Coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Herman had an extra sword of lightning in his hand, and the Kelvinto people brought a letter to Hawkins, asking the other party to tell him that magic weapons could not fully repay him for saving his life, and if there was any trouble in the future, he could go to the Twelve Brigade to find him.

The Great Tournament does not prohibit the use of magic weapons, so having a good piece of equipment is undoubtedly winning at the starting line, if Herman is good at using a sword, this electric sword is enough to double the power of his fighting skills, but unfortunately Herman is a reckless man who can only use his fists, and the sword is a pearl in his hands.

The moonlight is like mercury, covering the entire dark city with a thin veil, and the cold moon is prosperous, and people with hearts are depressed.

Herman rarely put down his cultivation and went to the Giant Whale Trading House, where he asked the teller to introduce one of the kingdom's most famous spirits, and walked to the other end of the block.

When he first bought the house, Pilson and Morey bought it together, and the two had a very good relationship, often drinking and chatting on the rooftop. But today, when Herman came to visit with wine, only the lonely Pilson came down from the rooftop alone, and the smell of wine on his body could not be hidden, and his eyes were confused.

Herman knew of course that no amount of alcohol in the world could make the Knight of the Source drunk like this, unless he allowed the alcohol to anesthetize the brain, nerves, and body.

Opening the door, Pilsen's eyes fell on the liquor in Herman's hand, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Yo, tequila, you kid made it?" ”

Tequila is one of Tasylvania's most famous spirits and one of the most expensive on the market. It is extremely expensive, it is one of the few things that needs to be traded for gems, and there are different prices for the same wine.

According to the year, within ten years, it is generally around the 100D-grade energy stone, and the price of the ten-year to twenty-year one has directly increased tenfold, and it takes a 100C-grade energy stone to take it down, as for the twenty years onwards, it is basically not in circulation on the market, and each bottle is extremely precious, and it is the treasure of the major magnates.

Herman had this bottle in his hand, and the label on the bottle showed that it was produced at the Borlius Winery in the 984th year of the Ocean Calendar, just fifteen years old, and the two bottles cost him a full 300C grade gemstone. If it weren't for the teller saying that the wine was made from a special magic plant, it was so powerful that it could get even the knights drunk, and Herman was a little worried about Pilson's state, he would not have been willing to bleed.

I just hope to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows.

Herman smiled: "The two bottles of potions were sold a few days ago, and it just so happened that you and Moore paid off their debts, and finally made a small fortune." Hehe, go, go upstairs, I've never drunk such a good wine, I've fought for so long, and I enjoy it today. ”

Of course, Pilson knew that the teenager in front of him didn't like to drink, and he always tasted it at every dinner, unlike other drunkards. If he had come to drink, he would not have forgotten to call Morey and William.

Opening his mouth, he wanted to say that he didn't want to drink today, but Herman had already broken in with the wine and went straight to the rooftop. Shaking his head helplessly, Pilson could only follow.

The empty wine bottles on the rooftop were littered, and the situation of the neat rooftop being turned into a garbage dump made Herman wonder if this guy had come back from the city lord's mansion to drink until now.

"You guy, why don't you call us when you drink? Morey saw that he was going to break up with you. Herman threw him a bottle and complained casually.

He jumped on the wall, sat on the edge of the rooftop, and said, "Don't drink water this time, I'll buy two bottles." ”

Pilson was moved in his heart, but he said, "Stingy guy, you don't know if you don't drink enough, why don't you buy more!" After some distance, he jumped on the wall and sat down.

As far as the eye can see, only the rainbow circle of light can compete with the silver moon, and everything else is hazy and unreal, this scenery is extremely beautiful, so Herman narrowed his eyelids, not wanting to see too clearly.

Grab the spirits and open your mouth to bite off the cork.

In an instant, the strong and pungent aroma of wine rushed into his brain through his nasal cavity, which shocked his spirit, which made Herman, who originally wanted to take a big sip, can't help but slow down the curvature of the wine bottle on the side of his mouth, and only dare to take a small sip gently.

But even though it was only a small sip, the liquor entered his throat and immediately turned into a raging flame that ignited the entire throat and mouth, and in an instant, Herman's tears came out of his eyes, and he coughed incessantly.

"Ahem,, is it so spicy?"

Herman coughed as he wiped away his tears.

