Elf Farmer

Sitting in the backyard of the town hall, Liat stared blankly at the firewood pile in front of her - didn't she come here to talk to the mayor about something?Why did you start preparing grilled fish?

After the old mayor returned to the town hall, he changed back into his beastman form and put on his clothes. In his beastly form, he obviously had shiny black fur, but after he transformed into his human form, his beard and hair were all white.

This little old man with a white beard, who was wearing a straight consul's uniform, now rolled up his sleeves and tied up his trousers, and took off his boots and threw them aside. He was squatting by the river, shaving. Fish scale——

Across the river is the back entrance of the town hall. The giant bass that the old mayor held down by the river to scrape its scales is now with its head soaked in the river water and its tail hanging at the door.

Little Ella is happily moving large and small spice jars here, and Liat is assigned the task of lighting a fire and watching the fire - but why is there firewood and spices in the town hall? !

While Liat was making a fire and doubting his life, the old mayor had already finished handling the fresh giant seabass neatly. He scraped off all the scales and took out all the internal organs.

When little Ella saw her grandfather standing up from the river, she turned around and ran into the house. Soon she ran back with a large roll of leaves.After handing the large roll of dark green leaves to Grandpa, little Ella happily moved a large barbecue grill out of the house.

Liat was shocked again by Little Ella's huge strength, but she still silently took the hand and put the barbecue grill firmly on the fire - she was not very familiar with the fire starter given by Little Ella. Knowing how to use it, I had to secretly sprinkle some magic powder and use the fireball technique to light a fire.

The old mayor took the large roll of green leaves from little Ella, and quickly unfolded the roll of leaves and spread it on the barbecue grill. Although he could see that the leaves were quite big, Liat thought that little Ella was holding them. A bunch of leaves came, so she thought it was okay, but she didn't expect that it was just a leaf!

Dark green leaves were spread on the barbecue grill, hanging down very long on all sides. Not only did it completely cover the entire barbecue grill, but also the fire under the barbecue grill was covered.

Little Ella lifted up the hanging leaves and threw a red stone into the pile of firewood. Liat saw that the flames that had been jumping and moving suddenly began to burn steadily.

Little Ella quickly dragged a big basket over. She took out the red stones one by one from the basket, and threw them into the fire one after another.After throwing about a dozen red stones, the little girl took out a magic gemstone from her arms and threw it in.

"What are you doing?" Liat couldn't help but asked.

Little Ella was putting down the leaves she had lifted up. She was a little puzzled when she heard Liat's question: "Are you making a fire, sister?"

"That's a flint stone. We only have it here. Putting a magic gem on it can make the fire burn for a long time." The old mayor came over with a giant seabass with a smile. While explaining to Liat, he put the fish Put it on the grill with a thud.

Liat: ...This grill is really strong.

The old mayor took the knife handed over by little Ella. Under the sunlight, the knife flickered, he raised the knife and dropped it, swish, swish, almost in the blink of an eye, a whole big fish was cut into countless pieces. Small paragraph.

The old mayor swung his sword so fast that an afterimage appeared!

This giant sea bass was so big that the fish pieces were piled up into a hill. However, the clever little Ella had already brought a big plate over. She picked up most of the fish pieces with her gloves on, and then put it on the grill. There is an open space.

The old mayor spread the remaining fish meat segments evenly on the leaves, then bent down to rummage in the big basket for a moment, and took out a fruit as big as a basketball.

The fruit is round and the color is extremely bright yellow. The old mayor used a knife to cut a small opening in the peel, and from this small opening poured juice that was so abundant that it could flow down onto the fish.

Smelling the unique sweet and sour smell of lemons in the air, Liat couldn't help but take a second look at the big fruit in the old mayor's hand - could this be a lemon from another world?

After pouring on the juice that seemed to be lemon, the old mayor took out a large number of sharpened wooden skewers from the big basket and used the wooden skewers to skewer the fish segments one by one.

At this moment, the dark green leaves spread on the barbecue grill have been roasted into deep red by the fire. Liat, who is sitting next to him, can already feel the heat coming towards his face. It is probably because of the existence of this leaf and this heat. The heat does not make people feel scorching, but feels warm and moist. Liat can even smell a fresh scent unique to vegetation.

Little Ella was also skewering fish, and Liat stood up and joined in.

While skewering the fish, Liat took a few glances at the large basket placed on the ground. The basket was quite deep and filled with many things, but because it was arranged quite neatly, it was hard to see. It didn't look messy at all, even though most of the things inside were unrecognizable.

After all the fish segments are skewered, they need to be spread out neatly on the grill.Seeing little Ella and Liat arranging the fish pieces, the old mayor bent down to rummage in the big basket. As he rummaged, he said: "When making coarse salt grilled fish, you must use our special sea salt." It’s delicious, and no other salt flavor is enough.”

Liat saw that he took out a large jar from the basket. The jar should be filled with the sea salt that the old mayor mentioned - this sea salt was not the snow-white that Liat had imagined, but presented a clean and pure light color. Blue in color, it looks like a pool of extremely pure sea water in a transparent glass jar.

