A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

fragrant!

crisp!

Shadow Tail is a little sour.

But this acid just neutralizes the greasiness of the oil.

Leos was satisfied: "I never thought that you can eat fried food in an underground maze."

After a pause, he added: "I really want Faline to try it if I have the chance."

"Faline..." A trace of sadness flashed in Malusil's eyes, but she quickly regained her energy: "There will be a chance, there will definitely be a chance!"

"Haha, you're right!" Leos chuckled and continued to bite into the fried cakes made from man-eating plants and tree juice.

Chirchak also took a bite and couldn't help but nod: "It's delicious. So the oil in the trap is so delicious."

"This is the maze. It takes people's lives all the time, but gives everything equally and tolerantly." Sensi said, putting the second ingredient into the hot oil pan.

This time, he chose air-dried slime.

Needless to say, slime, the lowest level of monsters, is actually a versatile ingredient. You can soak it in a drink to add a special texture, or fry it in a frying pan until it becomes golden and crispy.

Click click click.

They ate so much that Leos and the others kept chewing.

"Next are these." As he said that, Senxi took out the big scorpion and mushroom monster from the bag.

There's not much to say about the mushroom monster, it tastes almost the same as a normal mushroom.

But the big scorpion...

Leos felt that this monster looked like a crab inexplicably when cooked.

After deep frying, even the shell will be crispy.

Put the shell and meat into your mouth, it has a unique flavor.

"tasty."

"It's so delicious."

"Monsters and stuff, they taste so good after being fried."

Praises aplenty.

Everyone was satisfied with this meal

——Including the difficult Maluciel.

After eating and drinking, the group continued to head underground.

Even if you take the shortcut, you still have to walk up a lot of steps.

Maluciel's physical strength is really a big problem. She leaned on her staff and couldn't help but ask Chilchak: "I said, are there no new roads around here? The kind that are easier to walk and less strenuous."

Kilchak shrugged.

Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was obvious: just go on honestly, there are no shortcuts.

At this time, Leos said helplessly: "Hold on, stairs are like this, they always make people feel twice as tired."

"That's true, but moderate fatigue can add deliciousness to the food." Sensi naturally added: "You will eat when you are hungry, and you will still be hungry after eating. This is the truth of life."

What the hell?

Such out-of-the-box thinking made it difficult for Malusil to keep up.

She sighed.

Look at the top of the head, and then look at the dark body.

It takes four or five hours to walk up the stairs in the tower.

When is the end?

"Come on, Maluciel, we'll have dinner when we get to the end, okay?" Seeing that Maluciel was not in a good mood, Laos said in a coaxing tone.

Maluciel:...

Even if you eat, you still have to eat monsters.

Alas~

Why on earth did she suffer this kind of crime?

Nothing said.

Let's go!

Maluciel's expression fell away little by little, and she almost turned into a slime.

Huangtian pays off his hard work.

Having almost finished using up the energy provided by the fried tempura, they finally reached the bottom of the tower.

Malusil leaned against the wall: "I'm exhausted. Let's take a rest."

"Then, Malusil, you rest here." Laos smiled brightly at her.

Then he turned around and said to Chilchak: "There is no way out."

"It's really impossible to get through..." Senxi stroked his beard and knocked his fist on the solid wall tiles in front of him: "The seal is very strong. It will take a lot of effort to break it open with brute force."

Laos's brain was running rapidly and he asked: "Chilchak, there should be some secret passage near here, right?"

Chilchak looked around, and as before, he borrowed a sword from Leos and knocked on the wall again and again with his long sword.

His ears twitched slightly, and he pointed to a certain place: "There is a hidden mechanism there."

"Oh! As expected of you, Chilchak!" Laos did not hesitate to exaggerate.

Saying that, he pressed the button as directed.

Wow——

The walls flipped.

What appeared in front of everyone was a spacious foyer.

There are carpets on the ground floor and some paintings around.

Further inside, there seems to be a wider space.

However, for the sake of caution, the group did not rush in rashly.

