The hippo remained in a silly state of "bewitched". After a few seconds, his body shuddered and his IQ returned.

He didn't care about the conversation he had just had with his boss Garfield. He now only cared about what was behind him - Big Tail.

After a moment of froze, he suddenly stood up and shouted to the air above the pit: "Mr. Garfield! Master. Garfield! Tail! You forgot to take the tail away!"

Behind him, the Lion Prince walked over with a gloating smile, "Both, your tail is a magic tail, and it will automatically disappear after a while."

"Ah? How long will it take?"

"You can feel it with your magic."

"Oh..." The hippo "feels" his big tail, "It will disappear after a day."

After confirming that the tail would disappear automatically, the hippo looked bitter and sighed loudly: "Ah... Prince, why do you think, why can't Lord Garfield always get along with me?"

"You are not serious enough in your work."

"But that's not what he said. He either said I wasn't lazy enough, or said I didn't share it with you, and last time he said I was blocking his vision."

“…”

He probably thought you were just stupid and fun.

——This is what the Lion Prince said in his heart and cannot be said.

He patted the hippo on the shoulder and said something else: "Boes, Lord Garfield may value you. Don't you think he cares more about you than me and my mother combined?"

"It seems..." The hippo felt that what the Lion Prince said made sense, and he had an epiphany again.

——As the saying goes, knowing too much will make you feel even more unhappy.

And Booth is a happy hippo orc.

....

....

The country where Mayo Town is located is called ‘Olk’.

In late July, a neighboring country of ‘Olk’ broke out in war with another country.

Although ‘Olk’ has not participated in the war, its neighbors are fighting, which will have some impact on the country.

For example...vegetable prices have increased by one fifth on average.

——The agriculture of ‘Olk’ is not well developed, and staple foods can be self-sufficient. Vegetables, fruits, etc. rely on trade with other countries. Every time there is something to do in neighboring countries, vegetables will rise again.

......

Because Muzhong has a stable supply of vegetables, life has not been greatly affected.

During the period when the elves set up magic circles, his daily life was to go to the Ellilo Forest to collect wild vegetables, fruits and wild fish, and occasionally he was invited by people from the town to participate in some activities.

The third day of August.

On this day, the old shop manager of Baishi received a gift from his friend - an unknown deep-sea fish weighing hundreds of kilograms.

How can you enjoy the fish alone?

So he invited some acquaintances to hold a small banquet.

The old store manager's home is not suitable for handling big fish. After discussion, the banquet was changed to the Rabbit Boss' home.

Mu Zhong was also among the invited people.

In the evening of that day.

He held a box of ‘Homemade frozen tooth grass juice (water) drinks’ and brought a cat to the ‘Red Rabbit Furniture Store’.

When he walked into the store, he saw only a little black rabbit.

"Little Millie, didn't you say to hold a banquet? What about the old store manager and the others?"

"They are in the backyard and are still killing fish."

"Ah...I came too early."

"No, Mr. Garfield, please sit for a while, I'll serve you tea."

"No, I'll go to the backyard to have a look."

...

When I arrived at the backyard, Mu Zhong saw a group of people surrounding a fish, which seemed very lively.

He put the box down and came over: "Oh ~ Isn't this a Black Pearl Deep Sea Cannonball Fish?"

The voice of speech alarmed these people.

"Ah-- Lord Garfield."

"Mr. Garfield, you are here."

"It's good that you're here."

"Why are you bringing something here?"

“…”

After some noise.

The rabbit boss held a kitchen knife and pointed at the fish on the wooden board and smiled bitterly: "Garfield, what's going on with this fish? I can't handle it even if I cut it with a knife, burn it with fire, or stab it with a spearhead."

Mu Zhongshu read a lot: "This thing lives in a sea area with a depth of more than 800 meters. The surface is as hard as steel. It is extremely difficult for ordinary swords to break the skin outside it. This fish is a rare product. Old store manager, your friend has a good relationship with you."

The old store manager smiled embarrassedly and asked, "Is this 'Black Pearl Deep Sea Cannonball Fish' valuable? How much can it be sold on the market?"

"Haha, this thing is a deep-sea fish. Here it is the kind that you can't buy even if you have money. We can just eat it."

In the sea, the adult "Black Pearl Deep Sea Cannonball Fish" sprinted, like a cannonball, and the impact was as powerful as a magic cannon.

It is not an ingredient that ordinary people can access.

If you talk about the price here now, it will affect everyone's mood of eating it.

...

The old shopkeeper shook his eyes. He guessed the price of the fish and laughed: "That's right, but Garfield, do you have a good way to kill it?"

Mu Zhong pointed to the knife in Boss Rabbit’s hand, “I’ll attach a 'Sharp Strengthen' to your knife.”

As he said that, a magic spot flew out from his fingertips and landed on the kitchen knife in the other party's hand.

Boss Rabbit looked at the kitchen knife with a flashing sharp edge in his hand and said in surprise: "I have seen people use this magic before, but it's... chopping iron like mud."

In order to try the magic effect, he raised his knife and slashed at the fish body.

Mu Zhong hurriedly grabbed his hand holding the knife and said panic: "Boss Rabbit, leave fish under the knife! This fish has a strong skin. If you cut it, it will be difficult to get it later."

——If it affects the taste, it will be even worse.

The Lion Prince snatched the knife from the boss of the rabbit, "Let me do it, Lord Garfield, please watch it."

Before he could do it, the old store manager snatched the knife again: "What are you anxious about? Can you kill fish?"

"I saw that someone else had done it, so would I."

"Go and watch."

“…”

Everyone had a fuss for a while, and finally the kitchen knife returned to Boss Rabbit.

...

Next, except for the rabbit boss who used too much force several times and chopped through the wooden board where the fish was padded, no other accident happened.

There will be fifteen people in the small banquet, divided into two tables with large and small tables.

Mu Zhong was a "distinguished guest" and he sat at the big table.

Also because he was a "distinguished guest", he was "invited" to have a few glasses of wine at the banquet.

When I was drunk, my mind was not drunk, but my face turned red.

Fortunately, no one present could appreciate the appearance of human beings, so it was as dull as usual.

Everyone was having a meal and chatting, and they talked about the recent current affairs.

Boss Rabbit: "The two countries next door fight, I wonder if they will also bring 'Elk' into it."

The old store manager: "No, our king is not that stupid."

Lion Prince: "I heard that those two countries fought because of a fruit forest. Is this really the case?"

The old store manager: "The fruit forest is on the dividing line between the two countries. They have conflicts every year, but this year it has become a big deal."

Mu Zhong: "Is the fruit forest big?"

Old store manager: "Not big."

Mu Zhong: "Then why not just cut them down? Then set a clear line?"
