“That woman and three-headed snake might be from underground. The Elder Things set up an order there, and limited the Cthulhu’s servants from coming to Norland Continent.”
Mag reached over to the shirt on the bedside table, and fumbled around in the pocket in vain. He suddenly recalled that he had not been smoking for a very long time, and could not help but find it a pity.
“There’s another world underground?” Irina asked curiously, even though she was blushing and a little short of breath.
“That might be the case. Perhaps this world is not quite the same as what we know it to be.” Mag nodded slightly. He looked up at the ceiling with a smile, and said, “There might even be a world up in the sky. Otherwise, why can’t powerhouses fly to even higher places? It’s as though there’s an upper limit
to the sky.”
Irina’s eyes widened gradually. It was rather unbelievable and difficult to accept.
Mag could understand what she was feeling, After all, the people on the Norland Continent probably thought that their world was the core, and the sky and earth revolved around them.
However, when they found out that the Norland Continent was just a filling sandwiched between two continents one day, they would not feel good at all.
Irina fell silent for a while. She looked at Mag, and asked, “If the god’s will came from the sky, would the gods be living in the world up there?”
“That’s what I think too.” Mag looked at Irina. She was his wife indeed. They even had the same ideas.
“What is the world outside like?” Irina asked curiously.
This was the essence of all intelligent life. They were curious about the unknown.
“Perhaps it’s endless space. Babla mentioned that the world outside the Moon was a vast sea of stars,” Mag said.
“What is that ring you gave Annie just now?”
“I got it from that woman. It can block off the aura on Annie so those things would not look for her,” Mag explained.
“That woman treats you rather well.” Irina looked up at him with a smile.
“She is just an emotionless robot. I handed the three-headed snake to her, and promised that I would hand all those strange underground organisms to her in exchange for the ring,” Mag said.
“Is that so?” Irina was not convinced. Her thin hands were already around his neck.
“Again?!”
The next morning, Mag woke up energetically. However, when he put on his slippers to go out of the room, he could feel that his legs were rather weak.
“It seems like even gods have to practice restraint.” Mag sighed to himself.
Today was the liquor-tasting event competition day. As a hot favorite for the champion, Mag had to be there to take a look.
More than half of a month had passed, and Saipan Tavern was still an unknown little tavern. This was still very far from his goal of making a name for himself in Rodu.
The liquor-tasting event was a shortcut. If Eiffie could still smoke her way through for so long with her subpar alcohol standard by relying on her father, then it seemed that the liquor-tasting event’s first prize was indeed a golden signboard.
Irina had nothing on today, so after everyone had breakfast together as a family, she went out with Mag to hail a horse-drawn carriage to go over to the liquor-tasting event.
“Mtr, Hades, are you going to the liquor-tasting event as a family?” Eiffie greeted with a smile as she walked out of the tavern.
“Yes.” Mag nodded.
“See you later, then,” Eiffie replied with a smile as she boarded a petite horse-drawn carriage with Mala.
Mag glanced at Irina. When he saw her calm expression, he felt slightly relieved. Mag went to the roadside to hail a horse-drawn carriage, and went straight to the liquor-tasting event.
The previous liquor-tasting events were organized by the Wine and Liquor Association, and were located in a manor provided by a noble in the southern part of Rodu.
The horse-drawn carriage pulled to a stop at the manor. Mag and family alighted, and saw that the road outside the manor was almost filled with parked horse-drawn carriages.
“So many horse-drawn carriages.” Amy tiptoed, but could not see the end to the countless horse-drawn carriages.
“Yes. It seems that this liquor-tasting event is rather influential.” Mag nodded with a smile. This was a good thing.
Manor took out the invitation Eiffie had passed him, and showed it to the staff checking at the entrance before going in.
It was said that the owner of this manor was a baron. The area of the manor was huge, and other than the owners of taverns who had registered to compete in the liquor-tasting event, there were also other wine-lovers who attended.
Mag was about to ask someone where the competition ground was.
“Mtr. Hades, we’re over here!” Eiffie and Mala came up with a smile.
“What a coincidence, we’ve just arrived too,” Eiffie said with a smile.
“Mm-hm. Yes.” Mag nodded reservedly. His wife was around, so he had to appear distant.
Irina sized Eiffie up with a smile. She did not speak, but her aura was enough to win.
“Big Sister Eiffie, you’re very pretty today,” Amy said as her eyes sparkled, looking at Eiffie in her long red dress.
Eiffie’s smile blossomed like a flower. She reached out to Amy with a smile, and said, “Ay!, you’re so cute. Let me bring you to somewhere with goodies.”
“Sure!” Amy’s eyes lit up upon hearing that there were goodies. She quickly grabbed onto Eiffie’s hand.
“The grading ground is in the chapel right in front. I think it’s starting. Let me bring you over,” Eiffie told Mag.
“Alright. Thank you.” Mag nodded.
Irina reached her left arm out, and wrapped it around Mag’s arm.
Eiffie spaced out for a while, and smiled courteously as she walked ahead while holding Amy’s hand.
‘Mag looked down at Irina’s arm wrapped around his in shock. This little move of proclamation was rather cute.
Irina smiled. Are you fit to even seduce my man in front of me?
With beauties around him, Mag was in the limelight the moment he entered the place.
In front of him was Eiffie in a long red dress and cute little Amy.
Beside him and holding his arm was Irina, as beautiful as a goddess, poised and elegant. Walking beside Irina was sweet Annie with her youthfulness blossoming.
Everyone turned to look at Mag immediately.
“This must be Baron Baraca, right?”
“Probably only the baron has such an awe-inspiring retinue.”
“The baron is so lucky… I’m jealous.”
Everyone looked at Mag with envy, jealousy, and lemons”.
‘Mag was rather fond of these gazes. It was so real.
After that, he went to take his seat in the audience.
“Hm?”
Everyone was stunned. They realized that Mag sat on the seat for Saipan Tavern.
“So he’s one of us.”
While everyone suddenly knew they were mistaken, they were even more jealous.
“I just want to know, how am I less than him?”
