Chapter Forty-Eight: Gluttony
The cottage behind the woods is a little shabby and has a very mixed style.
The area around the hut was full of grass and trees, and flowers, but now the flowering period had passed, and they couldn't see the flowers; in front of the house, they also saw a white statue carved from marble; although the outside world was not visible, Jia Yi also noticed the fluctuation of the rune circle, and there was a small house next to the hut, which was the shape of the laboratory.
As they approached, a bearded mage of about 5 or 60 years old came out of the house, and he walked over quickly, and said happily, "You guys are finally here, the council has long said that it will send someone to come, and I thought something had changed. β
Sean said: "No, it's just because there was a little delay on the road, is the seal here okay?" This is Master Jiayi, who has studied the magic array very much, and specially came to check the situation of the sealing place." β
Sean introduced Jia Yi to the other party, and introduced himself by the way, here, Jia Yi's popularity is not as good as Sean, when Yu Wuli came here, Jia Yi's fame was not so big, and there was no "Internet" here, and the broadcast could not reach here.
"The seal is not in a hurry, you are here just in time, there is not even an animal here, and if I want to talk to people, I can only talk to myself. It's been three years, and if you don't come, I'll have to stay for another year. β
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, although the mages are relatively homely, it doesn't mean that they don't need people. When you are at home, although you rarely see people, you can hear the voices of neighbors, children, and cars, so that you know that you are not alone, and you will not be lonely in your heart. But if it's silent outside, you'll feel like you've been forgotten by the whole world.
Alone overseas for three years, there is almost no sound of insects and birds, not everyone can bear it, so the guards here will change every other section, and various races are mixed.
"The dΓ©cor here is interesting. Kaichi said as he looked at the statue standing outside the house.
"It was erected by the people of the Holy See. Juul jumped an eyebrow, "You know, it's not just our council here, so you can see anything in any style. This idol was erected by the Holy See and was able to purify the evil qi leaking from the surrounding demonic realm. The attacking branches you saw when you came were planted by the elven druids, and because they were infected by too much evil energy, they were full of aggression, and I couldn't control them well because I wasn't familiar with them. β
He then lowered his voice and said narrowly, "Actually, even those druids can't control it very well, and he was almost attacked when he handed over to me. β
Seeing him like this, I am afraid that every time someone comes, he will have to tell this matter again, and if there is no accident, this matter will be passed on here forever.
It's too painful and lonely to stand guard here, and any little fun thing will be carefully smacked by yourself, and after seeing outsiders, you can't help but say it to the outside. In fact, there are not only these, but also a deep hole dug by the dwarf at the back of the house, I don't know which one of the guards on duty is a dwarf, and he was bored and dug a big hole dozens of meters deep and hundreds of meters long, if it wasn't for the fear of digging where it shouldn't be digging to break the seal, this hole would have been dug even bigger.
The rocks here are much harder than the outside, and it's not easy to dig up.
After taking Jiayi and them to visit the station, Yuuli suddenly said with some shame: "Well, you should have come here on the June Fire this time, right?" I don't know, did you bring something to eat?" β
"Food?" Jia Yi and Sean looked at each other, Jia Yi turned around, "Of course you brought food, do you want it?"
As he spoke, he took out sausages, hams, frozen fish, beef and mutton, wheat, elf rice, all kinds of fruits, green leafy vegetables, butter and all kinds of spices, and even jellyfish skins that had just been made on the boat.
Suddenly, seeing so much food, Yuuli's eyes popped out: "So much, is there such a big space for your storage ring?"
As he spoke, he pounced, picked up a tomato and began to nibble.
"This is the wolf poison fruit, is it also edible? It tastes so good, and this cucumber is also good, and you even brought flour with you, and there is venison? This is best roasted. β
He swallowed the saliva tomatoes and his eyes lit up at the vegetables, looking like he wanted to eat any of them, but he didn't know which one to eat at first.
Jia Yi was dumbfounded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not early now, why don't I go and make dinner?"
It's only three or four o'clock now, but it's enough time for some people to have dinner.
"You know how to cook?" said Juuli, looking incredulous.
"Of course, you can give some advice and see how good my craft is. β
After speaking, Jia Yi picked out some vegetables and began to cook "dinner".
"Council, didn't you send supplies to the island?" asked Kaichi as he sliced meat and vegetables with his wind blade.
Juul shook his head and sighed: "Of course not, otherwise I wouldn't have lived so long, there is no food on the island, but if you are like me, eat dry food for three years in a row, you will definitely see these delicious foods as crazy." β
The council's supply is very nutritious, but the taste is indescribable, plus the supply here is difficult, it can only be teleported through the teleportation circle, and the things that are teleported each time are also limited.
"Here, the only thing that can improve the taste is some thorn fruits planted by the elves in the past, do you want to try it?"
After speaking, he wiped it from his bracelet and took out a bunch of tiny berries that were gathered together like grapes, and the small berries grew like pearls at the forks of the branches, each as black as ink. Looks pretty good.
At least in Kaichi's consciousness, a fruit like Kurosari must have been ripe, which reminded him of the wild grapes he had seen when he was a child, and although the seeds were small when ripe, they were indeed very sweet.
He didn't refuse Yuuli's kindness, he picked two and threw them into his mouth, and a stream of juice spurted out from his teeth, and the sour taste instantly permeated his mouth, like the taste of unripe grapes, unsweetened yogurt, and unripe astringent persimmons. His eyebrows, eyes, cheeks, nose and lips were all twisted together in an instant, like a towel that had been wrung out.
He couldn't bear to spit out the contents of his mouth, reluctantly swallowed the thorn fruit, and swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva to relieve the soreness in his mouth, feeling that his mouth was a little numb.
"It's really strong. He gave a thumbs up, and Sean, who was next to him who also wanted to try it, immediately retracted his hand.
Juuli said helplessly: "Even the thorn fruit is not eaten at any time, only in spring, and the skin is very thin, and it is easy to break the skin when picking, only after freezing in early spring is the best time to pick, otherwise it will not be stored for too long." β
"Why don't you grow some delicious fruit?" said Sean.
Juuli squinted at Sean and forced his eyes to hold back the roll of his eyes: "Didn't you see it when you came? The environment here, what do you think is easy to live? The evil aura emitted by the demon domain here is too strong, any animal and plant is easily infected, and even if they survive, they will be twisted and mutated and become bloodthirsty creatures." It took a long time for the plants near the station to be planted little by little, and even then, the trees at the entrance were polluted and became killing trees, and we could only barely control them. And the only thing that can bear fruit and be edible here is the thorn fruit. β
His words made people inevitably have to tear bitter tears when they heard it, it was really a bit miserable, Jia Yi and Sean suddenly couldn't help but think unkindly, fortunately, they only need to check the seal when they come over this time, and they don't need to stay here.
The green pepper beef tenderloin in Jiayi's pot quickly got out of the pot, and the mutton and radish soup next to it was also cooked under the high pressure of the spell, and there were mushroom greens made by Jiayi next to it, stewed cabbage tofu with bean sprouts in broth, sweet and sour loin, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cucumbers, and even elf rice was ready.
Sean and Yuuli watched the tentacles flying behind Jiayi, and it was also amazing to see several dishes coming out of the pot together, I had heard of someone who could release multiple spells at the same time, and it was the first time I had seen someone use spells to make multiple dishes at the same time.
