Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Orina was a little embarrassed by Alan’s rejection. As the queen of the elves, she had never been short of money, so she did not understand this aspect.

She only knew that this grape had the possibility of allowing her to advance up the tier levels, so it was something she needed to strive to get. Only when she becomes a stronger queen would she be better at protecting her people.

Alan was an ordinary person who could not cultivate at all. In addition, he lost the protection of his parents at a young age. In order to earn a living, he grew up struggling in society, so he must have suffered a lot.

Thinking of this, Orina felt full of shame, and her face was red with embarrassment.

In Sophia’s eyes, her queen looked like she was bullied to the point that she was about to cry. As a close companion to the queen, how could she tolerate this!

Looking at Alan’s squalid face, Sophia, who already changed her opinion of him, could not help but feel so angry that the veins on her forehead popped out.

“Shut up, we’ll pay, we’ll buy it from you! ”

Hearing that they were going to pay for it, Alan’s eyes lit up. That could work. The elves were so rich it did not matter if he slightly ripped them off...

With a fake smile on his face, Alan said enthusiastically, “Beautiful lady, may I know how many gold coins are you willing to pay for a magic grape?”

Sophia gritted her teeth and asked hatefully, “How much do you want?” This matter was related to the queen’s magic breakthrough. She knew that the kid in front of her was going to rip her off, but she had no choice but to accept it. She felt extremely aggrieved.

Alan frowned, his expression a little offended, and there was a hint of regret in his voice. “Although everyone is already familiar with each other, Orina was also my first guest, and this deals with her magic breakthrough, however, the cost of the magic grapes is too high, and I simply cannot bear the high cost for her majesty’s magic breakthrough...”

“Alright, alright, just tell me how much you want. I’m too impatient to listen to your excuses.” Sophia interrupted Alan’s nonsense impatiently.

“Sophia...” seeing Sophia’s impatience towards Alan, Orina looked a little unhappy. She now sees Alan as a poor little boy who lost his parents and has barely enough to keep himself fed and clothed. Her heart was full of pity. How could she allow Sophia to talk to him so impatiently?

Sophia saw that her queen was unhappy, and her face froze. Something in her heart broke. It was as if the person who she was carefully taking care of suddenly was corrupted by an outsider...

Alan saw that Sophia’s face turned gray in an instant, and then looked at Orina who was staring at him with an extremely kind smile on her face. His heart skipped a beat. What a gentle smile with daggers hiding behind it!

Alan put on a serious face and no longer quipped. He directly stated his price, “Five silver coins per grape.”

“Eh, didn’t you want gold coins? Is silver enough?”Orina asked, puzzled.

When Alan heard this, he was sure that she was threatening him. He quietly scoffed in his heart, ‘Thank god I reacted quickly. The queen is indeed a queen. Her means and methods are not something that a small subordinate can compare to.’

‘After hearing what I said, you already knew that I was going to ask for too much, so you tactically warned me not to go too far. In the end, you still tested me to see if my asking price was truly what I was asking for. ‘

‘As expected, I can’t be too cocky. I almost forgot that these two elves are powerful...’

“Rest assured my queen. I am very sure what I said. Silver coins are enough,” Alan answered seriously.

“But please understand that this bunch of magic grapes will be used to make wine, so I can only sell you three more at most. If you think it’s effective, please come back in a few days to taste the new Lafite. I believe I won’t let you down.”

Orina looked at Alan’s serious face and could only nod in agreement with his price. “Sofia, pay.”

However, she thought to herself, ‘What a good young man. The opportunity to make a fortune was right in front of him, yet he gave it up just like that. He even tried to comfort me. This child is too righteous. The elves will take good care of him in the future!’

The little angel in Orina’s heart held a white handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

As she looked at him more and more affectionately, Alan, who was carefully plucking the grapes, accidentally caught a glimpse of her expression. His hand trembled and he almost crushed a grape.

Alan felt uneasy. He didn’t rip her off too much so why was she still looking at him like that...

He sped up his hand movements and handed three grapes to Orina. Then, he took one gold coin and five silver coins from Sofia. When he placed the coins into his pocket, the coins disappeared and the balance in the system account turned to two gold coins and three silver coins.

“Then, Alan, we’ll leave for now. I’ll come back in a few days to taste your new wine.”

After saying that, Orina took Sofia and walked out of the small tavern with graceful steps.

Alan guessed that they were in a hurry to go back and try the effects of the magic grapes.

Because he did not have magic powers, he could not experience the magical effects of the grapes. At most, he felt that they were just more delicious.

Only until they walked away from the end of the street and Alan was the only one left in the tavern did he finally let out a sigh of relief.

He reflected on himself. “I let my guard down. This is a dangerous world where one could easily get murdered. If I’m not careful, I could get killed. As for what happened last night, I can never let those two elves know even if my life depended on it.”.

Orina’s expression when she looked at him just now was simply too terrifying. It was as if in the next second she would say “I’ll kill you” with her gentle smile still plastered on her face. Such terrifying words...”

Alan calmed his wildly beating heart and said, “System, exchange two batches of magic grapes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, two more batches of giant grapes appeared on the bar counter. The next step was to experiment with the effects while brewing Lafite wine that contained magic.

Finding out the number of magic grapes that would yield the best magic effects while using the least amount of grapes was the first step to becoming rich.

In the next few days, Alan did nothing but brew wine in the backyard. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

The tavern was still empty. Ever since he served Orina and Sophia, there were still no customers. Even the two elven ladies who had promised to come again did not show up.

It had been five days since he got the magic grapes, and he also found the most suitable ratio to brew the magic Lafite.

After testing, he found that a barrel with 30 magic grapes would yield the most fragrant wine. A barrel could yield 20 bottles of wine. Pricing one gold coin per bottle, many people would probably still fight over it, after all, this was a wine that contained magic power.

Besides the grapes that he wasted while brewing the wine and the ones that he ate, there were still five barrels of magic Lafite in the wine cellar. The effects for each were different. If he could sell all of them, Alan’s tavern would be completely stable.

He would no longer have to worry about where he would get gold coins to buy the ingredients.
