"Do you have any favorite wine?"
Behind the workbench, Eliza asked warmly, "If it's from Yingzhou, it should be sake or whiskey, right? Or tequila? Dongxia's white wine is also fine. Please feel free to order. It's my treat today. "
"Giving out free questions at this time, isn't it obvious that you have bad intentions?"
Huai Shi knocked on the bar in front of him, "I don't drink much when I mix, so you can make yourself at home. If you want, give me some wine with loneliness and heartache? "
"Please don't take out this messy way of ordering wine again, okay? We don't have that kind of thing here."
Eliza took out a bottle, pulled out the cork and smelled it. She happily enjoyed the sweet taste, "How about some rum? It can be mixed with happy water. After putting two slices of lemon, you will feel free … Although the place that originally felt very free will be miserable in the end, it's always right to enjoy the present. "
"So casual?" Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
"It's just a joke. The one who enjoys the present is me."
She directly picked up the bottle of rum, drank a part of it, and then threw it aside.
This was her freedom, and it had nothing to do with others.
Enter the state.
In this way, Eliza exhaled happily. She reached out and took out the base wine prepared for this competition from the deepest part of the cabinet. Her movements were swift.
The bottles were piled up like a small mountain.
Huai Shi's eyes widened, "So exaggerated?"
"It looks like a lot, but it's actually just seasoning."
Just between her five fingers, strands of dark precipitation slowly emerged. Gray lines lit up from under her fingernails, and countless ferocious and malicious eyes intertwined in the darkness between her five fingers.
That was the breath left by the existence above the abyss, the curse left by the king who ruled hell.
"The curse of the ruler?"
Huai Shi frowned, "No wonder you were forced to take a vacation … What did you do to provoke a great god?"
"It's just a little contribution, don't worry about it. But this curse is very interesting, so I kept it. Later, I found a corpse workshop to modify it, and it turned into a pretty good work. "
Eliza's fingertips rotated the ounce glass and smoothly received the clear wine. The clear and transparent aroma of the wine reverberated in the air, causing Vladimir to excitedly take off his sunglasses and sniff the fragrance.
"Vodka."
Huai Shi asked as he identified the mellowness that was so pure that it did not contain any fragrance. Then, she saw the tomatoes and celery coming out of the crisper box.
The blood-like tomato juice was squeezed into the Schiker pot and mixed with the vodka, faintly mixing with the pungent smell of chili.
Then, lemon juice was squeezed in.
Pepper powder, chili powder … all kinds of spices were used generously. In the end, a stalk of celery was mixed evenly, perfectly fusing the Ruler's Curse in the hand.
In less than a minute, a glass of scarlet wine was delivered to Huai Shi.
"The most suitable aperitif for you, Bloody Mary. Please, Miss Paper."
Eliza smiled and studied his expression.
In the blood-colored wine, there seemed to be endless darkness rippling. In a trance, the wonders and malice of the abyss emerged, making people shudder.
When Huai Shi picked up the wine glass, he could perceive what kind of bomb and malice was contained in the glass.
Once swallowed, the consequences would not be much different from swallowing lava, right?
In the silence, Huai Shi thought, and he felt that something was not quite right.
Time passed by bit by bit.
Eliza was not in a hurry. She just looked at Miss Paper's contemplative look. After a long time, she reminded softly, "The best tasting time is almost over. Even if you are a novice, you should be mentally prepared, right?"
Huai Shi sighed, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip.
In an instant, he felt the unique sour and sweet taste of fresh tomatoes erupt in his mouth, with the fragrance of spices, and it fell into his stomach like hot magma.
Immediately afterward, Huai Shi felt that his vision turned black, and he suddenly couldn't breathe.
He subconsciously held the table for support.
He fell into a daze.
What kind of curse is this?
Even the Decaying Dream Origin Substance could not affect him … … His strength, agility, and even endurance were shaved off by a large portion the moment he swallowed it!
Almost … … one fifth?
He didn't even know what happened. The weakness came so suddenly that he didn't even have time to resist.
If this was a game, he even suspected that there was a game designer behind the scenes who suddenly adjusted his character's game values … … He couldn't even feel the curse state.
It was so sudden that the situation had reversed!
"Grief, I call it that."
Eliza leaned on the bar, looked at Miss Paper's pale face, and explained considerately, "You have to be careful. The curse left by the dead ruler is to make all things wither with him, and it is inevitable to pass away … … Once touched, life, stamina, and Origin Substance will quickly disappear.
The Continuation Academy couldn't deal with it, so they could only seal it in my body.
Don't worry, what you experience is just the product of the blending, it can't even be considered an aftershock. It is reflected in your body. Every time you touch it, it will probably deduct one fifth of your existing life. This is just an illusion formed by the erosion of reality. After an hour, it will collapse. "
She paused for a moment, revealing a dangerous smile, "If you can persist in front of the table for an hour, victory will be yours."
How much wine could a skilled bartender make in an hour?
If it was Eliza, at full power, she could make at least 60 cups. Every time his body touched it, one fifth of his life was deducted … … After an hour, Huai Shi's life would become the same as a paramecium.
