Chapter Sixty-Nine: The City Is Full of Funny Faces
Inside the tavern, there are sparse people.
Rhodes wiped his glass in boredom, as a bartender, he didn't shoot much, most of the people who came to this tavern were only bitter to drink rye wine, and few people were willing to pay for that kind of exquisite good wine.
Wine, just have fun!
In the corner, Aisha was patiently tutoring Yue'er and a few girls in their homework, while Dora was holding a small barrel of wine and drinking there.
At this time, outside the gate, Connie, who had not been seen for many days, walked in in a military uniform.
He pushed open the wooden door, his upper body was wearing half-body armor, carrying the sword of inheritance, under his brown hair, with a high nose and blue eyes.
His eyes swept away, and when he saw Elsa, his eyes lit up and he said, "Elsa! ”
"Something?" Aisha looked up at him.
"Something happened in the city these days, so I didn't come to see you much, you won't blame me, right?" Connie said affectionately, and that sincere tone and sincere expression really looked like that.
Aisha patted Yue'er and said softly, "Take a break." ”
The corners of Rod's mouth on the side hooked.
This Connie is really interesting, didn't you see the way Aisha loves to answer, and wants to pursue the dignified Storm Queen, even Rhodes didn't dare to have such a thought.
I'm afraid that these two sweet words from a tired dead man are far from enough.
Unbeknownst to Connie, Connie walked over to Aisha and sat down.
With a deep admiration in his eyes, he said, "Aisha, the city has not been peaceful lately, and I may not be able to come to see you for a while." ”
Rod looked disdainful, he was really unaware, didn't he see that Aisha's face froze.
"Brother, who is that sissy-looking person?" Yue'er also pouted and stared at Na Connie with a look of disgust.
"Sissy ......"
Rod's face was tense, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching no matter what, and he said seriously: "Little child, what do you know, that's called gentlemanly demeanor!" ”
Connie's hand stiffened, as a third-order professional warrior, even if Yue'er said it in a small voice, it didn't make much difference to him.
"Huh."
The anger on his face flashed, he sneered, turned his head, looked at Rhodes behind the counter, a trace of arrogance flashed in his eyes, pointed to his seat, and said, "Bartender, don't you see a guest coming!" Spice me a glass of wine! ”
The Shadow Domain, strength is respected.
Connie has the confidence and capital to drink Rode, in his opinion, a small second-order bartender, who dismantled his stage three times and twice, simply does not know whether he is alive or dead.
"I must humiliate you this time!" With a sneer on his face, he thought secretly.
Rod hadn't spoken yet.
Yue'er's little face was full of anger, and she glared at Connie like this.
"This sissy looks weird! Not as tall as my brother! Why command my brother! Yue'er felt that she really hated this guy with a smirk on his face.
Children are like that, sensitive and straightforward.
"Oh? What do you want to drink? ”
Rod was not angry, he pointed to a sign full of liquor in front of him, and said, "There are many liquors here, you pick slowly." ”
Connie's knowledge was not small, and he was about to make it difficult to speak, but Rod continued.
"As a gentleman, I recommend you to taste 'gentleman's charm'."
"A great philosopher once said that the charm of a gentleman always unfolds at a definite pace in a crowd, and the magnitude of the velocity has nothing to do with the membrane state of the crowd.
In any direction that the human intellect can reach, the speed of the gentleman's signal propagation is the same. The gentleman's speed of the jump between the different peaks has nothing to do with the inertial 666 series where the salted fish is located. This is the famous 'gentleman's immutable principle'. ”
“…………”
Connie was dazed by Rod's strange remarks, but his face was impassive, he couldn't be cowardly at this time, especially in front of Elsa, he clapped his hands and said, "Then have a drink!" ”
Rod chuckled.
Drow Spider Blood Wine (Gentleman's Charisma): This wine has a slightly wrong name, but it is actually a mushroom wine made by Drow that contains a dose of spider venom. This wine has a unique flavor and does not resemble anything on the surface.
Anyone who does not drink this alcohol regularly (usually not drow) must pass a tenacity test in addition to the tenacity test to avoid drunkenness, or else they will be poisoned.
Once poisoned.
People who want to adapt to this toxicity must have a drink every few hours a day for a week.
Of course.
If you choose not to refill your glass, it won't be much of a problem, just a subtle smile will always be on your face for a few weeks or even months.
It's a kind of smirk or "giggle" that makes anyone feel nervous after watching it.
This is one of the more famous wines on the Drow elves, which seems to have a unique flavor.
