The leisurely life of a magician

Wu Qi Well, the black country, the living room of the royal palace.

Rhine, Brave and Anos sat on the sofa, looking solemnly at the documents on the coffee table.Half a month after Li Ke and the others left, this document was sent by the envoy of Harkison Kingdom.

This is an invitation letter from the country of Hakrisen, and the content is to invite the great sage of the country of Wuqimahei to a banquet.As for what the real purpose is, they are currently unclear.

But the most important thing is that the real great sage is not here, and it is Rhine who replaces the great sage here.Rhine did not forget to train himself, he is now level 75, but even so, he has no confidence to fool those great sages who are really standing at the top of the world.

He had only seen such a good-tempered great sage like Li Ke in his life. The great sages he had come into contact with before all had a haughty attitude, and everyone looked like ants.

Rhine can somewhat understand the mentality of those great sages. For them, those who cannot be equal to them are weak and helpless guys.The position they stand in is a position of giving help, not a position of seeking help from others, so naturally there is no need to echo each other.

"This matter... what to do?" Anos reached out and rubbed his temples, "The great sage is not here now, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return."

"Brother Rhine can't go to this banquet either. If other great sages see through it, it may cause serious consequences..." The brave looked solemn, "And many people know the identity of Brother Rhine, right? Like the great sage What magic school did you say?"

"But we can't wait for the great sage to come back." Rhine said, "The messenger from the Hakrison Kingdom stayed here on purpose to wait for news. If we avoid talking about it now, it will be considered a bluff. There will even be rumors that there are no great sages in the black country."

"No way?" said the brave man.

"A brave man who is summoned to a different world can be signed a blood contract as soon as he arrives in this world. What else can't happen?" Rhine sighed, "The Harkison Kingdom can become a big country that occupies one side, the story behind it is not It's all glorious, and they'll do anything to get their way."

"Then their purpose is... to find an excuse to attack our country?" Anos was uncertain.

Rhine nodded: "This possibility is very high."

"Then..." Anos didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Rhine, "I have to go to the banquet this time." As he said, he left Li Ke to his map magic The opponent of the scroll is on the coffee table, "If the Harkison Kingdom chooses to go to war, use these magic scrolls to deal with them."

"What about you?" the brave man asked.

"Me?" Rhine smiled. "If there is a war, it means that my identity has been exposed, or I have been killed. At that time, please protect this country."

"I'll go too!" said the brave man.

"No, you have to stay here." Rhine said, "Don't forget the mission that the great sage entrusted to you. You can just stay here and wait for the great sage to return. After finally canceling the contract, don't do it yourself again." Delivered to the door."

"But, but..."

"Boy, I've seen all kinds of storms, don't worry about me." Rhine patted his chest, "Besides, I wear the equipment given by the great sage, and nothing will happen."

Brave: "...um."

Rhine looked at Anos: "Anos, I will leave this kid and Yana to you."

"The task I entrusted to you, you actually entrusted it to someone else?" At this moment, Li Ke's voice suddenly rang in the room.

Rhine: "The great sage..."

In the next second, the equipment on Rhine emitted a strong light, and after the light dissipated, a young man exactly like Li Ke appeared in front of everyone.

"To be precise, I am not the great sage himself. I am the spiritual power left by the great sage on you. You can call me Ke Ke." Ke Ke folded his arms and looked at the three people in front of him.

"...Ke, Ke?" Looking at Li Ke's face and calling him such a name, Rhine felt a little weird.

"Ah, that's it." Ke Ke said, "My mission is to protect Rhine's safety, so don't worry, even if I get killed, you won't die."

"Are you really, not the great sage?" Anos looked at Ke Ke in shock. If he didn't know the truth, there would be no doubt that he and Li Ke were twins.

Of course, Anos does not look at people by their faces, but by their souls. This is a characteristic that dragons are born with.

"I've said no." Ke Ke said, "Okay, let's go to the banquet. It's best to finish the matter before the master comes back, otherwise the master will be unhappy, and the master hates trouble."

Anos looked to Rhine for advice, and Rhine nodded: "Okay, then we will set off tomorrow." Since the great sage kept Keke, he must have expected something.

……

Waha Mountains, underground mines.

Li Ke, who was leaning against the mine, slowly opened his eyes, and a purple light flashed quickly in his eyes.Of course Ke Ke doesn't exist, that's just Li Ke's intentional design.

At the beginning, the equipment he was giving Rhine was equipped with something similar to monitoring equipment.Of course, it's not a bad taste to spy on Rhine's privacy, but to know some news about the time away.

