My Magic Age

When the young nobles on the north bank gathered together to eat cold wheat cakes, they didn't even light a bonfire. It was hard to find even some low bushes on the wasteland near the north bank. It was impossible to maintain a bonfire with dry alfalfa leaves. However, it seemed that some people couldn't stand the dry bread and walked into the grass to pick up dry grass stalks. They should be preparing for dinner. After all, they had to have at least a hot meal before nightfall. The nights in the early spring in the wasteland were still very cold.

Kuz really had a way to get the oil. For this, he hunted an adult boar weighing more than 300 kilograms and tied it to its legs with a hemp rope and sent it back to the camp. I found that there were only two arrow wounds on the boar. One arrow hit the right eye socket, causing the boar to lose its right vision. The second arrow went directly into the heart from the lower part of the neck between the two front legs.

We set up a big pot on the river bank, put the magic scroll of Fire Gathering underneath and boiled the water in the pot. I reluctantly shaved off the thick fat under the skin of the wild boar, and threw the two strands of fat in the abdominal cavity into the pot. After the hot water was boiled dry, the grease in the fat would slowly be drained out. This is what Kuz thought of for me. In order to eat fried rabbit legs, he would rather walk five or six kilometers to hunt a wild boar and bring it back, and his purpose was just to drain the fat from it.

Qi Ge ran back from the meadow happily and told me that there were countless hemostatic herbs in the meadow, and even some kudzu root and tranquilizing grass. She held a kudzu root that she had just dug out of the soil in her hand, shaking it in front of me, and said to me proudly: "Look! Jia, this is the first time I have dug out such a big kudzu root. The ones planted in our college's medicine garden are not even as thick as a finger. When I first saw this kudzu root, I thought it was very inconspicuous and dry. I didn't expect it! It turned out to be so big. Maybe I can use it to prepare a bottle of primary strength potion when I take the magic potion master graduation exam."

Kudzu root, a primary magic herb with earth attribute, can be mixed into potions to make magic potions with earth attribute. The orc herbal sheepskin scroll that Old Kuru showed me clearly recorded the functions of Pueraria root. The scroll even introduced that Pueraria root with a growth period of more than 100 years can be processed and refined into a strength magic potion to permanently increase the strength attribute. The primary strength potion that Qi Ge mentioned is not an eternal strength magic potion, but a potion that temporarily increases strength. However, even so, the primary attribute potion is very expensive in the market and is very popular among warriors. It is usually used in life-saving situations or important tasks or duels. It is very precious.

I marinated the whole steak with salt and pepper powder and placed it on the clean flat pebbles beside. The blood slowly flowed into the river along the pebbles. Kuz threw the wild boar's internal organs, bloody fur, and hairy and hideous pig head into the river with great regret. These things are very troublesome to deal with, and the four of us can't finish them at all. There is no point in keeping them. The strong smell of blood may attract hyenas or wolves. It is better to throw them away directly. If there is no river here, Kuz will even dig a pit and bury them. These wastes thrown into the river attract a group of silver-white chopstick-length fish to gather by the river. At this time, I realized that there are fish in this glacier, but the river is very deep. These fish living in the glacier usually live in deep water. It's just that the fish here don't have any sense of danger. They actually gnaw on the internal organs of animals thrown into the river under our noses. If we didn't have too much food, I would have caught two and made grilled fish for a change.

"This is the paradise of primary herbs. You can even find intermediate herbs if you go further in. Most hunters who have the means to cross the river look down on the primary herbs here. They will go deep into the wilderness to find those intermediate herbs." Kuz squatted on the ground and was desperately fanning a pile of charcoal with a pot cover. In order to get these charcoals, the prodigal Kuz burned a piece of wood used for tents directly and threw it into the water to turn it into a pile of black charcoal. This guy really didn't care about anything in order to have a good bite of food. He claimed that as long as he had something to eat, he would be willing to sleep on the grass in a fur coat.

Qi Ge was very moved by this, although she didn't have a good impression of Kuz. Maybe it was because she was born with a little hostility towards orcs. This was a common problem among the Green Empire people. They thought that orcs were country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Another reason is that Qige has a blood talent that makes the orcs excited. In the orc world, if they can marry a girl from the Sky Fox tribe, it means that their future children will have the opportunity to learn magic and become the most respected shaman priests in the orc tribe. This also directly led to the gradual disappearance of the Sky Fox tribe of the orc tribe, which was once prosperous.

Another reason is because of old Kuru. Qige has always been hostile to Kuz because of his vigilance. It was not until we formed a team together that Qige's view of Kuz gradually changed. At this time, when he heard Kuz say that he could find intermediate magic herbs that are rare in the Green Empire, he couldn't help asking: "Where can I find heather, flame flowers and ice grass?"

