Chapter 1196: Drinking with Memories
Aunt Pope is really a perfect and good woman who is gentle and virtuous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although as the leader of a large multinational organization like the Great Holy Church, she will inevitably have a decisive side, but Lu Xi said that she has not seen it anyway, and of course she can calmly see the other party as a perfect female model full of maternal models. My own teacher would miss such a good woman, this can really be regarded as a crime! Thinking of this, Lu Xi did not hesitate to glance at Orucello with contempt, and then responded with the latter's even more unfriendly eyes.
"If you are told to sit down, sit down, if you are told to sit down, you will sit down." He said very unceremoniously.
Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and said that he was not as familiar as a tsundere and black-bellied dead old man. He put down the barrel and red wine, beckoned, and followed by the star spirit Angie and Lydia, who were guest waitress behind him, and hurriedly put down the food in their hands, and laid out a large puddle of them - but most of them were actually some fried potato chips, fried small fish, ham, cheese and other appetizers, all taken from the supplies that had just been delivered. The only thing that counts as a "big dish" is just a grilled fish, and the portion is not small, but due to the lack of materials, there is really no guarantee of how it tastes. In fact, Lu Xi already admires himself very much, in this case, he can still catch fish, and he can also find a way to make (let's count) a banquet, which is already a full score of housekeeping skills.
Although for a big man, this doesn't seem to be anything to be proud of.
Of course, compared to the rest of the island, the old mage and the female pope should be the only ones sitting in the shade, but no one disagrees with this.
Well, who is the most privileged on this island, this is really a clear performance!
“…… You kid, you didn't take the opportunity to put something weird in there, did you? Orucello looked at Lu Xi, who seemed to be smiling a little ill-willedly, and showed a suspicious expression.
“…… I know that the first time I cooked for you, I did a little cooking experiment. Maybe it's a little avant-garde, so you still have a psychological shadow to this day. But you don't want to think about it, even if I had any opinion about you, I wouldn't have affected Bruncht's subordinates. ”
"Huh...... Psychological shadows? That's a very new term for you! The Pope covered his mouth and smiled, and looked at Orucello with a smile: "I should say, I really deserve to be your disciple, right?" ”
Even in the face of the world's No. 1 old devil, there will never be a psychological shadow, and the most powerful mage in the world who will only give the other party a psychological shadow will cough indifferently at this time, and his embarrassed look flashed, and Lu Xi's eyes are naturally becoming more and more unfriendly. He glared at his beloved fiercely—at this time, Lu Xi responded directly to an innocent, sunny and unadulterated smile—and then reluctantly stretched out two fingers and picked up a bottle of red wine.
"What's this? White clouds dry red? As soon as you hear it, it is the product of your own three-industry small wine shop in Cloudsdale, look at this color, this consistency, and you will know that it is a table wine supplied to the tavern. Orucello shook his empty flask regretfully, feeling that he wanted to fill the wine but couldn't, slapped his mouth, and said slowly: "I didn't say it, Yahi, the bishop under you who is in charge of the three industries is really not in good taste." ”
It turns out that the Great Holy Church has three properties? Uh, why should I be wondering? Obviously, even the bank has it.
"If it's tasteful, then the problem is serious, okay?" The Pope sneered: "This kind of mass-consumption product is the bulk of the operating income, and you guy, who is in deficit every year, really has no right to talk too much in this regard." ”
"Well, if I hadn't appeared, you might not even be able to get the research funds for the guidance." Lu Xi hurriedly seized the opportunity to mend the knife.
