Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

"What? Malushel wants to cook!"

"The sun rises from the underground maze?"

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

Leos, Chilcak and Sensi expressed their own thoughts.

Jon's turn.

In the expectant eyes of Malushil, he showed an innocent smile: "My mother gave birth to me."

Malushel: ???
Where is this?

Forget it.

unimportant.

The important thing is, I’m going to show off my cooking skills tonight.

The silly elf is full of confidence.

She can't cook monster food.

Normal vegetables, no problem!
For some reason, after seeing Malushil's expression, Laos 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 something unexpected happens to Malushil, it all depends on you, Jon!"

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 just saying that we are looking forward to Malushiel's dinner tonight. After all, you look very virtuous and seem to be a good cook." Laos is not stupid sometimes. On the contrary, his intelligence really impresses Jon.

It was just a simple straight shot, and it made Malushiel blush.

However, tsundere is the basic attribute of elves. Malushel shook her head in a typical way: "Who needs your compliments? I am not 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.

Wanting to make something delicious is not easy at all.

Back at the camp, Malushiel started cooking.

Laos, Chilcak and Sensi assisted her.

Peeling and cutting into pieces, he was busy and having a lot of fun.

Jon, who was in charge of the backup, asked for a pot and some seasonings and quietly walked away.

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

Cooking showdown?

Exactly what I want!

'Talented woman' Malushiel VS 'superb chef' Qiao Maoxing.

An invisible war has begun.

Laos thought that the harvested vegetables were so fresh that even if he was not a good cook, they would not be too bad.

Then, Malushiel told him with her actions: Boy, you are too naive!

"Stir fry three times and sprinkle salt. Mom said it's the right amount. What's the right amount? Three spoons should be enough."

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

"This tomato looks so weird, should it be cut horizontally or vertically?"

Famous lines came out of Malushel's mouth one after another, making Laos and the others feel uneasy.

There are a lot of dishes.

It can't stand being wasted like this.

By the end, Sensi was red and warm.

Fortunately, Maruxiel's cooking is also finished.

——Fresh vegetable stir-fry with elf flavor (served with rice)

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

Malushiel was a little embarrassed. "I clearly followed the method my mother taught me... Is it possible that these dishes may not look good, but they are actually delicious?"

Laos and Chilchak looked at each other and said nothing.

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

Malushel: "Hey! Just give it a try."

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

Chilchak: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Want to do it, Laos?

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

"Sai Gao!" he praised.

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

As he spoke, he also tried Malushil's stir-fried dishes.

"Well, you know what, it's not as bad as you imagined."

Malushiel rubbed her 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 the seasonings, the merits outweigh the flaws."

"Let me have a taste." 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."

"Yes, yes, I took this into consideration, so I added more salt." Malushiel said reluctantly.

At this time, Jon came back.

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

"How useless am I in your mind?" Malushel said unhappily.

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

Never mind the false feelings or false righteousness.

Anyway, all the food that Malushiel cooked was eaten.

just.

Not only did Malushel fail to understand the proportions of the seasonings, she also miscalculated the amount of food.
——Too little has been done.

"Are you not full yet? Wait." Jon put down his cutlery and walked out slowly.

After a while he came back with several dishes.

"What is this?" Senxi asked curiously.

Those dishes had a unique style. They did not belong to any particular ethnic group, but they formed their own system.

"This dish is three fresh vegetables. Eggplant, potato and green pepper are fried in oil and then stir-fried in a pan."

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

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

The four of them blinked.

It looks really good.

At least it looks much better than Malushil's elven-style stir-fried dishes.

"Then...shall we continue eating?" Laos asked.

"Eat, eat. How can we travel if we are not full?" Chirchak was the most active and stretched out his "claws" to the twice-cooked pork.

Eat it without making a sound.

No praise.

Just concentrate on showing off.

Leos was surprised and also tried the dish called "Three Fresh Dishes".

Then he stopped talking too.

Show off, I'm crazy about showing off!
"What are your reactions, one by one?" Malushiel felt a little strange and also tasted the three fresh dishes.

Take one bite.

She was silent.

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

Jon considerately added another bowl of rice for Malushiel.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Malushiel mumbled incoherently, and no one knew who she was angry with.

Senxi looked at Jon with eyes full of like-minded trust: "You can make such dishes, Qiao Qiao, you are also a person who loves life."

"What you love is your life." Jon smiled like his uncle: "My mother gave birth to me~"

Sensi: “Yes, we are all born by our mother!”

I guess only with love for your mother can you make such delicious food.

I learned it. I learned it.

