Chapter 632
The "giant" nearly three meters tall said with regret:
"The 'Council of Six' stipulates that things not said in the scriptures cannot be told. You are a believer of Mr. 'Fool,' so you must have heard the sermon and understand the official statement. I can't tell you the rest, just like I can't say that I have seen the 'Angel of Redemption' with my own eyes and received his help."
Speaking of this, this "giant" wanted to pat Lu Mian's shoulder again, but was dodged by Lu Mian skillfully and without a trace.
"What should I call you?" Lu Mian didn't actually believe it in his heart, but showed a look of reverence on his face.
The "giant" answered:
"Livalier.
"Cheers to the rebirth of Bai Yin City!"
Lu Mian raised the huge beer mug, touched it with the other party, and then drank the remaining golden wine.
He touched his bulging belly and pointed to the direction of the restroom, indicating that he wanted to go to the convenience.
The beer in New Bai Yin City itself had nothing special, but the cup holding them was really too big, and after drinking two cups, even with Lu Mian's physique and alcohol capacity, he couldn't hold it.
This is not drunk, it's full!
Lu Mian entered the restroom, stood in front of one of the urinals, unbuckled his belt, and half-closed his eyes.
In the sound of splashing, a "giant" over three meters tall entered and chose the urinal next to him.
Lu Mian subconsciously turned his head and glanced, then slowly withdrew his gaze.
He looked at the wall in front with confused eyes until the pressure in his lower abdomen was completely reduced, then walked out of the restroom and sat back in the old position in front of the bar.
Livalier had already ordered him a new cup of wine, which was a beer that was deep black but not dirty, showing a bit of brown when shaken.
"Try it, a specialty of New Bai Yin City, Black-Faced Wine!" This "giant" who firmly believed that he was human introduced enthusiastically.
"Black-Faced Wine?" Lu Mian picked up the beer mug bigger than his head and asked back in confusion.
Livalier suddenly felt a bit sad:
"The 'Land of the Gods Abandoned' has no sun, no fertile land, only Black-Faced Grass can grow. It is our staple food, feeding generation after generation of residents in Bai Yin City, although it is always not enough, it is better than nothing.
"At that time, it was impossible to use Black-Faced Grass to brew wine, it was too luxurious, too luxurious.
"Hehe, now food, meat, and milk are sufficient, and I have grown taller again, a full thirty centimeters taller than before."
"After arriving at New Bai Yin City, can Black-Faced Grass still be planted? Planted underground?" Although Lu Mian is not a "Planter," he grew up in the countryside and knows that plants in extreme environments will likely all die if they are changed to a normal environment.
Livalier showed a smile:
"Yes! It can grow in any environment. Of course, we found people to improve the seeds of Black-Faced Grass, making it more suitable for the current environment. Its taste is actually very different from before, more, more delicious. Try it, you can't drink this kind of beer outside. We don't plant much ourselves, mainly to remember the past."
Lu Mian took the beer mug to his mouth with great interest and took a big gulp.
What he tasted first was the normal, lighter wheat fragrance, then he felt the refreshing grass and a little stimulation in the mellow, and finally the faint milk taste permeating his mouth.
"Not bad, a very special and great experience." Lu Mian did not skimp on his praise.
He asked curiously:
"Is there any strong liquor brewed from Black-Faced Grass?"
Livalier's expression sank slightly, and he shook his head:
"People in New Bai Yin City all feel that alcoholism is an act of depravity, indulgence, and waste of food, so we refuse strong liquor."
Speaking of this, he paused:
"And, Black-Faced Grass doesn't seem suitable for brewing wine. Even if it is made into beer, drinking too much will produce certain hallucinations. I drink at most three cups each time."
Has weak toxicity? People in New Bai Yin City still relied on eating this plant to continue for generation after generation in the "Land of the Gods Abandoned." It's really not easy...... Lu Mian remembered his sister's occasional joke and curled his lips:
"Will you see a group of little people dancing if you drink too much?"
Livalier thought for a while and said:
"No, the hallucinations are different most of the time. There are those who see their wives slapping themselves, those who hear the calls of dead relatives, those who find a baby lying on the side of the road, crying loudly......"
Lu Mian couldn't listen to things related to baby crying now, so he lost interest and turned to chat about the taste of Black-Faced Wine.
He finished this cup, went to the restroom again, and then left the bar, intending to stroll around New Bai Yin City while the afternoon sun was good, and "teleport" back to the "Berry" docked at Hant Port in the evening.
Among those buildings that were not many stories high but exceptionally tall, the pedestrians were mainly "half-giants," occasionally seeing one or two "giants" over three meters tall, and those under 1.8 meters were almost non-existent, unless they were those full of childishness.
Lu Mian's height barely passed, and his eyes turned everywhere.
