Nian Bing nodded, and said: "But, the top-level magic gemstones are so easy to find, I'm already lucky, and now there are only four pieces. There are still three types of soil, space, and darkness. You know Is there any? You have so many collections, are there no top gems among them?"
Galamandis said slightly angrily: "My boy, the idea is on my head. No, no, if you want to use it, you can find it yourself. Don't forget, even your gems should belong to me. Now it's just a loan It’s just for your use. What did you say to take me to Oran City to eat special delicacies, shit, Oran City didn’t even go around enough to leave, you’re clearly just looking for someone.”
Nian Bing said with some embarrassment: "You have also seen that because of the war, the Oran Empire is so depressed, and of course there are very few delicacies in all aspects. After all, only the country can prosper. This time it is different. Our destination It is the prosperous Huarong Empire, and at that time, there will naturally be delicious food. My teacher once said that the most senior chefs gather in the Huarong Empire."
Galamandis compared his fist to Nian Bing, and said: "This is the best, if I find out that you lied to me again, you will die."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Lying to you? How could it be? Galamandis, I thought of a magic combination again. How about letting me try it? Target you."
Galamandis froze, and said, "You want to use me as a target? It's a beautiful idea."
Nian Bing tempted: "A big pot of pearl jade white jade porridge. Do you want to do it?"
Upon hearing this. Galamandis suddenly moved. Glancing at Nian Bing, he hesitated. Nian Bing hurriedly said: "Great Galamandis, you also know that if I cast magic directly, it will inevitably cause a lot of magic fluctuations, which will easily cause unnecessary trouble. But it will be different with you. A barrier can easily block my magic."
Two pots of pearl, emerald and white jade porridge should be made for me wholeheartedly, otherwise there will be no discussion. "Galamandis made his demands.
"No problem, what you say counts." Nian Bing smiled and looked at Galamandis, whether it was a human or a dragon, as long as he had weaknesses, he was not afraid that he would not give in.
A red light flashed, covering Nian Bing's body, followed by a silver light, and the two disappeared on the official road at the same time.
Half an hour later, there were two more people on the official road, one was naturally the complacent Galamandis, and the other. Then it is Nian Bing with a gray face and a pale face.
"Why is this, Galamandis, you pervert, how can you reflect magic." Although Nian Bing's voice was angry, it seemed weak.
Galamandis laughed and said, "Will your enemies be merciful to you? If you want to survive better, you should work hard to find a way. When will the pearl, emerald and white jade porridge be made?"
Nian Bing fell into deep thought. He didn't understand why. The magic he came up with this time was to use the same origin of ice and fire plus two kinds of mimicry. A total of four kinds of magic were fused, but the power produced was not as strong as that of the two alone that day. . What is going on here? Where is it always
"Boy, I know what you're thinking, this is good, turn two pots into three pots of pearl emerald white jade porridge, and I'll tell you where you went wrong."
Nian Bing's eyes lit up. He said anxiously: "Okay, no problem, three pots are three pots, you tell me quickly. Why did I consume more than 80% of my magic power, using two seventh-level and two sixth-level, a total of four magic fusions, powerful But it is not much stronger, although it looks more gorgeous, but the effect is too poor, and it is not proportional to the magic power consumed."
Galamandis smiled and said: "You idiot, do you think that fusion magic is so easy to use? Even if you have the same origin of ice and fire as a guide, but when using four kinds of magic, you can't combine the characteristics of each department of magic at all. When played out, especially when the four kinds of magic appear at the same time, they will produce or repel or attract each other. These characteristics are extremely subtle. Even if you use the same magic, each time there will be different changes, unless your spiritual power It is powerful enough to withstand higher-level magic, so why use a difficult and unpleasant method of fusing four kinds of magic? So, let me tell you a simple theory, fusion magic is really good, but the fusion of two kinds of magic That's enough. Fusion of too many types of magic will only produce counterproductive effects. I almost laughed out loud when you used that magic just now. I wanted to see your jokes. Fortunately, your strength is good and you haven't been countered. In the future, you will be laughed at by others if you do this, but don’t say that you have followed me.”
After listening to Galamandis's words, Nian Bing suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, yes, too much fusion is not what he can resist, just like a powerful dragon like Galamandis , his strongest magic is only a fire element, why should he pursue too much magic fusion? It is better to fully grasp the characteristics of each department of magic and use different combinations when facing different enemies, so the effect will naturally be much better. Knowing this, Nian Bing couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, Galamandis' expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Wait here for me and don't move." A red light flashed, and his figure had disappeared. At the moment when Galamandis left, Nian Bing's heart tightened, because he clearly felt a heavy murderous intent emanating from Galamandis, which was the first time he felt it since he knew Galamandis. Seeing such a breath, although he didn't understand why, he knew that those who could arouse Galamandis' killing intent and become Galamandis' enemies were definitely not something he could deal with.
