C88 Smells Good Wine
Lee Xiang smiled and looked at Arthur's face.
"Bishop Arthur should know very well about my experience. Eighteen years of experience tells me one thing. Many things are better to ask for help than to ask for help. Therefore, things like faith can only be appreciated by me. I can't be addicted! Of course, unless it can prove that what I did was worth it. Even if it was only once, I would still believe it without any reservation. However, under such circumstances, it's very difficult for me to make a decision!"
Arthur nodded. He was a smart person, and Lee Xiang's words were very clear. Unless the Church could help him, and he had to make it clear, he would not believe these empty words.
"Well, in a few days, our church will hold a grand prayer ceremony. This is to welcome the upcoming God's Grace Day, because this place belongs to a big church in the south of the empire. Thus, our Arch-Cardinal will personally preside over it. When the time comes, we hope that you will be honored. Perhaps you will have an unexpected surprise? And on the day of the God's Grace Day, there will be a heavyweight in the headquarters coming to help. . . Sir, you must not miss out on that day. . . " A meaningful smile flashed across Arthur's face.
Lee Xiang smiled and did not refuse. And he didn't say yes. To be honest, although he didn't have a good impression of the church's Fraud, this didn't mean that he completely rejected them. If it was something beneficial to him. . . He didn't mind going to the church to take a look. Furthermore, given his current complicated situation, there was no reason for him to refuse. Even though he knew that the Church was also using him, But who could guarantee that if he didn't seize the opportunity and use the church instead? Seeing that they were certain of him, it was obvious that they didn't take him seriously. Since that's the case, let them suffer a huge loss! Furthermore, he still remembered the last time he passed by the church. It didn't give him a very strange feeling. He had carefully thought about it a few times. He found that this feeling was exactly the same as when he first entered the depths of the forest, but there was a slight difference. As for where exactly there was an inconsistency, he still needed to carefully feel it. . . So strictly speaking, even if the church did not invite him, he would still find an opportunity to take a look.
At this moment, the waiter brought some food and wine. Lee Xiang picked up the wine pot. He filled the glasses of the few of them and then raised his own glass. He first looked at it carefully, then put it next to his nose. He sniffed it lightly, then drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the wine glass, he sighed slightly. "It is indeed a good wine. . . If I am not wrong, this should be made from pure food, right?" At the end of his words, Lee Xiang had already raised his head and looked at the man on the pavilion's face.
The man's expression changed slightly. "I did not expect that you are also an expert in wine tasting, but I cannot answer this question. Because I only know how to drink, but I don't know how to make wine. . . So you can only ask the boss here, but I believe she will be very happy to answer your question. After all, it's rare to meet a confidant!"
Lee Xiang nodded and turned to look at Arthur. "Bishop Arthur must have tried it a long time ago, but my beautiful sister does not seem to be interested in this kind of wine. . . " At the end of his sentence, Lee Xiang's eyes fell on Lena.
Lena had wanted to leave this place a long time ago, but because Arthur was on her side, she had been holding it in. At this moment, seeing Lee Xiang encourage her, she couldn't help but look at him fiercely and didn't say anything.
Arthur smiled. "That's right. I have tasted this kind of wine a few times. Although it is fragrant and pleasant, it is not suitable to drink more. It is not like red wine. . . Otherwise, this kind of wine would definitely appear at the royal ball! "
Lee Xiang laughed. Although Arthur was a fraud, This made him have a good impression of Arthur. The wine made from pure grain was much stronger than the wine made from red wine. It was easy to get drunk, but the aftereffects of the wine were. . . Naturally, normal noble parties were not just drinking wine. There would also be many social events in the future. So choosing red wine was a very normal thing.
"To be honest, I have always loved the wine in this cup. The wine brewed from pure grain is light and colorless. But it also has a pleasant fragrance and the fragrance of the rice is pure. The honey is elegant and has a long aftertaste. An empty glass with a lingering fragrance. . . Different from red wine, the red wine was as clear as ruby. Although the taste was clean and simple, it was still mellow and fragrant. And the texture was like silk, elegant and pure. It could move people's hearts at the beginning and the aftertaste would last for a long time. . . However, compared to this wine, it was obviously lacking a portion of heaviness and heroism, while the red wine had an extra portion of the fragrance of books. Un. . . So in my opinion, only this kind of wine is what a real man should taste. . . It is a pity that this kind of good wine cannot appear in the banquet of the nobles. It's truly a pity. " After saying that, Lee Xiang poured the wine cup in front of him once again. This time, he did not drink it all in one gulp, but slowly savored it. Obviously, he hadn't eaten enough just now. "Oh right, I haven't asked for your name yet. " After putting down the wine glass, Lee Xiang suddenly turned his head and looked at the man on top of the pavilion.
