Chapter 589: Wine of the Elf Tribe (Part 2)
"Oh? There is also the more precious golden wine? How much gold coins are there for a pot?"
Hearing the servant's words that were like setting a trap for them, Lachi was not angry at all. Instead, he was very surprised and was obviously looking forward to the more precious golden wine.
"Master Lachi, this kind of golden wine is made from ordinary grapes, but the precious golden wine is made from magic potion fruit. Not only does it taste sweeter and more comfortable, but it also has the effect of improving cultivation!"
"The price is 300 gold coins per pot, and there are less than 20 pots left in the manor! And we will also give you a secret delicacy, which is also a delicacy passed down from the elves and has never been seen in the Holy Continent!"
The attendant explained everything to Lachi in detail.
After hearing this introduction, Laci, Adela and Zenia immediately showed anticipation in their eyes.
"Okay! Bring us a pot quickly."
Without thinking, Lachi nodded and ordered a pot. Even the golden wine made from ordinary grapes tasted so good, he could imagine how delicious the wine made from magic potion fruit would be.
"Okay, Master Lachi, please wait a moment!"
After hearing what Lachi said, the servant immediately responded respectfully and then quickly went to get the precious golden wine.
After the servants left, Laci and his companions began to finish the wine in the crystal glasses. They had not eaten even a single bite of the food since it was served.
But Gervis's attention was now on the servant's last words.
"A secret delicacy passed down from the elves? Could it be my golden oysters?"
Gervis had a vague premonition of this, but he felt that he was overthinking it.
If grilled oysters appeared, it would really mean that the golden wine and grilled oysters came from their Storm Territory, so how did they get here?
Gervis didn't have to wait long. After just a moment, the servant came back, followed by several servants carrying exquisite trays.
"It's actually grilled oysters! What...what's going on?"
Gervis' heart was shaken, as if he were dreaming.
If he had not been sure before that the golden wine came from Storm Leader.
But the moment the golden oysters appeared, he was 100% sure that these things really came from Storm Territory.
After all, there are no coincidences in the world.
"Hey, is this the secret delicacy you mentioned? What's it called? It tastes pretty fragrant and unique!"
Laci is indeed a playboy, very picky about food and drink, and was immediately attracted by the aroma of grilled oysters.
"Master Lachi, this secret delicacy also comes from the elves, and its name is golden oysters!"
"And if you eat this golden oyster regularly, women can improve their beauty and men can strengthen their bodies! I heard that the reason why the elves are so handsome is that they have been eating this golden oyster in the past."
The servant spoke in a set manner, answering respectfully while directing the four servants carrying trays to place the golden oysters in front of Gervis and the other three.
Hearing the servant's words, Adela and Zenia blushed slightly. Although they were both delicate little girls, this was the trend in this fantasy continent. Although the servant spoke very obscurely, the hidden meaning of strengthening the body could still be understood.
Different from the other two girls' reactions, Lachi's eyes were shining and he couldn't wait to eat the golden oysters.
However, Gervis was thoughtful in his mind. He was very familiar with these words. He seemed to have recorded such propaganda words in his notebook. This servant just replaced the handsome men and beautiful women with elves.
If the southern expedition had not started at that time, Gervis's slogan would have spread throughout the Principality of Zeon along with the promotion of oysters.
As the oysters were arranged, the waiter quickly refilled everyone's empty glasses with the fine wine.
From then on, the waiter did not add any more drama to himself, but respectfully bowed to the few people and said goodbye, then left the restaurant.
"The food is ready, let's start enjoying it!"
Lachi couldn't wait any longer, but he resisted the urge and greeted them like a gentleman.
Then everyone started eating.
Lach was the first to lift up the crystal glass in front of him and took a sip of the fine wine. After the wine entered his mouth, his eyes widened and he remained dazed for a moment.
After a while, Laqi came to his senses, and then gulped down the wine in the crystal glass without saying a word.
Adela and Zenia did the same, of course. They drank much faster than before, and the blush on their faces became even more intense, like ripe peaches, becoming even more tempting.
