Under the guidance of the girl, the members of the exploration group finally carried the wild boar to a small wooden hut at the edge of the forest.
The small wooden hut didn't look like a house where people lived for a long time. It was more like a temporary resting place.
However, behind the wooden hut, there was a fence and a lot of dried food … It looked like someone lived here for a long time.
Mr. Assaches had to ask in confusion, "This wild boar, aren't we bringing it back to the village?"
"Why do you want to bring it back to the village?" the girl asked in return.
Mr. Assaches said matter-of-factly, "Such a big wild boar can be eaten for a long time, right? Aren't you a hunter in the village … or a hunter's daughter? "
The girl said indifferently, "The village doesn't lack food, and we don't even lack meat."
Mr. Leval listened and couldn't help but frown, "Then, why does this wooden hut store so many … hmm, supplies?"
"Personal hobby." The girl shrugged, "I've always had the habit of hunting, but my family isn't used to this hobby of mine. In order to not let my family know, I can't bring the game home, so I can only store it here. Over time, there are more and more things."
[Storing so much food, are you a hamster?]
Although Mr. Assaches wanted to ask this question, he thought of the girl's terrifying archery skills and decided not to say it.
"Then, what about this wild boar?" Mr. Leval asked tentatively.
The girl said, "I won't come out to hunt for a while, so I'll dry this wild boar first. Otherwise, when I come here next time, there will be problems … You guys come and help."
This seemed to be a very straightforward girl. Although she looked like she was only 14 or 15 years old, she was very nimble.
Hey!!
Mr. Arthacis' neck couldn't help but shrink back. Because he saw with his own eyes that the girl swayed her body and lifted the axe. Then, using the inertia and some skills, she directly chopped off the wild boar's head … letting out blood.
Whether it was the boss of [Rose Mansion] or the secretary of [Capital of Freedom Academy], they were both from a scholarly family. When had they ever seen such a bloody scene?
The scene of bloodletting caused a lot of commotion. The two gentlemen's faces were somewhat unsightly as they moved away a little.
However, although the young girl looked very frail, she did not seem to have any difficulty in slaughtering the wild boar. In fact, it could even be said that she was quite skilled.
But this wild boar was really too big. It was not comparable to the small animals that were being dried in the sun behind the house.
"Looks like I'll have to come here again tomorrow. Let's marinate the meat first. It's a pity that the pig blood … looks like I can only throw it away."
The girl quickly took out some pickling ingredients from the wooden house and began to fiddle with them … Boss Luo didn't say anything and just helped her.
The girl was surprised to find that this guy, who looked the quietest and most like a noble young master, was actually the one who knew how to do these chores the best. Moreover, his completion rate was beyond her expectations. It could even be said that he was quite good.
As for Assaches, who was the oldest among the three and looked a little sloppy, he was barely able to do the job … The guy who called himself Levi was really sloppy, it was obvious that he had never done any work before.
The girl had her own observations and speculations.
They didn't look like travelers who ate and slept in the wild.
But this young man called Mr. Luo really knew a lot of survival skills in the wild. It was really strange. It was the first time she saw someone make a fire so fast. It was even faster than the original owner of the wooden house.
Levi saw that he couldn't help much, so he simply walked around the wooden house and came back.
"You seem to be looking for something." The girl who was marinating the meat suddenly looked up and asked Levi who came back.
Assaches gave a look and Levi said, "One of our companions went missing. I don't know if you noticed that other than us, there were other traces of activity in the forest."
"Missing?" The girl immediately stopped what she was doing and asked with a frown, "When did this happen?"
Assaches quickly said, "It should be around two or three o 'clock in the morning. He was suddenly stimulated by something and ran away. But it was too dark at that time and we didn't see where he went. We could only wait until dawn to look for him. Then we met you. "
"I didn't see the companion you mentioned." The girl shook her head and then said calmly, "But the forest at night is very dangerous. If you can't find him, you may have to be mentally prepared … You shouldn't go out when it's dark. The world outside the village is very dangerous."
