Chapter 107 107. "Gift" and the Forbidden Iron
Brand-new ingredients brought Croa an unforgettable novel experience.
Although now the only ones that are ripe and edible are the pine nuts of the red flame pine, the Torna blood pomegranate, the burning peppers and the flame cherries.
There isn’t even a serious staple food in it, it’s all fruits, nuts and condiments.
But Croya, who has long been tortured by all kinds of fish soup, bread and crude food, really needs these things to refresh himself.
Especially the roasted peppers.
This deep red chili pepper, which looks like a palm-sized dumpling, exudes its own sense of presence all the time.
Chili! Eat spicy food!
He used to be happy with anything spicy, but after eating it, he would get angry and feel upset in his stomach.
But for Croya today, his strength has already ensured that he will not suffer from embarrassing stomach pains or toothaches even if he eats any spicy food.
The magic strengthened his body, allowing him to eat ingredients that would be considered poison to ordinary people more freely.
When he saw this chili pepper, he almost immediately thought of several dishes that needed to be fried with chili peppers - although there are chili peppers on the island, how can ordinary plants be compared with magic plants?
It’s about excitement!
“I wonder how it tastes.”
He waved his hand impatiently, and the mage’s hand immediately flew out and began the process of making food.
The aroma of cooking soon came from the castle terrace.
The main food today is various dishes made with roasted peppers, fried pine nuts, pomegranates and flame cherries.
The pine nuts have already gone through a series of treatments and only need to be fried before they are ready to eat.
This is not difficult for Croya, who has become more and more skilled in using the magic hand. Even if he is frying pine nuts and peeling pomegranates while cooking, there is no problem at all.
Using both distraction and distraction, he looked down at the football-sized pomegranate in his hand while paying attention there.
"This is really big. I wonder how it tastes."
He licked his lips and began to peel it off seriously.
As soon as I broke it open, the pomegranate seeds inside couldn't wait to fall out. Each one was like a ruby, crystal clear and as beautiful as a work of art.
"Blood pomegranate, it should refer to this color." Croya reached out and picked up a handful, threw them all into his mouth and chewed them carefully.
It feels really good to eat pomegranate seeds.
As soon as it enters the mouth and is chewed gently, the sweet and sour juice that is unique to pomegranate bursts out, but when chewing the pomegranate seeds, there is an extremely faint, rusty taste. appeared.
The taste is not unpleasant, but it has a wonderful feeling that the more you eat it, the more you become addicted. The seeds are also soft and can be broken into pieces with a little chewing.
His entire mouth was filled with blood-like juice, coupled with the smell of rust, no wonder it was called a blood pomegranate.
"Is the iron content excessive? Is there iron ore under the tree?"
"Then I have to get some iron ore."
While thinking, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and continued to peel the pomegranate with interest.
I don’t know what’s going on, but the sunflower elf who has been staring at him suddenly screams "beep babbling".
It was originally burning with red and orange light, more like it was on fire.
It glared at the pomegranate, flew back and reached out to pluck the sunflower seeds from its flower plate, and presented them to Croya as a treasure—both red and orange sunflower seeds.
There are more than a dozen of each type.
The sunflower seeds produced by this elemental magic plant are entirely composed of magic power. You don’t even need to crack them open, you can just eat them directly.
"Uh..."
Looking at its expression, Croya immediately knew what was going on. It must have felt that it was eating other things instead of its sunflower seeds.
“You can be jealous.”
Cloya could only take it helplessly, and ate the sunflower seeds cleanly under its gaze. Put the pomegranates away.
Then he praised: "Sure enough, your sunflowers are still delicious!"
"Hey!" The sunflower elf was satisfied and floated to Croya's shoulder, just like that.
It itself is a special form composed of elemental magic, so it is naturally soft and soft like slime, and really turns into a pool of "sunflowers".
Kloya glanced at it and thought that he should put away the pine nuts for a while.
He used his mage's hands to bring boiled fish, spicy fish, spicy fried clams and other freshly cooked dishes in front of him.
Then we began to feast.
It goes without saying that these ingredients are all the freshest and top quality, and only some simple but effective seasonings are added.
The roasted pepper and other spices did not cover up the original flavor of the fish at all. On the contrary, it was completely stimulated by the magic power of fire.
The umami and spicy taste seemed to be exploding in Croya's mouth, so delicious that he could swallow his own tongue.
“Hi ha ha ha ha!”
He couldn't help but gasp.
The so-called spicy food means that it should be spicy and eaten continuously. The more you eat, the better you will feel.
Chloë is happily enjoying his dinner here.
However,
After a while, King Mu Yaoqu Teng suddenly asked him for instructions: "Master, at the dock of Hanjiao Island, Baron Kemoye and the Seliu merchant met.
“Do you want them to enter the island on the teleportation circle? "
Its vines have not expanded to that position, but the teleportation circle has a dedicated person responsible for guarding it. Once there is an important situation, it will be transmitted back through the circle.
