Chapter 138: Braised mirage clams in white wine
“Miracle clams?”
Crane Doyle rubbed his big beard and stared at the extremely real adult blue dragon in the sky, his lips trembling slightly: < br>
“Baron Yeats, are you really sure?”
The roar of the blue dragon echoed in the gloomy sky, and its huge body cast a shadow on Yeats and his party on the cliff.
The silver-haired boy stood on the edge of a cliff blown by the strong wind, with a glimmer of confidence in his eyes.
"Miracles usually live on the coast and have the ability to create mirages, which are 'mirages'."
Like a detective who found the murderer, Yeats began to explain on the spot:
“When the jellyfish opens its shell, it releases a strange airflow, creating a mirage, and uses this feature to hunt prey.”
“When the jellyfish feels threatened, it will also use 'Mirage' to protect itself."
"It once again projected the blue dragon illusion to the present, and this mirage... just needs to catch the mirage, and it will be destroyed without any attack!"
Crane Doyle keenly discovered , as Yeats said.
The blue dragon under the canopy just repeated fixed actions without causing any damage at all.
His stiff face softened a little, and admiration surged in his heart involuntarily.
‘He is calm and able to judge things calmly. Isn’t this kind of person the Ghost Society’s dream member? ’
On the other side.
The slim masked woman, the mask is constantly glowing with silver brilliance.
Daisy racked her brains, trying to decipher this illusion.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't feel any trace of illusion from this blue dragon!
"Is that boy's illusion skills really better than mine?" Daisy was a little lost.
At this time.
She saw the silver-haired boy jumping down from a seaside cliff about thirty meters high.
Huh~
The young man landed lightly, and amidst the angry roar of the blue dragon, he approached Qianhai without changing his expression.
This method surprised Daisy a little.
Immediately.
The boy took out a small piece of metal, stretched it into the shape of a fishing rod, and threw the rod casually.
The Saint of the Mist, Daisy, was surprised and surprised.
"Why is he starting to catch fish now!?"
On the beach.
The Manticore Mercenary Group was just thankful that not long after, another adult blue dragon came out.
The morale of many mercenaries was on the verge of collapse, and Helga, the leader of the group, was a little discouraged.
At this moment, the silver-haired boy jumped down from the cliff. This move made Helga look startled.
More than thirty meters tall, even the Feather Falling Technique cannot resolve the impact. Only the ability to fly can explain the boy's actions just now!
However, it seems that at such a young age, he has already mastered the flying ability that is difficult for even experts to learn?
Helga looked intently and saw big waves washing on the beach. The sky was gloomy and a heavy rain was brewing. A huge wave crashed over and wet the boy all over.
He held the fishing rod in his hand, and the rod was stretched like a bow. The tough fishing line glowing with mana seemed to have hooked some creature, and slowly dragged it to the shore!
The illusion of the blue dragon in the sky has disappeared at some point.
This is undoubtedly inseparable from the young man’s performance!
The members of the Manticore Mercenary Group all opened their eyes wide and held their breath, staring intently at the tugging and fighting between the silver-haired boy and the creatures under the sea.
finally.
The young man seized the opportunity and suddenly raised the pole.
A huge shell about two arms wide was caught by the boy, and it made a sand pit on the beach!
Everyone in the Manticore Mercenary Group was shocked: "What a big clam!"
At the same moment.
The body of Daisy, the Saint of the Mist, trembled, and her tone was filled with disbelief:
“It’s not an illusion, but the mirage that created the blue dragon illusion?”
Does she recognize the mirage? Yes, but she had a preconceived notion that the divine envoy was provoking her with illusions, and for a while she couldn't think of the reason why.
Daisy couldn't help but start thinking: "Could it be that...that boy borrowed the mirage on purpose to trick me?"
Remembering that she had analyzed the illusion just now, Daisy There was shame in my heart, and I secretly thought that it was not good, even I was actually being fooled!
"Tch, the method is not bad." Daisy spat lightly, "Beside Lake Ness, look at me if I don't save my face!"
The mist wrapped around her slim body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
‘Mistweaver’ Airal contacted Daisy several times but did not get a response from Daisy. He thought to himself that the saint might have been hit by the envoy of God!
“The oracle of the Goddess of Mist will be sent down on the Holy Festival of Mist. I don’t know if the envoy of the God knows about this news.” Airal said to himself: “I still stay here and look for opportunities to meet the God. Let the adults contact you..."
The mirage was caught by Yeats on the beach.
The clouds have dissipated and the sea breeze is warm.
Klan and Lalong rushed to the beach and looked back and forth around the mirage, marveling at it.
“This mirage is probably hundreds of years old. To grow so big, it must have eaten very well.” Yeats said, “The mirage of the girl on the edge of the cliff may be its prey. One of the methods."
Gray looked up at the sky and pictured a person falling into the sea being preyed on by mirages, and his expression suddenly became quite strange.
Suddenly I lost my appetite!
Crane sighed with emotion: "I only saw the surface of things, but Baron Yeats was able to find out the deeper truth!"
The Baron of Granite Port proposed to Provide Yeats with a gift of thanks and purchase the pearls from the mirage. Crane had read in a book that these clam beads were a precious potion material.
