Thanks to the richly rewarded missing person quests posted in every wizard tower, Sigourney and her companions avoided trouble by walking around the town.
Fortunately, Meng had rich experience in living in the wild and had enough daily necessities, which allowed Ash to experience the pure and natural scenery of the northern snowfields.
Ash thought Uncle Meng was truly amazing.
He found a bush, and with his fingers dancing, he drew a few circles, and the trunks were cut into suitable shapes, put together, and assembled into a simple carriage. He looked down at the traces under his feet, and without the need for astrology magic, he easily found the herd of thorny horned deer, and tamed two horned deer to pull the cart for them.
Not to mention that along the way, he can count all the inconspicuous plants, animals, and even insects, and find out which one is particularly delicious.
Even something that looks disgusting can become extraordinarily delicious in Meng's hands.
Therefore, even though he had been in the wild all the time, Ash felt that he had gained two kilograms.
He learned a lot from Meng, who was a learned man. His knowledge did not come from books, but from his rich and colorful experiences in almost all of Iluf.
Although he left the college during this period, he gained far more than what he learned in the college.
In addition to gaining knowledge, Ash also discovered another talent of his own by being with Meng.
...He seems to be a good cook, especially when it comes to stews.
It's not about knife skills or seasoning, in short, he's not good at cooking in the normal sense. If you ask him to grill meat or stir-fry vegetables, he will burn them or cook them half-cooked if he's not careful.
But if you give him a bunch of unfamiliar foods to cook a big pot, and let him do whatever he wants, the ingredients he throws into the pot will always make the taste of the whole pot reach the most balanced and delicious level.
It seemed as if with divine help, the dishes I chose happened to be the ones that were most compatible with my taste.
So Meng laughed and said that Ash's cooking does not rely on his skills but on luck.
Sigourney's reaction was indifferent. She was so used to Ash's good luck that she could ignore it.
But he couldn't pretend not to see it - these past few days, Ash had been getting closer to Meng, and except for the fixed time for meditation every day, he was almost always whispering to Meng in a mysterious way.
Today, it was time to set up camp and rest.
They chose a place behind a snow hill that was sheltered from the wind and set up a magic tent.
Sigourney didn't need to eat, so Ash and Meng went out to prepare dinner again.
What new and delicious dishes Ash can cook has become Ash and Meng's common expectation every day.
There is no fixed recipe, and the taste is different every time. It is like a surprise box, and they treat it as a fun game.
Sigourney sat at the entrance of the tent, her eyes fixed on the backs of two people who were huddled around the fire with great interest.
After looking for a while, he withdrew his gaze and simply took out a book from his space bracelet - it happened to be a novel of Yelena that he had confiscated. He lowered his head and began to flip through it boredly.
After turning a few pages, I saw the heroine waving a whip and scolding the hero, "Joseph! You are a heartless liar! You don't cherish it after you get it! I curse the devil to eat your soul!" The hero replied frivolously, "Hey, my lovely sweetheart, aren't all men like this?"
"..." Sigourney closed the book expressionlessly, and the pages turned to ashes silently in his hands.
When he looked up again, he saw Ash's profile smiling at Meng.
He moved his fingers slightly, and he really wanted to pinch the boy's face hard again.
But he still didn't go over.
Why would vampires join in the fun when humans are eating?
He got up and went into the tent, and got into the black coffin he brought with him. The inscriptions engraved on the black coffin were of great help to the vampire, especially in delaying his bloodthirstiness and preventing him from getting hungry too quickly, so he had been resting in the coffin recently.
On the other side, Meng watched Ash working like a diligent little bee, and he only stopped after cooking ten dishes in one breath.
These ten dishes are the best ones he and Ash chose from their recent innovative dishes, and each one tastes top-notch.
"Almost done?" Meng asked doubtfully, "Can you finish it?"
Ash patted his belly, implicitly confident: "Don't worry, the capacity here is huge!"
Meng was still a little skeptical and shook his head: "Why did this happen all of a sudden? Is today a holiday worth celebrating?"
Ash blinked and just smiled without saying anything.
"I am full." Meng stood up and looked at him helplessly, "Take your time to finish it. If you waste food, be careful that your uncle will spank you." Although he said so, the expression on his face told Ash that if he really couldn't finish the food, he could wait for him to come back to help.
Ash nodded, and saw Meng stand up and walk deeper into the darkness - when they set up camp, Meng had said that there was a hunter friend of his nearby, an ordinary human, and he planned to visit him tonight.
Sigourney and Ash have been too busy lately to go with them, so they have to be left behind.
After watching Meng leave, Ash took out a purple crystal ball from his space bracelet.
This was a gift from Meng to him.