Pilson took a sip hard, but he didn't do anything except his face was red, and laughed when he saw this: "I can only say that you are too weak." Don't cough, hurry up and refine the energy inside. This thing dares to sell so expensive, because it is brewed with the root fruit of ambergris orchid, containing a life force, which can strengthen the body, although it is far inferior to the potion but has a very good nourishing effect for people who have not cultivated Douqi, and the effect is the greatest if you drink it for the first time. ”

When Herman heard this, he really felt an extra force in his body, although it was weak, but it was what the body's cells craved.

It's just that this little bit of energy is a drop in the bucket, Herman glanced at Pilsen, and said hurriedly: "Then you drink it slowly." ”

After speaking, he supported it with one hand, jumped back to the rooftop, picked up the green liquor and poured a few sips, letting the spicy spicy like fire flow down his mouth and throat all the way into his stomach, tears and snot on his face, and hurriedly practiced the move of the Dou Qi Containment Method, absorbing that energy into his body.

Pilsen didn't see the embarrassed appearance of the first master of the first squadron, his eyes were empty, and he silently poured spirits in the moonlight. Tequila was indeed one of the top spirits in the Norman Rhine continent, and half an hour later, the melancholy young man sitting on the rooftop had a red face, misty eyes, and a shaky body.

Finally, after Herman absorbed the medicinal power, he felt that his physical condition was better than ever, and the fatigue caused by working with Hawkins during the day was completely swept away, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "Sure enough, the effect is good, if there are no other potions on the battlefield, drinking this is also a good choice." And most of the knights are drunkards, and this thing must be a big hit. ”

Herman couldn't help but be moved to collect a batch of new vintage tequilas.

Glancing at Pilson, who was still sullen, Herman said, "The boss said that he would give us a vacation until we left." I'm going back to training, and I'll have a drink with you when I have time. After saying that, he left silently.

The crumbling body on the rooftop shook suddenly, and it froze for a moment before returning to a drunken state.

……

Hawkins said that he was going to give Herman special training, so naturally he would not simply give a few words. Although he didn't have to participate in patrol missions, he had to go to the City Lord's Mansion every day to accept the ravages of the Earth Knights, and in Hawkins's words, as long as he could take one step back, he could steadily move into a hundred, and two steps back to a steady fifty. The more beatings he received under his hands, the less he lost the face of the Ninth Brigade in the big competition.

Herman grinned and asked Hawkins how many places he could get if he was knocked back three steps, and Hawkins laughed and said that it must be outside the hundred. Herman was unconvinced and asked why, and Hawkins sneered and asked him if he looked down on him or the Earth Knight, who ranked 39th on the Morning Star list?

After the popular science of the old fritters in the squadron, Herman already has a general understanding of the Dawn List and the Morning Star List, the Morning Star List is the most golden, bringing together the strongest of the more than 2,600 people in the Knights, excluding the first and second teams, the number of earth knights in the whole regiment is around seventy to eighty, not only the military chiefs and senior officers of the major teams, but also the officers of the personal guard of the high-ranking members of the Knights, these people are all strong people who have experienced a hundred battles and come out of the sea of corpses and blood. And there are so many people, but only forty-nine people can be on the list, and the combat effectiveness of these people can be imagined. Even if Hawkins is only thirty-ninth, he definitely belongs to the strong in the first echelon.

Herman's all-out efforts to be able to repel him by one step are already precious, and two and three steps are simply a dream.

Hawkins, who felt despised after that, didn't spare his hand, and directly abused him with full combat power, and lay on the ground for half an hour before he could barely get up.

Fortunately, Hawkins also knows that hitting people is not a slap in the face, so Herman will not have to disguise himself to go to the Giant Whale Comptoir to buy alcohol in the afternoon.

Thinking that this thing worked well, he was not very short of money, so he simply spent 20,000 C-grade energy stones to order twenty cases of eighty-nine years of Motvela spirits in one go, and prepared to store it in the treasure house of the Knights, and then take it out and drink it when he celebrated it in the future.

"By the way, how old is the oldest tequila you can get right now?" Herman asked.

