Lord Helanza

A slanting sun is about to fall on the ridge, and dusk is approaching.

The villagers who had been busy for a day rushed back to the village one after another, and the kobold slaves on the side of the river bend and tidal flats also returned to the shed at the entrance of the village. The steamer braved the steaming steam, and the top steamer was opened. Inside, there was a lot of cassava, a small amount of wheat bran and miscellaneous grains, and a bowl of salty vegetable soup. The kobold digging in the riverbed almost bit his tongue.

Obviously for a long time, Kobold slaves probably haven't eaten such delicious food.

The food on the construction site of the reservoir is obviously much better than that of the kobold slaves. Scones and multigrain porridge are paired with some pickled salty dried vegetables. This is in the spring when there is food shortage everywhere. It is the best meal that most villagers outside the mountain pass can eat. The bricklayers who made a sum of money in Wall Village last year waited until the frozen soil layer melted, and couldn't wait to get out of the villages, and forcibly advanced the second phase of the reservoir half a month.

The villagers of Wall Village gather on the village square. Every time a bonfire dinner is held, the whole village will gather here to wait for a bowl of fragrant mutton soup.

Two large iron pots were erected on the square in the center of the village. Five yellow sheep that had been peeled and washed were placed on a wooden pier. They were chopped into pieces of meat. Lamb is poured into an iron pan with boiling water, except for a little vanilla and shallots, almost nothing is added, and the aroma of the broth can drift far away.

In the past, this kind of bonfire dinner would only kill one sheep at a time. Since the village has exclusively occupied the Beigou pasture and the sulfur mines in the jiaobaoshan rocky area, the village has become richer. At each dinner party, the old village chief Bright asked the butcher who slaughtered sheep to kill two more. This time there were five. One was to catch the wind for Surdak, and the other was specially prepared for Ogre Gulitum.

In the village, Selena has the best skill in cooking lamb soup. Selena is responsible for cooking lamb soup every bonfire dinner party. She is standing next to the big iron pot with an apron, still looking graceful and graceful. As usual, her daughter Signa squatted next to the big iron pan, eagerly waiting for the fat yellow lamb in the soup pot, but Signa was no longer the skinny little girl last year. After a winter's nourishment, Her face turned red, and compared to other children in the village, Signa looked much quieter.

She doesn't like playing with children of the same age very much, she often hides in Selena's skirt habitually.

Signa turned her head and glanced at Surdak by the stove not far away, blinking her big eyes.

She didn’t understand what a Knight could cook...

With Rita’s help, Surdak wore an apron and stood beside an iron pan. Surrounded by villagers, even Rita and Natasha squeezed into the crowd watching Surdak curiously, and the village women were whispering and discussing spiritedly, and their eyes were full of doubts. They didn’t understand this extraction from cassava. What kind of delicacies can be made with the white sauce.

The boiling water in the pot keeps churn...

Surdak pours the water starch into the boiling water, and then uses a large wooden spoon to constantly stir in the iron pot , Until the water starch in the iron pan was stirred into a viscous translucent paste, with the help of Andrew, the big iron pan was removed from the stove.

Surdak feels that the most indispensable thing for food to become gourmet is to have a good story.

He put the big iron pot into the stone trough filled with water, and said to the surrounding villagers: "When I was doing military service on the plane of Warsaw, I went to a seaside town. The people over there are not only good at cooking seafood, but they also know how to extract this white starch from the roots of plants to make a variety of delicious foods. When I returned to Wall Village this time, I thought maybe cassava could do the same. , It seems... so far it should be considered a success, the next step is to cool down, wait until you can taste this delicious food."

"Should it be placed in cold water and let it cool? "Rita, standing in the crowd, asked Surdak.

She probably asked questions for the village women around her, and those village women now dare not follow looking towards a master Knight asking questions.

"Um..." Surdak nodded to Rita and replied.

When the stew in the iron pan has cooled down, Surdak uses a peeling squad to slice the stew and cut it into small cubes of one inch square. The cooked dough needs to be fried again. , It will be delicious. Surdak rubbed some mutton on the frying pan, cut the square-shaped stews side by side on the frying pan. After frying all six noodles to brown, sprinkle some vanilla and sauce on top of the frying pan. Just fell apart.

