Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After his discussion with Bart, Alan reopened the tavern.
There were a few customers standing outside the door, waiting for Alan to open for business.
Bart wrapped up the failed generator again and sat at the table in deep thought. What Alan had just told him inspired him greatly.
His original theory was proven to be invalid. Just now, Alan had helped him complete the original logic. As long as he could perfect the two principles, he believed that the next generator would definitely work.
After Alan reopened, the tavern became busy again, yet Xiao Hei’s gaze stayed on Alan.
Lolita, on the other hand, did not understand any of the academic content that Alan and the dwarves had discussed just now. She sat on the bar counter with a calm expression, swaying her two small legs, staring blankly at the customers in the tavern.
Wayne and Abraham arrived right after Alan reopened the tavern. They bumped into Bart as was leaving the bar.
They called him twice but went completely unnoticed by Bart, as they watched left in a hurry with a big thingy in his arm.
“Little Alan, did Bart finish crafting that thing?”
Wayne asked as soon as he took a seat.
“Yes, Bart finished it, but it failed. he is probably rushing back to do more research. Next time, he might succeed.”
Alan replied with a smile. He was also very surprised that he could give Bart some new ideas.
Wayne was not surprised. He had a good guess when he saw Bart, but now it was only confirmed by Alan.
During Lolita’s stay at the tavern, Alan asked her to work as a waitress to pay for the rent and food.
She refused at first, but as she woke up the next day, she found out that Alan did not prepare any food for her. After being starved for a whole day, she finally dawdled into her career as a waitress.
Even her white little dog did not escape from being “exploited” by Alan. Alan asked him to provide relief services to the customers in the tavern. Any customer who liked dogs could pet him to relieve the pressure.
Wayne knew quite well that Bart had already built the generator. Although Bart failed this time, seeing his opponent had completed the task ahead of him indeed made him feel pressured.
Wayne went back to the blacksmith shop early, as he was in no mood drinking that night.
The daily life in the tavern was always dull and boring. The repetitive rhythm of life had not changed.
At the blacksmith shop.
After Wayne finished drinking, he came back to the shop and continued to fiddle with his new toys.
Abraham felt that Wayne seemed to have made some improvements based on the blueprint. He had seen Wayne reforge and rebuild the things that he had finished several times.
After returning to his room, Abraham received a message from the Demon King. It had been long since the last time Demon King had contacted him.
A gray mist appeared out of thin air. After a while, a man wearing a cotton triangular nightcap with a dense mist on his face appeared.
This time, the soft nightcap seemed to stand up a little, just like its owner’s aura now. Abraham could feel Demon King’s anger even without being physically in front of him.
Cold sweat drenched the clothes on his back, he lowered his head.
“Abraham, where’s Lolita!?”
Demon King’s voice was filled with killing intent.
“S-sir… Her Highness is with Xiao Hei, they’re both in that tavern.”
Abraham replied in fear. He was somewhat confused about Demon King’s anger this time. Wasn’t the princess was sent by Demon King himself? Why would Demon King angry when he mention his daughter?
“You didn’t personally protect her!? You just let her stay alone with that human elite!? How can you guarantee her safety!?”
When Demon King heard that his youngest daughter was alone with the human elite, he couldn’t help but worry about her safety. He became even more displeased with Evil Lord.
“Sir, please rest assured. Princess is very safe there. And I will definitely protect her highness.”
Abraham agreed repeatedly. However, what he did not know was the incomparably terrifying expression on Demon King’s face. If Demon King was here, he would have beaten him to death.
As his precious daughter’s safety had been neglected, Abraham’s death looked certainly well deserved to Demon King.
“Starting tomorrow, you will be at Lolita’s side all the time. If any mishaps happen to her, you know what I am capable of…”
Demon King’s death threat shook Abraham to his core.
After the communication ended, Abraham was terrified.
The moment Demon King disappeared, he fell to the ground.
As he calmed down a little, he took out his diary while trembling.
Hailar Calendar: the 30th day of the invasion of the human world
Today was the day that I almost died. Demon King’s strength was getting stronger and stronger.
One could feel the pressure emanating from his body even from afar.
The demon king was very angry. The speed at which the human world’s occupation plan was implemented made Demon King grow out of his patience.
However, the humans were actually very good. They didn’t have any animosity towards the abyss. They were tolerant, kind, and knowledgeable…
I, the leader of the Seven Lords of the Abyss, the Evil Lord, had lived alone for thousands of years until now. This was the first time I made friends, human friends. I knew that they had long guessed the fact that I came from the abyss, but they didn’t look at me differently.
They helped me in my daily life and showed me a lot of warmth…
Recently, I often wondered, what I should do if the day came when the Demon King led the army to invade the human world?
After writing and checking, Abraham did not smile. He just silently closed the diary and held it close to his body.
He looked at the front yard through the small crack in the window. Wayne was still tinkering. He smiled and muttered, “Before the moment of choice comes, we will be fine.”
After living in the tavern for the time being, Lolita slowly getting used to the life in the tavern gradually. Even it was dull and boring every day
But many people yearned for this kind of simple life, and Lolita actually started to enjoy it as well.
Her feelings for Alan were complicated. He clearly did not have any magic power, but when he put on a serious face, Lolita would feel afraid.
Alan was stricter with her than her brothers, but under this kind of discipline, she felt the joy and warmth of family that she had never experienced before.
Days passed by quickly. The ordinary daily life became interesting thanks to Lolita. The daily life of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai was also extraordinary.
With these little fellows in the tavern, Alan’s life became quite fulfilling and lively.
Another week had passed since Bart came to find Alan with the generator.
Bart came to the tavern with the modified generator again.
“My good friend, this time, I have a feeling that it will be a success!”
Bart’s face was full of anxiety, and his tone was filled with anticipation.
Alan nodded and urged him to quickly test it. The public release of the generator also represented the beginning of the industrial era of the Hailar Continent.
The modified generator buzzed as Bart pressed the switch. The two of them stared at the indicator light that represented success.
Under the nervous gaze of the two of them, the indicator light lit up!
Alan and Bart looked at each other, smiled with a big high-five
“We did it, Alan! The generator works!”
Bart burst into tears with excitement. He grabbed Alan’s hands, exclaimed loudly.
Alan was also very excited.. He could finally use electricity!
