Caligula walked on the ice of the deep lake in the lizard swamp with a blue fine iron spear. He chose a place, nodded selfishly, with a simple smile on his face, poked several times on the hard ice with a sharp spear tip, and the small holes left can be connected into a circle with a diameter of 1.5 meters.
Then, the burly man stamped on the center of the circle, and the cold lake water was squeezed by the broken ice and sprayed out of the gap. Aka''s skill was surprisingly dexterous. He slipped to the side at the moment of stamping off the ice. Not only did he not get his boots wet by the gushing lake water, he also skillfully exerted force to turn the broken round ice over.
He looked back at the spear without looking back, and the overturned ice hit the spear tip. Half a meter thick, round table sized ice was easily picked up from the lake and rolled away, leaving a circular deep well on the light blue lake ice.
At this time, Brandon and Klaus with several light armor guards rushed to the scene from behind. Klaus commanded the light armor guard to spread the bag woven with dry reeds on the ice, poured the bait specially made by Wizard imosen into the ice well, and then put the long handle fishing net bag into the lake to stir constantly.
Brandon, who had nothing to do, patted Caligula on the arm and exclaimed, "Hey, aka, you just broke the ice. It''s so beautiful."
Aka is simple and likes to be praised most. He raises his head and says proudly, "these ice holes are all opened by aka. Aka has opened many good ice holes and has to fight more and better ice holes. You fish, aka will fight ice holes."
He found a direction and ran away excitedly. The three meter long refined iron spear was held by his big hand, which seemed full of joy.
Brandon laughed twice and suddenly felt a little lost. As a first-class bronze knight who ignites the fire of his heart, he can open an ice hole like Caligula, but aka can always avoid the weak lake ice and dig wells where there are the most abundant fish.
Caligula''s ice breaking efficiency is the highest, and Brandon can only do some rough fishing with the guards. This made him especially depressed when he just became a bronze knight. He wanted to show his skills, but he couldn''t find a suitable opportunity.
"I said, Brandon, don''t be stunned. Hurry to catch the fish." Klaus threw a long handle fishing net pocket and warned, "when the taste of bait dissipates, this ice hole can only be used for fishing."
The bait made by the wizard has played an effective role. Countless fish swim to the wellhead. They gather more and more. Looking at it, there are upward vertical fish heads. The scene of crowded together is a little scary. Another three foot long fish jumped out of the water one by one and landed on the ice. The movement of the fish''s tail beating the ice was like lively applause.
Klaus and the light guard didn''t have time to pick up the fish that came to the door automatically. They waved their long handled fish net bags in turn and tried to scoop up the fish in the ice hole.
Brandon joined the fishing team and muttered, "we caught almost 7000 pounds in half a day."
"Not enough for the dragon lizard... Fierce war dogs and bear dogs are also big stomach kings." Klaus analyzed the fish and said, "I think it will take three days to catch the fish, and the physical fitness of war animals and soul soldiers can recover to their peak."
Brandon poured a full bag of fish into the trawl, stopped and asked expectantly, "do you think we''ll fight the nearby lizard tribe?"
Klaus was stunned and asked, "is that how you want to fight the swamp half dragon?"
"Hey, hey, since we were promoted to knight, we have only killed those timid and weak goblins, and haven''t met decent opponents... Don''t you want to try the power of half dragon people?" Brandon asked back, taking Klaus on the shoulder.
Klaus was also a young man. He was a little excited by Brandon, but he thought about it, shook his head and said: "I don''t think the master will fight with the half dragon tribe. I can''t think of any benefit. As long as those half dragon people drill into the water, we can''t get them. If we can''t completely disintegrate their combat power, they can sneak into our antelope camel transport team at any time, even reduce the elite combat personnel of the family... The master''s goal is the ant man monster in the endless forest, We shouldn''t lose our hands here. "
Brandon admitted Klaus''s analysis was reasonable. He said unconvinced, "I think the master wants to fight the half dragon tribe."
Klaus asked curiously, "why do you think so?"
Brandon just said it casually. He caught a glimpse of the round red catfish in the trawl. His mind flashed and said: "This season, female fish have eggs. Fishing like us will certainly affect the livelihood of the half dragon tribe in the coming year. They won''t give up... The master is a university student. Why doesn''t he know these things? He asked us to catch fish and was ready to go to war with the half Dragon tribe."