A baron came to visit. For For the people watching over there, it’s certainly an important event.
“Huh? "Kloya slowed down his meat-picking movements slightly and glanced at the half-dark sky.
"He is still alive. ”
"That's quite a coincidence. These two people actually met... But no one can know about the teleportation circle."
Since they are coming, let them come by boat. "After saying that, he continued to enjoy his food. Nothing can stop him from enjoying life now. As for the baron and the businessman, let's wait until they come over.
"Okay. "
Mu Yao Qu Teng King also fell silent.
...
About half an hour later.
Baron Kemoye looked confused.
He couldn't help but look back at the man who was tightly bound by the iron chain in the cage.
He never thought that a businessman whom he had nothing to support could actually convey the will of the young master of the Northern Territory Traveling Family
I also want to give Master Croya a "gift".
Although he extremely doubted that this "person" could really be used as a gift?
He didn't dare to ask any more questions at all, for fear that it would involve some secret that he couldn't understand. At this point, he was quite cautious.
Curiosity is curiosity, but I won’t get to the bottom of it.
He knows that it is safe not to know some things.
With such doubts, under the leadership of Rob, he temporarily entered the renovated Lotus Guest House to wait.
At this time, the guest house has been connected to the magic power as an energy source, the interior is brightly lit, and a total of twenty different rooms have been separated as temporary lounges.
After entering the bright room from the dark sea, the Baron felt a lot more at ease.
"As expected of Master Croya, this is a magic lamp."
He raised his head and looked at the lamp on the ceiling, amazed.
Then, I looked around at this room, and to be honest, it was far less luxurious than his place.
But both the beds and tables and chairs are very clean and tidy, covered with white tablecloths and sheets, simple but very comfortable to look at.
Of course it can be used as a lounge temporarily.
He sat here patiently and waited.
……
The other side.
Chloë was actually meeting with the businessman Seliu, because he was very interested in the gift from the so-called young master who traveled in the Northern Territory.
So I gave priority to meeting the businessman.
As a result, when he saw the cage being carried in, he was stunned for two seconds.
Then, he pointed at the person in the cage and said calmly: "Is this the gift that the young master asked you to give me?"
one person! A naked man!
A few days ago, he heard about the victims from Huan Ling Yun Snake, and one of them was actually brought alive under his eyes.
The question is what use does he need this person for? The most worthless thing in this world is human life, let alone such a "torture victim".
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone unconsciously.
"Yes." Seliu was a little frightened, his fat face covered with sweat: "Master Olivier asked me to tell you that he is a very special existence among the tortured people, and you will definitely be interested. "
Cloya: "..."
So I really hate the Riddler.
Just give a gift and keep half of it. Why on earth would I be interested in this guy?
So what is the reason?
After thinking about it, Croya asked: "Did he know my identity?"
Seliu shook his head: "No, I didn't tell him, and Master Olivier didn't continue to ask. He just said that he would give this gift to you."
"Furthermore, he also said that he would give it to you in the near future. I'm leaving. I hope you can give me some more sunflower seeds."
"What did he want to pay for it?" If he is willing to give me something good, of course he is willing to continue. supply.
"..." Seliu was silent for a moment, then said cautiously: "He said he could give you more of these victims."
"..."
This is the second time today that Croya is silent.
Why are you so confident that I will definitely want these victims?
He simply waved his hand: "You can stay here now and leave tomorrow."
He wanted to carefully study what was different about this tortured person that could make him The other party was so determined to exchange for his sunflower seeds.
The businessman was immediately relieved, saluted quickly and left.
After he left, Croya stood up and came to the edge of the cage, stretched out his hand and touched the cage.
My fingertips immediately felt a slight numbness, as if the flow of magic power was forced to slow down for a moment by some force.
Kloya frowned and said: "Well, this is the magic-forbidden iron."
The so-called magic-forbidden iron is a special metal that can block the flow of magic. It is said that there are only a very small number of magic iron. It is only found in crystal rich minerals.
They also have levels. The one in front of Croya is obviously the lowest level, and other metals are added, which at most can slow down the flow of magic power for a moment.
If the legendary highest-grade magic-forbidden iron could even form a natural magic circle, mages within the range would be completely unable to cast spells.
It is worth mentioning that the Mage Association hates the forbidden magic iron.
If Croya reports this news, there will definitely be big bosses in the association protesting to the Royal Palace Interior Office.
Even the young master of the Northern Territory Traveling Family must be held accountable.
It exists privately, and no one can stop it, but if you take it out in a big way, the Mage Association will definitely explode.
So...
"Show me the magic-forbidden iron by a mage... Are you giving the handle to me? Are you so sure that this person can satisfy me?"
His interest and curiosity were indeed aroused, and he planned to take a closer look to see what magic there was.
