The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

Trying to cook with new ingredients is what a chef likes to do the most~

Xia Yu, who had changed back into his regular clothes, followed the servant's guidance to the small courtyard. The satisfied look on everyone's face made Xia Yu feel proud.Obviously, today's cooking trial was quite successful.

"Hey, it's Xia Yu!" Sharp-eyed Paimeng was the first to spot Xia Yu's figure entering the small courtyard. The little guy's shout instantly made everyone's eyes focus on Xia Yu.

"Little friend Xia, thank you for inviting us here. Today's dishes are truly unforgettable." The three immortals Liu Yun Jiefeng Zhenjun who came to Xia Yu looked extremely satisfied. "There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Now that everything in Liyue Port is over, we will leave first."

"If you have time to visit Jueyunjian in the future, we will welcome you at any time." The three immortals who set foot on Xiangyun left the small courtyard first.

"Then I'm leaving too. The reconstruction of Qunyu Pavilion still requires a lot of preparatory work. The current Liyue Port also requires me to re-examine the past laws." Ning Guang stood up and looked at Xia Yu with eyes full of appreciation. . "I wonder if Mr. Xia will be willing to find a job in Qunyu Pavilion after the reconstruction is completed?"

The invitation from Ningguang was somewhat beyond Xia Yu's expectation. On a normal day, the invitation from Ningguang, who owns the huge assets of Qunyu Pavilion, is indeed a good result. After all, Xia Yu has seen that person in Qunyu Pavilion. The craftsmanship of four chefs.

You can communicate freely and freely, and as long as you can cook excellent dishes, there are no restrictions on the purchase of ingredients.It really is a great working environment for a chef.

"Thank you Miss Ningguang for the invitation. However, I still have many friends in Mondstadt, and my own situation also restricts me from staying in one area for a long time. I'm really sorry." She declined Ningguang's invitation politely. Finally, Xia Yu, who was holding his hands and clasping his fists, said goodbye to Ning Guang, who had a hint of regret on his face, and then watched the other party leave the small courtyard.

As everyone gradually left, only Xia Yu, Ruotuo Dragon King and Ke Qing as the host were left in the originally bustling courtyard.Seeing Xia Yu and Dragon King Ruotuo looking at each other as if they were planning to leave, Ke Qing asked Xia Yu first, "Mr. Xia Yu, have you found a place to stay in Liyue Port after leaving Qunyu Pavilion?"

"Yes, I am staying in an inn in Liyue Port. I wonder if Miss Keqing is...?" Although he didn't know what the other party was thinking, Xia Yu answered truthfully.

"How about staying in the guest room of my mansion for the time being? It must be inconvenient for you and your relic hunter to move together in Liyue Port. Besides, after experiencing so many things together, we can be considered friends, right? I'll just do it with Ke Qing." Xia Yu was a little surprised by the invitation from Ke Qing, and then, Xia Yu lowered his head slightly and began to think carefully.

Indeed, just like the ancient rock dragon lizard transformed by Ruotuo Dragon King, bringing such a large relic hunter is indeed a bit conspicuous in Liyue Port.It is even more difficult to bring it into an ordinary inn. Regardless of the pressure it causes on other guests, it is a troublesome thing to bring it into the room just because it is more than six meters in size.

In this case, the relic hunter can only be placed in a small courtyard or a warehouse with an open door. Rather than having to explain too much to the store, it is indeed a good choice to change the residence and move here. At least it will be much more convenient to move by yourself. .

For now, there are three main goals left for him to stay in Liyue Port. One is to taste the delicacies of Liyue Port and meet with the executive son of the fools, that is, Dadalia is inexplicably a relic hunter. After the relationship was reconciled, it was much more convenient to go to Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Xuan, which originally required reservations.The difficulty of the goal of eating all of Liyue has indeed been reduced a lot.

Secondly, derived from this, he promised Master Mao to let him experience his cooking. Now that Liyue Port has settled down, he has time to go to Wanmin Hall.

The second is the agreement with Dadalia. Tomorrow, I need to take time to search for the ruin guard with Dadalia and try to turn it into a ruin hunter beside me, a type that can understand commands. , this commission shouldn’t take too long.