Moreover, Li Ke will only receive a reminder after this device enters the living room.This is also one of the reasons why Li Ke loves to sleep in the Dwarf Kingdom and Goblin Kingdom.

Although he cared about John and the others' safety, it didn't mean he didn't care about Rhine and the others.Now that he is the great sage of Wuqimahei country, he will definitely be noticed by people from other countries, which is also within his expectation.

It's just that I didn't expect to find it so soon. Could it be that some temple made it again?Has the contract broken on the brave man been noticed last time?

Anyway, it is true that this matter is getting more and more complicated.Li Ke felt that if he went to the temple to meet Shenzi, he might be able to get the answer, but he didn't want to go now, he still wanted to taste mushrooms.

After entering the underground mine, Harley went to the dwarves to buy mushrooms.If you want to buy mushrooms, you only need to exchange them with ore, and the most important thing Li Ke lacks is ore.

When he came to the dwarf kingdom, Anos also gave him a lot of ore.After all, when it comes to the kingdom of dwarves, there must be such things as ores.The most popular thing in the dwarf kingdom is to exchange ore for things.

Harley was almost dumbfounded when he saw the ores that Li Ke gave. Those ores were all high-quality ores. Using these things for mushrooms Harley felt a bit cruel.After careful selection, Harley went to the dwarves to exchange mushrooms.

The dwarves are not very attached to mushrooms, they are just something to fill their stomachs, and they can get a lot of them by just digging, so when Harley proposed to exchange mushrooms, the dwarves were all happy to exchange.

It wasn't long before Harley came back with mushrooms.

"Master Great Sage, are these mushrooms enough?" Harley asked Li Ke.

"Taste it." Li Ke glanced around the mushrooms. There are all kinds of mushrooms dug here, some of which are as big as washbasins in hot springs, and some are as small as Flammulina velutipes. There are even colorful ones.

... Are you sure this mushroom is edible?

"Then how do we eat?" Harley asked, he felt a little hungry after working for so long.

"Baked it first." Li Ke took out a thin iron plate from the item box, and cleaned it with water magic.

Harley asked curiously, "What is this for?"

"Didn't you say roast it?" Li Ke chose one of each type of mushroom, washed it and sliced ​​it.The most convenient thing about using magic is that you don't need to do it yourself, and you won't cut your hands by mistake.Of course, it takes a lot of practice to accurately use magic to cook.

As for Li Ke, being able to become a great sage is his due compensation from the Creator, so it cannot be said that it is good or bad.If Li Ke had the chance to choose, he would rather return to the original world than stay here as a great sage.

Not to mention anything else, the level of technology here is too low, and the variety of food is pitifully small. There are many foods you want to eat, and you can't eat them. The problem of food is so difficult, let alone any entertainment items.

After the mushrooms are sliced, brush a layer of olive oil on top, yes, it is the easiest way to eat.Of course, Li Ke didn't expect the taste of these mushrooms at all, because these mushrooms didn't seem to have any clear fragrance.

"Is this enough?" Harley asked Li Ke to tell him how to cut the mushrooms, brush them with olive oil, and put them on the iron plate that Li Ke had scalded.

The olive oil collided with the high-temperature iron plate, making a sizzling sound.

"Look at the time, and then turn over, don't burn the mushrooms." If John is here, he can understand what he means without his reminder.

Thinking about John's day two.

Harley nodded, and then his eyes were glued to the iron plate. After seeing that the mushrooms were almost roasted, he turned the mushrooms with the chopsticks given by Li Ke. After a while, the fragrance of the mushrooms spread in the mine.

A corner of the mine.

Now is the time for lunch, and for the mining dwarves, their food is as common and ordinary as digging with a pickaxe.Most of the mushrooms are dug up and eaten raw, and they are not processed in other ways.

For them, food is just a way to accumulate energy, and they don't care much about whether it tastes good or not.

"Bob, what's for lunch today?" A dwarf asked a dwarf who was washing mushrooms with a mining pickaxe.

"Of course it's a mushroom." Bob looked at him after washing the mushrooms in his hand, "You idiot, didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"Aren't there other delicious things besides mushrooms?" The dwarf looked at the mushrooms piled on the ground with dissatisfaction, "It's tasteless and not very tasty."

"What are you talking about, you idiot! We are here for mining, not for vacation, who would come here for food!"

"Then can't you change the pattern of these mushrooms? We know that we can eat them raw every day. I think it would be good to eat them boiled."

