Chapter 392 Blood Crystal Wheat
After doing this for about an hour, the number of shell-stealing crab eyes in the bag in Gothe's hand has reached more than seventy.
"Call it off!" Gothe saw the sky turn from blue to black and decided to call it a day.
Having gem sweet berries to build a nest, he was confident about the task of [Crab Disaster Hazard], and there was no shortage of time. There was no need to "work overtime."
"Just stay here and play by yourself, don't go too far, I will come back to you tomorrow morning." Gothe looked at the still energetic Tuanzi, thought about it, and finally did not let it enter the capybara bag, but left it in the sea.
When Tuanzi heard Gao De’s words, he nodded his little round head excitedly.
Waving goodbye to Tuanzi, Gao De [strided] and rushed back to Monte Town before night fell completely.
In such a small town, the one-day accommodation standard of Sea Sentinel 3 Silver Dragon can already allow Gaode to stay in the highest-standard and highest-grade hotel in the entire town.
He opened the room, put away his things, and prepared to go out.
One is to find a place to eat, and the other is to take a stroll in Monte Town after the meal.
Just like in the previous life, whether you are going out for training or to participate in a competition, you must go out for a walk in the evening, and it is a trip at public expense.
Before he had even taken two steps out of the gate, Gaode was stopped by someone.
"Master Gaode, Master Gaode, wait!"
He stopped and looked back.
It was the Sheriff who received him in the Sheriff's Department in the afternoon.
"Sheriff Malcolm?" Gothe recalled for a moment, and finally remembered the other party's name, "What do you want from me?"
"Master Gothe" Malcolm trotted up to Gothe and calmed down. After taking a breath, he said: "Our Director Harper heard that Master Gothe came to Monte Town today to solve the hidden danger of crab plague for us, so he specially prepared a banquet for you, and asked Master Gothe to reward you."
It is said that the Sea Sentinel Master is very popular in Byro County.
But the last time he went to Lagos to perform a mission, maybe it was because Lagos is a big city and the local officials were self-reliant and full of arrogance; maybe it was because his military rank was too low and they looked down upon him; or maybe it was because the mission he performed was not popular with the local officials.
In short, Gaode did not feel any importance, and the so-called "eating can be enjoyed" has no origin.
But now, Gaode finally understands it.
Good life!
He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Sheriff Malcolm to lead the way."
He was going to eat anyway, and there was someone to serve, so if he didn't eat, he would get nothing.
Seeing Gothe nod, Malcolm breathed a visible sigh of relief.
The two walked through several stone-paved streets and arrived at their destination.
After all, the hotel where Gothe stayed was the best in the town, and most of the other high-end restaurants, pubs, etc. were also concentrated in this area.
This is a rather stylish brick and stone building, with a unique Dornish complex decoration on the exterior and exquisite columns.
"Master Goude, this is the most famous restaurant in our town. The director is hosting a banquet here." Malcolm introduced with a smile, and at the same time took a step ahead of Goude and raised his hand to push open the reddish-brown wooden door.
As soon as you enter the door, a warm breath greets you.
"Welcome." A young waiter in black uniform has already come forward to greet him, bowing slightly with a smile on his face.
Malcolm whispered to the other party for a few words, and the latter led them to a private room in the restaurant.
When he arrived at the door of the private room, the waiter opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
In the private room, a long red peach wood table was set up, covered with a tablecloth embroidered with exquisite patterns.
There are several high-backed chairs placed next to the table. The seat surfaces are made of soft goose down. There is also a fireplace standing in the corner of the room. The firewood inside is burning, exuding a warm atmosphere, dispelling the coolness of the seaside town at night.
A small town that has not even built an airship base can actually have a restaurant of this size.
As expected, poor places do not necessarily have fewer places for luxury consumption.
· Chief Harper of the Sheriff’s Department was already sitting in the private room.
When he saw Gaode coming in, he immediately stood up and hurried forward to greet him, with a warm smile on his face: "Master Gaode, you are here. I have admired your name for a long time. You are really a young talent."
"I have admired the name for a long time." Gao De suspected that he heard it wrong.
You are already an old man, yet you still say such fake polite words?
The other party seemed to understand what Gothe was thinking, and said again: "You are a seed newcomer who performed well in the Sea Sentinel selection last year. You may not know it, but we have heard of your name."
"It is said that new recruits are promoted very quickly, but it is extremely rare for someone like you to be promoted to a first-class trainee mage less than half a year after joining the Sea Sentinel." Director Harper said half-praisingly and half-truthfully.
