Elsa nodded, turned her head, and suddenly found that the saint was looking at her again.
Elsa smiled at her in a friendly way.
……
It was already past noon.
Elsa did not return to Weilin Town immediately. During the time Elsa was on her way to the fortress, Tricia had already communicated with Weilin Town through her familiar. Now Elsa stayed to accompany them, partly to fulfill her duty as a good host, and partly because of Elsa's own selfish motives.
——Elsa was thinking, now that the Saint has come to Weilin Town, can we find a way to solve Alice's hidden physical illness?
Otherwise, I don’t know when the next time I’ll have such a suitable opportunity will be.
Elsa took the initiative to talk to Inksa and the people from the Holy See, starting with the topic of abyss magic, and then gradually turning to the selection and training of holy nuns - first leaving a little impression on everyone, and then getting a little familiar with them, so that it would be easier to get things done later.
The Archbishop was naturally happy about this. They had come here just to establish a good relationship with Elsa, so naturally they had a good chat with Elsa.
In order to build a good relationship between Inksa and Aisha, they always directed the topic to Inksa, which was convenient for Aisha - when dealing with people, if the other party doesn't mind, chatting more about the other party's topic is itself a way to quickly build closer relationships.
Elsa and Tricia both sat next to Inksya, chatting, while the Paladins also started to busy themselves with lunch.
This suddenly made Aisha think of something new.
"By the way, Tricia, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"No...what's wrong?"
Tricia asked, casting a lifeless gaze towards Aisha.
Since she couldn't taste anything anyway, why would she abstain from food? She even went a whole year without eating while she was asleep, relying solely on her magic to survive.
"oh, I understand now."
Aisha looked at Xing Yinkesha again.
"Inksa, is there anything you don't like to eat?"
Inksa quickly shook her head.
She is very well behaved and never picky about food - that's what she seemed to be saying.
Seeing this, Elsa volunteered to cook herself and performed a "beer-braised duck stew" for everyone.
This is not the first time that Elsa has recreated the dishes she ate in her previous life in this world, but this time it is a little more difficult, mainly because the ingredients and condiments are incomplete.
The duck meat was quite delicious, from home-raised ducks. Although they were small in size, the texture was good. Elsa bought it casually while shopping, but the other ingredients were a bit problematic. The beer in this world itself had a bit of bitterness, and the taste was a bit lacking. In addition, the condiments to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor were not complete. Although it was not fishy, Elsa was not sure whether it would make the taste worse. The usual side dishes were not available, and she could only use some radish instead, so the flavor could not be fully restored.
Besides, Elsa's cooking skills are just average. She has never learned it seriously. Most of the time, she just watched short videos and made it once or twice to get by. She is still far from being a chef.
Elsa worked hard and sealed the stew pot with her hands instead of the pressure cooker, while Tricia roasted the fireball fiercely.
Until the moment the pot opened, a rich and delicious aroma spread out, making everyone swallow their saliva.
"Eat."
Aisha brought a bowl to everyone and then sat herself between Inkhsa and Tricia.
Inksha was already salivating - she had never seen this kind of cooking method before, but it smelled delicious and was very appetizing. However, since Aisha didn't start eating, she could only hold back.
Tricia teased Aisha:
"I never thought the hero who defeated the Undead Demon General would have such a virtuous side."
Tricia herself had never done any of this. She didn't have this skill and was focused on studying magic. But even she could see that Elsa's technique was very skillful and she obviously did it often.
So Tricia's tone was relaxed, more of a self-deprecating tone.
After all, when she was traveling with the Saint and the Hero, she was the only one who had no idea how to cook.
"Because eating is important. If you can eat delicious food, your mood will be better throughout the day."
As she spoke, Aisha took out her metal chopsticks - which looked very strange to both Tricia and Inksha.
At this moment, Elsa suddenly thought of something.
She smiled, put down her bowl, and gently raised her hand to lift the hair from her temples and put it behind her ears.
Then, in Tricia's surprised eyes, Elsa took the initiative to pull Tricia's hand. At this moment, the warm and soft touch pierced Tricia's heart. Her whole body seemed to be electrified, and all five senses came back - so she watched Elsa pick up a piece of duck meat with the two thin sticks, blew it gently at the corner of her mouth, and then gently bit it.