"The world outside the village?" Boss Luo suddenly asked curiously.
The girl pointed at the forest behind her and then a mountain on the other side, connecting them into a line, "The elders in the village said that a terrifying demon lives in this area. It will come out at night and eat people."
"Demon?"
Levi and Assaches couldn't help but look at each other.
Assaches frowned and said, "So, because of this legend, you have been trapped in the village and can't go out?"
The girl said indifferently, "I think there are some problems with your understanding. Maybe it's related to the lack of intelligence … I said that it will only come out at night. I didn't say that it can't come out during the day. You guys, didn't you come from the outside … Why are you looking at me like that? "
In the end, the girl couldn't help but look at Luoqiu. She saw that Boss Luo's expression was a bit strange … It seemed that there were some strange emotions.
Boss Luo said with a smile. The way the girl spoke reminded him of a friend.
The young girl, Rang Na, did not mind and simply said, "You should be mentally prepared. A person who disappears at night might really have disappeared."
"Why do you say that?" Boss Luo asked.
The girl said, "This house originally belonged to an old hunter. Then one day, he walked into the forest at night and never came back."
"Maybe he just left this place?" Assaches thought and said, "Maybe he just didn't want you to know?"
The girl didn't answer. She just looked at Assaches indifferently.
Arthashis could not help but wonder if he had said something wrong to make the other party think that there was something wrong with his intelligence.
Damn it, back in the day, I was as famous as Ludic in the [Capital of Freedom Academy] as the handsome boy!
Boss Luo said casually, "Miss Jenna, your hunting skills should have been inherited from that old hunter, right?"
The girl nodded softly and then said, "This wild boar should take some time to be dealt with. If you guys are hungry, find something to eat. The food in the house is just there anyway. But I don't have time to make it for you guys. You can make it yourself. You can also use the tools in the house. "
The girl's attitude changed so quickly that Mr. Assaches rolled his eyes.
"Then we won't hold back." Boss Luo smiled. His eyes were already looking at the iron stew pot placed outside the wooden house.
…
…
"You're early too, Mr. Hank!"
"You're early too, Miss. May the saint bless you, my Miss."
"May the saint bless you too, sir."
In a corner of the Holy City's street, a peaceful greeting was staged.
The man looked quite elegant, like a scholar. However, Hank's identity was a registered doctor in a nearby clinic. He was currently living alone in this lady's rented house.
Mr. Hank looked like he was ready to go to work.
He politely greeted the acquaintances he met on the way. Finally, he got on the tram and left the residential area.
On the high ground between the buildings, there were three pairs of eyes silently watching Mr. Hank's whereabouts — the young man in white and the two high-level angels under him.
"According to my understanding, this guy named Hank immigrated from the [Capital of the Old Covenant], one of the seven capitals … About five years before the Holy Light Kingdom."
The female angel's voice was crisp. "After he came to the [Capital of Freedom], he quickly passed the medical practitioner's exam and opened a private clinic nearby. According to the log of the Destiny System, the guy who spontaneously combusted last night took the medicine from Hank's clinic. "
"The Capital of the Old Covenant?" The young man in white frowned.
The female angel quickly said, "Maybe it's just a cover for his identity … As long as we open Hank's Destiny System, we'll know at a glance."
The young man in white nodded and said calmly, "Follow me."
…
…
"It smells so good!"
Mr. Assaches took a deep breath. The smell of food that he had never smelled before came from the iron stew pot.
He recognized the ingredients used by the residents of this mansion, but he couldn't recognize the food after it was made into a finished product!
"Which capital did this delicacy come from?" Mr. Assaches couldn't help but be curious.
He felt that if he could learn it, the kitchen of Rose Mansion might be upgraded to a higher level in the future.
Boss Luo smiled and said casually, "I learned it from Master Liu at a place called Chrysanthemum Tower."
"Chrysanthemum … What Chrysanthemum Tower?"
"Chrysanthemum Tower."
