The Origin of Arcane

It's so spicy, it's so spicy, it's like drinking a glass of high-strength rum, and it's almost burning from the throat to the stomach. Ms. Elena sucked in the cold air, and started eating again.

This time I learned how to be good, only dared to bite small mouthfuls, and sip cold boiled water from time to time, until finally the beautiful eyes were narrowed into a line, and there was a strange light shining inside.

She actually felt that the magical power in her body was about to move, and her vitality had increased a lot. This was by no means an illusion. She was already infinitely close to the control level, and she controlled her body and every power in her body meticulously.

In an instant, she understood the value contained in it, at least it was a real help for her to further control the power of spells, What is this thing? Is the output large?

This is made by grinding spicy berries. It was brought back by a young soldier who came back from the Swamp of Despair. The current output is average, but it is enough for the mother to eat. If you want to study it, you have to wait for three years. How much do you want? how many.

Sean threw a small packet of crimson powder to Ms. Elena, Use it as a flavoring agent, just put some in it before the soup is cooked, don't put too much, otherwise it will numb the tongue and greatly reduce the perception of other flavors.

This is the closest ingredient to chili that Sean has seen in this world, but it is not a vegetable, but a fruit that grows on trees.

The finished product resembles a large green walnut, but the edible core is not the kernel. It is bitter and numb. A little bit can make a person lose their sense of taste for two or three days. As for the possibility of being used as medicine, we will have to wait for research to know. Now they are all treated as seeds and collected like treasures.

Even the outer skin cannot be eaten directly, the taste is very intoxicating, and whoever eats it will know.

Anyway, Xiao En didn't want to try it a second time. As for stir-fried chili and other dishes, don't think about it. After drying in the shade, grinding it into powder is the most correct way to eat it.

As for the effect after pickling, we still need to wait for the spicy fruit trees we planted to grow up and have enough raw materials. As for organizing a large-scale manpower to go to the Swamp of Despair to pick them, Xiao En didn't even move this idea, otherwise the food wouldn't be spicy. Fruit, but human flesh and blood.

Xiao En was a true northerner in his previous life. In his life, chili was optional, he could eat some if he had it, and he didn’t want to if he didn’t have it, but his wife was a true southerner and a Sichuan hot girl. , mastering the food power of the whole guy, he can only follow the spicy food, and he will get used to it after eating.

Sean made people pay attention to similar ingredients, not purely to satisfy his appetite, but to think of the stimulating effect of pepper on blood vessels, which is the source of magic power.

The hard work paid off, and I really found similar ingredients. The content of capsaicin is comparable to the top pepper in the previous life, and the effect is also unexpected. I can clearly feel the stimulation of capsaicin on the blood and blood vessels.

As for whether this kind of stimulation can strengthen the blood vessels, it remains to be studied. Sean is not going to do this work by himself. I will leave it to Ms. Elena, who has more experience and a strong scientific research spirit. Maybe I will see you sooner. When the results are reached, it will be enough to eat ready-made at that time.

Maybe it's because he has stronger control over his body and is more sensitive to the changes caused by capsaicin in his body. In this life, his love for spicy food has increased significantly. Since he got spicy fruit powder, he has never broken his bowl.

As for the foodies who were staring at him, they were ignored by Sean, and there was nothing they didn't like. In their mouths, spicy fruit powder was just a condiment, and the quantity was not so extravagant.

It's another three years! Ms. Elena was very disappointed. Once Xiao En spoke, he basically couldn't run away. He could only wait for three years honestly. He turned his beautiful eyes and spread his hands, Bring it.

What are you doing?

Don't tell me you didn't keep any private affairs, give them all to me, I have other uses.

And that's all.

That's all? Even my old lady dared to lie, so bring them all to me. You are now in a period of rapid growth, and you don't need to rely on this kind of external force. If you want to use it yourself, after three years, bring it all to me.

You always leave something to satisfy your hunger!

Exhaustion, you are ashamed to say it, waste everything, let alone keep it in your hands, take it all.

This time it's really gone.

Really gone?

No more.

Just trust you once. Ms. Elena is like a female bandit who robbed all of Sean's reserved private affairs, and Sean wanted to cry without tears.

Ms. Elena's eyes rolled, No, I was almost fooled by you, Ralph, I think you are the most cunning kid, you want to run away after wiping your mouth after eating, tell me your opinion.

Ralph, who failed to escape, said shamelessly: Madam misunderstood, I don't think Madam likes this kind of spicy fruit powder, I went to those bastards to see, they might have private work in their hands, they have to come out, Save the waste in their hands.

Stop making jokes, things that Sean likes, they still have private affairs! Ms. Elena glared at Ralph viciously, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I haven't seen any progress in other things. The level of sycophancy is really high. If it continues to develop, it will become a villainous face sooner or later, if it leads to Xiao En, be careful, I will kill you directly.

