Mr. Coogle, who had been more composure before, now showed a hint of unease. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info this time Dominic did not let go of the opportunity, he was not aggressive, but stepped forward and pretended to be concerned. "Oh, hey, hey, Mr. Coogle. What's the matter, is the dreary air of the underground hallucinating you? You look terrible, do you need to see a crow doctor?"

His words were like a message, both to Evie's attention and to Mr. Coogle's heart. He pushed his round-rimmed glasses, trying to keep his sweaty face just from the sweltering heat. Unfortunately, it wasn't hot, on the contrary, Evie and Dominic felt a hint of shade. "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your concern, in fact, I have always believed in Remidia, and God has always given me the motivation to move forward. ”

"I didn't really mean to offend, I was just curious. What happened on the plains of Amiens is definitely not a good memory for you, is it also a god that cheers you up?" Dominic said, but he had already scolded this guy ten thousand times in his heart.

"I think so. Kugel nodded hurriedly. "After all, everybody has to look forward, don't they? I can't stay in the glory of the past, and I knew it was gone when the war destroyed that winery. ”

"Sounds more like a knight's confession, haha, funny, Mr. Coogle!" Dominic laughed, picking up his pace so that his body was no longer parallel to Coogle, and he couldn't hold any affection for this perfunctory, lie-filled fellow now.

In fact, there are many branches in the underpass, which is why Kugel said that he did not have the right to take the two of them to see the place, and he really did not lie at this point, because many of the branch roads lead to the various military camps in the city. Since that Huttonmar attack, the Duchy has built these underground passages in case it happens a second time. This is a double-edged sword, though, as the invading enemy forces could have taken control of the underground tunnels and would have sentenced the town to death.

Kugel wiped his sweat and watched Evie's reaction behind him out of the corner of his eye. He was reassured that the priestess did not look to his side, but to observe the wet ground along the road. Although Evie's behavior did not make Kugel feel any more reassuring, because he had to be aware of something, about something he didn't want to reveal.

Dominic walked a dozen steps forward and then lost his direction, after all, it was his first time here. So he could only endure the unhappiness in his heart, stop his pace and wait for Kugel to continue to lead the way. As he passed him, Coogle threw him a not-so-good-looking smile that made Dominic want to spit out the steak for lunch.

"It's coming soon. Kugel reminded.

"You can guess. Dominic said. "After all, the kitchen is next to the banquet hall in the town hall, and the whole distance is less than a hundred meters. ”

When Kugel led the two to a locked wooden door, they knew they had completed the entire route to deliver the wine. Kugel raised his hand and pointed to the wooden door, and spoke. "Behind that door is the kitchen. ”

"Okay, I got it. We'll stay here and won't go to the other side of the door. I can't get a piece of apple pie from there, can I?" said Dominic, joking nonchalantly.

"You're still so obsessed with apple pie, Dominic. Evie couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course, it would be nice to add a little rum and vanilla to the filling. Speaking of rum, Mr. Coogle, do you have any good recommendations?" Dominic's sudden, inexplicable question caught Kugel off guard, and he froze in place for quite some time, until Dominic patted him on the shoulder. "What's the matter, Mr. Coogle......? Uncomfortable?"

Kugel quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I'm just wondering which kind of rum is better." He was perfunctory.

"So, what's the answer?" asked Dominic, pretending to be interested.

"If you're using it to flavor apple pie fillings, I recommend using Sea of Gold Black Rum. I don't know how to cook, but many chefs have told me that seasoning pastries with a sea of gold will make them more mellow and rich. ”

"The Sea of Gold? Is that the dark rum that the pirates used to roam the seas made? I really didn't expect it, honestly, and I finally think the pirates had done a good thing. Dominic shrugged.

"Sir?" Coogle felt more and more that things were going on a strange track, starting from Dominic's inexplicable suggestion to himself about what rum to season with food.

Evie winked at Dominic, who coughed and spoke again. "How do I get that wine, you know, the Hutton Mar people don't like rum, they prefer beer and tequila. ”

"Actually, I have it in the Principality's wine cellar that I manage. Coogle replied.

Dominic immediately took a bag of money from the pocket of his robe and took it in his hand and checked it. "Can you get me some?"

Honestly, Kugel must admit that at that moment he was in a cold sweat all over his body. In any case, he did not expect Dominic to suddenly make this request to himself, and he thought that today was simply a bad day. Dominic waited patiently for Kugel's response, but at the same time did not give up on persuasion, he continued. "I'll pay you an extra sum when you give the wine away. ”

Kugel cautiously looked at the bulging money bag in Dominic's hand, which had to contain tens of thousands of gold coins, to say the least. He didn't know how a clergyman managed to get that much money, but he knew that these ugly things couldn't be avoided no matter where they were. But he wasn't a man of great respect for the gods, so he began to waver. "I ...... I ......"

"Think about it, Mr. Coogle. Dominic sat on the discarded barrel placed in the passage. "You can do many things with the money, including ......" he deliberately did not continue, but waited for Kugel to respond. And Kugel had to admit that the thought had once again taken shape in his mind, and he was ready to give up, after doing it. Finally, he nodded slowly and said. "I'll help you, how much do you need?"

"I need to figure out how you're going to get the wine out first, there will be guards guarding the exits of this underground passage, what are you going to do?" said Dominic, who had already thrown the money bag into Kugel's hand. The latter looked at the heavy bag of money, not knowing what kind of expression to show.

"Can you keep it a secret for me if I say it?" asked Kugel cautiously.

"Of course, I'm from the Order, not from the Duchy, you just have to remember that. ”

Kugel nodded, and after taking a deep breath, he said the solution. "Actually, I've secretly hired some of Huttonmar's idle mercenaries to dig an extra passage that I can use to transport the wine out safely without any of the guards noticing. ”

"So how do you get the casks out of the cellar?" asked Dominic.

"Usually after midnight, the guards of the guarded cellar go back to sleep. In fact, it doesn't make much sense for this cellar to be guarded by manpower, because the duchy is not rich in fine wine, and the large and small taverns of Huttonmar are enough to satisfy the drunkards here. I'll help me carry the liquor you need after midnight through my privately hired mercenaries to the exit of the passage, which is in the first alley to the right at the intersection of Huttonmar Market and Backstreet, where you can wait to pick up your order. ”

Dominic suddenly showed a sneer and said in a low voice. "Looks like you've planned it well, Mr. Coogle, and I think the only thing you didn't expect was that two clerics would be here after you made that deal?"

"What deal?" the sudden anti-transfer Kugel became panicked, and just before he could make the next move, Evie had already stepped out of the shadows behind him and pressed the cross against his back. "Admit it, Mr. Kugel. ”

"Congratulations, Mr. Coogle, first prize. Dominic sneered, snapped his fingers, and stood up from the barrel.