Of course, the impossible boiled in the iron pot of Surdak is enough for the whole village to eat, so he chose the children in the village to eat first. In the small wooden bowl, looking at those eyes full of expectation, Surdak felt that he was touched to the softest part of his heart. Among these children, there was little Peter and Signa, looking at the corners of their mouths. With the sauce, his eyes filled with wonder at the food, Surdak felt that his heart was completely melted.

Selena looked at Surdak bending over and using a spatula to distribute the food to the children with a focused face. Suddenly, she felt her heart filled.

...

It turns out that the toxins in cassava can be completely removed, and the starch in cassava can be extracted...

We will chat at dinner. The topic suddenly became a topic about cassava.

After that, the old village chief Bright gave the'About the method of refining and extracting cassava" to seal the word:

'Whoever dares to let this method of refining and extraction out of Wall Outside the village, they will be convicted of occupying Surdak Knight’s private property, when the time comes is the enemy of the whole village. 'Mr. Bright stood on the big rock in the middle of the village, facing a group of Wall villagers who were holding large wooden bowls, drinking mutton soup and eating wheat cakes, and solemnly warned:

"Tomorrow Let the coachmen in the carriage transport some more wheat bran back, and feed the cassava to this group of kobold slaves, which is simply a waste of food..." The old village chief Bright said to Charlie next to him.

"..."

Charlie was very speechless about father's two-sided words.

Village Chief Bright made a decision that night. From tomorrow on, the village will refine and extract a large amount of tapioca starch. No matter if these tapioca starches become one of the main food in the village in the future, they will still be sold to the city. , As long as this method of refining and extracting cassava starch does not leak, there will be huge profits in it.

……

After the dinner party, Surdak returned home early with ogre, half-elves, indigenous warrior and succubus.

The villagers are a little afraid of ogre Gulitem, and when they see him, they will unconsciously go far away. For the ogre Gulitem who likes to be reasonable, I don’t know the villagers. This kind of xenophobia will strike him, and he may be a little bit disappointed.

Some youngsters in the village wanted to see Samira’s face hidden under his hood, so they always approached Samira intentionally or unconsciously. Surdak was worried that Samira was impatient and shot an arrow. , When the time comes, it’s really hard to end.

As for Aphrodite, Surdak knew that her mana had not been lost. He was really worried that this descendant of Demon Race could not help but secretly charm a few villagers, when the time comes to make their family. Disharmony is also very troublesome.

Compared to others, Andrew is well integrated into the villagers. Little Peter likes to chat with Andrew very much and asks Andrew to teach him fighting skills.

Little Peter’s request, Andrew, is of course not easy to refuse.

So the native warrior Andrew stood in the yard, holding a big axe in his hand and teaching little Peter some simple fighting skills.

For this native warrior with the'Berserker Soul', there is no doubt that offense is the best defense. This is clearly the opposite theory to Surdak’s fighting skills on shield warriors, but I believe that little Peter in his grade probably doesn't understand these. What he needs most now is to lay the foundation.

Old Sheila sat at the door watching Andrew teach little Peter, her eyes showed eagerness.

Samira took an apple and soaked in a large wooden barrel in the bathroom with Aphrodite. The climate in Vojmara is not so dry, and there is almost half a month of time to go out. , Erecting the Knight Boundary Monument on Pustule Mountain, there is no chance to take a bath at all, this is simply unbearable for Samira who loves cleanliness. Succubus Aphrodite and Samira huddled together. When she was living in Prison World, she had a rare shower in many years. Now that she has the opportunity to enjoy it, she can’t wait to just sleep in the bathtub...

Gulitum ate a whole yellow sheep tonight and drank a big pot of mutton soup. His belly stretched round and he slept better than anyone in the cowshed by the wall. Old Sheila's cow was squeezed out of the cowshed, lying on the side chewing silently, staring at the ogre in the cowshed silently, with a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Surdak took the opportunity to get rid of everyone and slipped out of the yard.

I will return to Helanza city tomorrow. Tonight he wants to say goodbye to Selena. This time he returns to Wall Village. The two have not said a word yet.

……

Selena folded her apron, she handed the finishing work such as cleaning up the iron pot to a few village women, and then took Signa to leave the village square .