However, Yeats had no use for it.
For Yeats, the most valuable thing was not the clam beads, but the clam shells and clam meat that Clan did not want!
Yeats's mind moved and he thought of the space bag that he had been thinking about for a long time. He asked Crane about the price and quickly negotiated the price with him.
Yeats exchanged a large magic crystal and mirage bead worth more than a thousand gold coins for a space bag.
Honestly speaking, Yeats made a lot of money from this transaction. After all, the space bag is worth three thousand gold coins, and even Candela thought it was a bit expensive!
When Crane made this deal, it also meant that he had made friends with Yeats.
The space bag can hold at least two hundred kilograms of goods. Yeats is very happy. In the future, he will no longer have to worry about the carriage not being able to hold kitchen utensils when traveling!
At this time, Yeats saw the blond Yisu woman walking towards him. She has the physical characteristics of a lion's ears and a lion's tail, is tall and strong, has a human-like appearance, and has an exotic style.
Helga, the leader of the Isu tribe who claims to be the "Manticore Mercenary Group", thanks the Baron for his life-saving grace.
"The Manticore Mercenary Group will remember this favor and if it is needed in the future, just send it!" Helga said.
Yeats remembered that the leader of the Manticore mercenary team often practiced the 'Manticore Breathing Technique' and needed to use the Manticore as a source of potion materials, so he often had information related to the Manticore.
After Yeats inquired, he learned that the purpose of the Manticore Mercenary Group's trip was to conquer a Manticore lair outside the town of Ingeness.
"I will settle in the palace of Ingnes and prepare to purchase the body of a manticore." Yeats said, "If you have any trading plans, you can write to me."
Helga nodded. , thanked him again, and led the mercenaries to leave.
Crane Doyle touched his beard and said: "Your Excellency Yeats, I will order people to deal with the mirages. I will send someone to take you to the palace to rest, right?"
< br>"Don't bother, I plan to cook the jellyfish into dishes, just take off the clam beads and give them to you." Yeats said.
“Huh?” Baron Crane’s voice was full of surprise, “Isn’t mirage clam inedible?”
"The viscera of mirage clam meat is indeed poisonous. If you eat it accidentally, you will die due to the strong hallucinogenic effect. Improper handling will also cause the toxins in the viscera to spread to other parts."
Yeats smiled slightly: "However, I am not convinced. I know a thing or two about cooking methods, just remove the poisonous part before cooking the jellyfish."
Klan hesitated.
It is indeed easy to say, but the risk of eating jellyfish is too high!
"Have you brought any white wine?" Yeats asked.
Crane had a habit of drinking, so he took out a bottle of white wine from his space bag and gave it to Yeats.
Under the curious gaze of him and the writer Lalong, Yeats poured white wine into the cracks of the jellyfish's shell.
The clam shell slowly opened, Yeats pierced the almost useless clam meat with a sword, and began to process the clam meat.
Remove the poisonous parts, rinse the seaweed remaining in the mouth of the clam, and use mana to remove the harmful mana fluctuations remaining on the clam meat.
Later.
Yeats used clam shells as pots, roasted them on a fire made of stones, and added garlic, butter, thyme and bay leaves to the clam shells. The aroma of garlic and oil gradually spread, and then added a bottle of white wine. wine.
The aroma of wine fills the air when stewed in white wine, and the mussel meat gradually turns into a crystal white color.
This jellyfish, which is two arms wide, exudes the delicious aroma of seafood. Lalong and Kelan couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"It's a pity that there are no chili peppers." Yeats thought regretfully, "otherwise I would have made garlic mirage clams."
Although there is no New World in this world, there are chili peppers, potatoes, cocoa, etc. New World crops have been discovered in the southern continent.
The techniques of braising and stewing are very similar, and the technique that can quickly prepare a dish is called braising. As seafood, jellyfish do not need to be cooked for too long.
The aroma of garlic, wine, and that delicious fragrance stimulated everyone’s sense of smell, causing their mouths to secrete a lot of saliva. Yeats sprinkled chopped parsley into the pot, and finally squeezed in a little lemon juice.
The refreshing and sour taste of lemon directly injects soul into this dish, and Gray couldn't help but purse her lips.
It smells so good!
"Braised mirage clams in white wine: four stars. The sweetness of the clam meat and the aroma of white wine are combined into one. It is refreshing and not greasy, with clear layers, and the soup in the shell is so delicious that it will make you laugh. Produces hallucinations. After consumption, the effect of illusion casting is permanently increased (small) and your resistance to illusions is increased for a week (large)."
Yeats used his sword to divide the clam meat into small square pieces, and asked everyone to gather around the huge clam shell and use their daggers to pick out the tough clam meat and enjoy it.
“It’s best to dip into the soup before eating.” Yeats reminded kindly, “It will taste better this way.”
Grey picked up a piece of clam meat with a knife , dipped in the soup, hesitated for a while, closed his eyes and put it into his mouth.
Suddenly, an endless sea appeared in her mind. Suddenly, a blue dragon broke through the sea and carried her into the sky!
