Chapter 67: The Loli!
Chapter 67: The Loli!
It was poured with rain in Rock City the whole night.
When the sun rose, the water on the ground evaporated. The whole city shrouded in a layer of thick mist. The rain had cleansed the entire city, and the air was fresh.
Alan woke up early as usual. The lights in the smithy had lit up for the whole night. When Abraham woke up, Wayne had already heated the boiler. It looked like he was about to start forging.
Bart lived on the other side of the city. This courtyard was the dwarven stronghold in Rock City. There were all kinds of tools here. He could forge whatever he wanted to.
After studying the blueprints for the whole night, Bart felt like he had caught a hint of inspiration. When the sky had just lit up, he immediately began to try to make it.
After Alan finished cleaning up the tavern, Blackie was still sunbathing in the backyard. That lazy and leisurely look made Alan envious.
Because it had rained all night yesterday, it was very lively when the tavern opened for business today.
Alan once again resumed his busy life until evening. Most of the customers left, and Alan could take a break for a while.
Wayne and Abraham entered the tavern at the very last sunray.
"Little Alan, Bart didn't come today?"
Wayne looked around the tavern and didn't see Bart the dwarf, so he asked curiously.
"No, I didn't see him come all day."
"Abraham, how's your debt coming along?"
Wayne had always paid for Abraham's drinks. Although Alan had repeatedly said that they didn't need to pay, Wayne still insisted on paying.
In Alan's eyes, Abraham did not look like a demon king at all. He was shy, he was respectful, independent, and extremely cultured. He paid his debts with his work and returned the money he owed by working in a blacksmith's shop.
"Hmph, I will be able to pay it off soon. Mind your own business."
Abraham's face was slightly red under the hood.
As one of the seven great kings of the abyss, he had fallen to the point where he had to work to pay his debts. This matter was the shame of his life.
The abyss was poor, to begin with, and Abraham was the gentlest one of the demon kings. He did not have many ways to earn money thus he did not have much savings. The reason he came to the human world this time was that he had long been penniless from drinking.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mock you. Let's drink Lafite today. You better not to drink the strong ones."
Alan apologized, but his hands skillfully decant and poured the liquor.
"Sigh, Little Alan, actually I've already recovered. There's no need to drink more of it. Besides, I can drink the strong ones with no problem at all." Wayne grumbled softly. He only whined to Alan and nobody else.
Alan smiled and shook his head. He did not say much. After all, Wayne was just whining.
The three men were chatting happily, and the atmosphere was just right. Blackie quietly sat at the side of the bar. Alan put her special wine glass in front of her, which was filled with high-level magic Lafite.
Outside the tavern, the sky was turning dark.
Meanwhile, he little princess of the abyss had arrived in the human world in the morning. She brought her companions and found the location of Rock City by following the scent of Evil Lord.
She saw the tall city walls in front of her, the civilians coming and going, the merchants pulling all kinds of goods, and the noble lords sitting in luxurious carriages.
The bustling city in front of her deeply shocked her. Even the Cerberus was scared out of its wits and cowered beside its master.
After a short while, she finally mustered up the courage to follow the people into the city. The soldiers guarding the city saw that she was a little girl with a dog. They thought that she had gotten separated from her family, so they asked her about it.
However, the girl thought that her identity had been exposed, so she timidly looked up at the soldier who spoke. She took the dog and ran away without saying a word.
The two soldiers looked at each other and wondered if they had scared her.
No, their armor must be too scary. They must find an opportunity to suggest to the governor that they change the armor of the city guards to a gentler style.
The two looked at each other and nodded, confirming each other's thoughts.
After escaping into the city, she hid everywhere with the dog and passed the busy day with difficulty.
At dusk, the number of people on the street gradually decreased. The girl finally followed Evil Lord's aura to the tavern. She watched as Evil Lord and another human walked in side by side. After waiting for a long time, she did not see him come out.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, the girl decided to go in and take a look.