"Who, who said it. Even if I'm really nervous about cash, it's a big deal to go to the bank to borrow money, just brush my face! Orucello responded in a not too convincing way, and then looked at the barrel that Lu Xi had brought over: "I can smell the problem through the oak when I buy this wine, obviously the timing of fermentation is wrong!" I only like the dwarven Tarian brew. Although the ale itself is not tasteful, if you can accept the slightly bitter taste, you can still feel the real mellow in the end. In comparison, ordinary ale wine is nothing but foam and alcohol! ”
"I'm so sorry! With the supply of the boats, there was only this kind of thing that was useless except foam and alcohol. Speaking of which, I was surprised by the fact that there were so many alcoholic beverages in the war provisions! Could it be that some Dragon Knights and Templars rely on drinking to restore their rage gauge in order to amplify their moves? Lu Xi apologized earnestly: "...... But when I get home, I'll treat you to a pure Tarian, right? Uh, no, by that time, Glenrichia will have you all you can drink. ”
"Oh? So bold? The old man squinted at Lu Xi: "That's a limited edition of famous wine." ”
"It's okay, it's a big deal to buy the winery. Your disciple, I, actually lack everything now, but I am not short of money...... Ah, yes, two lifetimes ago, I thought that one day I would be able to say such things confidently, and now, the youth of the Sprinkle family can be so regretless! ”
Lu Xi said as he poured a full wine glass for the other party and handed it over: "Anyway, it's all bad wine, and the not very good ale wine should be better to accept than the not very good red wine, right?" Wouldn't it be interesting to pair it with unflavored grilled fish that can only be paired with salt and kelp, and to provide a sergeant with rations to quench his hunger? Doesn't it remind you of the eventful years of the past? For example, with the Pope, and my teachers...... Ah no, His Highness Sidligit, the years when they were adventuring together? ”
The Pope was slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and he showed a red glow like a girl. Of course, it could also be because she had just drunk a large jar of ale. Although she is the chief general of the clergy, Ms. Yasti does not seem to shy away from alcohol, which is a "degrading" thing.
"You mean to talk about the master, right? I must be talking about my wife, right? I heard you! The final change of words is even more suspicious! Orucello's eyes widened in the face of Lu Xi's malicious ridicule, and said loudly: "I told you everything, we are pure friendship!" ”
He seemed to be excited, so he didn't touch the ale, but directly took out a bottle of spirits with a much more exciting taste from the wine bottle, and really bit the plug with his mouth like a green-skinned old mercenary who had been mixing in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and drank most of the bottle directly after three times five divided by two.
"Well, yes, sure enough, bad wine is more delicious when you drink it with memories."
Lu Xi looked at the other party with a breathtaking gaze - even if it was such a rude gesture, but in Orucello it was still able to show just the right sense of rhythm and indescribable vicissitudes of charm - he suddenly felt that if he could have this level at the age of fifty, this life would be considered complete. I didn't see the Pope next to him, although he shook his head with a rude smile at the old man, the brilliance in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.
He smiled heartily: "Yes, little Luxi, you at least understand that I will either only drink the strongest spirits, or I will only drink the best wine!" The former is how I want to deal with the world, and the latter is how the world should face me. ”
"I missed a lot, but I never regretted it, and I left enough legends and legacies for this world. Hehehe, Xiao Luxi, when you reach my age and have such an awareness, then I am at least sure that the last and most important decision I have made in this life will be the most correct decision. ”
"You can really burden me as a disciple!" Lu Xi pursed his lips: "...... Okay okay, I'm a little lost now, a little tangled, a little unoriented. Can you tell me what you did when you were so old? By the way, I must focus on talking about Heyixia, as well as the three masters, ah, no, His Royal Highness Sidrigit. ”
"This time you just said it! Stinky boy, hasn't it been a while since you have been trained, and you are ready to rebel? ”
"It's all this age, and there are still so many people watching, but don't rely on the old man to sell and play drunk crazy at his age!"
"When I'm drunk, I've never been crazy because of age and seniority, when I'm as old as you, I've already beaten all the sons and brothers of the ten major gate valves of the Federation with alcohol, and after beating them, I will tremble with my legs when I see them. Oh, by the way, the seaweed-headed grandfather you're talking about, Turner's father, is one of them. Well, that's a wonderful memory, and I really need to savor it. ”
With Lu Xi's prestige and strength today, no one dares to say that he lost Orucello? Belencaster's face. However, it was also after he was sixteen years old that the system's golden thighs officially began to run, and the protagonist's aura shone in all directions from then on, and he had the reputation of "genius". However, his teacher was different, and he had already made a name for himself since childhood. No one would doubt that he would inevitably become one of the greatest spellcasters in the history of the Bachelor League and the entire world, and in his time, there was not even a "one...... Well, maybe Orucello's younger brother, another Drence possessed by the protagonist's aura? Talos had a different opinion, so he showed dissent, and he went from being a pride of the sky to a terrorist, and hid for most of his life.
