Chapter 187 Mead Princess

 Lieyu felt that he might not live long.

She wakes up drunk every day and falls asleep in a daze, increasingly unable to tell the difference between day and night.

Having been living in a state of drunkenness and dreaming of death for nearly half a year.

 Wine tasting must be done by the winemaker himself, no one else can do it for him.

 I didn’t have this trouble in the past.

 Because mead production has been very low.

To make mead, honey needs to be diluted with water, then cooked at high temperature, and finally made into wine. This series of processes requires precise control, and each step consumes a lot of time and energy.

  Honey has always been an expensive food, and the amount that can be used for production is small.

 Brewing mead can be said to be a delicate job that requires both money and patience.

 But ever since Hunter Rain came to the fortress, this situation has completely changed.

 After drinking the mead she made, the dwarves unanimously reached a consensus: as long as she is willing to stay in the fortress and make wine for the dwarves, then the honey will be enough! And as much as you want, the dwarves will give you.

 Everything is to make a better wine than this!

 They even gave Hunting Rain a nickname, calling her "Mead Princess".

 The Stove family has oral traditions that the dwarf ancestors were friends with many princesses. Those princesses are either of noble status or have experienced adventures, but they are all beautiful and charming noble ladies.

 Lie Yu felt that this title was completely inappropriate for him.

 She is not a noble lady, she is just a huntress who has been climbing mountains and catching sea since she was a child. Moreover, she is already in her thirties and is no longer young.

 Lie Yu knew that his appearance was not outstanding. How could an adventurer who was exposed to the sun and rain maintain his skin fair and tender?

But she doesn’t care about that.

She has a pair of hands covered with fine wounds, dexterous and powerful. She can easily climb trees, bend a bow and shoot arrows, catch rocks and birds on cliffs, and can also skillfully collect honey.

She has a pair of tireless legs that can keep running like a rabbit and can kick the gangster's vitals accurately.

 She has the face of an adventurer, and the dirty mud and sweat are her best battle decorations.

 Lie Yu was once blocked by a pride of lions at the cave entrance, and was also chased by man-eating crabs in the water. She was attacked by adventurers, and also encountered businessmen with evil intentions... She was not afraid at all.

 Adventurers must learn to live with a smile.

 But now, she is a little scared.

For the first time, Lieyu truly felt that he might die of drunkenness in the dwarf fortress. If this was the way to die, she would be following her great-grandfather's old path, which would make her headache worse.

 She rubbed her forehead with her hands and drank a large glass of water. Her head was a little hazy and her body was swaying.

 “Are you okay?” A dwarf supported her.

"I'm fine... I just have a little headache. Just drink some honey and it'll be fine."

  Lie Yu took one of the jars densely packed on the wall, scooped out a spoonful of honey, stirred it into the water, then raised his head and drank it.

  Honey water can sober up alcohol. This is also a small discovery made by the Hunter family.

 She came to her senses a little and noticed that the dwarf standing in front of her had no beard. She was the female dwarf Huo Shao Yun, who was also Lie Yu’s roommate and lived in the same room as her.

 “You gave me a big scare yesterday.”

The female dwarf smiled hoarsely, showing her wide gums: "I helped you back, and you were singing and dancing there. You also said that you were going to make rose wine from the roses in the Valley of the Gods."

“What’s the name of the one you’re singing?”

Huo Shaoyun imitated the staggering steps and sang tunelessly: "Rose Rose~I love you~"

Lieyu's ears turned red, and she quickly stretched out her hand to stop him: "Okay, okay!"

Huo Shaoyun asked her curiously: "Is there really a huge white rose in the Valley of the Gods in the Eastern Continent? There are straits and mountains there, as well as many extraordinary creatures. The next place we, the blast furnace wizards, plan to go to is there."

"some."

Lieyu touched his hot ears with his hand: "Mr. Yanjiu practiced there and repeatedly fought with the strange grass inside. It is a powerful creature that is difficult to deal with... I saw the white rose there."

“It is very big, taller and more eye-catching than the surrounding pine trees. It is surrounded by the fresh fragrance of flowers. It shoots out sharp thorns, which is beautiful and dangerous. Only the green swallowtail butterfly and the stink swallowtail butterfly will not be attacked by it if they get close."