The duck meat was still very hot, but that didn't matter to Elsa because she was putting it on for Tricia.
“It tastes pretty good, a little better than expected.”
Tricia, whose five senses had returned to her body, could only smell a rich and fresh fragrance.
Elsa looked at Tricia, and deliberately picked up another piece of duck meat with the chopsticks she had used to eat, blew it gently to cool it down, and then brought it to Tricia's lips.
"Come on, eat."
Elsa smiled widely, but Tricia clearly saw a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"Eat as much as you want—I'll always hold your hand."
That way Tricia could taste it.
Tricia was stunned for a moment, the sparkle in her eyes flickered slightly, and her eyelashes drooped.
"Thank you, Elsa."
"Eat."
Aisha smiled. She saw Tricia gently part her lips. She kept looking into Tricia's eyes, observing Tricia's reaction.
Tricia's lips soon touched the duck meat, which was very hot and burned her.
"Sorry, sorry...is it still hot?"
"It's fine……"
Aisha was full of apology and blew on Tricia again - and gently touched it with her lips to confirm the temperature, and brought it to Tricia's mouth again.
All this happened in front of Tricia.
And Tricia, of course, saw it, staring intently, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
Elsa didn't know what Tricia's mood was at the moment. She only saw Tricia hesitate for a second and still slowly parted her lips.
Under Aisha's meaningful gaze, Tricia took a bite of the duck meat.
In an instant, a full sense of taste seemed to explode in her mouth. Tricia had not tasted what "taste" was for decades. Not to mention the "taste bud special attack" carefully prepared by Elsa, even the dry food would probably be tasted by Tricia.
She showed an intoxicated expression. Seeing this scene, Elsa knew that her operation was successful.
To conquer a person, you must first capture her stomach. This sentence also applies to girls. In her previous life, Elsa could not do this because her cooking skills were mediocre, but here she can use "freshness" and "cooking methods" to fill the gap in her cooking skills.
"How does it taste? Is it delicious?"
Elsa asked, giving a meaningful smile, cupping Tricia's hand against her chest and leaning forward slightly, lowering her gaze so that Tricia was looking down at her.
"If you like, I can make it for you whenever you want."
This scene made Inksha stare at the side. She felt that the atmosphere between Aisha and Tricia seemed a little strange, but she didn't know what was strange.
On the other side, the archbishop and the paladins didn't even look over here. They were concentrating on enjoying the delicious food, praising it highly and even wanting another bowl.
……
------------
155. Her Highness the Saint is striving to improve
"You want to learn this?"
"Ah."
Aisha looked at Inksa doubtfully, and Inksa responded with a firm look.
"I want to try."
——Inkesa wants to learn how to use chopsticks.
This made Elsa feel a little strange. She didn't understand it, but she didn't say much. She just thought that Inksha was curious about chopsticks. This was not the first time Elsa had encountered such a thing. When she was living in the monastery, a nun learned it from Elsa because she found it interesting.
"Then this is for you. This pair is new. If you like it, you can keep it."
Aisha smiled and took out a spare pair of metal chopsticks and handed them to Inkhsa.
Looking at the two thin metal sticks that were less than arm length, Inksa immediately showed a look of joy and couldn't wait to take the chopsticks in her hand to try. Obviously, she had no idea how to hold the chopsticks, so Aisha taught her how to hold the chopsticks steadily - but there was no physical contact.
Inksa's hands are small and look soft. If she could touch them, they would probably feel like peeled eggs - Aisha thought.
"This will keep it steady. Move these fingers like this to separate it—you can try it."
Inksa tried seriously, but it was obvious that this was not something she could learn in a short time.
She was surprised.
Obviously, the two thin sticks were flexible and convenient in Elsa's hands, and she could use them as easily as with her own arms. However, when she really tried to use them herself, she found that chopsticks were more difficult to master than she had imagined. Inksa held the chopsticks in her hand, and although her posture was correct, she still had a lot of trouble and tremblingly picked up the duck meat. Inksa was very curious about how long it took Elsa to use the two sticks so skillfully.
The archbishop and paladins beside her also saw Inksa trying to control the chopsticks and started discussing in a low voice.