Walking to the big tree beside the road and sitting down, Nian Bing slowly regained the previously lost magic power, and carefully observed the surrounding movement. After a short time, the red light lit up again, and Galamandis returned. His handsome face was full of anger. The red light around the body was looming, and when he came to Nian Bing, he slammed a palm on a big tree. Suddenly, the trunk was completely turned into fly ash, making Nian Bing's head and face, "Asshole. Damn, let him Run away, you bastard, faster than a monkey." Galamandis cursed angrily.
Nian Bing dusted off the dust on his body and asked, "What did you find?"
Galamandis said: "Just now I suddenly felt the breath of the sealed bottle of Meodus, and immediately chased after it, but was escaped by that guy with space magic."
Nian Bing said strangely: "Could it be that that guy stole your Meodus sealed bottle and ran around you to tease you, isn't he alive enough?"
Galamandis shook his head and said: "No. Although the bottle just now was also the bottle of the Meodus seal, it was not my breath. Although the seven bottles of the seal of the Meodus are exactly the same, but due to They are guarded by our Seven Dragon Kings. Each of them is somewhat contaminated with our aura. I can be sure that the one that appeared just now was not stolen by me. It seems that these guys are really capable, and they even asked us seven at the same time. The Dragon King shot. Nian Bing, I’m afraid I won’t be able to drink your pearl and emerald white jade porridge for the time being. The matter is much more serious than I imagined. Now I have to call the other six dragon kings to see if the sealed bottle of Moodos was stolen. A few, Master Dragon God must not be sloppy in the task entrusted to us. Be careful yourself, I will come back to you after dealing with these matters."
Nian Bing looked at Galamandis in surprise, "You mean, you are leaving now?"
Galamandis looked at him angrily, and said, "Didn't you always want to be free? Why? I regret it now. Do you still want to go with me to meet the other six dragon kings? There can be no such thing in the world of Dragon Land." Humans entered. You can do it yourself. As for your future cultivation, you only need to follow the rules to meditate to increase your magic power. If you have the opportunity, look for top-level gemstones. I will lend you this first. Don’t worry, I am very happy to find you. It's easy. Be careful to save your own life, and you must die before you return my pearl, emerald and white jade porridge three times." The red light turned into silver light, and a dazzling silver light appeared on Galamandis's hand , That is an opening, a strange opening, in the center of the weapon is a hexagonal gemstone, the gemstone is silver, but the silver light is constantly changing, every time it changes, it will cause the whole weapon to flash. With the hexagonal silver gemstone as the center, six blades extend outward, each blade is only about half a foot long, and the silver light is shining, and Nian Bing has no doubts about its sharpness.
Galamandis raised his palm upwards, and the six-silver knife spun quickly in his palm. No matter how he swung his arm, the knife kept flickering as if it were attached to his palm. The silver light followed Galamandis Si's palm danced, he muttered a few spells, the knife suddenly disappeared, when Nian Bing moved his mind, the six-edged silver knife appeared ten feet away, drawing a beautiful arc, All the plants along the way were broken.
The six-edged silver knife returned to Galamandis' hands, and it was still spinning. Galamandis said: "See your dream clearly. This knife is very difficult to control. Can it really play its role? The power depends on yourself. You should have discovered that the gemstone in the center is the ultimate space magic gem. The preciousness of the space magic gem is no less than that of light and darkness. Moreover, for you now, If you can use mimicry to master space magic, the benefit is the greatest, at least it can help you save your life better, but be careful, don't cut off your hand before using it. This knife can be used in many ways The method depends on your wisdom. The name of the sword is Xuanji. It was a casting master in ancient times you humans who forged it. It was completed with the help of twelve space-type magisters. Compared with the Shengyao Sword, It is much more mysterious, but its background is not small at all. You can experience it yourself. Oh, yes, it has its own title, and you don’t need to repeat it. In a flash, it had already fallen at Nian Bing's feet, and the next moment, Galamandis' figure disappeared under the envelope of red light.
