50 Enchanted Camper Cooking Lines
“ ……. ”
I've lost my words.
I put cold sweat on my forehead. Seeing Sis' expression, which is stunning but very proud, there was nothing to say.
“Ha, ha, ha. You've prepared the sheath very thoroughly. Hahaha... ”
When I tried so hard to compliment him, he surprisingly rarely blushes his cheeks.
It was the first time I saw his expression with emotion.
Are you weak in praises?
I decided to give it a try.
“I think it would be great if cis cooked for me. I'm really excited."
The sheath bows. I was so ashamed that my ears turned red. Ugh! Cuteness level was the same as gnome.
“Huh? Those star silver earrings are pretty, too. Now it turns out Sis was a very cute girl. Oh, those hairpins are so pretty. ”
As he poured out his compliments, Sis shuddered in shame. Hahaha, this is fun.
Wheeing...
The cold wind was so strong that my body shrunk as soon as I blew. It was the weather that was about to enter the winter after the late fall.
Rex asks me, wrapped around his body in an old brown cloak.
“Then why did you come here to hunt monsters? Confucius Caroc is an animist, but he's usually a merchant. ”
“I see. I wonder if I've come to the wilderness where monsters don't appear often. ”
Dean raises questions.
It was as the two of them said.
It was intended to defeat the monsters and relieve Brother Arthur of some of his burdens, but in fact, the purpose was different.
“I just want to check something out. ”
“What do you mean? ”
I explained in Dean's question.
“Earth swarms don't come out of the ground because they feed on soil nutrients and moisture. ”
Lex nods.
“That's right. I've hardly heard of being attacked by Earth Swarms. ”
“But those Earth Swarms, they're very sensitive to weather changes. ”
“Yes?”
Everyone questioned me.
Yeah, that's probably the first I've heard of it.
What I'm saying is, it's not going to be announced to the Conference for another 30 years.
I started explaining the secret to the group about the Earth Swarm.
What is the most important thing for a farmer to build a farm?
Of course it's weather.
It is because the rain only moisturizes crops and fertilizes the land in a timely manner. If it doesn't rain, or if it comes too much, the farmer will suffer a disaster called drought and flood.
Funnily enough, so was the Earth Swarm.
Earth Swarm, a monster made of soil, eats the nutrients and moisture of the soil, just like its crops. Of course, the Earth Swarm was also very sensitive to the weather.
Earth Swarm instinctively predicts the next year's weather.
If you think it's going to rain too much next year, go to the high terrain without being flooded.
On the other hand, in the unlikely event of a drought, we desperately run out of moisture before winter comes when we have to hibernate. to survive the next year's drought.
Dean yells in surprise after hearing me.
“Are you sure Earth Swarm predicts the next year's climate? So, will there be a flood or a drought next year? ”
“Yes. If there's a drought next year, Earth Swarm will desperately try to get some water right before winter. ”
“That's the first I've heard of it. ”
“Ah. I heard it from an old man, too. ”
You're not wrong. I was an old man before I regressed.
“So we can see how much wheat the Confederate bought from the House of Hoodini will sell if we observe the Earth Swarm? ”
Dean slaps his knee as if he only knew.
“Exactly. If there's a drought next year, I'll buy a lot of wheat beforehand. ”
I already know the truth. There's an ultra-high drought next year.
There's a real reason you came here to hunt Earth Swarms.
“By the way, Earth Swarm keeps moisture.... ”
Rex says something ominous. I laughed and laughed.
“For example, the blood water that flows through our bodies. ”
Everyone's face turned white.
The wilderness corresponding to the western part of Baron Kunt was a place with an endless expanse of empty wilderness in its name.
It was originally a fertile land. It has long been said that the Earth Swarm inhabited all the food and became a barren wilderness. Well, it doesn't sound very credible.
However, this was not an important transportation and it was not land that could be developed, so the Kunt family was also at hand.
However, we do not abandon this area when killing monsters every year, because of the kind of monsters that live here.
Blood Scorpion.
And Earth Swarm.
They were both dangerous. Blood Scorpion is a very strong and ferocious monster, so it is important to be consistently defeated and found and destroyed in order not to increase the population.
