Chapter 1: A Small Tavern That No One Was Interested In
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the Hailar continent, at the junction of the Forest of Elves and the Kellogg Empire, at an unknown tavern in Rock City.
Sitting in the lobby of this ordinary tavern was a handsome and skinny young man with a hint of worry on his face.
On the main street in Rock City, there was another tavern with the sign “Elf Tavern” hanging on the door beam.
Upon entering, one would feel as if they were in the elven forest. Dense wood magic filled the entire space.
Such a tavern with elven characteristics was doing very well in this remote border town.
Every kind of wine here was unique to the elven race, and the taste was fascinating.
At a table near the stairs going up to the second floor, Alan sat alone and observed what was happening around him.
.
He was shaking the wine glass in his hand, taking a sip from time to time as he silently evaluated.
Elven fruit wine was indeed not bad if one was drinking it as a beverage.
At this time, there was a table of strong men sitting in the middle of the hall across from him, boldly drinking wine.
“You all haven’t seen my team’s magnificent feat of slaying a dragon. Super impressive!”
Wayne reeked of alcohol from head to toe. His face was flushed red as he bragged about his past glory.
His words immediately attracted his mates to ridicule him.
“Hahahaha.”
“If you ask me, slaying a dragon or not is all bullshit…”
“Those happened so long ago. To be honest, if you can go into the forest and bring back a blazing tiger, I’ll believe you. Hiccup!”
The middle-aged man who spoke was already a little tongue-tied.
“Stop talking about dragon slaying.”
“Alright, you…hiccup…you don’t believe me, right? Tomorrow morning, I’ll go into the forest and look for a blazing tiger.”
The man named Wayne had an indignant look on his face as he retorted with a hint of unwillingness.
“Forget it, when have you not said that? Anyway, tomorrow you’ll say that you drank too much, hahaha.”
“That’s right, that’s right, hahaha… come and have a drink.”
The others also burst into laughter when they heard that. With a “clank”, they clanked their cups together and everyone drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.
This table of old drunkards were all managers of various businesses in Rock City. They would often wait until they were drunk before leaving.
The man who always bragged about slaying dragons every time he drank was named Wayne, he was once a mercenary. He retired ten years ago after he was seriously injured. After that, he worked as a blacksmith in the city.
The others were also middle-aged men who ran shops or different businesses in Rock city.
Alan had been observing the people in the tavern for a month. During this month, he learned a lot about this world through the customers.
Compared to his previous life, this world was much more dangerous.
Hailar was a continent where many races coexisted.
Not just elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, and other races lived together with humans, there were also angels who reside in the Holy Land in the sky and demons who live underground.
A month ago, Alan was still a good-for-nothing young man under the influence of communism. But in the blink of an eye, fate made a little joke and threw him into this dangerous and backward world.
After transmigrating to this world, he inexplicably inherited a dilapidated tavern and then activated a tavern system.
He transmigrated into a 16-year-old boy who had lost his parents. This was a miserable way to start this life.
Fortunately, the system still had some conscience. Not only did the welcome gift pack directly give him the recipe for Lafite wine, but the tavern’s wine cellar also gained a booster to speed up the brewing process by 100 times.
Lafite wine.
In his previous life, this red wine was widely popular.
Its taste was gentle and delicate, like an introverted girl.
Lafite’s fragrance of flowers and fruits was particularly prominent, and it was mellow and supple. Therefore, many wine lovers called Lafite the “Queen” of the wine kingdom.
All kinds of praises and admirations were given to the Lafite wine.
Of course, it was also well deserved.
Considering that he obtained the way to brew this divine wine as soon as he started this new life, Alan felt that there was still hope for the following days.
But until today, a whole month had passed. After Allen renovated the tavern, the wine was also ready.
It even took a month to do the market survey before opening the tavern and the promotion for his tavern.
However, on the first day of opening the tavern, from morning till night, there were no customers.
Rock City was located in a remote area. It lacked resources and its development was very slow.
There were not many people coming and going. This decently sized city only had a population of 30,000.
When it came to entertainment, it was definitely not enough to have only one elven tavern for people to enjoy.
Then why did not a single person come to the opening of his tavern?
Alan knew one reason was that his tavern was not famous, but the most important reason was his age.
For a tavern that belonged to a sixteen-year-old boy, no one believed that Alan could brew a wine that was better tasting than the wine served in the elven tavern.
Alan couldn’t wait for customers, so he took the initiative and went to the elven tavern. He wanted to see if he could fool a few drunkards who were drunk enough to go to his tavern once.
After all, using the 100 times acceleration booster, even though his Lafite wine had only been brewing for a month, the age of the wine was eight years.
He was confident that he could make everyone who drank it fall in love with this wine.
Just as Alan was silently observing the customers in the elven tavern, he suddenly felt a faint fragrance drifting beside him.
Turning his head, he saw an extremely beautiful mature woman sitting on the opposite seat.
She had long pointy ears, dark green hair like the goddess of nature, and dark blue eyes,
She wore a tight jade-green dress that accentuated her seductive figure. There was a hint of snow-white flesh peering out of her collar, which made him feel dizzy.
She was a dignified, proper, and generous female elf from every aspect, but for some reason, Alan felt that this female elf in front of him exuded temptation.