He found that some green vines were climbing on the outer walls of some houses, and there were many soft, huge, white, and plump mushrooms growing on the vines.
Mushrooms? When did vines grow mushrooms? Lu Mian frowned, doubting his botany.
Thinking that this might be a special plant brought out of the "Land of the Gods Abandoned" by New Bai Yin City, he felt relieved again.
He walked to a roadside stall, looked up, and said:
"You are selling milk, why didn't I see the bucket for milk?"
That stall owner was two point five or six meters tall, his skin color was slightly grayish-blue, and he smiled honestly:
"The house behind is mine, do you want milk?"
"Give me a cup." Lu Mian asked, so he didn't mind buying a cup of milk.
Although the currency used in New Bai Yin City didn't include Felin and Gold Liso, gold was hard currency everywhere.
The stall owner was very happy, took a cup, turned, and walked to his two-story house, reaching out to pick a soft, white mushroom.
He aimed the mushroom at the cup mouth and squeezed it hard.
Milky white milk sprayed out, quickly filling the cup.
Lu Mian's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes revealed confusion again.
You call this milk?
"Alright." The "half-giant" stall owner handed the milk to Lu Mian.
Lu Mian subconsciously took it while asking blankly:
"That's a mushroom?"
"Yes, milk mushroom." The "half-giant" stall owner was very sincere.
You call that a mushroom? Lu Mian paid the money in a muddle, held the cup, and left this roadside stall.
He didn't remember how much money he paid, and forgot his original intention of chatting with the other party by buying milk.
Walking out ten meters, he took the cup to his mouth and took a gulp.
A milky taste!
Lu Mian frowned and finished the cup of milk, not feeling that there was anything wrong with it.
But these liquids came out of mushrooms!
"Just treat it as a special plant...... just treat it as a special plant......" Lu Mian muttered to himself, not having the idea of trying again.
He was afraid that if he drank too much, he would also produce milk!
He continued to stroll, walking aimlessly on the road twice as wide as the streets of Hant Port.
Suddenly, another "half-giant" with slightly grayish-blue skin approached, holding a thick book, and said with unusual enthusiasm:
"Friend, are you interested in learning about our guide and savior......"
Lu Mian laughed, bowed with his hand on his chest:
"Praise the Fool!"
"So it's a brother." The "half-giant" was a bit disappointed and very happy.
Both sides were communicating in Ancient Fusa, but Lu Mian had heard the residents of New Bai Yin City occasionally pop out giant language words that could pry into supernatural power when they communicated with each other along the way.
"Are there often outsiders here?" Lu Mian asked casually.
The "half-giant" smiled and said:
"Often there are outsiders coming to visit, experience, and tour. In the first few years, some people chose to settle here, but later most of them moved away, feeling that the pressure of living with us is relatively high. Hehe, we are too tall and don't understand enjoyment so much."
Saying that, the "half-giant" took something out of his pocket and handed it to Lu Mian:
"Very happy that you came to New Bai Yin City as a guest, try the sugar we produce ourselves."
That was a candy wrapped in blue and white thin paper.
Lu Mian didn't be polite, took it, tore off the packaging, and put the white candy into his mouth.
The strong milk fragrance and mellow sweetness quickly fermented on the tip of his tongue, silky and delicious.
Milk fragrance...... Lu Mian moved in his heart and asked with a strange expression:
"Is this milk candy?"
"Yes." The "half-giant" missionary answered with a full face of smiles.
"What kind of milk is used?" Lu Mian didn't expect that he would ask such a question one day.
The "half-giant" answered very normally and naturally:
"Milk from milk mushrooms."
"......" Lu Mian held the milk candy, not knowing whether to spit it out or swallow it.
He could feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of the other party when giving the milk candy just now.
In the following time, he saw mushrooms fried with meat fragrance, mushrooms baked with fishy smell, and all kinds of strange mushrooms.
Lu Mian was confused throughout, watching those "half-giants" and "giants" happily sharing with each other.
Unknowingly, he walked to a corner of New Bai Yin City.
A very tall building stood here.
It was divided into two parts, the left was a pointed tower, the right was a round tower, the outer wall was gray and white, and it was thirty or forty meters high.
"This is the Twin Towers? According to Livalier, the pointed tower is where public facilities such as libraries are located, and the round tower is where the 'Council of Six' that rules New Bai Yin City works...... Such a place must have sealed items and strong people......" Lu Mian stood not far away and examined the building in front of him.
His eyes swept over the round tower and found that in the cracks of the bricks near the ground, clusters of black plants that looked like hair grew out, hanging there, occasionally swaying lightly with the wind.
Lu Mian withdrew his gaze and walked toward the pointed tower, wanting to see what kind of book inheritance this human settlement that had continued for thousands of years in the "Land of the Gods Abandoned" would have.
