Chapter 2: Julie Muhatta
Stopping to rest at night, the location was chosen at the edge of a water source, and some of the monsters gathered at the water's edge were driven away.
Lu Xi walked out of the carriage that had been sitting all day, I don't know what kind of high technology this carriage used, she sat in the carriage all the way, and she didn't feel the slightest bump, it was smoother than a train on the earth.
However, the other world is not as smooth as the roads on Earth.
Lu Xi took a breath of fresh air outside, and some cold air entered his nasal cavity, stimulating his brain.
Looking to the side, Marco led the people on the patrol team, and their respective division of labor was quite clear.
Several members of the patrol skillfully set up tents around the carriage, half-surrounding the carriage and making a defensive posture, but did not completely surround the carriage.
In this way, in case of danger, Lu Xi can leave the place where the carriage is not fenced off at any time, and there is no need to waste time clearing the road to get out.
On the other side, Anne was taking a few people to fetch water from the river, and by the way, she was building a few bonfires to prepare for cooking.
Marco personally led a few people to check the traces of monsters in the surrounding circle, so as not to be attacked by monsters in the middle of the night, disturb Luxi, and pick up some wood and hay for burning fires by the way.
In the grassland in late autumn, there is no shortage of fire-burning things.
Xiao Yuan and Mao Mao are fishing by the river, and when the weather is cold, Xiao Yuan doesn't like to go into the water, and the attribute of Mao Mao is the fire element, and he doesn't love water very much.
But the two cubs were reluctant to give up the delicious taste of the fish, so they took the fishing rod produced by the system given by Lu Xi and ran to the river to fish.
I don't know if the fish in this river have not been fished and the vigilance is not high, or the fishing rod produced by the system has an effective blessing.
The two cubs were watching the Luxi fishing, the posture was full, the left fishing rod holder, the right side of the fishing bucket, saw the surface of the fish floating, immediately picked up the fishing rod and ran back.
That is, there is no quality problem with the fishing rod produced by the system, otherwise it is estimated that a few fish will not be caught, and the fishing rod will be broken.
Cross had nothing to do, and was called over by the two cubs to deal with the fish, which were all waiting for their dinner.
The White Feather Pegasus walked around leisurely, while Xiuge practiced his sword skills in the open space not far away, and the silver sword in his hand was like a star.
Working diligently, day after day, this is probably the reason why Xiuge is so powerful.
Seeing that the tent for resting at night had been set up, Lu Xi beckoned these people over and dealt with the two prey that Mao Hao caught at noon.
After the skillful process of peeling the skin and bleeding, the monster meat is cut into pieces and the bones are shaved clean.
When he was in the Spirit Farm, Lu Xi was able to receive a monster bone that was marked as a "basic elemental material" from ordinary monsters hunted through the game system.
But when hunting monsters normally outside, the bones that are removed do not belong to the "basic element materials", and can only be used to boil bone broth to drink.
Lu Xi took out a monster bone given by the game system from the system backpack, which was only the size of a forearm, and the monster bone that was completely removed was dozens of times the size.
It is reasonable to guess that in fact, the bones of monsters contain basic elemental power, but they are too scattered, so a single bone of an ordinary monster has no effect, and the game system fuses the bones of a monster's whole body into one.
If the outside world knew about Lu Xi's ability, it would probably be envious to death, after all, elemental materials are important items for making elemental magic weapons, elemental magic arrays, and elemental contracts, and they are only missing.
Although each ordinary monster can only obtain one bone, how many more ordinary monsters are there than low-level monsters, and how much more difficult is the hunting difficulty of low-level monsters than ordinary monsters?
Lu Xi can hunt thousands of ordinary monsters in a day, but how many low-level monsters can others hunt in a day?
Don't take Xiuge as an example, he is a special case, and there are no more than a hundred people in the Elemental Continent who can be like him.
Seeing that a large handful of monster meat skewers had been skewered, on the other side, Cross had also finished processing the fish that Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao had caught.
The fish scales were removed, the internal organs were hollowed out, and they were put into the marinade prepared by Luxi to marinate for a period of time, and then skewered on barbecue skewers.
Lu Xi took out the giant barbecue grill that she had customized with the craftsman Uhe, and put the meat skewers and fish on it to grill, turning them back and forth for someone, and Lu Xi only needed to apply some barbecue sauce that she had prepared herself.
