In the dining room on the first floor of the Aromatic Manor, as the servants set the plates for grilled fish on the table, a strong smell penetrated the noses of the Gwen and the others, greatly enriching their saliva secretion.

As a "fragrant" estate, there is no shortage of spices, and the most suitable for grilling, Garol fish from the freshwater lake near Baiam, the taste is quite tempting.

However, at this moment, except for Tran, who nimbly picked up the "chopsticks" placed next to the plate, Lydia and Miss Gwen were a little overwhelmed.

What about knives and forks? What are these two dendritic things?

Just when they were confused, Abner also skillfully picked up the "chopsticks" and explained with a smile:

"When eating grilled fish, you have to use this kind of tableware called 'chopsticks', which is said to have been inspired by the elven customs of Russell the Great."

As he spoke, he delicately picked up a piece of fish meat as a demonstration.

"Elven customs?" Gwen, who is of "giant" blood, and Lydia, who is simply "blood", have no special feelings for elves, but this does not prevent them from learning to use this unique tableware with great interest.

Miss Gwen tried to pick up the fish, but she was too strong to break it up...... She frowned, glanced at Mr. Bryan's nimble movements at the top again, and subconsciously became serious, using the extraordinary ability of the "weapon master" to turn the chopsticks into a weapon, and soon used it like a finger.

On the other hand, Lydia couldn't help but be a little discouraged after a long time of unsuccessful work, and wanted to eat the fish that smelled very good, anyway, that little thorn was nothing to the blood clan.

Even because the chef has specially stuffed spices through the holes in the eyes of the Garol fish to ensure that there is a taste inside and out, if you are not afraid of those fish bones getting stuck in your throat, it is actually quite good to chew......

- The eyes of the Garol fish do not have eyeballs, and the entire eye is even closed when it is alive, and only when it wants to "see" the surrounding things will a faint layer of light appear in the corresponding "eye" position, as if forming a channel, or "pupil"...... It will "close" after a few seconds.

But just a few seconds allow the Galore fish to figure out their surroundings and topography, and if they are not carried too far by the current, they will not need to be "observed" again for several days.

After the death of the Galore fish, the "faint light" will condense into an opaque white liquid, and its originally closed eyes will instantly become a "hollow", which will go straight to the fish's brain and various organs.

To get back to the point, when Lydia was hesitating to eat the fish with the thorns, Tran, who was beside her, reached over with the chopsticks and demonstrated the correct use of "chopsticks" for her while helping her pick the thorns.

Lydia was surprised and satisfied, leaned her head closer, and whispered, "You're very good at using this kind of cutlery!" ”

"'Chopsticks' were not actually invented by Russell the Great, and our family has been using 'chopsticks' in the etiquette that has been passed down for more than 1,000 years...... Legend has it that this was a rule laid down by an ancestor. Taran also lowered his voice.

"Ancestor, is that Lord Yalolan?" Lydia asked curiously as she enjoyed Tran's "service".

"How do you know that I am a descendant of that Excellency?" Tran paused with his hand holding chopsticks and said in surprise.

He remembered that he hadn't told Lydia about his origins...... Although I didn't deliberately hide it.

"My brother told me...... The members of our family will be attracted to the descendants of Yalolan...... So, I guess it's always hard to control......" Lydia replied.

"That'...... So you're just drawn to me because of your occult connections? As he spoke, Tran pursed her lips, her face a little pale.

"Fool...... If I were simply attracted to this, I would have sucked you dry a long time ago! Lydia reached out and twisted Tran to tell him not to be cranky.

Then, the two of them bit their ears as if no one was around, and their attention was completely diverted from the grilled fish.

Their "little movements" naturally couldn't be hidden from Abner, and even Miss Gwen, who was eating fish at the table, listened to it well.

The latter smiled awkwardly at Abner and explained to his subordinates: "They just had a breakthrough in their relationship recently, so they ......"

"It's just a dinner with friends, not a banquet, so there's no need to follow any dining etiquette." Abner didn't care, but kept emphasizing that it was not a "banquet".

Miss Gwen breathed a sigh of relief and gradually let go of her manners, and chatted with Abner as she enjoyed her meal.

Abner asked as he remembered the possible remains of the Giant's Castle beneath Gwyn's grandfather's inn;

"I remember you mentioned that the reason why you were so adventurous and extraordinary was because you got a notebook by chance when you were a child?"

"Yes, it's a notebook written by a descendant of a Quaternary giant, and although it's incomplete, many pages are missing, but it also contains a lot of occult knowledge, including potion recipes for 'warriors' and 'gladiators'.

"And at the end of the note, the Giant Descendant mentions the cave we had ventured into together......"

Miss Gwen said, giving Abner a strange look, not understanding why he was asking.

But she didn't have anything to hide, after all, she had told the other party about the notebook when she was by the waterhole deep in the cave...... Moreover, the "Sword of Dawn" formed by the "legacy" of that giant is still in the hands of the other party.

Speaking of which, the name "Sword of Dawn", Mr. Bryan still chose it at my "prompting".

Just as Miss Gwen's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, Abner's voice "called" her back: "May I look at the notebook?" In exchange, I can tell you the recipe for the potion for the 'Dawn Knight'. ”

Previously intercepting the "Immortal King" detachment, Abner killed the fleet admiral "Grey Giant" Gravina and gained his extraordinary characteristics.

And since the "Dawn Knight" trait has been stored in his hands for so long, he has naturally "analyzed" the potion formula a long time ago.

"That's too precious......" Miss Gwen waved her hand repeatedly, although the notebook was precious, but the most important information in it, the location of the underwater cavern, was worthless, and it was completely incomparable to the Sequence 6 level potion recipe.

"In fact, it may be worth more than you think!" Abner didn't explain much, but his tone was serious, so that Miss Gwen was immediately convinced, and after agreeing to the deal, she couldn't help asking, "What does it really involve?" ”

Abner did not answer directly, but asked:

"Where did you get that notebook?"
