The honeyed fruits that Shelia made shone brightly in the sunlight, making Carlos drool at the sight of them.
"Hmm?
The smell, the meat seems burnt!"
Avril said with a sniff.
Carlos looked down and realized that he had just been so focused on watching Shelia make fruit with honey that he had forgotten there was meat roasting on the fire!
It's all vaguely burnt smelling coming out!
Under the reminder of Avril, Carlos quickly flipped, good thing to find in time, just a little bit of charred black on the edge of the meat, the impact on the whole piece of meat is not too big, on the whole is still roasted well, after the moisture was evaporated clean, the fat in the meat began to slowly ooze outward, look at the grease, it's very appetizing.
Hylia's honeyed fruit was used as a dessert after the meal, and now the main meal is still grilled meat, for the grilled meat Carlos is getting more and more experienced, at the same time Carlos also taught the people of the Bell Bear Clan and the Robert Rabbit Clan how to grill the meat better, where the main thing is the control of the grilled meat's time, the grilled meat too much will become hard, and the time is too short and the meat will be undercooked!
Good thing that Carlos after the exercise on the island, now has been very skillful, Shelia said, never seen this way of eating before, the general orc race is either eaten raw or boiled, her of seen Carlos eat this way, can say that this way of eating is particularly niche, although so, but undeniably, this way of eating is really very fragrant!
"Lord Sacrifice, my fire is out!"
A Robert the Rabbit said.
When Carlos heard that, he got up and went to help light another fire, and when the fire in the other fires was accidentally extinguished, Carlos had to rush to re-light the fire, Carlos felt like a cook now, not like a lord at all, although it is true that no one treats Carlos as a lord!
Carlos didn't talk about this, and since everyone was so familiar, Carlos wouldn't put up a fight specifically, and given Carlos's status as a priest, they were very respectful and careful in their requests, and soon everyone was eating fragrant roasted meat.
"Well, let's enjoy it quickly too."
Carlos had been busy for a long time, and everyone else was eating before a piece was ready on Carlos' side.
When Carlos couldn't take care of his own roast, Shelia took care of it for him, and although she was clumsy at first, after handling a few pieces, Shelia became skillful.
Now that Carlos was finally free, it warmed Carlos's heart to see the way Shelia carefully flipped through it with her thick signature.
Carlos and Hoffman both used large skewers, while Shelia and Avril used small toothpick-like skewers, and there was a contrast between the two large and two small as the four touched the roast together.
Barbecue for meat consumption rate is very horrible, soon, Carlos and Hoffman brought back the ingredients were eaten clean, even a piece of meat did not remain, Robert rabbit clan have been lying on their backs on the ground, the abdomen slightly bulging, looks like a sudden collective pregnancy, it can be seen that eating so much meat really put them up.
Carlos himself felt that he had eaten an eighth of a full stomach, which was fine, but when he looked at the Bell Bears again, he realized that each of them was lightly rubbing their stomachs, and patting it from time to time, and with a slight frown on their faces, they looked like they hadn't eaten enough!
Carlos looked at Hoffman again, only to find that Hoffman also had a similar demeanor, Carlos couldn't help but hold his forehead, thinking to himself, raising such a group of foodies, how can we go on in the future, we have to prepare for a long time every day just to eat.
"Maybe I should get into farming or animal husbandry!
It's too bad that you don't have enough to eat even after exhausting yourself hunting every day."
Carlos had the idea of developing the industry.
Establishing an industry, building out an internal cycle of industry, and then vigorously developing the labor force, and deploying it according to such a momentum, the northern wilderness would be able to develop, so that one could achieve one's goal of building the northern plains.
At this time, Hylia brought out the honeyed fruits that she had just made, to say that race was crazy about honey, this Bell Bear race was the first place that deserved it in Carlos's eyes, smelling the fragrance of honey, this group of Bell Bear warriors immediately came to the spirit, one by one, their eyes were wide open, their mouths were wide open, seemingly ready to eat the fruits at any time, and their saliva continued to trickle out from their mouths!
Hylia presided over the distribution of the fruits, and everyone had a share, and as soon as those guys from the Bell Bear Clan tasted the honey, they instantly had happy smiles on their faces, as if they were satisfied by eating it.
