The bidding process is quick. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there were only 2,700 barrels, the enthusiasm of the nobles remained undiminished. Several veteran aristocrats, including Duke Celine, raised the price of ordinary flaming ale to 17 carts. With the exception of the nobles who were purchased solely for the sake of showing off, the introduction price as a sale was beyond the affordability of the vast majority of nobles.

However, the scale of the nobles invited by the old butler this time was much larger than before. Many of the nobles were not able to obtain even a single barrel of flaming ale, and the discontent slowly began to spread.

However, the old butler was still there, and even if he looked at the dissatisfied eyes of the nobles, he didn't explain much.

"I really don't know what's the use of inviting so many escorts?, does the Flame Territory still need to raise its price in this way?" Duke Celine returned with a full load, and obtained the right to sell 300 barrels of Flame Ale. He still criticized it unceremoniously.

Several nobles, including the black chess family, had ugly faces, and due to the limited amount of funds, they did not get the required weight in the distribution of shares this time.

"Please stay. ”

As the nobles were about to walk out of the mansion, the old butler who had been greeting him spoke.

"Did Your Excellency invite us here just to raise the price? Your purpose has been achieved, and it should be none of our business, right? These families didn't have anything good to say for the initiators, so they responded unceremoniously.

"It was definitely a misunderstanding. The old butler smiled faintly, "I have been a housekeeper in the Flame Territory for more than 40 years, how could I do such a thing that would damage the dignity of the family." I want you to stay for a while, but there is a great benefit that I want to share with you. ”

"Benefits?" the representative of the Black Chess Family sneered first, "Can you still conjure up a flaming ale?"

"If you're all right today. You might as well stay in the territory for a while. In the evening, after the dust settles on the follow-up matters of the bid. The old man has some surprises for you. Rather than go home empty-handed, it's better to wait. We may be able to satisfy you. The old butler's smile remained unchanged as he spoke to a group of nobles.

These nobles were a little unclear, but they heard a trace of unusual information from the mouth of the old butler.

"Is there really another flaming ale?" everyone looked at each other, but if there was a real chance to get a surplus of flaming ale, these people would not give up the opportunity.

"So to speak. It's okay if we stay a little longer. The representative of the Black Chess family spoke, and he discussed with the nobles around him for a while, and finally negotiated with the old butler as a representative.

"But you know that. We don't want to go home empty-handed. But also don't want to be deceived. If you are going to use some low-level means, I think you should know the consequences. ”

The old butler nodded undeniably, "Then, at ten o'clock tonight, I will be at the former site of the Duke's Palace, waiting for your visit." ”

The representative of the black chess family gave the old butler a deep look, and then turned away with many nobles.

The former site of the Ducal Palace. Nobles who know a little bit about the Duke of Flame know that this is the old mansion where the old Duke was located before Duke Anne changed his territorial strategy and fully opened up for tourism and exhibitions. The location is more remote because the old duke likes to be quiet. The former mansion was built on the hill of a hunting woodland. It's no longer in use.

Anne wanted to have a bigger development, a more open space. These are not the same as the old duke's conceptions. The nobles of the older generation are more concerned about stability and calm. Annie's generation, on the other hand, wants more publicity and expansion.

The difference between the old and the new finally led Anne to rebuild the Duke's Palace in front of an artificial lake near the exit of the mansion. Originally used as a guest residence, it has become the main building of the Duke's Palace.

Anne was not as fond of being on top as the old duke, and she chose to live here to get up close and personal with the guests and people she entertained. This move made Duke Anne's reputation for being approachable widely spread.

The old site of the Duke's Palace, which the old butler said, basically had to enter from another road. Although it is considered to be in the duke's manor, there are many more roads to walk from the front than the road behind the hunting ground.

Although this group of nobles did not know why they were so mysterious, they were also silent for reasons of interest.

A few hours later.

At the entrance to the former site of the Duke's Palace, representatives of the Black Chess family and others arrived as scheduled.

"I've been waiting for a long time. The old butler said, "I think you are all anxious because the bidding in the morning has not been fruitless. Then please join me and see what I have in store for you. ”

The nobles nodded their heads one after another, chatting, and followed the old butler towards the old mansion of the Duke's Palace.

"You probably don't know. The old butler led the way, explaining as he went. "Blazing ale was not originally developed by the Duke's Court itself. ”

"When it comes to the best winemakers in the world, it has never been human. From ancient times, it was a race that could make ale wine taste excellent and become addictive as soon as you drank it. There are only elves. And the best among them is the Spirit Fox clan who have never been short of food. The old butler talked about it, "The origin of the Flame Ale is an improvement from the way the Linghu Ale is made. The taste of the wine is more suitable for humans, and the selection of materials and ingredients are much simpler. ”

"So the elf wine, which is extremely rare in itself, has been mass-produced in the name of flaming ale?" one of the nobles asked.

