Wild potatoes, yams, wild radish, slices of dried meat, and pieces of meat that have just been taken from wild goats are skewered on iron skewers and roasted to the point of a zizi. Els, who claims to be the owner of the restaurant, rolls the iron skewers on the fire, occasionally sprinkling some traditional spices; From time to time, he ran to the big iron pot on the other fire and stirred it, because a large pot of broth was simmering in it.

The elven girl of Nolda, who can't use meat, also uses a relatively flat stone platform as a cutting board with great interest, and is throwing some strange spices on top of a ball of dough that has already been kneaded, claiming to be preparing to make an elven snack called "Ledaste" for everyone. Lim and Akdina worked on the sidelines, following Nicole's instructions, squeezing all kinds of wild vegetables into a state of crushed and even juicy. Lu Xi has actually eaten this kind of dim sum, its taste is plain and elegant, and it is fragrant on the lips and teeth when chewed, and half of the mouth will be filled with a fresh breath with a long aftertaste, which is actually very suitable for the petty bourgeois taste of the elves.

In comparison, another kind of elf snack called "Lambas" is even more famous, the taste is also good, and more importantly, eating a small piece can satisfy the appetite of an adult man, which is better than any kind of field compressed ration in Lu Xi's hometown, and the taste is also good, and it also has a certain medicinal conditioning effect. However, this thing is very complicated to make, and it also involves some precious magic potions and precious spices, which are naturally even more rare in the human world, and can be sold for more than 30 to 40 gold baht in the market.

Lu Xi and Nicole each put 5 Lambas in their space bags, which was enough for a hundred people to eat a full meal. However, this is the team's last emergency ration, and it will not be moved casually.

As for the ingredients for this very sumptuous dinner. The main course is derived from a sturdy wild goat. This was encountered when everyone followed Lu Xi and slowly advanced towards this cave. Mr. Glias after getting Lu Xi's eyes to give him permission. On the spot, he put an arrow on the goat, which was visually measured to weigh at least 100 kilograms. In addition, Nivea, who was born with the ability to recognize plants. and two former adventurers from Black Manga City, who have rich experience in adventure and wilderness survival, take everyone along the way in search of edible wild vegetables and spices.

Soon, they harvested sweet potatoes, wild turnips and yams, as well as some seasonings that were very mountainous, and Nicole even found a few bread trees by the edge of a forest. There is no flesh on the inside of this tree fruit, only a white powder that tastes almost like wheat flour, and it is poured out and kneaded with a little water to make the dough directly. If you're not a gourmet, you can't tell the difference between them.

All in all. Everyone was well loaded, and the dinner in the evening was very rich. You don't know what kind of dangers will be in the rest of the trip, but at least at this time, the atmosphere is really relaxed, as if it was a picnic on an outing.

"Hey, I always feel a little too relaxed. What if you can't lift your energy? Major Grimmar expressed some concern. Like Viscount Mura, he was more worried that the smell of cooking smoke and cooked food would attract the attention of his enemies once a fire was raised, but. When they came to the entrance of the cave, they were taken aback. It was supposed that the smoke and smell of food should be wafting from the hole, but I didn't feel it at all.

"Magic can do a lot of things as long as you learn it and use it. Plainly. The magic of change and prophecy, and the magic of the elven druids all have many spells that mask our scents, including the smell of food. And I can also use the means of concentrating magic. Aggregate all the fireworks that float to the entrance of the cave. Lu Xi, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, stretched out a hand and let the two of them see that he was holding a dense mist balloon in his palm. The color of the sphere is getting darker and darker. Distinctiveness is the reason why more fireworks converge into it.

Mura was immediately in awe: "Master...... It's just too hard for you to do that. Is it just to get everyone to have a hot meal? ”

"It didn't take as much effort as it did for me to release a few fireballs. If it's just this kind of expense, I think it's really worth it to let everyone eat and sleep well. Don't thank me. Lu Xi shook his head with a smile and said, "After today, I need everyone to work hard." After that, for a long time, it will be impossible for everyone to have a chance to sleep and eat a hot meal. So, Major, and Mura's intuition, take the moment to rest. ”

