Chapter 27: A Different World Without Rice Is Incomplete

The camp for the evening was chosen next to a small stream.

Most of the monsters that stayed here to rest were driven away by the aura of elemental power that erupted from the dragon hunting mercenary group.

It was said that it was an explosion of elemental power, but in Lu Xi's opinion, it was actually Clyde's whole body that suddenly trembled, and then it seemed that a wind was blowing in his face, and then the group of monsters ran away.

Just, it looks pretty funny.

Of course, in Clyde's eyes, it was a different story.

The elements can be divided into three forms, the first is the form that makes up all things in daily life and is invisible to the human eye, just like air.

The second form is to extract and collect elements with a specific attribute separately, and in this state, the corresponding element will show the color of the corresponding attribute in the form, a bit like a transparent smoke with color.

The third form is the convergence of a large number of elements with the same attributes to produce a qualitative change, from an untouchable air form to a physical form that actually exists.

As an ordinary person who couldn't sense elemental power, before Clyde transformed the elemental power into a form visible to the naked eye, all Lu Xi could feel was the air trembling caused by the fluctuation of elemental power.

Physically, it's a bit like the wind blowing.

The stream that Clyde chose to stop was not big, and most of the people who stayed were ordinary monsters, and even low-level monsters couldn't see a few, so Clyde didn't burst out too strong with elemental power.

Before scaring all the monsters away, Clyde reached out and grabbed a few of them, which served as ingredients for the next few days.

Although there are monsters everywhere, it is not always possible to meet suitable ones that can be used as ingredients every day, for example, Lu Xi encountered it once before, and there was a dragon flying over the route that left a breath, and no monster dared to appear for several days.

Many times without using a dragon, even if it is just a mid-level monster, it will cause a riot between a group of low-level monsters and ordinary monsters, and this is how the monster tide happens.

Intermediate monsters who live in a certain place will leave their place of residence and go to other places for various reasons, which will lead to a wave of monsters along the way.

Therefore, dragon hunting mercenary groups often store prey that can be eaten for a long time in contract packages to prevent all kinds of accidents from happening.

After figuring out the reason for the upset, several people from the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group did not blame Lu Xi anymore, after all, Lu Xi didn't mean it, she just didn't expect that such a group of people couldn't even eat spicy.

The other is that the boiled mutton is so delicious that no one is willing to blame Lu Xi for this.

In fact, after such an incident, the speed of the journey was not much slower, after all, the dragon hunting mercenary group as a whole followed Lu Xi's rhythm.

It is impossible for Lu Xi to walk fast, and the others have undergone various tests, and their physical strength is much stronger, and they recover quickly, so when they stopped to rest at night, they did not fall much distance from what they expected.

"Miss Lucy! I'm here to help you set up your tent. Dina's face was still a little pale, but she was much better, still full of enthusiasm and energy.

Miguel held a handful of cloth and reluctantly followed Dina.

"How?" Lu Xi looked left and right, except for a handful of cloth in Miguel's arms, he didn't see any other tools.

"Hey, look at me." Dina smiled, didn't answer Lu Xi directly, picked a good place, took out a few plant seeds in her hand, and threw them on the ground.

As soon as the seeds touched the ground, they suddenly sprouted and took root, growing rapidly, and several arm-thick emerald green vines intertwined with each other, and finally gathered at the top, blooming beautiful little flowers.

Lu Xi looked at the conical "vine tent" with a diameter of more than two meters in front of him, and his eyes widened in shock.

In one of the corners of the vine tent, Dina controlled the size of a door that was set aside to facilitate entry and exit, and Miguel, who was holding a pile of fabric, stepped forward at this time, shook off the fabric in his arms, and hung it on the door of the vine tent with great skill, acting as the tent door.

Lu Xi stretched out his hand and touched the fabric, it was very thick and smooth, with a certain weight, much like a rainproof cloth on the earth, it was also suitable for using it as a tent door, it could be rainproof when it rained, and because it had enough weight, it would not be easily blown up by the wind.

It can only be said that the mercenaries who can live in the wild have more or less first-hand strength.