Klaus thought for a moment, nodded and said, "you have a point. However, the ferocity ratio of half dragon people is 70 to 1, that is to say, there are about 9000 members of the nearby half dragon tribe, including at least 1000 ferocious half dragon soldiers."
Brandon held the hilt of the sword around his waist and said calmly, "the half dragon tribe has some strength, but we have the master and four ladies, as well as two big monsters kept by imosen... The half dragon people can''t stand it."
Klaus looked at Brandon strangely, nodded and said, "yes, the fierce half dragons have dangerous intuition. Do you think they dare to come and die?"
Brandon''s high spirited expression suddenly collapsed and hesitated, "that''s not sure. The orcs are stupid..."
"How about we make a bet?" Klaus said with a bad smile, "you''re afraid of losing."
Brandon was guilty and hard spoken. "Who''s afraid of losing? What''s the bet?"
"Whoever loses will eat red catfish for three days. He doesn''t eat other food, only red catfish."
The swamp red catfish is fresh and tender, and there are no fish bones, but Brandon has almost vomited after eating the red catfish these days. In fact, except for aka, the four Dragon maids and the elite guards of the family, others are a little nervous when they see the red catfish.
Brandon frowned and said fiercely, "OK, I''ll bet with you..."
As the two men were talking, a cheerful and loud dog barked in the distance, and a bear and dog with snow-white fur was running towards this side. It is bigger than Randall''s fierce fighting dog, almost equal to the spotted tiger. Its full muscles move under its shiny fur, showing a smooth beauty - that is the beauty of strength and agility, and the difference between a fierce dog and an ordinary canine.
The bright tusks and bright red eyes outside the snout show that this is a deeply ferocious War dog with a rare talent for bloodthirsty. But it is not as majestic as Randall''s fierce war mastiff. Its long tongue swings left and right outside its mouth. It is very funny, but it is full of self-confidence.
Brandon and Klaus recognize this funny and confident fierce fighting dog. It is the first fierce bear dog of Randall family. It is only three and a half years old and raised by bertina.
The story of bertina and "white bread" was talked about by the attendants of silver moon manor.
A few years ago, imosen, the hunting manager of Randall family, bred bear dogs on the basis of guard dogs and guard dogs. Each litter of bear puppies had to be strictly screened by him, and all unqualified ones were eliminated. Among them, one white pup was abandoned because of its conspicuous fur and weak physique. Fortunately, bertina picked up the poor lucky white puppy back to the silver moon manor as a pet.
The ferocity ratio of the Lord''s war dogs is generally 200:1. The deep ferocity of the war dogs can only depend on luck. Emerson claimed that the ratio of ferocity of bear dogs was 120:1, but everyone regarded him as bragging - none of his previously bred guard dogs and guard dogs were ferocious. But who could have expected that the white bear dog brought back by Bell ate and drank in the manor every day, pretended to be good and sell cute, but it was violent, and it was still deeply violent.
Normally, ordinary people can''t control fierce war dogs at all. They are fierce by nature, despise the weak, and only obey their powerful masters. The "white bread" of Yinyue manor is very friendly to everyone and has no consciousness of fierce fighting dogs. If other bears and dogs are not afraid of it, no one will believe that "white bread" is a powerful fierce beast.
"White bread" is bertina''s follower. It''s where bell is.
Two young knights had seen bertina hiding behind white bread. She grabbed the tail of the ferocious fighting dog, put on skates, let the big dog slide on the ice, and slipped to the ice hole in the blink of an eye.
Brandon was quick eyed and quick handed. He grabbed the yelling fat girl and gracefully turned around in place. He dissolved the strong inertia of bertina''s sprint, put her on the ice and asked with a smile: "how can our ''little queen'' leave her guard and sneak away?"
Bell''s nickname in silver moon manor is "little queen". She rules all kitchens, restaurants, food storage rooms, orchards and other places where food can be found. "White bread" is her running dog, aka is her palace minister, and those minor attendants are her most loyal supporters, including, of course, the children outside the manor.