"I just have this piece of top-quality magic gemstone. Keep it carefully. Remember the pearl, emerald and white jade porridge you owe me, so you can do it yourself..." The voice went far away, and the breath of the dragon in the air completely disappeared, and I got back my freedom. Shi Nianbing's heart was full of disappointment, even he himself didn't understand why, but looking at the strangely shaped Xuanji knife on the ground, his heart was full of reluctance. Galamandis's handsome appearance and joking tone kept echoing in his mind, his heart was trembling slightly, Galamandis, did you just leave like this
Suddenly, Nian Bing raised his head and shouted loudly towards the blue sky, "Galamandis, listen to me, if you don't come to me within three months, what you owe will be void." His The voice was so loud that it startled the birds in the woods. After shouting this sentence, Nian Bing slowly lowered his head, and said to himself: "If you can come back within three months, I will definitely give you a good deal without any conditions. You cook and eat." Actually, even he himself didn't know that after these two months of contact, Galamandis was both a teacher and a friend in his heart. The sudden separation made him feel a little lost.
What is in the sealed bottle of Meodus? Galamandis refused to tell himself, what secrets were sealed in those seven bottles? Nian Bing was full of doubts and curiosity at the same time. He found more and more that there were too many things he didn't know on this continent of Yangon, which was not his own level. If he wanted to understand everything about dreams, You must start from yourself.
Shaking his head vigorously, Nian Bing threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and the sense of loss gradually disappeared. After all, Galamandis will still come back. He must be reluctant to part with the delicious food he made. Now, all he has to do is go to Hua Tiancheng, the capital of Rong Empire, fulfilled the promise to Longzhi. I remember that when I left Dutian City, I was only seven years old. After more than ten years, I was finally going back.
Nian Bing was not in a hurry to leave. Every time he arrived in a city, he would take a few days off to meditate and study magic. When he left Oran City, there were still three months before the Five Nations Emerging Magician Competition. Three months was enough for him to hurry. . As I heard when I was in Oran City, the further you go to the south of the Oran Empire, the more barren the surrounding areas will be. Walking on the road and looking around, you can often see a desolate scene. This phenomenon did not end until Nian Bing entered the Huarong Empire from the southwest of the Oran Empire.
In the distance, a huge city crawled on the wide plain like a monster, and it could no longer be described as a city. Talu City, which straddles the border between the Oran Empire and the Huarong Empire, is clearly a huge fortress. On both sides of the fortress are the troops of the Huarong Empire, which stretch for hundreds of miles. The three empires of Lu and Oran border on each other, but the area that needs to be defended is not large. The Huarong Empire attaches great importance to military affairs, and the main combat power of the empire is composed of four major armies. They are composed of the Northern Army Group, the Northeast Army Group stationed near Talu City in the northeast, the Northeast Army Group Army stationed at the junction of the East and the Qilu Empire, and the Central Army Group stationed near the capital Tiancheng. The number of serving troops in the country has never been less than 1.2 million, for several other empires. It must be a huge burden to maintain so many legions, but for the rich Huarong Empire, this is not a difficult task. Just like when they launched an attack on the Zhoubian Empire, they didn't really want to snatch anything, but more for training. After all, soldiers who have never been on the battlefield are definitely not qualified soldiers.
Each of the four armies of the Huarong Empire is commanded by a marshal. Among them, the Central Army is the most powerful. The famous Flame Lion Knights are the elite of the Central Army's elite, and what Nian Bing sees now is exactly Huarong. The Northeast Army of the Rong Empire stationed in Talu City. Talu City is not divided between the two countries as Binglan said. The Huarong Empire's army is stationed here, but the Oran Empire's army has already withdrawn to the interior. No matter in terms of equipment, military pay, quantity, etc. The Lan Empire is far worse than the Huarong Empire. If it weren't for the Langmu Empire, which is also a powerful country, to restrict the Huarong Empire, Huarong might have opened his huge mouth of the flaming lion to swallow the Oran Empire.
Before reaching Talu City, the first thing Nian Bing had to pass through was the defense line of the Huarong Empire. Here, he would be strictly inspected. If there is any suspicion, he will be banned from entering the Huarong Empire. However, he has his own countermeasures for inspecting Nian Bing. After all, he is a member of the Huarong Empire, and his understanding of the Huarong Empire is mostly limited to his father. tell. Although he doesn't love his motherland very much, his roots are in Huarong, and all the memories of the Huarong Empire are so deep.
Standing at the back of the inspection queue, looking up at the huge gate of Talu City, which looked like the mouth of a giant lion, Nian Bing murmured: "Hua Rong, I'm back again. After more than ten years, I'm back again. Remember I used to be here when I left, Dad. Don't worry, if possible, I will fight for what we deserve."
