She wakes up drunk every day and falls asleep in a daze, becoming increasingly unable to tell the difference between day and night.
I lived in a state of drunkenness and dreams for nearly half a year.
Wine tasting must be done by the winemaker himself, no one else can do it for him.
I didn't have this trouble in the past.
Because mead production has been very low.
To make mead, honey needs to be diluted with water, then cooked at high temperatures, and finally made into wine. This series of processes requires precise control, and each step consumes a lot of time and energy.
Honey has always been an expensive food, and the amount available for production is small.
Brewing mead can be said to be a delicate job that requires both money and patience.
But since Lieyu came to the fortress, this situation has completely changed.
After drinking the mead she made, the dwarves reached a consensus: as long as she was willing to stay in the fortress and make wine for the dwarves, the honey would be enough! And the dwarves would give her as much as she wanted.
It’s all about making better wine than this!
They even gave Hunter Rain a nickname, calling her the Mead Princess.
According to the oral tradition of the Stove Clan, the dwarf ancestors were friends with many princesses. Those princesses were either of noble status or experienced adventures, but they were all beautiful and charming noble ladies.
Lieyu felt that this title was completely inappropriate for him.
She is not a noble lady, she is just a huntress who has been climbing mountains and catching sea since she was a child. Moreover, she is already in her thirties and is no longer young.
Lieyu knew very well that his appearance was not outstanding. How could an adventurer who had been exposed to the sun and rain maintain his skin fair and delicate?
But she doesn't care about this.
She has a pair of hands covered with fine wounds, dexterous and powerful. She can climb trees easily, bend a bow and shoot arrows, catch rocks and birds on cliffs, and collect honey skillfully.
She has a pair of tireless legs that can keep running like a rabbit and can accurately kick the gangster's vitals.
She has the face of an adventurer, and the dirty mud and sweat are her best battle decorations.
Lieyu was once blocked by a pride of lions at the entrance of a cave, and was also chased by man-eating crabs in the water. She was sneak-attacked by adventurers, and met a businessman with evil intentions... She was not afraid at all.
Adventurers must learn to live with a smile.
But now, she is a little scared.
For the first time, Lieyu truly felt that she might die drunk in the dwarf fortress. If she died in such a way, she would be following the old path of her great-grandfather, which would make her headache worse.
She rubbed her forehead with her hands and drank a large glass of water. Her head was a little hazy and her body was swaying.
"Are you okay?" A dwarf helped her.
"I'm fine... I just have a little headache. Just drink some honey and it'll be fine."
Lieyu took out one of the jars densely packed on the wall, scooped out a spoonful of honey, stirred it into the water, then raised his head and drank it.
Honey water can sober up alcohol, which is also a little discovery made by the Hunter family.
When she came to her senses a little, she noticed that the dwarf standing in front of her had no beard and was the female dwarf Huo Shaoyun, who was also Xie Yu's roommate and lived in the same room as her.
"You gave me a big scare yesterday."
The female dwarf smiled hoarsely, showing her wide gums: "I helped you back, and you were singing and dancing there. You even said you wanted to make rose wine from the roses in the Valley of the Gods."
"What's the name of the one you're singing?"
Huo Shaoyun imitated the staggering steps and sang tunelessly: "Rose, Rose, I love you."
Lieyu's ears turned red, and she quickly stretched out her hand to stop him: "Okay, okay!"
Huo Shaoyun asked her curiously: "Is there really a huge white rose in the Valley of the Gods in the Eastern Continent? There are straits and mountains there, as well as many extraordinary creatures. The next place we, the blast furnace people, plan to go to is there."
"some."
Lieyu touched his hot ears with his hand: "Mr. Yanjiu practiced there and repeatedly competed with the strange power grass inside. It was a powerful creature that was difficult to deal with... I saw the white rose there."
"It is very big, taller and more eye-catching than the surrounding pine trees. It is surrounded by the fresh fragrance of flowers. It shoots out sharp thorns, which is beautiful and dangerous. Only the green swallowtail butterfly and the stink swallowtail butterfly will not be attacked by it if they get close."
Huo Shaoyun listened with yearning on his face: "If you use that kind of rose to make wine, it will definitely be very fragrant, right?"
