Wine and the land of Knights - in the Empire, knights may not be sure, but only Byrne's wine can be called the top.

Whether it's dry red from Sacramento, white grapes from eboden, honey wine from lottel, cider from ellemans, or horse milk wine from Boye... It can only rank second in front of Byrne wine. What can be placed on the banquet table is always a good wine from Byrne winery.

Rich land can give birth to more hardworking farmers; It is said that in order to find a suitable plantation, the bain people often taste the soil and gravel with their tongue, and judge whether this land is suitable for growing grapes in the most direct way.

The knight lords of Byrne are also different from other lords. Except that most plantations near the castle are not directly under the count's name, but they control the best wine cellar and absolute "wine making right" in the territory. All matters related to grape procurement and sales are in the charge of special officials, and even the count himself when necessary.

Only in Byrne, the price of a bottle of wine can reach hundreds or even thousands of gold coins; The two families will break up with each other for a small piece of land suitable for growing grapes, and even duel disputes for generations... This can only happen in Bain.

The more high-quality and suitable soil, the more fragrant and rich wine can be produced... Although Bain has 13 powerful Earl collars, there are only three top wine producing areas.

The territory of the Turin family is one of them. Even their castle is named by wine... The "red blood wine" with strong taste and rich taste can only be seen in the court banquets of the principality and even the Empire.

"Thank me from the bottom of your heart, Lord Loren; if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be eligible to drink the red blood wine hoarded for 40 years at the banquet of the heavenly palace!"

Charlotte raised her mouth slightly and looked at the black haired wizard opposite. Her arrogant look on her beautiful face even had a trace of loveliness: "of course, the premise is that you are really qualified to participate in the banquet of the heavenly palace."

"Of course, it's my great honor." with a shrug, Loren smiled calmly, looked directly at the countess, made her cheeks slightly drunk, and turned her head aside with a charming hum.

I hate this guy who looks decent but doesn't have any sincerity!

Charles, the housekeeper who didn't speak next to him, smiled, picked up the sealed wine bottle, carefully opened the cork with a sterling silver bottle opener, acted lightly and skillfully, and the rich black cherry fragrance floated out, overflowing with fragrance.

As for the person in charge of the manor... Charles had already sent him away.

Even people like Loren who don't know much about wine know that not all wines have the potential to hoard for decades or even centuries; Forty years of red blood, the price has already surpassed the equivalent weight of gold.

Holding the silver cup, the wine is as red as blood, stirring slightly in the cup; When opening the bottle, the fruit flavor has dissipated, and the rippling wine is mixed with the smell of cedar and tobacco; The entrance is full-bodied, like the real feeling of plasma flowing into the throat. The passionate and heroic texture is an unparalleled stimulation to the body.

Red blood... Worthy of the name!

Charlotte frowned slightly. Compared with the strong red blood wine, the fruity and sweet "Nightingale" of the Glenville family is more to her taste, but this is not the focus of coming here today.

After sipping the wine, Charlotte kept glancing at the girl sitting there in a daze... Wearing a lavender dress and a silver shawl, Ariel was sitting on a cool chair in the sun, her empty eyes didn't know what she was thinking.

And her too young "housekeeper" disappeared all day long; Although we didn't meet each other much, it seems that Miss Ariel and her housekeeper are not close, and even vaguely mutually exclusive... Of course, this is just Charlotte's intuition.

How did the young housekeeper and miss, so two people, from eboden to Byrne, go all the way safe and sound without being found?

The countess became more and more suspicious... Especially the unreasonable trust of the dark haired wizard, which made her very upset - this is the territory of the Turin family. Why did she say she had to promise to visit the wine cellar and say "just let you know"

"The red blood of 40 years has been completely aged, and the taste is really biased." Charles, who noticed the countess's expression, immediately said with his hands on his back and a gentle smile on his mouth:

"I'll prepare some snacks and ask you to wait a moment." then the housekeeper turned and left.

As soon as Charles left, the silence of the three people immediately became awkward - Ariel in a daze, Charlotte with suspicion in her eyes, and Loren who didn't know what to say.

Loren suddenly regretted informing the countess... Of course, the consequences of not informing may be more serious.

"How do you feel, Miss Ariel?" the countess suddenly felt a little nervous, holding the glass with a stiff smile: "in addition to red blood, there are many types of wines in the cellars of Turin family, with good flavor."

"If I can, I'm going to hand over the wine trade to the United Chamber of Commerce of the corona family. What do you think?"

"You don't need to ask my opinion on these things, count Charlotte Turin." Ariel looked at her calmly, her eyes were still so empty:

"I have discussed this matter with Lauren. From today on, he will be fully responsible for all these matters, including sales and the United Chamber of Commerce. He will also take care of and take charge of them alone."

"... it must be hard for you to come so far from eboden to Bain?"

"Well... Not at all; since Lauren needs it, it doesn't matter at all."

"Excuse me, how long will it take for the person in charge of the follow-up United Chamber of Commerce to arrive in Bain?"

"You just need to ask Lauren about it - as I just said, everything has been entrusted to him; he will decide all the trade between the corona family and eboden in Bain."

"Do you trust this... Wizard so much?"

"Sure, what's the problem?"

"... no, not at all..."

Leave it to Lauren alone and ask him all... You came to Byrne alone from eboden to tell me that?

The atmosphere of the conversation became more and more strange. Ariel, who had taken the initiative, didn't talk much at all. Only Lauren with an embarrassed face and Charlotte with increasingly suspicious eyes talked without a word.

"I'll go around the wine cellar and visit it by the way."

The black haired wizard got up, forced a smile towards the two women present, and turned quietly away.

Below the garden is an open and spacious wine cellar. The dry air is filled with the fragrance of oak barrels and volatile wine, which makes people intoxicated.

As soon as he stepped into the cellar and closed the door, the black haired wizard's expression immediately cooled down; As soon as he turned around, a thin young figure appeared in front of the empty door, blinking his big watery eyes and smiling at himself.

But it's a pity that Loren doesn't eat this.

"Know the context in a minute, and why you called me here." Liang silver directly put it on Asriel's delicate neck, although neither of them showed a trace of fear and murderous spirit.

"Alas... I'm still as impatient as ever." the young man sighed, as if he didn't care about the sharp blade pressed on his collarbone: "can't you be a little more patient? Byrne's wine is very sacred..."

"Forty eight, forty-seven, forty-six..." the black haired wizard was expressionless.

"I found what Loren was looking for." Asriel smiled cunningly: "the governor Gaspar Wayne is indeed colluding with some guys, and they seem to be very interested in the recovery of the dead... Well, maybe some guy's admirers?"

"Admirer?"

"In the words of the church, it is basically a 'synonym' of heresy... I didn't expect to see such an interesting group of guys in the place shrouded by the Holy Cross in the past hundreds of years."

"You only answered me one question." Lauren narrowed his eyes. "Why did you come here?"

"As I said, in Byrne... Good wine is sacred." Asriel raised his mouth:

"Under this wine cellar is their holy land!"
