Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 480 - 254: Tales of the Old Crew (Part 2)

This plant, as previously mentioned, is versatile in cooking, but when barbecued, it’s a bit like grilled chives from Earth. It retains some of its original form but shrinks and curls slightly under the heat and spices, somewhat resembling fried noodles. Although not the most visually enticing, it is still very appetizing.

After serving the Marine Flower, Xiaoniu brought over a meat tower with numerous meats grilled to perfection, using a knife to slice off the fused barbecue from the top.

This style of grilling is akin to Turkish kebab, but Nebis rarely sees it, suggesting it might be Xiaoniu’s own creation.

"There wasn’t much opportunity to make such dishes before."

ALulu looked slightly embarrassed at Li Ang and Farina, "The spices aren’t very evenly distributed, so the flavor might vary."

"It’s pretty good." Dorothy commented while eating, "Apart from those well-known island restaurants among the nobility, regular restaurants are at this level."

ALulu stared with her round light purple eyes, waiting for Li Ang’s response.

Li Ang popped a piece into his mouth and nodded, "The aroma of the oils blends well, the timing is spot on, and though the flavor of the spices and honey is slightly strong, it overcomes minor imbalances and slight overburnt parts. Hard to believe it’s your first time; our team will enjoy this in the future."

"If brother likes it, I have some other dishes I want to try in the future. Don’t worry; I’ll do my best." Xiaoniu smiled and returned to the grill.

The half-elf murmured softly, "Has he been thinking about saying this for a long time?"

Farina, next to her, laughed, "That’s just how little Li Ang is. He’ll respond well when you expect it, without speaking carelessly due to fear of facing emotions."

"Yeah, only he would do that, I found out later..."

Dorothy hummed twice, seemingly recalling the time she ran away from school and her experiences with Li Ang in the Aomori Islands. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The Dragon Witch glanced at Li Ang’s expressionless face, "But back then, it was a bit awkward."

"Eh?"

Dorothy, intrigued, leaned closer to her, "It was when you first formed The Soul Apex. Sister Farin, tell us?"

Li Ang took a breath, intending to stop them, but seeing the harmonious atmosphere among the women, he couldn’t bring himself to speak.

Unlike the three youthful spirits, these two had a more similar style.

The swimsuit Dorothy chose wasn’t overly revealing, but the more you looked, the more you realized it was everywhere, deliberately not showing prohibited areas but close to those spots, and the thin material sleekly outlining every seductive curve.

Meanwhile, Farina wore a one-piece swimsuit, but it wasn’t entirely one-piece. Black silk connected the parts, with a thin towel wrapped around her waist resembling a long dress.

Though possessing an extraordinary figure, she never overdid the display, relying on dazzling charm to captivate others for years.

Yet over all these years, she also showed no intent to seek a partner.

Two mature and enchanting women sat together, conversing softly, a scene he didn’t want to disrupt.

"Once, we fought against a goblin tribe. Their King, accompanied by five Mage guards, with Vielna using shield weaponry to restrain the Goblin King, while those Mages used the bones of various slaughtered creatures to summon totems imbued with the Power of the Dead to continuously heal the semi-undead Goblin King."

"That time, ah, let’s not mention it, whatever." Farina began recalling a battle, making Li Ang unconsciously rub his temple.

In that battle, The Soul Apex decided to have Rams and other Warriors force the Mages to move far away, limiting their Undead Totems to only heal themselves and not the Goblin King.

But this only allowed a stalemate without a decisive breakthrough since the semi-undead Goblin King could still absorb the deathly energy present in the area.

"...Rams, who went to control the Mages, believed that Li Ang should come up with a way, together with us Casters, to destroy all the totems, so without their healing force, the goblin tribe would surely be defeated," Farina said.

Dorothy remained silent, intently listening.

The Dragon Witch chuckled, "Do you think this method looks feasible just from the surface?"

"I can’t see any problem with it?"

"Indeed, anyone would find no obvious issue."

Farina explained, "But the danger was only apparent to us, tasked with eliminating the totems with Ranged Attack. Those totems were part of the Land of the Dead, and after several rounds of large-scale Magic Attack, there were no apparent signs of their numbers reducing, making us panic.

"The more battles encountered with these sub-humans, the more you realize that on their grounds, things don’t follow common sense. Perhaps this tribe has existed for centuries, with countless bones hidden underground, so we couldn’t eradicate them before our Magic Power Reserves depleted."

"In the end, how was it resolved?" Dorothy immediately inquired.

Farina looked at Li Ang, "Little Li Ang decided right away to rely on the witch’s Spiritual Manipulation to seize the Spirit of Death within these totems, inversely condensing the deathly forces gathered by these goblins to create a large skeleton construct. With the sudden reinforcement, the stalemate was broken, and the Goblin King was defeated."

"Isn’t that great?"

"Yes, after informing us, he immediately started Casting and succeeded,"
