Otherworldly recipes

Katrin sat in her seat, she lowered her eyes to look at the clean and tidy desktop, which was so clean that it could reflect Katrin's face, her appearance was always different from ordinary people's exquisiteness, it's a pity that it was only the owner of this face, His brows were always furrowed unconsciously, making melancholy cloud over his brows.

If Lin Huaimeng was here, she would definitely ask about the current situation, but Ms. Lin is not there, and Ai Wen does not have the ability to be considerate. Even if she sees this, she will never ask. This is also because the two people have completely different ways of doing things. Performance.

Katrin just simply fell into her own thoughts, worried and at the same time silent.

Not seeing Ms. Lin today made her a little uncomfortable. Of course, it has been a long time since the last time I visited the small restaurant and I didn’t come again. This is not because I don’t want to come, but because too many things have happened recently. Some.

These things accumulated together, so much that as the patriarch himself, he felt tired.

"I tried to brew it, and the owner said that the fruit tea is delicious."

Aiwen's voice came from the top of her head, which interrupted Katlin's thoughts. She belatedly showed a friendly smile to Aiwen. cruising in the air.

The sprouts in the kettle spread out the purple-red leaves, which are fried into small tea rolls, and then burst into bloom after being soaked in hot water, like budding flowers blooming in the water.

"Thank you."

Katrin poured out a cup of bright red tea, the flesh of the passion fruit floated in the water, the aroma of the hot fruit overflowed, and the water from the sprouts had a special sweetness.

This sweetness is not like the sweetness of sugar dissolved in water, but the sweetness of plant leaves. The very light sweetness will linger on the tip of the tongue. The entrance of hot fruit tea will always make people feel a wonderful The warmth echoes.

She exhaled, and the tiredness all over her body was slightly dissolved in a glass of warm water. Katrin glanced at Ivan on the side, and she asked, "Did you just come?"

Ai Wen nodded, but did not continue the topic. Katrin tapped the cup wall lightly with her fingers, and it was rare for her to calm down. She should have wanted to communicate with Lin Huaimeng about the sacrifice, but the shop owner was not there. , everything seemed aimless.

The failure of the tree of life previously caused a rare blizzard, and Katrin spent a lot of time on the post-disaster reconstruction work. The tree of life declined due to the ant-man, and now that the source of evil has been eliminated, it is gradually recovering.

Lord Priestess made a rare exit this time, she was bathed in the thick night, looked up at the tall tree of life and remained silent.

Until the sunrise sun poured into her pupils, coating her pupils with a layer of bright light, she put her hands together piously, her lips touched her fingertips, and said in front of all the people that she would pray in front of the tree of life for the last time to receive the blessings from the sun. Goddess' will.

Priests never appear in front of the tribe easily. They are the listeners selected by the goddess themselves, and their destiny in the future has been determined since birth.

The elves live long but also age, but they don't grow so fast in the endless years, but no one has ever seen the aging priests. Their final destination has always been a mystery. Perhaps only the previous priests can know their final destination. home.

These sacrifices that will only appear when the goddess' will is about to be issued have different meanings for each tribe, but it is a pity that the sun goddess has not appeared again for a long time.

When the priest Aslia suddenly asked to pray this time, the clansmen were very surprised. They were not only surprised by the appearance of the priest, but even more surprised by the so-called last time in her mouth.

As soon as this sentence was uttered, the clansmen began to talk about it. Katrin knew that the tree of life had already made many people panic. It is really not good to have confusion again at this time.

"Sacrificing adults!"

Katrin stopped Asliya at that time, she wanted to ask the original meaning of the sentence, but Asliya turned around with a smile, she bent down towards the patriarch, with her hands on her chest, every gesture They are all so decent.

"Katelyn, I have something to tell you."

Eslia's voice was very pleasant, like a lark in the forest. She said this softly, and then straightened the crown on her head for Katrin. The Elf Queen was witnessed by her growing up and being crowned On that day, the priest personally put it on for the new queen.

Katrin followed the priests into the tree house. The tree house was suspended from a high place. From here, you can look down on everything around you. The sun appeared in the sky, and the light spread on the ground, making everything warm.

"Katrin, I'll be leaving when I say my last prayers."

"Where are you going?"

Asilia smiled, and she came out with a cup of hot water, which contained the purple sprouts. The person who first thought of making the sprout tea was Master Sacrifice. She picked these sprouts every year and dried them With frying, it has become a drink that the public loves now.

