When Victor and his party got out of the carriage, a simple but orderly camp had been set up.

The camp was built in an open area on the roadside. The ground was simply leveled. The bushes on the ground had been cut down. The freshly cut bushes were still very moist and could not be used directly as fuel, so people sharpened the bushes and planted them at an angle.

Insert it diagonally into the ground to make a simple defensive fence around the camp.

When breaking camp the next day, these fences will be dismantled and taken away to be used as fences or fuel for the next camp.

In this world, camping in the wild is worth it no matter how careful you are. This is the experience that humans have gained with their blood and lives.

Some heavily armed mercenaries led these militiamen armed with five-meter spears to patrol the outside of the camp. For militiamen who lacked martial arts, close combat was too dangerous, but spears are easy to learn. If there are several well-trained soldiers working together,

Militiamen can even subdue an 800-pound male bear with a spear.

Under the leadership of Nelson, Victor and his guests came to the center of the camp, where a simple shed had been set up. This would be the place where Victor would entertain his guests for dinner.

"Master, it's a bit crude, please forgive me." Victor smiled at Edwin.

"Haha, Victor, we White Tower scholars are all experts at camping. The conditions in this camp are much better than those I camped in before." Edwin didn't care. In fact, although the White Tower scholars are nobles,

Children, but they often go out in the field for research needs, and they are indeed not hothouse flowers.

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded next to him.

"Sir, you are here."

Victor raised his eyes and saw the young and beautiful Lilia looking at him with joy and expectation. It seemed that she had led people to build this shed.

Victor smiled at Lilia and said, "Thank you, Lilia. Did you choose this camp? Are there any problems?"

"Sir, I am waiting to report to you." Lilia saluted the scholars, knights, and Nicole one by one and said: "We carefully surveyed the surrounding environment and found no traces of goblins or gnoll tribes nearby.

We found the footprints of some ferocious beasts, so we chose this open place to camp and cut down the nearby bushes to prevent wild beasts from using the terrain to sneak attack us."

"Well done, Lilia." Of course, Victor, who has a modern soul, would not be stingy in praising his subordinates for their hard work, but he did not realize the attraction of his moon elf blood to women.

Sure enough, the female mercenary's bright eyes turned into two crescent moons when she smiled, and two red clouds flew up from her cheeks. She looked very touching.

"Humph!" A low hum of dissatisfaction sounded from behind Victor. This was the trainee knight Nicole expressing her dissatisfaction with Victor. In Nicole's opinion, a lord and noble should be reserved and arrogant when speaking to the people.

He was also indifferent and distant, and when Victor praised Lilia so kindly, he just had ulterior motives for the young mercenary.

Seeing Edwin's teasing gaze, Victor secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Nicole, a beautiful trainee knight, was particularly jealous. This may be because her humble background caused her to have such a low self-esteem and sensitive character.

"Sir, I just hunted a short-tailed deer and some grouse nearby with Iron Hammer and others, and I brought them to you to try them out."

Just then "Dog Legs" Gru and several guards carried a 300-pound short-tailed deer and several plump grouse to Victor.

"Nice short-tailed deer. I can show off my skills in roasting venison. The most rare thing is these grouse. The grouse are very delicious, and the grouse in the water season are especially delicious. We can stew it in a pot."

The soup would be even better with some dried mushrooms." Edwin was immediately attracted to the fresh prey thrown on the ground.

Interrupted by this, Victor let out a long breath, even seeing Gru's ugly face with a flattering smile became more pleasing to the eye.

However, Victor's heart moved when he heard Edwin express his intention to take care of the sent prey himself.

"Master, are you interested in trying a new cooking method?" Victor asked Edwin with a smile.

"Oh, Victor, do you have any new methods? Tell me." As a White Tower scholar, Edwin certainly has a very strong curiosity, but it is probably his foodie instinct that arouses him more.

interest.

"Don't worry, I'll make some arrangements first." Since arriving in this world, the food he has eaten has been either baked, stewed, or eaten raw, and Victor has long been tired of it.

Originally, Victor was worried about how to curry favor with the old scholar in order to learn more knowledge from him. Just seeing Master Edwin's foodie nature, Victor decided to show off his skills.

Victor gave Gru a few instructions, and Gru nodded repeatedly and left with the short-tailed deer.

Then, Victor asked Lilia to take some grouse down and kill them, and at the same time asked Nelson to dig a fire pit in the ground.

After coming over for a while, Lilia brought over some slaughtered grouse with a suspicious look on her face. She saw that the grouse had been slaughtered, and a hole was cut in the abdomen. It was obvious that the internal organs had been removed, but the feathers had not been removed.

"Victor, uh... I mean... you can't eat chicken feathers!" Edwin couldn't help but remind him when he saw the feathered grouse.

"Master, new methods are always different. As long as you wait patiently now, you will not be disappointed."

Victor decided to whet the old man's appetite and pretended to be mysterious.

Soon, Gru came back with chopped deer steak and a bag full of things.

Victor opened the bag to reveal the clay inside, twisted it with his fingers, nodded with satisfaction, then wrapped the grouse in the clay and threw it into the dug pit.

"Victor, although the water season is the season of life, you can't grow grouse like you." Master Edwin looked at Victor's actions with a sad face.

"Master, although I didn't go to the White Tower to study, I also know that grouse do not grow in the ground." Victor smiled while burying the grouse with stones in front of everyone's curious eyes, and signaled

Nelson lit a bonfire on the rocks.

The blazing campfire dissipated the dampness and coldness in the air, making it warm and comfortable. Victor set up a strange iron table on the fire. Beside the iron table was a brush made of long-tailed rabbit hair and a bucket filled with grease.

bottle.

"Nicole, come and help me flip these deer steaks on this iron plate so they don't get burned." Victor said to Nicole while applying grease on the iron table.

"Okay." Being able to help her sweetheart made Nicole feel happy, even though she no longer had any hope for the grouse.

Under Nicole's flexible flipping, the sauce-coated deer steak made a crackling sound on the iron plate, gradually exuding a tantalizing aroma that made people salivate.

"Okay, everyone, please come and taste the sizzling deer steak!" Victor poked the fragrant deer steak with a knife and said to the people who were already looking forward to it.

"This is the most delicious venison steak I have ever eaten! The taste is just amazing! Victor, you successfully made me forget about the grouse just now." The old scholar didn't forget to joke while he was feasting.

Victor.

"It's really delicious! Moreover, I think this kind of venison steak is easier to absorb than roasted venison." Bruce Knight also praised it.

Nicole didn't say anything, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face. The deer steak she had just cooked for Victor was welcomed by everyone, which made her feel proud, like a hostess.

Thinking of this, Nicole's face couldn't help but blush, but fortunately it was not noticeable under the firelight.

"Master, remember to save some appetite for today's main course." Victor said to Master Edwin with a smile.

The bonfire was removed, and under the astonished eyes of everyone, Victor took out the main course buried under the rocks, which were sintered clay eggs one by one.

When Victor peeled open a clay egg, a richer aroma than sizzling venison wafted out from the egg. Everyone saw the snow-white grouse inside the clay egg, with not a single chicken feather on it.

Edwin took a grouse that Victor handed over and took a bite. The tender and juicy chicken turned into a delicious taste that he had never tasted in his mouth.

"I see, when peeling off the sintered clay, the chicken feathers were also peeled off, and the flavor of the grouse was completely locked in the chicken. What a genius idea. Victor, what is the name of this dish?"

After Devin finished eating a whole grouse in one go, he asked Victor.

"This is a method I heard from an old mercenary. How about calling it mercenary chicken?"
