In the restaurant, Elaine stared at a large piece of "fried fish" that had been cut in front of her in a daze.
That thing is just like the famous (notorious) fish nuggets in Great Britain, maybe even worse. It has no shape of fish at all, and no smell that fish meat should have. It is just a piece of frozen fish meat that has been stored for an unknown period of time.
It's something that's deep-fried. To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of fried protein. If it's a piece of fish, it's impossible to enjoy it.
The plate of fried fish pieces was dotted with some green mash-like stuff, which seemed to be vegetables. However, it had been frozen and then recooked, so it was so mushy that it was impossible to recognize what kind of dish it was.
"Is this a fish?" the white lion boy couldn't help complaining.
"It's fried fish nuggets, what's the problem?" The big sailor who delivered the lunch rolled his eyes at Elaine: "You don't have to eat it if you don't want to eat it. There is no one here who makes special meals for the delicate orcs."
What the hell is "delicate body but expensive flesh"? Elaine wondered. Is this some kind of irony, is it intended to say that the status of orcs is very low? Although it is expected that he will be discriminated against by humans when he travels, but this is too...
...a little outrageous?
"Want to eat fish?" Queeg came over and asked, "Fresh?"
"No, don't tell me you want to go fishing." Elaine said angrily: "You still want to cook? Here?"
"Be right back." Quigg ignored Elaine's complaints, quickly finished his fish steak, and moved to the deck of the ship.
Elaine was too lazy to pay attention to Queeg. He took out a small magic fire to extract the photons from the fish steak (if he didn't do this, he would vomit after eating it), and then ate the thing that didn't look like a fish steak at all. Then
The food can be said to be quite unpalatable. Elaine can't taste it, so she doesn't know how salty it is. However, the texture of the piece of fried fish itself is very bad. Chewing it in her mouth feels like chewing an expired piece.
Like the fat pork, which is full of inferior fat. Elaine resisted spitting it out, but after choking, he couldn't help but complained: "It tastes worse than pig food."
"What did you say?! -" His quiet complaint was actually heard. A very casual-looking, rude and rude sailor came over and wanted to cause trouble for Elaine.
Elaine had no intention of apologizing, and he even wanted to fight with the other party. However, this was someone else's ship, and he might be kicked off the ship if he made any trouble. He thought about how to deal with this matter.
"I'm sorry." Unexpectedly, Queeg came over to smooth things over at this time: "My brother is ignorant. Don't blame him."
"You're not sensible!" Elaine said angrily. However, he was quite surprised that Queeg came back so quickly. Queeg even came back with a big fish. God knows how that guy did it within a few minutes.
Caught fresh fish.
Quigg pulled away from the sailor and didn't know what he said to the man. Elaine seemed to have seen from a distance that Quigg put gold coins into the sailor's hand, and he probably wanted to bribe him. The guy was so jealous when he saw the money that he immediately
Stop making trouble.
"Remember it!" However, he still glared at Elaine fiercely before turning and walking away.
"It's okay." After Queeg asked the sailors over there to calm down, he turned to Elaine and said, "Wait a moment. Lunch will be ready soon."
Elaine covered her face.
Then Queeg talked with the crew for a while, and seemed to be really allowed to use the ship's kitchen. Ten minutes later, the clouded leopard man came back with a plate of hot fried fish nuggets.
"It's been dealt with," Queeg said. The "processed" he meant was naturally using a small magic fire to remove the photons from the food so that Elaine could eat it.
Elaine glanced at the plate of food with disgust. It was obviously made from fresh fish, and it was very different from the chilled fish pieces just now. Elaine almost had the illusion that the fried fish pieces were still on the plate.
Jumping like a living fish.
Queeg's cooking skills are actually pretty good, as Elaine can tell from Queeg's previous dishes. But no matter how good the cooking skills are, no matter how fresh the ingredients are, and no matter how delicious the food is, it doesn't matter - Elaine also tastes it anyway.
There is no taste. For Elaine now, eating is just a means to avoid starving to death, and it is an act of fulfilling a task.
It’s nothing special. Elaine thought this while taking a bite of the fried fish nuggets.
Sure enough, there was no smell.
However, although there was no taste, the aroma of fish meat was coming to my nostrils. The meat of the unknown fish, although it could not be tasted, had an extremely tender texture, which was similar to the crispiness of the bread crumbs on the outside.
The golden brown and crispy outer layer creates a sharp contrast.
Although it has no taste, there is an inexplicable sense of pleasure in eating it. It is the same as eating tasteless snacks when you are greedy. Even if the snacks have no taste, as long as they are crunchy and you can chew them to your heart's content.
Although she said she was disgusted, Elaine finished it quickly. Cutting the fried fish pieces into pieces and putting them in her mouth, it was really like eating snacks, and she ate them very elegantly. Eating elegantly is not
Elaine's original intention, but this way you can chew slowly and enjoy the crispy chewiness of the fried fish pieces to the maximum extent.
