The dishes made for this lunch, although relatively ordinary, still amazed Krees and Phyllis.

"That's what it tastes like! Ever since you left, I've only been able to taste it in my dreams...... Even though I have that breathing meditation method of yours, I can't make it taste like this anyway......" Krees was about to burst into tears.

Ji Ran smiled: "No way, sometimes it takes talent to cook...... I think you can give up trying. ”

Ji Ran wasn't lying. If brewing requires only a certain amount of the right process to make a similar sake, then cooking is another matter entirely......

The fire is a little bigger, a little shorter, and the seasoning is a little more and a little less...... These details will greatly affect the taste of the dish. Even in the game, there are many players who have learned to cook who can't make a good dish anyway - that's a matter of talent.

When Ji Ran was leaving, he taught Krees to cook, of course, there were only a few dishes, and it was still the simplest, using the least materials and the simplest process. However, Krees studied for a long time, and what he made could still only be called inferior......

It's still the kind without attribute effects.

It is conceivable that Krees really has no talent in cooking. It also afflicted him a lot - the wine was so good that it tasted about what he brewed. But this dish is too much worse......

There is no way, it is simply an impossible task for a person from another world to comprehend the essence of the cooking skills of the eastern country in Ji Ran's original world. Even the dwarven culinary masters can only learn some of his techniques. The kind of dish that can really taste like Ji Ran's. It's not possible at all.

Of course. The taste of Krees's food is even more indescribable.

Phyllis leaned back in her chair on one side: "Oh my God." Sure enough, it's delicious...... Delicious like never before! Krees told me that I didn't believe it yet, how could there be such exaggerated food as he described? Now I believe it...... It's even better than he described! ”

With a satisfied expression on her face, Phyllis touched her belly...... She hadn't eaten as much as Alice, but not much less than Les and Baker - the latter was a big man, and a big man as a warrior!

It can be seen that Phyllis also has a rare large stomach pouch...... The point is, her figure is still very well-proportioned!

Well, the warriors of this world are generally very well-proportioned. Especially women. Of course, there are also those who deliberately eat very fat or hungry and thin to perform special martial arts, such as iron ball giant slalom or flying air splitting or something......

After the table was removed, everyone began to chat again...... Play cards by the way.

Nowadays, playing cards has become the most popular pastime among the group, and many ways of playing have been developed...... The more people there are, the more fun it is. Of course, this requires more than one deck of cards.

After teaching Krees and Phyllis for a while, they both became very interested in this peculiar way of leisure, and they soon became interested in having fun.

It has also been mentioned that Yì Jiran commercialized this playing card before...... That is, it was sold for money, but it was vetoed by Ji Ran. The reason is simple. It's too easy to imitate.

There is no patent protection in this world, once it is popular. It will flow to absolutely every corner of this world in a short period of time.

Therefore, Ji Ran only planned to use this thing as a gadget...... Maybe he'll spread this thing out when he's happy in the future.

"Krees, your Liber Kingdom really came to Ironforge this time just to negotiate some deals?" In the process of playing cards, Ji Ran asked Krees.

Kreese isn't very proficient at playing now, so he has a lot of notes on his face. But he didn't care, and when he heard Ji Ran's inquiry, he touched the back of his head: "To be honest, I don't know very well, but the news I got is true." And not only in terms of weapons and equipment, in other aspects, the Liber Kingdom also intends to have in-depth exchanges with the Dwarven Kingdom...... For example, transporting food by sea or something. ”

Ji Ran nodded. This is a matter of course, and even if the kingdom of Liber had ambitions, it would not have turned its mind on the dwarves - after all, the two sides were too far apart on the map. Even if there is a sea route, how can the sea route be so safe?

There are far more disasters on the sea than on land, and it is not easy to get through guò safely. And trying to fight on this - that's definitely a brain pump.

If it's just a business exchange, it's quite possible. The various minerals and metals produced in the Dragonspine Mountains are urgently needed by the Liber Kingdom, and weapons and armor are the best choice for equipping the army. The kingdom of Liber itself also has various specialties, and numerous alchemical items can also be marketed to the dwarves...... The result of the transaction can be regarded as mutually beneficial.

However, the matter of trade between the two sides will certainly not be so simple, and there will certainly be many negotiations and other confrontations...... But this has nothing to do with Ji Ran. In fact, he had no interest in it, he wanted to know about other things.

“…… Have you heard of it on your way here...... What about the activities of the Order of the True God in the vicinity? Ji Ran asked Krees.

Krees was stunned, and even Phyllis next to her instantly stopped laughing...... She was surprisingly talented at playing cards and soon surpassed her brother, so the mood was always happy.

