"…………"
In the depths of the vast sea, a patch of orange-red sea water was in front of you, setting off waves of rolling air. As soon as the bubbles rising from the deep sea emerged from the horizon, there was a stream of white steam, shrouding the entire sea surface in mist.
Allen stood two or three meters above the sea level, a pair of eagle eyes scanning back and forth in the blue water, looking for this time's prey.
More than a hundred meters away to the left, a black lightning flashed across the water, and it wasn't until a long time later that there were a few ripples rippling on the water.
Seeing this, Allen tapped his foot lightly in the air, and his slender body chased him like a breeze.
"break!!"
As soon as the new Bonecutter was acquired, he was sent forward by Allen. The energy wave formed by the instant-kill sword skill turned into a ray, which instantly crossed the barrier of space and directly pierced a deep and far-reaching hole in the blue sea water.
The water wave soaring into the sky had just risen, and the shadow under the water wave was suddenly hit hard. It turned around and sprayed a water element magic towards Allen, carrying the water wave together, and headed straight to Allen's location.
The Bonecutter lay in front of him, and Allen slashed with ease. The obscure energy formed after the demon-breaking sigil group was activated immediately filled the Bonecutter's broad sword.
A huge water dragon bared its teeth and claws and rushed toward Allen. The vigorous energy fluctuations made the surrounding aquatic creatures seem to sense danger and quickly fled to the surrounding area. But the target in front of the water dragon, Bugbear Allen, had a calm look on his face, waving the Bonecutter at leisure, and slashed out a sword with a huge difference in size.
boom! ! !
Water splashes all over the sky exploded less than ten meters in front of Allen, leaving only a white scene in front of Allen's eyes. However, around his body, the spontaneously rising flames of anger caused any intruding water elements to be directly resolved. Can't hurt Allen at all.
Under the sea, a dark color appeared vaguely, and then a huge crimson creature suddenly jumped out of the water. In the mouth of the huge red dragon, a deep-sea squid that was almost one-third the size of the legendary dragon was constantly stirring. Those tentacles pulled and squirmed in vain on the smooth scales of the red dragon.
"Pooh!!"
Figueras's mouth tasted like ink, and the ambergris saliva he spat out was also black and ink filled, and his face was full of bad luck and dissatisfaction.
"Next time, don't ask me to do this kind of thing again, otherwise I will really fall out with you!!"
"Hey, my friend."
Allen didn't take it seriously, looked at the amber vertical pupils of the red dragon Figueras, and said teasingly: "This prey, in the end, most of the delicacies made from the ingredients will fall into your stomach. ?"
"He who can do it should work harder, so don't worry about these little things!"
"snort!!"
For the sake of the food, Figueras put away his dissatisfied expression. His original intention of being a little naughty was just to bargain with Allen to find something to make up for. Now that he has obtained the other party's verbal promise, his goal has been achieved. Naturally, it died down.
"Let's go, with such a high-level magical beast ingredient, it should be enough for the children of the clan to cook two or three delicacies."
As Allen spoke, he took out a scroll from the dimensional bag. When the red dragon shook its head and threw up the deep-sea squid, the ice magic formed by the scroll quickly enveloped the squid, which weighed more than ten tons. A huge squid, and soon a crystal clear squid ice sculpture appeared in mid-air and was caught by Allen.
"call!!!"
The turbulent wind was generated under the huge fleshy wings of the dragon. Figueras suddenly rose up, his two strong hind claws were deeply clasped in the ice sculpture, and he dragged it slowly towards the eastern mountain line.
As the two powerful men left, the deep sea gradually returned to calm. Until more than a magic hour later, under the deep orchid sea, there were suddenly countless shadows cruising back and forth. Suddenly, one head had a flat head, and the other was There is also a spine as sharp as a blade on the back. The shark-man with a pair of arms where the twin fins should have grown on both sides of the broad chest emerged from the sea and looked in the direction of the vague smell of squid that lingered in the sky.
"General, the deep-sea squid grazing in this area is definitely gone!!"
puff! puff! puff! !
One after another, shark men surfaced, reporting the results of their search to the first shark man who emerged from the water with solemn expressions.
"Damn land creatures, they came to cause trouble in the waters of our Yas Empire again!!!"
"General, it seems that there is still the aura of that big lizard!!"
Just when the Shark General was furious, there were Shark Scouts with keen senses who were supplementing his new findings.
"Greedy reptile!!!"