"Speaking of which, where are you?" After resting for a while, Malusiel finally had the strength to stand up. She glanced around, frowned and said, "We haven't been here before, have we?"

"Yes." Laos nodded: "I have indeed never been here...but I have some impressions about this place."

"Going through this foyer, you can go to the fourth floor faster. Doing the math, it really saves a lot of time." Chilchak said with great certainty, holding up a map and looking at it again and again.

Leos blinked.

Then, he discovered some clues and let out a loud cry: "Wait a minute! The decoration on my sword is missing."

decorate?

"Is it my fault?" Chilchak scratched his head: "I just lost it, right?"

Maluciel said reproachfully: "Your actions are too rough. Really, you should take good care of other people's weapons."

Chirchak: "I'm sorry, I'll buy you a new sword when I get back to the ground. Is that okay?"

"You are also for our team..." Leos shook his head, "And that thing could be taken down a long time ago, so I usually tie it up with rope or glue it with glue to barely extend it. life."

Maluciel:...

Chirchak:…

Don't be so fooled by your own weapons!

Chilchak pinched his eyebrows and said, "In other words, that decoration is useless at all?"

"It's not that it's useless at all. To me, that thing is quite commemorative." Leos said with a look of reminiscence: "If you think about it, that happened three years ago. At that time , Faline and I have just arrived on this island. We don’t know anything, and no one is willing to form a team with us, so we can only follow the gold stripping team to the underground level to practice. "

"Wait a minute." Malusil didn't know why: "What is the gold peeling group?"

"The Gold Stripping Group, the Gold Stripping Group is... a team that does not focus on fighting, but specializes in making money." Leos gestured repeatedly: "Compared to weapons, those people prefer to carry pickaxes and pliers with them."

Maluciel:? ? ?

Has such a strange team ever appeared in the underground maze?

Chilchak explained: "Marusil, you came to this island too late, so you may not know some things very clearly. In the past, the towers on the second underground floor were all wrapped in gold, so there was no need to It was very profitable to fight monsters and peel off gold. At that time, most people liked to participate in gold peeling activities, and those who focused on going deep underground to find clues about the crazy magician were the outliers. "

Leos nodded, and his thoughts couldn't help but go back to that time——

"The gold here has basically been stripped away. Let's go deeper underground and see what's there?" the leading dwarf suggested.

"OK!"

"Just go!"

"After doing manual labor for so long, I have long wanted to see what valuable treasures there are deeper underground."

The rest of the team had no objection at all.

Faline, on the other hand, said to Ryans worriedly: "Brother, with our abilities, isn't it a little dangerous to go underground now?"

Leos looked embarrassed: "Danger is danger, but the two of us talk so softly that we can't go back even if we want to."

Since I can't resist.

Then we can only follow the large troops...

The brother and sister stayed close to each other cautiously, always on guard against monsters that might appear in the underground maze.

But fate seems to be favoring this gold-stripping team.

Come down from the second floor.

Let alone a troublesome monster, I didn't even meet a living thing.

Crossing down the road, everyone came to a hall.

There are armors all over the hall, either holding swords or holding guns. Even though they have existed for hundreds of years, they are still shiny and show an extraordinary appearance.

The leading dwarf was delighted.

I originally thought of trying my luck, but I didn't expect that I would get an unexpected reward.

He stepped forward to take a look, touched his beard and praised: "This is really good equipment. I wonder how much it will be worth?"

The halfling companion tapped the armor a few times and made his own judgment: "It's so thin. It seems like it can't be worn on the body. It has no practical value. But I think this thing is similar to an ornament. If it is melted into materials and sold separately, …”

Just as he was talking, the motionless armor suddenly thrust out the sword in his hand!

In one fell swoop, the nearest dwarf leader was stabbed to death on the spot.

"careful!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Run!"

The sudden change threw the gold stripping team into chaos.

This group of people mostly held pickaxes and pliers in their hands. They didn't even have any decent weapons, and they had no power to resist at all.

At the end, Laos and Faline's faces turned pale with fright.

The two of them later realized that these armors were not dead objects, but living monsters!

