Elven settlers

Chapter 64 Charcoal Burning Training
In the past, Rock's skinning was simply processing the ingredients, but this time it was different. He was going to take care of this frightened-horned deer hide and sell it when he went to Sunshine Town to replenish supplies next time.

Because of their unique antlers and elusive habitat, scarlethorn pelts are rare and can be worth a lot of money.

It will take at least a year for the fruit to be harvested, and Rock's savings are running out, so he has to find a way to increase his income during this period.

The deerskin, antlers, and beads on the antlers of the frightened horned deer can add up to a lot of money.

Therefore, Rock was very careful in peeling the skin this time. He never used a knife if he could tear it off with his hands. If it was really difficult to tear it off, he used a finger-length knife to gently cut the fascia.

This small knife is one of the two attached knives that come with his scimitar, and he usually only uses it when eating.

Before the sky disappeared, Rock finally peeled off the deerskin completely.

At this time, he and the three elves were already a little hungry, so they simply cleared out a place to light a fire and eat.

Since Deluby was in the team, it was much easier for Rock to start a fire.

Leaving Arbor to guard the prey, Roque, Bayleaf, and Dai Lubi headed to gather dry firewood.

Breaking off the picked up dead branches into firewood sections of similar length and length, and then erecting them on a slant to form a bonfire, Derby happily spit out sparks to light the fire like a child waiting to light a firework.

"Hahaha, you kid likes setting fire so much, you will definitely be able to comprehend many powerful fire skills in the future."

Rock sat down by the fire, wrapped his right arm around the squatting Deruby, and patted its chest encouragingly.

A blazing fire lit up the makeshift camp, and Bayleaf and Arbor sat around the fire.

The Viridian Forest at night is very dark, without a trace of starlight.Except for the vicinity of the fire, there is a deep shadow all around, and there are some weird sounds that make people think about it from time to time.

Although he knew that it was the sound made by some nocturnal Pokémon, Rock still felt a little chilly. Fortunately, the three elf companions around him gave him the courage to keep calm.

In order to process the deerskin as soon as possible, Rock was going to wait until he finished his meal and continue his return journey, so he chose the faster cooking method of frying.

Cut the plump deer tail into small pieces and fry it in a frying pan until there is an extra layer of fragrant deer oil at the bottom of the pan.

Strips of meat willows are cut from the venison legs into the pan, briefly fried, sprinkled with a handful of salt and pepper, placed on a wooden board cut out of a bay leaf, and then fried in another pan immediately.

The venison with two hind legs, about [-] kilograms, was put into the oil pan by Rock, and the remaining leg bones with some meat were also inserted by him into the fire to roast.

This is the first time that Rock has been surprised by horned venison. Although it is only cooked in a simple way, the taste is very mellow.

The venison willow fried with deer tail oil is very tender and smooth, and it feels warm in the stomach.

Several wild elves were also attracted by the rich-smelling fried venison, and their pupils glowed green in the darkness reflected by the firelight.There was also an owl standing on the top of the tree, staring at them without blinking.

"woooooooo"

Deluby bared his fangs and growled threateningly.

"Don't worry about them, eat quickly, and hurry up after eating."

Rock gave all the leftover venison at the bottom of the pot to the three elves, and then packed up the tableware.

The Arbor glanced at the treetops, releasing its vicious intimidating aura, and the owl immediately flew away in fright.

After a simple but delicious dinner, Rock and the elves packed up and continued on their way.

Bay Leaf used the flash technique to open the way ahead, Rock followed behind with the remaining venison and deerskin on his back, Deluby wandered to the left and right to guard, and finally the broken Arbor.

In this way, he walked out of the Viridian Forest without any danger, the moonlight returned to the earth, and the surrounding vision became much clearer.

The wilderness in the night is another scene, quiet and lively.

Regardless of admiring the night view of the territory, Rock hurried back to the camp by the oak forest.

Letting the bay leaf increase the lighting of the flash technique, Rock unfolded the deerskin and inspected it carefully, making sure that there was no residual fat, minced meat and fascia on it.

Then I went to the river to find a shallow river surface, spread the deerskin flat and soaked it in, and pressed a few stones on it.

After seeing that there was nothing wrong, Rock returned to the camp to rest.

After getting up the next day, Rock and the three elves were not very hungry because they were full of venison last night.Seeing more than half of the frightened horned deer left, he felt a little embarrassed.

It's late spring now, the weather is already very warm, and the color of the venison is no longer pink after one night.

Rock thought for a while and decided to store the remaining venison as bacon and eat it slowly. The delicious scarred-horned venison was worth his effort.

To make bacon, you first need to burn some charcoal. There are a lot of oak trees growing on his land, which is the best raw material for charcoal.

In fact, burning charcoal is an important reason why Rock decided to spare time to make bacon. He recently discovered an interesting phenomenon.

With the trench digging work carried out in the past few days, the strength of Arbor and Bay Leaf has increased, which made Rock realize that many work behaviors in the process of reclamation can also have a good training effect.

So he was going to try to see if he could increase Derby's ability to control fire energy by burning charcoal.

In the Pokémon world, there is a kind of naturally formed top-quality charcoal, which can enhance the power of the elves' fire-attribute skills.

Rock certainly can't burn such a magical item, but perhaps he can achieve the same effect through burning charcoal training.

He first found a hillside and dug a cave on it.Then pile up a large number of collected oak branches and let Da Rubi fire them with sparks at the mouth of the kiln.

"Probably keep it at this temperature. Don't let the fire go out, and don't let the fire burn too much. I'll leave it to you, Dai Rubi, and it doesn't matter if you fail. Just pay attention to feel the changes of the flame."

Deluby nodded seriously, and sat at the kiln mouth carefully staring at the flickering charcoal kiln.Feel the pulsation of fire energy and add a spark from time to time.

Leaving behind the serious and responsible Druby, Rock, Arbor, and Bay Leaf continued the last bit of aqueduct work.

Burning charcoal is a tiring job, and at the same time requires precise control of the temperature of the flame.

To be honest, although Rock has confidence in Deluby's talent, he doesn't have too much expectation, as long as he can exercise it.

But what he didn't expect was that after only staying in front of the charcoal kiln for half a day, Deluby comprehended a fire attribute signature skill, jetting flames.

"boom!"

A thick flame spewed out from Druby's mouth, and it was clever enough to directly block the kiln opening, heating up the inside of the charcoal kiln through the soil layer.

　good evening!
