Chapter 1883: Amy Alex
Grilling a large fish required a lot of skill. Thankfully, Mag always had good technique, and everyone knew that.
The fish, which was more than five ters long, was placed on the huge grilling rack. Below the fish was a charcoal fire burning on fruit tree branches. The fish skin sizzled over the fire, and the fragrance of the fish started wafting out in no ti at all.
The large fish had thick at, and this fish alone was akin to a whole cow. To cook the entire fish, it would have to take very long.
If there was a ga size oven, Mag would also like to put it in the oven to bake it.
Even though there was no oven, there was still Amy.
Mag made a simple oven using sheets of tal, and kept the charcoal fire. After that, he got Amy to throw out so fireballs at various sides of the tal sheets to ensure the temperature of the grilled fish was consistent within the “oven”.
This process went on for around half an hour. During the cooking process, Mag brushed so oil on the fish, and got Amy to pause on the fireballs. When it was done, Mag opened up the tal sheet oven.
A large golden-brown grilled fish appeared before their eyes. The rich grilled fish fragrance wafted over imdiately.
Mag grabbed a handful of cumin powder, and threw it into the air. The powder landed evenly on the grilled fish, giving it additional fragrance and an additional sizzle.
Gulp.
The three fellows, who had been squatting at the side and watching, could not help but swallow their saliva.
Ugly Duckling reached a paw out towards the fish’s tail, but was quickly stopped by Amy. “Don’t be impatient. The fish tail is mine.”
“ow, ow?”
Ugly Duckling turned its head around to look at Amy, as though it was unable to accept that fact.
“Is it done?” Irina walked over with a large plate filled with a variety of fruits. There were mangos, waterlons, and others that Mag could not identify. However, they looked very juicy.
“Yes, it’s done.” Mag nodded with a smile. “Ah Zi and Ugly Duckling have prepared a feast for us today.
“Hoooowl~”
Ah Zi howled proudly, and looked at Mag panderingly.
“ow~”
Ugly Duckling followed suit, and reached its paw out for the fishtail again. That was its last insistence.
“Here, I’ll give you guys the head and the tail.” Mag took out Fat Head Fish, and the large fish head, together with a large section of at, was severed with a swift chop. Mag tapped it gently with the knife, and the head flew out.
Ah Zi, which had been waiting for a long ti, flew up to catch the head with its mouth. After that, it brought the fish head to a tree nearby to enjoy it.
After that, Mag cut out a piece of the fin, and threw it to Ugly Duckling.
Ugly Duckling jumped up, and bit onto the fin that was almost its size. It brought the fin to a clean stone nearby, and started nibbling on it. The crunchy fin let out a crispy sound as Ugly Duckling ate. Ugly Duckling was so happy it was swinging its tail from side to side.
“It’s ours next.” Mag took out so plates, and cut out the at, together with the skin, near the head area, and passed it to Amy, Annie, and Irina.
A small table was set up in the shade of a tree. A cool breeze blew over from the lake, and the air was filled with a wonderful fruity scent. They all had a piece of grilled fish each, and there was even a large plate of fruits in the middle.
Mag and Irina opened a bottle of red wine. anwhile, Amy and Annie had so fresh fruit juice.
“To Amy, who won the championship at the Magic Caster Tournant!” Mag lifted his glass as he toasted.
“Congratulations, Amy. You have broken a series of records I left behind. You have taken over your mum’s legacy in thrashing the Magus Tower.” Irina raised her cup as well.
Annie passed a little green grasshopper she made with aloe vera to Amy with a smile.
“It’s so cute! Thank you, Big Sister Annie!” Annie received the little grasshopper with a smile, and raised her glass of fruit juice. “Cheers!”

They clinked their glasses gently, and took a sip. After that, they began to settle the grilled fish in front of them.
The large fish had exceptionally thick and fresh at. The fish, which had been scaled, was grilled to a nice golden brown. The fish’s belly was slit open with a small knife, and one could already feel how crispy the skin was. At the sa ti, the at under the skin was exceptionally tender.
Mag used a fork to feed the at, together with the skin, into his mouth. The tender at lted in his mouth almost imdiately. The crispy fish skin was increasingly fragrant the more he chewed on it. The spices gave the fish a wonderful taste, which filled the entire mouth cavity as he chewed.
Although it was a freshwater fish that had grown to such a large size, the at was neither fishy nor dry.
This thod of grilling was a little different from how Mag did it at the restaurant. However, even without the gravy and continued cooking on the charcoal fire, it still had a unique grilled flavor.
The grilled fish disappeared in no ti at all. They finished off with so chilled waterlon, and life felt complete at that mont.
“The grilled fish is really good. Father, I want more,” Amy told Mag expectantly after she finished the fish on her plate.
“ow~”
“Ow~”
Ugly Duckling and Ah Zi had returned to the grilling rack, and were also looking at Mag expectantly.
“Here.” Mag cut off so at for them with a smile again. The five-ter-long fish was almost gone; most of it had gone to Ah Zi’s and Ugly Duckling’s stomach.
“ow~”
Ugly Duckling, whose belly was large and round after the feast, lay facing up on a stone as it licked its mouth with satisfaction. It was the first ti it had experienced being full since it had been born. It was indeed a blissful feeling.
Ah Zi was still gnawing at the fish head at the side. This might be a large fish to everyone, but it really could not really fill it up.
However, the grilled fish tasted way better than raw fish. Even the bones were flavorful.
Mag and his family had already started on their fruits. There was chilled fresh fruit juice and freshly picked fruits accompanied by the breeze. How relaxing.
“So blissful~ Burp~,” Amy said happily as she bit into the chilled waterlon.
Annie also had a smile on her face as she held a glass of fruit juice.
Mag looked at the glistening lake, and then at Irina, Amy, and Annie beside him. He had his wife and two daughters around on such a relaxing day. Such a worry-free life was indeed comfortable.
“Amy. Father and Mother have sothing to tell you today,” Mag began after glancing at Irina.
Irina also looked at Amy with a smile.
“Hm?” Amy sat up straight and looked at the two adults curiously. She guessed, “Could it be that I am going to be an older sister?”
Mag and Irina felt embarrassed imdiately at the sa ti. They did not expect that the first thing the little fellow thought of was another baby.
“You’re not going to beco an older sister. It’s just so things about your mother and I. It was also sothing that you’ve asked about often in the past.” Mag shook his head with a smile.
Amy blinked and listened seriously.
“I am Mag Alex. The number one knight on the Norland Continent. She is the princess of the Wind Forest, Irina, and you are our daughter, Amy Alex,” Mag said seriously.
