Food Poems

Chapter 89: So delicious that it fell off?

Faced with the platypus that gave in immediately, Ye Zhi couldn't help but smile.

Swamps are rich in resources, producing abundant peat, plants and fish, and have great economic value.

The more important thing is.

Peat produced in swamps is an important raw material for brewing whisky.

Whiskey made from barley malt smoked with peat to produce a unique aroma was famous all over the world even in the past.

The wine industry has always been a highly profitable industry.

Yeats is confident that he can greatly enhance the strength of his territory through whiskey, a money-making tool!

"I've already promised you, you can't let the Dullahan out to harm me again."

As the platypus spoke, he took a few steps back, and looked up at Yeats with his two small eyes on his flat duck beak.

"How are you going to prove that you won't break your promise?" Yeats said.

The platypus thought to himself, I was afraid you would go back on your word!
Then the terrible Headless Horseman has signed a contract with you.

Even if you want to fill up this swamp, I can't do anything about it!

The platypus stared with his eyes wide open: "Then I swear to nature and promise to help you manage this swamp. Is that okay?"

Vows have a strong effect in this world.

What's more, this nature spirit is very weak, and Ye Zhi is not afraid that it will go back on its word.

The larger the natural area, the more powerful the natural spirits born there will be. For example, the desert spirits bred by the great deserts of the southern continent can probably only be contended with by the strong ones in the Sanctuary.

Ye Zhi smiled slightly and said, "In a while, I will send knights into the swamp to clear out the monsters, and then let my subjects come to the swamp to mine resources. I hope you won't make things difficult for them then."

In order to completely control this production area, it is a prerequisite to completely eliminate the monsters, so that the people can come here to work. Ye Zhi plans to give this task to Fokasi. The second ring knight is more than enough to sweep this swamp, and ordinary soldiers can be sent for daily patrols afterwards.

The platypus said weakly, "I know. I will protect this swamp for you, quack!"

By obtaining the swamp spirit's oath of allegiance, Yeats gained ownership of the swamp, and the territory expanded for the first time.

In addition, he successfully signed a contract with the Headless Knight, which once again improved his overall strength!
"From the battle just now, the Dullahan and the Nightmare Horse can work together to exert the combat power of the third ring."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "But the Dullahan will be much weaker when he dismounts, and his combat power will be around the second ring level. Hmm... I can't suppress a summoned beast that is too strong. A summoned beast of this strength is just right for my current level."

It is common for mages of the Summoning School to be attacked by their own summoned beasts in the Midgard Continent.

The Mage Guild also explicitly prohibits mages from contracting summoned beasts that exceed their own level, but there are always mages who take risks for power.

Even though I only have one ring, my pets are all geniuses!

Ye Zhi thought to himself… As long as his loyalty can be improved, the Headless Knight can also become an important fighting force for me!

Anyway, how do you eat without a brain?

Yeats scratched his head.

Practice is the only way to test truth.

Let's go back to the territory and watch the Dullahan have dinner.

Although the platypus had some complaints about Yeats, it still turned around and crawled back into the bushes as promised, then picked up a small amulet from the nest with its beak as a thank-you gift to Yeats.

"Platypus Swamp Charm: Excellent. Your movement speed in the swamp is slightly increased, your stamina recovery is accelerated, and your melee weapons have a slight increase in poison damage. The above effects are more obvious when you imitate the crawling of a platypus."

Ignoring the flawed second half, this amulet is still quite useful.

Including the two gems I just got, this trip was quite rewarding.

Ye Zhi thanked him and said, "Thank you, Platypus. I will ask someone to bring you food that I made myself in the future."

The platypus said: "I want to eat that killer vine dumpling, it looks delicious!"

Gray said, "So you've been spying on us for a long time."

The platypus shook its beak, turned around and crawled back to its nest, leaving behind a message:
"Watching is the job of nature spirits. You humans won't understand!"

It was late at night, and the swamp forest fell silent again. The spherical light source formed by the dancing lights spell illuminated the halfling with messy hair.

Witnessing the Baron defeating the Swamp Giant and signing a contract with the Headless Knight, Finn felt indescribably shocked.

This is simply the great hero praised in the story!
At this time, Finn saw the baron turned around and invited him:

"My territory is in need of people right now. Why don't you three stop being adventurers... Come to my territory and I'll pay you a salary every month?"

"I will also provide you with additional funds for inventions, Finn Axlewheel," said the Baron.

Finn was startled, his heart agitated, his hands nervously twisting the hem of his clothes, he said with fear and trepidation:

"It's my honor! Baron, it's great to be able to serve you!"

Serin and Irene looked at each other and whispered.

After a while, the two reached an agreement, looked at Ye Zhi, and said in unison:

"At your service, Lord Baron!"

