Chapter 44 Guidance



More importantly, according to the analysis of various clues, Du Yuqi felt that the location of the Light Flame Sword·Scorching Sun Judgment was most likely in the area of ​​Liku Tianjing, which was the lair of the Bantu tribe. Even if he had a powerful token, he had to go there to take the risk and investigate. In that harsh natural environment, his combat effectiveness would inevitably be greatly reduced, while the Bantu tribe was waiting for him to tire himself out. Just thinking about this situation made him shudder...

As for helping in the duel, Feng Lin had already asked about all the details before Du Yuqi even started. If Du Yuqi agreed, the Holy Temple would use its connections with the GBL Church and ask the chief priest to cast an illusion on Du Yuqi, disguising him as the candidate. This illusion was a very powerful mixed spell that even Sharan was impressed by, and it was almost impossible to be detected.

So, under this circumstance, Du Yuqi readily agreed to Pope Milo's request. Of course, he also put forward a condition, which was that after he handed over the Light Flame Earrings, the Holy Temple would ask Xilan to teach him. His improved strength would also help him win the subsequent duel in the Iron Wolf Organization.

Pope Miro agreed to Du Yuqi's terms after a little hesitation. After all, he was confident that Du Yuqi would not dare to default on his promise, and the two sides finally reached a situation that everyone was happy with. Pope Miro was very busy. He came here to discuss the basic terms with Du Yuqi and then returned immediately. Bishop Mia was left to discuss the specific details. By the time of afternoon tea, the details were basically finalized.

The next day, Du Yuqi followed the people from the Holy Temple out of the city. The purpose of their trip was the Alvin Line of Defense.

Although it is named after the defense line, it is actually a large town. It was originally built to defend against invasions from outside the Gran Forest. Long ago, when the elves were still living on the continent of Arad, they used their wisdom to cleverly hollow out the bottom of the hollow trees in the forest and transformed them into wooden houses that could shelter from the rain. As the relationship between elves and humans became more and more harmonious, this place gradually developed into a cozy town. Although a series of events later caused the elves to leave, the style here also tends to be elven.

Why go to the Elvin Line? Because the mysterious man who made a deal with the Holy Temple was at the Elvin Line. Du Yuqi had to meet him first and imitate his behavior. After getting familiar with his habits, the chief priest of the GBL Church would come here to perform the illusion for Du Yuqi, and then go to Huttonmar to participate in the duel. At the same time, because of the tight time, Xilan would also disguise himself and go along the way, and teach Du Yuqi.

After Du Yuqi boarded the Magadha, the exclusive vehicle of the Holy Temple, he met Xilan again. The legendary warrior was sitting on his seat, gazing out the window in a daze with his hand on his chin, next to him was the wine gourd that he never left. The waistcoat he wore was dark red, and he was wearing loose, gorgeous gray pants.

Perhaps hearing Du Yuqi's footsteps, Xi Lan turned around, and then his eyes lit up and he said:

"Ah? You're here?"

There was nothing wrong with what Xilan said, but his voice was surprisingly loud, as if he was shouting. Du Yuqi was startled for a moment, but then he remembered something. It was rumored that Xilan had an old ear injury and his hearing was weakened, so he habitually spoke in a very loud voice.

Therefore, Du Yuqi smiled and shouted at the same volume:

"Well, Lord Xilan, please give me your guidance in the next few days!!"

Xilan laughed and said:

"To be honest, I'm also interested in monsters like you, a pervert who has both Kahn's power and Sodros's skills! You're worth studying!"

“…”

When Du Yuqi heard Xilan's words, he knew that his previous worries were unnecessary. After all, he was born on Earth, and he brought some of the subtle values ​​of Earth into the world of Arad.

Although Sharan's disciple Ami died at her hands and was killed in front of Xilan, there was no grudge between the two sides before. It was a fair duel, so neither Sharan nor Xilan had any hatred towards Du Yuqi - to put it simply, it was like the families of people killed by artillery shells in a war, they would not hate the people who fired the artillery shells. There was no personal grudge between the two sides. It was either you kill me or I kill you. It was just a life-and-death struggle because of the war.

