The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 400 Cooking Competition (Happy Lantern Festival, everyone!!)

In the Manshaxi Mountains, where Allen had dug a hill and a foothill of more than 100 meters alone, there was a huge crowd. Dozens of tall and majestic hobgoblins and bugbears, with their upper body muscles exposed, were sweating profusely. Excavation of this solid granite.

Occasionally, a few short gray dwarves appeared, with the guidance of professional talents. In fact, the speed at which these 30 goblins dug into the mountains was not much slower than when Allen split the mountains with his legendary strength.

The Green Field Tribe already has a relatively complete system for physical training. When breaking through to the mid-level at a low level, in addition to basic combat skills that are hard to practice every day, there are also heavy-duty hiking, deep-water tempering, etc., but when it comes to breaking through to the mid-level, At high levels, such tempering methods gradually have less effect. People often need to fight and kill more intensely to improve.

However, such an improvement is extremely risky. In recent years, as the tribe has begun to send out outstanding tribesmen to travel and take risks, earning money is secondary. It is more hoped that they can integrate the foundation laid in the junior and middle levels, and also Use actual combat to stimulate potential and take one step closer.

The effect is indeed good. Since Gou Sheng, Gill and others started, more than fifty goblin tribesmen have gone out every year. Among the tribesmen who returned after two or three years of adventure, almost 1/5 of the tribesmen have broken through to high levels. However, although there were many tribesmen who broke through, there were also many tribesmen who died in the adventure. Counting the severely injured and disabled tribesmen, almost 1/5 of the tribesmen became useless waste or simply turned into cold ashes.

Therefore, in addition to adventurous travels, Allen is also trying to find another relatively safe way to help his tribe improve their own strength. Gradually, there are some ideas. The food "Bone-eroding Pain" made from the flesh and blood of high-level devils and demons is still being improved. The waterfall tempering method cannot be put into practice for the time being because there is no suitable geographical environment in the tribal plain.

Now, after Allen personally tested the rock-cutting exercise in the Manshaxi Mountains for more than a month, and felt that it had some effects, he directly transferred the 30 guys who were stuck on the 12th level threshold in front of him and brought them to the mountains. Carry out arduous training for at least half a year.

"If I don't shout stop, no one can stop!! Squeeze out the last bit of strength from you, as well as the energy in your body, whether it is fighting spirit or anger... every ounce must be consumed in large quantities!! "

Allen's whole person was ruthless, his eyes were cold and murderous. Every time someone looked into his eyes, he couldn't help but panic, and his men's movements were a little faster.

The fierce and heroic echo echoed in this man-made valley basin that was getting wider and wider. No goblin dared to be lazy, even if they were already hungry, sore and weak at this time. They were hung not far away. The miserable fate of the compatriots on the stone pillars is their warning.

Life in the clan is getting better and better, and clan leader Allen rarely shows force and punishment in front of the clan members, which makes everyone in the Green Field clan gradually feel tired. The previous land reforms were also due to changes made by Allen after he noticed the changes in the hearts of the tribe; now this group of fat and tortured backbone members of the tribe are even more angry with Allen for their failure to live up to their expectations, so he did it Brutal training.

"Clan..."

"Shut up, if you have the strength to speak, you can swing the heavy weapon in your hand one more time and squeeze one more of your body's potential. When you break through to the high level, when will you have the opportunity to return to the village to rest for a few days? , otherwise, just stay here and chop rocks!!"

Allen didn't care that the hobgoblin below was in such miserable condition that he was about to become dehydrated. As long as he didn't completely faint, their exercise was not over yet.

For this closed exercise, Allen also brought out Linus and another dwarf druid named Rolando. While beating Linus and the others who were a little slack, he could also use Druid to Yi Shen Shu casts recovery spells on the group of goblins below to avoid leaving hidden injuries.

Rolando, the dwarf, is another Druid in the clan who has been promoted to the mid-level after Linus, and according to Allen's expectations, he has been promoted to the branch of natural healer, whether it is blessing magic or restoration. Divine magic is much stronger than Linus who is half-assed.

Linus's talent as a spellcaster is still a bit low, and coupled with his early escape personality, it has been difficult to advance to Druid of the Claw over the years, and he was overtaken by Rolando, who learned magic later than him. Well, to be honest, he felt a little bit sorry for himself. Therefore, although Allen asked Linus to come here to endure hardship this time, he never gave up on learning when he did not need to cast spells to restore physical strength and energy to other compatriots.

Now, Linus's pet has changed again. The previous Xiaobai and his Warcraft companion Xiaohui have now become the highest predators in the Green Plains. Linus, who had thoroughly understood the warg transformation, no longer needed to study the habits of the warg, so he asked the hunting team for help and captured an iron-backed bear cub as his next choice for transformation. Target.

The warg population is growing steadily, and now has more than 30 animals. Now, after the new warg pups are born, they will be accompanied by a dwarf warrior in Green Lake Village, who will take care of the pups' diet. living area to facilitate communication with each other. After all, they are one of the most intelligent beings among animals. After the wargs and dwarfs raised since childhood were combined into one to form the cavalry, the combat power formed can now threaten even low-level 5-6 dwarf goblin warriors. to the strength of an intermediate level 9-10 warrior.

