Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

Old Harper showed a look of reminiscence and regret.

"Ah, Mr. Harper, what happened to your former captain?"

Asked Rose, who started to heat canned food and instant noodles over water.

"That's not true. He just retired early to serve as a defense because of the wind leaking from the tent and kicking the quilt all night.

Old Harper explained.

"...that would be such a pity."

With the tone of old Harper just now, Rose thought that his regiment leader had starved to death and froze to death.

Ann and Canol didn't have any regrets about these strange things, and Canol, who aspired to be a chef, just became interested in writing about Rose's cooking equipment and cans again.

But Isabella was extremely shocked by the existence of this set of things.

As the head of a knight order, she knows exactly what this kind of equipment means to a legion!

Portable, reliable, sturdy makeshift camp with few restrictions, reusable heating equipment, plus high-calorie, easy-to-storage, easy-to-cook rations.

If the Northern Knights were given such equipment back then, she and her father might be able to push all the way to the capital of the Sig Republic!

Is this the Abyss Demon Race...

No, after getting along for this period of time and the previous experience in the Demon King City, Isabella has more or less made a judgment.

That is this succubus, which is much more special than other demons.

This is definitely her own doing...

"Ingredients with potion effects, enchanted construction tools, powerful space magic circle... Now there are enough equipment for any legion to greatly enhance the marching efficiency and expedition capability..."

Isabella felt a little confused as she watched Rose take out the boiled instant noodles and put them in cold water, then covered them with poached eggs and sprinkled with grated cheese.

What is the origin of this succubus?

After throwing away the hatred and fear towards her, temporarily forgetting the remorse and unwillingness in my heart, and examining this succubus with the most objective eyes——

Isabella found that even though she once wanted to inform the Holy Alliance about the succubus, she couldn't see through her at all.

How many secrets does she still hide?

"Isabella, come and help open the can!"

While she was thinking, the succubus' voice sounded again.

"Okay, Lady Rose."

After receiving the heavy, somewhat hot metal can, although it was the first time she saw this thing, Isabella quickly understood how to "open" this structure.

Pulling the tab open, the smell of meat penetrated into her nostrils.

"Damn succubus, I must find out your true face... I will definitely use these skills of yours one day!"

Isabella thought so, swallowing the saliva secreted from her mouth.

82 Listen to old Harper tell the story of the past

The characteristic of convenience food is convenience, which is easy to cook and easy to eat.

After a while, everyone had a full meal of hot cheese instant noodles with various canned meats and eight-treasure porridge.

Of course, Rose still found that she had underestimated Isabella's appetite.

Isabella ate one-third of the canned food that was originally planned to be eaten on the way tonight.

This lady knight is getting more and more relaxed!

It seems that if I want to eat meat while camping at night, I can only go hunting game.

Of course, the advantage of having a vast land and few people is that there are a lot of monsters and wild beasts, so hunting shouldn't be troublesome.

It's just that it's okay to talk about beasts. How to cook monster meat is quite complicated.

Most of the monster meat is used as "potion material", and it is quite harmful to eat directly!

If it is light, it will become a jet fighter, and if it is serious, it will belch and go straight to the sky.

Only the powerful digestive function of the abyss demons can allow them to eat these monster meat with confidence.

But... For Rose, she has also studied the special cooking of monsters as ingredients!

Next, you can also try to see how human beings accept your own cooking of monsters - after all, in Demon King City, many colleagues from the demon race condemned their cooking behavior as a waste of food, which made Rose sad for a long time.

Of course, that's another story.

Everyone is full tonight.

Because convenience food is really quick to eat, and it is really early to go to bed now.

After the bonfire was lit, everyone sat on the ground around the bonfire stand, enjoying the moment of leisure.

Rose continued to flip through the recipes, while Canol was relying on his strong taste buds and learning ability, trying to restore the production process of instant noodles in his brain; With his chubby belly, he quietly loosened the girdle in the knight armor by two spaces.

Old Harper looked at the four semi-paralyzed young men in different postures and the blazing bonfire in front of him. He felt his instinct as an adventurer was activated when he was busy, so he cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Ahem, it's nice to be young... This reminds me of my adventures with my friends when I was young! It was the summer of my 30 years old..."

Hearing Old Harper speak, Rose looked away from the recipe, showing an expression of interest.

"Oh—this atmosphere, it's time for the campfire story, isn't it?"

Although she had never been a human adventurer before, Rose knew that the time to camp around the bonfire after dinner during the adventure was the best time for mercenaries and adventurers to brag after drinking in taverns.

Rose is quite interested in listening to stories.

Although Ann and Isabella maintained a calm expression, although these two guys are very strong, they have obviously never been active as "adventurers".

Especially Isabella, also felt a little novel about the old Harper's story.

Kanol, the youngest, also seemed excited.

"Ah, Uncle Harper, I haven't heard the story of you killing the earth dragon for several days!"

"I'll go, you have killed the earth dragon!"

Rose was amazed, looked at Uncle Harper's hammer, and once again had some doubts about whether the old guy was hiding his strength.

When Harper heard Canol's words, facing the well-informed lord and Isabella, he also blushed and coughed twice.

"It's just a fluke... Today I won't tell the story of me killing the earth dragon, but mainly tell the story of the mysterious dungeon I encountered!"

Old Harper sat up a little bit, crossed his hands, and said seriously.

"The dungeon," Isabella muttered, "isn't that the legend of adventurers... Father spent a long time looking for those places."