Not to mention continuing to drink, he probably wouldn't even have the strength to breathe!
Not to mention the other disasters fused in the wine … …
Therefore, the number of contact must be reduced.
In other words … …
Huai Shi lowered his head to look at the remaining half of the cup of wine. He instantly raised his head and drank it all!
In one gulp, he drank it all!
Immediately, the inexplicable weakness came again, and Huai Shi's stamina was drained again. Then, he felt as if his stomach had been punched by someone.
Everything in front of him turned dark, and his eyes were burned red by the explosion of alcohol.
He felt that he had swallowed a cup of hot lava! Right now, that ball of viscous fire was burning in his stomach, constantly ravaging his lungs.
"Don't underestimate vodka. This pure alcohol mixture is flammable. Today, I have prepared the Water of Life, which is comparable to nitroglycerin, for you."
Eliza looked at Huai Shi's red cheeks, couldn't help but reach out and pinch it. She sighed considerately, "If you can't drink it, you can admit defeat at any time."
He had already shown mercy to his opponent, Huai Shi.
Otherwise, she didn't need to explain the principle of the curse. Of course, maybe this was also to bluff him, but Huai Shi couldn't find any way to break it for the time being.
This was the most unsolvable and straightforward way of fighting.
The weakening of his life force brought about a rapid decline in his resistance to alcohol. Eliza didn't even need to poison him. When Huai Shi's life force fell to one-twentieth of the current level, he would be drunk to death in an instant.
Ushering in failure.
In other words, he had to make her admit defeat before he fell.
In the silence, Huai Shi slowly raised his head and took a deep breath.
He looked up.
"Next, it's my turn, right?"
Miss Huai Zhi grinned and asked softly like a beast looking at an enemy.
Being looked at like that, Eliza's breathing paused for a moment.
Then, Miss Huai Zhi picked up the sake in the box beside her and placed it on the bar counter.
The glass and the solid wood rubbed against each other, making a low and crisp sound.
"Sake, I haven't tasted it for a long time." Eliza sighed, "But the sake itself, other than being cut, doesn't have any room to be processed, right? Moreover, if you just bought someone else's wine for me to drink, it can't be considered as a wine master's ability. "
"Don't worry, this bottle of wine can be considered as one that I participated in brewing. En, it's a work of painstaking effort."
Huai Shi's thumb stroked the cork of the wine bottle, and his expression became nostalgic.
The moment his thumb lifted the cork, a clear and mellow wine aroma gushed out from it like a waterfall, turning into an omnipresent tide that spread in all directions.
Just like … a light rain in early spring, it silently moistened every part of his surroundings.
He could feel the joyous vitality in the air.
Right now, that vitality was resonating with the paper in front of Orisa, as if it came from the same source. Without a doubt, this was her masterpiece.
"Tengou Mountain's technique? That's amazing, Miss Huai Zhi. My impression of you has changed. "
Eliza was intoxicated by the fragrance of the wine. She opened her eyes and sighed solemnly, "To be able to brew such an excellent wine, perhaps you are really an enemy that can defeat me."
"You flatter me, it's just a little work."
Huai Shi smiled and took out the porcelain bottle of sake from the box beside him. He tilted the bottle and poured the wine into it.
About 200 milliliters.
When his palm swept across the clay stove, a flame had already risen vigorously from it.
"Is this for 'warm up'?"
Eliza nodded in understanding, "I usually like to drink cold, and it's not bad to drink warm sake once in a while."
"It's not sake, it's a cocktail."
Huai Shi corrected her.
He raised his hand and pressed it on the porcelain bottle.
Under the long glove, the steel arm cracked, and a faint flame appeared.
— -Casting, begin!
The flame on the clay stove suddenly rose violently, almost engulfing the container and the porcelain bottle in it.
The so-called 'warm up' was originally a way to drink sake after it was warmed up. But now, this sudden burst of terrifying firepower was as if it was going to boil the entire Qingjiu!
"After it's completely boiled, the alcohol will be lost and it won't taste good anymore! Stop it! "
As a person who loved wine, Eliza widened her eyes and reached out to stop, but she was stopped by Huai Shi's other hand. Miss Huai Zhi was smiling.
"Don't worry, Miss."
The woman said, "The modulation has just begun."
Under her palm, in the dancing flame, the clear sake was quickly dyed scarlet. Like a burning flame, it was surging and fluctuating.
Under the precise control of the alchemy fire, there was no loss of the alcohol composition, and the entire porcelain bottle had already ushered in a qualitative change under this' water refining 'alchemy.
Time passed in a flash.
When the expanding flame dissipated, Huai Shi raised two fingers and pulled the porcelain bottle out of the water.
The water in the container didn't even have any heat rising.
All the heat was concentrated in the liquor.
When Huai Shi's fingers tilted, the blood-red liquor quietly flowed into the thumb-sized porcelain cup, rippling with light.
It was like a melted gem.
"Please use it, Miss Eliza."
The exquisite porcelain cup was placed in front of her, and Motoko Huai Zhi said softly,
"— Special Sake · Volcano!"
