Chapter 318 Cooking Skill
It was like those savage bees were completely ignorant to the fact that their hive was damaged. They continued to dance around in the air. It seemed like they were very happy to share their honey with Lady Jenny.
“Bennett, why don’t you come here?” Asked Lady Jenny gently as she turned her head back and saw Abel.
“Jenny, how can you do that?” Abel asked curiously.
“Simple, you just need to pretend you are a part of their members and be friendly. They are very happy to share their food with you!” Said Lady Jenny with a little giggle.
Just like Lady Jenny, Abel was also a soul speaker. He just didn’t know how to use this ability. Now his heart was motivated, it seemed like he really needed to give his druid soul a deep examination, especially when it came to its ability to communicate.
After they returned to the camp, all of the ladies who went out to gather food had returned as well. Lady Carrie placed 6 wild chicken in front of her, Lady Marian was was.h.i.+ng the fruit, Lady Morrie, and Lady Muriel was starting the fire.
“Bennett, are you good at cooking?” Asked Lady Carrie pointing at the 6 wild chickens on the floor.
‘I’m pretty good, Carrie!” Abel said with a humble laugh.
“Nice, I’ll let you take care of these 6 wild chickens then! Druids are the guardians of the forest and the forest is also what nourishes us, so you have to finish all your food. Wasting is a disgrace for druids.” Lady Carrie knew exactly where Abel had got his druid ability form, so she lightly explained some basic Druids information to him.
Abel grabbed the 6 wild chicken and walked to the open field. He then took out a large pot and scooped a large bucket of water from the lake.
After he searched around for a bit in his portal bag, he took out a ‘Fire Bolt’ magic staff. Since he was a druid at that moment, he was afraid of directly unleas.h.i.+ng a Fire Bolt.
The magic staff struck out, and a little magic pattern appeared in front of it. Afterward, a little sparkle of Fire appeared. After taking the ‘Soul Potion’ many times, Abel had gained a deep understanding of fire attribute spells. Now, he had fully grasped the ability to control the strength of the flame.
Although this ability wasn’t too practical in battles since a more powerful Fire Bolt was always better and this would just take up more time, it was still useful in day to day life.
Normally, going into a state of realization was an extremely rare opportunity for wizards, so of course, they would not waste this chance to learn a trivial task such as using Fire Bolt to boil water. Only Abel would do this since he was spoiled with so many ‘Soul Potion’.
It only took him 10 seconds to bring the water to boil with this fire spell. Abel then put away his magic staff and threw all the wild chicken into the pot. Afterward, he quickly ripped all the feathers out of the chickens, and in no time, their skin was completely smooth.
Then he took out a little blade from his portal bag, and carefully cut out all the guts within the chicken as well as giving it a clean with water.
The Ladies had stopped what they were doing and looked at Abel with amus.e.m.e.nt. Lady Carrie couldn’t help but said: “Bennett, you really know how to enjoy life!”
“I’m always alone in the wild, so of course I will treat my taste buds well!” Abel replied with a laugh.
Afterward, Abel took out all kinds of spices from his portal bag and used a tree branch as a skewer to hold up all the chickens.’
“Bennett, the fire is ready, we can start cooking!” Said Lady Morrie in excitement.
Abel shook his head with a smile. He then switched the tree branch with the 6 wild chickens to his left hand, and took out the ‘FireBolt’ Magic staff once again and ignited it. But this time, a little dragon of flame flew out and danced around the 6 wild chickens.
As Abel used his power of the will to carefully control this flaming dragon, his hand switched his magic staff to the spices. Afterward, waves of tasty smell filled the surrounding.
“That’s way too dramatic!” Lady Morrie couldn’t even believe her eyes. Forget about Druids with magic equipment, even official wizards wouldn’t do something like this with their magic spells.
Lady Jenny began to critically a.n.a.lyze what Abel was doing. “Bennett’s control on Fire Bolt had reached an incomparable level. It would be destructive if he can apply this power in the elemental Druid spell ‘Fire Hurricane!!”
Soon, that little flaming dragon faded away from the air, leaving 6 mouth-watering roasted chickens on a stick. One by one, Abel decided the chickens for the ladies.
Lady Morrie gently bit on her chicken. It was still hot, but she couldn’t help but said with her tongue sticking out, “Bennett, if there is such a thing as a roasting Master, you can definitely be one!”
“Bennett, don’t you have anything better to do? Spending so much effort on food.” Lady Carrie added while enjoying her chicken by the side.
“Bennett, we’ll leave barbecuing to you from now on! We are in luck!” Lady Marian didn’t care what Lady Carrie had to say as she yelled.
Actually, Abel couldn’t help it himself as well. He was sick of eating those Nutrient Potions, and since he had this picky eater Black Wind, his barbecuing skills had grown tremendously. Also, since his personal storage box could preserve meats forever, using spells to barbecue the meats directly had automatically become a better and more convenient alternative.
Of course, Abel would not explain this, so he could just agree to the ladies. He then came to the side of Black Wind and took out a spiced up lamb from his portal bag. The flaming dragon flew out from his magic staff again, and in almost no time, a roast lamb was ready for Black Wind to feast.
After around 30 minutes, Abel finished his chicken and a few pieces of fruit. Black Wind had also finished it’s roast lamb. They rested for a bit and waited for the ladies to finish their food.
“Bennett, come here for a bit.” Said Lady Carrie.
Abel walked to her side and asked: “Carrie, what’s up!”
Lady Carrie didn’t say anything. Instead, she just wrapped all the chicken organs up with a big leaf and walked to the side of a tree. The other ladies didn’t talk as they followed behind, so Abel curiously did the same.
The moment when Lady Carrie hanged the organs up in a branch, Abel felt weird energy coming through the forest. It seemed like the forest was affirming what Lady Carrie was doing.
After Lady Carrie was done with everything, she turned and explained to Abel, “Since the forest had given us food, we have to respect them. This practice is the tradition of Druids; it was pa.s.sed down for centuries, just like our power. As long as the inheritance of Druids continues, this tradition will continue as well!”
Now Abel had discovered a difference between the Druids in the city and Druids in the forest. Back in the city, they were not much different from wizards, but in the forest, they were in complete harmony with everything. They could find food in the most dangerous places.
If a wizard tried to enter the forest, every single beast would try to attack them, so they would need to keep fighting.
It was no wonder the Double Moon Forest was forbidden to humans. Even normal wizards couldn’t stay here for long. From those little poisonous bugs, venomous snakes, normal beasts, to the most powerful soul beast–everything here was basically a threat to humans.
