Night ■149: Dive through the blizzard

So now the Ashlees are in the cave.

The caves that would have been created by the long-standing mountain building movement and erosion were impressively wide, and the ceilings were high enough to remind me of the cathedral.

How could such an unimaginable shape emerge?

Several stone pillars with regular hexagonal cross sections hang like chandeliers in a palace.

It really looks like a cathedral.

Ashlee looked up emotionally at the moldings of God created by nature.

In her arms were Zion and Snow, who seemed to be constantly breathing.

The expedition for Izuma's information was extremely difficult as expected, but thanks to the two of them, who were prepared in advance and drew the blood of the Night Demon, they managed to get through the gap of the blizzard.

The Night Demon Grand Duke's kingdom (Kun), where most of the year lies in the midst of ice and snow: Geiselron.

Even for Zion, who was born as the son of the archduke who ruled the country and grew up with snow, ice, and snowstorms as his friends, the snowstorms seemed quite difficult as the storms blowing inside the boundary of this dragon, but she never lost sight of its direction, no matter how strong the snowstorm.

Follow the instructions and take Snow aboard Holy Shield: Branvell, as Ashlee sleds on the snow.

Breaking through a canyon surrounded by thousands of metallic peaks on three sides, we aim to go further into the depths of the canyon.

Even with the support of Theon and the knowledge of a human named Branvelle, this blizzard is a blizzard.

The march is hard to come by.

Moreover, when the sun tilts slightly at the bottom of the valley, it is quickly swallowed up by the darkness.

While being careful not to accidentally step through snow-covered, invisible cracks or snow cover stretching toward the bottom of the valley, sewing through snowstorm cracks is a procession that drains more energy than you can imagine.

Aiming at the weakening of the blizzard, while it was bright and moving at full speed, there was only a tunnel operation to secure the caves and cavities and get warmed up.

If you're not prepared in advance, just thinking about it will cause the chill to run down your spine.

The shadow cloak used by Theon was originally a powerhouse for the costumed Night Demon aristocrats to have a casual evening party on their hunting trip.

I didn't even know that Ashlee could be so effective in exploring survival assumptions like this.

In a world closed to thick snow and ice, it is difficult to get food, firewood or even water.

There may be opinions that you should eat snow or ice, even if it's water, but that's just an amateur's decision.

First of all, there is no guarantee that the ice and snow in nature will be clean.

Next, if there is nothing to compensate for the loss of calories and strength in exchange for melting it directly in your mouth, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a slow suicidal act.

In the midst of a violent snowstorm that relentlessly takes away body temperature and energy, sucking on ice and cooling the body from the inside is almost like taking off your cold-proof clothes in the middle of winter.

Of course, the Ashleys had everything they needed.

Prior to this expedition, Ashlee received an ample supply of specially clean, pure spring water from the Snake Princess: Maria spring.

The source of Maria, which was extremely impure, was so clean that the seafaring sailors envied it, and yet it was so delicious.

And the princess of the serpent, having taken great care of her mouth that it was only ashle, allowed her own blood to be filled into the vial.

The blood of any high-ranking serpent shrine maiden is said to provide great vitality to humans.

Because of that, the serpent maidens had a history of being hunted.

I was instructed to drink this when my physical strength was drained and I was stuck.

Ashlee thanked Maria generously for allowing her to put her blade on her soft skin.

Of course, I do not know that the serpent maiden gives a part of her flesh to others to propose to herself.

I'm not worried about the food, either, thanks to Goldberg's help.

With the head of a boar, this overburden gave me a pile of baked bread and pretzels, even though I didn't ask for them.

The Shadow Cloak is packed with dried meats and salami, salted meats in sausages, and dried fruits. It's also packed with preserved foods made by drying summer mushrooms and marinating them in oil.

As for the fish, the night demon princess said, "Please don't move the smell into your clothes."

Unlike the serpent princess who seemed to feel a supreme combination of devotion to Ashle, Gouldveld, the maker of gastronomy, naturally demanded a price.

Barter, to be specific.

The order was to catch thunderbirds and precious wild birdlife hovering in the mountains.

