"Do you know," said the elf patriarch, "making a cauldron out of steel is the method that our elves teach to the elves. ”

"Huh? What did you teach them? "I was amazed.

The fairy patriarch frowned, "You look surprised. ”

"Of course I'm surprised," I said, "Isn't it a waste of material that steel is not used to make weapons, but to cast cauldrons?" ”

"How can this be a waste of material?" 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 our elves and elves, there were many animals, and among these animals, some were very kind, and the animals that now live on the periphery of the elven forest are the descendants of those kind animals; Others, on the other hand, are unusually brutal, not only bloodthirsty, but also vicious, cunning, and ruthless. ”

She sniffed lightly at the smell of broth wafting from the cauldron and continued: "These brutal animals, not only endangering their kind kind, but also attacking our dwellings, biting our fellow citizens to death, and eating our children. ”

"It's so damnable!" Barbara said indignantly.

"Although we have weapons and equipment, but we can't carry them with us anytime and anywhere, just like that, the nightmarish life lasted for a long time, and finally one day, a compatriot came up with an idea, 'Since we can't carry weapons with us, then why don't we make some of the living utensils around us into dual-use props for life and combat', as soon as this idea came out, all of us boiled, and created several kinds of living utensils that could be used as weapons overnight, including a cauldron 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 ah, Xiao Yi." ”

The patriarch patted me on the shoulder and said, "You should understand by now why we use steel to make pots. ”

I was about to express my feelings to the patriarch when someone shouted, "The one who bought the rice has returned!" ”

I stood up and saw Zach and Billy hurrying from the portal with a large bag of rice.

When they got closer, I asked Zach, "How did you buy so much rice?" ”

Zach patted the woven bag: "It's only 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 back from home." ”

"Yo" I heard it and was happy: "Then didn't you go and look for your money bag and leave it?" ”

"I found it," Billy said, "but I didn't find it." ”

"Then why don't you keep looking for it, but go home and get rice?" I wondered, "Don't you feel sorry for your money?" ”

"What's so distressing about that" Billy said disdainfully: "If you lose it, you lose it, anyway, it's only a few gold coins added together, and it won't be long before I can save it back." ”

"Hey, that's crazy for you," I sarcastically said to Billy, "Cagalli gave you a raise, and you started to stop taking money as money, didn't you?" ”

Billy said without showing weakness: "That's it, the Elder Adult's generosity, which is why I have the pride I have today, unlike you, miser." ”

"Hey, looking for a fight, right?" I stood up, threw my head back, and said defiantly.

"Hit it, I'm afraid of you!" Billy raised his head as well.

The two of us are like two fighting cocks, and we are about to fight because of a broken thing the size of a sesame seed.

Just when the quarrel between the two of us reached a fever pitch, there was a sudden pain on the top of my head, and I subconsciously closed my mouth, covered my head, and turned my face to see that it was Cagalli, who gave me a shock with her little fist.

Looking at Billy who was smiling evilly on the other side, I rubbed my head, planning to come to protest that Cagalli was unfair, why did she only beat me alone, not Billy!

Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Cagalli walk quickly in front of Billy, raise her fist, and give him a blow as badly.

Now the two of us are fine, no one is noisy, we are both squatting on the ground, covering our heads and moaning.

Cagalli reprimanded, "Enough of you two, this is a public place, no fighting, and-"

She turned to me and said, "Xiao Yi, I'm hungry!" ”

"Okay, I'll cook!" With a shout, I picked up the rice, and as soon as I turned around, I saw Emily walking slowly.

For a moment, I seemed to understand why Cagalli had suddenly become so righteous.

The lunch was a mixed bag, but thankfully, the soup didn't lose its flavor, the meat didn't get old, and the rice was cooked just right.

After the meal, we cleaned up, picked up the oven tools, and left the fairy territory, but left the cauldron behind, one is that we are not easy to carry, the second is that we have no place to put it, and the third is that we can come back in the future, and we can also bring one less kitchen utensils.

We walked out of the Elven Forest and startled some of the elves who were about to go into the forest to dig vegetables, and I smiled at them, pointed to the grill, and explained, "We're having a picnic in the forest." ”

The elves didn't speak, looked at each other, and nodded at me.

I nodded at them in return, and then continued to walk forward, at this time, I felt someone pulling my sleeve, and when I turned my head, it was the little princess.

The little princess Anareta smiled at me and said, "An Xiaoyi, you are really good at lying." ”

I snorted lightly and said casually, "It's called improvisation." ”

"Cut, you just have a hard mouth" The little princess pursed her lips and said, "However, the soup you make is really delicious, and if you don't want to be an adventurer in the future, you can come to the palace to be a cook and cook broth for me to drink every day." ”

After hearing this, I spread my hands and said, "Forget it, little princess, you also know that even if I agree to your invitation, your sister will definitely object." ”

Hearing this, Princess Anareta's little face instantly collapsed, and she pouted in distress.

Princess Anarita came over at this time, rubbed her hair dotingly, and said, "Don't be so sad, if you want to drink broth in the future, you can come over at any time to eat." ”

The little princess's expression suddenly brightened again.

Although I didn't speak, I wondered in my heart, why didn't Princess Analita speak in the tone she just said and didn't think of herself as an outsider at all.

It sounds like the hostess of the house, inviting the little sister next door to come to the house for dinner.

Could it be that she's been in my house for so long that she's forgotten she's a temporary guest?

Shouldn't I give her a proper slap and pay attention to my identity?
