Chapter 69: What a Hatred
Something strange was hidden beneath the taste of the wine, and it almost didn't even notice that Kahlil. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The rhizome of lotus flower that has been dried once is crushed into powder, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the nerves, the medicinal properties are mild and suitable for the vast majority of human physiques, and can be mixed in a variety of drinks, the taste is sweet and light, and it almost does not affect the original taste. This is the original usage, which is one of the more commonly used materials, but there are not many places where it is produced, and only a few regions in the world use this grass, and this herb is not the only use.
Take a large number of stems and leaves and crush them directly, add water and some other materials to squeeze out the juice of the plant from it, filter and distill it once or twice to form a little emerald green with a fragrant potion, the effect is much faster than the rhizome powder, mixed with alcohol, it is easy to put down the average person, the disadvantage is that the grass smell is much heavier than the rhizome powder, and it is easy to be found.
But Carlil didn't expect the mixed taste to be the grass juice of the lotus six-clawed flower, and when she raised the cup to her lips, she could see the unusual wisps of cloudy, pale green slightly impurities in the wine, barely distinguishable from cider wine, if it weren't for Carlil's own recognition of these things, she would definitely not have noticed this subtle difference.
Kahlil held his glass and hesitated for a few seconds, and many speculations quickly flashed in his mind, judging from the solubility of the grass juice, it should have been added after pouring the wine, which basically ruled out the possibility of the bar owner's attack, as long as he put the grass juice first and then flushed the cider, he could wash the grass juice and disperse it in the cup at one time, so that he was afraid that he would not be able to find the abnormality.
But the hesitant action has been made, although I don't know who put the medicine, but I'm afraid that people are watching from the side at this moment, since they don't plan to expose it now, then they have to be more realistic.
Kahlil took advantage of the situation to turn the cup up a little more, put her whole nose over the mouth of the cup, deliberately tugged her stomach and took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath, and then carefully sipped a little of the cider that was still pure at the edge.
With the sweetness of apples and the unique burning sensation of the wine, the taste of the wine spreads quickly in the mouth with a small sip, filling every corner of the mouth at once, spreading down the throat to the chest, and the burning sensation quickly recedes, leaving a refreshing coolness.
Tsk, it's the closest place to the Assassin League's lair.
Kahlil let out a long sigh of relief, a mouthful of wine blew out of her mouth, put the cup back on the table, the red lotus on the side drank some wine, her face was a little red, and after seeing Carlil's action, she came up and put her arm around Carlil's shoulder and asked, "How is it, it tastes good!" ”
"It's really good" Karil nodded, pretending that nothing had happened and observing Qing Xi and Red Lotus, as if they didn't have any strange reactions, and I don't know if there was anything wrong with the wine in their hands.
"Do you want to keep me?" Red Lotus proudly put her own wine glass in front of Karil, looked at Karil expectantly, and sprayed Kahliel's face with wine as she spoke.
"Okay" Karil agreed, and was thinking about how to confirm their wine, and Red Lotus sent it with such cooperation, and it was really a good actor.
Kahlil picked up the cup and sniffed it, a smell of grapes and something I don't know, it smelled a bit like mint, but it didn't have the cold feeling of mint.
With the experience of the last time, Kahlil pretended to bring the glass to her mouth slowly, pretending to drink it, carefully observing whether there were any foreign objects in the drink and discerning if there was anything wrong with the smell.
It seems like...... Everything is normal?
Although there is no reagent to confirm, years of experience in alchemy and various materials tell Carlil that it really seems to be just an ordinary mixed wine, with no special smell and no special additives, and the smell of something like mint is amazing, and it can't be any kind of ingredient that will be used in medicine.
Thinking about the boss's "same as before" question at the beginning, it is estimated that it is a unique taste of Honglian, and there should be no problem.
Carlil pondered, slowly pouring a sip of Red Lotus's special wine into her mouth.
"Poof-ahem! Ahem, ahem! ”
The unique taste of coolness and burning instantly filled Kaliel's mouth, and a smell of alcohol poured straight into the trachea, which stimulated Karil and directly squirted out the wine, and then a violent burning sensation suddenly flashed in the trachea, making her cough desperately.
"Aha!" Red Lotus became more unrestrained after drinking, she laughed and quickly took the wine glass in Carlil's hand and put it back to herself, while gloating and laughing, she helped Carlil to bend down to the side and coughed desperately, helping Carlil hammer her back to comfort her breath, looking like a child who had succeeded in mischievous.
"Ahem-ahem...... Hah, you ...... Phew, you guy! Caryl finally regained her breath, and her tears came out of her choking mouth, and the smell of wine ran down her mouth and coughed into her eyes, making her eyes slightly red, as if she had just cried once.
Careless, hey!
Karil patronized to pay attention to whether there was anything wrong with the wine, completely forgetting that the wine smelled very strong, and did not dare to pour it when she drank it, and was completely choked by the alcohol.
