Chapter 112: The Chef's Performance
Grint hung her head, although she knew in her heart that the chance of Lanaya agreeing was almost zero, but Grint was still a child after all, and there would always be a little bit of playfulness. It's just that a place like a casino is really not suitable for her.
"We'll head north early tomorrow morning, and we'll all have to rest honestly tonight, or you'll go back to the Hidden Sanctuary by yourselves. Lanaya said.
As night falls, the lights come on.
Thanks to Grinthe's help, Samantha's mother is now able to help take care of her grandson. Samantha's luck was also good, she found a job in a restaurant and no longer had to go out fishing every day. She now has an income of 2,000 purple coins a week, which is a lot of money for a poor family.
When most of the people had already fallen asleep, Lanaya took a small space enchantment, walked to her desk alone, lit up a small table lamp, and took out a series of things such as her circle carving knife and drawings. If what she wants to do is really born in this world, it will definitely be earth-shattering. Fifty people, a collective teleportation within 500 miles! And it is not a fixed-point return, but a free teleportation to a point in a designated direction! Moreover, it does not use intervals, if the person holding it has enough mana, that is, the spiritual energy of this world, it can be transmitted from one side of this planet to the opposite toe point in one day.
...... How can such a rebellious thing be made in front of others, and the progress can only be carried out in private, and this is still a group of people who are difficult to dismiss, what if they want Lanaya to send one by hand!
She remembered that she was particularly impressed by this circle, which had been painted almost non-stop for nine days, and if it were to be changed to now, it would take two and a half months to divide an hour a day...... Coupled with the high difficulty of scaling, it will definitely take more time.
It seems to be extra lively outside tonight. Tonight is the new year, and one year is one year less than the thousand-year-old day of the new calendar.
Do those who have only laughter on their faces know that disaster is coming?
......
Over the forest, a purple dragon was flying north. Having a flying mount is arguably the ultimate wish of all abilities, and who doesn't want to ride the wind to enjoy the scenery of forests, rivers, mountains, and deserts?
However, the Purple Scale Dragon's two-hour limit had been reached, and during this time, they were not found at all, and they were forced to fall from the sky and walk instead. The task of overcoming obstacles was automatically given to Ted, and he did it quite easily, traveling quickly along the way.
The speed of the Purple Scale Dragon's flight was impressive, and in two hours, they had traveled more than two hundred kilometers, and they could cross a large city. As a former spirit animal, he now serves as a mount for a group of children...... If it weren't for Ranaya's important mission, it wouldn't have done it.
As you walk, the road becomes wider, and the trees gradually retreat to the sides. At dusk, I vaguely heard the sound of running water in front of me, and the more I walked forward, the clearer the sound of flowing water became, and a waterfall appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The water turned white due to the rapid fall, and several round stones were faintly visible in the middle. The stream at the bottom of the pool stretches to both sides of the valley, and there is no end in sight. From their point of view, the mountain towers into the sky and is verdant, with unknown flowers blooming along the edge of the waterfall.
Ranaya visually inspected it, this waterfall is two hundred meters high, to say the least, the water is turbulent, and the mountains on both sides are cliffs, and it is completely impossible to climb up, unless you have wings. Their route was blocked, and it was almost evening, so it was not wise to continue on their way, so they decided to find an open ground nearby and pitch their tents.
To everyone's surprise, Ranaya unusually took on the role of commander for such a "non-business" thing, "Ted, it's okay for you to set up a tent alone, right? Grint, go help him." Zovinie, go and see if there are any fish in the stream, or go around and see if there are any other small beasts, and catch some. Arnold, you go and pick up some branches, and make them crispy, so that they can be used as firewood. β
When Grint heard these words, his eyes sparkled: "Are you going to barbecue?!"
Ted staked the four feet of the tent, got up and said, "I know something to cook, but I don't have spices with me. β
Lanaya lightly took out a bag of things from the ring and said, "Samantha gave it to me before." You're going to try it?"
Ted took the bag, leaned under his nose and asked, stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses: "This fragrance is very good! Not to mention the four spices are used, and the proportions are also very appropriate, Samantha is really a worthy master." β
After setting up two tents, Ted got up and went to the waterfall to wash his hands, and when he returned, he found that Zovinie had placed her loot on a pile of fresh leaves. A dozen small fish, plus a hare, are enough for five people to have a full meal.
