"Start the fire!"

In the square of the manor's small building, Gervais was sitting on a soft chair, holding a silver cup in his hand and giving instructions to a guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing the order, the guard immediately stepped forward with a torch and ignited the stove under the still.

Most of the issues regarding wine and potions have been resolved, and Gervais's remaining energy is to resolve the issues between the dwarves and the blacksmith.

Thomas had bought back the dwarf's fire wine the day before yesterday.

Although this fire wine is very strong and can only be brewed by dwarves, it actually has a large audience in the Holy Alliance.

Many adventurers like such spirits. First of all, such spirits can make them truly feel drunk.

The most important thing is to save money. It usually takes five or six glasses of beer to make people tipsy, but a glass of strong liquor can achieve the same effect.

For some poor adventurers, as long as they can achieve their goals, this is what they like.

Gervais asked Thomas to buy ten barrels, and soon a deal was reached at a caravan.

A total of ten barrels of high-quality fire wine cost 50 gold coins, which is equivalent to 5 gold coins per pot.

At this time, Gervais wanted to purify the fire wine again through the distiller and increase the degree of the fire wine.

As the stove was lit, Gervais began to drink wine to a limited extent and slowly waited.

"Your Majesty, there is hot air coming out of the pipe here!"

About seven or eight minutes later, steam finally began to continuously emerge from the hollow tube connected to the still, and the guard responsible for the inspection immediately reported to Gervais.

"Well! First take a porcelain bowl and take it, then take a half bowl and bring it over! Then use a wine barrel to catch it."

Gervais nodded and gave a casual order.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The guard immediately complied.

As the fire in the stove became more and more intense, the steam coming out of the empty iron pipe gradually became more and more intense.

Most of the steam quickly cooled down as it passed through the long iron pipe, and then re-condensed on the iron pipe and turned into liquid. As the liquid gathered more and more, it finally dripped through the iron pipe into the porcelain bowl.

After another three or four minutes, half a bowl of liquid dropped from the iron pipe.

Seeing this, the guard quickly picked up the porcelain bowl, then placed a wine barrel under the iron pipe, and then came to Gervais with the porcelain bowl.

"Your Majesty, half the bowl has been filled!"

"Um!"

Gervais took the porcelain bowl handed by the guard, first put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

“There’s a hint of a past life!”

When the porcelain bowl came close to the tip of his nose, Gervais immediately smelled the pungent smell of wine.

Then he directly poured the distilled fire wine into his own silver cup, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

"Hiha!"

Because this world lacks the variety of industrialized snacks in the previous life, Gervais would drink his own wine every now and then, which can be regarded as a bit of a drinker.

But when he took a mouthful of the distilled fire wine, he immediately felt a burning sensation in his mouth.

After swallowing the strong fire wine, the burning sensation became even stronger, which made Gervais make the hissing sound of the men in his previous life after drinking.

"It's really spicy! At least it can compete with Lao Baigan in his previous life!"

Gervais smacked his mouth, making comparisons in his mind.

But at this time, the guard who was still standing in front of Gervais waiting for orders had his throat twitching.

This fire wine had no aroma at first, but once it was distilled, the aroma of natural grain fermentation was immediately stimulated. The guards present felt that the distilled wine must be something delicious.

"Come on, come and have a taste too!"

Gervais smiled when he saw the guard's little move. The distilled liquor smelled really good, but drinking it might not make him smell good.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare!"

The guard was stunned at first, and then began to refuse. He did not dare to drink His Majesty the King's 'fine wine'.

"You can drink if I give it to you! Take it! Stand over there and drink!"

Gervais waved his hand towards him and handed the porcelain bowl directly to the guard!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!"

Hearing Gervais speak again, the guard knew that Gervais was not joking and was very curious about the 'wine', so he respectfully took the porcelain bowl and then walked back to his place according to Gervais's instructions.

.

The other guards standing nearby also saw this scene, and they all looked at him with envy.

Under the envious eyes of everyone, the guard proudly raised the porcelain bowl in his hand, and then poured the remaining half of the bowl of white wine into his mouth.

"Well……"

When the half-bowl of distilled liquor entered his mouth, the guard who was originally full of pride immediately changed his expression.

The originally rosy cheeks first turned pale, and then turned from pale to red again!

"Gudong!"

Fortunately, Gervais was present at this time. This guard was also a Golden Knight. His expression changed for a moment, and finally he felt a sudden change in his heart. He swallowed the wine in his mouth with a gulp.

"Haha! Okay, you go down and rinse your mouth first!"

Swallowing this highly alcoholic drink did not relieve the burning sensation. Gervais looked at his uncomfortable appearance and immediately waved his hand towards the guard.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As if he had been granted amnesty, the guard immediately bowed respectfully, then casually covered his throat and ran away into the distance.

The other guards looked at each other in shock when they saw this scene. This wine smells very fragrant, right?

The aroma is stronger than that of wine. Why did this companion feel so strange after drinking it?

…

After confirming that the strength of the distilled fire wine had been greatly improved, Gervais waited with peace of mind.

Finally, after half an hour of distillation, ten barrels of fire wine turned into eight barrels of high-altitude distilled liquor.

"It's time to give it a name!"

Looking at the eight barrels of white wine placed in front of him, Gervais was already very confident in conquering the dwarves.

What you have to do now is to come up with a domineering name, and then summon the dwarves to try it.

"Well, why not call it Hell Fire Wine! It's more terrifying than the Dwarf Fire Wine!"

Gervais just thought for a moment and came up with a perfect name.

The dwarf's fire wine has a high reputation in the Holy Continent and is known for its strong alcohol.

And Gervais added the word "hell" in front of the fire wine, which not only highlights that the hell fire wine is more terrifying than the dwarf fire wine, but also allows people who know about it to imagine the characteristics of the hell fire wine for the first time.

"Your Majesty! I'm back!"

Just after Gervais thought of a name for the distilled liquor, Thomas came back riding a war horse.

"Oh! How did things go?"

"Your Majesty, I have already gone to various stores in the city to promote it. They know that there are still two hundred barrels of wine, and they all said that they will inform you of the purchase quantity tomorrow!"

"very good!"

A total of more than 800 barrels of wine were sold to various holy cities, and there were more than 200 barrels of remaining wine. Naturally, Gervais would not take these wines back.

Instead, it is deliberately reserved for ordinary customers to purchase, so as to maximize the popularity of the wine.

Otherwise, wine will always be an exclusive item for a few holy city lords or a few upper-class families.

And Gervais had just sent Thomas to go to several large taverns in the City of Hope to inform him about the sale of wine.

After the owners of these taverns buy it back, the wine can be sold as the treasure of their stores.

Although the selling price is definitely not cheap, as long as an ordinary person or adventurer tastes the deliciousness of wine.

Gervais believes that the good reputation of wine will spread among the lower classes in the future.

It will become the greatest talk and honor for these adventurers and ordinary people.

"I had a glass of wine at the pub yesterday!"

"Hiss! Are you getting rich?"

…

"I just made a lot of money. Come on, I'll buy you a drink!"

"Okay, since you are rich, then treat us to wine!"
