Grilled Skewers
Magic.
Imagination.
Rienta stood there, the two words flashing through her mind.
A moment later.
"Ah, I see."
Rienta chuckled softly, then placed her hand once again over the Golden Transformation flowers and plants beside her.
A tender green light, belonging to the [Magic That Heals Everything], suddenly appeared.
Unlike before, this pale green light became increasingly faint as it fell.
When it landed on the Golden Transformation flowers and plants, it turned completely white.
The moment the two came into contact, the golden flowers and plants rapidly turned into tender green.
In just one second, the curse from Macht of the Golden Land, the strongest of the Seven Sages of Destruction of the Golden Land, was lifted.
"The strongest known [curse]?"
"The strongest of the Seven Sages of Destruction of the Macht of the Golden Land?"
Rienta's lips curled into a smile as her gaze swept over the distant Fortress City of Weise.
"That's all there is to it."
"I see, Aetilu read Macht's memories."
"I never imagined her skill in mental magic was so profound."
Inside the wooden house.
Frieren sat on the wooden table, swinging her legs back and forth.
She never expected that Aetilu, who looked like a child, could do such a thing.
He forcibly read the memories of Macht of the Golden Land, the strongest of the Seven Sages of Destruction of Demons Realm, in his human form.
Stark turned his head to look at Frieren, and asked in surprise, "Is she really that powerful?"
Frieren explained, "The mental structures of humans and Demons are completely different."
"To infiltrate the Demons's mental world and search for and read their memories is extremely difficult."
"I'm afraid Aetilu also suffered unbearable pain."
After Frieren finished speaking, the cabin fell silent, and everyone wore different expressions.
Dunkel hesitated, but in the end he just sighed and didn't say anything.
To help him gather intelligence, Lernen and Aetilu even confronted Macht head-on.
This is not just pain, it's a life-or-death crisis.
Dunkel looked out the window and realized it was already evening. Just as he was about to speak, the door to the cabin was pushed open.
The person who arrived was none other than Rienta had been missing for a long time.
After entering the wooden house, Rienta looked around, pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"It's lunchtime, shall we eat first?"
Ever since I reunited with Dunkel, I've been listening to his stories.
He didn't know how Frieren and the others were feeling, but he was definitely hungry.
Frieren tilted her head, then jumped off the table and said:
"Indeed, I'm a little hungry too."
Stark's stomach rumbled.
Having fully recovered, Fern said, "Then, I'll help too."
At this moment, Dunkel, who had been standing silently in place, spoke up.
"Well, I have something else to take care of. I'll come back later and tell you about Macht's memories."
Not even eating?
What's the rush?
Rienta looked at Dunkel: "My cooking is pretty good, let's have a meal first before we go."
Dunkel shook his head and explained, "That's not the point."
"Ever since I took over as the Barrier manager, I go to negotiate with that guy in the Golden Land every day at this time."
Even if the possibility is tiny, I will try.
Negotiation? And the Demons?
Upon hearing this, Rienta had already experienced similar situations, sneered, pulled Fern out of the cabin, and began preparing dinner.
He won't try to persuade Dunkel.
As Court Mage, Dunkel couldn't possibly be unaware that Demons are a race rife with lies.
Even under these circumstances, Dunkel still chose to negotiate.
This can only prove one thing.
Macht is indeed an invincible force.
Dunkel did indeed want to save his hometown.
At this point, Dunkel couldn't be won over simply with words.
Outside the wooden house.
Rienta took out various kitchen utensils and ingredients from her [Personal Space].
Before long, the edge of the Cliffside was piled up.
Fern glanced around and realized that Rienta wanted to make kebabs.
Perfect timing, she hadn't had this in a long time either.
Taking the apron from Rienta, she tied her hair up. At that moment, Rienta also prepared clean water for washing her hands.
After a quick wash, the two began preparing the ingredients.
Cut the meat into chunks and the vegetables into slices.
Then skewer them one by one and set them aside for later use.
Fern hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Rienta, you were being a bit too rude today."
Rienta was starting a fire, and the dark charcoal quickly turned orange-red under the scorching heat of fire magic.
Upon hearing Fern's words, Rienta, while fiddling with the charcoal, replied calmly:
"I know."
Fern frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then continued to deal with the ingredients in front of him.
There will be five people eating soon, so she needs to hurry.
Even if Dunkel doesn't participate, there are still two big eaters on the team.
No, there are three now.
I don't know what's wrong with my Rienta, ever since he First-Class Mage exam, his appetite has increased several times over.
And she was indeed a little hungry.
With Rienta's magic of "I can eat as much as I want without getting fat," it's no problem to eat a little more today.
As for Rienta's strange attitude today.
She knew why, but didn't say much about it.
At this moment, Frieren and the others also came out.
Dunkel bowed slightly to the group, then walked towards the Barrier without looking back.
Stark placed the tea set on the wooden table he had crafted himself.
Frieren picked up the 'Yixing Teapot' and poured herself a cup of tea.
Ignoring the questioning look from Stark, he continued drinking.
Rienta and Fern moved very quickly.
In just about half an hour, the first batch of skewers was ready.
The meat chunks, green peppers, and scallion whites are evenly skewered on the sticks.
There are also pure meat options, such as beef or pork belly.
There are also purely vegetable options, such as potato chips and eggplant.
Under the intense heat of the charcoal fire, a golden-brown crust forms on the surface of the skewers.
A variety of fragrances permeated the Cliffside.
Because of the presence of [Telekinesis], the first batch of grilled skewers numbered over a hundred.
Two small mountains of meat skewers were piled up on the side, ready to be grilled but not yet prepared.
"Fern, this should be enough. Let's leave it at that for now."
After saying that, Rienta carried two large plates of grilled meat skewers to the wooden table.
Fern stretched his sore wrists, gave them a quick wash, and then walked over to the wooden table.
After everyone has arrived.
Rienta took out more than ten kinds of cold drinks from her [Personal Space] and distributed them according to their respective preferences.
Stark picked up a skewer of perfectly balanced grilled meat, opened his mouth, and took a big bite.
The juicy, tender grilled skewers burst open in his mouth, their irresistible aroma assaulting his senses.
Stark's eyes widened. "Delicious!"
Frieren held a skewer of evenly cooked pork belly in her left hand and a skewer of golden-brown roasted pork belly in her right.
"Aww~ Chew~ Chew~"
Rienta smiled as she looked at Frieren, whose cheeks were bulging, and handed her the dry dish she had just prepared.
"You can try dipping the pork belly in this."
"Rienta, I want one too!"
"Okay, okay."
"Rienta..."
"... I understand, I'll prepare it for you in a bit..."
