Chapter 460: Deep Sorrow (69): Cruzde Dishes (Part 2)

"But I remember it was mentioned in the 'Manuscript of the Church of Hope'." Dak looked at Wulfya levelly and analyzed:

"Ato's 'first death' was caused by Lett Sugra, also known as the 'Echoer'. At that time, in order to regain the 'Kofu City', the Zinni people under the leadership of Kaigu Rurik, the senior general of Sugra City Under his leadership, a carefully prepared 'special military operation' was launched.

"At that time, Yato was fighting against the 'Young Wolf', one of the top leaders of an organization called the 'Lone Wolf Society', an 'independent armed force' that obeyed the Zine people. Because of the timely support of the Wrights, , causing Yato to miss the best opportunity to evacuate the battlefield, and in desperation, was forced to detonate a 'Fire of Punishment' sold from the 'Pioneer' Viking Chief."

"So, are you planning to say... Yato, maybe you still have a grudge against Wright?" Wulfya asked.

"It's not impossible." Dak nodded and said:

"Extreme hatred may make the victim calm, because after being stimulated, the brain will actively shield the tragic memories to protect the health of the human body. The most mutated organ of the Lost is often the heart, and their The brain, in most cases, is not invaded by viruses," Darke explained:

"On the surface, Yato will not show hatred for the Echoers under any circumstances. He will bury this emotion in the deep consciousness beneath his subconscious mind. Like a seed, when sunlight, soil and When the water conditions are sufficient, it will break out of the ground and grow wildly like a vine.

"Two months ago, at the market in Xinfeng Town, I heard something about Yato from an old man from the Zine Empire."

"Oh, what could it be?" Wulfya asked curiously.

"It is said that in the semi-alien realm created by the 'Daughter of Mechanical Elements', at the end of the sea of ​​sunflowers and in front of the altar leading to the temple, Yato experienced the 'second death'. However, at that time The Zine army and the reporters accompanying the army did not have the opportunity to enter there, and this incident was not officially recorded by the Zine people," Dake recalled:

"And the old man told me that he was one of the researchers who participated in turning Yato into a monster, and was a student of John and Shamon. After the Zine people failed in the battle in the Silent Highlands, their crown prince Ifant was killed by the 'Echoers' before being evacuated.

"After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, in order to quell the dissatisfaction in the empire over the failure of the 'Silent Highlands' campaign, all the major high-level generals and scientific researchers involved in war planning were arrested and executed. Only the old man knew about it in advance. After hearing the news, I escaped from Zhnetsk in the middle of the night filled with poisonous fog. After wandering all the way, I came to our Krusted and settled down. "

"Dak, by the way, have you asked the old man his name and specific position? If he can't tell these clearly, then I have every reason to suspect that he is lying." Wofya said:

"Anyone around us may have bad intentions. They are either the 'Vikings' in the Federal Council who oppose Chief Vasily, or they are members of the Lost Organization. If so, the old man is someone with ulterior motives. The words used to mislead us, and believing his lies will cause us to make mistakes in judgment, and thus miss the opportunity to discover the final secrets of the 'Echoer' and 'Plamini'."

"It's hard for me to believe that such an old man in ragged clothes and living in abject poverty is an enemy. The Lost often think that they are nobler than humans and will inadvertently show contempt when talking to us. And those administrators who serve the Federation We have seen a lot of personnel, Wovya, and they either reveal the majesty of military personnel or the elite temperament of civilian personnel." Dak replied:

"And the old man has nothing. He is a down-and-out man who has lost everything. He is doing some basic electrical maintenance work in Xinfeng Town and surviving the last few years of his life. As for his name, he does not want to reveal it. , It just means that the senior officials of the Zinni people are accustomed to calling them by their code names instead of their names."

"So, what is his code name?" Wulfya asked.

"'Tram'." Duck replied, with a hint of indifferent sadness in his eyes as he said:

"As a member of what was later called the 'Special Biological Combination Research Group' led by John, he was only a Red Earth 3 in the rank hierarchy of the Zineen people, and he was the weakest among the respectable people. And His professional title is that he is a member of the 16th Research Group of the Zhenetsk City Military Institute of the Empire of Zhne.

"The old man from 'Tram' once worked with John and Shamon to conduct many cruel and inhumane 'scientific experiments' using the lives of Zhne people. He said that the success rate of these experiments was very low, but for the military development of the empire, he must go There is no other way to do it. But now, he is alone and living alone in a foreign country. He has believed in the devil and has done evil deeds, and God has given him retribution in this world.”

