Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start - Chapter 84
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The next morning, they heard that the governor’s mansion had started to take action, and the supplies to the neighboring city had been prepared.
Wayne and Dorje did not know much about the current situation in the neighboring city. They were currently gathering information from the Chamber of Commerce, and they could also make a risk assessment for this mission in advance.
As usual, Alan made wine and opened his tavern. However, he found that the tavern was less lively, even though the number of customers in the tavern was still the same.
“Wayne didn’t come today, and neither did Kramer. It’s really lonely…”
It was rare for the brawny man Mauricio to be sentimental.
“Tch, it’s good that he’s not here. It’s so noisy.”
Knapp said disdainfully as he sipped his wine.
Ever since Wayne and Alan became more and more familiar with each other, the original five-person group of Rock City Drunkards had become a three-person group.
Wayne, Dorje, and Abraham, who later joined the two of them, became inseparable.
Alan was also listless today. With his hands on his chin, he lay on the bar counter. Next to his head was the furry little black cat, lying in the same position as her master. She squinted her eyes at the door as she swayed her long tail casually. The furry tail swept across Alan’s face from time to time.
Alan estimated the time based on his feeling. It was not dinner time yet, and he was a little surprised that Grandpa Babor had appeared alone in the tavern.
But after listening to the old man’s explanation, he began to sympathize with Bart.
Ever since the first time they reunited, Bart had been scolded really hard when he went back. Then, as if he was under house arrest, he continued to build generator and incandescent lamps in the courtyard.
“Little Alan, don’t worry. Bart and those little fellows in our clan have been locked up at home by me and are working at full speed to build generators.”
“Hahaha…”
Alan listened to the dwarf old man in front of him say the cruelest thing to Bart in the happiest tone. He mourned for his little friend for a short while.
“Young people should just go through more hardships, or else they won’t be able to achieve anything. Oh, but it doesn’t necessarily apply to an outstanding young man like you, Little Alan.”
“Hahahaha…”
Grandpa Babor’s words made Alan feel the joy of being an orphan for the first time.
After this matter was over, it was likely that Bart would be traumatized of generators and incandescent lamps.
“Grandpa Babor, there’s actually no need to be in such a hurry. It’s okay to let them slow down a little. What kind of wine do you want to drink today?”
Alan asked with a smile.
“I heard from Bart that you have the strongest wine on the continent. I want to drink that!”
Grandpa Babor finished the wine in the cup in one go. He put the cup on the table with a bang and said in a muffled voice.
Alan smiled and didn’t say anything. He changed the small cup for him and poured a burning knife on it.
“Try this.”
He pushed the small wine glass in his hand over. The transparent wine in the glass swayed gently with Alan’s movements.
“Every time I see this glass, I feel like it’s a work of art. I heard from Bart that you know how to make glass?”
Babor looked at the glass with a slightly infatuated gaze. The dwarves seemed to be far more infatuated with glass than the wine itself.
“I do know how to make glass. If Bart or the other dwarves want to learn it, I can teach them. It’s not an impressive technique though.” Alan said indifferently.
In his previous life, glass was a common material, and the method of making glass was well-known. Alan’s original work was related to the internet. He had seen the method of making glass many times, so he naturally remembered it.
Even if the system had not given him the blueprint, he could still teach Bart.
After listening to Alan’s answer, Babor did not say many reminders like Bart did. He just nodded, a satisfied smile on his face, and looked at Alan with gratitude.
“You should know that the main reason why the dwarves can survive until now is because of our race’s special forging technology. If you are interested, I can ask Bart to teach you. This forging method is also very effective for strengthening the body.”
After saying that, Babor obediently listened to Alan’s advice and sipped the wine in the cup.
Alan seemed to come to a realization. How could he not have thought that he could learn skills that strengthen his body despite not having any magic talent!
“Hiss — ha — tsk tsk –“
“This is one hell of a wine!”
After finishing the wine, Babor placed the small wine glass on the table and exclaimed.
“Of course. After a while, I’ll be able to make even stronger wine. You can come and drink it then.”
Aaron responded proudly, and Babor was surprised.
He gradually developed a liking for wine making. It was different from the way he dealt with tasks in the beginning. Now, he was looking forward to every reward from the system. Each mission rewarded on type of wine, and ten missions equal ten types of wine.
He was still immersed in the fantasy that he would soon obtain a fourth type of new wine.
“Little Alan, have you been to the streets recently? Do you know that your electricity popularization plan is almost complete?”
The moment Kramer entered the tavern, he went straight to Alan’s position and asked excitedly.
Although Severino didn’t say anything, the excitement on his face was also obvious.
“It’s almost done? I haven’t been out on the streets recently. I thought it would take more time.”
Alan was still a little surprised when he heard the news. Bart and Shaman were progressing much faster than he had expected.
“Yes, they should be able to use the electricity in about three days. There are still a few residents who haven’t installed incandescent lamps in their homes, but I believe that it won’t be long before the electricity fully popularized!”
Kramer excitedly described the situation that he had seen.
“Then let’s hold another celebration in three days! When the sky turns dark, all the incandescent lamps in the city will light up at the same time. The scene will be quite spectacular!”
Alan voiced out his thoughts.
“Celebration! That’s a good idea. Let’s hold another celebration like the harvest season!”
Severino was excited when he heard about the celebration.
“Little Alan, think about it. How are we going to do this celebration? We still have three days to prepare.”
Alan looked at the two excited middle-aged men in front of him. His greasy face was full of anticipation.
“Three days. Let’s make it simple. Let those who are interested join in. We will light all the incandescent lamps at the same time when the sky is dark. After that, it will be time for everyone to party, dance, and play some games. Let the merchants close their doors later so that everyone can stroll around…”
Three days was not a long time, and there were not many things that could be prepared. Alan said a lot, and compared to the planning for the harvest season, it was much simpler.
“Oh right, when will Wayne and Dorje set off?”
After Alan finished talking about the celebration, he asked about Wayne and the others’ plan.
Kramer first looked around to make sure that there were no suspicious targets. He asked Alan to come closer and whispered into his ear.
“They will leave with the supplies in the middle of the night. This operation needs to be done in secret. I’m worried that Roders’s assassins are also hiding in Rock City. The governor’s mansion has arranged for people to follow them to transport the supplies.”
Alan’s expression was calm after hearing this. No emotions could be seen at all. Although he was still very worried, there were two of them this time. They had to face a whole team of enemies..