"I've heard similar rumors in the east, but... no one has been there," Ann couldn't help but said to Harper, the mayor, who had been in contact with each other, "Uncle Harper, are you sure you didn't do it?" What's wrong?"

Kanol was a little confused about this fresh story.

"Dungeon, what is that?"

"Ah, the legend is that the lost ancient civilization of the last century was a shelter built to avoid the catastrophe," Rose, who loves reading, explained casually. technology, and a large number of extinct monsters and creatures... However, it has been more than a thousand years, and there is no really reliable record to prove that those places appeared-the records more than a thousand years ago are also full of legendary colors , Many people think...that is just an over-exaggerated lair of underground monsters living in groups."

"Master Luo Si...Your Excellency, do you think that really exists?"

Kanol looked at Rose curiously.

"I think it should exist," Rose shrugged. "After all, the Demon King's City is located on the Mercury ruins. At least the ancient civilization is real, so it's not surprising that the underground city is real."

"That's right, it's true," Old Harper nodded solemnly, and reiterated, "I'm not bragging, our adventure group really entered a dungeon...in the United Kingdom of South Sotua At that time, our adventure group took on an exploration mission to explore the new terrain changes of the border desert after the super-giant sandstorm caused by the explosion of the earth element..."

"I thought it would be an easy task. After all, after the elemental outbreak, the monsters will enter a dormant period, and because the rewards given by the other party are unexpectedly high, so the team leader took over this task."

"After all, after the team leader decides on this mission, he will hand over the adventure group to the deputy leader to go back to his hometown to marry his childhood sweetheart, so he is short of money, and the deputy leader also said that he wants to go back to his hometown to see his long-lost wife and son, and wants to earn some money. Gift money..."

Rose couldn't help complaining when she heard this: "Well, as long as you are the chief and deputy leaders of the adventure group, it will be difficult for this mission to go smoothly..."

"Your Majesty Rose is really predictable," Old Harper said with a thumbs up, "There was indeed an accident on our mission. Not long after we entered the depths of the border desert, a small elemental explosion unexpectedly broke out, like The aftermath is the same...but for us, it's scary enough!"

"In order to avoid this elemental outbreak, our adventure group was forced to separate, and the leader, deputy leader, and some other members of the group discovered a cave hidden under a sand dune in a small sandstorm!"

"Although it is strange that there are caves in the desert, we had no choice but to hide in them."

"And the cave that we thought was the monster's lair at first, actually has a downward ladder!"

83 Dungeon Adventure Past

"After seeing that strange ladder, we all felt a little weird, but... as 'adventurers', we were working hard for food and exchanging risks for wealth, so although everyone thinks there may be dangers in it, Still decided to go and explore!"

"In case, there are any treasures or rare potion materials, ores, etc. here, then it will be a big profit!"

"What's more, the downward ladder passage, whether it's the floor tiles or walls of the ladder, are all made of blue stones, revealing a very ancient atmosphere. There is a saying in the adventurer's house, 'Ancient is wealth, and secrets represent Gold coins', we all guessed, there may be some ancient civilization heritage in it-those things are very valuable."

"And when we walked down slowly, as the stairs gradually slowed down, there finally appeared a stone door that was in disrepair and collapsed... After the leader dug a passage, we walked in and appeared in front of us. It is a huge, palace-like dungeon!"

"The tall corridor is like a place for legendary giants to pass through. There are many tall but dead plants planted in bungalow-sized flower pots on both sides. The windows made of colored crystals and the stone gate are also damaged, not even A few walls have also collapsed, and other similar corridors and room interiors can be seen through the ruins—even though they are incomplete, they are still as beautiful as those churches in the Holy Lito Empire."

"We found some things that should belong to giants in those rooms, such as shield-like badges and spear-like pens, but when we searched... we accidentally alarmed the monsters living here, they It is obvious that the doves occupy the magpie's nest, because those guys are much shorter than us, with wrinkled skin, holding the simplest and roughest stone weapons, more primitive than the savage orcs among the orcs, roaring and attacking us!"

"Those guys are very powerful, and their numbers are huge. We fled in a hurry after fighting, and more and more strange monsters gathered along the way. There are four-winged and double-headed strange birds flying in the sky, like lizards and wolves. Small mixed-breed animals, and many humanoid monsters..."

"The most frightening thing is that we have an ethereal and grievous horror female voice in the depths, singing and reciting syllables with unknown meanings. None of us has seen her, but those monsters seem to have heard those female voices. Like a rabbit howling from a ferocious beast, running away or not daring to move in fear—the team leader speculates that many of the broken stone sculptures we encountered on the road may be caused by that guy!"

"Fortunately, she didn't seem to be coming towards us...but we didn't dare to continue running down."

"In the intricate and maze-like corridors, we finally found a passage that went straight up after detours for an unknown period of time. It was all of us who were on the verge of collapse, trying to escape upwards, and finally gave up. We escaped."

"When we got back to the ground, those monsters didn't catch up. We didn't know until we reunited with other companions that we stayed in that dungeon for a full ten days!"

"But we didn't feel hungry or sleepy at all!"

"After the team leader and deputy team leader sold the items collected in the dungeon, they distributed valuable gold coins to each brother. At the same time, everyone agreed to keep this matter a secret, and this matter ended like this. gone."

After the old Harper finished speaking, several people who listened engrossed all reacted.

"Uncle Harper, this is really a brand new story!"

Kanol simply praised.

But Isabella objected.

"You have agreed to keep it secret...is it okay to talk about it now?"