"Where is this Chrysanthemum Tower?" Mr. Assaches was in high spirits.
Boss Luo smiled and said, "To be specific, it's not within the scope of the Seven Capitals. It's somewhere in the east of the Holy Light Kingdom."
"That's a pity." Assaches shook his head with a look of pity. "If there's a chance, I really want to visit this amazing chef."
In the Holy Light Kingdom, although all the towns were built around the Seven Capitals, this was more like the result of the continuous expansion of the Seven Capitals over a long period of time.
However, in fact, at the junction of the Seven Capitals, or in the territories that were farther away than the official records of the Seven Capitals, there were still some areas that also believed in the Holy Light but were not included in the management of the Seven Capitals.
Few people knew about these things.
When they were young, Assaches and Ludic traveled with their teacher and once arrived at such a settlement, which was why they had such knowledge.
These places also believed in the Holy Light but did not have a fixed belief in any of the Seven Capitals … Basically, they directly believed in the [Heavenly Father].
"Hmm, this smell is really special. Is there a trick to it?" Mr. Assaches sighed again.
"It's onions. I added onions."
When the pot was opened, the smell of the food instantly reached its peak. Even the young girl, Jehanne, who had been quietly working, could not help but stop.
Boss Luo used the wooden bowls found in the house to divide the food in the pot and distributed it to everyone.
Assaches and Levi were really hungry … Thinking about their experience from last night until now, they indeed did not have a good meal. They did not go so far as to wolf down the food, but as they ate, they had to refill their bowls.
"Miss Jehanne, you should rest for a while." Boss Luo brought a bowl of meat soup to the young girl's side and a wet towel to wipe her hands.
The young girl's eyes lit up as she took the wet towel and said, "You're very attentive."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Because there has always been a very attentive person taking care of me, I more or less learned a little."
The young girl said, "You look like a young master of a noble family … Are they your followers?"
From the beginning, the young girl had not inquired about the identity of the three members of the exploration team … Only now did she ask.
Boss Luo said, "They're just people I met during my travels. I haven't known them for long."
The young girl held the bowl and took a small sip. Then, she narrowed her eyes as if she was feeling the changes in her taste buds. "What an amazing cuisine … Then, why did you deliberately approach me?"
These words were a little sudden.
Boss Luo immediately felt that the young girl suddenly raised her guard … He smiled casually and said, "I said, you're a little similar to a friend of mine."
The young girl frowned. Even she herself was a little surprised and said, "Male or female?"
"It's a beautiful woman." Boss Luo said softly.
The young girl Jenna did not comment, but she did not seem to be in the mood to talk. After drinking a few more mouthfuls of the broth, she suddenly said, "This broth is indeed amazing at first, but the taste is too strong. If you drink too much and eat something else, you might not even be able to taste the meat … It's a little overbearing."
Boss Luo did not care. Instead, he thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Jenna, at this rate, can you return to the village before dark?"
The young girl thought for a moment and said, "If you just want to exchange for some supplies, I can give you some of the food in this house. There's no need to go to the village. If you want to inquire about your missing companion, I'll do it as soon as possible. "
"Can you tell me more about the legend of the Forest Demon?" Boss Luo asked again.
"Why are you interested in this?" The young girl asked curiously.
Boss Luo said casually, "I'm a traveler, so I'm interested in interesting things on the road. Maybe one day in the future, I'll be able to write a book about what I've seen and heard in my life. "
The young girl said expressionlessly, "You don't think the legend of the demon is interesting."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Then it's fine to write it as a bedtime story."
What kind of bedtime story would be written as a demon's story?
The young girl could not help but look at this … this guy who looked like a noble young master.
The young girl shook her head, thought for a moment and said, "Legend has it that in the depths of the forest, there is a strange lake. There is a demon sword hidden in the lake, and this demon exists as the guardian of the demon sword …"
In the midst of the fragrance of food, the young girl slowly talked about the legend that had been passed down in her village for many years.