Huo Shaoyun listened with a look of longing: "If you use that kind of rose to make wine, it will definitely be very fragrant, right?"

　　　…”

Lieyu looked helpless: "At that time, Mr. Yanjiu couldn't even get close. The needles of the white rose were too strong. If we can get the withered petals, maybe there is a way."

“We’ll find the petals, can you make rose wine?”

 “If I can get it, I think I can.”

 Lieyu was not joking when he saw the other party, and he also made a serious commitment.

 “Then it’s a deal!”

 The two sides bumped their fists, and then spread their fingers.

 This is a custom for the Huolu clan to make an oath.

Huo Shaoyun asked again: "Apart from this, have you been to [Tree Canopy City] in the Valley of Gods?"

 “I’ve seen it, but I haven’t climbed the tree.”

Lieyu recalled: "The red pine trees there carry toxins, and you can easily get poisoned if you fall into them. I followed Mr. Shiojiu and saw from a distance that the squirrels on the trees were busy all the time. Although they can't speak, they can They traded pine nuts for wheat cakes with us. They were a friendly bunch.”

"oh…"

 Seeing Huo Shaoyun's worried look, Lie Yu realized that something might be wrong with her.

 “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

"No," the female dwarf said, "It's just that a martial arts association has been established in Yancheng. The martial arts cultivators are being organized to officially enter the Valley of the Gods, saying they want to check the situation there."

 Lie Yu is not interested in this.

Now she only thinks about three things, making wine, making wine, and making wine again.

 “There’s one more. I almost forgot.”

Huo Shaoyun took out a necklace from his armor. The chain body of the necklace is made of brass, which is very delicate, and the pendant is a white shell without any impurities.

 “This is a rare and sophisticated piece of equipment!”

The female dwarf said with excitement: "Even the stove clan needs a lot of precious materials to make such a good thing, as well as a lot of complicated craftsmanship and forging!"

 “You’ll understand when you put it on.”

 Lieyu tried to put the necklace on his neck.

As she fastened the buckle, she felt a warm force surrounding her, which immediately made her dizzy brain sober.

"It's incredible..." Lieyu gently touched the necklace around his neck.

 “This is specially made for you, because we know that you often get drunk. With it, you will not get drunk easily.”

Huo Shaoyun said seriously: "This necklace is called [Mead Princess]. Its ability is [Drunk Immunity]. It uses many extraordinary materials, including the sachet of musk ladybug, the oil secreted by sandworm, and the omnipotent stone found by the fishman. ...As long as you put it on, you won't get drunk. We all failed hundreds of times before we succeeded in forging it. It was made just for you."

 Lie Yu couldn't laugh or cry. The dwarves were very obsessed with the title princess.

"thank you all!"

 She sighed in her heart.

The Stove people are indeed passionate, and they will treat their friends sincerely and without reservation.

Hunter Yu secretly made up his mind to brew the best mead to repay these dwarf friends.

Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "Everyone, come out and see, there is a new sun! Hey, this time the sun is blue!"

 Hunting Rain and Huo Shaoyun walked out of the fortress.

 She raised her head.

A blue sun slowly rose in the sky, emitting a faint light like the sea, far away from another golden sun.

The dwarves all looked up at the two suns in the sky, marveling at them one by one.

The other two members of [The Strange Man from the Blast Furnace] were also present.

 Gao Youzhuang crossed his arms and said: "I wonder if this new sun will be expelled by the gods... I hope it can understand something. Otherwise, it will be the fate of the dark sun."

 “No, no, look carefully.”

The man next to him Wei Ermeng said: "Ah Gao, feel it with your heart. This blue sun has the power of Lord Yao... Do you feel it?"

“It’s really...it turns out that the sun was created by the **** Yao.”

"Hey, don't be distracted. Look carefully at the sun and make a wish...it's called the [Wish Star]."

 “It’s a gift from the gods! Come on, everyone, make a wish!”

Just by looking up at the blue sun, everyone can immediately understand that this round of blue sun carries incredible divine power. It is listening to the voice of every believer of Yao God. If you pray to it and make an oath, you will get the god's attention.

 Lie Yu touched the [Mead Princess] on her neck.

 She crossed her index fingers, looked at the wishing star, and prayed silently in her heart.

O omnipotent God Yao, please let me try out the best recipe for mead as soon as possible...