Brandon and Klaus, without exception, were loyal to the "little queen" bertina and received many additional snack rewards from her.
After the witch identity of hunt manager imosen was exposed, Brandon and Klaus have rejected him until now, but they can''t hate little wizard bertina. If there is anything that can relieve their stress during the journey, it is playing with bell.
Bell wore skate shoes and was much taller out of thin air. She raised her hand and compared her two former playmates. She quickly carried her little hands behind her, slipped around them as if nothing had happened, looked back at the back, and said proudly, "the guards given to bell by the master are fools. How can you win me in skating with me?"
Several soul soldiers were running at full speed. Klaus looked at the "white bread" sniffing everywhere and thought: they can''t run away, but the fierce fighting dogs are real.
"Why are they all red catfish? Are there any delicious white belly fin fish?" Bell looked into the ice hole and said dejectedly.
"There are a few... Er, not now."
Hearing the sound, bell looked back and saw his big dog pick out a fat white belly fin fish from the trawl. He immediately shouted, "white bread! You greedy ghost, that''s my fish... Oh, forget it, it''s all your saliva. You''re disgusting."
"White bread" wagged his tail at Bell and swallowed the whole fish as soon as he bowed his head.
Klaus said, "there are not many fish left in this ice hole. We are going to drag these fish back first, and then go to another ice hole opened by aka."
After repeated fishing by light guards, the number of red catfish in the ice well became sparse. You can see the dark lake water. Bell knelt down and said in a nostalgic tone: "the big fish with long teeth that I like to eat best... Its eggs are as big as lizard eggs, which is especially beautiful."
"Big toothed fish? You mean sharp toothed tiger fish... That''s the top food." Brandon smiled.
"... or a top predator." Klaus said angrily while finishing the trawl: "come and give me a hand. It''s not a knight''s virtue to stand there and be lazy."
Brandon shook his head and ran to collect the fish. White bread also helped them take the fish scattered on the ice into the trawl. Bertina was short and weak. She moved two live fish and fell three somersaults. She simply slipped up the ice around the ice hole and shouted, "the red catfish is not delicious. Bell wants a big fish with teeth."
Suddenly, "white bread" dropped a lively red catfish, his drooping ears stood up, jumped over at once, grabbed bertina''s fur coat and jumped more than ten meters above the ice hole.
Brandon felt the ice shaking slightly and shouted, "bell, be careful!"
With a "boom", the huge dark shadow broke away from the ice hole, and the half meter thick ice layer collapsed. Across the water spray, Brandon saw a sharp toothed tiger fish full 5 meters long jump out of the lake, with razor sharp teeth shining, and fall towards "white bread" and bertina.
Brandon roared, and the sharp long sword made of refined gold and silver came out of its sheath, pulled out a sharp silver gray arc and slashed the sharp toothed tiger fish in the air.
Someone is faster than him.
The streamer of indigo flashed past Brandon, walked straight for more than ten meters, and punctured the eyes of the toothed tiger fish accurately.
It was Klaus who stabbed with a spear. The most common and simple stabbing skill was powerful in his hand. It was like a thunderbolt flying unstoppable. The fine iron spear vibrated and hummed, making a beeping sound, smashing the brains of the sharp toothed tiger fish and nailing it to the ice.
Brandon returned his sword to the scabbard, gave a thumbs up to Klaus standing on the fish, and exclaimed, "the senior knight is really different. I must praise your blow... It''s very beautiful."
Klaus looked at bertina, who was running back on the dog''s back, and said with a reserved smile: "the sharp toothed tiger fish is known as the overlord of the deep-water lake. When it landed, it is only high-grade ingredients... It can''t hurt bell and ''white bread''. I''m afraid you''ll cut its stomach and let the fish eggs flow out."
Brandon smacked his mouth and muttered in a very low voice: "I want to take the golden potion, resonate with 24 elements and be promoted to a senior knight."
**********************
The news that Klaus and Brandon captured a sharp toothed tiger fish caused a great sensation in the camp. It can be said that everyone knows and expects it. After all, there are only a few real humans in the team.
In fact, we didn''t eat much red catfish, but we caught too much. We put them on the ice in piles. The alchemical dragon lizard, war mastiff, bear dog, and imosen''s alienated mouse and alienated ape devoured them and lost their appetite.
