Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start Novel - Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Visitors From the Abyss
The morning sun shone upon the land. The humanoid creature that had been spat out by the Abyss Passage in the Great Elven Forest disappeared in a flash after waking up.
Not long after, the fourth elven elder arrived at the location where the passage had appeared. The passage was still sealed. After searching around, she did not find anything else.
However, she could feel that there had been a very strong magic fluctuation in the passage just now. In the end, she could not find the reason for it and headed back to the Elf tribe.
Three hours after the fourth elder left…
From beside the Abyss Passage, a small door opened in the air. A dispirited figure shrouded in black gas walked out cautiously. After surveying the surroundings to make sure that it was safe, it found a direction and quickly left the depths of the Great Elven Forest.
After a night of rest, the black figure looked much better. It retracted the black gas surrounding its body and revealed its true appearance.
It was a pale and delicate face. At first glance, it looked like a woman. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a man. He was tall and slender and did not seem to be a threat. However, if a high-level mage met him, they would definitely be able to tell… how much powerful magic this slender body contained.
There were a pair of sharp horns on the man’s forehead. They were pitch-black, and they shone with a cold light at the tip. His black clothes were tattered, but his hair and the rest of his body were clean and neat.
Facing the sun, he reached into his bag and fished for a while. He took out a black leather book. The leather cover had already been worn at the edges.
Opening the black leather cover, the first page was written with the big words “The Conquest Diary of the Evil Lord, Abraham.” The pale hand picked up the quill pen in the book and opened the book to a blank page at the back.
He lifted up his horrifyingly pale face and allowed the golden and warm sunlight to caress his face. That melancholic expression would definitely be popular in modern times. After thinking for a while, he picked up the pen and wrote:
Abyss Calendar: 1998 ERA, 233 years
Conquest Diary 233333 days. Every time I opened the conquest diary, it was a new day. This was already my third diary. Today was my first day in the human world. As the vanguard sent out by the Demon King, not only did I need to be extremely strong, but I also needed to be smart and cautious. Of course, a handsome face was also necessary (below, omit the 500-word essay that the Demon King praised me for)…
The Abyss had already been planning to conquer the human world for 800 years. In such a long time, I have already understood the temperament of humans. They were timid, cowardly, greedy, and selfish (the Demon King’s 500-word essay is omitted below)…
As the nine great kings of the Abyss and the capable subordinates of the Demon King, I was assigned by the Demon King to come to the human world in advance to collect information and establish a stronghold. When the time was ripe, the Abyss Army would return to the human world and continue that Great War that happened 800 years ago, for the glory of the demon race of the Abyss.
But now, I am the only one who had come to the human world. It would still take some time for the spatial barrier between the two worlds to be completely broken, so I have to be careful and extremely, extremely cautious.
I, the Evil Lord King, would definitely be cautious until I completed the task that the Demon King had given me.
After writing until here, he stopped the pen in his hand and read through his writing. He nodded with satisfaction. A warm smile appeared on his face. He put the quill pen back into place, closed the diary, and put it close to his body.
After slightly sensing the direction of the nearest human town, he set off. The elves in the forest were more difficult to deal with, and he did not want to meet them.
..
There were still three days before the Harvest Festival, and the streets were bustling with people.
Alan’s Tavern received more and more attention, and the number of people who came to drink increased as the days passed. After losing his right-hand man, Yupanki, he also became busy. Fortunately, Uncle Wayne would come later to help him, and ease some of the burdens.
Every day, he was busy with the tavern business and the finishing works for the preparations for the Harvest Festival. Thankfully, Olivia had left early. Otherwise, he would not have time to drink with kids every day.
Orina arrived at the tavern on time every day. After the last time when she went crazy in public, she was deeply stimulated. Recently, she became much more cheerful. She no longer put on the dignified airs of a queen all day long and made many drinking friends.
Only Sofia, who had been utterly humiliated by her drunken behavior that day, had not come to the tavern again.
..
After a whole day of getting lost, hiding, and hunting, the Evil Lord, Abraham, who had rushed over from the Great Elven Forest, finally arrived outside Rock City an hour before Rock City closed its gates.
“This… this…”
When Abraham saw the tall city walls and the heavy gates, he stuttered and could not say a word. His face was full of shock and fear as he stared blankly at Rock City.
“The Demon King clearly said that humans live in tents and there are no cities or city walls. Humans are poor and backward. They are as weak as bugs and can be easily crushed. But what is this?”
“Cities? City walls? Isn’t this a fortress? If all the human cities look like this, how are the demon soldiers going to fight? Are we going to need the Demon Kings to destroy the city walls before fighting?”
While Evil Lord Abraham was cursing crazily in his heart, a well-dressed youth on a tall horse passed by him and said, “Tch, a country bumpkin entering the city looking like he has never seen the world. What a distasteful sight.”
When Abraham heard this, a layer of strange black magic power covered his hand he moved it under his tattered black sleeves.
“You can’t fight, you can’t fight. There are a lot of people here. There might be human experts watching this place. There are more important things to do. Abraham, you have to be careful!”
The Evil Lord Abraham quietly persuaded himself in his heart. His eyes were fixed on the three words “Rock City” on the city gate, and he slowly dispersed the magic power in his hands.
The youth on the horse suddenly shivered, as if he was being targeted by a beast. But he just thought it was an illusion and brushed it off.
The Evil Lord, Abraham, entered the city gate with the other humans, sighing. The closer he got to the city gate, the taller and heavier he realized it was.
If he had attacked with all his might, he would have needed 30% of his magic power to destroy it. In the next moment, he was extremely glad that he had been cautious and had not attacked the impolite youth just now. There must be plenty of human experts in such a big city.
After entering the city gate, he walked along the main street. On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of small shops. Not far away, he could hear the clanging sounds of blacksmiths and the sawing sounds from the carpenters.
The businessmen were boldly hawking their wares. The scene of prosperity and bustle was deeply reflected in the eyes of the Evil Lord, Abraham.
The streets were clean and neat with bluestone floors. It was unlike the muddy streets of the Abyss. On both sides of the streets, there were beautiful lanterns. It was likely that even at night, it would be as bright as day.
The human world, the humans… Compared to what was shared through the derogatory words of the Demon King, this place was even more advanced than the Abyss.
Evil Lord Abraham found himself surrounded by humans no matter where he went. He suddenly felt a little afraid facing this advanced city alone.
He carefully walked on the street as the sun began to set. When he saw the Elf Tavern on the main street, he hesitated and was about to turn around and leave.
Orina was happily walking out of the Elf Tavern’s door to find Alan for a drink.
The Evil Lord, Abraham, felt the immense magic power in the body of the female elf in front of him. It was comparable to his own.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to follow behind her. Abraham was very concerned about where this powerful female elf was going, for her to look so happy.
