With the support of the mana provided by Feiqi, the little angel constantly shrouded the holy light on the potato dough, making the already yellowed dough appear as a layer of golden luster. At this time, the people standing by the mine pit began to secrete saliva, and the gurgling sound also sounded.
"No, the mana is uneven, and the operation of the ritual magic array is unbalanced, and it is always good and bad. This is not possible." Feiqi thought for a while, held the staff tightly, and distributed a little mana to use the rope of the Qi element. Then, he was pulled to the top of the hole by three ropes and floated over the bread ball. As he continued to move, the operation of the ritual was balanced and finally started.
The key below is to look at the little angel of Holy Light, but it is now full of shyness. "That... that... Mr. Big Potato Dough? No, Big Potato Dough, I am the Atonement Confession of the Goddess of Truth, the (stupid) guy who poured out is the Atonement Confession Pastor. He... I... He means, what sins have you committed, and is there anything you need to confess?"
Apart from being dug out of the soil, forcibly washed and stripped, forcibly chopped, dried and ground, and forced to water and rubbed into the mine, the large potato dough was unable to think of any crime he had committed. It was a coincidence that during the squeeze and pile up, a part of the air was stored in the large dough. Under the dual effects of the freezing array and the atonement ceremony, the surface was squeezed out and emerged. "Puff~~" an embarrassing voice sounded, and the little angel of the Holy Light was frightened and staggered in the air.
"Hurry up and hold the ceremony, it's embarrassing to me if I'm hanging." Feiqi is glad that she was wearing pants instead of robe today, otherwise she would easily be embarrassed by the exposure.
"Although you can't speak, I have received the emotion that you want to atone for purifying sins." The Holy Light Angel tried hard to find the words to complete all the steps required for the ritual. "Well... that... you have not committed unforgivable sins, nor have you ever had evil deeds that cannot be purified and understood. Here, I am willing to atone for you in the form of a ritual, and start now!"
The light of the ritual magic circle lit up, lasting for a few seconds, and then quickly faded. In just a few seconds, Feiqi's mana was almost drained, and only one of the three Qi element ropes was left, barely supporting him and not letting him fall. The little angel of Holy Light observed the ceremony and announced loudly: "The confession ceremony of atonement has been completed, the potato dough has been purified, and praise the goddess."
"Praise the goddess!" Everyone repeated.
The moment the ritual was completed, the Holy Light Angel returned to the magic seal at a lightning speed and hid it hard. Feiqi took a few breaths, summoned a second rope, and barely swung himself back outside the dough pit. Shani and Benny quickly supported him, and it was obvious that Feiqi's legs were trembling constantly.
"Thank you for your hard work," said Diedlit. "You can host such a large-scale ceremony to show that you have strong abilities. What should I do next? Are these doughs ready to be eaten?"
"Of course not," Feiqi's words shocked everyone. "How to eat raw? It needs to be cooked. Of course, it has been purified and no longer has the devil's curse."
"Very good. So how do you eat this thing and use it to make bread?"
Feiqi shook her head: "The fermentation effect of potato flour is not good. I suggest cutting a portion of it, steaming it and pouring it on the gravy as mashed potatoes, or pressing it to make it into strips. You must explore how it tastes better..." Feiqi shook her body, and Shani held him hard in her hand. "Sorry, I have to rest. Eddie, do a favor and go to the little potato dough below, roast it over fire, and I want to fill my stomach."
Hungry? Benny gently touched Shani with her elbow and signaled that she could eat jerky in her backpack. Shani shook her head gently, pretending to be nothing, and slowly helped Feiqi sit against the wall. She opened her backpack and turned a blind eye to what she had eaten, but just took out a bag of light ale for Feiqi to drink.
Eddie went down the slope to the next to the pool. It was already very cold and felt close to the freezing point. The potato dough was already hard, and she took out a dagger and finally cut off one piece. "It's so cold, will it freeze here in the future?"
"Yes, I have to use a saw in the future, or use a chisel or pickaxe to deal with the rocks." Feiqi sat down, took out a very thin stone slab from behind, rubbed it with his sleeves-and it was the sleeves-and then waited for Shani to ignite the firewood with the flint. This was obviously prepared in advance, but everyone would not care about it, as long as they knew whether these potato doughs could be eaten.