When the alchemy of the clan has made great progress, and the dwarfs can skillfully use alchemy props such as fire guns and iron grenades, their combat effectiveness will be improved to a higher level.

"You bastard, you are lazy again!!!"

It was rare for Allen to regain his identity as a teacher. The group of goblins under his eyes were screaming miserably. If he moved a little slower, a small stone in Allen's hand would fly over and leave a mark on the opponent's muscles on the spot. Next bruise, but not really bruising.

The area of ​​​​the valley is getting larger and larger. In another direction, several gray dwarves are filling a fist-sized stone cave with black powder. Every time there is a thunderous sound, it means that a large gap has been torn apart in a solid rock mountain.

It's a pity that the identity of gray dwarves is not popular in the above world, and their reputation is not very good. Although Allen has been searching for this well-forged race over the years, the current world has only just added to the Manduli couple. He only had a dozen gray dwarf subordinates, both good and bad. Fortunately, there are still several females among these gray dwarves who can form a breeding pair with the males, but now there are 5-6 new gray dwarf children.

With the addition of new tribesmen, and Allen's designation of Manduli to lead this group of new compatriots, Manduli's loyalty to the Green Field tribe has been greatly improved. Nowadays, some dwarf goblins come to Manduli to learn forging, and he has taught them some simple forging knowledge many times. He is no longer as self-respecting as before, and does not give the villagers a chance to learn forging skills.

If we look at it from a macro perspective, the team of dozens of goblins and dwarves in front of us can dig through the rocks at a speed that is almost slower than a turtle crawling. Viewed from the sky, the narrow cross-section of the foothills is at least 300 miles long, and it is really discouraging to extend forward at such a speed.

But Allen doesn't care at all. Every step forward is actually a step towards success. At the same time, these guys in the clan can also get exercise from it. Why don't you give it a try if you can achieve several things with one stone?

When the day passed like this, a group of goblins swallowed a lot of food and fell asleep. They didn't care that the place they were in was an open air without any cover, and they didn't even bother to take a few steps. , to a simple house built of stone bricks not far away.

The swaying guys were sleeping without any appearance. After a while, heavy snoring began one after another, but no matter how loud the snoring was, it could not wake up these rough men at this time.

Allen inspected the team, regardless of whether they could enter the stone house to rest. Anyway, they were all rough-skinned and rough-skinned, so even if they got a little cold at night, it wouldn't matter. On the other hand, the two or two guys on the stone pillar who were picked out and severely punished are still unconscious, and Allen is a little worried that he has struck too hard.

After finding Linus and the others to treat the two unlucky guys who were lowered from the stone pillar, Allen estimated the time and went back now, just in time to catch up with the village cooking competition tomorrow.

"The supervision task for these two days will be left to you. If you dare to let these bastards off, then you will go to the mountains for them!!"

Call Linus over, Allen ordered seriously. At the same time, there was a bit of terror in his eyes, which reminded Linus of the hardships he had suffered at the hands of Allen in his early years, which scared him at the time. Cleverly, he quickly replied: "Okay, Patriarch!"

Allen, who flew away through the sky, had already arrived at his own stone castle within two spells. Even now, he is still not quite used to it. There is another trace of someone's presence while sleeping, so he is too lazy to return to himself. On the bed, I simply dived into the green lake that was getting smaller and smaller, taking a bath and meditating with my eyes closed to pass the time.

When the sky brightened, Allen also came back from meditation, his energy and physical strength were restored to their best, and a new day began. The square that was temporarily built with magic during the last wedding was not restored to its original appearance because of the cooking competition that Allen later proposed. Instead, it took some time and effort to build squares on the stones transformed by magical power. stove.

At this time, under the reflection of the morning sun, the tribesmen in Green Lake Village got up one after another and began to arrange the venue in the square outside the village. Various ingredients and condiments were delivered to the nearby pergola and chilled with ice water.

From the figures of the clansmen this morning, we can see some of the problems in the clan today. The majority of the villagers who really get up early to work are dwarfs and humans, and there are also a small number of hobgoblins. As the leader of the clan, Among the bugbears on the upper level, even the lower-status female bugbears, Allen looked around and didn't see many.

Hearing that there was going to be a cooking competition in the village, Pavao, Dashan and others who were stationed at important strongholds such as Torrent Bay and Auror Mine returned one after another. Even Mauro, who had limited mobility, rode a snow-white horse. The tall and strong war horse returned to the village two days ago.

The daily life atmosphere in the wilderness is too dull, and as the several old bosses who sit in the village's radiation area of ​​influence, naturally it is not easy to leave their stronghold and travel outside. Therefore, whenever there is something lively in the village, it is always necessary for a few old guys in the village to join in and have fun.

With the rise of new forces in the village, the status of the older generation such as Dashan and Pavao is really embarrassing. In terms of strength, they are considered the top part of the clan. Although their physical bodies have begun to decline, their actual combat experience They are rich, even if they face the strong men of the new generation, they have a great chance of winning.

