Chapter Thirty-Six: The West Street Bar
Arman frowned after listening to Matthews's report, to his surprise, a few magic apprentices were not as easy to deal with as he imagined.
"They're not alert to anything, are they?"
"Probably not!" They talked and laughed on the way back, behaved normally, and were in the mood to go to the market, so they shouldn't have noticed anything abnormal.
"It's good that we don't find out, so we still have a chance, otherwise we have to be careful, these guys are even more difficult to deal with than I thought. β
"Yes, Boss. I just received news that they plan to go to the bar tonight. Matthews thought to himself as he spoke: If these guys are easy to deal with, will you be beaten into a pig's head?
"Bar?" Arman was clearly interested in the news, "let's keep an eye on them, see which bar they go to, and then go to Southside to hire a few thugs." β
"Boss, what do you mean...?"
"Hmph, isn't it normal for a few little magic apprentices to get into a fight with someone in the bar and then be beaten half to death and thrown into the street?"
"High, really high!" said Matthews gave Arman a thumbs up with a look of adoration.
Arman was very satisfied with the compliment of the younger brother, smiled proudly, and said: "Be cautious about hiring people, once something happens, we can't be implicated, so don't show your face, arrange for Ollie to do it, he just came to the imperial capital, no one will know him." βββ
"Let's go, let's go to the West Street Bar! Felicia and Kelly should be waiting for us!" After the four brothers played two rounds of cards, Alan put down his cards and said to the other three.
Elvis opened his mouth wide, "What? Why is that mother-in-law going to Kelly?Then I won't go, I won't be angry with that mother-in-law!!"
"Whatever you want, let's go eat roast leg of lamb! Just muller, although it is not as good as your home-brewed wine, but it is better than unlimited amounts, you can drink it refreshingly." With that, Eren and Sean walked out.
Elvis's face was blue and purple, and he scolded a few words of indignation, but he couldn't resist the temptation of food and wine to himself, and he opened his legs and chased after him, "Hey, you guys are not righteous, wait for me." β
Located in an alley on the west side of the Knight Academy, the owner of the West Street Bar is said to have been a mercenary who traveled from south to north in the past, and because he liked to drink, he would delve into local specialties wherever he went. After middle age, he began to do business in Boulder City, which is considered an old business, relying on various wine production methods collected on the mainland over the years, business has been good, but the faΓ§ade is not very luxurious, due to the enthusiasm of the boss and the purity of the wine, it is the favorite of many adventurers who do not have high requirements for the environment. Alan and Elvis also often come here for a few drinks, but Elvis likes the roast leg of lamb and mule the most. Although the roast leg of lamb here is a little worse than Allen's roast, and the wine is not as good as Elvis's home-brewed wine, the crowd and lively atmosphere are also an important reason why several young people like it here.
When they came to the West Street Tavern, it was nearly evening, and Felicia and Kelly took off their usual magic robes and changed into princess dresses that they rarely wear, looking very fresh and beautiful, and sitting in the corner of the tavern still attracted a lot of attention.
As a regular customer of the tavern, the owner, David, entertained Alan very warmly. The interior of the bar is relatively simple, with rough concrete walls and no reliefs or murals. But the space is large, with the bar facing the doorway, and ordinary wooden tables and chairs on both sides can accommodate nearly 100 people to drink at the same time, and there is a large area in the middle for customers to dance when the mood is high. Alan: They chose a position on the right side of the bar and sat down.
"Alan and El, you haven't been here for a few days, what are you busy with?" the boss took out a pot of muller and poured a glass for each of them, and asked the waiter to bring a few plates of cooked lentil snacks.
Elvis, of course, was embarrassed to mention the interesting story between him and Brother Leopard, but just casually chatted with the boss about field training.
"Boss!" Alan called the boss aside and said, "Can I go to your back kitchen and bake a few leg of lamb myself?"
"Why? Suddenly I don't look down on our craftsmanship. The boss asked with a smile.
"Where? I want to show my friend a taste. Alan pointed to Felicia, who was joking with Kelly, and signaled that the beautiful girl was his friend.
"Oh..."The boss had a suddenly realized expression, and said with a winkhead at Allen, "Of course, our little magician also has a sweetheart, of course I fully support it, do you want me to add some spices to her wine, Allen?"
"Thank you for your kindness, boss. I'll take care of my own business. After Allen finished speaking, he fled to the back kitchen, he knew too well what ivory could come out of the mouth of this old man who usually told them about pornography. It's a small matter to tell some yellow jokes, but once Felicia hears that he misunderstands his bad intentions towards her, it will be a big matter.
The boss laughed a few times at Allen's back, and turned to greet the other guests.
Elvis and the others were sipping mules and munching lentils while talking about the interesting facts of the past few days. Soon Alan personally came over with a few roast lamb legs, and when Elvis saw it, he unceremoniously took one of them and tore off a piece and threw it in his mouth. Over there, Kelly had already wrung him around the waist and glared at him, saying, "Can't you be civilized?"
"Eat meat and be civilized, you see how civilized people are around?" Elvis said vaguely with his finger in his mouth, with mutton in his mouth.
This bar is not a high-end place, and the customers are all small people in the market, where to pay attention to so many civilizations.
"Leave him alone! Alan cut the leg of lamb into small pieces and pushed a plate of meat to Kelly and Felicia.
"You two try it and see how it compares to yesterday's rabbit meat. β
The two girls each took a piece and put it in their mouths, and then Felicia looked up at Alan looking at him expectantly, and smiled and said, "It's delicious!"
Elvis suddenly "poked" in surprise when he saw an old man at the door of the bar leading a child of six or seven years old in. The old man was tall and thin, dressed in a black robe, his hair was combed very carefully, without a trace of messiness, and the silver white hair was clearly visible in the hair bundles. His weather-beaten face was covered with deep wrinkles, and in the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark blue eyes seemed to tell the vicissitudes of time. But who is the old man who sold the stones to Allen during the day?
Elvis put down the leg of mutton in his hand, patted Allen on the shoulder, and pointed in the direction where the old man was.
Alan also recognized the old man and child during the day at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I really have a relationship with them." β
