People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Regardless of Reinhardt's approval, Long Niang immediately picked up the wine glass and took a swig. However, her expression changed immediately after the drink. With her eyebrows raised, she turned to look at the counter and shouted, "Boss, are you hiding something? Bring out the good wine!"

The voice had just become a little excited and enthusiastic, but in an instant it returned to its cold tone.

Hiding something private?

Reinhardt was a little confused.

Obviously, this glass of wine is quite good, but it is a bit expensive, and he can't drink too much given his wealth.

This idea was completely destroyed until the boss happily took out a bottle of new wine and put it on their table.

"Well, that's right. This is the most commonly sold wine in the royal city of Rodel." The dragon lady nodded with satisfaction.

"Well... please enjoy your meal." The boss smiled and slipped back to the counter in disappointment.

"What the hell?!"

The moment the bottle was opened, the aroma of the wine made him exclaim in surprise.

Here, he finally understood what it meant for a big store to bully its customers.

Compared to this bottle of wine, the glass in his hand is not even as good as water, it is completely not on the same level.

As expected, the ancients were not deceiving me. The bigger the store, the more it likes to overcharge customers, just like the scenic spots in my previous life.

He clearly wanted the best wine, but what he got was a bunch of inferior stuff, and he ended up tasting it as if it were the best stuff.

Isn’t this bullying an honest person? !

Thinking of this, the look he gave his boss became dangerous.

"Come and try it. This is the specialty of the royal city of Rodel, the golden wine."

Long Niang snatched the wine glass from his hand, threw it casually, spilling the wine on the ground, and picked up a new glass of wine to pour him another one.

The golden wine gradually filled the cup along the wall, and just as the name of the wine meant, the cup was filled with gold.

The feeling when you put it in your mouth is just like eating Dove, so smooth.

Moreover, the taste of the wine is not particularly strong, like a light fragrance, but not intoxicating.

"Well, are you satisfied?"

"Well, it's a good wine, but..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the boss sitting at the counter.

Even though the golden wine was indeed delicious, he still couldn't tolerate the boss's cheating behavior. The most important thing was that he was the one being overcharged.

Living at the foot of the golden tree is not enough, are you planning to return to the roots and become nutrients?

Long Niang also saw through his thoughts at a glance and said with a smile: "Well, don't worry, I will treat you to this meal, you can drink as much as you want."

Her gray hair fell down her shoulders as she nodded, and her previous icy look was completely gone, and she looked a little more approachable.

"That's great! If you have the chance, I'll invite you to try Lienia's delicacies."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

The two of them hit it off right away, like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Then the two of them started drinking heavily.

One cup, two cups, three cups...

One bottle, two bottles...

Until the table was filled with empty wine bottles.

At this time, the boss's face was uglier than bitter melon, and he was so sad that he couldn't even cry.

Originally, he just wanted to kill the magician from Lienia and make a small profit.

But what was unexpected was that this magician actually knew the ancient dragon priest of the Royal City of Rodel!

Moreover, the Ancient Dragon Priest said that she would treat everyone to this meal.

This isn't a treat, it's clearly freeloading!

After all, how could he dare to collect money from the famous ancient dragon priest in the royal city.

Isn't that the same as lighting a candle in the toilet - lighting (looking for) shit (death)?

At this point, the boss could only pray that these two living ancestors would finish their drinks and leave quickly to minimize his losses.

But it was obvious that they had not yet had enough to drink, and they kept raising their glasses as if they were old friends.

"Hmm, it's been a long time since I've met someone who can drink as much as you. I'm very happy today."

"Haha, really? Me too. I really had a great time today. And this wine is really fragrant and delicious."

After drinking for a while, Reinhardt was a little tipsy, but his mind was still clear, and the slowly flowing solar power in his body was constantly helping him eliminate the alcohol.

However, this was the first time he drank so happily since he came to the border area.

In his heart, his love for golden wine was second only to the royal wine that Lani had given him last time. It was simply too delicious.

However, his words made the generous dragon lady smile.

"Is that what you think? But this isn't the best wine in the city of Rodel. The real wine is in the hands of Marika, the goddess of the golden tree. The divine wine that serves her, the Pure Wine, is the true supreme wine."

"Ah, Marika... forget it then."

When he first heard that there was a more delicious wine, he was naturally very interested, but when he heard Marika's name, he gave up decisively.

"What? Are you afraid?" Long Niang asked with interest, supporting her head with one hand, her fingers gently stroking the rim of the cup.

"How is that possible... It's just Marika. Although she's a problem, she's not something to be afraid of..."

Reinhardt slowly lowered his head to gaze at his reflection in the cup, then continued, "...It's just that I'm accompanying the monarch this time, and I don't want to trouble her over such a trivial matter."

"Oh? A knight serving the monarch? It seems you are an excellent knight."

As she spoke, Long Niang looked at him with a little more appreciation.

For her, the most admired beings in the Royal City of Rodel are none other than the knights who fight for the monarch. Their noble spirit and holy soul are what she loves most.

