Lux's Farewell

Chapter 290 [0286] Under the stars
Dasai thick soup is indeed a traditional dish in Shurima, but this dish is not a home-cooked dish, but a travel dish-it is a dish that people who go out and walk in the desert most often taste.

The recipe of this dish is also very simple.

First, spread a piece of naturally dried salina on the bottom of the pot, then peel and cut the sand potatoes on top, fill the gaps between the sand potatoes with barley, add a little air-dried vegetables on top, and finally use water Just submerge the vegetables, cover the pot, and let it simmer on the grit.

Salina and sand potatoes are very cheap vegetables in Shurima. The former is similar to kelp, but thinner and wider. After cutting and drying, it is almost as thick as a page of paper; the latter is a kind of plant tuber with a slightly bitter taste. , the outer skin has a scale-like structure that can completely lock water.

Whether it is salina or sand potato, they are extremely storage-resistant and are good companions for desert travel.

According to Kalya's instructions, Lacus and Ino chopped vegetables one by one, and added water by the other. They were soon ready and put the covered pot on the hot gravel.

The sun was setting while the two of them were working unskillfully.

As the last ray of sunlight faded, the temperature in the desert cooled at an alarming rate.

Skalash, who was standing aside just now, took the initiative to get close to Lacus this time. He bent his knees, tested the temperature of the sand here, and chose a place that was not far or close to the fire pit. Lie down.

Then, a pair of big eyes narrowed, and the mouth began to chew again.

Without Karya's urging, Ino already realized what she was going to do. She came to Scarash, stretched out her hand and scratched its chin, and after it showed a satisfied expression, grabbed its ear.

Ino intends to change the direction of the Scarash to shield himself and Lacus from the wind.

"Look at Ino!" Kalya never gave up on this opportunity, "If I look at you, I know I'm here waiting to eat."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Lak waved his hand indifferently, "You're all right—I don't know if it's my hallucination, but your temper seems to be getting worse recently."

Lax's words made Karya a little silent, and after a long time, he finally sighed in an extremely artificial manner.

"The child has grown up and started to resist."

The sudden old-fashionedness almost flashed to Lux's waist, she directly thrust her saber into the sand beside her, glanced at the staff of the void, finally stood up, and went to discipline Skalash with Ino went.

One scratched his chin, the other pulled his ear, and finally Skalash, who had been lying on the ground, stood up slowly. After changing the direction, he lay down on the ground again—this time, it was generous. The body blocked the cold wind at night, and both Lux and Ino felt a lot warmer after returning to the fire pit.

After a while, the water in the pot began to boil, and a wonderful aroma filled the air.

After confirming to Karya that the meal was ready, Lux opened the lid excitedly, and then showed a puzzled expression.

"Did we put in less water? Or overcooked it?" Lux looked at the semi-solidified "soup" in the pot with some hesitation, and couldn't help grinning, "It smells good, but it doesn't feel worthy of the name... "

"This is a desert." Karya explained helplessly, "You have Ino making ice by your side, so there is no shortage of water—but for most people, the water in the desert needs to be saved, which is already considered Soup!"

"Oh……"

"Okay, let's try it!" Kalya urged, "This dish used to be one of my favorites!"

Hearing what Kalya said, Lacus picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, blew gently, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The slightly bitterness of the yam and the saltiness of the salina subtly combine together, perfectly covering up the shortcomings of each other and adding a subtle flavor. The yam full of juice is very chewy, while the yam But soft and waxy, this classic combination makes Lacus shine.

Karya was right!
It's really delicious!

"Ino, try it too!"

"Well, it's really good..."

"Yes, yes, hehehe, this is the first time I cook with my own hands."

"Lax is indeed a genius!"

"..."

"..."

Just like that, Lacus and Ino took a spoonful of each other, and quickly ate up the half pot of Dasai thick soup.

After simply brushing the pot with ice water and tidying up everything, Lax and Ino dug a shallow pit not far from the fire pit, and put their sleeping bags in it.

After walking around Scarash with his eyes closed twice, the two got into their sleeping bags.

Lying down on your back, you can see a bright starry sky in front of your eyes.

And Lacus and Ino haven't seen such a pure starry sky for many years.

In Eno's memory, the last time she saw such a sky was in Miril City. At that time, she was a little maid in a noble family. When she came home at the beginning of each month, her mother would always hold her hand. , and she talked very late very late.

Miriam City is a plateau city in the northern part of Demacia, and there are no lights on the outskirts at night.

Every midnight, there is such a bright starry sky outside the window of her house.

Eno wanted to know the names of those stars and the stories of those constellations several times, but as a peasant girl, she seemed destined not to have that chance.

Later, she left Mithral City and entered the Arcatraz.

Later, she left Demacia and took a boat all the way to Piltover.

Along the way, she saw countless prosperity that she had never seen before, but she never saw such a pure starry sky again.

As for Lux, even if she went to Mithral City once, she didn't notice the beautiful starry sky there.

Therefore, when they lay down side by side in the sleeping bag, looking at the endless galaxy in the sky, both of them even held their breath subconsciously.

"Kalya!" Lux stretched out one hand from the sleeping bag, and grabbed her saber directly, "Look, the starry sky!"

"Yes, the starry sky." Kalya also echoed, "There is no moon tonight... just to teach you how to identify the stars."

"...Don't we need to sleep?" Lux's emotion disappeared at this moment, "I'm already very tired."

"Didn't you realize that there is no tent in my shopping list?" Kalya laughed again, "During this trip, you have to learn how to go out at night and sleep, and you have to do it behind Scarash's back." Let's solve it!"

"???"

"The stars are brilliant, although they are beautiful, but when you climb Mount Targon, it will be your deadliest test." Kalya said meaningfully, "Now, let's identify the most recognizable constellations in the sky of Shurima ... Well, let's start with the Pantheon constellation!"

　Karya's Small Classroom Desert Camping:

　　Without setting up a tent, the only result of camping directly in the desert is to be buried by a thin layer of sand when you get up.