"My God, you're talking nonsense again, Tutu," Bob said. "We dwarves have no magic, and we can't make a fire at all. How do you think you're going to cook it?"

"I, how do I know..." The dwarf named Tutu looked to the side with guilt, "Besides, you are responsible for the food, so you should make something edible."

"Whether you like to eat or not, I only have raw mushrooms here! Don't come begging me if you're hungry!" Bob didn't want to talk nonsense with Tutu, this guy would routinely ask him this question every day, and he would About to throw up.

At this moment, the two smelled a fragrance.

"What is this! It smells so good!" Tutu's eyes lit up, and she was pleasantly surprised.

"Are there really any idiots cooking food in the mine?" Bob whispered, but his legs and feet couldn't help walking towards the direction of the scent.

……

"...Then, that, Great Sage? What should we do about this?" Harley asked Li Ke, looking at the dwarves who gathered around them and smirking.

Li Ke put a piece of grilled mushroom into his mouth, chewed it, frowned and spat it out, which caused the surrounding dwarves to scream in panic.

"This mushroom is too old to taste, so don't take it away in the future." Li Ke pointed to a certain kind of mushroom and said.

"Okay, okay." Harley nodded, and then continued the topic, "That, that, Mr. Great Sage, we are surrounded by dwarves..."

"I'm not blind." Li Ke continued to taste the grilled mushrooms. If the mushrooms are cold, they will not taste good, so he will try them all before they are cold, and then select the most delicious mushrooms.

In addition, from the mushrooms traded, Li Ke also found something similar to cotton. Although the essence is different from cotton, it may be possible to make a quilt that takes into account the effect of an 'electric blanket'. Ah, of course, this is It takes practice.

I heard that the elf country has the most plants, maybe there are surprises waiting for him there.Maybe, I can still have a hot pot meal if I make do.Ah, hot pot, I haven't eaten it for a long time.

Seeing that Li Ke didn't want to pay attention to it at all, Harley had no choice but to smile apologetically at the dwarves, and then distinguish the mushrooms that Li Ke said he didn't need.

When Bob and Tutu came, they saw that the mine was surrounded by a bunch of dwarves.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Tutu stretched his neck to look inside, but couldn't see anything.

"Let's go, let's all go!" Bob pushed away the dwarves who were watching the excitement, and squeezed inside.The dwarves were originally dissatisfied with this man's attitude, but they immediately moved away after seeing who it was.

Bob is also very famous in the underground mines, because he is the guy who is responsible for the food of the entire mine.If you piss him off, you'll either starve or dig your own mushrooms.

"That... goblin?!" Bob originally wanted to say hello to the other party in a friendly manner, but after seeing that the other party was a goblin, the smile on his face disappeared a lot.

At this time, Li Ke also tried all kinds of mushrooms. Among them, there are two kinds of the highest quality, three kinds of mushrooms in the middle and upper, and thirteen kinds of mushrooms in the lower middle.

"Oh, you came just in time." Li Ke saw Bob who volunteered to stand up, and said calmly, "Come and taste these mushrooms, and then tell me which one you like."

"what?"

"Ah what? Don't you want to? Then there are plenty of people behind you who can choose." Li Ke raised his chin behind him, and Bob looked back. The group of dwarves all showed the expressions of wolves wanting to eat meat. He panicked.

"I'll come as I come." Bob cleared his throat, walked up to Li Ke, and began to try every kind of mushroom.Although he didn't know what method Li Ke used to make them, Bob could feel how delicious these ordinary mushrooms had become. If he hadn't tasted them himself, he wouldn't have believed that those mushrooms would be so delicious!

Bob wolfed down all the mushrooms, licking his mouth contentedly.

"Let's talk." Li Ke looked at Bob.

"What?" Bob looked at Li Ke in a daze.

"Which mushroom is delicious?"

"Huh?" He ate too fast just now, and didn't see the type of mushroom clearly!Who knows which mushroom is delicious!But since he agreed to other people's conditions, he didn't want to be perfunctory: "Actually, they are all delicious..."

Li Ke didn't speak, and looked at him silently.Bob felt chills down his spine for no reason, as if he was being stared at by some monster.

Seeing that Li Ke seemed to be angry, Harley hurried to smooth things over: "My lord, in fact, for the dwarves, the mushrooms they like are older, and they are not very interested in the younger mushrooms."

"Yeah." Li Ke looked back and nodded.He wasn't angry just now, he just had an idea in his mind when he saw Bob.

Now that the dwarf king was killed by the goblins, these dwarves may not know it yet.But this also proves that those goblins have signs of separation from the dwarf kingdom, which is not a good thing for goblins and dwarves.

