Chapter 63 Wine
I don’t know how long it has been...
The night sky after the heavy rain is as clear as water, the ocean tides play beautiful music, and the waves sparkle under the moonlight.
Xi Ziyue opened her eyes and saw the mirror-like night sky.
She didn't sleep, she just closed her eyes and took a nap to let the burning dragon's blood slowly cool down. Her golden pupils gradually turned black, reflecting the starry sky inside.
The post-war tranquility surrounded Bride Island. The girls hugged each other in twos and threes and fell asleep soundly in the shelter. The water slid down the eaves and made a tinkling sound. The air was filled with the fresh and salty smell after the rain.
, the little fish jumped in the puddle.
After getting up, Xi Ziyue walked slowly through the familiar campus, and after experiencing the storm that blocked the altar, the place turned out to be as beautiful as a ruin. The branches in the atrium were broken, the garden seemed to have been plowed, and the plaster statue of an angel appeared.
Fell into standing water.
It's also quite flavorful.
As she walked through the hall of the main teaching building, she looked up at the time and realized that it was only half past nine. In an ordinary big city, it was just the beginning of nightlife.
The storm only lasted for an hour. So many things happened in this hour that it seemed like a whole night.
Xi Ziyue always has a feeling that the sun is about to rise, and she has to find a higher place to watch the sunrise over the sea.
She moved on.
Soon after, she arrived at the wine cellar where she had been caught secretly eating pig knuckles, a story that followed her to Kassel.
She opened the door and walked into the underground wine cellar, lighting the candlestick placed in the groove of the stone wall. The dim light illuminated this medieval-style space, giving it a very quiet atmosphere.
The wine cellar of Golden Iris College has a very impressive collection, including countless famous wines of the century. Many red wine collectors are jealous when they come to this wine cellar. It can be called a famous wine museum.
Arriving at the deepest part of the wine cellar, I used the flashlight of my mobile phone to illuminate the corner. I saw an upright wine barrel standing there, as if it had been moved not long ago.
Xi Ziyue walked over and opened the lid of the wine barrel. Winnies, who was already asleep and unconscious, was soaking in the red wine. Only her little head was exposed. Her cheeks were rosy...perhaps she was drunk.
Ten minutes ago, Xi Ziyue was busy hiding Winnis, but she didn't know where to hide it. She simply clicked on the dragon information folder on her phone to see if there were any instructions, and found that there was indeed one.
There is an inconspicuous tip that says that rich and mellow wine can block Deadpool's perception, and it is speculated that it may also have a certain effect on dragons.
Although the description was short and ambiguous, Xi Ziyue had no choice but to follow the instructions. She didn't know what rich and mellow wine was, so she could just put Winis into the expensive wine.
To be on the safe side, she shattered all the Frigga bullets and let the red mist pour on the wine barrel. The scene was like a magic circle of black witchcraft.
This inspiration comes from her childhood shadow "Miller's Hill House". In the last puzzle level of the first level, the player has to hide in an empty wine barrel with a blood-stained hexagram in order to avoid the pursuit of monsters.
Xi Ziyue lifted Winnis up from the drink and placed it on the table. Looking at her sleeping like a piglet, she felt safe that everything was over.
Therefore, she still didn't understand how this child got involved with the dragon clan and what his special bloodline was.
The rest can only be left to the aftermath department. She only needs to know that she saved the island tonight.
After resting for a while, Xi Ziyue suddenly felt hungry.
She walked to the kitchen connected to the wine cellar with ease, took out the Spanish ham and cheese from the closet, opened the refrigerator, and found that there were actually pork knuckles inside.
Without thinking, she dragged them all over. Now she is the hero of the island and can eat whatever she wants. Even if she is now full of animality and wants to get a few girls to play with, it must be reasonable.
"I suggest you take away the bottle of TBA ice wine produced by Egon Miller Winery in 1976 in the corner of the cabinet on the left. It is the emperor of ice wine, with an average annual production of no more than 300 bottles. Use it as a victory.
The wine is perfect.”
This familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Xi Ziyue, like a faint voice-over, with an all-seeing charm.
Xi Ziyue frowned and sighed, turning her head away.
Lu Mingze was sitting at his seat with a glass of red wine, as if he were a distinguished guest.
Xi Ziyue kneaded Tianying point and shook her head: "You...can even appear here?"
