[Barrage: Oh my god, this is too serious!How about improving the taste for vampires? 】
【Barrage: Although I am very touched, can this really pass the level...】
In the picture, Yu Yue proposed to "add sugar", which surprised the few people who came to watch.
"Add, add sugar? Why add sugar?" Lin Yin, who has always been steady, stuttered.
"Adding sugar will taste better." Yu Yue couldn't explain more, so he could only say this.
As he spoke, he demonstrated the use of the machine for several people. He put the boiled and peeled tomatoes just now into the partition with a cloth pocket in the middle, and then turned the crank handle heavily.As he moved, the blade and the bamboo head sank slowly, pressing against the bamboo basket below, and the fresh and juicy tomato pulp was squeezed in the middle, overflowing bright red clear juice, filtered by the cloth bag, and then All are collected into the barrel below along the bamboo weaving pattern.
He put the sucrose in his hand into the funnel. The sucrose fell on the top of the head seat, was scraped by the rotating blade, and soon turned into powder, mixed with the sticky juice and dripped together.
The whole process is very smooth, and even has a certain aesthetic.
Perhaps this operation process was too tempting, Hui Hui, A Da and Gou Zhu, who had become vampires, couldn't help but sniff their noses.
"Not to mention, Brother Yu just has an idea," Gou Zhu approached with greedy eyes, "Can you let me taste it? I'm a vampire now, maybe the taste is the same as Earl's."
"Crack." Before he finished speaking, Huihui pushed his head away: "You have a good idea! The sucrose is almost gone!"
This sentence is telling the truth. In this luxurious back kitchen, there are all kinds of condiments, but there are not many such delicate cans filled with sucrose.Apparently, sucrose is the rarest thing in the whole kitchen, as if it were a precious condiment.
Yu Yue, who discovered this, pursed his lips, carefully moved the bucket of tomato juice to a corner and hid it, and then said: "In the daytime, let's find some fruits and some sugar."
He already had a tub of sweetened tomato juice, but he wasn't sure if it would be enough.
After all, the Earl was seriously injured, and his heart was bleeding so much, he didn't know how much tomato juice he needed.
On the side, Gou Zhu was disappointed that he couldn't feast on the food.Instead, Lin Yin came over and asked again in a low voice, "Are you sure this is the correct answer?"
"I'm sure." Yu Yue also nodded again.
This time, hearing his affirmation, even Lin Yin was somewhat convinced, so he nodded.
[Barrage: Although I don't think it's that simple, but the little brother is so sure, could it be that he saw something in the earl's memory? 】
[Barrage: Did the boss like to eat candy when he was a child? 】
【Barrage:? ? ? The boss is so cute?I do not believe! 】
[Barrage: I don't believe it either.Seeing all the way to the present, he is quite confident. It would be ridiculous if the car overturned. 】
[Bullet screen: Front article, if he didn't roll over, you'd be laughing. 】
【Barrage:? ? ?If you can pass the level with tomato juice alone, I'll give you my head, okay? 】
[Barrage: To put it mildly, I also think it's a bit unreliable. 】
[Barrage: The answer to tomato juice, the housekeeper said yes, and the earl also said no problem, what are you worrying about? 】
The live viewers didn't understand why Yu Yue insisted on using sugar-sweetened tomato juice to pass the level.
All of a sudden, tomato juice became the target of public criticism, and everyone began to pay attention to tomato juice, and fought over whether they could use it to clear the level.
In contrast, the players in the dungeon are relatively calm.
Because they need to complete the task as soon as possible, they feel uneasy even though they have a daytime for preparation.
Everyone's mentality is the same - get through this night as soon as possible, and pass the level as soon as possible.
In the huge kitchen of the castle, the busy figures of several players have never stopped. When the morning sun just came out of the window, they used the machine made by Yu Yue to squeeze out ten buckets of tomato juice—it’s not because they were inefficient , but the tomato is gone.
"Aside from looking for tomatoes, do we need to prepare other food? What else do we need to do?" Ada and Axiao, who had been fighting for tomatoes with the vampires outside the door and delivering tomatoes, stopped at the kitchen door and asked out of breath.
Their unintentional words stopped everyone from asking.
That's right, the butler just asked them to prepare for the banquet, but he didn't elaborate on how to prepare.
Last night, they took it for granted that all they needed to do was prepare the food and the songs.
Thinking about it now, it may not be that simple.
How should the banquet venue, invited guests, tableware, other food, and even a series of procedures be arranged?
After a busy night, everyone looked at each other.
They thought they were close to the truth, but at this time they realized that the task was still more difficult than imagined.
Yu Yue touched his face, his pair of blue-green pupils had fully recovered, and he couldn't see the bloody shadow from yesterday.The sunlight outside the window shone warmly on his body, it didn't hurt him at all, but instead covered his whole body with a fluffy golden light.
"How about this. I'll go to the town to find tomatoes and sugar, and ask Aggie about the banquet by the way. There was no blood moon last night, and it was a peaceful night. They must believe us and the count." He said Be humane to a few.
"They must trust the count."
At this time, a very powerful voice sounded at the same time.
A few people were taken aback, and looked towards the door, only to see the tall Adlan standing in the shadow of the door, with red tomato juice remaining at the corner of his mouth.
Yu Yue hurriedly turned around: "Adelan."
The man who had fully recovered his mind nodded to him, and said solemnly: "I heard what you just said. If you want to ask Aji for help, I will go with you. I will listen to everything he does in town Having said that, all this is all my fault, the father made a bad start to his son... I heard that brat accused you in public and caused you a lot of grievances, if he still dares not believe you this time, look at me How to teach him a lesson!"
"Ah," Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "He hasn't been through this before..."
"There's no need to say anything," cried Adrian, "I'll go with you!"
[Barrage: Hahahahaha. 】
[Bullet screen: Don't say anything else, just say that the little brother has conquered so many npcs in this dungeon, so he shouldn't be eliminated. 】
[Bullet screen: You are right, after all, you pulled out the father who was almost lying in the coffin. 】
"Thank you for your kindness," Yu Yue hesitated, "but now that you have become a vampire, it may not be convenient for you to walk in the sun."