Without the support of goblins, dwarves cannot make the best magic items.Without the support of the dwarves, the goblins will become a useless race. Even if they are attached to the elves, the elves will not provide them with any good treatment.

When the grand ceremony was held, Li Ke originally planned to go to the kingdom of elves with Yake and Clay, but in the end he changed his mind and went to the kingdom of dwarves first.He thought it was impossible for those elves not to know his existence, so he could only go in vain if he went there.

So the question is, where can we meet the elves?To be precise, seeing the elf queen?The answer is: the kingdom of dwarves.

If you want to establish a passage between the human and dwarf kingdoms, you need the elves to maintain it.Those humans who are superstitious about the legend of enchanted props in the dwarf kingdom will definitely protect these elves by all means, and this has also become a shield for the elf queen.

No matter what the elf queen's purpose is to do such a thing, it is troublesome for Li Ke, super troublesome.He even wondered if Clay should go back in time, go back to the time when Anos was negotiating with the elf queen, and then kill the elf queen directly, so that these troubles would not happen.

But Clay's power has not really recovered yet, so he won't be able to use this kind of magic for a short time.

Therefore, in order to integrate into the dwarven kingdom, there is another way besides wine, and that is delicious food.The dwarves don't pay much attention to food, it's because they think cooking food is troublesome and a waste of time, and they might as well dig iron ore if they have this skill.

But roasting mushrooms is not troublesome. You can even borrow the stove to roast mushrooms while blacksmithing, and you won’t be delayed while blacksmithing. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.

The food dwarves eat is pretty weird. I heard from Harley that they can eat volcanic ash when they are hungry, because volcanic ash contains many elements they need.So for dwarves, roasted mushrooms are tasty enough.

All in all, the most important thing for dwarves to eat is not the taste, but the ability to absorb enough energy. Of course, they will also want to eat delicious food when conditions permit.

Most of the dwarves who come here to mine are unskilled, but they also have their own advantages, that is, the number.And most of them are still apprentices, and they all have their own teachers.

So it is also possible to tell those dwarf artisans this way of eating through them, and realize the system of 'surrounding the city from the countryside'.

Coupled with the wine produced by Wuqimahei Country, it is a two-pronged approach, and it is a certainty to get the recognition of the dwarves.In this way, they can get detailed information about where the labyrinth leading to the human world is and how many elves maintain it.

After getting this information, Li Ke and the others can proceed to the next step: kill the Elf Queen.Instead of letting her continue to mess around, it's better to just click away to avoid future troubles.

After all, he hates trouble.

"Actually... I think the biggest mushroom is the tastiest." Bob was also shocked when he heard Harley call out the great sage. He didn't expect the great sage to appear in this place!

The Great Sage is the title given to the highest magician of mankind, so the goblin in front of him should be just a disguise.He had also heard the stories told by the older generation, saying that the magic of those great sages was so magical that they could even turn into a mouse.

After thinking that he might offend a great sage, Bob racked his brains to recall the taste just now, and then came to this conclusion.

The biggest mushroom that Bob mentioned is the 'hot spring mushroom', which is the mushroom that Li Ke and the others encountered when they went to the dwarf hotel to soak in the hot spring. Li Ke also tasted this kind of mushroom, and it really fits the older traits that Halley said. It is accurate. It must be chewy.

"Do you eat volcanic ash?" Li Ke asked.

Bob didn't know Li Ke's thoughts, nodded and said: "Yes, the volcanic ash here has a salty taste, and it can be used as soup when poured into hot water."

Li Ke: ...

Li Ke thought about it, grilled another plate of mushrooms, sprinkled volcanic ash on it, and handed it to Bob: "Try it."

Bob didn't think much about picking up the plate and started eating, but this time he ate more carefully and tasted the taste. The mushrooms were burnt on the outside, but there was no loss of moisture inside, and they even had the original freshness of the mushrooms. The sweetness, combined with the saltiness of the volcanic ash, is a perfect match!

This is much more delicious than the mushrooms he ate just now!

Seeing the expression on Bob's face, Li Ke was too lazy to ask him any questions.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now." Li Ke said, "When I finish researching these plants and mushrooms, I will hand over all the production methods to you. It will be the easiest and most time-saving method. You can go now. .”

Bob: "Then do I still need to try it tomorrow?"

"unnecessary."

Bob: ...

The author has something to say: Bob: _(:з」∠)_The great sage pulls out X is ruthless

Li Ke; oh

Harley: ...
