Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the tavern closed at night, Rock City gradually fell into silence, as if preparing for the next day’s bustle.
Foster was almost discovered under the city wall. After confirming that the soldiers guarding the city had returned to the entrance, he quickly left the vicinity of the city gate.
He carefully wandered around the city. To him, although the streetlamps on the streets were very warm, he felt the streetlamps were a little too bright.
For the ghouls who could only live in the dark all their lives, even though the light of Rock City attracted his attention, he was still not used to it.
Therefore, Foster tried his best to avoid the bright areas of the streetlamps and carefully explored the city.
At the tavern.
“Alan, do you have anything else to say to Her Highness?”
Yupanki asked Alan, who came to the backyard, with Grimm on his shoulder and a letter in his hand.
“I’ll ask Grimm to send the letter back to the Imperial City now.”
“No, just tell me what I told you last time. The rest can wait for Olivia’s reply.”
Alan thought for a moment and did not have anything to add for the time being. He asked Yupanki to send the message directly.
“Okay, then I’ll ask Grimm to set off.”
After Yupanki finished speaking, he handed the letter in his hand to Grimm’s mouth and watched it put the letter into his space. He reached out and smoothed the hair on its head. After Grimm gave an intimate response, it flapped its wings and left his shoulder.
Alan looked at Yupanki and his magic pet’s intimate actions. He was full of envy. He turned his head to look at Ai Xiaohei who was having fun in the backyard and let out a long sigh.
When Yupanki saw Alan’s resentful look, he instantly understood what he was thinking.
Everyone in the tavern was very clear that the Alan was suffering as much as he liked AI Xiaohei. Under Orina’s coercion, Ai Xiaohei did not dare to cross the line in the slightest.
“Next time, raise another male pet, Ai Xiaohei will also mature. When that time comes, she can be touched as she pleases.”
Yupanki smiled after he finished speaking. Although Alan and Orina were not official yet, everyone in the tavern knew what the relationship between these two young people was.
Alan touched the back of his head and laughed dryly. He did not know why he agreed to Orina’s cruel conditions at that time, so much so that he still could not touch the cat even though he had it now.
After Grimm left, the bar was completely quiet.
On the first floor, Samael sat alone in front of the arcade. Only the arcade screen was still flashing with a dim light. Looking from the back, Alan felt that Samael was very lonely while the others had gone to rest.
Foster spent almost the whole night and finally toured the entire Rock City. He was getting more and more annoyed with the streetlamps. With that thing around, he could not hide himself at all.
When the sun rose, it was the most annoying time for the ghouls. Foster finally found a dark alley and settled himself in. It was the nature of the ghouls to be nocturnal.
When the sun rose, the residents also began a new day of life.
Since the last time Abraham negotiated with Demon King about the next gray fog management plan, he was more active than before in watching the dwarves and elves work.
After the sun set, Abraham returned to the tavern.
Asmodeus continued to develop his “woman-pleasing” business. Samael was still obsessed with the arcades in the tavern. He was no longer obsessed with defeating his enemy, and he could fight with anyone for a few rounds.
Around dinner, the tavern was at its liveliest. Alan was surprised to find a strange face in the tavern. He just sat there and did not greet anyone familiar, nor did he call for someone to serve wine.
Judging from his clothes, he looked very similar to Abraham when he first came. After thinking for a while, Alan decided to go up and say hello.
Foster slept from morning to evening. He followed the position he had found the night before and walked toward the tavern.
The tavern did not look like the one Foster had seen the night before. The streetlights were on, and the tavern was brightly lit. It looked like the paradise depicted in fairy tales.
He hid in the alley opposite the tavern and secretly observed for a long time. Finally, he decided to go in and take a look.
The aroma of wine coming from the tavern was too tempting, even though the bright lights inside made him feel disgusted.
“Sir, may I know what kind of wine you would like to drink?”
Alan came to the table where Foster was sitting and asked.
When Foster entered the tavern, he focused all his attention on other places. Before he entered, he did not notice any strong aura in the tavern.
After entering the tavern, he suddenly realized that there were at least four strong presences in the tavern. They were even stronger than him.
He carefully observed these places that were emitting strong presences. He was afraid that his identity would be exposed. He did not even notice Alan walking to his side.
“I... I...”
Foster was frightened. He stammered for a long time and did not say a coherent sentence.
Alan’s face was full of confusion. He thought for a while and then continued the topic.
“Don’t be nervous. Our customers only look fierce and are easy to get along with.”
“Do you usually drink alcohol? Do you like strong alcohol or mild alcohol?”
“Oh right, if you want to drink magic wine, there is one. The menu is on the wall behind you. You can take your time.”
Alan thought that Foster was shy, so he continued to introduce him. After he finished, he stared at Foster with passion.
Foster’s face was covered by the hat, so his expression and appearance could not be seen clearly.
After waiting for a long time, Foster finally opened his mouth and said what he wanted.
“I want magic wine...”
Alan would always try his best to satisfy the customer’s request.
When the wine was served on the table, Foster could clearly feel the fragrance as Alan got closer.
“This is magic wine. Please try it.”
Seeing that Foster didn’t seem to know what to drink, Alan decided for him on his own. This person didn’t look like he couldn’t drink, so he simply chose whiskey for him.
Foster picked up the glass and drank his first glass of wine in the tavern.
One could not hide the expression of liking a person, as well as the liking for a type of wine.
Alan could clearly see Foster’s joy from his posture.
“Take your time to drink. If you need anything, call me.”
After saying that, he returned to the bar counter in a happy mood. A new customer, he had conquered with just one glass of wine!
Foster was shocked and doubtful. He had never thought that there would be such a magical tavern in this small border town. It even had magic wine, and the effect of this wine was quite strong.
After drinking a glass, he even felt that something was being activated in his body.
Yupanki, Abraham, and the other three had already sensed Foster’s existence, but Alan went to greet him first. They were watching this new face finish the wine in front of him and leave behind gold coins silently. Then, Foster walked out of the tavern
What had happened seemed to be logical. The new mysterious guest, like Hewlett and Milton, would appear once a day, and then leave quietly after finishing the wine.
This was the “power” of the magic wine in the tavern.. Everyone who came to the tavern seemed to selectively forget their original purpose after drinking it.