"No matter what method is used." Facing the difficulties, Adelan did not flinch and was very determined, "I must let them know what happened."
While talking, Carl and Joshua also came in, and Carl put his hand on Sucia's shoulder: "Son, we all think what he said is right, we must retell this story to everyone in the town , not just singing at banquets."
Hearing what Adelan and Carl said, Lin Yin and Yu Yue looked at each other.
They have a point.
The appearance of these townspeople provided them with a new way of thinking.
It was these townspeople who had actually held a banquet with the Earl, and it was these townspeople who continued the tradition of the banquet. Instead of inquiring around, why not persuade them directly and seek their help?
The few people who felt that they were encountering difficulties just now cheered up in an instant.
[Bullet screen: Yes, it seems that after the goodwill in the early stage is enough, the npcs have come to help clear the level. 】
【Barrage: I just don't know how they will bring Adlan to the town? 】
In fact, as long as one really wants to do something, one can always find a good way.
Several people worked together to search in the castle room, and finally found a box big enough for Adlan to curl up in.
The tall Adelan shrank his hands and feet and squatted into the box, not feeling wronged, but with a solemn expression, as if he was going to do something very important.
Originally, Lin Yin wanted to go with Yu Yue, but because he was worried about Gou Zhu and other "people", Joshua and A Xiao finally accompanied Yu Yue on the road.
Joshua has been stealing chickens and dogs since he was a child. He does not appear to be physically strong, but he has great strength.He easily put the box hiding Adelan on his back and whistled.
He even hugged his accordion.
When he walked out of the gate of the castle, Adlain said in a muffled voice in the box: "Please tell me the music you have composed. After so many years, I am still willing to be the earl's bard."
The sky is already bright, and the warm sunshine is spreading on the small mountain path.
A young man in a moon-white gown is leading a down-and-out musician, who is carrying a bard on his back.We hummed the old stories together, and walked back to the town from the castle thousands of years ago.
Along the way, Yu Yue thought a lot.
He was thinking about Aggie's reaction when he saw his father, and how the townspeople would react to what they had said.
But all these worries disappeared without a trace when he walked to the outskirts of the town.
I saw countless townspeople standing in the once barren orchard.With bamboo baskets in their hands and picking tools, they plucked huge tomatoes from their branches.
Aji was standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, directing with his hands crossed.
"Everyone, move faster," Aji's voice came from afar, and he said loudly, "I remember that this fruit is very important. My father once presented this fruit to the earl as a rare food. Perhaps They'll need it today!"
Here, Yu Yue, Joshua, and A Xiao all stopped, and they looked at each other strangely - Aji obviously paid more attention to commitment than they imagined, and was really helping with his heart.
"They also seem to be helping us collect tomatoes." Ah Xiaoyong said.
Joshua stood beside Yu Yue, silent.But he looked at Aji in the distance, no longer hostile.
Yu Yue nodded: "Then let's go there now."
Before he finished speaking, Aji, who was standing in the distance, turned his head to look at them as if he had sensed something.When he saw Yu Yue and Joshua walking towards him carrying a strange big box, he frowned.
Aji lowered his arms and greeted him.
"We brought a person. But it's not convenient for him to come out now. Can we go to your house?" Yu Yue shouted from afar.
Aji stood still, his eyes suspicious.Behind him, many townspeople turned their heads and saw that it was Yu Yue who came, so they raised their hands to greet them kindly.
[Barrage: Huh? 】
[Barrage: Everyone's attitude seems to have suddenly changed for the better. 】
[Barrage: Could it be because yesterday was very safe? 】
The intuition of live viewers is accurate.When Yu Yue and the others walked up to Aji, Aji looked at Yu Yue and said, "Sure enough, there was no red moon last night. Thank you very much for eliminating it. The orchard has also grown fruit again, although there are not many. But I think everything is getting better."
Before Yu Yue could speak, the box behind Joshua rang out twice.
Aji was taken aback, took two steps back, and looked at Joshua: "You bastard, what the hell are you carrying?"
This is too difficult to answer.Thinking of who was in the box, Joshua opened his mouth and said nothing, and the "ghost thing" in the box made a very rude voice: "Bang bang bang bang!"
Joshua: "..."
Everyone: "..."
This time, there was even more commotion, and many townspeople also looked over. The living things in the box obviously frightened them.
Seeing that more and more people noticed the box, Aji's eyes became more suspicious, and the eyes of the townspeople changed from enthusiasm to perturbation. Yu Yue hurriedly said, "Let's go back and talk about it."
[Barrage: Yes, let's go back and talk. 】
[Barrage: Hahaha, don't look at it, that's your father!If you don't speak now, it may be because you are afraid of scaring you, and you will suffer disaster if you say "ghost things" again! 】
[Barrage: I think his father is already angry hahaha. 】
The viewers of the live broadcast were worried about Aji, but fortunately, Aji did not say anything rude.
Although he was suspicious, he obviously trusted a few people very much.After hesitating for a moment, Aji gave instructions behind him, and then led Yu Yue and others into the small town.
Perhaps it was because a few people were already familiar with this path, the walk on this path was much faster than yesterday.
Soon, Yu Yue had an illusion, as if he had lived here for a long time.
When several people entered the luxurious cabin belonging to Aji, Yu Yue noticed that Aji had cleaned and tidied the room, and the long dining table was covered with all kinds of beautiful cups and plates.
"That's also prepared for you, for the banquet." As Aji explained, he closed the door behind him and turned around. "Tell me, what did you bring?"
His voice was a little tense, as if he had expected it, he stared at Joshua very vigilantly, and said before Joshua opened the box: "We basically trust you now, so you don't have to prove anything to me. And do something dangerous, like bring some friends who are not convenient for me to meet."
Hearing this, Joshua, who had been restrained from speaking just now, looked up at him triumphantly.
Then, deliberately smiled "hehe": "It's very convenient to meet. You will like it, brother."
Aggie: "..."
Aji's face became even uglier.
"Please don't worry, there is no danger in this matter." Yu Yue reassured, and together with Ah Xiao, he closed all the curtains on the first floor, second floor, and even the attic of this room, and made sure that no light came from anywhere.
