The human settlement closest to the Fairy Forest was called Forest Town. Most of the people here were remnants of the Empire. It was originally just an inconspicuous small village.
Because it was adjacent to the Fairy Forest, it was often used as a transit and supply station by adventurers. Over time, it formed a small town.
Forest Town did not have a town hall and was a highly autonomous place.
The arrival of the adventurers made the indigenous people start to run restaurants and inns for a living. The two sides maintained a delicate balance.
"Alice, wake up, we're here." Lafame patted the sleeping Alice.
Alice rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked out the window. The sun was setting in the west, and the orange sunset reflected in Forest Town, reminding Alice of her hometown.
"We're finally here." Alice held Little Black and got off the Reid beast carriage. She and Lafame were the last adventurers to get off the carriage.
"Huh?
I haven't been here for a year. Forest Town actually opened a Reid beast station to the Tauren tribe?
It's a pity that the number of trains is too little, only once a month. "
"You should be content. The harpy tribe hasn't opened yet. I guess I won't be able to wait for a lifetime."
"You can fly. Why do you need a Reid beast carriage?"
"Fly?
It's tiring! "
The harpy adventurer waved his wings and dropped a few feathers. "Look, it's shedding again. The harpy tribe has to fly hundreds of kilometers to the human kingdom to reach the Reid beast station."
"Bald eagle."
"Say that again?"
"Bald, bald, bald …"
…
"Let's find an inn to rest for the night. The Fairy Forest is too dangerous at night." Lafame glanced at Alice.
Alice nodded and followed behind Lafame. Little Black shook in her arms for a while. It was estimated that he would wake up soon.
The last thing in Forest Town was food and shelter. Lafame and Alice found an inn with forest characteristics. The owner was a very kind old lady.
"You haven't had dinner yet, right?
There's a barbecue in the forest bar today. You can go, but don't come back too late. "
After Lafame and Alice put away their things, the boss didn't forget to remind them.
"A barbecue event?" Lafame's eyes lit up. "I haven't had barbecue in a long time. Hooray!"
Pa!
Alice patted Lafame's head. "You have to lose weight, Lafame."
"Just a little!"
At this time, Little Black who was in Alice's arms suddenly woke up and jumped to the ground.
"This Demon King has been revived!"
Blackie looked around and said, "I heard someone talking about barbecue.
This Demon King is hungry. Alice, quickly bring this Demon King to eat barbecue. "
Alice said helplessly, "Little Black, you glutton. You woke up when you heard food."
"Hmph, what does a brat like you know?"
Xiao Hei shot a glance at Alice. If it wasn't for your broken staff, this Demon King wouldn't be so tired.
"Then let's eat barbecue."
Alice said, "But Little Black, you have to find the white feathered cat in the Fairy Forest tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll tell Big Brother Kyle that you bullied me!"
Little Black trembled, but his expression remained arrogant. "Tsk, this Demon King will definitely do what he promised."
Little Black was actually very weak. Because of the anti-magic array, he couldn't use his full strength. He also couldn't use Hellkill's Black Flame for a short period of time.
Even if he borrowed so many magic cores from Sarah, Little Black's combat power wouldn't exceed Level 2.
This Fairy Forest was full of danger. If it wasn't for Kyle threatening him …
Kyle: Little Black, have you heard of the Northern Barbarian Tribe of the Chaos Kingdom?
This Demon King: What Northern Barbarian Tribe?
Never heard of it. This Demon King has destroyed more than one or two tribes.
Kyle: It's said that the people of the Northern Barbarian Tribe are natural chefs, especially when it comes to cooking dog meat. According to the 'Notes of the Chaos Kingdom: Legends of the Northern Barbarian Tribe', the Northern Barbarian Tribe consumes a large amount of dog meat in a year. It even caused the Northern Barbarian Wild Dog Forest's canine magical beasts to be on the verge of extinction.
This Demon King: What do you mean?
Kyle: Nothing. Recently, I found a cooking manual of the Northern Barbarian Tribe and wanted to ask you to try it. You like steaming, braising … I heard that dog meat stew is quite delicious.
This Demon King: Stop!
You demon!
You're threatening this Demon King!
Kyle: I'm discussing cooking with you.
This Demon King: What do you want?
Kyle: So the matter of the Fairy Forest is settled?
This Demon King: Hmph, this Demon King agrees.
Finally, under Kyle's careful persuasion, Little Black also came to the Fairy Forest. He didn't know why, but when he heard about the barbecue activity, Little Black felt a toothache.
"Xiao Hei, can you keep your saliva in your mouth?
It's almost on the ground. "
Hearing Alice's voice, Little Black quickly stopped drooling. "This Demon King is hungry. Alice, hurry up and find me something to eat. Otherwise, this Demon King won't have the strength to look for the white feathered cat."
"I'm not as anxious as you. The Forest Bar is just in front." Lafame shook his head. "By the way, Little Black, do you eat barbecued dog meat?"
Little Black was stunned for a moment. The image of Kyle holding a knife and fork appeared in his mind. This demon kept muttering: Steaming, braising, dog meat stew …
Little Black shuddered and stared fiercely at Lafame. "Little Fatty, I advise you to be kind. Dogs are human's friends. How can you eat dog meat?
Wouldn't that be the same as the Northern Barbarian Tribe? "
Lafame shrugged. "The Northern Barbarian Tribe's culinary skills are barely passable. The main problem is the ingredients. The Fairy Forest has a special canine-type magical beast. Its meat is plump and delicious. Forest Town has people who specialize in rearing these magical beasts."
"This Demon King won't eat it!" Little Black angrily shook his head and decided to ignore Lafame.
Alice picked up Little Black and stroked his head. "Alright, Lafame, stop teasing Little Black. Be careful that he doesn't bite you."
As night fell, the Forest Bar became the most lively place in the entire Forest Town. The aroma of barbecued meat could be smelled from afar.
After finding a table to sit down, Alice saw several familiar figures. The adventurers who were in the same carriage as them were basically all here.
The four adventurers of the Vanguard Adventurer Team were sitting in the corner, talking and laughing as they ate meat and drank wine.
"Barbecue Festival once a month. Barbecue is free!"
"One gold coin per person. Barbecue is free. Drinks are extra!"
"Forest Dog meat is available this month. Limited supply. First come, first serve!"
The Forest Bar was filled with all kinds of posters. The beautiful waitresses were also dressed very provocatively. The atmosphere was very lively.
After Lafame paid the entrance fee, he rushed directly to the barbecue area and put several large plates of barbecued meat on the table.
"Little Black, try it. You also paid a gold coin!"
Little Black found a golden skewer of barbecued meat and stuffed it into his mouth suspiciously.
"Damn!"
Little Black finished a skewer of barbecued meat quickly. "Give me a few more. This meat smells so good!"
"I told you, this specialty is really good."
Little Black put his paw on a skewer of barbecued meat and immediately reacted. "You mean …"
"What you just ate is a specialty of the Fairy Forest. It's barbecued with the authentic Forest Town method. It's forest dog meat."
Little Black silently looked at Lafame. "You said this is … dog meat?"
"Yes, it's raised by the natives here. It's guaranteed to be safe. Is there a problem?"
Little Black picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and stuffed it into his mouth. "No … Oh, no problem!
It's really … Oh, it smells so good! "
"Uh …" Lafame scratched his head. "I lied to you. This is actually ordinary fluffy rabbit meat."
Little Black was stunned again. "But …"
"Is there a problem?"
"Bunny is so cute …"
"Eat more if it's cute."
"Okay!"
