The golden crab roe is like a bright gem dotted on the dishes, shining with a charming luster.
The rich and fresh scent hits your nostrils.
The salt-baked meat shows a deep color and the mellow taste is integrated into it, adding a unique flavor to this dish.
After the vegetables are baked, they still maintain their respective shapes, which is pleasing to the eye.
The deliciousness of crab roe and the salty aroma of marinated meat blend into each other, permeating every piece of seasonal vegetables and every grain of rice.
Maluciel swallowed and couldn't help but pick up a chopstick and put it in her mouth.
The crab roe is delicate, the marinated meat is mellow, and the freshness of the vegetables dances on the tongue.
Various wonderful flavors are layered and spread in the mouth...
To outsiders, there was even a faint burst of light in Malusil's bowl.
Jon: It’s special effects. I added special effects.
"What's going on with this rice? Why is it so delicious!"
"It must be an illusion. How can there be such delicious rice in the world!"
"It's like walking on the beach, your body and mind are conquered."
Malusil, fell.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has been conquered by cooking.
Although the previous Di Sanxian was also delicious, it was just a home-cooked dish after all.
The baked rice with Mimic Crab Roe added directly rises to the premium category.
Delicious is just one word, and I said it more than once.
Jon: "Now, you can understand the value of monster food."
Malusil knelt down directly, "I was so arrogant before, what about Smee!"
Leos and Kilchak looked at each other.
Do you want to be so exaggerated?
They even suspected that Malusil and Jon had colluded.
Sensi sighed with emotion: "I originally knew that Qiao Qiao was a person who knew how to live and understand life, but I didn't expect that his level would be so high."
Just like telling a story, he said to Leos and Chilchak: "Tasting his food not only makes you immersed in the food, but also makes you want to burst into tears."
"Breaking clothes?" Chilchak subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly.
Although most of the people present are men, he is the father of the child after all, and he needs to pay attention when he should.
"Don't listen to Sensi's nonsense. There is no such thing as breaking clothes and breaking clothes!" Jon said while serving a bowl of rice to Leos and the others.
Leos looked at the rice in front of him and remembered something. He took a big spoonful with a complicated mood: "I really want Faline to experience the taste of this kind of food..."
Chirchak comforted him and said: "Yes, there will be such a day."
After saying that, he also took a spoonful.
taste.
Shock.
Then, eat a lot.
Spoonful after spoonful.
The spoon almost turned into an afterimage after waving it.
Jon: “Poor hospitality—”
Those who were not full in the evening finally ate in the middle of the night.
With a great sense of satisfaction, the group fell asleep quietly.
…
…
the next day.
Chirchak yawned, looked at the calm lake in front of him, and then looked back at Marusil who was constantly stirring the cauldron, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you ready? We have been waiting here for at least an hour.
Already."
Malusiel: "Don't worry, don't worry, because Sensi's magic resistance is too high. I can't successfully use 'floating' on him. I can only give him a bath first. You have to be patient."
Chirchak tugged at the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but recall the smell of crab roe, bacon, seasonal vegetable baked rice last night, and touched his stomach: "I'm so hungry~"
"There's nothing we can do about it." Leos was sharpening his sword on the side and looked at Sensi, who was dealing with the aquatic horse: "No one expected that something like that would happen."
Turning back the clock a bit…
Four levels underground, the water flowing out of the cracked rock formations formed a lake, and the water rich in magic emitted a glimmering light.
The urban area surrounding the castle looms like a phantom in the depths of the water.
A group of people stood on the small bamboo raft and looked at the big lake in front of them with a headache.
Leos asked curiously: "Sensi, how do you explore the four underground floors with so much weight on your back?"
Sensi said: "There is too much water here. I hardly explore it. Usually I just catch fish around and install a few traps."
After pondering for a moment, he asked: "You have entered deeper mazes before, right? How did you cross this huge lake?"
Malusil said very proudly: "Of course it's through magic."
While speaking, she touched her staff, turned her head downward, and touched her feet twice.