"Heather grows in the stone forest near the mountains, not here. I have never seen fire flowers, but I heard that there is an entrance to the underground world in the wasteland, which leads to the underground castle of the gray dwarves. There are some fire flowers growing on that geothermal belt. There is ice grass, but in that case we have to go through the hyena camp completely and meet a group of lions, which are natural hunters on the grassland. If you are unlucky and meet a level 1 monster manticore, remember to throw away all the burdensome supplies and run as far as you can!" Kuz said as he put the lit charcoal into the iron pot and placed a grate made of steel wire as thick as chopsticks on it.

In order to eat the special barbecue, we also took great pains to ask for it from the caravan blacksmith. The charcoal was placed on one side of the iron pot. After the iron grate was placed in the pot, the marinated pork chops were placed on the other side of the grate, and then the round pot lid was put on. We just waited for the heat of the charcoal to smoke the marinated meat in the iron pot. The barbecue tasted great and had a bacon flavor.

Qi Ge and Katarina could only wait on the side and could not help at all. Kuz and I's dazzling cooking methods seemed very different. They directly regarded these cooking techniques as secret cooking methods in the orc tribe, because ordinary orcs didn't know how to do it! At this time, the wild boar lard in another oil pot had been boiled. I asked Katarina to help me pick out the oil residue and put it in a leather bag. Kuz liked these oil residues boiled from fat meat very much. They tasted fragrant, crispy and very filling. Moreover, if a little salt was added, it was very convenient to store, even if you take it on the road.

I fished the hare meat out of the river, cut it into half-palm-sized pieces, marinated it with seasoning, coated it with a layer of potato starch paste, rolled it in black bread crumbs, and fried it directly in the oil pan. The fragrance of the rabbit meat came out immediately. Qi Ge stood by and watched with shining eyes. Her little nose smelled the aroma and kept asking me if the meat pieces that had just been put into the oil pan and had not yet changed color were cooked. It is always true that girls are the most greedy.

At this time, I thought to myself with some self-mockery: We are a group of foodies. Even when the group of people chasing us were only a river away from us, we did not run away, but actually set up camp on the river bank and lived there, and took great pains to prepare a sumptuous meal for ourselves. This is too heartless.

The remaining pork leg meat was chopped into minced meat and rolled into meat patties by Kuz. It was piled up like a small mountain on a copper plate. At this time, I also fried it in the oil pan and turned it into flat meatballs. In this season, these meat patties should be able to be stored for three to five days without going bad. We can take them with us on the road, or when we stop somewhere, we just need to boil a pot of water and put a few fried meatballs in it, and it will easily become a pot of delicious stewed meatballs. If we can pick some wild shepherd's purse and put it in, it will be even more delicious.

We spread a clean tablecloth on the grass by the river, and it was filled with delicious food, including roasted brown and crispy wild boar steaks, fried golden and fragrant wild rabbit meat pieces, and a large plate of meatballs. Qi Ge even asked Katrina to heat up a few wheat cakes. There was a thick pork bone and wild vegetable soup in the soup pot next to it. When we sat down and were about to share the delicious food that we had worked hard for an afternoon, we saw Kuz's hairy ears move flexibly. He had put down the hand that was originally holding a soft meat steak, and his other hand touched the alloy bow placed aside.

At this time, Catalina, who was sitting next to me, suddenly seemed a little nervous. Her white and tender hands trembled and she almost spilled the steak on the plate on the ground. I could clearly feel the fear in her heart, and at the same time I was amazed at the alertness of the beastmen in the wild. I thought that my ears and eyes had become very sharp recently, but I could not catch up with Kuz in the wild. Now I find that I am not as good as Catalina. These skills are brought from the womb. Catalina sat next to me and said to me in a low voice: "Someone is coming over there!"

The first thing I thought of was that the group of noble children suddenly found a way to cross the river! But I immediately realized that it couldn't be, because Kuz and Catalina were not looking at the north bank of the river, but at the grassland in the south. I followed their gaze and saw a dragon running rapidly on the horizon under the blue sky and white clouds. Its light blue scales reflected dazzling light under the sun. A tall figure sat in the leather saddle on the back of the dragon, holding the reins in one hand and holding his leg with the other hand. He was as steady as a mountain.

In the livestock market in Yemen, I have seen mount dragons that are more than two meters tall. These low-level land dragon creatures are very irritable and difficult to tame, and their wings have long been degenerated like two featherless chicken wings. It is said that their two strong and powerful long legs can reach more than ten meters in a leap, making them rare and extremely fast land creatures. And according to Kuz, only warriors with strong strength dare to ride such a ferocious mount. Looking at the direction of the mount dragon's running, we determined that it was running straight towards us. For such a strong man who dared to walk alone in the wilderness, we didn't know what to do for a while.