The reason why he entertained Gothe so solemnly was because of the position of the sea sentinel. Even if the person who came down was just a trainee mage, he, the director of the Sheriff's Department of a small town, would not dare to neglect him.
Secondly, Director Harper is really optimistic about Gaode's development and feels that he can make friends with him appropriately.
Although he has heard some rumors about Gothe, he knows that Gothe is not a native of the Plantagenet Dynasty, and there are hidden dangers in future development.
But it's just a meal and a few nice words, and it doesn't cost too much, so you still have to entertain.
In this way, if Gao De really becomes successful in the future, even if he remembers his meal, at least he will not feel that he has been left out in the cold.
Some people are so petty that they may hold grudges for a long time over even the smallest of occasions.
Inviting Gothe to sit down, Sheriff Malcolm followed suit.
Director Harper nodded to the waiter beside him.
The waiter understood this and immediately turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Not long after, carefully prepared dishes were served on the table.
As a seaside town, the cuisine is naturally seafood-based
The characteristic seafood soup, the seafood flavor is mixed with the richness of cream, and the taste is silky.
The grilled sturgeon is grilled until the skin is golden and crispy, paired with lemon wedges and a unique local herb sauce. It melts in your mouth and has a rich and layered taste.
There is also a pie made with crab meat, with a golden and fluffy crust and a mellow taste on the inside.
Gothe was also polite, and enjoyed Director Harper's obedient words.
好听话全收，不过他自己却是基本没怎么说话，只是偶尔微微点头，或者应个话，主打一个沉默寡言的外乡天才人设。
As Director Harper is a veteran, even if Gothe says less, he will not let the scene cool down.
Occasionally praise a few words of virtue, occasionally introduce some anecdotes or interesting customs in Monte Town, and occasionally mention a few gossips about sea sentries. He is simply more professional than a bard.
But after all, there is no mention of Gao De’s mission in the town.
This is where he is shrewd again.
Everyone knows how difficult it is to deal with the hidden dangers of crab disaster, and one can imagine how troubled Gothe is. Therefore, Director Harper will never mention anything that may cause Gothe’s negative emotions, so as not to destroy the harmonious atmosphere.
In the warm hospitality of Director Harper, a sumptuous dinner was finally eaten.
Gaode wiped his mouth with a towel.
Seeing Gothe's action, Director Harper knew that he was already preparing to leave the table, and nodded lightly to the attendant who had been waiting aside.
The waiter immediately retreated, and a moment later came up with three small bowls of exquisite desserts.
The waiter carefully placed the three desserts in front of the three of them, and paired them with an exquisite ceramic spoon.
Gaode picked up the spoon, took a spoonful, and stuffed it into his mouth.
This dessert is somewhat like a yogurt cup, with some cut local fruits on top, and then yogurt and honey on the bottom.
But after taking a spoonful, Gothe was surprised to find that there was a layer of base material underneath the yogurt and honey.
It is something red, crystal clear, slender, and like wheat kernels.
With curiosity, Gothe dug out another spoonful of the red wheat kernels, mixed it with yogurt and honey, and put it into his mouth.
This red wheat kernel is chewy and paired with the sour and sweet taste of yogurt and honey. Even without the various additives and accessories of previous desserts, the taste is surprisingly good.
But what Gothe didn't expect was that as the mouthful of dessert entered his stomach, an extremely comfortable heat rose up from his body and slowly flowed through his limbs, giving him a feeling of full energy.
Hmm?
Gaude silently glanced at the dessert in the bowl, scooped out a few more spoons and stuffed them into his mouth, finally confirming that it was not his imagination.
"Director Harper, what is this?" He raised his head and looked at Director Harper and asked.
This is the first time tonight that he has actively spoken except for passively answering questions.
"Hahaha, this must be the first time Master Gaode has eaten blood crystal wheat, right?" Director Harper had a proud smile on his face.
"Blood Crystal Wheat?" Gothe repeated, a bright light flashed in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Here Director Harper was already minding his own business introducing Gothe.
"This blood crystal wheat comes from the east of Nolan Continent."
"Eastern" Gothe's eyes flashed, and he vaguely guessed the answer.
"Yes, it is a specialty of the Holy Empire," Director Harper laughed loudly: "Mage Gothe should know that the Holy Empire first originated from the union of barbarian tribes."
Gothe nodded.
He still had this basic common sense. Several barbarian tribes walked out of the wilderness and came to the civilized area, and jointly occupied an ancient city.
