Chapter 324: Signs of the Ocean

"Hey, girls, do you want a bowl of fish soup?" Captain Jack poked his head into the cabin and lifted the pipe in his mouth. "Just now a lucky guy caught a big blue-tailed trout."

"Thank you," Tilly Wimbledon nodded, "We'll be right over."

"It's fish soup again," Ashes sighed after the captain left, "How can this fishy and tasteless thing taste good?"

"You can add more salt to the bowl," Hefeng said with a light smile, "Pepper is also fine, but it's more expensive, I'm afraid Mr. Jack won't let you put it."

"If you don't put anything in, the cooked soup will be closer to the original taste, and it will test the quality of the food itself." Andrea gracefully smoothed her long pale golden hair, "Master Tilly, let's go to the captain's cabin. "

"As long as it's hot," Shavi, who was the shortest, muttered, "My toes are almost freezing."

A group of people went down the stairs and boarded the poop from the bottom of the Pretty Woman. Jack One-Eyed was standing by the porthole, looking at the white trails rolling and spreading behind the ship.

"This damn weather, why did it suddenly become so cold?" He exhaled a round of smoke rings, "By God, it's only mid-autumn now."

"Maybe the god is asleep?" Ashes shrugged.

"Bah bah, you can't say such things at sea," Captain Jack grinned, "The god of the sea is always watching us," he made a blessing gesture on his chest, "Forget it, don't think about it, let's have a bowl of fish soup to warm up first." Get down."

In order to enjoy warm food in the captain's cabin, he did not hesitate to open a large hole in the floor, put the brazier in the center of the hole, and fill the surrounding area with sea sand to insulate the heat, so as not to ignite the entire ship due to fire.

A large pot of fish soup on the brazier was bubbling and gurgling, and the fragrance filled the whole room.

The six people just took off their shoes and sat around the brazier, buried their feet in the warm fine sand, let their cold toes fully contact with the gravel, and enjoyed the warmth brought by the charcoal fire.

Tilly took the fish soup handed over by the captain, and gently blew on the steaming hot noodle soup. Unlike the milky white thick soup made from blacktail fish, this bowl of soup was dark yellow, with oily flakes floating on the surface, reflecting the With crystal luster.

Seeing the occasional green and white spots in the soup, she knew that the old captain had taken out all the bottom of the box. The ship sailed for several months, which made it difficult for the crew to eat fresh vegetables and fruits. These juicy green onions are obviously preserved by him with ice salt. The fragrance of the green onions neutralizes the fishy smell of the fish itself. With the blend of sliced ​​ginger and a little beer, the rest is full of rich and mellow deliciousness.

Tilly drank the fish soup slowly, and whenever her tongue was about to be burned, she paused for a moment and let out a few breaths. She could clearly feel every sip, the soup she drank was like a warm current, flowing down her throat and into her stomach, making her stomach warm.

The chill faded away quickly, and she even felt her body warm up slightly.

"Try adding some chili," Jack pointed to the earthen pot of seasonings next to the brazier, "the taste will be more special, and it will be especially effective in repelling the cold. It is even more effective than wine."

"Although the original taste is the essence of food, I have to say that these ingredients are added just right and the taste is not bad at all," Andrea praised.

"Aren't you going to drink?" Tilly looked at Ashes.

The latter waved his hand, "Forget it, I really can't stand the smell of sea fish."

At the beginning, Tilly couldn’t accept the fjord people’s habit of eating fish. Any meal can’t do without a wide variety of fish, not to mention the conventional grilled, boiled, and fried ones, as well as exotic methods such as fish jelly, fish sauce, and caviar. ...However, after forcing herself to eat it a few times at formal banquets, she found that the taste was not bad. Once she became familiar with the fishy smell, it could further bring out the deliciousness of the food itself. She can now slowly try foods with pungent smells such as dried fish, grilled cuttlefish, and even fried stinky fish.

"Our Miss Ashes has already been spoiled by the brutal cooking methods of Border Town," Andrea covered her mouth and said, "It's a pity, not only did she lose the ability to distinguish delicious food after being full of spices and refined salt, now it seems that, Not even the courage left."

"What did you say?" Ashes glared at the other party.

"Why, isn't it like this?" Andrea let out a series of laughter, "Just a little bit of fishy smell makes you discouraged, you are as self-willed as a little girl, how can you expect you to stand up for Lady Tilly when she needs it?" out?"

"I see... It seems that you really want to provoke me to fight with you," Ashes' tone suddenly softened, "Give it up, Border Town has a terrifying weapon that is much more powerful than your arrows. Even so, I still won the competition. So if you want to take away the position of Lady Tilly's bodyguard from me, you still need to practice for a few more years..." She paused, "It might take a lifetime of practice. "

"you"

Ashes raised the corners of his mouth, "Also, the delicacy invented by His Royal Highness Roland is not only the superposition of spices and refined salt, you will understand when you taste it. But remember not to drip the overflowing saliva on your clothes, Lady Tilly throws it away. I'm sorry for this face."

"Nonsense, it's you!"

Tilly couldn't help laughing out loud. These two witches are the most powerful witches on Sleeping Island, and they often fight over who is the most powerful, but she knows that no matter whether it is Ashes or Andrea, Is his best subordinate. When danger comes, they will fight side by side without hesitation, and join hands to build the impenetrable wall of Sleeping Island.

The dispute between the two made the atmosphere in the room lively. Seeing this scene, Tilly couldn't help but think of the five witches sent to Border Town. Wondering if they were doing well in her brother's territory?

At this moment, the Pretty Woman suddenly shook violently without warning.

"Be careful!" Ashes pulled the fifth princess away, the iron pot on the brazier was overturned to the ground, the soup extinguished the charcoal fire, and the fish fell all over the ground.

Then a sharp whistle sounded outside the cabin.

"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"

A sailor rushed into the captain's cabin and shouted in shock, "Mr. Captain, the mutated sea ghost is here! More than one!"

Sea ghost... Isn't that another name for evil beast? Tilly was startled, why did they come to this place?

A group of people ran out of the poop, and saw more than a dozen monsters with fish bodies and crab legs on the deck, and some were climbing up the pretty beauty from both sides of the ship's strings. They move swiftly, and their six legs move like a giant cockroach; the humanoid arms waving on both sides of their heads are so powerful that they can twist the neck of a sailor.

"Since you are unwilling to fight, let's compete," Andrea snapped her fingers, and a golden light emerged from her fingers, turning into a bow, and she held it firmly in her hand, "Who killed the monster?" More, whoever is the most powerful."

"It doesn't matter," Ashes pulled out the strangely shaped giant sword from behind, "I'm going for it.".
