Kong Ming sat on the steps in front of the dormitory, looking up at the snow that was still falling, it was still a few minutes before midnight, there was no one around Kong Ming, most of them went home or went to the homes of some classmates to celebrate the New Year, and some people were still intoxicated with studying magic or cultivating, only Kong Ming was so heartbroken that he drank sip of wine because he met his mother today but couldn't admit it, he knew that he must have thrown him because of a kind of speech that the wizard said that was not good for the family, but there must be some reason why they didn't kill themselves, this is unknown, and now suddenly appeared in front of them, He will definitely encounter the greatest resistance, but the most important thing is that Kong Ming thinks that he doesn't need to use his hot face to stick a cold ass, he has grown up, although the process is hard, but after all, he has grown up, and he already has not weak skills, to be able to protect himself, in his opinion that his hometown is no longer this imperial capital, but the small village of Kari, the small village where he lives a happy life, where there are old mages who raised him, there are skilled Kasia, old headhunters, and many companions waiting for him。 When Kong Ming was thinking, in addition to the white snowflakes in the sky, there were many more colorful flames, and the new year was coming.

Every Chinese New Year, people will set off fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the new year, and some magicians will release some magic that is not too lethal to celebrate the arrival of the new year. Kong Ming put the wine bottle aside, and directly and continuously chanted the magic of one fireball after another to release it into the sky and detonate it. This kind of first-level magic is easy for a magician like Kong Ming, and the magic is integrated into the surrounding world of magic and fireworks, until Kong Ming's body has no magic power at all, Kong Ming stopped this crazy behavior, and then pulled out the anger of the fire dragon, and directly began to frantically release the fighting energy into the air in the open space in front of the door, and it was like this until Kong Ming's fighting energy was exhausted, Kong Ming picked up the wine bottle on the ground and took another sip of wine, before going back to sleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Kong Ming quietly practiced at home for a day before he filled up the magic and fighting qi, and there were still some improvements.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the first qiē was also calm, and Kong Ming was still practicing at home.

On the third and fourth days of the Lunar New Year, there was no incident.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Kong Ming had just woken up from his meditation when he heard a reluctant knock at the door. Youlan's angry voice kept coming, Kong Ming knew about Huali's family, Youlan must have known, and although Kong Ming was not famous at all in Huayuan University, but Youlan still knew his address through various channels, and today it seems that he came to ask for the crime, but Kong Ming didn't hear a trace of anger from that angry voice, but it seemed to have a conspiracy. After thinking about it, Kong Ming took out a bottle of wine from the space ring, drank it vigorously, and then, sprayed all over his body from his mouth, and in an instant, Kong Ming changed from a clean person to a person who had just woken up from the wine vat, he wanted to make Youlan feel that he was a drunkard, otherwise, from his point of view of this noble lady, she obviously belonged to the kind of person who did not stop until the goal was reached, it seemed that she taught Kong Ming a very good lesson, otherwise, how could she swallow this breath. Now, thinking about what tricks she has waiting for her, it is better to let her think that she is a drunkard, so that she may be able to escape this, otherwise she will only give up if she takes advantage of it, otherwise Kong Ming may make her entanglement unable to get out. But Kong Ming obviously underestimated Youlan's wisdom a little, and when Kong Ming's anger and eyes were full of confusion appeared in front of Youlan's eyes, Youlan's words directly broke through Kong Ming's disguise.

"Your Excellency, don't pretend anymore, although you squirt yourself all over the smell of alcohol, but do you think you can get past this shoddy disguise? After Youlan saw Kongming, who was full of wine, her brows furrowed, her eyes narrowed, and then she put her hand on her nose, but after looking at it for a while, she smiled and said with a smile. Kong Ming was willing to be fooled, and said in a still drunk tone: "Little--miss, what's the matter--something?"

"Don't pretend, usually drunk people smell alcohol oozing from their bodies into their clothes, and then it will be mixed with the smell of their own sweat, and now-" She explained with a smile as she saw that Kumei was still pretending. At this time, Kong Ming also knew that things were going on, so he smiled indifferently and said, "Excuse me, Miss Youlan, is there anything wrong?"

"Hehe, I'm just here to take a look at a person who eats and drinks together, how about it, aren't you welcome?" Seeing that Kong Ming didn't apologize at all for his mixed eating behavior, he was angry in his heart, and then said: "Now that it's such a cold day, it's snowing outside, isn't it a little ...... for you to let a girl stand outside the house?"

