CHAPTER XV
Bingliu walked out of a spatial rift made up of spells and followed Chang. Chang sensed her presence but didn't look back, he continued walking, dragging a thin shadow down on the black marble tiles of the gray Blood Palace.
Snow-white candles were extinguished on the walls, and the outermost wall of the palace was almost a balustrade similar to that of the Dorian archaic period, and the low relief walls were only waist-high, and the moonlight shone through the night air, leaving a faint glow.
Stand still and wait for the person behind you to speak. Bingliu took a deep breath and said, "The formation is complete." ”
“...... That's right. Chang pursed his lower lip lightly, "Is your body okay?"
Bingliu replied truthfully: "Because I used 'that', I don't have any discomfort now." ”
"Do you want to hang out with me?"
Bingliu was stunned: Chang didn't look like he was talking back at this time, but he couldn't be talking in the dark now. Odd!
She didn't see that "Chang" was just a junior in the blood clan, and he was just a child. Although there have been so many years......
Although he had doubts in his heart, Bingliu agreed without hesitation. Obeying her master's orders has always been the meaning of her existence.
Then, under the crooked moon, two figures walked out of the royal palace of the blood clan, and gradually faded away, blending into the night.
"How did it feel to see the scenery outside for the first time?" Chang asked Bingliu a little playfully.
Bingliu replied stiffly: "It's a little dark, I can't see clearly." ”
"......" choked. The heart said that you don't have night blindness, and your eyes are good. But Chang didn't care, he casually walked into a small bar on the way, sat down on the bar, and asked, "Have a glass of juniper berries 1 plus raw berries, mix two pieces of ice, thank you." ”
The young bartender with long black hair answered and asked, "Alone?"
"No—I'd like another glass of sparkling honey^peach champagne for this guy next to me. With that, Chang winked at Bingliu.
Less than three minutes later, the wine was already on the table. The color of juniper berries is reddish and brownish-purple, like fine mahogany. The honey ^ peach champagne is a crystal clear tender yellow, faintly revealing a light rosé. The pink foam is thick but not heavy, and it makes you feel cool at first glance, and you can't help but want to eat it. The soft liquor is served in a small and tall glass, like a crystal clear, and it is even more delicate and lovely.
Chang pushed the glass of champagne to Bingliu: "Drink it, its degree is relatively low, and it is not easy to get drunk." ”
Bingliu stretched out her delicate but slightly pale fingers, picked up the champagne glass, and took a sip. It is refreshing and long, with a slight sweetness like honey, and the taste reaches the chest after just one sip. Bingliu swallowed for a while before replying, "Thank you, it's very sweet and delicious." ”
Chang laughed silently, picked up the glass of juniper berries, which looked a little swarthy in the dark light, and took a sip.
At this time, a middle-aged male voice beside him shouted in a thick voice: "Damn, why is your glass of champagne so light?"
Chang and Bingliu looked at the man beside him, the man's figure was a little fat, his appearance was not good, but his dress was quite a nouveau riche style. He was now calling the bartender in a loud reprimand.
When I heard it, the relationship was that the big guy had made an appointment with his girlfriend and asked for two glasses of rose champagne for romance, but when he tasted it, he felt that his mouth was full of lightness, and he heard Bingliu say that her champagne was very sweet, so he thought that he had been deceived, so he was angry.
Glancing at the confused and dazed bartender who was scolded very embarrassed, and then at the champagne that the man had finished drinking, Chang laughed secretly, shook his head slightly and stepped forward.
"This gentleman," he said, interrupting the chatter of accusations, smiled as he said, "Do you usually like to drink hard liquor?"
The man was stunned for a moment, nodded and said. "Why, can't you drink champagne with a different taste?" the tone was aggressive, obviously still angry.
Chang said calmly: "No wonder I feel that there is a problem with the wine. What you don't know is not the taste of rosé champagne, but its aroma. Rosé champagne itself is characterized by being cool and light, and has strict requirements for aroma, generally taking leisurely, elegant, sweet but not greasy as the main points, belonging to dry champagne or very dry champagne, and it will also vary according to the personal factors of the bartender. In my opinion, this wine is already very satisfying. He paused, then said, "Of course, if you don't have a habit of drinking a lower alcohol or are a wine taster, it's easier to misunderstand." Am I right?" he said, looking at the bartender and the woman across the table.
There was silence in the bar. The bartender lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, his sweat-soaked black hair stuck to the side of his face, and the woman seemed a little surprised, and when she saw Chang asking, she lightly opened her lips and said, "That's true." Sir, you seem to know a lot about this. ”
Chang smiled, and his dark green eyes after makeup were bent into a pool of blue water: "Miss, you have won the award, but I am just curious about this." I just don't like people who are loyal to their duties to be misunderstood. He bowed slowly and sat back in his seat.
The bartender seemed to have recovered for a long time, and quickly bowed to Chang: "Thank you so much, sorry for your trouble." ”
Chang looked at the nervous bartender and didn't speak, only smiled, making the bartender's face flush with embarrassment. Bingliu, who was on the side, couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. The bartender was even more embarrassed, bowed again, and left resignedly.
After a while, Chang looked at the water pendulum clock on the wall of the bar. It's late at night, and if you don't leave, you'll be troubled by those old guys. So he laughed and said Bingliu: "Let's go, I'm happy to come out to play next time." Bingliu answered, and followed Chang out the door.
At this time, the bartender rushed to the two of them and asked very sincerely: "Thank you very much for your help today, in Xia Qing Lingpei, may I ask what are the honorable names of the two of them?"
Chang's lips were hooked with a beautiful arc, and the index finger of his right hand was on his lips, and he said softly, "Secret." ”
The bartender was stunned, but saw that the person in front of him seemed to melt into the long night and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A woman, looking out the window at the glass-separated street, drooped her almond eyes with brown eye shadow.