The members of the patrol who were hooked by the aroma of barbecue could hardly eat the food, and Lu Xi was not so kind and cooked for them, but she still had a lot of barbecue sauce, and she generously gave it to them.
In addition to meat skewers and fish, Lu Xi also asked people to help clean and skewer some vegetables, which also has a unique flavor.
Shoge's eyes lit up, and the taste of the barbecue seemed to be more to his taste.
Probably seeing that Cross was busy for them for a long time, Xiao Yuan also gave a grilled fish to Cross, with a bowl of wild rice porridge and a grilled fish, but Cross's dinner was more sumptuous than that of the patrol.
The patrol took Luxi's barbecue sauce, although the taste has improved a lot, but it has never reached the level of deliciousness on Luxi's side, which is also a pity.
After dinner, Lu Xi instructed Cross to cook a pot of bone broth with the remaining bones, which was set on the fire and slowly heated.
Sleeping in the wild, you have to stay for vigil at night, and the night is cold, even if there is a bonfire to keep warm, but the cold still can't resist.
When it's cold, it's good to hold a bowl of hot soup in your hand, and when you take a sip, your whole body will be warm.
The members of the patrol have a new understanding of Miss Lucy.
Although it wasn't made by Lu Xi himself, it didn't taste so good, but for everyone in the patrol, it was enough.
Xiuge and Lu Xi live in a carriage together, after all, the low couch is so convenient for a bed, there is no need to use it in vain, besides, there is a curtain in the middle to block the space, not only to isolate the kitchen.
Cross did not have his own tent, and was arranged by Lu Xi to sleep outside the carriage.
At the entrance of the carriage, there is a flat plate more than one meter wide, with two shelves extending on both sides, and the two kings of the feathered horses pass through the carriage dragged here.
During the day, Cross sat on it and set up the carriage, and at night, he took out a sleeping bag and skillfully got into it—something that Lu Xi had studied.
After soaking the juice of the rain mushroom in cotton cloth, it can achieve the effect of waterproofing, and the same can also be done to prevent wind, although there is no filling such as cotton, but put a few monster fur into it, and the warmth effect is the same.
At least Cross slept in it, so he didn't feel cold, and even had to come out from time to time at night to breathe, some of it was too hot.
On the ninth day after leaving the Spiritual Farm, before noon, Marco came back and told Lu Xi that there were still more than ten miles ahead to reach the town of Muhata.
Lu Xi, who was sitting on the back of the white-feathered Pegasus, nodded, indicating that he understood, looked at the sky, and commanded the team to speed up and enter Muhata Town before noon.
After staying in the carriage for a few days, Lu Xi couldn't stay a little anymore, thinking about coming out to breathe the wind, Mao Xi was very willing to fly with Lu Xi, but remembering the last time he was thrown down, Lu Xi didn't want to be taken away by Mao Xi.
Fortunately, Lu Xi has another choice, and that is Xiuge's white-feathered Pegasus.
Although the White Feather Heavenly Horse is Xiuge's contract pet, he has a very friendly attitude towards Lu Xi, and he does not contradict Lu Xi sitting on it at all, and even Lu Xi can command it at will.
Generally speaking, monsters rarely have a good attitude towards other people, except for the owner who has signed a contract with them.
Although the white-feathered Pegasus is a monster race with a friendly personality, its arrogance is stronger than that of ordinary monsters, and people who are not recognized, Hugh said that they have contacted, and they can't get close to a certain distance.
Lu Xi also reciprocated by sending a lot of "elemental powder" to Xiuge to feed the white-feathered Pegasus.
This elemental powder was sent by the demon pet breeder Mayor last time, Lu Xi turned around and tried it, it was similar to protein powder, it didn't taste good, but it was very nutritious.
With such a big appetite, after eating the food with elemental powder, I felt that I was full.
The disadvantage is that the flavor of the elemental powder is too strong, and it can even cover the deliciousness of Luxi's cooking - between delicious or full, Mao Mao and Xiao Yuan coincidentally chose delicious.
Eating so much food every day, Xiaoyuan and Mao are not short of nutrients.
So only when Lu Xi didn't want to cook so many meals, he would take out the elemental powder to deal with it, and he really didn't use it much, and he was idle when he was idle, so it was better to give it to Bai Yu Tianma.
White Feather Tianma has no rejection of the taste of elemental powder, and likes the feeling of replenishing strength of elemental powder, and his attitude towards Lu Xi is even closer.
