V1.Chapter 96

"That's right!"

Aladdin took a deep breath of his pipe, opened his mouth and exhaled a fist-shaped smoke ring, with an extremely rich expression, and said solemnly: "At that time, there were a whole twenty terrifying ogres surrounding me, and their arms all had my waist. So thick, holding such a big mace in his hand, and the fierce wind when waving it is very scary, if you accidentally hit my head, you will be smashed by them..."

Holding his pipe, he stretched out his hand and gestured with the mace, and pretended to feel a cold sweat. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. I tried desperately to dodge under their attack, and several times It was wiping the corner of my clothes and swiping it. But thanks to the goddess of luck, these slow big guys still didn't hit me. On the contrary, I scratched their thighs with a short sword.  … A wooden barrel... so I ran to it desperately..."

"This difficult battle went on for a long time!... Finally, these cumbersome guys were exhausted, and I was knocked down one by one.... Hmm. Then I left the ogre's lair calmly...."

I have to say that his storytelling is very good.

Although he knew he was bragging, Sauron couldn't help but find it interesting, and even Gloria leaned over and listened to his bragging with interest. The number of twenty ogres deducted from the water, at most four or five, may be because of their small stature, and halflings like to use exaggerated metaphors to describe them. Vivienne on the side listened very seriously. The little girl liked to hear stories told, especially the halfling was about the same height as her. It also sounds very immersive. Stories of halflings are popular among human children because they can imagine themselves as halflings in battle.

Time passed so quickly.

It may be because of the addition of a very lively halfling, and he seemed a lot happier along the way. From time to time, he would tell Vivian some stories of his past adventures. Although the content of the stories was exaggerated, it could be seen that he really did. I have traveled to many places and encountered many difficult characters. Sauron could not judge the opponent's professional level. However, it seems that Aladdin should be a wanderer above the third rank, and seems to be good at mechanism making and alchemy, because he also gave Vivian several exquisite gadgets.

They are all things made with alchemy and mechanical skills. at dusk.

Sauron untied the horses and let them graze while preparing dinner.

Aladdin volunteered to stand up, expressing that he would like to let them taste the craftsmanship of the gourmets who have traveled around the world. Sauron missed the food made by halflings a little, looked at Vivian's eager expression next to him, and nodded in agreement. There is a river next to the foothold. The halfling quickly took out a few sticks from the bag and assembled a fishing rod in the blink of an eye. He first set up a campfire, took out a small pot and put it in water, and took out some mushrooms and spices.

"It was picked by the way in the woods today. I tasted it and it was delicious."

Aladdin poured a small packet of fine table salt into it. Then he took the fishing rod and walked to the river, and said as he walked: "Just wait for me for a while. When the soup boils, I will catch the fish. I am a fishing master in my hometown."…

Vivian followed him curiously, and Gloria came to the side with great interest.

Aladdin looked at the little girl beside him. He smiled and said, "Do you want to try it? I still have a fishing rod here!"

"Yeah." Vivian nodded quickly.

So the halfling took out a few other sticks, reassembled a fishing rod and handed it to the little girl. Vivian held the fishing rod with Bai Shengsheng's small hands, and hung the bait on it like Aladdin. into Hanoi.

The halfling looked back at the bonfire, sat by the river and continued to brag: "In my hometown of Shire, a fishing competition is held every autumn, and the first place can get a very good prize. Basically, as long as I am in my hometown , the champion of the fishing competition must be me. So when those guys heard that I was going on a trip, they immediately became overjoyed, and they were gearing up to win this year's fishing competition. "

Sauron didn't know how many halflings he had heard bragging about being the champion of the fishing contest.

He probably won the championship of the fishing competition, and it is difficult to say whether it is him every year. Besides, the fishing competition is a part of the Halfling Autumn Festival, and every halfling village will hold such a competition.

Halfling Aladdin was still talking about his most brilliant record, and he had caught a lot of fish. Vivian's float had moved a bit, and the excited little girl immediately clenched her fishing rod and whispered, "Gloria. Sister! Come here quickly! The fish is hooked!"

Gloria didn't seem to have caught much fish before, so she walked behind her with great interest and said softly, "Don't worry, wait a while, you haven't caught the bait yet."

The noble northern witch naturally seldom prepares food by herself. If she needs to eat fish, someone must bring it right away.

"Don't rush."

Aladdin glanced at this side, and immediately said in surprise: "Good luck little girl, slow down, it looks like a big fish."

Sauron is preparing to grill the fish over the fire.

Vivian's shouts suddenly came from the river. Her small body was dragged by the fishing rod and took two steps forward. Gloria next to her immediately reached out and hugged her, and then both of them began to growl. He screamed, and the halfling beside him was also shouting, saying something slowly, put it down a bit and then pull it over a little bit. Sauron glanced over there with a smile, and then walked over slowly. Vivian's cute little face was flushed red and her breathing was a little messy. The river fish raised it in front of Sauron with a treasured expression on his face, and said excitedly, "Look, brother! Vivian caught a big fish!"

The fish probably weighed close to a pound.

Such a big river fish has a lot of strength in the water. It is not so easy to catch it. The fishing line will break if it is not handled properly. Sauron glanced at Gloria next to him and noticed the curvature of the corner of her mouth. It is to understand that she has used the hand of the mage, or else she will not be able to catch it without a little skill.

Sauron reached out and touched her little head, took the river fish and said, "Vivian is great! It's up to you today!"

The little girl nodded happily, her little face full of joy.

She's always easy to satisfy, and it's just a few fun little things that can keep her happy for a long time.

Sauron pulled out his dagger and opened the fish's belly. Vivian continued to fish very seriously, and whispered softly that the fish would be hooked quickly. I wonder if she was very lucky, but she came to the second place right away. fish. On the contrary, Aladdin, who had been bragging about the record for a long time, didn't catch a single fish. When the little girl caught the third fish, his face finally became unbearable.

I saw him put down the fishing rod and jumped into the river with a thud, and there was no trace for a while, and then a head appeared, grabbed a big fish in his hand, and raised it high towards Vivienne, Haha laughed: "I got it! Caught it!"

The two people present were suddenly speechless.

There wasn't much they could eat. The halfling put away the fishing rod, and seeing the little girl's unfinished look, he simply gave her another fishing rod.

Then he started preparing dinner, taking packets of seasonings out of his pocket.

Part of it was used to boil fish soup, and the other part was used to grill fish. Sauron even smelled a scent similar to cumin. Halflings were the best at cooking, and many rare seasonings were only available in their hands. I have to say that his craftsmanship is really good. This meal should be the most delicious meal Sauron has eaten since he came to this world. Vivian ate so much that her stomach was bulging, and Gloria also tasted a lot. It seems that his title of gourmet is not bragging, and his cooking skills are definitely master-level.

This is the third day of the trip.

Sauron met a halfling gourmet who was destined to a high mountain fort, ready to taste the iron dwarves' firework wine.

They will walk to Fallen Leaf City, and then part ways. )
