Chapter 800 – 791 Finding Adneville
It was a boat barbecue party that started in haste, but it was a rich meal prepared with alcohol, drinks, fish, meat and various vegetables.
Of course, alcohol was limited to two drinks per person due to the current situation of the party.
Chijik- Jijikjikjik-
All kinds of meat, fish, and vegetables are skewered on sticks and grilled over charcoal fire, and the aroma fills the boat.
Skewers of meat and zucchini sandwiched with broccoli, fist-sized shrimp, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and lotus root, sausages, rice cakes, zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms.
Of course, there are only vegetable skewers for Anne and Ayoung who are in the middle of a tree planting, meat skewers with only meat from each part, and grilled fish with whole fish the size of a forearm.
= Hey, Ahyoung. Add more egg potatoes. Mushrooms too. Where is the asparagus?=
=The gap to draw this is wide, so it will fall off. I’ll bring something dense!=
=Wow!=
= Wow… ! Yuri unnie, you uploaded too big of meat… ! If it’s this big, it’s hard to cook evenly…=
=It’s okay~ I’m going to learn by moving the fire myself!=
“Oohhh! Beef! Pork! Chicken!”
“Lobster Butter Charcoal Grilled John Matang… !=
The group takes out ingredients that suit their taste from a clean food ingredient box and makes skewers or grills the whole thing and enjoys a barbeque with drinks.
A place where only vegetables are grilled, a place where only vegetables and meat are grilled, a place where only meat is grilled, and a place where only fish is grilled.
Along with the white smoke from four places, the mouth-watering smell spreads far and wide on the wind.
「Hwanin. Put a lot of meat on my bread.”
“Make me too!”
“Okay.”
Hwanin grilled hot dog buns on the grill for Hwanyeon and Norn, then sliced the meat as thin as paper sheets, put plenty of grilled meat on the iron plate, and sprinkled a sauce of mustard, wasabi, and mayonnaise on it.
「Yeah, it’s spicy! Delicious!”
“Hoaa… ! Huh… !”
Seeing the two of them devouring the hot dog while exhaling the pungent taste of wasabi and mustard, women also cling to his arms and shoulders, asking him to make them for themselves.
Hwanin smiled and continued making meat hot dogs for them. Of course, while eating the grilled skewers they feed.
As everyone filled their stomachs and the speed of making the skewers started to slow down, Issilite took out a large saucepan from her prized condiment bag.
Issilite’s face is rather serious, perhaps because of her secret sauce.
With a click, the lid opened and a translucent, pale green liquid appeared. The pungent smell stimulated the senses of the party, and the party, who had been grilling skewers eagerly, gathered around her.
=Isul, what is that? Smell… It looks like wasabi or ginger, but the color is light green?=
=This is a special secret sauce that I completed a while ago.=
=Special?=
=Special!=
=My sister’s special sauce… !=
Having dabbed a little of her sauce with her little finger, Isilite closed her eyes and nodded her head as she savored her taste.
= Well made. Ahyoung, bring me a vegetable skewer.=
=Yes!=
I’m not sure what’s special, but Isilite’s older sister’s cooking skills are skills that will never be lacking even if she is the head chef of the royal palace.
Even so, she is her older sister who never boasts or boasts with her own mouth.
In addition, the reason why they asked me to bring a vegetable skewer was to say that you and Anne’s sister could eat that sauce!
Ayoung hurried over and brought the most delicious vegetable skewers, staring intently at the classic vegetable skewers of mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, green peppers, and cherry tomatoes being meticulously smeared with light green sauce.
And the skewers coated with the special secret seasoning go up the grill…
Whoa…
=… ?!=
=… !=
= Oh… !=
“Omg?”
A spicy and sour scent that made the nostrils tingle, a smell that smelled like grilled meat, fish, or strong-scented vegetables spread widely, stimulating the salivary glands of the party.
Even though my stomach was adequately filled, it smelled like this?
The women, whose salivary glands exploded, gurgled incessantly, staring only at Isilite’s hand, and Isilite paid no heed to and painstakingly grilled one of her vegetable skewers.
Then, she carefully placed the deliciously grilled skewers on a plate and served them to Hwanin.
