Chapter 2015: He is a good man

"Poppy, go for a drink tonight?" A calm middle-aged official patted Poppy on the shoulder from the back of the Ministry of War.
"Master Lucian." Bobby looked at the official with a bit of surprise. This was the deputy chief of the Ministry of War, the real power figure.
On the day he ordered the attack on the orcs and the elves, he happened to leave home due to physical reasons, so he escaped the disaster.
"Don't be cautious, let's have two drinks. Hector is gone, and there are not many people in our courtyard who can drink." Lucian said with a smile, a little sad in his smile.
Hector is Bobby's senior, and this Master Lucian has also had a few drinks with them, and has a good relationship with senior.
Bobby nodded slightly and said, "Okay, just yesterday I found a new tavern on Romo Street. Their wine is the most delicious in my life. I'll take you to try it."
"Oh, there is a new tavern on Romo Street?" Lucian was a little surprised. This street has gradually become lonely like a name over the years. He has not been there for a long time to drink.
"I also went there by accident last night, and I entered the tavern only after smelling the wine. It is indeed a rare wine." Bobby said.
"Okay, let's try it." Lucian nodded.
The two got into Lucian's carriage and went straight to the Saipan tavern.
"That's it." Poppy got up and opened the door to Lucian.
"That's it?" Lucian looked at the tavern, looking ordinary in appearance.
"Yes." Poppy nodded.
"Then go in and have a look." Lucian got out of the carriage, he really wanted to drink.
The Ministry of War has undergone drastic changes in the past few days. Although he escaped a catastrophe due to illness, he has also lost many colleagues and friends. The people in the Ministry of War are panicked and he is also upset.
Hector was a colleague he had worked with for more than 30 years. He was the same group who entered the Department of Defense that year. He often drank together during these years. He didn't expect him to pass away suddenly, which really made him a little unacceptable.
Coming out of the Ministry of War today, I just happened to see Bobby. He knew that this little brother often drank with Hector. They also drank several times together. They were very good to him, so they invited him to drink together. Ktor.
Unlike the lively and noisy tavern across the street, this tavern is very quiet, or...somewhat deserted.
Bobby opened the door of the tavern, and there was no guest in the tavern. Only the tavern owner was standing behind the bar and was wiping the glass.
McGonagall raised his eyes and recognized Bobby, and judging from his slightly humble attitude, the middle-aged man who came in behind him had a much larger official position than him.
And McGonagall quickly recognized Lucian, the deputy chief of the practical faction of the Ministry of War, and he had a good impression in Alex's memory.
This is the real power figure of the Ministry of War, the kind who can master the core secrets.
"Welcome." McGonagall smiled slightly.
Lucian took a look at the new tavern. The decoration was not luxurious, but it was still comfortable. The warm yellow oil lamp light made people feel comfortable, and the tavern was very warm, making people want to take off their thick coats as soon as they entered the door.
The boss is a young man in his thirties. He looks plain and has no memory points. He belongs to the kind of person who will be ignored when thrown into the crowd, but he seems to be kind and kind.
A new tavern, a young owner, and only two guests. This made Lucian's expectations fall to the bottom. It seems that Bobby's taste is still far from Hector's.
"My lord, let's sit here." Bobby led Lucian to sit down near the door. He could see the change in Lucian's expression, and he didn't panic. The tavern looked unremarkable. That's because Haven't served wine yet.
"May I have something to drink?" McGonagall asked with a smile.
"My lord, I drank Moutai yesterday, should I order a bottle of this today?" Bobby looked at Lucian and asked.
"Okay." Lucian nodded, and glanced at the very simple wine list behind the bar. There were only two wines, Moutai 2000 copper coins a pint, whiskey 2000 copper coins a bottle, the price is not low.
In addition to the two wines, there are three dishes to go with, the prices are much cheaper than the drinks.
This wine list looks really shabby.
He even doubted that Bobby's taste had dropped to this level rapidly after Hector's death?
"I want a bottle of Moutai, and then the three different dishes are the same." Bobby looked at McGonagall and said.
"Okay, wait a minute." McGonagall nodded, turned around and went into the kitchen. After a while, he came out with three kinds of food and a bottle of Moutai.
Lucian's gaze was first attracted by the three appetizers, a plate of peanuts, which is a common appetizer in pubs, but most pubs will come with a plate of peanuts, and this pub sells it as an appetizer.
The other two dishes are cold pig ears and cold pig tongue. Just listening to the name of the dish, he feels that he has no appetite, and even vaguely feels a little sick.
However, when the dishes were on the table, the thin sliced ​​pig ears and tongues were wrapped in red chili oil, and the spicy flavor rushed over his face, which made his throat roll.
On the side, Bobby had already skillfully picked up the bottle of Moutai, untied the red cloth, and then reached out to unplug the cork.
The aroma of the wine sealed in the bottle suddenly spread.
"This scent?!" Lucian glanced over, looking at the wine bottle in Bobby's hand with a little surprise. The strong aroma of wine is so attractive.
Poppy poured the wine into the glass, and the clear wine swayed slightly in the crystal glass.
"Please." Bobby held the wine glass in both hands and gently placed it in front of Lucian.
Lucian leaned closer and sniffed, still looking incredible, looking at Bobby and said, "This wine...what kind of wine is it?"
"Moutai should be a kind of grain wine." Poppy said.
"Just smell it, you know it's a good wine, but Hector can't taste it anymore." Lucian sighed lightly and took a sip from the glass.
The taste of the wine is delicate and soft, clear and sweet, and it is so silky as it slides between the lips and teeth.
Lucian is not good at wine, but he has also drunk many fine wines, but even the fine wines he drank in the palace, he has never been so amazing.
The scent of wine was dim and fascinating. In a trance, he seemed to see that when he first entered the Ministry of War, he was very energetic and said that he was going to do a big business. After a few decades...
After a long time, Lucian opened his eyes, eyes flickering with tears, and suffocated the rest of the wine in the glass.
Bobby glanced at him, did not speak, and bored the wine in his glass with one sip, and then silently filled Lucian with it.
"He's a good person, it's a pity to leave like this, too sudden." Lucian said softly while looking at the full glass of wine in front of him.
