Chapter 66: Wonderful Fate and Red's Struggle
Anduin's thinking is a little confused, because in the plot of World of Warcraft, it is Khadgar's teacher who helps the demon invade, and Khadgar is the great hero of the conspiracy to destroy it.
He suddenly remembered something: "Bring up the data of that divination pointer for me." ”
Card Name: Khadgar's Divination Orb (Golden)
Card Type: Item/Special
Occupation: General
Card Level: Special
Crystal Fee: None
Card Effect: Enhance the effect of divination
Card Description: This is a divination item from the Magic Empire, and in the dark, there is a trace of wonderful fate that is maintained on its body.
"Can you scan out the specific meaning of this wonderful fate?"
[Well, no, this is like the original rune egg, I can only find that it has a connection with the outside world, but I can't get the target and location of the contact. 】
"Well, the original question has finally been answered, why Khadgar's things fell into Lynn's hands, apparently part of the reason was that they were once in the same camp, or maybe it was the demagogy of the Twilight believers that made Khadgar betray the Magic Empire."
Anduin came to the conclusion with a strange face, the old lord didn't see his appearance, but sighed to himself: "On the way here, I heard Van Cleef say something about the Hearthstone Inn, de-religionization is a trendy decision, and I also know that you have a lot of complaints about the high-pressure policies issued by the Holy See, but in fact, the compulsory course for every pope is to reflect on the reasons for the fall of the Elven Empire and the Magic Empire, and it is precisely in order to suppress the infinite expansion of desire/hope that so many harsh dogmas will appear. ”
The old lord stood up, patted the bar, looked at the lights, and nodded again and again: "But now it seems that these dogmas have some effect, but they are only a symptom rather than a cure, and the Twilight believers have infiltrated every corner of the empire unconsciously, and their behavior is no different from ordinary people, maybe there are a few of you who are hidden." ”
This sentence really frightened everyone, and they all looked at each other and shook their heads violently.
The old lord smiled: "Haha, in fact, it is far from exaggerating to that extent, otherwise the Holy Empire would have collapsed a long time ago, and you don't need to take my negotiations with Orgrim too seriously, maybe most of the content is just reminiscing about the past, chatting and scolding, by the way, Anduin, when the time comes, you have to make a good table, and you can't lose the face of our Holy Empire in front of the orcs." ”
"Don't worry, it's all on me."
Anduin nodded slightly, and poured out half a glass of Dalaran red wine, which had been shaking for a while, and everyone looked at the old lord rushing up with an arrow, smelling the intoxicating aroma of wine, and was amazed: "Although the magic empire has fallen, Dalaran has always existed, I went there once a few years ago, I have to say, they are very good at red wine brewing, although it is only a new wine that has just been produced, it also makes me feel a long aftertaste." ”
As he spoke, the old lord took a sip, his eyes slowly closed, revealing satisfaction, and after a long time, he smiled and said: "It is said that the wine made by the legendary mage himself will let the drinker see the illusion of the Magic Empire, I always thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true." Oh! By the way, I have to say, after waiting for a while, the wine did taste a little smoother, well, very good...... Hey! What are you going to do? ”
"Uh...... Drink! ”
"Who made you drink? Do you know how precious this bottle is? Take the cups out of the way for me! ”
The old gentleman angrily dispersed Jones and the others, and even Van Cleeff didn't give face: "You are young, what wine do you drink?" Just drink beer, go and go, don't grab it from me, and when the meal is ready, remember to call me. ”
Red looked at a group of explorers and architects all with resentment and reluctance to leave, not to mention how happy it was in his heart, but he looked at the old man's satisfied expression, and suddenly wanted to see the exotic customs of Dalaran, but with another rumbling sound coming from his abdomen, all kinds of food appeared in his mind, so that he had to hold his stomach, and thought with some hatred: "If you don't eat, you won't eat, isn't it just seven days?" When I was younger, I even had a record of not eating for ten days, and I was able to carry it if I persisted! ”
After making up his mind, he finally made Red forget about his hunger for a while, and hurriedly walked to the corner alone in order to avoid the rich aroma of wine from arousing the cravings again.
The old lord found Anduin looking at Red, and laughed softly: "Don't worry, this kid won't make any trouble, come on, I'll pour you a glass, just wish Fording a safe return." ”
Bite!
The glass collided with a crisp sound, and in the jealous eyes of everyone, Anduin also began to taste the prestigious Dalaran red wine, and before the clear wine could be eaten, it instantly dissolved, and the refreshing aroma immediately brought Anduin's consciousness to a strange world.
It was a towering mage tower, and there was a long-haired man in a burgundy cloak, sitting on the top of the tower, and when he saw Anduin looking, he picked up the wine glass he kept at his hand, and saluted him from afar, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
At this moment, Jenny Turtle, who was lying next to Gourmet No. 1, wiped his saliva and looked at his abdomen, and suddenly found that the blue pointer was shining, and suddenly calmed down, the little turtle rubbed his eyes, turned his head and continued to look at Gourmet No. 1's superb performance, and said in a daze: "I was actually hungry and hallucinated, it seems that when I get to this point in the future, people should eat." ”
Coming back to his senses, Anduin raised a frown slightly, and couldn't help but drink all the wine in the glass, but he couldn't see the illusion again, the old lord couldn't help but laugh and said: "Everyone can only see the illusion once, this is the most peculiar thing about Dalaran red wine, legend has it that no one will see a repeat scene, and no one knows why they see that kind of scene, speaking of which, this ancient red wine is too rare, even a legendary mage does not have enough research samples." ”
Anduin nodded slightly, thought about it, but still didn't explain the illusion and divination pointer he saw, and the rest of the time, one old and one young, spent in small talk, until Gourmet No. 1 urgently cooked the first home-cooked dish, braised pork.
