A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

"What? Maruthil is cooking!"

"The sun is rising from the underground maze?"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it."

Laios, Chilchak and Sensi expressed their thoughts respectively.

It was Jon's turn.

In Maruthil's expectant eyes, he showed an innocent smile: "My mother gave birth to me."

Maruthil: ? ? ?

What's the connection?

Forget it.

It's not important.

The important thing is that I'm going to show off my cooking skills tonight.

The silly elf is full of confidence.

She can't cook monster dishes.

Normal vegetables, no problem!

I don't know why, seeing Maruthil's expression, Laios quietly hid a few cucumbers and eggplants in his arms, moved closer to Jon, and said in a low voice: "I'm a little worried. If there is any accident with Maruthil, it all depends on you, Qiao Qiao!"

Sometimes men's sixth sense is really accurate.

Jon nodded gently: "No problem."

"Hey! People over there, what are you two whispering about?" Malushiel put her hands on her hips: "Are you talking about me behind my back?"

"How could that be? Jon and I were talking about looking forward to Malushiel's dinner tonight. After all, you look very virtuous and good at cooking." Sometimes Laos is really not stupid. On the contrary, his brilliance makes Jon look at him with new eyes.

A simple straight ball made Malushiel blush.

However, tsundere is the basic attribute of elves, but Malushiel shook her head in a standard way: "Who needs your compliments? I won't be happy at all if you say that."

Jon blinked and spread his hands to Laos: "My mother gave birth to me."

Laos: ? ? ?

...

...

A simple meal.

It's not simple at all to make it delicious.

Back to the camp, Malushiel started cooking.

Laos, Chilchak and Sensi helped her.

Peeling and cutting, busy and happy.

Jon, who was responsible for the bottom line, asked for a pot and some seasonings, and quietly walked away.

Maruxiel actually saw it, but she didn't say anything, but held her breath in her heart.

Cooking duel?

Just what I want!

'Talented woman' Maruxiel VS 'Super chef' Qiao Maoxing.

An invisible war has begun.

In Laos's opinion, the harvested vegetables are so fresh that even if you don't know how to cook, it won't be too bad.

Then, Maruxiel told him with practical actions: young man, you are too naive!

"Stir fry three times and sprinkle salt. Mom said appropriate amount. Appropriate amount? Three spoons should be enough."

"For soy sauce, half a bottle is enough."

"This tomato looks so strange. Should it be cut horizontally or vertically?"

One famous line after another came out of Maruxiel's mouth, which made Laos and others very uneasy.

There are a lot of dishes.

It can't stand such a waste.

In the end, Senxi's face turned red.

Fortunately, Maruxi's cooking was also completed

- Elf-style fresh vegetable stir-fry (with rice)

"Is this really edible?" Chilchak looked at the black mass in front of him and asked a soul-searching question.

Maruxi was a little embarrassed, "I obviously followed the method my mother taught me... Is there a possibility that these dishes look bad, but they are actually delicious."

Laos and Chilchak looked at each other and said nothing.

Senxi sighed, "Since you helped a lot today, I won't say harsh words."

Maruxi: "Oh! Just try it."

Laos's eyes gradually became firm: "Okay, I'll try Maruxi's cooking skills now!"

Chilchak: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Do you want to make it, Leos?

Hey, knock, knock!

Laos tried his best to keep a smile on his face, picked up a piece of vegetable with a fork, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it.

"Sai Gao!" he praised.

Chilchak: "Really... is it true?"

As he spoke, he also tasted Malushiel's stir-fry.

"Well, you don't say, you really don't say, it's not as bad as you imagined."

Malushiel rubbed his nose proudly: "I told you a long time ago that the method my mother taught me is not wrong. Although there are some mistakes in the proportion of seasonings, the flaws do not outweigh the merits."

"Let me try it." Senxi also ate some with round eyes, nodded slightly and said: "The taste of soy sauce and salt is heavy. But considering that we have been rushing on the road these days, light taste may not be the best choice."

"Is it right? I took this into consideration, so I added more salt." Malushiel said very reluctantly.

At this time, Jon came back.

