"Maybe, maybe I've really been favored by fate?"

Leiter took a sip of tea and said jokingly: "Sometimes, even myself, I have this illusion. ”

Mycroft shook his head with a smirk, and after a pause, said, "The Flame Lion Mercenary Regiment you just mentioned, I know their leader, whose name is Wardrigg.

But I don't know much about them, and I don't know much about them in the past.

Especially six years ago, a big battle broke out in the Cold Snap Defense Line, and some royal bloodlines - the Shadow Tiger People and the Night Cat People took the opportunity to sneak into the rear, making a mess of the surrounding area of Cold Ice City at that time, and many people died.

Since then, the mercenary group of Ice City has ushered in a major reshuffle.

Probably, the Flame Lion Mercenary Group has been affected, and there has been a lot less activity since then.

In recent years, he has rarely been seen. ”

"I see...... Reiter's eyes flashed suddenly, and he nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, what are your plans for the future?"

Continuing to wander around? Or is it a tired bird returning to its nest and staying on the southwestern border? ”

"Me? I've traveled enough and don't want to toss anymore. McCroft smiled and said, "I was born on the Southwestern Frontier, and I grew up here, so it's good to stay here."

Otherwise... Why did I come back? ”

Reiter smiled, settled down, and took the opportunity to say, "In that case, Mycrof, I would like to invite you to my territory.

Of course, you're not my servant, we're still good friends, and I'm not going to force you to do anything.

If you want to learn alchemy, I have an alchemist there to guide you.

If you want to see the scenery, I have Sun Lake, savanna, woodland......

If you want to be a mentor, it just so happens that in my territory, some time ago I detected a little girl with the talent of a magician. ”

Leiter's tone was very sincere, and he did not use his aristocratic identity to form an oppression. After saying that, he looked straight at the other party, as if waiting for a reply.

Mycroft touched his chin, stared at the liquid in the teacup for a moment, suddenly scratched his hair, and said:

"Hmm, that sounds like a good choice......"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"But, forget about learning alchemy, I prefer a more leisurely life."

"Okay, I'll walk around with you."

"But it's not okay to be too idle, and after a long time, you'll get bored." McCroft smacked his mouth and said, "You are there, there is only one student now?" It's not bad to be a teacher......

"Haha, it's all up to you!"

......

A week later, Rett led the team back to Eagle Town.

On this day, a strong wind blew, and the whistling sound of the wind blew the thin trees and grass on both sides of the gray stone avenue, and they all fell to one side.

Sveta, who had been prepared for a long time, wore a thick leather jacket today, wrapped her body tightly, and stood in the cold wind, quietly waiting for the arrival of the master.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of wheels rolling, and the clatter of horses' hooves.

Sveta turned her head and saw Rett riding on Graygrid's back, his legs between his horse's belly, his reins in one hand, and waving at him with the other.

So he smiled, quickly greeted him, and said eagerly: "Welcome home!"

It's almost noon, do you want to grab a bite to eat? I can tell Cook Maru to cook a good lunch. ”

"No need." Reiter shook his head, pointed behind him, and said, "I would like to introduce you to my dear friend, Mycroft, who will live in my territory from now on."

Hear clearly, it's to live, it's to live with us, not to be my subordinate.

So, please arrange a room for him in the main fort.

The fourth floor is pretty good, next to Henk, and the two magicians can communicate more. ”

Sveta was slightly surprised, but looked behind him, and said enthusiastically to Mycrof, who was dressed in a gray cloak:

"The master's best friend is our honored guest in Eagle Town, and I am the master's most loyal butler, Sveta, warmly welcome your arrival!"

"Oh, Sveta, I'm very grateful." Mycroft stood up, rolled over and dismounted, and then said to Ret, "But... Forget about the main fort, I think it's nice to have a room for me in the secondary fort.

In the future, I will also teach students, and it is very convenient to live in the deputy fort. ”

"Well, if you like." Rett pursed his lips, then added, "Mycrof, what would you like to eat?" I'll send Cook Maru to make you some.

A while ago, I went hunting with the Dark Striped Eagle and brought back a large amount of Warcraft meat, all kinds of types.

