Ignoring Luo He's complaints, the Grim Reaper stood quietly on the deck, indifferently putting Luo He aside.

On her beautiful pale cheeks, her eyes were as empty as a black hole, and in the deepest part of that black hole, there seemed to be a layer of depression and melancholy.

In silence, the ship of the dead sailed on the cold and dark seas, not knowing where it was heading.

Luo He looked at the black-robed back of the god of death, felt the need to break this unbearable silence, coughed dryly, and said, "Senior, can I ask you a question?" ”

Death is noncommittal.

Luo He said rashly: "I want to know, didn't I sleep well in bed just now, why did I come to the spirit world again?" ”

"In words you can understand, it's an out-of-body experience."

The Grim Reaper spoke slowly, "Since I said it, there must be a way to find you, or let you come to see me. ”

Luo He said cautiously: "Then I'...... Can I go back? ”

"It's up to you to behave."

The river of the spirit world rushed in darkness, the sound was like a hissing cauldron, and under the river there was a double purgatory of heat and cold.

As soon as he thought of this, Luo He felt a chill down his spine, forcibly calmed himself, and asked:

"And where are we going now?"

"Hunting ingredients."

"Huh?"

When Luo He was at a loss, the Shroud sail descended automatically.

The nail boat sails into a wider ocean, undulating with the waves on the dark sea.

In the distance, a heavy fog hits, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Death lifted a withered yellow oil lamp in the bow of the ship, its soft glow the only source of light on the sea, incompatible with the treacherous fog.

"Come closer to me."

Luo He followed the instructions of the Grim Reaper, and felt a sense of security as he approached her with the light.

The next moment.

In the fog, Luo He saw a huge, tentacle-like strange creature.

The creature was about more than ten meters long, resembling a sea snake, with a smooth upper body sticking out of the sea, but its head was an open suction cup mouthpiece, and inside the suction cup was a razor-like, dense number of teeth.

Luo He was stunned for a moment, not only did he not feel afraid, but his voice was a little surprised:

"Such a big lamprey?"

Lamprey, a prehistoric creature that looks like an alien sea monster, the photo is not recommended for everyone to search.

Before the appearance of dinosaurs, they had been on Earth for hundreds of millions of years and were called "living fossils".

Its appearance is very curious, and it will use a suction cup full of fangs to adsorb on the body of other fish, suck its flesh, parasitism and even break into the body, so it is also known as vampire fish, zombie fish and so on.

Although the appearance and habits are terrifying, the lamprey is particularly delicious, and the taste is even more delicious than ordinary eel, and it was once regarded as a special delicacy for the royal family.

Because it can be eaten and delicious, this guy looks curious, and Luo He doesn't mind making it into a delicious dish.

In line with the concept of 'Sushi for Everything'.

It seems that it is not impossible to make sushi after roasting this sea monster......

"Lamprey, the evolutionary form of the sand recluse insect, has been contracted by humans since ancient times."

The Grim Reaper looked at the eel sea monster that was more than ten meters long, and said softly:

"It also survives in the River Styx, and it's rumored to be delicious, but I really don't have an appetite for it."

The implication is already very obvious.

"Lamprey does taste good, but it also needs to be cooked by a professional chef—"

Luo He patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, you are responsible for getting this lamprey done, and I will be responsible for serving you a feast full of color and flavor!"

The Grim Reaper raised his melancholy gaze and quietly examined Luo He.

The huge sea monster was cruising the sea in the fog behind the two of them, and the god of death stretched out his palm towards Luo He and said calmly:

"Give me the knife."

Luo He was stunned, and hurriedly took out the table knife from the jade pendant and handed it to the palm of the god of death.

The gaze of the god of death swept over the jade pendant on Luo He's waist and said:

"Next time, prepare a separate storage space for the knife."

Why is that? Isn't this tableware compatible with legendary kitchenware?

Luo He was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he nodded first and agreed.

She put down the oil lamp, held the knife in her hand, and the high boots under her robe gently tread the ground, and walked gracefully to the bow at the end of the deck.

In the fog, the huge prehistoric creature seemed to notice the Grim Reaper, retracted its hideous suckers, and turned to escape to the bottom of the sea.

But it was too late.

Luo He saw that she raised the table knife in her hand.

A gentle stroke towards the giant lamprey on the surface of the sea is like slicing open the eel in a lunch box.

The next moment, the huge lamprey was cut into two parts.

Rumble!

The sea is full of waves.

Behind the Grim Reaper, the black mist that obscured the sky formed two large, disembodied hands, grabbed the lamprey on the sea, and threw it onto the deck of the nail boat.

Boom!

The deck shook faintly.

