Release that Witch - Chapter 261
[Chapter 260 Soap and Wine]
As the sun set, the sweltering heat wave began to subside, and Xia Chan, who had been singing for a day, also gradually subsided.
?? ?? ? ? Liewen ??? ?????? But compared to Sleeping Island, which is surrounded by the sea, the castle still looks a bit stuffy.
Evelyn, who was covered in sweat, walked up to the second floor and pushed open the bedroom door, and a chill suddenly enveloped her.
“Today’s test was hard,” a mature and capable woman in black said with a smile. “How is it? Is it going well?”
Her name is Shujuan, she is the oldest witch in the mutual aid association, and she is also very kind. senior.
After just getting along for a day, she already felt the care and concern of the other party.
“I… don’t know,” Evelyn replied with some frustration, “Everyone else used their abilities. When it was my turn, His Highness only asked me a few questions before letting me go down. Could it be… he Think I’m useless?”
Scroll pressed a glass of ice water, “There are no abilities that are useless, only abilities that have not yet been developed. This is what His Royal Highness Roland often tells us, so you don’t have to worry about this.”
“But… “She took the cup, hesitated to speak.
“Worried about being left out because of being useless?” Scroll couldn’t help laughing, “It would be possible if it was the former mutual aid association, but in Border Town, His Highness never treated any witch differently, as the hummingbird can attest. The
girl who was digging her head into the closet looking for clothes raised her head, “That’s right, like me, Mysterious Moon, Lily, and Miss Nana have nothing to do recently, Your Highness still has nothing to do. Encourage us to play gwent to relieve boredom.”
“Relieve boredom?” Evelyn’s eyes widened.
“Well, it’s unbelievable, right? Work hard when you have something to do, and play happily when you have nothing to do, that’s what he said,” Hummingbird paused, “But I think His Highness is still a little partial, and he is obviously better for Anna. ”
“That’s the first witch he’s ever known, so naturally his feelings are much deeper,” Scroll rapped her on the head, “Clean up your clothes quickly, and there won’t be much running water later.” Then she looked at Eve Lin, “You come with us too.”
“Where are you going?” the latter asked in a daze.
“Shower,” Shujuan smiled, “In Ji Xia, there is nothing more pleasant than standing under the shower to take a shower.”
When Evelyn followed the two into the bathroom, she couldn’t help calling out in surprise. sound.
She seemed to have walked into a vast grassland, with the sea of clouds and mountains in front of her. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window and reflected on the wall, dyeing the clouds golden.
“This is—”
“Soraya’s masterpiece,” Shujuan said with a smile, “This is not a traditional decorative painting, you will know when you take off your shoes.”
Evelyn carefully put the wooden sandals into the shoe cabinet at the door When he stepped on the “prairie” barefoot, he immediately understood what the other party meant.
The delicate touch of the soles of the feet is like dense green grass, and the tip of the grass contains full water droplets, as if it has just rained heavily.
Shujuan took off his clothes, let go of the braid that was tied into a ponytail, and his long black hair fell down.
She walked to the wall and twisted the wrench. Dozens of water lines suddenly sprayed out from the shower head protruding above her head, enveloping her.
“Well, it’s very convenient, right?” Hummingbird handed a round thing into her hand, “This is a bath product invented by His Highness, it can’t be better to use it when taking a shower, come on, let me teach you how to use it ”
…
When Evelyn returned to the room again, her whole body felt a little lighter.
She has never experienced such a comfortable bath. When soap is used to make foam on her body, and then washed away with clean water, the sticky feeling all over her body is immediately swept away, replaced by freshness and smoothness.
After changing into clean clothes, the stuffy air seemed to cool down, and when she raised her arms, she could still smell the scent of roses remaining on her skin.
Is this the daily life of a witch in the Aid Society?
Evelyn was still a little unbelievable. She was born in the outer city of the capital, and her family ran a tavern. Although most of the visitors were peasants, the topics of conversation were always inseparable from the nobles in the inner city and their debauched life. , She also heard a lot when serving wine for guests.
For example, a gold-encrusted bathtub filled with wine, and a milk bathtub sprinkled with rose petals… But even in their amazing rumors, none of them can compare to her personal experience today—at least Evelyn doesn’t think How pleasant it is to bathe in wine and milk.
Considering that the owner of the castle is a real prince, it is normal to pay attention to comfort and pleasure.
