Chapter 794: Hell Fire Wine
"Let's start ignition!"
In the square of the manor's small building, Gervais sat in a soft chair and commanded a guard with a silver cup in his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When the guard heard the order, he stepped forward with a torch and set fire to the furnace beneath the still.
Most of the wine and potions were settled, and the rest of Gervais's energy was to settle the dwarves and blacksmiths.
The dwarven fire wine Thomas had bought it back the day before yesterday.
Although this fiery wine is very strong and can only be brewed by dwarves, it actually has a large audience in the Holy Alliance.
Many adventurers love such spirits, first of all, such spirits can give them a real feeling of drunkenness.
The other most important point is to save money, you need to drink five or six beers on a normal day to get drunk, but a glass of fiery wine can achieve the same effect.
For some adventurers who are strapped for money, being able to achieve the same goal is what they like.
Gervais asked Thomas to buy ten barrels, and a deal was soon made in a caravan.
A total of ten barrels of high-quality fiery wine cost 50 gold coins, which is converted into a pot of 5 gold coins.
At this time, Gervais wanted to purify the fiery liquor again through the still and increase the degree of the fiery liquor.
As the fire was lit, Gervais began to drink a limited amount of wine, and slowly waited.
"Your Majesty, there's hot gas coming out of the pipe here!"
After about seven or eight minutes, steam finally began to bubble out of the hollow tube connected to the still, and the guards in charge of checking it immediately reported to Gervais.
"Hmmm! Take a porcelain bowl first, and then send half a bowl over! Then pick it up with a barrel
Gervais nodded and gave a casual order.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guard immediately complied.
As the fire in the furnace became more and more intense, the steam coming out of the empty iron pipe gradually became more and more.
Most of the steam cooled quickly as it passed through the long iron pipe, and then re-condensed on the iron pipe and became a liquid, which gathered more and more, and finally all of it dripped into the porcelain bowl through the iron pipe.
After another three or four minutes, half a bowl of liquid had fallen from the iron pipe.
Seeing this, the guard quickly picked up the porcelain bowl, and then placed a wine barrel under the iron pipe, and then came to Gervais with the porcelain bowl.
"Your Majesty, half a bowl has already been served!"
"Hmm!"
Gervais took the porcelain bowl handed by the guard, first put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
"There's a hint of a past life!"
As soon as the porcelain bowl was close to the tip of his nose, Gervais immediately smelled a choking smell of wine.
Then he directly put the distilled fire wine into some of his own silver cups, put it to his lips and drank it.
"Huh!"
Because this world lacks a variety of industrialized snacks in the previous life, Gervais will drink his own wine every once in a while on weekdays, which can be regarded as a little bit of alcohol.
But when he took a sip of the distilled fiery wine, he immediately felt a burst of heat in his mouth.
After swallowing this fiery wine into his stomach, the hot burning sensation became even stronger, which couldn't help but make Gervais hiss and inhale after drinking from those men in his previous life.
"It's so spicy! This is at least a fight with Lao Bai in his previous life! ”
Gervais smashed and smashed, making comparisons in his heart.
At this time, the guard, who was still standing in front of Gervais waiting for orders, shook his throat.
Originally, this fiery wine had no fragrance, but once it was distilled, the aroma of fermented natural grains was immediately stimulated, and the guards present felt that this distilled wine must be something delicious.
"Come on, you can taste it too!"
Seeing the guard's small actions, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Distilled liquor smells really good, but it may not be possible to drink it.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates don't dare!"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then began to excuse himself, he did not dare to drink His Majesty's 'fine wine'.
"Give it to you, and you'll drink it! Take it! Stand over there and drink! ”
Gervais waved his hand at him and handed the porcelain bowl directly to the guard!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing Gervais speak again, the guard knew that Gervais was not joking, and was very curious about the 'fine wine', so he respectfully took the porcelain bowl and walked back to its place as Gervais had instructed.
And the other guards standing nearby also saw this scene, and they all looked at him with envy.
