Under the guidance of the girl, and after spending some effort, the members of the exploration team finally carried the wild boar to a small cabin at the edge of the forest.
The cabin is not the kind of house that is inhabited for a long time, but more like a temporary resting place.
But behind the cabin, I found a fence and a lot of dried food... It looked like someone had lived there for a long time.
Mr. Asaches had to ask doubtfully: "Isn't this wild boar going to be taken back to the village?"
"Why take it back to the village?" the girl Jeanne asked.
Mr. Asaches said matter-of-factly: "Such a big wild boar can be eaten for a long time, right? Are you not a hunter in the village...or a hunter's daughter?"
The girl Jeanne said calmly: "There is no shortage of food in the village, even meat."
Mr. Livar couldn't help but frowned as he listened, "Then why does this wooden house store so many... um, supplies?"
"Personal hobby." The girl shrugged, "I have always been in the habit of hunting, but my family is not used to this hobby of mine. In order to prevent my family from knowing, I can't bring the prey home, so I can only store it here.
, as time goes by, there will be more things.”
Are you a hamster after hoarding so much food?
Although Mr. Azashes really wanted to ask this question, he decided to speak less after thinking about the girl's terrifying archery skills.
"What about this wild boar?" Mr. Lival asked tentatively.
The girl said: "I won't go out hunting recently. Let's dry this wild boar first, otherwise there will be problems here next time I come here... You guys should also come and help."
This seems to be a very straightforward girl. Although she looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, she is really neat.
Hey!!
Mr. Asaches couldn't help but shrink his neck because he saw with his own eyes that the girl shook her body and lifted the big axe, and then used inertia and some skills to directly chop off the wild boar's head...
…bloodletting.
Whether it is the boss of [Rose Mansion] or the secretary to the campus president of [Free City Academy], he is from a scholarly family, but he has never seen such a bloody scene?
The bloodletting scene aroused a lot of comfort, and the two gentlemen ducked away with ugly faces.
But although the girl seemed to be very thin, she seemed to have no difficulty in slaughtering the wild boar, and she could even be said to be quite skilled.
But this wild boar is indeed too big, and it is not comparable to the small animals hanging for drying behind the house.
"It seems that we have to come here again tomorrow to marinate the meat first. It's a pity that the pig blood...it seems we have to throw it away."
The girl quickly took out some pickling ingredients from the wooden house and started tinkering with it... Boss Luo helped without saying anything during the whole process.
The girl unexpectedly discovered that the guy who looked the quietest and most aristocratic among the three was actually the one who knew how to do these chores best among the three, and the degree of completion exceeded her expectations, and he could even be said to be quite good.
?
As for the eldest of the three, Azaches, who looked a bit slovenly, was barely doing it... The guy who called himself Livar really stretched his crotch, and he was obviously a guy who had never worked before.
The girl has her own observations and speculations.
They didn't look like travelers sleeping rough.
But this young man named Mr. Luo really knows a lot of survival skills in the wild... It's really strange that this is the first time she has seen someone make a fire so quickly, even faster than the original owner of this cabin.
many.
Seeing that he couldn't help much, Livar simply walked around the cabin and came back.
"You seem to be looking for something." The girl who was marinating meat suddenly looked up at Livar who came back and asked.
Asaxes winked at this time, and Mr. Lival said: "One of our companions is missing. I wonder if you have noticed that besides us, there are traces of others moving in the forest."
"Missing?" The girl immediately stopped what she was doing, frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"
Mr. Asaches said quickly: "It should have been around two or three in the morning. He was suddenly stimulated by something, and some of them ran away at once. It was just that it was too dark at the time, and we didn't see the direction he was walking clearly.
If I can wait until daybreak to search, I will meet you next."
"I didn't see the companion you mentioned." The girl shook her head, and then said calmly: "But the forest at night is very dangerous. If you still can't find it, you may have to be mentally prepared... It's dark, you shouldn't go out.
, the world outside the village is very dangerous."