Finally, there is the impact of this unknown rune. According to Wendy, possessing this mysterious rune, he needs to travel throughout the entire continent of Teyvat little by little, and this rune will also travel in the underworld. The underworld guides the progress of many events.

For example, this series of experiences after coming to Liyue: erasing the 'wear and tear' law on Ruotuo Dragon King and obtaining a powerful bodyguard; because Ruotuo Dragon King's freedom was originally sealed by the Rock King's Rock Spear Under Guyun's Excellency, the demon god Osel was also completely killed by Liyue Port.These should be the chain reactions caused by him coming to Liyue.

Calculating the overall time, I should stay in the Liyue area for one to two weeks. "Thank you Keqing for your request. If so, please forgive me for disturbing you at home for a while." After agreeing to Keqing's invitation, the problems of accommodation and placement of the ruin hunters were finally solved.With more time to spare, Xia Yu's attention turned to the other protagonist of this incident - Zhongli.

Zhongli did not appear in this food tasting meeting, which meant that the fact that Zhongli was the Emperor of the Rock King had not yet been discovered by Liyue Qixing.Maybe Zhongli is still being imprisoned in the prison managed by Qianyan Army...

You know, in a country where everyone is controlled by Emperor Yanwang, murdering Emperor Yanwang is a serious crime.Although there was no direct evidence in Qixing's hands that it was the Emperor Yan who was 'killed' by Zhongli, it was clearly seen by Ke Qing that Zhongli personally handed the Heart of the Rock God to the lady.

The Fashe who desecrated the emperor and handed over the items from the emperor's remains to foreigners was such a serious crime that even if he did not die, he would still have to shed his skin.For Emperor Yanwang, he was probably not expecting that he was caught by his own subordinates in Liyue Port when his consideration was at the last step.

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely embarrassing to reveal one's identity. Regardless of whether Liyue Qixing would believe it, if the founder of the 'contract' took the lead in tearing up the contract, if the Liyue people knew about it, who knows? Will the image created over the past 3000 years collapse?

"Keqing, may I ask how you plan to handle Mr. Zhongli's follow-up matters?" Xia Yu asked Keqing and found that for some reason, the other party's eyes frequently glanced at Ruotuo Dragon King on the side.

"Humph!" Keqing snorted coldly and looked very dissatisfied. "Originally, we planned to exile him to the area around the Strata Rock Abyss to mine ore to atone for his sins. However, Dragon King Ruotuo defended him, saying that he wanted to use Mr. Zhongli's hands to find out the security risks hidden in Liyue Port. That’s why he used the relics of the Rock King as bait.”

"Also, Zhong Li is the only one who is more reliable in the Hall of Rebirth, so if he is also invited to leave Liyue Port, I'm afraid that everyone in Liyue Port will be troubled when handling white matters, so we will consider it together After that, everyone agreed to lower the sentence for Zhongli."

When talking about this, Keqing seemed to think of the lady who escaped from under his nose again. Keqing clenched her fists in anger and continued in a vicious tone: "One day I will kill the woman who ran away." The Fool was caught by the executive officers! As for Zhongli, because of his incompetence in doing things, we decided to lock him up for at least a few days, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people."

"Of course, the ritual of sending immortals is a big deal. I will send my Qianyan Army to urge him to complete the ritual of sending immortals first, and then put him in prison to reflect on it. He dared to agree to it without being completely sure. The relics of the Rock King are used as bait!”

puff!The dramatic result made Xia Yu unable to help but laugh out loud.Looking at Tuoro Dragon King aside, Kunjun looked helpless as he listened to Ke Qing's explanation of the entire matter.Ajiu's condition was similar to his own. The little blue-haired guy holding his stomach was laughing until he was slightly breathless.

"Huh? Xia Yu, what are you laughing at?" Xia Yu made a sound, but the change in his face could not escape Ke Qing's eyes. The purple-haired girl who turned to look at Xia Yu had a look of doubt in her eyes. "Don't you think this is a very serious matter?"

"Ah...I'm sorry, I just thought of Mr. Zhongli's usual serious expression being locked up in a prison, and I couldn't hold it back for a moment...Pfft!" He found a reason to explain to Keqing. Xia Yu still couldn't hold back the bad taste that burst out in his heart and laughed again.

