"No, you are all surrounded, and you are still so calm?" Ye Qimeng asked confused.

"Considering that your injury needs time to recover, I decided not to tell you about this after discussing with everyone." Alexa explained: "With you here, we are not afraid of the arrival of the devil apostle."

Alexa's words were full of reverence. Perhaps in her eyes, Ye Qimeng was the umbrella that could protect them from wind and rain.

Ye Qimeng felt that she was just an insignificant human being who happened to be favored by the gods.

But there is a saying: with greater ability comes greater responsibility.

"Having said that..."

Ye Qimeng murmured in her heart: But I don’t want to die again...

She thought that after severely injuring the harpy this time, she would be able to have a long period of time to cultivate her body.

I didn't expect that this harpy's recovery ability was so powerful. Just over a week had passed, and she actually led the six-eyed raven to come back again.

The villain monsters in this world are really amazing. They can't be killed no matter how hard they are beaten. They are more tenacious than Xiaoqiang. They are the characters that Ye Qimeng hates the most when watching TV series.

"How do you feel physically this time? Were you harmed by the attack on the barrier?"

Ye Qimeng thought about the last time she was attacked because of the barrier, causing Alexa to vomit blood, and now she was still vaguely worried about her health.

Unexpectedly, Alexa just replied easily: "Thank you for your concern. This is just a weak attack and will not affect my body."

She paused and continued to explain: "I think this has something to do with the fact that the harpy did not show up. Only the six-eyed raven is still surrounding the barrier and refuses to leave. However, this also means that our winged horses cannot go out to send The goods are delivered, luckily the things you asked us to do have been completed before then."

Hearing what she said, Ye Qimeng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the harpy would not make a comeback in the short term.

"By the way, is there any cure for the curse on you? I haven't heard you mention this matter recently. Is it because things have changed?"

After relaxing, Ye Qimeng suddenly thought of this matter. It was because of the earth elves' sacred objects that he entered the persimmon fruit forest.

Now that Alexa helped him solve the problems in the zoo and the cabin, it would be a piece of cake for him to help Alexa solve the curse problem.

"My legs are still the same as before, but now the speed of petrification seems to have slowed down. Maybe it has something to do with your arrival." Alexa pulled up the lined tulle skirt, revealing the skirt The lower legs are petrified starting from the soles of the feet.

But she said with a hint of regret: "Although we obtained the last holy object, we don't know how to use it, so we can only let Alex study it for some time."

"That's all for now. If you need any help, I'll be right here. I'll be on hand."

Ye Qimeng also feels that this matter is very difficult to handle, and he can't think of a particularly good solution for the time being.

But since they can't get out now, they can use this time to study the rules of the curse.

"Thank you very much for your generous help to us. If there is anything else you need from us in the future, please feel free to ask." Alexa's eyes were sincere and full of gratitude.

"Don't be so polite, we are all friends! Just call me Mengmeng from now on, that's what everyone calls me." Ye Qimeng replied.

"Okay, Mengmeng."

Alexa's voice calling her name was so gentle and sweet, which made Ye Qimeng secretly determined to help her lift the curse.

***

When people lie in bed too much, they will inevitably feel a little bored.

Now Ye Qimeng really wants to do something. Although her body doesn't allow it, she still misses the late-night snacks in the old world.

She really wants to eat barbecue now.

So she asked Ella who was beside the bed: "Where did the dog go? I want to take it to eat meat."

"It should be fighting Alex again, Master." Ella replied truthfully.

"I'm really speechless. This guy loves to wield knives and guns so much? Okay, then let's go eat meat and starve them to death!"

After so many days of wandering around Alexa's house, she had figured out the general internal structure of the palace. The most important thing was that she discovered that there was a stove in a small courtyard in the garden.

This surprised her so much that she couldn't wait to use this stove to cook barbecue.

She asked Ella to ask for some charcoal fire and food from the puppet servant, and then began a leisurely barbecue time in the small courtyard.

The black charcoal in the barbecue stove was burning slowly, and there were some small flames on it, which instantly brought a burst of warm air to the surroundings, and Ye Qimeng began to look forward to the smell of barbecue with excitement.

The silver plate brought by the puppet servant contained some common vegetables and fruits, as well as some unusual meats.

The meat has been cut into pieces, marinated with seasonings, and is now neatly stacked on the shelf of the stove.

"Zizzi-"

Ye Qimeng used silver tongs to flip the oily meat over on the stove, then grabbed a handful of unknown spices and sprinkled them on the barbecue.

The aroma instantly overflowed, slowly drifting into the distance along with the hot smoke.

"Ella, put this meat on a plate, it's ready to eat!"

She placed the baked food on the ceramic plate that Ella handed over. Ella took a strong breath of the aroma emanating from the plate and sighed: "Master, this barbecue smells so good. You are really a cooking genius!"

"Stop boasting and eat quickly. It will be cold later."

She urged Ella to try the freshly baked product. To be honest, she was not very confident in her skills and didn't know what the barbecue would taste like, so she let Ella "test the poison" first. .

Ella picked up a piece of meat with a fork, put it to her mouth and blew it a few times. When the meat became less hot, she stuffed it into Ye Qimeng's mouth.

Before Ye Qimeng could react, a choking smell spread in her mouth, making her cough uncontrollably.

"Cough cough cough-"

Seeing this, Ella quickly handed over a glass of persimmon juice.

She drank until the juice in the cup was all the way down, then she regained her composure, took the ceramic plate from Ella's hand, and said, "Stop eating, I think I put too much pepper. Hey, I really don't know how to cook." talent......"

