Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As the battle for the throne in the capital became more and more intense, the atmosphere in Rock City gradually became tense.
Recently, Alan had been running around every table in the tavern, constantly appeasing the mood of every customer.
The rest of the matters were left to Yupanki to handle.
Looking at citizens that became violent, Alan finally realized that something was wrong.
Alan voiced out his concerns when Kramer and administrative officer Severino were around tonight.
“What should we do with this violent situation recently? Bart and the shaman have also been affected quite a bit. The two of them almost fought…”
Alan looked worried. He had put in a lot of effort in the city-wide electricity plan of Rock City. Victory was in sight, and there was nothing he could do about the problems of the two important inventors.
Although he did not know why, as long as the irascible duo heard Alan’s persuasion, they would calm down. However, he could not stay by the two of them all the time.
“Sigh, we are also worried about this matter. Today, Severino almost got into a fight on the street. However, the two of them don’t remember why they fought after they calmed down.”
After saying that, Kramer could not help but sigh. His most important right-hand man, his closest friend, had also been affected.
“The most important thing, I’ve checked both inside and outside the city to find out the reason why everyone has become so irascible, but I haven’t found anything suspicious at all!”
After he finished speaking, Kramer’s expression became even more bitter. As the master of a city, he had actually been plotted against by someone, yet he hadn’t been able to find even the slightest trace of it!
Alan was also very surprised when he heard this. He had thought that the governor’s manor more or less knew the reason, but he hadn’t expected that they had no clue as well.
Wayne glanced at Abraham, his pale face under the hood, looking conflicted.
He looked at Abraham for a long time, but in the end, he chose not to say anything. Wayne believed that Abraham would not watch Rock City be destroyed.
At this time, Ai Xiaohei meowed, but none of the people present understood the beast language. They looked at each other.
Ai Xiaohei meowed for a while and realized that everyone was looking at her in confusion. She also realized that this group of people could only understand her through voice transmission.
“Eh, I think Ai Xiaohei is trying to say that she might know the reason why everyone has become so irritable!?”
Alan explained uncertainly.
Just as he finished speaking, Ai Xiaohei nodded vigorously, indicating that this was what she meant.
Seeing her like this, everyone was shocked!
“Quick, quick, quick, Alan, get Xiaohei to say more. We’ll try our best to understand!”
Kramer said excitedly. He could tell that he was naturally anxious after finally seeing the clues to the cause of the incident.
Following that, they surrounded Ai Xiaohei. She tried very hard to convey her words with meow and body language. After struggling for a long time, she finally expressed the matter clearly.
Looking at everyone’s stupidity, Abraham thought that he should not let them know. He also knew the reason.
“If what Ai Xiaohei said is right and this gray fog is the product of the Abyss, then this time it will be difficult to deal with.” Kramer’s face was solemn.
“Indeed, anything related to the Abyss means trouble. Moreover, we still haven’t figured out if this was done by the demons or if there’s a problem between the two worlds.”
Wayne’s face was solemn as well, and his eyes kept sizing up Abraham and Lolita.
“Can I ask something?” Alan asked curiously.
“Is the Abyss filled with this gray fog?”
“Is this fog caused by the demons, or does the Abyss have it in the first place?”
No one could answer Alan’s question.
None of the humans in the bar had participated in the war between gods and demons 800 years ago.
As for the demons that had never appeared on the continent in 800 years, the humans didn’t have any clue about them.
In the silence, a loud voice came from outside the bar.
“Allow me to explain to everyone.”
Everyone at the bar looked towards the voice.
The speaker was an old man who looked very similar to Bart.
The old man looked very old, but his complexion was very good. His face was rosy, and his silver-white beard was almost dragged to the ground. There was a cute braid tied on it, which made him look less serious and more amiable.
Bart and a dwarf girl stood on his left and right. Compared to the man, the dwarf girl looked gentle, and her figure was only sturdy, well-proportioned, and not buff.
Behind her were three strong dwarven men. They seemed to be guards protecting the elderly and young dwarves along the way.
The goblins and dwarves were at odds with each other. This was known throughout the entire continent. So, Shaman kept a distance from this group of dwarfs when he entered the tavern.
Seeing that the dwarves had stopped, he did not follow them. Instead, he walked straight towards Alan.
“Shaman, sit here.”
Alan arranged for him to be with Kramer first.
Then, he walked towards Bart.
“Hello, I am the owner of this tavern, Alan. May I know how I should address you?”
Alan squatted down and said while propping himself on one knee on the ground.
The old man looked at Alan’s actions and nodded. He was very pleased with the respect of this little human child.
“I know you, Alan. You can call me Grandpa Babor like Bart, or you can call me Great Elder.”
The old man’s loud voice rang out. Alan could hear a trace of gratitude and caring from his voice.
He had doubts in his heart. He would only ask Bart when he had the chance in the future.
Bart, who was standing beside Grandpa Babor, appeared to be very obedient. He kept a straight face. He had been silent since he entered the door.
“Grandpa Babor, you and your clansmen come and sit here. Just now, you said that you knew about the Abyss, so please feel free to tell us about it.”
Alan led them to sit next to Kramer and went to get the wine. This time, he did not ask and directly prepared two types, Lafite and whiskey. They were mainly prepared for the elderly and women.
“Ha…”
“Bart is right. Alan, the wine you made is all good wine!”
Grandpa Babor sighed as he downed a glass of whiskey in one go.
Alan poured him more wine and did not hide the smug look on his face. The wine he brewed was indeed good wine, there was no doubt about it.
After drinking two glasses, Grandpa Babor began to talk about the Abyss.
“I heard you guys talking about the layer of gray fog outside just now. That is indeed something from the Abyss.”
“You young people really don’t know much about the Abyss anymore.”
Grandpa Babor felt a bit helpless. He glanced at Abraham and Lolita at the table next to him and continued.
“That layer of gray fog is something from the Abyss. It’s also a very troublesome substance. Even demons in the Abyss will be affected by it.”
“It will make people irritable, bloodthirsty, and gradually lose their rationality. It floats in the air. As long as you’re still breathing, you’ll definitely be affected by it. You can’t get rid of it at all…”
With Grandpa Babor’s explanation, everyone began to pay attention to the layer of gray fog. After all, it could affect people as they breathed. It could not be removed or controlled.
“As for why this abyssal gray fog appeared in Rock City, I think you can ask the two over there.”
The people who did not understand looked in the direction the old man was pointing at. Abraham and Lolita?
Only Alan and Wayne looked at each other helplessly.