There is the tender bighorn sheep, the rough but chewy flaming rhinoceros, the breast meat of the bloodhoofed boar, ......"

Reiter said a lot, then looked at Mycroft with a pair of eyes, waiting for a reply. The latter's expression did not change, but shook his head and said, "I have eaten all these demonic beasts, although they taste good.

But at this moment, I want to eat a kind of boiled peanuts that you made for me more than ten years ago, but it is different from ordinary boiled peanuts, and it tastes sour......"

The people next to him listened, a little confused, boiled peanuts, although it is a pleasant side dish, but how delicious can it be?

Only Leitt blinked, his thoughts flew to more than ten years ago, and after a few seconds, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember, you should be talking about vinegar-soaked peanuts." ”

"Peanuts soaked in vinegar?" Tucker's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly remembered, and said, "Father, you haven't made vinegar soaked peanuts for us for a long time, but you made it once when you were a child, and it tastes great!" ”

In this world, someone has long invented boiled peanuts and fried peanuts, after all, they are just simple cooking methods, the former can be soaked in salty water, and fried is a person who can cook.

But vinegar soaked peanuts is a small dish that LTECH moved from his previous life, and no one has invented it yet.

Or maybe someone tried it unintentionally, but it didn't circulate among the masses.

Vinegar-soaked peanuts are a bit like a combination of boiled peanuts and fried peanuts, the method is to fry them until they are half burnt, peeled and peeled, but the shell must go!

It is then soaked in vinegar water and allowed to penetrate the salty and sour flavor to form a texture that is between boiled and fried, and has a unique taste.

He did cook this dish a long time ago, but since he went to the front, he has rarely cooked it delicately.

After retiring, he lived a life of eating and opening his mouth, and he didn't need to cook himself, which caused him to almost forget this dish.

"Yes, yes, that's what you said about vinegar-soaked peanuts!" Mycroft's eyes lit up, and he said in a joking tone: "Reiter, if this request can't be met, I'll leave......"

Leiter shook his head with a smile and said, "Tsk, want to eat peanuts with jealousy?" Simple!

If you tell Cook Maru, she will learn it soon.

But to celebrate our reunion, I decided to cook it myself. ”

"Great." A smile appeared on McCroft's face: "In recent years, every time I eat boiled peanuts, I will think of the taste of vinegar-soaked peanuts.

Today, I was finally able to taste it again. ”

Lei Teer raised his eyebrows: "It's a piece of cake, let you eat enough in the future." ”

Next, Sveta took Mycrof to the deputy fort to arrange a room.

Reitt returned to the main castle and was the first to come to the kitchen.

"Maru, please help me prepare some peanuts." Rett said as he stood in the doorway.

"Oh my!" Malu, who was chopping vegetables, was startled by the sudden voice, patted his chest and said, "My lord, you are back, this is really a surprise.

Do you need fried peanuts? Or boiled peanuts? Do fried peanuts sweet or salty? As she spoke, Maru walked to the corner of the kitchen, untied the flax bag, grabbed a handful of peanuts, put them in a small basin, and began to peel them.

"Hmm... Neither. Leiter pondered for a moment and said, "It's vinegar soaked peanuts, you don't know how to do it."

I'll cook it myself, and you can just watch and learn from the side, and I hope that there will be one more dish on the table in the future. ”

"What? Your Lord, you want to cook the dishes yourself? Maru exclaimed, his eyes turned into round beads, reacted, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is absolutely not good, the kitchen is a place for us to stay, it is not suitable for you to come in, you are just outside the door, just tell me the steps."

Trust me in my cooking! ”

"Maru, of course I believe in your cooking." Reiter smiled helplessly and explained: "An old friend of mine came to my territory, and this dish has a special commemorative significance, so I am ready to make it myself, and I must do it myself." ”

As soon as the words fell, Leiter walked straight into the kitchen.

Maru opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, and lowered his head in frustration and continued to peel peanuts.

A few minutes later, LTECH began the cooking demonstration.

Remove from the pot, heat the oil, the oil temperature rises and a slight white smoke rises, and LITE pours in the peanuts......