"Master, Ella likes to eat whatever you make!" Ella consoled her from the side.

"Don't eat it, it will poison you to death later, hahaha..." She smiled awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, my barbecue day ended just like that before it even started.

This made her a little sad, and she sighed in her heart: It seems that she should just eat the food cooked by Ella and the puppet servant.

"What are you doing here? Why is there so much smoke?"

"Maybe there's a fire somewhere?"

"Damn it, you interrupted my sword practice, I almost defeated that dog!"

With a burst of sound, the hollow wrought iron door of the small courtyard was pushed open forcefully, and someone came in from the outside.

Sure enough, the two familiar voices were Alex and Alexa.

There are some small courtyards scattered randomly in the garden, and Ye Qimeng's current small remote courtyard is very close to Alex's daily practice courtyard. It should be that the smoke from her barbecue disturbed Alex and Gouzi. duel.

"Mengmeng, are you baking something? It smells like cinnamon, cardamom, rosemary and... and black pepper!" Alexa saw a plate in one hand and a silver tong in the other. Ye Qimeng touched his face and guessed.

"Your sense of smell is very sensitive. I sprinkled a lot of spices on the barbecue that I don't recognize." Ye Qimeng praised.

"Don't burn down the courtyard." Alex left a word without expression, then turned and left.

Alexa was a little helpless. She glanced at Alex as he left, turned to Ye Qimeng and apologized: "I'm really sorry. Alex has been worried about the curse on me recently, so he has such a bad temper."

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm used to this guy with a bad temper."

In fact, she still hopes that Alex can return to the gentleman and gentle person he was when she first met him.

She can also understand what Alexa said. Maybe he has too many worries in his heart recently!

"Can I have a taste of the barbecue in your hand? It looks delicious!" Alexa seemed to be very interested in the barbecue in her hand.

"It's okay, but I think I added too much pepper and it won't taste good," she reminded.

The next second, Alexa was pushed over in a wheelchair by a puppet servant. She excitedly picked up the fork on the silver tray and started trying it.

"Uh... I think it's good, but the taste seems to be missing..." Alexa closed her eyes, savoring the residual flavor of spices in her mouth, and suddenly realized: "I thought Okay, please wait a moment, I'll ask the puppet servant to get some key seasonings."

Alexa waved her hand in the air, and the puppet servant seemed to sense her inner thoughts and turned towards the palace.

Twenty minutes later, the puppet servant came back with a delicate and small silver tray in his hands.

This was a small silver-carved tray, only as big as two hands, and it was covered with a round silver cover. Ye Qimeng felt that there must be something valuable inside.

Alexa's eyes signaled that the puppet servant could open the silver cover.

As the silver cover was slowly lifted, what came into view was a vessel similar to a teapot. It was engraved with complicated gilt patterns, making it look very expensive and rare.

Ye Qimeng took a closer look at the gilt teapot and found that the patterns on it seemed to be a few birds flying among the branches and leaves.

Their wings are still flapping in the air, and their beaks are also very long and slender. A little bird buried its head in the flower stamens, as if enjoying the sweet nectar.

She subconsciously guessed: "Is this a hummingbird..."

"Do you also know such precious creatures as purple hummingbirds? They are very rare in the 'Land of the Immortal'. Only the glass greenhouse of the Duke of Stoke's house still supports this magical creature."

While Alexa was explaining the origin of the gilt bird pattern, she picked up the handle of the teapot on the tray and poured it over the barbecue on the ceramic plate. She continued: "The purple hummingbird is the symbol of the purple plain and the Duke of Stoke's. Family crest.”

"Then this purple viscous liquid you poured out is..."

Ye Qimeng looked at the purple-dyed barbecue on the porcelain plate in his hand, and had some strange thoughts in his heart.

She couldn't help but murmur in her mind: Could it be made of purple hummingbirds? If that's the case, I refuse...

"This is the purple nectar produced by the purple hummingbird. It has an extremely rich and sweet taste, and is also very rare and precious." Alexa sighed as she spoke and said with emotion: "It's a pity that this is the free trade era of the persimmon fruit forest. It’s a legacy. Now you can only taste dishes made from purple nectar in the Duchess of Stoke’s castle.”

Ye Qimeng also breathed a sigh of relief: It turned out that it was not made directly from purple hummingbirds, but produced by them hard, just like bees producing honey.

"I want to taste such a precious thing."

She began to look forward to the chemical reaction that would occur between the spicy roasted pepper and the purple nectar.

"Don't worry yet, the flames will make this purple nectar more delicious."

After saying that, Alexa used silver tongs to pick up the pepper roast mixed with purple nectar on the plate, and placed it on the stove again, ready to be roasted again.

Ye Qimeng also stepped forward curiously, wanting to see what wonderful phenomena would occur after the purple nectar was heated.

"Zizzi-"

The purple nectar made a vaporizing sound when it hit the red-hot grill, exuding a sweet aroma that made the saliva in her mouth secrete crazily.

The hot charcoal fire also reacted with the dripping purple nectar. At that moment, she noticed that the red flame turned into a brief purple, adding a bit of mysterious magic.

"Wow...purple flames..." Ye Qimeng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this magical phenomenon.

"Yes, this is the power of magic..." Alexa responded as she did.

The two of them admired this beautiful magical phenomenon with fascination.

The purple firelight shone on Ye Qimeng's face, which was leaning against the stove, making her feel a little dazed, as if she was in a wonderful dream.

And this constantly beating purple flame also reminded her subconsciously of some forgotten key information...