There seemed to be a lot of people watching Elaine. Or maybe they had been watching since Elaine complained that the fish nuggets were pig food. His behavior might have been out of line. If it were Elaine from before.
, I am afraid that at this time, he is already trembling and afraid of other people's eyes. But strangely, he doesn't care now. Maybe it's because there are so few people who care about the things in this world, and he doesn't care about the rest.
Since he doesn't care about others, he naturally doesn't need to care about what others think of him.
"Delicious?" Leopard asked expectantly.
"Better, slightly better than pig food." Elaine put down her knife and fork and said.
Queeg didn't pay attention, and even had a smile on his face. Elaine felt the cold gaze cast from unknown place. It must be hurtful for him to say this, because he behaved like a spoiled young master.
It looks like that. There must be someone on the ship who doesn't like it.
In addition to the passengers who bought tickets and took the boat out, the people on this ship were refugees from Cairo. And the people who boarded the ship were basically middle-class citizens, neither the upper class nor the poor at the bottom of society.
The captain of the [Osprey] refused to accept refugees from the bottom of society on board, because such people would definitely make the ship dirty and messy, even with ** financial subsidies. Most of the poor people in Cairo were on board.
The same principle applies to warships taking refuge under the control of soldiers.
However, it happens to be these middle-class people who can't stand Elaine's attitude the most.
"I'm going back, I'm going back to rest." The white lion boy didn't want to be the same as those present, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute," Queeg said, then wiped the corners of Elaine's mouth with a tissue.
"Tsk..." Elaine felt a little unhappy that she was being treated like a child, so she walked away quickly.
"Have a good rest." The young leopard man said, "I'll collect the clothes."
The clothes collected refer to Elaine's clothes that were dyed before. Did those clothes dry so quickly? Could they have been placed near the power furnace and dried directly with the heat?
Although he cared about it, Elaine didn't want to continue to have anything to do with Queeg. He walked quickly back to the cabin and planned to continue sleeping - in short, to get rid of the hangover feeling.
However, when he said goodbye to Queeg and reached the corner of the lower cabin, he suddenly heard some strange noise.
"Here it is, little brother." That voice was obviously tempting Elaine to come over, with bad intentions.
Elaine was not stupid and knew to mind his own business. He ignored the voice and walked directly to his cabin.
However, he found that the room was already in a mess. Someone deliberately made trouble and rummaged through his luggage. Although there was nothing particularly valuable in the luggage, Elaine took all the valuables with him and hid them in his tactical belt; however, he
All his clothes were taken away, and even his personal clothes were not spared.
... Queeg took the remaining clothes and dyed them. Maybe the clothes over there were also murdered.
"It's really, really outrageous." Elaine said angrily. He heard the sound of running outside the cabin and was about to chase the perpetrator out to seek justice.
However, as soon as he ran out of the door lock, a hand suddenly stretched out from around the corner and covered Elaine's mouth with a rag.
"Huh?!" The white lion man's whole body trembled. Before he could struggle, another pair of hands tightly hugged his shoulders from both sides.
A strange smell came from the rag, it must be some kind of powerful drug.
It stands to reason that Elaine's other transformations have good resistance to drugs and will not be affected by drugs so easily. But the current lion-man transformation happens to be an exception, and it belongs to the orc tribe that is resistant to drugs.
The weaker secret medicine took effect very quickly, and Elaine felt weak all over and his eyesight turned black. By the time he thought of changing into other forms to resist the medicine, it was already too late. He suddenly lost it.
the ability to resist.
"Hehehehehe -" Several figures walked out of the darkness of the corridor. One of them picked up Elaine who fell to the ground and sneered obscenely: "A snow-white lion man is really a rare commodity. He must be able to sell it for a good price."
Rare item? Sell it at a good price?
Elaine was vaguely aware of how bad things were.
This [Osprey] is a passenger ship on the surface, but secretly it is a slave ship. No wonder there are so few passengers on this ship, and the ship sails extremely slowly - as if it is carrying several times the current
Passengers. No wonder the ship would risk sailing from Cairo at this time. They were actually eager to transport the slaves hidden in the bottom of the cabin to Cairo.
Got on a pirate ship.
That idiot Queeg actually booked a ticket on this kind of ship!
The second before Elaine's vision turned black and she completely lost her will, she still kept thinking about cursing Queeg. After he recovered and got out of this predicament, he must give Queeg a good beating.
At the same time, the ship's power room.
"That's it -" Quigg took off the clothes hanging there one by one. Elaine's white short-sleeved clothes were dyed a uniform dark cobalt blue. This color can cover up blood stains and is consistent with Elaine's white clothes.
The lion hair is quite matching.
"Do you like it?" The cloud-patterned leopard wagged its tail, "It's good if you like it."
While Queeg was concentrating on collecting the clothes, someone quietly approached and moved a rag to Queeg's neck——