Heat the stone slabs to melt the oil on the surface, then heat the potato dough and knead it into a very thin layer. After one side is cooked, it turns around. At this time, the aroma has begun to spread, which is obviously the olfactory impression given by normal food. Feiqi rolled the dough and turned it into a long burrito, then broke a piece and put it in his mouth.
"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Although she was asking, Feiqi broke up a piece and handed it to Diderit. The Elf Paladin Lord saw the previous sacred power and had no worries at all. She picked it up and ate it.
"Feich, you're really picky about food. This thing is delicious! It has a fragrance, is easy to chew, has no residue, and doesn't feel very thirsty - I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all."
Feige gave some more or less to the people present, then stuffed the remaining big mouth into it and finished eating, clapping his hands and stood up. "Eddie, take more back and let Edmund of the Steadfast Hotel think about his ideas. Didn't he always say that he had good cooking skills? I've eaten it these days!"
"Can you believe the way Xiong Tai? The cooking skills of the Steadhammer Hotel are supported by his wife, and Edmund is only responsible for bragging." Mayor Kelson shook his head and said to Fitch: "Can I ask for some potato dough to go back? I also want to study it."
"Okay, I'll take some more or less today, and I can't take it casually in the future. This is the property of the town. Kelson, the mine is equivalent to a granary and temporarily handed over to the town of Collingwood for the time being. Lord Lord, the curse of the devil potatoes can be removed by this method, so the potatoes in the next season should be planted. The scale of the grain warehouse will continue to expand in the future, and it's best to have special people here to manage and guard it."
Didri nodded. Food is very important. Every year, the sect master spends a lot of energy in this area, gradually concentrating grain from various places to the Holy Trinity Castle. As the Paladin of the sect master, Didriet has participated in many actions in this area, but has never seen a large dough of such a scale. When the quantity reaches a certain level, even the dough can be shocking and make people feel inferior and insignificant.
"This is a good thing, this is a great thing! Feiqi, you should report the large-scale treatment method of potatoes to the CSKU, and it will definitely be of promotion value!"
"Lord, this is indeed a good thing, but it is difficult to learn other territories." Feiqi scratched his head: "The runes of the Atonement Confession Ritual Array are not difficult to draw, but they must be combined with large-scale refrigerated magic runes. At present, only I can do it. Even if I do not consider the subsequent refrigeration and preservation, just talk about this ritual. Without the cooperation of the little angel of Holy Light, it is still something I can do. In other words, although the potatoes have good returns, the risks are also high - who can guarantee that they can complete the purification?"
"Well... this is indeed a problem. What do you suggest? Don't report this matter?"
"I think it's better not to report to the sect to avoid misjudgment. Think about it, if other territories do the same, take out a lot of land to plant potatoes and then cannot be purified, what should people eat?" Feiqi scratched his head: "Let me continue to study and study to see if the entire process can be improved so that more places can purify potatoes. Report after I'm done."
"This is a safe way." Didrie nodded, and then said excitedly: "Very good, the harvest in the first half of the year has been put into storage, and such a large reserve is really reassuring. Eddie, you did a good job, what reward do you want?"
Eddie shook his head: "Lord, I am Feige's housekeeper. I just follow his instructions and I have nothing to reward."
"That's right, I'm not thinking carefully. So, as the lord, I'll give you an elf weapon. Do you prefer a dagger or a thin sword? I think you carry a dagger with you, so that's a dagger. The high-quality weapons from Elf Island are the best at the same weight, and no other race can compare to them."
"This is true, please accept it quickly." Feiqi nodded: "Lord, if there is nothing else, I want to apply for a rest. It's really tiring to host this ceremony."
"Go and go, I'll watch the big dough here for a while."
Casting spells is very tiring, but it will only affect casting spells, and it will not make Feichi's muscles ache, physical fatigue, and even standing and walking are problems. His previous performance was some performances, but as long as the work of purifying potatoes can be completed smoothly, everyone can accept this food with confidence, so this performance is not an exaggeration.
Walking back to the town after leaving the mine, Feiqi immediately stopped being sore and his legs were no longer hurt. He didn't have to go uphill and downhill in one breath. "Sir, since you're fine, can you ask you to carry the dough?"
