"I'm not called a follower!"

Red yelled angrily, and the old lord glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "The reason why Orgrim agreed to let you stay here is to let you take advantage of this to reflect, if you still refuse to accept fate, then I can only say that the next Blackstone Chief will never be you." ”

Red opened his mouth, not daring to refute the old lord's opinion, in the Blackstone tribe, the call for his younger brother to inherit the chieftain was growing louder and louder, and his old father, as if he had decided to say this, gradually shifted his eyes that had been concentrated on him to the side.

This time he led the wolf rider to attack Stormwind Town, of course, to find out the cause of Black Fist's death, but in fact, Red also wanted to take advantage of this to distract himself and temporarily stay away from the depressed family that was about to make him breathless, but the result was, not only did his mood not improve, but because of various treatments, it became worse, he was angry in his heart, and said to Anduin very stubbornly: "Even if you kill me, I won't eat anything here!" ”

"Good!"

Anduin nodded decisively, he couldn't ask for this, Red's block was the size of two Hera Tieli, and it was not ordinary difficult to feed this guy, and Anduin was very inclined to starve him when he was not sure who would pay for it.

Jones took the dinner recipe he and Van Cleef had drawn up, and walked over with a smile: "Old man, you just came here, you shouldn't be familiar with the Hearthstone Inn, or join us for dinner today, these fourteen home-cooked dishes have their own flavors, you might as well try the taste first." ”

The old gentleman waved his hand: "When I left the fortress in the morning, I was thinking about the fried steak, so I won't eat it with you tonight." ”

"Ahem!"

Anduin coughed, and had to make an unwritten rule: "Old man, normally, I don't serve food outside the menu, the main reason is that most meals need a long preparation time to achieve the best flavor, such as the pan-fried steak you ordered, it will not be until tomorrow noon at the earliest, I can't just make a copy to fool you, in my place, you can eat the best." ”

Of course, Anduin has another unspoken reason that although Gourmet No. 1 can work all night without sleep, it will still be a little too busy to get close to the peak of dining, and when there are more regulars in the hotel, Anduin will have to build Gourmet No. 2 in order to keep up with the supply, but this requires further system permissions, which is why he is so eager to get Red's legendary card to achieve the second phase of [I am a Collector] reward.

Hearing this, the old lord laughed: "On the way, I heard Van Cleef say that your Hearthstone Inn is different, I didn't expect it to be like this, okay, in order to eat the best pan-fried steak, I can wait, and I will eat with Jones and a few of them in the evening......"

"Home cooking!"

"Yes, home cooking." The old gentleman then looked at the wine cabinet behind the bar and smiled, "But I don't have to drink and have to wait, right?" Tsk, you kid is really atmospheric, the extremely precious Dalaran red wine is actually placed with ordinary wine! ”

In order to take care of the old man's emotions, Van Cleef said directly: "This shouldn't be used. ”

However, Anduin shrugged helplessly: "It's a pity, I have to wait." ”

"Huh? Do you have to wait? ”

Van Cleef's face was surprised, and the old lord and the others also looked the same, they didn't understand that they were just drinking, what else did they have to wait for? The orc Red was even more confused, wouldn't he be able to pour the lid into his mouth by lifting the lid of the drink?

Anduin didn't immediately explain the reason, walked to the bar and took out the Dalaran red wine that the old man said, the glass technology of this world is already mature, so when he picked up the wine and pointed it at the light, he could clearly see a magnificent dark red, as well as the subtle precipitation at the bottom of the wine.

Seeing this, Jones thought he knew the truth, shook his head and smiled: "I thought there was some way, it turned out to be about changing bottles, look at your troublesome appearance, I thought it would take a long time?" ”

In the ancient West, the production process of red wine was not perfect, and sediment often appeared in the aged wine bottle, so in order to isolate the pure wine, it was often necessary to change the bottle, this method has long become a consensus for the current Holy Empire, so the old lord and others saw Anduin open the wine bottle and slowly pour the red wine into another glass container, revealing a strange look.

"President Jones, President Van Cleef, you've been with me for a few days, and you've drunk a few bottles of wine, though most of the beer you drink." Anduin held the glass container and shook it gently, making the strange wine color more and more gorgeous in the light, "Don't you see, what's the difference?" ”

Jones and Van Cleef couldn't help but glance at each other, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, in order to take care of the feelings of their wallets, they didn't dare to drink too expensive red wine, plus they were in a hurry to eat various meals, and they didn't feel any difference?