Luo He staggered, looked at the lampreys in front of him, who were almost as tall as himself, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"The ingredients are done." The Grim Reaper turned his head to look back and said lightly, "And then?" ”

Luo He looked at it for a moment and muttered:

"We don't need so many ingredients, just the essence is enough to make a lampray eel feast."

"Okay, I'll feed the three-headed dog with the rest." Death nodded.

Luo He: "......"

You're pretty good with the three-headed dog!

"Can I just collect the ingredients?" Luo He gestured towards the lamprey, "It should be no problem for me to get started directly, right?" ”

The creatures of the spirit world were strange, and Luo He felt that it was necessary to ask the Grim Reaper's opinion before collecting the ingredients.

"Use this knife."

The Grim Reaper handed the knife back again, revealing intentionally or unintentionally:

"Gathering ingredients is also one of the abilities of this knife."

After listening, Luo He felt that the knife in his hand was becoming more and more mysterious.

Luo He held the knife steadily, with a superb technique, and while collecting the most essential ingredients of the lamprey, he asked:

"Senior, does this table knife have its own name?"

The Grim Reaper was silent for a long time, leaned over and picked up Xiugou, rubbed its head, and said calmly:

"A long time ago, you Orientals gave it an oriental name...... [gluttony]."

Luo He was slightly stunned.

Gourmand?

It is indeed one of the four fierce beasts of Donghuang in ancient times.

But the shape of this table knife is a very typical Western-style tableware, and the name gluttony feels a little subtle.

"Should it still have a Western name?"

Luo He asked.

The Grim Reaper hugged Xiugou, slowly stroked the plush dog's head, skipped the topic lightly, and said:

"Instead of asking people with questions, you should ask me, at least it won't anger me......"

Luo He was a little embarrassed.

Knowing the words of the god of death, he was asking Bai Ze's predecessors about the news in Yin and Yang himself.

Anyway, at least I learned that the name of the Grim Reaper's table knife was [gluttony]. Regardless of whether it is a real name or not, it is still an important piece of information.

"Then does this [gluttony] have any other abilities?"

The Grim Reaper did not answer, and said indifferently:

"After collecting the ingredients, go back to my palace and prepare the dinner."

"Before dawn, if you can satisfy me, you will wake up before sunrise." The Grim Reaper gave a death command: "Otherwise, I will sleep here forever and be my manservant." ”

"I'm going to be a chef too, the manservant is inevitably condescending." Luo He said casually.

The Grim Reaper looked at Luo He in silence and said, "You don't seem to be afraid of me." ”

Luo He complained in his heart.

You're wearing boots after all......

"These boots are meant to walk across a river of sharp knives."

The Grim Reaper said incomprehensibly, "Also, you don't want to know what is under the cloth, whether it's firewood, flies, or rotting flesh. ”

Legend has it that half of Hela's body is beautiful, and half of her body is rotten and hideous.

Her palace is 'miserable', her table knife is 'gluttony', her manservant 'sluggish', her bedroom 'ruin', and her bed 'sorrow'......

Luo He felt that the god of death in front of him had many similarities with the goddess of death in the myth of his previous life.

But he is not qualified to judge her, let alone express 'sympathy' for her.

"Let's eat first."

Luo He changed the topic and said, "You just said, where are you going to cook?" ”

The Grim Reaper was silent and motioned for Luo He to look in the direction of the bow of the ship.

Before you know it, the ship of the dead has sailed to a calm harbor.

There is a crystal bridge at the harbor, and on the opposite side of the crystal bridge is a palace shrouded in black fog.

Luo He disembarked and walked into her palace with the Grim Reaper.

The air in the palace is as depressed, low, and oppressive as the Grim Reaper himself, and the décor is dominated by black, gold, and red.

The restaurant is particularly luxurious, with long tables filled with extravagant tableware that is rarely seen in the human world.

"The kitchen is there."

The Grim Reaper sat down at one end of the long dining table and motioned for Luo He to take a please.

Luo He called out Xiao Jiu and walked to the kitchen, but was stopped by death again. She leaned over and rubbed Xiao Jiu before letting go.

Inside the kitchen.

Luo He fell into a deep groan, thinking about today's dish.

The ingredients are taken from the essence of the giant lamprey, and the special feature of today's feast is the 'lamprey feast'.

In Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo, a famous French dish is recorded, made with Bordeaux red wine and lamprey.

The practice of the small day is to treat it as eel, and the kabayaki and lamprey rice are delicious.

The "food desert" British approach is very dark, and directly makes the whole sea monster-like lamprey into a pie, which is still a royal dish......

If there really is a dark culinary world, it must be based on the United Kingdom!

Luo He coughed lightly, put away his thoughts, and began to cook the lampreys with strange shapes.

