Chapter 30: Chapter 30
The total population of Oran does not seem to be too small or too large for a small place like Oran. When the sales speed of goods in the department store slows down slightly, the crowd no longer rushes like they did during the opening days.
After the supply of goods became stable, Ryan prepared to organize a convoy for a routine large-scale spring hunt.
The goal is for the male to eat meat, and the female to be taken home and raised, and the pregnancy will be decided based on the situation.
Although it was not yet time to set off, the members of the improvised hunting team had already gathered at the designated location in a disciplined manner after having an exclusive breakfast at the Oran Food Store. They were the last of yesterday's escort team.
The top twenty in the assessment.
Wally, Al, and Toby are all among them, as well as the additional new investigator Asa.
I originally thought that I could win the position of captain with a high probability, but what neither Al nor Toby expected was that at the last moment of the assessment, Demong, who had been hiding his strength, suddenly appeared.
Demon, who was already a junior warrior, became the new captain of the guard, but he had never mentioned his true strength. Many people found it incredible that he could become the captain of the guard, including his
Brother Nan is included.
But most people were surprised by Ryan, surprised that he would hand over the position of captain of the escort so easily, and he was still a young man. As for Nan, he was surprised that Demon, who aspired to become a top warrior, actually
would choose to take over this position.
Demon is about 180cm tall, slightly shorter than Andrew. However, he has just grown up and Demon has a tall frame. It can be seen that he will be very tall in the future. His facial features are three-dimensional and his eyebrows are slightly childish. He has a golden hair.
Short hair, hot on the outside and cold on the inside.
Ryan never judged a person based on his age or appearance. On the contrary, he felt that young people were more energetic. The true strength demonstrated by Demon in the final moment of the assessment, combined with his age, made both Ryan and Andrew feel that this person
Very potential.
The moment Ryan announced that Demon was the new captain of the guard and gave Demon the sword of Kebitos to Demon.
On the panel above Demon's head, his loyalty to Ryan surged from 1 to 60.
After selecting the captain, Andrew, who had trained this group of people for more than ten days, gave Ryan a suggestion, saying that he could try to let Wally, who is cold on the outside but hot on the inside, take over the position of vice-captain temporarily. The two personalities could complement each other.
Ryan agreed to Andrew's suggestion, and while giving Wally the Sword of Kebitos, he also announced his newly formulated rules among the guards.
Official members of the Guard can challenge the captain and vice-captain every three months. The challenge method is determined by Ryan. Those who succeed in the challenge can replace the captain and vice-captain and take over their exclusive captain's weapons.
When Ryan took out two new swords, even though he was an intermediate greatsword warrior, for some reason Andrew, who was a poor man, was almost jealous to death.
Even he is like this, let alone the guys in the escort team.
At the designated gathering place, Demon and Wally led the two teams of 10 people respectively.
Asa rested under a nearby tree with his eyes closed, recalling the reconnaissance skills that Andrew taught him privately. Al hung the broken iron sword behind his back, looked up at his new captain and asked: "Captain Demon, can I touch it?"
Touch your sword?"
"certainly--"
Demon touched his waist. When he got the Sword of Kebitos yesterday, he paid someone to make the scabbard. When Al asked this question, he deliberately prolonged the tail tone and looked at the expectant Al and smiled.
He shook his head: "No."
Sometimes talents that are not available can stimulate people's potential more, and things that you like can also be used as rewards.
Demon knows this very well. Since he is the captain, he must fulfill his responsibilities.
Al curled his lips, a little disappointed, "Captain, you are so stingy."
But if it were him, Al felt that he might be more stingy than Demon, and he would have to show off in front of others.
"Everything else can be discussed, except this matter. A suitable weapon is the second life of a warrior, and this sword is particularly suitable for me."
Demon patted him on the shoulder, smiled and encouraged: "Come on, I'm waiting for you to challenge me in three months."
Wally, Al and Toby are all strong men in the escort team. If Demon had not become a junior warrior, maybe the captain position would not be his.
Al clenched his fist and said, "Then just wait, I will definitely beat you!"
