Succubus should be self-improvement

Demons need to consume power to operate on the main plane.She was cursed to become a kitten before, and although her strength dropped significantly, it also greatly reduced this consumption, but now that she has returned to her original form, Camilla immediately felt the magic energy in her body burning like a candle, She calculated a little by herself, and found that after leaving the semi-abyss environment like the Twisted Thorn Forest, she could only move for more than an hour at most, and then she would be forced to roll back to the abyss due to exhaustion of strength.

After all, Kami stretched his waist, and was about to activate the advanced teleportation technique directly to find Titubas, when he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

She moved her nose, followed the smell, and suddenly couldn't walk.

It was a tavern, and the smell of barbecue wafted from it.

Since becoming a demon, she really hasn't eaten anything serious.

Camilla's saliva was almost drooling, and she felt that her legs seemed to be disobedient, and she walked straight into the tavern in a daze.Claudia said in surprise: "Camilla, what are you doing? You are going in the wrong direction!"

"That's right!"

Camilla's saliva was dripping from her mouth.She grabbed Claudia's clothes and pointed at the tavern: "That! That! I want to eat!"

Chapter 210

Camilla hadn't eaten any serious food since she was born, so she couldn't walk when she smelled the smell of meat, and her saliva was drooling.

Since she had no money on hand for the time being, she could only look at Lyudmila with bright eyes.

Ma'am, although I molested your daughter just now, I think you don't mind, right?

Lyudmila said helplessly, "Eat."

Camilla cheered and rushed forward.The interesting thing about the tavern is that its kitchen is assumed to be outside, completely open to the air. It looks a bit like the food stall that Camilla remembers. The food is only barbecued and marinated, but the business is booming. .

The chef is a tall half-elf uncle, with a professional feel of a chef on his chubby face, he handles all kinds of ingredients in an orderly manner, and there is a young female half-elf next to him helping him, and by the way, acting as a chef in the shop The waiter, I don't know if it is his daughter.

When Camilla walked over, she saw the half-elf uncle fish out a few prawns from the bucket.The size of this kind of shrimp is bigger than the palm of an adult. Instead of peeling the shell, he cuts the fresh shrimp from the belly and spreads it flat, and then grills it slowly on a charcoal grill, just like grilled eggplant. .

The shrimp meat is white and tender and firm, and the shrimp yellow is plump and creamy, and the oil is sizzling out under the high temperature, which makes Camilla's eyes straighten.

want to eat...

She turned to look at Lyudmila: "I want this!"

Lyudmila smiled helplessly, took a look at the menu, and couldn't help but let out a "huh".

The prices of various meals on the menu were crossed out in black handwriting, and a new price was written next to it—generally, the price was increased by [-]% to [-]%.

The half-elf town of Eggsas is close to Lake Enkatan, and most of the residents make a living by fishing, so the food in the town is mainly fish and shrimp.

In other places, if you want to eat a grilled fish that weighs more than a catty, you may have to spend one silver coin, which is about the same price as beef of equal weight, but it is half the price in Aegsas, and you can eat it with five or six copper coins. A grilled fish meal with apple juice—but now the price of such a meal on the menu has risen to seven copper coins.

The price of the grilled shrimp that Camilla liked has also increased from the original two coppers to two point three coppers.

Because it is a very good port, there is a lot of trade here in Aegersas, and the frequent merchants brought a lot of currency.In Eggsas, there are five common "standard currencies". Although these standard currencies are different, they are basically the same in value. They are all recognized by the priests of the Temple of Wealth, so they can be used universally.

But the standard currency actually has a problem, that is, the denomination is too large - the smallest denomination is the copper coin, but in fact the purchasing power of the copper coin is also very high, so in daily life, it is often encountered that a copper coin cannot be found.

Therefore, in addition to the standard currency, Eggsas will actually use some private coins with smaller denominations-this kind of money is usually made by small lords in other places digging copper mines themselves. Light, poor color, the price of a piece is generally between 0.3 and 0.5 standard copper coins.

When merchants collect money, they sometimes use a small scale to weigh the weight of this small copper plate to calculate the added value, so occasionally there will be quarrels between merchants and customers because of different determinations of prices. .