Feiqi yelled twice, reached out to take the pocket from Eddie, and then gave it to Benny. Eddie shook his head when he saw this: "Sir, you really know how to find someone to work for me."
"I try to use everyone's strengths. Benny's strength is greater than me. This pocket frozen dough is not a problem for her, right?"
Benny nodded: "Don't worry Eddie, this is just a trivial matter. This pocket is cold, and it's quite comfortable to carry it! Sir, will we eat this in the next few days?"
"Yes, not only should we eat, but we should also eat with great fanfare so that everyone can see it. The territory has enough food reserves, which will greatly enhance people's confidence."
Eddie nodded. At the moment when the purification ceremony was completed, a big stone in her heart finally landed. With more than 200 tons of frozen dough as a base, Minas Ishir's economy would not have problems. Moreover, this was the first half of the year. In theory, potatoes could have another harvest, which would be even better. With the confidence to successfully purify, she could further promote the planting work, and believe that the harvest would increase again.
"Ah, by the way, sir, don't make any mistake." Eddie suddenly slapped his head: "One percent of the large dough in the mine is ours, and the other ninety percent are Lord Diderit - this is the income of our mill."
"Yes, I almost forgot about this. Have you told Didlit?"
"As she said, she agreed according to the convention. After all, we paid for the purchase and use of the mill. Moreover, our mill can only grind devil potatoes from now on. This is a great sacrifice and should be included in the cost. In short, Lord Lord agreed that we will account for 10%.
"So how much can we make?" Feiqi scratched his head.
"This time, I should only make a little profit. After all, I have to count the cost of the mill. I have to calculate it in detail - but I will make more money next time! Sir, this is your first real income since you were exiled!"
Is the first real income so miserable? Feiqi touched his chin and thought it was true. The soul and other things were sent to hell. He changed his life several times. Although these were income, they could not be counted on the surface. During his time as a monster hunter in the Ice Peak Fortress, he had no mission to hunt monsters, so he had no money income, and he was only given fullness. The sting was even more stingy and he called himself to perform the mission.
"Wait, I won the championship in the martial arts competition. Isn't there a bonus?"
"The bonus is used to pay for the cost of modifying Benny's full body armor, so there is no left. The main reason is that the prize money for the competition is not high, and it cannot even cover the fees." Shani sighed: "In terms of bonus, the sect can't compare to the surrounding countries. We made some money by betting on the championship in the entire competition."
"Fortunately, the potato mill is a good investment this time, and you can continue to earn income in the future." Eddie covered his mouth and laughed secretly, cleared his throat under Feich's gaze, and then explained: "Basically speaking, one-tenth of the food tax in Minas Ishir's territory has become yours!"
Feiqi was stunned for a moment, and then came back to the taste. Indeed, in order to promote potatoes this year, all the foods handed over must be used. Seventy to eight percent of the fields in Minas Ishir were used to grow this, and one-tenth of the harvest was made by Fitch's due to the mill cost.
Don’t forget that they have not planted a single piece of land in the past six months, and even the investment cost of the mill was collected this time. By the way, the potatoes used as seeds were provided by the Jiao Shu, and this cost was not counted on Feiqi.
"Wait, Eddie, please tell me you left the potatoes you want to use for planting next season--not all of them ground into powder, right?"
"Of course not, how could I forget this kind of thing. The field should leave seeds first. This is what every conscientious butler should do. Hehe, the first time I saw you, you looked so funny when you were really panicked."
"I'll let Benny give you the noodles bag when he speaks like this!" Feige glared at him to scare Eddie, who pretended to be afraid. After this great harvest, everyone looked in a good mood and the confidence to live for a long time was also established.
"If you want to make money, there is actually another idea." Feiqi wanted to show off in front of Eddie and re-establish the "glorious" image of foolproof. "Potato dough cannot be eaten directly. If you can find the most convenient processing method and convert it into a convenient food that can be truly carried and eaten, then this is also a good business. The yield of potatoes is high, and these are enough for people in the territory to eat. The next season will always be used up."
Eddie clapped his hands hard and said happily: "This is a good idea! I will find a way. Well, it seems that she has to ask Mrs. Kant to help her. Her intuition in cooking is still very keen."
"I don't understand why everyone says that Boss Edmund only knows how to brag, and that all the work is done by his wife? I think he is very busy all day long?"