With just one glance, a thousand thoughts already ran through his head, but his expression did not show it at all.
Alan looked at her silently, waiting for her to speak first.
“You have a very unique fragrance on your body. Can you tell me what that smell is?”
The female elf gently placed her wine glass on the table, her movements elegant and graceful.
The moment she spoke, the faint nature fragrance surrounding her became even stronger.
Alan’s young and handsome face was slightly stunned. He subconsciously raised his arm and sniffed his own body.
A faint flower and fruit fragrance mixed with oak and other plant fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.
Considering that he had been in and out of the wine cellar frequently in the past month, it was most likely that he caught the Lafite scent on his body.
He thought for a moment and answered with a straight face, “It’s the smell of wine.”
The female elf’s face froze. She didn’t expect to get such an answer.
In the Forest of Elves, she had never smelled a wine with a similar scent.
Of the top three wines in this continent, one was the elf wine, which could nourish the body and slightly heal injuries. It was a wine with a wide range of healing effects.
One other was the orc wine. It was said to be an extremely strong wine. With just a small sip, it could awaken the internal beast inside the orc by 20%. The range of applications was only limited to the orc race.
The other was the holy water from the angel race. Rather than calling it wine, it was more like tea for the angels. The alcohol content in it was extremely low and the taste was so light that if one did not carefully taste it, they would think that they were drinking water. Its only use was a slight restraining effect on powerful energy.
However, this ordinary human youth in front of her, other than being slightly better looking than the others, did not seem to have the slightest fluctuation of power within his body. Yet, a faint and extremely alluring fragrance lingered around his body.
But the youth said that this was the fragrance of wine, a new type of wine!
When she thought of this, immediately, her interest was piqued.
The female elf’s eyes lit up slightly as she looked at the youth in puzzlement. Her original intention was to confirm if what he said was true, yet in the youth’s eyes, her glance was extremely flirtatious…
Chapter 2: The Little Boy Who Sells Wine

Alan looked at the female elf in front of him. Her every move exuded temptation. She was simply too stunning.
“The scent of wine?”
The female elf’s full lips opened slightly, emitting a clear sound that was like a stream flowing in the morning.
“The scent of wine.”
Alan nodded and repeated it once more.
The female elf’s eyes lit up and looked at Alan with interest.
Alan looked at the female elf’s expression and continued, “This is a new type of wine that I brew myself.”
.
He paused and smiled.
“My beautiful and elegant elf lady, may I have the honor to invite you to my tavern for a drink?”
As Alan spoke, he put a hand in front of the elven lady and made a very gentlemanly and elegant inviting gesture to her.
The elven lady had a smile on her lips and her shapely eyebrows were flirtatious. She looked at the interesting little guy in front of her and stretched out her hand, she was about to accept Alan’s invitation.
However, at this moment, the old drunkard, who was only one aisle away from them, heard everything Alan said.
The blacksmith named Wayne was obviously drunk, so he couldn’t help but interrupt.
“A kid who hasn’t even grown out all of his hair is spouting nonsense. He brewed his own wine? He’s still dreaming don’t you think? Hahaha…”
The people at the same table all slapped their hands on the table and laughed, agreeing with Wayne’s teasing.
“Hahaha… That’s right, how good can the wine be if it was brewed by a kid.”
The young man’s expression did not change even after being ridiculed. He replied calmly.
“If you don’t believe me, you can come to my tavern and try it. If it doesn’t taste good, I won’t charge you.”
Alan shrugged and retorted confidently.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, the drunkards who were originally laughing loudly laughed even louder.
“If your wine doesn’t taste good, you still dare to charge us? Aren’t you afraid that we’ll destroy the shop? Hahaha ~”
“I say, it’s not whether the wine tastes good or not, but rather if you, little brat, actually brewed any wine within a month?”
“Could it be that the wine hasn’t even been brewed yet and the tavern only serves water to the customers … hahaha!”
The more these drunkards talked, the more they felt that their guesses were correct. No one could believe that a 16 year old boy could brew any good wine within a month.
No matter how they ridiculed him, he listened calmly. There was not a hint of anger on his face.
The female elf was sitting silently at the side the whole time. She did not speak. When she heard the conversation between the boy and these drunkards, she became even more curious. What kind of wine could make him so confident?
Alan took in the expressions of everyone around him. The drunkards’ doubts and the female elf’s wavering decision.
He saw that the female elf was already tempted, so he had to strike while the iron was hot.
“My beautiful lady, you must know that my new wine can also improve one’s appearance.”
When the female elf heard that this wine that she had never drunk before could also improve one’s appearance, she was even more interested.
“If you can continue drinking it for a long time, not only will it make your skin whiter, it will slow down aging, promote blood circulation, and dispel the cold from your body. Of course, for elves who have a long life, aging is not a problem.”
Alan ignored the drunkards who were making fun of him and spoke to the female elf.
But after Alan said that, the drunkard named Wayne could not help but make fun of him again.
“Did you hear that? This kid said that his wine can not only improve one’s appearance but also dispel the cold from the body. He said it as if he really did brew a new wine. Hey, elven lady over there, better not believe him so easily. How is that possible?”
“Wayne, you’re too bad. If you say that, you’ll completely ruin the child’s business!”