After tasting the fine wine, Laci and his companions couldn't wait to eat the oysters.
When they picked up the spoon, scooped up the oyster meat and minced garlic from the palm-sized oyster shell and stuffed it into their backs, the three of them froze again.
It was obvious that I was conquered by the unfamiliar but impactful taste once.
After that, the people who were eating didn't talk much and were concentrating on enjoying the delicious food.
Gervis didn't have much appetite during this period, because he was still thinking about how his oysters and wine came to this sacred continent.
If Laci and others had not been present, Gervis would have stood up on the spot and asked the servants about these things.
At this moment, I could only suppress it in my heart temporarily, and prepare to find an opportunity to go out and ask after dinner.
During the meal, seeing that the group enjoyed the grilled oysters so much, Gervis shared his oysters with them, giving each person five.
Perhaps because they were so delicious and the golden oysters were a gift, Laci and the others did not object. Only Adela's already rosy face turned even redder. It was obvious that her greedy appearance made her lose her usual dignified and ladylike personality.
"Phew, I'm finally full! Today's food is the most delicious I've ever eaten!"
After they finished the food on the long table, Laci said with satisfaction.
"Me too!"
Zenia agreed immediately.
"Um!"
Adela also nodded in agreement!
"I wonder how such delicious golden wine and golden oysters are made. How about we ask the supervisor to come and introduce them?"
Lachi was savoring the delicious food and suddenly suggested.
Unsurprisingly, his proposal was approved by several people.
Lachi and the other two were so conquered by the delicious food that they became curious about the origins of the food and wine.
But Gervis wanted to know how the golden wine and golden oysters came to the Holy Continent.
Since Lachi took the initiative to offer it, it saved him a lot of trouble.
Soon, the supervisor here was called over.
"Dear distinguished young masters and young ladies, I am Izzy, the manager of Leng Feicui. May I ask if you are satisfied with today's food?"
The supervisor was a middle-aged man wearing a silk gown. When he saw everyone, he bowed very politely and asked questions.
"Manager Izzy, we are very satisfied with Leng Feicui's delicious food. We asked you to come here because we have a few questions we want to ask."
Lachie replied.
"Okay, Master Lachi, feel free to ask any questions you have!"
This room was booked by Lachi, so Leng Feicui's servants and supervisor all knew Lachi's name. Izzy replied very respectfully and then waited for Lachi's questions.
"It's like this. Are these golden wine and golden oysters really obtained from the elves? We have never heard of the elves having such fine wine and delicacies before."
Lachi was not vague and started asking questions directly.
"Master Lachi, we obtained this golden wine and golden oysters from the Holy Trading Company. They were also brought back from a previous trade with the elves. They were indeed obtained from the Holy Forest."
"As for why there was no news about golden wine and golden oysters before, I have no idea."
Perhaps because he saw that Laci frowned slightly and was not satisfied with his answer, the manager Izzy hesitated for a moment and continued.
"But... I heard from the people at the Sacred Trading Company that something very strange happened in the Sacred Forest! Maybe the appearance of the golden wine and golden oysters is related to this!"
"Oh? What's so strange?"
Immediately, several people became interested.
"The people at the Sacred Trading Company said that a huge change has taken place in the Sacred Forest. Not only did the elves regain their queen some time ago, but our human race has also appeared there! And there are quite a few of them!"
Steward Izzy said this with a hopeful look on his face, and it was obvious that even he himself found these words shocking and unbelievable.
"What? We humans appeared in the Sacred Forest? Manager Izzy, did the people from the Sacred Trading Company see it wrong, or are they adventurers captured by the elves?"
Lachi and the others exclaimed in surprise. The appearance of humans in the sacred forest shocked them more than the elves regaining their queen.
The elves are extremely strict towards humans who dare to enter the sacred forest. If you don't have any legitimate reasons, no matter if you are a black-hearted adventurer or not, you will be sent directly to the forest to feed the monsters without any negotiation.
“Not an adventurer”
"I heard from the people at the Holy Trading Company that the humans and elves get along very well, and that the golden wine and golden oysters were negotiated with them by a human woman!"
