Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

Fortunately, a soundproof barrier was set up, and after cutting for five minutes, it didn't affect anyone else.

After chopping, he put the ingredients into Ronan's pot one by one and stewed them in batches. This scene made Ronan squint and observe carefully.

"So, this step is what caused my meat to taste bitter?"

"I've learned something."

He nodded slightly, but just to be on the safe side, he still asked:

Do you know what kind of ingredients they are?

While stirring the ingredients in the pot with a wooden spoon, Senxi confidently answered:

"Of course I know, it's Mandrake, Miracle Fruit, March Grass, Phil Fruit, Earth Dragon Fruit..."

He rattled off the names of a bunch of ingredients as if they were his own, and then added, "Earthworm meat."

Earth dragons are unique monsters found only on the second level, and are little known because they are difficult to capture.

Senxi is different. He has lived here for decades and has been to almost every place except for the fourth floor and below. He has also eaten earthworms and naturally knows how to cook them.

Upon hearing this...

Ronan nodded in satisfaction.

He really is an expert.

……

After some time, the cooking was complete.

A rich aroma wafted over, and Ronan sniffed it. Even without tasting it, he could tell that the dish must taste delicious.

Senxi glanced at the distilled broth, added something else, and the original pale yellow color instantly turned transparent.

He carried the dishes and soup to the stone table together before indicating that everything was ready.

The dish is called "Stewed Earthworm Meat," which is quite simple, given the abundance of ingredients.

As for the broth... Senshi believed that after filtering, it had become a kind of fruit juice, suitable for monks to drink.

At this moment, the pervasive fragrance woke everyone from their sleep.

"what happened?"

Leos rubbed his sleepy eyes and groggily pushed open the door and walked out. Directly in front of him was Farin, who had just woken up and whose hair was a little messy.

Then they heard that a chef who could cook monster dishes had come to the camp.

"cook?"

Celia slowly walked over to Ronan.

She stretched and asked in confusion:

Is it reliable?

It's not like we're outside a maze... Meeting someone in such a vast place is an extremely rare occurrence.

Not to mention, it was a perfect match for his major, which solved Ronan's problem.

“It should be reliable,” Ronan explained. “According to him, he lives on the third floor.”

"Because too many adventurers have flooded in these past few days, I wanted to go out and check the situation, but I came here because I smelled something."

"Their cooking skills are quite good. I've already tested them. Give it a try."

Since Ronan has said so, Celia has no choice but to give it a try.

Lifting the lid, steam rises, revealing a bubbling white broth that looks similar to fish soup, but is quite light.

Celia nodded in satisfaction, and Ronan added from the side:

"I've memorized the recipe for this dish, so I can make it for Vulamei when I get back."

"By the way, Mori, do you know the best way to cook leek duck? Braised or stewed?"

"Fly onion duck?" Senxi was taken aback. He scratched his head. He could understand green onions and ducks, but what was a green onion duck?

After thinking for a moment, out of professional ethics, he did not rush to give an answer, but instead gestured for everyone to finish eating before talking.

At the same time, it was said:

"I have eaten many things, but there are also many things I have not eaten. If you don't mind, please let me follow you for the time being until we reach the third floor."

"The thing I like to do most in my life is to make sure that young people have enough to eat."

After saying that, he continued to ask,

"By the way, do you know what's happening outside?"

Chapter 153, A Living Picture: Recording the Little Joys of Life, Cooking Treasure Chest Monster

Later, with Ronan's explanation, Sensi learned the truth and realized that it was all a misunderstanding, which relieved him.

After washing up, everyone began to enjoy breakfast.

Ronan scooped up a spoonful of soup, and the rich aroma made him gasp in amazement.

This tastes truly outstanding; no wonder it's made by a culinary expert.

Overcooked mandrake has a texture similar to shrimp paste.

"Oh, right." Ronan remembered something important while eating.

While holding the bowl and chopsticks, he asked Senxi:

"You just said that you have a lot of experience in cooking monsters, right?"

"So, besides this stewed earthworm meat, how do you make other monster dishes? Can you tell me?"

In terms of daily life, he still has some shortcomings, which even with the Maze Food Guide, he cannot make up for them for the time being.

There was no record of earthworm meat, which almost ruined a pot of soup.

"Oh?" Senxi became interested immediately upon hearing Ronan's words.

He stroked his beard: "Are there still young people interested in monster cuisine these days?"

"Since that's the case, while you're eating, I'll explain it to you."

After saying that, Senxi found a relatively flat tree stump to sit on.

He cleared his throat and began to recount his experiences and the cooking methods for some of the foods.

Ronan listened quietly, and after Sensi finished speaking, he looked at Seria:

"I think we need a cook, what do you think?"

"There are dozens of ways to cook just one type of meat. In addition, there are some herbs that we don't know that can enhance the flavor of the dishes."

"These are not recorded in the 'Maze Food Guide'."

Leos, who was eating breakfast with his head down, suddenly looked up – the Maze Food Guide?

He also has this book, which he has read since childhood, although it is the original version.

He was just about to start a conversation with Ronan, because he found that he hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise since yesterday.

Before he could even speak, Celia interrupted him as usual:

"I have no objections, I'm just glad I can help you."

"Hey cook, are you interested in coming with us to the bottom of the maze?"

"Name your terms, as long as you're willing."

She actually hoped Senxi would offer something like money, because money was the last thing they needed.

Unfortunately…

Senxi hesitated for a few seconds, and although he felt the invitation was somewhat sudden, he still slowly spoke:

"At the very bottom... you wouldn't be thinking of conquering this maze, would you?"

"Let me make it clear beforehand that my combat skills are not outstanding. The only weapons I can use are an axe and an iron pot."

"If you were to confront that berserk mage, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to offer you any help."

Ronan, aware of Sensi's concerns, waved his hand dismissively:

"You're just a cook; you don't need to fight. All you need to do is cook the monsters you encounter and serve them to us."

"By the way, I also need your knowledge of monsters."

"Considering that knowledge is priceless, you can name your conditions, as long as I can meet them."

Special talents deserve special treatment, unlike those freeloaders like Marusil.

Meeting Senshi was probably their biggest gain on the second level of the maze.

……

A moment later, the warm sunlight gradually became stronger, and Senshi finally agreed to join Ronan's team.

Because he harbored a dream in his heart, which was to burn all the monster dishes in the world.

Ronan and his team's goals complemented his dream, which greatly appealed to him, so Sensi didn't intend to accept any reward.

However, Ronan didn't think so. Even if Sensi didn't want it, he couldn't refuse to give it to him. This was a way of showing that he valued Sensi.

He thought for a moment, then spoke:

"Let's set it at 3,000 G per day for now, and 5,000 G for a single piece of useful knowledge. That's ten times the income of an ordinary adventurer."

"You don't necessarily need money to live in a maze, but a maze can't exist forever."

"Make more money so that you won't end up homeless when you get out."

These words make perfect sense.

In fact, Senshi would occasionally leave the maze to buy some seasonings, so he quickly accepted the employment terms.

After breakfast, everyone packed their things and set off for the third floor.