Wait a minute......

Van Cleef suddenly remembered that at the banquet of the Winter Veil Festival, he used to drink wine with everyone, the wine was not special, it was a best-selling product of the Holy Empire, no matter which class had the opportunity to drink it, but for some reason, Van Cleef felt that the taste of red wine at that time was very soft, and there was no sour feeling in the past, he thought it was just an illusion at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to be another mystery.

Van Cleef immediately expressed his opinion, and Anduin, who had been shaking the glass container, smiled and nodded: "That's not your delusion, it's just the necessary wait, so that the red wine will fade away from its acidity and fully show its mellow attitude." ”

The old lord rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought: "Listening to you say this, it seems that the situation is indeed like this, every time you drink wine at home, no matter how good the quality is, the taste is not as good as that of the banquet drink, counting, the banquet always consumes some time unconsciously, presumably it should be the reason." ”

Jones wondered, "What is the reason why you can get better after a while?" ”

Anduin did not directly indicate that the presence of tannins and mercaptans in red wine makes the wine rough, but only roughly described their function: "The older the wine, the more it will produce a substance during the period of storage, which you can understand as decay, which affects the taste, and after waiting for a while, these decays that have nowhere to go will melt into the air, and the taste will naturally improve, and my shaking action now accelerates this process." ”

"Hey, I didn't expect that after drinking all my life, I still can't drink." The old lord laughed to himself, "Anduin, you have shown me a long time!" ”

"Don't dare."

"Eh, what dare you do? When I go back to the fortress, I must meet those old guys, one by one, they are going to die, I wish I had all the good wine with me, hmph, what's the use of more good wine? I can't even drink it, it's not a waste of things! ”

The old man looked at the Dalaran red wine in Anduin's hand, his eyes showed a strange light, and he smiled sincerely: "This Dalaran red wine is really good!" Since you've told me the right way to drink, I'm going to tell you a piece of history today...... Tsk, what are you guys doing so close? ”

Jones glanced around viciously, forcing back the surging explorers, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Don't be surprised, old man, we are all used to it." ”

The old lord waved his hand and sighed abruptly: "I also had a young age, and I was also curious about the stories told by my elders, and now what I want to say is related to this bottle of Dalaran red wine, I think you should know that before the Holy Empire, there was a short and brilliant magical civilization, right?" ”

Anduin nodded slightly, and in the conversation between Benedictas and Lynn, he heard the existence of the Magic Empire.

"Like this bottle of wine, the name of this country is Dalaran, and it is home to an endless number of outstanding mages whose talent and prowess even the elves who teach magic are admired. You know, after the fall of the Elven Empire, they are still facing the danger of extinction, and they cultivate humans just to defend against the old enemy trolls and the dirty things made by the Twilight cultists. ”

The old lord couldn't help laughing: "But they didn't expect that the human beings who were once ruled by them rose at an unparalleled speed precisely because of this opportunity, not only beating the trolls back to their hometown, but also erasing the vast majority of evil existences, and the remnants of the elves who wanted to continue to rule the human race also tasted the price of underestimating the human race, and had to choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests." ”

"Huh? So why did the Magic Empire only exist for a few decades? ”

"There are many reasons, but according to the Holy See, the root cause is that human beings have mastered power, but there is no perfect will to match the power, and the rapid development of the magical society has indeed made Dalaran's expansion speed reach an extremely exaggerated limit, but internal problems have gradually grown, and many outstanding mages have been controlled by power and made some unbelievable moves, and their every move has shaken the social foundation of the Magic Empire."

Speaking of this, the old lord suddenly paused, and then said in a heavy tone: "What caused Dalaran to suddenly collapse was a legendary mage named Khadgar, whose magic experiments inadvertently opened the gates of hell, allowing those evil beings who helped the ancient gods to destroy the Elven Empire to make a comeback and launch an attack on this young magical society in the belly of the empire. ”

As the words fell, everyone, including Red, fell into deep thought, except for Anduin, who looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Hmmm......"

[This ......]

"Seems ......"

【What's ......】

"Wrong place!"
