Arcane Lord

In fact, countries now have some dialogue mechanisms, but they are mostly limited to two countries, and some have been expanded to an entire alliance.

The current Northland Alliance is an alliance in name and a whole, but in fact it has not changed much compared to the past. Exchanges between countries still rely more on the alliance headquarters set up in Evereska, and Regular alliance meeting.

There is no fast communication channel established for emergency or important events, such as the current demon infiltration crisis. All countries have more or less mastered some demon intelligence, but basically no one has brought it to the Northland Alliance meeting to discuss, and everyone has their own information. Covered.

To some extent, it also exacerbates the distrust within the alliance, which is not a good thing in the long run.

After Shado reminded him, Badigal quickly realized that the Northland Alliance really needed such a new dialogue mechanism. The reason was to expand consensus and strengthen cooperation.

On the other hand, it is actually to increase mutual trust and reduce misjudgments.

Like now, countries are targeting Ye Erlan not just because it actively triggers war or because the devil itself appears in the country, but because of the panic over Ye Erlan's lack of domestic information.

Coupled with a little profit drive, it has led to the current situation.

If all parties could fully understand and trust each other, many things would not happen. Although competition among countries is normal, if the benefits of cooperation are clearly better than isolation, then it is not unthinkable to maintain cooperation despite competition.

"Lord Chateau, your proposal is very good. I will mention it to the representatives of various countries when the talks continue tomorrow."

"Well, I hope these complicated things in the North can calm down as soon as possible."

…

As night falls, the evening nights with the characteristics of Daxia also begin.

Xia Duo raised the floating city high into the sky, and the space transformation made Hengchun Square face upward. It was already the last day of the Falling Leaves Moon, and the moonlight in late autumn was the brightest.

Yuandudu is like a beacon hanging high in the sky. Even though the floating city is far away from the ground, the moon above is still so far away.

At the dinner, Chateau asked Cook's apprentice Lai Li to introduce tonight's menu to the guests. The staple food was white flour steamed buns that were almost popular in the territory. Compared with the traditional bread and pancakes of Netheril, it lacked a bit of fire and taste. More gentle.

For elves, such staple food is very close to what they usually eat.

Of course, during the introduction, according to Xia Duo's instructions, Laili specifically mentioned that steaming is more fuel-efficient than baking, and this inevitably touched the sensitive hearts of these high-ranking elves.

Elves are not an uncivilized race and do not take pride in eating raw food. On the contrary, they are more substantial and refined. Not only are the ingredients used exquisitely, but the cooking techniques are also exquisite.

But not all elves have the conditions to use magic kitchen utensils, and fuel consumption has become inevitable. Generally speaking, elves will cultivate some fast-growing forests near settlements specifically for fuel consumption.

However, the elven tradition also has the concept of companionship with nature and the concept of protecting nature, which becomes a contradiction. Therefore, the work of promoting and cutting down fast-growing forests often falls to Dru Yin.

The reason why Dru Yin does not have a high status in elf society can be said to be largely related to this.

If there is a fuel-saving lifestyle, most elves will not reject it. At the dinner, real elven superiors such as Suveris and Adariel showed interest in the cooking methods of Daxia.

Of course, not only the staple food, but also a variety of new dishes started by Chateau and fully developed by Cook also left a deep impression on the representatives.

There are Orientals in the Main Plane, so there is naturally so-called "Oriental cuisine". However, because many Orientals were very young when they traveled here, or were born as commoners, it is difficult for them to master such superb cooking skills.

Therefore, the so-called "oriental food" in the main plane is actually elven food to a large extent, but it is made by oriental people and has some oriental characteristics.

Compared with Xia Duo, who came from the era of the explosion of knowledge and personally guided the chef to complete the Daxia cuisine, the so-called oriental cuisine may only be based on the chef's personal experience.

Daxia cuisine is slightly better in terms of concept, technique, and principle.

…

"The last thing is this snowflake cake. I use the freshest inner ridges of warp beasts and cut them to the thickness of hair. For the time being, this step can only be done by my master. It is difficult for others to cut out the same finished product even if they use magic. .

"After that, you need to use magic to quickly freeze the meat slices, and then put them in the oil pan in the frozen state. The time is controlled to about half a second. If it is too early, the unique aroma of the warp beast meat will not be stimulated. If it is too late, it will be easy to burn. The heat is difficult to control. "

After Laili introduced it, he stepped aside and waited for the guests to taste it. Of course, the main thing was Xia Duo. He liked all the delicacies of warp beast meat, and so did Niya. Among them, the snowflake cake was their favorite.

It’s just that only Cook in the territory can present this delicacy well, and a spellcaster is required to help during the production process, so even Xia Duo doesn’t often eat it.

Nowadays, it is considered extremely polite to use it to entertain guests.

But as soon as the snowflake cake was taken into his mouth today, Xia Duo tasted a different feeling from before. It seemed to be a little numb, but the original fragrance was still retained. The slight numbness not only did not overwhelm the guest, but also complemented it. The original fresh aroma blends into one, making it stand out even more.

For a moment, Xia Duo thought of the slightly poisonous spice he brought back from the projection plane last time. It seemed to have the same taste, but it was a little different. I couldn't tell how different it was.

So, Xia Duo simply asked Laili directly: "Is the snowflake cake this time seasoned with sleepless grass?"

"Yes, I knew I couldn't hide it from the lord."

When Xia Duo asked about this, Laili seemed very excited, "This is a new flavor developed by the master and I. In fact, we did not use the Insomnia grass directly, but added a few Insomnia grass seeds in the oil pan.

"This small amount will not cause any adverse effects, but the unique slightly numbing taste can greatly harmonize the original flavor of the ingredients. After all, the snowflake cake does not have any other seasonings."

“Innovation is a good thing, but remember to ask relevant experts for advice when it comes to unknown ingredients and seasonings.”

"As for the dosage of sleepless grass, we asked the herbalist in the territory. Although the herbalist who was born in Langas had never seen this plant before, he knew some herbs with similar medicinal properties. After repeated experiments, we confirmed the dosage. We only use it if there are no adverse consequences.”

"My Healing Game"

After hearing this, Xia Duocai nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he didn't care whether it was poisonous or not. He was more worried that this would form a trend among the chefs in the territory to pursue the ultimate taste without scruples. This was not a good thing.