In fact, after the Shadowlands came into contact with the surface world, those drow elves used this wine to the detriment of many adventurers.
Rod remembers that this wine made a big news at the beginning!
- "The city is full of funny faces!" ”
Some guys who don't know the depth bring the wine to the surface, causing most of the adventurers in a city to have a funny face.
That situation!
It's similar to the "Resident Evil" that erupted near an ancient ruin in the West! It's very infiltrating!
"A gentleman is a subtle yet polite smile in any situation! - A deranged Drow housewife. ”
Later, anyone who was stupid enough to drink this "gentlemanly charm" was basically equivalent to a "stupid man with a full head of pornography".
Just after Rod started bartending.
Connie looked at Elsa again with a sincere look on his face, and pulled out a string of crystal clear necklaces.
"Elsa, there have been ghost incidents in the old city recently, this 'Forbidden Soul Crystal Necklace' is a precious necklace I got from a familiar dwarven master, it can temporarily protect you when you encounter ghosts, once this necklace is activated, I will rush over immediately!"
Connie said the necklace flatly, but his face couldn't help but show a look of pride.
I got it from a dwarven master I knew!
To be able to associate with a Dwarven Master in this Stormwind City, and indeed in the entire Shadowlands, is a testament to your charisma or background.
Aisha frowned, not as if she was interested in this Connie.
Just when the atmosphere fell into awkwardness.
With a glass of dark purple wine in his hand, Rod gently brought it to Connie's hand and said, "A gentleman is one who can maintain a subtle but polite smile in any situation!" Please savor the 'gentleman's charm'. ”
Connie looked at the glass.
Whether it is color, fragrance, or body, it looks perfect, but he who is bent on embarrassing Rhodes, but his face deliberately shows a trace of reluctance.
After pretending to be reluctant to sniff the fragrance.
He sneered and savored a small bite. He had decided that no matter how good the wine was, he was going to embarrass Rhodes a little.
A dark purple liquid flowed down the throat.
"This ......"
Connie's smile froze, and the wine in his mouth tasted wonderful.
The biggest feature of the gentleman's charm is the unique flavor, in terms of the taste of the wine, it is not inferior to any wine, the only flaw is the poisoning problem, if you want not to be ugly, you have to refill the glass.
There are mages who have studied this wine.
It is said that the toxins in the alcohol cause the human facial tissues to overreact, so that they will keep smiling or smirking for a long time.
The only solution is constant irritation, which eventually becomes resistant to toxins.
"Hey......
Connie's stiff face slowly turned into a funny sneer!
He tried his best to keep his face normal, but he couldn't change that state of wanting to laugh no matter what!
"Mr. Connie, your smile is the greatest compliment to my mixology!" Rod thanked him very seriously, and then added: "This glass of wine is precious, 50 gold coins, thank you for your patronage!" ”
Fifty gold!
Connie was furious, why didn't you grab it!
However, the curvature of the funny smile on his face became more and more obvious, and he looked like he was smiling happily.
"Hmph, you wine... Hey... The taste is average...... Hey...... Extremely poor taste...... Hey...... How do you become a bartender! ”
Connie was annoyed, but he always had a funny smile on his face.
Especially after saying a sentence, he laughed twice with "hehe", how to look at it like that.
"Sir! You can be dissatisfied with the price, but when you pretend to be dissatisfied, can you show anger, your smile makes it difficult to convince people that you are dissatisfied with the bartending. Rod returned with a straight face.
This is "burlesque".
Swallow it in a funny gulp, and my life is up to me......
People laugh at me for being crazy, I can't see through my funny laughter......
At the beginning, countless people were teased of funny wine, and the price of a glass was not much lower than this, so many people would rather have a funny face than drink for a week to detoxify.
"This wine...... Hey...... Problematic! ”
Connie said with a funny expression.
"No problem! Absolutely authentic 'gentleman's charm'! Rod said categorically, "Give me the money, Mr. Connie." ”
Connie had a smile on his face, and he hated it in his heart!
Just when he was about to teach the young man in front of him a lesson.
He stiffened.
Dora, who was drunk there, grinned at him, and the two rows of big white teeth looked at him, sending chills down Connie's heart.
"Bang dang!"
A bag of gold coins was casually thrown on the ground by Connie, and the gold coins were scattered out of the money bag, and he said with a funny face: "Go pick it up!" ”
Rod's eyes narrowed.
Looking at the funny face in front of him, Rod's eyes gleamed with danger.
But Connie didn't know it.
I saw him look at Aisha with a funny face, but his voice said affectionately: "Aisha, let me put this necklace on for you." ”
