Chapter 327 Jack's Wine
"Hulu.Hulu"
It sounds like someone has fallen asleep here, and is sleeping so soundly that he is even snoring.
Generally speaking, if someone can sleep in here, it means it should be safe, right?
As people walked down, they observed the layout of the surrounding buildings. Should they say this was a basement or a kitchen? Various utensils similar to kitchen utensils were placed on the surrounding tables, but there were no ingredients. Soup was stewing in front of a blazing stove not far away.
Soup? It turned out that the aroma just now came from here, but can this smell really be called aroma?
As their eyes slowly followed the snoring sound, people saw a plump white onion on the ground!
"Onion Knight!" Malu's eyes lit up, but then she covered her mouth. She remembered that the knights of Catalina didn't seem to like the title "Onion" very much.
I should call him Jack Baldo, it seems a bit too long, so I'll just call him Jack! Malu thought so.
At this moment, Jackbaldo was sitting cross-legged and sleeping. His back looked more like an onion, and in front of him was something people dreamed of - a bonfire.
It wasn’t easy, we finally found the campfire.
Instead of waking up the Onion Knight, Leon couldn't wait to sit down by the campfire and immediately upgraded his strength.
Finally getting rid of the burden on his shoulders, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and had the leisure to observe his surroundings.
This should be the kitchen. It has a lively atmosphere. But why does the bonfire appear in the kitchen?
Because this bonfire was originally in the square when we first entered Irithyll.
However, after defeating Vonir, there is a bonfire in front of the bridge and there is another bonfire after crossing the bridge and entering Irithyll. The appearance of two bonfires in a short distance seems too abstract and seems useless.
Therefore, Gong Qiying moved the bonfire in the square to the kitchen, which can also be regarded as a connection point. After going out of the back door of the kitchen, to the east is the endless lake under the bridge, and to the west is the road leading to the underground prison of Irithyll. These two roads are the original settings of the game and do not need to be changed.
Neither of the two roads are simple maps, so it makes sense to put a bonfire here.
But...
"It's too torturous to defeat four silver knights to find this place." Leon complained.
In fact, he could also choose to jump off the bridge and explore the lake to this side, but the lake also has its own unique torture.
The waist-deep lake water brings a more powerful deceleration effect than the Fran Fortress, and it is also conductive.
Malu agreed with it, and then upgraded her agility by one level in front of the campfire, officially reaching level 60.
“Boom!”
Smoo's sledgehammer was dragged down by people and fell to the ground. The noise caused finally woke up the Onion Knight.
"Hmm. Hmm?"
He raised his head somewhat dazedly, making a sound as if he had just woken up from a dream, and met everyone's eyes.
"ah"
After seeing the appearance of Leon and the others clearly, the Onion Knight made a friendly voice.
"It's you guys. I didn't expect to meet you here again. Hahaha."
"Thanks to you for helping me find my armor, I was able to continue my journey. I, Jack Baldo of Catalina, would like to thank you once again!"
The hearty laughter accompanied by small body movements make the Onion Knight particularly likable.
His tone was as if he had seen a long-lost friend, which made the adventurers feel a little strange because they had just seen the Onion Knight in the Deep Cathedral a few days ago.
Is this the classic chaotic time in the dungeon? Leon thought to himself. He suddenly became curious. If he had not helped the Onion Knight in the Deep Church, would he still meet him here? If he did, what would he say? Would the afterimages in the two areas affect each other?
If you have time, please verify it.
"Also, this is a little gift from me, please don't refuse it."
The Onion Knight gave people a page with [Miracle: White Church Halo] recorded on it, but Leon did not touch it, but put it in his backpack to avoid accidentally learning this "magic".
【White Church Aura】
[Throws out a halo, which will return to the caster after tearing the enemy apart]
[It is said that in the past, when the gods still had a profound influence, the miracles of the White Church were often accompanied by a halo. People who miss the past firmly believe that those days will return one day.]
Maybe it can be given to Drew, after all, his offensive means are still quite lacking.
"Thank you very much." Leon thanked him sincerely, while Malu curiously asked Onion Knight why he was here and how he fell asleep.
The bonfire crackled and the natural white noise made people relax. Perhaps this is the meaning of the bonfire, a safe place to rest after a hard battle.
"I didn't expect that I would fall asleep here. Sometimes being too warm is not a good thing." The Onion Knight looked a little distressed. Suddenly, he saw the stew on the stove and said immediately:
"By the way, do you want to have a meal together? Jack Baldo's special elemental soup is just ready. It's nice for an undead to imitate others occasionally. Let's have a toast!"
"But we didn't bring any wine." Malu said regretfully.
"I have, I have." The Onion Knight patted his chest, looking quite proud. His enthusiasm was impossible to refuse.
