Not counting Alan who was happily fetching wine from the wine cellar in the backyard, the princess, the Chief Knight, the governor of Rock City, and the administrative officer were all sitting in the hall talking with serious expressions on their faces.

“Stanton, why did you stop me just now? There aren’t many high-level magic wines on the continent.” The princess looked at her knight puzzledly.

“Your Highness, when that boy talked about his wine, he already intended to sell it. In that case, why don’t we first confirm whether his words are true or not before making a decision.” Replied the Chief Knight calmly.

“Your Highness, Sir Stanton, I am sure that Alan will not deceive you with this matter, he is a true genius winemaker.” Kramer firmly defended Alan.

Sevilino nodded his head vigorously, agreeing with the governor’s words.

“It’s not that we don’t believe it….” The princess glanced at Stanton.

“The authenticity of this bottle of wine is very important to the Imperial City. The effect of low-level magic Lafite is already very good. What about middle-level and high-level magic Lafite? If the effects that he said are true, then magic Lafite, this series of wine, can even be considered as the Imperial City’s strategic resources!” Stanton explained solemnly.

At this point, Kramer also understood. The low-level magic Lafite was very effective for those below a mid-level mage, but what about a mid-level mage? As long as there was enough magic Lafite, then all the mages in the empire could encounter a period of rapid advancement.

Moreover, he heard that the neighboring countries had been stirring up trouble on the borders.

It seemed that the purpose of the emperor sending the little princess to the Forest of Elves at this time was not just for trade…

When Alan returned to the hall with the wine, he saw a table full of people with solemn expressions, deep in thought, while the knights at the other table were all tensed up and sitting upright.

Alan, who was a little confused, could not help but feel a little nervous. Could it be that his little trick of swindling money had been exposed…

“Well, everyone, this bottle is the high-level magic Lafite that has been passed down in my family for several generations,” Alan said uneasily, gently placing the bottle of wine in his hand in the middle of the table.

Everyone’s gaze was focused on the small bottle of wine. The transparent glass bottle contained dark red wine. It was clear and its deep color was extremely alluring.

“Alan, can you open this bottle of wine?” Olivia asked.

“Yes, although it will lose some magic power, it won’t lose much.” Alan thought for a while before answering.

Although he knew that he still had a lot of high-level magic Lafite in his backyard, since he was putting on a show, he needed to pretend that the bottle on the table was the only bottle on the continent.

Alan opened the bottle so the cork came out undamaged. The fragrance of the wine mixed with rich magic elements floated in the air.

Chief Knight Stanton, who was the highest level person in the room, suddenly stood up from his chair and said with a shocked face, “Your Highness, this wine contains more magic than Grandmaster Colmie’s magic potion!”

He could even feel the magic in his body boiling just by smelling it.

Stanton’s words shocked the princess. As the Grandmaster of Potion for the empire, Colmie’s magic potion was very powerful, but what did her Chief Knight say just now? The magic elements in this bottle of wine were even richer than the Grandmaster’s magic potion?

“Everyone, this bottle of high-level magic Lafite is my family’s heirloom. After so many years, the magic power contained in it is naturally very dense.”Alan struck while the iron was hot and began to bluff.

“In addition, Lafite’s formula is also originally to my family. Normal Lafite, which does not contain magic power, already has the effect of delaying aging and expelling the cold in the body. Low-level magic Lafite can provide a large amount of magic for people below a mid-level mage to speed up their training.”

“According to the formula, mid-level magic Lafite can have a significant effect on those below the level of an Archmage. Under the violent effects of the rich magic elements, it can even loosen the barrier of an Archmage that is bottlenecked in their advancement.”

At this point, everyone’s eyes lit up. Alan, who was observing everyone’s reaction, easily caught it. He was secretly excited that there was hope!

“As for the effect of this high-level magic Lafite, I think you can experience it for yourself. You must know that this is the only bottle of it on the continent. Not only is the wine mellow, but the taste is also sweet and delicious. The magic elements contained in it are also very rich.”

“My Lords, what are you still waiting for? This is such an excellent high-level magic wine. In a situation where magic potions are very rare, this bottle of wine not only gives the user a taste of enjoyment, it can also help you speed up your training without any side effects. Most importantly, if you buy it today, I can even give you a discount!”

After a round of passionate promotion, Alan did not care about the dumbfounded crowd. He picked up his goblet and drank the rest of his wine in one gulp. He said too much at once and now felt a little thirsty.

After he put down the goblet, he observed everyone’s reaction. Something was not right. No one reacted at all. Could it be that he tricked them too hard and now they don’t know how to react…

Alan looked at everyone’s dumbstruck expression and felt a little nervous. He could not help but reach out and wave his hand in front of Olivia’s eyes.

The effect was not bad, and she came back to her senses immediately.

“I want this bottle of wine.” Olivia stared into Alan’s eyes. “No matter how much it costs, I want it!”

Stanton’s expressionless face could not help but become excited when he heard the princess’ decision.

Hearing this, the young man’s eyes light up instantly. He thought smugly, “So what if you’re a mage? Under my great bluffing skills and the beauty of the magic Lafite, of course you would want to buy it. So what if I don’t have magic? I’m someone who relies on my brain to make a living.”f

“Your Highness, you have great taste. This bottle of high-level magic Lafite will not disappoint you.” Alan sealed the wine again and poured out flattering words as if they were free.

“Here, your wine has been sealed again.” Alan, who was smiling obsequiously, handed over the wine bottle in his hands. ” The price is 5,000 gold coins. Of course, I agreed to give you a discount. You just have to pay 4,950 gold coins.”

When Kramer and Sevilino heard the price, their faces were filled with shock. The Chief Knight silently calculated in his heart, how many years would it take for him to collect 4,950 gold coins?

After hearing the price, Olivia’s face that was filled with enthusiasm and excitement was much more restrained. She awkwardly curled the corners of her mouth and revealed an ugly smile.

“I don’t have that much money on me.” As the Imperial City’s most favored little princess, when had she ever lacked money?

It was just that this time, she came for official business. She never expected to encounter the Magic Lafite.

When Alan heard the princess say that she had no money, he was stunned… If you don’t have money, why are you trying to buy it?!

Alan, who felt that he had been played, was about to take back the bottle of wine.

“Hey, Hey, Hey, you already sold it to me, how can you take it back!” Olivia said anxiously.

“So you do know that I sold it to you, then you need to pay for it!” Alan roared.

The princess was shocked by Alan’s roar and was at a loss. Stanton tensed up his body and pulled out the broadsword on his back.

“What’s the hurry? I didn’t say that I wasn’t going to pay, I just didn’t bring so many gold coins with me!” After Olivia roared, the maid beside her took out her money bag and stared at Stanton without moving.

Finally, the Chief Knight secretly sighed and took out his money bag.

He scraped together a large bag containing 500 gold coins and handed it to Alan.

“Here, I’ll give you this much first as a deposit. I’ll bring you the rest of the gold coins when I return to the Imperial City.” The princess tried hard to maintain the arrogance on her face and handed the money bag to Alan as if she didn’t care.

Alan’s expression didn’t look too good, but he was already overjoyed in his heart.

“As a dignified princess of the Imperial City, don’t even think about going back on your word!” Alan’s face was filled with mockery.

Olivia was a little embarrassed by Alan’s gaze and immediately led her knights to leave the tavern.
