"Huh? There's a black lotus here? ”

Tucker's voice of delight came from a bush.

Shortly after he and Thales parted, he found two black lotus plants growing together in a bush.

"Relai seems to have said that the rhizome of black lotus grass is quite fragile, and you need to be careful when pulling it out, first loosen the surrounding soil......" Tucker said as he dug through the surrounding dirt with his hands. He hadn't dealt with a magic plant like black lotus much before, and he wasn't very experienced, so he was extra careful in his movements.

"Oh no......"

Tucker looked at the black lotus grass in his hand with a regretful expression, he barely used much force just now, but when he pulled it out, the root broke off on its own.

"This black lotus plant is too fragile, and if the roots are broken, the taste will be worse." As a food lover and a standard foodie, although his father did not require that the black lotus grass be intact, Tucker himself was not very satisfied.

He shook his head, thinking back on what he had just done, and decided to be a little more careful next time!

Immediately, he looked at another black lotus plant two meters away, walked over, and carefully cut through the dirt.

This time, no matter how thin and soft the soil was, he didn't plan to cut it directly.

A moment later, when the last layer of dirt was ripped off and the black lotus grass was held intact in the palm of his hand, Tucker grinned at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that I have come to work in time, and I met two black lotus plants at once, growing together!" Tucker thought contentedly, and stood up and walked away—time was running out, and he had to hurry to find the few remaining black lotus plants to complete the target.

Luckily, Tucker walked another kilometer and found the target again.

He strode forward, repeated the operation just now, and successfully harvested the fourth black lotus grass.

His inner motivation was even more abundant, and he immediately ran away again, shuttling through the woods.

The golden leaves and direct sunlight shine through the dead branches and rattans, illuminating the surroundings.

Tucker, who was running, accidentally found a footprint, which was very abrupt in the forest, a bit like a cover track, but there was a mistake in the handling.

Tucker's footsteps suddenly stopped, blinked, stared at the familiar size of the indentation, leaned forward to take a closer look, and suddenly whispered:

"Huh? This... Isn't it Thales' footprints? Why is he here, did he just come? ”

Tucker looked thoughtful, glanced left and right, continued to observe, and found that the dust around him also had traces of covering, and frowned:

"Looks like the footprints were deliberately covered? Why did he do it? ”

At this moment, the breeze blew, and the bushes in front of me shook gently, and a touch of darkness shook in front of me.

Tucker's expression moved, "Huh? Black lotus! ”

His eyesight was excellent, and he easily caught a black lotus grass mixed in the dense bushes with the swaying leaves just now.

There was a flash of joy in his eyes.

Then, it was replaced by a touch of suspicion.

Tucker looked at the footprints next to him, his brow furrowed slightly, and he felt that something was wrong.

He stepped forward and carefully observed, observing the softness of the soil, the traces of the bushes, and the branches and rhizomes of the black lotus.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?"

It took a few minutes for Tucker, who didn't find anything abnormal, muttered, shook his head, put away the black lotus, and continued to walk forward.

Under the soft light, Tucker found four more black lotus plants one after another, and the whole process went quite smoothly.

But the more it went well, the more doubts in his heart intensified: "Is luck really so good?" ”

With the last plant left, Tucker continued to search the woods with a heavy heart.

Finally, next to the root of a gray tree, Tucker looked at the black lotus in front of him in a daze, he didn't expect to find it so easily!

Compared to the beginning, this difficulty has been reduced from hell to novice.

He pondered for a moment, then bent down to continue digging the earth, and the traces of Thales' footprints that he had found not long ago made him subconsciously observe something unusual.

But when he took the black lotus out of the soil, he didn't find anything special.

"Well, it seems that I really thought about it too much, and although that footprint is very fresh, it is also possible that Thales was wandering around while I was out to kill the monsters. I'll go back and ask him later. ”

Tucker shook his head and muttered to himself, patting the dirt off his hands as he prepared to turn back.

Suddenly, there were faint traces in the air.

His gaze froze, staring at the ground beside the black lotus grass motionless.

His eyes widened, and he reached out and pinched the air.