As a level 14 professional, Lyudmila has never been short of money.In her eyes, gold coins are basically the smallest unit of currency, but she is very sensitive to such price fluctuations.

After ordering, after a while, the grilled shrimp that Camilla had been thinking about was finally served on the table.

This kind of prawn is Enkatan tiger prawn, a specialty of Enkatan. The meat is plump and has a natural sweetness. Stir it in the water, and put it into your mouth wrapped in dripping and plump sauce. The taste is simply overwhelming.

The grilled shrimp sold in the tavern has two flavors. The other method is actually the same, that is, spread a layer of cheese on the spread shrimp meat. After melting, the golden cheese exudes a rich and mellow aroma. With a light scrape, the crispy shell formed on the surface of the cheese will make a crisp sound.With a little force, the knife and fork pierced the crispy shell with a click, stirring up the shrimp meat and shrimp yellow below, and the semi-melted ointment overflowed like a soft-boiled egg, and then it was sent into the mouth together with long strings of cheese.

The cheese itself is slightly salty, and it complements the umami taste of the shrimp meat, blending together perfectly like Tai Chi, making Camilla feel elated.

Lyudmila grabbed the half-elf girl who came to deliver food and asked, "Why did the price increase recently?"

The half-elf girl was a little embarrassed and said: "It just went up today... You also know that these ingredients are fresh, and the price is actually easy to fluctuate. Recently, for some reason, the water monster in the lake seems to be There are more people, just hurt someone a few days ago, and a fisherman disappeared yesterday, and there are fewer people fishing now."

With a sad face, she whispered: "If it is still like this, the price may have to continue to increase in the future."

Camilla raised her hand beside her: "I want two more shrimps! No, just give me five more!"

"Okay!" The half-elf girl took away the plates on the table, replaced them with a new one, and hurried to the kitchen.Lyudmila leaned her body back slightly, crossed her arms across her chest, showing a thoughtful expression.

"There are more monsters?"

This is not necessarily bad news for adventurers.

Claudia whispered: "Mother, can we accept a hiring task in the town to solve the problem of monsters in the town?"

There was a hint of eagerness in her expression.

Lyudmila smiled and said, "There isn't even a Pioneer Association in this small town. Where can I go to pick up the mission?"

"Then..." Claudia blinked and said, "Should we just do nothing? That would be too utilitarian..."

Lyudmila rested her chin on her hand, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Didn't you just learn to detect other worlds?"

Outer world detection is a divination spell that does not help combat effectiveness. The caster can use this spell to communicate with some great alien beings and seek advice and answers from those outer world beings.Since spells can only create a very narrow communication channel and cannot convey too much information, those alien existences generally only use short words such as "yes", "no", "maybe", "never", and "irrelevant". word reply.

Claudia was stunned for a moment, but did not respond: "What do you mean?"

Liudmila smiled and said, "Having mastered the five-ring spell, you can barely be regarded as a high-level spellcaster. Dia, you have to adapt to the behavior style of a high-level spellcaster."

She said: "Aigersas is just an ordinary town, and there are suddenly more monsters nearby. This town may not be the source. Where is the crux of the problem and how to solve it? Ordinary adventurers have to step by step Conduct an investigation, but since you have alien detection, wouldn't it be good to just cast a spell and ask for the answer? If we can do what we can, then it doesn't matter if we clean it up by the way."

Claudia hesitated and said, "It seems to be the same..."

Lyudmila followed the temptation: "Then do you want to give it a try?"

Camilla burped next to her: "Great! I'm full!"

She waved her hand: "Then I'll go first. If you have something to do later, remember to call me!"

She raised her hand to cast a spell, and with a whoosh, she disappeared out of thin air.The passers-by around witnessed this scene, and they all took it easy and expressed their composure.

In a high-magic world like Golarion, it's normal for a living person to suddenly disappear out of thin air, right?

Chapter 210 Changes in the Seventh Camp

Camilla appeared in mid-air, rubbed her slightly round belly, and then hiccupped comfortably.

Full, very full.I've never been this happy in my life.

Camilla stretched in mid-air.

There was a dark red current floating in the air, and the strong magic power of the abyss gently caressed her cheeks like a gentle wind.

