Chapter 491: The Old Man Who Drinks
After a long journey, he finally saw the Apennine Castle, which was bigger than any pass he had ever seen before, not even the city of Orbis. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis castle is all built of huge stones, and the potholes on it show that this castle has experienced countless wars, and the city is not enough to describe the war fortress in front of it, perhaps only the legendary Tongwan City can compare with it. Chang'an, the largest city of the five empires, was originally built according to a military city, but it was also the economic and political center of the Tang Dynasty, and it added too many other things, and it was no longer a pure military city. And this Apennine castle was built purely for war, one main city, three auxiliary cities, the main city and the auxiliary city are connected by a drawbridge, no matter which place is attacked, the rest can be guaranteed to support in the shortest possible time.
Along the way, it seemed that the great battle had ended, the two sides had ceased to collect their troops, the city was busy transporting javelins and various equipment, the wounded were everywhere, the previous several tentative attacks had been completed, and now the real war had begun.
"It's finally time to catch up," Kandy breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived.
"The two sides have more than ten Rank 10 Abilities and Martial Saints, Kandy, do what they can" Han Tongwen didn't think that there was any kind of divine skill that could make a Great Martial Sect qualified to fight with a Martial Saint.
"Is this concerned about me?" said Kandy with a smile on his face.
"I've worked so hard to get you back, and you're going to die again, what I did before was not in vain"
"Don't worry, I know how much I can do. There are a lot of secrets in the main city, you can't enter until you consult with King Arthur's chief judge and Michael, why don't you go to the auxiliary city first and wait for my news, and then I will find someone to take you over" Although Kandy also wanted to bring him directly to the main city, even the Holy Son of the Holy See did not want to rashly violate the rules of the Apennine Castle.
Now is the war, even the auxiliary city is very strict, Han Tongwen knew at a glance that it was not from the Roman Empire, so naturally he would not let him enter the city, but fortunately, Kandy led the way for him. Before Kandy reached the main city, he was stopped by a group of soldiers.
"Who will be your defenders?" Kandy did not force his way into.
"Who are you, what are you doing here, now this is a forbidden area, you go back quickly," one shouted.
"How do I look like Galeva," Han Tongwen asked, looking at an armored general at the head of the city.
"Since Galeva returned to the Roman Empire, my father has sent him here, and when the war is over, he should be called back to join the Templar Order," Kandy laughed.
Galleri, who was standing on the tower and patrolling, also saw Kandy, and he actually saw his savior, rubbing his eyes.
"His Highness the Holy Land?"
Garrewei hurriedly walked down the city, and bowed with one arm on his chest, "I have seen His Highness the Holy Son"
"It's been a long time since I've become a general," Han Tongwen laughed.
"I didn't expect to see you here!!" said Garebun, excited.
"Now is not the time for small talk, Galeri, you can take him to the auxiliary city, and I will go to him after I have discussed it with the Holy See and the high-ranking officials of the Empire."
"Yes, Your Highness the Son"
There was Galleria not leading the way, and there was no one to stop him along the way, and it can be seen that Gallewei's status in the Apennine Castle was very high.
"It's a good mix now."
Garrib did not straighten his waist with a proud face, "I am now the second general of the Apennines, the commander of the heavy armor army"
"Haha, it's worth celebrating, wait for me to drink!"
Now drinking is Han Tongwen's main purpose, because the wine worms are not controlled, the wine brought back from Datang has been finished before it reaches the City of Seven Mountains, and he has been hungry for a long time along the way.
"Then you should be disappointed...."Galleria was a little embarrassed.
"What do you mean" Han Tongwen looked nervous, for fear that he would say that there was no wine here!
"This is the city of soldiers, and you are not allowed to bring alcohol in."
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Kandy bastard, he told me that the Apennines are rich in fine wine," Han Tongwen scolded with a broken mouth.
"Shhhhh
"Damn, don't let the wine scold"
"His Royal Highness the Son didn't lie to you, the wine near the Apennines is very famous throughout the Roman Empire, but unfortunately it is not allowed to be sent to the castle"
"I kind of understand, this trip was pitted by Kandy badly enough, why do you say that he is a future pope with so many routines"
Han Tongwen scolded and entered the auxiliary city, the auxiliary city is not as strict as the main city, there are often messengers from the Roman city, even the messengers cannot enter the main city of the Apennines The castle is received here, and there are some entertainment venues here, such as casinos....
"You don't even have the wine to go back, I'll go shopping by myself, it should be easy for you to find me."
