Food Poems

Chapter 234: Duel of the Frostwind Witch! New Music Spell
In the kitchen, Yeats stood by the fire, the blue flames made the room temperature freezing cold.

The snow leopard crouched low and carefully exhaled frost flames into the stove. A thin layer of ice had already formed on the stone wall, and the Frost Wind Witch looked a little dazed.

"Frostfire, you use it for cooking?"

Ye Zhi took the long-handled ladle from the copper spoon rack on the stone wall, stir-fried the pork in the iron pot, and said casually:

"What is the problem?"

The Frostwind Witch fell silent. Perhaps, she had not yet realized the preciousness of [Blessing·Frost Flame]?

Dried herbs are hung overhead and can be picked and sprinkled into the soup. Rosemary, garlic clusters, violets, these herbs rarely seen in the North, their aroma is completely diluted by the spicy aroma rising from the pot.

"What is this?" The Frostwind Witch looked at the peppers in the pot.

"The crops from the southern continent were introduced to the central courtyard not long ago."

"What is the taste."

"Won't you know if you try it?"

Hearing this, a hint of emotion flashed across the Frostwind Witch's cold face.

Seeing this, Ye Zhi thought to himself, the witch has fallen into my trap!

Yeats has used the Frost Flame to remove impurities from the Dreadfang pork, making it more easily absorbed by humans.

There is always magic power remaining on the monsters because of the magic web.

These magical powers are indigestible to ordinary people, and if they enter the body, their lives will be in danger.

Even for extraordinary beings, there are hidden dangers caused by conflicts in magical powers.

This is exactly why humans cannot eat magical beasts and they must first be processed by food chefs.

Food chefs often use the common fire element methods of "flame" and "temperature" to remove the remaining magic power of monsters so that civilians can also eat.

More advanced food chefs will go on to allow the magic power inside the monster ingredients to provide benefits for extraordinary people.

The principle is similar to how a potion master combines the magic power of various ingredients into a bottle of potion.

Therefore, whether it is a food chef or a potion master, before processing the materials, they must carry out the necessary step of "removing impurities".

Yeats could only use the most basic stove fire to "eliminate the impurities".

But after using Frost Flame, the effect of removing impurities is greatly improved, and the efficacy of food can be further enhanced.

After completing the step of removing impurities, Ye Zhi switched to ordinary flames and began basic cooking steps, constantly sensing the changes in the magic in the pot.

"You're like you're making a potion." Frostwind Witch said suddenly.

"The paths of law all lead to the same destination!" Ye Zhi said frankly.

These words seemed to be deliberately mysterious, but when they fell into the witch's ears, a hint of thought flashed across her icy blue eyes.

Immediately, the indifference on the Frost Wind Witch's face eased a lot, and she seemed to have changed her mind about Ye Zhi.

The aroma of spicy food mixed with oil smoke wafted into the air, filling the room with fragrance. An owl was standing on a pile of firewood in the corner, dozing with its eyes closed, then opened its eyes, which were glowing yellow.

The Frostwind Witch had already noticed this snowy owl, and ripples began to form in her heart.

'He is not a hero yet, but he has contracted two king-level monsters.'

"It's not easy to make the king bow down... He can't make the king loyal by eating food, right?"

Faintly, the Frostwind Witch actually felt a little bit of anticipation for the next dish.

She wanted to see what miraculous effects the food cooked using the food feasting method could have!
In the castle, in the dining room, the crystal chandelier cast its light, illuminating the long oak dining table. Silver cutlery was placed on the snow-white tablecloth, and a witch, shivering from coldness, sat beside the table.

Ian's ice-blue skin is smooth, his blue eyes are as deep as an icy lake, and the white mist he exhales is icy cold.

Next to the wine rack, the head maid Delphinium stood, pouring aged red wine for Ian, and once again she was as quiet as a transparent person.

The door was pushed open, and a maid came in pushing a dining cart. Ye Zhi personally picked up a plate of fried pork and opened the silver cover in front of Ian.

In an instant.

The spicy aroma hits you in the face.

Ian's cold eyes suddenly widened slightly, and his long silver-white hair fluttered in the sudden gust of air.

"It's a special effect! I added a special effect to the dish!" Ye Zhi thought.

The golden yellow pork with red peppers and embellished with green vanilla leaves was particularly tempting. Looking at it, Ian couldn't help but pursed his lips and looked at Ye Zhi inquiringly.

