Chapter 187 Honey Wine Princess
Lieyu felt that she might not live long.
She woke up drunk every day and fell asleep in a daze, and she could no longer distinguish between day and night.
She had been living a life of drunkenness and dreaming for nearly half a year.
Wine tasting must be done by the winemaker himself, and no one else can do it for him.
There was no such trouble in the past.
Because the production of mead has always been very low.
To brew mead, honey needs to be diluted with water, then cooked at high temperature, and finally brewed. This series of processes requires precise control, and each step takes a lot of time and energy.
Honey has always been an expensive food, and the amount that can be used for production is also small.
Brewing mead can be said to be a delicate job, which requires both money and patience.
But since Lieyu came to the fortress, this situation has changed completely.
After drinking the mead she made, the dwarves unanimously reached a consensus: as long as she is willing to stay in the fortress to brew wine for the dwarves, then there will be enough honey and other things! And as much as she wants, the dwarves will give her.
Everything is to make better wine than this!
They even gave Lieyu a nickname, calling her [Mead Princess].
The Fire Furnace Clan passed on the story that the ancestors of the dwarves had been friends with many princesses. Those princesses were either of noble status or had experienced adventures, but they were all beautiful and charming noble ladies.
Lieyu felt that this title was completely unsuitable for her.
She was not a noble lady, but just a female hunter who had climbed mountains and caught fish in the sea since she was a child, and she was already in her thirties and no longer young.
Lieyu knew that her appearance was not outstanding. How could an adventurer who was exposed to the sun and rain maintain a fair and tender complexion?
But she didn't care about these.
She had a pair of hands covered with fine wounds, which were dexterous and powerful. She could easily climb trees, bend bows and shoot arrows, catch stones and flying birds on cliffs, and collect honey skillfully.
She had a pair of tireless legs, which could run continuously like a rabbit and accurately kick the vital points of the criminals.
She had an adventurer's face, and the dirty mud and sweat were her best battle decorations.
Lieyu was once blocked at the entrance of a cave by a group of lions, and was chased by man-eating crabs in the water. She was ambushed by adventurers and met merchants with bad intentions... She was not afraid at all.
Adventurers must learn to live with a smile.
But now, she was a little scared.
For the first time, Lieyu really felt that she might die drunk in the dwarf fortress. If she died in this way, she would be following the old path of her great-grandfather, which made her headache worse.
She rubbed her forehead with her hands and drank a large glass of water. Her head was a little hazy and her body was swaying.
"Are you okay?" A dwarf supported her.
"I'm fine... I just have a headache. Drink some honey and it will be fine."
Lieyu took one of the jars densely packed on the wall, scooped out a spoonful of honey with a spoon, put it in the water and stirred it, then raised her head and drank it.
Honey water can sober up, which is also a small discovery of the Lieyu family.
She sobered up a little and noticed that the dwarf standing in front of her had no beard. It was the female dwarf Huoshaoyun, who was also Lieyu's roommate and lived in the same room with her.
"You scared me yesterday."
The female dwarf laughed, revealing her wide gums: "I helped you back, but you were singing and dancing there, and said that you wanted to make rose wine with the roses from the Valley of Gods."
"What's the name of that song you sang?"
Huoshaoyun imitated the way she staggered and sang out of tune: "Rose Rose~ I love you~"
Lieyu's ears turned red, and she quickly reached out to stop him: "That's enough!"
Huoshaoyun asked her curiously: "Are there really huge white roses in the Valley of Gods in the East Continent? There are straits and mountains there, and there are many extraordinary creatures. The next place we, the blast furnace man, are going to is there."
"Yes."
Lieyu touched her hot ears with her hand: "Mr. Yanjiu practiced there, and repeatedly interacted with the strange power grass inside. The contest, that is a very difficult and powerful creature... I saw the white rose there. "
"It is very big, taller and more eye-catching than the surrounding pine trees, surrounded by fresh floral fragrance, it will spray thorns, beautiful and dangerous. Only the green swallowtail and the stinking swallowtail will not be attacked by it. "
Huoshaoyun listened with longing: "If you use that kind of rose to make wine, it will definitely be very fragrant, right?"