=Master, try it once.=
“Eat well.”
Hwanin showed interest in the scent, which he had never smelled at any other high-end restaurant, and took out a well-grilled vegetable skewer and a bite-sized oyster mushroom threaded at the end.
“… !”
The moment Chia cuts the mushrooms, the juice flows out and covers the tongue, and at that moment, the taste of the steak, which is perfectly finished with the finest meat and searing, spreads throughout the mouth.
Without exaggeration, it tastes like 100g of steak concentrated in one piece of mushroom.
“Does this taste like steak? Awesome.”
= Steak? Does it taste like steak?=
=Isilite must have finished the sauce that tastes like steak!=
= If Doryeong says that, the taste is great! =
Then, Hwanin skipped the broccoli and unknowingly tightened his eyebrows.
“Is this chicken flavor? How.”
= Huh? Chicken?=
The second taste of the sauce that touched my tongue seemed sweet, but I could feel the spicy, bitter, and slightly sour taste. On top of that, the texture of the broccoli and the vegetable juice were added, and the taste of the barbecued chicken instantly took over the taste buds on my tongue.
While the women were confused, Hwanin, who chewed the third piece of asparagus, was a bit dumbfounded at the fact that this time, the savory taste of the meat mixed with the strong lightness of the fish to form harmony.
=… Aww! I can’t stand it any longer! Dew, hurry up! Apply the sauce!=
When Hwanin, who always savored each bite like a gourmet, showed such a fierce reaction, Anne could not stand it and brought a lot of vegetable skewers and lit a torch.
I’ve never heard of a sauce that makes vegetables taste like meat.
Isilite laughs at Anne’s impatience and cooks her skewers all at once and distributes them.
And the women who tried the skewers looked shocked, like chefs encountering MSG for the first time.
How did you come up with such a variety of meat flavors with just one sauce?
Meat also showed various tastes such as cow, pig, chicken, sheep, dog, bear, and deer depending on the type of vegetable or vegetable, and the same was true of fish.
Spanish mackerel, yellowtail, tuna, abalone, flatfish, crab, shrimp, lobster, eel, turtle, mackerel, sea bream…
If you eat two or more kinds of vegetables and the amount of sauce at the same time, you can enjoy a variety of flavors such as tang, grilled, steamed, and stir-fried.
Others say, ‘Oh, that’s amazing. So?”
The secret sauce Isilite developed was a magical seasoning that cured the temptation of meat for Floe, who was in an arboreal state and could only eat a limited diet.
=Since you all stopped eating meat, I’ve been making it with sad eyes. Do you like it?=
=Isul, I love you!=
= Isilite sister. Can I call her sister her mother from now on? =
Issilite smiled slightly at the two’s gestures of hugging and revealing their deeply moved expressions and feelings without adding or subtracting.
The scent of the special secret sauce seems to be effective even for animals. Yurpa handed out her skewers and asked Anne, seeing the young Que screaming and screaming near the barbecue grill.
= By the way, are you there? Didn’t you become a god while turning halfway around? Then, isn’t the limitation of lifespan almost out of bounds?=
=… Huh?=
=Even if you become an 8th grade professional, you tend to live three to four times the average life expectancy of your species. But now that she has become a god herself, I wonder if there is any reason for Lady Anne and Ah-yeong to maintain the tree.
Anne’s mother, Shuanade, whom I met in Cheblief, explained.
‘There are two ways to use integers. One is to provide essence as it is for a partner to improve health and vitality and help them live a long and disease-free life. The other is to sprinkle essence on flowers to make them pure.’
The promotion of health and vitality can be fully realized in other ways. Longevity without disease is no different from what has already been achieved now that he has become a god.
=…=
=…=
The two scratched their heads as if they hadn’t thought about Yurpa’s point.
If that’s the case, there’s no need for arboretum…
Anne asked, glancing at Hwanin who was grilling her skewer with an expression that made it difficult to know what she was thinking.
= Doryeong. What do you think of Dolyeong?=
“Well.”
It is important to eat to the extent that food is included in the three major life elements of a person.
However, arborization is no different from abstaining from one desire. Only those who have experienced it know how painful it can be.