"The world outside the village?" Boss Luo suddenly asked curiously.
The girl pointed to the forest behind her, and then to a mountain peak on the other side, connecting them in a line. "The old man in the village said that there is a terrible demon living in this area, which will come out at night and eat people."
"demon?"
Livar and Asaches couldn't help but look at each other.
Mr. Asaches frowned and said: "So, because of this legend, you have been trapped in the village and cannot go out?"
The girl said calmly: "I think you understand that there are some problems, which may be due to a lack of intelligence... What I said is that you only go out at night, and I didn't say you can't do it during the day. Aren't you guys from outside...
Why are you looking at me like this?"
At the end of her speech, the girl Jeanne couldn't help but look at Luo Qiu, and saw that Boss Luo's face looked a little strange at this time... and seemed to have some strange emotions.
Boss Luo smiled and said that the way the girl spoke reminded him of a friend.
The girl Jeanne didn't pay attention and simply said: "You can be mentally prepared. People who disappear at night may really disappear."
"Why do you say that?" Boss Luo asked.
The girl said: "This house originally belonged to an old hunter. Then one day, he walked into the forest at night and never came back."
"Perhaps he just left this place?" Asaches thought for a moment and said, "He just doesn't want you to know?"
The girl did not answer, but looked at Azaches indifferently.
This made Mr. Asaches start to think about whether he had said something wrong again, which made the other party think that there was something wrong with his intelligence.
Damn it, I think back then I was also a handsome man from [Free City Academy] who was as famous as Ludik!
Boss Luo said casually at this time: "Miss Jeanne, your hunting skills should be inherited from that old hunter."
The girl hummed softly, and then said: "This wild boar should be dealt with for a while. If you are hungry, just find food for yourself. Anyway, the food in the house is still there, but I didn't
I'll do it for you, so you can do it yourself, and you can also use the tools in the house."
The girl's attitude changed so quickly that Mr. Asaches rolled his eyes.
"Then we're welcome." Boss Luo smiled, his eyes already looking at an iron stew pot placed outside the wooden house.
…
…
"It's very early today, Mr. Hank!"
"Good morning to you, madam. May the saints bless you, my lady."
"May the saints bless you too, sir."
In a corner of the streets of the Holy City, greetings of peace are being performed.
The man looked quite elegant, like a scholar, but Hank's identity was a registered doctor at a nearby clinic, and he currently lived alone in this woman's small rental building.
Mr. Hank looks like he is getting ready to go to work.
He politely greeted the acquaintances he met on the road, finally got on the tram and left the residential area.
High up between the buildings, there were three eyes at this moment, silently watching the whereabouts of Mr. Hank, the young man in white, and the two senior angels under the young man in white.
"It is understood that this guy named Hank immigrated from the [Old Testament Capital], one of the seven capitals... about five years ago in the Kingdom of Holy Light."
The female angel's voice was clear at this time: "After he came to the [Free City], he quickly passed the medical examination and opened a private clinic nearby. According to the log records of the Destiny System, the guy whose body spontaneously combusted last night
, after being introduced by someone, I finally got the medicine from Hank’s clinic.”
"The capital of the Old Testament?" The young man in white frowned.
The female angel quickly said: "Maybe it's just a cover-up of identity... Just open Hank's destiny system and take a look, and it will be clear at a glance."
The young man in white nodded and said calmly: "Follow me."
…
…
"smell good!"
Mr. Assassis took a deep breath. At this moment, the aroma of food that he had never smelled came from the iron stew pot.
Obviously he recognizes all the ingredients chosen by the residents of this mansion, but after making the finished food, he doesn't recognize it anymore!
"Which city's food is this from?" Mr. Asaches couldn't help but be extremely curious.
He felt that if he could learn it, the kitchen of [Rose Mansion] might be able to be upgraded to a higher level in the future.
Boss Luo smiled and said casually: "I learned from Master Liu at a place called Juxia downstairs."
"Ju... What building is Ju?"
"Ju come downstairs."
