Chapter 196: Black Water Strider on the Dining Table
In a fine dining restaurant in Saniro.
Pawa sat in the back, holding a feather in his hand, and wrote neatly on paper.
"Dear Jyoti, is it okay over there at the Elven Lake? With your intelligence and ability, there must be no problem, I'm just afraid that you might get bored by these black water puddles.
Those monsters are very aggressive and eat everything. Lord Sarina has revealed the facts about these monsters, and now everyone knows about them.
Don't worry. The hunting regiments from Saniro have rushed to the south, including a large number of man-eating crab warriors, flocks of flocks of frenzy birds flying across the sea, flocks of white, and legions of fish-people.
The fishmen were well-armed this time, carrying a new potion of narcotic juice [Sleeping Potion] that allowed their bows and arrows to put the monsters to sleep.
They also bought a special iron cage and a brass plug from the Dwarven Fortress, which locks the Black Water Strider's sharp mouth so that it can't spit out dangerous tongue hooks......
Pawa dipped his feather in the ink in the bottle and continued.
"In Saniro, the Lord of Bones, Lord Philus, and the Dwarves have developed the Blackwater Strider into a strategic resource.
They are full of treasures, and the spiky toes are the finest arrows and nails that can pierce through most metals, and are incredibly strong. The long tongue is an elastic tool with excellent elasticity, and according to craftsmen, it is far more than cow tendons, not only to drive huge hammer handles and stone mills, but also to soften strong impacts and keep large instruments flexible and flexible......
In addition, the black water strider is covered with a hard black shell, but the meat under the shell is very delicious, comparable to the highest grade prawns. Because the crust is thick and hard, it is extra delicious when fried in oil. This is also the first recipe developed by the gourmand Mr. Nongtao, and it is especially memorable to me after eating it.
It is said that Mr. Nong Glutch went to the south because the black water strider in the western continent was completely caught...... If you meet him, please help him if you can.
That's right. I made a set of small things, a quill, and a cigarette ink, the quill was made from the feathers of a pacing bird, and the smoke ink was made of soot, carbon black, glue and tree oil, and the writing was clear and could be preserved for a long time. However, they are still being improved, and they also have many problems, the color is not uniform enough, the success rate of adjustment is low, and it is difficult to make them in large quantities."
At this time, the fish-man waiter in the restaurant brought a pottery plate.
"Mr. Pawa, here's the grilled oyster you ordered."
"Thank you."
The fish-man whispered, "Mr. Pawa, I am a fan of your books. Excuse me, how long will the next "Pawa's Bizarre Adventure" be announced? ”
"I remember you said five years ago that the next one was coming out, and you said the same thing three years ago......"
Pava muttered, "Soon, soon." ”
Can I be blamed for the delay?
The blood-thirsty "Dragon's Nest" was written, and as a result, the dragon's nest became a super ranch and a farmer's market, and the dragon's nest, which originally represented the apex of adventure, became a secular apex.
The ice trolls that carry earthworms in boxes and feed their livestock with all kinds of grain in the pasture suddenly become unoppressive......
This caused the first draft to be invalidated, leaving Pava to self-indulge for quite some time.
He finally got upbeat and turned to writing the first draft of "Heroes".
It includes the heroes of this era who have been passed down by everyone: the copper sea that destroyed the slavery system, the salt of the sun that challenged the limits of human cultivation, the blast furnace strange people adventure group, Fabiani who dug up earthworms to display the old gods and entered the museum, the rain hunt that brewed the latest transcendent liquor [blast furnace mead], the medicine spoon prophet who developed the potion [narcotic juice] and [sleeping potion] and the cupy Roll, and the genius prophet Shi Bao who opened the [Ghost Tower......
There are constantly heroes emerging, making Pava write longer and longer.
As a result, when he and the dwarves were gathering wind in the Valley of the Gods of the Eastern Continent, Pawa saw the holy and magnificent white roses, as well as the canopy city and busy squirrels not far away.
