Chapter 16: The Golden Goose

After everyone had raised their glasses, Ethan Dimilit, the leader of the harpists, made a rare attempt to "hook up" with the wandering mage, but put down his glass and continued to caress his round belly as if satisfied. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Master Mountbatten probably understood his thoughts, and did not make a fool of himself, so that the two apprentices gathered up the scraps from the table, greeted Lord Reze with a slight forehead, and then extended his hand to invite the leader of the harpists to go up the stairs to the small parlor on the third floor to catch up.

Lu Bin watched the two disappear into the spiraling corridor, and heard the footsteps gradually disappearing, so he got up and went to the kitchen, and cooperated with Moder and Fei Xi to clean up.

"Go and wipe down the table, and I'll leave the dishes to me. ”

Lu Bin couldn't help but snatch the work from Fei Xi's hands, although he was still prejudiced against him, but he didn't have to deal with the greasy dishwashing water, the female mage apprentice was actually very happy in his heart, and glanced at Moder, who was busy with his hands and feet, but he asked the wandering mage with puzzled eyes.

"Women who are weaker in physical strength always receive some preferential treatment, but as men, we have to take on more responsibilities and learn more skills, such as being in charge of the whole kitchen. ”

Modell nodded heavily: "I very much agree with your opinion! Fei Xi's critical eye is very useful when buying daily necessities in the bazaar, but her cooking skills are at an ordinary level, not to mention your Excellency the master of cuisine, even I surpass her too much." ”

Fishy, who was wiping the table in the dining room, had already pricked up his ears and listened attentively to the conversation between two like-minded males when they were chatting together.

She didn't think it was inappropriate for what Lu Bin said, but thought that his idea was very good, and he was finally able to get out of the smoky kitchen work.

As for Moder, who is like her brother, although what she said is a little unpleasant, she gladly accepts it with a critical eye, and as for saying that her cooking skills are at an ordinary level, Faich has an opinion.

She really wanted to rush into the kitchen immediately, pinching the soft flesh of Moder's waist and letting out a ladylike growl into his ear, "Aren't you happy to eat the meals I usually prepare, like a pig?"

After thinking about it carefully, and remembering that Moder usually took care of him like a sister, Feych generously forgave him for his momentary aphasia.

Fortunately, Lord Reze did not continue to answer, and the slippery cup and plate managed to grab most of his attention, and as for Moder, he was not in the habit of speaking ill of others behind his back.

After almost smashing a silver plate, Lu Bin reopened the topic: "I have a way to completely remove the grease from the tableware, are you interested?"

Modell groaned, and his eyes immediately turned, and at the same time, Feys, who was busy with the light work at hand, also pricked up his ears.

"It's not a past I've experienced, it's something I've heard. When Lu Bin mentioned his own business, Moder would see Lord Rez's eyes become deep.

"A long time ago, when a young man was attending a summer festival, in order to attract the attention of his dream lover, he wiped his messy hair with clear tallow and shiny, and his radiant appearance succeeded in attracting the attention of a curious girl, but he was teased by a jealous competitor and pushed into the stove without a fire. He couldn't bear to jump into the moat to die, and the good Samaritan hurriedly rescued the young man, and was surprised to find that he had become very clean, especially his hair stained with grass and wood ash, without any greasy feeling, and then ......"

Modell's mind was drawn to him, and even Faich, who was in the dining room, was attracted by this short and poignant love story, and approached the kitchen, where everything had been decided: "And then?"

Lu Bin's tone changed: "Then, the young man discovered a secret and became very rich from then on. ”

"Heh!" Fei Xi experienced this kind of Jedi reversal for the first time, and she really wanted to scold, but she was a smart person after all, and she quickly understood the secret hidden in the story told by the wandering mage, and sighed helplessly.

"So what are we waiting for?"

Relatively speaking, Moder is a doer with a similar temper to Lu Bin, and he has everything in the kitchen, and he quickly takes action.

