The main venue of the banquet was not very large, and most of the people invited were members of the Seven Ring Tower Beverage Industry Association, to put it bluntly, the owners of various taverns and breweries, and some representatives of the Tower.

In the middle of the room, eight judging tables formed an arc, and not far behind the judging tables was the seating area for the members of the association who did not have the right to vote.

"Welcome everyone to our tasting conference, the competition is a total of 45 kinds of drinks from 32 towers, without further ado, let's invite the number one contestant, the mages from the snowy tower~"

Two humans and a tall lanky kobold walked up to the judges' table, they were holding several alchemical glass bottles in their hands, and they could directly see the pale yellow transparent liquid shaking inside, and a waiter stepped forward with a plate on which were eight delicate glasses, which were used by the judges to taste drinks.

The pale yellow liquid was slowly poured into each glass, and the faint aroma of wine also wafted out, and the waiter inhaled without a trace, yes, it was a serious wine, and the intensity was not clear, but the faint aroma of wine was correct, and he was relieved to bring the plate to the judge.

"Hmm~ It tastes good, it's a nut-made wine, it's just a little light~" The little dwarf Loace, who picked up the cup first, nodded slightly, and then put down the cup in disappointment, this is not the goal he is looking for.

"It's okay~"

"Yes~"

"Poof~ What kind of bullshit is this", an angry scolding suddenly sounded, with a random "bang", the glass was smashed in front of the waiter's feet, and the waiter's pants were splashed everywhere, "What kind of wine does the weak kobold make, let's go back and plant sweet potatoes!" ”

The rest of the judges turned their heads to look at the lion-headed representative of the Fanged Tower, "Well, yes, the wine is too light, it's like water, let's vote, I'll not pass!" ”

"No!"

"Don't pass~"......

"Okay, none of the eight votes passed, the preliminary evaluation was eliminated, the next one, the second!" The host announced loudly that the preliminary evaluation is the first evaluation, which is voted by the eight judges on the judging table, and finally leaves five drinks to enter the re-evaluation process, where the drinks need to be distributed to other members who do not have the right to vote in the preliminary evaluation to taste, and each member has only one vote, and finally the ranking is determined by the number of votes.

……

"Alright, here's Twenty-Six, the contestant from the Etched Tower!"

A human and a dwarf stepped forward, they were holding a dark brown glass bottle, due to the dark color of the bottle, they could only see that there was liquid in the bottle shaking, and it was not clear what color it was.

The waiter stepped forward cautiously, today is really unlucky, just the first sample was sprinkled with a trouser leg, and then it was even worse, all the samples that he thought were reliable were rejected, is there a problem with his judgment today?

As soon as the brown glass bottle was opened, the waiter who was nearby immediately smelled a strong sour smell, which was definitely overbrewed wine, or it was a problem such as poor air tightness, what should I do? According to the usual tasting meeting, the waiter should be full of courage and determination, pretending to accidentally spill the sample This is the most common method, just to prevent some strange contestants from getting some strange things, for example, the previous time there was a guy who got some swamp mud filtered out of the green water, said that it was particularly delicious, what to do this time, today his judgment seems to have a problem, the waiter stood there with a plate and hesitated.

"Rub it off, bring it quickly", an angry shout interrupted his musings, and he had to hurry to the judging table in the Fangs Tower, and waited for the cup to fly to his face or body.

"Well, yes, it tastes good", the man pretended to take a sip, and immediately commented, and then sighed as if inadvertently, "It seems that it is indeed a wise choice to lead them to take the etching tower as an appendage!" ”

In an instant, all the weirdness just now was understood by the other judges, including the waiter, it turned out to be like this, I said it earlier~

"Oh? Is it really delicious, hurry up and give me a taste", a judge looked excited, he took the cup and took a big sip, "Hmm~coughcough~"

The lion-headed man immediately looked over.

"I'm sorry, it's so delicious, I choked too fast~"

The lion-headed man withdrew his gaze in satisfaction.

Several other reviewers sighed in admiration, and hurriedly agreed, "It does taste very good, I don't think there is any need for re-examination at all, just set the ranking." ”

"Hey~ The review is still required, don't we have to decide the second to the fifth place in the review~"

"Yes, haha, that's reasonable, there are still second to fifth places to decide, it's all because this etched tower sample is so delicious, I almost forgot it!"

The other members of the association were buzzing in the seating area~

……

"No. 28~"

Lin Ze was in the lounge, when he heard his number called outside, he stood up, took the sample he brought, and then turned his head and warned a girl who wanted to go to the side to drink just now with his eyes, and then walked out with the little witch Lulu and Wei Jia.

"Contestants from the Tower of the Esoteric World, they brought two drinks to the contest."

Lin Ze took out the water bladder hanging on his body.

"Oh shit, they can't even afford an alchemy glass bottle!" One of the reviewers said in disgust.

"I don't drink mineral water, hurry up and go down, let the twenty-ninth come!"

"Go on, this kind of dirty stuff that only adventurers drink is not qualified to get here!"

The waiter retreated with the plate, ignoring Lin Ze at all, waiting for the next contestant to come up.

Lin Ze pondered for a moment, turned around and left, didn't take a few steps, a water bladder on his waist fell inadvertently, silently, the water bladder fell heavily to the ground, the wooden cork was broken away, the golden liquid spilled violently, and in an instant, the rich aroma of wine swept through every corner of the hall as if chased by a hurricane.

"Suck ~ suck ~ coodong" There was a gasping sound in the hall, and listen carefully to the sound of swallowing saliva.

"Wait!" The little dwarf Loace jumped from his chair onto the table and shouted, "Don't go!" We haven't tasted it yet! ”

The few judges who had just commented were silent and let Loace stay.

Lin Ze bent the corners of his mouth without a trace, this is made by him with a kind of ice pear unique to the snowy plateau as a raw material, coupled with the unique purification method of the water vine of the Iter people, the absolute wine aroma is pleasant, and the aroma in the air can be carefully distinguished and can smell a trace of the cold and sweet fragrance unique to the ice pear, just now when he turned around to leave, he quietly untied the lanyard of the water bladder, and pulled out the cork, the world always loves to take things by appearance, Lin Ze can be regarded as an inspiration, thinking of an allusion to his hometown in exchange for the current situation.

Just when Lin Ze was secretly rejoicing, suddenly, a very unfriendly voice sounded in the venue, "Human, hand over the secret recipe for brewing this wine!" ”