Then she jumped forward: "As long as you do this, you can stand on the water safely. How about it? Are you envious? I can also cast the same magic on you."
Sensi: "Duck..."
"Duck?" Malusiel looked puzzled.
"Duck!!!" Unexpectedly, the dwarf warrior who usually looked calm and reliable actually let out a roar similar to Malusil's.
Not only that, he also danced the same street dance as Malusil, "duck da duck da duck da!"
Marucil:⊙w⊙
What situation is this?
I'm stupid.
Chirchak kindly reminded: "Hey, hey, hey, Fatty is exposed."
Laos also said: "The ground here is cooler and the air is slightly colder. If you mess around, you may get rheumatism..."
"Duck da duck da duck da duck da!" Senxi still lay on the ground like a child unable to get up.
Malusiel held her forehead: "Do you really dislike magic that much?"
Sensi: "Yes! What I hate most is magic."
"Thank you for calling yourself me. I have never seen any respectable old man crawling on the ground like you, showing off his fatness to everyone." Malusiel looked away and deliberately turned her head away.
No matter how hard you say it, Senxi won't get up.
Chilchak said helplessly: "What should we do? Should we tie him up on a rope and drag him away?"
Leos looked embarrassed.
He looked at Jon: "What's your opinion?"
"Don't look at me, I can do anything, and I don't reject magic." Jon shrugged, indicating that he could not help Sensi's situation.
"Listen to me and tie him up." Chirchak whispered seductively.
He remembers revenge.
——The ‘hatred’ of yesterday’s lockpicking tools.
"Even if you say so." Laos frowned, and then, without hesitation, he took action and caught Sensi who was awkward on the ground: "While I have control over him, quickly cast a spell on him."
Malusiel was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."
Sensi:!!!
Come to cheat, come to steal.
I am an old man of several decades.
is this okay?
this is not good!
Be careful I feed you rat tail juice!
"If you get used to something as weak as magic, the skills you have developed will soon be wasted."
"I will not let magic contaminate my pure body, no!"
"Stop it, stop it!"
Sensi kept talking like a machine gun.
He suddenly remembered something: "Qiaoqiao, come and help me quickly. They don't understand, but you must understand me."
Jon pretended not to hear and started to admire the scenery in the distance.
Sensi: "How come, have you forgotten the friendship we formed when we cooked together?"
At this moment, Malusil's staff touched Sensi's beard.
"Okay~"
"You're such a willful elf girl, you really made me miserable." Senxi looked dissatisfied.
"Why are you hurting me? I'm helping you. Besides, why are you so resistant to magic? It's such a useful thing." After being beaten, Malusiel felt aggrieved.
Sensi: "I would like to ask, why are you so careless about magic and the like?"
Seeing that no one could be persuaded, Senxi and Marusil turned their heads at the same time.
Leos tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, the matter is over anyway, and there is no point in arguing anymore. Sensi, maybe you will like magic after using it."
Sensi sighed.
This is already the case, what else can be done?
He took a step forward.
You can feel the obvious buoyancy coming from your feet.
"This is the effect of magic..."
Thinking this way, a sudden change occurred.
For some reason, my body sank slowly, and in the blink of an eye, only the top of my head was left in the water.
Laos finally reacted: "Sensi! What are you doing, Sensi."
With that said, he called to Jon and dragged Sensi back to the shore.
Sensi looked confused.
I swear to God, I didn't do anything just now.
"What's going on?" Chirchak said in confusion: "Maluciel, does your magic work?"
The halfling has doubts about his companion's professionalism.
Malusiel was also confused, "It shouldn't be. I have used this spell many times, and the effect has never been so bad."
As if checking something, she twirled a strand of Senxi's beard, "Is it because of this? Uh, magic insulator."
Leos looked at it carefully and said: "If my guess is correct, it is filled with various greases and monster blood. This thing cannot be washed clean with just water."
"Hey——" Malusiel took a few steps back in disgust.
"This is my pride as a monster expert!" For some reason, Senxi looked arrogant.