Wovya walked back to the kitchen counter and looked at the steamer with "tons" of water mist coming out and the lid constantly flapping. Wovya turned off the gas valve, picked up a rag soaked in cold water, and wiped the steamer. After opening the lid of the pot, he turned his back to Duck and asked:

"So, Dark. Now that the validity of the intelligence can be verified for the time being, what is your conclusion?"

"Since the two deaths are related to the 'Echoer', then the hatred buried deep in Yato's heart cannot disappear. Unless..." Before Dark could finish his answer, he was interrupted by Wofya:

"Unless there's a fight, right?"

"Of course." Dak smiled bitterly:

"If the 'Chaos Group' still has the strength to compete with us, Yatuo will naturally wait until we are defeated before heading north to seek revenge on the 'Echoes'. Once the battle situation is completely favorable to us, or even one-sided, Yatuo will force the 'Chaos Group' to leave the camp and head to the wind wall of the 'Bersluna Region'.

"Perhaps, Yatuo will use hard power to break it and go straight to the area where the 'Echoes' are bound."

"I understand, Dak." Wolfya smacked his lips, thought for half a minute, and analyzed:

"You mean, we can indeed follow my ideas for the time being and not rush, and go north after we are ready. And once there is a clear signal of change in the situation, we have to make a decision quickly, without delay, and go north immediately, right?"

"I think that should be the case." Dak nodded and responded.

"Alas, I wanted to show you my cooking skills today, but we talked about those annoying things again. Dak, the preparations for this Cruzd meal are almost complete. Wait for me for half an hour and I will give you a hearty lunch. "Wolfya patted Dak on the shoulder and said with a relaxed expression.

Next, Wolfya used all kinds of methods that Dak could think of and could not imagine to deal with the remaining meat and vegetable ingredients. After about 29 minutes, the originally empty table was filled with "abnormally hearty" dishes.

Although Wolfya was trying his best to introduce his craftsmanship and the names and origins of various dishes, it was a different scene in Dak's eyes.

The first was the "Suda Fried Chicken" that was born in the period of Ivan XXII. At that time, the Cruzd Empire once controlled half of the territory of Rhine, and many dishes combining the cultures of the two countries were born.

However, after being boiled in water, the "Ice Rooster" was sprinkled with purple and brown seasonings and fried in a pan, but it showed a trampled look. The rotten feeling of being ravaged for a long time.

The originally chewy meat became as soft as the brain of an animal, and after being randomly stirred with a fork, it actually scattered like mud. Like minced meat with albinism, it blended into the purple and brown overlapping and intertwined soup, like a monster corroded by a stronger force, as if it had experienced a noisy and clamorous trampling, and after struggling to death, it became dilapidated, unkempt, and horrible.

Faced with such a "delicious food", Dak forced himself to endure the bitterness, stench and nausea brought by the excessive seasoning, smiled awkwardly, turned his head and looked at the cold dish on the side, "Bear meat sausage cut plate".

Although after thousands of years of unremitting efforts by the people of Cruz, after several version updates, "Bear meat sausage", both in appearance and smell, is not much different from normal food

However, whether it was due to Wolfya's limited cooking skills or the storage errors of the ingredients themselves, Dak found that the surface of the sausage was a little too dark, as if it was brushed with a layer of sticky asphalt.

It was also very stiff and dry, and it was very difficult to cut it with a knife and fork, giving Dak the feeling of sawing a tree.

Staring at the "bear meat sausage" that was sawed open with great difficulty, and watching the curry-like juice flowing out from the inside, Dak felt that the acid that had gathered in his stomach due to hunger just now began to surge constantly. Since his stomach was still empty, only a little sour smell emanated from his dry retching.

Trying hard to restrain the physical discomfort caused by the food, Dak tilted his head to look at the large aluminum basin of boiled vegetables.

In the thick broth dominated by green, all kinds of common vegetables were lying in a mess and crooked manner. Uncommon and uncommon vegetables from all over the world, they are twisted, intertwined, and stacked in a strange way in the pot, each one seems to be blurred, but also seems to be clearly distinguished.

They are like the monster plants contaminated by "viruses" that can be seen from time to time in the wild soil, with ugly appearance, unpleasant smell, bitter taste and aggressive branches to prevent the danger of being picked and preyed.

Facing the "Crusad dishes" that Wolfya has worked hard to make, Dark silently chanted the words of the ancient gods, trying to use the rumored "power of the ancient" to reduce the possibility of his mental breakdown, so that he can persist in the posture of a normal person until the end of eating this dish.

Swallowing his saliva, Dark silently chanted:

"The ancient was there, the ancient is still there, the ancient will last forever, and the ancient will die. May all those who are lost and listen to the ridicule in the hundreds and thousands of parallel worlds be forgiven, and not see the old faces, causing their minds to be damaged and their souls to be lost. "
