Chapter 70: Possibilities

Shock! At the last words of the Wine Master Lan Jue felt the surprise vibrate to his very core He stared slack-jawed

For an avid lover of wine to have this opportunity – to taste a wine actually created by one of the Three Gods of Wine – it didn’talmost unspeakable He was happier even than that day he’d had the Romanee-Conti

In the former era, bottles of Romanee-Conti were produced in the thousands per year Products of the Master Henri Jayer, however, only nuardless of classification! It was an experience that could not be measured with any amount of money

“Thank you,” Lan Jue stated, simply and earnestly

The Wine Master smiled contentedly “Come, drink”

“I don’t really want to”

“It’s already opened,” the Wine Master insisted “It’ll spoil otherwise It has to be finished as soon as possible”

“Actually, I meant I’d rather take it home and enjoy it carefully,” Lan Jue said “What do you think?”

The bottle had done it’s job Before discovering it was the product of Henri Jayer, he knew only that it was a village wine from 1997 It’s low classification didn’t detract, however, froet his troubles

“So go on then, what do you want lass and, setting it down, stared pointedly at the Wine Master

“You’re that sure I want so from you?”

Lan Jue’s eyes narrowed, similar to his expression the first time he’d sipped the exquisite wine “It can’t be easy to part with a wine froenerous I’d be truly happy”

The Wine Master laughed “You always talk about how stingy I aenerous? So in fact you guess correctly, there is a request I’d like to make of you The Clairvoyant has discovered that someone from a nearby planet is attempted to acquire another bottle froo see for ift In the three alliances there are only a select feho possess such exeh these discoveries we can uncover the secrets of these ifts back to ht “Truly?”

The Wine Master nodded “Wine isn’t justI’d joke about”

“Two questions,” Lan Jue began “First, you’ve had wine like this the whole time and you’ve never shared before?! And second, you actually take advantage of the Clairvoyan’ts powers to find wine?”

The Wine Master gave hi to say?”

Lan Jue broke in to a peel of laughter, shooting his old friend a big thued a look, before starting to howl in laughter

“So you agree?” The Wine Master asked again, recovering froed “With your powers, you still need my help?”

“The Clairvoyant’s divinations were somehow cut short near the end of his vision,” the Wine Master said “You should understand what thiswall’ , and more than that how could you enjoy the fruits if you don’t do the labor?”
