Chapter 27 Part4 (2/2)
”Just sell me some stuff.”
”Ah, how embarra.s.sing.”
”I want the bone of a wine manufacturer. Please cooperate like you promised.”
”A wine manufacturer!?”
Pleine, whose head had been filled with ways of teasing Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, changed immediately! She pushed her body across the counter in an instant and tightly grabbed Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's bony hand.
”Are you going to create a winery!? Ah, now that I think about it, you told me that you cleared out an entire winery... There's a vineyard that's still alive! Are the winery's facilities still intact?”
”Correct answer.”
”But you usually wouldn't even think to create wine from there again...!”
”I have some manpower.”
”Keuk, Kerr Century's wine... They're renowned for their extremely sweet and delicious wine that's created through their special ripening process. Ripening them for dozens of years may be impossible, but if you continue to go in that direction...! No, I have to find that bone no matter what, no matter what...!”
Pleine seemed to talk a lot more than usual, and eventually, she was lost in her own little world. However, when Lee s.h.i.+n Woo engaged her in conversation, Pleine stood up suddenly and yelled.
”I'll find it no matter what!”
”Ooh...”
”I'll give you some books on wine, so please read those while you're waiting! You know how important theory is!”
”Ah, I understand.”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who was frightened by Pleine's sudden drive, meekly sat down and perused the books she'd given him. Before he could work on replicating Kerr Century Winery's technique, he needed to have a basic understanding of wine, so these books, which laid out the basics for him, were incredibly helpful.
He quickly read through a few volumes, and when he thought about buying these books and going home, he raised his head.
”I found it!”
Pleine's eyes glimmered, and stuck out a few bones towards him. There were two level 1 bones, one level 2 bone, and surprisingly, one level 4 elite bone.
”Fortunately, I had these in storage. Why are you so surprised? The reason for the Kerr Century Winery's groundbreaking technique and security was because it was protected by a renowned family of magicians for generations.”
”I see. Thank you... So how much is it?”
”30,000 Perium.”
No matter how he thought about it, that was a really low price for a bundle including a level 4 elite bone. However, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo just decided to pay at her asking price.
[Absorbing a Lv4 Skeleton Wizard's skull through Bone Reinforcement. Absorbing a significant amount of memories and experiences.]
[This facility is alive. That is how we made it... in order for it to be in the optimum environment for fermentation and maturation - Unknown Magic Master Craftsman]
Pleine, who had been watching him, snorted once he was done absorbing the bones, and asked.
”How is it? Do you know how to do it?”
”No, the information is too complex, so... It seems like I'll have to learn by doing.”
”Do your best...! The revival of the Kerr Century Winery lies in your hands, Mr. s.h.i.+n Woo!”
Pleine grabbed onto his hands tightly and yelled desperately. It seemed as though she thought the Kerr Century Winery was more important than killing a general... Lee s.h.i.+n Woo just responded with a smile.
”Please let go. So I can go and try.”
Once Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had left the shop, amongst all those waiting for him, a Dryads reacted first. It was one of the Dryads that really liked and followed Lee s.h.i.+n Woo.
[I smell another woman's scent on you, Paul Zero.]
”'You know you can't do that' is third on my personal ranking of lines I want to hear a woman say at least once in my life, so thanks.”
”What are you always doing over there that makes you come back so late?”
”That woman seemed quite unpleasant.”
They kept showering him with complaints, and once Lee s.h.i.+n Woo checked the time, he realized that four hours had already pa.s.sed. He told them about what he'd talked about with Pleine, and explained that he'd come back late because he had to wait for her to find the bones.
”You may understand if you watch what I'm about to do.”
”Mmmm?”
”Ah, could you call a few Dryads over? I feel like I'll need your help to make wine.”
[Of course! Just wait sec. I'll bring some!]
The Dryad rushed over to the vineyard. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo gathered all of the golems, took out a large container, and poured all the grapes out.
”Alright. Then shall we start with mas.h.i.+ng the grapes? In order to create this year's Kerr Century Nouveau...!”
”Ah, you just said Nouveau, right!? That's French!”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo completely ignored Jin's retort, and started mas.h.i.+ng the grapes. The level 4 golems followed his lead and began moving diligently. The Bronze Golems and up had the basic ability of synchronizing with each other.
”The fact that you're using this many golems to do this is...”
”s.h.i.+n Woo, you're always so surprising and exhilarating...”
”That's not enough! Watch, and follow me more closely!”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was saying something strange again, but Jin and Kratia, who were both used to his eccentricity, didn't say anything in response. No matter what they said, the golems would just continue to mash the grapes.
The Pauls were searching the Empire for a mine, and Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and the golems were making wine. Work was in full swing.
