Herag didn't even enter the village; he started settling down at a flat spot near the village entrance.
He took a pot and stove from the carriage, sending Sid to find some firewood nearby, then skillfully lit a fire and started cooking.
In front of Sid, Herag snapped his fingers and a flame sprang to life, making Sid widen his eyes in awe and regard Herag with even more reverence.
Count Hu En had generously provided supplies, including cured meat, butter, cheese, and a variety of vegetables.
Herag made a stew with these ingredients; with spices, it was bound to taste decent no matter what.
"Here, serve yourself as much as you want to eat," Herag said, handing Sid a bowl from the carriage.
Sid was flattered and hastily replied, "Sir, I can just eat dry rations."
"If I tell you to eat, then you eat. Don't make me repeat myself," Herag said impatiently.
Sid nodded, "Thank you, sir!"
