Chapter 109: Shen Deler's List Form II
The Forsaken Bar.
Let's talk about the stalk of "skeletons drinking and leaking down" that has been wheeled countless times - it is said that someone also invented a way to drink unlimited in two cups, you cow - skeleton drinks him...... It does leak down.
But don't worry, hear me out.
In the wizarding world, the body is the bridge between the soul and the matter.
If the soul is strong enough, then the body is actually dispensable. The reason why these Forsaken did not die or become unconscious skeletons is because their souls are very powerful. They used to be close to the legendary professional powerhouses (ordinary people can't enter this bar) - the soul went through the first tempering at level 12 "condensing the true name", and after level 16, the whole transformation into the legend made the soul training more and more pure and powerful.
Such a soul, even in a demonless world, can become a ghost that moves out of the body and manifests out of thin air. Now their souls can drive a skeleton to fight; Able to meditate normally; Able to chat through vibrating air; Able to think, reminisce and innovate without the material brain...... There's so much more they can do!
In comparison, drinking is nothing.
Moreover, those wines that have been drunk by "souls" will lose the concept and breath of "wine", and those that are randomly spilled on the ground through the skeleton shelf are already something else.
In addition, when Augustin transformed himself into a full lich, he also helped his customers and friends complete the transformation ritual, and made a "body" for each of them - this body has blood, can eat, and can be slowly absorbed and digested. It is a low body temperature, slow blood flow, and an extremely slow metabolism that can hardly be used to fight.
But the customers were extremely satisfied, and the battle was enough to have the original skeleton frame (solid as steel). The new body allows them to taste the taste of wine again, instead of sucking the concept out of their souls, which is already a godsend!
Now Shen Yan is sitting at the bar, and what he sees is such a scene - more than a dozen multi-racial regulars in the entire bar, gathering in twos and threes to drink and chat, almost no different from ordinary bars.
In particular, with the completion of Augustine's ritual, except for the two who accompanied Shen Yan, the rest of the Forsaken were all at the peak of level 16, which happened to be at the top of the world...... I feel like you're doing a bit of a thing.
As for the two next to Shen Yan, not to mention, Chi Guoguo ignored the roof of this world.
The level 21 legendary lich who wiped the wine glass behind the bar, a full-time necromantic archmage; The one who poured the wine for Shen Yan was a level 19 law stealer, Dabasfield. This Dabas was curious why Shen Yan also had two big horns, and his horns changed symbols like neon signs.
“…… You can't always use alcohol as a hire fee, and you can take someone else's wine. Speaking of which, Augustine was also quite helpless.
How slamming you are the heir of this lady! Last time, the employment fee was wine, but this time it is still wine, and I have to go to the owner's house to get it...... As a result, the bar is now piled up with alcohol that has not been drunk for hundreds of years. These wines simply can't be stored for that long without special methods, and the cost of using special methods is very poor...... Because there are few bottles of real value.
A good wine that is truly worth preserving with the technique of time and space solidification must be made from the ingredients to the brewing method! And the vintage, culture, and taste are all indispensable.
"Although we are all forgotten people in the world, we are not without money...... Let's grab it, I'm sorry, the peninsula is so big, we also want to save face. I heard that Boss Shen has made a fortune recently, why don't you pay the bill with money this time? It doesn't matter if it's God Butcher or whatever, I'll add up with Fer, and you give you a real price! ”
Augustine wiped his glass and bargained in a very social tone.
He can't help it, who let such a rarity as "figurines" suddenly appear on the peninsula, there are many dead houses in the bar...... Not to mention that the price of the figure is expensive, it's not good to grab it directly! Because these figurines are all made by children in orphanages, I heard that only one qualified one can be made into a hundred...... It is a source of livelihood for orphans.
Even if it is shameless, there is still a "Templar" organization on the sidelines, waiting for anyone to make a mistake - the Templar has copied all the experience of the family in the process of promoting the orphanage, and they all know how to fish and enforce the law!
"It's impossible to pay, it's impossible in this life!" Speaking of money, Shen Langtai's face was surprisingly ugly.
He pulled out a bottle of wine from the space bag and placed it on the counter. "I'm starting from a certain ...... Ahem, some wine came out of it, oops, don't say it! The taste is surprisingly unpleasant! Not to mention the burnt smell, after drinking, the teeth are still filled with cinders, bitter and astringent! Do you say that such wine is still drunk by people? But some people told me that this wine is also very famous in the city, called ......"
"Tobacco dregs." A lot of people followed.
It was obviously such a bad drink, but as he spoke, a group of people in the bar all gathered next to Shen Yan, staring at the bottle of wine with their eyes.
