Chapter 56 - Chapter 54: Gris, the Natural-Born Wine Taster

"If he doesn't listen, just take this out."

Jona Velli said, plucking a white dragon scale and tossing it to Medusa.

Medusa hurriedly caught it. Her fear hadn't dissipated, so her voice trembled as she replied.

"Ye... Yes... Gr... Great Master..."

"Alright, enough with the useless talk. Just take me there."

"Yes..."

Medusa put the scale into her Spatial Ring, walked out of the cave with Jona Velli, and bowed again.

"Pl... Please, follow me, Master."

With those words, white dragon wings sprouted from Medusa's back, and she flew toward White Crystal City, with Jona Velli following close behind.

The two arrived at a countryside area outside the city, where a massive wooden house stood, looking completely out of place with its surroundings.

Jona Velli felt that it could probably accommodate her true form, though squeezing in might burst the wooden house.

Jona Velli transformed into her human form and floated inside.

The interior decor was very minimalist, resembling a warehouse.

In the center was a long wooden table and a few stools, while against one wall, the fruits and wheat Jona Velli needed were neatly stacked.

Everything was already bagged, but it looked like it wouldn't be long before it started to rot.

On the other side of the long table were two large pots.

Seeing these two pots, Jona Velli remembered that different raw materials required different processing methods.

She guessed Medusa thought one pot wouldn't be enough and prepared an extra one, not realizing Jona Velli had intended this all along.

"Perfect. One for steaming the wheat, and the other for boiling the fruit-based raw materials.

Mm~ Not bad. With my [Weekend], I won't even have to worry about the fermentation process."

At this thought, Jona Velli felt strangely cheerful. Although some chemistry knowledge she learned in high school could probably be used for brewing wine, it was all theoretical and she had never actually practiced it.

Now that she was about to start brewing personally, honestly, Jona Velli was a little excited.

Jona Velli rubbed her hands together, eager to try, but then she thought of something: whether the brew was good or not would require a taster; otherwise, how would she know if it was successful?

Drinking it herself was out of the question; Jona Velli didn't want to use herself as a guinea pig.

Her gaze fell upon Medusa. On the way here, she had already cast a calming spell on her personal head maid, who had now completely regained her composure.

After looking at Medusa for a few moments, Jona Velli shook her head.

"No, your poison resistance isn't high enough. Even with the boost from dragon blood, you might still get poisoned."

After thinking for a moment, Jona Velli had someone in mind.

Speaking of those least likely to be poisoned to death, she actually had two dragon candidates.

One was Friel, and the other was Gris.