"Okay, okay, hahahaha" Honglian picked up the cup and took a sip, then exhaled comfortably, enjoying it very much, and continued: "It's rare to see you hit, it's really unbearably happy."
"you!"
Carlil rubbed her nose vigorously and sat back, the boss had already handed over a towel, and when Carlil took it over to wipe her eyes and nose, the boss also wiped the wine that was sprayed by Carlil on the table, and then smiled and looked at Carlil with a gentle gaze like her own daughter, took the towel from her hand, and asked again: "Do you feel better?" ”
"Well, much better, thank you"
Karil's face blushed rarely, it was really a little embarrassing, she didn't dare to see if the other people sitting in the hall were attracted to it, so she leaned forward and sandwiched between Red Lotus and another guest.
Okay, okay, anyway, Red Lotus's wine is fine.
Kahlil paused again and looked at the glass of wine in front of her, the grass juice was completely dissolved in the wine, and she must not be able to drink it anymore, and I would not move if the enemy did not move, so it was better to find an excuse to pour this glass away.
"That...... Excuse me, can you change it for me? ”
Carlil asked softly, the boss was caught by the red lotus who was drinking and kept talking, and he didn't say much when he heard Carlil's words, while continuing to maintain the relationship between telling and listening with the red lotus, he took away the glass of wine in front of Carlil, and poured it into the cleaning pool casually.
There is one more person who did not confirm.
Kahlil turned around, his gaze bypassing the red lotus and falling on Qing Xi, he leisurely drank a glass of wine in his hand, as if nothing had happened, and only when Kahlil looked over, did he smile and turn his head to meet her gaze.
"Give me a taste" Kahlil directly reached out to ask for it, there was no need to do too much modification, it was more natural to reach out directly.
"Oh?" Qing Xi looked at Karil with some surprise, and then handed the wine glass he was holding from behind Red Lotus to Karil.
What is this cup, Qingmei?
Karil sniffed it, and the smell was almost the smell of alcohol volatilization, with a slight fruit acid feeling, probably the highest degree in the three glasses.
With the lesson of last time, this time Carlil didn't dare to drink too much, and when she paid attention to the drink, she felt that it seemed to be fine, and then ...... a little It's really just a little bit ...... It's almost like licking a little bit with the tip of your tongue......
Not...... It's numb, it seems to be burning, and there are very few potions that can take effect at this degree and have no obvious characteristics, so it should be no problem.
Okay, why is there a problem with my cup alone?
Kahlil blew her tongue and returned the glass to Qing Ci, then shook her head vigorously, indicating that she couldn't drink it.
Kiyoshi took the glass, turned around and sat back in front of the bar, while looking at the rim of the glass with a subtle expression and raising his eyebrows.
"Come, the cider you want, I'll ask for this glass." The boss smiled and put the wine glass in front of Karil again: "I'll invite this glass." ”
"Well, thanks"
Before Carlil finished speaking, the boss was dragged back by Red Lotus, and at this time Red Lotus was swaying about the situation when they went to the Holy City, although the voice was not loud, but it looked like this was ready to tell the bar owner all the big and small things.
Tut...... Don't mess with your teammates, you guy.
The drugged guy was still next to him and didn't know where, and Kaliel didn't know for a moment whether she was going to make a sound until Red Lotus's desperate shaking outward, she knocked Red Lotus's arm with her elbow, and was ignored by Red Lotus's nonchalant wave of her hand.
Forget it, let's jump out when it's critical.
Kahlil shook her head, drawing her attention back to her cider.
To be precise, on the almost dissolved grass juice in the wine......
It seems to have been added after pouring. If it hadn't taken some time to dissolve completely without stirring, Kahlil wouldn't have noticed.
So who will it be...... can add medicine in the blink of an eye, in addition to the boss, the most likely thing is the guy next to him who doesn't know.
Kahlil secretly observed the person next to him, a set of khaki robes covered his body, the hood hung behind his back, his hair was a little gray, his clothes were not particularly neat, the details were still a little damaged, he looked a little old, he had been drunk since he came in just now, did he stop the waiter who came in and out to order something, or simply chat.
Looks...... It's not like a quick man.
If there is no evidence, it's really hard to say, although he is the only one who is the most suspicious, but what can he do if he is suspicious? What should I do if I get it wrong? Act rashly and alert the enemy? I don't know how many people they have, what purpose, if they get the wrong person, it is estimated that the clue will be broken, who knows what will happen when they turn back!
Kahlil grabbed the glass with some difficulty, placed it on the table, and used her fingers to turn the glass around the table.
Suddenly, a clue unexpectedly appeared in Kaliel's field of vision......
I guess he's right, then...... Bet on it!
Kahlil suddenly turned sideways, and the right Hidden Blade stabbed into the ribs of the old man next to him in an instant.