So strictly speaking, the Holy Hall accidentally took advantage of the transaction this time. Since Xilan said so, as long as he kept calm, this guy might come to him! Xilan's last sentence made Du Yuqi's heart tremble. The adjective "research value" is often added to the little white mouse...

The two chatted for a while and then Magadha was ready to take off. It was almost noon at this time, and the service staff of the temple began to come over to set out wine, food and delicacies. It can be seen that the temple attaches great importance to the two of them. The first dish served was fried black beans, which was crispy, and there was a plate of bamboo shoots mixed with sesame oil. Next was steamed catfish, snow-white tofu braised in sauce, beef hoof stewed in garlic, bird eggs stewed in citrus pot, and finally the staple food was a choice between snow-white rice and small star-shaped wontons.

These dishes are all in the Xu Zu style, probably to cater to the taste of Xilan, who was born in Xu Zu. In addition, two pots of wine were served. The wine pots were shaped like dragon scales, and the spouts were shaped like dragon mouths. When pouring the wine, you can see the wine flowing out of the dragon mouth, which is very unique.

Xilan was really interested in drinks. As soon as he sat down at the table, he drank three cups in a row, exclaiming that it was very enjoyable. Then, with a look of disgust on his face, he poured out the wine in the jug he carried with him. Du Yuqi found that he was just as the information he had collected said, that he looked cold and taciturn on the outside, but was actually talkative, humorous and outspoken.

Du Yuqi saw this scene. He was also well prepared. After picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, he said in surprise:

"Master Xilan, please forgive me for being blunt, but how can such low-quality barley wine and rice wine be praised by you?"

Xilan heard Du Yuqi's words and said disdainfully:

"This is Xu Zu's famous Dragon Roar Dew and Flower Wine. The taste is very strong and long-lasting. How dare you say it's crude? Do you know how to drink?"

Du Yuqi sighed and said:

"Wine like this is only fit for horses in our country."

Xi Lan said angrily:

"What are you talking about? You can insult people, but you can't insult the fine wine of my hometown!"

Du Yuqi sneered:

"Please don't insult the word 'fine wine', Lord Xilan! Your eyesight in swordsmanship can be said to be outstanding, but when it comes to identifying fine wine, I think you are even worse than the coelophysis of the Sky Sea..."

As Du Yuqi spoke, he pulled out a bottle of wine from his dimensional ring and poured a small amount of it into the bowl in front of him. The wine immediately took on a clear green color, and looked like a piece of pure and flawless green crystal jelly, rippling slightly in the bowl.

Xilan was about to speak when he suddenly smelled a strong aroma of wine. He couldn't help but move his Adam's apple up and down. Du Yuqi laughed in his heart when he saw this. The Longyinlu and Huaniang that Xilan mentioned before were essentially similar to Japanese sake, with a maximum alcohol content of less than 20 degrees.

The bottle of Xinghua Village Bamboo Leaf Green Wine that he took out, although not particularly expensive, was also an authentic fine wine, with an alcohol content of 38 degrees. In terms of appearance and aroma alone, it was far better than the famous wine that Xilan mentioned.

Du Yuqi picked up the Bamboo Leaf Green in the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He exhaled a breath of alcohol and nodded with satisfaction.

"This is what we call fine wine!"

"...Ah, hey, Master Xilan, what are you doing? Let go of the bottle quickly. If you have anything to say, come to me. If you blow into the bottle like this, a lot of wine will spill on your clothes, Master!"

“…”

A moment later, Xilan was lying on the table, snoring loudly, reeking of alcohol, and muttering things like "good wine...really good" from time to time.

However, Xilan was a legendary warrior after all, and he would wake up in half an hour at most after getting drunk, and then he would simply ask Du Yuqi for wine, and he would always find many excuses such as respecting teachers, etc. Du Yuqi would always find all kinds of fine wine for him to enjoy, and indulge in drunkenness.
