Chapter 603 Disruption

The sun goes from east to west.

The glare of the sun turned crimson and shone obliquely on the Hull Canyon, making the Thunder Fortress under reconstruction seem to be on fire.

And the Thunder Fortress that existed in the shadows seemed to be swallowed by darkness.

The natural contrast between flames and darkness amazed everyone.

Whether it is the Warren defenders or the prairie people.

Of course, the direction of the two sides sighing is definitely not the same.

The Warren defenders recalled the glory days of Thunder Fortress.

The prairie people are rejoicing that the original Thunder Fortress was destroyed.

"We still need to strengthen the city wall!"

James VIII, standing alone under the simple city wall, whispered to himself.

Then, the brow is wrinkled.

As the king of Warren, even though he has been constrained by Jenny James, James VIII still has considerable ability.

He is very clear that in the immediate situation, he not only needs a strong fortification, but also needs a group of soldiers to recharge their batteries.

Instead of treating soldiers as craftsmen and farmers.

But if there is no solid fortification, the soldiers in front of them are useless, no matter how elite they are, unless they are all elites trained by various schools.

otherwise……

"Not enough people!"

Thinking of this, James VIII couldn't help but sigh.

However, he didn't blame the nobles who fled first, let alone the civilians who were fleeing.

Because, he knew that none of this was the other party's fault, it was because he hadn't achieved a level of trustworthiness.

Thinking of the process he had committed, James VIII smiled wryly at himself.

"His Majesty."

An abrupt voice sounded from behind.

James VIII subconsciously wanted to turn around.

"Please maintain your current posture, and forgive my rudeness!"

"I don't have any malicious intentions, but I'm here for the immediate war—compared with the prairie people, we are on your side, and your wizard advisor Roque has also proved this!"

That voice said.

James VIII clenched his fist violently.

He heard the threat in the other party's words.

"How is Rock?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, James VIII asked.

"Don't worry, your wizard advisor is fine, we didn't hurt him...in fact, we should be his saviors!"

The voice answered.

"Savior?"

James VIII frowned.

...

The forest in the evening is about to enter another beginning.

The weary birds returning to their nests and the beasts beginning to haunt are all part of this beginning.

But Celty, who raised a bonfire in the forest, was alone.

Tear open the two medicine bags in his hand, and sprinkle the medicine powder evenly around. After feeling the peeping sense of those beasts completely disappear, Celti sat back by the campfire again, waiting quietly.

There are two roasted rabbits on the bonfire, and beside the bonfire is a tin pot, and the hot air is wrapped in a cluster of wine and escapes from the pot.

Celti picked up the jug, which was boiling hot on the outside, with a calm expression as if she couldn't feel the temperature on it, she unscrewed the lid and took a big gulp.

call!

Then, a mouthful of alcohol spewed out.

A blush quickly appeared on the face covered with wind and frost.

And in his ears, two clear footsteps sounded.

Just right!

Celti stood up with a habitual smile on her face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Mary, and Your Excellency 2567 for coming as promised!"

After seeing the two of them clearly, the smile became even brighter.

Then, Celty warmly invited Mary and Qin Ran to sit by the campfire, and handed over a roasted rabbit.

"Please don't mind, I can't entertain you two with better food, this is something I just found all afternoon!"

Mary frowned as she looked at the charred hare in front of her.

It's not that she hasn't eaten worse food, it's just the food handed over by a stranger, which makes the girl vigilant and resistant instinctively.

But to Mary's surprise, Qin Ran took the roasted rabbit, and did not tear the rabbit meat, but 'broken' it, just like breaking an apple, but without the crisp sound.

fragrance!

The rich, spicy aroma hits the nostrils.

Mary watched in surprise as Qin Ran's hands were 'broken' open, revealing the meatballs in his stomach.

The girl didn't expect that there was something else going on in the roasted rabbit.

It wasn't until Qin Ran held the meatball to her mouth that the girl blushed slightly and ate the meatball. Immediately, a thicker aroma appeared on her taste buds.

That's...soup!

Instinctively, the girl covered her mouth to prevent the soup from flowing out of her mouth.

But the deliciousness of the food made the girl squeak.

Some thin cartilage is mixed in the meatballs, which makes the meatballs more chewy, and blends perfectly with the soup.

yes……

Sparrow meat!

The girl's eyes lit up suddenly.

During the trip to Lualdrie, I once ate what Qin Ran made.

Because it is delicious, it is still fresh in my memory.

Without hesitation, the girl picked up another meatball from the roasted rabbit.

Kieran's actions had already made the girl no longer worried.

But Celti on the side became startled and uncertain.

"Your Excellency 2567, have you been to Trage Snow Mountain?"

Celty asked hesitantly.

"No."

Qin Ran said very simply.

"Then you?"

Celty pointed to the roasted rabbit.

"It's a very simple culinary reasoning - your fire is two points off, the initial flame is too strong, and then deliberately maintain a simmer, hoping to make up for the previous mistakes, but it more than doubles the mistakes! The meatballs are taken from Sparrow meat, but the sparrow itself is not fat enough, it’s just sparrows, and some of your spices are old ingredients, even if they are carefully preserved, some smells are still mixed in, even if they are covered by wine... the final taste is still poor some."

Relying on the super-level [cooking skills] that he temporarily mastered, Kieran didn't taste it, but only relied on the smell, and deduced the whole process of Celti's cooking.

But that's not the end.

With Celti's surprised expression on his face, Kieran continued to speak.

"There are ferocious beasts and poisonous insects here, so you should have sprinkled some medicinal powder before. These medicinal powders have a very pungent smell. Even though a large part is aimed at those ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, people can still smell it! Moreover, Due to the direction of the wind, some powder entered the bonfire, making the roasted rabbit completely inaccessible! Or...in your opinion, is the roasted rabbit itself a kind of vessel?"

"Shame on people who waste food!"

"But it's a sin to create people who have to throw away food!"

With that said, Kieran looked at Celti.

Celty was completely dumbfounded.

Qin Ran's remarks greatly exceeded his expectations.

Celti never thought that Qin Ran was proficient in cooking.

no no!

Being able to say these words is no longer a level of proficiency, but a real master who has reached a certain level.

more importantly……

Qin Ran broke his plan!

It broke him to think for a long time before making a plan for Mary and Kieran!

no!

It must be redeemed!

Sai Erti thought in his heart, but at this moment, Kieran spoke again.

"We are here as promised, please tell Mary more about her mother!"

No more pleasantries or politeness, just go straight to the point.

It fell into the ear of Celti, who was still thinking about it, like a long knife out of its sheath.

Clang!

Crisp and loud.