She carefully hid her entire body outside the door of the small tavern and poked out a furry little head to look inside the shop. The little white dog imitated its master's movements.
Abraham, who was leisurely enjoying the fine wine, suddenly felt a chill on his back. Blackie seemed to have also smelled the scent of his nemesis.
Abraham never expected that the helper this time would be her.
"Abraham! Blackie!"
A delicate shout sounded under the bar counter, and Abraham and Blackie were frightened.
They stiffly turned to look behind them. The girl and the white dog, it was the infamous devil combination abyss.
"Abraham, you've been in the human world for so long, and you haven't sent any useful news back. You still have the mood to drink here! Are you worthy of what father has done for you!?"
The girl cursed loudly.
Alan and Wayne were stunned on the spot. Were the children of the abyss all so fierce?
Abraham and Blackie were scolded so badly that they couldn't raise their heads. They just lowered their heads even lower. The girl didn't wait for them to defend themselves and continued to curse.
"Blackie, you're the one who asked for help, but you're completely out of reach after you came here. Turn out you've been hanging out with Abraham in this place all day. Do you still remember what your mission is!?"
"Humans are all cunning. Our compatriots are still waiting for you to bring back the news, but you're just doing nothing!"
...
Alan did not know how long the girl had been scolding him like this, but he knew that this girl was also a guest from the abyss, but her status was higher than Abraham's.
After she reprimanded him, she felt a little thirsty. She consciously picked up the cup in front of Abraham and drank the entire cup of Lafite in one gulp.
"Hey..." Alan didn't have time to dissuade her. Even if it was just wine, it was still wine. This child was not an adult yet, so how could she drink wine!
"Burp..."
She placed the cup heavily on the bar counter and burped at the three men.
"Eh!" the girl suddenly realized that her magic power had recovered a little.
"Abraham, another cup!" She said excitedly to Abraham.
"You can't drink alcohol, you're underage." Alan finally stopped him.
"Human, who do you think you are!"
She said disdainfully, her little hand reaching for the bottle beside her and pouring it into her mouth.
Abraham and Blackie didn't dare to breathe and just stared blankly.
Wayne frowned and didn't move. He hadn't figured out the identity and purpose of this child yet.
Seeing that the girl was about to finish half of the bottle of wine, Alan snatched the bottle from her hand. However, he was a little late, and there was still a bottom of the bottle...
"I'm completely recovered! Abraham, follow me..." the girl's eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist, and her focus gradually blurred.
Abraham looked at his princess in surprise, but he still did not dare to move. On the bar counter, Blackie looked down at the little white dog fiercely, and the two of them growled at each other telepathically.
In the morning, the girl had passed through the spatial barrier, and her magic power had been reduced by half. With the recovery of her magic power from drinking the Lafti, she immediately got up and was about to launch an attack.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that she was locked down by a very powerful magic power. She felt danger, and she didn't dare to act recklessly.
Alan stretched out his hand and flicked the girl's forehead. Alan looked at her eyes. The girl's eyes were wet, and she was about to cry
"Don't cry. Speak properly, or I'll slap your forehead," Alan threatened.
The girl instantly covered her forehead with her hands and bit her lips. The tears in her eyes didn't fall.
"Tell me your name and how old you are. How did you come to the tavern?" Alan asked seriously.
"Lolita, 212 years old this year. I'm the youngest daughter of the demon king of the abyss. I walked through a dark passage, and then I'm here in the human world, just like that."
Alan was shocked. He glanced at Abraham and sighed in his heart. The demons of the abyss were too difficult to raise. Their growth cycle was too long.
"Then why are you here?" Alan continued to ask.
"To help my father conquer the human world! I'm warning you, if you do something to me, my father will definitely kill you! My father is super strong!"
The bar was silent for a while, and then the customers burst into laughter, treating it as a joke of a child.
Only Alan knew that the child was telling the truth.
