Eerie Gods Card Master: Starting with Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

It's like a life developing and growing, which is why wine is also called "living wine" or "wine with life";

Wine connoisseurs will want a bottle of aged wine; that's the principle behind it;

And the most direct reason is that after wine is made, it's as bright red as blood, which is why it's called the wine of flesh and blood."

Lin Chen nodded: "I've learned a lot. I was also very curious about how wine is made. Could you enlighten me?"

Chen Xiao Diao was getting a bit bored listening. Why were these two chatting about winemaking? Weren't they supposed to be fighting?

Amber: "Wine has a famous brewing process called 'bloodletting'.

After the grapes are destemmed and crushed, a portion of the grape juice is drained when the color has been extracted to a certain extent.

This process is called bloodletting and can refine the wine's concentration."

Lin Chen suddenly interjected: "Then is it possible that the name 'bloodletting' came about precisely because wine is truly made from blood?"

Chen Xiao Diao felt utterly speechless internally: 'Brother Chen, you're practically saying the word 'suspicion' out loud!'

Amber remained as calm as ever: "You jest. Perhaps I should take you to my wine cellar to see for yourselves;

You can appreciate our vineyard and winemaking techniques, and I can also give you the brewed [Spirit Wine]."

Amber gestured towards the entrance to the underground wine cellar, awaiting Lin Chen's reply.

Is this a case of 'inviting the tiger into the house'?

Should I go down?

Once we're in the wine cellar, it'll be entirely on their turf.

Lin Chen initially demurred: "Can we really? Is this exclusive technique something you can just show us?"

Amber offered a friendly smile:

"Of course. After chatting with you for a while, Mr. Lin, I feel as though we've known each other for a long time, like blood relatives. There's nothing I can't show you."

Looking at Amber's candid response, Lin Chen began to waver;

Could he really just be a hospitable winemaker?

But no matter who this person truly was, given the situation, he had to investigate.

Besides, Lin Chen's deposit for the [Spirit Wine] was still in Amber's hands!

So, the two of them followed Amber into the mysterious century-old wine cellar.

Along the underground passageway, the walls, softened by a century of wine aroma, were covered in dark red moss;

This made Lin Chen momentarily feel as though he were walking into a giant womb.

After winding through the underground passage, the three finally arrived at a vast underground vineyard.

Inside were large expanses of grape fields, with countless dense and sturdy grapevines growing;

The vines were laden with fruit, bearing plump, sweet grape flesh;

Some of the fruits were so large they had split open, dripping bright red juice.

The entire vineyard exuded a cloying sweetness, almost overwhelming.

Against the walls were barrels upon barrels of wine undergoing fermentation and brewing.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"

Amber asked, like an innocent child showing off their toys.

Lin Chen couldn't help but exclaim: "What a bountiful harvest!"

"Isn't it beautiful? These plants symbolize life and desire," Amber continued to ask.

"Mm," Lin Chen replied perfunctorily.

Amber suddenly turned, staring at Lin Chen, and said:

"Mr. Lin, would you like to join us?"

Lin Chen was caught off guard and blurted out: "Join you? What do you mean?"

Amber showed a slightly cunning expression and stated with certainty:

"You've known for a long time, haven't you? The Cult of the God of Wine."

Chapter 31: Who told you Card Masters aren't good at combat?

"Join us. You know, the Cult of the God of Wine."

Amber's sly smile made Lin Chen's heart pound:

'Amber actually laid it all out!

He actually knows I know about the Cult of the God of Wine. So he saw through my seeing through him long ago!'

Lin Chen wanted to signal Chen Xiao Diao to strike first, but found the girl was already flushed and had fainted, held captive by Maenads who had appeared out of nowhere. It was clear she'd succumbed to the alcohol fumes and passed out.

Lin Chen sighed. He had warned her before they left to be wary of Amber's potential hallucinogenic methods, but it was still impossible to guard against. He began to recall when Chen Xiao Diao had been affected. It must have been after they entered the underground wine cellar. It seemed the concentration of hallucinogens in the cellar's air was extremely high, silently eroding reason and controlling Chen Xiao Diao.

Now he was truly caught, like a turtle in a jar.

Amber chuckled, "That child's thoughts were written all over her face. How could I not see your guard?"

Lin Chen remained silent.

Amber continued, "You're a Card Master. Your mental power is strong, but you lack combat experience and aren't skilled in card combat. So, the troublesome one is this Chen Xiao Diao. Although she's ranked at the bottom in the Security Bureau, she's still an experienced patrol officer, so I took care of her first. I did this so we could have a chat, just the two of us."

Amber continued in his voice, smooth as aged wine, "Mr. Lin, you haven't answered my question yet. Do you want to join our Cult of the God of Wine?"

Lin Chen countered, "Why me?"

Amber said with great sincerity, "I'm not lying to you. After talking with you, I felt an immediate kinship, like blood relatives. Since you know the legends of the [God of Wine] and your reason hasn't been corrupted, it means your ancestors were devout followers of the God of Wine and blessed you with a bloodline that exempts you from corruption. Or, like me, you are someone favored by the God of Wine. He personally passed this history to you, protecting you from harm."

Amber's words were packed with information. So, knowing the history of divine beings would lead to corruption! The original owner of Lin Chen's body had also died because he investigated the history of divine beings! And divine beings could actively protect their favored followers!

However, neither of the situations Lin Chen described applied to him. He knew the history of the God of Wine simply because he brought it over from his previous life. This led Amber to mistake him for a fellow believer, thus making a well-intentioned attempt to recruit him. Lin Chen had to make good use of this goodwill!

He decided to gather more information and asked, "Can you first tell me what the Cult of the God of Wine's objective is here?"

Amber replied, "Of course. I was going to tell you anyway. This is the core secret ritual of our Cult of the God of Wine. As you guessed and hinted, we are brewing wine using the blood of Card Masters, because the blood of Card Masters contains spiritual power and is more refined. In the grand festive rituals, I will extract the vital blood of the sacrifices and pour it into the Holy Grail until it overflows."

Lin Chen asked, "The Holy Grail?" Lin Chen knew the term "Holy Grail" originated from the cup used to hold wine at Jesus' Last Supper. Jesus died after the "Last Supper" and resurrected three days later, demonstrating his great miracle. The Holy Grail then became a sacred relic, a symbol of rebirth and healing.

Amber extended his hand, and a wine cup made of flesh and blood appeared. The cup was nearly full of blood, just a hair's breadth away. "This is the Holy Grail of the God of Wine. It's just a little bit more until it's full."

Lin Chen asked, "What happens when it's full?"

"Resurrection."

"Resurrection? Resurrect whom?"

Amber said with unquestionable authority, "I am going to resurrect the [God of Wine]."
