Chapter 19
Hunter Pov:
I wake up in unfamiliar surroundings wondering what happened. Then I remember, we left to get Jake Basilisk Antivenom and I am currently in a tent. I look over to see Henry and then Theo still sleeping and on my other side, the unconscious Jake.
I get up and dressed for the day grabbing my gear and heading out. Outside I see the Knights getting ready for the day and one of them comes over and asks. "So what was the meat we had last night?,"
"Well, me and Emma told Theo, Henry, and Hannah last night. That was the reason for the screams," I say first to which the knight looks embarrassed. "What is it?!," I ask in a menacing way wondering what that look is for.
Before he can answer the knight commander comes over and says. "When he heard screams he ran to the girls tent to see why. When he did Sunny tackled him stopping him from seeing right before he entered. Don't worry your sisters dignity was kept intact. The girl covered up since she was changing and he left. Your sister was not changing. So he is currently on probation for the time being, now what was the meat we had yesterday?," The commander asks.
"Oh, right, it was Dried Hades Serpent meat. We tend to have it a lot in the glacier when we were living there. The reason being is they look a lot alike Giant snakes there," I say making them get stunned.
"That was Hades Serpent meat?!," Everyone yells.
"Yes, do you guys not ever have snake meat or is that something new?," I ask curious as Theo and Henry had not told me anything about it.
"Well, the Giant snake meat does not taste good and Basilisk meat is poisonous. So in the end it was decided that hades serpent meat was un-edible, Probably having both properties. The only crazy thing was that no-one tried it, probably out of fear," The commander says.
"Got it," I say going to prepare breakfast. I call Halfdan over, Halfdan is a special slime, Not only does he have an incredible size, but he has magic. Checking him out I noticed that he had space magic which is even harder for animals to obtain. But then I remembered that slime can fit through anything and combine.
In that sense I realized he had the skill to use his body as an Item box. When ever he absorbs something instead of eating it there are a few options. One, it will go into the item box, two it will cleanse it, or three it will purify it. Now it also has other abilities like making healing potions, sadly they don't work on poison yet. Now I am getting distracted, I should get to cooking.
"Halfdan, can you give me my cooking box?," I ask to which he nods before moving as a box appears where he was. I open it as the knights watch on in fascination, Admiration, and wonder. The reason it was in a box was to stop contaminates from getting in.
Inside I have cooking supplies and tools. I grab flour, baking powder, white sugar, salt, milk, butter, eggs, oil, Syrup, pan, a giant mixing bowl, a small bowl, and 50 plates. Now his Item box also stops the time and keeps the temperature the same of items inside it. Now some of these ingredients we got from Rider who gave them to us. Sadly we have yet to figure out the recipe to make them.
The plates are for the knight's and the pets. If this was a normal recipe for just eight people or less I would take 1 1/2 cup flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons Bp, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt or more to taste, 1 1/4 cups milk, 3 tablespoons butter, and a egg. But this is for around 48 people so I will be making this recipe ten-fold.
15c flour, 35tsp Bp, 10tbsp sugar, 2 1/2tsp or more to taste, 12 1/2c milk, 30tbsp butter, and 10 eggs. First thing I do is mix up all dry ingredients by sifting, I have Halfdan rock it back and fourth due to the size. Next I make a well in the center, this can be done by using any clean, and food safe object, like a measuring cup. I Melt the butter using the small bowl until completely melted. Then I crack the eggs and put them in the well, then I add the milk and butter. After that I mix it until it is completely smooth.
The next step I take is I put oil on the pan and heat it up at around 375-400 F. (Medium High). I scoop the batter onto the pan using a 1/4th measuring cup. I cook until bubbles form and edges are dry or about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, then I repeat with the remaining batter. For someone else they would probably repeat this seven times, but I am repeating it 79 times. Why do I do this to myself?
Narrator Pov:
After he completed the whopping pile of pancakes he gave everyone, one. Note that, that is an actual recipe, not made up, so you can make that if you want to. Now we are getting off topic so back to the story.
Everyone enjoyed the pancakes and thanked him for them. The nobles were also impressed as they had not had this before. So Theo asked Hunter. "Is this recipe from your home town?,"
"No, it was shown to me by mother, it is a family recipe. Other than me, I am pretty sure no-one else knows it," Hunter responded truthfully, now it was shown to him by his mother, but she never saw this world. But if she never saw this world then how did she show him?
For the next few days they travel over the mountainous terrain. But as they were arriving within sight of the hot-springs they saw monsters running around it. What happened over the weeks that they were gone?