However, their knowledge and energy can no longer keep up with the development needs of the tribe. Whether it is knowledge reserves, formed cognition and character, or even ambition, they have fallen behind the new generation of young goblins. Too many Too much.

Therefore, instead of letting these old guys become a shackles to the clan, it is better to follow the tasks assigned to them by Hua She and all of them were sent by Allen to surrounding strongholds to retire.

In more than ten years, another group of new forces will grow up. The leaders with insufficient ability among the previous group will naturally have to make way for the new forces. Then when guys like Mauro and Dashan retire, let Kerr and others Guys who are incompetent in a field should take over.

"Clan leader, when did you come back?"

Everyone knew that Allen took the seeds cultivated by his clan to the mountains to the west for training. However, at the cooking competition that was about to start at this time, Shi Sheng and Dashan discovered that Allen had come to the venue before them to inspect preparations. The situation is somewhat surprising.

"I came back last night."

Allen actually stayed in the field for more than a spell before senior officials like Shi Sheng appeared. Therefore, Allen's face was somewhat unhappy at this time. He turned around and scolded Shi Sheng in a harsh voice: "Shi Sheng, as the village chief, you, When big things are done in the village, you must take the lead, otherwise how will you convince the public in the future?"

"Teacher, I was wrong!!"

Shi Sheng was a little ashamed, and he bowed his head and admitted his mistake on the spot. His attitude made Allen very happy, so he reminded him a few words and said nothing more.

"You will be in charge of the opening and holding of the competition later!!"

"Oh well."

Allen has gradually let go of many things in the clan, which leaves him with fewer and fewer things to worry about and more time to improve himself and think about the future development of the clan. Although this is just the first time for a cooking competition like this, Shi Sheng is not inexperienced. The clan competition that happens every two years is now organized by Shi Sheng and others.

When the sun rose in the sky and the time came to nearly noon, everyone in Green Lake Village finally arrived. With Shi Sheng's rough voice, he used the spell scroll of the Speaker's Amplification Technique to announce the rules of the competition one by one, and After the competition grouping, rewards, etc., when the gongs and drums sounded, the first team of goblins participating in the competition, wearing gray and white aprons and small hats, started their performance in a decent manner.

Tat-tat-tat-tat... The rhythmic sound of the chopping board was heard, converging into a dull noise.

Ding, clang, clang... the collision between the iron pot and the shovel inspired a long symphony.

There was also the crisp sound of dishes clattering, the shouts of the goblin chefs and the shouts of relatives cheering for them from time to time, bringing laughter to Green Lake Village.

The winner will receive thousands of pounds of morning wheat, several bolts of exquisite silk, and a vegetable plot that does not require paying any taxes from the clan... Attractive benefits are always the magic weapon to drive people to the best, even Allen himself. Unexpectedly, when the news of these rewards was revealed, the whole village people enthusiastically participated.

It is no different from the biennial competition in the clan. Although everyone is also aware of the generous rewards for the winners, the limitations of their strength make many people self-aware and only act as cheering spectators, rather than dare to challenge those strong and powerful compatriots. .

The prepared delicacies will be judged by dozens of tribesmen with the sharpest noses and tongues in the village, as well as gourmets from Oakleaf Church, living in the village, and representatives appointed by Eric and others, through collective scoring. , conduct primary election, re-election, and the final five winners.

Because of the large number of people participating, it took more than half a month in the village just to prepare the ingredients. For this reason, Allen also took out the dimensional bag given to him by the old man Philip in the family property, and handed it over. These ingredients are specially stored for Shisheng to ensure that the ingredients can be optimally protected in the dimensional bag without problems such as water loss and deterioration.

The space in the dimensional bag is a vacuum constant-temperature environment, and the food and ice cubes are sealed together. When taken out half a month later, the ice cubes have not thawed and the food is still frozen.

Also because of the large number of participants, the village simply stayed away from work for a few more days and allowed everyone to watch the contestants make food. By the way, after the selection was completed, everyone could enjoy a gourmet feast without wasting food and gaining more with one stone.

Pan-frying, deep-frying, stir-frying, boiling, stewing, roasting... the 'Ellen' food series has developed to now, and now has a total of these 6 cuisines that are gradually differentiated based on different cooking techniques.

At this time, the contestants in the field chose the method they were best at according to their past lamentations. Because the competition required the contestants to make dishes that could not be new dishes already in the family, so at this time when Alan was inspecting, he discovered , the dishes made by many tribesmen do have a lot of new ideas, although the taste is not yet known.

Even he was a little surprised. It turned out that the tribesmen had already made so many innovations based on their own development of dishes. In terms of color, flavor and taste, there was actually something to go for. Even Allen was greatly inspired. .

If I had known it earlier, I should have held this cooking competition earlier. Maybe there would be many new and delicious dishes in the family cooking teaching.

With this in mind, Allen is also full of confidence in this competition. After the competition is over, there will be a few more special dishes on the family menu.