"Haha! Sure enough, all the arguments about braised pork are meaningless! ”
The bearded dwarf raised his fist proudly, and was immediately met with strong contempt from everyone: "It's obviously the boss who has a kind heart, look at how happy you are?" What do you do with your fist raised? Think I'm taller? ”
Hera Tieli ignored all the comparisons of innate attributes, and immediately sent an invitation to the old lord with a smile: "Old lord, this braised pork is the chief home-cooked dish that I highly recommend, come and try it!" ”
The old gentleman sat down at the table with a smile, did not use the knife and fork sent by Van Clive, but chose to use chopsticks, as a legendary knight, his control of muscles was extremely precise, and it barely took a few seconds to reach the level of his fingers, he looked at the pieces of braised pork with a ruddy color and shaped like a small tower, and couldn't help nodding and praised: "Just this aroma and appearance are enough to give a good score." ”
The bearded dwarf looked anxious next to him, and couldn't help urging: "Don't just look at it, the essence is all in the flesh!" ”
The old gentleman immediately picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it with anticipation, and couldn't help but snort in his nose: "This is what you call home-cooked food?" ”
Red, who was standing on the outermost side, could only struggle against the fragrance on his face, and he couldn't see the true expression of the old man, so he mistakenly thought that this sentence expressed an attitude of disappointment, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You guys are fighting, what good thing should I fight for......?"
Swish!
Red wanted to say something, but found that everyone turned around and looked at him in unison, his eyes were very strange, and it was only then that he saw the old gentleman sitting in the middle, eating so happily, and noticed that Red was looking, so he squeezed out time to explain: "I mean, this thing shouldn't be called home cooking, no wonder Van Cleef can advise the chef of the Silver Hotel, it turns out that you eat such good things all day long!" ”
The old gentleman picked up a piece of braised pork and admired the color in front of the light, which also made Red see it more clearly: "Tsk, this kind of fat and thin meat can actually be fat but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth, it is really beyond my expectations, such a sweet and fluffy unique taste, I must have used a lot of top-secret condiments, huh...... Don't get busy with your hands yet, I'm going to eat a few more pieces. ”
Seeing the old man eating braised pork with satisfaction, Red couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he tried his best to hold his stomach, but it was difficult to curb hunger and regeneration, and comforted himself in his heart, what is so delicious about human food? It's just something that doesn't work! Once the two sides officially start a war, they will definitely have the first advantage by using the simple way to grill food!
"Old man, that's what we said at the beginning, the home-cooked dishes on this menu, no matter which flavor they have, are amazing." Jones looked emotional and patted Van Cleef on the shoulder, "On the night that President Van Cleeff returned to the fort, Earl Anduin held a celebration party for our Explorer Branch, and guess what it was to eat?" Barbecue! At that time, none of the three merchants who came from the fortress could afford it! But in the end, it's not like they're scrambling to come over and rub the rice! ”
"And this?" Van Cleef looked remorseful, "If I had known, I would have left later." ”
"Haha, that's not all!"
Jones smirked: "We just had a barbecue party that night, and although the taste of the various secret seasoned skewers made me unforgettable, the highlight was the barbecue dinner at noon the next day!" You should see the mound of loess outside the door, right? There's actually an iron furnace hidden there! The Earl of Anduin began to prepare in the middle of the night, and the lamb for barbecue alone was soaked in the cooking water for several hours, and then in front of us, the production process of roasting whole lamb was demonstrated, and you few did not know, all kinds of sauces were dazzling, but the final taste was extraordinarily harmonious! ”
"Especially the scene when the mutton is baked, the perfect match between the sauce and the flame gives it a golden and dazzling tempting skin, and it is not a secret, and the contemptible people are very honored to make the first cut." Jones's face showed an indescribable sense of enjoyment, "Only then did I understand the true meaning of the big dish!" ”
"Hearing you say that, I'm looking forward to the pan-fried steak at noon tomorrow!" The old gentleman looked at Anduin with a smile, "Dare to ask this owner of the Hearthstone Inn, can I let this old fellow also see the style of the big dishes?" ”
Anduin smiled confidently, "Giving every customer the best enjoyment is the consistent purpose of Hearthstone Hotel. ”
Jones hurriedly coaxed: "We are also customers, and the best enjoyment for us is to eat hot pot tomorrow night!" ”
"That's right! Count Anduin, since the old lord is here, you can't let us continue to be greedy, right? ”
"And barbecue and roast whole lamb! Just listening to Jones's introduction, the old gentleman was also a little curious. ”
Anduin saw that everyone moved out of the old lord's backer, but his heart was unmoved: "Whether it is hot pot, barbecue or roast whole sheep, I am not going to do it again in the short term, the main reason is that the supporting production tools are not perfect, and in a few days, the engineer I invited from the dwarf country will come, let him design a set of advanced ovens, and I will bring you another barbecue feast!" ”
Gollum ......
This scene that should have been enjoyable was abruptly interrupted by an exaggerated swallowing sound, and when he noticed that everyone was looking at him abruptly again, Red, whose face was flushed, covered his stomach, pushed to the corner of the hall with difficulty, and let out a stubborn and weak cry: "Whether barbecue is a big dish or a home-cooked dish, you don't want to trick me into eating human food......"
"Don't think about ......"