Set up the firewood and make a fire, at this time the sunset has faded, and a few stars have risen on the branches. Ted patiently cleaned the entrails of the fish, smeared them with spices, put them on thin branches, and roasted them over the fire. The warm light of fire danced across Ted's face, and his expression was focusedβGrint thought from the bottom of his heart that Ted was even more handsome when he grilled fish than when he held a sword.
The oil on the fish's belly began to sizzle and sparkle, and the aroma was so fragrant that anyone who smelled it would salivate. Ted slowly flipped each string of fish so that the oil on the belly soaked into the fish, so that instead of baking, it would turn a beautiful golden brown. As soon as Zovine finished cutting the rabbit meat, she smelled a fragrance coming to her nose, and she could no longer take her eyes off the skewers of fish that Ted had turned over, staring intently. Grint sneaks her head out from behind, but it's the ...... that attracts her more
"Okay, you taste. Ted handed Zovini a skewer of grilled fish to the one in front of him.
"Okay? Then you're welcome. Looking at the bubbling grilled fish, Zhuo Winnie sucked her saliva and took a big bite almost without hesitation, but before she could say anything, she was scalded.
Grint stared at it for so long, and in the end, he wasn't the first to give it to her...... Disheartened, he was about to turn around and leave, but Ted suddenly turned around, but Ted's gaze wandered into the woods beside him, or at a star in the night sky passing through the trees: "You...... You pick one. β
Grint's green onion white jade hand hesitated on each skewer of grilled fish, she stole a glance at Ted, as if remembering something, and laughed softly, and finally she picked a small one, which was a reasonable choice.
Zovini managed to recover from her tongue being burned and numbed, and she was glad that she didn't kill her sense of taste, and the fish was grilled just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and had an excellent taste...... That's the perfect collaboration between Samantha and Ted!
Ted handed the grilled fish to Arnold, whose face was full of surprise and said, "You made it?" β
Ted smiled, "Thank you." Give you a big one, eat, there's nothing else for dinner, look at your skinny. β
Finally, Ted walked up to Lanaya and handed the last skewer of grilled fish in his hand. Before Ted could say anything, Lanaya took it and smiled, "Thank you." β
Zhuo Winnie took the initiative to set up a simple barbecue grill, took out an iron skewer and skewered the divided hare meat on it, so that it was easy to roast. In the sound of crackling firelight, Zhuo Winnie sat on the grass, her eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly asked, "So, what did you all see in the illusion of the Water Moon Mirror Flower?"
It was getting dark, and the sound of insects chirping, accompanied by the crisp sound of the waterfall falling among the pebbles. The more lively nature is, the more tranquil people's hearts are.
There were two people blushing at the same time, but Grint quickly pretended to be indifferent, waved his hand, and said, "Yes, Zovinie, what do you see?"
Zovini curled up her small body, frowning slightly, her pupils flickering. "I ...... I really don't believe that in the end everything will turn out to be true. I didn't like him either, so how could I like him? I was just...... Think he's a ...... I...... I just don't want him to be like that. β
After listening to what Zovine said, Grint was a little worried, some people would be like this, and they didn't want others to know the secrets in their hearts. But Zovinie must have seen something unwanted, so Grint had to comfort: "No, no, no matter who he is, it will be fine." β
Zhuo Vini stretched out her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "Thank you." β
Arnold's expression was helpless, he rubbed his hair, and said, "In that illusion, I didn't see anything. β
Lanaya turned her gaze to this side, only to see Zhuo Vini forced a smile on her face: "So what, maybe you are only looking for a lover, and you are still the kind of harem group!"
β...... No way. Arnold smiled, he didn't think he would be that kind of person.
"What about you? Lanaya. Zovini tilted her head and rested her ears on her bent knees.
"Me. Lanaya chuckled and looked up at the stars. Where there is light, the night against it is relatively darker.
The star is so far away from people that all you see is what it looked like eons ago. Even if it is light, it is necessary to chase the long years and bring holiness to this world.
He said, "Thank you for letting me see the light."
"He and I should have met a long, long time ago. Lanaya said leisurely.
"How long is it?"
Remember her original mentor telling her that all your targets will become a corpse under your hands, for a variety of reasons, but you must not be emotional about the person you kill. If you are ruthless, then man is just a piece of flesh and blood, and if you can't bear to do it, or if you feel remorse or guilt later, then you are emotional.
...... It's been a long, long time, so long that she doesn't know what love is.