The drunkards roared with laughter.
Although Alan wanted to retort, he knew that the most powerful retort in the face of doubt was to speak with facts.
So he stood up and extended his hand again, inviting the female elf across from him in a gentlemanly and elegant manner.
“Madam, no matter how much you think, it’s better to try it out yourself. My tavern is at the end of the street not far from here.”
Looking at the young boy in front of her who was acting like an adult, the female elf was initially only interested in the new wine he was talking about. Now, it seemed that this boy was the most interesting one.
In the tavern with mixed smells, the faint fragrance surrounding the boy was constantly attracting her attention.
One had to know that this beautiful female elf in front of him was not an ordinary elf woman.
She was the queen of the elven race.
The elven race’s talent for distinguishing scent was far higher than other races. In this aspect, a queen was even more talented than others.
According to elven age, this queen, who was only 200 years old, was still very young, but her strength was not to be underestimated.
She lived in the Forest of Elves year round. Other than handling the affairs of her race, she rarely interacted with outsiders.
This time, she was finally freed from the heavy duties and was able to relax in Sofia’s tavern.
She did not expect to meet this interesting young man. His body carried a faint scent that she was infatuated with.
Before leaving the Forest of Elves, the elders had repeatedly reminded her to be careful of human males. This was because they liked to say nice things, but you never know what bad intentions they have in their hearts.
As for the intelligent and sensitive elven race, sensing human emotions was also one of their talents.
Looking at the boy’s sincere smile, the elven queen finally chose to smile and nod in agreement to his invitation, handing him her hand.
“It’s my honor to be able to invite you to my tavern, my beautiful elven lady.”
After receiving her affirmative reply, Allen smiled slightly and held the elven lady’s hand as he stood up, the two of them leaving the elven tavern side by side.
Wayne looked at the two of them leaving one after the other and was stunned.
“Do all women nowadays have such bad taste? Why would they like such a delicate and weak young man?” He muttered in a low voice.
“Wayne, no wonder you’ve been single for so many years and still haven’t found a woman, Hahaha…”
“That’s right, the young man is good-looking and your big and burly appearance can’t compare to him.”
The blacksmith, who was ridiculed by his companion, looked indignant. “Hmph, there were many women who pursued me back then. I was strong and valiant then, but unfortunately, I only wanted to go on adventures…”
“Look at what this old widower is saying. He didn’t drink too much tonight, so how did he get so drunk? Hahaha…”
Everyone treated Wayne’s words as a joke and laughed.
That shabby tavern at the end of the street was closed for more than half a year and just recently reopened, how could it possibly have any good wine!
The female elf was invited to taste the new wine, but could it really be that simple?
Whether the blacksmith wanted to believe it or not, the beautiful female elf indeed left with the handsome young man.
Wayne sighed in his heart. Despite his tough words, he still felt a little jealous.
At that moment, Sophia, the owner of the elven tavern, came down from the second floor.
She stood on the stairs and looked around the entire tavern, only to find that her queen had disappeared.
After going downstairs and asking around, she found out that the queen was taken to the small tavern at the end of the street by a young man.
Chapter 3: Good Wine Needs Time to Taste
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ignoring the reactions of the people in the elven tavern, Alan brought the female elf back to his tavern at the end of the street.
“This is my tavern.”
Alan made a welcoming gesture to the elven queen who was standing outside the door.
The elven queen stood outside the door, sizing up the seemingly simple yet charming tavern.
Occasionally, a faint wine fragrance wafted out from inside, similar to the smell on the boy’s body.
She looked at the confident boy, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile, and she stepped into the tavern,
As soon as she entered, she saw clean and tidy tables, chairs, and the floor. Behind the bar counter, there was a neat little display case to display the wine bottles.
The case was still very empty, with only a few wine bottles placed in the middle.. The elven queen looked around the tavern curiously.
Alan led her to sit down in front of the bar counter while he turned around and went inside.
He took a bottle of wine from the small compartment and took out a transparent wine glass and a pot-bellied thin-necked container from the drawer. These two things were completely different from the common wine instruments used on the continent.
The elven queen looked at the two instruments Alan took out with surprise and curiosity.
Alan raised his head slightly and saw the elven queen’s expression. He could guess the reason for her curiosity.
Without waiting for her to ask, Alan started to prepare the drink while explaining to his first customer with a smile.
“This cup is called a goblet. It’s used specifically to drink this new wine.” Allen raised the cup in his hand and showed it to the elven queen.
The elven queen took the cup and studied it carefully. The closer she looked, the more shocked she was. She could actually see her own face on the transparent cup!
“Is this cup made of crystal? Why is this crystal so transparent?”
The female elf’s shock was within Alan’s expectations. His hands did not stop moving as he replied calmly.
“This is a material called glass, not the crystal you mentioned.” Alan continued to explain, “Glass is a material made from sand.”
“Sand!?” The female elf was shocked. Such a beautiful instrument was made from sand that could be found everywhere?
Crystals were rare on the continent, and using crystal cups was always a privilege reserved for the nobles. It was rare for the poor to see them. Even the shapes of the cups were simple. Not only did this glass looked higher quality than crystals, but the shape of the cup was also more unique.
It was unbelievable that in this unremarkable tavern in a border town, one could use a cup more advanced than a crystal cup to drink.
