Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Gargas Islands, Nas.

When the stern-looking Gehrman Sparrow walked into the grocery store of "Crazy Whale Dance", the skylark, which is not very common in the local area, was squatting on top of his silk top hat, which made the cold temperament on his body dilute. few.

Esther followed behind Klein, looking around the messy shelves in the grocery store, curiously observing the several whale oil candles on display.

Klein knocked on the counter and communicated with the gray-haired boss behind him in Feysac. This is the contact point of "Admiral of the Stars" in Nass.

After Esther heard that Klein refused the boss's recommendation of spirits, the boss complained: "What kind of man is he if he doesn't drink Nebos? Are there only women left in Ruen?"

Esther poked her head behind Klein and looked over: "I—"

"Don't think about it." Klein's eyes suddenly sharpened, and Esther immediately retracted her head, pretending to focus on a few pairs of whale leather gloves.

The boss laughed twice before asking, "Who introduced you?"

"Ms. Gertmuse."

The boss stood up from behind the counter. His height gave Esther a sense of oppression when he saw a large bookcase growing feet. When the boss looked over, Esther quickly waved his hand:
"Just take him there. I'm just strolling around. I'll wait for you here."

Klein looked at Esther again with a warning look, and the meaning inside was obvious: don't touch things, let alone the half bottle of wine left on the table!

Esther smiled twice, and stood obediently by the door of the grocery store.She is not interested in touching other people's wine bottles, if it is unopened, maybe she will just steal some wine out and taste it.

She doesn't have any particular hobbies, she's just curious about the boss's description, and wants to have a taste.

It didn't take long for the boss to transfer out, leaving Klein inside alone, and Esther knew that he was discussing with "Admiral of the Stars" to go to the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea.

Seeing the lady obediently staying by the door, the boss couldn't help but smirked. He grabbed the wine bottle on the table and took a sip, then pulled out another bottle from behind the counter, which was unopened: "Anyway, no one is in charge of you now, come on?"

Esther twitched the corner of her mouth: "Thank you for your kindness, but—"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the boss laughing: "Hahaha, there is nothing to be afraid of! Women in Feysac drink the same way!"

"Then I'll buy it from you, it's not worth it for nothing..."

"Just drink it! This thing is not so precious, as long as you dare to drink it, this bottle is yours! Take it away!"

The boss pulled out the cork from the mouth of the bottle with his bare hands, and the brown-green mouth of the bottle immediately exuded a strong smell of wine. He shook the bottle at Esther.

Esther glanced in the direction of the room. Klein hasn't come out yet, so it's okay to take a sip of wine for nothing at such a good opportunity...

So she went to the counter to take the bottle, imitating the boss's previous posture, and swallowed two mouthfuls directly at the mouth of the bottle.

It should be said that it is the most popular alcohol in the Feysac Empire. The high alcohol content brings the most direct feeling of being strong.

Esther felt as if she had swallowed a mouthful of fire, burning from the tip of her tongue to her throat, making her a little choked.

Her eyes were suddenly red, and she subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.

But when Esther opened her eyes again, except for a slight flush on her cheeks, there was not much abnormality. She let out a sigh of relief and smiled happily: "It's really quite an impactful smell."

It even makes people feel a little nostalgic. I seem to have heard about a similar taste somewhere?Vodka?Esther clenched the wine bottle and thought so, but the moment the thought surfaced, she was suppressed by an inexplicable force.

"Good! Good!" The boss was surprised by the boldness of the lady in front of him, and smiled very happily. He gave Esther a thumbs up, "I really didn't realize that you are so capable!"

Esther raised her little finger. She resisted the urge to steal the other party's ideas, and just smiled awkwardly: "Haha, it's just that I don't know how to get drunk, so I don't have much strength."

"What's not so drunk?"

"It's just drinking!" Esther took another sip, and then realized that the voice of the question just now was not right.

When Klein came out from the back door, he saw such a scene, and his eyes of condemnation immediately fell on the wine bottle in Esther's hand.

Esther's eyes immediately wandered, and all the guilt was on her face: "The boss said he could invite me, and I agreed...just one bottle, one bottle! Don't worry, I haven't been affected much."

No, you have learned badly!Klein let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Let's go." Klein threw the crystal ball to the boss, and strode towards the door of the grocery store.

Holding the crystal ball, the boss stood behind the counter and shook the wine bottle at the two of them, as if he was happy for sending Nepos away: "Come again next time, welcome to drink anytime haha!"

Klein couldn't help but cast a stern glance at Esther, but he was quite helpless in his heart. Why did he let himself go without looking at her!

Of course Esther didn't look at him again, she put the wine bottle behind her in embarrassment, and started chatting about what to have for lunch, obviously trying to divert Klein's attention.