Of course, Lu Xi was actually more curious about Dina's elemental magic, according to what she saw in those two fairy tale books and storybooks, there should only be four elements that make up this world: earth, water, fire, and wind, and the elemental magic used by Dina is not among these four.

wanted to know, so Lu Xi asked, although it was possible to expose some of her ignorance, but as long as Lu Xi himself did not tell her exact origin, these people would not suspect going there.

Since this transaction was confirmed, Lu Xi's identity has no need to be doubted.

And it doesn't mean that being a nobleman is necessarily omniscient, and sometimes it is precisely because you are an aristocrat that you are ignorant.

Sure enough, Dina didn't doubt Lu Xi, but naturally explained to Lu Xi, "Hahaha, I know that many people will be curious, I'm actually a mutant elemental mage." ”

Seeing Lu Xi's increasingly blank eyes, Dina simply explained.

In the final analysis, the emergence of mutant elements can be traced back to the first civil strife after the establishment of the four elemental kingdoms.

The elemental contract, which was originally mastered by the four elemental kingdoms, was taken to other places because of the rebels who made trouble, and many people with bad intentions took the opportunity to imitate the elemental contract.

Some of the imitations that succeeded were based on this and established small countries outside the four elemental kingdoms, while the other part imitated the failed ones, removing those elemental contracts that were scrapped and unusable, and the rest had some mutations.

For example, the fire element has changed to the thunder element, the water element has become the ice element, and the earth element has become the wood element.

"What about the wind elemental?" Lu Xi was curious.

The one who answered Lu Xi was Miguel, who was an elemental warrior with a wind attribute, "The wind is lonely, the wind is not on the earth, the wind will not stay, so the wind has no partner." ”

Lu Xi: ?

"Poof." Dina couldn't help laughing, and pulled Lu Xi to explain, "In fact, the mutation element is somewhat touched with the power of other elements, such as the wood element, which is the combination of the earth element and the water element, resulting in a change. ”

"The wind and the other elements can't be fused together, so there are no mutated elements."

After Dina gave Miguel a branch, she whispered to Lu Xi, "Their wind element attributes are especially fond of being troubadours, and so is White, even Miguel." ”

"But White, he usually only says those things when he lied to girls. I've heard White say that the most famous phrase in Pavaragon, the land of the wind elementals, is, 'The wind sends a message from afar'. ”

Useless knowledge has increased, Lu Xi thought silently, and accompanied by Dina, he entered the vine tent.

What makes Lu Xi most satisfied is that the ground is also covered with a layer of vines, so there is no need to directly touch the wet ground.

Xiu Lan sent the luggage belonging to Lu Xi over, which was originally carried by Kagli, but because of the accident in the afternoon, Lu Xi's luggage could only be handed over to Xiu Lan and packed in his contract package.

Xiulan didn't need Dina to set up a tent for him, he brought his own oversized luxury tent, and it was not a problem to sleep four people in it, of course, only Kagli usually lived with him.

The body of the elemental mage is fragile, and Clyde has specially arranged a corresponding partner for each elemental mage, that is, to avoid any danger, and the elemental mage himself cannot fight.

There are three elemental mages in the team, White is a special one, he has not weak melee ability, and he doesn't need to fix which partner, I heard that he was trained according to the elemental warrior at first, but then he found out that he had the talent of an elemental mage, and he became what he is now.

The other two elemental mages Dina and Xiulan have basically fixed partners, Dina and Miguel are lovers, needless to say, among the three people, Hailin, Clyde, and Cagli are the ones who don't like to be bound the most, Clyde wants to lead the entire team, and there is only one Cagli left, and there is no room for Xiulan to choose.

Activities such as night vigils basically do not require a few elemental mages, but as an alternative, some chores in the team are indispensable to be done by elemental mages, such as cooking and washing dishes.

Although Xiulan doesn't do these chores and is all done by Kagli, he has money, and in terms of material, he provides an irreplaceable role for the entire team.

After delivering the luggage, Xiu Lan didn't leave in a hurry, she looked at Lu Xi very embarrassed, and the expectation in her eyes seemed to be about to materialize, "Miss Lucy, what do you want to eat tonight?" We still don't think we have a lot of goats to eat. ”

Xiulan's fanatical pursuit of spicy food surprised Lu Xi, she didn't expect that such a genuine aristocratic young master who didn't seem to touch the spring water would be so spicy.

