Chapter 178: Barbecue and Red Wine
The cold wind blew across the vast sea, making this cold winter night seem even longer, and Alsace walked towards the south in despair, and the lonely figure looked extremely lonely. Unlike Anduin and Gianna, Arthas did not have a system to protect him, and he also lost the Pearl Magic Stone, and he was stunned by the impact, and fell into the cold and hard sea ice, smashing straight through the ice and falling into the sea, thanks to the legendary physique is extremely strong, otherwise he will be lucky to get rid of the frost sorrow, and he will die in the sea.
Climbing back to the ice, Arthas was unable to get up, and the sea water stained with the broken armor quickly condensed into ice when it was blown by the cold wind, bringing a biting chill to Arthas, and little by little infiltrated his heroic bloodline, filling the void left by the extreme cold element.
Holy Light Naru erased the Extreme Cold Element in Arthas's body, but did not restore his physical condition to the original state, the silver hair that faded from the golden light is the best proof, in addition, Arthas's heroic bloodline was also eroded by the Extreme Cold Element, although the pearl magic stone made the erosion speed extremely slow, and the Holy Light Naru also erased the Extreme Cold element, but his heroic bloodline wants to heal on its own, it takes enough physical strength and time.
However, the sudden attack of the frost dragon caused Arthas to be attacked by cold again, but the natural elements that permeate the heavens and the earth are not as violent as the extreme cold elements, so they will only have a negligible impact on him, and even the final effect is good or bad, although the power of the hero's bloodline has been lost, it can give Arthas the ability to control the ice, and if it is controlled properly, it can produce a lot of improvement.
However, at this moment, a ghostly light suddenly came to Arthas's side.
The corroded Ashbringer, Arthas, who had been picked up by the Frost Sorrow, was thrown aside, but due to the urgency of the situation, Fordin had no chance to take it back, causing it to fall to the surface of the sea near Arthas due to the demigod bombardment.
The Ember Bringer was suspended in mid-air, the dark green skull on the sword's body, smiling as he looked at Arthas as he fell to the ground.
At the beginning, Fordin used him through Boval's chest as a temporary seal, but it was also constantly subjected to the corruption of Frost's sorrow, the extremely cold element from the elemental god and the depraved/fallen evil energy of the Abyss Lord, polluting the energy core of the Ash Bringer, making this famous divine sword become an awe-inspiring corrupt evil sword, it sensed the presence of Arthas, and found the vacant part of the hero's bloodline, which should have belonged to the extremely cold element.
Like a bird returning to its nest, the Ember Bringer couldn't wait to find Arthas, and fell into his outstretched palm.
……
A cup of warm tiramisu didn't even last for sixty seconds, and was drunk by the secretly happy Gianna, perhaps because she felt that her performance was too gaffe, like a little girl who had never seen the world, and couldn't control her curiosity and desire, so she deliberately bit the straw and paused for a long time, occasionally making a sucking appearance, showing that she did not lose her elegance and demeanor because the milk tea was delicious.
"Although the straw is clean, the habit of biting the straw is not very good."
Anduin had to be reminded that he didn't understand why the pearl of the dignified Divine Empire Admiral's palm, the closed disciple of Chief Master Dalaran, liked to bite the straw more than drink milk tea, and looking at her tireless appearance, it seemed that the attraction of tiramisu was far inferior to the tube between the pink lips and silver teeth.