Ye Zhi nodded with a smile and held out his hand for Ian to do as he pleased.

With a little curiosity, Ian tentatively picked up the silver spoon, scooped up a mouthful, blew the cold air into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Ian was stunned for a moment. The skin of the pork was crispy, and the inside was tender and juicy. The spicy and fresh aroma quickly ignited his taste buds!

Thanks to the Frost Flame, this dish even contains frost elements that are of great benefit to Ian and can be quickly absorbed by her!
Ian couldn't help but feel shocked.

Is this the method of a food chef?

While eating, you are increasing your soul power!

The Frostwind Witch simply couldn't stop.

Bite after bite.

A charming blush spread across her face, which soon became more and more obvious!

A scene appeared in front of Ian's eyes: the frozen dormant volcano erupted again, and the fiery red magma filled the entire glacier!

Her pale lips were tinged with a delicate pink, she let out a soft breath, and her blue eyes sparkled.

For any extraordinary person, the growth of soul power is exhilarating and irresistible!
Just like an iceberg thawing, her pretty face was full of charm, and the Frost Wind Witch's voice was soft and trembling as she said:
"It smells...very good. I want more..."

The little squirrel complained in his mind: "You didn't add chili peppers, you added datura liquid."

Ye Zhi said, "I've checked it, there's no medicine, it's all ice!"

On the other side.

The head maid, Delphinium, was slightly stunned.

The contrast between this white-haired elf before and after is so great that he simply can't stop eating the lord's dishes!
"Did the Lord drug her?"

Delphinium was daydreaming.

"How can you let outsiders enjoy this kind of thing? Let me have a taste first!"

The subsequent events followed naturally.

The Frostwind Witch said that she would stay in Morningfrost Ridge for a while.

During this period, the Frostwind Witch will assist Ye Zhi in completing the construction of the Winter Temple.

The Winter Temple is very expensive, but the benefit is that the probability of giving birth to someone with extraordinary frost talent in the territory is greatly increased.

This is also an alliance with the camp of the Goddess of Winter.

The purpose of the church is to eradicate paganism.

Yeats, as a polytheistic candidate, ranks at the top of the black list.

It is also in his interest to cooperate with the Goddess of Winter.

On the other hand, the church usually has three strategies for dealing with pagans with outstanding potential:
Treat them to guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs.

Hastings, the 'Chosen One of the Gods of War', is obviously the last type.

It is unclear how the God of War would feel when he finds out that his chosen one is working for the church.

Ultimately, Yeats's influence in the secular world is closely related to his territory and personal strength.

Even if he hopes to ascend to the throne of god in the future, the territory can provide him with a large amount of power of faith.

However, it is not easy for a mortal to become a god.

The good news is that Yeats's eating skills are beyond the scope of human beings. In theory, as long as there are high-quality enough ingredients, he can even eat his way up.

"It's a pity that Sariel's eyeballs were all chopped off, otherwise if he had eaten one or two, he would have become a hero..." Ye Zhi said with regret.

The five-ring heroic level is symbolized by natural disaster-like spells and dark golden fighting spirit.

Most of the prominent heroes in the history of the Middle-earth and the "Trojan War" fall into this category.

'Frost Wind Witch' Ian is at the fifth ring level and should not be underestimated.

With her guidance, whether it is the Snow Leopard's control over the frost flame, the Snow Owl's blizzard practice, or even Ye Zhi's own frost spells, there will be rapid improvement!
The prerequisite is to gain her approval in tonight's trial.

"At worst, the whole family can come together."

Ye Zhi glanced at the owl drawing a scroll beside the desk and thought to himself:
"The bard is weak in close combat, so he needs a familiar to fight with him. This makes sense!"

*
Night falls.

Yeats spread his wings of poetry and came with Ian to an open area in the Absolute Mountains.

Slowly landing on the thick snow, Ye Zhi exhaled cold mist and used the Dancing Light Technique to summon a bright light source that was suspended nearby.

The battle between the high-ringers would cause immeasurable damage to the territory, so the battlefield was chosen here.

Ye Zhi drew out the Silver Oak Sword disguised as the God of Mist, summoned the majestic Snow Leopard, looked at the Frost Wind Witch who was ready to attack, and nodded slightly:
"I'm ready!"

Ian had returned to his aloof demeanor. His icy blue skin had a strange beauty in the snow and wind. His silver hair swayed as he spoke softly:

"You attack first."

Low-level mages often need to use spellcasting tools such as staffs to cast spells.

