Academy Horror Chapter Forty-Eight: Eveleizhen
When Carter led a large group of people to Shahlimnir's door, Tonio had just finished mopping the floor with a mop. The chef looked up and saw the crowd led by Carter, and he felt his head grow.
"Carter, I'm not a cafeteria...... Every time you bring so many people to me, you say that only heroes are allowed to eat in the halls of Valhalla, you ......" Tonio crossed his waist and reprimanded Carter, do you really think you are a dining hall here?
Carter glanced at Celine and Ryusuke, who were following behind him, and he carefully leaned over and whispered a few words in Tonio's ear. Tonio's eyes widened at first, but instead of paying attention to Shirin and Ryusuke, he carefully examined Natasha, and then he nodded: "In that case, it won't be a problem. Come in, you're in luck, I just replenished the ingredients, all the ingredients are fresh, and there's new wine in the fridge, would you like to try it?"
Carter whistled happily and waved his hand to signal the person behind him to walk into the dining room.
Sirin followed Ryusuke a little timidly, she was a little unsure of what the notorious second generation of witches was thinking. Ryusuke gently took Xilin's hand and signaled her not to panic, the two exchanged glances, and Xilin calmed down.
Tonio stood at the door of the restaurant, bowing to each person who entered, and when all the group had entered, he first looked around, then closed the door.
"Is it still the old menu?" asked Tonio.
"No, no, no, this time it's going to be the best, by the way, there's a little girl here, can you make a few ice creams?" Carter sat down on the long table with ease, and he sat down on the opposite side of the long table skillfully, so that he could pick up food and hand things to the guests. Tonio didn't want to hire a waiter, he originally wanted the feeling and atmosphere of having meat and dishes on the table and the warriors taking them at will. But not a single one of you here is someone who should do it yourself. Except, of course, Shirin and Ryusuke.
This pair of men and women who have an abnormal relationship at first glance, hesitantly sat down in front of the long table, Ryusuke sat on the outside, next to Sirin, and Xilin was next to Moira, and next to Moira sat Lin Moyang, the little duck was not attached to Lin Moyang, but was held in the arms of the Terminator, at this time the Terminator's face was full of bright smiles, holding the little duck in his arms, and kept laughing.
Celine and Ryusuke carefully observed these strange-looking people, no matter how they looked at them, they didn't look like normal students.
Celine carefully pulled the corner of Moira's clothes: "Why did you get together with Carter Alexander?" In Sirin's opinion, Moira is very likely to be Carter's girlfriend, and she is a little worried that this kind little witch who often buys candy for orphanage children in her store has been deceived by some scumbag.
"Uh...... No, Mr. Carter is a very good man, we may have misunderstood him before, but in general, Mr. Carter is indeed a very good person. Moira hastened to explain that she hadn't figured out exactly where the misunderstanding was.
"Hmph...... If he is a good person, then there will be no bad people in this world. In Celine's eyes, whether it is Fox or Carter, both of them are all the way, and they are both prodigals who rely on the power of the family to do nonsense.
"Ryusuke, let's go. Celine got up from the bench, and the taciturn Japanese beside her followed suit, and she could see that she was about to leave.
"You two won't leave something to eat?" Carter said with a smile.
Celine replied domineeringly: "I am taken care of by Your Excellency today, but after all, we are not nobles, and eating at the same table with nobles will not make the nobles lose their dignity? β
Carter could see that this girl who was older than his own college had a deep prejudice and hatred for the aristocracy, he shook his head and said, "This is not up to you, I did not invite you to dinner to suppress the shock, but to ask for guilt." β
Sirin and Ryusuke's faces changed at the same time, and Ryusuke took the first step to protect Sirin behind him, with a deep hostility on his face.
Moira said in a panic, "Lord Carter, speak clearly, don't scare Sister Cyrin." β
Carter looked at Ryusuke's reaction, nodded very subtly, and said: "Of course, it's not me who asks for guilt, you pretend to be Lord Fenglong, this is indeed a serious crime, once the matter gets out, what will you do? I remember that although old Fogg unfortunately passed away, you still have a mother, right? You understand the way Your Excellency Fenglong acts, although he is the savior of the poor, he is also a ruthless killer and butcher. β
Celine shuddered, glanced at Ryusuke a little helplessly, and said: "It's all my idea, even if Your Excellency Fenglong really wants to investigate, then it's better to hold me accountable, I know it's not right to pretend to be Your Excellency Fenglong, so I'm willing to accept the punishment, but what's the matter with my mother?"
Karter nodded and took Cyrin's words, his purpose had been achieved, and the woman began to calm down and think about the consequences. "So you have to sit down and eat this meal, if you want to be exempt from punishment, or even seek the help of Your Excellency Fenglong, you have to sit down and eat, after all, if you don't say it, how does this Excellency know what the situation is?"
While speaking, Carter also made a gesture of motion, pointing the eyes of Sirin and Ryusuke to the side with an embarrassed look on the side.