The alchemist didn''t pay much attention. He washed the red catfish and cooked it. Other people can talk about dignity even if they don''t have aristocracy. Since the expeditionary forces carried sufficient supplies, they would not rob the same kind of food with the war animals.
The sharp toothed tiger fish has rough meat and strong fishy smell. In terms of taste, it is not as good as red catfish. However, the sharp toothed tiger fish is one of the few ferocious animals that even ordinary people can bite. Not only are the fish meat nutritious, but the fish eggs are also extraordinary ingredients compatible with water elements.
Cooking sharp toothed goby fish is a great test of the chef''s level. Caligula''s cooking is unparalleled in the world. There are few strong people who master the touch of the heart. He is the only one who focuses on cooking food with the touch of the heart.
It''s a pleasure to enjoy the culinary performance of kaligura. There are top ingredients and top culinary experts here. Of course, you can''t miss a big meal of sharp toothed tiger fish.
Aka is also the first time to cook sharp toothed tiger fish. He took this cooking as a test of his cooking skills and showed 12 points of ability.
The solemn appearance of Caligula aroused Victor''s interest. He was the founder of new food and the founder of chef profession. Even Caligula''s cooking was taught by him.
The news that his highness Randall was going to compete with Caligula for cooking pushed the atmosphere of the camp to a climax. Everyone, including the Dragon maid and the sword maid, moved folding chairs and ran to be the judge.
The result of the competition is self-evident. Victor won by a big score. Except for aka and bertina, the judges unanimously voted for him. However, when Victor personally tasted akar''s works, he was speechless for a long time and knew that his cooking was lost to a fool.
Victor''s food is exquisite and delicious, but it has less charm than a pot of fish skin and bone soup cooked by aka. Victor''s fish feast has only one extreme taste, which is very impressive, but aka''s fish soup seems to have little taste, but it is suitable for everyone''s taste.
Of course, the judges are partial to the Earl of golden eyes, but the most fundamental reason is that they are a group of "free food" completely, not a real food expert, and they can''t tell the quality of cooking.
Victor publicly announced that Caligula was the winner and asked everyone to stand up and applaud him. Squatting on the ground, akarton, who was already crying with tears, laughed happily, hugged bertina and turned several somersaults.
He could jump five or six meters high in one jump. Imosen was frightened when he saw it. Dane took the opportunity to say something comforting. The big wizards and high-ranking priests in the team finally broke the psychological barrier and began to chat.
The Dragon maid was certainly unconvinced by the fact that aka won. They could feel the master''s heart, but wanted to show aka a little strength.
Victor broke up the Dragon maid''s malice in time and drove them to the periphery of the camp to patrol and watch the night.
Without four powerful guys in the camp, the atmosphere of the dinner party became more harmonious. Fierce soldiers, knights, priests, wizards, sword maids and a few experienced elite guards could break the barriers of class cognition, communicate freely and really understand each other.
Towards the end of the dinner, Victor asked Brandon and Klaus, "bertina said she wanted to eat the toothed tiger fish, and then the toothed tiger fish broke through the ice and jumped up. Is that right?"
Brandon nodded and replied, "yes, sir."
"I feel something moving underwater. That''s what happened after bell spoke. I''m not sure if there''s a special connection." Klaus then explained.
Victor turned his head to imosen, and the other party quickly got up and said: "My Lord, the bait I prepared can attract many kinds of fish, including red catfish and toothed tiger fish, because the number of red catfish is the largest and they move in groups. They can squeeze other fish away from the ice hole... Dense catfish groups may attract toothed tiger fish. I think it should be a coincidence?"
Coincidence? White bread is also a coincidence? Bell''s ability has the law of fate and can be used... Victor thought to himself. He glanced at the priest Dane who was in a daze, changed the topic and said, "I''m going to set up defense here and fight with the nearby half dragon tribe."
Yimosen wizard stared in surprise and hesitated and said, "Sir, I have settled with the half dragon tribe envoys. They allow us to transit and will never harass us."
"I know."
Victor smiled and nodded, his eyes were deep and firm, and his tone was flat. "They agree or disagree. I''ll fight them."