I just don’t know what Emperor Yan Wang is feeling right now?

————————————————————————

"What? You said Zhongli is in jail?"

The next morning, Dadalia, who heard the result of Zhongli from Xia Yu, widened her eyes with extremely complicated expressions on her face.

Due to the agreement with Xia Yu, Dadalia woke up early in the morning, ate breakfast in a hurry and came to the Northland Bank.After Xia Yu arrived who also arrived early, the conversation between the two naturally turned to the follow-up to the series of incidents in Liyue Port.

As one of the insiders who knew the truth that Zhongli was Morax, Dadalia, who originally thought that she was the only one injured, was stunned when she learned about Zhongli's subsequent situation. After a while, her emotions Dadalia, who seemed to be much more relaxed, couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, even if it's only for a few days, I'm afraid Zhongli has never considered that he would encounter such a thing." Dadalia, who was laughing, couldn't help but patted his thigh, as if he had been wronged in the past few days. Finally found an outlet.

"Hiss... I'm sorry, because I really can't help it, I'm a little excited." After signaling Xia Yu to sit down on the leather chair nearby, Dadalia took out a map from the shelf and unfolded it. , and then said to Xia Yu: "According to my investigation, the Liyue area has a long history of walking with the gods, so there are countless relics left by ancient buildings in Liyue."

"The self-regulatory agencies of the Ruin Guard series have a common characteristic, that is, they have an inexplicable attachment to these ruins. Although we have not yet figured out the reason for this..." Dadali said here Ya used a pen to circle the locations of several ruins on the map.

"According to the investigation of the advance team, there are at least one or two ruins guards wandering in these ruins. Because my injury has not fully recovered, I will take a small group of the Fools advance army with us. ..." When talking about this, Dadalia's expression seemed a little subtle.

"Because preparing a gift for my brother Tok is a private matter of mine, so please keep this secret for me while we are on the road. If these recruits ask about the reason for capturing the ruin guard, just leave it to me to explain."

Chapter 94 Foolish Musketeers: He is a pangolin! Can’t trust him!

"My lord, isn't the research on the ruins self-discipline organization conducted by the doctor? We do this, and the doctor..."

The team looking for the ruins guards finally started heading northwest of Liyue Port. In addition to Dadalia, there were two slender members of the Fools' advance team with brown and black costumes and relics pinned behind them. The shiny muskets made the two members of the advance team look majestic.

In terms of courage, the shuddering look of the two people who were hesitating whether to cross the line made Dadalia look back with an unhappy expression.

"So what? Didn't that fellow madam just plunder all my achievements?" Dadalia's tone became stern, causing the two Fools advance team to stop talking immediately.Although they were slightly injured, the two members of the advance team still felt frightened by the name of the Executive Officer of the Fools and the sense of oppression spreading from Dadalia.

"And the doctor guy gave up not long after studying the self-regulatory mechanism, leaving a lot of mess behind and left Liyue. Maybe I will have to help him finish it. Otherwise, if the problem breaks out Liyue discovered the problem and found traces left by the Winter Winter Kingdom, will you pay the compensation?"

Dadalia vented his resentment, causing the legs of the two members of the advance team of Fools to tremble involuntarily. Under Dadalia's gaze, the two of them felt like little kids being targeted by falcons. Chicken, as long as the other party is willing, I can only let others round and flatten it at will.

"How... how come, how dare we question you, Your Majesty?" "Yes, yes! Your Majesty is wise! Such behavior that wastes the financial resources and prestige of the Queen of Winter Kingdom must be punished!" Giving in to the Young Master's emanation The huge sense of oppression made the two of them laugh but couldn't express the pain in their hearts.

Why is it that the musketeers on duty today are from my group? Why, sir, did he only assign musketeers!Just because the Ruin Guard's weakness is the core of the eyes, are the two of them the most suitable as musketeers?

There is also the resentment that the young master is releasing now. It is obvious that he has not let go of the hatred that the lady has taken away from him. If he goes to stimulate him at this time, he will undoubtedly directly detonate the explosive barrel.You may not know what kind of training tasks you will be assigned when you return from this busy trip...