Gianna took a deep breath, forced herself to maintain her composure, casually put the milk tea cup she regarded as a miscellaneous object, put it into the space ring, and said lightly with empty eyes: "I was thinking about something else just now." ”
“…… Oh. ”
Looking at Gianna's pale red cheeks, Anduin replied noncommittally, just now she had been staring at the barbecue intently, probably very hungry, after all, Blackmore's reputation is still there, and he has been chasing and killing for two days, the double pressure of psychology and physiology is unimaginable, Anduin flipped the barbecue and carried out the final processing, and said empathetically: "If you can't wait, let's eat a piece of tiramisu cake first?" ”
After speaking, Andu made another joke because of adjusting the atmosphere: "The taste of cake should be much better than straws." ”
Gianna took a deep breath again, and successively embarrassed in front of Anduin, and "miserable" ridicule, she was usually moody, and suddenly said with a straight face with some annoyance: "No need! I'm going to meditate to recover, please be quiet! ”
Anduin was stunned, and could only sigh that a woman's face was really faster than turning a book, so he shrugged his shoulders and continued to barbecue, he was so hungry that his chest was against his back anyway, since Gianna didn't want to be disturbed, it was just so that he could eat all-you-can-eat, and he didn't need to roast a second serving.
Smelling the aroma of the meat, Anduin sprinkles the seasoning from time to time, or uses a knife to make incisions to promote the barbecue to be seasoned enough and heated evenly. The cave that accommodates the two of them is not very big, so the whole space is filled with delicious meat, and Gianna, who is already absent-minded, can only close her eyes and pretend to meditate, but instead strengthens her sense of smell and hearing.
The more she didn't want to smell the aroma, the more the enchanting smell crept into her nose, evoking pent-up cravings for a meal every time Anduin applied a new spice or fell into the fire with the oil.
Damn it!
Gianna scolded in her heart, if it weren't for chasing Blackmore and completing her trial mission, she wouldn't have been hungry for two days in a row, a cup of tiramisu, although it warms her heart and stomach, makes her hunger warm up and become more wanton. Gianna was holding the mana crystal, hoping that it would turn into a delicious food so that she wouldn't have to be angry with that guy anymore.
Wait a minute......
Isn't there still some food in my ring space?
She had a flash of inspiration and was secretly happy in her heart, but she was just about to take out the food when she heard a crisp sound, it was...... Plate? Gianna closed her eyes and imagined Anduin's movements in her mind, he put the fragrant barbecue on the plate, and used a sharp kitchen knife to cut off the meat slices one by one, because the five senses of the fourth-order mage were too acute, she could clearly hear the sound of the kitchen knife cutting the meat and the meat slices falling on the plate, not to mention the mouth-watering rich aroma, which immediately made her dispel the idea of "self-reliance".
The pastries in the ring space are delicious, but the cold and hard dough is no match for the steaming crispy barbecue, which is an undoubted fact in a hungry situation!
Gianna would rather be a cold and noble little fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, rather than be compared to this guy who is full of nonsense!
What's more, she just said that she wanted to meditate, which is tantamount to cocooning herself, and the most infuriating thing is that even if she takes out the pastry, it is estimated that the taste is not as good as the cake that the alias took me away.
After repeating herself and losing face twice in front of Anduin, Gianna felt that she had to defend her last dignity to the death.
However, dignity is such a thing as a mysterious thing, and the more you care about it, the more it dislikes you.
Anduin cut the barbecue in three times and two times, and laid out the whole plate full, he thought about it, and then took out a knife and fork and put it on the left and right, the napkin was pinned to his chest, the red wine was placed at hand, the firelight was swaying behind him, and the beauty was in sight, and he could see this scene in the long cold night, so that Anduin was very pleased with the silent smile, poured half a glass of red wine for himself, and used the cold wind as a musical accompaniment, and began to enjoy himself.
Can it still be like this?
Gianna gently opened her eyes, narrowed into a line, and looked at Anduin in the firelight, extremely gentlemanly and hateful eating alone.
Isn't our current situation a disaster?
How do you look left and right, you are like a tourist?
Not to mention red wine and knives and forks, what is the condition of napkins?
How many miscellaneous things are in your space installation?