The speed of inspection is very fast. Most of the civilians and businessmen who enter the city have a pass issued by the Huarong Empire. With the pass, they can easily enter the city. After all, there are very few people who dare to make trouble in the Huarong Empire now, and it is not a time of war. Of course, the inspection will not be very strict.
Finally it was Nian Bing's turn, and the guards in armor ordered him to say to others: "Show your pass." His tone was not harsh, because he saw Nian Bing's long golden hair , blond hair, very common in the Huarong Empire. The guards are always more polite to their own countrymen. According to statistics, more than 90% of the high-ranking nobles in the Huarong Empire have this golden hair.
Shaking his head, Nian Bing said indifferently: "Sorry, I don't have a pass."
"No?" The guard commander looked at him in surprise. Nian Bing didn't have any luggage on him, and his clothes were ordinary, but the guard commander who had seen a lot of people saw an unusual temperament from him, "Since If you don’t have a pass, you need to search the whole body, please go over there.” He said, pointing to a poorly built house next to the city gate.
Shaking his head again, Nian Bing stretched out his right hand, "I don't think so." With a puff, a ball of flame burned from the palm, and the flame swayed in the breeze, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased a little , "I am a magician."
The surprise in the eyes of the guard leader suddenly turned into respect, "It turns out to be Mr. Magician, please enter the city." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly made way for Nian Bing to step in without encountering any obstacles.
The Huarong Empire is a country that advocates fire. Because the country's magic is extremely prosperous, everyone from the king to the common people respects magicians, especially powerful magicians. Therefore, the king once issued an order that as long as he is a magician, no matter which country the magician is, he can enter the Huarong Empire at will, especially the fire magician, who is the most welcome object of the Huarong Empire. With blond hair, the guards naturally wouldn't stop him.
The first thing you feel when you walk into Talu City is the prosperity, which is in stark contrast to the Oran Empire. The streets are full of bustling people, including some soldiers who are on vacation. No matter what kind of shops they operate, the business is very good. As a border city, it is so rich, I am afraid that only the Huarong Empire can do it. No one here will worry about the invasion of foreign enemies. After all, the Northeast Army of the Huarong Empire stationed here is not a vegetarian.
Taking a deep breath, Nian Bing sighed softly, "Is this the air of the motherland? Motherland, I am afraid that no one will admit that I belong to Huarong." As a member of the Huarong Empire, I came back this time to represent the Ice Moon Empire to participate in the cutting-edge magic For him, this is not a sarcasm. Walking on the street, Nian Bing was going to find a hotel to stay in. Now there are still two months before the Magician Competition. Although it is not close to Dutian City, half a month is enough to get there, so he still has time. Nian Bing is now full of magicians, and he has absolute confidence in his cooking skills. On the way to Huarong Empire, he has decided to use the three months before the competition as his journey to practice magic. In any place, he will stay at least one day to practice all kinds of magic that he thinks on the road, especially the newly acquired Xuanji knife, which is the most important thing in his practice. Someone once said that warriors are the nemesis of magicians at close range, but space magicians are the nemesis of all warriors. It can be seen that the status of space magic in the mainland magic world, having space magic is equivalent to owning the magic in the world. Amulet for the face of the samurai. Of course, space magicians also have their own weaknesses, that is, their poor ability to attack. Space magic is best at teleportation and confinement. Only when one reaches the level of a mage or above can the attack power be gradually revealed.
Suddenly, Nian Bing saw the flow of people on the street rushing in one direction, as if something had happened, and thought to himself, does anyone dare to make trouble in Talu City? There will be no such stupid people.
The flow of people was surging, and driven by the flow of people, Nian Bing was moving in that direction without self-taught. Out of curiosity, he asked a passerby beside him, "What happened over there? Why did everyone go there?"
A passer-by said: "Little brother, you must have just come here. This is a once-in-a-year event! The culinary challenge competition held by Hualong Hotel in Talu City Square every three years has just started today, and it will continue." Three days, these three days will be three days of carnival in our city of Talu. Famous chefs from all over the country will come here to participate in the challenge. This competition seems to be second only to the MasterChef competition in the culinary world. No It's a pity to see, hurry up, or you won't be able to see it if you are far away."
Nian Bing's heart moved. He had never heard about this Hualong Cooking Challenge. He thought it only started in recent years. Affected by curiosity, he hurriedly followed the flow of people beside him and headed towards Tarrou Square.
In the distance, a huge square can already be seen. This square is so large that it may occupy one-third of the area of Talu. It was originally a school field specially used for soldiers. But at this time, it has become a venue for cooking competitions. The entire square was crowded with people, at least nearly 100,000 people surrounded the square, and a large number of guards maintained order without causing riots.
