Looking at Sethe's bright, round, big eyes, Cecilia's heart was adorable.
It was so adorable that it was a crime!
How can I say no to this?
The staff in Cecilia's hand was raised, the blue spell-casting ring quickly condensed at the top of the staff, the staff was slightly waved, and a ball of flame directly landed on a pile of firewood.
The dry firewood instantly burst into flames.
Seeing the firewood burning, Sethe sat down on his butt, picked up a wooden skewer, and skewered two bear paws on it to start roasting the meat.
Cecilia felt a strange feeling in her heart as she looked at the figure sitting in front of the fire and roasting the bear's paws.
At this moment Sethe didn't look like a lizard demonic beast in any way, instead, it looked like an intelligent species.
After all, all proper lizards liked to lie down.
And looking at Sethe's proficiency in this sitting position, she felt sure that it wasn't the first time.
[ZiZi~]
As time passed, the roasted bear paw began to become charred and bubbling with oil, and a roasted meat fragrance filled the air.
At this time, a small white hand handed over a small bottle.
Sethe looked towards Cecilia who handed over the bottle.
"It's spices."
Spices?
Sethe's eyes lit up, although this roasted bear paw already smelled good, it would smell even better if it had spices.
Reaching out with her paw, she took the spices and poured them onto the bear paws one by one.
The smell of meat in the air suddenly became even more intense.
"Alright, it's almost done, no more roasting and it'll be burnt oh."
After roasting for a while longer, Cecilia, who was sitting next to her, suddenly spoke.
Hearing Cecilia's words, Sethe glanced at the two roasted bear paws, they already looked charred on the outside and tender on the inside, just now when he handled them he made a few cuts on the bear paws, so these bear paws were roasted very quickly.
Two bear paws, Sethe handed one to Cecilia next to him.
"For me?"
Sethe nodded.
Receiving confirmation, Cecilia smiled and took the leaning bear's paw.
Two bear paws, one for each person, maybe it was delicious, but the two bear paws were quickly wiped out.
Having eaten and drank enough, Sethe gazed at the delicate little backpack placed beside the young girl next to her.
Noticing what Sethe was looking at, Cecilia opened her mouth to explain.
"This ah I came to the forest today to look for some magic plants, the materials at home are already insufficient."
Sethe stretched her claws and pointed at the back basket before pointing at herself.
No words were spoken, but Cecilia seemed like she was just able to prepare to understand.
"Sethe going to help me?"
Sethe nodded.
The young girl in front of him had already helped him so much, and he had to return the favor to this young girl before he could do so.
"So."
Cecilia stood up from the ground and at the same time put the basket on her back.
"Then Sethe you come with me."
"Aang~"
Responding, Sethe followed in the footsteps of Cecilia who was walking ahead.
After a few minutes of walking along the road, Cecilia in front stopped under a large tree.
Under the large tree grew a small pile of emerald green plants with a single leaf that didn't match the root hanging from the emerald green rhizome.
"This one is what I'm looking for."
Hearing Cecilia's words, Sethe looked at the plant in front of Cecilia.
It looked unique and recognizable as well.
Taking out a pair of scissors from the basket, while starting to pick it, Cecilia explained it to Sethe.
"Its name is Mori Essence, it is a branch spawned by these large trees in the forest, its effect is healing, and even if it's not refined by alchemy it can still have some medicinal effect."
"There's also the fact that you have to be careful when picking it that you can only cut it from the middle of the rhizome so that these trees will continue to grow branches."
"If plucked directly, these trees won't grow branches again for a long time."
Sethe nodded, then got down on the ground and started helping with two little paws.
"Well, that's just how you cut it in the middle."
"Aang~"
Responding, Sethe pointed to other trees, then several in a row.
He was a bit curious as to why all the trees in the forest, looked like they all looked the same, how come there was only one big tree under which this green plant with the name Mori Goblin grew?
"This one."
A smile appeared on Cecilia's face, gentle and beautiful.
"Sethe you don't look at the forest as a big one there are no more than ten trees in total inside this forest ah."
"Aang?"
Sethe was a bit confused.
"You know Sethe, this kind of Mori Spirit is these trees when it grows up, but they can't grow up."
"Anon?"
"Because moringa needs sunlight to grow ah."
Sethe accompanied Cecilia to stroll around the forest before Cecilia left.
Looking at Cecilia's back as she left, Sethe looked at the book in his paw.
It was what Cecilia had left for him.
It was a forest magic plant identification book, a pattern book that he could read even if he didn't recognize words.
The colors on the borders of the pages represented the potency of the plants on the page.
Sethe watched Cecilia walk away.
He always felt that Cecilia's appearance today didn't seem to be a coincidence, after following Cecilia around, he directly understood this forest area.
Because all the way Cecilia had been talking non-stop.
What place has dangerous magical beasts, and what place does not?
All of them were pointed out to him one by one.
It seemed like he owed her even more favors!
Looking at the back that was completely walking away, Sethe withdrew his gaze.
After returning to the cabin and putting the book away, Sethe walked to the bear's corpse under the tree root.
The bear carcass was sprinkled with a layer of spices that had just been used for roasting the meat, and this spice did not know what it was made of, the scent was very overbearing, and the air basically could not smell any blood odor.
Only by getting close to the bear's corpse could one smell a little bit of blood.
Well, next it's time to deal with this big guy.
Strip the bear skin out and clean and then stand up to start drying, and then all the meat pieces broken down and hung up to smoke.
By the time all this was done it was late at night.
Sethe dragged his tired body and climbed back to the tree house.
[Strengthening Body]
The three golden wires began to disappear into his body, Sethe didn't care anymore, he was tired and had already closed his eyes.
After waking up the next day, Sethe poked his head out of the treehouse and took a look at the smoky shed below, there was still a faint gray smoke rising however it was very small.
It had been burning all night it should be almost out.
Getting down along the roots of the tree.
Adding a pile of raw wood to the smokehouse and taking a piece of smoked bear meat, Sethe returned to the cabin.
There was still plenty of bear meat left, and with the harvest of fish traps in the stream, he hadn't had to worry about food for a long time.
Anyway, there was plenty of food, Sethe prepared to take a good look at the magic plant identification book Cecilia had left for him.
Trying to memorize the contents of it.
The contents of this book were of great use to him.
By identifying all the magic plants, he would know in the future which ones in the forest could move and which ones could not.
Returning to the treehouse, he ate the bear meat in three or two bites.
Then, opening the door of the tree house, holding the book, and lying down at the door, Sethe turned the first page of the book.