Sirin and Ryusuke saw this guy who looked very shy and a little cowardly, and when they turned their eyes, this person still consciously or unconsciously avoided their gaze. Although this person rushed out of the crowd just now to delay time and held out until Carter arrived at the scene, but listening to Carter's previous meaning, this person is one of his subordinates, is there anything special about this person?
Or Ryusuke looked at it for a while, frowned, and asked, "This friend, is it Chinese?"
Carter nodded, and he added a lot of points to the image of this Japanese, "That's right, this is the plenipotentiary agent of His Excellency Fenglong, His Excellency Lin Moyang, one of the current members of the Sword of Damocles. β
Sirin and Ryusuke's faces suddenly became very exciting, Cerin's face turned pale at first, and then she kept apologizing in the same place at a loss: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know that you were the agent of His Excellency Fenglong, we shouldn't pretend to be His Excellency Fenglong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Ryusuke gently supported Sirin beside him, although his face was not very good.
"Sit down, sit down, the food here is very delicious. I'm embarrassed that you apologize like this, you are pretending to be Brother Fenglong and not me, and I don't think Brother Fenglong will pursue this kind of thing. Sit down first. Lin Moyang was so sincerely apologized for being frightened, but it made him feel embarrassed, he didn't know where to put his hand, he quickly motioned to Ryusuke, who was still relatively calm next to him, to help Xilin sit down.
Ryusuke sat down with Shirin, who was already a little trembling, and Shirin, who was already pale with fear, leaned on Ryusuke's shoulder, and sobbed quietly.
Lin Moyang scratched his head a little embarrassed, he turned his head to look at Natasha who was playing with the duckling, and he asked, "Am I that scary?"
Natasha, who was facing the sun, raised her head, and suddenly her face turned into ice: "Don't ask me." Then she bowed her head and played with the duckling.
Damn, Lin Moyang thought to himself, if you don't say it, don't say it, why do you have to change your face, forget about the duckling, you have a better attitude towards the female duck.
Carter hurriedly filled a large glass of mead from the barrel and placed it on the table in front of Celine: "Don't be afraid, drink something to calm down." β
Ryusuke nodded first and thanked Carter, but at this time, Celine really couldn't drink anything, so Ryusuke could only gently pat the girl's back with his hand and comfort her in a low voice.
"Here it is, Banana Boat! I've doubled the amount of pure chocolate!" Tonio excitedly placed a plate-sized cup of cold drink in front of the duckling, with a sea of ice cream on top of it, a plump banana decorated with chocolate pins, and a spoon and umbrella. The duckling cheered, sat down in Natasha's arms, turned around and picked up the spoon, looking happy like a 3-year-old child.
Tonio watched as the duckling happily put the ice cream in his mouth, a smile of accomplishment on his face. "You made it too?" asked Tonio, tilting his head.
"Of course, Shahlimnir never sells finished products, everything is handmade by today's chef Toneo, and the ingredients are purchased from the strictest channels! "The chef's eyebrows flutter at the mention of cooking, as if he has endless words.
"Is there a drink that can calm people down quickly? I bet twenty gold coins. Carter was joking with Tonyo, and now Ryusuke was still comforting Sirin, and it would take time for the girl to calm down, so he had to shift his energy to the side.
"Of course, there is an alchemist in the Middle East who invented a flavored spirit made from the root tissue of the tranquilizing flower, named 'Northern Glacier', which tastes similar to whiskey, but can suppress the excitatory nerves and calm people, and is a high spirit that can be decanted, and you can only drink this kind of wine in the great Shahlimnir!" Tonio patted one of the barrels of the pile with a solid thud, and raised his chin with some pride: "Drink is free!" But I'll have to put the 20 gold coins on your account. β
Carter said nonchalantly, "20 is 20, put all your good wine in a keg, by the way, are you still making wine?"
Tonio replied while holding the wine: "Of course there is, of course a good chef can do anything, and so is winemaking, I just restored an ancient wine through literature some time ago, it is very likely that it is the kind of wine that the heroic warriors drank during the Divine Dynasty, I improved it and named it 'Eveleizhen', the name of the Valkyrie who lost her favor under Odin~" Tonio made a gesture, and the freezer door in the kitchen opened automatically, and a small glass bottle floated from the freezer to Carter.
"But why are you asking this?" Tonio was curious.
The small bottle in front of me emitted a soft and bright golden light, and the liquor inside did not look like a rare wine, but like melted gold. Carter carefully lifted the lid, and a special smell like a spring breeze filled the hall, not like it wafting out of a bottle, but a strange aroma that was already there, and the wine stimulated the sense of smell and made people feel the intoxicating smell.
Carter reluctantly shoved the lid on, and he asked, "That's all there is to it?"
Tonio put the cask on the table and nodded, "Yes, I only have so few ingredients on my hands, and this wine is very material-intensive, you know, all my things are prepared according to the standard quantity of the Immortal Banquet, so do you know how long it took me to make up this bottle of 'Evelet'?"
Carter is a little stupid, just this small bottle of wine, at best 500 ml is about the same, this is also called the banquet standard?
Tonio took the bottle and carefully poured out a drop of golden liquor, motioning for Carter to give it a try.
