Chapter 120 Calm Lake

Alphonse and the three of them rushed out of the door.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

We actually arrived at a huge grotto.

A calm lake runs across both ends. The clear lake water is sparkling under the sunlight. From time to time, swimming fish jump up and create circles of ripples on the lake surface.

There are some trees on the shore of the lake, but they are not too dense.

It seems that there are no monsters living in this place.

A peaceful scene.

Alphonse finally had some free time to detoxify Mia and others.

After placing the three people on the ground, Alphonse breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his eyes.

Then he helped Taixi unload his backpack, and then transferred the true energy into their bodies one by one, absorbing the toxins.

The wound didn't need any treatment, it was just a few tiny teeth marks, which were all scabbed at this time.

Although the poison has been removed, the three of them are still very weak.

However, his mind was awake and he was no longer confused.

Tessie sighed, "I have seen it in the literature. They should be succubus demons. They can read minds and become objects cherished by their enemies. They can also use telepathy to confuse people's hearts. After subduing the enemy, they will get rid of them. It absorbs energy from my body, but I didn't expect it to be so real, and I really can't do it."

In other words, the words I just heard were actually due to telepathy?

"Is it your mother you saw?" Alphonse asked.

Miya doesn't need to ask. Her mother is the deepest obsession in her heart. It seems to be a matter of course that she will fall into this trap.

Tessie nodded and said with some regret, "Since I was a child, my father has been forcing me to learn blacksmithing skills from him all day long, but I don't like forging, so I often quarrel with him, which is why my mother protects me."

Alphonse could understand his feelings and turned to look at Medio, "What about you? I haven't heard you say that you have a sister, right?"

Medio's condition puzzled Alphonse the most. Even his soul-stirring techniques were ineffective against him. How did he fall for it?

"That is the noble sister from the territory near the Magic Tower. She is very good to me, almost like my own sister." Medio replied with an embarrassed look, "I thought she had also come to this ruins, and she was scared. One jump, and then..."

This is prevarication. He has lived under the pressure of his sister since he was a child. When he saw his sister, he panicked.

But how could he tell Alphonse, he was the prince of the Kingdom of Hailant.

The Kingdom of Hailant and the Kingdom of Bastian have not established diplomatic relations, and their relationship is not very harmonious.

Alphonse was dubious about Medio's reason and did not ask further questions.

Seeing the familiar face again, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

After lying down for a while, Taixi finally recovered some strength and climbed up with difficulty. "To regain energy, we still need to cook some delicious food to recover quickly."

As he said that, he started rummaging around in his backpack.

He has collected a lot of ingredients, which will come in handy.

"Lord, I need to ask you to help me find some firewood. I really don't have the strength right now."

"No problem." Alphonse responded and walked out immediately.

Just as he was about to cut down the trees, Alphonse suddenly discovered a large cluster of herbs growing in the bushes under the trees.

The base is triangular and the upper part is cylindrical; the pedicel is slightly short, the flowers are lavender, and the top of the bud is black and purple; the capsule is black and blunt, triangular and oval.

Isn’t this the forget-me-not grass?

Yes!

Forget-you herbs grow in moist areas near water.

It seems unsurprising that there is growth here.

This forget-worn grass also has another name, called Zixuan.

There is a poem that says, "I miss you like day lilies, and I forget my worries as soon as I see him."

This is why the forget-me-not grass got its name.

According to Taixi, the forgetwort is worthless in this world, which means it can be used to cure coughs.

But it is one of the necessary herbs for tempering the body. This is another unexpected surprise, and I have collected another medicine.

Alphonse cut off all the forgetworts, placed them back, and then returned. He chopped down the tree with his sword energy, cut the trunk into small sections, and then brought it back to the resting place.

Tessie had dug a hole in the mud with the fine gold dagger, and carried the pan and spoon to the lake to wash.

Although there is water in the backpack, it is for drinking and cannot be wasted.

The lake water looks quite clean. There are fish swimming in it, so it shouldn't be poisonous.

To be on the safe side, Taixi still took a handful and tasted it, and couldn't help but let out a surprised "Eh".

"What's wrong?" Alphonse turned around and asked.

"The water is salty," Tessie replied.

saltwater lake?

Alphonse was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart.

The cooking of the food still had to be left to Tessie. Alphonse's cooking skills were not very good, that is, he could barely eat them.

He saw Mia sitting there, hugging her knees, looking at the lake in a daze, with a look of loss on her face.

Ever since she traveled to this different world, I have never seen her look so weak and helpless.

Alphonse came closer and patted her shoulder, "One day, I will help you rescue your mother, don't think so much."

"Thank you." Mia whispered back.

The fact that the succubus actually allowed her to see her mother again really made her feel very complicated.

There were too many comforting words for Alphonse to say, so he simply sat aside, stuffed the firewood into the pit, and struck it down with the wind of his palm, igniting the flames.

Taixi expertly peeled off the skin from the legs of the walking mushroom, removed the internal organs from the body of the poisonous scorpion, cut it into small pieces, and put them all into the pan.

Then pour in water, take out salt, chicken powder and other seasonings from your backpack, and put them into the pot for seasoning.

Ever since Alphonse suggested it and taught him the recipe for making chicken powder, this new seasoning has become an indispensable ingredient for his cooking.

While stirring the ingredients, Taixi asked, "Wait a minute, do we want to swim over?"

He had seen it, the passage was on the other side of the lake.

"I can't swim." Mia said dullly.

With her strength, she still couldn't jump across the vast lake and would eventually fall into the water.

I can fly!

Alphonse estimated the distance, used his toe sword, and it wouldn't be a problem to fly there with someone, that is, he would have to turn back twice more.

Just as he was about to speak, Medeo rushed to say, "It doesn't matter, I can do the magic of walking on water!"

"You know so much." Alphonse couldn't help but complain, "Do you need fish scales to walk on water?"

"Why do we need fish scales?" Medio was a little confused.

Alphonse laughed. This person from another world would not understand, so he was just teasing.

The shamans in the Yamaguchi Mountains used fish scales to cast spells in order to walk on water, but later with the inscription, they no longer needed that thing.

The tangy aroma has already poured into the nose.

What Tessie said is indeed right, the poisonous scorpion is easy to cook.

What is particularly strange is that the shiny black carapace is cooked and turns into an attractive bright red, while the scorpion meat is off-white.

"Is this really a scorpion?"

To Alphonse, the scorpion looked like shrimp meat.
