Chapter 17 Again

The silence of the mages will not affect the arrival of lunch, but the arrival of the lunch temporarily broke the silence of the mages. A plate of meat, a few small plates of wild vegetables, a small jar of mushroom broth, a small bucket of aperitif and a small bucket of ordinary red wine formed a sumptuous lunch. Seeing this, Shaoke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I guess what else can I come up with during this period of meal!"

"Okay, mages, let's start this late lunch first!" Then, he picked up the small bucket of aperitif and placed it on the wooden stake that served as the dining table. "Take out your wine glass! Let's often make the wine better this time." Shaoke said, while placing himself in the deer-skin bag, silver goblet made from the box made of Wuxiang wooden, and took out the knife, fork, spoon, and small plate for dining. Of course, these are also silver utensils.

Not to mention this is a bad taste of Shaoke. Since I read novels before, I found that silver utensils could always detect whether the food was poisoned. Therefore, after entering this world, I customized these tableware under a strange mentality. This does not mean that he now has a truly noble idea.

After Shaoke placed his own tableware, he poured wine for the two mages; "Master Yijia, your glass is really beautiful!" "Master Qia, you should also have a glass." "Thank you, Master Xueye." Master Qia's wine glass is jade-like. "Master Yijia's wine glass is good. If it is filled with red wine, even the most ordinary ones will be quite good." Shaoke thought to himself, "I know, I'm lazy to use these bargains, although it is relatively expensive in this world."

After the three of them spoke to each other, they started this lunch casually. Perhaps it was because of the two wizards' excitement due to different moods! Most of the Er Xiaokong's wine came into their mouths.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of alcohol that Master Yijia gradually let go and was no longer silent as before. Although he did not talk again during this period, Shaoko still felt that the atmosphere was getting better. The cooked pieces of meat were quickly swept away by the hungry mages, and most of the broth was drunk.

Master Kiya rubbed his swelling belly regardless of his image and sighed: "I have eaten so much this time. Master Xueye, there is no problem with drinking so much wine!"

"Don't worry, Master Kia, you don't need to worry about anything. In fact, if you drink a small bucket of Branni, nothing will happen, as long as you drink it." Shaoko shook the red wine in the glass with some satisfaction and sipped it in one sip. Even if this is the most ordinary wine and wants to drink some white wine, unfortunately, the captain who led the team will not prepare even the lowest-grade rum for the mages with a rigorous attitude. "In fact, it is good for us to drink some wines a little, but the rest of the wine cannot be consumed in a large amount for a long time. Only the wine made from these grapes can slightly purify the quality of the spirit. Well! But the time is at least one day."

"Oh! No wonder those high-level mages always drink a glass of wine when they eat." Master Yijia, who looked slightly cheerful, took over his words as if he was enlightened: "Thank you, Master Xueye, I feel much better now."

"Haha! That's good, look at Master Kiya's worried look." Shaoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "If you still can't think it out, I have no choice, fortunately!"

In the afternoon, the mages began to get busy again. Two mages who had just experienced the first battle were lying on wooden stakes and kept recording something with quills. Shaoke casually leaned against the bedside and looked at the book, adding some firewood from time to time to maintain the temperature in the camp. Everyone was busy until the evening, and the peace was broken by the doctor who came to deliver the meal.

"Dear mages, I have sent someone to come here for dinner. I'm sorry to disturb your work." The doctor performed rituals with the mages in confusion and said to Master Kia: "Mages Chia, aren't you going to visit me? Do you have time after dinner? I want to ask you some questions."

Master Kia put down the pen in his hand with a embarrassed look: "I'm not so busy after dinner. I forgot the time. You know, I want to see how you deal with those furs."

"That's great, Master Kia, then I'll go out first. It's snowing outside and then I'll ask a soldier to take you there later. I guess you don't know where I'm in the camp!" The young doctor then said goodbye and left, braved the wind and snow to return to his and his father's camp.

After eating a small bread, Shaoke didn't want to eat it anymore and was not hungry now. Then he moved to the fire pit, placed a small copper pot filled with clear water on a shiny firewood stand, and found some tea unique to the world and put it in and cooked it. Although he did not like drinking tea like this, the types of tea or similar beverages in this world that can be found cannot be brewed with boiling water. This is the conclusion that he only came to after experimenting many times.

