Titan Tavern was robbed by thugs and its owner, Efie, was kidnapped. After a night of terror, the news spread in the tavern circle.
Fortunately, after the Titan Tavern closed for a day, it immediately resumed business. The lady boss's complexion also looked good, which made the drinkers breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's good that Miss Efie is fine. I didn't sleep the night before when I heard the news. I was worried that something might have happened to you," Marcus looked at Efie with relief.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, President." Efie smiled and poured wine for the organizers of the Wine Association.
Fergus said indignantly, "Boris is such a scumbag. To think that we thought he was promoting the development of the winemaking industry and gave him the silver award."
The others at the same table had similar expressions.
When the news that Boris was the murderer spread, everyone did not quite believe it.
It was not until several of Boris' taverns were closed and the news of his suicide was confirmed that the news spread in the circle.
Efie's background was pitiful enough. Her parents died in a robbery.
Boris did not hesitate to hire thugs to do the same thing to Efie in order to seize the Titan Liquor formula and let the nightmare repeat itself.
Fortunately, Efie was blessed by the heavens and turned the misfortune into a blessing. The murderer was punished.
Efie smiled and drank a glass of wine with everyone before she went to work.
She knew that it was not because she was blessed by the heavens, but because she happened to meet Mr. Hades.
…
After the opening hours, Meg cleared the last few customers out. He was about to close the door when he saw Xi standing outside.
Meg looked at her and thought for a while before saying, "Do you want to come in for a drink?"
"Okay."
Xi's answer was still cold and straightforward. She walked past Meg and entered the tavern.
Irina had already cleaned up the tavern with magic, and Amy had fallen asleep on the chair behind the counter with Ugly Duckling in her arms. Annie had just taken out her paintbrush and sketchbook from under the counter, and was about to start her work for the night.
"She wants to drink some wine," Meg explained to Irina.
"What would you like to drink?" Irina looked at Xi and asked. She was like a lady boss serving customers.
"Maotai," Xi said.
Irina took a bottle of Maotai from the wine cabinet and gently waved her hand before it landed on the table in front of Xi.
"Thank you." Xi sat down and said, but her eyes fell on Anne.
Annie subconsciously hugged the sketchbook in her arms tightly. She was instinctively afraid.
"Anne, go upstairs and draw first, but you have to go to bed early tonight," Meg took a step forward and blocked Xi's line of sight. He smiled and said to Anne.
Annie nodded obediently and ran upstairs with the sketchbook and brushes in her arms.
"What would you like to order?" Meg turned to look at Xi and asked with a smile.
He knew that Xi meant no harm to Anne. Otherwise, she would not have given him the ring.
Judging from the current situation, the Ancient One had yet to show up to take Anne away, so his impression of Xi was still at the "guest" stage.
Moreover, Xi Xi had saved their lives back in the icefield, so it was only right for them to make a few dishes to go with the wine.
Xi glanced at the menu on the wall and said calmly, "I'll take all of them."
"That's an adult's willful words." Meg raised his eyebrows but did not reject Ai Fei's request. He was ready to go into the kitchen to cook.
"That …" Xi's voice rang again.
Meg stopped and was a little surprised by Xi's calm tone. For the first time, there was a strange fluctuation in his voice.
Xi still looked indifferent and said, "Red braised pork. Do you know how to make it?"
"Red braised pork? I do. "Meg nodded and looked at Xi strangely.
It seemed that Anne's comic skills were good enough to make Xi mention red braised pork.
Xi's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but she quickly hid it. She pondered for a while and said, "Then add a helping of red braised pork."
"Red braised pork? That'll take a while," Meg said.
Red braised pork was not difficult to make, but it needed time to stew slowly. It was not a dish that could be served casually.
"It's okay. I have time," Xi said calmly.
"But I want to sleep." Meg frowned.
Xi was stunned and looked at Meg. This guy wants to reject me?
"How about this? Give me a battleship in exchange for a helping of red braised pork," Meg said in a negotiating tone.
"Impossible," Xi said coldly without thinking.
This human was delusional. He wanted to use a portion of food to exchange for the most advanced battleship of the Ancients.
"Then a main cannon is fine too. The one that repelled Cthulhu in one shot." Meg lowered his request.
Xi just looked at him quietly and did not even bother to say a word.
"I don't want an electromagnetic cannon. Even a normal main cannon will do." Meg did not want to give up. After all, this was a reward that the system would not give him.
The technological level of the Ancients was far beyond the Norland Continent and Earth. Any main cannon would be a direct combat force against the undead army.
"You're a human knight and she's a sorcerer. Even if you get the main cannon, you won't be able to use it," Xi said.
"Then you're underestimating me. Isn't it just a cannon? Who are you looking down on? "Meg pursed his lips.
Irina rolled her eyes and blushed. No one knew what she was thinking.
"I've said that the existence of the Ancients must be hidden from others. Do you think it's reasonable for a battleship's main cannon to appear in this world?" Xi looked at Meg and asked.
Meg said seriously, "Any powerful attack made by the powerhouses is reasonable. At most, I'll carry it on my shoulder as a personal weapon. That's very reasonable."
Xi frowned as if she could not imagine that scene.
"The undead army is a lifeless existence. They have no fear or fear of death.
However, even if the various races of the Norland Continent form an alliance, the warriors who go to the north to stop the undead army from going south have families behind them. If they die on the battlefield, it won't be a simple number, but a broken family.
If possible, I want to increase the strength of the alliance. Even if it's just killing more undead, maybe the alliance will have fewer warriors dying, "Meg said seriously.
Xi looked at Meg with respect for the first time, but she still said coldly, "I want to taste it first and see if the braised pork is worth a main cannon."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Meg's eyes lit up as he turned and walked into the kitchen.
When she nodded, he knew there was a chance for the main cannon tonight.
He wanted a powerful single combat weapon, but he also needed a tempting bait.
"I was persuaded by him?" Xi frowned and felt like she had stepped into a trap.
"Are you a god?"
Irina sat down in front of her and looked into her eyes.