Then starting from this ancient city, it slowly expanded to the surrounding areas until it became the Holy Empire that now spans three continents and is at its peak
"You know, barbarians are generally very strong." Director Harper made a gesture of flexing his muscles, with a slight hint of ridicule in his tone.
"In addition to living like a savage, how can we not be strong? In addition, there is another very important reason, which is diet."
"This blood crystal barley is a kind of barley accidentally discovered by those barbarian tribes. It tastes very good, and it also has the effect of replenishing qi and blood. Taking it as a staple food can strengthen the body. In addition, it The whole body is as red as blood, so it was named Blood Crystal Wheat. "
"It is because of the discovery of Blood Crystal Wheat that these barbarian tribes gradually grew stronger and walked out of the barbaric land."
"So, to exaggerate, this Blood Crystal Wheat can even be called the founding product of the Holy Empire."
Director Harper spread his hands, "Of course, they definitely don't recognize it. In the Holy Empire's perception, their ancestors walked out of the barbaric land with perseverance and outstanding talent."
"But anyway, this Blood Crystal Wheat is worth a lot of money due to its excellent efficacy and the stories and rumors about its blessing.
In addition, The cultivation conditions for this stuff are extremely harsh, and the annual output in the Holy Empire is extremely limited. After they digest it internally, only a very small part will flow out. It is not easy to get some. "
"I happen to have some channels and can get a small batch of blood crystal wheat every year." Although Director Harper is telling the truth, the meaning of showing off in his words is also obvious.
「今晚要为高德法师接风，我才特地取了一些过来，就是为了给高德法师尝尝，一般客人我可舍不得那这玩意招待。」
出了「血」，自然是要让高德知道，这样对方才能承他的情。
"I can be regarded as being blessed by Master Gothe." Malcolm followed, not only accepting Director Harper's words, but also complimenting Gothe.
They are all human beings.
It's just that I'm virtuous at the moment, but my mind is not on these things.
"Director Harper, do you still have unprocessed blood crystal wheat grains on hand? Can you give me some? I am willing to pay double the price." He looked at Director Harper and said seriously.
"Unprocessed blood crystal wheat grains?" Gothe's request was obviously beyond Director Harper's expectations. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "What does Master Gothe want this for?"
, isn’t it already overflowing? "
He looked serious and said to Gothe seriously: "You are by no means the first person to want to grow blood crystal wheat. Over the years, I don’t know how many people have tried to grow this thing, but without exception, they have all failed."
“The cultivation conditions of this thing are harsh and top secret. Only the Holy Empire knows their cultivation requirements and methods, and they have done an excellent job of keeping secrets and have never revealed the secret of blood crystal wheat cultivation.”
"Director Harper, I still want to give it a try," Gothe was not dissuaded, but insisted: "I have always been interested in herbalism and planting techniques, and I am not an ignorant person. , knowing that it is almost impossible to grow blood crystal wheat, but the main reason is to see Hunter Xin. "Oh? I didn't expect Master Gothe to like this?" Director Harper was surprised when he heard what Gothe said.
In his case, Gothe is the character of a taciturn and unsociable genius mage, but he actually has hobbies that are so incompatible with his character.
Genius mages should only be interested in magic, so why would they dabble in these "miscellaneous subjects"?
Surprised, Director Harper already agreed neatly, "I brought a lot of blood crystal wheat here. After making these three bowls of desserts, there are still some left. I will ask the attendant to sort them out and give them to Master Gothe."
"Thank you, Director Harper." Gothe solemnly thanked you.
Director Harper smiled.
Humistically, Gothe, who had been working hard all night and remained unmoved, would be moved by this blood crystal wheat in the end.
It's just twenty or thirty grains of blood crystal wheat left, not as many as the grains of blood crystal wheat used for dessert.
Said to be valuable, but how valuable is this amount?
But the happiness on Gothe’s face was not fake.
With some worthless gadgets, I made friends with this promising and talented mage and made a lot of money!
Director Harper was extremely satisfied and felt that the meal was really worth it.
…
Harsh? Top secret?
In front of the "great" Lady Flora, as long as it is a plant, there is no secret.
Flora can definitely grow the blood crystal wheat that others cannot grow.
Why did he name the hybrid of cold-resistant wheat and golden wheat as Northwest Barley No. 1?
It is because in Gaode's expectation, there will be more varieties of barley in the northern land in the future.
That is, Northwest Barley No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4
ˆ Now, the signs of Northwest Barley No. 2 have appeared.
With a free meal and a lot of good words, I also got a powerful wheat seed.
Gaode was extremely satisfied and felt that this meal was really worth it!
