Chapter 227 Brotherly Love (Part 2)
"There are actually two black lotuses here?"
Tucker, who had just separated from Thales, made a new discovery. He stood beside a bush, looking delighted.
"Rilei seems to have said that the rhizome of the black lotus is relatively fragile. You need to pay attention when pulling it out, and you need to loosen the surrounding soil first..." Tucker carefully dug the surrounding soil while muttering.
Halfway through the digging, the soil was already quite loose. Tucker judged from experience that it should be fine to pull it out at this time!
However, when he pulled it up with a little force, most of the black lotus followed his palm and left the soil.
But there is a small half of a finger-thick rhizome left in the soil.
"Oh, no..." Tucker shook his head regretfully, "This black lotus plant is too fragile. If the roots are broken, the taste will be worse."
As a food lover and a standard foodie, although his father did not require the black lotus to be intact, Tucker himself was not very satisfied.
He recalled the process just now, and decided to be more careful next time!
Immediately, he looked at another black lotus plant two meters away, walked over, and carefully dug up the soil again.
This time, no matter how thin and soft the soil was, he didn't plan to pull it out directly.
A moment later, when the last layer of soil was removed and the black lotus plant was held intact in the palm of his hand, Tucker grinned.
"Looks like I was lucky, and I met two black lotus plants all of a sudden, growing together!" Tucker thought contentedly, stood up and walked away—time was running out, he had to find the remaining black lotus plants quickly, Complete the tasks his father gave him.
Then, Tucker found the target again after walking only one kilometer.
He confirmed in his heart that Goddess of Luck definitely favored him!
Striding forward, Tucker repeated the operation just now, and successfully harvested the fourth black lotus plant. The inner motivation was more full, and then he ran elsewhere again, shuttled through the forest.
Golden leaves and direct sunlight shine through the dead branches and vines, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
Taker, who was running, had a broad vision, and accidentally found a faint footprint on the ground, which was very abrupt in the forest, a bit like a mistake in the cover-up process.
Taker’s footsteps stopped, and he leaned forward to watch carefully, staring at the dent with a familiar size, and suddenly let out a light sigh:
"Isn't this the footprint of Thales? Why did it appear here?"
Taker looked thoughtful, looked left and right, and then continued to observe, and found that the surrounding dust also had traces of cover, frowned and said:
"Thales seems to have deliberately covered up the footprints? Why did he do this?"
Suddenly.
A gust of wind blew by, the bushes in front of me swayed slightly, and a shadow of darkness flickered in front of my eyes.
Taker's expression changed, "Huh? Black lotus grass!"
His eyesight is excellent, just now the clump of leaves swayed, and a black lotus plant mixed in the dense bushes was easily caught by him.
A look of joy flashed in Tucker's eyes.
Then, it was replaced by a touch of suspicion.
Taker looked at the footprints next to him, and frowned slightly, feeling that something was a little strange.
He continued to observe carefully around, but after a few minutes, no abnormalities were found.
"Did I think too much?" Tucker muttered, shook his head, put away the black lotus, and continued to move forward.
Under the soft light, Tucker shuttled through the forest and found four more black lotus plants one after another. The whole process went smoothly.
But the smoother it was, the more doubts he had in his heart: "Is my luck really that good?"
Before completing the task, there was only one plant left. With a heavy heart, Tucker continued to search in the forest.
ten minutes later.
Beside the root of a gray and white tree, Tucker stared blankly at the black lotus in front of him. He didn't expect to find it so easily!
Compared with the beginning, the difficulty has dropped drastically!
If nothing abnormal was found along the way, Tucker's thick nerve lines might think that it was purely his luck, and he wouldn't think about it at all.
But because of the traces of Thales' footprints discovered not long ago, Tucker has always had doubts in his heart, which made him subconsciously observe the strange places nearby.
Until a few minutes later, when the black lotus was taken out of the soil, Tucker didn't find anything special.
"Well, it seems that I really thought too much. Although the footprint is very fresh, it may also be Thales wandering around when I went out to kill monsters. I will go back and ask him later."
Tucker shook his head and said to himself, patted the dirt on his hands, and prepared to turn back.
Suddenly, subtle traces flashed in the air.
Taker's eyes froze suddenly, staring at the land next to the black lotus grass motionless.