After doing this, Shaoko took the book, moved a wooden stake to the fire pit, and started to look at it in the light of the fire. After Master Kia said goodbye to his companions, he asked a soldier to visit the doctor's tent. However, Master Yijia sat cross-legged on the bed, as if he was thinking about something. As for Shaoko's opinion, it was mainly because he did not have any magic or fluctuations in his mental power, unless he had special meditation skills.

There was only the sizzling sound of the copper pot and the sound of flipping books in the tent, and the faint fragrance of tea slowly filled this not too small warm space. During this period, the captain rushed over and discussed tomorrow's itinerary with Shaoke. After the captain refused the mages' invitation to stay, the tent returned to tranquility.

Master Kia didn't come back until almost midnight. As soon as he came in, he complained: "Oh my God! Doctor Ino is so enthusiastic. If it weren't for the third person left in his tent, I think I wouldn't have come back tonight. That would have stayed with a bunch of untreated furs overnight. Although it was very warm, it was not inferior to him here. It was really scary." Master Kia ended his understanding of Doctor Ino with a sentence that was really scary. These kind complaints attracted the kind laughter of his companions.

"We should go to rest early, maybe we will encounter large-scale monsters tomorrow!" Master Yijia's red face looked very unnatural under the light of the fire.

"Master Yijia, your suggestions are very correct. After all, none of us can understand what will happen tomorrow. Only by maintaining sufficient physical strength and energy is the most correct choice." Shaoke felt very surprised and relieved. He believed that Master Yijia would probably be able to use it tomorrow, or even longer, but unexpectedly, he recovered his courage so quickly, which is not surprising.

The mages all agreed with the suggestion of the shy mage. After meditating on a magical spell together, everyone decided to rest.

The next day, before dawn, the mages got up early. After the morning class, the three of them went around the camp to check the operation of the warning arrays. As usual, the magic powder should be supplemented. They need to be re-drawn. They also found new carriers to draw. Although the workload is not large, it is quite a waste of time and tediousness. Fortunately, the two new mages were more skillful in maintaining this zero-level magic array than yesterday, which reduced Shaoke's work tasks a lot.

After all this was over, the soldiers also got up. Many fires were lit by the soldiers in the open space in the camp. Pieces of meat were thrown into the boiling iron pot, piles of wild vegetables were fried with excess water during the cooking of oil, and the snow-white flour was poured out of the wooden barrel, kneaded into small pieces of bread, placed on an oil-coated iron grill to roast. During this period, the soldiers talked about the dreams of last night in groups, braised with cowhides with each other, hoping that they could get better today.

In the lively camp, everyone quickly ate breakfast. Yesterday, the soldiers left behind found several nests of bird eggs, and many of them that were not yet flashy, and this time they supplemented the mages. This made Shaoke, who had already hated bread, enjoy a lot of appetite.

Since we had already discussed today's march route yesterday and planned not to camp at noon so as to explore more and farther distances, we brought enough distances when we set out this time to avoid not having enough food at noon. This time, they planned to set off from the other direction of the camp and draw an arc to return to the camp. In order to avoid being affected during the battle, Shaoke sorted out his carry-on skin and placed items that he didn't need in the camp to reduce the weight on his body. He did not worry about the loss of items. The wizard's camp tent had no soldiers to enter casually. He also told the other two wizards why they did this.

With the consent of the captain, there was one more person in the team than yesterday, and the young Doctor Ino, who always made everyone happy. His father, the old Doctor and the other thirty soldiers remained in the camp under the leadership of a small team leader, and they were still collecting some medicinal materials and magic plants around them.

Dr. Ino excitedly shouted to everyone: "See, have you seen it? This team still needs me. If I don't set out with you, you will not collect those medicinal materials for me." In the eyes of my father, Dr. Ino immediately changed his words: "No, if I don't follow you, if you are injured, such a long distance may cause everyone's pain due to the inadequate treatment. Oh! No! I don't want you to be injured. No matter what, this team needs me to set out with you."