I have to think of a way to make the young master happy!The eyes of the two advance team members of the Fools, whose minds were working rapidly, focused on Xia Yu.

This person is so tall, and I always feel like I've seen him there before... Wait, isn't this the person who often appears with the senior officials of Liyue Qixing?Although both wore masks that covered their eyes, the two musketeers could completely understand each other's thoughts and guessed each other's thoughts just by meeting each other.

There is something wrong with this man!He must have used some treacherous method to blind the young master's eyes!If Lord Young Master takes him to the Fools' secret research base in Liyue, wouldn't that be tantamount to directly exposing the base to the noses of the Seven Stars in Liyue?

But...he was personally invited by the Young Master. If he directly questioned it, he would probably have to run around Liyue Port for more than ten times as a 'physical exercise' after returning from the mission today. He would have to think of a way to remind the Young Master that he is a talented person. OK...

"My lord, I wonder who this friend you invited is?"

kindness?Unexpectedly, the topic would shift to himself. Xia Yu, who felt a little strange, suddenly remembered that since Dadalia invited him, after the two musketeers from the advance team of Fools joined the team, he did not. He introduced himself to the two of them.

"Hello, I'm Xia Yu. I'm a chef by profession. If you have the opportunity to come to Mondstadt in the future, please come to my shop to taste some of the food. You will definitely be satisfied." Xia Yu, who introduced himself with a smile, asked the two The Musketeers were even more confused.

Why is Mondstadt involved again?And he openly introduced himself as a cook?Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could the chef of Mondstadt's shop be related to Liyue's Qixing?Unless...no way, could it be that you want to attack yourself and others?The two of them felt a chill running down their spines as they thought about Xia Yu's experience.

There is nothing wrong with the young master hiring a cook to take care of today’s lunch, but he needs to be carefully screened!What if the other party poisons the food, then everyone exposes their corpses in the wilderness and becomes the monster's meal, wouldn't it mean that there is no proof?

As soon as this man returns to Mondstadt, Winter Country will not be able to find him even if he searches the entire Liyue Port.

"He, he is the key figure in this operation. Everyone must protect his safety." The answer from Dadalia convinced the two people who nodded and communicated in secret.

Be careful with your next actions!

After three hours of walking, the four people set out from Liyue Port to a camp south of Dun Yuling and rested. There was no need for any clocks. The scorching sun in front of them was the best clock to remind people - it was Time to prepare lunch.The simple thing is that Dadalia seemed to have been prepared for this. Although he was slightly injured, he was still very capable in fighting and easily shot a young wild boar with his bow.

"You two go to the river over there and take care of this wild boar. This will be our lunch at noon." After arranging tasks for the two Fool Musketeers who were traveling with him, Dadalia looked at Xia Yu with a look that Somewhat embarrassing.

"I'm really sorry, because I want to reduce the risk factor as much as possible, so compared to the moving ruins guards in the wild ruins, I think it should be safer to go to the research institute of the self-discipline organization established by the Fools in Liyue. "

After explaining to Xia Yu, Dadalia took out a map and pointed to the area marked as a small ruins near Lingju Pass. Dadalia continued: "This is it. If the itinerary continues as usual, If things go smoothly like this in the morning, it will probably take us another two hours to reach our destination."

"No problem, as long as we can return to Liyue Port at night." Xia Yu, who nodded in agreement, did not continue to ask too much. Counting the time he spent in the research institute, it was almost exactly one day. He was very optimistic about his plans for tomorrow. The trip is not too delayed.

It just so happens that I have never gone sightseeing in the direction of Lingju Pass. The more I can appreciate the unique incompleteness and historical beauty of the ruins, the better.

"Ah, it's great that you understand, Mr. Xia Yu. Let's talk about reward next." The young master, who had never expected Xia Yu to be so easy to talk to, took out a bag with the mark of the Solstice Kingdom and handed it to Xia Yu's hand.

"What's inside is all the mora currency with the largest denomination, a total of 300 million mora. If you want to split it into equivalent standard mora currency, you can visit the diplomatic offices established by the Solstice Kingdom in various countries and the Northland Bank. My personal savings are used to purchase a ruin guard...I wonder if Mr. Xia Yu is satisfied with the price?"