Izzy shook his head to deny Lackey's idea, and then told everyone what he saw at the Sacred Trading Company.
After a pause, Izzy continued.
"I speculate that the elves did not understand the value of this fine wine and food before, so they waited for the humans to show up before selling it with their help! Otherwise, such delicious food should have spread to the entire human race long ago."
"As for the fact that the humans can coexist peacefully with the elves, it should be related to their new queen!"
Although humans appeared in the Sacred Forest, both the Sacred Trading Company and Izzy felt that golden wine and golden oysters could only be created by the elves, and they would not attribute the inventor of these delicacies and wines to humans.
After hearing Izzy's confirmation that he was not the captured adventurer, Lachi and others were speechless. Even thousands of years ago, the relationship between humans and elves was not so harmonious.
The beauty of the elves themselves is the coveted object of many nobles.
Although the elves were very powerful at that time and black-hearted adventurers did not dare to secretly plunder the elves so unscrupulously, it still happened from time to time.
Therefore, the relationship between elves and humans has always been very tense, and there was even an incident where the elves directly destroyed a small human country.
Moreover, ever since the elves lost their queen two hundred years ago, the looting by black-hearted human adventurers has become even more rampant. The elves should hate humans even more.
"The new queen... Humans and elves help each other... This... However, maybe this really has something to do with the appearance of the new queen."
In the end, Laci could only mutter a few words and said nothing more.
As for Izzy's guess that the golden wine and golden oysters were created by the elves, Lachi agreed.
"Manager Izzy, may I ask what is the name of the new queen of the elves? And what is the name of the person who contacted the Holy Trading Company to discuss this deal?"
Just when everyone fell into a brief silence, Gervis suddenly spoke.
Gervis is now certain that the elves must have established contact with the people of Eurasia, and that some of the people in the sacred forest must have come from Eurasia.
Because not only did they have their own wine and grilled oysters, they even found their own notes on their marketing strategies and used them.
But now Gervis is not sure whether the people in the sacred forest are from the New Temple or his own people.
Now, only by knowing the name of the new queen or the identity of the person who contacted the Holy Trading Company, could he make some speculations to see who brought these things to the Holy Continent.
“
"My lord, I'm very sorry. The elves usually don't reveal the name of the queen of the elves. However, the surname of the elven royal family is Odessil. Every generation of their queens has this surname!"
"As for the person who is responsible for contacting the Holy Trading Company, we don't know his specific name!"
"I heard from the people at the Sacred Trading Company that the person they were negotiating with was a woman, and they spoke very highly of her."
"Because the waiter's introduction to the golden wine and golden oysters was offered by that woman!"
"If you want to know other information, the people at the Sacred Firm should know more!"
Steward Izzy answered Gervis' questions truthfully and in great detail.
"Odehill's last name? I definitely don't know it!"
"But this Checha is a woman? Could it be Alice?!"
Gervis was sure that he knew no one with the last name Odeshill.
However, the fact that the person who contacted the Holy Trading Company was a woman made him feel something and excited.
"It would be great if it was really Alice who came to the Holy Continent."
Gervis has been trying every possible way to make money during this period in preparation for returning to Eurasia, because he has too many things to be reluctant to leave there.
For example, Alice, Carola, Anna, Gandalf and so on.
In fact, Gervis was not very worried about earning gold coins. What he was worried about was whether he could find a route back to Eurasia.
After all, there is a lot of uncertainty in finding the Eurasian continent in the vast ocean.
But if Alice really came to this sacred continent, does it mean that other familiar people have also come?
Even if it wasn't Alice, it meant that someone knew the route to Eurasia.
"Masters and ladies, do the distinguished guests have any other questions?"
Seeing that Gervis was lost in thought, Izzy prepared to leave. As a supervisor, he naturally had a lot of things to do.
"Yeah, it's okay, Director Izzy, thank you for your answer just now!"
Now that they knew the origins of golden wine and golden oysters, they had nothing more to ask.
After all, it was obvious that Manager Izzy didn't know much, so it was pointless to ask.
