According to one person's view of history, the West began its vigorous Age of Discovery only after it developed a god-level technology - "salted fish", which solved the problem of fat and protein storage. China has had "cured meat" since ancient times. )", "Bacon" and other god-level technologies, so they can be unified early and continue to expand. By the way, Great Russia also has frozen meat...
Of course, before salted fish, cured meats and bacon, there was a food technology – and it wasn’t Sherwin-Williams ham! Not Sherwin-Williams ham! Not Sherwin-Williams ham! ——It’s dried meat and fish. This method of food storage has existed since primitive society, and it is the predecessor of various magical technologies.
However, dried meat is difficult to preserve (it will rot if it is slightly moist) and difficult to eat (even if you have good teeth, it is as hard as a rock). It is an immature preservation method.
Therefore, in Skyrim Province, if a big game is hunted or a large livestock is slaughtered, many people are usually invited to enjoy it together. Because one person can't finish it all, and the meat will go bad if left for a long time, the implicit meaning of inviting others is that you will invite me next time... Over time, this form of frequent invitations developed into the Nordic dining style. banquet.
We all know that there cannot always be a big prey waiting for you to hunt in this world, and even the best hunters sometimes fail to catch the prey. Therefore, the eating habits of the Nords are to eat as much as they can when they have something to eat, and to starve when there is nothing to eat... Not only ordinary people, but also Ella and the others are like this.
So we know how great Hirsing’s bread is!
Happiness is not about having a piece of meat when you are full, but about having bread when you are hungry.
Eveningstar and Ella have returned with great honors and brought the Shard of Uthrad, and of course the celebration cannot be complete without a banquet!
The group of comrades were all friends who listened to the live broadcast and stayed up to accompany Ella and the two through this difficult three-day and two-night adventure. They grieve with Ella's sadness, become angry with Ella's anger, share weal and woe, and are worthy of the title of "comrades-in-arms" - in fact, when it comes to adventure experiences, experienced old guys like Old Man Korak have encountered The most dangerous things in life are far more than what Ella and I encountered.
But the live broadcast is different after all. Under the atmosphere of a certain scumbag god, their experiences sound a hundred times more terrifying than the real situation!
Therefore, when the two of them returned safely, they naturally wanted to eat, drink, drink and sing...
(Beer, white wine, melon seeds, bread, sausage and grilled fish fillets.)
"No drinking, no overeating, no..." At the banquet, Muxing was like an old woman, nagging at the puppy following her. "You are still young. If you develop bad habits now, you will become a useless person like them in the future."
She pointed at Cisco Moon, who was drunk and holding a wine bottle, as an example. Ke Lan nodded with lingering fear, promising that he would never become such an adult... Then when Mu Xing wasn't paying attention, he stole a steak and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mammoth ribs, which were more than one meter long, were swallowed whole by a dog the size of a forearm, without even spitting out the bones! Wilkens, who occasionally saw him on the side, almost had his eyes popped out! Realizing that he had been discovered, the puppy turned to Wilkens and raised his middle finger, baring his teeth in a threatening gesture!
"Pah~" A slender white jade-like hand slapped it on the forehead, turning the grinning face into a "funny picture".
"What are you doing! You dare to threaten people, I haven't settled the debt with you yet!"
Ke Lan shrank his neck when he heard about "the tent in front". However, as clever as it was, it immediately approached Evening Star, wagging its tail in a flattering manner, and holding Evening Star's calf with its front paws to flatter him desperately (Wilkens' jaw dropped again).
"...Sigh," Duixing shook his head with a headache, "It seems that we have ignored your education. Forget about the gems (puppy laughs), but what's going on with you stealing other people's elves?! Please explain it clearly to me!"
"But aren't they enemies?" Ke Lan puppy made a cute voice like a milk baby.
She wouldn't say it was because those exploding crystals were all sparkling and tempting her, and the child couldn't hold them back!
A dog actually talks? ! Wilkens next to him slapped his ears hard, "I must have been hallucinating after drinking too much!"
"The enemy can't do it either!" Duixing's eyebrows were raised. At this moment, all the mothers in the world were possessed. "An enemy is an enemy, and stealing is stealing. These are two different things! Just because you are an enemy, you cannot use any means necessary! Children must not have the bad habit of stealing! ... Nor can they steal!"
That's right, it's just like what mothers all over the world think - adults can do anything, but children can't do anything - because if you don't learn well, you will become the kind of adult before...
Ke Lan lowered his head, looking very aggrieved.
"You may not believe it," Ke Lan raised his two little paws and vowed, "He was the one who did it first!"
Although the atmosphere of the banquet was lively, neither of the two protagonists seemed very active.
Evening Star took her dog and greeted everyone quietly; while Ella, after drinking two bottles of wine, hid in the corner and chatted with her wooden bread.
