[ Ding Dong, Mission 2 has been released. Serve Lafite to 10 customers and receive positive feedback. ]
Alan was intoxicated by the wonderful taste of the magic grapes when the system notification pulled him back to his senses.
He was looking forward to Mission 2 even more after tasting the magic grapes.
After reading the mission requirements, Alan was debating whether he should eat another magic grape when he heard sounds coming from the stairs leading to the second floor bedroom.
He stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at the two elven women who were elegantly walking down the stairs.
It was as if everything that happened last night was a beautiful dream.
These elves were still elegant and noble. They were reserved, proud, and gentle….
Alan felt a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted himself.
He smiled and greeted the dignified elven queen and her loyal subordinate Sofia. “Good morning, beautiful ladies. Did you have a good rest last night?”
Hearing his words, Orina almost couldn’t hold on to her dignified expression. Images of last night after she got drunk and the sexy anecdote from this morning flashed in her mind.
She tried hard to suppress the strange feeling in her heart, but her face was still calm and elegant. Only the red tips of her ears betrayed her embarrassment.
Sophia’s heart was also palpitating. A 500 year old elf in human years would only be equivalent to a 20 year old girl. She had never experienced anything like what happened last night.
To her, who always carried herself as a mature woman, everything that happened last night after she got drunk made her feel ashamed.
“Ahem, thanks to you, I slept quite well. Thank you for taking care of me last night.”
After Orina said that, she lowered her head slightly.
Hearing that, Alan looked away guiltily. He did not notice anything unusual about them. He wondered if the two elves knew that the three of them had slept together last night.
“You’re welcome, as long as you’re well rested…”
“I apologize for my recklessness last night. If the door of the tavern needs repair, I’m willing to pay for it.”
Sophia did not mention anything else. There was no problem with the door. Alan already checked it in the morning, so there was no need for compensation. After he politely refused, he remained silent.
The street outside the door became lively. Even at the end of the remote street, there were still many people coming and going when it was late in the morning.
The two elves came to the bar counter. With their sensitive sense of smell, they could smell the fragrance of the magic grapes even when they were upstairs.
Now that they were in front of them, the tempting fruit fragrance was even more overwhelming.
The two looked curiously at the grapes in Alan’s hand, and Orina asked.
“This grape seems a little different.”
Alan looked down at the grapes in his hand and raised them up to them.
“These grapes are magical grapes. The fruit itself contains magic.”
Sophia and Orena frowned. Their first reaction was that Alan was lying. However, when they thought of his Lafite, they felt that what he said might be true.
“There are not many fruits that contain magic power on the continent, and no one has ever discovered grapes that contain magic power…”
Sophia did not finish her sentence. Alan could roughly guess what she meant.
This time, at least she did not interrogate him as if she was better than him. Count that as an improvement.
He smiled and replied, “This is a breed specially bred for the new Lafite. Of course, it would not appear on the continent.”
Orina did not relax her tightly furrowed brows. After listening to Alan’s explanation, she also had some thoughts about these magic grapes.
Sophia was different. She had been operating her tavern in the human world for many years and had met many drunkards, rough men, and mercenaries. These people might not be good for much, but when it came to information regarding the continent, they knew quite a bit.
According to her past experiences and memories, she was sure that she had never heard of this magical grape, and a doubtful expression appeared on her face.
Alan gently put the magic grape on the bar counter and said, “In a few days, there will be a new kind of Lafite that contains magic power available in the tavern. If you are interested, you are welcome to taste it.”
Seeing his confident expression again, the same expression he had when he was in the Elf Tavern inviting her, Orina’s heart wavered again.
“This grape…” she suddenly said, “can we taste it?”
Sophia was a little confused when she heard her queen’s words, but she thought that the queen must have noticed something, so she did not interrupt. She quietly waited for the queen’s next move.
Alan looked at her and then at Sophia. He thought about what happened last night. He indeed took advantage of the girl, so even if the grape was a little expensive, he could still afford to let them each taste one.
“You may taste it. One each.” He emphasized the last few words.
Orina and Sophia could not help but roll their eyes elegantly when they saw how stingy he was.
The two of them reached out and each plucked a giant grape. Looking at the three gaping holes on the large batch of grapes, Alan felt his heart bleed.
The difference between the magic grapes and ordinary grapes was immediately obvious as soon as the grape skin was torn open when they plucked the grape from the stem. The two elves were very powerful, especially Orina who was already a Tier-Nine Archmage, she was even more perceptive to the fact that faint traces of magic power were floating around the place where the skin was torn open.
She did not have time to be surprised. She stuffed the large grape, which was obviously out of proportion compared to her small mouth, into her mouth.
Aside from the extremely delicious taste, the magic power contained in the fruit was as if a Grand Mage had cast a low-level ice storm in her mouth.
Following that, Orina’s Tier-Nine Archmage power barrier loosened a bit. This was what truly shocked her. One must know, there was only one potion on the continent that could loosen the magic barrier of an Archmage, but that was not something that could be easily obtained.
The effect of a single magic grape quickly wore off.
Orina opened her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her in high spirits. She was secretly regretful.
“Sigh, using all your talent just to brew wine. As long as one has talent, then we would have a better chance of surviving the future war…
“Forget it, seeing that the wine you brewed was so delicious, if you could use this grape of yours to break through to a new level, the elf race will definitely take care of you in the future!”
Alan looked at Orina’s changing expressions and was a little curious. However, he did not expect that a single grape would bring him a group of beautiful bodyguards!
“Alan, can you let me try one more grape? I feel that your grape has the possibility of allowing me to break through to a new level. I want to confirm it again.” Orina asked embarrassingly.
This time, Sophia did not disagree. The shock on her face was still displayed. She nodded her head in agreement when she heard her queen’s words.
What! She already ate one and now wants another one for free?
Alan was stunned. This elven queen was also so shameless.
“No, this is for brewing wine, and do you know how expensive this thing is…” Alan said with a pained expression.