Then, Tucker maintained a 'pinching' posture and pressed it in front of his eyes, only to see a slender strand of hair, fluttering lightly and automatically without wind.

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.

It's a wavy strand of hair, and Thales is also this hairstyle.

Tucker thought back to the length of Thales' hairstyle, and when he compared it with the hair in front of him, it completely coincided!

He gave a look of surprise.

At this moment, although Tucker is usually careless, but such obvious clues are connected, and he also faintly guesses the truth in his heart - the black lotus grass is artificially planted.

"No wonder it suddenly became so easy to find black lotus......

He looked at the slender hair again, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and smiled: "Thales, this guy ......"

Leiter, Raylai, and Thales, the three of them had already processed the ingredients of the flaming rhinoceros and the bloodhoofed boar, and the pieces of tender meat steaks were put on the grill.

Ruilai put the last piece of meat steak on the table, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Everything is ready!" Now it's just a matter of getting people together, and you're ready to go! ”

After that, he looked at the empty woodland in front of him, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes: "Huh? Tucker has been gone for three hours, why hasn't he come back yet?

Even if the black lotus grass grows more scattered and is not easy to live in groups, it shouldn't be wasted so long......

Rett looked straight ahead with a pair of eyes, and then at Thales, and saw that the latter was a little absent-minded, his eyes were confused.

"No, I've put it so obviously, I guess Tucker still can't find the black lotus......" Thales lowered his head, secretly scolding.

He did take advantage of Tucker's departure to help him kill the Bloodhoof Boar and the Flame Rhino, and carefully selected a few places to secretly hide the black lotus grass.

And as a magician, it's not difficult to make sure that the soil is soft and restored to its original state.

But in order to avoid being seen by Tucker as deliberate, the place he picked was not particularly obvious.

But now that so much time has passed, and Tucker has not returned, Thales can't help but wonder, is he still hiding too deeply?

Alas, it should be simpler than to overestimate Tucker's mind......

"Tucker, you're hurt?"

Thales, who was thinking wildly, heard his father, who was sitting across from him, speak.

He blinked, realized what had happened, and turned his head sharply to see Tucker walking slowly from behind, holding a handful of black lotus in his hand.

Thales unconsciously brought a smile into the corner of his eye.

But at the same time, he was a little nervous in his heart, and muttered to himself: "He shouldn't find out what I did, right?" Ha, probably not, Tucker isn't shrewd......"

"Ah, I was slightly injured and met a second-order ice crystal tiger that was scratched by those sharp claws." Tucker touched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

Then he raised his right hand, grabbed a handful of black lotus grass, and said quite complacently: "Father, I have finally found these ten black lotus plants." ”

Rett glanced at Tucker lightly: "This is punishment, not a mission."

But... You're doing a good job. ”

Tucker sat down with a big grin, squeezing Thales away once more.

Thales frowned this time, but didn't say anything, and smiled secretly in his heart, "Big fool, it seems that you haven't found it, the black lotus grass in your hand is all deliberately left by me......"

At this time, Leiter smiled and said, "Children, I'm here to announce the good news, Ruilai has just broken through to a third-level magician, let's applaud him." ”

The words fell, and Reitt took the lead in applauding.

Bang bang bang

Tucker and Thales also lit up, clapped their hands, and congratulated heartily.

"Congratulations, Raylai.

Speaking of which, you're always one step ahead of me, and I really don't know when I'll be able to catch up. Tucker grinned, and his ass unconsciously moved to the left.

Thales suddenly felt that the position was much empty, so he moved inwardly and glanced at Tucker.

Then he also congratulated Ruilai: "Congratulations, Ruilai, it seems that you will become the second magister of our family.

And I, the third! ”

cracking sound

At this time, the steak that had just been placed on the grill was bubbling with oil and making a crackling sound.

"Thank you all for your blessings." Rylai smiled and looked at the grill, "Looks like the barbecue is almost ready, let's enjoy this delicious lunch together." ”

Tucker began to pound the black lotus.

Black lotus has a neutralizing effect on the spice and makes it more flavorful.

Raylai and Thales flicked their fingers and sprinkled other spices, while Rett sat motionless as if they were on the Diaoyu Tai, waiting for the filial piety of their three sons.

