Chapter 203 What will you do
The bag hanging on the campfire was slowly put down. The bag filled with water was filled with steaming heat. Through the translucent bag, you can see that the milky white soup inside had been boiled very thick. Although the ingredients in the soup still maintained their original shape, the texture became soft and rotten, which looked particularly delicious. When putting down the bag, you can find that the bag felt strange, with the roughness of the wooden material, but it was soft and thin like paper. It also had a damp touch when touched, and it was difficult to tell what it was made of.
Putting the bag into the container prepared in advance, Panis carefully opened the closed bag. As soon as he opened it, a strong fragrance emerged from the bag. The aroma not only mixed with the smell of a variety of ingredients, but also brought a very obvious fragrance of bamboo leaves. It is quite interesting to enjoy a dinner with bamboo fragrance in this bamboo forest.
"Come and try it." In the wild adventure, there are few common soup trays on the dining table. When serving liquid food, ordinary bowls are used. For everyone, a bowl of soup in a steaming bag was served. The thick soup almost turned into a semi-solid gel-like shape, and it was swaying when served in the bowl, making people look forward to its taste very much.
Catherine picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth. She squinted her eyes and remained silent for a long time before she let out a breath of heat from the curious eyes of others, and said intoxicatedly: "It's hard to describe the taste in words, but it really makes people reluctant to finish them. The taste is really great and very unique. I have never tried the taste of this food."
The main ingredient of the soup is the most ordinary deer leg meat cut into small pieces. The bamboo shoots that are made of locally sourced in the bamboo forest. A light rain just came here, and a large number of tender bamboo shoots were everywhere. You can harvest a large row of fresh bamboo shoots together by digging them at will. After cutting the bamboo shoots into pieces of the same size as the venison, add some wild fruits and wild vegetables to pick. A portion of bamboo shoots and venison soup is ready. It looks very simple and is no different from ordinary soup. But once you eat it in your mouth, you will find that the taste is completely different from what you imagined.
As Katherine said, the taste of the food is very unique. The first feeling is that it is pure. Panis did not add any condiments to the food. No seasonings such as salt, sugar or pepper are added. Every topping in the soup can easily taste the natural taste of the ingredients. 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. It does not look like there are no condiments added at all.
Not only that, every time you drink a sip of soup, you can taste the rich bamboo fragrance. The girls know that this is not just the taste brought by bamboo shoots. Everyone has eaten bamboo shoots, but the bamboo shoots at that time did not have such a fragrance. The pure bamboo fragrance blended into the food not only purifies the greasy feeling of venison, but also adds a unique attraction to the food. Every girl saw the ingredients selected by Panis. There is no special place, so the only thing that may make the food more attractive is the bag that is inexplicably used as a soup pot.
"That's right, the problem lies in this bag." Under the contempt of the girls, no, not only the girls, but most of the demigods were staring at Panis with a curious look, waiting for him to reveal the mystery. In desperation, Panis had to raise his hand to surrender. He explained with a wry smile: "After cutting this giant bamboo opens up, sometimes you can find this kind of bag-like thing from the bamboo joints. I call it bamboo clothes. In fact, ordinary bamboos also have them, but they are thin and crispy and broken when touched. They are not as strong as the bamboo clothes of the giant bamboo. Put the soup in the bamboo clothes and heat them. The bamboo clothes will absorb the moisture in the soup so that they will not
When it is ignited by the flame, 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, which is a sweet taste of honey. It can be eaten as sugar, while the salt is actually salt, but it is not added directly, but applied little by little to the outside of the bamboo clothes. When the bamboo clothes absorb moisture and feed back to the soup, the salt outside will penetrate into the inside of the bamboo clothes little by little. However, 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 are eating now."
"Kyle, you guy, it's so troublesome to cook dinner. You're almost the same as the elves, hahahaha." Konada took a big gulp of ale and laughed and joked. However, although that's the case, he ate no slower than others. It's obvious that everyone knows that similar foods should only be eaten in similar bamboo forests. If you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait until many years to eat them. Therefore, enjoying the current food and putting other things aside is what a mature adventurer should do.
However, it is obvious that not every adventurer thinks so, at least not Flar and Penis. While everyone was sharing the long-awaited dinner, the two exchanged glances with each other, stood up indifferently, and quietly left the camp. Next to the campfire, Catherine's hand holding the spoon paused slightly, with a wry smile on her face, and the delicious food was put into her mouth, as if there was a lack of flavor.
When I jumped off the camp built by bamboo boards and turned around, the camp with bright fire had disappeared into the night, and the bamboo forest suddenly fell into darkness again. The bamboo forest under the night sky was silent and gloomy, and the faint sound of insects was sometimes distant in the distance. The huge bamboo was stretched out by the cold moonlight, casting several strange shadows on the ground. Under the breeze in the sky, the twisted black shadows swayed slightly, entangled with each other, forming twisted patterns that make people imagined and frightened.
The forest of death is dangerous, and the forest of death in the dark is even more dangerous. However, for people like Flar and Penis who are proficient in survival in the wild, night seems to be no different from daytime. They walk side by side in the bamboo forest, and darkness will hardly have any impact on them.
In the dark bamboo forest, the silent aura between the two was quietly spreading. Flar said he was walking together, but in the end he was just walking side by side. After walking for nearly ten minutes, neither of them said a word. Only the rustling sound of footsteps kept ringing in the bamboo forest.
