Release that Witch - Chapter 211
[Chapter 210]
“Soap?” She picked up a piece and put it up to her nose and sniffed it. She could indeed smell the scent of roses.
〕>〕〕
“Yes, it’s hard to imagine that it was a sticky paste before making it. In order to make it full of fragrance, His Highness even added perfume to it.”
Mei subconsciously Looking at the price on the paper, the price of twenty-five silver wolves per piece is considered a luxury, but compared to the more expensive perfume, the price is obviously too low, “Are you sure you added Perfume? When I was performing in the capital, a nobleman once gave me three bottles of perfume. Each bottle of perfume was only the size of a thumb, but the price was more than five gold dragons. For such a large piece of soap, at least half a bottle should be added, right? ”
“Really?” Carter was stunned, “Perfume is so expensive?”
“Of course,” Mei Yi rolled his eyes at him, “That is one of the most proud products of the Alchemy Association in the Royal Capital. Apart from crystal glass, it belongs to perfume.” It is the best seller. I heard that, except for those who paid tribute to the royal family, there are only nearly a thousand bottles of perfume that can flow into the market every year. Those who can afford such things are upper-class nobles and wealthy businessmen. If it wasn’t given by someone, I would never buy a bottle of perfume with the rewards of several plays.”
“But I see that His Highness didn’t use any rare materials when making perfume… Hearing what he said, it seems to be made of sugar cane Seeing May’s puzzled look, Carter added, “Sugar cane is a sweet stick, a crop from the fjords, which looks like a stick and tastes like sweet water when bitten. Currently, only the backyard of the castle is planted. Next time, I’ll ask His Highness to see if I can bring one out.”
It’s His Royal Highness again… After May came to the town, Roland Wimbledon was the name she heard the most.
Whether it was Irene or Carter, he was always mentioned when talking about the changes in the town.
It seems that His Highness knows everything, and all these novel things are created by him.
Is there really such a knowledgeable person in the world?
She is skeptical that it takes time to learn new knowledge, no matter how smart a person is.
Whether it is the capital or the Longsong Fortress, the recognized polymaths are old men with white hair.
There is even a saying among the folks in the West: The longer the beard, the wider the knowledge.
The prince himself is only in his twenties, how could he know so many things?
Thinking of this in her heart, Mei Yi’s expression remained normal, “No need, if it can be used to make perfume, it must be a very rare crop. Especially the perfume formula, which can be sold for sky-high prices in any alchemy workshop, you must not ask Your Highness inquires, and even if you see it, never tell it.”
“Okay,” Carter replied, took out a handkerchief, and wrapped four pieces of soap in it.
“Do you want to buy so much?”
“One person is limited to two yuan at most. We will pretend to buy them separately and give them to you after we go out—don’t disagree,” the knight reached out to stop May from saying, “I can do it when I run out. Apply to His Highness, but if this place is sold out, I don’t know when new products will be available. You can use these four yuan for a long time.”
Mei Yi looked at the other party’s serious eyes, and felt as if something was burning her heart. for a moment.
It will take a long time… huh? She pursed her lips and kept silent, watching the knight wrap the soap in silence.
“Now that we’re here, let’s look at other products,” he said with a smile, picking up the cloth bag.
…
Back to their “home” in Border Town, the window was already dim.
The sunset light penetrated through the window, dyeing the furnishings in the house a touch of orange red.
Since staying here for the follow-up drama, May has also been given a set of rooms like Erin’s.
Although it is not big, it has all internal organs.
She placed on the table one by one the novelties she bought from the convenience store. In addition to four bars of soap, there was also a bottle of wine.
This bottle of wine is different from the common ale and wine in taverns. It has almost no color, and is so pure and transparent that it is no different from water.
I remember that in the product introduction, it says that this is called liquor, which has a high concentration, so it is not suitable to drink too much.
Baijiu, she smiled, the name is really appropriate from the outside.
Pulling out the wooden cork, May poured herself a glass.
Lifting the cup, a pungent smell hit her face, making her frown.
But after the smell passed, a wisp of wine wafted into her nostrils, sweet and mellow, not like the smell of low-quality watered wine in taverns.
Because acting requires full concentration and high concentration, she seldom goes to pubs. Only after the success of the play, the theater collectively celebrates her with a drink or two.
That feeling of drunkenness is not bad, but after witnessing the behavior of many actors drunk, she has always controlled her drinking to a range that does not affect her thinking.
However, May now has a strong urge to get drunk, otherwise she would not have bought this valuable bottle of liquor under Carter’s dissuasion – I heard from other actors that after getting drunk, you can block Distracting thoughts and worries, seeing the real answer in her heart, she wanted to give it a try.
Mei Yi closed her eyes, raised her head and poured the wine in the glass into her mouth. Suddenly, a hot feeling exploded in her throat, and the unswallowed wine sprayed out directly. The violent cough made her choke out tears. .
Heck, is this stuff really booze?
When the burning sensation completely subsided, she bit her lip and tried again—this time, she only dared to swallow it in small mouthfuls, but after the hotness, it was rich and mellow, and the two flavors were mixed together, which was hard to say how delicious it was , but brought her a strange feeling.
After only a quarter of an hour, Mei felt a sense of dizziness welling up in her heart.
She took out a fist-sized iron box from her pocket, opened the lid, and saw a bright mirror inside facing herself.
This mirror is different from the previous bronze or silver mirrors. Its surface is smooth and unmarked, and the scene reflected is extremely clear, so it must be very valuable.
Through the mirror, May could see her flushed cheeks and bewildered eyes.
This was a gift given to her by Xi Qiqi at the time of parting. She wanted to refuse, but the other party turned around and left without giving her a chance to push it back.
As he walked away quickly, he turned his head and waved goodbye to her.
Seriously speaking, when Carter Lannis doesn’t speak, his appearance can definitely be regarded as the impeccable type, but if he is not chatty, it is unlikely that he will be retained.
So, are you going to put down roots here?
Far away from the bustling city, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com came to this remote town to start again, and only a few crew members knew her identity… Fear of the unknown made it difficult for her to make up her mind.
May spread out the letters that had been on the table for a few days—it was delivered to her by His Royal Highness the Prince through Irene, and the letter was written by the fortress’ manager, Pei Luo.
From the letter, she learned that the Fortress Theater announced that she was missing, and that Pedro himself hoped that she would return to the Fortress to continue performing.
His Royal Highness did not hide the news, he gave himself the right to choose.
May drank the rest of the wine in the glass, and her vision gradually became hazy.
She staggered to the desk, spread out a piece of paper, and began to write a reply.
In the overlapping and surging thoughts, she successively saw the Fortress Theater, Irene, Flynn Hilt, and the cheering town square and those third-rate actors who couldn’t control their excitement… Finally, these slowly Fading away, only the image of Carter Lannis grinning and inviting her remained in his mind.
“Hello, Miss May, can I buy you a drink?”
