Milai left with satisfaction, taking away the certificate of nomination that allowed him to enter Tania's core class. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)
The caravan from the Green Shade Territory left, taking with them the huge profits gained from the Dawn Territory transaction, and continued towards the Theocracy. In this transaction, the "various plant seeds" ordered by Sigrid were no longer used.
The price reduction and unprecedented generosity even made the caravan director a little uncomfortable.
The agricultural team has endless enthusiasm for exploring novel plants and crops born under the magic tide. Perhaps among these messy seeds, there will be another delicacy on the dining table in the future, just like peppers.
Although the language of their hometown is only mastered by Lu Yu, Sera and Lu Lu, strangely, the way of saying many foods is actually better than the classic "How are you", "Did you eat?"
The quintessence of Chinese culture spread earlier, and chili is the word that everyone speaks with the least accent.
Various kinds of peppers are not considered an elegant ingredient in Mera. Under the discipline of aristocratic etiquette, this kind of ingredient that can break the expression management ability during the meal is naturally not taken seriously, and can only be handled when handling some.
Chefs only think of it when it comes to ingredients with extremely strong flavors.
The two chefs at Chenxi Ling felt that the two hosts had certain similarities.
Pope Laurent likes sweetness, but he doesn't like it too sweet.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, warned them before they used chili peppers in cooking, "I like spicy food, but I can't just do it for the sake of it. I want you to have me, and I have you to complement each other."
The two chefs only felt that... he was worthy of being chosen by Pope Laurent. Even the teachings contained philosophical meanings that required understanding to understand - although the meaning was that he liked spicy food, but not too spicy.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the ability of people who can cook for the Pope. After learning Professor Lu Yu’s half-baked cooking experience, holding the recipe, thinking about it, and studying it by himself, Lu Yu had nothing to teach them in his second year.
"Hometown flavor" is his greatest compliment to the two chefs.
The two chefs lived up to expectations and repaid Lu Yu's expectations and praises. As an ingredient that was planted by the lord who was known as a glutton when it was founded, peppers naturally became the focus of research by the two chefs of the Theocratic Country.
In the daily diet of Chenxi Ling, it is subtly changing the diet structure here.
Caught a bass?
Hot and sour fish.
Overrun by hares?
Catch it to make spicy rabbit meat, Lord Serra won't mind.
The meat of an unknown monster?
Give it a spicy stew first. If the stew is so heavy that it can’t heal your mouth, then it’s completely hopeless.
Even the Kraken are studying how to make chili pepper a part of their diet. It is said that the Kraken chefs who came to observe and learn have achieved some success, but they don't know whether the spiciness they taste is the same as that of humans.
Olga, who was in the agricultural team, happily announced that the taste of peppers had been upgraded under the magic tide. After the spiciness was upgraded, the people in the hot and humid southwest corner of Mera were jubilant - grateful to Mr. Lu Yu, who knew how to eat, to open it for them.
With new taste buds, I can enter a whole new world. I am grateful for the drastic changes brought about by the magic wave and the hard work of the farming team!
Among the lively crowd, only Lu Yu, the object of gratitude, looked gloomy.
In the past, he was the best at eating spicy food because no one else ate spicy food. Now everyone can eat spicy food, wouldn't he...
The "hotness" that originated from him has gradually evolved into an identity-like existence, second only to the support of the three lords and the respect for the dragon among everyone in Chenxi.
Chili pepper has even become one of the secret codes of the Chenxi intelligence team, and the success rate of using this word to verify the enemy is 100%.
"chili?"
"Green peppercorns."
"Okay, I'm on my own... No, we're all at the door. Is it really necessary to give this code?"
"To be honest, I still don't know what kind of pepper green peppercorns are. It is said that the lord has never found anything similar?"
"That's such a pity. The lord keeps thinking about it. It must be an excellent ingredient."
The situation in Mela was far more chaotic than when the contamination came, and Serra formulated instructions for the intelligence team to withdraw. Except for the members who had to stay at key points, all other members of the core intelligence team returned.
This is the first time that the intelligence team's basic team, composed of more than a dozen former Theocracy members, has gone home after leaving Chenxi. Unexpectedly, two years have passed since they were assigned to serve as "security guards" around Mi Lai.
Two years was enough time for many things to happen, and they were stunned by the dizzying changes in the territory.
When they left, it seemed that there was only a newly built castle here. Now there are rows of houses, slimes running around, and dolls moving quickly to assist in the work... Many people wiped their eyes.
Serra personally welcomed them. Over the years, the Dawn Leader has maintained basic contact with the outside world, and can even get a sneak peek of the whole situation before certain major events, all thanks to them.
On the dinner table, the table was filled with the chili dinner that the members of the intelligence team longed for. This was the taste of their hometown in their hearts, and it was a substitute that they could not find anywhere else.
