Chapter 32: Alice's Introspection
As soon as he finished eating the hamburger, Bai Lao left in a hurry, making people feel that he was here specifically for this......
Rowan watched his back fade into the shadows before gently closing the door and returning to the lobby.
He sat down at the table, quietly thinking about what Bai Lao had told him.
"I didn't expect that this Demon Palace Technique from the Misty World could involve so many things in reality! The City of Hérault, the Empire of Baia, the Power of Sin......"
"I've been busy with business for the past few days, and I've almost forgotten that this is a fantasy world, where swords and magic are the main themes."
"In a world where there is no absolute law, the slightest omission can lead to death."
"But with the Misty World as a backing, I don't need to be too afraid!"
Then, he stood up, cleaned up everything on the table, and walked to the wall to remove the menu board.
But he thought about it for a moment, and hung the menu board back up, just erasing all the handwriting on the menu board with a board eraser!
"This menu board hangs right here, and in the morning, I'll ask Lisa to write a new puzzle on it, and it's a regular event in the tavern. As for the rewards...... Let's use the Royal Chicken Burger instead! ”
On the one hand, the topic caused by the puzzle works really well, and it can just relieve the boredom of waiting in line.
On the other hand, you have to give some new customers the opportunity to taste the food, so that you can retain more people!
After making a plan, Rowan entered the misty world and took out the automatically collected tomatoes and potatoes, and then went to sleep in a small hut.
……
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Lisa and Obi arrive at the tavern, and Rowan asks Owan to go to the kitchen to prepare as usual, and then asks Lisa to go to the vegetable market to buy the missing ingredients.
And he himself picked up his tools and began to clean the tavern.
But he only cleaned for a moment and then stopped, because Alice, the vice president of the "Children of the Farm", came!
When Alice appeared at the door, she was directly wearing the spare maid outfit, because the maid outfit was customized according to Lisa's figure, so the chest part around the lace was very tight, and the two barely buttoned buttons seemed to be bounced open at any time, which was extremely dangerous.
"Do the clothes still fit?"
"Okay."
"Then get to work! You start by sweeping the floor of the tavern. ”
Rowan unceremoniously began to command.
After Alice took the broom, she cleaned it up without saying a word!
It is obvious that she is very depressed, and she is not used to cleaning, and her movements of sweeping the floor and table are very rusty.
But who doesn't start with the first time?
At least she seemed to want to do it, not lazy or troublesome.
When she was done, Rowan called her to the counter and asked her to sit down across from him, taking a closer look at the vice president of the Adventure Guild for the first time.
In Rowan's opinion, since Alice can follow an adventurous guild into the labyrinth adventure as the vice-captain, it must not be just a simple burden, otherwise she would have died a long time ago!
In terms of strength, even if she is not as good as John, she is definitely much stronger than ordinary people.
And her biggest problem should be in her mentality!
But after what happened to John, she should have realized her mistake very deeply by now, right?
That's a good sign!
So after Rowan tapped his knuckles on the table twice, he asked straight to the point, "Alice, do you want to go back to the guild?" ”
Alice was stunned for a moment, she didn't quite understand why Rowan asked such a question, so she didn't answer for a while.
Rowan waited patiently.
After a while, Alice bit her lip and squeezed out a word: "Yes." ”
Rowan asked again, "Then do you know why you were driven to work in my tavern?" ”
Alice's eyes widened sharply as she looked at him, "I know! ”
Rowan perked up: "Let's talk about it." ”
Alice immediately said, "Because I'm too weak!" ”
Rowan: "What? ”
Alice stopped and said, "If I'm stronger, stronger, what is the Scythe Demon?" As long as I can be strong enough to hunt the Scythe Demon easily, John won't be hacked, I won't be scolded, and they won't blame me! ”
The more she talked, the more excited she became, and finally she was almost yelling at Rowan's face!
Rowan and her eyes were big and small, and there seemed to be a million *** roaring in her heart, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
That's what you realize?
Is this how you really feel when you're kicked out of the team?
It turns out that you still haven't figured out what your problem is.
I'm sorry, I overestimated you!
Holding all kinds of thoughts, Rowan hurriedly pressed Alice's shoulders and stretched her body far away: "Don't get excited, you're okay like this." ”
Alice: "What, what's okay?" ”
Rowan changed his words: "That's it, when Lisa comes back, you first follow her to learn how to be a qualified waiter." Well, although she's not qualified either. ”
It seems that because the long-pent-up emotions in her heart have finally been vented, Alice gradually calmed down: "Okay, I'll study hard!" ”
Let's hope......
Rowan quietly wiped a handful of sweat in his heart, he originally planned to let Alice replace Lisa as a waiter, and then let Lisa go to the counter as a teller, so that he could be freed from busy homework and start raising dogs and eating chickens......
But now it seems that if you want to be truly liberated, you have to hire another waiter!
And in order for the tavern job to really stabilize, it is also necessary to help Obi recruit an apprentice chef.
So when Lisa came back with a lot of ingredients, Rowan asked her to draw up another recruitment posting, which was still a standard salary, including food or shelter.
After hanging up the job posting, Rowan asks Lisa to write a puzzle on the menu board on the wall, and the reward is a royal chicken burger.
The initial puzzle was very simple, and Rowan found one at random in his memory: "What is four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?"
After writing, Lisa stood by the wall and looked at the puzzle she had written, and couldn't help but tilt her head and ask, "Four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening...... What kind of monster is this? Slime Monsters? Or is it a tentacle demon? ”
Obi also came out of the kitchen: "This ...... It must be some kind of monster that can change form, right? ”
Even Alice joined in the fun: "I've heard that the Water Labyrinth has a monster that can change form over time, but not many people have seen it. ”
The three of them stood and discussed for a few minutes, but still couldn't come up with an answer, so Lisa simply asked Rowan, "Boss, what is the answer to this riddle?" Tell us about it. ”
Rowan stood silently, smiling without saying a word.
In fact, he was really a little apprehensive just now, afraid that there are really that kind of mysterious creatures in this world that change their feet in the morning, noon and evening!
In the midst of Lisa's complaints, the Flame Girl Tavern is open for a new day.