"Where is this chrysanthemum downstairs?" Mr. Asaches said with great interest.
Boss Luo smiled and said: "To be specific, it is not within the scope of Qidu, it is somewhere east of the Kingdom of Holy Light."
"That's a pity." Asaches shook his head with a pity expression on his face, "If I have the chance, I really want to visit this amazing chef."
In the Kingdom of Holy Light, although all towns are built around the Seven Capitals, this is more like the result of the Seven Capitals' continuous outward expansion over a long period of time.
However, in fact, at the junction of the Seven Capitals, or in areas farther away than the official records of the Seven Capitals, there are still some believers in the Holy Light, but they are not included in the areas managed by the Seven Capitals.
Very few people know these things.
When they were young, Asaches and Ludik traveled with their teachers and arrived at such a settlement before gaining such an understanding.
These places also believe in the Holy Light, but they do not have a fixed belief in any one of the Seven Capitals... They basically directly believe in the [Heavenly Father].
"Well, this scent is really special. Do you have any tips?" Mr. Asaches sighed again.
"It's onions, I added onions."
When the pot was removed, the aroma of the food instantly reached its strongest state. Even the girl Jeanne, who had been working silently, couldn't help but stop at this time.
At this time, Boss Luo used the wooden bowls found in the house to divide the food in the stew pot and distributed it to everyone.
Azaches and Livar are really hungry... Thinking about their experiences from last night to now, it is true that they have not eaten well, and they are not devouring it, but they have refilled their bowls as they eat.
"Miss Jeanne, you should also take a rest." Boss Luo brought a bowl of broth to the girl's side, and a wet towel to wipe his palms.
The girl's eyes brightened slightly, she took the wet towel and said, "You are very attentive."
Boss Luo smiled and said: "Because there is always a very careful person taking care of me, so I have learned a lot."
The girl said: "You look like a young master from a noble family...are they your entourage?"
From the beginning, this girl never asked about the identities of the three members of the exploration team... Only then did she ask.
Boss Luo said: "It's just someone I met while traveling, and I haven't known him for a long time."
The girl held the bowl, took a small sip, and then squinted her eyes, as if feeling the changes in her taste buds, "It's really amazing food... Then, why do you want to approach me on purpose?"
This was said somewhat suddenly.
Boss Luo immediately felt that the girl suddenly became more defensive... He smiled casually and said: "I told you, you are somewhat similar to a friend I know."
The girl frowned, and as if by mistake, even she herself was a little surprised and said: "Male or female?"
"She is a beautiful woman." Boss Luo said softly.
The girl Jeanne was noncommittal, but she seemed to have no interest in talking. After taking a few more sips of the broth, she suddenly said: "This broth is really amazing when you first taste it, but the taste is too strong. Drink too much before eating anything else."
Maybe you can’t even taste the meat... It’s a bit overbearing.”
Boss Luo didn't care much, but thought for a while and asked: "Miss Jeanne, according to this progress, can you return to the village before dark."
The girl thought for a while and said: "If you just want to exchange for some supplies, I can give you some food in this house. There is no need to go to the village. If it is to inquire about your missing companion, I will give you some as soon as possible.
Bar."
"Can you tell me more about the legend of the forest demon?" Boss Luo asked again.
"Why are you interested in this?" the girl asked curiously.
Boss Luo said casually: "I am a traveler, so I am interested in interesting things I see on the road. Maybe one day in the future, I can write all my life's experiences into a book."
The girl said expressionlessly: "You don't think legends about demons are interesting."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Then it's okay to write it as a bedtime story."
What kind of bedtime story would be written as a devil's story?
The girl couldn't help but look at this guy with a strange expression... This guy looked very much like a noble man.
The girl shook her head, thought for a while and then said: "It is said that there is a strange lake deep in the forest, and there is a magic sword hidden in the lake, and this demon exists as the guardian of the magic sword..."
Amidst the permeating aroma of food, the girl slowly talked about the legend that had been circulating in her village for many years.