It's a bit unreasonable to say that there are no conspiracy theories here. So, this has become the "black spot" that Orucello's attackers have been using, although Lu Xi also dared to hold Justin Bieber with his middle finger and swear on the dark Bible, this is really no black spot, just two older middle two people who have loved and killed each other all their lives, full of warmth and a touch of sadness.
However, today, when Orucello has been called the "Dawn Teacher" and "King of the Arcane", even the person who speaks ill of him behind his back is almost non-existent. But in the same way, few people already know, as if the Orucello who was favored by heaven? Belencaster, in fact, was born in a publicly-funded orphanage in Elichar. This is specially set up to take care of the orphans of soldiers and martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, so that the Sky Federation that expresses freedom and democracy is the country of great hope for human civilization. Of course, which martyr's orphan can really be taken care of, that is a metaphysical question similar to the lottery.
Fortunately, Orucello is indeed one of them. He showed his magical talent at a very young age, and was quickly sent to a junior class specially prepared for the children of young geniuses (most nobles) - the federation ruled by the Arcane giants, in fact, the class solidification is comparable to the thousand-year-old empires on the ground, but the ruling body of the country has a very clear head and knows very well the source of its true power - and soon, he stood out again in a very short time, and at the age of seven, he directly entered the Central Academy of Magic of Nadia, He studied with older children who were five years older than him.
Then, it took him five years to complete what others would have taken seven or eight years to graduate—the result of a deliberate suppression by the Central Academy of Magic. It is said that it is because if you let Orucello skip a grade too much, you may seem to be very stupid as educators.
"Yes, Xiao Luxi, I was much better than you at that time!"
"That was before the age of sixteen! If I had entered the Academy of Magic when I was seven years old, maybe the system would have been ...... Oh no, you can be heroic at that time, and at the age of twelve, it's not just about graduating! I don't know if the school has to ask me to stay as a professor. If you play some super friendship with some teachers, it will never be better! Then again, Teacher, you must have been the kind of nasty genius child who liked to squint at people. In terms of popularity, it must be far behind, right? ”
Well, that's all 80 years ago, so we don't have to worry about it for now. After graduating three years and earning two (ordinary) degrees in engineering and naturalism, at the age of fifteen, he entered the disciple of Kartass, the contemporary family of the Isle of Colorful Roses, and began a legendary life.
"I left the Federation when I was twenty years old and started my adventures, and that's when I met Renus, Hitty and Onnie, uh, of course, and you, Ashie...... I destroyed the headquarters of the Ryłoro Cult, killed their leader and the Descendant, killed the Abyss Lord Fasatel, and was called the 'Evil Slayer', I saved the kingdom of Rodria that had been corrupted by chaos and imprisoned in the Endless Night Dimension, and brought them the first light of dawn in 300 years, and received the title of 'Dawn Mentor', I killed the evil dragon Moment and was called the 'Dragon Slayer', and I became the Great Magister at the age of twenty-five, the first in history, so I was also called the 'King of Arcania'. The old master said, "However, the greatest achievement is by no means these. ”
"Wait! I don't want to hear you talk about the legend of the Evil Suppressor Dawn Mentor Offa King who has already heard the calloused in my ears, why don't I focus on the previous one, you and Your Highness Sidligit, no, my master, their ...... Ah! ”
"I've already said it right, why do you want to change it back!" Orucello withdrew the staff he had knocked on Lu Xi's head, and then said, "I brought the guiding force, yes, this should be the greatest legacy I left to the world, right?" It's definitely not one of those new spells that ordinary people will never be able to touch...... It should be, right? Little Luxi? ”
"Definitely! The father of the world's guiding force must be much cooler than all the previous nicknames! Even if it is a thousand years from now, ten thousand years later, the people of this world have been freed from the shackles of gravity and set foot on the sea of stars, your name will still be the one that shines the most. Guidance, everything promoted by guidance, the development of science and technology, the take-off of productivity, and the transformation of society, this is your greatest achievement! I've brought their prototypes, have you? ”
"No, it's not my greatest achievement!" Orucello suddenly smiled and looked deeply at his beloved disciple.
