"It's just a Yaron." Suhlen nodded.
"Yaron is also a dragon!" Frodo exclaimed excitedly. His expression was as if he had slain a dragon. "I can't believe I'm eating with a dragon slayer. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
"Can you tell me how you killed that ferocious Cryopterus?"
Suhlen realized that apart from enjoying good food, tobacco, and wine, these halflings were also very talkative. Ever since he came here, he had not stopped talking even when it was time to eat fried tenderloin. Suhlen had no choice but to edit out the details of how he had slain the dragon and tell it to Frodo as a story. Frodo was obviously very satisfied with the story.
Since Suhlen had become a legendary, his appetite had increased again. With the addition of a halfling, the food he had prepared this time was obviously not enough. When he took out another piece of dragon tenderloin, Frodo volunteered to show off the halfling's cooking skills.
As the race with the best cooking skills on the continent, Suhlen was also very interested in the halfling's cooking skills. He agreed without hesitation. Frodo first took out a few jars and mushrooms from his pocket.
"I picked these up in the forest today. I've tasted them, and they taste very good." After adding spring water to the pot, Frodo put the mushrooms and some wild vegetables into the pot to boil the soup. He then carefully opened the jars. The jars were filled with powders made from various spices, some of which he did not recognize.
"These are the spices I was talking about. I came to the Northern Wasteland to look for these spices." Frodo picked up a small jar and opened it. He then carefully poured out a small pile of spices the size of a fingernail. "It's just a small jar. It cost me 500 Kinnar."
"But fortunately, my luck is not bad. Under the protection of the goddess, I finally found these spices. I don't have to worry about not having enough of them in the future."
Suhlen was also very interested in the spices that fascinated the halfling. As soon as the spices were poured out, Suhlen smelled a familiar scent. Wasn't this cumin? It turned out that the Halfling had come to the Northern Wasteland to look for cumin.
While Suhlen was still in shock, the Halfling began to prepare the roast meat. Soon, a rich meat aroma wafted out, and the Halfling began to sprinkle various spices evenly on the surface of the loin meat.
"Alright, have a taste of my cooking." Frodo passed the roasted tenderloin to Suhlen. Suhlen took it and shared half with Hathaway. Then, Suhlen began to taste the Halfling's cooking.
Suhlen had to admit that Halflings were really good at cooking. Although the conditions were simple, the tenderloin roasted by Frodo tasted delicious, especially after adding cumin. Suhlen ate a few pieces in a row. It could be said that this was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten since he came to this world. It could already be compared to some of the chefs in his previous world.
Hathaway's belly bulged. She pouted her red lips, which made Suhlen want to take a bite. Frodo was also happy that his food was recognized. After the three of them finished their dinner, they had a bowl of mushroom and vegetable soup. Although they were in the wilderness, the dinner was very sumptuous.
After the meal, Suhlen opened up another room in the stone room, and the three of them went to rest. After eating Cryopterus' meat, Hathaway and Frodo's bodies felt a wave of energy slowly strengthening their physique. Suhlen's physique was already very strong, and the Yaron meat could no longer increase his physique. However, it could slightly increase his resistance to the cold.
As the last wave of energy slowly merged into his body and disappeared, the System's voice rang in his ears.
"Congratulations to the host. After the battle with Cryopterus and bathing in the dragon's blood, your resistance to the cold has increased. Finally, after eating Cryopterus' meat, your resistance to the cold has reached a critical point. You will be able to adapt to most cold climates, and your resistance to special cold climates has increased. When you are attacked by all ice spells or similar spells, as well as attacks with ice effects, your damage will be reduced by 5 points. You have received the talent [Lesser Ice Resistance]."
After Suhlen received the talent [Lesser Ice Resistance], Hathaway and Frodo received the effect of + 2 in strength and + 1 in physique. This kind of increase in attributes would only occur when eating the meat for the first time. After eating the meat again, it would at most increase some temporary effects or the talent [Lesser Ice Resistance].
There were many restrictions on the increase in attributes of the meat. Other than the fact that it could not be eaten multiple times, if the user's attributes were already very high and exceeded the range of the food, the user could only taste the meat to recover their energy.
Hathaway's physique and strength were not high. As a wizard, close combat had always been her weakness. Now, she had consciously trained her close combat ability.
The next day, Suhlen woke up to a tempting fragrance. He lowered his head and looked at Hathaway in his arms. She was curled up on his chest like a kitten. He then pinched her little face. After a simple wash, he walked out of the stone room.
"You're awake. Come and try my secret fresh fish soup!" Frodo called out enthusiastically. The Cryopterus meat last night had brought him a lot of benefits. Although halflings were born with great agility, their strength was also not high. When a human reached adulthood, their strength could reach 8 points, but halflings could only reach 6 points.
"It smells so good." Hathaway, who was still sleepy, immediately woke up after smelling the fish.
"Beautiful witch, come and try the breakfast prepared by the gourmet Frodo." Frodo took out the cutlery and began to distribute the food.
In addition to the delicious fish soup, Frodo also collected some wild fruits and a jar of honey in the wild. It had to be said that halflings really put in a lot of effort to eat. They could eat so much in the wild.
The gourmet Frodo's destination was the south of Florence. He even wanted to go to the sea to try some of the local delicacies. Basically, all halfling gourmets would travel around the world. Suhlen invited him to his territory as a guest.
To be honest, Suhlen also wanted this gourmet to teach the chefs in his castle. The chef slaves bought from Calt City were only average. After tasting the cooking skills of the halflings, Suhlen suddenly felt that their cooking skills were unacceptable.
Frodo immediately accepted Suhlen's invitation. After all, it was on the way to Suhlen's territory. Suhlen also said that his territory had just brewed a new kind of wine. It was too tempting for a halfling who loved good wine.