300 million moras are used to purchase an adjusted ruin guard. Most of the time you need to pay is just to touch the ruin guard. No matter how you think about it, this kind of business is a sure profit.Thinking that the other party went to such trouble to find a ruin guard for his younger brother, Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh: "You really love your younger brother..."

"Of course, after all, he is my Dadalia's family." Dadalia looked extremely proud when he mentioned his family. It seemed that the softest part of his heart was touched by this incident. He raised his head and looked at the sky. There was a bit of tenderness in Dadalia's eyes.

"Everyone grows up as a child. As time goes by, those dreams of childhood will always be shattered by reality one by one. Therefore, I want to try my best to protect the dreams of my younger brothers and sisters when they are still young, even if In the future, everyone will be forced to recognize and accept the reality. Even if everyone will serve the Ice Queen in the future, when we recall our childhood in our spare time, we will always have a good memory, right?"

"After the matters here are settled, I should be able to go to Winter Solstice Country to meet with my family."

————————————————————————

Compared with the relaxed and happy atmosphere between Dadalia and Xia Yu, who talked about the past and dreams in casual chat, the nerves of the two Musketeers of Fools who were arranged by Dadalia to deal with the young wild boar were extremely tense. .

Skinning, bleeding, removing internal organs and decomposing them, they easily completed the work of decomposing the little wild boar after undergoing various trainings in the cold winter country. However, when considering the next situation, the two of them felt a little guilty. Difficulty.

"Tell me, if the spy chef in Liyue wants to poison him, isn't this lunch time his best chance?"

"That's right, so we must keep an eye on him for a while. The young master is the youngest future star of the Fools' Executives. How could we let this despicable villain who deceived the young master succeed in his conspiracy?"

The two musketeers, filled with indignation, quickly reached a consensus:

Although this despicable man has won the trust of the young master, as long as he is strictly guarded and allowed to taste the food first, he will probably not cause any trouble.The most important thing is that the actions of the two of them

"But nonsense, do you feel strange?"

After loading several pots of water, the Fool Musketeers who were responsible for taking care of the wild boar cleaned the wild boar in the river without leaving any trace of blood.Looking at the fruits of his labor, the Fool Musketeer nodded with great satisfaction.

That's right. As long as you wash the meat clean enough, the traces left by the other party's poison on the wild boar will become more and more obvious.I will use my actions to prove to this despicable villain how powerful the outstanding advance army of fools is!

Back at the camp, beside the already lit bonfire, Dadalia, who was happily chatting with Xia Yu, made the two musketeers feel heartbroken. "Sir, we have finished pre-processing the food." After bowing to Dadalia, the two of them placed the cleaned wild boar meat on the wooden frame that was set up in front of Xia Yu.

Surprisingly, the preprocessing can be done so well!The wild boar meat handed over by the two Fool Musketeers surprised Xia Yu: there was no trace of blood on the surface of the cut pork, and the bristles on the skin had also been scraped clean.

"Thank you for your hard work, both of you." Xia Yu, who took the pork, began to make calculations. He just heard Dadalia mention that due to the cold climate brought about by the geographical location, most of the people in the Solstice Country eat mostly Mainly with sweet taste.

In this case, let’s make grilled wild boar meat that mimics the taste of sweet flower stuffed chicken.Thinking of this, Xia Yu was filled with energy as he took out the kitchen knife and condiments from the package he carried with him.

Since we still have to travel and the time it takes to get back to Liyue Port, baking the whole piece is a bit of a waste of time.After hanging the divided wild boar meat on the stand with a thick rope, Xia Yu, who skillfully used a kitchen knife, easily cut the pork into small pieces that were convenient for grilling on wooden skewers.Xia Yu, who was about to put the pork on wooden skewers, attracted the attention of the two musketeers who were watching Xia Yu's creation.

coming!The first opportunity to poison!

Judging from the way this man prepared the meal, he probably wanted to put the pork on wooden skewers and hang it around an open fire for roasting.