"..."
Lieyu looked helpless: "At that time, Mr. Yanjiu couldn't even get close. The needles of the white rose were too powerful. If we can get the withered petals, maybe there is a way."
"We'll find the petals, can you make rose wine?"
"If I can really get it, I think I can."
When Lieyu saw that the other party was not joking, he also made a serious commitment.
"Then it's a deal!"
The two parties bumped their fists, and then spread their fingers.
This is a custom for the Huolu clan to make a vow.
Huo Shaoyun asked again: "Besides, have you been to the Canopy City in the Valley of Gods?"
"I've seen it, but I haven't climbed the tree."
Lieyu recalled: “The red pine trees there carry toxins, and you can easily get poisoned if you fall into them. I followed Mr. Yanjiu and saw from a distance that the squirrels on the trees were busy all the time. Although they couldn’t speak, they could
They exchanged pine nuts for wheat cakes with us. They are a very friendly group of guys.”
"oh……"
Seeing Huo Shaoyun's worried look, Lie Yu realized that something might be wrong with her.
"What's wrong? Something happened?"
"No," the female dwarf said, "It's just that a martial arts association has been established in Yancheng. The martial arts cultivators are being organized to officially enter the Valley of the Gods, saying they want to check the situation there."
Lieyu had no interest in this.
Now she only thinks about three things: wine, wine, wine.
"There's one more thing. I almost forgot."
Huo Shaoyun took out a necklace from his armor. The chain body of the necklace was made of brass and was very delicate, and the pendant was a white shell without any impurities.
"This is a rare and sophisticated piece of equipment!"
The female dwarf said with excitement: "Even the furnace clan needs a lot of precious materials to make such a good thing, and it also requires a lot of complicated craftsmanship and forging!"
"You'll understand when you put it on."
Lieyu tried to put the necklace on his neck.
After buttoning the buckle, she felt a warm force surrounding herself, which immediately made her dizzy brain sober.
"It's incredible..." Lieyu gently touched the necklace around his neck.
"Everyone made this specially for you. We know that you often get drunk. With it, you will not get drunk easily."
Huo Shaoyun said seriously: "This necklace is called Mead Princess, and its ability is immunity to drunkenness. It uses many extraordinary materials, including the sachet of the musk ladybug, the oil secreted by the sandworm, and the omnipotent stone found by the fishmen...
As long as you wear it, you won't get drunk. We all failed hundreds of times before forging it successfully. It was made just for you."
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Lieyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The dwarves had a strong obsession with the title princess.
"thank you all!"
She sighed in her heart.
The Stove people are indeed passionate, and they will treat their friends sincerely and without reservation.
Lieyu secretly made up his mind to brew the best mead to repay these dwarf friends.
Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "Everyone, come out and see, there is a new sun! Hey, the sun is blue this time!"
Lieyu and Huoshaoyun walked out of the fortress.
She raised her head.
A blue sun slowly rose in the sky, emitting a faint light like the sea, facing another golden sun in the distance.
The dwarves all looked up at the two suns in the sky, marveling at them one by one.
The other two members of "The Strange Man from the Blast Furnace" were also present.
Gao Youzhuang crossed his arms and said, "I wonder if this new sun will be expelled by the gods... I hope it understands something. Otherwise, it will be the fate of the dark sun."
"No, no, look carefully."
The man next to him said fiercely: "Ah Gao, feel it with your heart. There is the power of Lord Yao on this blue sun...do you feel it?"
"It's true... it turns out that the sun was created by the god Yao."
"Hey, don't be distracted. Look carefully at the sun and you can make a wish...it's called the Wishing Star]."
"It's a gift from the gods! Come on, everyone, make a wish!"
Just by looking up at the blue sun, everyone can immediately understand that this round of blue sun carries incredible divine power. It is listening to the voice of every believer of Yao God. If you pray to it and make an oath, you will receive the divine power.
s concern.
Lieyu touched the Mead Princess on her neck].
She crossed her index fingers, looked at the wishing star, and prayed silently in her heart.
The omnipotent God Yao, please let me try out the best recipe for mead as soon as possible...
