Witcher's Atelier

Chapter 260: Lafite at the Wine Festival

The ceremony started with a cute weasel and an enlightened lady with blond hair and blue eyes. Anna. Dame Henrietta, dressed in a decent dress, stood on the auditorium to accept the cheers of the crowd, her crown shining brightly in the sun.

It should be noted that no matter which generation, beauty is a kind of hard currency. Although there was no enthusiastic cheers like the crowd, Victor also smiled and applauded, even though the young man who naturally lacked awe of the royal power, his thoughts wandered to the disrespectful place.

The curvature of the cheeks is perfectly converged, the eyebrows are beautifully shaped, the eyes are full of energy, and the most important thing is the sexy tear mole, as well as the attributes of a giant * widow. Dandelion is really a blessed person.

An expert like Foltest who knew how to appreciate married women would definitely appreciate her beauty when meeting Grand Duke Henrietta, and sincerely invite her to have in-depth exchanges with her.

Suddenly, while thinking wildly, he said, "Ah! It's her!" The witcher made a surprised voice, attracting the attention of "Bucket II" Horace next to him, "What's wrong? Do you see someone you know?"

Victor covered his mouth with his hands, "No, it's nothing. I just remembered that I saw a woman who looked very similar to the Duchess at the Petrified Cockatrice Hotel!"

After hearing what he said, the deputy captain of the guard shrugged his shoulders, "Really? That's really interesting. The enlightened lady's dress is the pioneer of the principality's fashion, and there are countless women who imitate her! Of course, it's not necessarily true, as you can see That's me! She is not a ruler sitting in a palace, but a brave lady full of action.

If you ask me what I think of a woman, I will tell you that the most distinctive part of her character should be courage, not liberality.

Having said that, if she looks like the Duchess, she must be a very beautiful lady. "

"She is indeed a super beautiful lady," Victor thought with a serious expression, without even a trace of a smile. "At this time, has the woman similar to Anayetta started to move? Indeed, this is more reasonable, after all. It’s a conspiracy to seize the country. It’s normal to start preparations a few years ago..."

It didn't take long for his expression to thaw as he thought about it. It was boring to think about these unsolvable things at the cheerful festival. Before that woman turned on her old lover, a high-level vampire whose name she had forgotten, no matter how much damage she caused, it would be impossible. They were very limited, and besides, I didn’t know if I was still in Toussaint at that time? Leave it to the White Wolf. Let Geralt and his invincible Sword of Destiny solve the problem.

There is a reason why Victor would seriously consider it. The more he understands the world and the ranking of his own combat power, the more he learns to respect certain individuals who are unmatched in strength and will not think about provoking easily.

Demon hunters still have a long way to go before becoming invincible. Although both worlds have void properties, the types are completely different. Many of the great void properties he has seen since childhood in the alchemy world have yet to be found here.

For example, when my grandmother was eighteen years old, the stirring stick that won her the championship in the mochi-making competition had "golden trident", "wandering beards in other worlds", "throne of elements", etc. The names were very confusing and beating. The special effects of the Six Paths of Gods and Demons.

Thinking back to her former glory, she wielded Xia Ji's Eight Strikes, which was so powerful and powerful that she could not stop her. "This strike will turn you into ashes!"

Even the broom in the corner of the alchemy workshop, although it looks inconspicuous, is a legendary bomb called "Heaven Cleaning"!

If he had these things in his hands, he would dare to roar at the kings and gods and demons, but it's a pity that he doesn't. Therefore, he is willing to keep a distance from outsiders like "Mirror Master" or "advanced vampires" for safety.

He admitted that he was afraid of death in his heart. The reality is that the game cannot be loaded. Compared with a failed dialogue choice and an enemy that cannot be fought, life may come to an end, and even death will not lead to peace. Isn't it good to live?

The alchemist considered whether the difference in world view led to the lack of void properties. However, after killing Goat and obtaining the "Titan's Grip" from its hand, which reduced the weight of the weapon, it was proved that the powerful void properties still existed, but A powerful monster is bound, so you have to go step by step.

Just when Victor was thinking about strange things, the wine festival began. Sebastian, the palace steward, first paid tribute to the enlightened lady as usual and tapped the barrel with a grape cane. Then the attendants used hammers to install switches on the oak barrels, filled them with rows of small cups that had lost their flavor as soon as they were tasted, and displayed them in front of each barrel for everyone to queue up to take.

The concept of the overall process is actually quite similar to the competition method of some talent shows. The admission fee is fifty florins, and each person is given fifty wood chip tokens. Everyone here is a representative with voting rights. They are also allowed to promote canvassing on the spot.

Each wine is limited to one tasting. There is a money bucket next to the wine barrel. After drinking, if you think it tastes good, you can throw two or up to three wood chips as a reward. If you don't like it, you must throw a wood chip into the bucket as a drink.