Become an assistant and clerk by the village chief Bright, Selena’s status in Wall Village has been significantly improved, and now no one in the village dares to talk coldly about her behind her back She knew that it was all because of Surdak standing behind her. It was this person who suddenly walked in front of her during her worst day and stretched out a strong and powerful hand to her, pulling her out of the nightmare and fear.

Selena lowered her head, thinking about the past in her heart as she walked, and she saw Surdak sitting under the chestnut tree when she walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"Why are you here!" Selena ran up to Surdak with a look of surprise.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Selena pulled Surdak into the courtyard.

The two people didn't care about the feeling of little Signa standing aside, and hugged each other tightly, until Selena felt a little suffocated, and the two separated.

At this time, Surdak was holding Selena’s white face, whispered: "I will return to Helanza tomorrow and rush to the guard camp to report. I can’t stay in the village for too long. I want to see you before I leave. Your side."

Selena's face flushed, Lake Blue's eyes were full of sweetness, and a faint smile hung on her lips.

As Selena looked at Surdak affectionately, she heard a cowardly whispered voice beside him: "Surdak, can you lend me this picture album for a look?"

Surdak lowered his head and took a look, only to realize that little Signa was holding the black magician Cyrus. Magical notes left by Hickok.

He didn't even know when he took this magic notebook. He should have kept it in his magic pocket before.

He couldn't bear to refuse the sensible and cowardly Signa.

stretched her hand and touched Signa’s head, and told her: "This is not an ordinary picture album. This is a very difficult to deal with magician's note. The illustration in it is Some magic patterns. If you feel dizzy looking at these patterns, you must stop, otherwise the magic backlash will bring some damage to your spiritual world. You will have a chance to awaken the magic pool when you are twelve years old. , I can’t be too careful..."

"I see." Little Signa smiled sweetly at Surdak.

Surdak and Selena couldn't wait to roll onto the bed without first seeing each other this time.

Signa sat next to the small wooden table in the room, flipping through the magic notes.

The page turned to the last page, Celia Cooper rolled her eyes secretly at Signa, and forced a blunt smile at the girl. She wanted to tell Surdak what the little demon in front of her was. How to treat myself, but thinking of the vow I was forced to make, I quickly closed my mouth subconsciously.

Surdak and Selena talked about some stories that happened in Helanza in winter, and some experiences in Vojmara, Selena could hear with keen interest pleasure.

When he heard that the Marquis of Luther wrote a letter of recommendation for Surdak, Selena covered her mouth in surprise and said:

"So, you might be promoted to Noble?"

Surdak held Selena's soft hand and said:

"There may be some chances, it is because I can perceive the magical elements of the sacred attribute."

Selena pursed her lips, put her hand on his face and rubbed it, and said:

"That adult recommended you to be a nobleman, I am afraid that I will see you in the future. For my cronies and to further stabilize the relationship between you, I will inevitably give you a noble wife in the future."

Surdak was slightly taken aback:

"I have a wife. Isn't it?"

Selena laughed and did not speak.

Surdak is lying halfway on Selena’s round and elastic thighs, looking up at her delicate face, and asking her: "Would you like to go to Helanza with me?"

Selina didn’t expect Surdak to send out such an invitation. She slightly startled and then chuckled and said: "Me? Forget it, maybe I will definitely check it if I have a chance in the future, but not now. I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, I have a really good time here, why should I risk going to Helanza City?"

Seeing Selena’s refusal, Surdak didn’t say more .

The two chatted for a long time before leaving Selena's residence reluctantly.

Walking on the gravel road in the village, and the cool night breeze blowing on his face, Surdak unexpectedly gave birth to many feelings...

The meeting that I just woke up from the battlefield Son, Surdak often thinks about the meaning of living in this strange world.

Later, his first change of thinking was when he followed the second squad to the battlefield. At that time, he felt that fighting with his companions was the meaning of life.

Later, I felt that living in a small village in a rural area might be the meaning of life. When Surdak stepped into Wall Village, I met old Sheila, Rita, and Natasha. With little Peter, it has become the meaning of life to give his family a better life, and now Surdak feels that the value of his existence is to bring a rich life to the whole village of Wall...

lifts the head looked at the starry night sky, his handsome young face seemed to be smiling and waving at him in the night sky.

Then it turns into countless stars and dissipates in the night sky...
