Chapter Seventy-Five: Alger's Gift
After lunch, Liang Ke couldn't wait to come to Bishop Alger's office, the bishop's eyes were a little bad, he was wearing narrow gold-wire glasses at the moment, looking at a thick canon through the afternoon sun, the old man saw Liang Ke walk in, politely closed the book, got up and invited Liang Ke to sit on the sofa, and personally poured a small glass of amber wine for Liang Ke.

"Colonel Aragon must have never drunk this kind of wine, old man, I am usually reluctant to drink it! This is the famous 'Dragon's Sorrow' in the whole continent, the annual output does not exceed a hundred bottles, I have been getting this bottle of wine for many years, and I have not been willing to drink a few sips, today I can borrow your light to taste this intoxicating divine product again. After speaking, he raised his hand slightly and raised the small and delicate wine glass, and gently touched it with Liang Ke's wine glass, and the wine glass made a soft sound of "ding!"
Liang Ke pursed his lips, stretched out the tip of his tongue, and licked it gently, this wine is slightly bitter in the mouth, when the wine is accompanied by the saliva stimulated by the bitterness flows to the root of the tongue, and begins to become unusually sweet, this sweet but not strong, long aftertaste, when the wine slowly flows into the esophagus with warmth, the pure aroma of the wine is thoroughly catalyzed, the aroma goes against the trend, directly into the brain, so that the drinker has a comfortable sense of dizziness, and finally this aroma overflows along the mouth and nose, even the people around you will smell the refreshing pineapple fruit wood fragrance.
"Sure enough, it's the best in the world, good wine!" Liang Ke recovered from this intoxicated dizziness and couldn't help but praise again and again.
"Hahaha!" 'Dragon's Sorrow' is of course superb, and it cannot be overstated in any words, and its value cannot be measured in money. The old man shook the little wine left in the glass to allow the aroma to fully evaporate, and at the same time gave Liang Ke a literacy.
"There are many legends about this wine, but there is only one that everyone agrees on. The reason why this wine is called 'Dragon's Sorrow' is mainly because of the craftsmanship used to make it. It is said that the inventor of this sake was the first to discover the secret that dragon's tears can be used to make wine, and the slight bitterness you feel when you drink it just now is the taste of dragon's tears. The clever fellow mixed the juice of the crown pear with the dragon's tears and the unknown spices to make this magical liquor. As soon as this near-miraculous drink was created, it swept the aristocratic high-ranking of the entire continent, and the winemakers naturally made a lot of money. Later, in order to make and sell more of this fine wine, that guy actually issued a high-reward task in the Hunters' Guild to collect dragon tears, and under the temptation of gold coins, many adventurers sneaked into Dragon Island for a while, slaughtered young dragons, stole dragon eggs, and induced dragons to cry and weep, so that they could get the dragon tears they wanted. It wasn't long before Clifford, the blue dragon who had traveled across the continent, returned to Dragon Island and found that the dragons were all immersed in grief, and he immediately remembered the abominable winemaker's mission. The angry Blue Dragon Clifford led the Dragon Guards to slaughter all the adventurers hidden around the Dragon Island overnight, and then led the guards out of the Dragon Island, set foot on the mainland, and chased the despicable winemaker everywhere on the mainland, but the cunning winemaker got the news early and fled from his homeland, and the Blue Dragon Clifford was furious and destroyed all the belongings of that guy, and warned the human nobles to stop drinking this wine. But you must know that human beings are a greedy race, when people taste this kind of wine, how can they put it down? Later, the guy who hid himself secretly united many kings and grand dukes, and sent envoys to Dragon Island to negotiate, and agreed to buy some dragon tears from Dragon Island at a high price every year, and the Dragon Emperor also knew that once human desires were aroused, it would be difficult to eliminate, so he agreed to limit himself to ten drops per year, and this measure would never increase. You see, the phrase 'the dragon's sorrow' is a pun, both the fact that the wine contains the dragon's tears, and it is also a kind of irony of the dragon's helpless choice. ā
Liang Ke laughed when he heard it.
"I didn't expect that the arrogant dragon had no way to bully such a small winemaker, why didn't they find a way to kill this guy?"
"That's the great thing about that winemaker, many people have drunk his wine, but so far, no one has seen him in real terms. Bishop Alger drank the wine from his glass and took a sip to experience its unique aroma.
Liang Ke also drank the last drop of wine, gently put the crystal clear and delicate wine glass on the coffee table, and slowly asked, "Lord Bishop, I am here today mainly for ......"
Before Liang Ke finished speaking, Bishop Alger smiled and shook his hand at Liang Ke, interrupted Liang Ke's words, got up and walked around behind the heavy desk, opened the drawer and pulled out a tray covered with yellow velvet cloth, walked back cautiously, put the tray on the coffee table, and pushed it to Liang Ke.