Seeing the surprise look on the female elf’s face, Alan continued, “Look at the slender foot on the bottom of the goblet. It is so that it’s more convenient for the drinker to pick up the goblet and to prevent your hands from touching the cup. Once the temperature on your hands is passed on to the liquor, the increased temperature can affect the aroma and taste of the liquor.”
“There are so many requirements to drink this wine?” The elven queen asked curiously.
“Of course. Good things always require a little patience to taste.”
As he spoke, Alan opened the cork on the bottle with a small knife.
With a pop, the bottle was opened. A rich fruity and wine aroma mixed with a faint plant aroma assailed her nostrils.
At that moment, the elven queen finally believed everything Alan said.
This was a brand new type of wine, and it was also an excellent wine.
Alan tilted the bottle and slowly poured the wine into the strange pot-belly thin-necked instrument that looked like a swan.
“This instrument is called a wine decanter. Its only function is to let you directly appreciate the beauty of the wine you are about to drink,” Alan said with a chuckle.
Staring at Alan’s hand movement, the elven queen’s nostrils rapidly fluttered. Her upper body leaned against the bar counter, leaning closer to the wine decanter. She was intoxicated by the fragrance of the wine that emanated from the pot.
As the female elf leaned forward, the magnificent scene in front of her chest almost made Alan’s hand, which was steadily pouring the wine, tremble.
The female elf was already intoxicated by the rich fragrance of the wine. She was completely unaware of how seductive her current posture was…
“Cough — the original intention of the wine decanter was to leave the sediment in the wine at the bottom of the bottle. The reason why it has such a large pot-belly is so that it’s easier to observe the color of the wine and see whether there were impurities.” In order not to let trivial matters interfere with his great cause of selling his wine, Alan coughed lightly and shifted his attention back to the pouring action in his hand.
“Pour the wine into the wine decanter steadily and slowly. Wait for a bit and the aroma of the wine will become stronger. Then, it will be the best time to drink it.” Alan did not dare shift his sights off the wine pot in his hand anymore.
He could not help but complain in his heart, this woman was not an elf, she was a temptress.
“Hmmm, what is this wine called? It is so fragrant.” The female elf looked intoxicated. She narrowed her big blue eyes and asked softly. The charm that she unconsciously revealed made Alan, who had just calmed down a little, palpitate again.
Alan came back to his senses and said, “Ahem… I named this wine ‘Lafite’. Since this is a brand new wine that has never appeared on the continent. I created a new category called ‘red wine’ to categorize this wine.”
The female elf’s gaze shifted from the wine decanter to the young man’s face. “Your description is quite appropriate. It’s as bright as a top-grade ruby. It’s very suitable to be called red wine.”
After Alan poured a whole bottle of Lafite into the wine decanter, he looked at the goblet at the side and said with a mischievous smile, “Do you want to guess why the shape of this goblet is so different from the others?”
The female elf was stunned when she heard that. So it was not just because it looked good in this shape.
She tilted her head slightly and unconsciously rubbed the beautiful goblet in front of her. She asked, “Just tell me. Why?”
Seeing that she did not want to guess, Alan stopped teasing her and explained, “Generally speaking, drinking red wine is divided into three stages. Before, during, and after, each stage has a different step.”
“Before drinking, you need to control the temperature of the wine to an ideal state suitable for drinking. Then, you need to let the wine breathe, which is like this.” Aaron picked up the wine decanter and shook it gently. The ruby-like wine gently swirled in the bottle.
“Next is to observe the color of the wine.” He handed the wine decanter slightly towards her so that the female elf could see the beautiful ruby color of the wine more clearly. It was clear and bright.
“The last step is choosing the wine cup. The reason why the cup is slightly round and large is to increase the surface area so that the wine can come into contact with more oxygen and develop a richer fragrance. The mouth of the cup is slightly contracted so that the fragrance can be gathered at the mouth of the cup so that it is convenient to smell the fragrance before drinking.”
As he explained, Alan slowly poured the wine from the wine decanter into the cup and extended his hand to indicate that the female elf could taste it.
The female elf elegantly picked up the slender leg on the cup.
She slowly brought the cup to the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently. After enjoying the wine’s fragrance at a closer distance, the female elf impatiently took a sip of the wine.
As the wine entered her mouth, the expression on the female elf’s face changed from shock to intoxication.
The fragrance in her mouth was complex, deep, and had a long aftertaste.
There was the mixed fragrance of flowers and fruits, the taste of ores, and the initial taste of oak was very prominent.
The taste was as fine and smooth as velvet, the structure was complete, the flavor was rich, and the taste was elegant and long.
Compared to the elven fruit wine, the fragrance of this wine was better mixed with the fruit and was richer.
The fragrance of the wine could linger in your mouth for more than three minutes, which was the characteristic of good wine.
This was real good wine! The female elf could not help but think as she drank.
She was completely hooked on Lafite!
Alan quietly looked at the female elf across from him, completely immersed in the fragrance of the Lafite wine. She was drinking by herself, enjoying the pleasure brought on by good wine.
Sophia waited for a long time in her tavern, but the queen still never returned. She started to get suspicious.
She might as well go look for her queen. She still vaguely remembered the tavern at the end of the street.