The topic changed, "Besides, even if there is no such unreliable magic as magic, I still have my own way to cross the water."
"But didn't you say you've never explored here before?" Laos asked curiously: "It would be too dangerous to swim there without relying on magic. Besides, with your weight and the equipment on your body, it's really
Is there any way to take a good swim?"
"Okay, okay." Senxi waved her hand: "Don't ask so many questions, I have a clever plan of my own."
Chirchak: "Let me start by saying that building a ship is a waste of time, and since we carry a lot of weight, the boat can easily sink to the bottom."
Laos shook his head, "Okay, okay, at this time, we seem to have no other choice but to believe."
He has a mysterious confidence in Sensi, "I believe he can definitely find a way to cross the water! A unique way to cross the water!"
Malusil interrupted abruptly: "Are you sure?"
Sensi didn't care so much, took out a piece of Mimic's shell and put it into the water.
"Are you going fishing?" Leos asked.
Sensi remained silent.
After about three to five minutes, a pair of eyes dimly lit up under the water.
Then, a huge horse head appeared.
A 'flying hoofed beast' that was enlarged several times appeared in front of everyone's eyes. This dark blue monster was an aquatic horse with the body of a horse and a tail of a fish!
"Danger, retreat quickly." Malusiel raised the staff and cast the fireball spell without saying a word.
Sensi stopped him, "It's okay, she's harmless. This horse is called Annie. Every time I go fishing, she will come over and watch me silently."
"No, you also gave the monster a name?" Malusil's head was full of black lines, feeling that the world had finally turned into something beyond imagination.
She watched helplessly as the aquatic horse named Annie was chewing Sensi's beard, and she suddenly felt a chill.
"I was wondering before if I could rely on her to cross the water. Now that the opportunity is rare, let me give it a try." Sensi didn't care and even patted the horse's head.
Leos and the others looked speechless.
Sensi raised a finger: "You know, just like riding a donkey on the surface, using the Mimic's shell as a lure may be able to designate the direction Annie is heading. As you can see, aquatic horses have special abilities.
It won’t sink to the bottom.”
A magical horse that walks on water?
"This... this is great!" Malusil, who didn't know which string was wrong, actually thought Sensi's method was very cool.
But Lanes, who has always had a soft spot for monsters, rarely expressed his objection: "No."
He said in a deep voice: "It would be more realistic to use this guy's internal organs to make an airbag."
Jon and Chilchak also nodded.
"No, what nonsense are you talking about? It's rare to find a docile monster, but you want to kill her?" Malusiel seemed to be immersed in some kind of chuunibyou fantasy, standing side by side with Sensi.
The two people who were arguing just now were unexpectedly on the same side.
Sensi and Malusiel protected the washed horse: "This is too cruel."
Laos said with a serious face: "Generally, monsters have many rules. For example, ferocious ones will not be poisonous, and poisonous ones will not have fangs and claws, but like the aquatic horse behind you. According to me
It is known that this kind of monster will rely on its cute appearance to gradually make people lose their vigilance, and then suddenly kills people when they are unprepared."
"Annie is different from other aquatic horses. We have known each other for a long time." Sensi still insisted on her own idea.
Leos seemed to want to say something more, but was patted on the shoulder by Jon, "Forget it, no matter how much you say, they won't listen now. Facts speak louder than words. Just take it step by step.
"
"But this is just a joke with his life." Leos still wanted to fight for it.
Jon comforted him and said: "When necessary, I will take action to protect Sensi's safety."
"That's... okay." After hearing what Jon said, Leos finally let go.
Sensi and Marusil were so happy that they high-fived excitedly: "Yeah~"
Malusiel looked forward to it: "If possible, can you let me ride Annie too? To be honest, I have read a novel before, in which the prince got married riding a horse that could go to heaven and earth.
His beloved princess."
Girls' feelings are always poetry.
Do not ask.
If you ask, you are still underage from the perspective of an elf.
Sensi said very generously: "There is no problem at all. Annie is very docile, but before that, you have to help me install a simple control tool and hang the Mimic's shell in front of her."