He just beat Demon at breakfast, and he ate more food.
When Al thought about breakfast, he couldn't help but lick his lips silently. The breakfast that is not yet sold at Oran Food Store is so delicious. It's great to be able to stay in the escort!
Toby, who was standing in Wally's team, clenched his fists when he heard this. Looking at Wally, his eyes were burning with fighting spirit, "I will challenge you in three months."
He just barely beat Wally in the assessment battle, but Wally's fighting style was really too fierce.
There was a wound under Wally's eye, which was caused by a fight during yesterday's assessment. When he heard Toby's words, his eyes were extremely calm, "I'm waiting for you."
Andrew, who was still holding several bags of fried buns in his hand, was very satisfied with their fighting spirit. He bit into a mouthful of fried buns filled with meat fillings, looked sideways at the castle, and happened to meet Ryan's eyes as he came over.
"Good day, my dear Lord Lane."
Andrew was not afraid of being burned. He swallowed the juicy fried dumplings in his mouth in a few mouthfuls, and happily raised his hand to greet Ryan, "You are also very..."
When it came to the description, he hesitated for a moment. When Ryan looked at him with doubtful eyes, Andrew clapped his hands and continued: "You are also very beautiful and kind today. In addition, thank you very much for the breakfast. I feel it is very special."
It’s delicious, do you want to try it too?”
His praise was sincere and sincere. Andrew had heard many people say that Ryan was a kind-hearted person with a soft heart.
Andrew couldn't help but think to himself, if he praised Ryan more sincerely, would Ryan also give him a handy weapon?
Although he felt that he might be wishful thinking, Andrew had never seen such a kind lord as Ryan.
Although Oran is poor, Ryan is much better off than the lords where Andrew lives, not to mention that he can eat delicious love fruit and potato dishes for free every day here.
Ryan: "..."
Ryan looked at the fried buns he handed over and refused with a smile: "Mr. Andrew, thank you very much for your compliments and kindness, but I have already eaten it."
Although I have never seen anyone praise others for their kindness in the morning, he is indeed very kind.
Andrew nodded, retracted his outstretched hand very naturally, lowered his head and opened his mouth to easily bite down half of the fried bun in his hand.
He could eat ten of these fried buns in the morning!
Seeing Ryan coming, the members of the escort also stopped communicating.
Demon and Wally immediately organized the two teams, stood neatly in front of Ryan, looked at Ryan very seriously, and loudly shouted the slogan they had prepared: "Good day, respected Lord Ryan, you are O
The hope of Oran, you are the light of Oran! I will pursue your will and move forward bravely, without fear!"
"Good day."
Ryan was a little nervous because of their compliments. After saying hello, he turned his head and coughed, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard for so many days of training. Let's go to the forest to relax today. By the way,
Check your overall coordination."
Demon, Wally: "Not hard!"
Everyone echoed loudly, "It's not hard work!"
The attitude is very firm.
Ryan: "..."
What does this make him do?
System: "Have you not already decided what you are going to do today?"
Ryan: “Bah.”
Ryan gently clapped his palms, thought for a few seconds and looked at the two hunting teams at the same time and said: "I know that some people must be unconvinced in yesterday's assessment. You can also treat today's hunting as a competition. Which team will gain the final harvest?"
At most, when they return, everyone in that team can bring their families and enjoy a delicious meal at Oran Food Store for free at any time."
Ryan: "Whether it is herbs, fruits and vegetables, wild birds, wild bird eggs, wild beasts, or magical beasts, they are all counted in the harvest. In the end, we only calculate the total value of the goods for that team. Do you understand?"
Demon, Wally and everyone said at the same time, "I understand!"
Ryan nodded with satisfaction, "Very good."
After Ryan finished speaking, Algao raised his hand and asked: "Dear Lord, if I win, can I go to Oran Food Store tonight? In addition, will the new menu that will be changed today be free?
"
Although he and Toby's father are taking care of the farmland and processing plant, who dares to steal food?
