Chapter 227 Brotherly Love

"Huh? There is a black lotus plant here?"

Tucker's joyful voice came from a bush.

Not long after parting with Thales, he found two black lotuses growing together in a bush.

"Rilei seems to have said that the roots of the black lotus are quite fragile. You need to pay attention when pulling them out. First, loosen the surrounding soil..." Tucker muttered while digging the surrounding soil with his hands.He hadn't dealt with the magic plant of black lotus much before, and he was not very experienced, so he was extra careful in his movements.

"Oh no……"

Tucker looked at the black lotus in his hand with regret. He barely used much force just now, but when he pulled it out, the root broke by itself.

"This black lotus plant is too fragile. If the roots are cut off, the taste will be worse." As a food lover and a standard foodie, although his father did not require the black lotus plant to be intact, Tucker himself was not very satisfied. .

He shook his head, recalled the process just now, and decided to be more careful next time!
Immediately, he looked at another black lotus plant two meters away, walked over, and carefully dug up the soil.

This time, no matter how thin and soft the soil was, he didn't plan to squeeze it directly.

A moment later, when the last layer of soil was removed and the black lotus plant was held intact in the palm of his hand, Tucker grinned.

"Looks like my fortune has changed. I suddenly met two black lotus plants and grew together!" Tucker thought contentedly, stood up and walked elsewhere——time is running out, he has to find the remaining black lotus plants quickly Grass, complete the indicators.

Fortunately, Tucker walked another kilometer and found the target again.

He strode forward, repeated the operation just now, and successfully harvested the fourth black lotus plant.

The inner motivation was more full, and then he ran elsewhere again, shuttled through the forest.

The golden leaves and direct sunlight shine through the dead branches and vines, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

Tucker, who was running, accidentally found a footprint, which was very abrupt in the forest, a bit like covering up the trace, but there was a mistake in handling it.

Tucker's footsteps suddenly stopped, blinked, stared at the familiar dent, leaned forward to watch carefully, and suddenly let out a light sigh:
"Huh? Isn't this... the footprint of Thales? Why did it appear here? Did he come here just now?"

Tucker looked thoughtful, glanced left and right, continued to observe, and found that the surrounding dust also had traces of cover, frowned and said:
"It seems that the footprints were deliberately covered up? Why did he do this?"

At this moment, the breeze blew, the bushes in front of me swayed slightly, and a gloomy darkness flickered in front of my eyes.

Tucker's expression changed, "Huh? Black lotus grass!"

His eyesight is excellent, just now the clump of leaves swayed, and a black lotus plant mixed in the dense bushes was easily caught by him.

A look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Then, it was replaced by a touch of suspicion.

Tucker looked at the footprints next to him, frowning slightly, feeling that something was a little strange.

He stepped forward and observed carefully, observing the softness of the soil, the traces of the bushes, and the branches, leaves and roots of the black lotus.

"Am I thinking too much?"

It took a few minutes, but Tucker, who didn't find anything unusual, muttered, shook his head, put away the black lotus grass, and continued to move forward.

Under the soft light, Tucker found four more black lotus plants one after another, and the whole process went smoothly.

But the smoother it was, the more doubts he had in his heart: "Is luck really that good?"

With the last one left, Tucker continued to search in the forest with a heavy heart.

In the end, beside the root of a gray and white tree, Tucker stared blankly at the black lotus in front of him. He didn't expect to find it so easily!

Compared with the beginning, the difficulty has dropped from the hell level to the novice level.

He pondered for a moment, then bent down and continued to dig the soil. Since he found traces of Thales' footprints not long ago, he subconsciously observed the strangeness.

But when he took the black lotus out of the soil, he didn't find anything special.

"Well, it seems that I really thought too much. Although the footprints are very fresh, it is also possible that Thales was wandering around while I was out killing monsters. I will go back and ask him later."

Tucker shook his head and said to himself, patted the dirt on his hands, and prepared to turn back.

Suddenly, subtle traces flashed in the air.

His eyes froze suddenly, staring at the ground next to the black lotus grass, motionless.

He widened his eyes and stretched out his hand to squeeze the air.