Now it is during the war, and Galeva is also busy with military affairs, "It's okay, when this big war is over and it comes to the Roman Empire, I will definitely treat you to a drink"
After Galleria left, Han Tongwen wandered around in the auxiliary city, and it can be seen from here that the battle of the Roman Empire army was not weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the types of armies were not the same, including heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, light armor army, and javelin soldiers, these soldiers looked even stronger than the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Han Tongwen, who is not addicted to alcohol, is listless, there is no light in life, where to go, he suddenly saw an eccentric old man in a corner.
In addition to the young and strong soldiers in the Apennine auxiliary city, this old man is so dazzling, his hair is almost white, but his face is ruddy, and the most suspicious thing is....
Looking at the old man's movements, Han Tongwen felt a little crazy, "Damn, who can tell me what is in that bottle, why do you look at the old man's drinking posture so much like wine!!"
The old man sat under the city, lifted the jar in his hand and poured it into his mouth twice, and let out a long breath, and then looked satisfied and comfortable. Han Tongwen didn't care about any politeness and self-respect, so he actually squatted in front of the old man and smelled his wine.
"Old man... No, old gentleman, teacher.... What are you drinking!!" Han Tongwen's eyes lit up.
"It's nothing," the old man hid the jar in his arms, for fear of being snatched away.
Han Tongwen sat down beside Lao Tzu very familiarly, felt that the distance was a little far away and moved to his side, with a flattering face!
"Sir, you're a bar"
"Wine, how is it possible, I never drink"
Han Tongwen was a little speechless, when he met such a shameless old man, he was arrested and was still talking nonsense.
"I've seen it all, and I've heard it, you can't fool me, half of the meeting?"
"Think beautifully, and again, I never drink," the old man said and burped, which made Han Tongwen even more crazy.
"Everyone is a fellow practitioner, you don't necessarily want me to just watch it when you're too happy," Han Tongwen persuaded.
"It's mine"
"Divide me a little, not much, I drink very little"
It's a pity that no matter what Han Tongwen said, the old man kept shaking his head, and Han Tongwen was also a little anxious to stand up.
"Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know, what, are you going to bite me..."
The old man had a provocation in his eyes, this was unbearable, and the oil and salt did not enter.
"Tell you, I'm the Inspector of the Auxiliary City, and you know the rule that there can't be alcohol in the Apennine Castle."
"I know."
"So, I confiscated your wine"
Han Tongwen was about to get it as he spoke, and the old man suddenly laughed when he looked at Han Tongwen's hooligan appearance.
"You kid is a Tang person, my old friend told me that Tang people are very elegant, but the Tang people I come into contact with are the same as robbers."
When the old man said this, Han Tongwen was a little embarrassed: "Old man, you are addicted to alcohol, you should give some face, I know your Holy See's holy son, the future pope!"
"To" The old man threw the jar over, Han Tongwen took it, wiped his mouth first, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and sat down beside the old man steadily, not letting other feelings affect his wine tasting, and Han Tongwen's eyes lit up after a sip of wine.
"Well, this is one of the best wines in the Roman Empire," the old man asked expectantly.
"I'm not bragging to you, I'm a master of winemaking, I've tasted Daxia five-flower wine and five-poison wine, Datang Songfeng wine, and drunken fairy wine, but the wine of your Roman Empire is really a little different."
"What's the difference, say it and listen to it"
"The wine of the Tang Dynasty is very strong, and it is mixed with spicy and mellow aroma, but the wine of the Roman Empire is slightly sweet in addition to strong, and has a faint astringency, it should be brewed with some kind of fruit," Han Tongwen said and raised his neck and took two sips.
"Yes, yes, guess what fruit it is"
"The wine is gone... How can you guess this" Han Tongwen looked embarrassed.
"I still have it here" The old man seemed to take out another jar from his back, and Han Tongwen drank it heartily and made up for all the wine he hadn't drunk a few days ago.
"It's grapes," Han Tongwen said with a smile.
"You're the second person to be able to identify my wine," the old man laughed.
"What's so difficult about this, you're giving me a jar I can say in more detail" Han Tongwen sneered.
"You kid is such a thief, you can't drink it for nothing. Why don't you answer me a few questions, answer one question and I'll give you a jar of wine," the old man asked.
"Deal!"
Han Tongwen felt that he was making money for nothing, and he couldn't stop sneering in his heart, a question? That is, ten questions can be exchanged for a jar of wine to deceive all his wine, and he doesn't know this old man anyway.
"You won't lie to me, will you?"
Thinking carefully and being seen through Han Tongwen was a little embarrassed, "How is it possible, I am a righteous gentleman, a master of all ages, a good person!"