"In the future, more patrol soldiers will be sent to this sea area. I will definitely catch these thieves with my own hands!!!"
"Yes!! General!!!"
Under the surface of the sea, groups of sharks were swimming rapidly, forming huge black shadows that slowly swam deeper into the ocean.
With the newly captured prey, Allen and the others returned to the Fate Fortress. Now, because of more migrating goblins and the gradually stabilizing climate environment, the fortress is no longer a depression, but has many. A little bit alive.
The fortress is almost integrated with the entire mountain range. A continuous artificial river extends from the channel into the wilderness. There are countless newly cultivated plants around the river, forming gardens full of green atmosphere and many delicate flowers. are blooming in these gardens, making the fortress no longer monotonous.
There is also a lot more greenery in the wilderness to the east of the fortress. The filled soil was excavated from the depths of the wilderness and transformed into fields suitable for cultivation. Because of the abundant water resources, the food grown in the land outside Fat Fortress is different from the green plains. It is not the wheat that everyone often eats, but crops such as rice and sweet potatoes that are more water-friendly.
"Clan leader, you are back."
Rabal, the garrison commander of Fate Fortress, had just been demoted here not long ago. During the last clan clean-up, because he had worked under Swara, many of Swara's private affairs were left to the two brothers. , and when they were found out later, they would inevitably be reprimanded and punished.
Fortunately, Swara is a legendary strongman in the clan. For his sake, Oliver sent the two brothers to Fate Fortress after asking Allen for instructions. This was considered a kind of punishment. A light punishment.
"Well, please handle this prey properly and send it back to Green Lake Town."
Allen nodded slightly and pointed at the huge prey on Figueras's claws.
"I think I'd better take it back. I'm just greedy and want to try the cooking skills of the chefs in your town."
Seemingly sensing that Allen wanted to continue searching for ingredients for hunting World of Warcraft, Figueras rolled his eyes and immediately rejected Allen's kindness, and continued to wave his wings.
While talking, the dragon's huge body began to hover high in the sky, obviously afraid that Allen would continue to retain him.
Seeing this, Allen raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Well, since you are so impatient, then I will leave this prey to you."
"..."
Figueras gave Allen a white eye, then flapped his wings and flew towards the northeast. His huge body slowly turned into a black dot, and then disappeared into the sky.
Allen did not wait for Figueras's back to disappear completely. After the other party was several miles away, he plunged into the criss-crossing alleyways of the fortress.
"Help me prepare a set of cooking utensils and these materials!!"
Rabal was about to keep up with Allen, but was stopped by a piece of parchment thrown at him.
"Okay, I'll do it now!!"
Before Labal's voice could finish speaking, Allen's back had already disappeared at the corner of a street. Looking at the direction in which he was heading, Labal probably guessed where his destination was. At this time, he picked up the After scanning the parchment in his hand, he ran to the storage area in the inner city of the fortress.
There was wind under Allen's feet, and he soon came to a towering spire made of gray-white marble. A dozen goblin warriors posted around the spire heard the footsteps, and immediately looked over with vigilance, but after seeing clearly After seeing the face of the clan leader, each of them withdrew their gaze with expressions of admiration and nervousness.
This is not the first time Allen has come to this gray-white ivory tower. Allen visited here more than half a month ago and met with the high-level mage Albad who was quietly waiting to die in this mage tower. .
Albad, the dwarf mage, was of the same generation as Trik and the others. Normally, he should have run out of life long ago and died in the River Styx. But after all, mages possess magical spells and have been pursuing the truth and laws of this world. According to the wizard's inheritance, Albad used some of the secret skills of flesh and blood puppets on himself to replace the old and useless ones in his body. The organs are still lingering on even though they have lived to be more than one hundred and twenty years old.
To be able to achieve this without a complete mage inheritance and lack of guidance from a master shows that Albad is talented and hard working as a mage.
But it is a pity that the laws of nature can never be countered by human power. If Albad, who has lived for more than a hundred years, wants to continue to exist as an independent individual, unless he turns himself into a flesh and blood puppet, his old soul will no longer be able to support it. He came to consciousness.
Pushing open the door of the ivory tower, Allen once again saw the old dwarf with half of his body replaced by metal structures. When he was in a daze in front of the obsidian sculpture of Allen in the lobby of the ivory tower, there was nothing but pity in his eyes. The meaning of disgust and alienation.
Especially when Albad secretly told himself that he finally found his own legendary path before he was about to step into the grave, Allen felt more deeply regretful and remorseful.
