Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start-Chapter 17
Chapter 17: Under Attack in the Forest
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the other side, the princess and her entourage were hurrying through the Forest of Elves.
As the convoy entered the depths of the forest, the procession gradually lengthened, and the long convoy meandered through the forest.
The trees around them grew thicker and thicker, and the branches and leaves grew luxuriously.
“Your Highness, can you still sense danger?” The maid in the princess’ carriage asked in a low voice.
Not long after Olivia entered the forest, she sensed a very strong malicious intent staring at them.
Stanton was constantly on guard around the carriage after he knew. As the convoy went deeper into the forest, the dense trees forced the entire convoy to change its formation into a column. If such a formation was attacked, it would be difficult to defend.
He had to be fully alert to the dangers that could happen at any time.
Olivia’s premonition ability was more like a talent. She was always able to sense things before they happened, and occasionally she would have a clear premonition.
Stanton did not doubt her premonition.
The place they were about to reach was the outermost area of the elven encampment. The density of the forest in front of them could not be compared to the forest they had passed through previously.
Even though it was daytime, it still felt a little gloomy when they looked into the depths of the forest.
“Your Highness, take a rest first. We are about to enter the real Forest of Elves.” Stanton said to the princess who was sitting in the carriage.
Olivia frowned. The ominous feeling was getting stronger and stronger. However, after entering the forest, she had to nod in agreement when she saw that the other servants were already very tired.
The knights and servants gathered the carriages together and tried their best to gather near the princess to rest.
“Stanton, I don’t feel good. A disaster is about to befall us...”Olivia was still holding the bottle of high-level magic Lafite in her hand. She immediately told her Chief Knight about her feelings.
Before she got a response from the knight, she heard soft rustling sounds around her.
Stanton quickly stood up in a defensive position and stood beside the princess.
Seeing their boss’ actions, the other knights and servants also quickly got up for battle.
Then, from the depths of the dark forest, there were many footsteps coming from all directions.
Stanton knew that they were ambushed.
Just as Olivia’s convoy was surrounded, a man in black walked out from behind the assassins. He was not tall, but compared to Statham, he was like a dwarf.
He had a broadsword on his back and was dressed in ordinary knight attire. He was not wearing any armor.
“Yupanki, it is you!” Stanton looked at the people walking out from behind the tree and understood the situation. When his group was surrounded by assassins, he already guessed in his heart.
After Stanton knew who his opponent was, he became even more cautious.
He carefully counted the number of assassins who continuously surrounded him while looking for an opportunity to attack.
“Hmph, don’t even think about escaping Stanton. This time, I’ve made full preparations before making my move.” Standing at the end of the crowd, he smiled arrogantly at Stanton.
..
The battle in the forest was about to erupt.
In Alan’s tavern in Rock City, business was still not picking up.
The governor was the best way to promote his tavern, but still, no one came.
On this day, Alan was still in a daze behind the bar counter, bored to death.
An unexpected guest came in from outside the bar.
“Yo, little guy, I didn’t expect your bar to really be open.”
A forthright male voice came from the man at the door.
Alan raised his head and looked at the man in astonishment. “Hey, mister, it’s you. Do you want to come in for a drink?” Even though there was some unpleasantness before, the man was still a guest. He quickly reacted and greeted him with a smile.
This was the first time that the person sitting on the other side of the bar was not an elf. Alan felt a little disappointed. He was not used to it at all.
“Your place is quite decent after renovations. It doesn’t look like it used to at all.” The man sighed as he sat down and looked around the shop.
Alan was secretly happy in his heart. You guys looked down on me and doubted me in the beginning, but now see how well I’m doing!
Although Wayne’s expression wasn’t obvious, his heart was already in turmoil. When he first saw the young man in front of him a month ago and said that the tavern was reopened, no one believed him. The tavern at the end of the street had been closed for a long, long time. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
Then, half a month ago, the governor and his administrative officer were taken away by the young man from the elven tavern. In these two days, news had spread throughout Rock City that the governor brought distinguished guests to the tavern for a drink two days ago. They heard that the guest all left very satisfied.
Because there wasn’t much business in the shop today, Wayne closed up early. He was about to go to the elven tavern for a drink, but when he reached the fork in the road, he suddenly thought of Alan’s tavern. It was just around the corner and he thought of the rumors about the tavern that had been circulating in Rock City for the past month.
Finally, he couldn’t help his curiosity and was prompted to come to the tavern tonight.
The sky was not completely dark yet, the sun was still hanging in the west, dutifully releasing the last of its warmth. The candles in the tavern were not lit yet, borrowing that last bit of sunlight, the tavern did not appear dim.
“Mister, since you’re already here, do you want to try my new alcoholic beverage?” Alan saw that he was deep in thought for a long time and did not say anything, so he softly reminded him.
“What kind of alcohol do you have?” The man did not notice the menu on the wall just now, but when he heard Alan’s question, he pulled his attention back to the young man in front of him.
“The menu on the wall shows the wine that is currently sold in the tavern.” Following Alan’s pointing finger, the man shifted his gaze to the wall behind him.
“Whoa...” this short menu shocked the man.
“This... this... magic Lafite, does it mean that it contains magic power?” The man asked, flabbergasted.
“That’s right, and the magic power contained in it is most effective for mages below mid-level. It can increase the speed of meditation and gather a large amount of magic power at once to help the drinker speed up their training.”
When Alan explained, he still had a warm smile on his face, but the little angel in his heart was gloating and laughing at the sky.
“Oh my god...You can really brew a wine that contains magic?” The man’s face was still filled with doubt. To the people of the Hailar continent, items that contained magic power were extremely rare and hard to come by.
The wine that Alan brewed contained magic power, which was very impressive.
The man’s expression was constantly changing, he was both doubtful and intrigued.. He was very conflicted.
