The bird skeleton kept talking.

Shen Jin's attention was focused on the five crystal goblets in front of him, which contained red wine, but not just red wine.

Shen Zui saw a layer of white worms floating in each wine glass, wriggling in the red wine, not knowing whether they were struggling or playing.

The bird skeleton suddenly removed its mask, revealing a face as upright as a marble sculpture with a cylindrical nose that stood proudly in the sky.

He smiled evilly and said, "So, congratulations on the honor of being a candidate, this is a fine wine specially prepared for you." ”

Shen Zui raised his glass, and upon closer inspection, he found that the bottom of the glass was still precipitated with black spherical solids, curved body hair, and a thick white liquid.

Seeing their embarrassed faces, the bird skeleton said, "Of course, you can also choose not to drink, in this way, you will refuse the invitation of the "association", not only will you slap the nominee in the face, but you will also be regarded as an enemy by us, and you will weigh the consequences yourself."

His words forced the four of them to make a quick decision, and Shen drunk closed his eyes and sighed, not wanting to analyze the ingredients.

The people wearing masks around were amused, and they went to take off their masks and came over to shake hands with them one by one.

Beneath the red octopus mask was a rugged face full of stubble, and he laughed and slapped Nurli on the shoulder and said, "I was worried about your boy making a mess, otherwise I would have beaten you up." ”

Nuerli also laughed and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, your voice has changed, and I don't recognize it." ”

Shen Zui saw that the two of them were almost carved out of the same mold, except that the red octopus was taller and stronger than Nurli.

Nurli asked, "You nominated me?"

The red octopus said, "Nonsense, how can anyone else be seen by me, haha." ”

Nuerli asked again, "You also wrote the contents of the letter?"

The red octopus laughed and said, "No." ”

Nuerli said: "It's really cheap, I almost signed it, if it weren't... ”

He turned his face to look at Shen Zui and said, "Otherwise, you are called Shen Zui, right?" ”

Shen Zui nodded.

"Dawan Guishan Nurli. He pointed to the red octopus and said, "This is my cousin, Adili." ”

Adili stretched out a large hand and said, "You are now famous, the first civilian candidate in nearly twenty years, and everyone wants to see what is so good about you." ”

His hand was extremely strong, and when he shook it gently, he felt pain in his mouth when he was drunk.

Shen Zui felt ashamed and said, "Actually, I am the most deserving of nomination." By the way, who nominated me, please help me point it out, I can ask why. ”

The bird skeleton happened to be passing by, and when he heard his words, he interjected, "He won't participate in this level of activity, and he can't be seen by anyone who wants to." I agree with you, you are indeed not qualified to be nominated, but our president does not like to play cards according to common sense, not only named you as a candidate, but also advanced your membership fee for you, as if you are very sure that you will be able to pass a series of tests later. ”

"Aze, your words are sour. Adili laughed at him and said, "No matter how bad you are, at least you survived the first round of tests, unlike the waste you nominated, haha." ”

The bird skeleton said unconvinced: "Hmph, it wasn't my intention to nominate him. ”

"Hahaha, you just have to keep your mouth shut. Adili continued to laugh at him, and then said to Shen Zui: "I forgot to introduce, this is Lord Aizawa Makoto, the Marquis of the Red Stream of the Twilight Kingdom." ”

It turned out to be Brandon's little cousin, looking at the face, it's quite annoying.

Shen Zui thought so in his heart, with a smile on his face, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to show goodwill.

Makoto Aizawa shook hands with him very perfunctorily, and said with a sly smile: "I am a very fair person, and I will definitely take good care of you with the next few tests." ”

Shen Zui heard that he had bad intentions, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "There is labor, there is labor." It's just that I'm really not a good person, and I definitely can't pass the test, for fear that I will disappoint the kindness of adults. ”

Aizawa Makoto's eyebrows were very light, carefully trimmed, and looked very sharp, he squinted at Shen Zui, and snorted coldly and said, "People who have no ability speak well." ”

Adili interrupted and said, "I'll talk about it later." I know that there is a store where the mint tea is very authentic, should I try it? ”

Makoto Aizawa shook his head in disgust.

Adili then asked Shen Zui: "What about you, there is nothing to worry about, sit together?"

"Good. Shen Zui readily agreed.

They walked out the door, and outside was an open cornfield, and Adili had brought three horses from the stable.

Shen Zui can ride a horse, but his skills are definitely not as good as the Dawan people who grew up on horseback, so he always holds the reins and tries his best to chase the two of them.

The three of them sped all the way, only slowing down after entering the city.

Adili led them into a courtyard-style building in the Western Regions, with neat diamond-shaped tiles on the floor and a two-story fountain in the middle. Across the courtyard, the hall is carpeted, there are no seats, and a few cushions are randomly arranged around a few small coffee tables. They took off their shoes and found a place where no one was around.

The clerk's buddy knew Adili well, and without asking him what he needed, he brought a pot of tea and three cups. The teapot and teacup are silver, and the work is delicate and shiny.

Shen Zui wanted to pour tea for the two, but was preempted by Adili. He is tall and powerful, and he is very sincere and friendly to people.

"Come and try it, this is the arrow leaf mint produced by Dawan, which was transported overnight by fast horses to ensure freshness. My taste is on the light side, they put less sugar, you can add it yourself if you think it's not sweet. Adili said, handing over a small candy box.

Shen had never drunk this kind of tea before, he took a sip first, the taste was very sweet but not greasy, and the sweetness of mint made people feel that there was a grassland stretching in their hearts.

"It tastes so good. He couldn't help but say.

Adili smiled smugly and poured him another glass.

"Brother. "Do they have 'that' here?"

Adili listened to his words and said, "Haha, I'm still wondering how long you have to hold back before asking, yes, there must be, and it's the best breed." ”

After saying that, he whistled at the guy, and the other party immediately understood what he meant. I took out a wooden box from under the bar and brought it over.

Nuerli couldn't wait to open the wooden box and take out a small J-shaped glass device and a paper bag.

"Have you tried 'Forget Worries Grass' before," he asked Shen Zui.

Shen Zui had never even heard of this name, let alone tried it.

Nurli and Adili smiled heartily and said, "You're lucky today." ”

He poured a little water into the shorter section, then took the dried leaves from the paper packet, put them in the card slot in the middle of the glass device, lit it, plugged the card slot with a glass stopper, and extinguished the fire. Nurli took a few puffs into the mouth of the long glass tube, and when he heard the bubbling sound, he immediately handed the glass device to Shen Zui.

Adili told him: "Take three small sips and take your time." ”

Shen Zui took the glass device, first smelled the gray smoke coming out, there was no strange smell, tried to take a puff, but he didn't feel anything. Then when he took two more puffs, he didn't know how to do it, he didn't inhale much, but he inhaled it too quickly in his throat, and the smoke went down his lungs, causing a cough, and he didn't feel anything else.

He wondered, casting a puzzled look at Nurli and Adili.

The two laughed, as if they were waiting to see a good show.

Gradually, in Shen Zui's eyes, their faces became longer and longer, and the surroundings became blurred, filled with all kinds of bright colors.

At the same time, he felt that his head was heavy and his body was light, and he slowly leaned back and lay down on the carpet, the ceiling turning into a swirling kaleidoscope.

The eyelids are not under his control, and he can't close his eyes even if he wants to, and eventually all the colors and images converge into a white light.

Following the light, Amanda's gentle voice came: "Do you miss me?"