If I had not asked Albad to study military strategy and battle formation command, and wasted too much time studying magic; or if I had paid more attention to this junior who was obsessed with studying the laws of nature, maybe the current situation would have been It's completely different.
However, the reality is always so cruel. It was too late for Albad to find his own path to legend. With his current strength of body and soul, he may not be able to support him to successfully advance to legend.
But Allen still wanted to try again, to see if there was a chance to use the magical dishes he cooked to help Albard support him until the moment he was promoted to legend.
After all, the legendary path of a spell caster is very different from that of a warrior. It is said that some spell casters successfully advanced in less than a year after finding their own legendary path.
According to what Albad told Allen, it has been more than four years since he found his own path to legend. This means that if Albad can live one more day, then he will have one more day. The hope of promotion.
Of course, at this moment, Albad couldn't even lift his fingers, and could only rely on instinct to breathe tenaciously. In fact, the distance between this hope of promotion and zero was only a few millimeters.
Unless Allen can find a way to bring Albad back to life and have the ability to cast spells independently and recognize himself.
"...ah...ah..."
Albad, who was in a daze, didn't realize Allen's arrival until Allen was standing behind him for a long time, and he was about to open his mouth to say hello to Allen with difficulty.
"Okay, just keep your spirits up. I'm here to give you a gift today, as a congratulations on finding your own legendary path."
Allen knew what Albad wanted to do, and lightly patted Albad on the shoulder with a mysterious smile on his face.
"……ah……"
Albad had something to say, but her body functions were basically damaged now. Even a complete sentence required a lot of effort. And when Allen saw him like this, how could he be willing to let him waste his precious energy? Woolen cloth.
"Okay!! You should rest first and keep it in your heart if you have anything to say."
Allen ordered Albad without any doubt, and at the same time took out a scroll to soothe the soul and used it directly on Albad, making him slowly fall into a deep sleep.
A legendary seed is very precious to any tribe in the wilderness. If it is not until the last moment, no one will completely give up saving the other party's life. As a mage legendary seed, Albad naturally holds a greater weight in Allen's heart, and he has contributed a lot to the tribe over the years, which not only proves his ability and value, but also proves his loyalty to the tribe.
He summoned a goblin mage on duty in the tower and asked him to push Albad back to his room to rest. Allen walked out of the mage tower and waited for Labal to deliver what he needed.
Another ten minutes passed, and Labali himself drove a fully loaded carriage, slowly driving over and staying in the open area outside the mage tower.
"Put the things there and let someone set up a simple tent for me. I'm going to develop a new dish here. Don't let anyone disturb me!!"
Seeing Rabal's arrival, Allen's expression softened, and then he pointed to a clean grassland and said.
"OK!!"
Rabaali was very energetic. He knew that he and his brother Rabbana were very unpopular in Allen's eyes because of their mistakes. If everyone hadn't privately known that they were more of a scapegoat for Swara, and at the same time had to take Swara's loyalty and face into consideration, these two goblins would have been beheaded long ago.
While waiting for the surrounding area to be ventilated and setting up a simple tent with only a sunshade roof, Allen also took out the precious materials he had collected from his dimensional bag, as well as the giant deep-sea creatures that he had hunted in the deep sea with Fei Grace these days. various precious parts.
A bottle of dragon blood potion, the heart of a thousand-year-old seahorse, a colorful lotus from the mirage plane, a bottle of the heart blood of the Laughing Killer Whale...
All kinds of precious materials were taken out by Allen, and he put them in the palm of his hand to constantly feel their own materials and hidden magic power. Around his body, the invisible power of the God of Cookery domain has been activated, which not only helps Alan identify ingredients, but also inspires Alan to have all kinds of fantastic ideas about the next cooking.
"...Albad's biggest problem is that his soul is corrupt, so the colorful lotus from the mirage plane, which possesses spiritual magic power, and the blood collected from the demigod giant, owe you the heart of Anahaiba, It should be of great help to his current situation..."
"...Of course, although nearly half of Albad's body has been replaced by metal structures, his heart, brain and other important organs are still the original structure, so the strengthening of these flesh and blood materials must also be considered when cooking..."
"..."
Although this is not the first time that Allen has studied new dishes, it is something that Allen rarely has the opportunity to try, focusing on an individual's problem and cooking a dish that suits the other person's current situation.
In the past, most people found new ingredients, and then used the characteristics of the original ingredients to blend other auxiliary ingredients and spices to stimulate the greatest magic of the ingredients themselves.