"Wherever Lu Mingfei has left his footprints, I may appear." Lu Mingze spat at the red wine and looked at Xi Ziyue with a smile.
"Lu Mingfei, has he even been here?" Xi Ziyue was surprised.
"Look over there, the show has started again." Lu Mingze pressed his chin and pointed to the corner.
There, Lu Mingfei's figure appeared again.
Under the dim candlelight, he and Chen Motong...yes, this person appeared again.
Lu Mingfei and Chen Motong sat on the floor, silently drinking a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite and a bottle of 90-year-old Patrus, gnawing on Spanish ham...a strong Northeastern night market smell,
The two big men found a late-night snack stall and sat down to drink away their sorrows. They drank the precious red wine and had a sense of déjà vu.
Compared with the previous profiles, Lu Mingfei's style has changed a bit. He is wearing a high-end brand's dark pattern suit and windbreaker, his leather shoes are also custom-made, and his hairstyle has become more handsome. He looks very strong.
Unfortunately, I couldn't hear what these two people were saying, it was like a scene with the audio cut out.
Lu Mingfei's face was still shrouded in halo.
"So that's it." Lu Mingze looked at the two people in the corner, thoughtfully, and seemed to have remembered something.
"When did this happen?" Xi Ziyue asked.
"February 2012 happened to be what happened last year." After a brief trance, Lu Mingze regained his composure, "That piece of useless wood encountered some difficult problems and needed help from Chen Motong. He
The reason why he was dressed so smartly was because he was already the president of the student union at the time. The elders of the student union chopped off his appearance and remodeled it, and spent a lot of money to help him create a new outfit... Wow, that's it!
It’s a golden battle armor worn by a defeated dog, what a waste.”
"President of the Student Union?" Xi Ziyue caught the key word.
In other words, the position of chairman that was supposed to be Lu Mingfei suddenly went to Ling.
No wonder Zero herself said that she got into this position inexplicably, because according to the normal world line, she has no chance of having this title at all.
"Then what problem does he have and wants to find Chen Motong?" Xi Ziyue asked.
"I can't remember just this picture, but I can roughly guess why this problem can only be solved by Chen Motong." Lu Mingze smiled slightly, seeming to be hinting at something.
"Profiling..." Xi Ziyue whispered the answer.
"The answer is correct." Lu Mingze snapped his fingers.
Xi Ziyue vaguely found some key clues.
Just like Elizabeth came to this island to find her, hoping that she would use profiling to find Lu Mingfei, then when Lu Mingfei came to find Chen Motong, did she also hope to use profiling to find someone who "disappeared"?
That being the case, would the reason why Lu Mingfei disappeared be the same as the reason why that person disappeared?
After carrying out this long-term task for more than a month, she finally made some substantial progress.
Although she didn't know where Lu Mingfei went in the end, she vaguely knew the reason why he disappeared. As long as she figured out the reason, she would be close to finally finding him.
After thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and took down the bottle of Ice Wine Emperor that Lu Mingze mentioned, and took out a bottle of 1997 Margao, sat down on the long table, and immediately started eating, her cheeks shaking.
Drum, drum.
"With such a major clue development, shouldn't you show more feelings? For example, trembling, excitement, or even fear. Lu Mingfei is like a huge onion, an indescribable monster like Cthulhu, peeled off
There are layers upon layers, and the deeper you go, the more scared you become, not knowing what is hidden in the depths of the mystery." Lu Mingze expressed interest in Xi Ziyue's calm reaction.
"I'm very tired now, so I don't want to think too much." Xi Ziyue chewed the Spanish ham gently, used a corkscrew to pry open the patus, and drank without bothering to sober up.
Lu Mingze helplessly shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. Once the person decided to lie down, Cthulhu would not be able to scare her, and his body would not move at all.
Soon, this profile scene ended, Lu Mingfei and Chen Motong in the corner gradually disappeared, and there was nothing there in reality.
Just as he was about to continue moving the fork, Xi Ziyue's cell phone rang, making a rapid ringtone.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the altar blockade had been lifted and the signal could be received. She should immediately report to the organization to ensure her safety.
I took out my phone and saw that it was indeed Elizabeth.
"Hello." Xi Ziyue said in a normal tone.
"Great, since you still have the strength to answer the phone, it means everything is safe over there, right?"
