Chapter 399: Drunken Dream Back
"Your Highness, what do you want to do!"
Schubert, who was sitting next to him, whispered a reminder to Roryne, but his tone was clearly warning and reproachful.
Who knew that the target did not appreciate it, and continued to lash at Xiao Yi with a big grin:
"You are that Xiao Yi!"
"I am, what advice does Your Highness have!" Xiao Yi did not shy away from it.
"Don't dare to give advice, after all, you alone have caused our army to lose nearly 100,000 lives, and I, the general who led the troops to fight, have killed people to this extent from leading the troops to now, and you have done it in just one battle!
It's just that I never knew that the executioner with blood on his hands was like this, which is a bit surprising!"
"Prince Lorien, I ask you to retract what you just said!" Hearing this, Kevin's face changed directly, how gentle and elegant he was before, and how cold he was now with annoyance.
No matter how much information he had received about Rorien before, at this time he had to reassess whether this reckless prince who was famous throughout the continent was really what he looked like.
Because if these words just now came from his own mouth, then the viciousness of his mind was no less than that of the top poisonous demonic beast on the continent, the Colored Winged Wind Snake.
The profession of alchemist has the most erudite name and the most revered status, which is indeed true and reasonable. But like the aristocratic class, this circle also has arrogant xenophobic ideas and rotten latent rules.
One of them is that the alchemist is an elegant and righteous existence, and any alchemist who swears at the beginning of learning alchemy is to fight for the progress and truth of mankind, although it is extremely ironic that most alchemy products and techniques are used in battle, but the reputation of the alchemist on the surface cannot be tarnished!
His accusations against Xiao Yi were so serious that no one cared if he did so in accordance with his status and etiquette, and all turned to focus on an executioner who used alchemy as a tool of war and was saddled with the name of killing, and he should never be qualified to sit with them here.
And at that time, Fei Lun and Jenkins, who had seen Xiao Yi's lost state when they were cleaning up the battlefield, would naturally pass on the news to Lodivan and Vincent, so these words may not only ruin Xiao Yi's reputation, but even his heart may be hit hard.
Therefore, Kevin did not hesitate to turn his face on the spot and risk the diplomatic accident that caused the war, but he also had to defend Xiao Yi, because he didn't know if the other party really knew something, and if something happened to Xiao Yi because of this, it would be the biggest loss for the whole empire!
As the one who was accused, Xiao Yi calmly stood up and stretched out his hand to make a downward motion in front of Kevin, signaling his body that leaned forward and almost slipped off the chair to calm down, and then said unhurriedly to Roryne:
"Your Highness Roryne, I don't know that you have such strange logic, or is this the arrogance that you naturally possess as a member of the imperial family with the strongest force on the continent?
Invaders always have to pay the price, so consider this premise when calculating your casualties. And I believe that the responsibility of being an alchemist is not just to devote oneself to one's own research and to the teaching of one's apprentices, my teacher once told me that 'with great power comes great responsibility', and as a citizen of Aishin, I do not think that there is anything wrong with using what I have learned to defend the country.
Of course, if you have to say that these people died because of me, I won't refute it, even the gods have legends of war and killing, if you really care so much about life, why train a strong army for the country, and call on people to disarm and return to the field is the right solution, isn't it?
And you even remember how many enemies you have led the army to kill so far, I'm afraid you didn't go into battle yourself for this in the first place!"
Xiao Yi's words were loud and fair, especially about the responsibility of the alchemist, which attracted the attention and thinking of everyone present.
Seeing this, Luo Ryan surprisingly did not continue to have a seizure, but laughed:
"Hahaha, I'm a rough person who only knows how to fight, but I just said a few words casually, I didn't expect your reaction to be so big, you learned people really can't be offended!
I just tasted the liquor in the sauce of the previous dish, and for a while I made a small request, but I didn't expect it to attract so many rebuttals.
Why, look at what you've been saying as if tonight's food is unparalleled in the world, can't even my little request be satisfied!"
Seeing the sudden change in Luo Ruien's words, Xiao Yi understood that it was not appropriate to entangle more at this time, but the other party's run still had to be accepted.
"In this way, does Your Highness think that the flavor of the dishes is not to your taste!"
"No, it's just that I've always liked a rough style, a small request, if you can't do it, forget it!"
"The unified menu is not easy to change special dishes for you alone, and it is difficult to form a connection and echo with the taste of the dishes before and after, but I have a wine here that can meet His Royal Highness's requirements, but this wine is very strong, I don't know ......."
"Don't worry about this! Men should drink the strongest liquor, and then be happy in the battle array. ”
"That's true, but I'm worried that His Royal Highness has a noble status, and if he gets drunk, I'm afraid it's not good!"
"I'm even more interested in hearing you say that, what kind of ability do you have to take it out!"
"Good!"
Xiao Yi's answer was concise and to the point, and it came as he said it.
Directly take out the raw materials from the space and start to operate, bartending does not require too much space and tools like cooking, but Xiao Yi's movements do not feel like a bartender in a bar, but instead make a show of alchemy operation with the various bottles and cans in front of him and the liquids in them.
Moments later, a glass of drink with two layered gradient colors, turquoise and sky blue, appeared in front of Roryne's eyes.
Not polite at all, raising his glass with playful eyes, Rorien took a big sip of the liquid wine in the crystal glass, and instantly a hot stream went all the way down his mouth and throat, and suddenly exploded in his chest.
It was indeed very enjoyable and energetic, and Luo Ruien, who was holding back his cough, secretly said that he was lucky in his heart, and at the same time he was thinking about how to launch a language offensive against Xiao Yi.
But just thinking of this, he suddenly formed a mixture of bitterness and sweetness in his mouth, and at the same time, his mind was in a trance, his nervous body instantly relaxed, and his thoughts couldn't help but fly away from the scene, returning to the palace thousands of miles away, where the two young brothers snuggled up in the warm embrace of their mother, and the stern but affectionate gaze of their father. Then time and space passed, the mother's death, the father's preference for his younger brother's intelligence, the persuasion and instigation of the retainers and nobles, the life of the horse was born to the death, and the endless desire for power and scheming took turns to fight, and the emotions of jealousy, frustration, exhaustion, happiness, family affection, and perseverance emerged one after another.
Xiao Yi's voice lingered in his ears: "This wine is called 'Drunken Dream Return', what does Your Highness think!"
So the salty liquid fell down his face, and the arrogant and arrogant prince of the Mainke Empire burst into tears.