Immediately afterwards, she looked down from mid-air, and the forest was like a poisonous flower bush, showing a magnificent iridescent color, and clusters of strangely shaped trees were entwined like poisonous snakes, with twisted and absurd shapes.

Camilla looked around and searched for a while before finally finding the exact location of the camp.

She flew over unhurriedly, and found from a long distance that the original simple camp had changed drastically. The trees around the camp had been cut down in a large circle, and there were low huts in the open space. The technique is quite rough, the houses are crooked, big and small, and the left and right are not symmetrical, but you can see a little bit of planning. On the lake in the distance, there is actually a group of jackals patrolling.

In the center of the camp, there is a statue piled up with a lot of stones and bones. It is more than three meters high. It looks very abstract and has a post-modern artistic style, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a humanoid with wings.Camilla couldn't help her eyebrows twitching wildly, thinking that this goddamn statue can't be mine...

There were also several high sentry towers built in the camp, and a few goblins stood on them and chattered. When they saw Camilla flying over, the goblins sounded the alarm in a hurry. He fell up and down several times, and fell to the ground with a bang, his two calves twitched, and he didn't know if he was dead.

There was chaos in the camp, a group of gnolls and goblins seemed to emerge from under the rocks, and they gathered together, holding crude bows and arrows and pitchforks, aiming at the sky as if facing a big enemy Camilla in.

Camilla was quite relieved.

"Wait a moment!"

A savage with a beard came out of a cabin and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, what should I do!"

All the monsters looked at him, and then at Camilla in the sky.

The savage waved his hand again and cursed: "You idiots, do you have a shorter memory than a goldfish? You don't even know your own master?"

All the monsters scattered like birds and beasts.

Camilla flew down from the sky, looked at the savage in bewilderment, and said with some uncertainty, "Arel?"

For a while, Ariel hardly looked like a graceful elf.He is unkempt and unshaven. At first glance, he looks like a De Ye who survived on a deserted island, but his eyes look like a homeless man, only occasionally a tiger-like light can be glimpsed.He glanced at Camilla listlessly, and bowed slightly as a salute.

Camilla flew around him: "How did you...become like this?"

"I'm doing some kind of philosophical speculation." Ariel said sadly: "I feel like life is meaningless, I'm too lazy to take care of it, that's it. I'm betting with my beard now, is it the peas planted in the ground Does the vine grow faster or does it grow faster—now it looks like it grows faster."

Camilla worried: "How long has this situation lasted?"

Ariel said seriously: "I'm not sick!"

He hesitated to speak but stopped: "I just...hey...I just want to be quiet..."

Camilla thought about it for a long time, but didn't know what to say, so she changed the subject and said, "At the beginning, you said that you couldn't be an instructor, but I think you did okay."

Ariel's expression moved slightly.

"These monsters are a little smarter than I thought, not so stupid..."

Alrel sighed with some annoyance, and said, "You may want to meet Titubas. During the day, she probably stays in the planting room."

Camilla said with interest: "The planting room?"

Ariel's expression was a little subtle: "The place used to grow mushrooms... is deep in that rift valley. Titubas found a dark and humid place..."

Before he finished speaking, Camilla excitedly flew towards the rift valley, and before she went deep, she saw Fargus, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.She greeted immediately: "Master!"

There seemed to be a shadow moving twice in the darkness.Fargus turned his head slowly—the fungus dragon has now grown a short neck, and can turn its head slightly on the ground—looking at Camilla, and sighed: "Hey, you scared it away."

Camilla asked in confusion, "It?"

"Shadow Demon." Fargus said: "That guy has been active in the dark before, and even tried to attack me several times, but now he has been influenced by me, and he often comes to listen to my lectures. I am planning to take him as a seat Big disciple."

The corner of Camilla's mouth twitched: "Then...well..."

Fargus smiled again: "But it's okay. It will come tomorrow, and I will continue to chat with it then. But you, why did you leave the abyss suddenly?"

Camilla's head suddenly appeared in the Vega Demon, and she couldn't help but twitch her eyes slightly: "Temporarily avoid the limelight..."

She wanted to ask where Titubas was, but she suddenly thought of the decadent Ariel, and couldn't help asking: "Master, have you ever enlightened Ariel? I feel that he is in good spirits." It's in a bad state."

