Chapter 8: Wine Talk
readx;? &nb Deluxe Room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
&nb "Merchant" Mukasha did not sit on his soft leather chair again, but walked to the window. There is a round table and two comfortable chairs. As if expecting a guest to come, a bottle of precious wine and two empty goblets were prepared on the round table.
&nb, ignoring Jana's almost fire-breathing eyes behind her, Mukasha casually pulled out a chair and sat down with her feet cocked. He pulled the cork of the red wine, and the rich aroma of the wine filled the room.
Mukasha poured half a bottle of wine into the two goblets, then picked up a glass close to him, shook it a few times, put it to his lips, took a sip, and then closed his eyes, showing a very comfortable expression.
&nbAfter relinquishing his status as a clergyman, Mukasha became more and more adequately able to enjoy life.
&nb After a while, Mukasha opened his slightly clouded eyes. In the meantime, Jaina stood by and waited, her eyes almost on fire, her fists clenched, and a small amount of blood running down her fingers.
&nb Unlike her brother Luan, who was trained as a werewolf leader candidate, Jaanna has read and gone to school, she is educated, cultivated, and the tragic experience of her childhood makes her more mentally mature than other female students of the same age in the seminary, so she will not act recklessly and rashly when encountering problems, but will first observe her face and judge the time.
&nb It would be impossible to say that Jaanna didn't want to kill Mukasha, who had humiliated and tortured her and her brother. In fact, just outside the door, before the two companions spoke, Jaina had already killed Mukasha, but at the last moment, she chose to continue to persevere.
&nb's instinct told her that an old fox like Mukasha would never stay with a dangerous "enemy" like her without taking any precautions, which meant that Mukasha was very sure that Jana would not be able to kill herself, and that even if she did, it would not do her any good. After weighing the two sides, Jane decided to restrain her killing intent and wait for a better time.
&nb Ginger is still old and spicy. Just now, Mukasha seemed to close his eyes and recuperate, but he was actually secretly observing Jana's situation, and only when Jana's expression changed to his satisfaction did he really take the next step.
&nb: "Sit down." You can also taste these fine wines. Mukasha gestured to the chair across from him.
&nb Jana thought about it for two seconds, then finally pulled her chair away and sat down. She picked up another goblet in front of her, gently shook half of the red wine inside, sneered, and drank it down. She is not afraid of Mukasha's manipulation in wine, because her physique has become the body of a werewolf, and she has long been invulnerable, and Mukasha will not make such a low-level mistake knowingly.
&nb"Drink so quickly, you can't taste the subtlety of these fine wines." Mukasha unhurriedly picked up the bottle and poured another glass of wine for Jana's empty glass.
&nb: "I don't know how to drink. Jaina pushed the glass in front of her mercilessly.
&nbWine glasses fell and red wine spilled on the table, trickling into a trickle and dripping to the ground.
&nb Mukasha didn't get angry or reproach at Jana's indifference, his eyes still narrowed, and he unhurriedly picked up Jana's wine glass, and poured a dark golden hint of wine into her glass.
&nb "Why turn away people thousands of miles away, now is the time to rest, you should savor life in a relaxed mood, and you shouldn't keep yourself so tight." Mukasha handed the glass to Jaanna for the third time.
&nb "You ......"
&nb Jana was angry, but she eventually took the glass. Instead of pouring it down, or immediately pouring it down her throat as she had done the first time, she tried to make herself like a lady, bringing her glass to her lips and tasting it little by little.
&nb Mukasha watched the whole process with a smile all the time. He knew that Jane was a very strong woman, and that she was in a very anxious mood at this time, and that he would not get the result he wanted by confronting her, so he treated her slowly and logically, so as to frustrate Jana's spirit. Obviously, the inexperienced Jane was easily fooled, and her compromise gave the opponent an advantage in the ensuing confrontation.
&nb "Knock".
&nbJana, who had managed to finish her drink, slammed the empty glass against the table with a very dissatisfying force, making a dull sound. I don't know if she tasted the artistic conception of the wine.
&nb: "Nice. Mukasha clapped his hands lightly, "Then you can tell me in detail about the process of sneaking into the palace and assassinating me just now." ”
&nb finally got to the point.