Perhaps because of the deep resentment, Gianna's lips gradually pursed, and her pretty face was puffed up, but she didn't see the slightest anger, only the narrowed eyes, flashing with a cold and cold light, forced Anduin to stop the knife and fork, and asked embarrassedly: "Ahem, am I bothering you?" ”
Gianna, who was recognized, took a deep breath for the third time, as if she had made up her mind, dragged the cushion and sat opposite Anduin, and asked elegantly without blushing or panting, "Have you prepared my share?" ”
Anduin was stunned, and said in his heart that he just listened to you, didn't he decide not to eat? He looked at the full plate and replied tentatively, "There should be...... Is it? ”
"There should be."
The corners of Gianna's mouth were slightly hooked, and her blue eyes flickered: "After all, there is no gentleman who will make the lady at the other table hungry." ”
Yes, we have to be busy again.
Anduin, helpless, as if a trickster, took out some more cutlery, and put the original plate in the middle, he was not prepared to take on the arduous task of dividing the meal himself, lest he face the problem of "gentleman and lady" again, Gianna seemed very satisfied with his approach, but still deliberately said: "It would be better if there was one more cup." ”
"You're going to drink?" Anduin was afraid that the lady opposite him would say that he was a gentleman with bad intentions, so he was not prepared to take out the cup.
"Why not?" Gianna's answer was the same as Sonia's back then, but she added, "Please fill me, Venerable Incarnation of Light!" Starlight red wine from the Elven Empire is very rare! ”
"Ahem...... Good. ”
Anduin thought about it, since Gianna knew this kind of red wine, he should understand that it is very easy to get started, and if he goes down with a glass, he will not be unconscious, but he will completely let go of his psychological defense line to vent his stress and fatigue, so under normal circumstances, he only dares to drink about half a glass, which is still because today's environment is more suitable for the situation.
Seeing that most of the bottles of starlight red wine were about to bottom out, Anduin felt more and still had a pain in his flesh, this is a famous wine that is more precious than Dalaran red wine, and it is one of the few treasures in Tyrenus's reward that he did not exchange for mana crystals, recalling that Gianna solved the problem of Berval's life, he estimated that it was not easy for him to ask for wine money, so he simply poured the rest into his cup.
During the whole process, Gianna took in the changes in Anduin's expression, she had heard of the name of Starlight Red Wine, knew its characteristics, and knew its value, but she didn't know the details of this red wine, so she said that it was full for a small revenge on Anduin.
Anduin was eating barbecue with his head bored, and he felt that filling his stomach quickly was the best way to relieve the pain of meat.
Gianna first picked up the starlight red wine, looked at the intoxicating light spots suspended in the red wine, like the starry sky of the universe, tasted it with great joy, and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" ”
In fact, with Gianna's age and experience, she can't tell the quality of red wine at all, anyway, she is happy to drink it now, she thinks it is good wine, Anduin was busy stuffing a few more pieces of barbecue meat into her mouth, almost choked, and hurriedly took a sip of wine, but suddenly found that Gianna's wine glass was half empty, and there were only a few stars left in the original full glass, and the rest were all shining in those blue eyes.
If Eliza's eyes are as deep as the starry sky, then Gianna's eyes are as wonderful as the starry sky, and the pretty face that can be blown and broken has become beautiful because of the red glow.
She seemed to be in good spirits, and while picking up the knife and fork, she gave Anduin a blank look: "What do you see?" ”
"Hmm......" Anduin asked cautiously, "how are you feeling now?" ”
Gianna didn't answer immediately, she gently pulled her long shawl hair behind her ears, revealing her red ears, she didn't care about Anduin's eyes, she ate the barbecue by herself, and showed a very enjoyable look: "Very good! The barbecue tastes good, the starlight wine tastes good, and the tiramisu tastes good, except that the current environment is a little bad, and with your presence, it can't be better. ”
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Anduin took it as a compliment, but when he heard "more of your existence", he also drank starlight red wine, and immediately couldn't bear it: "What do you mean by too much me?" ”
Gianna still didn't answer immediately, and ate a lot of barbecue meat gracefully and quickly, and only after drinking all the starlight red wine, she said bluntly: "You are a hateful fellow! ”
"Hey! I won't accept what you say, but now make it clear to me! ”
Although Anduin knew that it was because of the starlight wine, he was still very angry, since he saw Gianna, he had behaved like a gentleman everywhere, and he felt that even if he couldn't reach the point of perfection, he shouldn't be evaluated as "hateful"!