Inside the restaurant.

In front of the Grim Reaper, napkins, plates, silver knives and forks were placed, and his eyes were cast to the kitchen from time to time.

Another half hour passed.

Luo He held the plate in his hand and began to serve.

The appetizer is a section of grizzled eel with eel liver consommé, followed by Bordeaux lamprey simmered in red wine, mushrooms, potatoes and green onions, and finished with a refreshing ice cream.

Faced with the thick flavor of the grilled eel skewers, the bloodless pale beauty hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the skewers and tasted them in small bites.

The taste in the mouth is mellow and delicate, sweet in the heart, and the layers are distinct.

The sauce sticks to her lips and elegantly wipes it off with a napkin to serve with a mouthful of consommé.

As she enjoyed the main dish, she held a spoon and fork in her hand, savoring the flavor of the rich red wine and seafood, and gently squinted her eyes.

The strange and hideous sea monster, after Luo He's cooking, seems to have been reborn.

This taste is no less than a miracle.

The dark spiritual realm can even taste such delicious food!

Death opened his eyes and exhaled slightly, a look of favor in his eyes.

But before meeting, another beautiful and delicate dessert was served.

The dessert is divided into four layers, jelly, cream, ice cream, and fruit and jam garnished on the ice cream.

Bright red strawberries, pink ice cream, jelly-like jam...... The Grim Reaper couldn't take his eyes off the dessert.

"Strawberry Parfait."

Luo He smiled: "It's today's dessert." ”

The Grim Reaper raised his gaze, the corners of his lips twitching imperceptibly, and he immediately held out a spoon towards Parfay.

She scooped a spoonful of ice cream, savored the sweetness, and said softly:

"It's still ...... I tasted human dessert for the first time. ”

"Really?" Luo He was surprised: "How do you feel?" ”

"Very good."

The Grim Reaper bowed his head slightly, and said lightly:

"Yesterday's events are not to blame in the past, and the next is not an example."

To get satisfactory reviews from diners, especially those as picky as the Grim Reaper, made Chef Luo very happy.

He took out three more gift boxes stacked on top of each other:

"This is a gift I prepared earlier, and I would like to ask you to help me bring it to Cerberus."

"What is this?"

"Three-headed dog's favorite honey cake." Luo He said with a smile.

Death thoughtfully, he reached out and took all three boxes of honey cakes, nodded and said:

"I'll pass it on to you."

Luo He: "...... You probably won't steal it, will you? ”

The Grim Reaper squinted coldly at Luo He.

"Ahem, when I didn't say it."

Luo He said: "By the way, senior, how can I go back?" ”

"After dawn, you will naturally wake up."

Death said calmly, "I'll give you a little hint again. ”

"What?"

"[gluttony] has the effect of removing toxins, curing diseases and saving people." Death Godway.

Luo He was surprised: "A table knife can still cure diseases?" ”

Is this a dinner knife or a scalpel?

The Grim Reaper was noncommittal, as if he had suddenly lost interest in Luo He, and waved his hand:

"There's nothing for you to do here anymore - I'll come back to you if necessary."

Call!

With the wave of death's hand, Luo He was surprised, and felt his body fly out violently.

Immediately, his eyes went black.

Consciousness gradually floated up, as if returning from the water to the surface.

Buzz –

The harsh sunlight shone into the house.

Outside the window, there was the sound of birdsong.

Luo He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky:

"Strange ceiling...... It's weird. ”

He rolled over and got up, rubbed his sore neck, looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, and muttered:

"Luckily, I'm back!"

The spirit world I dreamed of last night was definitely not a simple dream.

It was because the Grim Reaper was very satisfied with his food that he was able to return.

Of course, I also gained extremely important information.

The Grim Reaper's knife is suspected to be [gluttony], and it has the effect of dispelling diseases and saving diseases......

I don't have time to think about it.

There was a shouting from outside the house:

"Squeak!!" (Luohe, you come quickly!!) ）

Luo He rushed outside the house and saw chipmunks standing on the fence, their faces full of shock.

Outside the courtyard, a deafening roar of machinery was heard.

Boom Boom Boom!!

Pushing open the door, Luo He looked at it fixedly, and was also stunned.

In the distance, a yellow-painted excavator approached.

In the cab, there was a white-haired beauty with different eyes, excited as if she had found a new toy.

"Luo He." Bai Ze greeted, "I went to do my homework on machinery!" ”

When she was drinking yesterday, Bai Ze didn't know much about Zero, and she seemed to be haunted by this.

But......

Luo He's face was strange.

That's why you drove an excavator to my house?!

……

Tonight at 12 o'clock, the new book "The King of the Royal Beasts" will be on the shelves, everyone remember to support it!!