"..."
Lieyu looked helpless: "Mr. Yanjiu couldn't even get close at that time, the thorns of the white rose were too strong. If you can get the withered petals, maybe there will be a way. "
"We will find the petals, can you make rose wine?"
"If you can really get it, I think I can. "
Lieyu saw that the other party was not joking, and he also promised seriously.
"Then it's a deal!"
The two sides bumped their fists, and then spread their five fingers.
This is a custom of the Huolu clan to make a vow.
Huoshaoyun asked again: "Besides that, have you been to the [Treetop City] in the Valley of Gods?"
"I have seen it, but I didn't climb the tree."
Lieyu recalled: "The red pine trees there are toxins, and it is easy to be poisoned if you fall into them. I followed Mr. Yanjiu and saw from a distance that the pine shoes on the tree were always busy. Although they can't talk, they will exchange pine nuts with us for wheat cakes. They are a group of very friendly guys."
"Oh..."
Seeing Huoshaoyun's worried look, Lieyu realized that she might be in trouble.
"What's wrong? Is there an accident?"
"No," the female dwarf said, "It's just that a martial arts association has been established in Yancheng. The martial arts cultivators are being organized to officially enter the Valley of the Gods, saying they want to check the situation there."
Lieyu had no interest in this.
Now she only thinks about three things, brewing, brewing, brewing.
"There's one more. I almost forgot."
Huo Shaoyun took out a necklace from his armor. The chain body of the necklace is made of brass, which is very delicate, and the pendant is a white shell without any impurities.
"This is a rare and sophisticated piece of equipment!"
The female dwarf said with excitement: "Even the furnace clan needs a lot of precious materials and a lot of complicated craftsmanship and forging to make such a good thing!"
"You'll understand when you put it on."
Lieyu tried to put the necklace around his neck.
After buttoning the buckle, she felt a warm force surrounding herself, which immediately made her dizzy brain sober.
"It's incredible..." Lie Yu gently touched the necklace around his neck.
"Everyone made this specially for you. They know that you often get drunk. With it, you won't get drunk easily."
Huo Shaoyun said seriously: "This necklace is called [Mead Princess]. Its ability is [Drunk Immunity]. It uses many extraordinary materials, including the sachet of musk ladybug, the oil secreted by sandworm, and the omnipotent stone found by the fishman. ...As long as you put it on, you won't get drunk. We all failed hundreds of times to forge it successfully. It is specially made for you. "
Lieyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The dwarves were very obsessed with the title princess.
"thank you all!"
She sighed inwardly.
The Stove people are indeed passionate, and they will treat their friends sincerely and without reservation.
Lieyu secretly made up his mind to brew the best mead to repay these dwarf friends.
Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "Everyone, come out and see, there is a new sun! Hey, this time the sun is blue!"
Lieyu and Huoshaoyun walked out of the fortress.
She looked up.
A blue sun slowly rose in the sky, emitting a faint light like the sea, far away from another golden sun.
The dwarves all looked up at the two suns in the sky, and they were all amazed.
The other two members of [Blast Furnace Stranger] were also present.
Gao Youzhuang crossed his arms and said, "I wonder if this new sun will be expelled by the gods... I hope it understands something. Otherwise, it will be the fate of the dark sun."
"No, no, look carefully."
The man next to him Wei Ermeng said: "Agao, feel it with your heart. This blue sun has the power of Lord Yao... Do you feel it?"
"It's true... it turns out that the sun was created by Yao Shen."
"Hey, don't be distracted. Look carefully at the sun and you can make a wish...it's called the [Wish Star]."
"It's a gift from the gods! Come on, everyone, make a wish!"
Just by looking up at the blue sun, everyone can immediately understand that this round of blue sun carries incredible divine power. It is listening to the voice of every believer of Yao God. If you pray to it and make an oath, you will get the god's attention.
Lieyu touched the [Mead Princess] on his neck.
She crossed her index fingers, looked at the wishing star, and prayed silently in her heart.
Omnipotent Yao, please let me try out the best recipe for mead as soon as possible...