Finally, when Ah Xiao was about to cover the last window on the first floor, Ah Ji finally couldn't help asking: "Do you have to let him out? I understand, maybe you want me to meet a certain nobleman in the castle , but I guess we don't necessarily need to..."
"Smelly melon skin boy! If you can speak a few words in the town, your tail will go up to the sky! You don't even want to see your father?" Suddenly, a burst of shouting came out of the box unbearably, interrupting Aji's words .
A tall man like Adelan, who had been huddled in the box and bumped all the way, was already very upset, but at this moment when he heard his son moaning, he finally broke out.
He was obviously very prestigious when he was alive, and suddenly even Joshua straightened his back, put away his teasing expression, and hurriedly put the box down on the ground.
As for Aji, who was standing in front of the box, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide as if he had been struck by lightning.
The familiar voice scratched his eardrums, making him think he was hallucinating.
Must have been hallucinating.
Otherwise, why would the father's voice be heard?
"Let me come out soon!" When everyone was silent, the person in the box roared again, and knocked on the box with a "bang bang".
This time the sound was clearer. Aji took three steps back and knocked down the plates on the table with a "crash", and several plates shattered on the ground with a crisp explosion.
Trembling, he supported the table with one hand, pointed at the box with the other tremblingly, and turned to look at Joshua.
It looked like he had seen a ghost, but his expression was very excited.
Joshua originally wanted to tease Aji, but when he saw Aji's expression, he stopped joking, looked at him seriously, and nodded to him.
Under Joshua's affirmative gaze, Aji slowly stopped trembling. He rearranged the plates that had slipped with his right hand and stared at the box.Then, he looked at Yu Yue, his lips twitched, unable to speak, as if he was asking silently.
Yu Yue nodded: "Yes, it's Adelan, your father."
At that moment, he clearly felt that Aji's finger bones holding the cup and plate were suddenly exerted force, which almost made the plate make a crisp sound of "click".
Aji stumbled forward, knelt down in front of the box, and stroked the box with his hands.His knuckles were as white as a vampire's.
He barely restrained himself, tried to calm himself down, and opened the box, but the emotions of anticipation and fear haunted him alternately, making him unable to control his body and expression smoothly.
After a while, he put his forehead on the box and nodded.
All language seems pale at this moment.Yu Yue, Joshua, and A Xiao all realized that they had better not stay here.
Yu Yue opened the door a crack, and Ah Xiao closed the last curtain.
Joshua bent down and opened the buckle on the box for Aji with a "click", and then the three of them retreated slowly towards the door.
Before closing the door, Joshua motioned to Aji inside the door, pointing to the silver crown decoration on the wall.His original intention might be to let Aji not worry, but Aji walked up quickly, took off the decoration, and threw it into the glove box beside him.
Then he looked up to thank several people.
The only light through the crack of the door illuminated his bright red eyes.
The door is closed.
The warm sunshine fell on the three of them. At this moment, they could all feel the excitement in Aji's heart, so they also became excited.
They slowly backed away from the door and waited aside.
Ah Xiao asked with a trembling voice: "They should have a lot to say, right?"
Joshua had already calmed down, and said, "According to Uncle Adlan's temper, maybe... probably!"
Yu Yue and Ah Xiao didn't understand the meaning of Joshua's words, but they heard another burst of shouting from inside the house, followed by "pingping bang bang" and "dong dong bang bang".
Adelan's voice was mixed in the chaos, very powerful and resonant, like a bard.
"The older you get, the more rude you become! How dare you call someone a ghost before you see them!"
"I'll tell you everything right now. If you have the chance to meet the Earl in this life, you must apologize to the Earl with me!"
"But I think you need to relearn manners first!"
"Dong dong kuang kuang, crackling!"
Three people outside the door: "..."
Facing the shocked Yu Yue and A Xiao, Joshua explained: "He has always been like this, and he believes that this way can educate the best children."
[Barrage: Hahahahahaha, the educated npcs are indeed very upright. 】
[Barrage: Then this integrity is a bit miserable, right? ! 】
Aji's equally excited explanation and Adelan's rebuttal came from inside the door, interspersed with the voices of the two hugging each other and crying.
For a while, people couldn't tell whether the people inside were fighting, arguing or crying with joy.
Yu Yue couldn't help showing a worried expression. Joshua saw it and said in a low voice: "They have a very good relationship, so there is no need to worry. Both of my parents died when I was young, and it was Adelan who taught me the skills. Adelan He is a good father, and I was very envious of Aji at first. But now that I think about it, everyone’s fate is different, and everything has to be fought for by oneself.”
[Barrage: There is something in the words, "I was very envious" but it's okay hahahaha. 】
[Barrage: Respect the fate of others and live your own life well! 】
With Joshua's explanation, Yu Yue in the picture felt a little relieved, and said to the two, "I don't know how long it will take for them to reminisce. I want to go to the town to find some..." Tang.
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the door opening suddenly sounded behind him.
"Don't wait, we can't wait for a moment!"
The voice was slightly hoarse, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Yu Yue hurriedly turned around and saw that Aji had walked out of the room at some point. His eyes were black and the tip of his nose was red. He looked like he had cried a lot, but he seemed very energetic and motivated.
There was a moving light in his eyes, he was carrying a box behind him, and Joshua and Ah Xiao followed him.
"Let's go," Aggie said as he strode forward, "I'll take you and tell everyone about this."
His pace was so fast that Yu Yue, Joshua and A Xiao could hardly keep up with him.
He walked to the busiest place of the crowd, gathered everyone together, and gathered in the open space that was originally overgrown with weeds.
"Yesterday's dream is true," Aji said loudly, and the townspeople who whispered to each other fell silent, "Everything we found is true. We have always misunderstood the Earl's painstaking efforts, my father... I I have already figured out everything that happened to my father, but I will never let everyone worry with me. Now just listen to me, everyone just do their best at the Earl's banquet. I will guarantee it!"
When the townspeople heard this, they immediately cheered.
Only Yu Yue and A Xiao looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what they meant by "dream".
But before they could figure it out, they were surrounded by townspeople rushing up in groups.
"What else does the Earl need for his dinner?" someone asked.
"Ah..." Several people were stunned by the question.