"Well, let's just take it as it is." Reinhardt said indifferently, but he also asked curiously: "I have a question for you. Is this how you, the Ancient Dragon Clan, always speak?"

Although there is no barrier to communication, it always feels a bit weird to hear him speak in an ancient dialect.

"Mm?"

The dragon girl tilted her head in confusion, her gray hair falling down her shoulders, making her look a little silly.

Then he seemed to understand and nodded, changing his previous way of speaking: "It's been a long time since I communicated with humans like this. I've forgotten the communication differences a little. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, but it sounds much better this way." Reinhardt nodded comfortably, picked up the glass again and said, "Come on, let's continue drinking!"

"Okay, I'll drink with you to your heart's content today!"

Long Niang also raised her wine glass and clinked it with his. Her heroic look did not tell that she was a woman, or a female at all.

Just like that, under the boss's almost crying gaze, the two of them drank to their heart's content.

It was almost midnight when the two men finally walked out of the store. The table where they had originally sat and the floor were already filled with densely packed wine bottles. The boss, who was slumped on the floor, was sobbing softly like an insulted little girl.

Today, he lost a lot of money. Even if he made half a year's profit from all the wine, it would be hard to make up for it...

If he could do it again, he swore that he would never kill the magician who came here from Lienia and serve him good wine.

Unfortunately, there is no if in everything, and there is no redo in life.

Outside at this time, although the light of the golden tree had faded, the faint afterglow was still so dazzling, still illuminating the royal city like daylight.

The hawking sounds around them were still incessant, and the noisy and lively atmosphere enveloped the two of them.

"Thank you for letting me drink such a mellow and delicious wine today. As I said before, I will invite you to taste Lienia's specialties when the chance comes."

"Well, I'll be looking forward to it."

"Then I'll leave first. Goodbye."

After a few brief greetings, Reinhardt turned around and prepared to leave, but when he took a step, the dragon girl's voice came again and made his body freeze.

"...I believe we will meet again soon, my drinking buddy, Reinhardt."

"?!"

When Reinhardt heard his own name, his eyes widened immediately, but when he turned his head, the familiar dragon girl had disappeared.

Only huge crowds of people were left surging on the streets, and the familiar gray-black cloak was no longer to be found.

"...How did she know my name?"

Reinhardt muttered softly, his heart filled with three parts of doubt and seven parts of confusion.

The most important thing is that it would be fine if the other party knew his name, but he didn’t know the other party’s name at all!

-------------------------------------

At midnight, Reinhardt returned to the mansion.

The afterglow of the golden tree shone into the mansion, making everything around it bright.

But it was also quiet.

He didn't know whether that guy Servais had returned, but at least Lani was definitely not back yet.

I don’t know why Marika gathered these demigods and why it took so long.

It was like some secret religious gathering or hidden party.

However, he didn't think too much about it. He was indeed a little tired after a busy day and drinking for half a day.

So he went straight back to his room, put away his weapon, and threw his body heavily onto the bed.

With a "dong" sound, the body was suddenly surrounded by a soft touch.

“The bed is the most comfortable indeed…”

The whole person seemed to be sealed in this soft big bed, and even had the thought of not wanting to get up again.

Under this soft embrace, the heavy eyelids gradually closed, and gradually a faint snoring sound could be heard.

clatter--

He didn't know how long he had slept when the sound of footsteps landed quietly on the ground reached his ears. He was suddenly startled and his eyes suddenly opened as he sat up from the bed.

"Who?!"

"...The vigilance is high, not bad...We meet again, Reinhardt."

This ethereal voice and the familiar figure that came into view, the person who appeared out of nowhere in the room, made his eyes gradually widen.

"[Eternal Queen] Marika?!"

But his surprise quickly turned to dissatisfaction. A grumpiness gradually filled his heart, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly and ask, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what are you doing in the room of a stranger like me so late at night? Are you looking for a bed partner because you can't sleep alone?"

No wonder he was so angry. You were sleeping soundly when suddenly someone broke into the room and woke you up.

Anyone would be a little angry if this happened.

But Malika’s response was surprising.

"Oh, you're so smooth-talking..."

Even though he teased her with words like that, she didn't show any sign of being angry. She even had a slight smile on her lips, looking at him jokingly as if they were meeting for the first time.

"...But, Reinhardt, you seem to know a lot..." Marika said meaningfully, with a murderous look flashing in the depths of her golden pupils.

As Reinhardt said, she was indeed unable to sleep alone.

Although she often appears with Radagon, she will later be brought back using the fundamentalism of the Golden Rule.

So, on weekdays, she and Radagan are one.

It can be said that this secret was known to almost no one except the two fingers, but the knight in front of him revealed it in one sentence.

"I don't understand what Her Majesty means, but if you want to find a sparring partner, I don't mind at all."

Facing the heavy pressure emanating from Marika, Reinhardt faced it calmly.

However, his hand had already reached out to the pillow without leaving any trace, grabbing the pyroxene weapon hidden underneath - "De".

If the opponent makes the slightest movement, he will definitely not hold back.

Even when facing this powerful goddess who could even block the sun.