Most of the creation of such new dishes is done after the dish is successfully cooked and then the characteristics of the dish are summed up through actual tasting.
But what Allen has to do now is to search for ingredients among countless ingredients that suit the other party's current predicament and can help the other party successfully make up for the current shortcomings based on Albad's soul decay and body decay, and cook these ingredients into The difficulty of magic dishes is much more difficult than Allen's previous corpse hiding.
Fortunately, in these years, Allen has not given up his favorite cooking, and because there is always a greedy and rogue dragon around him, Allen is forced to try all the fresh ingredients around him. It also gives me a general understanding of the characteristics of most ingredients.
Based on the current problems faced by Albad, Alan carefully selected the ingredients needed for the next cooking. Every choice was the result of his careful consideration.
Along with the various ingredients, Allen took them out from his collection and soon spread them out on the grass in front of him.
If anyone with knowledge at this time saw the materials in front of Allen, they would probably be stunned. If these materials were released and sold in any chamber of commerce, they would definitely be able to get a legendary weapon.
But if they knew that this was just for Allen to extend the life of an ordinary goblin, then they would definitely think that Allen, the bugbear, had lost his mind.
It's just that Allen doesn't feel that the consumption of these materials is a loss at all. In his opinion, if these materials can be exchanged for a legendary mage, then he will make a huge profit! !
"Go find two fire mages and wind mages to come and help!!"
There is also a team of mages stationed in Fat Fortress. Although its overall quality is certainly not as good as that of important towns such as Green Lake Town and Namur Fortress, for Allen's subsequent cooking, the abilities of the mages in this team are basically Already useful enough.
In the past, Allen would habitually use campfires when cooking, but this time, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong and keep the flame temperature absolutely controlled, Allen directly asked fire and wind mages as assistants to help complete this with controllable magic flames. One cooking session.
The preparation alone took more than an hour of magic. When everything was ready, Allen kept turning over the empty kitchen utensils in front of him. His powerful physical control ability had completely become familiar with this unfamiliar kitchen utensil.
"Make a fire!"
As Allen gave a low order, the two fire mages who had received the instructions immediately smashed a fireball directly into the stove. A raging flame suddenly rose from the stove, and the scorching tongues of fire spit out wantonly. With light.
The iron pot made a crisp sound, covering the rising flames, and soon a stream of green smoke rose from the bottom of the pot. Allen's serious face bloomed with an invisible glow as the bottom of the pot turned orange. Divine light.
呲呲~~~
The dragon blood potion that Allen had treasured for countless years and was reluctant to use even after experiencing many life and death crises was poured directly into the pot. A vigorous fire energy and vitality turned into an energy ripple, which quickly rippled in the surrounding space. At the same time, a tangible and intangible flame rose from the crimson liquid in the pot, turning into a petite and unruly black dragon. A silent growl to Eren.
Just when the liquid of the dragon's blood potion was about to boil, there was another bottle of bright red blood, and Allen seized the opportunity to pour it into the iron pot. As Allen held the handle of the pot with his left hand, rippling slightly, and his right hand gently stirred the two different liquids in a clockwise direction, a new breath mixed with the powerful power of the dragon's blood spread outward. .
The heart of a thousand-year-old seahorse, the blood of a demigod giant... every precious material that is sought after in the outside world. At this time, Allen was poured into his whole body, and he threw it into the iron pot without hesitation, and gradually merged with other ingredients. It turns into a colorful soup filled with various flavors.
The energy fluctuations contained in the soup even triggered mana tides within more than ten miles around Fate Fortress. The laws of nature seemed to feel threatened by unnatural things. The majestic water element poured in from the channel connecting the ocean, and in Layers of dark clouds formed over the Fate Fortress.
The dense dark clouds were getting lower and lower, and lightning snakes shuttled through the clouds. Along with the roar of thunder, the entire fortress seemed to be caught in some kind of powerful magical attack.
Allen was so focused that he was completely unaware of the changes in the external environment. In his eyes and in his heart, there was only the iron pot in front of him that seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the delicious soup in the pot.
In the fortress, the over 10,000 green field goblin tribesmen who had migrated had more or less anxiety and worry on their faces, and they kept looking towards the dark clouds in the sky. On the city wall, the heavy steel shield in the hands of Rabbana, who was on duty, had been taken out, and the surrounding goblin warriors had also taken precautions, staring intently at the raging dark clouds above their heads.
