Chapter Eighty-Nine: Return of Glory
Downstairs, Fideon was helping Belle with her work as a waitress, and the bard, who had no tools, could not play, so he had to do what he could first.
"Looks like you've adapted pretty quickly...... "Carey got off and joined the busy business, quipping at the same time.
"You know, this is my old business, and I don't need to get used to it, but I suggest you do a little more to decorate the tavern. Fideon suggested.
"It's been in my plan all along......" Carey smiled helplessly.
Even if I wanted to make a major renovation of the tavern, it would take a long time to make a major renovation with the current construction methods, especially during this period when the number of craftsmen was particularly scarce.
Most of the craftsmen in the Darkless City, which was attacked by Roy, were transferred, and the progress of the city hall that had been built was completely stagnant.
The two chatted for a while, but Belle interrupted and protested, and Carey found that his boss seemed to have less and less status, but he was still very cooperative and quickly apologized.
When he was working in the original world, he heard his boss say that he should be kind to those employees who dare to put forward their opinions, they are a group of people who really think about the company.
......
Time passed, and three days later, Roy returned to Eternal Light City with the guards, and the streets were suddenly crowded with people, as lively as a festival.
Carey didn't go out to meet them, and stood leisurely at the door of his tavern with melon seeds in his hands, happy for Roy.
"Why don't you join in the fun? I remember that this glory belongs to you, right?" said Ari, who put on his dark green coat again, hiding himself in the deep darkness.
Her injuries healed quickly, and as soon as the wounds healed, she was reluctant to stay in the quiet of her room.
Carey shook his head: "When the grade is older, they prefer to be quiet, and the glory is left to them." ”
"Yes, you are a strange man, and in Kars, the glory of victory is something that every warrior wants to fight for. Ari glanced at Carey, who looked exactly like a bystander, and persuaded him.
"Well, that's right, after all, that's how young people want to prove their worth, and I obviously don't need to, besides, I'm just an ordinary tavernkeeper, not a warrior......" Carey first agreed with Ari's words, but the latter words left Ari speechless.
Roy was dressed in armor and rode on a handsome and tall black horse, causing the girls on both sides to let out extremely passionate screams.
"It seems that he is a very beloved lord...... "Fidien came to the two of them with a small instrument, the lute, in his arms.
The lute looked like any guitar he'd ever seen, but Fidin's hand had a half-pear shape, with a rounded back instead of a flat guitar.
Carey nodded and said in agreement, "Maybe if you stay for a while, you can feel the difference between him and other lords." ”
Fidien just nodded, didn't answer again, but looked at Ari and said, "Miss Ari, I've been all over the streets of Eternal Light City in the past few days, if you want to walk around or want to try special food, you can tell me, I promise to satisfy you." ”
Without waiting for Ari to speak, Carey smiled, "What did I say you were busy with these days, for this?"
"Of course, prioritizing familiarity with the environment is one of the secrets that have allowed me to live so long. Fideon said with nothing to hide.
"Really, I'm looking forward to it, it's been a long time since I've been here, and I don't dare to go anywhere but the tavern. "Ari didn't turn down Fidin's kindness.
As the three of them spoke, Roy's team passed by, and Carey made eye contact with Roy for a few seconds, and Roy made a gesture towards Carey.
Carey chuckled and nodded, this gesture was originally used as a child, Roy was often locked up in the castle by his father, in order to sneak out, he agreed with Carey Taylor to make a few gestures, which were used to determine the time to complete the "prison break" operation.
Seeing Roy passing by the tavern, Carey was about to turn around and go back to his room to continue studying alchemy, when he suddenly noticed a middle-aged man in a black coat walking towards the tavern with an expressionless face.
After walking into the tavern, he saw the three of them and asked indifferently, "Tavern?"
Carey nodded subconsciously, the middle-aged man no longer looked at the three of them, walked in by himself, found a decliner and sat down, and said, "Wine!"
"What do you want, sir, we have wine, ale and whiskey here. Carey wanted to say that it wasn't business hours yet, but seeing that he was already seated, he changed the words to ask.
The man in black was silent for a moment: "All of them!"
Carey was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied, "Okay, you wait!"
Seeing that there were visitors, Ari no longer leaned against the door to watch the excitement, but returned to the counter, glanced at the man in black, and felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
"Sir, I am the bard of the tavern, what kind of music do you like, I can do everything in your power so that you don't get bored during the waiting time. Fidien smiled and went up for warm service.
The middle-aged man just glanced at him coldly and didn't say anything, making Fidin's smile stiffen.
"Oh, so I'll pick a few random songs for you that have been ordered by guests lately, and I hope you like it. Fidien easily took a moment of embarrassment and immediately added.
"Muddy streets, long, meaningless journeys, from nothingness to nothingness, no one tells me where the road lies ahead......"
With the unique folk sound of the lute and the deep voice of Fidien, the tavern suddenly seemed so deserted.
Carey prepared a few side dishes to accompany the wine, poured a glass of whiskey, put in a few ice cubes, and placed it in front of the man in black: "Wine needs to be awakened first, you taste the whiskey first." ”
The man in black nodded slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, but then Carey noticed that his hand seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Are you alright, sir?"
The man in black continued to pour himself a glass as if he hadn't heard Kairi's concern, and drank it all again.
Seeing that there was no reply, Carey returned to Ari: "I don't know what blow this gentleman has received, and he wants to get himself drunk." ”
Ari whispered, "I felt a little familiar feeling from him, but I didn't remember seeing him, and I don't know where this familiar feeling came from." ”
"Well, I seem to be ...... There is also some familiarity. Carey said with some surprise.
"The two little ones have a strong sense of spirituality, and I'm Ned. After drinking a few glasses, the man in black said indifferently.