"Are you talking about that elf?" Fargus said with a smile: "He's different...he actually understands what I'm going to say, clearly. In my opinion, he just needs a little time Come and get up the courage, you just don’t want to face reality. You don’t have to rush him, just take your time.”

"Alright." Camilla nodded, and asked again, "Where's Titubas?"

"Here." Fargus shook his head and pointed in one direction: "I'm growing mushrooms. She's been obsessed with this recently, and I guess she's finally found something she likes."

Camilla then followed the direction indicated by it and walked towards the depths of the dark rift.Slowly, the surrounding scenery began to change, and clusters of glowing mushrooms spread out from the depths of the darkness like galaxies, dotted among the bare rocks.

Camilla was speechless for a moment, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked a bunch of glowing hyphae beside her.

The hyphae are like some kind of algae, hanging upside down from the wet zenith, in strands, like tiny fluff.When Camilla touched her finger, it immediately triggered a certain stress response, and the fine mycelium squirmed slightly like the tentacles of the water curtain. Immediately afterwards, Camilla saw a band of light——

All the fungi here were originally connected together.Their root systems are intertwined and pass through the cracks in the rocks, forming a huge biological network. A stream of light originates from the place where Camilla's finger touches, and then spreads suddenly along the network, stimulating From heavy to heavy color changes.

Star-like blue, firefly-like red, jewel-like purple... ring after ring of color changes, like a gorgeous galaxy flowing in the dark.

Camilla was shocked, and slowly walked deeper.The various mushrooms next to it became bigger and bigger, and a big mushroom at the foot suddenly pulled itself up from the ground. It turned out to be a villain with a mushroom on its head. They are arranged in a row, showing a huge mouth full of big teeth on the body surface, but the movements are shy, and they hide behind a stone farther away, then stick out half of their heads, and carefully look at Cammy pull.

That's the fungus Lacey, nature's industrious decomposer.

There are more and more fungal Lacey around, and from a distance, there seems to be the sound of an underground river.Camilla saw a figure, bent over, and was carefully sowing mycelia on a layer of humus substrate soil. A group of fungi around Lacey formed a circle curiously, watching her actions.

"Titubas?" Camilla called out.The fungus Laceys around were startled and ran around. A chubby fungus Lacey was at a loss. He was hit by his companion, rolled around on the ground, and then simply burrowed into the ground. inside, but the mushroom-like cap on the top of the head is still exposed.

"Huh? Master?" Titubas turned around in surprise, and the ears of the two furry foxes trembled.

Chapter 210: Next time I say anything, I have to learn a death barrier

Camilla walked towards Titubas with a smile, and rubbed the hair on her head: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become a gardener?"

Titubas seemed a little nervous: "Master, I...I haven't forgotten other tasks..."

"Okay, okay." Camilla rubbed her big furry ears: "I don't mean to blame you for fishing, just relax."

Titubas' ears trembled twice.I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, every time Camilla puts her palm above the tip of her ear, Titubas's ear will shake slightly, pull it out of her palm, and then cover it under her hand. Above, it feels very similar to the "law of cat's paws on top".Camilla played vigorously, and simply pinched her fox ears, and Titubas shrank back, as if she was very embarrassed.

Camilla laughed and said, "Fargus said that you often come here to grow mushrooms recently, how do you feel?"

Titubas flicked his tail from side to side nervously: "I can't speak...but...every time I come here, I feel very peaceful. I don't have to think about anything, and my heart seems to be quietly Like a sigh of relief."

"That's good." Camilla nodded and said, "Speaking of which, how is the situation in our camp?"

She looked at the surrounding mushroom fields: "It seems that the mushrooms are not bad."

"Master Fargus helped a lot." Titubas said: "Master taught the technique of growing fungus Lacey. With these Lacey, all kinds of mushrooms can grow well without much cooking , The food problem in the camp has basically been solved. What you see now is only a small part, in fact, the scale of our mushroom cultivation is far larger than here...."

She straightened her waist a little, and said: "We also dug a special humus pit here, and the feces and food residues in the camp are usually sent there, and the fungus Lacey will transform them For excellent fertilizer."