But the witches actually lived the same life as the royal family and nobles, which was unimaginable to her.
You must know that before going to Sleeping Island, even maintaining an ordinary and peaceful life is a luxury.
“Are you hungry?” Shujuan dried his hair and re-braided his braids. “It’s almost time for dinner. Let’s go to the lobby.”
In the living room on the first floor, the long square wooden table was already filled with various dishes. Evelyn roughly counted the dishes. There were six pots of meat alone, as well as custard, vegetable soup, and roasted mushrooms. They were no worse than last night’s welcome banquet.
When the other witches were in place, everyone started to move.
She noticed that some people used a pair of wooden sticks to pick up food in addition to knives and forks, and the same was true for His Highness himself. He rarely even picked up knives and forks, and the wooden sticks in his hands were flying up and down, looking very flexible.
The food in the dining bowl also does not have large steaks or whole chickens or ducks—different from the common food in taverns, the steak is cut into small pieces, and the wild boar legs are boned, and they can only be sent directly to the mouth. .
When the dinner was coming to an end, His Royal Highness suddenly clapped his hands, “I have recently researched two new things, which I plan to promote as products, but I don’t know how effective they will be. I want you to try them first. If you have any opinions, please let me know.” ”
“What is it, food?”
“Okay, I want to try!”
“I’m going to goo!”
The witches of the Mutual Aid Society burst into cheers, and Evelyn looked at the scroll blankly, who explained with a smile: “His Royal Highness often reveals some novelties, such as the soap you used before, as well as perfume, chopsticks, Ice cream…he always asks us to try it out before it is officially put into production.”
“Ahem,” the prince cleared his throat, “the first thing is baijiu. Compared with common ale and fruit wine, its The taste is more mellow and intoxicating, so underage witches are not allowed to participate.”
“Your Highness, this is prejudice!” Lightning yelled, “I can drink more than those adult sailors!”
“That’s not allowed.”
” Hmm…” The little girl pouted, but Roland was unmoved, and ordered the attendant to bring up the full liquor and distribute it to the adult witches.
Three glasses were also placed in front of Evelyn—I saw that the crystal clear crystal glasses contained different wines, one was transparent and colorless, like clear water, the other was milky white, and the last one was a bright orange-yellow , Under the flickering candlelight, you can still see some tiny floating matter, which looks like unfiltered fruit wine.
“They are white wine mixed with apple juice, white wine mixed with milk, and pure white wine,” Roland introduced. “Ice cubes can be added according to your own taste. The more you put in, the lighter the taste of the wine.” Then he smiled at Evelyn, “You have stayed in the tavern in Wangdu, and your ability is to brew different kinds of wine. I hope to hear your evaluation of this new wine.”
Evelyn couldn’t help but thumped twice in her heart .
He took a sip from the glass containing the orange wine. Sure enough, as His Highness said, the taste of baijiu is far stronger than that of ale, and it even pricks his throat. The tip of his tongue feels a bit bitter, but the fragrance of apples dilutes its influence. It was the mellowness of the wine itself—several flavors reverberated in the mouth in turn, and it was the first time she had tasted such an excellent wine.
The white wine mixed with milk is milder, and the bitterness has almost disappeared. She can taste that besides the milk, there should be some honey or sugar in it. The sweetness and the aroma of the wine are mixed together to form a brand new taste. .
When it’s the last cup, UU reads www.sonicmtl.
com Evelyn was already full of expectations, she took a small sip, and the burning sensation immediately rolled over the base of her tongue and throat – just as she expected, there was no interference from other flavors, only the pure smell of wine remained.
First it is hot, then it is sweet under the bitterness.
“The taste of these three glasses of wine is…unforgettable,” she put down the glass and took a breath, “Your Highness, some people may not be able to accept its strong and stimulating taste, but I think people who really love drinking will not Resist having such a mellow wine aroma.”
“Really?” Roland smiled, “It’s good as it is, but this glass is not the strongest liquor, and I can further enhance its aroma, and I will let you taste it when the time comes ”
Um, did he pick himself here just to test his new wine?
Although Evelyn was a little confused, she still replied, “Yes, Your Highness.” After the
wine glasses and plates were removed, His Royal Highness ordered his attendants to bring a bunch of boxes and put them on the long table.
“This is the second new item, and it is also a small gift I intend to give you,” he paused, “a special piece of clothing.”
