The morning sun shone on the rest camp like a hazy veil, and everything shone with a shallow light.

Lu Xi lifted the tent curtain and walked out with his waist stretched, followed by two small tails on the left and right, and he also stretched his waist as follows.

At this time, it was not half past five, and it was only six hours since Lu Xi fell asleep last night, which was far less than the normal eight hours of sleep, but Lu Xi was already very refreshed when he woke up.

It seems that since the crossing, she has used less than eight hours of sleep, and a simple sleep of four or five hours can be full of energy for a whole day.

The fire was still burning, but after the night, the flames looked a little "decadent", far less vigorous than last night.

Hailin sat bored in front of the fire, occasionally throwing two pieces of wood into it, keeping the fire unextinguished, hearing the sound, turning her head to see Lu Xi's figure, a little surprised, I didn't expect Lu Xi to get up so early.

Lu Xi beckoned to say hello, walked to the creek to catch water, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and finally dipped in water to comb his hair neatly, shining on the sparkling water, and turned sideways to braid his waist-length hair into a long braid.

It is not a simple twist braid that is common, but a fancy twist braid that is braided from one side and mixed with a hair-tied scarf in the middle, like lace on the top of the head.

After all, Lu Xi's hair is too long, and he braid a twist braid hanging down his back vertically, as if he brought a whip and threw it around, and it was not very convenient to do anything.

Lu Xi also thought about cutting her hair short, such long hair was too much of a hindrance, but I don't know if it was because of her golden finger, she recognized her hair as a part of her body, and every time she cut it short, after it was refreshed at four o'clock in the morning, her hair would return to its original length.

If Lu Xi was locked to the tower like Rapunzel, maybe Lu Xi could cut off his hair every day, then tie it up little by little, and finally use his hair as a rope to climb down.

Xiao Yuan did the same, squatting next to Lu Xi, lowering his head and licking his hair obediently, and the silver gray hair was licked more smoothly by it.

The young dragon looked left and right, looking dazed, it didn't have the beautiful long black hair like Lu Xi, and it didn't have smooth and soft hair on its body, and it was covered in scales as hard as iron, and it would hurt to lick it.

When Clyde stepped out of the tent, the first thing she saw was such an interesting sight, and Helen greeted Clyde, "Good morning, Boss." ”

Lu Xi was just finishing combing his hair, when he heard a voice behind him, he looked back and saw Clyde walking out of the tent, and nodded at Clyde with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.

Maybe the light is too coincidental, or maybe the sun is just right, the smile that Lu Xi turned around seemed to be radiating, which made Clyde who saw this scene slightly stunned.

"It's pretty, Miss Lucy."

Clyde turned his head to look at White who was exclamating beside him, the attribute of the wind element made White move more lightly and silently, and even Clyde couldn't easily sense White without defense.

Clyde was silent, turned and walked away, White chased after two steps, and refused to let Clyde go, "Why, boss, don't you think Miss Lucy is beautiful?" Aren't you very excited? ”

"Although it is not possible to marry a noble lady, it is also very good to be the lover of a noble lady, that is a noble lady with her own farm, boss, don't you really want to try?" White winked his eyebrows.

For the aristocracy, love is really a very useless thing, and they care more about how the person who inherits the family name forms a "family" with the person who inherits another name than with the person who likes it for a lifetime.

As for the person I like...... But no one forced you to separate from him, it's just that you have lost that suitable "name", and you can still live a "happy life" together for a lifetime, although usually you may not be able to last until the end.

Therefore, some young, strong and energetic young mercenaries will have some "love stories" with some noble ladies, and then after that aristocratic lady becomes a noble lady, they will become their "mistress", which may be the only one or one of them.

But in short, the treatment is good, even if the relationship can only be maintained for a few years, it is enough to get a lifetime of money without worrying about food and clothing, and the vast majority of mercenaries will not refuse such an "errand", and can perfectly maintain the moral character of a "lover".

Except for those who are truly moved.

White likes to coax all kinds of girls, but he never touches those noble ladies or ladies, from the former, he can get the simplest and sincere response from those girls, and the latter, he can only be regarded as a "plaything" to make people happy.