In the envious eyes of everyone, the guard proudly raised the porcelain bowl in his hand, and then poured the remaining half of the bowl of liquor into his mouth.
"Hmm......"
When the small half bowl of distilled spirits was entered, the guard, who was originally full of pride, immediately changed his face.
The cheeks that were originally rosy first turned pale, and then turned from pale to red!
"Goo-dong!"
Fortunately, Gervais was present at this time, and this guard was also a golden knight, his face changed for a moment, and after all, he swallowed the wine in his mouth with a bang.
"Haha! Alright, you go down and rinse your mouth first! ”
Swallowing the high liquor in his stomach did not relieve the burning sensation, and Gervais looked at his uncomfortable appearance and immediately waved his hand at the guard.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As if he had been granted amnesty, the guard immediately saluted respectfully, and casually clutched his throat and ran into the distance.
And the other guards all looked at each other when they saw this scene, this wine smelled very fragrant, huh?
The aroma is stronger than that of wine, and why is this companion so strange after drinking it?
……
After confirming that the strength of the distilled spirits had increased dramatically, Gervais waited with peace of mind.
Eventually, after half an hour of distillation, the ten barrels of fiery liquor turned into eight barrels of distilled liquor.
"It's time to give it a name!"
Looking at the eight barrels of liquor in front of him, Gervais was already very confident in conquering the dwarves.
Now it's all to come up with a domineering name and gather the dwarves to try it.
"Well, it's better to call it Hell Fire Wine! Even more terrifying than the fiery wine of the dwarven fiery wine! ”
Gervais thought about it for a moment, and then came up with a brilliant name.
The dwarven fire wine has a high reputation in the Holy Continent, and it is known for its strong wine.
And Gervais added the word hell in front of the fire wine, which can not only highlight that the hell fire wine is more terrifying than the dwarven fire wine, but also let those who know it imagine the characteristics of the hell fire wine for the first time.
"Your Majesty! I am back! ”
Just as Gervais had a name for the distilled spirit, Thomas returned on a warhorse.
"Oh! How's things going? ”
"Your Majesty, the villain has already gone to various shops in the city to advertise, and they know that there are still two hundred barrels of wine, and they all said that they will inform the purchase quantity tomorrow!"
"Good!"
A total of more than eight hundred barrels of wine were sold to various holy cities, and there were more than two hundred barrels of wine left, and these wines Gervais naturally would not take them back.
Rather, it is deliberately reserved for the average customer to buy, so as to maximize the popularity of the wine.
Otherwise, wine will always be the exclusive property of a few Holy City lords or a few high-class families.
Gervais had just sent Thomas to several taverns in the City of Hope to inform him of the sale of the wine.
When the owners of these taverns buy back, the wine can be sold as a treasure in the town.
Although the price of the sale must not be cheap, it is only after an ordinary person or adventurer has tasted the delicious taste of wine.
Gervais believes that the reputation of wine will spread at the bottom of the world.
It will become the biggest talk and glory for these adventurers and ordinary people.
"I had a glass of wine at the tavern yesterday!"
"Shhh Are you rich? ”
……
"I just made a fortune, let's go, I'll treat you to a drink!"
"Okay, since you're rich, invite us to wine!"
Gervais believed that as the supply of wine became higher and higher, such a conversation would inevitably arise among adventurers and ordinary people in the Sacred Continent in the future!
……
"Thomas, you're back just in time! I just have something I need you to do here! ”
Originally, Gervais planned to let someone else do it, but who told Thomas to come back so coincidentally, so he didn't pick someone again.
"Your Majesty, Thomas is honored to serve you! Please do not hesitate to ask! ”
Today, Thomas is a knight of titles and has unlimited energy.
And in his cognition, the more things he does for the master, the more he is valued by the master.
So instead of a look of pain, Thomas's face became more and more excited.
"Now you go to the dwarven quarters in the city to spread the word that we have one of the strongest liquor in the world!"
"Our wine is called Hell Fire Wine, and the Dwarf's Fire Wine can't be compared to it!"
"I'm going to issue a bounty now, and whoever can drink three pots of wine without using his fighting spirit will be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins!"