"Come in!" Kong Ming continued, "I don't know if you have anything to come to me here, I have a lot of things to do today. ”

"What's the matter? I'm here today mainly to go with you to a gathering of nobles and powerful people organized by the emperor. Youlan said. Seeing Kong Ming's appearance, it was obvious that Youlan knew that Kong Ming didn't understand this kind of thing, and looked at Kong Ming's dormitory, which was very neatly cleaned up, and things were placed neatly, but except for a cabinet, a thick layer of dust had gathered on everything here, which had obviously not been cleaned for a long time, and even there was some choking smell in the air, especially the smell of wine. This all proves that the owner of this place is a lazy guy to die. For these, a nobleman like Youlan, a person who has lived in a particularly clean environment since childhood, is extremely unbearable, "I think we still go outside to talk." Youlan walked out as she spoke, she really couldn't stand Kongming's house, and seeing her angry, Kongming also walked out. The two stood on the snow in front of Kong Ming's house, watching the snow fall heavier and heavier in the sky, and Youlan began to explain to Kong Ming the party held by the emperor. It turned out that this was a tradition, and on the fifth day of the New Year, the emperor would hold such a party, which has not stopped since the founding of the empire, and the emperor would invite the nobles, officials, famous samurai, magicians, Businessmen, as well as people who are good at all aspects to gather, this party is very large, usually there will be a few hundred or so people, of course, at the same time, those people can also bring some of their juniors or people who want to bring in to the party, but those hundreds of people are in the palace, and those who come together are gathering in the square in front of the palace. And the focus of the gathering has also changed from the original fun with the people, to the current assembly of the prince and various nobles, and there are many nobles who use such gatherings to find their own half, of course, this search is always based on the family background, and this gathering has also achieved some fallen nobles or those who want to get ahead samurai, magicians, and some talents in all aspects. Kong Ming looked at Youlan and talked for a long time, and didn't understand what she wanted Kong Ming to do? Looking at Kong Ming's misty eyes, Youlan was completely speechless, sighed, and was about to speak, but heard Kong Ming speak first: "Don't talk nonsense, be straightforward, what do you want me to do? It shouldn't be an old trick like pretending to be your boyfriend." ”

"You want to be beautiful, I already have a boyfriend, so I won't ask a child like you to pretend, but there is one thing you need to do, so I will come here to find you. Youlan Qi Dao.

"What's the matter?" asked Ku Ming strangely.

"Drinking and fighting. ”

"Oh. Why did you invite me?"

"There is one of the best wines in the country, and not only one of them, you can drink them as you like, but the most important thing is that if you win the final victory, you will have a high reward, and you can even be appointed as an official directly by the emperor. ”

Kong Ming was not interested in the appointment of officials, after all, he knew that this kind of thing was not a realistic thing for him, but wine was a real thing. Although he has only drunk a little wine in the past few days, it is only because of that incident, but it is undeniable that wine is indeed a good thing, not to mention the best wine in the country, and he keeps drinking it, which is the most expected thing of an alcoholic.

"Stop, don't say it, not for anything else, just for the wine, I'll go with you this time, but in what capacity do I go in?"

"My squire, you are a guard who escorts me. Is that okay?"

"Hmm. ”

After finishing speaking, Kong Ming stopped talking nonsense, and sat directly on a small protruding platform behind the Youlan carriage, which was the position prepared for the guards. I saw Youlan take out a set of guard's clothes from the space ring and throw it to Kong Ming, "Before you go in, put him on, if you can complete this task this time, then the thirty gold coins will be forgotten." It's really strange, how can you not even afford thirty gold coins when you are a magician and have a fixed monthly allowance from the magic union?" Closing the door, the coachman immediately drove the carriage and rushed up, so that the unprepared Kong Ming almost fell, Kong Ming put the guard's clothes outside, and put the sword into the space ring. After thinking about it, he took out a small earthy yellow gourd from the ring, this gourd is no different from the ordinary gourd, but it looks slightly smaller, only the size of Kong Ming's fist, like a small point, but in fact it is the first space magic item that Kong Ming has refined in half a year, and it is also Kong Ming's greatest understanding of space magic and magic array in the past six monthsIn addition to a few magic arrays that can expand the space, there is also a magic array specially added by Kong Ming, so that the gourd has some contact with the outside world, similar to a pottery wine tank, there is a kind of wine that can improve the effect of wine, and Kong Ming also amplifies this effect sixty times, that is to say, if a vat of wine is buried in the ground for thirty years and it is very delicious, then this gourd of Kong Ming only needs to put the wine in it for half a year, in other words, that is, as long as the wine is put in this gourd, then the wine begins to improve, and as long as it is put in a few days, it can become very delicious。 At that time, when Phyllis Hall tested this achievement, he directly criticized Kong Ming for wasting time, wasting life, and wasting materials, and finally asked Kong Ming to give him this kind of thing, but Kong Ming had no choice but to refine a better gourd that could hold more and give it to Phyllis, because Phyllis is not a space magician and cannot make such a product. Now with this gourd in his hand, Kong Ming has a very good plan, that is, to go to the palace to fill more good wine, you must know that the wine in the palace is not comparable to a random bar outside.