Hwanin was not particularly interested in longevity without disease. He thought that as long as he lived, he would be able to treat minor illnesses, and that death was a natural thing to do if he was a living being.
He was the one who thought that the long and short life of hers was a fate given to that person, but she continued to consume Anne’s essence because their hopes and wishes were her own disease-free longevity, so she accepted many points.
Hwanin opened his eyes and noticed from Anne and Ayoung’s gaze that they wanted to keep the tree flowers.
“… Anne, I’m fine if you want to keep the trees. Because your essence is like the water of vitality to me. Ahyeong, the purified flowers you grow with essence are about to bear flowers, so if the flowers bloom successfully, the petals will become excellent medicine through Yurpa’s alchemy and will serve as food for you.”
Watching Kim Chul-soo and Kim Yeong-soo eat skewers of meat in a corner noticing the serious talk, Hwan-in looked at her girlfriends again and said,
“Even if you say you will unravel the trees, I’m fine. It’s because I don’t have to see you make sad faces while looking at all kinds of meat. It would be nice to watch Isilite cook and enjoy her happiness.”
= So… Do you mean to leave the sword to our decision?=
As she nodded her wordlessly, Anne touched her long pointed ears, which were slightly red, then shrugged her shoulders.
=Then I will keep going. Ayoung, are you?=
= Me too. At least I have to keep it until I make one elixir of youth for my sisters, Bell, and Norn to eat.=
Yurpa, who deliberately brought up this topic, looked at them with peaceful expressions as before, and put on a slightly happy expression.
If, for some reason, she has to finish the tree planting, suddenly saying that word can be a burden and stress for them.
If she had to say that she would quit what she had been silently maintaining for years, she would feel burdened, even if it was an ordinary part-time job.
Of course he doesn’t have anything bad to say. If Anne or Ah-young say they need to stop planting trees, they will accept it, go ahead and find out what the problem is, and then try to solve the problem.
However, the person responsible and the person concerned cannot be so comfortable. Because Anne and Ah-yeong were in charge of important positions in their own way, responsible for the health and lifespan of the party.
I did, but a topic worth mentioning came up by chance, and thanks to that, I talked about it like this.
Later, if a situation arises in which they need to bring up the story, they will be able to mention it more comfortably. It’s not the same, but it left a similar precedent.
Yurpa, who was petting Silu as he was eating charcoal-grilled lobster, suddenly looked up at the top of the cliff and burst into laughter.
= Ahahaha. Miss Dew, look up there.=
=… ?=
Isilite raised her head at her call and narrowed her eyes.
Seabirds perching on masts or ropes between sails. And small animals the size of a fist or a little bigger lined the edge of a cliff.
Those animals were staring at the grill.
Ah-young muttered in amazement.
=Couldn’t it be that those animals were attracted by the smell of Issilite’s sauce?=
=I think so?=
Blinking her eyes, Anne takes a piece of her flesh from her meat skewer and flings it out of her over the railing, whereupon she sees seabirds sitting nearby leaping up like lightning and fighting over the meat.
=Wow, Dew’s cooking skill works with animals now.=
=Didn’t Norn captivate your taste buds from the beginning?=
=Was it?=
Women grilling skewers with special sauce with a smile.
Hwanin also ate a meal of grilled skewers with a small smile on his lips, and turned his gaze toward the cliffs of the loch with a strange gesture.
Several female heads float on the surface of the water near an undersea cave whose entrance is covered by trees.
“…”
Came out too Thanks to Issilite’s special sauce, I’m glad I didn’t have to grill the seasoned ribs.
Before the full-scale barbecue party, she was a Hwanin who summoned a female mermaid spirit and obtained simple information, so she was not surprised and put a few of her skewers on a plate and approached the railing where the Harin tribe was.
As he approached the railing, the mermaids, who had only peeked out from a distance above the surface of the water, quietly retreated with weak alertness.
Hwanin looked at the mermaids with red, yellow, green, blue, and yellow hair and summoned an improved barrier panel, put a plate on it, and slowly blew it towards the mermaids.
The mermaids become more wary, but the youngest-looking mermaid with green hair, on the contrary, shows curiosity and approaches the plate that landed on the surface and takes it.
