Chapter 75: News From the Imperial City

In the tavern

Yupanki and Alan were sitting face to face.

Alan had long chased Lolita to sleep. The existence of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai surprised Yupanki. It seemed that the tavern had added many new companions after he left.

“There is a child upstairs who is sleeping. Her name is Lolita. She will be staying in the tavern for a period of time. There are two guests here. One is Xiao Hei, my new cat. The other is Xiao Bai, Lolita’s magical dog.”

Alan introduced them to Yupanki happily.

“After you and Olivia left, I was very busy for a long time because of the harvest season.”

Alan rambled on about the recent events to Yupanki, and Yupanki just listened patiently.

“Then Bart made both the generator and the electric light. The cost of the electric light is much lower than the magic light, and the materials are easy to obtain. When the generator can be mass-produced in the future, Olivia can consider implementing electricity to the whole country.”

“My next plan is to promote electric lamps to the entire Rock City. Such convenient technology should be popularized.”

Yupanki looked at Alan, who was in high spirits during the narration, and his heart was even more shocked.

He was not from the Oreste Empire to begin with, but since he had chosen Princess Olivia now, he had long considered himself to be a member of the country.

From the moment Yupanki met Alan, Alan had continuously created surprises for him. It was only at this moment that he finally understood why Princess Olivia valued him so much.

It was because the princess had seen the magical aspects of the young man.

For example, the blueprint for the electric lamp and the generator. If it was not designed by Alan himself, where could it have come from?

And then there was that very interesting mahjong…

These were all things that had never appeared on the mainland. It was already shocking that the youth could create all these things.

“Alan, do you know why I would return to Rock City at this time?”

After listening to Alan’s explanation, Yupanki said with a serious expression.

Alan was stunned. He had indeed not thought about this problem. When he saw Yupanki just now, he was immersed in the joy of the tavern attendant’s return.

He shook his head and looked at Yupanki with a puzzled expression.

“Princess Olivia ordered me to come.” he continued after a pause.

“The situation in the Imperial City is not good. The next few days after the king’s death, Princess Olivia is managed to handle the matters. However, the other heirs won’t be too friendly to her, who has a close relationship with the princess. At least we received the news…”

Alan suddenly realized when he saw Yupanki staring at him.

“Someone wants to kill me!” Alan took over his words and said seriously.

It seemed that from the day he met Olivia, he was destined to be involved in this boring fight for the throne.

Yupanki nodded and said, “We received the news that the other crown princes are about to join forces and kill all the people related to Princess Olivia.”

Alan felt the pressure from Yupanki ‘s words.

The conversation was basically clear at this point, and the tavern fell into silence.

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter. We’ll take it one step at a time. You’re back anyway, so you’ll continue to work tomorrow. Please do your job well before the killer comes.”

Alan yawned, already very sleepy.

He had been tired all day. He had even chatted with Yupanki until midnight.

They were acquaintances, so there was no need to make any further arrangements. After all, he had room for Yupanki.

Alan staggered upstairs to rest.

Before leaving the first floor, Yupanki took a deep look at the cat and dog. He had a feeling that he had missed something.

In the forest outside Rock City.

Balls of gray fog floated in the air. When he thought carefully about where the fog had come from, he realized that it was where Xiao Hei and Lolita had appeared at the spatial node in the human world.

The fog, which was originally just a shallow layer, had started to gather together at some point in time. They floated in the direction of Rock City.

The next morning, after daybreak.

Alan woke up much later than usual. When he woke up, Yupanki had already finished tidied up the tavern.

He could not help but sigh. Sure enough, he could be more relaxed when Yupanki was around. He always helped to take care of everything.

For the whole day, Alan laid lazily on the bar counter in a daze.

After introducing Yupanki and Lolita to each other, Alan did not pay any attention to their interactions.

The weather in Rock City today was not good. It was cloudy, and it felt like it was going to rain.

Such gloomy weather always made people feel dispirited.

If electric lamps were to be popularized throughout the city, Bart alone would have to make generators and electric lamps for a long time. Alan did not want this matter to take up too much of his time. So, he still had to think of a way, to free Bart from this matter as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Bart came to the tavern, and Alan introduced him to Yupanki.

With his outstanding social talent, he quickly dug up Bart’s old secrets.

When Alan expressed his hope that Bart would find some people from his clan to help him build the things needed to lay out the electric lights in Rock City, the incredulous expression on his face made Alan somewhat puzzled.

“Alan, can you hand the production method to my clansmen?” Bart asked in puzzlement.

“Of course, why not? If you’re the only one who can make it, how long will it take for all the electric lights to be used in Rock City?”

Alan could not believe that Bart actually planned to build all the machines and lights by himself. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he had never considered the second possibility.

“Alan, actually, it won’t take long for me to work harder. I will make sure that the entire Rock City has electricity as soon as possible.”

Bart frowned. He still felt that it was inappropriate to ask his clansmen to build it.

“It really doesn’t matter. Moreover, compared to this matter, I have something else to ask of you. After all, this matter is more important.”

Alan thought about it. Based on the current information, Mission 5 was most likely a very long chain of missions.

He would get more different blueprints, and new blueprints that needed to be tried out. The best candidate for this task was Bart.

In Alan’s assumption, Bart would be in charge of innovation and research on new machines, while the dwarves would be in charge of mass production of the machines!

After telling Bart about this plan, his face suddenly became excited, and his eyes were full of tears.

Alan generously gave the technology to him unconditionally. As a friend, it was fine to accept it, but to give it to his own clansmen was really not right.

However, Alan insisted. Bart really couldn’t argue back, so he could only accept it gratefully. He also said that he would quickly discuss with his clansmen and use electricity to light up the entire Rock City as soon as possible.