Although the wood chips can be exchanged back for florins after the wine tasting, the people who come here to drink are all citizen representatives who are not short of money. Who are you looking down on for refunding money? So they almost all use up the wood chips.

Therefore, if you participate in the competition, you will basically make a sure profit without losing any money, and you may even reach the top in one step. Almost all the estates in the park will be affected by the wine, and there are more than 30 flavors in the dazzling array, creating fierce competition!

In the end, the one with the most wood chips in the bucket will be the winner of the wine festival, and will receive a generous commendation from the Grand Duke of Toussaint. The title of knighthood is only the most basic, and there will be other tangible and intangible rewards.

The court sommelier Benaud, as the first person to taste wine in the Principality, uses a special silver token, one is equal to thirty wood chips, which means that he can worth up to ninety wood chips for each wine, representing thirty. people's opinions.

Anayeta and Fringilla, who was not here today, used special golden tokens, one equal to fifty florins. And the red wine that they fully supported not only received one hundred and fifty florins on the surface, but also became an obvious weather vane, attracting many people to try what they like.

That is to say, "What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom!"

Horace smiled with his gums and dimples showing, "...ah, finally...a wonderful moment! Where should we start first? Do you need to go to the table to eat something to fill your stomach first?"

Seeing Victor shaking his head, he continued, "Then I suggest... starting from Fort Ravello. Even in the Principality of Toussaint, which is full of beautiful scenery, the scenery of Fort Ravello is one of the best. The grapes here gave birth to 'Ivoro'. Ruth', 'Fiorano Rosé', 'Pomino' and 'East of the East' are some of the great tasting wines.

And if you like white wine, I highly recommend wines from two competing vineyards, Coronata and Vermentino. As for the 'Beauclair White Wine' which is said to be very popular in the north, it comes from the Torresela Castle Vineyard. "

The witcher chuckled lightly, "Drink something else first. The one from Ravello Castle is not fresh. I am too familiar with their flavor!"

Ever since he came to the world of witch hunting, he has insisted on living a life with no shortage of money and drinking the best. Several red wines produced by Castle Ravello can be said to be frequent guests on Victor's dining table. In order to make the classic "Lafite" suitable for Toussaint people's taste, I have been drinking a lot of it recently as a reference.

Then he rubbed his chin, "I don't need the Coronata and Vermentino white wines. I helped them solve some minor problems earlier and gave me several barrels of each. It tastes of fresh citrus and has clear and distinct acidity. If you are interested, please wait. We’ll serve some chicken to go with it.”

Horace clicked his tongue, "What you said is really expert... I can't tell you are from the north at all... If you think the wine produced in the Sansreto Valley is too monotonous, I recommend the less well-known but equally delicious wine. A brand produced in the Brecher Valley.

Let’s try the ‘Brecher’s Bank’ produced in the Pomerol Vineyard first. I remember the period from 1260 to 1263. The flavor in those years was particularly mellow and rich. I don’t know what it is like now. Or if you don't like sweet taste, the nearby Zurbaran Castle offers a less sweet version of 'Nufburg'. Nuragus and Sancerre in the north of Toussaint produce and export the famous Toussaint red wine. Castellachia is also bringing some fine rosé this year. "

After blowing the whistle, the witcher chuckled and complained, "Wow! Look at how you look like a treasure. You are worthy of being the son of the president of the Cooper Guild. You are the real expert!"

Looking sideways at Victor, Horace spread his hands and said, "The vice...is the vice president, don't deliberately miss a word to make fun of me. It's not shameful to have power, there must be someone in charge, as long as you don't abuse it deliberately!"

They walked side by side to the wine barrel on the shore of Brecher. The "Second Generation Barrel" picked up the tasting cup and tasted it. He smacked his lips and felt the tannins exploding in his mouth. "Speaking of it, you seem to be very confident. Aren't you worried at all?" 'Lafite' situation?"

Swirling the wine glass slightly, the fragrance of the wine escaped, reminding the witcher of memories, "Well... I drank this wine before, and it was bought by a dangerous woman. As for whether 'Lafite' can be accepted and loved, a Bell Town proverb says, 'The fragrance of wine is only afraid of the deep alley'!

Looking at the queue over there, I must thank Count Crespe for his help. Although he promoted it for me with malicious intentions, the final result still has to come back to quality.

'La Huijie seems to have never experienced the new taste of the ship. I need to experience a small cup. It will make me like it. Love is like red wine! ’”

"'The fragrance of wine is only afraid of deep alleys.' This sentence is really interesting. Although I don’t know what you said at the end? But I feel your absolute confidence, and even I am curious. I don’t mind if I leave temporarily to queue up. Try it?"

"The Belltown dialect means what you are about to cook. Lafite is definitely a new taste that you have never tasted before. Just experience a small glass and you will fall in love with this red wine just like me!"