So since the past two days, Lu Xi has been riding the white-feathered Pegasus outside every day, and Xiuge has been reduced to walking.
Of course, it's not impossible for Xiuge to stay in the carriage, but Xiuge, like Lu Xi, doesn't like the feeling of sitting in the carriage all day, and would rather walk outside.
Anyway, with Xiuge's physique, there is no problem walking outside.
By noon, the team had finally reached the gates of the town of Muhatta.
Lu Xi had already returned to the carriage to sit, maintaining his identity as a noble lady, and Xiuge took out his identity certificate and other things for the guards at the door to check.
Lu Xi's identity certificate was given to Lu Xi by Rowem when he left the Spirit Farm, otherwise Lu Xi might have faced an embarrassing situation without identification.
The guards didn't check it much, but after looking at the family markings on it, they recorded it and let it in, after all, it was the frame of a noble lady.
As for the cost of entering the city, the guards didn't mention it at all, this is the privilege of the nobles, and before, when Lu Xi followed the dragon hunting mercenary group into the town, he didn't have any identity certificate at all.
After entering the city gate, Lu Xi looked out through the carriage window.
The town of Muhata was much larger than the human towns that Luxi had seen before, and although it did not have a particularly exaggerated bustling scene, it seemed very calm and peaceful.
As the number one subordinate of the mayor of Crook Town, Sench, Marco is also very familiar with the situation of the other two human towns.
According to Marko, the current mayor of the town of Muhatta is a noble lady named "Julie Muhatta".
The mayor of Julie is very resourceful, and has managed the town of Muhatta very steadily since he came to power, although there is no particularly impressive political performance, but the town of Muhatta is the most stable of the three towns.
It is also worth mentioning that she has three lovers, all of whom are well-known figures in the town of Muhatta, and all of them have helped Mayor Julie in managing the town.
When Lu Xi heard this, he was full of shock, wouldn't they be jealous of such an open relationship?
The answer is yes, and the most famous thing in Muhatta is the frequent rivalry between Mayor Julie's three lovers.
In another world, it is very common for nobles to find lovers, whether they are men or women.
However, relatively speaking, the lovers of female nobles are more likely to be mentioned, because the lovers of male nobles will be transformed by the "blood heirs".
And the "blood heirs" of female aristocrats are in their own hands, and their lovers cannot be tied up with children, so they can only start from interests and emotions.
It is more attractive than "a certain woman is pregnant with the child of a certain male nobleman and becomes the other party's first wife", or "a certain man and a certain female nobleman fall in love because of something, and some stories happen".
One of the most striking things about Mayor Julie is that she has a very romantic story with each of her lovers, and even each lover's appearance and personality are different.
It's not that Mayor Julie only has these three lovers, but after going around and leaving many people, only these three people insist on staying.
On the other hand, it is also related to the fact that Julie is older, and she is not as yearning for love as she was when she was young, and she doesn't know new lovers very much.
When Marco was talking about Mayor Julie, he couldn't help but peek at Miss Lucy, he didn't have any ideas, what he looked like, he was still self-aware.
Let's just say that there is Xiuge next to him, how can Miss Lucy take a fancy to him.
Marco thought that many aristocratic ladies who had a good upbringing and had never seen much of the "world" were like Miss Lucy at first, but it was difficult to stick to it.
Power is the most corrupting thing, and in this regard, both men and women.
I don't know what this Miss Lucy will become in the future, whether she can hold on, her pure perception of feelings at this time, or become the next mayor Julie.
Lu Xi didn't think about himself at all, and after eating the melon, he asked Marco to take Cross to find a house to rent.
Lu Xi will stay here for about ten days in the future, and it is not convenient to stay in a hotel, one is that it is difficult to expose his identity.
The other is that there are many and miscellaneous people living in hotels, and there are all kinds of identities, which is easy to do bad things.
Lu Xi also has to talk about a big business, in case someone overhears it, he has bad intentions, and it will not be good to capsize in the gutter.
It's better to find a separate yard that is not too big or small, so that so many people can be accommodated and save any problems.
Besides, Lu Xixin calculated that the cost of opening a house for so many people living in a hotel is not cheaper than renting a house alone, it is better to rent a house.
The difference between men and women is too great for female aristocrats to write like male aristocrats.
There is no need for women to be like men.
It's right that each has its own characteristics.