After a while, everyone sat around the campfire, with the pot of Jack Baldo's special vegetarian soup in the middle. There was a bowl in front of each person, as well as a glass of "wine" in a small wooden barrel.
【Jack's Wine】
[A wine made by Jack Baldo of Catalina, a travel-specific product filled in a barrel cup]
[Can restore vitality and temporarily increase resistance to cold]
[Normally speaking, the undead cannot taste the deliciousness of wine. I don't know what kind of effort Jackbaldo made to achieve this. The undead have lived for too long, and sometimes they also want to be accompanied by fine wine and songs.]
It was the first time for people to drink with afterimage.
Warm campfires, hot stews, fragrant wines, and warriors who have overcome numerous difficulties to get here and get to know each other.
It's strange. We have only known each other for a short time, but we feel like old friends. Maybe it's because Onion Knight is too enthusiastic?
All in all, this feeling is not bad, and it makes people a little intoxicated.
"Boss, I suddenly feel like I've walked into a legend, like a legendary hero from ancient times." Malu said in a low voice.
Seeing the Onion Knight raise his glass, Leon also raised it high and said to Maru:
"What if we are the ones in the future?"
The Onion Knight's passionate voice rang out:
"Let's have a toast to today's reunion!"
"May your courage, my sword, and our respective missions be together"
"With the Sun!"
"cheers!"
The wooden barrels collided with the sound of toasts, and the wine splashed.
The atmosphere was so lively that even Malu, who never liked drinking, drank it all in one gulp.
“So spicy!”
The next second her little face turned red, she stuck out her tongue and hissed uncontrollably, and hot air came out of her head.
It's like drinking a mouthful of magma!
"Ha ha ha ha--"
People all laughed, and the atmosphere reached its climax. At this moment, the Onion Knight didn't look like an afterimage at all, but a living person.
Drinking is inseparable from chatting. People are telling stories of their own adventures. The Onion Knight is also talking about how he defeated the fire demon together with an ash in the undead settlement, or how he made friends with the archery giant.
"By the way, have you seen the painting in the center of the hall? That's the legendary Sunshine Princess, Gwynevere. She's a very beautiful goddess, right? It's said that she once lived in Anor Londo, but now she's nowhere to be found."
The Onion Knight couldn't tell him any more information. He just heard about it, so he changed the subject:
"I don't know if you have noticed that there is an ancient church somewhere in the west of this city. It is said that there is a Dark Moon Covenant inside, but I don't know the details. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. I heard that it is very safe there and may be able to shelter the weak."
Protect the weak? Leon immediately thought of the little boy trapped in the house.
When Malu asked the Onion Knight again why he came to Irithyll, he took a sip of wine, pondered for a while, and suddenly his tone became serious:
"Do you know that somewhere in this town, there is a prison deep underground? It is said that beneath the prison is the City of Sin. It is the hometown of the lonely giant king, Youm. I have some relationship with him. Promises are always troublesome."
Giant King Youm? I remember now, it was the Fire King. His tall and majestic figure left a deep impression on Leon.
Irithyll is truly a place of outstanding people and talents, and is actually connected to the two Lords of Cinder.
When the Onion Knight talked about the promise, he fell into deep thought. When he stopped talking, people gradually fell silent.
"Ah, sorry, the atmosphere is a bit heavy."
He immediately woke up and resumed his previous tone, saying, "Okay, I'm going to take a nap. I must do this after the celebration banquet, haha."
People were unable to react when they saw the Onion Knight falling asleep at the speed of light.
"Hello?"
Malu tried to push him, but there was no response.
"I envy his sleep quality."
Drew, who is a middle-aged man, couldn't help but sigh.
"It's okay, we can go back to bed soon."
Leon smiled and counted the harvest.
Maps of several streets in Irithyll, the request of the little boy's afterimage, and scattered monster equipment and props.
The precious rewards in the three treasure chests, the Halo of the White Church, the Soul of Dolbo, the City of Sin and the information about the Darkmoon Oath.
There was also Jack's wine. Everyone got two glasses. After drinking one glass just now, there was one left, and everyone decided to keep it as a treasure.
It's definitely not because the wine tastes too spicy, absolutely not.
By this calculation, they had gained a lot on this trip. If another team had obtained these, they would probably have to spend a month or so in debauchery before continuing to work.
"Today is a successful conclusion. There isn't much time left. Let's wait for the dungeon to close."
Leon lay down beside the bonfire, listening to the Onion Knight's snoring while looking at the gray ceiling, and suddenly thought:
"How are the other adventurers doing now? Have others entered Irithyll?"
“It seems like this area is very challenging now, but after getting through it, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. I believe others will also feel the same way.”
Yes, the fact is that there were other people who came in.
But the experience is not guaranteed.
