Chapter 238 Mushroom Soup and Gifts

Chapter 238 Mushroom Soup and Gifts

When the aroma of mushroom soup... is that an aroma?

Levi felt that his nose seemed to be not working properly.

Anyway - when the smell of mushroom soup wafted up, Morwen walked out of the room, fed the child and coaxed him to sleep, and after instructing the servants at home to take good care of him, she came out to check the situation at the stove.

“Are you making that soup again?”

"right."

After getting a positive answer, Mo Wen's expression was indescribable.

"This is what Levi taught me."

Senger said proudly.

Now Mo Wen's expression became even more indescribable.

She looked at Levi.

Under this gaze, Levi felt as if he had lost something, like his reputation in some aspect.

“Soon.”

Senger rubbed his hands and stared at the meat and sliced ​​mushrooms rolling in the pot with excitement on his face.

After staring at the pot for a few more minutes, he stirred it with a wooden spoon and declared it done.

As soon as the soup was ready, he scooped out a bowl and handed it to Levi first to taste.

Levi took the bowl and stared at the mushrooms in it for a while.

Hmm…Based on past experience, it is indeed well cooked, so it should be fine. Wait, what is that next to it, fat? It looks greasy, but…

Seeing Senger looking at him expectantly and diligently bringing him a small spoon, Levi couldn't refuse.

Forget it, it's okay if it's a little greasy. How can it be greasy than the greasy barbecue sauce in Erebor? Just as Levi scooped a small spoonful of soup and was about to drink it, he suddenly noticed another gaze.

It was Mo Wen. She shook her head repeatedly behind Senger, as if she was afraid that Levi didn't understand. She quickly pointed at the bowl of soup and waved her hand.

Don't drink.

These words almost came out of her mouth.

Levi gave her a look, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

I can eat rotten meat and maggoty bread, but I am afraid of this——

Gulp.

When the mushroom soup full of fat meat touched the tip of Levi's tongue, his breathing stagnated and his whole body froze.

I was careless.

He closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and swallowed the soup with difficulty.

Tongue has never suffered such a great injustice since following him.

Perhaps he knew mushroom soup well enough, but it was obvious that Morwen knew Senger better than he did.

Levi took a deep breath and glanced at the status bar.

[Nausea: 10s]

There was no loss of health, and no poisoning, it just had a simple taste that was hard to describe.

You know what, in a sense, this guy is really a genius.

"How about it?"

Senger asked with eyes wide open in anticipation, his face full of the joy of an apprentice showing his first work to his master.

I can't bear it.

I'm already so old, and I've finally developed an interest in learning a new skill. If I were to be hit by this setback, I'm afraid it would take me a long time to recover.

"It's okay."

Levi struggled to say something against his will.

There are not many people in this world who can make him do something against his will.

"Then drink more, there's still a lot in the pot."

Senger ignored the edge of the pot which was so hot that it could burn a person, and tried to move the entire pot of soup with his bare hands.

"Don't!"

Levi quickly stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

Senger was a little puzzled.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I actually had already eaten before this. Forgive me for not telling you in advance, I'm really not very hungry."

"This bowl is enough."

"All right."

Senger was a little discouraged, but he quickly recovered, served himself a bowl, and drank it happily.

"Sengger."

"What?"

"Have you been feeling unwell lately? Have you ever been sick, like having a cold? It can make your sense of taste less sensitive."

"How is that possible?"

Senger shook his head, flexed his muscles, and said:

"As you can see, I am very healthy. Diseases may plague people who lack exercise, but I am confident that even if I run around the streets naked in winter, everything will be normal the next day."

"That's really, very good."

Levi nodded and looked at the soup in the bowl with an embarrassed expression.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, chatted with Senger about this and that, laughed dryly, and was unable to eat.

When Senger finished his bowl of soup and went to get his second bowl, Mo Wen pointed to the place where his family disposed of garbage.

Li Wei immediately understood and poured the soup down.

"Done?"

Senger suddenly turned around and looked at Levi.

Levi's hands froze and he nodded guiltily.

"I'll serve you another bowl."

As he spoke, Senger was about to take Levi's bowl away.

Levi admitted that he was indeed a little stressed at this moment.

"no!"

"Ah, I mean, no, I'll do it myself if I have to."

Hearing this, Senger withdrew his hand with a slightly strange look on his face.

This... why are you still protecting the bowl?

This is the end of a simple meal.

Levi didn't intend to stay here for even a second—at least not during mealtimes.

He was afraid that Senger would cook another pot of soup, and he would not be able to refuse then.

It's better to leave this kind of thing for him to enjoy.

But before leaving, he still showed what he brought.

It was an amulet strung together with a rope. The outer frame was made of pure gold, and in the middle was a green gem that sparkled with magical light.

"I give this amulet to Théoden."

"It can protect the wearer from external attacks and harm, whether it is from swords or magic."

"Of course, there is a limit. When the magical light shining in the gem fades, it means that the amulet loses its power."

"But if one day it loses its power due to something, you can send it to Roadside Castle, and I will give it magic again so that it can continue to protect those who wear it."

Listening to Levi's story, Senger became more cautious.

He took the amulet and looked at it carefully. He felt that the gem inlaid in the golden frame gave him a heavy feeling, just like the earth.

This feeling is not wrong, this amulet does contain the power of the earth.

【Emergency Shield Amulet】

This thing is the same model as the one Levi is wearing. It can provide 7 points of shield, and after the shield is broken, it can immediately provide 7 points of shield again. This is the origin of the word "emergency".

All in all, it is equivalent to having 14 points of shield, which can definitely save lives at critical moments.

However, compared to physical defense, the most critical feature of the rune shield is its targeted defense against magical forces. It is precisely because of this that Levi can suppress the Ringwraiths so well.

It can restrain the magic of the Ringwraiths, and it can also restrain some wizards with bad intentions...

Just as he was thinking, Senger suddenly grabbed Levi's shoulders with both hands and said sincerely:

“I will remember this friendship.”

“This gift will always be with my children.”