Swish——

At this moment, a piece of movable armor cut out the sword in its hand.

The evil wind blew against his face, making Laos's hair stand on end.

Fortunately, he had a mental preset beforehand, and after a brief moment of confusion, he finally pulled out the iron sword at his waist that was on special sale.

"Faline, don't stay too far away from me." Laos shouted.

Then the battle with the movable armor began.

If combat power is visualized.

Then the level of the movable armor should be around level ten.

And Leos...

A novice adventurer, level one.

Ding-ding-ding-ding.

In just the blink of an eye, one person and one monster fought against each other.

The sword Leo bought at a special price was cut off by the sword of the movable armor.

At the critical moment, it was Faline who risked her life and threw him down, thus saving his life.

"Didn't I say it was dangerous and asked you to hide!"

"But brother...be careful!"

The movable armor did not give the brother and sister much time to communicate, and they seemed to be fighting to the death.

With his relatives behind him, Leos became furious.

With a sharp look in his eyes, he saw the opportunity to snatch away the sword of one of the movable armors, and slashed it with his backhand.

Behead the movable armor that has been fighting for a long time.

boom!

The helmet of the movable armor fell to the ground.

A look of surprise appeared on Laos's face: "It worked, I agreed!"

Hearing this, Faline seemed to want to remind her of something.

However, the next second, a sharp sword pierced Laos' heart.

Laos turned his head blankly, and happened to 'look' at the headless movable armor.

"Can you still move without a head?"

Thinking this in his mind, Leos's eyes darkened.

Falin's crying and shouting could only be heard in her ears.

Time returns to the present——

"Yes, something like this has happened before." Laos closed his eyes gently and said to Maluciel: "This sword was the trophy at that time... and also the exchange of my life. In the past few years , I always carry it with me to remind myself of the horror of monsters.”

"Terror?" Chilchak rolled his eyes: "Terror, you haven't eaten less."

Laos blushed, coughed slightly and said, "This is a last resort. I actually have no interest in eating monsters or anything like that."

This is a lie——

However, others are too lazy to expose it.

"So that's it." Malusiel nodded perfunctorily: "It was really hard for Falin to follow you in the past."

Leos:? ? ?

never mind.

There is nothing much to say about this kind of long ears who have never seen the horror of movable armor.

She doesn’t understand my heart~

Laos looked at the long sword without decoration and said with lingering fear: "I have died once, and just looking at the armor makes me feel horrible. Logically speaking, this should be considered to have produced some psychological shadow."

After a pause, he continued: "After that accidental death, I went back to investigate a lot about movable armors and read various documents. I found that all the books only recorded the habits of movable armors, but not their smell."

Wait a moment.

The memories were obviously full of sadness and tears before, but why did they suddenly turn to taste?

Your psychological shadow is too strange.

Laos completely ignored the looks of Chilchak and Malusiel and asked curiously: "By the way, what would Sensi do with those armors?"

Senxi was stunned for a moment and said matter-of-factly: "You can't eat armor, right? It's iron."

Leos:......

He thought that Sensi, who was experienced in cooking monsters, would give him a different answer.

Malusil interjected: "Sensi is right. It is written in the textbook of my magic academy that movable armor can move freely because it is controlled by magic. It is not a living thing, but a simple metal and magic creation. "

Laos refused to give up and continued: "But as for leather buttons..."

His expression was quite serious, and he gave a very unappetizing example: "I heard that leather shoes can be eaten after being conditioned. Look, isn't there some leather decoration on the movable armor? How about eating that?"

Sensi blinked: "Leather can be eaten, but the conditioning process is more difficult. Rather than slowly conditioning the leather, it would be easier for us to eat the reserved salt-baked meat or capture other monsters."

"Ah, that's right." Laos lowered his head listlessly, the word 'regret' almost overflowing from his body.

"About this..." Suddenly, Jon, who had been silent all this time, seemed to have thought of something: "By chance, I actually ate movable armor once."

"ah?"

For a moment, all eyes fell on Mr. Qiao. (End of chapter)
