"Miss Erica, try the pumpkin pie I made. What do you see is the problem?" said Zina, handing Erica the finished pumpkin pie.

At this time, it was already evening, and Erica and the others came to the place where they had made an appointment, and sure enough, Zina was already waiting here.

Erica took the pumpkin pie, which still looked ordinary on the outside, but didn't smell like much. After thinking about it, Erica opened her mouth and took a bite.

"Wow!"

"What's wrong, Erica. What's wrong with you?" Kuromaki asked with concern.

Erica shook her head and said, "I feel that my tongue is numb, and I can't taste anything." Thankfully, it wasn't an explosion. If it's a general dish, you can use the taste to reverse what went wrong with the original production process. If it is salty, you will know that there is too much salt. But this dish can't taste it, and there is no way to reverse it. That's why other people can't teach Lu well. ”

There are also passers-by who have taught Zina, but Zna can't learn anything. A big reason is that the problem that Zina made was something, and there was a problem even though there was no explosion. No one has been able to figure out the cause of this problem.

Zina also sighed and said, "Yes, even I don't know why this is happening. ”

"And what are you going to do Erica?"

Erica thought for a moment and said, "I think I'll make pumpkin pie once too, in the simplest way possible, and then fix all the steps and seasonings." In this case, you will be able to make a pumpkin pie that you can eat. ”

"That's the way to do it. Kuromaki nodded in agreement, fixing the steps and the amount of ingredients, even if a fool follows it, he will definitely be able to make a good dish.

Then Erica demonstrated it for Zna a few times and made a few pumpkin pies. Luckily, the simple cookbook left by Erica's mother happened to have a basic pumpkin pie recipe. As long as you follow that, although the final pumpkin pie tastes average, there will be no problems.

Zna was very clever and quickly mastered, and after letting her go to practice, the group returned to the cabin. Prepare to come back the next day to test the results of Zina's practice.

Back in the evening, Erica began to cook by herself, with her uncle's ingredients, and Aries is good at home cooking, and the ingredients are very delicious. The black rolls are even more non-stop.

"Lord Kuromaki, eat a little more. Although you are so uncultivated, I still advise you to eat more, you are usually so picky eaters, resulting in incomplete body development. You'll have to make it up later. The squirrel looked at Black Roll's poor chest and persuaded, but it sounded more like a slander.

Before the black curls could get angry, Erica immediately interrupted and asked, "Uncle Crewe, do you know where the Wind Forest is?"

Uncle Crewe's face changed and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"My map says that there are electric pigs living here, and I need them as an ingredient. Erica explained.

"I see, it wasn't easy. Although it is not difficult to capture an electric pig, the grade of the ingredients is only one star. But the electric pig is a social creature. And it is said that there is also an electric pig king there. I advise you not to go. ”

"Can you tell me about the situation there?" asked Kippi the Squirrel.

The uncle nodded and said, "The so-called Wind Forest was originally a forest. It's called because the wind always blows there, gathering the clouds there. So the trees there grow very fast. It became a forest. Twenty years ago, however, there was a change in the clouds, which brought in a lot of thunder and lightning. The forest is gradually destroyed. So it's now known as the Valley of Thunder. ”

"No wonder there is an electric pig to survive. ”

"What the hell is going on?" asked Erica curiously, she couldn't stop being secret.

"Actually, because of the war, I was one of the soldiers at that time. The sea wizards invaded, the royal family resisted, and even the prince personally carried the war spear to the battle. As a result, the prince died in the Forest of Winds, and the sea wizard retreated due to heavy casualties. I'm a survivor of that war, so I'm living around here, and I'm loyal to the prince. Ahem, this injury also existed at that time, and it has reached the limit after 20 years. Uncle Crewe coughed.

"I see, but my uncle's carving skills are also very strong, and it is much better to be a master of wood carving than to be a soldier. ”

"That's because I was a carpenter's son before I became a soldier, and I had no choice but to go to war when I was fighting. ”

"Who are these girls that Uncle sculpted?" asked Kuromaki.

Uncle Crewe said with a sad look on his face, "That's my fiancée before the war. Originally, he agreed to marry her after the war. But after the war ended, she was dead. But the strange thing is that I can always dream of her every summer, and always wear a different outfit. So I carved her in my dream. ”

"Do you only dream about it in summer?" asked the squirrel.

"Well, only summer dreams of it. I guess it's because my memory of her is stuck in the summer. She was born in the summer, and when she was young, she often only spent the summer together, going up the mountain together, going down the river together, and catching cicadas together. It was also in the summer when I left, and she died in the summer. ”

"I'm sorry. Let Uncle you be sad. Erica Dao apologized.

"It's okay, I've already seen it, and if I die this time, it's just right to go with her. It's just that there is no way to continue to be loyal to the prince. I hope the prince doesn't blame me. ”

"You have been guarding the prince for twenty years, and the prince will not be blamed. ”

"All right, go to bed. Girls need to rest early. ”

When the few people returned to the room, Kurojuan immediately threw the squirrel onto the bed and asked, "What do you know about this guy?" ”

"Alright, alright. I'll tell you what I know. That Zina is not a human, but a goblin. ”

"No, she's about the same height as a human. Could it be that the goblins are also big?"

"That's true, but it's not for this reason, it's her clothes, it's not that she's wearing different clothes, it's the same costume, it's called the fairy clothes. Wearing that dress, you can change the size, color, style. What we saw was just a conjugation of the dress. That's why I can't feel her fairy breath, just like a human. ”

"So Miss Zina just became Uncle Crewe's lover, not Uncle Crewe's real lover?, that's why Zna wants to open Uncle Crewe's heart with pumpkin pie?" asked Erica.

"And even if we do, Zina is a goblin, can a goblin cook?" asked Kuromaki.

Erica couldn't help but look at Sora, which was simply a tragedy of fairy cooking. Although goblins have a sense of taste, they can't distinguish between what is delicious and what is not. Therefore, it is difficult to prepare the food.

"That's why it's a legendary-level difficulty, so that a fairy can learn how to make food. It's simply not possible. So this legend is destined to end in tragedy. Squirrel Chippie sighed.

Several people felt the weight of the pressure, and their moods became depressed.

In the other room, Uncle Crewe also walked towards his room, and suddenly he stopped and muttered, "Strange, why did I hear the sound of cicadas chirping again?" It's already autumn. Looks like I'm really going to go. I always think about catching cicadas in the summer, and what name I gave to that cicada. You seem to say that, Zna Zina's scream, then it's called Zina. I guess that's what I mean. ”