"Sir, you probably don't know how he got his nickname, right?" Eddie said with a smile: "Edmund was a hunter in the past, and his skills were not very good. He just boasted that he was very good. Once he entered the Sunset Mountains alone and came back half a month later. He was blinded, but he actually carried a bear. Everyone was surprised and asked him how he hunted the bear."
"Edmund said that he had caught three long-horned deer in the mountains, but was discovered by a female bear. He found that he could not leave with three deer on his back, so he had a plan and gave the deer to the bear to show his friendship. Then the bear shared the deer with him, fought, and then slept in a hole at night. That night, he... he got on the bear and made it dark until the next day he was dizzy. As a result, after leaving the cave, he fell off the cliff and fell on the stone and died. So he carried the bear back."
Feiqi was deeply shocked, and there was such an unbelievable story! "And what? No matter how you brag, after all, he successfully brought the bear back, even if he was lucky!"
"Yes, Edmund boasted that he was the big shot who captured the bear, so he nicknamed himself Xiong Da. But..." Eddie couldn't help laughing suddenly, and covered his hands hard and kept leaking. Feige waited for her patiently for a while before finally hearing what happened later.
"The bear's corpse needs to be dealt with. In order to protect the quality of the bear skin, I found the best cobbler in the town. As a result... they found that the bear was a male! So... so his nickname changed from Xiong Da to Xiong Tai!"
Apart from admiration, Feich could no longer think of any way to describe Edmund. If his story was true, then the bear might die in shame, Feich could only admire him; if the story was false, he didn't check it all the way and brags about it. Such rough branches were also admirable enough. "What afterwards? He kept holding this nickname?"
"There is no way, this matter has spread and I can't forget it even if I want to. Fortunately, he used the money he sold Xiong to build a house, built a tavern, and married a wife. Because of his happy life, he was used to making fun of Xiong Tai's nickname to continue to this day."
"Okay, this story is legendary no matter what. Everyone deserves a wonderful life!" Feiqi couldn't think of what to use to summarize, so he could only say this.
The potatoes were purified and stored in the cold storage for a long time, which solved Feiqi's big worries. He could finally spend his energy on other things, such as the passage to hell. The matters of the fork demon and "Master Hall" must be solved, and Feiqi felt that he had to take more caution and caution and deal with it with a more guarded attitude. Especially the hell contract they mentioned, what is the power of this thing and how to operate it in detail, we cannot just listen to the "one-sided words" of the two people.
The sect will definitely not have any records in this regard. It is strange how "Master Hall" knows it. Due to the lack of memory, how "Master Hall" hooked up with the devil and how it fell step by step, and these key information cannot be found. This is why "Feich" really hopes to be pardoned so that he can go back home and may find more clues.
In this way, if you want to obtain information about the hell contract, there is only hell, such as asking other devils. This does not conflict with the current plan, just be more careful. Since caution has become the core element, Feiqi strictly implements this spirit when designing the space transmission channel.
The Elf Lord came back to take charge, and Eddie was in charge of the matters related to potatoes. Shani was in his daily life, so he could concentrate on magic design. Except for going to the front hall of Shihack Hotel three times a day to review "Edmund's Potato Dough Recipe", he would not leave the room at all, and devote himself to his work. Sometimes he used chalk to write on the blackboard, sometimes leaning against the wall, leaning his head against the cat stick, and doing calculations in the computer interface.
Every three days, Feiqi will come out to find a place where no one is to test the magic runes and verify his ideas. This time, the design is easy to use, simple, and energy-saving indicators are all abandoned, with safety and stability being put first. This will definitely greatly increase the difficulty of designing the magic array and the scale will become very large, but Feiqi believes that all this is worth it.
The progress of the magic array is increasing little by little. Although it has not been completed, some achievements have been born first. Through this design, Feiqi has gained a lot of new gains in protecting spells and illusions, and has a new experience in the use of some runes and spells. These experiences have in turn improved his magic matrix and are constantly updating and upgrading the database about runes. The two things that complement each other, which create a mutually strengthened and spiral upward pattern, which is like his cat-stick staff.
He was busy with the magic circles, and the others were busy with other things. After a while, Kelly came from the Ice Peak Fortress and sent Feichi a letter from the Holy Three Castle Cultivator.
Chapter completed!