Meng has traveled to many places and encountered many animals, even magical beasts. Once he finds a creature that interests him, he will collect all the information about it from head to toe.
Therefore, he has a breath collector called the "Sphere of Everything".
He replicated the aura of all the creatures that interested him in the Sphere of All Things.
As for the creatures that Meng was interested in, except for the rare and precious ones, most of the others were fierce and powerful. Especially the various magical beasts that almost made him lose his life, he would definitely collect the opponent's aura and store it.
As Ash was listening to Meng talking about his adventures, he happened to hear Meng mention this ball of everything.
In order to give Ash a better immersive experience, Meng activated the Sphere of All Things and chose the fifth-level Warcraft Sharp Gold Armor.
"This is the breath emitted by the Sharp Gold Armor when it is sleeping. It is relatively gentle. Can you feel it?" Meng said so. However, Ash still felt a shudder at that time. It was an instinctive reaction to being close to danger. The avicular muscles on his skin stood up.
He had been thinking about one thing recently, and at that moment his eyes lit up. He saw an opportunity to solve his problem in the Sphere of All Things.
Meng saw that he seemed very interested in the All-Knowing Ball, so he used another blank backup ball to replicate the aura of the original All-Knowing Ball and gave it to Ash as a gift. He said that when encountering a monster with low IQ, he could also use the aura collected in this ball to disguise himself and scare them away.
The purple ball that Ash took out now was a replica of the Ball of Everything.
He sniffed the aroma of the food and pursed his lower lip nervously.
"It must succeed!"
He muttered softly, then selected the aura of the eighth-level monster "Wild Fire Snapping Turtle" and released it.
The next second, an extremely terrifying aura was suddenly released beside the fire, and then suddenly disappeared.
Meng, who had already walked far away, felt this familiar breath and shook his head with a smile: "How brave." He told Ash that the breath of this alligator turtle was hastily collected when the alligator turtle was chasing him, and he was able to escape by triggering the teleportation of the ruins.
When he was on the verge of life and death, he subconsciously collected the breath of the alligator snapping turtle, and actually succeeded, and became the most terrifying breath in the Sphere of All Things.
The alligator snapping turtle's targeted killing intent, high-level pressure, and terrifying strength all converged into a physical aura. If an ordinary person were to face this aura for even a second, they would probably faint.
Meng didn't think Ash would be unable to bear it. This boy had given him many surprises these days. And...wasn't Sigourney still here?
Thinking of this, Meng had no intention of turning back to take a look, and continued to visit his friend in a good mood.
Ash stood there, facing the extremely real breath of the alligator snapping turtle killing at close range, and just as Meng had imagined, he still stood firmly there.
But he closed his eyes, and seemed to be frightened by the terrifying breath.
But soon, the breath disappeared and he opened his eyes.
But strangely, when Ash opened his eyes again, his light blue eyes were no longer crystal clear. Instead, they were like a frozen lake, with a cold surface and a dark bottom.
If Meng was still here, he would probably recognize that the look belonged to Sigourney.
It was like a Sigourney had taken up residence inside Ash's body.
It is indeed Sigourney who is controlling Ash's body now.
He was originally in the black coffin with his eyes closed.
I also heard Meng's farewell voice.
I'm kind of looking forward to the scene where the kid eats himself to death.
In the midst of my casual thoughts, I suddenly sensed a huge, oppressive aura, as if it was sharp and terrifying enough to kill me.
The aura was very close and suddenly erupted just outside the tent.
He didn't have time to think about how a creature with such a breath could avoid his perception. He suddenly came out of the tent, and suddenly his eyes went dark - a familiar feeling - and he exchanged bodies with Ash Elwyn again.
He was not surprised.
Ash would be in imminent danger of death if he faced a creature with such a breath outside. It was expected that the contract would initiate self-rescue and exchange him with the boy.
So the moment she opened her eyes, Sigourney looked around vigilantly——
It's calm.
Peaceful night, silent snowfield.
No danger was detected.
He frowned in confusion. What was going on?
Then he noticed the "Ball of Everything" in Ash's hand.
He understood the whole thing at once.
The contract was deceived by the breath in the sphere of all things.
Contract sensed the terrifying aura and determined that Ash's life was in danger and he could not protect himself in front of it, so he decisively pulled him over and completed the exchange between the two.
Wasn't he deceived just now?
Great job, you're using your brain now, you even dare to test and cheat on the contract.
"Ash Elwyn!" he yelled in a very horrible low voice, and it was surprising that Ash's body could actually make such a sound.
"Sigourney!" A tall young man ran out of the tent. He smiled so happily that his perfect and delicate face seemed to be glowing and looked very beautiful.
"I did it!" he said excitedly.
