Next, pour the milk into the batter and boil over a low flame and keep mixing it all up until it reaches the consistency of the white roux.
On a side note, you should be able to make clam chowder and cream croquettes that way as well. If only we had a functioning oven here, then maybe I could also make gratin.
Put the resulting white roux and vegetables in a pan and boil all of the ingredients together. Finally, I tasted it and seasoned it with salt and pepper.
Its a success, as far as I am concerned.
Roxanne also ate it with a huge smile of delight on her face.
Mashter, thish ish sho yummy!
Maybe I should tell her that she should not be saying things like that while shes having her mouth full of white, sticky substances?
Mino charges towards Roxanne and thrusts its horns towards her, but she simply twisted her body lightly and dodged it effortlessly, and I swung my weapon at it after dodge-rolling to the side. As a result, Mino collapsed to the ground before it got the chance to aim its horns at us again. So it looks like with Durandal, even the monsters on the Labyrinths fourth floor can still be defeated in one blow.
The enemy became a puff od green smoke and disappeared. The item it left behind is something called Minos Hide. If it turns out to be sturdy enough, perhaps it could be a good material for armor-making? Or turning it into some nice clothing? Anyway
So this is the kind of monster we will have to deal with here? Not only does it have quite the ferocious appearance, but it also seems to be pretty powerful.
It does look like a powerful opponent indeed but all you have to do is to watch its movements closely so that you can safely dodge its attacks.
Shes not wrong, but there are two catches to what shes saying: you actually have to be nimble enough to dodge and then swiftly counterattack, and have a keen enough eyesight to actually see the best possible moment for carrying out a dodge. As much as it pains me to say it, out of the two of us, only Roxanne is able to carry such manuevers out in a consistent manner. I dont want to always be burdening her with having to act like a decoy, so I will have to definitely do something about it in the near future.
Now that the battle with Mino was finished, I unequipped Durandal and switched back to my magic-using setup. Now that we are on the fourth floor, it seems highly unlikely that I will be able to defeat monsters other than Kobolds with one or two shots of my spells. Itll be more realistic to assume that I will need three or perhaps even four of them to get the job done properly. The obvious downside to it is that if I cant defeat them in three shots or less, it means that the probability of them reaching me before I could dispose of them will be greater, but its not like I can do anything about it besides gaining more levels and increasing my stats.
As we moved forward through the fourth floor, we havent encountered a group of two or more Minos. The groups of enemies we fought against always consisted of either one of them, or a mixture of just one Mino along with a Kobold, a Green Caterpillar or even a Needlewood. As a side note: Needlewoods; monsters native to Veil Labyrinths first floor, were growing more and more scarce now. Perhaps after venturing a few more floors further we will stop encountering them at all? well, no point thinking about it now. Scarce or not, they are still enemies that have to be cut down for us to proceed.
If we only have to deal with one Mino, dealing with it can be left to Roxanne.