&nbMeanwhile, thousands of miles to the south, in the royal palace of the Hansa in the capital city of Pole, another drinking talk was underway.
&nb In Queen Catherine's bedchamber, there is a small wine cellar.
&nbQueen Catherine was not only a master dancer, she was also very good at winemaking. Sometimes for her, dancing and winemaking are one and the same. Often, for every time Catherine invented a beautiful dance, she developed a mellow wine. The wine she brews is not something that everyone can appreciate, she only makes it for her husband. Queen Catherine's finest wines are housed in a small cellar in her bedchamber. Although the output is not much, it is a little care for her husband who is responsible for state affairs to eliminate fatigue.
&nb In the last six months or so, due to the Queen's busy business, there has been no new work in the small cellar, but the wine that was originally stored in it has not necessarily decreased significantly, because King Duris has not had much free time to taste the Queen's wines.
&nb Now, the husband and wife can be reunited after a long absence, and in order to avoid waking up their sleeping daughter, this small wine cellar has become a small place for husband and wife to confide in each other's hearts.
&nb "Since you're back and don't plan to make a public appearance, you're leaving Hansar soon?" Catherine said in a tone of disappointment, pouring a new glass of wine for Duris's empty glass.
&nb "Yes, the matter of Isoguien is still not completely resolved, but that Memphik is still reliable, so it is okay to leave for a while, but not for too long. Therefore, my dear, you will continue to carry it for me for a while. Duris said with regret.
&nb: "So what the hell are you going to do when you come back this time? Catherine said that she knew that Duris would not do meaningless things.
&nb: "That's right. Because I've heard that you used your diplomatic relations with the Monis Republic to send the 'Night Stalkers' to stop Princess Sophia, I think this kind of thing has to be handled personally. ”
&nb "I'm sorry I messed things up so much that Sophia and her little friends made such a big farce yesterday morning, and it caused a lot of trouble in the city. ”
&nb"What happened yesterday morning, or the night before, is irrelevant, and you're in control. I had returned to Hansar two days before Princess Sophia, and I had been well aware of their movements, and it would have been easy to stop her mischief. ”
&nb: "But you let her do it?"
&nb: "Yes. The reasons for this will be explained to you slowly later. Duris raised his glass and took a sip, "However, there are two things I must explain to you in person, and that is the sudden cessation of the activities of the 'fish', and the fact that you and Monis attacked Sophia. ”
&nb: "Yes. Catherine knew that her husband was not to blame, so her heart relaxed, and she poured herself a glass of wine, "The 'Holy City Rebellion' that happened not long ago caused a stir in the whole world, and it led to the mysterious organization called the 'Truth Society', which made me feel very uneasy, although I don't know what the 'Truth Society' is, but I feel that it is a very terrible organization. I was worried that the 'fish' would be mixed with people from the Truth Society, so I ordered the 'fish' to cease its activities, but in order to continue to collect information from the Central Church, I had to come up with a way to force Princess Sophia back to Holy Pope Island. ”
&nb"Sophia is the common goal of both the Truth Society and the Central Curia, and if she returns to Holy Pope Island and allows her to muddy the waters, our intelligence agencies will be able to profit from it. I guess that's what you're going to do. Duris shook his head slightly, "But, Catherine, you've made a mistake. Sophia, the amount of energy she can exert is much greater than you might expect. Don't interfere with what Sophia is going to do. If you're going to gather intelligence, there's no need to let the 'fish' return to the nest, they're up to the task. ”
&nb: "I know. So I'm hurrying to check if anyone from the Truth Society has mixed in with the 'fish'. ”
&nb: "It seems that you don't quite understand what I mean. Duris smiled and patted the back of his wife's hand, "When I say they're up to the job, I mean these people are absolutely trustworthy. The 'Fish' was established before the 'Woods', and when the members of the 'Fish' were selected, they had already been strictly screened, and there were no spies of the Truth Society mixed in with the 'Fish'. ”
&nb "What!"
&nb Duris's words made Catherine suddenly feel that something was wrong, and she shook like an electric shock, and the cup in her hand was unsteady, and some red wine spilled out, staining her dress red.
&nb"How do you know so well?" Catherine looked at her husband in surprise.
&nb's husband's words just now revealed a surprising hidden message: he seems to have known about the existence of the Truth Society for a long time.