Smiling and raising his glass, Victor drank it all in one gulp.

Horace laughed, drank his glass, and left for the time being.

Victor's confidence is of course not just the quality of "Lafite". If you think carefully, you will find that there are loopholes in the selection mechanism of the Principality. There are few absolutely fair competitions in the world. Corleone is determined to win the title. Of course you have some means.

For example, at the beginning of the wine tasting party, Temeria's golden eagle, or Temeria's Angouleme, pulled Vivienne, who is recognized as the most beautiful among the palace ladies. Miss Tablis came to line up in front of the "Lafite" wine barrel that attracted everyone's attention.

As mentioned before, no matter in which generation, beauty is hard currency. Miss Vivienne’s first choice is Lafite. Naturally, many people are willing to try the beauty’s choice, including of course the “golden retriever love fool”.

Standing behind them to protect the flowers, brave Guillaume. Lawnfar, on this occasion fully demonstrated his chivalrous demeanor. And after Vivienne dropped three wood chips, she followed up by dropping three wood chips without hesitation.

Victor knows that psychology can affect physiology, and good psychological expectations are an essential factor to appreciate the beauty of wine. Otherwise, even if it is a good thing, it may be mistaken for a strange taste based on wrong judgment, so it has its own purpose in guiding public opinion. necessary.

And since there is the beautiful Vivienne. Ms. Tabris was the first to eat crabs and spoke highly of it. Then many wandering people who originally had a wait-and-see attitude were able to make up their minds and queue up to try the drinks, creating a good atmosphere.

Soon there were two long queues in front of the traditional Ravello Castle and the emerging Corleone Manor. From the expressions on the faces of the drinkers after drinking, it was clear that they were very satisfied.

But the difference is that people who have drank Dong Zhidong or Fiorano Rose will continue to try other red wines because their quality is well known, and their production is clear and easy to buy.

However, many people who have drank Lafite have begun to look for the owner of the Corleone Manor, hoping to confirm the production of red wine with him and reserve a few barrels first.

They are red wine merchants. When they drink good new red wine, their instinct is to buy a few barrels for investment first. Victor. Corleone's name suddenly began to spread by word of mouth in the venue.

Tasting another glass of red wine, Vivienne frowned and said, "It's incredible. After drinking Lafite, the taste of other red wines will remind me of her. It's such an unforgettable taste. Lafite is a girl. Is the name correct? Is it Victor’s first love?”

"Definitely not! Don't have strange imaginations about him. This name is probably based on the strange sense of humor in Bell Town! But if you ask him like that, there is a high chance that he will tell you about the previous paragraph between him and Lafite A touching and heartwarming story of pure first love that must be told!

Believe me, I have been deceived by him too many times. He would tell nonsense seriously, as if it were true, only to find out afterwards that he was lying! "Angouleme licked the wine stains from his lips and betrayed Victor neatly. Vivienne was still young and could not be abducted by the evil-hearted witcher.

Hearing what her best friend said was interesting, the palace lady giggled and fluttered her beautiful eyelashes, "I don't believe you. Do you like him and are you afraid that I will compete with you?"

Angoulin suppressed the sudden feeling of vomiting in his chest, "Lebioda's Takamaru! I swear it's impossible to be with him. We are partners and brothers and sisters, but it definitely doesn't mean that. He and I both know it. ”

Seeing that Victor had just finished the conversation with the businessman, Vivienne smiled and raised her glass, "Okay, remember the reward for asking me to help. It's a bucket full of Lafite. You can't break your promise!"

"The Corleone family must pay its debts!" ​​Angoulême responded with a toast.

After finishing her drink, Miss Tablis lifted up her skirt and walked towards Mr. Corleone.

Watching her leave, Angouleme shrugged his shoulders and decided to go find Ms. Anayetta and blow some air in her ear. According to Victor, the sooner the Baroness tastes it, the better the evaluation of "Lafite" will be in the end. high.

Arriving in front of the owner of the manor, Vivienne raised her skirt and saluted, "Good afternoon, Mr. Corleone, congratulations! Lafite is very delicious. I like it very much after tasting it. I believe that after the festival is over, it is time to call you Mr. Corleone." !”

He stroked his chest and returned the favor to the palace ladies, "Oh no! Please don't call me Lord Corleone, just call me by my name. Facing a beautiful girl with good intentions, I will always be just a small Victor."

Vivienne was immediately amused and laughed so hard, "Haha, you are so funny! Okay, Victor, you can also call me Vivienne. I came here to ask you what Lafite's name was. An allusion? Is it the name of your first love?"

Staring at the girl's pure eyes, a few seconds passed. Victor turned to Yuan Fang melancholy, "...I didn't expect that someone would notice it. Vivienne, you are really my soulmate. The story of Lafite and I starts from the two of us." We started talking about it when we met..."
