Chapter 100 - A New Chapter!
Chapter 100: A New Chapter!
Due to the gray fog, Rock City had not seen sunlight for a long time.
Occasionally, Alan would feel a little depressed. It was not because of the gray fog. It was just that in such a gloomy environment, it was very easy for people to feel depressed.
When Alan was depressed, he liked to do nothing. He would lie on the bar counter and watch Yupanki busying himself. He would just stay lazy for a while.
Ai Xiaohei did not seem to have much energy either. She looked a little unhappy. She had lost the vitality she had when Lolita was still in the tavern.
Speaking of Lolita, one had to mention about her magical pet, Xiaobai.
That mutated dog had completely lost the prestige of the three-headed dog clan when it came to the human world.
Xiaobai in the human world was indeed not much different from an ordinary dog. It was not strong, and it could not have three heads.
Lolita returned to the Abyss, and Xiaobai was left in the human world. Until the end of the battle that day, no one paid attention to him.
When the incident ended and everyone returned to the tavern, Ai Xiaohei was bullying it again. Only then did Alan find out.
He could not let Ai Xiaohei bully it anymore. Xiaobai was already miserable enough.
Therefore, Xiaobai started a retirement life in the tavern.
Xiaobai did not respond to Xiaohei’s provocation anymore. Alan was worried about Xiaobai’s Buddhist-like behavior. He was afraid that Lolita would find out that her dog had become a monk when she came back.
The gray fog, which was also known as the smog, could not be eliminated in a short period of time. Alan was ready to fight for a long time.
Scientific research was such a rigorous work, and it needed time to complete. Therefore, Alan never urged the progress of the dwarves.
If there was anything that could not be solved, Bart would naturally come to him to discuss it.
After Shaman delivered the nutrient solution formula that had been successfully analyzed and the rest of the nutrient solution to the tavern, he never appeared again.
Alan was a little anxious. After all, this was a major matter that concerned whether the tavern could be renovated.
Recently, the tavern had added many permanent residents, and the rooms were already very tight.
Alan estimated that there would be more new friends joining soon, so renovations and expansion were imperative.
For the first three days of Beelzebub in the tavern, he was unwilling to share a room with Asmodeus and Samael. He just sat by the back door for three days and three nights.
Alan also saw it, but he had no choice. He couldn’t give up his own room to him.
On the night of the third day, everyone heard Beelzebub’s tearful accusation against his companions. Yupanki could not bear it and decided to offer his room to Beelzebub.
After three days of torture, Beelzebub finally accepted the cruel reality and was willing to share a room with Yupanki.
With such an arrangement, Alan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Asmodeus and Samael slept for three days and three nights in a row. Finally, they woke up on the fourth morning. Judging from their condition, their injuries had basically improved.
When Beelzebub woke up on the fifth morning, Alan poured them Lafite to help them recover as soon as possible.
Alan thought that he would always remember the scene when the three demon lords drank magic wine for the first time. There was an indescribable feeling of tiredness in their hearts.
Beelzebub cried on the spot, and as he cried, he shouted, “Your Highness, I’ve let you down, I’ve let you down…”
Then, he crazily poured wine into his mouth.
After that morning, the tavern’s Lafite inventory was in short supply. Alan once again took root in the winery and desperately made wine.
Asmodeus explained on the side, “Beelzebub’s code name is gluttony, and that’s the reason.”
He could not control his appetite when he encountered food he liked, and he would eat crazily. If his appetite was not satisfied, he would instantly become extremely irritable.
This was the origin of the Glutton Lord.
As for the titles of anger and lust, it was very easy to understand. One was very irritable, and the other was very lecherous.
Samael was usually very normal, but as long as Abraham was mentioned, he would become a different person. He became anxious, uneasy, easily angered.
Asmodeus, the title of lust was obtained entirely because of his lecherous personality. When he was in the Abyss, he stayed by the side of different women every day.
It was said that despite he was Lust Lord, but he was still a virgin until now.
Every time the light was off, he would run away habitually, then search for the next target and start from scratch.
Because the same thing had happened too many times, most of the women of the demon race were clear about his routine. Gradually, his plan of delivering warmth became useless.
Alan felt that Asmodeus must have some psychological barrier.
Orina’s return had greatly enhanced the small tavern. After all, he had to face a group of men all day long, it was very boring and dull.
After obtaining a new ukulele, Orina would bring her it with her wherever she went. When she was in the mood, she would play two songs.
The customers of the tavern also knew that the instrument in the hands of the beautiful elf was the only one in the entire continent. It was a token of love given to her by Alan.
Originally, many people came to the tavern out of curiosity, wanting to hear how wonderful the performance of this unique instrument was.
However, after coming here a few times, they found that the songs played by this special musical instrument were all too good to listen to, and each song was a melody that they had never heard before.
More and more customers who had heard of it liked it and began to promote it spontaneously. The small tavern was once again popular thanked to Orina.
Yupanki was so busy every day that he didn’t even have time to stand still. In the middle of the night, he still had to sort out information and report to the princess in the distant imperial capital in a timely manner. He was never tired of such a fulfilling and ordinary life.
As the person who was most anxious to deal with the gray fog, Abraham would go to the dwarves and Elf Tavern every other day to check on the progress. Everyone was very disturbed by him. After they complained to Alan, the situation improved slightly, and Abraham would only go to the tavern once every two days.
Wayne and Dorje would come to the tavern to drink at the usual time.
Because of the electric lights, the daily life in Rock City was still passable under the influence of the gray fog. The lights were always on, and the people did not completely lose their light.
Kramer and Severino were busy dealing with the internal and external affairs of the city. They did not have time to come to the tavern.
It was said that all the cities on the border were under the siege of the Roders Empire, and the situation was not good. The neighboring cities were also in danger.
This time, Kramer did not dare to send people to rescue them. He was afraid that Rock City would be besieged after he sent people out.
Now that the problem of the gray fog had not been completely solved, he could not let his guard down. If he let enemies take advantage of the defense gap, Rock City would be doomed.
Under the influence of the gray fog, the entire Rock City fell into a state of decadence. Many jobs had been suspended.
The men and women who had been idle began to look for all kinds of interesting entertainment activities. Therefore, taverns and mahjong became the most popular things.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Today was the deadline for the time-limited mission.
Alan did not receive any news from Shaman.
He was lying on the bar counter and sighing. He could not bear to part with his renovation reward, but there was nothing he could do.
There were only five minutes left until the deadline. Alan felt that there was no hope left.
Just as he had given up on this mission, an excited shout came from outside the tavern.
“Alan, Alan… the arcade machine is done, I’ve done it!”
