Chapter 172: Wine Tasting Talk
There are no windows in the tower, and soft light shines through the surrounding walls. The roof of the room depicts the traditional magic seven-pointed star, and around the seven-pointed star, there are many magic symbols that flicker and dark.
A large specimen of the feathered serpent occupies the entire wall opposite the wine cabinet, and the feathered serpent has a pale blue hourglass in its mouth, and the shiny sand particles flow from the top half of the hourglass to the bottom, but no matter how much time passes, the sand at the bottom does not increase, and the sand particles on the upper part do not decrease.
With the blazing 'Red Dragon's Fury', the barbarian slowly told the whole story to Master Alvin.
Truth be told, this spirit isn't a good choice when it comes to storytelling. Because after each stage of his speech, Barrett habitually raised his glass and took a small sip in the hope of moistening his thirsty mouth and throat.
But this fine wine in the mouth was not reconciled, and it roared and raged in the mouth of the brute, and shocked his reason, making his brain blank and dizzy, and it took a long time to recover.
"Looks like you're just like me, and don't like this kind of damn thing. The mage grinned, his throat spasming as if he had swallowed a sharp blade, "Oh damn it, I almost shouted 'Magic is on it'! He got up and walked back to the wine cabinet, "Grace isn't there, I can't remember what's in each of these bottles." ”
Mage Alvin cupped his chin in one hand and frowned in thought, "I remember someone once gave me a bottle of wine that was made with the ink of the deep sea squid, the blood of the black dragon, and the brain fluid of the shapeshifters. I've always wanted someone to taste the bottle with me, but I couldn't find anyone. Grace refused, Merry refused to, Irene and Aina did not, and my colleagues were boring creatures, not to mention them. However, I can't tell which bottle it is. To be honest, most of the 'fine wines' here are really a bit afraid to drink myself. ”
Then you've found me?" Barrett was a little speechless, "Actually, I have some vanilla city white beer here, and it tastes very good." He suggested.
"Forget it, let's just pick these bottles. Naturally, the mage ignored the brute's advice and reached into the wine cabinet with a false grip.
The next moment, bottle after bottle of strange liquid was moved by the mage to the hexagonal tea table next to Barrett, "Drink these first, if it's not enough, there are many more here." ”
Seeing Barrett's frightened face, Master Alvin added, "Don't worry, we'll only drink a little from each bottle." Life is like this, no matter what the taste is, you always have to taste it. ”
......
'Red Dragon's Fury' was replaced, followed by a navy blue liquid that smelled of herbivore's ruminated forage. This liquid doesn't smell very good, but when you drink it, it has a fresh smell of mint and barley. With this liquid that is still in the mouth, Barrett continues his adventure.
As he spoke, he tried his best to recall, speaking slowly, and many inconsequential details would be carefully described. And Mage Alvin didn't urge him, but sipped the navy blue liquid with a slightly serious expression.
When Barrett talks about stumbling upon a corpse leader and using tricks to kill him, Mage Alvin interjects and asks, "You mean, you scavenged everything from that corpse?"
"Yes. Barry nodded, "Anything that might contain clues, as I don't feel like it's an ordinary corpse." ”
He told the mage of his suspicions and what the corpse leader had said before he died, and took out the light armor he had cut open, the pale green one-handed sword that only the dead could use, a pair of earrings in the shape of a cross star, a silver badge from an unknown family, and a magic scroll of unknown purpose, and presented them all to the mage.
Maybe with these clues, the mages will be able to prevent some catastrophe from happening, Barrett thought.
Mage Alvin first picked up the silver badge and looked at it carefully in his hand, "You guessed right. The mage said, "That corpse demon was indeed a drow when it was alive, and it seems to belong to a large family of drow elves. Listening to your description of its strength and combat, that corpse demon should have been a martial arts master before his death. As a male drow, this is a very high position, and maybe it had a leg with the head mother of their family when he was alive. The mage squeezed his eyes at Barrett.
He picked up the magic scroll of unknown purpose again, and his leisurely expression instantly became a little cold, "Hmph, those miscellaneous people who can only hide in the dark are not dead yet." The mage opened his mouth without grace and scolded, "If it weren't for ......" He was about to say something more, but after glancing at Barrett, he suddenly stopped, "It's better not to tell you this." ”
Then Alvin mage picked up the shattered light armor again, looked at the pattern on it, and glanced briefly at the longsword and cross earrings.
"It's a good thing to keep this for yourself, to please a lover. Master Alvin tossed the earrings to Barrett, "Give me the rest." Don't worry, I'll make it up to you. ”
He put the rest away, opened another bottle of viscous, dark black strange liquid like asphalt, and reached out for two cups, pouring half a glass for himself and Barrett.
"Well, this tastes better than expected!" said the mage's eyes lit up, "I remember, this is the 'Lonely Heart', this wine is brewed with a large number of Void Flowers, so that its form in the main matter plane will be extraordinarily condensed and thick. This wine enhances the affinity of dimensional beings like you and me to the Void, and I recommend drinking more if you're planning to venture into the Void in the future. ”
He raised his glass and gestured to the barbarian.
There hasn't been such an opportunity in the near future, I haven't even walked a hundredth of this continent, let alone the Alien Plane and the Void," Barrett thought, taking a heavy sip of the deep black liquid in the cup that seemed to suck all the light into it......
When the barbarian talked about the moonless night, Mage Alvin's face showed an inexplicable smile, but he didn't ask more, and he didn't ask the barbarian to show him the 'place of eternal sleep' for his appreciation, which couldn't help but make Barrett breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
'The Land of Eternal Sleep' is linked to the [Mission Log], and there are many details that are unclear.
And when Barrett recounted the battle with Viscount Fred and took out the Lich Chest, the mage's expression became a little more serious, "That guy Fred is not like other high-level undead, we have actually been paying attention to it for a long time and have tried to communicate with it several times, but Fred has always avoided us. ”
The mage played with the lich life box in his hand, "Actually, the guild can easily find Fried, after all, the entire enclosed space is a little bigger, and it will not escape into the dark realm." But because of what happened to Giethoorn...... , you know, the Magic Association is guilty of this after all, so it doesn't want to force it again. However, Fried's luck in killing the lich who created and enslaved it had a lot to do with us mages and Ramsden. ”
"Ramsden?
"An abomination, the same abomination as Gerdor. It was Ramsden, the Abomination, who fought the Lich from the Dark Realm and seriously injured the Lich, before Fried had a chance to break free when he was created. Gen Alvin explained.
Then the mage unscrewed a dark red bottle of 'fine wine', which was soaked in the heart of an unknown creature that was still beating. The dark red liquid in the bottle rolled up and down with the contraction of the heart, and it looked a little terrifying.
The mage beckoned two more glasses and poured Barrett a small amount of the blood-like drink, "Is there anything else you want to say?" he asked.
Barrett looked at the wine in the glass, hesitated, and told the healer what he had seen and heard. It was a bit absurd to say, but if he didn't say it, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After hearing this, Master Alvin took a sip of the 'blood' in the cup like a vampire, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and asked Barritt, "Do you know that in the past, Clover City was actually the royal capital of a human country?"
"Kingdom of Tomily, I heard before I came. Barrett replied.
"Do you know the founding queen of this kingdom, and the religion she believes?" the mage asked again.
"Religion? I haven't heard of that. The brute shook his head
"This whole thing, how to put it, has actually been buried since the first time the kingdom of Tomili was destroyed. The mage sighed, "Forget it, this mess isn't what you should know by now. At this point, let's figure out how we should pay you. ”