Then the old mayor unscrewed the lid and began to pour salt on the fish pieces until all the fish pieces were covered with sea salt. He called to little Ella and Liat to turn the fish pieces over. After that, the old mayor continued to pour salt. In the end, most of the sea salt in the jar was empty, and the fish meat on the grill was completely covered with sea salt.

Next, the old mayor picked up the leaves hanging from the sides of the barbecue grill and covered them layer by layer on the fish meat buried in the sea salt. He also took several red fruits from the big basket and pressed them on the leaves. superior.

It seemed that everything was ready. The old mayor finally threw a magic element gem into the pile of flints under the barbecue grill, and then started to greet little Ella and Liat with great interest: "Come on, come on, we'll wait. You can fish while grilling fish! The new bait I bought recently is good, and I can even catch giant bass. Hey, hey, baby, come here, this is the best location. Little Leah, you can come too, I will teach you how to fish! "

——It always seemed like the old mayor was very proud of his ability to catch a giant bass. He forgot who fell into the water and was almost dragged away by the fish?

Liat looked at the grilled fish tightly wrapped in big leaves on the barbecue grill, looked at little Ella who was already carrying a small mat and holding a small fishing rod and was sitting by the river in a decent manner, and then looked at the river water. The fish swimming back and forth in the middle of the river finally walked over.

After sitting down on the pony, the old mayor put a fishing rod in her hand. Liat felt very strange in her heart. She had never been involved in fishing in her previous life.

The old mayor also moved Mazar and sat down. As he threw out the fishhook, he talked endlessly about fishing techniques to Liat.

Liat held the fishing rod and listened carefully, feeling that the key was to seize the opportunity——

Be sure to press the magic element gem button on the fishing rod at the correct time, because it takes a while for the magic pattern on the fishing rod to activate, so the most important thing is to grasp this time. If you press it too early, the sudden fluctuation of magic element will cause the fish to explode. The fish will be scared away. If you press it too late, you will not be able to fix the fish that bites the hook, so it is easy for the fish to run away.

This is not a problem at all for a battle mage who needs to seize the opportunity to release various magics all year round, not to mention that Liat is also a water mage with a full water magic affinity value. She threw the stalk into the water, ready to try it. Give it a try.

Soon a fish bit the hook. Liat concentrated on feeling the slight vibration transmitted from the fishing rod. She noticed that the water magic element fluctuation in the air had changed. She heard a click and pressed the magic element gem button. , when the magic pattern was fully activated, she raised her hand and caught a plump fish.

Liat was very happy to win the first battle. She was very interested in the old mayor's praise, so she continued fishing. The rest went smoothly. Liat could catch a fish almost every time, although there were many fish. It's a small one, but it's almost impossible to miss. Liat even caught a blue carp.

When he saw the blue carp, the old mayor exclaimed. He told Liat that this kind of blue carp, whose body seemed to be exuding sparkling waves, was very popular in the city because it was extremely rare and the color was very bright. It is so beautiful that many people in the city are happy to buy it and take it home as a symbol of luck.

The old mayor suggested that Liat be sold to the alchemy workshop. The taste of this fish is not good. Even if it is a symbol of luck, it can only be sold for a few dozen copper coins at most as an ingredient. Although I don’t know why, if it is sold to the alchemy workshop, At least one hundred copper coins can be obtained.

Liat does know why. The scales of this blue carp emit weak water magic fluctuations. Strictly speaking, it should be classified as a Warcraft. Its scales are considered a relatively rare alchemy material. The alchemy workshop naturally I am willing to buy it at a high price - although this "high price" is not that high...

The old mayor mentioned the alchemy workshop, and Liat also mentioned the mithril mine. The little old man smiled and told Liat not to worry. He said that as long as Liat was still in the town, they Nothing will happen to the town——

"Don't worry, little Leah, your grandma must be ready. Look at how strong the magic barrier in our town is now. Your grandma is a great magician at the level of forbidden spells." The old mayor stared at the water while talking to Leah. Te complained:

"Actually, I always thought Margaret was joking. I believed her when she said she was a magician, but she was definitely lying when she said she was a forbidden magician. I didn't expect that she was telling the truth. ! I can’t figure out what the great magician of the human race is doing here with us orcs—hey, baby, there’s a fish biting your hook! Come on, come on! Press the button!”

Little Ella was startled by the yelling grandfather. Before she could press the button, the frightened fish under the water broke away from the hook and ran away.

Under the accusing eyes of little Ella, the old mayor smiled coquettishly: "Grandpa, isn't he too excited..."

After that, the old mayor tried his best to keep quiet. When the fish was grilled, the three of them caught a total of eleven fish. It can be said to be a bumper harvest. However, Liat caught seven of these eleven fish. Ella caught four fish, but the old mayor didn't catch any.

Liat: ...how did the old mayor catch that giant bass? !