"Alas~" Augustine took the bottle of wine from Shen Yan's hand, unscrewed the wooden cork, and a large number of wine glasses reached out in front of him. Lao Ao poured about the same amount for everyone, and finally poured a full cup for himself and Phil, which was just right.
"Cheers!" Augustin raised his glass.
"!" Then they dispersed.
After that, everyone found their own place and quietly tasted the glass of cigarette residue in their hands, and the bar was so quiet that it was audible for a while.
"It's unpleasant! It's so unpalatable! "A big man suddenly lay on the table and cried!
"yes, it's really hard to drink......
"Well, the last time I drank, I couldn't eat for days."
"Tobacco dregs, that's what it tastes like."
"It's not hard to drink, it's not tobacco dregs, woo~"
……
Lao Ao ignored those people and drank alone behind the counter, but Shen Yan felt that there seemed to be something in his eyes.
Tobacco dregs is the most unpleasant wine to drink around the city, but this wine is so famous that almost everyone who travels around the city has drunk it...... And for this I will never forget.
I heard that the sake was brewed from a furnace and cinder from a large forge and ended up in a pipe full of soot...... Presumably a rumor. Because the characteristic of this wine is that it looks clear and transparent, without impurities, and it can be drunk with a sip of cinders.
But the people around the city love this is different from the world.
"And 11 bottles, deal?"
“…… Deal. ”
Feelings are really valuable, will I talk nonsense?
*****
The gods are actually similar to human beings—only some of them sit so high that they can't even look up, which makes people imagine that they use golden poles.
Atwood once talked to Shen Yan about the helmet god, and when the helmet god was in the kingdom of God, he was not as rigid as outsiders imagined, and even very funny, and a little cautious.
And the helmet god does not do things as everyone thinks, and he is comprehensive - just like the fact that after Atwood's death, he was hung by the helmet god for several years. It stands to reason that when an important believer returns to the kingdom of God, the gods always have to show up to say a few words, and the superficial leaders always have to do ...... But the helmet god felt that he was too old to meet new people, so he was lazy. If it weren't for Shen Yan, Atwood might have been depressed for a few more years.
The courtyard of the gods in the swan world is similar.
People of the same divine line live together, and those who have a good relationship live closer, so that they can come and go often; The plastic sisters between the goddesses, jealous, intimate in person, and torn behind their backs...... It doesn't seem to be any different from life on the ground.
Former Emperor Asa Constance, Lord of the Empire. As a subordinate god of the aristocratic gods, he lives next door to his teacher, the nobleman and the god of law, Dominic Constance - that's right, his teacher, the person who competes with him for divine power, is also surnamed Constance, and is actually his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather by blood!
Could it be that Dominica was the founding emperor of the Empire? No, he's a bandit leader......
The story of this man is too old, and the empire does not have a department dedicated to recording history - even if there is, it is from the founding emperor's record, who would record a bandit leader?!
But Dominic had excellent luck, not to mention his strength before he died (level 16), and he also managed to hug the thigh of the god of the hill (primordial god) and become a demigod after his death!
Later, with the rise of the god of civilization and the abdication of the primordial god, the god of the hill was naturally extremely unwilling to let the protagonist of the world! It pulled it in its own nest like this, and suddenly found, haha~ I still have talents here!
Although Dominic was only a bandit during his lifetime, his descendants have expanded their territory and developed from a small country to a huge empire across continents!
So, aren't you civilized gods very good? No matter how awesome you are, your ancestors are in my hands!
One of the key principles of the establishment of aristocratic law is to talk about "blood" rather than "strength"! Then the source of the noble bloodline of your empire is Dominica! A bandit, haha, isn't it funny! What bullshit civilization god - let's either not think about it, or let my little brother Dominic be the head of this aristocratic god line!
In the end, the civilization god system could only pinch his nose and admit that Dominic was the first person in the aristocratic god line.
……
In short, the daughter-in-law has been a mother-in-law for many years, and later Dominic still killed his boss the god of the hills, and rightfully became the leader of a faction. Then he had other ambitions.
As a wizarding world, the aristocracy is only a complementary part of the overall world system, not the dominant (truly theocracy). But Dominic is not reconciled, after being the main god of the aristocratic god system for so many years, he really wants to implement a political system based on bloodline in all planes.
And he really thinks that it is because of his good seed that future generations can build such a huge empire, and it will not fall for a thousand years! All this is his credit, and the descendants are just stained with his light! Because if you don't have the surname Constance, you're nothing!
Therefore, he not only actively seeks to go further in the civilization of God, but also robs Asa's faith with great peace of mind - because according to the definition of noble blood inheritance, I created you, and your things are my things! Even you are mine!
Asa Constance hasn't been yet, he's really a very tolerant emperor.