"Listen, don't ever drain your guts, my friend." His slaves have delicious organelles again. Don't drain blood if you've got it, just pack it in the snow and save it. If you do that, your organs won't be damaged, and your blood will turn into meat, making it the most noble ingredient. No ice, snow? The ice will freeze the meat. "

At the dawn of the achievement, the overload, the king of the feast hole (the Feast Pit), undertook to let the thunderbirds taste the pie wrapped in stew with liver.

The stew with liver is said to be very delicious, adding flavor to the exquisite wine that has passed through so many years.

Ashlee, a small but prestigious nobleman named Baraje, has eaten wild birds (jivier), boars, deer, and other so-called hunting meat (game meat), but he has not eaten the thunderbirds that roam the mountains.

Imagining what the flavor would be like, I searched for thunderbirds and wild birdlife at the snowstorm chasm, but I haven't been able to complete my mission yet.

Anyway, thanks to the Snake Princess and the Piggy King (Oak King) who lent me their strength and materials, the camp of the search party became rich as if the hard work of marching in the snow was a lie.

And Snow's cuisine, which was so attentive to the differences between her and the beautiful sister, was a wonderful flavor that she had only undertaken herself.

It's just that there's a lot of it, and sometimes I'm just hiding and adding something to my cooking.

When I saw it, I asked, "Oh, this, this, this, this, this is the hidden flavor! The hidden taste of love! Only the response" "came back.

Absolutely suspicious... but Achilles lost his hunger and scraped the beans with a blood patty on Snow's blood sausage.

Stewing uses firewood, so it is actually classified as a quite luxurious meal in the open air.

It's an art that can't be done without a lot of advance preparation.

“It's based on wine vinegar, and it's made with mustard and honey!”

This is my hidden flavor, yo.

When Snow declared that she was with Zion and praised him as being amazing, Snow shook her chest with pride.

I see. Young people can only praise and stretch.

When the golden honey liquor and thin slices of lemon made by marinating the herbs were hot in a hand pan and poured into the goblet, a relaxing time enveloped the assholes.

Cultivate your spirit with sweet baked goods made by Atelouis.

It's a great place to eat and relax after dinner when you completely forget that this is a secluded place far away from the base camp, and that outside the cave is a blizzard that's so intense that you can't even see the palms in front of you.

It was a pleasant living space that could be mistaken for a moving court if it was laid with an Aram-style rug that had been disrespected from the palace, and leaned against the cushions that had been provided.

"Good, this is good!"

After praising her new sister's cooking, the Night Demon Princess suddenly had a true face.

Hmm? For a moment, my eyebrows were pulled up.

Shows a look that scrutinizes what's in your mouth, like you're thinking about something.

"... what's the matter? Sister Zion (hey). Did you taste anything strange?"

"You... this is... hmm. Yeah, I guess so."

"What? What's the matter, Theon? Something bothering you?"

Ashlee asked unexpectedly as Zion peered into Snow's eyes.

"No way, it's pretty wild... it's a wild and overflowing flavor." Unusual for you, it's a pretty aggressive flavor. "

So, right? I'm a little inspired or stimulated by Goldberg's seasoning, hahaha

Theon, a true king's nobleman and a fat-tongued gastronomer, thought something sharp would come from him. Snow waved his hand and showed him that he couldn't hide the tension.

I see, Zion's impressions are perfect for what Ashlee feels like.

This dish is a new frontier for a chef named Snow.

But that was not all Theon had found in Snow's cooking.

When I thought about the discomfort I felt at that time, Ashlee was replaced by Zion as the personality of the dish.

Zion and Snow conspired unintentionally in a pseudo-sisterly relationship, even in such a place, without words.

"This isn't the first time I've eaten Snow's food, but it certainly isn't that easy." It's very aristocratic, or rather, it's a flavor that feels like blood. Is it because of the boar and deer blood used in the Blood Sausage? Or is it because of the pigeon, some kind of blood and liver that Goldberg made of kneaded putty? Anyway, this tastes like Jivier. Such a strong tantrum that the nobility of the royal family seemed to like. I wonder if I should call it sensual? The taste of excitement? It's not a common people's meal, is it? I also want to know how you brought out this flavor. Wouldn't you be surprised if it was Goldberg? "

Snow laughed at Aashre's agreement and admiration.

Wipe the sweat on your forehead, whether you were nervous or fighting a big pot dish.

Here, Ashlee should have been a little more careful, more sensitive to changes in Theon, and more specifically, she should have asked about Snow's hidden flavors.