"It's basically safe, but... the island is a bit badly damaged, and the school may not be able to continue operating."
"That's all trivial. If it doesn't work, just change it to another place." Elizabeth said, "How is the effect of the weapon I gave you?"
"Very... very impressive." Xi Ziyue could only give such a dry evaluation.
Looking back now, every scene that happened more than ten minutes ago seemed like a miracle. One high-level word spirit was released one after another, the burning blood, Lotus and Aoi were thrown into the battlefield one after another. Finally, the trial beyond the limit ended everything. Such an epic
Even if Angers saw the scene, he would have to smoke some cigars and drink some Dahongpao to calm down before he could organize the words to express it.
"Are you...how are you now? I mean physically. The trial must be very taxing on your body." Elizabeth said worriedly.
It took Xi Ziyue a few seconds to understand the other party's concerns.
She took off her high heels and stockings, turned her legs over and over, and looked at them.
The scales dissipated at some point, revealing white and smooth skin.
"It's okay now. I'm a normal human being now." Xi Ziyue said with a little smile.
For a moment, she was quite worried that these things would remain attached to her body and she would not be able to take them off.
"That would be even better. According to past cases, the higher-level speech spirits are, the more dangerous they are. Except for a few weirdos like 98 Lucky, using these high-level speech spirits will bring a burden to the bloodline." Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief.
.
"Then what should I do next? Will someone come to take me back?" Xi Ziyue asked.
"I'm on my way here by plane. Do you want me to arrange a medical team for you?"
Xi Ziyue thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Can you please let me be alone for a while? I don't know why, but I really want to be alone for a while."
"No problem, my team will be waiting for you on the main island of Malta. Helicopters and speedboats will be ready for you at any time. I will also notify the academy that the Laurent family has laid a trap in advance and successfully killed the next generation Dragon King.
Kill." Elizabeth said.
"Hey, is this considered taking credit?" Xi Ziyue said easily.
Elizabeth answered cheerfully: "You have to think about it this way. During World War II, an outstanding agent would not reveal his identity until several years after the war. Until the situation is completely stable, the legends about them will be gradually decrypted."
Elizabeth added: "Not only outstanding agents, but also many ordinary people, have to live a life of anonymity until the end of the war, but the honor and medals are never absent, but the day when they are awarded has not arrived."
"In other words, as long as I am alive, your glory will always be proven by Duanshui's sword, Sirius's sniper, and the judgment battle..."
"It's just a joke, there's no need to be so serious..." Xi Ziyue was relaxed and helpless.
In fact, even if Elizabeth takes all the credit, Xi Ziyue won't mind too much. Anyway, the other party will use various methods to get the credit back, such as scenic sea view villas, such as a two-hundred-foot-long cruise ship, such as paradise
Star... bah.
"So you have decided to be alone and enjoy the afterglow of victory?" Elizabeth said.
"Yes, there are a lot of famous wines in the wine cellar here, just for passing the time, and there are also pork knuckles... Forget it, this is optional."
At this time, Xi Ziyue's eyes suddenly fell on Lu Mingze across the dining table. His duration was unexpectedly long this time and he hadn't disappeared yet.
Lu Mingze continued to smile at Xi Ziyue and tilted his head. He was obviously trying to be cute, but unexpectedly he was very cute.
"There is another friend." Xi Ziyue said.
Speaking of which, magical pets are also good friends of magical girls, right?
"Remember to ask that friend to receive psychological counseling when the time comes." Elizabeth was very open-minded, thinking that Xi Ziyue was just an ordinary best friend at Golden Iris Academy.
"Of course."
"Then I wish you a good time. No one will disturb you throughout the rest of the night. I will give you the detailed mission report tomorrow... By the way, how long will this trial last for you?
asked Elizabeth.
Xi Ziyue almost forgot about this. After getting Yan Ling, she just focused on killing the dragon and didn't pay attention to the duration.
She concentrated on the profiling and her thoughts sank into another world.
On the vast ice field, crystal-like giant trees tower into the sky. The ethereal and clear vines and branches interweave the mystery of the temple, and the magnificent ice edges are like fruits.
This is the dragon symbolizing judgment, a gorgeous ice tree that looks like an Antarctic throne.
Soon, Xi Ziyue gained insight into the duration of this speaking spirit.
She was stunned.
Chapter completed!