Shelia was careful enough when it came to sending them out, the Bell Bears would send red guavas and the Robert Rabbits would send purple branching sour plums, there was still some difference in the amount of honey wrapped around the two, but comparing the size and the liking of the honey, Shelia went with a choice with a little bit of leaning towards such a choice.
In this regard, Ai Wei Er is not much of an opinion, Robert rabbit tribe originally is not very love to eat honey, eat a little less is nothing, on the contrary, the Bell Bear tribe is extremely important to this, for the honey even if it is again naive Bell Bear tribe will become unusually intelligent, perhaps this is the eaters bring their own natural attributes it.
"I can't believe that so much prey has already been consumed in just one meal!"
Carlos marveled at the rate at which food was being consumed.
"I'm so full, I'm going to take a nap."
Avril said.
After eating enough it is indeed easy to be sleepy, after Averill took the lead in having sleepiness, like it was contagious, Shelia also felt sleepy, those of the Robert Rabbit Clan had shrunk inside and slept even earlier, the Bell Bear Clan didn't have enough to eat, but maybe sleepiness is just contagious, just like yawning is contagious, there is a person who is sleepy, and even with that, everyone around them will be sleepy.

But there are always some people who are going to be unaffected, and Carlos is one such person, for one thing he gets up later than anyone else, rests longer than others, and then gets sleepy a little later than others, and on the other hand, at the thought of still not having a bed to sleep in, Carlos begins to instinctively resist going to sleep.
All of them slept so solidly, probably because they had thick fur separating them, they couldn't feel the coldness of the floor at all, while Carlos was different, as a turtle there was no fur to use for protection, and now the only protection the turtle shell had melted into his skin, so Carlos had to build himself a bed.
It was just as well that everyone had gone to bed and Carlos was ready to pack up and leave, he had to go out and find trees to build himself a house, he was really choked up from sleeping yesterday, and Carlos didn't want to spend a day without a bed!
Carlos came out to look for suitable trees, used to make a bed for himself, the size of this piece, Carlos thought it should be higher than the height of two heads of distance to be appropriate, as for the width of the well, Carlos to their own three positions as a benchmark, constructed such a huge bed!
Carlos carried the huge bedpan back to the house, took out those furs that he had put away before, and tried them out, and found that the pigskin was slightly greasy, finally Carlos chose to use those two deer skins for the cushion, only two deer skins looked a bit thin on the wide bedpan, Carlos used the horned horse's skin again as well.
This made for a comfortable thickness of laying, and the soft fur as Carlos lay on it gave Carlos a soothing sensation of being in the middle of it.
"Life should be focused on enjoyment, ah, and if you don't have the conditions, you have to create them."
Carlos said cozily, very pleased with this little achievement of his.
Before he knew it, it was dark, and Carlos had been lying in bed, comfortable but with little sleep.
"I used to be able to sleep well on the hard stone floor, how come I can't sleep when I have a bed instead?"
Carlos tossed and turned in bed, tossing and turning, people are always like this, when they can not get it is very yearning, think a thousand good, ten thousand good, and so on get it, and will unconsciously dislike, in short, can not get is always the best.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
It was while Carlos was annoyed by his inability to sleep that a knock came at the door.
Carlos , who had been unable to sleep, did so at once, and rose quickly to open the door, and standing outside was Eranster, holding a letter, stamped in dark gold.
This is a spot melting fire paint, used for sealing letters, so that whether the letter has been opened or not can be easily seen, letters with fire paint sealed are usually more important, and the letter held in front of Elanst's hand, the fire paint has been removed, Elanst should be looking for Carlos because of the matter on the letter.
"Can I help you?"
Carlos said politely, somewhat resembling the official tone of an office.
"Venerable Lord Priest, I have received a letter from a human merchant group that says they are going to pass through here and head to the central region to trade, and that they will give us some grain for the passage when they pass."
Elenster said as he handed the letter in his hand to Carlos.
