When Shirley came back with Nelisi, Myrcella and Nymeria, Rolf had already taken the dragon crystal dagger, removed one leg of the Wye Wyvern and cleaned off the scales.
After being ground into powder, these scales can be used as medicine, used to make armor, or even used to cook a famous dish:
Spicy fish scales.
Therefore, Luofu did not throw away the scales, but collected them. Then he waved to the four girls and began to assign their respective tasks to them:
As a personal assistant, Shirley naturally stayed to help Luof;
Nelisi was sent by Rolf to get seasonings and miso, giving full play to her outstanding talent in the field of potions;
The mermaid Myrcella was sent to make sashimi and various seafood, which was her specialty; while Nymeria was sent to the vegetable garden to pick various vegetables and berries.
Even Norbert has a mission. It needs to provide fire support and use high-heat dragon breath to roast the dragon's legs of the Wye Wyvern.
Of course, Norbert's work was not in vain. As a reward, he could get another leg for dinner.
Five people and a little female dragon started working like this. Everyone performed their duties and a sumptuous dinner was quickly prepared:
The leg meat of Wye Feilong was placed on the barbecue iron spit and turned slowly. The meat was roasted until it was crispy and fragrant, and the fat was overflowing.
The creamy chestnut soup with honey, crispy hot bread and vegetable salad mixed with apples and pine nuts exudes a rich aroma.
In addition, there are sashimi with some perilla leaves and oysters whose smell has been softened with lemon, placed on the tray.
Nelisi, who had not eaten for a day, couldn't wait to swallow a large piece of Huai dragon meat. Because she ate too fast, she choked out some grease in her mouth, and then coughed hard.
Shirley quickly handed over a glass of apple juice. Nelisi drank it and regained her breath. Then she slowly bit into a piece of dragon meat and praised:
“It’s so delicious!”
"It tastes really good." Myrcella also praised it and said, "It melts in your mouth, fragrant but not greasy."
She has tasted countless sea fish over the years, but in terms of taste, none is as outstanding as Wye Feilong.
Luofu cut off a small piece of dragon meat from the fire, chewed it gently and said:
"It tastes a bit like the subcutaneous fat layer on the belly of a mammoth, but it's smoother and tenderer than that meat."
"Have you ever eaten mammoths?" Nelisi looked puzzled. "Aren't they extinct long ago?"
"They are extinct, but there are still many mammoth carcasses preserved in Siberia." Roff explained:
"That year, my grandfather and I went to Russia to visit the Kodos Doriz Magic School. Near their school, we found a mammoth that had been dead for nearly 10,000 years, and then cut off some of the meat to have a taste.
"
Shirley took the plate from Rolf, took out the knife and started to cut off pieces of browned meat from the bones. After filling the boy with meat pieces, she said curiously:
"A 10,000-year-old mammoth...can the meat still be eaten?"
"Of course." Luof took the plate and said with a smile: "The temperature of the permafrost in Siberia is too low, and those mammoths are not rotten, and the meat is completely edible."
"If you have a chance in the future, I will take you to Siberia to dig potatoes and mammoths!"
The girl with the ponytail smiled brightly and nodded vigorously.
The few of them chatted about food for a while. Nymeria took a cup of unicorn blood mixed with herbs, took a sip, and suddenly asked:
"Rolph, is something happening outside?"
Myrcella also looked at Luo Fu with an extremely serious expression:
"I just heard the mermaid singing in the box. When I came to the North Sea half a year ago, I heard the exact same sound once, and then a ghost ship came."
"That's right," Luofu nodded gently and said, "We are on the ghost ship now, that's why I asked you to come over."
The young man quickly told what happened today. After listening, Myrcella and Nymeria looked at each other. They were not worried or afraid, but there was a hint of unspeakable surprise in their eyes.
"It seems that we are on the way to that island." Myrcella looked excited, clenched her hands into fists, and said, "There may be a chance to go up there this time."
Nymeria also stood up excitedly and walked slowly around the bonfire.
She drank the unicorn's blood to survive, but accordingly, she was tortured day by day by the curse in the blood.
Nymeria was so eager to land on the island, find the legendary fountain of good luck, and then break the curse.
"What island?" Nelisi asked curiously, as if listening to a book from heaven: "Where is this ghost ship going to take us?"
"Avalon." Shirley replied: "A legendary island."
Naili Shi actually knew about Avalon. She narrowed her eyes and said slowly:
"Is it the island in the Arthurian stories?"
"I heard my great-grandfather mention it before. He said that Avalon is surrounded by the sea, sea monsters and fog, and can only be reached by specific ships.
It is a mysterious paradise in the other world, guarded by the three powerful mermaid sisters, and the wizards on the island are immortal."
"Your great-grandfather knows so much." Luo Fu held the cup, looked at Nellie in surprise, and continued:
"There are various signs that we are heading towards that island now. Whether we can board it is not certain yet, but in order not to miss it, we need to take turns on duty on the ghost ship."
"It will be dark soon," said Luo Fu, "I will be on duty for the first shift... At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, Shirley, you will take over from me."
The ponytail girl nodded.
By the time they had filled their stomachs, the ceiling of the box was covered with stars, and a crescent moon was rising over the mountain.
Shirley took Nelisi to her room, and Rolf continued to sit by the bonfire, looking up at the starry sky. It was a clear, cold night, and the brilliance of the stars shone on the mountains.
The boy is still thinking about what happened during the day:
Whether it was the dragon-shaped beast calling him father or the ghost ship Inferi calling him king, they all confused him.
Luofu thought for a long time and decided to ask a guy who might be able to answer his questions.
The young man waved his magic wand, and a moment later, a box flew over from the wooden house. He opened the box and took out a skull from inside.
Last summer, Rolf went to Germany's Ockerstad Prison and helped Grindelwald retrieve the skull named Egg.
According to Grindelwald, Egg is the son of Scylla, the three mermaid sisters, who was taken away from Avalon by him.
In other words, Egg and the dragon-shaped beast named Iris are brothers.
The skull suddenly opened its mouth, making a crunching and vibrating sound, and then, two blood-red human eyes suddenly appeared in the empty eye sockets.
Those two eyes moved rapidly, then slowly stopped after a moment and looked towards the young man.
When Luofu was about to say hello, Egg stared at him and asked in a hoarse, smoky voice:
"You smell like my father...have you slept with my mother?!"
"..."

(Happy New Year everyone and all the best.
I’ve been very busy recently and I have a fever, so updates are too slow, sorry.)