“…… Teacher. Lu Xi couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at his disciple's eyes, Orucello suddenly thought of his last look when his teacher Karthas was lying on the bed. At that time, Drence had just escaped from the Federation and was a wanted man. The disciple who was brought up by himself has become such a lawless anti-system element, and the teacher Karthas at that time must be more sad than dead, right? No wonder his eyes were filled with such deep worry and uneasiness.
"Orucello Yo ......"
"Don't worry, teacher! Sooner or later, I'll skin that stinky boy from Drense and cramp it, crush his bones and scatter ashes, and then sprinkle his ashes on your grave and apologize to you! ”
"Who wants you to do that! No matter how you say it, you can't get to that point, right? When it was time to die, the dying mage coughed for a long time, and then he carefully calmed down and said slowly: "I'm worried about you, Orucello. Your pride is in your bones. You are high up and treat all beings as mortals, even if they are gods, and you don't pay attention to them at all. In the future, will you not be able to look down on a girl or a young man, marry a daughter-in-law, or accept an apprentice, and eventually live alone? And then take all the inheritance left by the great sage of Laxis into the belly? ”
“…… Ahem, ahem, if the teacher hadn't been suddenly angry with that kid from Drennes, he would have found a way to set you up for a family affair. The Colorful Rose vein, even if it really becomes that vulgar family style in the future, it is better than breaking the vein? Death is not blind, woo coo...... "and, that's it, sick and dead."
Well, although it is indeed a bit of a suspicion of unfilial piety to know that this way, at the funeral of Teacher Karthas, Orucello was really a little grateful to Drense.
Actually, you are really too pessimistic! I surpass you in every way, Mr. Karthas, and even in education, my disciples are better than yours!
"All in all, it's a perfect life. So many things have happened, and today, I feel like I've had a long dream. He laughed, then raised the sepiolite pipe in his hand.
At this time, Lu Xi also felt that his cheeks were a little hot. Only then did he realize that he had drunk four bottles of strong rum and half a barrel of ale with the teacher.
“…… After drinking, what should I do next? ”
"Hehe, I have to learn to enjoy life like this for you. Speaking of which, Karin gave me a barrel of tobacco to pass it on to you. It is said to be the moon-long leaves of the Goult High Land, and then the best flue-cured tobacco masters, roasted with the best fragrant pear wine, and stored in barrels of purple maple with its own aroma. Well, let me look for ......" Lu Xi began to rummage through the contents of his space bag.
On the other side, Orucello looked at the busy disciples, but smiled at the female pope, as if one look had completed all the exchanges.
"You're a man...... "Yasdi?" Bruncht smiled wryly. Like all ordinary women who are immersed in small but sure happiness, she gently rested her head on Orucello's shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.
"Teacher, how's it going, tobacco has been found...... How's it going, it's very fragrant when you open it, right? Well, I ...... I'll help you get ...... Smell it, right? It's really fragrant. Teacher, actually...... Actually, you didn't teach me everything...... The last time you spit out a smoke ring and spit out a question mark, you spit out an SB, and I felt cool! Cooler than all the forbidden spells! Wait until...... Wait until you get home...... Needless to say, it seems that the sand is getting into the eyes, well, into the eyes. ”
Lu Xi's twenty-first birthday was spent on this small island located in the ocean of the setting sun, far from the mainland. However, on this day, after just twenty hours, Lu Xi once again lost the most important person in his life who really played the role of a father.