Of course Clyde wouldn't be tempted, or rather, he certainly wouldn't be so tempted.

But when you see something beautiful, it's also a matter of course to stop and admire it.

"What, you want to go with me to 'convenience'?" Clyde turned his head to look at White, and the guy went all the way and said without stopping at all, more annoying than a buzzing bug.

"No......" White looked farther and farther away from the camp, and finally reacted, his mouth paused, and just as he was about to stop, Clyde had unceremoniously wrapped his arms around his neck.

"You're welcome, together." Clyde smirked.

"Wait, boss! No! Wait! Top dog! The voice faded away.

Lu Xi was far away, and he didn't know what the two figures were talking about, but he saw the two of them getting closer and closer, and finally left with their shoulders hooked up, and he didn't care too much, returned to the tent to pack up his things, and began to prepare breakfast.

Miguel was the first to come out, and Dina was still sleeping in the tent, so she didn't need Lu Xi to open her mouth, so she consciously came over to help deal with all kinds of ingredients.

Mainly because of the two buckets of small fish that Xiao Yuan and the young dragon caught last night, Lu Xi didn't expect that the two of them would catch two buckets.

Small fish do not need to remove the scales, but the internal organs have to be dug out, although Lu Xi is going to fry them in oil to make fried small dried fish, even if the whole small fish is fried in the pot, there is no problem.

But the difference between the presence and absence of fish viscera is quite big, especially the bitter gall in the guts of small fish, which affects the taste too much.

It takes a long time to deal with Lu Xi, but for Miguel, this work is not very laborious, with the bonus of the wind element, he moves his hands, much more brisk and dexterous than Kagli, Lu Xi thought that he saw the assembly line machine at work for a while.

Hailin didn't sit on the side and watched, she started to help together, her weapon was a short knife, she was more used to using short weapons, and her own level was higher than Miguel's, and her speed was faster than Miguel's.

Lu Xi watched the two of them compete, and it didn't take long for him to dispose of more than two buckets of small fish.

Under the use of Lu Xi's lavishness, the meat oil brought by Xiulan is only a little bottom, which is enough for cooking, and it is really not enough to fry two large barrels of small fish.

However, it is not very difficult to extract oil, and there are a few monsters that I caught by the creek yesterday, which look like some kind of enlarged version of a very fat vole, with meat and oily at first glance.

Ask Miguel to skin and bone this monster called a sand gopher, cut it into pieces of meat of the right size, add a little water to the pot, and put it in over low heat to boil.

Lu Xi lowered his head and processed these small fish again, took out cooking wine and other materials, and marinated all these small fish.

When these things were done, Dina, who was bedridden, and Xiulan, who was the last to get up, also got up and freshened up.

Dina turned over the pot, looked at a large piece of pure white fat and a layer of oil inside, and looked at Lu Xi with a confused expression, "Miss Lucy, is this today's breakfast?" ”

"I'll have to wait for breakfast, there's no more milk, I'll get some out." Lu Xi gently pressed the meat with a shovel, and as she expected, this monster called a sand gopher had a lot of oil on its body, and the oil yield was also very high.

In fact, it is a more authentic method of oil extraction without adding water, but after adding water, the color will be whiter and better looking after the oil is cured.

"Is that what oil milk does? Is it that simple? Hearing this, Xiu Lan also came over curiously, with a thoughtful look on her face.

"But I heard from the servants of the house that refining oil milk seems to be a very troublesome thing."

"It's like you have to keep roasting it over the fire, and then catch it when the oil drips down, and you don't let the fire burn the meat." Xiu Lan recalled the scene she saw at that time, and compared with Lu Xi's simple method now, it was like the gap between a beggar and a nobleman.

However, this can't be blamed on the people of the world, because in the other world, the hunting of monsters is relatively more difficult than on the earth, so the meat of the prey is also more precious and rare.

No one is willing to slowly roast a large piece of edible meat into jerky over a fire and squeeze out all the fat - it is also important to have good quality and suitable kitchen utensils, which most commoners do not have in their homes.

Don't think it's easy to have a metal pot, especially from another world.

Secondly, if the fire is large, the meat will be mushy, and if you want to produce oil, you can only use a small fire to burn it slowly, but for ordinary civilians, firewood is also a very important resource and cannot be wasted so much.

