Food Poems

Chapter 13: The Dead Wood of Bronte
The Snow Owl's fighting spirit is like a volcano about to erupt.

Lena, with red hair and wolf ears, crossed her arms and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"It seems that your magical pet has made a decision, young master of the Brondi family."

As a businessman with a keen eye, even though Yeats did not reveal his identity, Lena still revealed his family background.

Ye Zhi always felt that there was something else behind the way Lena looked at him, as if she was planning something.

Ye Zhi was vaguely familiar with this tall beauty with black skin and wolf ears, as if there was such an NPC in the game.

She is an arms dealer with a keen eye for investment. After several versions, she became the top lady of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce and had a say in the entire merchant guild.

The first and foremost quality of a businessman who can rise to such a leading position is integrity.

Yeats felt somewhat reassured about the fairness of the fight.

"I would like to ask, if I participate in a beast fight, which pet will compete with my snowy owl?"

"That's the Warg."

Lyanna raised her chin toward the proud wolf.

"You and your pet are from the same ring, and we just experienced a battle. The difference in strength is not big. What do you think?"

"Gu! (◣_◢)"

Ye Zhi glanced at the murderous look of the Snowy Owl.

"My resentment for getting grouchy when I woke up is about to soar to the sky..."

Ye Zhi thought to himself and nodded silently.

According to the rules, if the Snow Owl wins, it will receive a bonus of five gold coins. The injured party in the fight will bear the medical expenses.

Gray and Fokasse stood by and watched with solemn expressions.

Ye Zhi had just contracted the Snowy Owl and had no experience in beast fighting, which made the two of them very nervous.

at the same time.

The guards of the camp shouted in unison.

The caravan traveled far and wide and needed talents of all races and languages. Halflings, dwarves, orcs and other members gathered together, making it very lively.

The wolf trainer was a tiger man with a tiger's face and a human body.

The Khajiit race ranges from petite cat people to literal tiger people. They have the racial advantage of "hiding footsteps" and can be seen everywhere from the Merchant Guild to the Thieves Brotherhood.

The tiger man in front of him was of medium build. He whistled, and the wolf immediately assumed a fighting stance, baring its fangs and with fierce eyes.

The battle begins.

The snowy owl flew high into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, strong and surging winds blew out from its wings.

The wind was so strong that Lena felt something strange flash across her eyes.

The wolf showed signs of struggle as it was blown back repeatedly by the second-ring strong wind spell. Its claws dug into the ground, creating two mud grooves.

Its eyes were bloodshot red, and it arched its back, ready to pounce and bite.

However, the strong wind had not yet ended, and the cold air suddenly became fierce! The frost wind blew out, and with the amplification of the second ring strong wind spell, it turned into a howling frost wind, instantly swallowing up the wolf!

After a while, the cold wind gradually subsided.

After the icy fog dissipated, everyone saw that the wolf had been frozen into an ice sculpture, its eyeballs still moving in the ice, and its expression was terrified under the ice.

"Hiss..." The tiger man took a breath.

It ended so quickly!
"Gu!" The Snowy Owl raised its head proudly.

It flapped its wings, and in front of the astonished crowd, it flew back to Yeats's raised arm and dozed off again.

"Cool...Zzz" Snowy Owl dozed off.

Now that the noisy guy is gone, I can take a nap!
The whole place was silent, with members of the caravan showing different expressions, ranging from surprise to doubt to approval.

Suddenly, loud cheers rang out from the silent scene.

Gray clapped her hands, "Well done, Yeats, Snowy Owl!"

The dragon girl was not afraid of the strange looks coming from all directions.

The white-haired old man looked calm and took a step forward. His burly figure diverted everyone's gaze.

The red-haired wolf girl Lena's eyes flickered, she raised her hands and clapped, smiling:

"What a clean and neat battle! Young Master Bronte, it seems that the 'rumor' is really biased!"

"At least--"

Lena looked at the silver-haired boy, her wolf ears twitching slightly and her eyes burning.

"You have an extraordinary talent in animal taming!"

Ye Zhi coughed awkwardly.

This is mainly because my bird is self-taught.

I'm just a cook who feeds the food.

anyway.

Is it really okay for the Yisu people to praise others for their animal taming skills?
Hearing Lena's words, Gray said strangely:
"Butler, what kind of rumors are there about your young master?"

Phokas's eyes showed reminiscence, and he whispered:
"In fact, the young master has a nickname that he doesn't want others to mention."

"What nickname?"

"Brondi's rotten wood." Fokasi looked at the silver-haired young man who was receiving applause from the crowd in front of the stage, his eyes flickering.