But thinking about the tragedy that happened this afternoon, Lu Xi felt that he still had to make it light, let's nourish the stomach of these people, eat spicy, or cultivate it little by little, and slowly get used to it.

Without waiting for Lu Xi to speak, Dina had already held Lu Xi's hand very strongly, "Don't care about us, what is delicious, you can do anything, the stomach ache is just a small problem, I can still hold on!" ”

Lu Xi was moved by Dina's belief that she was not afraid of life and death in order to eat, and then politely refused her request, even if she kept eating spicy, she herself would not be able to stand it, this kind of thing, just eat it occasionally.

Just when he saw Xiulan, most of the things of the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group were in his contract package, so Lu Xi asked by the way, "By the way, I saw you come out directly with white bread before, did you bring flour?" ”

"Flour?" Xiulan shook her head, "There is no suitable oven on the road, and it is useless to carry flour. ”

Lu Xi showed a pity, he had never seen rice in another world, and only the flour used to make bread could be used to recall the oriental food on the earth.

Bread and steamed bread, in fact, the difference is not very big, you only need to change the cooking method, the bread is baked, and the steamed bread is steamed.

Therefore, the bread eaten by people from other worlds will be very hard and need to be heated and soaked in soup, while steamed bread is much softer...... It's actually very hard after a long time.

However, steamed buns are indeed much softer than bread.

Another difference is that when making steamed bread, it generally does not put other things, but when baking bread, milk, honey, butter and other things are added to it, so when eating, the bread will have more sweetness, and the steamed bread only has the taste of starch itself.

"What else can flour be used for? Is it okay not to use an oven? Dina was curious.

"Steamed buns and cakes, among which the cakes can be made into dead dough cakes and dough cakes, oil cakes can also be made, and meat pies and vegetable pies can also be made, which are most suitable for soup, and the taste of white bread is still not right." Lu Xi shook his head and sighed.

A life that has not eaten steaming white flour steamed buns just out of the pot is an incomplete life!

Woo woo, she really wants to eat rice, why don't people from another world grow rice to eat, people from other worlds who don't understand the beauty of rice hurry up and say goodbye!

Dina and Shuran glanced at each other and immediately decided what to do next - find Clyde, and when the next human town is nearby, go buy flour and come back!

Xiao Yuan and the young dragon were playing in the water and bathing on the side of the stream, and Lu Xi cleaned up the entire vine tent by the way, spread the straw mat and rabbit blanket in turn, and then took out a new quilt that Aunt Asuna had re-sewn.

This vine tent is very large, with a height of more than two meters, probably because Dina took into account the existence of the young dragon and deliberately built it a little bigger.

After packing up his things, Lu Xi walked out of the tent, and the tents of the other people next to him were also set up, and a fire was raised in the middle of several tents, where Kagli was setting up a pot, and all kinds of kitchen utensils and ingredients were placed on the ground, waiting for Lu Xi to arrive.

Considering that he wanted to nourish the stomach of the people of the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group, Lu Xi picked out some vegetables and prepared to make a pot of vegetable soup, the kind that did not put a little meat, among which it was like a carrot, a purple vegetable with a purple body, which was the main body of the vegetable soup, and under the background of other crispy vegetables, the purple radish was stewed extremely soft and glutinous.

Lu Xi didn't move the head and internal organs of the Dishi sheep, shaved off all the lamb legs, let the kagli chop into extremely fine and viscous meat foam, add salt, sugar, soy sauce and other seasonings and stir evenly, and knead the mutton meatballs one by one.

Put it in the bone broth boiled with bones and cook it, and after all of it is taken out, Lu Xi divides half of it and pours oil and vegetables to stir-fry, and the other half is fried in oil.

The vegetable soup was too thick by Lu Xi to be eaten in bread, and the bone broth after boiling the mutton meatballs tasted delicious, and tearing the bread into it was completely another food.

Xiulan even took out the hot sauce that Lu Xi made at noon, mixed it into a bowl, and added the spicy sauce manually.

Everyone looked at the several foods in front of them, swallowed their saliva, and the spoon in their hands didn't know which one to eat first, which one looked so delicious.

"Is this really food I can enjoy?" Dina held the bowl and almost fainted with happiness.
