Chapter 17: The Knight Who Can't Use the Sword
Although Jotaro is still a little dizzy, he can get out of bed and walk around. However, before getting out of bed, Jotaro decided to claim the mission reward first.
"Mission completed, reward 1000 BOKI points, magic constitution potion, hermit's purple stand-in." "Shhh
A sense of power poured out of Jotaro's body, greatly relieving Jotaro's labor pains, which was particularly comfortable, and this feeling was refreshing when he just came out of the steaming steam room, drinking a glass of cold milk, and almost made Jotaro put his index finger on his temple.
[Ahh Jotaro laughed to himself.
This soul trauma has instead promoted the fusion of Jotaro's soul and this body. Although it is wonderful to say this, Jotaro can indeed say that he is more sand sculpture than a few days ago, even if it is the remnants of the previous owner of this body, he can't change the essence of his soul sand sculpture.
After the attribute enhancement of the stand-in just now, Jotaro's body, or mental state, has almost recovered, and he got up and washed, and began to probe all the doors of the mansion with ripples, and soon found the door he was looking for.
[Is it a toilet again?] Ahh Jotaro frowned, the last time I went to find Betty, the opportunity door seemed to be a toilet door, and this time it was actually the same.
"Good morning, Betty." "Good morning." As if accustomed to Jotaro's sudden attack, Betty still sat on the bed and read a book without even raising her head.
Then, Betty seemed to notice that something was wrong, was stunned, threw the book in her hand aside, looked at Jotaro in surprise and shouted, "Are you awake?" So fast? ”
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? "Absolutely!" Betty still had a horror in her eyes that had not dissipated, and continued with some excitement:
"Even with Betty's magic, with the injury of your soul at that time, it will take at least half a month to wake up, and it is not surprising that you will never wake up."
Betty looked Jotaro up and down, and said solemnly: "Moreover, your condition is still so good, no, it should be said that it is completely better, even stronger." You're such a monster, not just learning, but also fighting......"
"Ahh ”
"Thanks Betty?" Betty was a little surprised, and then continued, "No kidding, Betty didn't do anything, I don't need your thanks...... What is that? Halfway through her words, Betty was attracted by Jotaro's sudden lollipop.
"It's a candy unique to my world." Jotaro tore open the wrapper and handed the lollipop to Betty, who took it curiously and stretched out her delicate little tongue to lick it.
"It's so sweet! It's delicious! Obviously, even if Betty has lived for more than 400 years, it is difficult for a girl to get rid of the temptation of sweets. Betty was faced with a sweet taste that she had never felt before, and she immediately fell.
Jotaro was not surprised by Betty's big reaction, he had already discovered in the past few days that the world, whether it was sugar or salt refining, was no different from the medieval period of the earth.
So Jotaro used salt and sugar for cooking and bought it from the system mall by himself, because the sugar and salt in this world are too bad.
"Your thank you Betty loved it, thank you." Betty squinted her eyes and said happily because she was holding a lollipop. Jotaro smiled and said, "If you like it, it's fine." ”
"By the way, are you going to cook at noon today?" Betty asked, pulling the lollipop out of her mouth. Jotaro was strange, but he still answered truthfully: "Well, that's right, if nothing else, I'll be in charge of lunch and dinner in the future." ”
"That's great," Betty sat back on the bed and licked the lollipop in her hand, "Betty couldn't eat the meal at noon yesterday, and compared to the food you cooked, that pink-haired maid made it was as hard to swallow as the musty pig food that had been poured into a swill bucket for more than ten days." ”
"So what do you want to eat? Or rather, what flavor do you like? Jotaro asked with a little crying and laughing. Jotaro knew that Ram was not good at cooking, but he felt a little wronged for her.
Betty thought for a moment and said, "I think yesterday's dishes were delicious, according to what you said, are you going to make a new dish today?" "Hmm." Jotaro nodded, he was still thinking about what new dish to make today.
Betty was holding sugar, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose into a nice arc: "Then, Betty will look forward to it." ”
"Well, then you wait, you won't be disappointed." Jotaro crouched down and looked at Betty. With that, Jotaro turned around and left.
Betty watched Jotaro leave, staring at the door of the forbidden library in a daze, and then at the lollipop in her hand, a little stunned, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.
Jotaro, who had just left the forbidden library, happened to meet Nazuki Pleiades in the corridor, who was sorting out the murals. "Good morning, JO Taro-san. Are your injuries already healed? ”
"Well, it's no big deal." Jotaro pressed his hat, Natsuki seemed to be the main force to move himself back last night, but it made Jotaro think a lot of about him, although he was a little stupid and arrogant, but he was still very kind in his heart.
"JO Taro-san, can I ask you for something?" Natsuki suddenly approached Jotaro and pleaded with her hands folded. Faced with the sudden approach, Jotaro subconsciously took a few steps back: "What's the matter?" You say. ”
"JO Taro-san, I want to learn from you, I want to learn 'Ripple'!" Natsuki Pleiades's words directly thundered Jotaro, and Jotaro reacted at once and said:
"Cultivating 'Ripple' is very hard, your physical fitness is too weak, and you will be tired half to death doing housework, how can you survive the special training like this?"