Al just ate some leftovers that his father gave him to taste in the morning before going to Oran Food Store for delivery, but he still thought it was super delicious. Moreover, Manny had already released news about new dishes and department stores.
The new product can be used for beauty. His neighbor and his companions queued up outside the two stores in the morning.
Ryan smiled and nodded: "Of course."
The cost is planted in the soil anyway, the money has already been spent, so I don’t care about such a small amount.
He is very easy to talk to.
Andrew was stunned as he bit into the pan-fried bun, "Will there be new dishes in Olan Food Store today?"
Although Ryan hired him, the reward Andrew needed were herbs and materials.
Damn it, he is almost out of money!
Seeing him like this, Ryan immediately said: "You will lead both teams. No matter which side wins, you can go."
Isn’t this the chance to gain favor?
There are no mid-level warriors in his territory. Except for Ryan himself, who is a mid-level magician, even in the Adventurer's Guild, the strongest ones are only junior warriors and junior mages.
Andrew was so moved, with non-existent tears in his eyes, "You are so kind!"
Ryan blinked quietly, walked to Andrew and whispered to him: "But are you sure you want to go to Oran Food Store tonight?"
Andrew: "?"
understood!
There must be something else delicious tonight!
Andrew praised sincerely from the bottom of his heart: "You are truly the kindest person I have ever met in the world!"
Wow, how can there be such a good lord!
"Thanks."
Ryan accepted the compliment generously, then raised his head and glanced at the sky, "It's getting late, we should set off."
Demong saw the horses led by the manservant, and then he realized what he was doing. He turned his head and respectfully asked Ryan with bright eyes: "Are you going to get up too?"
"Yes."
Ryan waved his hand to reject the manservant lying on the ground, turned over and sat on the horse, "I will go hunting with you too."
After hearing this, everyone made a decision in their hearts and must give their best performance in the hunt.
There were not many horses. Except for Ryan, who had a celestial bird resting on his shoulder and was riding a flaming horse, and Andrew was riding on the horse in front of Moses, the other members of the escort team all rode horses together.
This time there was no need for Moses to lead the way haphazardly. Under Demon's leadership, they quickly arrived at the forest.
They had finished eating the pan-fried buns on the way, and Andrew was responsible for protecting Ryan's safety. After Ryan gave the order, Demon and Wally each led the team and separated a few people to look for wild bird eggs, while the rest gathered not far from Ryan.
Group hunting occurs everywhere.
Approaching the center of the forest along the edge, Demon was the first to spot the prey. After reporting it to Ryan, he surrounded and pursued it with his companions.
Andrew looked sideways at Ryan, "Do you have a hunting target?"
It's not in line with Andrew's character to come here and do nothing, and he didn't feel the aura of high-level monsters around here. The lord himself is an intermediate magician, so there is no need for him to protect him at all times. If Ryan wants something, as long as there is someone nearby
Andrew can get it.
Ryan, who wanted everything, thought carefully for a few seconds, turned his head and said to Andrew: "How about you and I go around first, and I'll see what prey is nearby."
Andrew nodded and replied: "No problem, which way do you want to go first?"
"Hold on……"
Ryan responded and asked the system in his mind: "Sir, have you detected any good prey nearby? I mean the ones that are more valuable or can be tamed and raised."
"As long as you spend money, all prey can be easily tamed."
The system detects the terrain with Lane as the center, and after a few seconds continues to reply in the mind: "At 11 o'clock on your left, there is a large group of tusked pigs, and on the right at 3 o'clock, there is a pile of weeds over there.
There are a group of crack-toothed rabbits hidden inside, and further away, there are several super magical beasts and fruit birds on the trees."
These are not the directions in which the Guardians are hunting.
"Forget it about flowers, fruits and birds. They all fly up the trees. I don't know how to control sexual magic."
Ryan touched his knuckles, "So which one has better meat, the tusk pig or the crack-tooth rabbit?"
System: "The meat quality of Tusker pigs is better, but the taste is more fishy and the growth cycle is longer. However, an adult female Cleft-tooth rabbit can give birth to cubs in 20-25 days, with a litter of at least 10-23 babies. The baby rabbits
It only takes three months to mature."