When she came to the door of the tavern, the door was closed, and she could vaguely hear sounds coming from inside.
It sounded like a drunk woman acting coquettishly. The sound was slightly familiar. Sophia suddenly had a bad feeling…
She reached out and pushed open the tavern door.
“Bang!” The door bounced back slightly after she pushed it open with too much force.
Sophia couldn’t care about anything else at the moment. The scene in front of her shocked her.
Chapter 4: The Drunk Elven Queen
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sophia stood at the entrance of the tavern in shock.
She looked at her queen hanging on the body of a young boy like a koala bear.
She kept rubbing her face against his cheek, mumbling coquettishly.
Alan was also speechless. He thought that this lady had a decent tolerance for alcohol, but who knew that her alcohol limit was only half a pot of red wine. Not only was she drunk, but she also acts out when she’s drunk.
Although she was warm and soft in his arms, was as beautiful as a fairy, and any man would enjoy being held on by such beauty, for a thin and weak young man like him, he could not bear the weight of 100 pounds handing off of him over a long period…
Alan tried for a while to struggle free, but not only did he not pull the female elf off his body, she held on to him even tighter..
The female elf kept saying, “I don’t want to be the elven queen anymore. How can a queen be as happy as an ordinary person?”
Alan was stunned when he heard that. This lady was the elven queen!
He thought that the first guest he brought back was an ordinary elven girl, but in the end, this drunken woman was actually the elven queen!?
Suddenly, Alan felt a headache coming on. He wouldn’t be silenced, would he? Not only did he kidnap the queen from her territory, he even got her drunk…
Thinking of the consequences, he couldn’t help but shudder. It was as if the temperature in the tavern suddenly dropped.
He heard that the elves were all peace-loving, gentle, and kind girls. They would probably be willing to listen to his explanation and not have a bad temper like the blazing tiger…
“Your Majesty… can you get off me first?” Alan asked tentatively.
“What? You want me to eat you?”The queen raised her head from Alan’s shoulder and cupped his face with both hands, looking all over his face. “No, elves don’t eat humans…”
Alan could not help but wail in his heart. Too Close! ! Too Close! Too Close! ! ! !
The moment she cupped Alan’s face, under the dim candlelight, he could clearly see the tiny pores on her face. Her clear blue eyes were watery, and her red cheeks were the most natural makeup, it made the originally elegant elven queen look a little more like a young girl.
Alan was somewhat at a loss. His gaze was erratic, but he did not look at her face.
“Young man, I see that you have a delicate face and strange bones. Why don’t you become the queen of the Forest of Elves?” The elven queen in his arms suddenly became excited. Her long legs clamped on Alan’s waist and she climbed up his torso.
The pain made Alan suck in a breath of cold air.
“No, why did the topic turn to this…” Aaron said helplessly.
“Sob sob sob sob… sob sob…” the elven queen, who was very excited just now, suddenly burst into tears. Just as Aaron was feeling puzzled, she continued to speak.
“Mother… why did you abandon Orina? I don’t want to be queen…”
This was the first time Alan knew the elven queen’s name.
Listening to the girl who was hanging on his body crying, rambling on about the pain in her heart over the years, made his heart hurt.
Orina, despite being the elven queen, was not happy.
Her mother, the previous elven queen, had led the elven race to participate in the war between the gods and the demons 800 years ago.
That unprecedented war involved all the races on the continent and lasted for 100 years.
Countless races died and their populations dwindled. The eight major races had no choice but to propose a truce.
During the 700 years of the truce, various races repopulated and gradually recovered their vitality. The continent also slowly became lively.
The previous elven queen passed away 200 years ago before her daughter could grow up, due to her severe injuries that were left unattended for too long.
Orina’s fate was determined from the moment she was born. Other than learning how to manage the elves, she spent the rest of her childhood training.
In front of outsiders, she was a dignified and elegant elven queen with great strength. However, after she got drunk, she was just a girl who was suffocated by the burden to maintain the livelihood of her race…
Alan felt a little sympathy for this young queen. He gently patted the girl’s back to calm her down.
“Bang…”
A loud sound came from the door. Alan, who was holding Orina in his arms, was startled. The human-shaped koala that was hanging on his body slid down a little.
Alan reached out and lifted her up. He held the female elf in his arms and stood on the other side of the bar counter. He turned his head and locked eyes with another female elf who was standing at the door.
Seeing the shocked and dumbfounded look on the female elf’s face, Alan thought to himself, ‘oh no, looks like the parents have arrived…’
Sofia’s heart skipped a beat. Was this coquettish elf girl who hung herself on a man still the dignified and elegant queen of her family??
“You… you… you bastard put Orina down now!” She shouted at Alan.
Alan recognized the female elf standing opposite of him as the owner of the Elf Tavern.
“No, let me explain…”
As Alan spoke, he subconsciously lifted Orina, who had gradually lost her strength after crying and had passed out from drunkenness, fearing that she may fall to the ground.
“Damn it, where are your hands touching! Remove your hands now!”
Sophia watched Alan’s actions and her exquisite face turned terrifying due to anger. At this moment, the simple tavern lobby seemed to have turned into hell, and the flames of anger that were like hellfire pounced straight at him.