"JO Taro-san, you don't look at how much work I do, it's no less than an ordinary workout, right?" Jotaro thought about it, indeed, the Rozval family is such a big house, just cleaning it is enough.
"Forget about apprenticeship, wait for tonight, it's still a question of whether you have the 'qualifications' to learn ripples." Jotaro said after a moment's thought.
Natsuki was overjoyed: "Thank you, JO Taro-san!" "It's a little frustrating for Natsuki to be a stand-in messenger, but being a ripple warrior is just as exciting.
"It's good to be young." Jotaro looked at Natsuki and almost jumped away with joy, pressed his hat and said, if he added the age of this life in his previous life, he would also be a middle-aged man in his forties.
Soon, it was close to noon, and when Jotaro arrived in the kitchen, Sylvie and Rem were already waiting in the kitchen. The Platinum Star floated out, took off Jotaro's hat and put it on Sylvie's head, and tied Jotaro's apron for him.
"Before I teach you how to cook, I have to let you know these things." Jotaro took out a bottle of soy sauce that had been torn open and explained to the two girls, "This is 'soy sauce', and it tastes salty and fresh."
"Soy sauce is divided into two types, one is 'light soy sauce' that is simply used for stir-frying, and the other is 'dark soy sauce' that is slightly sweet and used to color dishes."
"This is 'aged vinegar', which is different from the malt vinegar you have here, this vinegar is more inclined to be seasoned in dishes, and the taste is sour and slightly sweet."
"Because you're going to learn this time, try not to use a 'stand-in', but you'd better just watch it and get started in a few days."
Jotaro threw a piece of pork tenderloin into the air, and the Platinum Star floated out, shattering it in the air almost instantaneously, and then vanishing. Jotaro picked up a large bowl to catch the minced meat in the air, sprinkled it with brown sugar, salt, and poured soy sauce and a little vinegar.
"It's marinating the ingredients, and we're going to use these minced meats in two dishes today." Jotaro cracked two more eggs in and said as he stirred. Sylvie and Rem looked at Jotaro with a look of adoration.
The magician's red appeared, lit the stove, Jotaro took out the rice that had been cooked in advance, heated the pot with oil, poured all the rice into it, scattered it and stir-fried it well, and after adding a little salt, he added vegetarian sanding and began to stir-fry, and a fragrance unconsciously permeated the entire kitchen, making the two women sniff.
(It's green beans and corn kernels and diced ham, the author's supermarket has a package that is easy to sell, and the label paper is weirdly written with vegetarian three dings, and I wonder if the ham is not vegetarian, right?) Su Sanding is obviously a dish, fried with corn kernels, cucumbers and carrots. )
When the vegetarian three dings are almost cooked, add light soy sauce, salt and a little vinegar to enhance the flavor, and then put them in a pot and remove them from the pot. Considering that today's staple food is fried rice, Jotaro only made two dishes, a crispy eggplant box with an enlarged portion, and steamed pork and eggs, while cooking a pot of mustard and pork offal soup.
……………………………………………
"It's great, I've finally eaten Jotaro's food, it's still so delicious. Yesterday I didn't eat for almost a day because I had no interest in what other chefs were cooking. ”
Rozval said in a funny tone as he picked up his meal, and the appearance of eating was not much more elegant than the day before yesterday, but it made people worry about whether he would choke.
Not surprisingly, with Rozval's violent cough, Jotaro looked uncomfortable, presumably he should have learned that he would talk well when eating in the future.
Betty put a spoonful of steamed eggs into her mouth, and paused as if she had been stimulated by something, although her face was expressionless, but she looked at Jotaro with a little smile and appreciation.
Jotaro took into account the special taste of the young elf and sprinkled a little sugar into her favorite egg.
It seemed to be back to normal, Rozval used a normal tone, carefully chewed the food in his mouth, and said to Jotaro in a solemn tone: "Rem has already told me your speculation, I think it should be like this,"
"Mistress Emilia has become a target of the Witch Cult." Rozval's words, Emilia who was directly tasting the eggplant box was stunned.
"Yes, their purpose is indeed Emilia, although I don't know the motive, but it should be inseparable from this royal election." Jotaro said as he took a box of eggplants for Sylvie.
"But don't worry, Amilia, I, as a member of this mansion, will do my best to protect you." Jotaro was a little worried about this immature girl, and said comfortingly.
"I'm fine, thank you Jotaro." Emilia came back to her senses and said to Jotaro with a smile, she didn't hesitate to believe Jotaro, and by this man's side, she could feel the security she hadn't felt for a long time.
"Anyway, I'm really grateful to Jotaro, but I don't know what would have turned out if it hadn't been for Jotaro."
Everyone knows that Rozval is talking about yesterday's Warcraft invasion, and if it weren't for Jotaro, although Parker and Betty could protect the mansion, no one in the nearby village would have survived the Warcraft's mouth.
Jotaro took a sip of soup and said calmly, "It's just what I can do, it's not a big deal." ”
Rozval had returned in the morning and had no idea about Jotaro's injury, and, it seemingly, Rem had not told him that he could stop time.
"Really?" Rozval said thoughtfully, and then smiled meaningfully at Jotaro, "Then can I ask you something?" Jotaro? His eyes shone with a strange light.