Since they couldn't work or drink, they were finally able to indulge as much as they wanted, but it was a pity that the special Mugu wine that the Mugu people worked on had not yet been opened. It was said that it was a rare and fragrant wine.
While they were drinking and drinking, only Grove looked solemn and unhappy. He picked up the extraordinarily delicious belly of the seabass, but it tasted like nothing.
"Can't get used to chili peppers?" Sierra came to Grove while holding a wine glass to celebrate the success of the intelligence team. "The kitchen is preparing plain food."
Grove stood up in a hurry. He didn't dare to let Sierra raise his glass to invite him to drink, so he drank a whole glass of wine in one breath.
"Sir Sera...every dish here is so delicious and tastes extraordinary. It's not that I can't get used to it...it's just, alas."
Seeing Grove hesitate to speak, and glancing at the excited returnees eating and drinking excitedly, Sierra led Grove out of the restaurant.
When he came to a secluded place and saw Sigrid waiting there, Grove subconsciously knelt down and saluted - after serving Solon for more than thirty years, all this has become a muscle memory, and he can still restrain himself now.
Chenxi Ling relaxed slightly and made another joke.
"I don't mind, don't worry." The corner of Sierra's mouth raised, "You were preoccupied at the celebration banquet because you had doubts about our decision, right?"
Once the lowest courier in Solon, he finally gained recognition, gained a place to live, and managed intelligence channels with a group of former Theocracy elites. The respect that Grove had never felt elsewhere made him feel stuck in his throat, and he endured it in Solon for his whole life.
, who kept everything in his heart, he chose not to express his displeasure at this moment.
"I know you are worried about us...but, we are already prepared to sacrifice ourselves for the Dawn Leader, and we have such a manageable information channel...even if you retain it, but...sigh."
It can be seen that Grove is very confused. He speaks intermittently and has no structure.
Sera and Sigrid both had strange smiles on their faces.
"How do you know I abandoned those channels?"
Grove suddenly raised his head: "But... I have calculated that with the current number of people, we cannot maintain such a huge channel."
"What is the original intention of establishing the Dawn Territory's intelligence team?"
"Let the Dawn Leader know what's happening in the outside world." Grove looked serious and answered immediately.
"We have never been an organization that must infiltrate and spy in order to master the secrets of those city-states and countries. We just want to know the changes in this continent in a timely manner." Sierra patted Grove on the shoulder, "Now you know why.
Can all your companions drink freely without any pressure?"
Grove was stunned for a while, and then lowered his head again. He shook his head mockingly: "I can't change it... Lord, please forgive me for my offense."
"If you still feel that it is a pity that those already-operated channels cannot be used by Chenxi Ling, I can tell you that someone will take over everything properly and operate it in a more secretive way. Moreover, this time Chenxi Ling will not have to use it.
A waste of manpower and material resources.”
Grove knew that he was talking about Milai, who had not returned, but he was not sure what means were needed to achieve the operation the lord said.
Can the intelligence system exist without spending any money? Is it possible?
"Don't think that you will be free when you come back. I have a task that needs to be assigned to you immediately. You will still be busy for some time to come."
Grove kneeled down to salute subconsciously again, but this time Sigrid held him up first.
"Mi Lai gave me a message, saying that since we purchased elf slaves in Broken Gold City and Port Demorris, not only Tanya sent people to the slave market, but there are also other unknown forces doing this."
Grove's eyes were sharp, and he patted his chest confidently: "The Lord intends to avoid those people who cast a wide net and find truly suitable slaves to enrich the Dawn Territory, right? Leave it to me. I have been dealing with those messengers for many years. As long as I
By looking at their movements, I can roughly judge whether there is a problem, and as long as I ask, I will naturally smell the unconcealable smell on their bodies."
Sierra smiled lightly, smoothed her bangs, and continued: "What I want is your insight, but what I want is not that you avoid... but that you expose them."
"Ah?" Grove was stunned again, "You mean, in public?"
"You can do it in public or privately, it depends on your preference. Remember to tease them about their poor skills after exposing them. If you meet your former colleagues, you might as well tell them about your life and treatment in Dawn Leader."
"Are you trying to win over?"
"There are dangers in winning over these people, don't you think so too?"
Grove was stunned: "But Lord, what do you want to do?"
Sera smiled brightly, her eyebrows were like moonlight: "For your immediate boss Mi Lai, she is the best at seizing opportunities."
Grove heard the clouds and mist swirling around him, and seeing that Sera was unwilling to add any further explanation, he could only bow respectfully.
As expected, I am a stupid person, and I cannot understand the profound meaning of a person like Lady Serra.
It doesn't matter, just be stupid. Dawnland is different from Solon. Even if you are small and old like him, you can still have a small place to enjoy your old age and shelter from the wind and rain.
