The bag hanging from the campfire was slowly lowered, and the steaming heat was rising from the tightly sealed bag filled with water, and through the translucent bag, you could see that the milky white soup inside had been boiled very thick, and although the ingredients in the soup still maintained their original shape, the texture became soft and rotten, and it looked particularly delicious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 When you put the bag down, you can see that the bag feels strange, with the roughness of wooden materials, but it is soft and light like paper, and there is a damp touch to the touch, so it is difficult to tell what it is made of.

Placing the bag in the pre-prepared container, Pannis carefully opened the closed opening, and as soon as it was opened, a strong aroma emerged from the mouth of the bag. The aroma is not only mixed with the flavors of various ingredients, but also has a clear fragrance of bamboo leaves, and it is interesting to enjoy a dinner with the fragrance of bamboo in this bamboo forest.

"Let's try it. "For the sake of convenience in wild adventures, there are very few soup plates on the table, and ordinary bowls are more often used for liquid food. Everyone was served a bowl of soup in a steaming bag, and the thick soup almost turned into a semi-solid gelatinous form, and when it was put into the bowl, it still swayed, and people were very excited about its taste.

Catherine picked up the spoon, elegantly scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, squinted her eyes and was silent for a long time, before she spit out a breath of hot air under the curious eyes of others, and said with an intoxicated face: "It's hard to describe the taste in words, but it's really hard to eat them, the taste is so good, and it's very unique, I've never tried the taste of this food." ”

The main ingredient of the soup is the most common deer leg meat cut into small pieces, and the venison is accompanied by bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest, where a light rain has just fallen, and a large number of fresh bamboo shoots are everywhere, and a large row of fresh bamboo shoots can be harvested with a single digging. After cutting the bamboo shoots into pieces the same size as the venison, and adding some hand-picked wild fruits and vegetables, a bamboo shoot venison soup is ready. Everything looks very simple and is no different from a regular soup, but once you eat it, you will find that the taste is completely different from what you imagined.

As Catherine said, the taste of the food is very unique. The first feeling is purity, Pannis does not add any condiments to the food, whether it is salt, sugar or pepper and other seasonings, every ingredient in the soup, you can easily taste the natural taste of the ingredients themselves. However, this does not mean that the food is bland and tasteless, in fact, the soup is moderately salty and has a faint sweet aroma, which is not at all like there are no added condiments.

Not only that, every time you drink a sip of thick soup, you can taste the rich bamboo fragrance, the girls know that this is not only the taste of bamboo shoots, everyone has eaten bamboo shoots, but the bamboo shoots at that time did not have such a fragrance. The pure bamboo aroma blends into the food, which not only purifies the oiliness of the venison, but also adds a unique appeal to the food. The ingredients that Pannis chose, every girl has seen, there is nothing special, so the only thing that may make the food more attractive is the bag that was inexplicably used as a soup pot.

"That's right, the problem is in this bag. Under the contempt of the maidens, no, not only the maidens, but most of the demigods were staring at Pannith with a curious gaze, waiting for him to uncover the mystery, and in desperation, Pannis had to raise his hand in surrender, and explained with a wry smile: "After cutting open this giant bamboo of death, sometimes you can find this bag-like thing from the bamboo joint, I call it bamboo clothing." In fact, there are ordinary bamboos, but they are thin and brittle and break when touched, not as strong as the bamboo clothes of the Death Giant Bamboo. Heat the soup in the bamboo clothes, the bamboo clothes will absorb the water in the soup so that they will not be ignited by the flames, and the aroma of the bamboo clothes will easily enter the food and mix with the ingredients. As for the taste, the sweetness is provided by the honeycomb fruit, the sweetness of the honey can be eaten as sugar, and the saltiness is actually salt, but it is not directly added, but smeared on the outside of the bamboo clothes little by little, when the bamboo clothes absorb the water and then feed back to the soup, the salt outside will seep into the inside of the bamboo clothes little by little, but due to the characteristics of the bamboo clothes, the impurities in the salt are left outside, and only the purest salt enters the soup, so there is the taste you eat now. ”

"Kyle, you guy, you've made so much trouble cooking dinner, you're almost like the elves, hahahaha. Corenda poured a large sip of ale wine, laughing and teasing, but having said that, he ate no slower than the others, obviously, everyone knows that similar food should only be possible to eat in similar bamboo forests, miss this opportunity, and if you want to eat it again, I am afraid that it will take an unknown number of years to eat, so enjoy the food of the moment and put other things aside, this is what a mature adventurer should do.

However, apparently not every adventurer thought so, at least not Vral and Pannis, and while everyone was sharing the long-awaited dinner, the two exchanged glances with each other, got up unobtrusively, and quietly left the camp. By the campfire, Catherine's hand holding the spoon paused slightly, a wry smile appeared on her face, and the delicious food seemed to lack some taste when she put it in her mouth.

Jumping off the camp made of bamboo planks, when I turned back, the brightly lit camp had disappeared into the night, and the bamboo forest suddenly fell back into darkness. The bamboo forest at night was silent and eerie, the faint sound of insects came and went in the distance, and the huge bamboo was elongated by the cold moonlight, casting a few strange shadows on the ground. Under the breeze in the sky, the distorted black shadows swayed slightly, entangled with each other, forming a series of terrifying twisted patterns.

The Forest of Death is dangerous, and the Forest of Death in the dark is even more dangerous, but for people like Vral and Pannis, who are proficient in survival in the wild, night and day do not seem to be any different, and the two walk side by side in the bamboo forest, and the darkness will hardly affect them.

