The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

"Baron Badr, if you don't mind taking me for a walk in your territory!" Roland looked at the vigilant centaurs behind Bader and smiled.

"Of course, King...His Highness!" Badr could only lower his head and said feebly.

"Relax, don't get excited. We don't have any direct conflict, and being loyal to our king is not a bad thing for you! At least the Tuput tribe, which has suffered heavy losses, needs a strong protection, right?" Renault felt the tension on both sides. After the atmosphere, he came to the two people.

"...Please." Badr cast a deep glance at the contiguous army behind the two men, and had to take a deep breath to make way for them.

"Just follow the Knights of Holy Glory, others stay where they are!" Roland waved his hand to stop the army from marching out. If the Centaur really had unintended intentions, it would be difficult for the army to fall into the forest. The rapid infantry blocked by the dense forest would be difficult to use. They cannot form a rapid military formation and can only fight on their own. The ultra-long-range projectiles that Battanian shooters are best at will also be interfered by tree branches, so there is no point in having too many people. One knight is enough!

"Let's go and see the centaur camp!" Roland said with some emotion. It would be good to experience the exotic style.

…

Led by the centaur, the group walked through the bare forest, crossed the frozen stream, and crossed the fallen ancient trees. Finally, a large camp appeared in front of Roland and others, with tall wooden houses rising from the ground. When you stand up, the broad door is painted with exquisite patterns. This is the totem of the centaurs - the celestial horse with wings on its back! Legend has it that only one centaur can awaken its wings under the Pegasus Stone in the Centaur Kingdom. However, with the passage of time, the former Centaur Kingdom has long been lost in the long river of history, and the Pegasus Stone has also disappeared. The Centaur was in ruins and could no longer rebuild the kingdom, so the search for the Pegasus Stone came to nothing.

"Celestial beings..." Roland looked at the familiar totem and softly spat out a few characters. His eyes were full of surprise!

"Your Highness has seen these totems before?" Badr asked quickly.

Roland smiled bitterly. He had never seen a totem before. He had even seen it alive! The most popular follower in the game was once the Celestial Horse! Because centaurs can make mount contracts with humans! A knight contracted with a centaur can defeat most knights of the same level, let alone these one-of-a-kind celestial horses?

"Your Highness, I beg you to tell me the news you know! I beg you!" With a plop, Badr knelt in front of Roland. Only those who have truly led people to wander around for many years know the fear of loneliness! In the entire northern wasteland, Badr had never seen another centaur tribe. He even thought that he was the last centaur tribe. Now, there are actually people who can recognize the celestial horse totem! This shows where he has seen them! In a moment of excitement, Badr knelt in front of Roland.

"Get up, it doesn't matter if I tell you!" Roland sighed. Roland, who looked calm on the outside, was actually panicking. He was still thinking about how to make up this lie. After all, he couldn't tell Bader that these centaurs were the ones he had seen for three thousand years. Come on!

"I found this in the ancient books handed down from my ancestors. I just saw it and thought it was familiar, so I remembered it." Roland twitched the corner of his mouth and tried to pretend to be thinking.

"Ah! This... looks like this!" Balder's bulging muscles retracted instantly, and his straight spine became rickety. The disappointment in his eyes could not be concealed. He thought he could get news from his own clan, but he didn't expect...

"Your Highness, you haven't had your meal yet?" Badr's sharp hearing instantly caught the tumbling sounds of Roland and Renault's stomachs.

"Uh... I really haven't eaten yet..." Roland said with a slight blush. After all, after encountering such a mess early in the morning, he even missed the lunch time...

"I'll let people prepare food!" Balder said hurriedly. Although he didn't like humans very much, he was temporarily loyal to him after all, not to mention that the prairie elf king Verwei next to him also had to give some face.

After a while, some delicate but substantial food was brought up, including roasted hare dripping with fat, a thick soup made of cabbage stewed with dried venison, rough coarse wheat bread, some shriveled wild fruits, and even There was also a roasted wild boar cub.

"Please use it slowly!" In the spacious wooden house, Badr knelt on all fours in front of a table covered with thick fur and extended his hand to invite four people to eat.

"Hahaha, I'm not welcome!" The smell of burnt fragrance flowed into Roland's nostrils. The fragrant roasted suckling pig made Roland move his index finger. Even in Rapid City, it was difficult for him to enjoy this kind of food. Delicious, after all, the main source of meat in Swift River City is fish, and it is dangerous for ordinary people to go into the forest to hunt. It is too wasteful to send professionals to hunt, so the fresh red meat reserves in Swift River City have always been insufficient.

"Crack!" The stone table knife effortlessly cut through the crispy skin of the suckling pig. The tender and juicy suckling pig suddenly leaked fat from the crack. Roland moved his index finger three times and divided it into two pieces before cutting off a piece. Put it on your plate.

"Oh~ smells good!" Roland couldn't help but admire, they are indeed a nomadic people and horses, their skills in making meat are superb! Fat but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it’s the delicious food in front of you.

"Hahaha, it's fine if Your Highness likes it. This is a suckling pig marinated with the special seasonings of the human race..." Badr pretended to be mysterious.

"Huh?" Roland took a bite of the pork that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside and chewed it carefully. Sure enough, a faint apple aroma lingered in Roland's mouth. As the chewing time increased, the fruity aroma became stronger!

"Smells! This fruity fragrance is really amazing!" Roland praised.

"Hahaha, this is the Golden Flower Apple Jam brewed by Centaur! It is brewed from the best magic plant Golden Flower Apple! One fruit tree can only brew one vat! And the only thing that can really be used is the thin layer of golden color on it Sauce! There's only one bottle like this!" As he spoke, Badr made a circle with his hand that was less than half a fist.

"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect centaurs to have the talent of being a chef!" Roland almost swallowed the soup after taking a mouthful of it.

"tasty!"

"nice!"

Even Castro and Renault were full of praises. This simple soup is completely comparable to the craftsmanship of the Hobbit. The soup is as white as milk and full of rich aroma. It tastes mellow and delicious after entering the mouth. ,mellow! It has to be said that Centaur's cooking skills should also be full of points. When you tear into the bread and dip it into the thick soup, the aroma of wheat and rich aroma are mixed together, and you will be sublimated instantly after entering the mouth.

"Come here! Serve the wine!" Badr, who got excited about the conversation, slapped the table and said to the door.