Hearing her scream, Alan unconsciously pinched the soft flesh under his hands. It was round and elastic. Judging from the feel of his hands, he determined that she was someone who exercised all year round.
Alan turned his head and looked down. Based on the rough range of his gaze, he could confirm that the part that his hands were supporting was Orina’s buttocks.
Seeing the teenager’s subconscious actions, Sofia felt that her 500 years of self-restraint were about to be thrown away like trash.
“No… No, it’s not what you see. This is a misunderstanding…”Alan quickly raised his hands to prove his innocence.
However, Orina, who was already drunk and had no strength, lost Alan’s support and completely slipped off his body.
“Orina!” Seeing that her queen was about to fall to the ground, Sophia rushed in through the door.
Alan was flustered and tried to hold Orina upright again.
Sophia, who rushed over, pushed Alan away. She gently held her queen’s shoulder and gently leaned her against her chest. She looked lovingly at the queen’s drunken sleeping face and raised her head to glare at Alan.
“You brat, what were you thinking! What were your intentions towards our Queen?”
“No, let me explain… things are not what you think they are. Orina was just…”Alan pointed at her, who was leaning against Sofia’s arms. He was just about to explain when he suddenly stopped and froze on the spot.
Sofia was puzzled. She followed his line of sight and lowered her head to look at her queen.
She saw that Orina’s elegant emerald-green dress was scrunched up due to the ordeal just now. Not to mention, her collar was already half-open, revealing a snow-white hemisphere on her chest. Her face was flushed red, coupled with her fair skin, and her red lips were slightly parted.
This pure and lustful look was extremely alluring to even Sophia, not to mention the little boy who had never seen the world before.
“If you keep looking, I’ll gouge your eyes out.” At this moment, Alan felt that he saw the devil behind Sophia.
Hearing her, he immediately averted his gaze. The scene just now had quite a big impact on him. Even if he averted his gaze, that dazzling snow-white color kept flashing in his mind.
As a self-proclaimed Casanova, Alan could not help but feel a surge of emotions at this moment.
Chapter 5: The Charm of Lafite
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Alan kept reciting a clear-your-head mantra in his mind, hoping that he would not make a fool of himself.
Sophia quickly tidied up her queen’s clothes, looking troubled.
She secretly hated the young man in front of her for bullying her young and gullible queen. Not only did he get her drunk, but he also seemed to be plotting something evil.
She kept sizing up the young man beside her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Alan calmed his heart down and stole a glance at Sophia. When he realized that she was staring at him intently, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
“Ahem…. look, your queen has not paid for the wine she drank just now, is it possible…”Alan rubbed his left thumb and index finger together, trying to change the topic.
Being stared at by an elven powerhouse, the pressure was too great, especially when he was still feeling a little guilty.
Sophia looked at the vulgar young man in front of her who was asking for money. He actually dared to ask for money after taking advantage of her queen. She was amazed at how shameless he was.
“Hmph, I’ll pay the bill, but first, you better explain what happened just now.”
Alan looked at the female elf who was sneering at him. In order to get the money for the wine, he had to bear the immense pressure and explained.
“What happened just now was really an accident. I didn’t get Orina drunk, and I also didn’t expect her to have such a poor tolerance for alcohol.”
Sophia looked at the sincere-looking young man and didn’t believe a single word.
“Stop quibbling. You lured the queen out of my tavern to a remote place like this and you expect me to believe that you have no intentions at all? Who would believe you?” As she said that, she looked around the tavern, her face full of disgust.
“I admit that I had intentions when I brought Orina back to my tavern. However, she got drunk entirely because my wine was too good. She accidentally drank too much.”
Alan straightened his neck and defended himself. Although he was afraid that the female elf in front of him, who was already full of anger, would beat him up, as a decent young man with polite manners, he should not be afraid of violence.
“You little brat, lying is not a good habit. Our queen drinks the best elven wine in her clan. Ordinary wine can’t make her get hooked to it, let alone get drunk.”
Alan looked at the female elf who disdainfully looked at him and his wine and immediately retorted, “You dare talk about your elf clan? Such a huge clan, yet there is no one else to take charge? Look at what you all forced Orina into. She can only release her pent up emotions when she’s drunk…”
“You little brat, what do you know?” Sofia interrupted the young man’s righteous speech. “The elf queen has her own responsibilities and obligations. This is also a great honor for her. Orina’s hard work now is all for the sake of surviving the next Great War between the gods and demons… forget it, why am I talking about this with a little brat who doesn’t have any magic at all…”
Sofia stopped mid-sentence and shut her mouth resentfully.
Alan was a little confused. He felt that things had become very complicated…
“Don’t change the topic for me. I’m asking about your intentions.”Sophia was very angry, she felt that she was almost led astray. “With the queen’s strength, even orc wine wouldn’t get her drunk. If you didn’t use despicable means to force her to drink, how could she get drunk?”
“If you continue to frame me like this, I will be angry. A mere elven queen, why would I need to use despicable methods to get her drunk? Look at my weak and fragile body! Do you think I want to die?”
Sophia was initially furious when she heard the first half of the sentence, but in the end, she couldn’t say anything in response. Where did this shameless boy get his temper from?
“You… you’re twisting your words around! You’re a sharp-tongued brat!”