"Open it up and see if that's what you want. ā
Liang Ke's expression at the moment was as hideous and terrifying as a ghost, although he tried his best to hide his uneasiness, but the feeling of being seen through and naked still made his heart beat wildly. He forced his composure and slowly pulled away the piece of velvet, and a few crystal balls with dark green and gray were exposed to the afternoon sun, which looked so dazzling. Yes, when he walked into the room, little Katyusha had already sensed the existence of those crystal balls and told Liang Ke as soon as possible. Liang Keqiang patiently drank the expensive glass of wine, and was about to find some reason to ask Alger for it, but he didn't expect that the old man had already known that he wanted these crystal balls, and immediately brought them to him. This feeling of being seen through brought Liang Ke extreme uneasiness, he subconsciously hooked his right leg, his right hand slid from the knee to the crook of the leg, and then down an inch, he was able to reach the handle of the military thorn, and his left hand gently stroked the demon dragon egg on his chest, and silently asked Achilles to prepare the most powerful soul attack magic in his heart.
Alger looked at Liang Ke's face that was hideous because of fear, and laughed.
"Monsieur Aragorn, don't be nervous, I said you are an angel of God, God has given me a revelation. Last night, God revealed to me that you would need these crystal balls, but God didn't say what you were going to do with them. ā
"Oracle? Hahaha! If I'm an oracle, why didn't God tell me?"
"This ...... Maybe God doesn't need to, who knows, God doesn't need to think about our feelings!"
"If I am an oracle, can you tell me which one my master is?"
"This ...... I don't know, I'm afraid it will take a proper time, and you yourself will get the oracle to understand everything. ā
"So that means that my oracle is currently only appointed by you?"
"Hehehe! You're kidding. I, the bishop, am at best God's servant on earth, so where is I qualified to appoint a divine messenger?"
Liang Ke frowned slightly, and asked quickly, "Then why did you say that I am a divine envoy in front of people this morning?"
"I didn't say that, you see, and I don't call you an oracle now. Everything is my guess based on the oracle that you may be, but I personally believe that you are the oracle. As for why I say it, it is because Cape Rambet needs a hero like you now, and I don't want to see a gloomy fog over the city, and giving hope to those innocent civilians will be the driving force for Cape Rambet's existence. ā
"Okay, my oracle wants to ask you, a servant, that God told you I need these crystal balls?"
Alger smiled and said, "The oracle is always so unfathomable, the god only says that the divine envoy needs to master the source of evil, and the light and shadow that changes in the gray will give the divine envoy a revelation." I'm just guessing, but fortunately, if I want to talk about something related to sin, it can only be these crystal balls left by necromancers, and it seems that I guessed correctly. ā
Liang Ke saw that Alger didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask deeply, since God asked him to give it to him, of course, he didn't need to be polite, put away the three crystal balls, got up and left. Alger looked at Liang Ke's back and didn't know what to think.
After Liang Ke returned to his residence, he called Xin Jiaer and used the method last time to forcibly unravel the information left in the crystal balls. Two of the recorded information, before the information they already had, recorded some of the superficial ideas that Gandosa had just begun to study the mysteries of eternal life, and at that time, he had not yet grasped the right direction. The information in the last crystal ball surprised Liang Ke and the others, and the ugly Gandosa in the picture looked extremely excited, and his voice was a little trembling.
"Right...... That's right, that's it!" Gandosa put down the delicate porcelain vase in his hand, and watched as the turquoise liquid slowly seeped into the soil, and the withered butterfly orchid slowly regained its vitality and bloomed with greenery, his ugly cheeks twitched, and the excitement in his heart could no longer be concealed.
"My guess is right, what immortality is the exclusive ability of gods, these powerful races actually continue part of the bloodline of the gods, as long as their essence can be fully extracted, then making people immortal is definitely not a myth. It seems that the Orc Gold is indeed much stronger than the dragon's vitality, and I think I need to go to the Orc Kingdom to get more blood from the Behemoth. Hey, I have everything, but I still lack a strong soul! A strong soul, where to find this......"
Gandosa muttered out of the lab after a busy moment.
Liang Ke, Xin Jiaer, and Lao Saimen looked at each other, and after a long time, Lao Saimen sighed lightly and broke the silence first.
"It seems that Gandosa's predecessor should have gone to the Orc Empire later. ā
"Yes, at least he's been there. Liang Ke put away the crystal balls and pushed them in front of Xin Jiaer.
"So, are we going to the Orc Empire to find the traces of the ancestors next?" Xin Jiaer carefully put the crystal balls into the leather bag he carried with him and tied them around his waist.
Liang Ke raised his eyes and looked at the anxious Xin Jiaer, pinched his brows and said: "I am going to go, but now we are surrounded here and can't get out, besides, if the war doesn't end, that old guy from Kan Delun won't let me go." Singar, we now have the direction of recourse, don't be anxious, I think if Mr. Gandosa is still alive, then he must be well hidden, and there will be no danger. ā
Old Simon also hurriedly persuaded: "Yes, Mr. Aragorn is right, not in a hurry at this time, it is better to solve the trouble in front of him first." By the way, Mr. Aragorn, I heard that you have to go to the orc camp alone at night to find out the information, this is too dangerous, do you think old Simon can help you?"
Aragorn was grateful for Simon's kindness, but after thinking about it, he decided to go according to his plan.
"Haha! Thank you Elder Simon for your kindness, I'm much more hidden by myself, and during my absence, you can protect Xinjiaer, and I'll study everything carefully when I come back." ā
Xin Jiaer saw that Liang Ke looked resolute and resolute, his small mouth opened but he didn't say a word, Jun's face was slightly red, and he left with Simon to say goodbye.