Incidentally.

After dinner, while everyone was resting, Senxi went to the Colossus again carrying farm manure.

Not only did he fertilize the soil and replant the seeds, he also buried the magical core of the colossus again.

Wait for the seeds to take root and sprout, and the Colossus will regain its ability to move again.

It goes on and on in an endless cycle.

……

……

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

Chilcak didn't care at all.

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

Straight ball.

See the straight ball again.

A natural counter to tsundere.

I can’t deceive the ancients!

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?" Malushel blushed and kept hitting Remus on the head with her staff: "Think before you speak, you idiot!"

"It hurts." Laos was completely unprepared and almost got a bruise on his head.

He didn't understand why he was beaten.

But seeing how happy Malushiel was, he felt that it didn't matter even if he was hit a few times.

The adventure continues——

Because they harvested too many vegetables and had to throw them away because they couldn't be eaten, Sensi suggested moving the vegetables to a nearby tavern in exchange for other supplies.

Although it is rare, there is a gathering place for adventurers on the third underground floor.

They are just in corners and crevices, and you need to look carefully to find them.

Laos and others naturally had no objection.

The third underground floor is different from the first underground floor. Because it is farther away from the surface, there is almost no fairness here and everything depends on strength.

Fortunately, everyone in the group is an elite.

After getting rid of a few hooligans who came to cause trouble, the others wouldn't dare to do anything.

Walk into the pub.

Explain your purpose to the tavern owner.

The other party showed a look of disgust.

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

Laos glanced around.

A hint of enlightenment emerged in my mind.

The so-called transaction should refer to selling stolen goods...

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

However, agricultural products such as vegetables are not in short supply here, and the tavern owner looked disdainful and offered a very low price.

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

"Are you kidding me? That little money can't even buy a loaf of bread, but you want to buy 10 kohlrabi from us!"

The tavern owner looked at Malushil with a hungry look in his eyes. "Compared to vegetables, Miss Elf, if you are really short of money, would you like to earn some extra money from me?"

Malushel made a sound of "huh" and didn't react for a moment.

Laos stepped forward solemnly, "Please do not harass my companions."

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

Laos ignored him and turned around and said, "Forget it, Marusil. If the vegetables can't be sold, then let's leave here."

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

They want to leave.

But I can't leave.

I don’t know when, three circles of people surrounded me inside and outside.

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

"Hey, hey, hey, is something wrong?"

Chilchak, who had almost no fighting ability, hid behind Sensi, a look of panic flashing across his face.

If a real fight breaks out, he won't be able to help at all.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Senxi gripped the axe tightly, his expression not changing at all.

Laos drew his sword.

Malushel gripped the staff tightly.

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

A conflict was about to break out.

Just then, a group of burly green men broke in from outside the door.

After entering the door.

This group of greenskins doesn't waste any time, they just chop down anyone they see.

"Orcs? Why would they appear in such a place!" Chirchak looked horrified.

Instead, Senxi blinked his eyes: "It's them..."

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

The pub was in chaos.

Even the boss who had spoken rudely to him before was fired.

This is the underground maze.

An independent world where the strong prey on the weak (in every sense of the word)!
"It seems like we have no choice but to fight." Laos gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

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

Laos: ???

Just then, an orc rushed over.

Leos suddenly became nervous.

However, the orc paused after seeing someone's appearance: "Lord Jon!"

"Lord Jon?"

"Lord Jon?"

Laos and Marusil said in unison.

Sensi and Chilchak also turned their heads in confusion.

Jon calmly put down his hands and said, "Well, we are all family, don't hurt the relationship."

Malushel: ...

Can you explain why you are so familiar with orcs?
Senxi was even more moved and nodded to Jon: "I didn't expect that Qiao Qiao also has a relationship with them."

This 'also' is quite subtle.

Chirchak held his forehead helplessly: "Senxi, could it be you!"

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

The orcs spontaneously retreated to both sides.

But then a burly orc with an iron rod in his hand walked 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: ...

Chilcak: ...

Sensi: !!!
So, what exactly is going on?
Jon scratched his brow and explained simply, "I helped these orcs a little when I was adventuring in the underground maze alone before."

"How can it be just a small favor? Lord Jon, you are the hero who saved 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 this, he turned his head and said, "As you can see, this is the situation—"

"You are really amazing." Malushel said from the bottom of her 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 no weaker than the red dragon.

Thinking of this, Malushiel became more confident.

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

The boss and I scored 81 points together.

Jon and I worked together to defeat the red dragon.

How perfect~ (End of this chapter)
