The city lord Andre noticed Ike's anomaly and asked Lance with some embarrassment.

"Please don't mind, Lord Castle, my brother Ike, he doesn't talk much, usually when I'm outside, I'm in charge of communication, and he's in a daze. ”

"Oh, I see! Komodos, pour us some wine, we're getting a little thirsty after talking for a while, haha......"

"Yes, Lord Castle. ”

Komodos answered, went to the shelf next to the reception room, took down a bottle full of yellow-orange ale, poured three glasses, and brought it over.

This is the favorite kind of ale that the city lord Andre d'affaires drinks.

This kind of ale wine is made from high-quality barley, rice, and high-quality ale hops that are produced from the Tohoku region of the Southern Kingdom, and is made from sweet mountain spring water.

"Come, come, try my private collection, you can't drink such a good ale anywhere else. ”

Andre, the lord of the city, took the ale brought by Komodos and warmly invited the two of Lance to taste it.

After Lance took the wine glass, he took a look at the clear, transparent, pale yellow liquor in the glass, and around the wine, there were some white foams, which looked very delicate and refreshing.

Just by looking at it, this wine is definitely the best of ales.

Lance didn't drink it directly.

Instead, he put the ale to his nose and sniffed it, then closed his eyes and took a shallow sip.

"Lord of the City, the flavor of this wine is pure and harmonious, refreshing and clean, the hops are delicate after the entrance, and the uniform bursting feeling of the bubbles constantly stimulates the taste buds, and they will also leave a faint malt aroma between the mouths, which is indeed the best in the ale. ”

Lance couldn't help but admire.

Although he is not a drinker, he has been influenced by Candita since he was a child, and he also has a certain amount of research on the various ales that are abundant in the Southern Kingdom.

"Yo...... Little brother Lance, there is still such a study of ale?"

The city lord Andre was also attracted by Lance's words.

Indeed, after taking a small sip, Lance did name the characteristics of this ale.

"Hey...... Of course, good wine must be made with good products, otherwise it will be ruined. ”

Hearing Lance's words, Ike, who was about to take a big sip with his neck up, was embarrassed to drink.

He just followed Lance's example and took a small sip.

"Good wine indeed!"

Ike thought to himself, but it's too uncomfortable to drink like this!

"Haha...... Little Brother Lance is really exquisite, you are right, this kind of ale, if it is at room temperature, it is not suitable for drinking like other ordinary ale, since Little Brother Lance is a person who understands wine, then I will ask you to drink this kind of ale in the purest way. ”

The eyes of the city lord Andre showed appreciation for Lance.

As soon as he had finished speaking, he made a gesture to Komodos, who understood and walked out of the room.

After a while, Komodos walked in with a small wooden barrel wrapped in a towel.

City Lord Andrei waved his hand to Komodos, then picked up an iron clip hanging on the side of the small wooden barrel, put a few small ice cubes into the cups of several people, and said: "This is an ice cube made by an ice magician, and it will taste better when you put it in wine." ”

Then, he picked up his glass and gently shook the contents.

After a while, a faint white gas appeared around the cup, and the city lord Andre said to the two: "You can taste it now, but now it's better to drink it in one gulp, come, let's toast." ”

With that, he raised his glass and bumped it with Lance and Ike, and some of the clear and translucent wine spilled out, but it was even more heroic.

Under the momentum of Andre's heavy drinking, Lance and Ike glanced at each other, and they also drank it all with their necks up.

"Cool ......"

This is a feeling shared by Lance and Ike.

The cold liquor, the bursting bubbles, the aroma in the mouth, irritating the stomach.

"Lord of the Castle...... This...... It's so cool......"

Lance sighed heartily.

With this drinking episode, the relationship between several people has been pulled in a lot.

"Haha...... I call it iced ale, and most people can ask an immovable ice magician to make ice cubes for it, haha...... Come on, come on, have another drink. ”

"Cheers ......"

"Cheers ......"

After the three of them had several drinks in a row, the city lord Andre did not continue to persuade him to drink.

But......

It shouldn't be a persuasion to drink, it should be a little distressed to drink like this.

He didn't have much in stock.

"Komodos, you go down first, me and the little brothers, there is something to say. ”

After smashing his mouth, the city lord Andre said to the butler Komodos.

"Yes, sir. ”

The butler, Komodos, then turned and left the reception room.

After the steward Komodos left, the city lord Andre said to Lance and the others with a solemn face: "Little brother, I came to you today to tell you about high-level ghouls, I think Jonathan has already told you, right?"

"Yes, but Brother Jonathan didn't tell us what we needed to do, and we've been investigating in the city for the past two days, but there's been no progress. ”

Lance said honestly.

He has a lot of good feelings for this bold and easy-going city lord.

So he didn't plan to hide anything, maybe what he and Ike did, the city lord Andre already knew.

"Actually, today's banquet was held to catch high-level ghouls. ”

"Huh, to catch high-level ghouls?"

"Yes, during this time, I have been arranging for someone to investigate the matter of this high-level ghoul, but there has been no progress other than the discovery of those junior ghouls. ”

City Lord Andre said with a solemn face.

Now he is full of wisdom in his eyes, and at this time he is fat, and he actually gives people a feeling of shrewdness and ability.

couldn't help but have a new view of him.

"Lord Castle, do you mean that you have already discovered the ghouls we killed?"

Lance asked.

If it was as the city lord Andre said, it was likely that he and Ike had disrupted Andrei's plan.

"Yes, we haven't been targeting them just to find the high-ranking ghouls behind them, but ...... Hey...... When you came that day, you slaughtered them...... Haha......"

City Lord Andrei said without the slightest concern.

This made Lance and Ike feel a little ashamed in their hearts.

"I'm sorry, Lord Castle. ”

"It's okay, there has been no progress, but your arrival has given me new ideas. ”

"What's the idea?"

"I want you to be bait. ”

The lord of the city, Andre, was straightforward about his thoughts, and it seemed that he was not worried that Lance and Ike would refuse.

In fact, however, Lance and Ike did not refuse.

André then leaned closer to Lance and Ike's ears and whispered a few words in a voice that only the three of them could hear.