“Anyway, what I said is the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can taste it yourself. But, please pay the bill first!” Alan placed one hand on his waist, looking arrogant. Sofia was so angry that her teeth itched.
“Fine, I’ll see how good your wine is, see if it is better than our elven wine!” After saying that, she took out silver coins from her purse and helped her queen sit down on a chair in the middle of the hall.
Alan was delighted when he received the silver coin. Then, he flashed into the bar counter with a happy expression on his face and repeated the same process when he served Orina.
Sophia saw the serious look on the young man’s face when he was fiddling with the wine set and gained a little more trust in what he said.
“Madam, please taste my wine, ‘Lafite’.”
At this time, Orina, who was already drunk, suddenly sat up and shouted, “Please let me drink another glass of Lafite!”
That shocked both of them. After saying that, Orina did not lie back down on the table. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and straightened her back. No one could tell if she was drunk or sober.
Alan only poured the wine for Sofia. As he was handing the glass over, Orina grabbed the glass halfway and tried to move the glass towards herself instead.
Sofia was greatly surprised. Just by smelling the wine, she could tell that this Lafite wine was good wine.
However, looking at her queen’s insatiable reaction, she felt a little embarrassed. She did not believe a single word that Alan said earlier. However, looking at the queen’s actions just now, she knew that she must have misunderstood him. Thinking of this, Sofia’s expression became a little stiff, she could not bring herself to apologize to him.
“Orina, you can’t drink anymore!” Feeling too embarrassed to look at the young man, she could only stop her queen’s temperamental behavior.
Orina turned to look at the person who stopped her from drinking. She seemed to be so drunk that she could not recognize the person in front of her.
After unsuccessfully trying to snatch the wine glass from the other person for a while, her big blue eyes were quickly filled with tears. “You’re a bad person!”
When Alan fetched more glasses and returned to to the table, all he saw was this scene and he felt his heart clench. Her expression should be illegal.
He tactfully decided not to speak at this time. He only looked at Sofia full of condemnation.
Feeling that she had been reprimanded by the two children, Sofia’s heart skipped a beat. She softened her tone and said, “You can only drink one more glass. After that, no more.” She let go of her hand that was holding the glass.
Orina took the glass and looked as proud as a cat. She smiled sweetly and sat on the chair, drinking the wine obediently.
Alan poured another cup of wine for Sophia and signaled for her to taste it.
He could see that Sophia was also very interested in the glass but didn’t have the nerve to ask him.
Alan wanted to leave her hanging, so he did not take the initiative to explain.
Watching her carefully pick up the goblet and taste the wine elegantly, Alan sighed in his heart. It made sense why elves were synonymous with elegance no matter where they were, even if they were in a simple tavern.
After the first sip, the rich aroma of the wine made Sophia forget the previous unpleasantness. After another sip, she felt that Alan was in fact quite handsome and didn’t seem to be that bad.
Therefore, Sophia drank one cup after another. After half a bottle of wine, she was tipsy.
“Come, have a drink with me!” Sophia put one of her legs on her chair and grabbed Alan’s collar.
“Seriously, do all you elves act the same way after drinking too much….” Alan looked like he had nothing to live for.
What was wrong with these elves? Do they all liked to pounce on people when they’re drunk!?
Before Allen could finish lamenting, Sophia took her glass and poured a full glass of wine down his mouth.
The powerless young man was unable to break free from this archmage’s restraint. All he could do was accept that he was humiliatingly pressed up against her majestic chest while wine was poured down his throat.
In the end, Alan was also a little drunk…
Chapter 6: The New Lafite is Hitting the Market
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the large bed in the bedroom on the second floor.
Allen’s punctual biological clock did not care if his master had been drinking or not. When it was time, it urged him to wake up.
He woke up groggily. With one hand behind his back, he propped himself up on the bed.
He let his mind and body slowly wake up as he recalled what happened last night.
Alan remembered that Orina went crazy for a while after getting drunk. Just when the two of them were entangled together, Sophia came to find her queen.
Then….
A snow-white, slightly erotic image suddenly flashed in his mind, which made Alan feel a little more awake.
Then Sophia drank the wine. No matter how much she said she disliked it, her body still reacted truthfully. A bottle of Lafite was enough for her.
The scenes that followed in his memory were a little less appropriate. After all, it was humiliating for a man to be buried in the chest of a female until he almost suffocated.
Moreover, in his previous life, he could drink more than 1,000 glasses of alcohol and not get drunk. How could he get drunk from the two glasses of red wine last night? It was definitely because of the lack of oxygen!
Alan kept finding excuses for his drunkenness last night.
He could not remember what happened after that. He had no memory of how he went back to his bedroom or how he closed the door.
When he finished remembering last night, he was much more awake.
Alan felt that his hand, which was propped up behind him, was touching something that he was unfamiliar with. He subconsciously squeezed it.
It was round, full, and elastic. Most importantly, it was majestic and could not be held with one hand…
“Sob –”
A soft moan scared Alan so much that he quickly withdrew his hand, his face full of shock.
Orina felt that she slept very well. However, she felt that there was a huge rock pressing down on her chest, making her feel a little breathless.
She gradually gained her senses and felt that the huge rock on her chest was a hand.
As Orina thought of this, she instantly jolted awake. When she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome young man shaking his head in a daze.