"Kyle, I..." Flar's voice finally broke the silence of the night, with a low and gentle voice. In the darkness, it was like a soothing serenade, making people irresistible intoxication: "I...I...the moonlight is good tonight."
"Ahem, ahem, this is what you want to say when you pull me out?" Panis choked and almost became the first demigod to death by his spit. He finally calmed down his cough, not knowing whether it was true or false, looked at Flar's erratic gaze with a strange look, and Panis turned around and left: "Then I'm going back."
"Hey." Flar stared at Pannis with a angrily voice and said dissatisfiedly: "No wonder they always chase you and beat you. Now you have become something that makes people really want to beat you sometimes."
"Okay. OK, I'll just liven up the atmosphere." Panis touched his nose, walked back to his original position and said with a smirk: "You must hold it back, I can't stand your fists."
"Go." Flar wrinkled his nose and made a rare face at Panis. For a moment, his face as delicate as an artwork was full of charm. After Panis made such a fuss, Her Majesty the Queen also got rid of the embarrassment and tension, leaned against a giant bamboo, raised her fingers and held her long dispersed green hair. Looking up at the three moons in the sky through the sparse bamboo leaves, she whispered: "We haven't walked together like this for a long time 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." Panis leaned against the bamboo as Her Majesty, sighed and said, "It's been a long time, as if it's just a memory that happened in a dream."
"Handsome Ragna, ha, handsome Ragna." Flar whispered a few times and stared at Pannis several times, with his eyes shining like stars under the night sky: "If I hadn't habitually delayed those days, I would have expressed my thoughts directly at that time. Then everything would have developed according to different trajectories."
"Oh, that's three and a half years, not a few days, Her Majesty the Queen." Panis sighed weakly, rubbing his eyebrows and smiling bitterly, "And, things in the world do not exist. After all, no one can control time and let it flow back, so what has not happened, who knows the result?"
"Is there really no one who can control the time?" Flar said with a chuckling, "Maybe I should go and ask Fella for help."
"The premise is that you can find him," said Penis. "In theory, he is dead."
"But is he really dead?" said Flar Youran, "If he really dies, why would his followers disappear?"
"Who knows, maybe those people have made an appointment to go out for a trip together," Panis shrugged and said indifferently: "It's not worth being surprised by the strange things that those wizards with abnormal minds do, right? Besides, it's more credible than if they finally get into the cracks of time and become unknown gods, it's better for everyone to make an appointment to go out for a trip together."
"You, you just like to pretend to be stupid now." Flar secretly gave Panis a blank look, playing with the green hair on his temples: "So you should know too. The mage who is abnormal in your mouth, no matter how he changes, still attaches importance to friendship with everyone. He will not really do things that will completely betray everyone. You do know."
"What the hell do you want to say?" Panis looked at Flar with complicated eyes and asked, "Why did he suddenly mention Fella?"
"Because I'm thinking of a question." Flar's eyes avoided Panis's gaze and looked up at the ink sky: "Fella did make many mistakes, but I don't think he would betray everyone's efforts back then. He was also a witness of that battle. Betraying everyone's efforts is equivalent to betraying himself. With his personality, he would never do such a thing. So, I can't believe that he would cooperate with the half-dead people of the God servants and sacrifice the entire Yara world as a price to exchange for the possibility of his search for knowledge. His arrogance does not allow him to do this unless..."
"Unless he believes that no matter what efforts the half-dead make, it cannot threaten the safety of the Yara world." Panis sighed and said, "He also told me at the time that he believed that the half-dead have been working hard for an impossible plan."
"You are still pretending to be stupid," Flar shook his head and said with a smile: "So, what I want to talk to you? Actually, you already know very well in your heart."
"No, I don't know, not at all." Panis shook his head vigorously, but murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "At least I hope that's the case."
"Do you remember the last question I asked you when I was in the royal court before leaving? Although the answer you gave me was that you had not considered it, you and I knew that you were just lying and escaping reality." Flar did not expose Panis's lie, but said softly: "You have discovered it a long time ago. Many things are too strange. Along the way, it seems that someone always secretly helps you in the other party's camp so that you can break the plan of the God servant smoothly. I thought it was Feila at first, but when I think about it carefully, it was impossible for Feila to do such a thing, and he could not affect the other party's decision. So, who else would do this and have the ability to do this? Thinking about the reversal death curse that has not been withdrawn, the answer is actually very clear."
"Huh." Panis breathed deeply, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Nelly is likely to be alive, at least her consciousness may still exist, at least it was like this." Flar sighed and said, "However, the half-dead people claimed to have awakened Danakus. So how much her consciousness can be retained and how long it can last is a difficult thing to judge. I have heard from Asker about the process of killing one of the half-dead people. At that time, you were particularly angry, especially when you knew that they had awakened Danakus, the anger broke out in an extraordinary way, because you had already thought about the possible consequences of their behavior."
"Yeah." Panis's breathing began to become gradually rapid, as if only by answering with his nose could he cover up the tremor of his voice.
"But now I have to consider a question." Flar's words seemed ruthless, but they were very necessary. Only people as close as her were qualified to say it: "If you really face a resurrection of Neri's body, I wonder how much else can be considered her god, what would you do?"