Ryan, who doesn't eat rabbits, was somewhat moved, "Is it easy to raise them?"
System: "You can hire the Wild Soul and Pangdudu at that time. The Wild Soul can suppress the ferocity of animals and accelerate the growth of animals. Pangdudu can make the animals grow stronger."
Ryan immediately turned his head and looked at Andrew, "Let's go to the right and take a look."
According to the system, this rabbit is simply the best choice for the current source of meat. In this short period of time, Ryan has already thought about the next new products of Olan Department Store and Olan Food Store.
When he gets back, he will plant a batch of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.
The spicy three combo of spicy rabbit head, spicy shredded rabbit, and spicy cold rabbit will be available in a while!
Although Ryan himself does not eat rabbit meat, it was so popular in his previous life, and it will definitely be very popular here.
After all, Oran people love eating meat.
After tying the horse's reins to the tree and walking in the direction pointed by Ryan, Andrew sensed the presence of a creature nearby.
Andrew raised a finger, put it on his lips and hissed slightly at Ryan, then walked lightly, found the footprints on the ground, took out the giant sword from behind, flipped his wrist, and slashed cleanly into the grass on the right.
Arc-shaped sword energy.
The translucent sword energy broke through the grass, and Andrew ran after him. When he quickly left and came back, he was carrying a gray rabbit about 2 meters long with buck-toothed front teeth in his hand and walked towards Ryan.
.
The sword slashed his throat, and his blood dyed his fur red.
Ryan touched his neck, looked at the ferocious-looking rabbit, and slowly flapping its hind legs, and asked Andrew: "Is this thing still alive?"
Good guy, these rabbit teeth almost take up two-thirds of the entire face. Although the rabbit head is quite big, will the spicy rabbit head really not scare the children?
"He probably won't survive."
Andrew put the sword into the scabbard with his clean hands and exclaimed, "If you want to catch one alive, then I will catch one for you now. There are so many of them everywhere, but the smell of this crack-tooth rabbit
It's smelly and smelly, and the meat isn't very tasty. When I get the chance, I'll catch some Dudu chickens for you. The meat will be delicious and won't smell at all."
Ryan shook his head, stretched out his hand and tried to press on the rabbit's leg: "If there is a peculiar smell, it should be handled incorrectly."
Super strong, those legs are full of muscles!
Ryan had eaten bacon made by Bunier. Because there was no suitable seasoning, he could only add a lot of salt.
"I know some new ways to cook cracktooth rabbit, and I also have some special spices on hand to remove the odor."
Ryan looked at Andrew and continued, "If you can, please catch a few more cleft-toothed rabbits, both males and females are the best. I want to go back and try to see if I can keep them in captivity."
If the Cleft-Tooth Rabbit can be cooked cleanly, then Oran Food Store will be able to sell cheap meat.
Nowadays, the skills of chefs are generally poor. No matter which territory they are in, spices that can improve the taste of food are extremely precious.
Hearing Ryan mention the new cooking and remembering the wonderful taste of the barbecue before, Andrew couldn't help but pursed his lips, threw the rabbit and said loudly: "Then wait a moment, I'll go right away."
Andrew has no idea about Ryan's idea of raising Cleft-Tooth Rabbits. After all, whether humans or dwarves, many places have the habit of raising wild beasts, but only the orcs are the most proficient in the method, and the beasts they raise are not only strong, but also
It is rare to get sick.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Ryan said "Hello", extravagantly used magic to form a hand, grabbed the dead Cleft-Tooth Rabbit and followed behind Andrew.
Cleft-toothed rabbits are very clever animals. They do not have strong attack power. They usually have multiple males and females. They live in bushes and the holes dug by themselves in the ground. The biggest threat to the enemy is their huge pair of front teeth.
.
Andrew held the hilt of the sword with both hands and moved forward slowly, following the flow of air to sense the nearby environment.
Although intermediate warriors cannot completely hide their aura like thieves and assassins, Andrew also has his own unique method of integrating with the environment.
