Chapter 214 Lure the snake out of its hole
Andre, who originally thought he was just delivering evidence, ended up going to see King Mebri with Mebucha.
The knight who was forced to work overtime: "..." What's going on? He was still waiting to go home after get off work to eat the midnight snack made by Xiao Gua!
As a loyal minister, Overtime Dog silently swallowed his complaints and listened to the great magician Mebucha tell King Mebri all the details of the case they had figured out.
At this time, they were sitting in the reception room on the second floor of the palace. The lights were bright, dispelling the dark night.
"I have already received the list, but I was not in a hurry to act because of the Lich's ability."
His Majesty, intently filling his pipe with tobacco, casually agreed to Mebucha's plan. "The royal hunting grounds in the North Mountain should have been cleared. Now is the time of year when the game is at its best in autumn. Andre, make arrangements. Call over those who intend to rebel, and have Winston lead some of our men."
"Mebucha, make enough amulets for our people to take with them. Oh, and call that little lich along as well."
"Call Jiangyou?" Andre asked in confusion.
"Yes." The king lit his pipe and took a deep drag. "Only the lich can defeat the lich. She will be our trump card. When we succeed, I will reward you."
Seeing Andrei's hesitation, he couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, she won't be treated unfairly. Not only will she be able to eat as many souls as she wants, but she can also take whatever she wants from the wealth, land, and real estate confiscated from Evil Eye Moon."
"Ahem..." Andrei's mind suddenly flashed with the image of Jiang You smiling and counting money. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Then let me thank you for her kindness first."
A detailed plan to lure the snake out of its hole and catch the turtle in the jar gradually took shape as the three of them continued to refine it. This might be the most expensive trap in the history of the Principality of Huntington. If successful, His Majesty would finally be able to eliminate the Evil Eye Moon that had plagued him for so many years and restore peace to the world.
After a busy night, Andrei hurriedly left the palace and found the little dragon soundly sleeping in the garden. Leodore got up sleepily and said, "Ah, are we finally going home?"
"Well, thank you for your trouble." Andre said. He glanced at Leodore casually and saw that the land in the garden was covered with a thin layer of dragon crystal.
Leodo glanced down, then sheepishly dug up the dragon crystals with his claws and hid them in the grass. "...I think the gardeners here won't mind, right?"
"...Considering the value of Dragon Crystal, I think they won't mind, and might even be happy about it," Andre said dryly. "...Anyway, don't worry too much about this little issue. Let's go."
The silver-blue dragon soared into the sky again, and like a meteor, it crossed the skyline that had not yet lit up. When the entire royal capital was still fast asleep, it had already left quietly and headed towards the west city of Eston.
When they landed in the backyard of the brewery, they happened to catch Takuyu getting up and making breakfast.
"Hey, you guys are back~" Jiang You opened the window and leaned out: "Leodore, what would you like to eat in the morning?"
"Pig's blood soup! Fried dough sticks! And another serving of fried meatballs!" Leo ordered happily. If he wasn't afraid of knocking down Boss You's backyard wall, he'd be wagging his tail in happiness. "If you need work like this in the future, please feel free to call me! I'm always available!"
He used his claws to pick at his scales, tore off two and handed them to Jiangyou and Andre: "These are my scales, they have my magic power. You just need to rub the scales, and I can feel you calling me! I will come to you as soon as possible!"
"Hey, this is so convenient!" Jiang You took the scale and threw it into his head: "Come sit in the store, breakfast will be here soon!"
Since the Garden Restaurant opened and hired several chefs, including a retired military cook, Jiang You had Uncle Wolf deliver the several live pigs ordered by the restaurant every day, which the chef would personally slaughter. The advantage of this was that they could obtain many ingredients that Huntington people would not normally eat, but were actually very delicious.
For example, pig blood.
Pig's blood soup is a classic delicacy from the Chaoshan region, and many people enjoy a bowl for breakfast. Steaming hot and delicious, it's paired with fresh vegetables like garland chrysanthemum, watercress, and motherwort to enhance the flavor and nourish the body.
Jiangyou did not find motherwort in this world, but this is not a big problem. After all, Liuzi in the other world has long learned to adapt. People who are too entangled cannot survive in this world.
Jiang You took away half a basin of the fresh pig's blood that the chef had coagulated. Jiang You then cut the bright red pig's blood, which had been roughly cut into large chunks and was bouncy, into small squares of equal size.
The kitchen at the Garden Restaurant prepares a pot of fresh pork bone broth every night and simmers it until morning, when the rich and fragrant pork bone flavor is fully absorbed into the broth.
After the soup base in the pot boils, add pig blood, pork offal and lean meat, add the watercress that was just delivered this morning, and add lard, salt and other soul seasonings. You will get a bowl of traditional delicacy that is high in cholesterol but extremely delicious.
Alexi brought freshly made Puning tofu, fried dough sticks and fried meatballs, and the table was full of breakfast.
Andrei and Leodore simply washed off the dust on their bodies. They were already hungry after working all night.
Xiaolong returned to his human form and sat upright waiting at the table. Andre went into the kitchen and helped Jiangyou serve two bowls of pig's blood soup.
Leodo took the big bowl and buried his head in it impatiently, slurping up the smooth pig blood in big gulps while mumbling, "Delicious! Really delicious!"
——He looked like he was enjoying it extremely.
Jiangyou chuckled and handed him tofu and fried dough sticks, asking him to dip them in the soup.
Andrei took his bowl and sat at another table with Jiang You. He said succinctly, "His Majesty the King wants us to go hunting in the Beishan Royal Hunting Grounds in autumn. He needs your help. If the hunt is successful, he will give you a generous reward."
"Hunting?" Jiangyou tilted his head, quickly understanding Andre's meaning. "You mean, the kind of hunting to capture another lich?"
"Exactly."
Andrei moved closer to Jiangyou's ear and told her the whole story from beginning to end. Jiangyou's eyes lit up and her bone claws clenched into fists: "That's great! Even though that guy... seems a bit of a pie in the sky, it's still a big deal!"
She was full of energy: "When do we leave?"
