Chapter 141: Cheese Baked Scorpion Lion Tail

Palace, hall.

The servants looked at the manticore on the cart with frightened expressions on their faces.

The Scorpion-tailed Lion, this notorious and terrifying monster, is more feared by adventurers than the Griffin! Ye Zhi glanced at the cold Scorpion-tailed Lion and rubbed his chin: "In other words, your expedition was a great success?"

"Thanks to the Baron's kindness."

The tall, blonde, lion-eared lady from the Isu tribe spoke in a respectful tone.

"If you hadn't arranged for Lord Phocas to provide support, this operation wouldn't have gone so smoothly, so I came to express my gratitude to you."

Ye Zhi nodded slightly, and with the idea of ​​winning over talented people, he said, "Stay for dinner before leaving."

"Well... I'm just a mercenary. If I attend your dinner, will it damage your prestige?" Helga said cautiously.

Ye Zhi smiled slightly: "It's okay, I love making friends all my life. Besides, there may be a place for cooperation with the Scorpion Lion Mercenary Group in the future."

Helga couldn't help but feel a liking for this handsome and humble baron, and nodded solemnly:

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Baron!"

Then.

Yeats learned the details of the operation through Phocas.

Ye Zhi felt strange when he heard that the Snow Owl had summoned a snow leopard using the 'Summon Magic Pet' spell.

Just summon me over there someday!

The door of the hall was pushed open, and a girl with a ponytail and wearing riveted leather armor walked in and said casually:

"I've finished my investigation. I'm so hungry, Yeats. What's for dinner?"

Ye Zhi pointed at the manticore corpse on the cart and said calmly, "Eat this."

Gray and Helga's eyes widened at the same time: "Huh?!"

Fokasi was also startled, thinking to himself that fortunately, the antidote that the young master gave me has not been finished yet! Helga had just agreed to attend the dinner, and now cold sweat was oozing from her forehead. She said nervously: "Well... Baron, you are not from the southern continent, so you may not know that the manticore is a magical beast. It is inedible... It has scorpion venom in its body, and this toxin is enough to kill a three-ring extraordinary person!"

Ye Zhi repeated his old words and said calmly, "If we remove the poisonous parts, can't we eat it?"

Helga was a little confused... Could it be that the Baron was also a food master? But even if he was a food master, he would not attack a manticore! The scorpion tail of this magical beast is the raw material for making the [Manticore Potion], and the Manticore Potion is one of the potions that a wanderer can choose to upgrade to an assassin.

In the southern continent, extraordinary people must make a will before drinking the scorpion lion potion.

Helga was sweating profusely... This was the case with potions, not to mention cooking with a manticore!

Gray looked around the manticore and seemed to have made up her mind. She patted Helga on the shoulder and said with an experienced tone: "Although it looks inedible, you have to believe Yeats... Even a manticore can make it delicious!"

Yeats looked at Gray in surprise.

Helga gave a very forced smile.

"I've already agreed to attend the dinner, so I can't regret it later." Helga thought to herself, "A dish made from a manticore? At worst, I won't eat a single bite... I don't want to die young!"

In the kitchen.

Under Gray's curious gaze.

Ye Zhi condensed shadows in his palm and woven them into a kitchen knife. While processing the ingredients, he explained:

"The most delicious part of a manticore is actually its tail... but because it contains scorpion venom, you first need to insert an iron skewer into the tail to release some of the venom."

Ye Zhi pulled out the iron skewer that was corroded by the venom, took a glance at it, and continued, "Then cut the scorpion's tail along the midline, remove the venom glands inside, and take out some of the scorpion meat for later use."

"The meat of a manticore is sour and hard, so only the lion bones are suitable for making broth. Lion bone broth can bring out the delicious flavor of the scorpion meat, so it is suitable for making [Scorpion Lion Soup]."

"As for the remaining scorpion tail meat... use cheese, butter, garlic cloves, olive oil and pepper to make [Cheese Baked Scorpion Tail]!"

Gray: (﹃) It sounds delicious!

[Scorpion Lion Potion] contains a neurotoxin that can make the assassin's adrenaline more active.

Yeats used this property and neutralized it with herbs, so that Manticore cuisine has the ability to stimulate the recovery of the Circle of Life.

Half an hour later.

Yeats divided the two dishes into small portions and asked Gray to help carry them to the table.

"Sorry for the wait!"

The servant pushed a cart with plates on it, and Gray placed two dishes covered with bell-shaped lids in front of Fokas and Helga one by one.

"Scorpion Soup and Cheese-Baked Scorpion Tail, please enjoy!" Gray said with a smile.

The moment the bell-shaped lid was opened, a strange fragrance hit her face, causing Helga to open her eyes slightly.

Look at the two dishes in front of you: the surface of the thick soup is covered with a layer of soft and rich cream, which slightly exudes a milky aroma, mixed with the aroma of onions, carrots and herbs.

The scorpion tail is baked with cheese. The scorpion tail is covered with a layer of golden cheese, the outer shell is slightly burnt brown, and under the cheese is the jade-white scorpion tail meat.

Helga was shocked.

How could such a terrifying manticore be made into such a delicious delicacy?! Helga was in a state of intense confusion, then she picked up her knife and fork, picked up a piece of scorpion meat mixed with cheese, and tasted it in small bites.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Suddenly.

The blonde's cheeks flushed and her lion ears trembled slightly.

Her pupils were dilated as she immersed herself in the scent of pleasure and satisfaction and slowly exhaled a breath of hot air.

"I never thought that a manticore could be so delicious." Helga praised sincerely, "Lord Yeats, you are the most powerful gourmet I have ever seen in my life!"

Clang.

Phokas's spoon fell on the table.

His expression was one of disbelief, and his aura gradually rose.

In an instant, the Tree of Life came back to life, and golden aura surged from Phocas' body, as if he had arrived in the third environment realm!

The old knight's lips trembled slightly, his eyes were incredulous, and he cast a questioning look at Ye Zhi who was sitting on the main seat.

"It seems you have recovered, Phocas." Yeats smiled slightly.

Phocas nodded vigorously, but saw the silver-haired boy said calmly:

"With me here, it won't be difficult for you to return to the Fourth Ring Road in the future."

Fokasse felt his eyes getting warm, raised his arm to wipe them, and then thanked Yeats in a hoarse voice.

"There's no need to thank me between you and me, Fukas." Ye Zhi smiled, "Besides, your improved strength will be of great help to Morning Frost Ridge."

Phocas nodded deeply.

This scene fell into the eyes of Helga of the Scorpion Lion Mercenary Group. She thought to herself:

"From the small details, we can see the big picture. Baron Yezhi treats the family knights in this way, so he will definitely not mistreat the mercenaries who work for him... It can also be a way out for them to flee to Morning Frost Ridge in the future..."

Manticore cuisine helps Phocas return to the three rings.

Ye Zhi discovered that after eating the manticore food, his soul power was slightly enhanced.

Although it's still too early to reach the third ring, it's already a rapid progress! "The day after tomorrow is the Mist Festival."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "From the plot of the game, there is indeed a lake monster in Lake Ness, but most of the Mist believers think that the lake monster is fictional, a trick made up by their own people to deceive outsiders..."

“If the lake monster showed up at the festival, it would definitely shock a large number of Mist believers.”

"Based on my understanding of the Goddess of Mist..."

"The more confused her followers are, the happier she is!"