"Oh, it looks like I'm not ready yet. How can I do this? I'm going to hold a banquet tonight, how can I make it in time if I'm still getting ready early in the morning?" A fat lady said loudly, "If there is anything missing, just go with Let's talk!"
"This..." Yu Yue was stunned by the enthusiasm of the townspeople. He didn't understand why they had changed so much, and he was stunned for a while, unable to tell what was missing.
After all, he also has no experience in preparing banquets.
[Barrage: Wait a minute, these townspeople have changed so much, just one Christmas Eve shouldn't be able to achieve this effect.Why are you so passionate about them all of a sudden?What happened that we don't know about? 】
[Barrage: Could it be that in just one night, they made their own strategy? 】
[Barrage: I have a hunch that the final customs clearance condition may still be in a small town...]
"There are still some stories missing, everything is missing, bring whatever you have!" Joshua stood aside and said bluntly.
"Story? Last night, we all dreamed about the Earl," one of the townspeople said excitedly, "and dreamed that he came from the orchard. After waking up, Aji took us to rummage in the orchard. We found The earl's noble coffin, and the patterns on the coffin are exactly the same as the carvings on the church door!"
"Everyone said that perhaps the former church belonged to the earl. The earl was the god who came here. He buried himself because he couldn't bear to see us suffer from death. He was like a seed, glowing with new vitality. "
"Although we don't know what kind of power made him wake up from our hearts, but this time, we will never easily let him fall asleep again!"
Hearing this, Yu Yue also thought of the pattern on the door of the earl's room and the pattern on the door of the church, and couldn't help being completely stunned.
So it turns out that the earl's door and the church's door have such a relationship.
The townspeople have rich imaginations about the unknown. Fear makes them think of scary stories, and peace and tranquility, like a living seed, urges them to think of beautiful legends.
In the stories I heard before, the earl was an ordinary person with great power, but in this version of the story told by the townspeople, the earl's identity has risen to the height of almost a god.
He didn't know whether their guess was true or not, and he didn't think it was an exaggeration, but he was very happy for the Earl from the bottom of his heart.Regardless of the facts, he believed that the earl deserved to be praised by the townspeople.His very existence is to make the townspeople believe in beauty.
This is the real power of story.
【Barrage:!There is really still a clue, can this clue be dug up by npc? 】
[Barrage: As a resident player of the A-level book, I have something to say, if the strategy value is high, the npc will indeed help to find clues, which is not surprising at all. 】
On the screen, Yu Yue finally came to his senses.
"Yes." Standing in front of the crowd, his eyes were shining in the sunlight, "Please help us arrange the banquet together."
"Okay!" Someone immediately responded to him.
"Let's go, everyone get ready!" Everyone spontaneously started to organize.
"Ah—look there!"
After a scream, everyone was stunned, looking at the spectacle not far away.
I saw the huge fruit tree outside the town stretching all the way to the castle, crackling like a lamp, and producing bright red fruits.These fruits are not inferior even in the face of the scorching sun. They are like flaming lanterns, burning all the way to the end--from a distance, the castle standing on the top of the cliff is decorated with lights, like a huge flower hanging full of flowers. Tree of gifts.
They are like beating hearts and flowing blood vessels, connecting from the small town to the castle.
For a while, no one spoke, everyone's breathing intertwined, listening to each other's ridiculously fast heartbeat.
"The fruit has grown again." Ah Xiao murmured in a low voice.
"Yeah." Yu Yue also said blankly.
Only the two of them are players here, but no one analyzed why, as if it was a natural thing.
The Count wanted them to grow so the vampires would stay sane, and the townspeople wanted them to grow so they could prepare gifts for the Count—because everyone here wanted it to grow, and they did.
Another voice broke the silence.
It was Joshua, and he said hoarsely to Aggie: "Hey, brother, you won't stop me from doing things this time, will you?"
"I'm not stopping you." Aji said.
Hearing their conversation, the people who were originally infected by the spectacle finally came to their senses, looked at each other, and looked at the two people standing in the front.
When they saw that Aji and Joshua stood together in such a harmonious way, they couldn't help showing surprised expressions.
"Oh, it's Joshua and Aji who are reconciled as before!" The townspeople's attitude towards Joshua has obviously changed, and someone shouted, "Looking at the current scene makes me feel like I've gone back to the past. Come out, everyone's life will be better and better, I think Lord Adlan's spirit in heaven will also be happy!"
Before the man finished speaking, the box behind Aji shook twice in annoyance.
The smile on Aji's face froze, and then he showed his standard decent expression, commanding everyone: "Okay! The banquet is going to be held tonight, everyone, don't keep your best skills, do whatever you want! We don't have time! If you want me to say, I already knew that you have been preparing for this day for a long time. Saman’s family has also prepared a lot of men’s clothes? Right now, the beautiful girls and boys are all dressed up. Bring all the delicious drinks, take out the most beautiful table and tablecloth, everyone follow me."
"And me," Joshua had already changed into decent clothes, wearing a beautiful brick-red cape, and said in a very humble voice that was completely different from his usual style, "I am I thought it was a perfect song, but now I find that we need everyone to work together to provide me with more materials and stories, so why not let me listen to this song for you first.”
"Let's listen while walking!" Someone suggested.
"Okay! Let's go together!" Everyone responded, "Take all the fruits here."
"Wait, wait a minute!" Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Yu Yue hurriedly stopped Aji and asked the most important question, "Is there any extra sugar in town?"
"Sugar?" Aji, who was at the forefront of the crowd, glanced at Yu Yue, "Sucrose and white sugar are both more precious than gold, and only nobles can afford one or two dollars."
Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, and his heart sank.
However, before he could speak, Aji spoke again.
"But—is this the Earl's request?" Aji said, "The sweetness we can feel now is all given by the Earl. If this is the Earl's request, we can get anything, even if it is given There are not many such precious things, but keeping them sweet to their hearts—hey, beekeeper, where is your home?" Everyone laughed.
"Everyone, take out all the sweet things!"
Joshua also raised the corners of his mouth amidst laughter, and pressed the first note.The red lanterns burn all the way from the root to the end—from a distance, the castle standing on the top of the cliff is decorated with lights, like a huge tree full of gifts.