Ye Zhi nodded. Although this Isu couple was not as important as Finn, the mechanic, they were still useful.

Unexpectedly, this trip added three new first-ring transcendents to the territory, and also contracted a headless knight for himself.

Ye Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's getting late, please follow me back to the territory!"

……

Back at the territory, Yeats asked the butler Derek to accommodate the three guests.

Afterwards, he invited Gray and Hildreth to have a midnight snack together.

The midnight snack was cream soup and roasted lamb leg. Although it was not Warcraft cuisine, it was made by Yeats and its appearance and taste were first-class.

Lord's Mansion, Restaurant.

The long table was covered with a tablecloth, decorated with candlesticks and tableware, and tapestries hung on all four walls.

Gray scooped a spoonful of cream soup, but did not put it into her mouth. Instead, she stared at the headless knight beside Yeats.

Hildreth's expression was also extremely focused. She sat upright, her golden eyes fixed on the Headless Knight.

Even Ye Zhi himself couldn't help but turn his head and cast a curious look.

The headless knight, wearing a pumpkin head, sat on a chair, lowered his head and "looked" at the roasted leg of lamb on the plate, then raised his arms horizontally.

In her palm, the black mist condensed into a crow with black feathers and red eyes. The crow flew to the plate, stood on it, and pecked at the roasted leg of lamb.

The next moment, the crow was stunned for a moment, then continued to lower its head to enjoy the delicious food.

Gululu——

The headless knight's pumpkin head rolled to the ground.

She calmly picked up the pumpkin head and put it on her head skillfully.

"My familiar can share my sense of taste." The Dullahan said telepathically, "It's delicious and full of energy."

Gray looked shocked.

Yeats's dishes are so delicious!
"Do you have a name?"

Seeing that she seemed to have regained some sanity, Ye Zhi asked.

"Kelya." The Dullahan replied.

Ye Zhi pondered and said, "I promised you that I would help you investigate the whereabouts of the head... How much do you remember?"

"I came here through the realm of death at the call of Yulin," Kelya whispered. "My memory is already fragmented, but I can still feel a faint connection with my head. It's as if I was trapped in a dark secret room and it was difficult to breathe."

Yulin, I should say that nightmare horse.

Yeats remembered that Earl Thomas had said that the Duke of Hudson was trying to summon the Headless Horseman to serve him through the medium of the Nightmare Horse.

But the Nightmare Horse was accidentally lost and was brought back by the Prince Charming, Carrot, which unexpectedly led to the signing of a contract between me and the Headless Knight Kyla.

After all this... you, Luobo, have done a great job!
Ye Zhi coughed lightly and said, "I will help you investigate the whereabouts of the head. Once you have any news, you can cancel the contract and go to look for it at any time. But before that, I hope you will obey my command and lend me a hand."

In fact, Yeats himself had no idea how to investigate.

But it’s like Cao Cao who tricked Guan Yu into working for him. He first promised to help Guan Yu find his elder brother, and the other things would be discussed later!
Kailya agreed and said calmly: "Follow your will."

In fact, the body of the Headless Horseman is a ball of black mist. It is said that this ball of black mist is connected to another dimension, the kingdom of the dead, also known as the underworld.

The ruler of the underworld is the goddess of death.

Therefore, the source of the Headless Knight's power is not the shadow power of the Goddess of Darkness, but the power of death.

Her weapon can also change its shape through the black mist, and the lance can be transformed into various weapons such as sickles and broadswords.

The beast tide could strike at any time, and the nighttime security forces in Morning Frost Ridge were still insufficient. Ye Zhi gave Kylia his first instruction after the contract. Since he was not familiar with it, he said politely:
"Kelya, I hope you can ride on Yulin and patrol the territory from night to dawn. If you find an enemy, tell me telepathically. Remember to use stealth mode to avoid causing panic."

Kelya nodded, and the pumpkin head fell for the third time.

Ye Zhi's eyes twitched.

Three goals, right?

"I have only one request," said Kylia.

"Ok?"

"You once used a spell to relieve my headache. I hope you can do it again," said Kelya.

Ye Zhi was slightly startled, then he realized that it was the Requiem he used when he contracted the Headless Horseman.

"Thanks to the effect of Requiem, Kylia has become much more rational. There is no need to use pumpkins anymore."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "I have to find a way to make a suitable helmet for Kailya, like a knight's barrel helmet, so that it won't break even if it falls!"

As the territory expands and the number of extraordinary people increases, the local laws and regulations of the territory must also be adjusted accordingly.

Yeats himself did not understand, so he gave the task to Grey, asking her to be as fair as possible.

Gray was biting a leg of lamb. When she heard this, her eyes lit up. She wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth and nodded vigorously.

When it comes to guarding, I'm certainly not as good as Hildreth.

But now, I've finally reached my area of ​​expertise!