He widened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and squeezed the 'air'.
Then, Tucker maintained a 'handling' posture, and put his hand in front of his eyes, only to see an extremely slender hair, light and windless.
Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly - this is a slightly curly hair, and Taylor also has this hairstyle.
He recalled the length of Taylor's hairstyle in his mind, and compared it with the hair in front of him, it was completely coincident!
For a moment, Tucker froze in place. Although he was usually careless, such obvious clues connected together, and he vaguely guessed the truth in his heart—the black lotus was planted artificially.
Taker had a look of surprise on his face.
"No wonder, finding black lotus grass has suddenly become so easy..."
He glanced at the slender hair again, an inexplicable color flashed in his eyes, he shook his head and laughed: "Oh, Thales..."
Leite, Rilai, and Thales, the three of them have already processed the ingredients of the flaming rhinoceros and the bloodhoof wild boar—pieces of fresh and tender steaks, which were put on the grill.
Rilei put the last piece of meat on the table, clapped his hands, and said with a smile:
"Everything is ready! Now we only need to gather people and get started!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at the open woodland in front of him, with suspicion in his eyes: "Huh? Tucker has been gone for three hours, why hasn't he come back yet?
Even if the black lotus grass grows more scattered and is not easy to live in groups, it shouldn't waste so much time..."
At this moment, Rhett stared straight ahead, then glanced at Thales, and found that the latter was a little absent-minded, and his eyes were wandering.
Tales lowered his head, secretly slandering: "No way, I should have hidden it quite clearly, wouldn't Tucker still not be able to find those black lotuses?"
That's right, Thales did take advantage of Tucker's departure to help him deal with the monsters not long ago, carefully selected a few places, and secretly hid the black lotus.
In order to avoid being seen by Tucker as deliberate, the places he picked were not particularly obvious.
But it has been so long now, and Tucker has not come back. Thales can't help wondering, is he hiding too deep?
"Hey, it should be simpler, don't overestimate Tucker's mind..."
"Tuck, are you hurt?"
Thales, who was thinking wildly, suddenly heard his father sitting opposite him speak.
He blinked, turned his head suddenly after realizing the reaction, and saw Tucker walking slowly from behind, holding a handful of black lotus in his hand.
Finally back... Thales smiled unconsciously from the corners of his eyes.
But...with Tucker's carelessness, he shouldn't notice..."
"Ah, I got a little injury. I met a Tier 2 Ice Crystal Tiger and got scratched by those sharp claws." Tucker rubbed the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Then he raised his right hand, grabbed a handful of black lotus plants, and said quite complacently: "Father, I have fulfilled my mission. I finally found these ten black lotus plants."
Rett glanced at Tucker lightly: "This is a punishment, not a mission.
But…you're doing fine. "
Tucker sat down carelessly, and pushed Thales away again.
Tales frowned this time, but didn't say anything, and smiled secretly in his heart, "Idiot, it seems that I didn't find out that the black lotus in your hand was left on purpose by me..."
At this time, Lei Te saw everyone, smiled and said:
"Children, I'm here to announce a piece of good news. Rilai has just broken through to a third-level magician. Let's applaud him."
clap clap clap
As soon as the voice fell, there was warm applause.
Taker and Thales' eyes lit up, and they congratulated heartily.
"Congratulations, Riley. You are always one step ahead of me. I don't know when I will catch up." Tucker smiled honestly, and moved his **** to the left unconsciously.
Thales suddenly felt that the position was much empty, and glanced at Tucker inadvertently.
Then he also congratulated Ruilai: "Congratulations, Ruilai, it seems that you will become the second magister in our family.
And I am the third! "
crackling
At this time, the steak on the grill was splashing with oil and making a crackling sound.
"Thank you for your blessings." Relai smiled and looked towards the grill: "It looks like the barbecue is almost ready, it's time to enjoy this delicious lunch together."
Tuck heard this, rolled up his sleeves and began to grind the black lotus grass. This plant has a neutralizing effect on the seasoning, making it more flavorful.
Riley and Thales twirled their fingers and sprinkled other seasonings. Leiter remained motionless as if he was sitting firmly on a Diaoyutai, waiting for the filial piety of his three sons.
"Sprinkle more black powder." Lei Te said while watching.