"I want to return to the embrace of the goddess."

Katrin was stunned by this answer, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions. Asilia's eyes showed tenderness and determination. This was the first time she realized what kind of burden was on the shoulders of the great priest. Fate, at the end of fate, there is no room for them to choose.

"I used to resist becoming a priest, but there is no way. I was born to listen to the goddess. I know that it is disrespectful for me to say that, but I still yearn for the freedom of the outside world. In the cage."

"As soon as tomorrow is over, I can leave all this completely."

Ashlia asked, "Besides here, have you been anywhere else?"

Katrin was born in the land of elves, and has been living in this land. She has never thought of leaving. The clan is all her responsibility. Originally, she should have never been to any place, but she has been to another place. The place, the restaurant in a different time and space, let her see different scenery.

"I have been to a magical place, where the priests should have been too."

Asilia's eyes lit up for a moment because of these words, she held the water glass and lowered her head, her appearance was reflected in the water, a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth inadvertently, she had been to that restaurant, but It is a memory of many years.

At that time, the owner of the store was a young woman. She always talked about her family's short stories, seriously discussed with herself what kind of clothes were beautiful, and about the diet of elves, and said a lot of disrespectful words. The last time she entered the store At that time, she said that she was pregnant and had a new life in her stomach. Aslia was surprised by the life born in her stomach. Elves were born from the tree of life and had never been conceived like this.

"Elf, can you name my child?"

Ashlia blinked, "You really want me to name it?"

The shopkeeper nodded quickly, and she held the other's hand eagerly, making the elf startled by the sudden enthusiasm.

Asliya stumbled and said, "What are you going to do!"

"You are a priest, right? The name must be very powerful."

There was a rare panic on Aislia's face. She had never met such a person who would hold on tightly to the priest of the elves. She looked at the woman in front of her, and her eyes could not help falling on her stomach. Is new life really growing in a flat belly?

All life comes from the gift of the goddess, the great goddess of the sun, please keep this child safe.

"Chen Yun, let's call him Chen Yun."

Since then, she has never seen that portal appear again. She doesn't know if little Chen Yun was born smoothly. It was also from that day on that the only door connecting Asilia to the outside world was completely closed. Chained to a tower, waiting for death to come.

After taking a deep breath, Aslia said slowly: "Katrin, I am very afraid of the known fate. For us elves, the tree of life binds everything we have, and everything we abide by and insist on, after all What is it for?"

"We have never seen the scenery of the outside world. One day the world will abandon us. If it is our peace here, then I wonder if the peace will be broken one day. If the tree of life really withers, the elves Where should I go?"

Katrin shook her head, "Master Sacrifice, we are with the Tree of Life."

Asilia smiled helplessly, and she took out a cloth bag from the room, which was filled with the sprouts that were just picked this year. It was tea made by herself, and every step was told by the shop owner who restored it Content, she drank early spring tea, the tea was sweet and fresh, and this new bud was just a substitute.

Instead of that incredible time.

"Here, let the shopkeeper taste it, I guess she will like it very much."

Katrin took it, and she confirmed, "Are you going to give it to Miss Lin?"

Asilia was stunned when she heard this Miss Lin, her voice became a little sentimental the next moment, but she still maintained a smile, "Have you changed people now? But yes, human life span is not so long, time It went by so fast."

When the last prayer began, a new little life was born from the tree of life.

Asilia caught the newborn who fell from the sky with her open hands. Looking at this lovely child, she announced to the crowd the successor of the next sacrificial priest. As the clansman cheered, Asilia bowed her head Come and put your forehead against each other and say, "I'm sorry, but we need you."

When the carnival began, the priest who left at night disappeared from everyone's sight. The new little priest was given a lofty mission, but such a mission was placed on an infant baby. Katrin also saw After this little priest, the other party can't even speak, so he will be called a great priest.

Asilia disappeared, and this incident did not cause any waves. Only the queen knew that she would not come back again. She returned to that endless cage like every priest in the past.

Are you really free?Katrin had never thought about this question before, but at this moment she was suddenly troubled by this question.

She wanted to come to the shopkeeper for answers, but Lin Huaimeng was not there.

Or this absence has already answered her doubts, and it is meaningless to struggle with this problem by herself. Compared with freedom, she still has responsibilities on her shoulders.
