Chapter 164: Passerby in the Western Fantasy Adventure 13
"Mirror, mirror, please tell me who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Oh, that's not right." Cathy's mind popped up the classic line. She looked at the Mirror of Truth and exclaimed, "Great and noble Mirror of Truth, who knows everything, is there any way to quickly improve my abilities?"
The dark and simple frame of the Mirror of Truth shook, as if trying to shake off the non-existent goose bumps on its body.
Slight ripples appeared on the smooth mirror surface, and then a magic operation diagram appeared in front of Cathy. She hurriedly took out a roll of parchment from the drawer in the desk and quickly recorded the diagram with a goose feather pen.
After a while, the picture slowly faded from the mirror, and then a simple sketch of a red-haired, scribbled man waving a magic wand and working hard to plant trees was drawn.
Cathy stared at the long wavy hair of the little man in the picture with suspicion. Is this a picture of herself?
The red-haired scribbled man raised his two-stroke-drawn arms and waved a staff that looked like a tree branch. A bunch of messy tree branches sprouted from the ground. A gust of wind blew by, and most of the newly grown tree branches fell down. The rest were in disarray and looked dying. At this time, the red-haired man waved his staff again, and a new batch of tree branches sprouted on the mirror. There was another wind and sand...
Over and over again, in a cycle, after an unknown amount of time, the branches of the tree on the mirror continued to expand outward from the isolated island in the sea of sand, and finally... it seemed to have turned into an oasis?
Cathy twitched her lips. This magic mirror thought too highly of itself. With its current strength, it would probably run out of magic power after only producing a small seedling. If it wanted to grow the green trees and shades in the picture, it would have to plant trees in the desolate land for the rest of its life.
The animation on the screen was played twice. After confirming that the current owner could understand it, the Mirror of Truth quickly disintegrated into a ball of light and drilled into her hand.
Cathy, who had obtained two ways to become stronger, was not in a hurry. She first imprinted the operation diagram on the parchment scroll into her mind, and after making sure that she had memorized every line correctly, she opened the wooden window facing the sea buckthorn forest. Along with the hot afternoon sunlight, the fresh breath of life from the trees poured in.
Cathy sat cross-legged on a rattan cushion. She closed her eyes and quietly sensed the surging wood elements in the air. The jumping green dots happily wrapped her up. With her careful guidance, these small dots of light entered her body, made a circle along the operating route, and were finally absorbed by the crystal core in her body.
She didn't know how much time had passed. When she woke up from her meditation, the sun was already close to the horizon, but she didn't feel hungry at all.
Cathy sensed the wood element in her body and was surprised to find that she had broken through from a level 4 magic apprentice to a level 5. As long as she broke through two more levels, she would officially become a junior magician.
You know, not every magic apprentice can be officially promoted to a junior magician. Some magic apprentices with poor qualifications may be stuck at this level for their entire lives, and finally have to switch careers to become alchemists and research some low-level magic tools.
"You're coming out?" Ivis, who was sitting in the living room reading a book, closed the book when he heard the door open.
"Looks like you've made a lot of progress!" Sensing the wood element condensing around the girl, his dark eyes flashed with satisfaction, "If you don't come out, the sea buckthorn trees outside will be plucked out by you."
Cathy：Huh???
What does it mean that the sea buckthorn tree is almost being plucked out by her?
She opened the door hesitantly, only to see the lush green sea buckthorn tree's leaves rustling down. As the evening breeze blew, some of the few leaves on the treetops swirled down, making the sea buckthorn tree look even barer!
!!!
Where is her sea buckthorn tree with green canopy like clouds? What the hell is this branch with sparse leaves in front of me!
"There are few wood elements in the extreme wasteland. The reason why there are sufficient wood elements here is because of these sea buckthorn trees. Just now, you leveled up and absorbed too many wood elements, causing these trees to be unable to supply, so..."
"So they are bald..." Cathy murmured, and two pictures on the Mirror of Truth appeared in her mind. It turned out that they were not two methods but the sequence of one method of becoming stronger.
Then, she took out the magic wand from her space bracelet and directed a burst of magic power at the tree branches with sparse hair in front of her. Under the wave of green light, some new leaves finally sprouted on the branches.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the newly grown tender leaves tremble and stretch out majestically. The orange sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and scatters on the thick pile of fallen leaves under the tree. The overlapping of light and shadow is the alternation of life and death.
The setting sun in the distance gradually disappeared on the horizon, leaving only a red glow on the horizon.
The night wind blew on Cathy's face, feeling slightly cool. She touched her hungry stomach and suddenly felt a craving for noodles. So she turned to look at the young man leaning against the door: "Ivis, how about noodles tonight?"
Ivis, who had been drinking potions for a day to fill his stomach, raised his lips slightly, and said with some anticipation: "Okay."
Cathy did what she said. She took out a bag of flour from the kitchen cabinet, poured some water, oil and salt into the white flour several times, mixed them well, and then kneaded it into dough.
She covered the kneaded dough with a piece of white cloth and set it aside to ferment. She also picked a few red fire fruits from the cabin in the afternoon. This kind of fruit tastes very much like chili peppers. It is spicy as soon as you put it in your mouth, as if it is burning, hence the name.
I also picked a few onions and mushrooms, washed them all and set them aside.
Cathy hadn't finished eating the monsters she brought back last time, so she cut a piece of fatty and lean pork belly, softened it with the back of a knife, and cut it into thin strips.
Light the stove, heat oil in a pan, stir-fry the fruits first, then add the meat strips. When the meat strips turn slightly yellow, add mushrooms and onions and stir-fry together.
When the side dishes were fried until slightly soft, she took a can of chickpea sauce from the cupboard, scooped two tablespoons of the brown sauce into the pot, then added some water to slightly cover the vegetables in the pot, covered the pot with a lid and waited for the water to cook into a viscous texture before serving.
At this time, the dough on the side had also expanded a little. Cathy took out a rolling pin and rolled the dough out in all directions until it was rolled into a thin rectangular sheet.
At this time, sprinkle fine flour on the surface of the dough, fold it in half, roll it out, fold it in half again, and roll it out again. After doing this three times, cut the dough into evenly coarse and fine noodles.
The toppings in the pot are cooked and placed on a plate for later use.
After the noodles are cooked and rinsed with cold water, they are divided into two portions and placed in glazed large bowls. The fragrant and thick topping is evenly spread on the chewy noodles, which looks particularly tempting.
There was a plate of noodles with mixed sauce in front of Ivis. He imitated the girl opposite him and mixed the sauce with a fork. He took a bite and found the fresh and fragrant sauce and chewy noodles very refreshing.
By the time the reaction had finished, only a few onion shreds were left stuck to the bottom of the bowl.
His face looked embarrassed and tipsy, and the girl opposite him was so absorbed in the delicious food that she didn't even raise her head from eating and didn't notice him.
At this moment, a lone moon hung high in the sand. A magician wrapped in a robe and a swordsman carrying a heavy sword sat on the back of a sand armor beast and headed west.
Abner waved his staff and set up a protective shield around the sand beast. The desolate land at night was a place where monsters hunted and killed.
Oh, I’m so worried!
Thinking about what happened to Chief Sana, he couldn't help but worry about the education of his little girl, Xiao Baicai.