Seeing the group of people eating happily, he walked closer and took a look: "Not bad, idiot, it's much better than I thought."

"How bad am I in your heart?" Maruxiel said unhappily.

"It's just so-so." Jon skipped the topic, picked up the plate naturally, and joined the dining team.

Never mind whether it was false or righteous.

Anyway, all the food made by Maruxiel was eaten.

However.

Maruxiel not only didn't understand the ratio of the seasoning, but also misjudged the amount of food

--too little.

"You're not full yet? Wait." Jon put down the tableware and walked out slowly.

After a while he came back, carrying several plates of food.

"This is it?" Sensi asked curiously.

Those dishes have a unique style. Not belonging to any race, but vaguely forming its own system.

"This plate is made of three delicacies. Eggplant, potatoes and green peppers are cooked in oil and then put into a pot and stir-fried."

"This plate is twice-cooked pork. I used salt-baked pork and chili."

"This plate is a cold dish made of slime and cucumber."

The four of them blinked.

It looks really good.

At least it looks better than Malusil's elf-flavored stir-fries.

"Then let's... continue eating?" Laos asked.

"Eat, eat. If you're not full, why don't you hurry." Chirchak was the most positive and extended his 'devil's claws' to the twice-cooked pork.

Eat it without making a sound.

No compliments.

Just keep your head down and show off.

Leoski was surprised and also tasted a dish called "Di San Xian".

Then he stopped talking.

Hyun, I am crazy to dazzle!

"How did you two react?" Malusiel felt a little strange and also tasted the three delicacies.

Take one bite.

She fell silent.

Then came the second bite, the third bite...

Jon thoughtfully added a bowl of rice for Maluciel.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Malusiel muttered incoherently, not knowing who she was angry with.

Sensi looked at Qiao Qiao with eyes full of like-minded trust: "To be able to cook such a dish, Qiao Qiao, you are also a person who loves life."

"What you love is your life." Jon showed the same smile as his uncle: "Mother gave birth~"

Sensi: "Yes, we are all born from our mother!"

It must be that only the love for mother can make such delicious food.

I learned, I learned~

Incidentally.

After dinner, while everyone is resting.

Senxi went to the Colossus again carrying farmyard manure alone.

Not only did they fertilize the soil and re-sow the seeds, they also buried the magical core of the colossus again.

Wait for the seeds to take root and sprout, and the Colossus will become mobile again.

The cycle starts over and over again, and the cycle is endless.

…

…

Although Malusiel's cooking skills were recognized, she said she would never cook again.

Chilchak was completely indifferent to this.

On the other hand, Laos felt a little regretful and said almost unconsciously, "What a pity. Marusil, your cooking is actually quite delicious. It doesn't matter if I eat it every day."

Straight ball.

See the straight ball again.

Naturally overcome arrogance.

I can’t deceive the ancients!

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?" Malusiel blushed and kept hitting Remus on the head with her staff: "Speaking has to go through the brain, you idiot!"

"It hurts." Laos was completely unprepared and almost got hit all over his head.

He didn't understand why he was beaten.

But seeing how happy Maluciel looked, he felt that even if he got beaten a few times, it wouldn't matter.

The adventure continues——

Because too many vegetables were harvested and could not be eaten, Sensi proposed to move these vegetables to a nearby tavern in exchange for other supplies.

Although it is rare, there is a gathering place for adventurers on the three underground floors.

It's just that they are all in the nooks and crannies, and you need to search carefully to find them.

Laos and others naturally had no objection.

The third underground level is different from the first underground level because it is further away from the surface. There is almost no fairness here. It all depends on strength.

Fortunately, everyone in this group is elite.

After getting rid of a few gangsters who came to pick a fight, others didn't dare to do anything.

Enter the tavern.

Explain your intention to the tavern owner.

The other party showed an expression of disgust.

"Vegetables? Are you mistaken? This is a serious trading place, not a restaurant." He deliberately emphasized the word 'serious'.

Leos glanced around.

A hint of enlightenment came to my mind.

The so-called transaction should refer to the sale of stolen goods...

