Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 136: Base area and hermit crab cooking

There we were greeted by a mysterious message. It seemed to be a description of the base area. Here's the summary.

Defeat the boss monster to release the base area.

You can get normal monsters and normal food around the base area.

The number of normal monsters and food around the base area is fixed.

You can log out in the base area.

Recover vitality and magic power just by being in the base area.

The base area is targeted by event monsters.

If more than the specified number of event monsters gather in the base area, the base area cannot be used.

When the base area is hijacked, event monsters will appear from the base area. Appearance speed increases with the passage of time.

If the base area is hijacked, the food around the base area will be poisoned. Releasing the base area does not cure it.

To release the base area again, it will be released by annihilating the event monsters in the base area.

This is...delightful, but terrible.

"Emm...could this event have been a defense event!?"

"I'm not so sure...there's no doubt you need to defend, but I think it's trying to say that after the ingredients are gone, you can let the event monsters take over and earn points"

"I, I see...you can certainly do that"

Chiffon is convinced, but if you can do that, it's certainly one of the moves you can make.

"The problem is that it doesn't say that the increased event monsters will stay only in the base area...if you go out of the area, the field will be full of event monsters and the other base areas will be in danger"

"So you can earn points with a lot of monsters, but the risk of dying again increases"

"In this kind of event, the downside of dying again would be quite high"

In that case, it's still better to protect it. The worst case scenario would be if the base area is taken and the other base areas are not liberated.

You'll be stuck with repeated battles and diminishing satiety.

"Emm. What should I do now?"

"Oh well...let's start by releasing information about this place and the base area. We can't defend it by ourselves"

"Right...let's send it to our friends"

"And the bulletin board...I'll take care of this. Takuto-kun, can you take care of the defense?"

I guess Im the right person for this job.

"I'm in charge"

"Wh, What should I do..."

"Chiffon, gather ingredients. You can kill normal monsters, right?"

"I, I'll be fine! ...Probably"

Probably?

"The ingredients will be fought over by the players. If you don't get them while you can, you'll be in big trouble"

That's true. I'm going to have to start gathering ingredients too, because I'm going to need more than the other players.

If that's the case, let's split up and gather them together.

"Summon Legion!"

I summon my summoned beasts. Chiffon and Tristan were speechless.

"Uwa~...what is this?"

"Defense, Takuto-kun, I have a feeling you'll be fine on your own"

No No, you're exaggerating. It's just impossible.

"Lily, Koihi. Go with Kotetsu and the others to kill the monsters around here and collect meat"

"I'm on it! Takuto!"

"I, I'll do my best...!"

The meat gathering team consists of Lily, Koihi, Kotetsu, Gale, Byakuya, Kitsuneko and Rex. This is a meat-loving team.

"Ion, Setia, you lead Konoha and the others in collecting apples and anything else that can be eaten"

"Yes!"

"I'm on it"

The apple gathering team consists of Ion, Setia, Konoha, Hiyori, Yuuga, Sabik, Aranea, Himari and Luna. I chose the ones I thought would be good at collecting apples. Yuuga will be the detector.

"Me, Gray, Chess, Kurogane, Loco Moco, Airy, Puyosuke and Route will be defending. Gray, you'll be on alert, okay?"

"Gau"

I think we'll be okay for now.

"I, I...what should I do..."

I've thought of everything.

"Chiffon, can you go with Lily and the others? Lily and the others can't dismantle"

"Eh? That would make me get the items?"

"Since the three of us will be sharing the food anyway, I thought we should be efficient"

The two girls were surprised.

"Eh!? Are you sure?"

"Is it the food that Takuto-lun collected?"

"Ah...there are so many summoned beasts, we'll have to get more food than we need"

"I'm sure that's true. Let's discuss and decide about food after we gather it"

"I, I guess so...ahaha"

I don't know why I feel like the two of them are pulling away.

Before that, I tell them the results of the dismantling of the Rock Hermit Crab. Then their reaction was terrible.

"So earth means dwarf girl is next"

"I, I vote for mole!"

Tristan-san, my magic stone summoning is not limited to sub races.

Chiffon, why did you choose a mole?

Tristan-san logged out. Chiffon headed for the forest with Lily and the others.

