Chapter 22 Dungeon on the Tip of the Tongue

Bone china is a special ceramic fired using biological ashes.

Compared with ordinary ceramics, the manufacturing process of bone china is slightly cumbersome.

But the advantage of this kind of porcelain is that even if you don't have high-quality raw materials, you can still make higher-quality utensils.

Naturally, there was no readily available high-quality clay in this underground city for Karl to bake into ceramics, so he had to think of alternatives.

Grilling the lizard's various bones one by one on the stone slab, Karl dusted some salt water appropriately for seasoning.

The meat that clings to the bones is tender and elastic. This is because during the roasting process, the collagen in part of the bones leaks out and replaces the water lost in the meat.

The stone slab at about 160 degrees causes the Maillard reaction to form on the surface of the bone and meat, and the special protein aging method maximizes the flavor of the food itself.

Even if only salt water is used for seasoning, the aroma is still irresistible.

"Click!"

Whenever Carl roasted a meat bone, he would take a cleaned hand ax and split the bone across the middle.

The marrow inside the bone is exposed to the air.

This oil-rich food exudes an alluring aroma as soon as it appears.

Eat the marrow to know the taste. This idiom shows the special status of bone marrow in the minds of ancient people.

It cleverly describes how people who have eaten bone marrow view this food - as long as you have eaten it once, you will know how delicious it is.

He handed half of the split bone to Hope, and Carl held the other half in his hand, grilling the next one and chewing on it.

From time to time, he would bring his mouth close to the broken bone and suck on the inside of the hollow bone a few times.

Generally speaking, women during menstrual period are not suitable for eating such fatty foods.

But as a tiefling barbarian, Hope's physique is even better than Karl's. She has sufficient physical foundation to quickly absorb those nutrients to replenish herself.

After eating about a dozen meat bones, Hope felt that his body was no longer so weak.

But before she could help Karl, Karl had already used rainwater to cool down the stone slab slightly.

"Put it under your butt and you should be able to get some relief."

At this time, all the spiritual energy of the stone slab has been consumed, and the remaining temperature has dropped to about 70 or 80 degrees after being poured over by rain.

"Huh? Are you asking me to get angry?"

Looking at the slate handed over by Karl with the hand of a mage, Hope subconsciously resisted.

"Don't be such a mother-in-law. This is a special treatment method from my hometown. Be obedient!"

In previous lives, many girls with dysmenorrhea would sit on a stone pillar on the street that had been exposed to the sun all day to relieve their pain.

Carl doesn't know how this works, but those who have tried it online say it works.

Seeing that Hope, who had been unusually energetic before, was now lying on the recliner in a very sick condition, Karl had no choice but to come up with this folk remedy to treat her.

Looking at Karl suspiciously, Hope gave way and let the slate fall on the seat of the lounge chair.

Then, she sat on the stone slab with a ferocious expression.

There were still some hot stones that made Hope flinch, but the tiefling's natural fire resistance allowed her to quickly adapt to this.

Gradually, Hope no longer held up his body, but let gravity do its thing, and his body completely sat on the stone slab.

"Huh~, it seems to be really effective, as expected of Eruden!"

Feeling the warmth coming from under his body gradually relieving the pain, Hope was like the public figures Carl had seen on the Internet in his previous life, thinking of ways to praise the Eluden Fields.

Karl did not correct this misunderstanding.

People who like Eluden are actually quite rare in other parts of the continent.

Even most people think it is a backward place.

Because of the professional nature of druids pursuing nature, many druids in other areas of the continent are extreme environmentalists.

They destroyed farms, destroyed factories, and even forcibly killed cattle and sheep in pastures.

This kind of barbaric behavior has been publicized by newspapers in various countries, making some people have bad feelings about druids.

In addition, the natural energy used by druids prevents them from wearing exquisite iron armor and weapons, so things related to druids are often equated with "backwardness".

Of course, no one dares to openly slander Eluden on an official level.

The world's strongest druid and the spiritual leader of Eluden - O'Elian is said to have a terrifying strength of level 40.

And Eluden also shoulders the task of continuing to fight against the Demonic Wasteland in the northwest of the Khorvaire continent.

More importantly, Eluden provides high-quality and low-priced food and various agricultural and sideline products to countries all over the world.

If someone scolds the cook after a full meal, Eluden will stop continuing to trade food with the country.

Although various countries still have a certain amount of cultivated land, it is not enough compared to the high-quality and stable prices of Eluden's materials.

Carl and Hope are getting better and better here, but the Bugbear team still trudging through the heavy rain is still moving forward miserably.

The food carried by the entire team was completely soaked by the rain, and some people began to suffer from diarrhea after eating the food.

As of today, the entire team has five bugbears left behind.

"Chief! We need to hunt some monitor lizards for food. We can't eat the food we brought!"

Seeing the team getting smaller and smaller, a bear goblin grabbed the chief of the bear goblins who wanted to move forward and expressed his opinion.

After a brief thought, the chief of the bear goblin, who was not very smart, accepted the advice of his subordinates, asked people to find a cave nearby, and took a group of bear goblins in better condition to hunt monitor lizards and other animals.

In fact, the dry food brought by this bear goblin team was jerky made from monitor lizard meat.

They themselves have mastered the breeding technology of monitor lizards, and the output of monitor lizard meat can even meet the consumption of the entire tribe.

Of course, how can ordinary goblins be qualified to enjoy monitor lizard meat with bear goblins and big goblins?

So the ordinary goblins who stayed in the tribe can only eat the not-so-delicious fluorescent mushrooms and the garbage left by the bear goblins to fill their stomachs.

After walking a distance north from the cave, the bear goblin team soon found a group of wild monitor lizards playing in the rain.

The leading bear goblin took off a well-made giant axe from his back, and then charged at the giant lizards.

The other bear goblins followed suit and took out their own weapons. Surprisingly, although these guys acted like uncivilized savages from primitive tribes, their weapons were all finely forged iron.

When the weapons were swung, magic patterns occasionally lit up. These weapons were magic weapons that could automatically repair some ordinary wear and tear and resist the erosion brought by time.

Such weapons should not be owned by such a group of goblins anyway.