When she looked down, she saw that there was indeed a large hand covering her chest. There was an endless stream of heat exuding from that hand. Orina was both embarrassed and anxious.
Just when she did not know what to do, the young man’s hand unconsciously squeezed her. An electric feeling spread throughout her body and a moan escaped from her mouth.
Orina was extremely embarrassed and angry. The young man quickly withdrew his hand and she immediately closed her eyes, pretending to still be asleep.
Alan was terrified by the soft moaning. After moving his hand away, he slowly turned his head to look behind him.
Laying on his left side was the extremely beautiful elven queen, Orina. Her face was flushed, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. She did not seem to be sleeping very well.
Alan subconsciously looked down. He saw that the folds on her clothes by her chest seemed to have been messed up by someone. He clenched his left hand twice as if he was trying to recall the touch just now.
He quickly shifted his gaze away, feeling a little guilty. On his right was Sophia, who was sleeping stiffly.
She was sleeping on her side. More than half of her long slender legs were resting on Alan’s legs.
With her eyes closed, she looked much more amiable. Compared to last night when she broke into the tavern like a lioness protecting her cub, Sophia now looked more like a gentle big cat.
Taking advantage of the fact that neither of them had woken up, Alan moved the long legs off his legs, quietly climbed out of the bed, and quickly left his bedroom.
The guilty look on his face was captured by the two elves lying on his bed.
After Alan left, Sophia and Orina looked at each other and saw the warning in each other’s eyes.
Orina was protecting her dignity as the queen, while Sophia was protecting her image as an elder.
The two elves reached a tacit agreement through eye contact. They turned around facing away from each other with only their red ears silently betraying their feelings.
Alan ran out of his bedroom as if he was running for his life. He finally let out a sigh of relief. He did not dare to imagine what would have happened if something had gone wrong. If either of the two elves woke up, he would be dead.
He came to the first floor of the tavern and looked at the mess on the ground. He could imagine what kind of terrible battle situation he encountered after blacking out last night.
“Sigh, I almost lost my virginity…” Alan was still pretending to be a good boy with only pure thoughts. He laughed.
He cleaned up the first floor and the tavern was once again as clean as new. He looked at the results of his labor and nodded in satisfaction.
No matter how simple his own tavern was, it was still the best. However, it would be even better if the system gave him a decoration booster. After all, which father doesn’t want his daughter to look more beautiful.
Alan finally had some free time. He sat on the chair outside the bar and summoned the system to check his mission status.
[ Mission 1]: Successfully entertain a customer with Lafite and receive positive feedback. Complete.]
[ Reward ]: Unlock the right to purchase magical grapes, one gold coin per batch, 60 grapes per batch. ]
[ Adding a small amount of this grape will make the wine taste even better. Depending on the amount used, you can obtain different levels of special magical effects. ]
After reading the message, Alan was silent for a long time as he digested the information from the system.
“System, you are too much!! It’s just a batch of grapes. Even if it has magical powers, you’re selling it for one gold coin? Are you trying to rob me?”
Alan was furious. If a handful of grapes cost one gold coin, then how many gold coins would it take to brew wine? Not to mention that an ordinary bottle of Lafite would only cost six silver coins. Selling 10 bottles would only get him six batches of grapes…
It seemed that the birth of a magic Lafite wine was not in the near future. After all, Alan was a very poor man.
After Alan calmed down, he carefully read the system’s remarks on this magical grape. Although this item was expensive, if he could obtain a few batches, it should be enough to get the word out about his tavern.
After all, if one were to ask who were the richest people on the continent, the answer would not be the nobles.
Mages, magical equipment masters, and pharmacists, these three categories of people were the richest. If they knew that his tavern sold wine that had magical powers, even if it was a little more expensive, they would probably be willing to fork out money to enjoy it.
Alan imagined the beautiful life of sleeping on gold coins in the future and laughed out loud.
He almost emptied all of his savings and only had one gold coin and eight silver coins remaining. In fact, he only had that gold coin because that was what Sophia paid him with last night.
He made up his mind and said, “Let’s exchange one batch and see how much effect it will have when I add a small amount of it into the brew.”
As soon as Alan finished speaking, the balance in his system account only had eight silver coins remaining. On the other hand, he was holding a bunch of huge grapes in his hand.
The standard inverted triangle shape was similar to the giant grapes from his previous life. However, each fruit here was three times larger and it constantly emitted a rich and tempting fragrance.
Allen felt the weight in his hands. He was shocked but excited. He could tell from the size that his purchase was worth the price. Moreover, this thing also contained magic.
The sweet aroma of grapes filled his nose. After waking up from a hangover and not having breakfast, he built up quite the appetite.
“Gulp… I’ll just eat one to try it. I have 60 of them anyway.” Alan swallowed his saliva and comforted himself.
Alan plucked one of the grapes from the batch. The magic grape with slightly torn skin from his plucking smelled even more tempting.
He stuffed the whole grape into his mouth. The skin was as thin as paper and it melted as soon as it entered his mouth. The flesh was dense but not soft, and the grape juice exploded in his mouth as soon as he took a bite. The sweet juice made his mouth water even more.
Alan immediately immersed himself in this delicious grape.
Chapter 7: Magic Grapes
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
[ 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.