However, when she heard the news of the True God Order, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. The reputation of the True God Order is notorious on the mainland, and it can be said that nothing good is related to the True God Order.

"The Order of the True God is active nearby? Is there such a thing? Isn't the range of those people's activities all human chassis? Kreese looked at Ji Ran with a stern expression.

"That's true, so we're surprised. In fact, we just had a fight with the people of the True God Cult before, and the other party even dispatched a Gold-rank powerhouse......"

Ji Ran told the previous story. He has nothing to hide from his friends. Moreover, the king of dwarves must also remind the crown prince of their ...... If something happens to the envoys of the Kingdom of Liber in Ironforge. That's a big deal.

"People from the Order of the True God appear near Ironforge? What are they going to do? Could it be that ...... "Krees is not a fool either." Since Ji Ran was so solemn, he told him about it. This has something to do with them.

"That's right, we speculate that the target of the True God Sect is likely to be the envoy group......" Then, Ji Ran said his inference. Anyway, everyone is discussing it privately, and it's okay to say it.

“…… A cup of glory? Yes, we did bring this magic guide with us this time, but this thing ...... It's not of much practical value, is it...... Why is the Order of the True God targeting this thing? This doesn't make sense! Kreese was also puzzled.

"Yes, we don't think it's reasonable." Rice picked up the conversation from the side. "But we've been thinking about it for a long time, and we really can't find anything else that could be a target for the True God Order......"

Phyllis had been listening quietly on the side, but at this time, she suddenly spoke.

"Actually...... I've heard it before. After the Cup of Glory was refined, there were always people who thought that Grandmaster Zack would not make such a meaningless thing...... After all, the materials used in the Cup of Glory are all quite high-end and rare materials, and almost every material is above the gold level. Even if he is an alchemy master and can do whatever he wants, he will not be so boring. ”

Everyone's eyes were on Phyllis, and Kreese next to her was also thoughtful.

"I've heard of this too, but countless alchemists have studied the cup of glory and have not discovered its secret. So in the end, it was all gone, and this thing was a useless product of Zack's weird temperament. Until now. The legend has faded away......"

Listening to the words of the two of them, Ji Ran and Les glanced at each other. They instinctively felt that things seemed to be moving forward again.

"It's not necessarily just a rumor...... Grandmaster Zucker also said that this was one of his greatest works. Perhaps, there is indeed some secret in the cup of glory, and those of the Order of the True God know it......"

"Unlikely." Krees shook his head, "Grandpa and I have both seen that cup of glory before, and to be honest, the materials used to make that cup of glory can be called extravagant...... And its effect is boring, but to create this effect, those materials are not unjustly spent. Therefore, even my grandfather thought that there was no secret to this cup of glory, and it was just a rather nasty joke left by Grandmaster Zack to future generations. I don't think there's any other secret in this thing...... Moreover, this secret is not known to the Kingdom of Libel, but to those of the True God Order...... This is even more unreasonable! ”

I have to say that what Krees said also makes sense. Things became confusing again, and Ji Ran and Rice pondered again......

“…… I remember the two of you who let go of this matter the other day, and now you're back to your old ways? Hmph, the True God Cult is really calculating, just sacrificing some ordinary cultists, it can make a golden rank and a quasi-golden rank become confused by themselves...... And it doesn't change! ”

Erin looked at the two of them from the side and snorted coldly. This sentence suddenly woke up Ji Ran and Rice, and they all smiled awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, I've been thinking about this thing lately, and I finally got rid of it, but I didn't expect it to be today...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. But what I'm saying is, you two have to be safe...... After all, according to our speculation, if the True God Order really did anything, it would probably be at the time when the banquet was held and the Grail of Glory was on public display...... You will also be there at that time, so remember to protect yourselves. ”

Ji Ran let out a long breath and decided to get this matter out of his head first. Today is a happy day, the whole Ironforge Castle is celebrating, and I have met an old friend...... There's no need to push yourself like that.

“…… Okay, we'll take notice. Don't worry, my strength has improved by leaps and bounds lately! And don't look down on my sister, her strength will scare you......" Krees was as he said when he suddenly received a punch to Phyllis in the head.

"What nonsense, I'm just strong, but not just strong!" Phyllis's eyes widened, clearly unhappy with Krees's description.

“…… Okay okay, you're right...... Alas, since I was a child, I have been bullied by your sister, and I have no dignity as an older brother at all......"

Krees's appearance was both aggrieved and pitiful. However, everyone else could see that the expression on his face was still a little proud...... (To be continued......)