The seasoning of this world is slightly different from that of Blue Star, but the overall taste is better, and the varieties are rich and diverse after countless years of excavation.

"Sprinkle a little more black rice powder." Reiter said as he watched from the sidelines.

Ground black is a flavor similar to ground cumin and black pepper, which has some of the characteristics of both, but is also a little different.

The important thing is that LTECH likes the taste.

"No problem!" Rely is attentive and has excellent force control.

In less than half an hour, with the joint efforts of several people, the barbecue steak was completed.

Tucker was quick to pick up the largest, and most thoroughly cooked, steak and placed it directly on Thales' plate.

Thales' eyes widened and froze in place, he didn't expect Tucker to give himself the first cutlet......

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said, "Why do you give me this steak, I don't eat steaks with chili powder!" I'll leave it to you. ”

"Let you eat, what so much nonsense." Tucker urn sound urn airway.

Thales snorted, "I won't eat it." ”

At this time, Ruilai touched his chin, sprinkled black Ji powder, and said, "Thales, grow so big, I've never heard that you don't eat chili peppers......"

Thales' face was slightly red, "People change, they just hate one thing, what's so strange?" ”

"Really? But at your last banquet, you also ate a lot of spicy blue shellfish lobster......"

"Relai, you may be mistaken, it was Tucker who ate, not me."

Tucker didn't say a word, and while Thales and Raylai were talking, he picked out another meat chop and put it on Thales' plate: "There is no chili pepper in this piece." ”

Thales moved slightly in his heart, and quietly took the plate, "Ahem, thanks." ”

Tucker didn't respond, glanced at the steak on the grill, and continued to pound the black lotus grass.

At this moment, Leiter, who was watching from the sidelines, witnessed the process just now, with a strange look on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart:

"It's kind of interesting, Tucker and Thales, the two brothers, seem to have a much better relationship.

Though... I don't know if it's the cause or how long it lasts, but it's all a good thing......"

"Father, your steak is ready, please enjoy!" Rylai sprinkled with spices and shiny meaty steaks on a plate in front of Leitt.

Leiter sniffed the fragrance lightly and exclaimed:

"Thales' ingredients, Tucker's seasonings, Ruilai's roast, today's barbecue has a unique flavor!"

Half a month later.

Dressed in a black trench coat and sitting cross-legged on the bed, Rett opened his eyes and sighed softly.

"Ugh."

In the past half a month, he has mainly focused on the perception of the mysteries, and the time wasted the most on the mysteries of condensation.

I have to say that without the help given by the sand elves, the perception of the mysteries of condensation, compared with the mysteries of dispersion, can be described as turtle speed, and there has been no progress during this period.

At present, for the condensation of the mystery, he can only achieve partial condensation and solidification of the body, which is still far from the condensation and solidification of the whole body, not to mention the magic that acts on it.

Originally, according to his concept, if the sand wolf roar could be blessed by the Xuan Mystery of Condensation, and then combined with the Xuan Mystery of Scattering, I am afraid that any one of them could only single out the earth knight of the same level.

Unfortunately, according to the current trend, there is still a long way to go to achieve this.

He looked at the blue sky in the distance and thought: "If only there were other earth spirits who could provide me with mystical understanding......

"Rock elves? Diamond Genie? King Kong elves? ”

Leiter doesn't know if there are any of these kinds of elves in the world, it's just cranky.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed my mind!

Rett has come up with a new idea that might help him find a new earth spirit!

"That's right, the royal family is well-informed, and the news channels must be abundant, I can try to ask Prince Hogus to help me keep an eye on whether there is any news of earth elves being collected from now on......"

Thinking of this, Leiter's eyes gradually brightened.

He thought he should do a simulation.

On the one hand, it's to find news about the elves.

On the other hand, there is also an important thing - to make suggestions to the Circle Tower to see if it can be adopted and avoid the end of destruction.

Truth be told, although he hoped to earn a lot of merit through the war, and grab a lot of wealth and resources from it.

But this kind of chaos that can be prevented made him watch it happen, and it was somewhat against his beliefs to give up the opportunity to stop it.

Shaking his head helplessly, LTECH turned on the system.