Knowing that he had met a local tyrant, the teller quickly retrieved the information in his mind and replied: "If you go back to the customer, the oldest age of the tequila sold by the Giant Whale Compirium is the Muirlius Winery produced in the 976th year of the Ocean Calendar, which is the best taste and potency for 23 years. The current price is 1,999 C-grade energy stones, do you want me to wrap them for you? ”

Herman nodded and said, "Hmm." By the way, tell your boss that if I can find something more than thirty years old before the end of December, I will buy it at any price. ”

The teller was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded with a red face: "I will definitely convey it for you." ”

He can follow Lord Faeron here from the Windmill Harbor, in addition to loyalty, the most important thing is a pair of vicious eyes, who is rich and who is not, what is the truth and what is the excuse He can tell the difference clearly by looking at it casually and listening to a sentence, this teller who was originally the manager of the Windshield certainly knows that this guest who casually took out a check for 20,000 yuan is not bragging.

The price of a tequila over 30 years old is never lower than the order that has just been filled, and as a salesperson with a performance bonus, the teller will naturally try his best to facilitate this transaction.

Herman asked the teller to find a pen and paper to write down the number of the treasure vault and the number of the brigade, squadron, squad and name, leaving the address of the Finance Office of the City Lord's Mansion, and asked him to send the batch there, and after confirming that the information was correct and the boundary was clear, he carried the bottle of twenty-three-year-old Mequila and walked towards the other end of the block.

"Why is it here again?"

Pilsen heard the sound of Herman hammering the door, and simply didn't go downstairs, but stuck his head out of the roof and asked.

Herman raised the exquisite packaging in his hand angrily, and said angrily: "There are good things, open the door quickly." ”

Pilson retracted his head and said lazily, "I'm not in the mood today, I'll talk about it next time." ”

Seeing this, Herman stopped and directly threw the bottle of tequila worth two thousand C-grade energy stones.

"Pick it up, it's a good thing for twenty-three years, don't break it."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a strong arm quickly stretched out on the rooftop to catch the falling gift box.

Fuck, you dare to throw this?

As soon as Pilsen stretched out his head to scold, he only saw Herman's departing back, his confused eyes darkened, he opened his mouth silently, and retracted into the corner.

Opening the exquisite gift box, the wine in the transparent bottle takes on a clear deep green color, like a piece of jadeite of excellent quality. Pulling off the cork, the rich aroma of wine came to his nose, Pilsen slowly pointed the bottle to his mouth, raised the bottle, and saw that the wine did not flow into his mouth, but slowly slid like a paste.

The green amber ointment entered his mouth, but the soft and beautiful taste of the ointment was so strong that even if Pilsen had already been mentally prepared, his eyes could not help but redden, and his mouth and throat seemed to be burned through.

What a strong wine!

Wine!

Pilson swallowed hard, as if lava had flowed into his stomach. Obviously uncomfortable, but then poured a mouthful, preferring to accept the burning fire rather than stop, and finished the whole bottle with a sob.

And the stamina of that wine was really bad, and Pilson fell asleep the first time he drank it. So much so that the next afternoon Herman was still in a hangover when he came after the beating, and if Herman hadn't been able to hear his breathing and heartbeat on the rooftop, he really thought this guy wouldn't have thought about running away.

When he climbed up to the rooftop and saw Pilson cowering in the corner of the wall and sleeping, with only an empty bottle at his feet, he couldn't help but smile wryly and complained: "You guy, or big brother, why do you have to worry about people." ”

After helping the man back to his room, Herman rushed back to the House of Light flower shop and asked Vera to make a bowl of porridge before bringing it to him again.

For more than a week, Pilsen remained in hiding and reluctant to see anyone, and Herman didn't say much, bringing him a bottle of good wine every day and throwing it on the rooftop before turning away.

Finally, one day, Pilsen couldn't hold it anymore and shouted at Herman's back, "Don't go, come up and talk." ”

"Oh." Herman turned around honestly.

"Grass, don't climb the wall."

"Then you come down and open the door."

"Hurry up! Here it comes! ”

……

In winter, it gets dark quickly, and at night there is only cold wind and heavy clouds, and there is no star or moon. It's about to frost.

A straight-standing teenager and a lazy hunched young man sat side by side on the edge of the rooftop with their hands behind their backs.

The young man suddenly asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

The young man didn't reply: "I don't know what to say." ”

What?

Don't know what to say?

The young man laughed angrily and said, "Then what are you doing for so many days?" Isn't that just trying to enlighten me? I also specifically told others not to disturb me. Now he doesn't speak again. ”

Morey and he were neighbors, and he really heard them say something on the top floor of the rooftop.