【Barrage: Although I am very touched, can this really pass the level...】
In the picture, Yu Yue proposed to "add sugar", which surprised the few people who came to watch.
"Add, add sugar? Why add sugar?" Lin Yin, who has always been steady, stuttered.
"Adding sugar will taste better." Yu Yue couldn't explain more, so he could only say this.
As he spoke, he demonstrated the use of the machine for several people. He put the boiled and peeled tomatoes just now into the partition with a cloth pocket in the middle, and then turned the crank handle heavily.As he moved, the blade and the bamboo head sank slowly, pressing against the bamboo basket below, and the fresh and juicy tomato pulp was squeezed in the middle, overflowing bright red clear juice, filtered by the cloth bag, and then All are collected into the barrel below along the bamboo weaving pattern.
He put the sucrose in his hand into the funnel. The sucrose fell on the top of the head seat, was scraped by the rotating blade, and soon turned into powder, mixed with the sticky juice and dripped together.
The whole process is very smooth, and even has a certain aesthetic.
Perhaps this operation process was too tempting, Hui Hui, A Da and Gou Zhu, who had become vampires, couldn't help but sniff their noses.
"Not to mention, Brother Yu just has an idea," Gou Zhu approached with greedy eyes, "Can you let me taste it? I'm a vampire now, maybe the taste is the same as Earl's."
"Crack." Before he finished speaking, Huihui pushed his head away: "You have a good idea! The sucrose is almost gone!"
This sentence is telling the truth. In this luxurious back kitchen, there are all kinds of condiments, but there are not many such delicate cans filled with sucrose.Apparently, sucrose is the rarest thing in the whole kitchen, as if it were a precious condiment.
Yu Yue, who discovered this, pursed his lips, carefully moved the bucket of tomato juice to a corner and hid it, and then said: "In the daytime, let's find some fruits and some sugar."
He already had a tub of sweetened tomato juice, but he wasn't sure if it would be enough.
After all, the Earl was seriously injured, and his heart was bleeding so much, he didn't know how much tomato juice he needed.
On the side, Gou Zhu was disappointed that he couldn't feast on the food.Instead, Lin Yin came over and asked again in a low voice, "Are you sure this is the correct answer?"
"I'm sure." Yu Yue also nodded again.
This time, hearing his affirmation, even Lin Yin was somewhat convinced, so he nodded.
[Barrage: Although I don't think it's that simple, but the little brother is so sure, could it be that he saw something in the earl's memory? 】
[Barrage: Did the boss like to eat candy when he was a child? 】
【Barrage:? ? ? The boss is so cute?I do not believe! 】
[Barrage: I don't believe it either.Seeing all the way to the present, he is quite confident. It would be ridiculous if the car overturned. 】
[Bullet screen: Front article, if he didn't roll over, you'd be laughing. 】
【Barrage:? ? ?If you can pass the level with tomato juice alone, I'll give you my head, okay? 】
[Barrage: To put it mildly, I also think it's a bit unreliable. 】
[Barrage: The answer to tomato juice, the housekeeper said yes, and the earl also said no problem, what are you worrying about? 】
The live viewers didn't understand why Yu Yue insisted on using sugar-sweetened tomato juice to pass the level.
All of a sudden, tomato juice became the target of public criticism, and everyone began to pay attention to tomato juice, and fought over whether they could use it to clear the level.
In contrast, the players in the dungeon are relatively calm.
Because they need to complete the task as soon as possible, they feel uneasy even though they have a daytime for preparation.
Everyone's mentality is the same - get through this night as soon as possible, and pass the level as soon as possible.
In the huge kitchen of the castle, the busy figures of several players have never stopped. When the morning sun just came out of the window, they used the machine made by Yu Yue to squeeze out ten buckets of tomato juice—it’s not because they were inefficient , but the tomato is gone.
"Aside from looking for tomatoes, do we need to prepare other food? What else do we need to do?" Ada and Axiao, who had been fighting for tomatoes with the vampires outside the door and delivering tomatoes, stopped at the kitchen door and asked out of breath.
Their unintentional words stopped everyone from asking.
That's right, the butler just asked them to prepare for the banquet, but he didn't elaborate on how to prepare.
Last night, they took it for granted that all they needed to do was prepare the food and the songs.
Thinking about it now, it may not be that simple.
How should the banquet venue, invited guests, tableware, other food, and even a series of procedures be arranged?
After a busy night, everyone looked at each other.
They thought they were close to the truth, but at this time they realized that the task was still more difficult than imagined.
Yu Yue touched his face, his pair of blue-green pupils had fully recovered, and he couldn't see the bloody shadow from yesterday.The sunlight outside the window shone warmly on his body, it didn't hurt him at all, but instead covered his whole body with a fluffy golden light.
"How about this. I'll go to the town to find tomatoes and sugar, and ask Aggie about the banquet by the way. There was no blood moon last night, and it was a peaceful night. They must believe us and the count." He said Be humane to a few.
"They must trust the count."
At this time, a very powerful voice sounded at the same time.
A few people were taken aback, and looked towards the door, only to see the tall Adlan standing in the shadow of the door, with red tomato juice remaining at the corner of his mouth.
Yu Yue hurriedly turned around: "Adelan."
The man who had fully recovered his mind nodded to him, and said solemnly: "I heard what you just said. If you want to ask Aji for help, I will go with you. I will listen to everything he does in town Having said that, all this is all my fault, the father made a bad start to his son... I heard that brat accused you in public and caused you a lot of grievances, if he still dares not believe you this time, look at me How to teach him a lesson!"
"Ah," Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "He hasn't been through this before..."
"There's no need to say anything," cried Adrian, "I'll go with you!"
[Barrage: Hahahahaha. 】
[Bullet screen: Don't say anything else, just say that the little brother has conquered so many npcs in this dungeon, so he shouldn't be eliminated. 】
[Bullet screen: You are right, after all, you pulled out the father who was almost lying in the coffin. 】
"Thank you for your kindness," Yu Yue hesitated, "but now that you have become a vampire, it may not be convenient for you to walk in the sun."
"No matter what method is used." Facing the difficulties, Adelan did not flinch and was very determined, "I must let them know what happened."
