As night fell, Romo Street was as desolate as ever.
Occasionally, there were nostalgic guests who came to look around, but looking at the withered long street and the rare restaurants and taverns, they didn't have much impulse to go into the shops.
This situation had lasted for a year, and the remaining businesses had begun to consider the issue of closing. They would starve to death if they relied on love to generate electricity.
"Sir Lucian, it seems that there are not many taverns left on Romo Street except for the Titan Tavern, but they are too noisy. Let's change places." Several officials of the Ministry of War followed Lucian as they walked on Romo Street. An official said.
"Yeah, I haven't been here for a year. I didn't expect it to be so desolate. No matter what, it was the first choice for eating, drinking, and playing around in the past." There were also officials who said with some emotion.
"I'll take you to a good place. Except for Romo Street, you can't find a second place anywhere else." Lucian said with a smile.
The officials were a little surprised when they heard the words. Sir Lucian called several of their colleagues from the Ministry of War out to drink today. Recently, major events had happened one after another. They had nothing to do now, and they were in a bad mood. Naturally, they would gladly go to the appointment.
"Speaking of it, Bobby brought me to this place." Lucian looked at Bobby standing at the edge and said.
"It turned out to be a place recommended by Sir Bobby. There must be good wine." The officials were thoughtful. At the same time, they kept their thoughts.
Everyone in the Ministry of War knew that Hector and Bobby were close friends. They often drank together on weekdays.
The relationship between Lucian and Hector was also quite close. Now that Hector was gone, Lucian and Bobby were quite close. Today, several officials of the Ministry of War came out to drink together. With Bobby's official position and identity, he was generally not invited, but he was brought by Lucian. It was inevitable that people would think a little more.
"The day before yesterday, I happened to come across this newly opened tavern and tasted the good wine, so I dared to bring you to taste it." Bobby quickly said humbly. His official position was the lowest here. This time, Lucian brought him here probably with the intention of guiding him. He naturally had to perform well.
Not long after, the group arrived at the door of Saipan Tavern.
The ministers were surprised that a new tavern had opened here, but since Lucian had brought them here, they naturally did not say much and followed him into the tavern.
This was a new tavern, but the furnishings and decorations were very simple and did not appear luxurious at all. It was very different from the taverns they usually frequented.
However, after what had happened in the past few days, they really had no intention of going to the tavern to drink and have fun. They just wanted to find a quiet place to drink, chat, and relieve the depression in their hearts.
"Oh, we have customers again," Amy said as she poked her head out from behind the counter and looked curiously at the group of people who had just entered.
"Wow, what a cute little girl." Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at the little guy who looked like he was carved out of jade. They couldn't help but smile.
"Hello, everyone," Amy greeted them with a smile, looking obedient and cute.
"Hello, young lady," Lucian said with a smile. He had a very good impression of this tavern, and he had enjoyed himself to the fullest last night.
After returning home, he had a rare good night's sleep. He felt refreshed when he woke up this morning. If it wasn't for the news of Bloom being killed, he would feel that it was a very good day.
Meg came out of the kitchen when he heard the sound. He glanced at Bobby, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly. This person is simply the bartender of the tavern. He brings people to drink every two or three days, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. He really does his best.
"What would you like to drink?" Meg asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He was not intimidated by the official robes and official aura of this group of people.
Lucian glanced at the eight of them who came this time. He thought for a moment and said, "Give me three bottles of Maotai wine, and a bottle of whiskey to try. Give me two servings of each side dish. By the way, give me two more servings of Drunkard's Peanuts."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Meg nodded and turned into the kitchen.
"This boss is interesting. When we went to eat and drink in the past, those bosses were all flattering and fawning on us. He is not in a hurry at all." A minister said with a smile.
"Yeah, this boss looks very young. Can he really brew good wine?" There were also ministers who were puzzled.
"Maybe it's his personality, but the wine brewed by this boss is indeed good wine." Bobby explained with a smile.
Everyone chose a seat inside and sat down. As they chatted, they talked about the assassination of Bloom.
Seeing that there was no one in the tavern, only a little girl playing behind the wine cabinet, and the boss was also busy in the kitchen, they avoided the important matters and focused on the trivial matters.
Bloom was a military general, but he did not hold a position in the Ministry of War. He was estranged from the officials, so his death was far less impactful than the death of several ministers in the Ministry of War and the extermination of their family.
However, other news brought out by this assassination incident made them fearful and fearful.
If the person who killed Bloom was really the second prince, Joshua, then the murderer who slaughtered their colleagues' families was most likely Joshua too.
Those ministers had their families massacred because Joshua was imprisoned before they could clear their names. As a result, several of them could not bear it and committed suicide in the prison.
Lucian was in a high position and this matter was very sensitive. After just a few words, Lucian changed the topic and changed the topic.
"Your wine and dishes, please enjoy." Meg quickly served the wine and dishes to everyone, and then tactfully retreated.
"What kind of style is this? It's quite unique."
Looking at the three round Maotai bottles and the whiskey in the slender crystal bottle, everyone's eyes lit up.
With everyone's status, they naturally drank a lot of good wine, but there were not many taverns that would spend so much effort on the bottles.
"This is Maotai, the most delicious wine I have ever tasted." Bobby picked up a bottle of Maotai and skillfully opened the cap.
A thick aroma of wine instantly wafted out.
"This aroma!"
The ministers' eyes lit up, and those who loved wine couldn't help but take a deep breath of the wine.
"Just by smelling the aroma, I know it's a rare good wine. I didn't expect that there would be such a good wine hidden in a newly opened tavern on Romo Street." A minister exclaimed.
Bobby took a few glasses and filled them up for each minister one by one.
"I'm not drinking Maotai today. I want to try this so-called whiskey." Lucian refused Bobby's offer to pour him wine and picked up the bottle of whiskey on the table instead.
Such a crystal bottle was rare. Even if it was sold separately, it could be sold at a good price for Meg. However, the boss used it to store wine. It was worth two thousand copper coins for a bottle of wine. This crystal bottle alone was definitely worth it.
"Let me open the bottle for you." Meg came at the right time and took the whiskey from Lucian's hand. He first removed the cap and then pulled out the cork with the bottle opener.
"Please enjoy." Meg put down the whiskey.
