Chapter 83: A Mission

Alan woke up early that day and realized that his cute pet, Ai Xiaohei, and his most capable assistant, Yupanki, seemed to be at odds with each other. Was there a conflict between the two of them?

Alan had woken up a little late. He was a little confused when he saw the awkward look between the Ai Xiaohei and Yupanki.

As usual, Ai Xiaohei was resting on the bar counter. Yupanki came to inform Alan after tidying up the bar.

Alan was shocked to hear that AI Xiaohei had grown long and sharp nails overnight. Would the cats in the magical world be affected by hormones?

Following that, Alan grabbed Ai Xiaohei and cat her nails.

Ai Xiaohei’s exasperated cry, Alan’s patient persuasion, and Yupanki’s mocking laughter made Lolita, who was sitting quietly at the side, suddenly feel a sense of peace.

Xiaobai looked at Ai Xiaohei’s miserable state and felt a chill down his spine. Sure enough, the boss of the tavern should be Alan.

Rock City, where there had been no moonlight for a long time.

In front of the tavern, the nearby streets had already been installed with electric lights. Even on a moonless night, the lights were still as bright as day.

“Sigh, the situation in the neighboring city is not looking good…”

Severino said somewhat dejectedly.

“Indeed. Originally, many people from the Chamber of Commerce were going over to the next city. But before they arrived, they heard that it was already chaotic over there, and they all rushed back halfway.” Dorje sighed.

Wayne and Abraham were Lolita some drinking games.

Yupanki was busy in the lobby.

Sophia hadn’t been here for a few days, and Alan was chatting with her.

“Has the Elf Tavern been affected by the gray fog recently?” Alan asked.

Sophia took a sip of whiskey and answered after a while. She frowned, and anyone with eyes could see that she was troubled.

“There have been a lot of troublemakers in the tavern recently. I have to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, the young children in the clan won’t be able to handle them.”

Alan looked at Sophia, who had become much more haggard, and felt a little uncomfortable. She was not like the usual her at all.

“It’s okay. It’ll be fine after a while. The governor and the others are looking for a solution.” Alan did not have any good ideas either, so he could only console her.

“Oh right, that incandescent lamp is indeed very useful. The girls said that they won’t be afraid of not being able to see clearly in the dark night.”

Sophia was not in the tavern when Grandpa Babor talked about the gray fog that day, so she did not know what the gray fog was.

Although she could sense that the gray fog was not a good thing, she did not know how dangerous it was.

Alan fell into deep thought. Orina had returned to the Elven Forest for a long time, but there had been no news from her. Alan knew that she had returned to defend against the demons. However, it seemed that the demons were planning to use Rock City as a battlefield.

While he was hesitating whether to tell Sophia about the Abyss, the gray fog, and the demons. Kramer, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, “Dorje, I remember that you were in the same mercenary group as Wayne when you were young, right?”

Kramer suddenly asked. No one understood why he said this at this moment.

“I remember you once said that when you were young, you were a traveling merchant who traveled on the road.”

Dorje did not know why Governor suddenly asked about the past, but he still answered his question.

“Governor, is there anything you need me to do?” Dorje asked.

“Yes, I have a mission that I hope you can agree to.”

Hearing Governor’s words, everyone quieted down and looked at Kramer without saying a word.

“I need an experienced and courageous merchant to help me transport a batch of resources to the neighboring city and get some information back.”

Kramer paused for a moment before continuing.

“Today, I received a piece of news from the governor of the neighboring city. Their situation is getting out of hand. The Roders Empire hired dark mages from God knows where, and they poisoned all the crops inside and outside the city.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They had never thought that the other party would use such underhanded methods to start a war.

“The governor of the neighboring city has sent a request for reinforcements. He hopes that we can send them a batch of supplies. If we have the spare strength, we can help them drive away the Roders’s cavalry outside the city. That would be the best.”

“Otherwise, they will be attacked from both inside and outside of the city. They don’t have enough troops to resist.”

After they finished speaking, everyone fell silent. In such a situation, going to the neighboring city, whether it was to transport supplies or gather intelligence, would be very dangerous.

Dorje listened to Governor’s explanation and fell into deep thought. He was still a little conflicted about whether to agree or not.

“Agree. Dorje, I’ll go with you!”

Wayne had already made a decision for Dorje before he agreed.

Dorje looked at Wayne in shock, his face full of confusion.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve felt the thrill of a mission!”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Since his old partner was already so eager for a new mission, Dorje naturally had to go with him.

Alan was a little worried, but he also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he had no reason to stop him.

Severino was a little surprised. His old friend actually did not choose a person from the governor’s mansion but gave the heavy responsibility to two outsiders.

As an outsider, Sophia had no reason to interfere in this matter. She was very surprised when she heard about the current situation in the neighboring city.

“Abraham, I’ll leave the blacksmith shop to you after I leave!” Wayne put one hand on Abraham’s shoulder and said loudly. He came closer to Abraham and continued to whisper in his ear, “I know that the Abyss is about to take action, but I hope that you can take care of Alan. You know he’s been taking care of you. Don’t let anything happen to him.”

After saying that, he took the wine glass in his hand and lightly clinked it against the wine glass in front of Abraham.

He did not care about how pale Abraham’s face was under the hood and how scared he was.

There was no third person who heard what Wayne whispered to him.

“I wonder if there is such a troublesome gray fog in the neighboring city…”

Alan suddenly mentioned the gray fog outside because he felt that the gray fog in the sky had become much denser in the past two days.

Now it was almost impossible to see the sky. Looking at the sky, there was only a thick layer of dark gray fog.

A few days ago, there was still a faint trace of sunlight, but in the past few days, Rock City had completely lost the sunlight.

Alan’s words casted a shadow in everybody’s hearts. Until now, no one had been able to resolve the impact of this layer of gray fog on the entire city.

“Little Alan, you should focus on making the wine. Saving the world is what adults should do.”

Wayne’s free and easy voice sounded.

The five adults present looked at each other and smiled. There seemed to be more connection between them.