While talking, Carl and Joshua also came in, and Carl put his hand on Sucia's shoulder: "Son, we all think what he said is right, we must retell this story to everyone in the town , not just singing at banquets."
Hearing what Adelan and Carl said, Lin Yin and Yu Yue looked at each other.
They have a point.
The appearance of these townspeople provided them with a new way of thinking.
It was these townspeople who had actually held a banquet with the Earl, and it was these townspeople who continued the tradition of the banquet. Instead of inquiring around, why not persuade them directly and seek their help?
The few people who felt that they were encountering difficulties just now cheered up in an instant.
[Bullet screen: Yes, it seems that after the goodwill in the early stage is enough, the npcs have come to help clear the level. 】
【Barrage: I just don't know how they will bring Adlan to the town? 】
In fact, as long as one really wants to do something, one can always find a good way.
Several people worked together to search in the castle room, and finally found a box big enough for Adlan to curl up in.
The tall Adelan shrank his hands and feet and squatted into the box, not feeling wronged, but with a solemn expression, as if he was going to do something very important.
Originally, Lin Yin wanted to go with Yu Yue, but because he was worried about Gou Zhu and other "people", Joshua and A Xiao finally accompanied Yu Yue on the road.
Joshua has been stealing chickens and dogs since he was a child. He does not appear to be physically strong, but he has great strength.He easily put the box hiding Adelan on his back and whistled.
He even hugged his accordion.
When he walked out of the gate of the castle, Adlain said in a muffled voice in the box: "Please tell me the music you have composed. After so many years, I am still willing to be the earl's bard."
The sky is already bright, and the warm sunshine is spreading on the small mountain path.
A young man in a moon-white gown is leading a down-and-out musician, who is carrying a bard on his back.We hummed the old stories together, and walked back to the town from the castle thousands of years ago.
Along the way, Yu Yue thought a lot.
He was thinking about Aggie's reaction when he saw his father, and how the townspeople would react to what they had said.
But all these worries disappeared without a trace when he walked to the outskirts of the town.
I saw countless townspeople standing in the once barren orchard.With bamboo baskets in their hands and picking tools, they plucked huge tomatoes from their branches.
Aji was standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, directing with his hands crossed.
"Everyone, move faster," Aji's voice came from afar, and he said loudly, "I remember that this fruit is very important. My father once presented this fruit to the earl as a rare food. Perhaps They'll need it today!"
Here, Yu Yue, Joshua, and A Xiao all stopped, and they looked at each other strangely - Aji obviously paid more attention to commitment than they imagined, and was really helping with his heart.
"They also seem to be helping us collect tomatoes." Ah Xiaoyong said.
Joshua stood beside Yu Yue, silent.But he looked at Aji in the distance, no longer hostile.
Yu Yue nodded: "Then let's go there now."
Before he finished speaking, Aji, who was standing in the distance, turned his head to look at them as if he had sensed something.When he saw Yu Yue and Joshua walking towards him carrying a strange big box, he frowned.
Aji lowered his arms and greeted him.
"We brought a person. But it's not convenient for him to come out now. Can we go to your house?" Yu Yue shouted from afar.
Aji stood still, his eyes suspicious.Behind him, many townspeople turned their heads and saw that it was Yu Yue who came, so they raised their hands to greet them kindly.
[Barrage: Huh? 】
[Barrage: Everyone's attitude seems to have suddenly changed for the better. 】
[Barrage: Could it be because yesterday was very safe? 】
The intuition of live viewers is accurate.When Yu Yue and the others walked up to Aji, Aji looked at Yu Yue and said, "Sure enough, there was no red moon last night. Thank you very much for eliminating it. The orchard has also grown fruit again, although there are not many. But I think everything is getting better."
Before Yu Yue could speak, the box behind Joshua rang out twice.
Aji was taken aback, took two steps back, and looked at Joshua: "You bastard, what the hell are you carrying?"
This is too difficult to answer.Thinking of who was in the box, Joshua opened his mouth and said nothing, and the "ghost thing" in the box made a very rude voice: "Bang bang bang bang!"
Joshua: "..."
Everyone: "..."
This time, there was even more commotion, and many townspeople also looked over. The living things in the box obviously frightened them.
Seeing that more and more people noticed the box, Aji's eyes became more suspicious, and the eyes of the townspeople changed from enthusiasm to perturbation. Yu Yue hurriedly said, "Let's go back and talk about it."
[Barrage: Yes, let's go back and talk. 】
[Barrage: Hahaha, don't look at it, that's your father!If you don't speak now, it may be because you are afraid of scaring you, and you will suffer disaster if you say "ghost things" again! 】
[Barrage: I think his father is already angry hahaha. 】
The viewers of the live broadcast were worried about Aji, but fortunately, Aji did not say anything rude.
Although he was suspicious, he obviously trusted a few people very much.After hesitating for a moment, Aji gave instructions behind him, and then led Yu Yue and others into the small town.
Perhaps it was because a few people were already familiar with this path, the walk on this path was much faster than yesterday.
Soon, Yu Yue had an illusion, as if he had lived here for a long time.
When several people entered the luxurious cabin belonging to Aji, Yu Yue noticed that Aji had cleaned and tidied the room, and the long dining table was covered with all kinds of beautiful cups and plates.
"That's also prepared for you, for the banquet." As Aji explained, he closed the door behind him and turned around. "Tell me, what did you bring?"
His voice was a little tense, as if he had expected it, he stared at Joshua very vigilantly, and said before Joshua opened the box: "We basically trust you now, so you don't have to prove anything to me. And do something dangerous, like bring some friends who are not convenient for me to meet."
Hearing this, Joshua, who had been restrained from speaking just now, looked up at him triumphantly.
Then, deliberately smiled "hehe": "It's very convenient to meet. You will like it, brother."
Aggie: "..."
Aji's face became even uglier.
"Please don't worry, there is no danger in this matter." Yu Yue reassured, and together with Ah Xiao, he closed all the curtains on the first floor, second floor, and even the attic of this room, and made sure that no light came from anywhere.