Carter looked at the glass in confusion, not much more than dew, and wondered how Tonio didn't look like him today, but the mellow aroma of this drop of wine still tempted him to pour this drop into his mouth.
Lin Moyang looked at Carter's reaction with some curiosity, but Carter clicked his mouth and said with some doubts: "This wine doesn't taste good, is it not as good as mead." β
At this time, Toneo mysteriously poured a large glass of mead for Carter and handed it to Carter: "You drink the mead again." β
Carter looked at the chef's mysterious and mysterious expression today, and didn't know what Toneo was selling today, he carefully licked the mead, and immediately smiled, yes, it was still the delicious mead. Carter took a big sip of mead and asked, "It's normal mead, it still tastes so good, but what does it have to do with your new wine?"
Tonio opened the keg of mead, then unscrewed the lid of Eveleizhen and carefully dropped a drop. He then poured the mead that had been dripping into Eveleizhen into another cup and placed it in front of Carter. "Try again. β
Carter glanced at Toneo and raised his new glass. His eyes widened at this moment, the originally sweet and refreshing mead was now like a living thing, and after entering his mouth, every taste bud of his body was activated, and what he felt was not the taste that surpassed the mead, but a surging sense of happiness. The taste is still the same, but the texture and impact are more than ten times better. Carter drank the mead cow from the cup in one gulp, revealing a satisfied and happy expression.
"My wine is the wine of warriors, suitable for the Heroic Warriors to nibble on fat and splattered roast meat at a sumptuous feast, and to gulp on beef in a wooden cup. But Evelyn is a Valkyrie's wine, and if I had to describe it, it doesn't have any flavor in itself, but mixing it with other wines can highlight the characteristics of other wines, just as a warrior can be accompanied by a Valkyrie in the halls of Valhalla, and only in the company of a Valkyrie can he be considered a true warrior. The legendary dragon slayer Sigroot was accompanied by Brunhilde, so this Eveletzhen is also a wonderful wine that can be mixed with any liquor to produce a strange effect. The higher the quality of the liquor itself, the better it will work. Tonio now unravels the mystery with pride on his face.
Carter looked at the empty cup in his hand in shock, even though he was full of happiness when he drank it, but there was almost no dependence on this happiness, and there was no concern about addiction.
"Of course, BrΓΌnnhilde and Sigroot are not a match made in heaven, and they will eventually separate, so Evelyn is not addictive, after all, I make the wine of God's Generation, not a demagogic drug. Tonio smiled and poured Carter another glass of mead.
Only then did Carter happily say, "I want this wine." β
Tonio shook his head at this time: "It's not for sale, it's not for sale." β
Carter expected the chef to say that, and he rolled his eyes and smiled, "Of course I know that there is a drinking party at Merlin College in the evening, so I ......"
Tonio didn't wait for Carter to finish speaking before flatly refusing: "Impossible, Eveleizhen is a treasure, my masterpiece of drinking so far, how can I show you generosity?"
Carter didn't mind, he had long expected Tonio to refuse like this, he seemed to have eaten the chef thoroughly: "No, it's not like this, the drinking party at the Merlin Academy of Magic and Wizardry, most of the wine is made by the students themselves, this is a stage to display the wine, any drink has the opportunity to go on stage, and after enjoying the perfect meal, there will be a wine tasting event." β
"That's okay with me, I'm not a student, and I'm a wine that tastes like pure water. Tonio folded his arms.
"That's not the case, you listen to me. This reception is very special, because of His Excellency Lin Moyang's connection, a famous alchemist from Merlin Academy will provide two barrels of 'Blood of Kings' in this reception. Carter's eyes faltered a little when he saw this, and he thought to himself, "Sample, how can you not be tempted by a vegetable madman?" "If your Eveleizhen is the wine of the Valkyries, then the blood of kings is the wine of kings and heroes. I once had a small glass and it still lingers on me. β
Speaking of this, Carter blinked his cunning eyes: "Don't you want to know, if Evelyn touches the blood of kings, what will be the effect?" A good chef must not only study the ultimate of the dish, but also the ultimate of taste, a good chef must be a good foodie. Carter sneered, you Tonio is still too young.
Sure enough, Tonio's throat moved, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Okay! You can take Eveleizhen with you!"
Carter thought to himself, this guy really took the bait, but he hid the smugness in his heart: "This is a bit difficult to do, I can only smuggle the wine with me, you are such a big living person, how can I bring it?" Carter pretended to have an embarrassed expression, and when Tonio's expression became darker and darker, he pretended to have a flash of inspiration and thought: "There is~ I have a way to bring you in, but you have to promise me an additional condition." β
Toneo's dark face suddenly radiated a glow: "What conditions?"
"You have to be there to help us cook, and you have to take care of the stews and roasts and the main course. So that I can bring you into school in the name of it. Carter also tried to maintain the appearance of thinking about Tonio.
"Good!" Tonio agreed, and the thought of the mixture of the blood of kings and Eveleizhen made him so excited that he didn't notice that Carter turned his back and smiled evilly at Lin Moyang, and made a plan on his face.