The seasoning in this world is somewhat different from that of Blue Star, but the overall taste is better. After countless years of excavation, the varieties are also rich and diverse. Black jelly powder has a taste similar to cumin and black pepper, and Leiter likes it more.
"No problem!" Ruilai concentrated on it and controlled his strength quite well.
In less than half an hour, with the joint efforts of several people, the barbecue steak was completed.
Taker had quick eyes and quick hands, and took the lead in provoking the largest and most cooked steak, and placed it directly on Taylor's plate.
Thales was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Tucker would give himself the first piece of meat, which was absolutely impossible before!
Could it be that Tucker discovered it?
Thales was a little flustered, but he couldn't ask at this moment, so he said hastily: "Why give me this piece of meat, I don't eat steak with chili powder!"
"Eat as much as you want, so much nonsense." Tucker said in a low voice.
Riley also touched his chin, sprinkled black jelly powder, and said: "Taylors, I have never heard that you don't eat chili, you are lying!"
"I'm not lying!" Thales blushed slightly, and quibbled: "After all, people will change, and they just hate something suddenly. What's so strange?"
"Really? But at the banquet a few days ago, you also ate a lot of spicy blue shell lobster..."
"Yes, that's the time, let me eat enough chili!"
Taker didn't say a word, and while Thales and Rilai were talking, he picked another steak and put it on Thales' plate: "This piece has no pepper."
Thales was silent for a while, his heart moved slightly, and he took the plate over calmly, "Cough, thank you."
Taker didn't respond. He glanced at the steaks on the grill and saw that they were not cooked through, so he continued to grind the black lotus.
At this moment, Leiter, who was watching from the sidelines, witnessed the process just now, with a strange look on his face, and secretly said in his heart:
"It's kind of interesting. The brothers Tucker and Thales seem to have a much better relationship? Although... I don't know what caused it and how long it will last, but it's a good thing..."
"Father, your steak is ready, please enjoy it!" Reilly put the seasoned, shiny meat on the plate in front of Leiter.
Leite sniffed the fragrance lightly, and exclaimed:
"That's right, Thales' ingredients, Tucker's seasoning, Relai's roasting, today's barbecue has a special flavor!"
Nina bounced around the flames. As she became more familiar with the world, she was able to treat the flames well. Although she repelled it from the bottom of her heart, she wouldn't blow it out like it did when it first came.
Rilei also picked a steak for Nina, and the little guy flew away without the slightest interest.
In the cold and silent wind.
The meat steaks were wiped out one by one, and the father and son chatted casually, having fun.
Half a month later.
Leite, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes and sighed softly.
In the past half a month, he has mainly focused his energy on understanding the mystery, among which he wasted the most time on the mystery of condensation.
It has to be said that without the help of the sand elves, the understanding of the mystery of condensate can be described as a slow speed, and there has been no progress during this period.
Currently, for Condensation Mystery, he can only solidify part of his body, which is still far from the solidification of the whole body, not to mention the effect on the magic cast.
Originally according to his idea, if Sand Wolf Roar can get the blessing of Condensation Mystery, and then combined with Scattering Mystery, I am afraid that any one can single out the Earth Knight of the same level.
But unfortunately, according to the current trend, there is still a long way to go to achieve this.
He looked at the blue sky in the distance, thinking about it: "If there are other earth elves, can they provide me with profound insights?"
As soon as the thought came to mind, a flash of light flashed through my mind!
Leite's eyes flickered, and he thought of a new idea, which might help him find a new earth-type elf!
"The royal family is well-informed and has a wealth of channels. I can try to ask Prince Hogus to help me pay attention to the news about the collection of earth elves..." Leiter muttered to himself.
Once this idea surfaced, it could not help but occupy the mind, and Leiter also believed that it was feasible to a certain extent!
But he should run a simulation just in case.
On the one hand, it is to find news about elves.
On the other hand, there is another very important thing—to make suggestions to the ring tower, to see if it can be adopted, and to avoid the ending of being destroyed.
To be honest, although he hopes to earn a lot of merit through war, and grab a lot of wealth and resources from it.
But this kind of disaster that can obviously be prevented, let him watch it happen, giving up the opportunity to stop it, somewhat violated his bottom line.
Shaking his head helplessly, Leiter turned on the system.