"I didn't do all that well in the boss fight, so I need to work harder"

Chiffon was fired up, but I had a bad feeling about this. Well, I've asked Lily and the others to protect her, so I'm sure she'll be fine.

I'm going to stay here and cook the hermit crab.

Why am I doing this? Because the others didn't have the cooking skill. I asked them why.

"...Because I'm combat-only"

Isn't it a matter of life and death if you don't have food for your troops even if you're combat-only? Tristan-san.

"I, I don't have it either...bu, but I do cook!"

What is Chiffon trying to show off? If you want to cook, why don't you get the skill?

So it seems I'm the only one who can cook, so I'm going to cook while I'm on the defense.

I heard that hermit crabs can be eaten, but I don't know anything about hermit crab cooking. I wonder if I can cook them the same way I cook crayfish, shrimp and crab.

I filled the pot with water from the lake. I appraise the water and it seems to be okay. I turn on the fire with magic.

The water in the pot boils and I try to boil the hermit crab. Here's what I got!

Boiled Hermit Crab: Rarity 4 Cooking Quality E

Effect: 45% fullness recovery

A dish made by boiling a hermit crab. It's a simple dish, but you can enjoy the taste of the ingredients the most.

The only effect is the recovery of satiety...that's not very good. Well, it's just boiled, so I guess it can't be helped. Now, let's break the shell and try it.

Ah, it's sweet! I mean, it's delicious!

...Thank you very much for the food. Hermit crab. I'm sorry I doubted you. You're delicious. Shrimp class. Maybe even better. Hermit crabs are to be feared.

Ji

That's when the stares from Gray and the others exploded.

"Ah...this is just a taste test, okay? We'll eat when everyone's here, okay?"

Jiji

Uh...the food was so delicious that I couldn't resist it, but it turned out to be my fault.

I'm afraid that Lily and the others will resent me if I feed only Gray and the others here. It's my first time eating this food, so I'm even more afraid.

I'll just have to keep my head down. But it's not enough to just boil them.

"Me~"

Loco Moco's voice reminded me! That's right. I have a way to get the ingredients!

Ibex Goat Milk: Rarity 4 Ingredient Item Quality D

This milk can be obtained from Ibex's milk collection. It has a thicker taste than normal goat milk.

I got cloud sheep's milk and Ibex's goat's milk.

And I'm going to do what I've always wanted to do!

Use fermentation on the cloud sheep's milk! Then the info comes on.

You can make cheese or yogurt. Please choose which you want to make

Sha! It looks like I can make cheese and yogurt! I chose cheese for now and the cheese was completed.

I did it! I'm going to appraise it.

Cloud Sheep Cheese: Rarity 4 Ingredient Item Quality D

A cheese obtained by fermenting sheep's milk. It is characterized by its strong saltiness.

It melts when heated and is delicious.

Pecorino is a very salty sheep's milk cheese. It has the same color.

Pecorino is a famous sheep's cheese from Italy. It is often used in salads, risotto and above all, pasta. Carbonara is excellent. I've just decided that if I could make pasta, I would definitely make it.

And if I can use it in salads, then of course I will eat it raw.

Oh my god. I want to eat it so badly. But...

JiJiJi

"I know...I'll be patient too"

Now that I've told Gray and the others, I can't just eat it here.

Everyone gathered and the hermit crab dish was a big hit. I just boiled them, but apparently Chiffon and Tristan are still in the first town and their staple food is boar meat. I'm sorry to hear that.

After the meal, we recovered our fullness. Then we discussed what we were going to do.

"What do we do after this?"

"For now, we'll gather ingredients..."

"Eh? I think we've collected quite a bit"

As Chiffon said, we have gathered more than enough to eat. The ingredients are a large amount of boar meat and apples. Setia brought cure leaf and astringent grass for harvesting.

Of course, medicine is necessary for survival. But you know...the taste flashes back to the past.

"For now, we just don't have to worry about starving to death. You know how you get points for giving food to the producers?"

"Ah!? That's right"

"Let's split up from here. We'll cooperate when it comes to defense"

Hmm? Why is that? Chiffon asks me.

"Eh? Can't we be together all the time?"

"If you rely on Takuto-kun and earn too many points, you'll be hit?"

"Uh...that's definitely scary"

Ah...that's what's going to happen...that's definitely scary. After that, we each had to gather the ingredients.