The leader of the Federation Volunteers and the leader of the Nord Volunteers glanced at each other, as if they had reached a consensus with their eyes, and finally, the eldest of the two, Major Grimmar, said, "In that case, we would also like to have a serious discussion with you about the next step." Master, in the eyes of others, your actions are almost a suicide act, and even if you return with a broken army, it is considered extremely lucky. However, I have seen the experience of fighting alongside you with these eyes...... Heroic and unscrupulous are two different things, and I can be sure that you are not a scheming person. Therefore, the reason why we are willing to follow you to 'commit suicide' is that we believe that you will be able to create a miracle again. I'm sure His Excellency Viscount Mura thinks so too. ”

Mura smiled casually: "Hehe, although I have not participated in the Heroic Spirit Path of His Highness Artoria before, and I am not blessed to fight side by side with you, but your wisdom will also be heard." Although it is in place of His Highness Olivier to participate in such an honorable mission as a volunteer, is it not my personal luck and honor? ”

“…… Major, you and Viscount Mura have come to compliment me by putting on such a stern appearance? This kind of scene is actually quite familiar, and when it comes to the next step, can't you ask me questions directly? ”

"Well, actually, we're trying to know, Master, what's your next course of action? The main landing sites of the survivors are mainly on both sides of the Ironstone Canyon, which is definitely a key defense area for the enemy, and it is impossible for us to get close. So how do we bring together or rescue the survivors? If it's just playing hide and seek with the enemy in the mountains, I trust your leadership, and they won't be able to find us even for months. That's it. What is the point of our actions? ”

"Uh, that's how straight it was when you first came up?" Lu Xi smiled bitterly: "But." Even if you don't come, I'm going to find a way to talk to you about it. ”

Lu Xi clapped his hands. He beckoned to Panarhis, who was lying on his stomach and was pitting meat and bones: "Hey, old Pa, you should have eaten almost, come and talk to us." ”

Maybe it was because he was eating too happily, and it took a long time for the snow leopard to react that Lu Xi was calling him, so he quickly threw down the meat and bones, and ran over in three steps and two steps. After such a long period of possession, it has finally mastered the body of this big cat, and the cute flat fall that he liked to see before is naturally invisible. But because of its frighteningly large size, it is naturally impossible to move and leap like a real snow leopard. If it weren't for Lu Xi's coercion and temptation, this herbivore-based waste cat would definitely not be willing to do such a challenging job as drilling into the forest this time. This wild goat's meat and bone was probably the most palatable meal Panarhiss had eaten in a few days.

"What's the matter? I'm here for you, my master. ”

"Say what you know again, the more detailed the better." Lu Xidao.

Lu Xi has a talking snow leopard, which is indeed a novelty, but not so new that it will surprise well-informed people like Grimar and Mura. After all, magicians are a group that transcends common sense. It's true that ordinary snow leopards can't speak, but who knows if this snow leopard is some phantom beast summoned from an alien plane? Although to this day, this snow leopard has not shown any expected abilities, but has been complaining from beginning to end. It's a waste who can't suffer from lack of exercise, and it's even more squeamish than Akdina's little Lori.

However, the first words of this "useless" animal were spoken. But they were taken aback at the same time.

"In the direction we are traveling, there is a relic left over from the Age of the Gods. It is the remains of the ancient Elven Empire and the extinct ancient Samanchar people, and it is now more than 30,000 years old. Belch. When I was a child, I was taken by my elders to visit it once, and I still remember the mechanism and the solution to the labyrinth. ”

"Sammanshire? This, this ......" Major Grimmar is still a little confused, although he is an old soldier, he has not read too many books, and naturally does not have too much historical knowledge, but the Viscount Mura on the side is different. As a descendant of the famous Jiangmen family in the Vekia Empire, in addition to being exposed to the art of war since he was a child, of course, he also seriously received systematic higher education.

Like the Nords, the Sammanshir are a race that has been wiped out in the long river of history, but it was also strong in the past. At the height of the Sammanchar empire in the Age of the Gods, its territory included the current kingdoms of Goting, Milan, and Velcro, as well as the Dragonclaw Peninsula further south, including the Henas Peninsula, now the land of the Necromancy. In this way, its land area has even surpassed the current Holy Auckland Empire, the overlord of the nations.

Of course, even now, the nobility and even the royal family of these small countries are trying to find ways to use all kinds of legends or forged evidence to have a little subtle kinship with this ancient empire that has been extinct for more than 10,000 years.

It is said, and of course it is also said, that the earliest vampire true ancestor, that is, the first emperor of the blood clan, Iosar? Abel was the last emperor of the Sammanchar Empire. In his later years, in order to pursue "immortality" and "immortality", he was tempted by the demon god and the Bloody Lady, and finally caused the entire royal family and a large number of nobles who followed him to fall into the devil's path.