"I don't know the exact proportion, I can only prove it through a large number of repeated tests, and it is best to follow the practice of alchemy experiments, make prior records and complete data collection. ”

Lu Bin sent an assistive advice at the right time, and in a blink of an eye, the somewhat hot-headed Moder regained his composure, and he nodded lightly to show that he understood the kindness of His Excellency Rez.

Stir it with a cup of butter mixed with the same amount of plant ash, and the dirty paste-like ointment in Fei Xi's eyes was plucked out by the wandering mage with his fingers, thrown onto the greasy silver plate, and the palm of his hand was attached to it to spread evenly, and then placed in the sink to rinse back and forth.

After a while, Lu Bin took out the cleaned silver plate and did not hand it to Moder, who was more familiar with him, but Fei Xi, who did not know when he walked into the kitchen.

The female mage apprentice reached out and touched the plate with her fingers, without any greasy feeling, raised her head in surprise, and stared straight at the wandering mage: "This is true!

Lu Bin secretly apologized in his heart: "The cleaning effect of the simple butter soap is indeed true, as for the story I said, even I have doubts." ”

Modell walked slowly to the sink and cleaned a silver bowl according to Lord Reze's practice, the original slippery bowl was not only as clean as a new bowl that had just been pressed, but the clarity of the appearance was almost blindfolding.

"Thank you so much, Lord Rez, you really helped us a lot. ”

Lu Bin did not politely take the first credit, and then changed his words: "The specific formula ratio still requires a lot of boring and repeated experiments, and you are the experts in this regard...... Tomorrow we will set off on an adventure in the Grey Forest, and it seems that we can only leave it to Master Mountbatten, and only your teacher, who is highly skilled in alchemy, can put the recipe into practice. ”

Moder's tone was a little emotional: "Dear Lord Rez, this is a recipe that is enough to create a family, and you are really willing to give it to us." ”

Lu Bin's face showed a rare look of embarrassment: "I won't tell you the truth, I did this to make up for my mistakes." The knight had trouble sleeping last night, and as was my own habit, I got up and wandered around the second floor of the Mage Tower, when I was forced to engage a living armor and tear it down. I am deeply disturbed by the fact that it should be part of the internal defense system of the Mage Tower, so I am handing over this modest gift to Master Mountbatten through your hands, so that I can safely set out on my way to the Grey Forest. ”

At the same time, in the meditation room on the third floor, the leader of the harpists who heard this conversation smiled approvingly, and Master Mountbatten was a little uneasy, he did not expect that such important information would be known by Mr. Ethan Dimilit, and with his person, he would definitely not let go of the value of the wandering mage Rez.

"Unfortunately, Ethan Dimirit must have known to me that if something happened to him, I would never have been able to get away with it. Having completely offended the harper, Baron Freud could not protect my safety, after all, this powerful organization has the strength to surpass ordinary principalities. ”

Ethan Dimirit's gaze withdrew from the crystal ball, not noticing the mood of the owner of the mage tower at the moment, secretly assessing the value of the wandering mage Lord Rez, and refreshing his gold content again.

"Oh! a goose that lays golden eggs, whatever it costs, must be put into the order of the harpist, in my hands. ”

As if to see the harpist's leader's thoughts, Master Mountbatten took out the staff from his sleeve and tapped the crystal ball gently: "Mr. Dimirit, don't forget that Lord Reiz is a guest of Baron Freud, and he has replenished his spell reserves in my mage's tower, you should know the rules." ”

"I know, I know, but as far as I know, when Lord Reze left the wilderness and showed up in Rest Town, the first contact was not friendly, and the two sides even clashed, but fortunately he showed extreme restraint. If it were you and me, not to mention that they were generally only guards of first-class soldiers, even the town office would be overturned. ”

Master Mountbatten snorted coldly, and was not indifferent to the temptation of the harpist leader: "There is no other way out than to anger Baron Freuyd and lead me to use all my strength to deal with the wandering mage." Lord Rez is a wise man of prudence, and though I do not deny it, he can easily clean up the guards who offended him that night, but are faithful to their duties. ”
