The bartender seery, Lestrade moved to flip the table over, but a bottle was placed before him He was already wasted, but he could still see that it was black undy Thirty bottles were produced annually It was a rare luxury

A figure sat before him One could see frorace Voice gentle, he asked, ”Hey, friend, ood harvest recently, and I want to celebrate I need a friend to share with”
