Chapter 318

Episode 318 Why Does Alcohol Taste Like This?

The knights got the appraisal wine safely.

They entered the upper Jace building with light steps.

Jace, who had been waiting anxiously for a week left, saw the articles and came running in a month.

“What about alcohol? Did you get the appraisal note?”

“I brought it. This is emotional stock.”

When one of the knights handed out a bottle of alcohol, he quickly grabbed it, not wanting to miss it.

“This is the appraiser of the rumor...”

His eyes naturally become colored with greed.

Would you like to taste just one cup?

It might be poisonous, isn’t it?

As he tries to open the sealed stopper.

The knights hurriedly stopped him.

“You must not break the seal!”

“Just... I’ll try just one drink.”

Despite his begging, the knights shook their heads resolutely.

“The brewer said that the scent that gives emotion is an important alcohol. When the seal is opened, the fragrance is blown away, so it is said that it is difficult to get even a part of the original taste.”

do the work

If you smell the scent that leaks out of the stopper, it seems that it will give you a touching taste enough to work.

The scent of the wine was enchanting.

It is not worth exchanging one’s life for.

I could have secretly drank and run away from my throat.

Jace put the bottle away, struggling to resist the urge.

“Oops. It’s a pity, a pity.”

In the meantime, I had a lot of desire to drink as much as I struggled to obtain emotional wine.

Emotional wine not only smelled, but even the bottle looked unusual.

Just looking at the wine bottle with the brook flowing proudly by myself makes me feel sad.

What about the stopper?

There were patterns engraved here and there that must have been made by a craftsman who has worked only with wood for a lifetime.

Originally, it was a bottle of alcohol that was sold for a coin in the market, but once I started to fantasize, there was no end.

If Ray had seen Jace’s regretful expression, he would surely have smiled sinisterly.

He waved his hand at the knights.

“...Put it in a wooden box and keep it safe. It is something that has a place to use.”

“All right.”

As the knights nodded and left, Jace, who was left alone in the office, muttered.

“...How did you get it? Give me an emotion... I’ve only heard rumors, but when I smelled it myself, it’s a really great scent. I need to polish the old man and make another one.”

He vowed that he would definitely try the emotional wine next time.

* * *

Jace sent a signal a few days after getting the emotional wine.

Then, as before, they recognized the signal and appeared.

He was still wearing a deeply pressed robe.

Jace greeted him with a bow.

“welcome. I thought I was dying from waiting hahaha.”

He was quite excited, perhaps because he thought he had completed the order.

Did you say you can’t spit on a smiling face?

The little man grunted coldly.

“...if you want, can you really slit my throat?”

Jace immediately lowered his tail at the cold response.

“I’m sorry.”

“It became a silly joke. Try it first.”

“yes. It has completely withdrawn from the transactions it has maintained its monopoly on. Thanks to that, it seems that there has been quite a bit of confusion in the Sanghoe.”

“I guess so. You’ll have to keep an eye on it for a while, since you’ve gained some delicious benefits overnight.”

The men put on a satisfied expression for some reason.

Jace plucked up his courage and spoke cautiously.

“We even competed to have exclusive trading rights with each other. I think this is enough to achieve the goal, but...”

We look at each other with shaking eyes.

“Water... water. This isn’t emotional wine, it’s just water.”

“We were tricked by him! How dare you lie!”

The man who had been sitting still in a chair dusted himself off and got up.

The dark mana that was dormant in the mana rod swirls around it.

“I almost gave him something like this... I would have been in trouble if I hadn’t tried it. How are you going to repay this humiliation?”

The two men immediately put their heads on the floor.

In an instant, the floor thumped.

“I have no face! I deserve to apologize for my mistakes, but please have mercy and give me a chance to restore my honor!”

“I will definitely not disappoint you this time!”

thud-! thud-!

Even though blood was pouring from their foreheads, they did not stop.

The man quietly looked down at them and captured the mana that was spurting out violently.

“...it’s old. If it fails this time, there will be no second time.”

“I will keep that in mind!”

“Thank you, O Lord, for your mercy!”

Koo-!

When I hit my forehead with the answer, the hard floor cracked.

Their eyes were bloodshot red.

They didn’t even dare to say that it was disrespect, and a murderous spirit directed at Jace gushed out from their bodies.

* * *

Ray, who was loafing around in Old Kerven’s house, muttered while looking out the window.

“Now it’s about time to get a bite...”

He used an absurd scam to create a rift between Jace and the forces behind him.

The rear will think that he has been tricked by Jace and will kick him out in the past.

In that case, all that was left was for the enraged Jace to visit Kerven.

At first, Ray, who was going to wait leisurely, became puzzled after a little more than three days.

It’s because there was no news for the time left to visit.

In this amount of time, it wouldn’t be strange if Jace, who would have grown angry, came with 10 knights, but no news?

“...Couldn’t this have been revenge?”

Concerned about Jace’s life or death, Ray jumped up from his seat.

It won’t end if I just wait like this.

I guess I’ll have to go and see for myself.

When he went to Jace’s guild, the guild leader had changed to a different one before he knew it.

Ray grabbed one of the soldiers standing on the line and asked.

“hey. Let me ask you a question.”

The soldier, who had been observing his whereabouts, answered.

“I am busy. Go ask somewhere else.”

Even if you look at it, it looks like there is nothing to do except stand, but where on earth is it busy?

When the soldier tried to throw his hand away, Ray gave him strength.

The soldier gasped for breath at the pressure as if he had been crushed by a rock.

“Leave this! I will call the soldiers!”

“Oh, I’m asking for a moment. Why would you do this to good people?”

He naturally led the soldier down an isolated alleyway.

Even if he wanted to shout, the soldier could not scream because he suppressed his voice by using his tongue.

Eventually, the soldier who was forcibly dragged into the alley looked at him with fearful eyes.

“What do you want? I have no money on hand.”

Ray showed the most unfair expression in the world.

“Who wants money? I feel like I became a bad person after all because I refused to talk like that from the beginning.”

the bad guy is right

Even the vicious pimp of the back alley does not easily drag someone who dislikes it into an alleyway and forces him to answer.

The soldier wanted to protest something, but he did not immediately bring the thought out of his mouth.

He wasn’t stupid enough to say nonsense when his life could be in danger.

The tone of the soldier who ignored the dirty outfit naturally became polite.

“Ask me anything. I like to talk.”
