Chapter 15

When Viktor and his party got off the wagon, a simple but orderly camp had been built.

The camp is built in an open area along the road. The ground has been simply leveled, and the shrubs on the ground have been cut down. These newly cut shrubs are still wet and can not be directly used as fuel. Therefore, people cut the shrubs and insert them on the ground obliquely, and make a simple defensive fence around the camp.

When the camp is pulled out the next day, these fences will be removed and taken away as fences or fuel for the next camp.

Camping in the wild in this world, no matter how careful, is worth it. This is the experience of human beings in exchange for blood and life.

Some fully armed mercenaries led the militia armed with five meter spears to patrol the periphery of the camp. Close combat is too dangerous for the militia who lack martial skills, and the spear is easy to learn. If several well-trained militia cooperate, they can even subdue an 800 pound male bear with a spear.

Led by Nelson, Victor and his guests came to the camp center. A simple shed has been built here, which will be the place where victor will entertain guests for dinner.

"Master, it's a little simple. Please forgive me." Victor smiled at Edwin.

"Ha ha, Victor, we white tower scholars are all experts in camping. This camp is much better than my previous camping conditions." Edwin didn't think so. In fact, although the scholars of Baita are noble children, they often move in the wild because of their research needs. They are really not greenhouse flowers.

Just then, a clear voice sounded nearby.

"Here you are, my Lord."

Victor looked up, but saw that the young and beautiful Lilia was looking at him with this expectation in joy. It seemed that she had built the shed.

Victor smiled at Lilia and said, "fortunately, Lilia. Did you choose this camp? Is there any problem?"

"My Lord, I'm waiting to report to you." Lilia saluted the scholar, knight and Nicole one by one and said, "we carefully investigated the surrounding environment. There was no trace of goblins or jackals nearby. We found some footprints of beasts, so we chose this open place to camp and cut down the nearby shrubs, so as to prevent beasts from sneaking into us by using the terrain."

"Well done, Lilia." Victor, who has the soul of modern people, certainly won't be stingy to praise his subordinates for their hard work, but he didn't realize the attraction of his moon elf blood to women.

Sure enough, the maid soldier's bright eyes smiled into two curved moons, and more than two red clouds flew up on her cheeks, which looked very moving.

"Hum!" A low hum of dissatisfaction sounded from behind victor. This is the trainee Knight Nicole expressing dissatisfaction with victor. In Nicole's opinion, a lord aristocrat should be reserved, arrogant and indifferent to his people. Like Victor, he praised Lilia with such a sweet face. He had no intention of young mercenaries.

Seeing Edwin's teasing eyes, Victor smiled bitterly in his heart. Nicole, a beautiful trainee knight, is particularly jealous, which may be due to her low birth background.

"My Lord, I just hunted a short tailed deer and some grouse with hammer nearby. I specially brought you some fresh food."

Just then "dogleg" Gru and several guards carried a 300 pound short tailed deer and some fat grouse to victor.

"Good short tailed deer. I can show my skill in roasting venison. The most rare is these grouse. Grouse is delicious, and grouse in water season is especially delicious. It's just that we can stew a pot of soup and add some dry mushrooms." Edwin was immediately attracted to the fresh prey thrown on the ground.

By this interruption, Vic breathed out for a long time, and even saw Gru's ugly face with a flattering smile.

However, Victor's heart moved when he heard that Edwin wanted to take care of the prey himself.

"Master, are you interested in trying new cooking methods?" Victor asked Edwin with a smile.

"Oh, Victor, do you have any new methods? Tell me." Edwin, as a white tower scholar, certainly has very strong curiosity, but I'm afraid it's more his instinct to eat goods that aroused his interest.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it first." Victor has been tired of eating either baked or stewed or raw since he came to this world.

Originally, Victor was worried about how to curry favor with the old scholar to learn more from him. Just to see the essence of master Edwin's food, Victor decided to show his hand.

Victor gave Gru a few orders. Gru nodded and left with the short tailed deer.

Then Victor asked Lilia to take some grouse down and kill them. At the same time, he asked Nelson to dig a fire pond on the ground.

After a while, Lilia brought some slaughtered grouse with suspicion. She saw that the grouse had been slaughtered and a hole opened in the abdomen. It was obvious that the internal organs had been removed, but the grouse did not remove its hair.

"Victor, this... Um... I mean... Chicken feathers can't be eaten!" Edwin couldn't help reminding when he saw the hairy grouse.

"Master, new methods are always different. As long as you wait patiently, you will not be disappointed."

Victor decided to spoil the old man's appetite and pretended to be a mysterious tunnel.

Soon, Gru came back with a cut deer row and a bag full of things.

Victor opened his pocket to reveal the clay inside. He twisted his fingers and nodded with satisfaction. Then he wrapped the grouse in clay and threw it into the dug pit.

"Victor, although the water season is the season of life, you can't grow grouse like you." Master Edwin looked at Victor with a sad face.

"Master, although I didn't go to the white tower to study, I also know that grouse don't grow in the ground." Victor smiled and buried the grouse with stones in the curious eyes of the people, and motioned Nelson to light a bonfire on the stones.

The raging bonfire dispels the damp and cold in the air, making it warm and comfortable. Victor set up a strange iron table on the fire with a brush made of long tailed rabbit hair and a bottle filled with grease.

"Nicole, come and help me arrange these deer on this iron plate and turn it around so that they don't get burnt." Victor said to Nicole as he smeared grease on the iron table.

"OK." Being able to help her sweetheart makes Nicole happy, even though she has no hope for grouse.

With Nicole's flexible turning, the deer row covered with sauce made a crackling sound on the iron plate, gradually sending out a hooked aroma, which was mouth watering.

"Well, please taste this iron plate deer steak!" Victor poked the fragrant deer chops with a knife. He just felt that it was already well done, and said to the people who had long expected it.

"This is the best deer chop I've ever eaten! This taste is great! Victor, you succeeded in making me forget the grouse." The old scholar did not forget to tease Victor while eating.

"It's really delicious! Besides, I think this kind of deer steak is easier to absorb than roast deer meat." The Bruce knight was also full of praise.

Nicole didn't say anything, but the smile between her eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden. The deer steak just cooked for Victor was welcomed by everyone, making her feel proud, like a hostess.

At the thought of this, Nicole's face could not help blushing. Fortunately, it was not obvious in the light of the fire.

"Master, remember to save some appetite for today's main course." Victor said to master Edwin with a smile.

The campfire was removed. In the surprised eyes of the people, Victor took out the main dishes buried under the stones, one by one sintered mud eggs.

When Victor peeled a mud egg, a smell stronger than the iron plate deer steak floated out of the egg. Everyone saw the snow-white pine chicken in the mud egg without a chicken feather on it.

Edwin took a grouse from Victor and gently bit it. The fresh and juicy chicken turned into a delicious taste he had never tasted in his mouth.

"I see. When you peel off the sintered clay, you peel off the chicken feathers, and the taste of the grouse is completely locked in the chicken. It's a genius. Victor, what's the name of this dish?" Edwin asked Victor after eating a whole grouse.

"This is what I heard from an old mercenary. I'll call it a mercenary chicken. How about it?"

"The name is really ugly, but it tastes very good!"
