Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start-Chapter 86 - The Beginning of the Chaos
Chapter 86: The Beginning of the Chaos
Even though the sky was dark, the celebration was still held as scheduled.
Today, the faces of the residents of the city were filled with smiles.
Alan looked at the sky that did not show a trace of light, and his heart felt a little gloomy. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
“Yupanki, go to the bell tower later. If anything happens, don’t worry about anything. Protect Lolita well and return to the tavern as quickly as possible. Remember, the tavern is the safest place in the entire Rock City.”
Alan could not help but say this, his expression somewhat solemn.
“Alan, you… What’s going on?”
Yupanki was puzzled. He had never seen Alan acted so serious before.
Alan went silent. He only looked at the gloomy sky, his heart inexplicably heavy.
“I have a very bad feeling… something bad will happen today.”
Abraham, who had just arrived at the door of the tavern, heard Alan’s words and was shocked.
“Abraham, I haven’t seen you for a few days. How’s the business experience of the blacksmith shop?”
Alan greeted him first.
“Your feeling is right. I have the same feeling. Be careful tonight.”
After saying that, he did not wait for them to react. He just walked past the two of them at the door into the tavern and went to talk to Lolita.
Alan turned around and glanced at him. Was this the confirmation of the upcoming attack from the Abyss?
The lighting ceremony after the sunset was the prelude to the beginning of Rock City’s celebration. For Alan, this was the first step in bringing the entire city into the industrial era.
When everyone gathered on the streets, the ruthlessness on everyone’s faces and the impact caused by the gray fog seemed to be suppressed.
There was a bell tower in the central square. This was the highest point of Rock City. This position not only allowed one to see the scenery of the entire city, but one could even see the roads outside the city.
This bell tower had been built for hundreds of years. After generations of renovations and wars, it had always stood in the center of Rock City.
In the evening, Alan led his friends to the top floor of the bell tower. The governor, Kramer and the administrative officer, Severino was already waiting.
In the past, when Rock City held any celebration, there would be people giving orders from the bell tower. After Alan proposed the idea of making a loudspeaker, the function of the bell tower as the city’s mouthpiece became even more important.
The top of the bell tower was arranged like a broadcasting station. There were only fences that were half the height of a person on four sides. The half-open-air broadcasting station had a different style.
Wayne still hadn’t returned. Alan’s heart was full of regret and worry.
The bad premonition for the whole day was all because of the unknown. He didn’t know what would happen next. He just kept sensing that something very bad would happen in the near future.
Abraham, Lolita, Xiaohei, and Xiaobai all waited with Alan on the bell tower. Sofia was invited by Kramer and Severino to watch the first moment when the lights were turned on.
“What’s wrong with Little Alan? He’s kept frowning.”
Kramer asked happily with a smile on his face.
When he stood on the bell tower, he was higher and closer to the gray fog.
Alan frowned and looked at the gray fog outside, feeling uneasy.
“I, actually, had a very bad feeling very early today. I keep feeling that something is going to happen soon…”
“Are you too worried about Wayne and the others? Perhaps you feel uneasy because you haven’t seen them come back?”
Sofia followed up with a question after Alan finished speaking.
“No, it’s not the worry for them. It’s just a premonition of what will happen next…” Alan answered with a frown.
The older people were all silent at his words.
They were willing to take the words of this young man who had created miracles many times to heart.
Kramer and Severino looked at each other and made a decision immediately.
“Severino, go to the square and arrange for the soldiers to be ready to deal with the crisis at any time. Prepare the evacuation route for the residents.”
“Yes!”
With that, Severino left the top of the bell tower and went to the square to make the arrangements.
“What if my feeling is wrong, Uncle Kramer?”
At this moment, Alan was a bit uncertain.
“Don’t worry, Little Alan. If nothing happens, that will be the best scenario. If something really happens, we’ve made preparations in advance. It’ll be better to get prepare first.”
After saying that, Kramer looked at Alan with a smile as if he was comforting him.
Standing behind Lolita, Abraham looked conflicted. When he was still conflicted about Wayne’s attitude towards him, it turned out that the demon’s attack was almost here.
This morning, when he woke up, he suddenly felt his heart palpitate. He vaguely heard Demon King’s voice, as if it was telling him that today was the day of operations.
Before he could ask, the feeling had disappeared. He had no way to confirm it.
That was why he had gone to the tavern early to discuss it with Lolita.
Lolita also said that she had the same feeling, but she was not sure if it was her father’s voice transmission.
Ai Xiaohei’s face was full of confusion. Even Xiaobai, who was standing at the side, did not retort as usual. He was just immersed in his own world.
Until the sky turned completely dark.
The residents were full of anticipation. They had been waiting for the revelation of the ceremony. They waved the flowers in their hands excitedly and shouted loudly, “The countdown begins!”.
Alan stared at the sky in front of him, as if there was some peerless beauty in that position.
Abraham and Lolita also looked at the small patch of sky at the first moment.
“Ten…”
“Nine…”
“Eight…”
The residents were counting down, and festive music was playing on the loudspeaker.
Looking down, they could vaguely see Severino’s figure trying to maintain order.
At this moment, a familiar fluctuation appeared in the air in front of the bell tower.
Xiaohei’s petite body tensed up, and Xiaobai was standing close to Lolita’s legs.
Cold sweat broke out on Abraham’s face under the hood.
“He’s here…”
Alan whispered something that only Kramer, Sofia, and Abraham could hear.
The spatial barrier that blocked the Abyss and the human world slowly appeared in the air in front of them again.
The passageway that connected the two worlds was finally connected again.
From where Alan stood, he could vaguely see the situation on the other side.
Behind the illusory door in the air, four figures gradually appeared. The biggest difference between these demons and humans was that each of them had two horns on their heads, but the shapes of the horns were different.
“Little Alan, you should go first!”
When Kramer saw this scene, he hurriedly called for everyone to retreat first.
After Alan finally confirmed what that terrible feeling was, his uneasiness finally calmed down a little.
From his understanding of the Abyss, the terror of the Abyss was not even as great as the war between the two empires. It did not bring too much fear to him.