In the dark bamboo forest, the silent atmosphere between the two was quietly spreading, and Vral said that they were walking together, but it turned out that they were really just walking side by side, and they walked for nearly ten minutes, but neither of them said a word, only the rustle of footsteps, which kept sounding in the bamboo forest.

"Kyle, I ......" Vral's voice finally broke the silence of the night, a low and soft voice, like a soothing serenade in the darkness, making people irresistibly intoxicated: "I...... I...... The moon is nice tonight. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, is this what you pulled me out to say?" Pannis choked and almost became the first demigod to be choked to death by his own spit. Finally calmed down the cough that I didn't know if it was true or not, and looked at Voral's erratic gaze with strange eyes, Pannis turned around and left: "Then I'll go back." ”

"Hey. Vral stared at Pannis with disgust, and said dissatisfiedly: "No wonder they are always chasing you, you have become so popular that sometimes you really can't help but want to beat you." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm just warming up the atmosphere. Pannis touched his nose, walked back to his place and said with a smile: "You must hold back, I can't stand your fists." ”

"Hush. Vral wrinkled his nose and grimaced at Pannis, and for a moment his face, as delicate as a work of art, was full of charm. Her Majesty also got rid of the embarrassment and nervousness of being troubled by Pannis, leaned on a giant bamboo, cocked her fingers and held her long green hair, looked up at the three moons in the sky through the sparse bamboo leaves, and whispered: "It's been a long time since we've walked together like this to see the moon." ”

"It's not easy to hear this word from your mouth for a long time, I thought there was no such word in the elves' vocabulary at all. Pannis, following the example of Her Majesty, leaned against the bamboo, sighed and said, "It's been a long time, and it's been like a dream memory." ”

"Handsome Ragnar, oh, handsome Ragnar. Vral whispered a few times of the name from a legend, and suddenly stared at Pannis, his eyes shining like stars in the night sky: "If I hadn't habitually procrastinated for a few days, and had expressed my thoughts directly, then everything would have developed according to a different trajectory." ”

"Alas, it was three and a half years, not days, Your Majesty. Pannis lowered his shoulders weakly and sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said with a wry smile: "Moreover, there is no such thing as an if, after all, no one can manipulate time to turn it back, so what has not happened, who knows the outcome?"

"Is there really no one who can control time?" said Vral with a chuckle, "Maybe I should go to Fira for help." ”

"If you can find him. Pannis said, "Theoretically, he's dead." ”

"But is he really dead?" said Vral leisurely, "and if he is really dead, why did those followers of him disappear?"

"Who knows, maybe those people have made an appointment to travel together. Pannis shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Those mages with abnormal minds are not surprising to do any strange things, right? ”

"You just like to play stupid now. Vral secretly glanced at Pannis, and his fingers played with the green hair on his sideburns: "So you should also know, the mage with an abnormal mind in your mouth, no matter how he changes, he still values his friendship with everyone, he will not really do those things that will completely betray everyone, you do know." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Pannis asked, looking at Vral with a complicated look, "Why did you suddenly mention Fira?"

"Because I'm thinking about a question. Vral avoided Pannis's gaze and looked up at the inky sky: "Fira did make a lot of mistakes, but I don't think he would betray everyone's efforts back then, he was also a witness to that battle, betraying everyone's efforts is equivalent to betraying himself, with his character, he would never do such a thing." Therefore, I have never been able to believe that he would cooperate with the half-dead of the Servants of the Gods, at the expense of the entire Yarra world, in exchange for the possibility of his quest for knowledge, and his pride would not allow him to do so, unless ......"

"Unless he thinks that no matter what efforts the half-dead do, they can't threaten the safety of Yara's world. Pannis sighed and said, "He told me that he thought the half-dead had been working on a plan that was impossible to succeed. ”

"You're still playing dumb. Vral shook his head and said with a smile: "So, what I want to talk to you about, in fact, you already know it in your heart." ”

"No, I don't know, not at all. Pannis shook his head vigorously, but muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "At least I hope so." ”

"Do you remember the last question I asked you before leaving, when I was in the royal court? Although the answer you gave me was that I hadn't thought about it, you and I both knew that you were just lying, escaping from reality. Vral didn't expose Pannis's lies, but said softly: "You have already found out, many things are too strange, you have come this way, it seems that there are always people secretly helping you in the other party's camp, so that you can smoothly break the plan of the servant, I began to think it was Fira, but think about it carefully, Fira's situation is impossible to do this kind of thing, and he can't influence the other party's decision-making." So, who else would do this, and have the ability to do it? When you think about the Reverse Death Curse that has never been withdrawn from you, the answer is pretty clear. ”

"Whew. Pannis exhaled deeply, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Nelly is probably still alive, at least her consciousness is probably still there, at least it was originally. Vral sighed and said, "However, the half-dead claim to have awakened Danakus, so it is difficult to judge how much of her consciousness can be retained, and how long it can last." I've heard from Asker about your killing of one of the half-dead, and you're feeling furious, especially when you know they've awakened Danakus, and your anger erupts beyond the ordinary, because you've thought about the possible consequences of their actions. ”

"Yes. Pannis's breathing began to grow rapid, and it seemed that only a reply through his nose could hide the tremor of his voice.

"But now we have to think about something. Vral's words seemed ruthless, but they were necessary, and only someone as close to her could say them: "What would you do if you were really faced with a god who used Nelly's body to resurrect and wondered how much of it would be considered her god?"

"I ......," Pannis opened his mouth, but could not continue a word. (To be continued.) )