Then, Tucker kept the "hands-on" posture, and stuck it in front of his eyes, only to see an extremely slender hair, light and windless.

Tucker narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is a wavy hair, and Taylor also has this hairstyle.

Tucker recalled the length of Thales' hairstyle in his mind, and compared it with the hair in front of him, it was completely coincident!

He showed a dazed look.

At this moment, even though Tucker was usually careless, such obvious clues were connected together, and he vaguely guessed the truth in his heart-the black lotus was planted artificially.

"No wonder it suddenly became so easy to find the black lotus..."

He glanced at the slender hair again, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, he shook his head and laughed: "This guy Thales..."

Leiter, Rilai, and Thales have already processed the ingredients of the flaming rhinoceros and bloodhoof wild boar, and pieces of fresh meat steaks are placed on the grill.

Ruilai put the last piece of meat on the table again, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Everything is ready! Now we just need to get everyone together, and we can start!"

After all, he looked at the open woodland in front of him, with suspicion in his eyes: "Huh? Tucker has been gone for three hours, why hasn't he come back yet?

Even if the black lotus grass grows more scattered and is not easy to live in groups, it shouldn't waste so long..."

Rhett stared straight ahead, then glanced at Thales, and found that the latter was a little absent-minded, and his eyes were wandering.

"No, I made it so obvious, maybe Tucker still can't find the black lotus..." Thales lowered his head, secretly cursing.

He did take advantage of Tucker's departure to help him kill the blood hoof boar and the flaming rhinoceros, and carefully selected a few places to hide the black lotus grass secretly.

And as a magician, it is not difficult to ensure that the soil is soft and restored to its original state.

But in order to avoid being seen by Tucker as deliberate, the places he picked were not particularly obvious.

But now that Tucker has not returned for so long, Thales can't help but wonder, is he hiding too deep?
Alas, it should be simpler, and Tucker's mind should not be overestimated...

"Tuck, are you hurt?"

Thales, who was thinking wildly, heard his father sitting opposite him speak.

He blinked, realized what had happened, turned his head suddenly, and saw Tucker walking slowly from behind, holding a handful of black lotus in his hand.

There was a hint of a smile in the corner of Thales' eyes unconsciously.

But at the same time, I was a little nervous in my heart, and I muttered to myself: "He shouldn't notice my hands and feet? Ha, probably not, Tucker is not smart..."

"Ah, I got a little injury. I met a Tier [-] Ice Crystal Tiger and got scratched by those sharp claws." Tucker rubbed the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Then he raised his right hand, grabbed a handful of black lotus plants, and said quite complacently: "My lord father, I have fulfilled my mission. I have finally found these ten black lotus plants."

Leiter glanced at Tucker lightly: "This is punishment, not a mission.

But...you're doing well. "

Tucker sat down carelessly, and pushed Thales away again.

Thales frowned this time, but didn't say anything, and smiled secretly in his heart, "Idiot, it seems that I didn't find out that the black lotus in your hand was left on purpose by me..."

At this time, Lei Te smiled and said, "Children, I'm here to announce some good news. Riley has just broken through to a third-level magician. Let us applaud him."

After the words fell, Leiter took the lead in applauding.

Bang bang bang bang
Tucker and Thales also brightened their eyes, clapped their hands together, and sincerely congratulated.

"Congratulations, Riley.

Speaking of which, you are always one step ahead of me. I really don't know when I will catch up. "Tak grimaced, and his butt moved to the left unconsciously.

Thales suddenly felt that the place was much empty, so he moved inwardly and glanced at Tucker.

Then he also congratulated Ruilai: "Congratulations, Ruilai, it seems that you will become the second magister in our family.

And I am the third! "

crackling
At this time, the steak that had just been placed on the grill was emitting oil and making a crackling sound.

"Thank you for your blessings." Relai smiled and looked at the grill: "It looks like the barbecue is almost ready, let's enjoy this delicious lunch together."

Tucker began to grind the black lotus.

Black lotus has a neutralizing effect on the seasoning, making it more flavorful.

Rilai and Thales twirled their fingers and sprinkled other spices, while Leiter sat on a fishing platform, motionless, waiting for the filial piety of his three sons.