Gervais explained to Thomas.
"This ...... Your Majesty, isn't 10,000 gold coins a bit of a risk! ”
Thomas was shocked when he heard the reward of 10,000 gold coins.
When he was buying the spirited wine, the merchant thought he was running a tavern.
The merchant once said that the dwarves could drink a pot of such fiery wine in a day, so it was guaranteed that they would not lose money if they bought some of it.
Now that the master of his own house said that he would not pour three pots after drinking, it is likely that many dwarves would be able to do it, so wouldn't the ten thousand gold coins be wasted.
"It's okay, you just do what I say!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Gervais spoke, and Thomas didn't dare say anything more.
The wise master's thoughts must be beyond her comprehension, she just needs to do things according to her master's instructions.
At that moment, Thomas answered, then turned on his horse again, and headed out of the manor with more than a dozen guards.
……
Thomas was very efficient, and it took him half a day to spread the news to all the places where the dwarves gathered.
And the way he did it was for the ten guards to announce the news in their voices.
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately set off a huge wave in the City of Hope.
There are undoubtedly two blockbuster explosions in this news.
One of them is the world's strongest hell fire wine, which is even stronger than the dwarven fire wine.
After this news was announced, the dwarves reacted the most.
When Thomas and a dozen guards came out into the street, the dwarf in the blacksmith almost jumped to his feet to duel Thomas on the spot.
Luckily, it's the City of Hope, and Thomas is smart enough to say things about challenges and rewards.
This challenge and reward is the second bombshell.
Whether it was a passerby or a dwarf, they were all stunned when they heard the news, and it was a little difficult to imagine what 10,000 gold coins looked like in front of them.
The dwarf, who was still holding a hammer and wanted to fight Thomas, immediately changed his face and asked Thomas if the news was true or false.
You must know that even if he drinks five pots of fire wine, he will only be a little dizzy, and he will definitely not fall, and he doesn't believe in it at all.
He thought to himself that even if he drank ten pots, it would be easy, as long as he got these ten thousand gold coins, then he could go straight back to the Burning Hills, and then live a life of drunkenness and dreams every day.
And Thomas, of course, was conclusive, and also said that his king had a clear understanding of killing gods.
By the way, he asked the guards to repeat the news again, and then led the guards to the next location.
With the outer city and the inner city being turned around by Thomas, everyone in the city of hope knows about the hellfire wine
……
"Did you hear that? There was a contest held in the city, and I heard that if you can drink three pots of Hell Fire Wine, you can get 10,000 gold coins! ”
"Shhh 10,000 gold coins? Really? Could it be that you heard it wrong? There is only one gold coin! ”
"How can there be a fake, now the whole city is spreading! And do you know who is running this competition? ”
"Who is it?"
"Kill the gods!"
……
"Hmph, I don't care what kind of killing god he is, he dares to belittle our dwarven clan's fire wine like this, as the envoy of His Majesty the King stationed in the City of Hope, I must let him give us an explanation!"
"That's right! What hell fire wine, isn't this a provocation to our dwarves! ”
"We'll go drink that wine of his, and when we're done, we'll take the gold and fix him properly!"
"We also have to negotiate with the Holy Alliance Council and let them give us an explanation!"
……
The next morning, Gervais was still sleeping in the small building, but was woken up by a faint noise.
"Thomas, what's going on! How can it be so noisy? ”
It stands to reason that Winton's manor is so vast and in the inner city that it can't be so noisy, and then Gervais shouted to the door.
"Your Majesty, because of the competition, now the outside of the manor is already full of people, and the entire street has been blocked, stretching for several miles!"
When Thomas heard Gervais's voice, he immediately opened the bedroom door and cautiously walked in. 、
"So many people!"
Gervais was also stunned.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Now the whole city of hope knows about your drinking contest and the huge prizes! ”
"So even if a lot of people from outside the city have paid the entrance tax and come to the outside of the manor, they seem to want to participate in this drinking competition!"
Thomas carefully took the clothes from the hanger and handed them to Gervais, then explained.