However, after reaching a higher level, the mage can directly guide the magic web in nature.

At this moment, the frost elements around Ian became extremely active, and frost dust scattered, sparkling like stardust.

Ye Zhi immediately condensed the moonlight fighting spirit and slashed out a sharp silver light!

The sword wind whistled as it swept across the snow, stirring up snow piled up ten feet high!
He starts with the Moonlight Sword, which is the sword technique Yeats is best at, and it contains the gorgeous characteristics of the poet's profession. The moonlight flows like mercury pouring on the ground!

Ian's eyes flickered.

Moonlight Dou Qi is a more superior type of Dou Qi and can only be mastered by Moonlight believers.

It’s strange, he is clearly the God of Winter, so how come he is so good at the Moonlight School?
Ian didn't need to dodge. With a click, a two-meter-high ice wall rose up in front of her. It was extremely cold and indestructible!
The sword's force sank into the ice wall, and it lost its strength.

At the same moment, the ice wall glowed coldly, and hundreds of first-ring spell 'Ice Cones' shot out from the ice wall!

咻咻 咻 ~
Ye Zhi flashed out five meters, and the ice cone missed with a "bang" and stirred up white mist!
At the same time, Ye Zhi used invisibility to escape into the shadows and secretly ordered the snow leopard to bypass the ice wall and attack from behind Ian.

However, an ice-blue wall of fire ignited on the snowfield, surrounding Ian, making it difficult to get close!

Fourth-ring spell: Frostburn Wall!

This variation of the Fire Wall Technique is even more terrifying than a raging fire. Even if it touches you a little, your torso will be instantly frozen, or even completely necrotized due to the penetration of cold air!
boom! !

The snow leopard casts the 'Blessing - Frost Flame' on itself.

With its entire body wrapped in floating blue frost flames, the snow leopard roared, broke through the frost wall, and swung out its thunder claws with surging lightning!
A hint of certainty flashed in Ian's eyes, and his clear blue eyes shone brightly in an instant, causing the snow leopard to pause!
Spell: Mind Freeze!

This is a spell similar to the "halo" feature, which you can choose to turn on or off.

When the halo is turned on, the thinking of creatures affected by the 'mind freeze' will become slow, and their bodies will tremble uncontrollably!

Ian easily dodged the Snow Leopard's sure-shot attack and summoned a freezing vortex of ice with his backhand!

The frost vortex was like a storm, swallowing the snow leopard!

Even though Ye Zhi entered invisibility, Ian was not in a hurry, because the spell of invisibility required continuous casting and was easily interrupted.

The 'mind-freezing' aura is enough to force him to show up!
However, Ye Zhi still did not show up, which made Ian feel a little surprised.

'How does he reduce the effects of mind freeze?'

As a five-ring warrior with rich combat experience, Ian quickly changed his strategy and used the first-ring spell "Temperature Detection" to lock onto Ye Zhi's true body.

What she didn't expect was that Ye Zhi had already passed through the Frostburning Wall and his sword stabbed down like lightning!
In an instant, Ian condensed frost armor on his body to block the sword tips that were pointing directly at his vital points, and stretched out his palm and clenched it tightly!
Suddenly, the frost element began to boil at this moment, and the terrifying spell aura made the already cold temperature even more severe!

Under Yeats' feet, frost rose from the ground, like a huge ice coffin, locking Yeats inside!
On the treetop, the little squirrel nibbled on melon seeds and nodded silently.

In just a short moment, the snow leopard was first trapped by the frost vortex, and then Ye Zhi was imprisoned by the ice burial technique. This was the absolute suppression of the hero level over the diamond level.

But... Ye Zhi was, after all, a guy favored by several goddesses at the same time.

A hint of human-like smirk flashed across the little squirrel's face...How could he be trapped so easily!

Ye Zhi failed to avoid the Ice Burial Technique, which meant she failed the test. Ian was a little disappointed, but also felt that it was reasonable. However, she instinctively opened her eyes wide and was suddenly shocked!
The figure in the ice coffin disappeared out of thin air!
There is only one possibility, the body that was just locked up was a fake!

Ian's breath was detecting in all directions. The attack came from behind. He turned around subconsciously, and Ye Zhi's extreme cold fist hit him in the face!
boom!
Ian grabbed Ye Zhi's fist with one hand, crushed the ice crystal with a "crack", his eyes full of surprise:
"How on earth did you just... trick me?"

The answer is the blessing of the Goddess of Mist, the magic of illusion!