"So to speak. The old butler nodded, "To be precise, it was the Flame Duke's spoils of war from the alien race after he conquered the territory. Since it is too rare, it preserves the taste in order to increase the yield. The winemakers of the Duke's Court have put a lot of effort into it. ”

"At that time, the Duke's Mansion did not kill all the Spirit Fox Clansmen. The old butler's voice was cruel, "but left a part of it." It doesn't matter if it's benevolent or for profit. We have always kept the people of these elves and let them continue to live on the continent. ”

Eventually, the old butler led the nobles to the villa on the site of the Duke's Palace, and stretched out his hand to the large pile of wine barrels standing in front of the villa. "This is what I call a surprise. A truly pure fairy ale, the predecessor of the Blazing Ale. The ale that took hundreds of remnants of the Spirit Fox Clan to brew for three years, I can solemnly assure you. The quality of these wines is definitely higher than that of ordinary blazing ales. ”

"There are 5,000 barrels of ale like this, do you think it's a surprise?"

"What?!"

The nobles immediately exploded, and the representatives of the black chess family also looked at the old butler dumbfounded.

"I heard you right!"

"That's 5,000 barrels!"

"What about the selling price? We need to know the selling price. The representative of the black chess family spoke quickly, as if the stunned expression just now was not from him.

"That's a good question. The old butler responded, "If it's price." It only sells 5 carts a barrel. ”

This is another eye-popping number.

The aristocrats were amazed. However, this does not prove that this wine is indeed a low-priced, high-quality blazing ale.

"To prove the quality. You can choose any barrel of ale to taste. The old butler stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please. Immediately, some nobles could not bear it anymore and stepped forward.

Reaching out to open a bucket, several nobles each took a small cup and drank it into their mouths.

"What is this?!"

Several of the nobles who tasted it stood still, and the representative of the black chess family was also one of them, his expression was shocked, and his face seemed to have a dyeing workshop, and colorful colors poured into his face.

"Are you making some kind of bad joke?!" the representative of the Black Chess Clan roared irrepressibly, "Old fellow, if you want to provoke our family, you have done it completely!"

"Uh?" said the old butler, "where did you begin to say this?"

"Taste it for yourself!" the representative of the black chess family tossed the wine glass in his hand to the old butler.

The old butler hurriedly caught it, took a glass of wine in confusion, and drank it into his mouth. "What is this?"

"This is clearly an inferior ordinary ale wine!Our family's chefs make better fruit wine than this!" the representative of the Black Chess family yelled angrily.

"This can't be!" cried the old butler as he took another glass, and his voice shrill strangely. However, the feeling of tasting the mouth is the same as what the other party said.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" the old butler rushed to the barrels like a madman, and opened one barrel after another. However, the ale contained in each cask is an inferior grade ale, as if it were a waste of ale wine. As more barrels were opened, a pungent smell of inferior alcohol wafted out. It made the nobles around them frown.

"What a surprise. Some of the nobles couldn't take it anymore and said sarcastically. "The old guy must have lost his mind. Playing us like this. ”

Saying that these nobles left one by one, their faces were full of dissatisfaction and anger, if nothing else, these people probably won't let go of the old butler when they go back, and they will not be able to please the aristocratic group like this, even if they are the butlers of the Duke's Palace.

"Old fellow, I advise you to prepare yourself for the future. The representative of the black chess family had a sneering look on his face, and he spoke with a cold air. "In this world, there is no shortage of accidents. ”

The implication is that the old butler has been taken as a target for elimination.

"Wait, wait a minute!" the old butler pounced at the feet of the representative of the black chess family, "This is not my batch of ale, absolutely not." Ah, where are those damn guys hiding? Bhadra! I can explain it all. We bought and arrested hundreds of people from the Spirit Fox Clan. We've made thousands of barrels of flaming ale! We've got it! It's not our wine!"

The old butler was already incoherent. The representative of the black chess family sneered and kicked the old butler away. The indifferent eyes were filled with anger and murderous aura, and he shook his head disdainfully. He turned and walked towards the outside of the mansion.

"That's not true!" the old butler puffed out, which was a sign of extreme excitement. He pinched the corner of the barrel helplessly, and roared loudly.

"Get out of here!"

"Are you looking for this crumb?"

A clear voice came, and then a round object slammed down in front of the old butler.

It was a human head!

"Badla!" cried the old butler in horror. "What the hell are you?!"

"You won't know me so soon. The figure of the egret walked out of the darkness, followed by Lodi and the others. Even Duke Anne was among them.

"So, please explain what happened here. Mr. Felon of the Empire!"
