The Master Of Elements

ME 23 In store

They had just finished ordering food when Matthew meborbardir John with various questions. “Grandfather John, why don't we just teleport. I mean you can do it, right? Not that by teleportation we are much faster getting to our destination?”

“Then, why should we follow the merchant caravan for our next trip. By joining them we will spend a lot of time on the journey.” Matthew said in a pretty quiet voice, afraid that the visitors at the other table would hear their conversation.

Matthew was curious about this. There was a practical way why they should bother to take a long trip like this. It will be a waste of their time and energy. Matthew didn't understand why John chose to travel this way.

They are hunted by time. They have to get to Artinco Academy, right? Then why do you have to linger on a trip like this?

“You are right. We would be much faster if we teleported. But by doing so we can be the center of attention. Those who were at the platinum level upwards could feel the fluctuations when one teleported.” Obviously John.

“So, we better travel in a normal way like this. By following the merchant caravan, we will slightly avoid the attention of others. Especially in the current time, where many teenage children are joining the merchant caravan to go to the big city. Only in big cities can we teleport.” Added John.

“So that's the reason. Well I understand it. Then grandfather John, does the merchant caravan always provide transportation services like that? Aren't they just going around buying and selling things from one place to another. Why do they also open transportation services such people?”

“What they have in mind is just money, so they just think how to get a lot of money by spending a little capital. You heard it wasn't, for the four of us to head to Greenwood City we need to pay four gold coins to them.”

“If we buy ourselves a train and a monster with Iron I level to pull the train, just like the monsters they use, we only need to spend two to three gold coins.”

“Means we're a big loss? Why don't we find ourselves a vehicle for our transportation. That's much more frugal isn't it?” ask Ellie curious.

“Of course not. That would be very troublesome. I can't control the carriage-pulling monsters, neither can you. Then we don't know the safe path to travel. Which is a threat not only the monsters but also the bandits.”

“Although I can clear all that, but it would be very troublesome if I had to keep stopping to clear the road. It will be more practical to follow the merchant caravan.”

The three's conversation came to a halt when they saw the waiter coming with a few plates of food. Not just one, there were three maids who walked up to them with four plates in each servant.

The waiters then placed the food they had brought on the table where the three were. The fragrant aroma of the food can be immediately smelled when the food is served. Thin smoke was seen coming out of the food in front of them, a sign that this food had just finished cooking.

“What is any other order Mr?” ask one of the servants while the other leaves.

“For the moment no. If I want to add an order, I will call you.” Said John without looking at the waiter.

His gaze focused on the food presented in front of him. The grilled meat with its fragrant aroma was more appealing to John than the waiter beside him. Jasper and Ellie are no different than John. Both prefer to focus their attention on the food.

“Thank you Big Brother gorgeous.” Matthew said thank you while giving his best smile to the waiter.

Matthew who saw the response of the two men had to take action. At least they should say thank you. Although this was the duty of those servants, but they had already done their duty well.

Not too big but the action means a lot. The three people who are similar to him prefer to focus their attention on food until they forget ethics.

“Sama-sama handsome.”

“We will continue our conversation later. Now it's time to eat.” Said John who began to pick up a plate of grilled meat regardless of the departure of the waiter.

Seeing this, Jasper and Ellie would not remain silent. The two grabbed a plate of grilled meat which they thought was larger in size than the others. Jasper then made a large cut of the grilled meat and devoured it without regard to the heat of the meal.

Meanwhile, Ellie, she remembers a little the ethics of eating. He cut the small pieces of grilled meat that he had already obtained. He blew the meat before eating it.

“Aww hot. Hemm…. But it's delicious. You're right Grandpa John, this meat is delicious. Hurry up Matthew you should try it. I think you'll like it. Quickly eat before you don't part.” After saying that, Jasper did not care about Matthew anymore. He focused on the food in front of him.

Jasper was determined to eat more than John. At least he'll take his revenge on John. With him eating more, doesn't that mean John eats less. This way that person would definitely feel furious. A very pleasant revenge for Jasper.

Meanwhile Matthew did not directly eat the grilled meat in front of him. He watched the cooking carefully. The food in front of him was more like a steak in the old Matthew world. Just a large piece of meat that was burned with not too much seasoning.

There was no additional sauce for the grilled meat in front of him. Neither did Matthew see the decoration to beautify the look of the grilled meat. It's just a meat that is burned and then served on a metal plate.

Very far from the food in the world where the food is served there is usually a little decoration to add to the aesthetic value of the food served.

Matthew made a small piece of grilled meat in front of him. He chewed it slowly. Trying to permeate the resulting flavor of grilled meat in this world. Tasty, pretty good. But according to Matthew this meat is burned too ripe.

There are many variations in the level of ripeness to make grilled meat. The maturity level is divided into five, namely rare, medium rare, medium, medium well and well done. Matthew prefers grilled meat with medium maturity. Not too ripe is not too raw, making the grilled meat more juicy.

Matthew did not see any of the twelve servings of grilled meat on their table that had a medium maturity level. Everything was at a well done level of maturity, and Matthew disliked it less. Although Matthew admits it tastes quite delicious, but this does not suit his taste.

If Matthew cooks it, he will also add sauces to add flavor. Perhaps if Matthew could find a similar or similar spice with some familiar seasoning, Matthew would buy it. Matthew can't wait to recreate the delicious food from his old world.

He wanted to show his two sisters the real delicious food. Maybe he should ask these traders. It's possible that they have some spice Matthew is looking for. Matthew put his plan aside. He now prefers to enjoy the food in front of him. I don't know why he feels so hungry right now.

Why now the portion of food is getting more and more days. Is it possible that he will have the element of space? This is one of the special signs of the owner of space elements, right? Have a larger portion of food than others.

It seemed like he was going to have his two younger siblings focus on practicing gathering space elements during their journey. If indeed in this way he is faster “bergeman” with space elements, then he can help his two sisters “bergeman” with other elements. In this way, are they not faster to master the other elements, right?