Who will spoil who is still unknown. When it comes to sycophants, I am at the entry level at most, and your son is the real master level. He almost coaxed you to the north without seeing a mutated fruit.

Ralph complained wildly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest trace on his face. To speak ill of her son in front of an unreasonable mother who protects the calf is purely trying to die.

Ralph showed off his excellent face-changing skills, and his face was so bitter that it was about to drip juice, I don't have any talent in this area, I'm just suitable for running errands, and by the way, asking for some news that everyone knows.

Oh, when did you become so humble? The city defense map of Bastille has become known to passers-by! Old Bolton really went back more and more. Ms. Elena shook her fist and said, If you continue to make these gimmicks for me, believe it or not, your mother won't recognize you when you beat me up.

If my old lady was still alive, she would not have recognized me long ago!

What?

Nothing, nothing.

Ralph's smile was as flattering as it could be.

In the big picture, I'm sure I can't provide much help, but I'm good at sneaky things. Recently, I've selected suitable personnel from the Boys' Army and Reserves to form an intelligence department, which is responsible for the collection and transmission of intelligence. Well, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy wins every battle, there are many people who know yourself, so I will do the work of knowing your enemy.”

A little clever. Compared to Marshall's long talk, Ms. Elena became very interested in Ralph's ingenious ideas, Tell me about your specific ideas.

This is not my idea, but inspired by Don.

Ralph, who was praised, not only didn't get any favors, but his face was full of distress.

It's just that there are too few suitable people. There are six or seven thousand people. Up to now, I have only selected a dozen or so that are still satisfactory. And if I want to do well, I can't do without financial support.

That's because your heart is too big, and you want to reach the sky in one step.

Sean said with a smile.

The vision is also a bit high. You can't expect everyone to be like you, who will make out the defense map of a castle without anyone noticing. Natural intelligence personnel are scarce resources after all. Self-cultivation is the formal way. We are now It is still too far away to talk about the intelligence organization. There are more than a dozen people, first put up the shelf, and then cooperate with the outpost for a short time. Maybe there will be good seedlings.

The group of guys whose spines were broken?

Although Ralph did not show obvious contempt, the contempt was self-evident.

This kind of mentality is not serious when the number of the Boys' Army is relatively small. After all, the number of the Boys' Army is too small, and they must rely on other people to do things. Back then, they led the affiliated engineers to remake thousands of infantry armor in just one week. A more harmonious cooperation.

However, with the increase in the number of Boys' Army and the large number of Boys' Army reserves they brought, the relationship is far less harmonious than before. After all, there is a huge difference in the concepts of the two sides. In the eyes of the Boys' Army, they are equated with stupidity. A lot of effort was put into training them, which was far less smooth than the reservists of the Boys' Army who had been trained since childhood.

Xiao En's brows were frowned into a pimple. He had already noticed the signs in the Boys' Army, and was trying to correct this distorted thinking, but he didn't expect it to become so serious.

As one of the core figures of the Boys' Army, Ralph had the idea of ​​how bad the situation outside was. Sean stopped what he was doing and said very seriously.

Don't underestimate anyone. Those who were born in a humble life don't mean they will be humble all their lives; being stupid now doesn't mean they won't be smart in the future; being down now doesn't mean they'll be down forever.

Among them, there may be someone who is more suitable for this job than you, but you have never given him a chance. If you want to do great things, you must have the mind to do great things, no matter what race, background, or knowledge the other party is. , as long as you are willing to join our group, you are all your own people, and we all treat you equally.

Are you really counting on the so-called Boys' Army and Boys' Reserves to succeed? How many people can they add up? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand?

Even if there are 100,000 people, according to one mile, can they cover the Andis Mountain? What a joke, you still want to do big things all day long, and you don't even have the mind to accommodate people. Even if you occupy the mountain To be a king, at best, is a group of grass-headed bandits, and they will flop around on one-third of an acre of land, and they will not be able to become a flood dragon that spreads rain.

From now on, I don't want to hear the term Boys' Army anymore. They will all be mixed and reorganized, and their military ranks will be determined, and they will be called regular military ranks.

It was originally just an ordinary school exam, but after Xiao En uttered heavy words, the nature changed completely, and the adaptation of the Boys' Army was put on the agenda.

Ms. Elena didn't feel displeased at all about this, she just played the side drum for her son and poured cold water on her son, although she didn't directly ask Sean.

But judging from the answers of Marshall and Ralph, they looked at the problem quite rationally, and they were not dazzled by the concept of victory and the young man's aggressiveness. For the closest person, many things must have influenced each other.

As for Skull Crusher McGee, Ms. Elena has already completely ignored her, and she didn't expect to hear a satisfactory answer from him at all.