Therefore, as long as you gently shake your nails while threading the wooden skewer, the powdery poison hidden in the nail gaps will be sprinkled on the surface of the pork. Such a subtle movement is extremely difficult. discovered.And he only needs to make a mark on the wooden stick in his own unique way that is difficult for outsiders to distinguish. He can be [-]% sure that he will not taste the food that has been smeared with poison.

Of course, it is actually very easy to find a solution to this problem without disturbing the young master. You only need to join in the process of threading the meat, and taste the wild boar skewers you have threaded at the end. That's it.

"Mr. Xia Yu." The two Fool Musketeers who came to Xia Yu made Xia Yu raise his head.

"We have also learned some outdoor cooking. In order to save time, I wonder if the two of us can help you prepare the food together?" The words of the two Fool Musketeers made Xia Yu show an expression of surprise. Now he was worried about the time issue. It's solved.

"Of course it's no problem. In that case, let me prepare the pickling seasoning first." Looking at the two Fool Musketeers' skillful techniques of skewering pork, Xia Yu boldly handed over the process to the two of them and took out the food. A small basin.

The nectar of the sweet flower, the salt needed for the basic flavor, plus some cracked black pepper and spices to remove the fishy smell... Xia Yu, who carefully matched the barbecue marinade, revealed the two Musketeers of Fools wearing roast pork. A proud expression.

The barbecue seasoning must be applied to all the meat skewers, which means that the other party does not dare to do this step of the process.As long as you are careful enough next time, the two of you will be able to protect the young master secretly!

A mere cook and spy sent by Liyue Qixing is of no importance in front of the serious fools!

Chapter 95 Fools and Soldiers: Sir, this wave is in the atmosphere!

Apply a layer of salt and black pepper to the meat skewers handed over by the members of the Fools' advance team to soak in the flavor. In order to save time, Xia Yu gently patted the surface of the meat to help the flavor penetrate into the meat skewers. Xia Yu made the two Fools excited. The gunman was once again on alert.

This behavior seems to be to flavor the pork, but during the beating process, who knows if he will suddenly add some strange powder... But if he does it now, won't he eat the poison himself?

Could it be said that this is just like the brothers in the advance team of fools who fought desperately to open the evil eye, they are themselves a death squad, sacrificing one person in exchange for victory in the entire battle?Or does he have a hidden antidote?No matter what, you must keep an eye on the cook next. No matter what he eats, you must also get a portion from your side.

The mission and responsibility of secretly guarding the young master is a long way to go...

With constant and gentle tapping, all the salt particles attached to the surface of the wild boar meat are integrated into the meat, and the tiny black peppercorns mixed with the meat fibers are also fully releasing their own flavor. Preparation work Almost ready to get on the grill.After being fully wrapped in the sweet flower honey sauce, Xia Yu stuck the skewers at a suitable position away from the fire.

Pork skewers cut into small pieces can be grilled in less than 5 minutes. Cutting off the front and rear legs and ribs takes a little longer. Xia Yu, who was focusing on the maturity of the skewers, suddenly discovered that the two musketeers His eyes were all focused on himself for some reason. "Excuse me, are there any taboo seasonings that need to be added?" Xia Yu asked the two of them and felt a little confused.

"Ah...no, it's nothing, just these kebabs..."

"Yes, yes, it's a matter of maturity!"

The tone of the two people was mixed with a bit of panic, which made Xia Yu realize, how could he forget such an important issue!

I just discovered when cutting pork that the meat quality of small wild boars grown to a certain extent in a pure natural environment is excellent. It can be used to cut high-quality meat just right or to keep one or two quarters raw to retain the juice. .The customer's taste is the most important thing, not to mention that these two people were personally found by Dadalia.

It must be because his immediate boss is sitting nearby. Dadalia didn't mention how well the barbecue was cooked. As subordinates, it must be difficult for them to make their own requests...

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake." Xia Yu smiled with a hint of apology on his face. Looking at the two people who still looked nervous, Xia Yu continued: "I don't know how much you want your barbecue to be. Cooked?"

"Well done! Of course this one is well done!" After quickly stating their needs, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief after avoiding suspicion for the time being.

What a risk, he was almost discovered... The two musketeers, who thought they could finally calm down for a while, imitated Dadalia beside them and sat on the stone.However, before five seconds passed, something unexpected happened again.
