Chapter 1022: Pot Is Actually a Kind of Weapon
"You don't know something," said the goblin clan leader: "Making a cauldron out of fine steel is a method taught to the elves by our goblin clan."
"Ah? Did you teach it to them?" I was very surprised.
The goblin leader frowned: "You look surprised."
"Of course I'm surprised," I said, "Stainless steel is not used to make weapons, but is used to cast cauldrons. Isn't this a waste of material?"
"How can this be a waste of materials?" The patriarch said: "Not only is this not a waste, it can even be said to be a wonderful design."
Then, she explained: "At that time, in Moonlight City, in addition to us fairies and elves, there were also many animals living there. Some of these animals were very kind and now live outside the Elf Forest. The animals are the descendants of those kind animals; while others are extremely cruel, not only bloodthirsty, but also vicious, cunning, and cruel."
She gently sniffed the aroma of the broth wafting from the cauldron, and continued: "These cruel animals not only harm those kind and similar species, but also attack our homes, bite our compatriots to death, and eat us children."
"It's so abominable!" Barbara said indignantly.
"Although we have weapons and equipment, we can't carry them with us anytime and anywhere. In this way, our nightmare-like life lasted for a long time. Finally one day, a compatriot came up with an idea, 'Since we can't carry weapons with us, Then why not make some of the daily utensils around us into props for both life and combat?' As soon as this idea came up, all of us were excited, and overnight we built several kinds of daily utensils that can be used as weapons, including There are big cauldrons like this.”
The patriarch pointed to the cauldron and said: "Not long after, we were suddenly attacked by those animals again, but this time, because we had weapons that could deal with it, we successfully repelled them and protected the safety of our compatriots. So, Xiaoyi."
The patriarch patted me on the shoulder and said, "You should understand now why we use fine steel to make pots."
I was about to express my feelings to the clan leader when I heard someone shout: "The rice buyer is back!"
I stood up and saw Zack and Billy each carrying a large bag of rice, hurried from the portal.
When they came closer, I asked Zach: "Why did you buy so much rice?"
Zach patted the woven bag: "It's just one bag, not much."
"A bag?" I turned to Billy, pointed to the other bag of rice in his hand, and said, "Where did this come from?"
Billy patted the rice bag and said, "I got it from home."
"Hey" I was happy when I heard this: "Then didn't you look for where you lost your money bag?"
"I looked for it," Billy said, "but I didn't find it."
"Then why don't you continue to look for it and instead go home to get rice?" I asked puzzledly: "Don't you feel sorry for your money?"
"What's the point of feeling bad?" Billy said disdainfully: "If you lose it, just lose it. Anyway, the total is only a few gold coins. It won't take long before I can save it again."
"Hey, this is crazy for you," I said sarcastically to Billy, "Now that Cagalli has raised your salary, you don't regard money as money anymore, right?"
Billy said without any sign of weakness: "That's because the president's generosity makes me proud today, unlike you, a miser."
"Hey, are you looking for a fight?" I stood up, raised my head, and said provocatively.
"I'll just fight, I'm afraid of you!" Billy also raised his head.
We were like two fighting cocks, about to fight over something as small as a sesame seed.
Just when the quarrel between us reached a fever pitch, I suddenly felt pain on the top of my head. I subconsciously closed my mouth and covered my head. When I turned around, I saw it was Cagalli, giving me a shudder with her little fist.
Looking at Billy who was grinning evilly across from me, I rubbed my head and planned to protest, protesting that Cagalli was unfair, why did she only hit me and not Billy!
Just when he was thinking of this, he saw Cagalli quickly walking up to Billy, raising her fist and giving him a hard blow as well.
We were both fine now, no one was arguing anymore, we were all squatting on the ground, covering our heads and moaning.
Cagalli scolded: "That's enough for you two, this is a public place, no noise is allowed, and -"
She turned to me and said, "Xiao Yi, I'm hungry!"
"Okay, I'm going to cook now!" I yelled, picked up the rice, turned around, and saw Emily walking slowly.
For a moment, I seemed to understand why Cagalli suddenly became so righteous.
This lunch was a complete mess, but fortunately, the soup didn't lose its flavor, the meat didn't get old, and the rice was cooked properly.
After the meal, we finished cleaning up, picked up the oven tools, and left the goblin territory, leaving only the big pot. Firstly, it was difficult for us to carry it, secondly, we had no place to put it, and thirdly, it wouldn’t be possible for us to come back in the future. You can bring one less kitchen utensil.
A group of us walked out of the Elf Forest, startling some elves who were about to go into the forest to dig vegetables. I smiled at them, pointed to the grill, and explained: "We are having a picnic in the forest."
The elves said nothing, looked at each other, and then nodded slightly at me.
I nodded back to them, and then continued walking forward. At this time, I felt someone tugging on my sleeve. I turned around and saw that it was the little princess.
The little princess Analetta smiled at me and said, "An Xiaoyi, you are really good at lying."
I hummed softly and said casually: "This is called adapting to circumstances, okay?"
"Tch, you are just a tough talker." The little princess curled her lips and said, "However, the soup you make is really delicious. If you don't want to be an adventurer anymore, you can come to the palace to be a cook and cook broth for me every day. drink."
After hearing this, I spread my hands and said, "Forget it, little princess, you know that even if I agree to your invitation, your sister will definitely object."
After hearing this, Princess Analetta's little face fell instantly, and she pouted in distress.
Princess Analita came over at this time, rubbed her hair lovingly, and said, "Don't be so sad. If you want to drink broth in the future, you can come over and eat at any time."
The little princess's expression suddenly became bright again.
Although I didn't say anything, I was wondering why Princess Analita didn't regard herself as an outsider at all when she spoke just now.
It sounded as if the hostess of the house was inviting the little sister next door to her house for dinner.
Could it be that she has stayed in my house for so long that she has forgotten her status as a temporary guest?
Should I give her a proper beating and pay attention to my identity?
