【Chapter 143】 To our friendship!
Alice smiled mysteriously and didn't go any further. Both sides are indeed believers in the gods and have a natural foundation of trust, but - after all, the identities of both sides are a little awkward, and they cannot fully trust them for the time being.
However, Luna didn't seem to have any scheming, and being able to meet her companion made her let herself go a little, and said with great interest: "Lord Alice, the gods told me that you are his three best believers, and have mastered his wisdom. It really makes me very curious. ”
Alice pursed her lips and smiled, graciously raising her glass, "Luna, take your time." Patience is a noble quality, and time will enhance our understanding of each other. Here, cheers. ”
Linda was still smiling, introverted and able to talk to Alice, but in front of Luna, she was visibly rusty. Elena, on the other hand, was much more nervous, clasping her thighs on the table with her little hands.
Oh my God, it's a banquet.
Elena was a little uncomfortable all over, although the food on the table was very tempting, she didn't dare to move it at all, and there were knives and forks, I heard that it was very particular whether to hold it in the left hand or in the right hand, if you took it wrong, she would definitely be laughed at.
"Cheers. Luna happily raised her glass, her eyes peeking at Linda from time to time. More than her peculiar looks, there was more of Kayce's description of her fight, the storm, the fierceness, and the exaggerated fists covered with rock thorns.
"Miss Linda, Miss Elena, we're all in this together. ”
Linda quietly picked up her wine glass, and Elena, who was full of cranky thoughts, seemed to be out of her body, still wondering how to hold the knife and fork.
"Elena?" Alice looked at Elena in a daze strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Linda, who was sitting next to Elena, gently touched Elena with her arm. Elena tightened her whole body, and her eyes were full of panic: "Huh, what's wrong?"
"Cheers!" Luna smiled sweetly.
"Oh...... Oh. Elena's palms were sweaty, and she reached for her glass, but she was so nervous that she knocked over the plate and fell to the ground with a thud.
Elena's face turned red all of a sudden, her whole body was like a fire, and she was even more panicked, slipped out of her chair, and hurriedly cleaned up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, Elena. Alice squeezed out an embarrassed smile to the stunned Luna, "She's probably too nervous." ”
"Hmm......" Luna quipped, blinking, "I don't look that scary, do I?"
Picking up the dinner plate and sitting back on the chair, Elena lowered her head a little ashamedly, not daring to look at other people's eyes, and rubbed the corners of her clothes uneasily: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." I didn't mean to. ”
"It's alright, Elena. Linda understood her nervousness, patted her on the shoulder, and gently reassured: "Just relax, we are all friends." Friends don't make fun of friends. ”
Elena was on the verge of crying: "I'm such a fool. ”
"Linda, you and Elena switch places. Alice didn't blame her for her panicked move: "Let Elena sit next to me." ”
After changing positions, Alice held Elena's little hand under the table: "Elena, the first time I attended a banquet when I was a child, I also nervously knocked over the wine glass and spilled it. It's not a big deal, the people here are the beloved children of the gods, and we are good friends. ”
"Alice, I'm sorry. Elena looked at Alice, tears rolling in her eyes: "I'm clumsy, I've embarrassed you." ”
"Don't say that. Alice straightened her face: "The so-called aristocratic etiquette is not innate. I'm just a little luckier and someone taught me when I was a kid. But you're different, relax, do what you want, eat what you want, and no one will laugh at you. ”
Luna didn't know much about the identities between them, but from Alice's words, she felt a kind of warmth, and the sincerity of the friendship between her friends touched her a little.
"Miss Elena. Luna picked up the glass and handed it to Elena, "As Lord Alice said, aristocratic etiquette and other things are learned little by little. Well, I've never cared much about aristocratic etiquette, I've been living mud with boys since I was a child, and people laugh at me for being a rude pig. However, I don't care, the most important thing is that I feel happy. ”
Luna's eyes were sincere, and she smiled playfully, "You'll get to know me later." Haha, I'm a heartless troublemaker. ”
Linda's eyelashes lifted, and she suddenly felt that Luna seemed to be a little cute, the kind of innocent childlike smile, which made people unguarded.
"Elena. Of the four people present, Linda was the oldest, and took out the posture of a big sister and gently lifted her sideburns hair: "Because of my appearance, I have experienced a lot of ridicule and bad words that you can't imagine." But then I understood that those who laugh at you are dark and dirty in their hearts. Only those who can accept your shortcomings are the ones who care about you. ”
After the enlightenment of the three people, Elena finally relaxed a little, stretched out her still trembling hand to take the wine glass from Luna's hand, and wiped the corner of her eyes with the other hand: "Thank you, thank you." ”
"That's right, Elena. Alice raised her glass: "To the great gods, to our friendship, toast." ”
"Cheers!"
The four glasses collided together, and Elena took the glass and drank it cleanly, and when she looked up, she realized that Alice and Luna had just taken a sip, which suddenly made her even more embarrassed.
But Linda smiled and drank as well as she did. Alice came to her senses and drank it with a slight smile.
"Uh......" Luna scratched her head, looked at the three of them, seemed to understand a little, and drank it dry, and stuck out her tongue mischievously, "It's delicious, another drink." Huh, what is this?"
It's really delicious, because considering the age of several people, if you really have wine, you might get drunk in a while. So, I used pear juice that Alice had personally selected and tasted.
This pot was improved by her, because she found that if the heat-treated pear juice was immediately closed, the taste and texture would become very poor and even rancid after a while. However, if it is cooled and then sealed, the taste will remain sweet and refreshing.
However, Luna, who came from an aristocratic background, has never eaten a pear raw, so she can't taste what it is. But it tastes sweet and very delicious.
"This is the wisdom of the gods. Alice smiled and refilled a glass for her: "I've squeezed pear juice, Linda and I are the same work." ”
"Is the juice of the pears so delicious?" Luna looked surprised, "I've only eaten stewed and roasted pears." My mom said that eating raw pears would make you sick. ”
"Don't worry, Luna. Alice smiled and explained, "This is the greatness of the gods, the secrets hidden in the natural world. ”
She didn't say it, this magical pear juice could also remove the curse of the sea god.
"Really?" Luna, the master of nature's forces, showed intense curiosity, "Can you elaborate on that? I want to learn more about nature." ”
"Absolutely. Alice nodded: "These pears are wild pears picked from the Hurek Forest. But it's a pity that it's basically finished, otherwise I can show you the process of extraction in person. ”
In order to treat several of Captain Mason's sailors, Linda traveled through the forest, and the wild fruits and vegetables were basically used up. In other words, in the cold winter, if someone really gets the curse of the sea god, there is nothing they can help.
Luna's heart moved, "Do you still have the seeds of Yamanashi?" Perhaps, I can show the natural power that the gods have given me, like this tulip." ”
Alice and Linda both looked at it, and they couldn't bear to ask how this magical tulip came from, but they were also very curious.