Finally, when Ah Xiao was about to cover the last window on the first floor, Ah Ji finally couldn't help asking: "Do you have to let him out? I understand, maybe you want me to meet a certain nobleman in the castle , but I guess we don't necessarily need to..."
"Smelly melon skin boy! If you can speak a few words in the town, your tail will go up to the sky! You don't even want to see your father?" Suddenly, a burst of shouting came out of the box unbearably, interrupting Aji's words .
A tall man like Adelan, who had been huddled in the box and bumped all the way, was already very upset, but at this moment when he heard his son moaning, he finally broke out.
He was obviously very prestigious when he was alive, and suddenly even Joshua straightened his back, put away his teasing expression, and hurriedly put the box down on the ground.
As for Aji, who was standing in front of the box, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide as if he had been struck by lightning.
The familiar voice scratched his eardrums, making him think he was hallucinating.
Must have been hallucinating.
Otherwise, why would the father's voice be heard?
"Let me come out soon!" When everyone was silent, the person in the box roared again, and knocked on the box with a "bang bang".
This time the sound was clearer. Aji took three steps back and knocked down the plates on the table with a "crash", and several plates shattered on the ground with a crisp explosion.
Trembling, he supported the table with one hand, pointed at the box with the other tremblingly, and turned to look at Joshua.
It looked like he had seen a ghost, but his expression was very excited.
Joshua originally wanted to tease Aji, but when he saw Aji's expression, he stopped joking, looked at him seriously, and nodded to him.
Under Joshua's affirmative gaze, Aji slowly stopped trembling. He rearranged the plates that had slipped with his right hand and stared at the box.Then, he looked at Yu Yue, his lips twitched, unable to speak, as if he was asking silently.
Yu Yue nodded: "Yes, it's Adelan, your father."
At that moment, he clearly felt that Aji's finger bones holding the cup and plate were suddenly exerted force, which almost made the plate make a crisp sound of "click".
Aji stumbled forward, knelt down in front of the box, and stroked the box with his hands.His knuckles were as white as a vampire's.
He barely restrained himself, tried to calm himself down, and opened the box, but the emotions of anticipation and fear haunted him alternately, making him unable to control his body and expression smoothly.
After a while, he put his forehead on the box and nodded.
All language seems pale at this moment.Yu Yue, Joshua, and A Xiao all realized that they had better not stay here.
Yu Yue opened the door a crack, and Ah Xiao closed the last curtain.
Joshua bent down and opened the buckle on the box for Aji with a "click", and then the three of them retreated slowly towards the door.
Before closing the door, Joshua motioned to Aji inside the door, pointing to the silver crown decoration on the wall.His original intention might be to let Aji not worry, but Aji walked up quickly, took off the decoration, and threw it into the glove box beside him.
Then he looked up to thank several people.
The only light through the crack of the door illuminated his bright red eyes.
The door is closed.
The warm sunshine fell on the three of them. At this moment, they could all feel the excitement in Aji's heart, so they also became excited.
They slowly backed away from the door and waited aside.
Ah Xiao asked with a trembling voice: "They should have a lot to say, right?"
Joshua had already calmed down, and said, "According to Uncle Adlan's temper, maybe... probably!"
Yu Yue and Ah Xiao didn't understand the meaning of Joshua's words, but they heard another burst of shouting from inside the house, followed by "pingping bang bang" and "dong dong bang bang".
Adelan's voice was mixed in the chaos, very powerful and resonant, like a bard.
"The older you get, the more rude you become! How dare you call someone a ghost before you see them!"
"I'll tell you everything right now. If you have the chance to meet the Earl in this life, you must apologize to the Earl with me!"
"But I think you need to relearn manners first!"
"Dong dong kuang kuang, crackling!"
Three people outside the door: "..."
Facing the shocked Yu Yue and A Xiao, Joshua explained: "He has always been like this, and he believes that this way can educate the best children."
[Barrage: Hahahahahaha, the educated npcs are indeed very upright. 】
[Barrage: Then this integrity is a bit miserable, right? ! 】
Aji's equally excited explanation and Adelan's rebuttal came from inside the door, interspersed with the voices of the two hugging each other and crying.
For a while, people couldn't tell whether the people inside were fighting, arguing or crying with joy.
Yu Yue couldn't help showing a worried expression. Joshua saw it and said in a low voice: "They have a very good relationship, so there is no need to worry. Both of my parents died when I was young, and it was Adelan who taught me the skills. Adelan He is a good father, and I was very envious of Aji at first. But now that I think about it, everyone’s fate is different, and everything has to be fought for by oneself.”
[Barrage: There is something in the words, "I was very envious" but it's okay hahahaha. 】
[Barrage: Respect the fate of others and live your own life well! 】
With Joshua's explanation, Yu Yue in the picture felt a little relieved, and said to the two, "I don't know how long it will take for them to reminisce. I want to go to the town to find some..." Tang.
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the door opening suddenly sounded behind him.
"Don't wait, we can't wait for a moment!"
The voice was slightly hoarse, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Yu Yue hurriedly turned around and saw that Aji had walked out of the room at some point. His eyes were black and the tip of his nose was red. He looked like he had cried a lot, but he seemed very energetic and motivated.
There was a moving light in his eyes, he was carrying a box behind him, and Joshua and Ah Xiao followed him.
"Let's go," Aggie said as he strode forward, "I'll take you and tell everyone about this."
His pace was so fast that Yu Yue, Joshua and A Xiao could hardly keep up with him.
He walked to the busiest place of the crowd, gathered everyone together, and gathered in the open space that was originally overgrown with weeds.
"Yesterday's dream is true," Aji said loudly, and the townspeople who whispered to each other fell silent, "Everything we found is true. We have always misunderstood the Earl's painstaking efforts, my father... I I have already figured out everything that happened to my father, but I will never let everyone worry with me. Now just listen to me, everyone just do their best at the Earl's banquet. I will guarantee it!"
When the townspeople heard this, they immediately cheered.
Only Yu Yue and A Xiao looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what they meant by "dream".
But before they could figure it out, they were surrounded by townspeople rushing up in groups.
"What else does the Earl need for his dinner?" someone asked.
"Ah..." Several people were stunned by the question.
