After winning the first battle, Count Wicks Targett immediately took advantage of the high morale to announce that he would reward everyone.
Not only did they distribute a large amount of fish, meat and wine to the soldiers who fought bloody battles, but they also held a banquet at the lord's mansion to entertain the priests of the major temples, adventurers and Zuo Si and his party who had contributed the most.
Although the roads on the land of Mailatma have been completely blocked and the surrounding villages and towns have been looted, meat from livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep is very scarce.
However, the trade routes on the sea and the River Is remained open.
In addition, fishing boats can go out to sea to fish, so the food supply is relatively sufficient.
At least all kinds of fish, crabs, shrimps and shellfish are available at the banquet.
No matter how much the guests eat, the servants will soon bring it out from the kitchen.
By the time it was almost dark, Zuo Si was almost full after eating, and began to think about whether there were any omissions in tonight's "Dragon Slaying Plan".
He didn't want to let Bertorgas run away after all the preparations.
"How are you, Mr. Soth? Is the food tonight to your taste?" Earl Wicks Target asked with an attentive smile on his face.
He had obviously gotten some speculation and information from the old mage, so he made a 180-degree turn in his attitude.
In fact, it was not just the lord who changed his attitude, but also other people present.
You don’t need to ask to know that this is the benefit of showing magical power in public.
Regardless of whether those people are well-intentioned or malicious, they at least dare not ignore the changes that a powerful spellcaster may bring to the city beneath their feet.
"Not bad. Compared to Calimport, which likes to use spices to cook seafood, I prefer the original and lighter taste of Mailatma." Zuo Si responded very politely.
After hearing this, Earl Wicks Targett immediately nodded in agreement and said: "You are absolutely right.
Due to the abundance of various spices, those Calishites always like to add a lot of condiments to their food.
So much so that people can’t even taste the food itself.
This is simply putting the cart before the horse!
What's even scarier is that they even added curry powder to fresh milk to create a green cheese that is easy to preserve.
By the gods!
The taste and texture of that thing is a terrible disaster!
In comparison, we in the Taser Kingdom know better how to cook delicious food.
Just like these fresh fish and shrimp, you often only need to add a little ginger to remove the fishy smell, and add a little salt to taste, and it will become a delicious dish."
"I totally agree with you!"
Zuo Si immediately reached a consensus with the count in front of him on how to cook food.
Because he himself was curious and tasted the green cheese made with curry powder that the other party mentioned once.
Then just a second later, he vomited it out regardless of the image...
The terrifying taste can no longer be described as "dark cuisine".
It may even give people the illusion that even the taste given by Ollie is stronger than this thing...
As for the "canned herring" on earth that is said to be able to smoke people to death, it is simply weak compared to this green cheese.
It is said that in Calimport, except slaves and poor people who have no choice at all, no one will eat this stuff.
The reason why they were made was mainly because the weather in Calimport was too hot.
Cheese made by ordinary methods will not last long at all.
Immediately afterwards, a "great clever" proposed to mix some relatively cheap spices together to make curry powder, and use this as a preservative to add to the cheese.
In the end, the "famous" calin fir green cheese, which is easy to store for a long time, was born.
Taking advantage of the common topic of food, Count Wicks Targett took the opportunity to get closer and kept asking around about Zuo Si's identity, true age, race, where he came from, and what his spellcasting level was.
But unfortunately, Zuo Si had already anticipated this and blocked them all calmly.
After some exchanges, the local lord did not obtain even a little bit of useful information.
In desperation, we can only change the topic back to the monster army outside the city.
"Lord Soth, are you sure you can defeat that powerful and evil red dragon tonight?"
"Of course! I'm fully prepared."
Zuo Si gave a straightforward affirmative answer.
"Do you need me to do anything?" Earl Wicks Targett continued to ask.
He believes that as long as there is no threat from the dragon, even if there are powerful monsters such as ogres, half-giants, and trolls participating in the siege, the fortifications built by Mylatma should still be able to defend it. p>
Although there may be some heavy casualties.
In addition, after losing the leadership and suppression of the red dragon, the monsters may fall apart due to internal conflicts within a few days, and the crisis will naturally be resolved.
Zuo Si shook his head gently and said meaningfully: "No, no need. I guarantee that the red dragon that appeared over the city during the day will never see the sunrise tomorrow morning."
……
At the same time, in the monster camp far outside the city.
Bertorgas was lying on the clearing in the woods, glaring with two lava-like eyes, staring at Wilmes who remained in human form.
After about a minute, he suddenly asked: "Did you deliberately invite me to deal with him because you knew there was a powerful mage in Mailatma City?"
"Oh? Did you find it?"
Wilmes raised his eyebrows deliberately, pretending to be very surprised.
"Of course! In today's siege, that guy used several super magic techniques in succession - the instant spells [Fireball Technique] and [Stinky Cloud Technique].
If I hadn't been alert enough, I would have been violently attacked by magic once I dived down.
You damn bastard! You actually want to plot against me?"
Bertorgas roared with rage.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party is a red dragon like me, and she is also a female that I have pursued and wanted to have offspring with.
Now I guess I have jumped directly to start a fight...
But Wilmes curled his lips indifferently and retorted with a sneer: "A plot? What kind of plot is this? Do you think that 40% of the treasures in Mailatma City are so easy to get? If this city
If you can be captured so easily, why would I ask you to share the treasure? Stop dreaming!"
"I request that the distribution be readjusted! Not only must the ratio be adjusted to one person and half! You must also join me in the attack. Only by working together can we defeat that mage,"
Bertorgas has obviously not been carried away by his anger.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that the other party did not have any motive to plot against you. At best, they just concealed some important information.
This is a relatively common operation in the internal cooperation and transactions between red dragons.
"Forty-five percent at most!"
"Fifty! It must be fifty! Don't even think about continuing to bargain with me!"
After a short period of bargaining, the two red dragons once again reached a new agreement on sharing the spoils.
But what Bertorgas doesn't know is that he may not be able to get half of Mylatma's wealth in his lifetime.
Because Wilmes has received Zuo Si's magical message.
I will take action tonight to kill this "scapegoat" and the monsters outside the city, and completely clean up the mess caused by the weird things in her mind.
Of course, as an excellent "conspirator", Wilmes will not just wait.
She has asked the leaders and chiefs who are controlled by the strange objects to add large amounts of purified ricin to all alcoholic beverages.
Excluding trolls, which cannot be killed with toxins, other monsters will probably fall in pieces within a few hours and become meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered.
It is estimated that after all these monsters are dead, the area around Mylatma will not have to worry too much about safety issues for more than ten years. ..