After Viscount Mula's explanation, Major Grimar nodded suddenly, but still asked suspiciously, "However, even if we know that there is such a ruin, what does it have to do with us?" ”

You don't think you're still in the mood to go down to the ruins to explore the treasures, right? I know that you mages have always had this problem, but you need to see the timing, right? Grimmar's eyes were a little subtle, as if he was silently expressing the above feelings.

Lu Xi shrugged and smiled, motioning for everyone to continue listening.

"That ruin was actually an alliance between the ancient elves and the Sammanshire, in order to fight against the Gersara Empire in the north at that time. Well, at that time, the Great Wilderness of Orgrimmar was still called Ghsara, and it was still a very fertile land, and the Gelsars who ruled it were believers in Lagbar, the god of conquest and enslavement, a powerful, warlike and brutal people, and the orcs and trolls were still only slaves. ”

Gersa is the name of historians, in fact, this is a species that is absolutely different from humans, its lifespan, elemental affinity, and handsome facial features are comparable to the ancient elves of the golden seed, and the strength of the body can also be comparable to that of orcs. They are also one of the golden species of antiquity, and even the most perfect race. Perhaps the only drawback is its bloodthirsty, brutal and irritable national character. According to historical documents, the average height of this creature is about 2 meters, and it is slender and slender, with steely blue-black skin, bright silver hair and purple pupils.

Such a powerful empire will inevitably perish with the fall of the god of conquest and enslavement, the patron saint they worship and worship. The last Gerza with a clear historical record died in the Qiming War, which is known as the most perfect golden species, but it also became the first golden species to be wiped out.

However, the ancient elves and Sammanchar at that time would never have foreseen the destruction of their enemies 30,000 years later, and in their eyes, this was an almost invincible opponent.

"In order to fight against this formidable enemy, the ancient elves and Samanijors built such a huge hiding cave in the dark jungle and under the Namoya Mountains, which not only included a large barracks and storehouses, but also could store a large amount of food and weapons, and definitely could accommodate an army of 100,000 to be stationed in it for more than a year. This cave can not only be used as a refuge after defeat, but also can ambush a large-scale surprise army, maybe in the middle of the war, it can become a surprise soldier who can turn the tide of the war. ”

"Wait...... Mr. Snow Leopard, do you mean that this ruin was built under Mount Namoa and the dark jungle? "Viscount Mura seems to have guessed something.

"That's right, one of his gates is near the Iron Rock Canyon, which is the direction we're heading. The other gate opens in the dark forest. Panarheath said.

"Looks like you guessed what I was thinking, right?" Lu Xi looked at the two people with abrupt expressions, and said his plan for the first time: "When I was evacuating, I immediately used the signal light to tell Sai Xiliu the location of the gate and the method of entry, and the guò code signal. My Seyriliu is also the president of the student council of the Central Academy of Magic, and she is a good girl with both judgment and decision-making, and she will definitely understand what I mean. If she had been in the ruins, she would have already entered the ruins. The gate was very well hidden, and there was no way to find it if there was no way to enter it. All we need to do now is to make our way to the ruins gate, and if we encounter survivors or comrades who have been captured by the enemy on the way, we can rescue them and take them all there. Then, all we have to do is go through the underground ruins of Guò, exit through another gate in the Black Forest, and then walk through the forest back to the Black Mancheng City...... Let's live! ”

"This ......" Major Grimmar's expression froze in surprise, and it took a long time before it turned into a wry smile: "Master, I don't know whether to say it's whimsical or if you're bold. But, uh, the following may be a bit unpleasant, but ......"

"I see what you're trying to say, Major Grimmar." Lu Xi interrupted the other party: "Sai Xiliu is fine now, if something really happens to her, I won't be able to live." So, she must not have had an accident! I'm a firm believer in that. ”

The above words were not convincing at all, but they moved both Major Grimmar and Viscount Mura.

"In any case, this bold plan is also the one we have the highest success rate so far. Now that we're here, we're willing to fight to the death for you. ”

"It's not for me to fight to the death, but for these colleagues who are still trapped in the mountains." Lu Xi smiled and waved his hand: "Now, your task is to eat a big meal and get a good night's sleep, if my prediction is correct, tomorrow we will have a fierce battle." We're ready to pursue zero casualties, and we can't recharge our energy well. (To be continued......)
