Chapter 30: Alice
Lisa glanced over there and said disdainfully, "A man and a woman, what else can it be?" There's something wrong with your feelings! β
Obi also sighed: "The troubles of young people are really envious. β
Luo Wen's heart moved, and asked, "Lao Ao, you are so old, why don't you find a female companion?" β
Obi shook his head: "The problems of life have not been solved yet, how can you have the heart to find a woman?" β
He was only in his early forties, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were already full of wrinkles, and his eyebrows were full of folds, which were the remnants of the vicissitudes of wind and rain.
Rowan whispered, "Why don't you talk about your past?" β
"In the past......"
Obi took a deep breath, but couldn't start telling her story.
Because Brak in the corner suddenly stood up, the atmosphere between the two was very stiff, and the sounds of the surrounding laughter suddenly disappeared because of their behavior, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.
Obviously, the guild members, as cheerful as they looked, were quietly keeping an eye on their presidents and vice-presidents.
The red-haired Black pushed the chair away and walked around Alice's side, then grabbed her wrist and pulled her up from her seat very hard: "Follow me!" β
Rowan thought that Blake would pull Alice out of the tavern and talk alone, but he pulled Alice over to this side!
Under everyone's gaze, Blake pulled Alice to Rowan's table, and then said, "Hello, boss." When we first met, I was Blake, the president of the Farmboys. It's abrupt, but I have a request! β
This was really abrupt, Rowan didn't quite understand what he meant, but he still stood up and shook hands with him: "I'm Rowan." If you have something, you don't have to make any detours. β
Blake was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled: "Although I have heard John say it, Boss Luo is really a free and easy person." β
Luo Wen shook his head slightly: "I don't dare to be free and easy, it's just that there are too many bends, and it's troublesome." β
Blake smiled heartily and pulled Alice behind him over: "Then I'll say it directly!" John told me that business in your tavern is so good that the waiters are completely busy. I was thinking, are you going to hire a new waiter in the near future? If so, can you try her? β
Luo Wen frowned: "But she, isn't she your vice president?" β
Alice frowned, very reluctantly, but she seemed to have been persuaded by Blake, and did not say anything to refute it at the moment.
Lisa, who was on the side, was overjoyed when she heard their conversation, and she couldn't wait to agree immediately.
"Alice is indeed the vice president of our guild, but she's not suited to fighting, so I'd like to keep her here," Blake said. β
Rowan said: "That's the reason? While the tavern does need a new waiter, I'm not going to take in someone I don't know. β
Blake's smile suddenly retracted, and he said in a slightly gloomy voice: "Alice made a mistake, I'm not going to take her into the maze again!" β
Rowan frowned slightly, looked at Alice, and found that she lowered her head, bit her lips and teeth, and clenched her five fingers into a fist, extremely unwilling.
"As you may already know, John's arm was badly wounded by a scythe demon! If he wasn't lucky enough, the knife would have cut off his right arm and he would never be able to pick up the sword again! And the person who almost ruined him was Alice! β
Alice's head lowered and lowered, and her body in a pale off-the-shoulder dress trembled slightly, desperately enduring her emotions.
Rowan couldn't help frowning: "How do you say this?" β
Blake snorted coldly: "The labyrinth is a very dangerous place, and we adventurers face the danger of our lives every moment when exploring the labyrinth. In order to reduce this risk, we will set up adventure guilds to work as a team to get through the difficulties. But although Alice is the vice president, she does not listen to the command, is a maverick, and loses her temper in the dangerous labyrinth, completely ignoring the safety of her partners! She has been like this again and again, and in the last expedition, she attracted a horde of scythe demons because of it! John was stabbed to save her! Otherwise, with his skills, even if the speed of the Scythe Demon is fast, it is impossible to slash him! β
He spoke unceremoniously, and the whole tavern fell silent, and everyone listened to him count Alice, some were silent, some were unbearable, and some were clearly on Blake's side, looking at Alice with a slightly accusatory gaze.
Faced with this scene of near-public execution, Alice's body trembled more and more, and her ten fingers almost pinched into her palm, but she still endured it and did not make a sound.
But John's voice suddenly came from the crowd: "I said President, Miss Alice knows that she is wrong, so forgive her." The knife I got in didn't hurt much, and it was going to be healed soon. Didn't I say that? I used to let the shrine maidens divination, and she said that my adventure luck was extraordinarily strong......"
"Say no more!" Blake scolded, "It's because you've been spoiling her that she's the way she is!" You were the one who helped him get the knife this time, and who will be the one who helped her get the knife next time? It's not that good luck every time! I am your president, you have entrusted my life to me, and I must be responsible for your trust! β
John opened his mouth to say something, but was immediately covered by the person next to him.
Blake looked down at Alice and said in a deep voice, "Alice, would you like to be a waitress in this tavern?" β
Alice twitched violently, but nodded imperceptibly.
At first glance, she seems to have deeply realized her mistake.
Rowan carefully observed her reaction, this Alice was obviously a big lady's temper, and now she endured it so that she didn't break out, and it was a shame that she could bear it......
Blake said again: "Boss Luo, what do you think?" If nothing else, I can guarantee that Alice will work hard! β
"Really?" Rowan looked down at Alice herself, "I need her to say yes." β
Blake turned around and said, "Alice, tell the boss that you will work hard?" β
Alice said in a barely audible voice, "Yes, yes." β
Rowan looked up slightly at John.
When John saw him coming, he quickly folded his hands and bowed his head.
Rowan sighed helplessly: "For John's sake, let her try it out in my tavern for a month." A month later, if she still wants to, she signs a formal contract. β
Blake hurriedly said: "Boss Luo is really fast!" If the Flame Maiden needs help in the future, just come to us Sons of the Farm! β
Rowan waved his hand and signaled, "Lisa, take out the spare maid clothes in the store and let her try them on, if there is no problem, start trying it out tomorrow." β
