The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 410 Catching Fish in Cuixi Plain

"Delicious!" Vasita took a big bite as soon as she got it.

Sylph ate more delicately, praising Lilith's breakfast: "This is more to my and Bea's liking than last night's cake!"

Bea also said, "The cranberry jam is so delicious!"

“My honey ghee version is the real delicacy,” Lilith said.

Moran found their tastes hard to understand.

Fortunately, this Lao Gan Ma chili sauce comes from her card store and has an authentic flavor. Wrapped in the pancake, it tastes pretty good.

After breakfast, they each took out their witch's books to read and pass the time on their journey.

As I looked around, I suddenly felt that the environment had brightened up a bit.

The witches looked ahead and saw that the once endless dark clouds had somehow revealed a bright blue edge.

As the flying carpet moved forward, the blue edge turned into a blue ribbon.

Before long, the flying carpet burst out of the rain, with layers of dark clouds behind it and a clear blue sky ahead.

Faced with such a visual impact, Moran and the others couldn't help but stand up.

Sylph exclaimed in surprise, "So even dark clouds have boundaries!"

"The terrain has become gentler, and there are more rivers and lakes. Are we in the Cuixi Plain now?" Vasida asked.

Lilith checked the map in the route planning function and nodded in confirmation, "We should have arrived at Emerald Creek Plain."

"Let me see where there are good fish!" Moran used his wayfinding magic and pointed to the northwest: "Go that way! There's a lake ten kilometers away in that direction, and there are many edible freshwater fish in the lake."

As Lilith adjusted the flight path, she asked, "Your wayfinding skill is also at the intermediate level?"

The art of asking for directions requires at least an intermediate level to be able to divine such detailed location information.

"Yes! Finding some common resources is still very useful," Moran said.

The flying carpet flew several kilometers to the northwest and indeed came across an unnamed lake.

It is only half the size of Chunjian Lake, but the water is very deep, and you can see schools of fish blowing bubbles from the sky.

The pointed fins of the fish broke the surface of the water, shimmering with colorful light in the sunlight.

"They're rainbowfin fish!" Moran immediately took a liking to the group of fish. She now understood why the wayfinding spell had led her this way: "Lilith, activate the invisibility and soundproofing functions of the flying carpet and fly over there!"

Lilith did as she was told.

Upon reaching the area above the school of fish, Moran immediately cast a wide-range electric net spell.

It completely enveloped the entire group of rainbowfin fish, while carefully controlling its power.

Before long, a full twelve large rainbow finned fish floated belly up on the lake surface.

The levitation spell floated them all up; one was used as a crafting material for the Book of Cards, and the rest were temporarily stored in the spatial ring.
"What luck! We found rainbow fin fish right away. We can fry the fins and eat them tonight!"

Lilith swallowed hard: "They say the fins of the rainbowfin are plump but not greasy, a delicacy among freshwater fish fins!"

“There are fish over there too!” Vasita pointed to the other side and said, “They’ve gone underwater!”

"Watch this!" Moran took out a card and materialized it.

"This is...fishweed seeds?" Lilith examined them carefully before recognizing them. "You have these too?"

"Found them in the outer area of ​​the academy," Moran said, scattering the fishweed seeds. The seeds were very light and floated steadily on the water's surface.

"They're here!" Vasita exclaimed. "They're roundhead fish!"

"This looks like something you could make into a spicy fish head dish!"

Before the roundheaded fish could even eat the grass seeds, Moran cast an electric net spell without hesitation, which landed precisely on the head of the first roundheaded fish to emerge.

A crackling sound of electricity came through, and the round-headed fish immediately fainted.

The remaining round-headed fish, which hadn't even had a chance to show their heads yet, were immediately frightened and disappeared.

However, this is enough. After Moran puts it away in the Book of Cards, the {Material Card - Round-headed Fish} can be made at will.

Moran then repeated the process and caught several different kinds of fish.

“It’s truly amazing that it’s made from fish and algae seeds!” Sylph said. “Both herbivorous and omnivorous fish can’t resist it.”

"We should have collected most of the common herbivorous and omnivorous fish in Cuixi Plain. Next, we'll look for carnivorous fish. There should also be pine cone fish, blue horn fish, and black shadow fish in Cuixi Plain..."

Moran listed the types of fish that could be served on the dining table or used for other purposes.

"The algae seeds shouldn't work on carnivorous fish, right?" Vasida asked. "Moran, how do you plan to lure them out?"

"I have a way!" Moran mobilized his magic and used a magical waterbed to spread a thin layer on the water's surface.

After waiting quietly for a while, fish came to my door.

"This is... a magic waterbed?" Vasita was extremely puzzled: "A magic waterbed can be used to lure fish?"

"I discovered it by chance when I was in fifth grade," Moran said. "Most carnivorous fish are aquatic magical beasts, and they have a certain perception of elemental power."

Every drop of water in the magical waterbed is the essence of water element; the rich aura of water elemental power naturally attracts them.

If it weren't for the high crafting cost of {Material Card - Essence of Water Element}, using the purer Essence of Water Element would be even better.

Once enough fish had gathered beneath the water layer of the magic waterbed, Moran called out, "Squeak!"

Zizi immediately grabbed the rainbow belt and cast several electric net spells on the water's surface, stunning all the fish before stopping.

"Zzzy's belt is a magical item! And those gems...could they all be magic gems?!" Vasita asked in surprise, "I didn't even notice before!"

“Hmm!” Moran said, “For Zizi’s safety, I used a combination of runes that conceals energy fluctuations. When not casting magic, it’s not obvious that it’s a magical item.”

"You even made such an amazing belt for Zizi! With so many magic gems, it must be at least a high-level magic item!" Vasita said.

Moran nodded.

Originally, it was not high-grade, but after adding a combination of runes that concealed energy fluctuations and embedding some high-grade magic gems, it became high-grade.

Bea, perched on Sylph's shoulder, flapped her wings and took flight, her eyes filled with envy: "Whoosh whoosh whoosh! That's amazing!"

The vampire vine on Lilith's wrist poked its head out, hooking the tip of the vine and poking the back of Lilith's hand intermittently.

Lilith and Sylph: "..."

Vasida suddenly felt relieved; thankfully, her fried rice was still asleep in the coffin and hadn't come out.

otherwise……

Moran collected another batch of fish using the magic waterbed. These were common fish species in Emerald Creek Plain, and the Book of Cards could basically be used to make cards from them.

"Alright! We'll have a whole fish feast tonight!"