Earth Swarm had to be wary of falling prey because invading territorial farmland could kill crops.
That's what I decided to do for you this year.
Moreover, the Earth Swarm crumbles when it dies and becomes black soil. This is also very nutrient-rich soil.
In fact, this was my goal.
I needed fertile land to grow herbs, but I was planning to grow a herb field with the black soil obtained by defeating him.
I don't have anything else to do for a while anyway.
“Hey, look over there! ”
Dean stands on top of the wagon and yells, looking around.
Looking at you, something dark is approaching us with a gruesome delay.
One, two, three, four…… five in total.
It was Earth Swarm.
“It really is Earth Swarm! ”
Lex is sweating cold.
“I've never seen them raid before. ”
Dean looks at them as if they were strange.
They may be slowing down, but they're definitely closing in on us.
“Okay, is it time to demonstrate your practice of animosity? ”
When I tried to summon the gnome, Dean withdrew.
“Save your spiritual affinity. You don't need to leave already, so leave this to us. ”
“Fine. I'll leave the command to you, Dean. ”
“Thank you. So, Sis, do you know the magic of the aqueduct? ”
“…… Water Ball. ”
“Put it on them. If you get wet, their movements will slow down. That's when me and Lex stab them in the core with our spears. Confucius Carroc asks for help just in case. ”
Dean is skillful in command. There seems to be a reasonable explanation for whether it is due to the rich experience of conducting.
As the five Earth Swarms approach within 10 meters, Dean flicks his fingers.
“Water Ball. ”
The sheath casts a spell. A puddle of water flies away, slightly larger than the head.
Shoot him!
A puddle of water erupts and the Earth swarms flood with water. The Earth Swarms shudder and shudder as they touch the water.
“This time!”
Dean and Lex rush through the steel spear.
Phew! Phew!
Accurate creation! Two of them have been destroyed and have lost their form and spilled into excellent black soil.
“Thunder Arrow. ”
The sheath subsequently fires a lightning bolt through a nucleus of the Earth Swarm.
The remaining two are also killed lightly by Dean and Lex.
“Now it's my turn! ”
When I walk out the front and hit the back drum, everyone looks at me as if to say what I mean. I shouted bravely.
“Noum! Collect the debris! ”
-Yeah.
Norm picks up all the debris from the Earth Swarm and puts it on the wagon.
“ ……. ”
Why are you looking at me like that? So, you guys want to spread them out by hand?
“Here he comes again. This could be a real drought next year. ”
Lex points to the left and says, Three Earth swarms crawl in from about 50 meters to the left.
“Over there.”
This time, Sis warns you as she sees four Earth Swarms crawling from far to the right.
“We'll take the four on the right and the three on the left. ”
“Okay.”
Here comes the action!
“Earth Sphere! ”
Qajik!
A spear in the earth protrudes from the ground, piercing the trunk of an Earth swarm.
“Earth Sphere! Earth Sphere!”
As the spear of the earth continues to rise from the ground, the Earth Swarm spills its debris into pieces.
One Shot One Kill! Such a blade of precision was due to our peculiar sense of gnome. The gnomes know exactly what the Earth Swarm is made of, so they can be destroyed in a single blow with every open Earth Sphere.
Dean and his group seem to be doing well, too.
“Water Wave. ”
Sis chants.
Water clumps from the air into a puddle of water, striking the waves and hitting the Earth swarms like waves.
Aaaaah!
Four water-drenched creatures convulse. In the gap, Dean and Lex rush in and stab each other through a steel spear. I had to stab him several times because he couldn't see where the nucleus was.
But it was then.
- Two under your feet.
“What?"
It was when we were confounded by the warnings of Rage.
Phew!
Two Earth worms of black soil appear beneath our feet.
“Earth Sphere! ”
In my cry, gnome pierced one with the spear of the earth. A pile of black dirt that crumbles.
But the other one struck Lex.
“Wack! You bastard! ”
Rex is stabbed with a steel spear, but it doesn't matter if he can't hit the nuke.
I tried to stab him again, but the Earth Swarm was faster to swallow Rex whole. Rex is being sucked into the pit like an ant.
Lex can't swing a steel spear with the black soil up to his right arm.