"Brown was famous, and the young master was highly expected when he was young. Later, he became the least talented one in the family... But that was in the past."

"The young master of today has already defeated his past self."

Phokas said in a deep voice: "This is a great victory!"

Gray stroked her chin.

Yeats is not only good at cooking, but also knows potions, and even seems to have unique insights into animal taming.

If he is a dead wood, then what am I? A lump of wood?

After winning the beast fight, Lena became more enthusiastic and the attitudes of the caravan members also improved significantly.

Ye Zhi felt that if there was a reputation system, the reputation of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce would have gone from "strangers" to "friendly" at this moment.

As for the biggest contributor, the snowy owl was still catching up on sleep and was energetic only at night.

Lena ordered people to present the prize money and took Yeats and others to visit the warehouse.

Soon, Ye Zhi picked out two pieces of enchanted equipment and purchased them at a discounted price using the materials of the Magic Flame Sheep plus a small piece of magic crystal.

"Whirling Hand Axe: One Ring. A hand axe made of fine iron that will automatically fly back to the thrower's hand after being thrown. Enchantment: Whirling"

"The boomeranging hand axe is just its most basic form. If necessary, you can also find another enchanter to give it elemental attributes, such as the Thunder Axe," Lena introduced.

Ye Zhi complained in his heart.

Can a weapon fly back by itself after being thrown out?
What Thor, for the glory of the God of the North?

Gray's eyes lit up when she heard this. She picked up the hatchet and couldn't let it go.

Lena said: "It is worth noting that this is not the 'Advanced Spinning' enchantment. The hand axe cannot return accurately to the user's hand when spinning, so the landing point of the flying axe needs to be controlled by the user himself."

It cannot be enchanted, but this hand axe has a high cost-effectiveness ratio, and the key is that it is very compatible with Grey's fighting style.

Yeats imagined Fangret throwing the axe and then rushing to catch it.

Draven, right?
Another piece of enchanted equipment that Ye Zhi chose for himself.

Mainly to increase one's own combat capability.

Ye Zhi knew very well that he had a weak constitution, but with this enchanted equipment, he didn't need to go to the front line himself.

Just stand in the back row and deal damage with your mouth.

"Evil Words Ring: One ring. A silver ring with exquisite carvings. Enchantment: Add evil words."

Ye Zhi picked up the silver ring and looked at it, and sure enough, he found two strange patterns on the inside of the ring, one was S and the other was B.

Ye Zhi: “…”

What a vicious statement!

Wicked Words, a 1st-level spell, utters a string of magical curses at a creature within range.

The other party doesn't need to understand it, just hearing the curse will hurt them emotionally.

It was like Prime Minister Zhuge's words "shameless old thief" which made Wang Lang vomit blood and fall off his horse.

Adding bad words to the target may also cause the target to have a cerebral hemorrhage, rupture blood vessels, and die from anger.

The charging conditions for the Ring of Malice are very convenient, mainly the thorns produced by thorn monsters, which are cheap. Lena gave a bag of thorns, which is enough for the Ring of Malice to be used for a long time.

This "bad words" is the first offensive spell I have mastered.

This kind of spell is mainly mastered by bards.

The bard is a profession that relies on language and music for assistance.

In the Bard's advanced sequence, there is a profession called Sword Dancer, who relies on his blade waltz-like sword skills to deal damage while spouting trash talk with his mouth.

Ye Zhi's current secondary occupation is a food chef, and his combat occupation is undecided. He is thinking that a ranger who can switch to a beast tamer, a druid, or a bard are all good choices.

Of course, the prerequisite is to open a link and officially step into the extraordinary.

Yeats sighed.

With my aptitude of "Fighting Power, Third Stage!"

I don’t know when I will be able to enter the extraordinary realm.

"You mentioned just now that you still need a batch of cold-resistant seeds. Is it for agricultural development in Morning Frost Ridge?" Lena asked.

Ye Zhi did not hide it and nodded.

"In fact, ordinary cold-resistant seeds have difficulty surviving in the farmland of Morning Frost Ridge."

Lena said: "The only thing I can offer you is rye seeds and a word of advice."

Ye Zhi looked at Lena's serious expression and realized that the following information would be very crucial.

"What advice?"

In the tent, the flickering candlelight reflected in Lena's deep eyes looked like an impending war.

"A cold wave is coming."

Lena's tone was stern.

"If you don't want to die, quickly take the civilians in your territory and move away, or simply don't take up your post at Morning Frost Ridge."

Ye Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

The main storyline is coming!