The boy shook his neck and said, "That's because I know you want to be alone." As for enlightenment or something, big brother, I'm only eighteen years old, and I can enlighten you about anything. In the words of our hometown, you have eaten more salt than I have ever eaten, and you enlightened me about the same. ”

"So you've been pouring me wine, hoping that I'll get drunk and get rid of my sorrows?" The young man laughed. This kid's brain circuit is simply bizarre.

"Alas!"

"That's pretty much it."

The boy sighed.

"I've only heard a little about you, and I know that you are so resistant to the big competition because of your many consecutive defeats, and I don't know any more. Actually, I was going to tell you about the ideal of the Great Dao, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's enough to drink some wine with you. ”

The young man was secretly sad, and when he heard the words behind him, he couldn't help but wonder: "Why?" ”

The boy smiled and said, "Of course, it's because I think of myself." Anyway, when I'm upset, I don't like people to beep in my ear, so it's best to have a quiet drink with me and see the scenery. Of course, it would be nice if you wanted to be my tree hole, but if you don't know how to comfort me, it's best not to speak. ”

"Tree hole?"

The young man patted his forehead and said with a smile: "A slang term in my hometown, referring to people or things that reveal my heart, I used to like to climb to the back mountain to watch the sunset when I was upset, and talk to myself in the air. Maybe because of my strict mouth, many friends treat me as a hole in the tree, tell some secrets, and of course, more negative emotions, which make me depressed for a long time...... Ahem, I mean, if you're upset, you can use me as a tree hole. ”

Herman almost said that he had been in the Knights all his life, where did he have so many depressed friends.

Fortunately, Pilsen's attention was not on Herman's past, and he laughed at himself: "Actually, it's not a secret, the fact that the genius that the Fourth Brigade has been boasting about but can't even break into the first round for three consecutive years has long been spread in the Danube region, and the people who should be lost have also been lost." I just don't want the teacher to be disappointed again, and of course, the strange eyes of others are really uncomfortable, otherwise I wouldn't have left the 4th team. ”

Danube is on the south bank of the Red River, it is another major grain production area and mine of the Wizarding Society, and the most important medium-sized energy stone vein of the Wizarding Society is in the Danube area, so the Knights sent the fourth, fifth, and sixth three teams with the best combat power to garrison them, which can be called a master. The fact that Pilsen was able to make a name for himself in that place speaks volumes.

What's more, his teacher is also the military commander of the Fourth Brigade, if he doesn't leave, he will be the prince of the Fourth Brigade there, and his life will be much more leisurely than here.

Herman was silent for a moment and asked, "Did your teacher express disappointment in you?" ”

Pilson shook his head and said, "No, but I know that he must be very uncomfortable in his heart, he has cultivated a disciple with high hopes for so many years, but he can't even pass the first round for three consecutive years, and no one will feel good in his heart." ”

Herman said: "It's just bad luck, the boss told me that the three opponents you met were all strong. ”

Pilson didn't feel the slightest relief in his heart because of such relief: "If you lose, you lose, if you win, you win, that's all the Knights say, isn't it!" ”

Herman shook his head and said, "This is not a mission. ”

After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Do you think that the criticism of others is more important than your teacher's feelings?" ”

Pilsen was about to say no, but his eyes were struggling and he couldn't speak.

It is absolutely a lie to say that he can completely ignore the criticism of others, he just can't stand this so he insists on breaking away from the protection of the teacher's wing, and comes to the Ninth Brigade, which rarely knows his past. For the teacher, Pilson only has a debt and guilt in his heart.

He also wanted to show off in the year-end competition and get a good ranking for the teacher, but things were always unsatisfactory, so that he doubted his own strength - is he really worthy of the title of the first master of the fourth team?

Shock Martyr is also the number one master of the Fifth Brigade, but he broke his strongest sword and shield with one shot.

How is he different from others when he is the first?

Herman didn't look at Pilsen's expression, he knew that the other man's heart must be more complicated than his face. A look of nostalgia appeared on his face, and this kind of scene reminded him of that very distant time, and said in a relaxed tone: "Tell a story." ”

Pilson smiled, "Don't feed the chicken soup." ”

Herman glanced at him angrily and said, "If you can't drink enough in those days?" ”