"I'm going to collect information." Klein pressed the brim of his hat and replied.

Esther thought for a second: "Then I won't go with you? If a big adventurer brings a lady into the bar, it's easy to spread rumors."

"Don't drink too much."

Esther laughed heartily, turned her feet, and walked directly to a restaurant passing by the street: "I'll see you later!"

Klein glanced at Esther's back, didn't say anything, and continued to the local "Lodar" or "Dawn" bar, which is one of the gathering points for adventurers in the Gargas Islands.

But two seconds later, a "chirp" sounded from the top of Klein's top hat, which sounded a little dazed.

Obviously, both of them ignored the existence of this little skylark.

Chatting with a little bird obviously doesn't fit "Gehrman"'s externally ruthless personality, otherwise Klein would definitely mutter something like "Your mother left you behind" to this little bird.

However, even after walking a distance of 50 meters, the skylark didn't react too much, and stayed quietly above Klein's head, showing no "separation anxiety" as Esther called it.

Klein was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much, because Esther's tone sounded very casual at the time, and she probably didn't do too many corresponding experiments.

-

Klein took the carriage to the "Lordal" bar, and Esther casually ordered some special dishes on the recommendation of the waiter in the restaurant.

There is no way, with her height of 1.6 meters, she looks like a pure outsider walking around in Nass. Even if she straightens her back, she can't even reach the shoulders of passers-by.

If it wasn't for enjoying all kinds of dishes, Esther would definitely remain parasitic on the skylark from beginning to end, so that as long as she flies up, she can overlook everyone's hair.

However, because she was holding a bottle of Nipos in her hand, Esther noticed that other people's scrutiny of her turned into curiosity, including the guests at the next table, and even the waiters in this restaurant specially helped her. She came over with an empty glass.

Esther twitched the corners of her mouth, always feeling that they wanted to see her joke.

Then just watch, anyway, she won't get drunk, especially after being promoted to "Parasite", the torrent of spirituality in her blood is enough to wash away any substances that would affect Esther.

Only her face will turn red, and she will be a little excited, so she won't be affected much negatively.

If it is an ordinary bird body, it will not work, but if Esther parasitizes a skylark, the fit between the light spot and the body is high enough, and she can also slightly change the physiological acceptance of the skylark.

So the phrase "eat everything" is Esther's frankness to Klein about the particularity of Lark in disguise. She doesn't know if Klein has heard it.

He is so smart, even if he doesn't think of it now, he should understand in two days.

Soon, Esther’s special dishes were brought to the table by the waiter. Her Fusac language was no longer a problem for simple daily conversations. Coupled with her familiarity with the ancient Fusac language, she chose The dishes I am most interested in.

The deep red beet soup is stewed with cabbage, potatoes and carrots, and a large piece of soft rotten beef. The soup is topped with a spoonful of sour cream, and the sour and salty taste will have a little sweetness.

Esther doesn't like the mixed taste of sour and salty, but she accepts all of this soup.

In addition, there is Fusac pie. Although the literal name is "pie", its appearance is similar to that of baked buns. Cheese, the outer layer is coated with eggs, and it is golden after baking.

Just right with beetroot soup.

In addition, there is a plate of sliced ​​Fusac aspic. Esther thinks it has a bit of a strong taste. She would prefer the traditional light skin jelly, the one dipped in garlic vinegar sauce.

Esther didn't order a drink, but poured a full glass of Nepos to accompany her meal, and enjoyed her lunch leisurely.

She thought that the rest of the time would be so leisurely, but suddenly, four or five people aggressively kicked open the store door, pointed at the customers who were dining at another table, and cursed loudly.

The two men who had been eating slapped the table and got up, not afraid of their own disadvantages, and also cursed back rudely with vulgar words, one voice louder than the other.

As Esther scooped the beet soup into her mouth, she watched the excitement happily, and quickly increased her Fusac vocabulary.

The attitudes of other diners were similar to hers, and they even seemed to be quite used to this situation. Esther couldn't help wondering if this was a unique and simple local custom.

However, after scolding and scolding, after the two groups got angry, they gradually acquired the posture of attacking on the spot.

So the cook rushed out of the back room, clutching a stone dish of cheese patties in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, and snarled the group out of the restaurant.

Esther could hear grunting and banging outside, but when the cook threw the stone dish onto her table, Esther was immediately drawn to the dessert sprinkled with powdered sugar.

The red wine-nosed cook took a deep breath, obviously smelling the smell of Nepos. He bared his teeth at the young foreign lady, and his gloomy face eased a lot: "The taste is good."

"Thank you." Esther smiled back.
