Chapter Ninety-Six: The Ale and the Tavern (Part II)

Survival is not too easy in the "land of war" Southwell, although it is not known what the source of the data is, but it is also credible to say that the relentless war has limited the average human life expectancy of Southherwell to less than 40 years old. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

War is the great enemy of survival.

And even without war, humanity has to face all kinds of problems. Sickness, fatigue, disputes over trivial matters, overly boring work, etc., can all breed bad feelings in people's hearts.

How, then, do we get rid of bad feelings, or what can be used as a form of entertainment or pastime to counteract the unpleasant emotions that are not pleasant through the pleasure they generate?

If it is for an ordinary man, then the answer may be very simple:

wine, as well as women.

Wine is even placed in front of the woman.

......

......

......

"Poof. ”

Seeing that Mohr, who had been forced to pour another bottle of ale and finally couldn't hold it anymore, and rolled his eyes and fell over, Valerie chuckled, but picked up another bottle of wine from the table.

"Hiccup! and...... Who?"

The female captain, who seemed to be a little confused and dazed, but still not drunk, staggered around, but found that no one who was "hiding" in the corner, and no one who had not yet lost consciousness dared to look at her, and she couldn't help but feel a little contempt in her heart.

"That's it...... Hiccup, don't come...... Don't come to the bar!" Raise her head again and drink it all, not only the amount of alcohol, but Valerie also drank at a great speed, "Hmm, boss...... Where's the boss, pay the bills!"

The bar owner was so frightened by her appearance that he hid behind the bar and didn't dare to show his head, and even when she mentioned paying, he was still trembling and didn't dare to appear in front of her, as it seemed that he had already left a shadow on her.

Today's situation is actually quite good, there is no one among the female captain's drinking friends who can compare with her, and if there is, such a "daunting" "drinking contest" may last until the evening, if she is really drunk...... Tearing down a bar or two or something like that would be trivial for Valerie.

It's not like she's never done something like this.

Valerie not only loves to drink, but also drinks, and although the unusual amount of alcohol makes it difficult for her to get drunk, it doesn't mean she won't get drunk.

The amount of alcohol she drinks is different from ordinary people, and even her performance after getting drunk will be just as stunning!

To put it simply, she just "goes crazy", but after being drunk, Valerie is like a different person, not only will she act crazy and destructive, but her physical strength and magic will also increase explosively. So, getting drunk and destroying half of the port with a single blow of elemental magic was really nothing to her.

She herself doesn't seem to be aware of this.

"Cut, that's boring, man? I'm still back, hiccups! I didn't drink enough!"

Raising the empty bottle aloft in the air, Valery, who was in a very good mood because of the pouring of Moore, looked around again drunkenly, but her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, and you!" Valery suddenly noticed Troy's presence, and the boy didn't have any expression of fear from the fact that she had drunk so many big men, nor did he avoid her eyes like the other "soft-footed shrimps".

"Back when I first saw you, haha...... I knew you weren't ordinary! Come, let's do it again...... Ahh

Wielding an empty wine bottle, the female captain walked briskly with renewed spirit, but on the way she screamed and fell to the ground.

She stepped on a wine bottle.

"Uh......h Woo...... Whew......"

The next progress made Troy, who had not changed his expression, feel a little puzzled. First, he felt the woman's surroundings diffuse, and he had never felt a similar "magic" before, and secondly, he cried out in pain, which was understandable, but why?

"Why does a fall make people fall asleep?"

After swallowing a sip, he finally drank the ale in the bottle, and after "why are there bubbles in the wine", now, the boy has a new question that he can calm down and think.

"Maybe it's because I'm too tired before, or maybe it's because I can't help but get drunk, who knows? Is the reason important?" Just as Troy was thinking about whether to ask for another bottle of wine to help him continue thinking, a white shadow that was not tall swayed past him, but after casually answering the question that was supposed to be talking to himself, he sat down leisurely opposite the young man.

"Boom. ”

Then, the man who suddenly intervened in the boy's field of vision placed on the table a delicate small wooden barrel "fit into about six bottles of wine," and with a smile on his face, which looked far more immature than Troy's, he felt "ill-willed," and continued:

"Well, why don't you have a drink?"

"Dah. ”

He placed the two goblets he had pinned to his hands on the old, damp wooden table.

"It's possible, and it really doesn't matter. Nodding politely, Troy understood that he should answer the other person's "question" first, even though it wasn't really a question, "The barrel is wine, and the two glasses are ...... You want to invite me to drink?"

Recalling that it had taken Vina a long time to understand the meaning of the word "please" before, the young man scratched his head, but there was still doubt in his eyes.

――It means, "You don't have to spend money"?

In the same way, it took a lot of time and patience for the sorceress to understand the meaning and importance of "money" for the teenager who had been living in a closed village.

"Well, please. A white robe wrapped around a body that was only about 1.5 meters, and the other party was a child who looked younger than Troy. It's just that his smooth words and natural posture make the boy feel more like an "adult": "This is different from the ordinary ale you just drank, try it?"

"Smack. With a casual snap of his fingers, the small barrel, which looked a little blue, floated up without anyone touching it, raising it in just the right arc to fill the two glasses with a liquid that was indistinguishable from "ordinary ale".

It's magic.

The effect is the ability to drag small and light objects without using both hands, and this magic called "telekinesis" always feels very similar to "levitation", but in comparison, there are few people who can master this trick.

Actually, it's quite difficult magic.

"Courtesy...... Hospitality?" This sentence was originally taught by Vina when she was attending the Ikavia dinner in the Flower Moon Capital, and it should be possible to use it here. However, rather than doubting whether it was appropriate to use it here, Troy wanted to know what the "telekinesis" of "telekinesis" meant.

At the same time as some hesitant words were spoken, a goblet filled with a tempting drink trembled and was lifted by an invisible hand, and slowly "flew" in front of the young man.

Speaking of this trick, Troy actually uses it as well.