It was a trick of illusion, and even the original chief judge Pedro couldn't see through it. He once again accomplished something extraordinary!

Ye Zhi did not answer, pretending to be helpless and said: "It's a pity that you still saw through it."

Ian's beautiful eyes lit up and she shook her head: "Your performance is already perfect..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Yeats yelled, "I've got her under control. It's your turn, Snowy Owl!"

Drilling: ???
It's obvious that someone has grabbed your fist, but now it seems like you are controlling her?

Poet Laureate, can you please have some shame!

Suddenly, a king-level aura surged in the battlefield again. Ian was slightly startled and quickly thought of the snowy owl!
The Snow Owl was flying in the air, attacking with three arcane missiles, shining with purple-red light, and descending like a comet!
Ian no longer concealed the surprise on his face.

How could Arcane Missiles be so powerful? It was as if it had been blessed by Minerva!

Suddenly, Ian thought of the rumors circulating in the north, and felt strange.

"Is Ye Zhi's Snow Owl Magic Pet also chosen by God? And it is chosen by the Goddess of Magic? ! "

boom! !

Energy exploded, stirring up flying snow.

In the white mist, Ian was unharmed, but looked somewhat disheveled.

On the other hand, Yeats quickly flashed away when Ian was responding to the attack, and was safe and sound.

Ian adjusted his breathing and said helplessly:
"No need to fight anymore... I admit that I underestimated you in this trial, Ye Zhi."

One person has contracted two holy beasts chosen by God, and even according to common duel rules, he can summon two magical pets at the same time to fight against his opponent.

How would the opponent feel when it's three against one... Ian thought to himself, it will definitely be worse than how I feel now!

Yeats smiled.

Ian is a five-ring hero after all, so even if she is attacked from both herself and her pets, it is still easy for her to win.

The reason she gave up fighting again was because her performance was good enough to pass the test.

"Then, the next task of teaching the snow owls and snow leopards will be left to you, Senior Ian." Ye Zhi explained his original training plan and asked for the help of the Frostwind Witch.

Ian was slightly stunned, and whispered: "Snowy Owl can already learn Blizzard? Are you sure?"

Ye Zhi said that the Snow Owl was chosen by the Goddess of Magic, and his talent in magic was beyond doubt.

"It is true." Ian nodded slowly, with a nice smile on his face.

The Frostwind Witch let down her guard and joked, "Your powerful illusion technique, isn't it also derived from some God-chosen talent?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Oh no, when did the news leak out?

*
In the next two days, the Frostwind Witch began to formally teach the Snow Owl and the Snow Leopard.

Snow Owl has had many mentors, including supreme wizards like Kendela, but it still values ​​the elf Blueberry the most and thinks Blueberry teaches the best.

Yeats asked, "How did Blueberry teach you?"

Snowy Owl said, "Guuu!" (She let me learn it on my own!)

Ye Zhi: “…”

How can you praise yourself so much?

Ye Zhi tried to learn basic frost magic from the Frostwind Witch, but his aptitude was too poor and he couldn't learn it anyway, so he had to settle for the next best thing and asked for music magic.

In the North, there is a group of bards who call themselves "Stormsingers". They can use music to influence the weather and control thunder and storms.

The Frostwind Witch also has profound attainments in music magic.

As the chosen one of art, Yeats quickly integrated all this knowledge and mastered a new musical spell called "Storm Song".

Storm Song has two major branch effects, one of which is "wind control", which can use music to control the wind direction.

Ye Zhi said: "I understand. From now on, I don't need to borrow the east wind. Just play a song..."

Another effect is "Thunderbolt", which uses music to release a thunderbolt with a power equivalent to a three-ring thunderbolt spell, and will continue to increase with the improvement of Yeats's Poet's Way.

Ye Zhi was shocked. Now he could shout "Thunder God, help me!"

This power does not come from the realm of the God of Thunder and Storms, but comes from the natural elements that already exist in the realm of creation. This is why the Winter Priest can master the Storm Song.

In late July, Yeats had completely mastered The Tempest Song and was preparing to set out for Lundu when he received a message from Beowulf.

"My Lord! The Black Knight chessboard on the Absolute Ridge Mountains suddenly glowed, as if a divine oracle had descended!"

Ye Zhi was slightly startled.

Just when I was about to set off, the Black Knight sent down the oracle?
"The most urgent thing..."

Yeats frowned.

"Prepare a joke first!"
