Chapter 67 Such a low alcohol tolerance! She saved them, so she...
"Huh? Magic potion? What magic potion?" Ananka was dragged out of the house by his sister in a daze, and the strong fruity smell that hit him instantly woke him up. "Wait, magic potion?!"
Ananna nodded happily, pulling her brother to fly to the roof to get the bowls—the wooden bowls that the Flower Fairy had specially prepared for them were too big to fit inside the house. At first, the flower fairy slaves actually put the bowls everywhere, some on the ground, some on wheat leaves, until a flower fairy put the large wooden bowl upside down on the roof of the round house, so that it wouldn't stick to the soil or slip off. Then the flower fairy slaves all put the wooden bowls on the roof.
Now that I think about it, wasn't Lilia the first one to put the wooden bowl on the roof? She's so clever! Ananka exclaimed as she hurriedly flew over and picked up her own bowl.
Following the flower fairy slave, Ananka flew towards the edge of the field of ground grass flowers. From afar, she saw the Flower Fairy. She stood quietly in the night, radiating brilliant light like a goddess. The six pairs of petal-like wings that unfolded behind her were even more dazzling and bright.
As they drew closer, the rich, almost tangible fragrance in the air grew stronger. Gradually, in addition to the fruity scent that Ananka had initially detected, she also smelled another fragrant and sweet aroma.
Flying out of the field of grass and flowers, Ananka saw several servants from the Flower Castle who were distributing food to the slaves as usual. The aggressive, rich fruity scent was emanating from the large wooden barrels the servants were carrying, while the sweeter fragrance came from behind them.
Following the sweet aroma, Ananka looked over and saw a smiling, magnificent, and radiant flower fairy holding a huge wooden tray in her hands. On this enormous tray, piled high with brown bread, was a mountain of bread.
Is that acorn bread?!
Ananka had heard of this name before. When he worked in the magic workshop, he heard the common people talk about acorn bread with great admiration. Their family members who joined the patrol team would receive this food as a reward if they won in the combat training, and they could also taste it. According to them, acorn bread tasted sweeter than the sweetest honey and softer than the softest cloud. It was hard to imagine that it was made from bitter and astringent acorns. They had never tasted such delicious food!
Ananka, who had never tasted acorns, couldn't imagine what they tasted like. Could acorns be more bitter than bitter wheat? Could acorn bread be more delicious than the bone broth and mutton soup he had drunk before?
All the wooden bowls brought by the flower fairy slaves were filled with a magical potion called "acorn wine." Even though the acorn wine only lightly covered the bottom of the bowls, the strong aroma still made the flower fairy slaves a little dizzy. Not to mention, in addition to the magical potion, they were also given a soft, fluffy acorn bread that exuded a sweet aroma. It was a very large piece of acorn bread—enough to cover the entire wooden bowl!
Born in a land of sin, the flower fairy slaves have rarely eaten proper food, and they have only ever heard of magic potions from the elders. Often, when someone unfortunately catches a fever, an old flower fairy will mutter something like, "If only we had magic potions."
The flower fairies who had fallen ill with fever all died, as did the old flower fairies who chanted about magic potions. Before the Flower Fairy arrived in the Land of Sin, countless flower fairy slaves had perished.
After the arrival of the Flower Fairy, the surviving flower fairy slaves were given wheat seeds. The bitter wheat that sprouted from the seeds was allowed to be boiled into soup for them to drink. They were also given an exquisitely beautiful round house. When there were signs of a storm, the Flower Fairy properly settled them in the beautiful flower field under the magic tree.
After declaring that slaves also possess magical talents and can regain their commoner status, the Flower Fairy also allowed him and his sister to enter the magic workshop and work with the commoners. Now, the Flower Fairy has also bestowed upon them magic potions and acorn bread!
Almost all the flower fairy slaves felt guilty, especially those cursed in the Land of Sin. But Ananka witnessed his mother inexplicably fall ill with a fever and die, and soon after, he watched helplessly as his sister also inexplicably contracted the same illness. He didn't know what sin his mother and sister had committed, nor did he understand the curse borne by these slaves who struggled even to survive. He didn't believe nobles were born superior, just as he didn't believe he and Ananana were born lowly. But he didn't understand why they had to suffer all this. He even doubted whether the Flower Goddess truly existed.
Flower fairy slaves are still flower fairies, so why does the Flower Goddess only protect commoners and nobles?
Then the Flower Fairy arrived. The common people later called the Flower Fairy the representative of the Flower Goddess. An Anka, however, refused to believe it. If the Flower Goddess really existed, and the representative of the Flower Goddess really existed, then what about the suffering that the abandoned flower fairy slaves endured before the representative of the Flower Goddess appeared?
If there really is a Flower Goddess, he is willing to believe that the Flower Fairy is the Flower Goddess. She saved them, so she is the Flower Goddess of all the flower fairies and slaves!
Acorn bread was indeed an unimaginable delicacy. Its fluffy, soft, sweet, and delicate texture made Ananka feel as if she had entered a divine kingdom. After sitting on the roof with her sister and slowly eating the acorn bread, Ananka thought they would be too full to drink the magic potion. Unexpectedly, they ended up drinking the magic potion.
This magical potion called "acorn wine" has a somewhat indescribable taste. The aroma is so strong that it makes Ananka a little dizzy. The first sip should taste good, but his head is getting dizzier and dizzier. After swallowing it, it's really terrible. It's like his stomach is on fire!
But Ananka couldn't resist drinking sip after sip until he finished it all. He then helped his equally dizzy sister into her room—they bumped heads three or five times during the process. Afterward, Ananka walked into his round house with weak legs—bumping into the stems of the ground grass three or five times during the process. Finally, he climbed onto the bed on his hands and feet, closed his eyes, and knew nothing more.
Shu Xin didn't expect the River Fairy to have such a low alcohol tolerance!
Together with Meimeilin and the others, she first distributed acorn wine and acorn bread to the flower fairy slaves. Then, she led her servants to the commoners' quarters, distributing the wine and bread while sending each servant home. After distributing everything, Shuxin went down to the basement of the Flower Castle and expanded the underground warehouse to properly store the acorn wine and bread. Then, she took a small barrel of wine and went to the fifth-floor terrace, intending to have a small drink.
Before she could even drink a few sips, the round, large moon in the night sky went from three to six!
