Chapter 10: Picnic Meeting
This time it came suddenly, and the horse was suspended and twisted to the waist, and when he came back to his senses, his whole body was uncomfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But he forced himself not to make a sound, because Pigo saw a group of native warriors.
These were six tall, muscular, dark-skinned men who emerged silently from the shade of the trees, like a group of ghosts.
Magellan touched the key of his tongue, which had just flown into his arms, and stood motionless behind the tree, looking at the eyes of one of the warriors among the natives staring at him, covered in cold sweat.
It wasn't until the native warriors silently lifted up the beast and disappeared into the forest as silently as they appeared, that Magellan straightened up.
He distinctly heard the joints of his body grinding against wood.
Pico and Magellan stood together beside the blood stains on the ground, silent.
"Are you alright?"
"Low back pain. ”
Magellan grabbed the trunk of a big tree next to him and smashed his waist: "If this is an accident, then we are too unlucky." ”
"It doesn't matter if it's an accident or not, we're running out of time, let's go. ”
"You're not afraid of running into them again? Seriously, they're going to kill someone. ”
"I'm going to find ingredients for a picnic. ”
Pico's face showed an expression that could be called "expressionless", making him look almost as majestic as the ancient orc khan.
"You won. Magellan said as he pulled out the key to his tongue from his bosom.
......
On a hillside, the grass is green and the sun is shining, and the expedition members gather here to enjoy the rare leisure and good weather.
On a flat field in the middle of the hillside, a large white carpet covers the lawn, where the countess and scholars gather.
The Countess is full of tyrant nature, and does not hesitate to use multiple magic props in the death turbulence of the essence, making this place quite comfortable. You know, after all, this place is in the rainforest, not only is it hot and humid, but there are also thousands of mosquitoes that cannot be prevented.
Magellan was dressed in a formal suit, and he mingled among the gentlemen like a dog, and from time to time he said a few nonsense words that caused a burst of laughter, but he was also quite complacent.
As noon approached, Chef Pitt began to prepare lunch for the Countess and her guests, and Helen gathered the crowd at the right time to introduce them to a new friend.
"This is Mr. Ron, and of course, most people who know him call him, White Hat. ”
A tall man stood beside the countess, took off his white hat from his head to the crowd, and bowed slightly.
"He is the only distant friend recognized by the local tribe, and from this day forward, his tribal warrior friends will keep us safe and will join us in the excavation and let us welcome them. ”
Behind the white hat, several indigenous warriors walked over.
It was the same few people in the rainforest who had snatched Magellan's prey, and they even carried the snatched beast.
"It is a great honour for me to be able to work with some of the best scholars in the world and to serve a beautiful lady. The white hat bent down and kissed the back of the countess's hand, "As a greeting gift, I bring you the most popular local product, the beast called by the local tribe, the okapi, and may you have a great appetite." ”
Everyone present except Magellan, including Chef Pi, smiled and welcomed the white hats.
Standing in the crowd, Magellan felt a little surprised, but more of a matter of course. He knew there would be such a day, but he didn't know when it would come.
After the introduction, people were free to move again. Pi Ge's team members set up long tables on all sides of the carpet with pre-dinner fruit on the table, and lunch was about to begin.
Magellan blended in with the crowd, consciously or unconsciously avoiding the white hat, knowing that it would be unpleasant for two people to meet together, and unpleasantly, Magellan could not win.
However, he still couldn't dodge it in the end, and the white hat who knew that he couldn't win would not let go of the opportunity.
"It's been a long time, old Magellan. ”
With a sincere smile on his face and a well-groomed beard, the white hat is really a gentleman with a heart-wrenching demeanor.
"When I joined the expedition, I wondered if I would ever have a chance to meet you, but then I thought about it, after all, three years have passed. But it seems that we are destined to meet this side, what a surprise. Magellan smiled exaggeratedly and shook his hand in the white hat enthusiastically.
"I've wasted too much time here, but you, the Countess, have a great appreciation for you, and after all these years, you finally have a bright future. ”
Magellan looked at the white hat and was amazed.
There is no sarcasm, no subtext, full of sincerity and nostalgia for the past time.
This is not the white hat he knows.
"The three years here have taught me a lot of things," said the white hat's face with sincere emotion, "I'm really happy to meet an old friend." ”
Magellan looked shocked and speechless.
"I made too many childish mistakes when we were together in the past, and I hope you didn't take it to heart. ”
"Of course not, I forgot about it a long time ago, ahahahaha......" Magellan laughed exaggeratedly.
The past is just a passing moment, and the current contradictions are just a conflict of interests, and now there is no reason. But Magellan did not want to forgive the white hats.
He didn't like the man and didn't want to change that.
For a while, the scene was extremely embarrassing, and at this moment, Chef Pi saved his comrade-in-arms Magellan.
Not far away, there was a smell of meat.
This burst of meat is fragrant but not greasy, sweet and long...... In short, it is very fragrant and makes people want to eat it.
"It's amazing...... White Hat finally let go of Magellan's hand, "the most common food here is okapi, but never before...... It's amazing. That's what civilization tastes like, isn't it. ”
"Most of the credit goes to Chef Pico, there is civilization everywhere in the world, isn't it. ”
"Ah, worthy of His Excellency the Countess, what an envy. ”
Chef Pi's kitchen is not far away on the lawn, the stove and the food rack are set up one after another, and the assistants are either chopping vegetables on the cutting board and spreading sauce in front of the barbecue. The enticing aroma is the meat on the charcoal fire, the fat oozing from the surface of the golden brown meat, and the sound of swallowing saliva is constantly heard in the crowd that gradually gathers.
"This ...... Not a okapi?"
"This is a wild boar that Chef Pi and I found in the rainforest this morning, after all, okapi is an ingredient that has never been seen before, and I don't think Chef has yet to figure out how to cook it. ”