Afterwards, Hwan-in smiled and retrieved the panel, then settled down among the girlfriends enjoying the barbecue.
And after some time
= Doryeong. I think the Harin tribe came close to the ship? You gave them something to eat, right?=
“Okay. I gave her skewers according to her head count.”
Right after he said that, as if calling him, a fist-sized water drop popped up and landed on the deck, bouncing like a tennis ball.
The Que who saw this rushed in and started playing with water balls, but the water balls did not stop and rose from the bottom one by one and fell plummeting to the deck.
When Hwanin approached the railing and showed his face, the five mermaids, who had shrunk as if they were about to run away, pushed their upper bodies out of the water and smiled brightly.
=Hello!=
=I ate the food you gave me earlier!=
=It was delicious~!=
Hwanin asked the mermaids who were smiling brightly and waving.
“Would you like some more?”
=Can you give me more?!=
=I want to eat!=
=Hey~ everyone be quiet~.=
A mermaid with red hair that wasn’t as awkward as if she had dyed her natural color calmed the other mermaids down, took out a white scallop from a seaweed bag slanted around her body, and tossed it at Hwanin.
It looks like an ordinary scallop, but when I opened it, I found a lot of fresh green seaweed inside, with a pearl the size of a pinky fingernail nestled in between.
= I heard land people like it! Therefore… Oh?!=
After returning it to the red-haired mermaid, Hwanin put the skewers that her girlfriends had grilled on a plate and put them down again.
“Since we are also eating, we have a lot of grilled skewers, so we will share them. It’s okay not to think about cases.”
=Uhh.=
The red-haired mermaid is taken aback when she receives a plate full of skewers, perhaps not expecting to return the pearl.
What to do can I just take this? The village elders told me not to trust the land humans recklessly.
At that time, Hwanyeon patted him on the shoulder from behind and pointed to the entrance of the fjord.
「Hwanin. Nagas are coming.”
As I turned my head, one of the spirits carrying out surveillance missions flew in and informed me that about 100 Nagas were approaching.
At the same time, more mermaids appeared at the entrance of the underwater cave.
Unlike the previous five mermaids who had their well-ripened breasts exposed, the 12 mermaids wore scale armor made of drop-shaped scales and held coral spears.
Among them, a mermaid with dark green hair wearing a white coral tiara shouted with a frown on her alluring face with tear spots.
=Liella! What are you doing there now?=
=Ah, Sidney. You know that… Hey, try this!=
=Isn’t this the food of land people! Take this kind of thing and eat it, take it… If you accept…=
Sydne, who was trying to shout at Liella with her eyebrows raised at the chicken skewer pushed in front of her face, swallowed her saliva as her words were clouded by the strong scent rushing into her nostrils.
The spice smell of land humans that is really hard to taste.
Even that doesn’t smell wet and damp, it’s refreshing…
=… Eight!=
Liella pushed the chicken skewer into Sydne’s mouth as she glared at her skewer.
If you eat something delicious like this, even the warriors of the village won’t be angry.
And as she expected, Sydne’s angry face is released in real time.
=… Hot?! Ugh, ah anyway!=
Mumbling, quickly chewing on a skewer and swallowing it, Sidne glared at Liella, who smiled brightly, then hit her on the small head with the spear of the coral window.
=The threat is looming, so you should retreat to the village.=
=Yes~!=
=Ng!=
Liella covered her plate with her water droplets to prevent her yakitori from getting wet, then she waved her hand at the Hwanin still standing on the ledge and she quickly disappeared to the entrance of her cave under the sea.
Four other unarmed mermaids also disappear after her, and after removing all non-combatants, Sydne stares at the white boat and the man who is leaning on the ship’s railing for a moment, then slaps him in the water with the palm of his hand.
Then, a column of water enveloped her lower body and soared high.
In an instant, Sidney, who was standing on the same level as Hwanin on the boat, lowered his head slightly and opened his mouth.
=I didn’t know land people would come here. I would like to say thank you for gifting the children with delicious food.=
“Nothing. It is our human heart to serve food to guests when they visit us during meals. Rather…”
Hwanin looked at Sydne for a moment, with neat dark green straight hair and a waterdrop-shaped teardrop on the right, then turned her head toward the back of the boat, gestured to Baeknyeogang and Immorel, and continued talking while heading toward them.