"Oh, it looks like I'm not ready yet. How can I do this? I'm going to hold a banquet tonight, how can I make it in time if I'm still getting ready early in the morning?" A fat lady said loudly, "If there is anything missing, just go with Let's talk!"
"This..." Yu Yue was stunned by the enthusiasm of the townspeople. He didn't understand why they had changed so much, and he was stunned for a while, unable to tell what was missing.
After all, he also has no experience in preparing banquets.
[Barrage: Wait a minute, these townspeople have changed so much, just one Christmas Eve shouldn't be able to achieve this effect.Why are you so passionate about them all of a sudden?What happened that we don't know about? 】
[Barrage: Could it be that in just one night, they made their own strategy? 】
[Barrage: I have a hunch that the final customs clearance condition may still be in a small town...]
"There are still some stories missing, everything is missing, bring whatever you have!" Joshua stood aside and said bluntly.
"Story? Last night, we all dreamed about the Earl," one of the townspeople said excitedly, "and dreamed that he came from the orchard. After waking up, Aji took us to rummage in the orchard. We found The earl's noble coffin, and the patterns on the coffin are exactly the same as the carvings on the church door!"
"Everyone said that perhaps the former church belonged to the earl. The earl was the god who came here. He buried himself because he couldn't bear to see us suffer from death. He was like a seed, glowing with new vitality. "
"Although we don't know what kind of power made him wake up from our hearts, but this time, we will never easily let him fall asleep again!"
Hearing this, Yu Yue also thought of the pattern on the door of the earl's room and the pattern on the door of the church, and couldn't help being completely stunned.
So it turns out that the earl's door and the church's door have such a relationship.
The townspeople have rich imaginations about the unknown. Fear makes them think of scary stories, and peace and tranquility, like a living seed, urges them to think of beautiful legends.
In the stories I heard before, the earl was an ordinary person with great power, but in this version of the story told by the townspeople, the earl's identity has risen to the height of almost a god.
He didn't know whether their guess was true or not, and he didn't think it was an exaggeration, but he was very happy for the Earl from the bottom of his heart.Regardless of the facts, he believed that the earl deserved to be praised by the townspeople.His very existence is to make the townspeople believe in beauty.
This is the real power of story.
【Barrage:!There is really still a clue, can this clue be dug up by npc? 】
[Barrage: As a resident player of the A-level book, I have something to say, if the strategy value is high, the npc will indeed help to find clues, which is not surprising at all. 】
On the screen, Yu Yue finally came to his senses.
"Yes." Standing in front of the crowd, his eyes were shining in the sunlight, "Please help us arrange the banquet together."
"Okay!" Someone immediately responded to him.
"Let's go, everyone get ready!" Everyone spontaneously started to organize.
"Ah—look there!"
After a scream, everyone was stunned, looking at the spectacle not far away.
I saw the huge fruit tree outside the town stretching all the way to the castle, crackling like a lamp, and producing bright red fruits.These fruits are not inferior even in the face of the scorching sun. They are like flaming lanterns, burning all the way to the end--from a distance, the castle standing on the top of the cliff is decorated with lights, like a huge flower hanging full of flowers. Tree of gifts.
They are like beating hearts and flowing blood vessels, connecting from the small town to the castle.
For a while, no one spoke, everyone's breathing intertwined, listening to each other's ridiculously fast heartbeat.
"The fruit has grown again." Ah Xiao murmured in a low voice.
"Yeah." Yu Yue also said blankly.
Only the two of them are players here, but no one analyzed why, as if it was a natural thing.
The Count wanted them to grow so the vampires would stay sane, and the townspeople wanted them to grow so they could prepare gifts for the Count—because everyone here wanted it to grow, and they did.
Another voice broke the silence.
It was Joshua, and he said hoarsely to Aggie: "Hey, brother, you won't stop me from doing things this time, will you?"
"I'm not stopping you." Aji said.
Hearing their conversation, the people who were originally infected by the spectacle finally came to their senses, looked at each other, and looked at the two people standing in the front.
When they saw that Aji and Joshua stood together in such a harmonious way, they couldn't help showing surprised expressions.
"Oh, it's Joshua and Aji who are reconciled as before!" The townspeople's attitude towards Joshua has obviously changed, and someone shouted, "Looking at the current scene makes me feel like I've gone back to the past. Come out, everyone's life will be better and better, I think Lord Adlan's spirit in heaven will also be happy!"
Before the man finished speaking, the box behind Aji shook twice in annoyance.
The smile on Aji's face froze, and then he showed his standard decent expression, commanding everyone: "Okay! The banquet is going to be held tonight, everyone, don't keep your best skills, do whatever you want! We don't have time! If you want me to say, I already knew that you have been preparing for this day for a long time. Saman’s family has also prepared a lot of men’s clothes? Right now, the beautiful girls and boys are all dressed up. Bring all the delicious drinks, take out the most beautiful table and tablecloth, everyone follow me."
"And me," Joshua had already changed into decent clothes, wearing a beautiful brick-red cape, and said in a very humble voice that was completely different from his usual style, "I am I thought it was a perfect song, but now I find that we need everyone to work together to provide me with more materials and stories, so why not let me listen to this song for you first.”
"Let's listen while walking!" Someone suggested.
"Okay! Let's go together!" Everyone responded, "Take all the fruits here."
"Wait, wait a minute!" Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Yu Yue hurriedly stopped Aji and asked the most important question, "Is there any extra sugar in town?"
"Sugar?" Aji, who was at the forefront of the crowd, glanced at Yu Yue, "Sucrose and white sugar are both more precious than gold, and only nobles can afford one or two dollars."
Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, and his heart sank.
However, before he could speak, Aji spoke again.
"But—is this the Earl's request?" Aji said, "The sweetness we can feel now is all given by the Earl. If this is the Earl's request, we can get anything, even if it is given There are not many such precious things, but keeping them sweet to their hearts—hey, beekeeper, where is your home?" Everyone laughed.
"Everyone, take out all the sweet things!"
Joshua also raised the corners of his mouth amidst laughter, and pressed the first note.The red lanterns burn all the way from the root to the end—from a distance, the castle standing on the top of the cliff is decorated with lights, like a huge tree full of gifts.