To avoid disturbing the other party, Ryan was neither close nor far from Andrew's position and carefully observed Andrew's hunting method.
Although the previous movement of the sword drove away many wild beasts, the quiet environment also made it easier for creatures to relax their vigilance... Soon, Andrew did not wait too long, and there was finally movement in the bushes on the right.
Hidden in the earth hole under the lush weeds, first the long white ears quietly poked out, then a half-sized Cleft-Tooth Rabbit poked out its head, and then half of its body.
Until the whole body of the Cleft-tooth Rabbit jumped out of the hole, and took a few more steps outside. No threat was found when looking around, and then it went back into the hole. After a while, two larger Cleft-tooth Rabbits,
Leading a group of small crack-toothed rabbits, they carefully emerged from the soil hole and tried to find fresh grass and succulent plant roots not far away.
The bite force of the Cracktooth Rabbit is very strong, and it can easily break bones with its full force, but this poses no threat to Andrew.
When all the rabbits came out of their nests and lowered their heads to gnaw on plant roots, a large stone suddenly fell from a high tree, completely sealing the entrance to the hole.
The two big cleft-toothed rabbits were the first to react, making strange noises like mice, and trying to escape to the other cave entrances while protecting the smaller cleft-toothed rabbits.
However, immediately after the stone fell to the ground, a sword hilt was struck horizontally.
Andrew held the scabbard and knocked the rabbits unconscious with a few bangs. Then Andrew held a large animal skin bag and packed almost all the small cracktooth rabbits into the bag. Then he pulled the rope and tightened the mouth of the bag.
The caught little rabbits kept kicking around in the bag, and the few little rabbits that escaped could not escape Andrew's clutches in the end.
Andrew cleaned up the nest of cleft-tooth rabbits, then twisted the bag full of little rabbits in his left hand, held a sword in his right hand and cut off half of the big cleft-tooth rabbit's front teeth, and finally twisted the ears of the two rabbits and strode
Walk towards Ryan.
Ryan, who was shocked by the speed of Andrew's series of tricks, had not yet reacted, but Andrew had already walked up to him with great success.
Ryan's eyes were full of amazement: "You are so fast."
This was too fast, and it was over before I even felt it.
system:"?"
People with slightly better families will not eat cleft-toothed rabbits, which is why they are so prevalent.
Hearing Ryan's compliment, Andrew rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, "I gained experience by catching a lot when I was a kid. There were all these things near where I used to live."
Then he pulled out several strong hays on the ground, mixed them with slender animal skins, and tied up the two live Cleft-tooth rabbits and the dead Cleft-tooth rabbit. After confirming that they could not escape, he hung them on his white horse.
on the back.
Then Andrew turned his head and looked at Ryan: "If you want to raise them, just two big rabbits shouldn't be enough. Can I catch some more for you?"
"That's really great."
Ryan smiled broadly and said, "It's really troublesome for you."
It only cost a small amount of money to hire a talented person like Andrew and it was really worth it.
The divided hunting teams were working together to hunt down a group of large, docile beasts. Andrew followed the same method and had already caught three pairs of large cleft-tooth rabbits, as well as nearly a hundred small rabbits.
Ryan, who had nothing to do, followed Andrew around the area. He saw a large tree about ten meters high, with many green fruits hanging on the crown.
Ryan walked over on horseback, looked up at the top of the tree and asked in his mind: "Are these fruits lemons? They look quite similar."
It's the same oval shape, but a little too small.
System: "This kind of fruit is called sour fruit, and its taste is many times more sour than lemon. It can be used in cooking, and it can also have a certain degree of sterilization."
Ryan thought about it for a few seconds: "Isn't that just natural vinegar?"
The author has something to say: I woke up late, almost missed the 12 o'clock update, and it was too late to catch bugs!
But the pan-fried buns are really delicious!
I ate Xiao Long Bao today, but not only did the price of this store increase, the taste was not as good as before. I will try it at another store next time.
It’s hard to say when tomorrow’s update will be. It may be late or early. If it’s updated later, the update should be more than 6,000.
Anyway, go for it!
Chapter completed!