So Pava excitedly opened a new pit, called "Strange Things", which would record all kinds of strange creatures or objects that he had seen and heard.
As a result, before I could write two strokes, the white rose was gone.
In his place was a low-key apostle with a melancholy complexion, Master Pinkerman. White Rose also became his attendant. They started planting roses in the Valley of the Gods without even accepting visits.
Pawa was helpless.
He could only put down "Strange Things" for the time being, return to Saniro, and sort out "Heroes".
"That's great!" The fish-man waiter said this, but his face was full of suspicion.
Pawa could only pretend not to see it.
At this moment, a traveler with a bag walked in outside.
He took off his hat, revealing a somewhat maroon face and a beard that covered his chin.
"The carriage broke down halfway through, and I had bad luck today."
The visitor couldn't help but say, served the grilled oysters, and grabbed them with his hands to gobble them up.
Pawa didn't care, just smiled and said, "Fabiani, you are not young, and you are still exposed to the sun and rain all day long, can you bear it?" ”
The archaeologist on the other side grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth: "It's definitely not as comfortable as yours." I don't have a wife who is as rich as the country, and I have to rely on the subsidy of the Yancheng Council. ”
"But I've also trained some apprentices in the last few years, and now I finally have more archaeologists. Compared with the past, everyone's enthusiasm for history is much higher...... Although many of them want to dig up the treasures of the past. ”
"My apprentices and I restored the statue of the god of loose shoes and put it in the old god showroom, which is too difficult...... Fortunately, there is a pine crawler prophet to help, otherwise there is no way to start. ”
"Tell me about you, I'm all talking about it alone. How's the draft? ”
Pawa spread his hands: "Can you not talk about work?" ”
"What are you talking about if you don't talk about work?"
"Let's talk about this today."
Pawa pointed ahead.
The fish-man waiter cautiously came over with a plate and lifted the lid to reveal the steaming meal inside. On the plate was a crab-like creature coated in flour and fried until golden brown, except that it was only four-legged.
"This is the fried black water strider you ordered, and it is also the last one of our restaurant today, please eat it with the dipping sauce and sea salt next to it, I wish you a pleasant meal."
Fabiani's eyes straightened, and he said a little sourly, "It's good to be rich." I heard that this thing is very expensive, and the price continues to rise, and you have to pay a deposit in advance......"
"Let's eat it first, otherwise the flavor will be greatly reduced when it gets cold."
Pawa uses a knife to slice open the fried crispy monster feast, revealing the tender, elastic flesh inside.
"Thank you for the gift of God Yao."
Both prayed softly, and then began to eat the dipping sauce with their hands.
"Actually, recently I found a deep cave in the mountains, and deep underground, there is an ancient troglodyte tribe. They are said to have been the remnants of the Rose Kingdom...... There are still some words and customs that I have been doing recently. ”
"If true, that's big news." Pawa came to the spirit: "Need help?" ”
"You'll go with me another day."
……
Having eaten and drunk, Fabiani took his leave and left.
Amazingly, he and Pawa first met because of their collections, but they have remained in close contact and gradually become close friends. Both parties have a strong desire to learn, as well as the enthusiasm and dedication to their hobbies.
Many times, Fabiani was short of money and turned to Pawa for help. The latter is also never stingy and always gives generously.
Fabiani couldn't help but think.
On that afternoon of deciding on the future, Yao Shen gave himself freedom and choice, allowing his narrow vision and mind to truly open up for the first time and re-realize what he wanted to do.
This is the kindness and tolerance of the gods.
He touched his clothes.
The bag was still hot, so I wrapped some fried black water striders in straw paper and brought them back to the apprentices to taste.
Archaeologists live in poverty and work in the field, and they cannot afford to eat this luxury food on subsidies.
With this, I hope the children will be a little happier today.
Fabiani couldn't help but smile and quickened his pace towards the inn.