Gianna smiled, the laughter was pleasant, the smile was pleasant, the starry eyes were shining, looking at the indignant Anduin, the slender fingers held the empty wine glass, and followed the white wrist and shook it gently: "You guy, at first glance, is still a decent gentleman, but in fact, it is not the same as what it is, not to mention whether your special ability comes from the Holy Light, just your relationship with Presto, hmph, I can see that you are definitely not as upright as you seem." ”
As soon as he heard Presto, Anduin's expression changed, he estimated that Gianna must know something, in order to relieve the tension, he took a sip of starlight red wine, but Gianna looked at him and laughed: "Haha! I've got the handle, are you scared? Presto's question can escape other people's eyes, but it can't escape mine! You know his identity, but you deliberately don't reveal it, what is it for? ”
The wine gradually rose, Gianna no longer deliberately maintained a sitting position, her white arms supported her cheeks, her face was crooked, and she looked directly at Anduin, her eyes were full of a narrow smile: "Let me guess, you should be on the lookout for the radicals in Dalaran and the Terrenus father and son, after all, there is a royal family member as an internal response, and you can always avoid many problems, Anduin, it seems that you are very insecure!" But come to think of it, your fathers were entangled, and there were some things that you had to guard against, and if Terenus could do that, Arthas could do the same. ”
Hearing this, Anduin took a sip of wine and asked in a deep voice, "Since you also know about Presto's problem, why did you hide it from Arthas?" ”
"I'm not obligated to tell him!" Gianna sat up straight, trying to get some more barbecue, but her body couldn't muster her strength, so she muttered to Anduin, "Hey, give me some barbecue, not too fat, not too thin, well, just a few pieces, put them back." ”
Not to mention lazy, not to mention how cheerful to eat the barbecue, Gianna threw away the knife and fork, and poured the whole into the soft cushion, she didn't care about the problem of walking at all, just wanted to find the most comfortable position, but a pair of white long legs appeared in front of Anduin's eyes, but he didn't care about these, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you and Arthas lovers?" Why didn't you tell him such important news? ”
"Lovers? Not enough! Gianna played with her blonde hair, a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, "I just have a good feeling for him, and I have only been together for a month, and the teacher seems to have written a letter to Terenus, wanting to match me and Arthas, or many days of contact, should become lovers, right?" But these are also maybe, Blackmore is dead, my trial mission is completed, it should take a lot of time, before I can be promoted to legendary mage, when the time comes, I will be able to move freely, if there is no accident, I should go to Stormwind Town for a few days, hey, are you welcome? ”
Anduin finished drinking his starlight red wine and shook his head solemnly: "No! I don't like girls who are too smart. ”
"Shhhh Who wants you to like it? You can't match Alsace's status, and your talent is ...... Well, when it comes to talent, you're better. Gianna looked at Anduin's empty wine glass and licked her pink lips, "What a good wine!" If only I could have some more. Oh, where did you just go? Yes, you are far worse than Alsace...... Wait, in fact, it's not much worse, seeing him again, it's much worse than the original impression, no longer sunny and tall, but more careerist, I know that he is fighting for the overthrow of the Holy Empire, but choosing to use the frost of sorrow is too disappointing. ”
Gianna didn't hide her feelings, and a pair of phoenix eyes were fixed on Anduin's starry eyes: "Hey, you say, when today's events spread throughout the Holy Empire, is it possible for Arthas and I to become lovers?" ”
After saying that, Gianna asked herself: "No, there is no such possibility, Arthas is really disappointing......