The seasonings in this world are slightly different from those of Blue Star, but the overall taste is better, and the varieties are rich and varied after countless years of excavation.

"Sprinkle more black powder." Lei Te said while watching.

Black chili powder is a taste similar to cumin and black pepper, which has some characteristics of both, but is also somewhat different.

The important thing is that Leiter likes the taste.

"No problem!" Ruilai concentrated and controlled his strength quite well.

In less than half an hour, with the joint efforts of several people, the barbecue steak was completed.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Tucker took the lead in picking up the largest and most cooked steak, and placed it directly on Taylor's plate.

Thales' eyes widened and he was stunned. He didn't expect Tucker to give him the first piece of meat...

After regaining his senses, he said hastily: "Why give me this piece of meat, I don't eat steak with chili powder! I'd better leave it to you."

"Eat as soon as you are told, what a lot of nonsense." Tucker said in a low voice.

Thales snorted: "I don't want to eat."

At this time, Ruilai touched his chin, sprinkled black jelly powder, and said, "Taylors, I've grown so big, I've never heard that you don't eat chili..."

Thales blushed slightly, "People change, they just hate one thing, what's so strange about it?"

"Really? But at your last banquet, you also ate a lot of spicy blue shell lobster..."

"Rilei, you may have misremembered, it was Tucker who ate it, not me."

Tucker didn't say a word, and while Taylor and Rilai were talking, he picked another steak and put it on Taylor's plate: "This one has no pepper."

Thales moved slightly in his heart, and took the plate over calmly, "Cough, thanks."

Tucker didn't respond. He glanced at the steaks on the grill. If they were not cooked through, he continued to grind the black lotus.

At this moment, Lei Te, who was watching from the side, witnessed the process just now, with a strange expression on his face, and secretly smiled in his heart:
"It's interesting, the relationship between the brothers Tucker and Thales seems to be much better.

Although... I don't know what caused it and how long it will last, but it's a good thing..."

"Father, your steak is ready, please enjoy it!" Reilly put the seasoned and shiny meat on the plate in front of Leiter.

Leiter sniffed the fragrance lightly, and exclaimed:

"Thales' ingredients, Tucker's seasoning, Relai's roasting, today's barbecue has a special flavor!"

half a month later.

Leiter, who was wearing a black windbreaker and sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes and sighed softly.

"Ugh."

In the past half a month, he has mainly focused on the perception of the mystery, among which he wasted the most time on the mystery of condensation.

It has to be said that without the help given by the sand elves, the comprehension of the mystery of condensation, compared with the mystery of dispersal, can be described as a turtle's speed, and there has been no progress during this period.

At present, for Condensation Mystery, he can only solidify part of his body, which is far from solidifying his whole body, not to mention the effect on the magic cast.

Originally according to his idea, if Sand Wolf Roar could get the blessing of Condensation Mystery, and combined with Scattering Mystery, any one of them would be able to single out the Earth Knight of the same level.

But unfortunately, according to the current trend, there is still a long way to go to achieve this.

He looked at the blue sky in the distance, thinking about it: "It would be great if there are other earth elves who can provide me with profound insights..."

"Rock elves? Diamond elves? Diamond elves?"

Leiter doesn't know if there are these kinds of elves in the world, it's purely wild imagination.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through my mind!
Rhett thought of a new idea, which might help him find a new earth elf!
"That's right, the royal family is well-informed, and the news channels must be very rich. I can definitely try to ask Prince Hogus to help me pay attention to whether there is any news about the collection of earth elves from now on..."

Thinking of this, Leiter's eyes gradually brightened.

He thought he should run a simulation.

On the one hand, it is to find news about the elves.

On the other hand, there is another very important thing—to make suggestions to the Ring Tower, to see if it can be adopted, and to avoid the ending of being destroyed.

To be honest, although he hopes to earn a lot of merit through the war and grab a lot of wealth and resources from it.

But this kind of disaster that can obviously be prevented, let him watch it happen, giving up the opportunity to stop it, somewhat violates his belief.

Shaking his head helplessly, Leiter turned on the system.