Arthur and the others also hurriedly turned their heads. Obviously, they were also interested in this. Intuition told them that this person should not be simple.
That person laughed and clapped his hands at the same time. He cheered loudly, "Wine of men?! In the past, the people who made wine here also introduced this kind of wine to me like this. I originally held back a little. After all, on this continent, many people respected red wine. I didn't expect Baron to have the same opinion as the person who made wine. Wonderful, truly wonderful! "
The man did not answer Lee Xiang's question. Instead, he changed the topic to wine.
"Oh?" Lee Xiang smiled with great interest. To be honest, what he said just now. . . It was not that he was speaking nonsense, but rather his experiences in drinking wine from his previous life and this life. He didn't expect that there would be someone who had the same opinion as him. He was interested in the person who made the wine. Instead, he didn't pay any attention to the person who didn't answer his question. Since the person didn't want to answer, he naturally couldn't force it. Moreover, he had just noticed the way this person addressed him. He must have known his identity a long time ago.
"If the wine maker in this winery knows that you have a confidant like you, I'm sure he'll be very happy!" The man smiled. "Of course, if Baron is willing, I can lure you guys. . . But unfortunately, she doesn't come out now!" The man shook his head with a bitter smile. It was obvious that he was extremely depressed.
Lee Xiang nodded. That was exactly what he thought. Just as he was about to answer, the owner from before hurriedly walked to their side. Lee Xiang noticed that he was still holding a delicate and small bottle in his hand.
"Master, we heard your speech just now. We specifically told you to give you this bottle of wine that has been stored for fifty years. I hope you like it!"
Lee Xiang was slightly stunned. After messing around for so long, this person was not the owner of this wine shop. The real owner was actually someone else. Obviously, this person had not prepared to come out to see him. Otherwise, he would not have arranged for this person to deliver this bottle of wine.
Lee Xiang reached out his hand to take the bottle of wine. He felt a very strange fragrance coming towards him. He closed his eyes and carefully felt it. Apart from the fragrance of the wine, It seemed to be the faint fragrance of a woman's body. It was precisely because the two types of fragrance were mixed together that this strange feeling could be felt. At the same time, he also noticed that Ao Bing, who was beside him, was also looking at the bottle of wine in his hand with a complicated expression. Even the man on top of the pavilion had a strange expression on his face. Obviously, this bottle of wine was not bad.
"Just the fragrance alone is enough to make people salivate. Just smelling the fragrance and recognizing the wine, I can't help it now. . . En, then please thank your shop owner for me! "
That person hurriedly bowed and left.
Arthur looked at the bottle in Lee Xiang's hand and said with a strange expression: "It seems that master has gained something today, but it is a pity. It is a pity that you did not see the person who sold the wine. "
Lee Xiang was slightly moved. He recalled the time when he entered this winery. Arthur had told him that the person who sold the wine here was also a scenery that he couldn't miss. However, he didn't see anything today. It was just a few workers running around. Could it be. . . When he thought of this, he was about to ask Arthur about it. Ao Bing, who had been sitting beside him, suddenly whispered, "Master, I don't know when the man just left. . . " Because they had an agreement with Ao Bing. When there were many people, they had to call him master to prevent others from making wild guesses. The two brothers did not object to this.
They were all shocked at the same time, and then they looked up at the attic. There was no trace of him after all. One should know that besides Lee Xiang and Lena, Ao Bing and Arthur had a very powerful background. He was the only one who knew how strong Arthur was, but Ao Bing was definitely not weak. He didn't expect that he didn't even know when Arthur left. This kind of strength really shocked them. Lee Xiang noticed Arthur furrowing his brows unconsciously. Clearly, he was also thinking about this problem.
At the same time, two people entered the room. One of them was Lee Xiang's guard, Bill. Lee Xiang was not unfamiliar with the person walking in front of him. He was the Chief Knight of Duke's Mansion, Kerry. Behind them were a few guards who looked like wolves and tigers.
The two did not pay attention to the shop owner's greeting. They pushed him aside and walked towards Lee Xiang with big strides.
They didn't expect that the chief commander of the Knights of Duke's Mansion would come here personally. Lee Xiang also noticed that there seemed to be a lot of guards from Duke's Mansion outside the restaurant. It was obvious that the problem was not good.
Immediately, many customers felt that the situation was not good. They all paid the bill and ran out.
