Chapter 52: Red and Symphony
Kellius watched the crowd leave, picked up his plate again, and wiped out what little food Zuihou had left. Watching the successful people gathered here talk happily, but he himself couldn't fit in, and his low communication skills obviously made him very uncomfortable with the environment and communication style here.
"Forget it, the Count looks like he's trying to woo me, although he doesn't know that Weishenme wants to woo me, but it doesn't matter, when the banquet is over, go back and ask Mr. Julian." Now the question is how to kill the boring time. Kylelius thought silently.
Then he picked up a glass of blood-like dry red from the hand of a waiter who was walking back and forth in the hall, smelled the rich aroma of the dry red, and then gently took a sip, the wonderful silky touch stimulated the tip of the tongue and reverberated in the mouth.
This is a top-quality dry red made from grapes from the 'Portisgen' hills, which have been made through multiple processes.
Portisgen is located in a federal state in the west-central part of the Republic of Phoenix, and the wine region we are talking about is a large hilly area within this federal state where the inhabitants have been growing grapes and making dry reds for at least 1,000 years with the goal of producing the best dry reds on the continent.
The hilly region of Portisgen, with an average altitude of 550 meters, is surrounded by a large number of lakes and rivers, the temperature is moderate and maintained at a certain temperature all year round, the geology is good, and it is very suitable for growing grapes, where the sun is very abundant, the summer and autumn are dry, and the winter and spring are rainy, which is a very suitable place for growing grapes.
It's a good wine, but it's too small. Kylelius reminisced about the wonderful taste, looked at the bright red liquid in the crystal cup, and sighed faintly.
If Earl Stellus had known what Kellius was thinking at this time, he might have been so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage and died of anger.
This top-quality dry red is made using a special secret process, while the best quality grapes are selected and then vinified. These processes are only in the hands of a few companies, and the production of top grapes is limited in a few places, and the distribution is fixed, and only a few top winemakers can meet these conditions.
In order to obtain greater profits, the number of top dry red sold to the outside world each year is limited, and the share is just that, and the share will be further reduced in the year when the harvest is not good. When the supply is less than the demand, the price of goods will rise in a functional curve, which is a simple truth that all professional businessmen and financiers know.
Of course, in order to protect the interests and status of enterprises and individuals, every year the top professional organizations, various royal families and nobles, churches, high-ranking government officials and top professionals of the Phoenix Republic receive some of the shares provided by these companies to maintain relations or let them help.
Kylelius gently raised the goblet in his hand, and through the bright red transparent liquid, he looked at the small elegant music team playing music on the small stage on the left side of the center of the banquet, and quietly listened to the gorgeous music.
This is a symphony group composed of more than a dozen people, including strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion, violin, cello, French horn, trombone, cornet, clarinet, and oboe.
They looked quite professional, and they were well-known here in Banky, and Kylelius had seen several groups of guests come up to talk to them.
As the owner of the highest title of Banji, he held a banquet with the most professional and famous team.
Just holding the goblet in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, immersed in the beautiful and soothing elegant music.
About half an hour later, ten o'clock sharp.
The mini-orchestra, which was playing music on the center stage at this time, had stopped playing at this time. The guests also stopped talking and turned their attention to a balcony on the second floor.
It is a semicircular balcony located in the middle of the second floor, about 3 meters more protruding than the rest of the building, and about 3 meters in radius. It looks like a luxury box on the second floor of an opera house, but it's more spacious and not so enclosed.
This is a place where banquet organizers and other dignitaries can give speeches to guests.
At this time, there were already a few people standing there.
Standing at the front of the stage on the second floor, close to the railing around it, was the host of the banquet, His Excellency Earl Dag Stell. At this time, he was holding a civilized staff in one hand and the armrest in front of him with the other, looking down at the group of three or five downstairs, and it seemed that there were at least hundreds of banquet guests.
Obviously, His Excellency the Count is about to begin the opening speech, which is also the basic etiquette and title of the banquet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dag Stell, and thanks to your appreciation, I was able to take time out of my busy schedule to attend this banquet held at our house. ”
Sure enough, His Excellency the Count spoke.
However, the sound that could continue to reverberate in the empty hall and make everyone present hear it very clearly, without appearing harsh and uncomfortable, did not look like it could be produced by the body of a fifty-year-old intermediate professional of His Excellency the Earl.
You must know that for non-legal professionals who almost rely on physical ability as their main combat strength, they will enter a period of decline in strength after the age of forty. It is extremely difficult for most non-legal professionals to maintain their physical condition after the age of 40 and not to decline their physical fitness.
If you want to maintain your physical fitness, or even improve your physical fitness, you need to use many potions-based magicians to refine potions to improve your physical fitness.
One of the most famous is a potion called "Golbamo Elixir", which is a potion that requires magicians of the Seven Rings Potions faction to use special magic methods and spells to improve the physical abilities of the user.
The expensive materials to be crafted and the complicated way to make it, as well as the effects that make all melee professionals crazy about it, are the best features of this potion.
Moreover, the requirements of this kind of potion are very high, without the potion master above the seven rings and the precious magic medicinal materials collected by the full plane, it cannot be refined, and even if it is refined, it will not have the expected effect.
With the strength and status of the Earl of Steyr's family, they can't get the service of potions magicians above the seven rings, and the materials that need to be boiled for the 'Golbamo Elixir' are not things that can be obtained by the Earl's family's financial resources. With the status of the earl's family, it is impossible to get a reward from the great nobles or the royal family.
They don't have enough of themselves, how can they give a mere ninth-level knight, even if this knight is an earl.
Therefore, to sum up, His Excellency the Count is not capable and qualified to use this precious potion.
Of course, if there is a god's divine blessing or a high-level professional above the fifteenth level, it can also avoid the decline of physical fitness, and even improve faster than the bronze breaking melee professional, as for weishenme, we will talk about it later.
It is clear that this Lord Count is not one of those kind either.