A series of operations made the Malu chef who was watching from the side praise: "It is worthy of the lord, and the craftsmanship is really good." ”

Leiter smiled lightly, no matter what, in his previous life, he was alone and self-reliant early, and he learned to cook before he was an adult. Although he is not a master chef, his cooking skills are quite good.

To make vinegar soak peanuts, after frying, can not be cooled, you need to immediately put in vinegar water to soak, and then add a little salt and other seasonings.

When Maru saw this step, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, thinking about what the final texture and taste would be like with this method.

As she pondered, Reit, who was cooking, said, "Maru, there are a lot more people in the castle now than before, and the demand for each meal is increasing.

I'm afraid I'm overstretched by you alone, so I can't keep you busy......"

Maru was silent for a moment, although he didn't want to admit it, he also had to say: "Lord Lord's observation is very meticulous, I can barely maintain it at present, but if the population is larger in the future, I will need to recruit more assistants." ”

Rett said as he stirred the vinegar sauce, "Isn't this a good opportunity now, the town and the fire mine village have enough people for you to choose from."

The most important thing is to take advantage of the current situation and get a good grasp of cultivating talents.

How many people you need, just tell Svita directly. ”

"Understood, my lord!" Maru answered, and her eyes lit up slightly when she heard Sveta's name.

When the peeled and soaked black and white vinegar-soaked peanuts were presented to Malu, she showed an interested look, pinched one from the small dish, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly, and then tasted it.

"What a pleasant surprise!" Maru's eyes lit up and he was amazed: "The ingenious combination of vinegar water and peanuts is so delicious!" ”

Reiter smiled lightly and ordered, "This plate on the left, please help me deliver it to the sub-fort, Mycroft's room."

You don't know who Mycroft is yet, but... Let Sveta show you the way! ”

The smile on Maru's face was extraordinarily bright, and he said, "Lord Lord, I'll go now!" ”

Leaving the kitchen, Rett went to the second floor of the castle to go to Thales and retrieve his Fire Feather Eagle Demon Beast eggs - when he left the territory, he would entrust it to his son who stayed at home to help take care of and feed the fire essence.

In the process of going upstairs, Leiter's spiritual power sensed the fluctuation of the apprentice magician-level in Thales's room, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

In the days since he left, Thales has broken through to apprentice magician, as suggested in the simulation!

Moreover, during the absence, the system has already prompted the family members to advance and the fate value has increased.

Knock knock

There was a knock at the door.

Thales' voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?" ”

"It's me."

"Father? I'm coming! ”

Hearing a familiar voice, Thales hurried to the door, opened the door, looked uncontrollable in surprise, and said, "Father, you have finally returned."

You don't know, a week ago, I broke through to apprentice magician! ”

"Haha, that's good!" Reitt smiled, stroked Thales' hair, and said, "I noticed a change in you when I went upstairs just now.

Congratulations, Thales, for taking an important step.

In the future, you can free yourself to pursue alchemy. ”

Thales smiled happily: "It's already started, I will now go to the alchemy laboratory every day to study with Mr. Henk!" ”

"Hmm." Leiter nodded, then his face was slightly serious, and he advised: "I support you in pursuing your dreams, but when you learn alchemy, you can't leave behind the meditation of spiritual power."

Magic is closely related to alchemy, and only strong mental power can support you in pursuing the deeper realms of alchemy. ”

"I understand, Father, I'll meditate!" This kind of alchemy common sense, Thales had already learned from Henk, so he replied seriously.

After that, Thales slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot, Father, wait a minute!" ”

Immediately, he ran to the edge of the windowsill, took away the rugby-sized monster egg, came to Leiter, held it with both hands, and said: "After more than half a month of feeding, I feel that the breath of life in the monster egg has been quite vigorous.

It seems that it is possible to hatch out of the shell anytime and anywhere, and it must not be long before my father will be able to have a flying demonic beast! As he spoke, Thales looked very envious.

Rett took the Fire Feather Eagle Demon Beast egg, feeling the rich fire element as if it was alive, and his eyes showed joy.

He patted Thales on the shoulder, "When the Fire Feather Eagle grows up, I'll take you fly!"

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