"Look, Her Highness the Saint is asking Lady Faris about that thing—isn't it interesting? Although it's just two simple sticks, it actually tests the coordination of the fingers. Without a period of training, it's probably not easy to use it to the point of being able to move with ease."
One of the paladins said this seriously, and the others nodded in agreement, agreeing with his point of view.
"After all, it was invented by Lady Faris herself. I believe it was Lady Faris's diligence that led to her incredible strength. She even incorporated physical training into every moment. While we were relaxing and enjoying lunch, she was still improving herself."
"What a terrifying willpower..."
The paladins spoke seriously, discussing in low voices, and all their words fell into Elsa's ears intact. She just ignored them - as long as she pretended not to hear, she wouldn't feel embarrassed.
When Inksa heard the knights' whispers, her eyes were suddenly filled with fighting spirit.
She must learn this.
In fact, Inksa felt that there must be reasons why people like Aisha were so powerful, and these reasons were hidden in every aspect of Aisha's life.
Inksa is very persistent and studious. After she came to the Holy See, she was thinking about how to improve herself and become a qualified saint. To this end, she has been reading the notes left by previous saints in her spare time. Among them, there is such a statement - the so-called holy nuns were originally friends and mentors on the saint's growth path, and as a saint, she should naturally learn more experience.
And Inksa clearly remembered the Sage and the Archbishop's evaluation of Aisha Faris: Aisha will be the most powerful Holy Sister in history.
In other words, Aisha is also the most powerful teacher.
At that time, Inksa made up her mind to ask Aisha for more advice - in order to gain more powerful strength and better fulfill the duties of a saint.
Because of this, Inksa has been secretly observing Aisha, wanting to learn something from her.
But Inksha soon discovered that there were so many things that made Elsa different from others that she couldn't learn from her even if she wanted to - at least it was too difficult for her now, which made Inksha very frustrated.
But soon, she found something she could learn: chopsticks. Chopsticks, it must be said, are a difficult utensil to describe. For Inksas, using chopsticks seemed to require a lot of finger coordination and control. She felt that Elsa's fingers were so slender and strong, probably because she used chopsticks.
This was her guess, exactly the same as what the paladins thought.
Inksha thought this was part of Elsa's training. She even trained her hands while eating, so she could wield weapons more powerfully and flexibly. The more Inksha thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Inksha thought she was working hard, but compared to Elsa, who practiced even while eating, it was clearly far from enough.
Elsa naturally had no idea what Inksha was imagining about her.
"If you don't think it's easy to use, don't force yourself. The same goes for knives and forks."
Elsa couldn't help but smile as she looked at Inksa's awkward look as she held the chopsticks. It takes time to learn how to use chopsticks. She just thought it was cute to see Inksa trying so hard to bend her fingers.
Inksa stole a glance at Aisha but didn't give up.
She felt she should try harder.
"I want to try again..."
Inksa's gaze became more determined, and she felt that she was on the path to becoming a great saint.
Soon, lunch officially came to an end amidst everyone's praise for the "Beer Duck Pot" - the person who was most impressed by Elsa's cooking skills was naturally Tricia. It was the first time she had truly tasted the flavor of food in more than 30 years. Every piece was fed to her by Elsa herself. As a person who had lived for more than a hundred years, she was taken care of by Elsa like a younger sister. This made Tricia feel a little embarrassed, but also felt an indescribable warmth.
Tricia was fascinated by the feeling she had when she was with Aisha.
Tricia almost forgot the feeling of being cared for and taken care of. She had always been the one being relied on - because she was a sage, and this was what she should do.
But in front of Elsa, none of this matters.
After lunch, everyone set off again - Elsa could feel that after this battle, the distance between her and the people in the Vatican had shortened. Perhaps this was the power of food. After all, food can make people happy, and this is a good time to build closer relationships.
All in all, the operation was successful.
Seeing that the time was right, Aisha didn't hesitate. She took the opportunity to chat and said to Inksa:
"Inksa, I actually have something I want to ask you for help with."
Elsa went straight to the point and talked about Alice, hoping that Inksha could help cure Alice's hidden illness. The other people in the carriage also quieted down. When the paladins heard that human traffickers kidnapped Alice, killed Alice's parents, and caused Alice to suffer from a lot of illnesses, they immediately frowned.