Carlos took the letter and read it, the letter sincerely and honestly expressed the request of wanting to go to the center of the continent for trade through the road of the North Plains, and the letter was very warm to Erlangest, actually directly called him a dear old friend, obviously this kind of thing was not the first time, it should have been a transaction that had been carried out many times.
"This merchant group often goes through the Northern Plains to do business in the central part of the country, and they generously give us some supplies when they come and when they leave, and there have been no problems, and it's almost become a habit, and this time when you are here, Lord Sacrifice, I think that you should be told about these things in the Northern Plains, so that you can know about them."
Erlangist said.
"That's good, now you're reporting back!"
Carlos was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that Eranster has basically recognized his leadership position, this time he came over a bit to ask for instructions, although he did not directly call Lord Lord, but it is almost the same, there is already a sense of recognition, this is a success in a great sense.
"There are caravans passing through, so that would also benefit the prosperity of the Northern Plains... do they only do business with the tribes in the center?
You guys can also trade with them a bit, you can trade with the humans for some weapons and supplies ah, this will also be beneficial to resisting the beast tide."
Carlos suggested to Erlangist.
"I have negotiated this way before, but the Northern Plains are relatively barren, the goods we took out were not of interest to the human merchant group, and among the many items we took out they could not see any of them, the only thing that was proposed to be of interest to them was my magic cane, but I could not perform the magic to defend against the beast tide without the aid of the cane, so I gave up later on. "
Erlangist said helplessly.
As a magician, why wouldn't Elanst want to acquire some magical weapons from the humans to use for a while, with those, fending off the beast tide might be a little easier, but unfortunately they couldn't come up with anything attractive enough.
"Anything of interest to humans? Maybe I can get a little out, I wonder if I can get some weapons in exchange."
Carlos thought about those magic crystals he had.
All the magic crystal stones taken down from that mercenary ship Carlos brought to the North Plains, the crystal beasts just sucked the magic energy from the magic crystal stones, as long as they didn't chew up the magic crystal stones, the energy that was sucked out of them Carlos could instill it back again, so there was no consumption in feeding the crystal beasts on the way.
Carlos remembered the feeling when he was on the ship when he was bombarding the ship with the magic cannon, if he could trade a few magic cannons with these humans, his military strength would be greatly improved, he could also use the magic cannons to go into the Sunset Mountain Range and hunt the magical beasts, which would facilitate a better hunt, and he himself could quickly increase his bloodline points, a one-two punch.
"Where is the messenger, I'll go and deal with him, what I've come up with should be of use to them."
Carlos was confidently taking his time.
Most of the human's weapons including numerous household items need magic crystal stones to catalyze them, there is a great demand for magic crystal stones, and the number of magicians in the human empire is not very large, those who have magical talent are basically one in ten thousand, and every magician is relatively affluent in terms of life.
The magicians in the human empire were as honorable as the priests in the orc empire, and charging ordinary magic crystals was only a job for some magic apprentices and the lowest ranked magicians.
Not only is the speed of infusion slow and the magic energy contained in each piece of magic crystal stone is not a lot, and high-level magicians are basically hired by the royal family at a high price, producing high-quality magic crystal stone, used for the royal family's extravagant enjoyment, as well as a variety of agricultural and military consumption.
It was said that the fountain pool used for ornamental purposes in the Starfall Empire's royal gardens could consume enough magical energy in one day to satisfy the basic life of ordinary people for a year!
The use of farming machines and irrigation facilities cannot be separated from the supply of magical energy, and the magical energy used by the Imperial Guard Knights for researching new weapons is even more astronomical, in short, the production and life of human beings cannot be separated from magical energy.
"There was no messenger, this letter was delivered by a human communication griffin, that merchant group should still be sailing on the sea at this time, but it should be arriving soon."
Erlangist said.
"Griffins?
Is it the big kind?
Is it still there, I want to see it."
Carlos' perception of griffins was just the very big kind.
"That griffon flew away after delivering the letter, and the human domesticated magical beast griffon does not only have combat, there is also a communication griffon that is specially used to deliver information, this kind of griffon is not big in size, but the flying speed is especially fast, and it is very enduring, it does not need to take a rest even when it flies over a very long distance, and delivering information is very convenient and fast."
Erlangist explained.