“It looks like the Nagas are coming, so let’s get them sorted out first and talk more.”
=Uh, how did you know that?=
“We also have an excellent elementalist.”
There were many water spirits, large and small, roaming near the shore as well as the fjord. Most of them were low-level spirits, but they were probably spirits that acted as spies for the mermaids.
Hwan-in looks around at the 12 mermaids who have come out.
The four of them were 4th grade jobs, and the spirit power of water was strongly felt in the 8 of them. Even if I leave it to them, they will quickly clean up about a hundred naga families coming in, but…
“Baekryeogang. Blow away any naga that show up.”
=Yes, brother!=
In order to have an amicable conversation with those mermaids, the Harin tribe, I need to show some of my skills.
While Baekryeogang opened the mystery palace and hung arrows of light on the bowstring, Hwanin summoned the two heroic spirits in an invisible state and sent them to find the Naga family’s trumpeter.
“You will see it soon.”
Immediately after the hint of fantasy, dirty things appeared at the entrance of the fjord, barely over 50m wide.
Monsters with dark scales similar to the color of a sewer, completely different from the clear water color of cobalt blue.
The three Nagami brothers, Nacus, who resembles a human head, Narga, who resembles Sabi, and Nagel, who resembles a snake.
Dozens of them came all at once, and it felt like the fjord was becoming dirty, as if excrement flowed backwards into first-class clean water.
As soon as the Naga family appeared, pushing the water with the lower body of a thickly scaled water snake, Baekryeogang began to bounce the bowstring of the Mystery Palace without mercy.
Puppy pew pew pew—
Every time the bowstring bounces, two or three arrows of light rain down, leaving a hole in the body of the Naga.
A naga with a hole in the head or heart pierced immediately flips over and floats to the surface, while a naga with a hole in another place struggles in pain, staining the clear water with red blood.
The corpses of the Nagas floated on the surface of the water and floated with blood. They looked like toxic oil strips floating on the surface of the water.
“Yurupa, can you raise a wave and send all the corpses out of the fjord?”
=Of course!=
Taking out a nicely bent staff, Yurupa stands next to Baeknyeogang, who continues to draw her bowstring, and recites a spell.
The ripples swayed as if the vibrations were amplifying, and finally became a swell wave and attacked the Naga family.
It took only 3 minutes from the time Yurpa came out to the tidal wave, but in that time, more than 60 Nagas died.
It’s all thanks to the Mystery Palace.
Normally, the speed and power of projectiles rapidly decrease as soon as they enter the water, but the Mystery Palace, which belongs to the artifact, was an object that ignored many of the general laws of physics.
The Nagas who were trying to enter the fjord and their corpses were pushed out of the fjord at once by the waves, and the Harin tribe came forward.
= Sisters! Let’s get rid of the few damn seeds left!!=
Sydne, who has jumped out of her water column, is torpedoed out of her water, and the remaining eleven mermaids follow her at similar speed.
What about Hwanyeon sitting on Hwanin’s shoulder and watching the scene with her naked eyes? He turned to the other side, and somehow he let her hair run down her back.
“Hwanin, the Haerin tribe must have originally tried to attack back and forth at the entrance of the fjord. The Harin tribe also appeared outside and attacked the Naga family who were washed away by the waves. Wow, it slices like tofu in an instant.”
Listening to her live situation, I could understand why the Harin were called the tribe of the sea.
Ordinary people who have not awakened to their professions also use water spirits to wind whirlwinds around coral spears and swim at close to 100 km/h, swinging spears at or stabbing Nagas, and the bodies of Nagas hit by the attack burst like tofu.
Ordinary Harin people are like this, but what about the professional Harin people?
In the sea, ferocious and bloody water techniques and attacks come and go, but the Harin tribe avoids most of the Naga’s attacks, and the Naga family receives all of the Harin’s attacks with their bodies.
Literally, the Harin tribes who are unmatched against the Naga family.
Hwanin looked at a spot in the sea beyond the entrance of the fjord turning red and said to her girlfriends.
“Since there will be guests arriving in a while, let’s make some more of her grilled skewers.”
