After lunch, Connie and Rex proceeded to the city lord’s castle.
Meanwhile, Mag made use of the free time in the afternoon to visit Hannah’s brewery to help her with the testing of the brewing machine. He even deployed some of the staff from the textile factory who operated the steam engines.
After coal was shoveled into a steam boiler, the steam started pushing a piston, which caused the gears to run.
The entire workshop suddenly came alive, and the sound produced was smooth and pleasing to the ears.
“It’s really moving!”
Mobai was slightly agitated. He looked at the liquid and steam moving within those pipes and the machines that started working in disbelief.
Although he made all the parts by hand with Lulu, it was still very exciting to see the parts pieced together form a huge machine that could run smoothly.
Lulu was also smiling. They had put in tremendous effort and time for this machine, so he was naturally happy to see it working successfully.
“It really works! It works! There’s no problem at all!”
No one would be happier than Hannah. She ran a few rounds in the workshop to check, and make sure that every part was working successfully. She was so excited seeing that there were no problems that her face flushed red.
“Boss! You’re awesome!”
Hannah gave Mag a big hug, followed by Mobai and Lulu. After that, she clenched her fists, and said confidently, “From now on, I will rule the booze business of Chaos City! I want to become the real queen of rum!”
“What’s with this foolish confidence?” Mag looked at Hannah with a smile. She had finally owned her brewery again in Chaos City, and it was automated and way bigger compared to her previous little workshop.
It would no longer be a dream for the citizens of Chaos City to enjoy value-for-money, better-quality, and sufficient supply of rum.
On top of that, there would be a complete makeover of the brewing scene in Chaos City.
“The machines are operating normally. This was made from your old machine. The instruction manual is here. You can study it slowly.” Mag passed Hannah a thin manual. From today onwards, he would become a legitimate investor who would not be involved in the works at the brewery.
“Alright.” Hannah received the manual, and looked at Mag seriously as she said, “Don’t worry, Boos, I’ll be able to let the customers of Mamy Restaurant enjoy the new rum that I make very soon!”
“I’ll wait for your good news.” Mag nodded with a smile. He bade his farewell and left. It was about time he went to the city lord’s castle to attend the Peace Alliance establishment ceremony.
Mag returned to the restaurant. Irina was already waiting for him inside.
“I took a trip down to Hannah’s brewery to help her test out the machines. Connie is here,” Mag told Irina.
“The meeting had already started. We should be on our way.” Irina glanced at the clock on the wall.
“Hang on.” Mag went upstairs, and came down quickly after changing.
He was going over for a meeting tonight, so Mag did not wear his cool and suave cape. Instead, he put on a rather simple but loose-fitting long robe that would not give his figure away. He also wore a belt and a black-and-white mask.
“Let’s go.” Irina held Mag’s arm, and they disappeared within the restaurant with a flash of a faint golden glow beneath their feet.
In the city lord’s castle’s meeting room.
Michael and Rolan were seated in the main seats. Goblin Chief Davis, Dwarf King Job, Great Elder of the Golden Dragon Tribe Louis, Great Elder of the Frost Dragon Tribe Douglas, and Chief of the Falk Tribe Connie had taken their respective seats.
Everyone sat in silence, occasionally glancing at the door. Now, the only people left were Alex and Irina, as well as the representative of the mysterious Lantisde.
“Hey, Michael, are you sure you’ve already informed them?” Louis asked Michael impatiently.
“I suppose they will arrive soon.” Michael nodded. Alex was the one who proposed the alliance. It would not make sense for the couple to be missing. Could it be that he was severely injured in that battle where he killed Bruno?
“He’s here,” Douglas suddenly said softly as he looked at the door.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the door. Irina and Alex walked in side by side with matching footsteps, one dressed in white and one dressed in black. Their aura was so powerful that one would subconsciously avoid them.
Behind them was a magic caster with a crystal ball floating in his hand. This was the high priest of Lantisde.
“We were delayed on our way here,” Mag explained briefly. After that, he sat on an empty seat beside Connie.
Irina sat beside Mag.
Dexter found a seat in the far corner. He nodded at everyone, and did not speak.
“How did you kill Bruno?” Louis asked curiously. Bruno was within the top 10 in the whole of the Norland Continent in terms of capabilities. Even Louis was not certain that he could defeat him.
“Two slashes.” Mag did not speak much to maintain his aloof persona.
Everyone present was shocked. Alex only took two slashes to kill Bruno. Indeed, 10th-tier powerhouses were nothing in front of Alex.
Connie glanced at Mag with admiration. She did not forget to greet Irina at the same time. “Hi, Big Sister Irina.”
“Hi, Connie.” Irina smiled.
Connie wanted to say “your husband is incredible,” but it did not seem very appropriate, so she kept the comment to herself. However, this Master Alex was really impressive. After disappearing for three years, he came back even stronger, and no one could stop him.
“Alright. Since everyone is here, let’s move on to the topic, and discuss the Peace Alliance.” Michael looked at everyone, and announced, “The devil is on the loose, and we need the cooperation of all the races to continue the peace treaty so that we can extend our peaceful times for another century. That way, the various races could have enough trust to work together. That is the only way to deal with the devil.
“Right now, the Roth Empire is very strong. They have the intention to overrule the peace treaty, and start another racial war. Once a racial war restarts, the devil could become stronger because of that. When that happens, even if the various races worked together, it would be difficult to subdue the devil.
“To prevent history from repeating itself, the various races have come to a consensus previously. Today, I hope that we can reach a stable alliance with some restrictions—the Peace Alliance.
“The goal of the Peace Alliance is to ensure peace in the Norland continent, stand against failure and any inequality and injustice, and at the same time, we will work together to capture the devil, and kill or reseal it!”