Sensi tried to negotiate and asked the tavern owner to accept the extra vegetables.

However, vegetables and other crops are not in short supply here, so the tavern owner looked disgusted and offered extremely low prices.

It was so low that Malusil, who was working hard to pick vegetables, was a little angry.

"Did you make a mistake? You can't even buy a loaf of bread with that little money, but you have to buy us 10 kohlrabi!"

The tavern owner looked at Malusil with hungry eyes: "Instead of vegetables, this elf lady, if you are really short of money, would you like to make some extra money with me?"

Malusil let out a 'huh' sound and didn't react for a moment.

Laos stepped forward seriously, "Please don't harass my companions."

"You're angry, you're angry, it's really scary~" the tavern owner chuckled.

Laos ignored him and turned around and said: "Forget it, Malusil, if the vegetables can't be sold, then we can't sell them. Let's get out of here."

Where there is light, there must be darkness. A maze is not a paradise, but a place that best reflects the reality of the world.

They want to leave.

But couldn't leave.

At some point, there were three circles of people inside and outside.

Just like those killing Matt villains in Fist of the North Star, they either laugh weirdly or lick their weapons with their tongues.

"Hey, hey, is something wrong?"

Chilchak, who had almost no fighting ability, hid behind Senxi, with a panicked look on his face.

If a fight really breaks out, he can't help at all.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Sensi clenched the axe, his expression didn't change at all.

Laos drew his sword.

Maluciel clenched his staff.

Only Jon yawned, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out.

At this moment, a group of burly greenskins broke in from the door.

After entering the door.

This group of greenskins didn't waste words and chopped anyone they saw.

"Orcs? Why do you appear in such a place!" Chirchak looked horrified.

Sensi blinked: "It's them..."

Because the space was too narrow, Laos could only protect Maluciel first.

People and horses were thrown to the ground in the tavern.

Even the boss who had spoken rudely before was chopped.

This is the underground maze.

An independent world where the strong prey on the weak (in all senses)!

"It seems that there is only a fight." Laos clenched the hilt of the sword.

However, before he could make a move, Jon shook his head at him: "Don't rush yet."

Laos: ? ? ?

Just then, an orc rushed over.

Leos suddenly became a little nervous.

However, after the orc saw someone's appearance clearly, his movements suddenly stopped: "Lord Jon!"

"Lord Jon?"

"Lord Jon?"

Laos and Maruxier said in unison.

Sensi and Chilchak also turned their heads with doubts.

Jon calmly pressed his hands: "Well, we are all family, don't hurt the harmony."

Maruxier: ...

Can you explain why you are so familiar with the orcs!

Sensi was even more moved and nodded to Jon: "I didn't expect that Qiao Qiao and you also have a relationship with them."

This "also" is quite subtle.

Chilchak helplessly held his forehead: "Sensi, could it be you!"

"Long time no see, Sensi." Suddenly, a voice sounded behind the orc team.

The orcs spontaneously retreated to both sides.

But a burly orc with an iron rod in his hand came over.

He nodded to Sensi first, then bowed to Jon with a respectful expression and said: "I didn't expect to meet you here, Lord Jon."

Laos:...

Malushel:...

Chirchak:...

Sensi:!!!

So, what's the situation?

Jon scratched his eyebrows and explained simply: "When I was adventuring in the underground maze alone, I helped these orcs a little bit."

"Why is it a little help? Lord Jon, you are the hero who rescued us from the nine-headed water snake." The orc leader was quite emotional: "If it weren't for you, our tribe would have been reduced by at least half."

Jon waved his hand: "Just go with the flow."

As he said, he turned his head: "As you can see, the situation is like this-"

"You are really amazing." Malushel said from the bottom of his heart.

Sometimes, because of some rumors, she would always subconsciously ignore Jon's unfathomable strength.

Speaking of the nine-headed water snake, it is a monster that is not weaker than the red dragon.

When she thought of this, Maluciel became more confident.

At least, with their current team configuration, they don't have to be afraid of the red dragon.

The boss and I scored 81 points together.

Jon and I defeated the red dragon together.

How perfect~ (End of this chapter)
