"From my perspective, White Ball is a very good wine."
As Hong Ke said this, Yin La stood next to him, who was very tall, and looked like a child... In fact, given Yin La's current appearance, there wasn't much of a problem with saying that.
People in this world know that judging a person's age by their appearance is ridiculous, so it's perfectly fine for Vera to be called an auntie at her age, but many people will definitely be angry about it.
But most of them are women (whispering)
"Yes, and for the Empire, this kind of sweet wine might be more popular... I'm not so sure about the situation in other countries, except for the dwarves who certainly wouldn't like it."
As Yinla spoke, looking at the clear liquor being distilled and dripping down in front of him, and smelling its aroma, he said, "However, it's enough if it sells well in the Empire."
Hearing Yinla's words, Hongke turned her head, her small, black eyes, shaped like melon seeds, looking at Yinla beside her with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Don't dwarves like to drink?"
Indeed, dwarves are a race that loves alcohol, but this also means that they have excellent brewing skills, and taste is also a very important factor.
"The dwarves prefer stronger liquor."
As Yinla said this, he watched the drops of white wine fall into the jar, blinked, and gestured, saying, "So, clear and sweet fruit wine might not be to their liking."
"..."
"Mr. Yinla, you know so much."
Hong Ke couldn't help but say, looking at the halberd in his hand, he sincerely sighed and said, "I am just a warrior. You didn't need to ask me to come and see the situation of Baiqiu Wine. I can't offer any advice other than my own."
Indeed, even in the Demon King's Territory, a place known for its simple-mindedness, Rainbow Shell is relatively simple-minded.
Yinla patted Hongke's waist nonchalantly and said, "It's alright. You're one of the few leaders who likes to drink, and I couldn't turn to anyone else but you."
"..."
"Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~"
Looking at the wine dripping from his eyes, Hong Ke paused for a moment before saying, "I used to drink more, but lately... I only drink occasionally at banquets."
As he spoke, Rainbow Shell raised his head, his mouth, which resembled an insect's proboscis, moved slightly, and continued, "Yinla, you may not know, but the insectoid race, like the sirens, were once traitors."
Yinla really didn't know this. He looked at Hong Ke, waiting for her to continue...
"However, our betrayal wasn't a true escape from the Demon King's territory... no, it could be considered an escape from the Demon King's territory."
Rainbow Shell spoke contradictory words, unsure how to put them, and could only sigh, saying, "I'm clumsy with words, I can't explain it clearly... but after His Highness Favignon died, there must have been more insectoids on the battlefield, right?"
That's true.
Yinla clearly remembered that after he killed Faviginho, he was seriously injured and recuperated for a week. When he returned to the battlefield, he found that the number of insectoids on the battlefield had increased dramatically.
But what does this have to do with the insectoid betrayal? If it was betrayal, shouldn't they have disappeared from the battlefield altogether? Just like the vampire army, whose numbers were drastically reduced later on.
“I was the leader of the insectoid race from that time on, and those children, probably less than half of them, took advantage of my drunkenness and ignored all the obstruction and Prince Satan Ye’s orders to rush to the battlefield to their deaths.”
The reason it was described as "suicide" is because by then, the Demon King's territory had almost figured out a way to minimize losses in battle... which was to spread out as much as possible.
When the governor uses [Wing Shatter], it usually sweeps away a large area at once. So if you form a military formation in the normal way, the result will only be that you will be wiped out by a single Wing Shatter attack.
Therefore, it's not wrong to say that those hot-blooded insectoids are just pointlessly throwing their lives away... In fact, the large amounts of mana they contribute are quite good [ammunition], which can be used to help kill other monsters.
As Hong Ke said this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "I also started to stop drinking much after that. If it weren't for everyone drinking at the banquet, I really wouldn't dare to drink at all."
"..."
Yinla nodded, patting Rainbow Shell's shell and saying comfortingly, "Perhaps that was indeed a betrayal, but... perhaps I'm the one who should feel sorry for it."
After all, it was Yinla who personally killed the former Demon King.
“A battlefield is a battlefield. When I went to the battlefield, I was already prepared to die. Whether I die or not, I will not resent anyone. Prince Favignon is the same... Prince Satan must think so too.”
As Hong Ke said this, he awkwardly conveyed the meaning of "So, Satan Ye doesn't hate you," hoping that Yin La wouldn't harbor any resentment.
However, Illa never would have done so in the first place.
"I know, please don't mind it."
As Yinla spoke, looking at the little demon that was beginning to seal the caps, he said, "Afterwards, we need to find a way to promote the liquor. Currently, the production of White Ball liquor is too low, so we can only take the premium route."
However, for alcoholic beverages, the boutique route is not as easy as for perfumes.
...
A premium route?
Hong Ke didn't quite understand, and he shook his head in confusion, but like Satan Ye, he understood the principle of "If I don't understand, then I'll leave it to someone who does."
“I don’t understand, anyway… I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Illa.”
As he said this, Hong Ke patted Yin La on the shoulder, nodded very seriously, and said to Yin La, "If there's anything you need me to do, please feel free to use me!"
This was a very trustworthy promise, and for some reason... Yinla was somewhat moved.
"Thanks."
As Yinla spoke, a smile appeared on his face. He looked up at Rainbow Shell, who was staring intently at him, and said, "Then the first step is to let go of your guilt towards Satan Leaf and get rid of your inferiority complex towards the Demon King's territory... The Insect People are not traitors."
Rainbow Shell: "Huh!?"
"..."
"Hmm... As brave and proud warriors, the insectoids need to be more confident."
Yinla spoke lightly, patting the other's stiff body to signal him to relax. He looked up in the afternoon sunlight, his eyes sparkling with a beautiful light, as if he could see right through Hongke.
"Even if it's just for the Demon King's territory, do your best!"
Yinla's words caused a brief silence, and then...
Rainbow Shell: "Yes!"
