Beyond the forest, the plains stretch as far as the eye can see, with patches of green grass growing and occasional hills protruding, one after another, which looks quite beautiful in the sun.

But it has always been uninhabited.

Earlier, the warm-hearted squirrel had pointed Andy in the right direction, and then said that he would not leave the forest boundary.

Andy was left on his own.

As a result, it took almost three hours to walk.

In the middle, except for a meal back to reality, he was all on the road, but he didn't see anything.

This can't help but make Andy wonder if the squirrel is pointing at him in order to get rid of him?

"Or that's what to do today?"

The thought was already in his mind.

But before his thoughts could be turned into action, he crossed a hilly area and saw a hazy mountain range at the end of his vision.

Seeing this, Andy's pace quickened.

As we get closer, the mountain range gradually becomes clearer, and after a certain distance, you can faintly see that in a certain section of the mountain, there is a majestic castle!

and, row upon row, the neatly arranged tent barracks.

The barracks were set up around the castle, and many soldiers in armor could be seen active in it, making fires, repairing equipment, and transporting supplies.

Occasionally, armed knights in full armor can be seen riding away from the surrounding area, not knowing where to go.

"Is this a simulation of war with a palace of myths?"

"Hmm...... Battle of Baroric in 1022? ”

The flags fluttering in the camp clearly displayed the family crests of many nobles, so Andy could recognize this information after a little look.

So he had some understanding of the crown prince's own personality and hobbies.

The so-called Battle of Barorric is actually not very remarkable in military affairs, nor does it involve a struggle on an extraordinary level.

But the other party was actually interested in this, and carefully consulted a large number of materials, and reproduced the entire battlefield......

It must be extremely careful, otherwise everything in the battlefield would not be so restored.

Of course, it is possible that the servant helped to do this, but even so, it can be glimpsed that he values it.

"Is it to study why the castle has been able to hold out for so long under a long siege?"

Andy even guessed more.

Just as he was about to step towards the barracks, he suddenly found that at this time, an old man on crutches appeared silently beside him!

The old man had long hair like snow, sharp eyes, and was dressed in a gray linen robe, like a great sage from the Middle Ages.

"What do you think about this war?"

Seeing Andy turn his head, the other party opened his mouth to ask, seemingly without introducing himself at all, or asking who Andy was.

"A simple and crude siege of the city, no opinion." Andy replied.

There are many similarities between the palace of myths and dreams, including the ability to freely transform images.

So an old man is not necessarily an old man.

But after a little glance at the other party, Andy could see that this was not the crown prince himself, but probably an "NPC" servant created by the crown prince here.

Why did he suddenly appear next to him, Andy is not sure.

Maybe it's his own existence that has attracted the attention of the other party, or maybe the other party itself is focusing on this simulated war.

"Simple and crude?"

The old man frowned when he heard this, "Although the castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the internal food was burned by traitors, and it should have surrendered due to lack of food in about ten days, but it held out for three months under the siege of the army - this thing is very abnormal, but you think it is simple and rude?" ”

"Because, in reality, the castle is not short of food." Andy said.

"Ridiculous, what do they eat if there is no shortage of food? Cannibalism? ”

"Well, that's fine, but not exactly."

When he said this, Andy's expression was a little strange.

"What do you mean?"

When the old man heard this, his brows tightened.

If you eat people, you will eat people, if you don't eat people, you won't eat people, what does it mean not to eat people completely?

Besides, they have long ruled out the possibility of cannibalism, and the historical data is not to mention it, if it is really cannibalistic, the defenders will not be able to hold out for three months.

The castle wasn't a town after all, it was a military fortress, and most of it was filled with soldiers.

Seeing that his former comrades-in-arms were brought to the table, any elite army would go crazy, and then kill the commander and surrender in Kaesong.

This is the conclusion that has been simulated countless times.

But he was wrong.

Andy is not referring to this form of cannibalism.

"Did you know that in that castle there was something called Yaraka, which was kept a lot by the defenders?"

He asked instead.

"Yaraka?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately said, "A highly poisonous root-like plant that grows fast, but it can't be eaten at all. ”

They've tried it too.

Or rather, everything in the castle, including the dirt, they tried to simulate soldiers to eat.

None of the results worked.

"Many of the spices we see every day are actually poisonous."

Andy said, "Why do they work and taste better when added to food?" ”

"It's about basic cooking principles." The old man replied: "Dilute the poisonous spices, and it will naturally be non-toxic." ”

"Here's the problem." Andy nodded, "Yaraka needs to be diluted before it can be processed into food. ”

"How to dilute?"

"Dry and crush, soak into a paste."

"Impossible."

The old man snorted coldly, already convinced that Andy was talking nonsense.

"We have also tried drying, and we have also used a variety of solvents that may exist in the castle to deal with it, water, wine, oil, vinegar, we have basically tried it, and the toxins in it cannot be diluted at all!"

"Have you ever tried urine?"

“……？”

"I suggest you give it a try."

Andy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you'll know why I said this battle was simple and crude." ”

The old man didn't speak, but his expression was full of disbelief.

Because the answer is so, just kidding.

However, this matter is in the palace of myths, and it is easy to verify.

So the old man looked at Andy as if warning, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Then, within ten minutes, he reappeared.

Looking at Andy, the expression of the old man dressed in retro became quite complicated, and there was a little bit of weirdness in it.

Because this method actually works!

To be honest, the Battle of Barorrik haunted them for many years.

This is not to say that the battle was of any importance, but that their masters were curious about what the people in the castle were eating.

However, because the battle took place in such a long time ago, many materials are missing, and it is impossible to get answers from books.

So the simulation of this battle began.

This unfolding has never ended.

Until now......

"How do you know?" He couldn't help but ask.

When the answer came out, everything seemed really simple and crude, and there was nothing complicated about it.

But......

Normal people, who would have thought of taking advantage of that kind of thing?