In the center of the square, there is a round platform with a height of nearly two feet and a diameter of about fifteen feet. The platform is covered with a red carpet, which is very eye-catching even from below. What surprised Nian Bing the most is that this giant round platform can be rotated , Around the round table, there are ten brand new stoves, and behind them are some necessary tools in the kitchen. Obviously, it can accommodate ten chefs at the same time for competitions.
Seeing such a huge culinary art display stand, Nian Bing couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement in his heart. As a chef, it is such a wonderful thing to be able to show his cooking skills on such a stage! No wonder the master once said that the Huarong Empire has the most outstanding chefs. It seems that he is right. I am afraid that only in the Huarong Empire can there be such a prosperous culinary world.
Ten feet away from both sides of the round platform, there is a raised platform with a ceiling, and there are chairs inside, obviously it is the place where the distinguished guests stay.
At this time, more than a dozen people walked on the giant round platform, and it was easy to tell from their clothes that these people were all high-ranking officials in the Huarong Empire. Among them, one person walked in front of the round platform. She was dressed in a red robe inlaid with gold, and her small eyes were shining brightly. She was holding a strange thing in her hand, which seemed to have magical lights shining on it.
"Everyone be quiet. Please listen to me." He didn't shout hoarsely, but the thick voice easily reached everyone's ears. Nian Bing was taken aback. If he was a master of martial arts level, he would naturally be able to do this with super fighting energy, but this person obviously didn't use fighting energy. In an instant, he understood, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, because he found that what the man was holding in his hand turned out to be a magic amplifier. A loudspeaker that can emit such a sound must be backed by extremely precious magic gems. It seems that the cost of this competition is really not small!
The square gradually fell silent, and the 5,000 soldiers in charge of maintaining order appeared to be orderly, pointing their spears obliquely in the air, watching the surrounding people at all times to prevent any changes.
Fatty looked down at the people below on the rotating round platform, and said with a smile: "Hi everyone, I think anyone from Talu City should recognize him. Yes, I am Fatty Hua from Hualong Hotel, and everyone calls me Fatty Hualong." Fatty will be fine."
"Fat man, fat man, fat man..." Immediately, cheers erupted from the audience. Looking at the joyful expressions of the civilians, it was obvious that this Fatty Hua from Hualong Hotel was very popular in Talu City.
Nian Bing asked a cheering commoner next to him and found out that this fatty Hua is the owner of Hualong Restaurant. Donate to the government, the military, and the Huarong Empire Magician Union, and often introduce some high-quality and cheap food for ordinary civilians, so it has an excellent reputation in all aspects, and was awarded the title of Viscount by His Majesty the King of the Huarong Empire title. It is precisely because of his relationship that the Hualong Culinary Challenge Competition is more prosperous than the next, and it is gradually catching up with the influence of the MasterChef Competition.
Fatty Hua said again, "Thank you for your support for this competition. This is already the fourth level of the Hualong Challenge. Hey, Fatty Hua is getting old, but the culinary circle of our Huarong Empire is constantly growing. It is flourishing. I am very honored to be able to see the current prosperity. Well, I will stop talking nonsense, so as not to save everyone from throwing eggs at me." While talking, he made a funny expression, which immediately attracted the attention of the people below They roared with laughter.
Fatty Hua waited with a smile on his face until the laughter of the crowd subsided before he said: "The rules are the same as before. The competition still goes through three stages: the preliminary round, the semi-final round, and the final round. The preliminary round is held on the south side of the square in our Hualong Hotel. It’s been ten days since we started. Within ten days, we have selected hundreds of outstanding chefs. They will participate in the rematch here. I will designate three main ingredients for the rematch. These chefs will cook all kinds of delicacies for everyone to judge. Finally Ten people will be selected to participate in the final final, which will be the day after tomorrow, and I will present all the delicacies produced in this competition to the most respectable people in our Huarong Empire, that is, the Northeast Group Army that has been defending our homeland." When he said the last five words, he deliberately raised his voice. Immediately, the whole scene showed explosive cheers. startling.
A passer-by said: "Little brother, you must have just come here. This is a once-in-a-year event! The culinary challenge competition held by Hualong Hotel in Talu City Square every three years has just started today, and it will continue." Three days, these three days will be three days of carnival in our city of Talu. Famous chefs from all over the country will come here to participate in the challenge. This competition seems to be second only to the MasterChef competition in the culinary world. No It's a pity to see, hurry up, or you won't be able to see it if you are far away."
