Chapter 81: Discussion
Abraham was in the middle of communicating with Lolita.
When they saw that everyone else was looking at them, the two of them instantly froze on the spot.
Empire, Imperial City, Princess Olivia’s residence
“Stanton, go and make the arrangements. Follow what we agreed just now and be careful of fifth brother’s plans.”
After saying that, Olivia returned to her desk and finished the work that she had yet to finish.
The chief knight turned around and left the room.
Recently, the influence of the Imperial Capital had been complicated, and the activities of the citizens of Oreste had decreased a lot. Most of the people who were active outside were the subordinates of various forces. They had ulterior motives, and when they looked at each other, they could see the wariness in each other’s eyes.
The six children of the old king had their own plans, and it seemed that more than half of them had chosen to rely on external forces.
Olivia, the youngest princess who had been sent by the old king to the Elven Forest to seek help, did not have any advantage in finding external forces. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
However, this trip was not without any gains. On the contrary, Olivia’s advantage was the greatest in the long run.
The Lafite and Alan’s friendship could be seen as a long-term investment. It might take some time for them to see the benefits.
Olivia looked at the paper on the table, which was filled with the names of various races and people. She drew several circles on the angel race and orc race.
She thought for a while and drew a circle on the elf race and the dwarf race.
The first piece of information about Yupanki in Rock City had been successfully sent to her.
Olivia recalled her reaction when she first saw the secret letter and could not help but laugh.
Only a few months had passed. She did not expect the success of the harvest season to attract the dwarves, and with the help of the elves in the dark.
Olivia felt that she was not alone. At least at the border, she still had a strong ally. She believed that if Alan knew that she was in danger, he would definitely come to help her.
Thinking of Alan, the young man who had just become an adult like her, Olivia could not help but admire him.
The so-called genius was probably just so-so.
According to Yupanki’s report, Alan had made a new magic wine. This time, it was not to increase his magic power, but to specifically increase his strength.
In the future, he could drink this strength whiskey to replenish his lacking of strength.
The wine that Alan made could be considered to have opened a backdoor for all the cultivators on the continent.
If the young man was given more time, he would be able to make more special wines that could increase other attributes.
On the big tree in the courtyard, the mage who was secretly protecting the princess saw the princess staring at the piece of paper with a sweet smile on her face. He was shocked. If it was not for the fact that he could not move around freely during working hours, he had to talk about this matter with his brothers.
In the tavern.
The Abyss duo was terrified by the stares of everybody.
Lolita was standing beside Abraham, feeling at a loss. Abraham’s posture was also slightly stiff.
“Let’s think of a solution. We’ll talk about the other things after we solve them. Don’t you agree, Wayne?”
Alan looked around the bar counter, which was slightly tense. He noticed that Lolita was a little scared, so he quickly said something to help her out.
“Ah, right, right. Let’s think of a solution first. The other things are not important now.”
Wayne only reacted after Alan mentioned it. He looked at Abraham and followed Alan to help him out.
Grandpa Babor heard the words of the two people and seemed to have understand something. He had a good impression of this young man, Alan. He did not expose Alan’s clumsy change of topic and looked like he did not know anything, he calmly drank the whiskey in his glass.
Yupanki looked back and forth between their faces, and finally, his eyes fell on Alan’s face. After thinking for a while, he had some guesses. It seemed that Alan had not only been on good terms with the dwarves recently, but also had many other people.
“Then, do you have any good ideas on the problem of the gray fog? Our governor’s mansion has been trying our best to investigate it recently, but it has indeed had little effect. If you have a solution, please say it out. The governor’s mansion will definitely cooperate with you.”
Kramer frankly said that he was powerless in this matter, and his frank manner also won the admiration of Grandpa Babor.
Until everyone shifted their gazes away, Abraham and Lolita secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They tried their best to reduce their sense of presence and quietly listened to everyone’s discussion.
“Have you noticed? If people are in this tavern, that irritable mood will calm down. Even if there’s an instant outburst, they will calm down with Alan’s persuasion.”
Severino had been silent since the beginning of the night. It was not until he reminded them that everyone carefully felt their own situation.
“Yes, indeed. I also felt it!” Shaman was the first to speak.
As everyone expressed their opinions, they finally realized the uniqueness of the tavern. Everyone stared at Alan, trying to see how magical this youth was.
“What? my tavern can do that!”
Alan’s face was full of disbelief. He wasn’t faking it. He really didn’t know what was going on. Before everyone said it out loud, he himself didn’t know that the tavern had this ability.
“Looks like Little Alan doesn’t know either. What else can we do now!” Kramer’s tone was a little helpless.
The atmosphere was a little heavy. They thought that they would find a solution soon, but now, no one knew why people became calmer in the tavern.
After a long time, the customers in the tavern gradually left. No one could think of anything, so they all left first.
“Bart, you don’t have to worry about the gray fog. I’ll leave the electrification in the city to you and Shaman to speed up the progress.”
Before the dwarves left, Alan said to Bart, who had been silent all night.
“Alan, don’t worry. Leave this matter to the dwarves. I’ll bring my people to work hard next.” Bart replied loudly.
“Speaking of this matter, I have to thank you, Little Alan. Thank you for trusting this useless grandson of mine!”
After saying that, Grandpa Babor even had to bow to Alan. Alan hurriedly helped him up, saying that he didn’t care.
After sending the guests and friends out of the tavern, he and Yupanki cleaned up and went upstairs to rest.
In the middle of night, humans had long fallen asleep. Even the demon princess, Lolita, had fallen asleep.
Only Ai Xiaohei, a feline, was in high spirits at night.
Outside the backyard of the tavern, there was a rustling sound. Ai Xiaohei, who was patrolling her territory in the dark, heard the voices of the humans.
After a while, some heads popped out from the top of the wall. After counting, there were a total of 12 heads.
“Boss, how do we do it? Didn’t they say that this tavern has a lot of experts?”
“I heard that the wine is very good. Since we’re already here, why don’t we try it?”
…
The people lying on the wall were discussing their plans. They did not notice a small black figure in the shadows of the corner and listened to their conversation.
“All of you shut up. We are here to do business. Kill that young man…”
The man who spoke was the leader of this group of people. As soon as he spoke, everyone else quieted down.
Just as he said that he was going to kill the young man, a killing intent that made him shudder tightly wrapped around him.
He could not help but shiver. He looked at the courtyard in a daze for a long time until he was woken up by his subordinates. He composed himself and said.
“Go in. Be careful. Leave immediately after you finish your business. Don’t do anything unnecessary!”
After the boss finished speaking, he took the lead and jumped into the courtyard. His subordinates looked at each other. They did not know why the boss suddenly became angry after his mind wandered.
Twelve persons climbed into the courtyard from the top of the wall one after another. They were about to approach the tavern.
Suddenly, a low roar of some kind of feline came from in front of them. One could tell that it was the roar of a fierce beast. Their nerves instantly tensed up. They looked at the dark place in front of them vigilantly. At this moment, they finally believed the rumor that this tavern was very dangerous.
A huge black figure appeared with a low growl in front of these people.