Because the Nords were used to living a carefree life, no one bothered them specifically.
"Bread, bread, why do you think His Majesty Hircine is teasing me? It's really a headache. I obviously believe him so much." A slightly drunk Ella complained while holding the wooden bread. She pouted like a cute little girl.
On the way back, after listening to Mu Xing's careful analysis of the causes and consequences, she finally understood that this adventure was only as thrilling as that adult! Ella, who understood that she had been deceived, did not suffer a sharp decline in her faith because of this... On the contrary, Ella, who knew how to be grateful, respected Hircine just because she came out of the tomb unscathed.
If she were to make bread at this time, she would definitely find that her bread would be sweeter than most people - because the god she believed in was a guy who helped her relatives but ignored her. And for someone as lustful as Lu Yuan, he must be an acquaintance with the cute girl with animal ears.
"Well, probably because he is a boring bastard." Faced with Ella's question, Bread replied awkwardly.
Now even the most obtuse person should have discovered that the so-called wooden bread can talk is actually Hircine teasing Ella again - and Ella's method is almost equivalent to questioning her face to face. Even Lao Lu would blush.
"Maybe it's because I'm too stupid." Ella looked at Evening Star enviously, "If only I could be as smart as Evening Star, His Majesty might even choose me to be a priest... By the way, bread, bread, Do you think there is anyone stupider than me in this world?"
Wooden Bread really wants to roll his eyes and ask me all the questions. Are you using me as a "magic mirror"? ! But Ella's way of blaming herself for the problem of "Helsine teasing me" once again dealt a heavy blow to Lao Lu's limited conscience! Now he really regrets always teasing this honest child.
"...Well, it doesn't count." Wooden Bread showed the font in a awkward manner. "Among the stupidest people in the world, your IQ is at most one-third, the top one-third..."
"Ah~!" The wooden bread was still showing the handwriting, but Ella had already looked away and screamed in surprise!
It turned out that old man Kolak was holding Evening Star's dog and rubbing the dog's face vigorously! Ella suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - she knew that it was a huge dragon as big as a mountain! "Uncle Korak~" She quickly stood up and ran over there.
When she approached, she heard the loud voice of old man Korak yelling, "Evening Star, this is your dog! Tsk tsk~" He lifted the puppy and looked at it professionally. , and also made a sound. "It looks a little weird...but it's a great dog! It's a good dog!"
Hearing that he was praising the dog, Ella, who ran over, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ke Lan also posed happily, wagging his tail "woof~woof~".
But Ella immediately heard Korak say next, "Evening Star is smarter... I stewed this dog when I was suffering from famine, and it was another pot of good meat!"
Ella stumbled and fell.
"Wow!" Ke Lan, who was lifted up high by the old man, was furious and was about to scratch the old man's face all over! But when she saw Mu Xing's threatening eyes and slight shake of her head, all her grief and anger turned into a "woof~" and she ran away in tears.
"Hahaha~~!" Ke Lan ran away, and the old man smiled proudly, as if teasing a dog was such a great thing.
Seeing Korak like this, Ella was in a state of confusion... After Hircine changed his priesthood, it seemed that everyone in the comrades had a different style... Forget it, I'd better continue chatting with my bread. Ella doesn’t know that she is the one whose painting style has changed the most.
"Ella, why are you running?" Korak noticed Ella and immediately changed his target. He is the kind of old man who is usually dignified, but becomes a bit annoying after drinking too much. "You still have your bread, eat it quickly and replace it with a new one! In two days, white hair will appear, which will make it even more unpalatable! Now close your eyes, stuff it into your mouth, and it will be gone in a few minutes."
"No, don't want it." Ella quickly hid the wooden bread behind her back, as if she was afraid that the old man would come up and grab it. "My bread can accompany me to chat and relieve my boredom, so I can't bear to eat it! No matter how delicious the new bread is, it can't be as good as my wooden bread."
Old man Korak looked at Ella, his mouth opened and closed, with a tangled look on his face... What should I say to make this silly girl understand that bread is bread, and that the person chatting with her is actually His Majesty Hircine? Then how can I explain that His Majesty Hircine is not bread, but the bread is His Majesty Hircine... No, it is His Majesty Hircine who is speaking through the bread...
In the end, he could only say in infinite depression, "As long as you are happy."
"Thank you, Uncle Korak."
Saying goodbye to Korak, Ella returned to her original position.
"Bread, bread, we haven't finished what we just said."
"..." A series of dots appeared on the bread, and then writing appeared. "What question did you ask just now?"
"Ah," Ella happily repeated the question she just asked, "I'm asking, is there anyone stupider than me in the world?" She looked at the bread expectantly, waiting for the answer to be revealed.
This time the bread was very crisp and only showed two words——
"No!"