I don't know how the nobles found out that meat oil is edible and tastes good, but they definitely won't think about how to refine meat oil better, anyway, they don't have to make a little effort if they have servants to do it for them.

So the commoners who were refining the oil milk could only obey the arrangement of the nobles, holding the pieces of meat to roast in front of the fire, and quickly catching them when the fat dripped off...... Being scalded and burned is an extremely common thing.

And because it is roasted directly in the fire, a lot of fat evaporates, and it is good that one-tenth of the meat oil that can be refined can be refined, and it is not surprising that Xiu Lan said that meat oil is a very expensive food.

Lu Xi didn't express any opinions, just scooped up the oil residue that had squeezed out the grease one by one and put it on the plate, and sprinkled some salt on it, although this thing was dry, it tasted very fragrant.

For the first time, Xiu Lan didn't pay attention to the food on the plate, but stared at a whole pot of meat oil and was stunned, "These are all oil milks?" So much? ”

Lu Xi nodded, and then explained, "In fact, the choice of monsters is also very important in refining oil milk, some monsters are very suitable for oil extraction, and some monsters themselves have no oil, and they can't be squeezed out." ”

No, Xiulan's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything, this is not a monster's problem at all.

"Oh, try it, don't think about it, this thing is delicious!" Dina grabbed a piece of oil residue and quickly stuffed it into Xiulan's mouth.

Xiulan subconsciously took a bite, and unexpectedly, although the oil residue was dry, it was not hard, and when it was eaten in his mouth, it quickly dissolved.

That's right, it just melts, just like the taste of the cured white oil milk melting in the mouth, but it is not so greasy, and the purest meat aroma explodes in the mouth.

Xiu Lan couldn't think about those messy things all of a sudden, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the ...... on the plate A plate of oil residue did not last even a few minutes before it became an empty plate.

Lu Xi packed up more than half of the meat oil and waited for it to solidify, leaving a small half of the meat oil in the pot, and directly began to fry the small dried fish, the marinated dried fish itself has a taste, and there is no need to add any other seasonings.

After frying more than two buckets of small dried fish, Lu Xi was also a little tired, and he was too lazy to get anything fresh to eat, so he made the vegetable soup he made yesterday again, but this time he added more soup and put less vegetables.

After frying the dried fish, there was still a lot of oil left, so Lu Xi cut the white bread into slices, fried some bread slices by the way, and changed the staple food to eat.

Everyone in the Dragon Hunter Mercenary Group looked at Lu Xi and deeply felt that this mission was no longer an "escort", but a food trip.

After the meal, everyone began to pack their luggage, Dina snapped her fingers, and several vine tents on the ground disappeared in an instant, turning back into their original seeds.

Lu Xi was a little curious, "If you don't take back the elemental power in it, will these vines always exist?" ”

Dina was stunned by the question, and thought about it carefully, "Probably not." ”

Elemental magic ...... of wood No, it should be said that the elemental magic of all attributes actually relies on the caster's own mental power to maintain, which is equivalent to gathering together some element that originally existed in the air.

When the caster leaves or actively dissolves the "maintaining" relationship of this psychic power, the elements that have gathered together will dissipate again and return to their original form.

Therefore, after the fire elemental spell is cast, it seems to ignite the plants on the ground, and the fire is terrifying, but when the battle is over, it will all disappear and will not cause a large-scale fire.

But there is another kind of fixed element combination, which is manifested in the form of a certain element in the air that is fixed into a combination that does not dissipate and always exists in the air.

For example, the elemental mage of the water attribute will use the elemental spell to "transform" the water when there is a shortage of water, and this kind of water will not disappear if it actually exists, otherwise it will disappear when you drink it in your stomach, and it will not be in vain.

However, this kind of elemental spell requires quite exaggerated elemental power and mental power, and is not suitable for use in battle.

Just like Dina, if she wants the seeds to grow and not disappear, the elemental power of building several vine tents is enough for the vines to grow dozens of centimeters in length.

If the wood attribute elemental spell could make so many plants grow quickly, Dina would have gone to plant it a long time ago, so why should she be a mercenary.
