Chapter 2008: This Taste! Superb!

In the empty tavern, there was a bottle of wine, a plate of peanuts, two shot glasses, and a crying man.

A middle-aged man could break down the very next moment.

Mag raised his brow slightly. He could not empathize much. Perhaps it was just like what Mr. Zhou Shu Ren[1] had said: people’s feelings were not interconnected.

As he cried, Bobby poured himself another glass of wine before chugging it down.

After he chugged the second glass down, he felt calmer because he was a little tipsy.

Therefore, he started mumbling to the empty space in front of him.

“S-Senior, say, although we’re officials in people’s eyes, we’re still ordinary people. You were at least a 6th-tier knight. I’m not even a knight. We didn’t do anything bad. We just followed orders from above. Now that something happened, why is it our fault?

“Tell me. All you did was listen to orders and press the seal to send out the secret message, but then they arrested you. Military orders are absolute. If you hadn’t sent that secret message, you would have been arrested a few days ago…

“Sigh… This is all a mess, a mess…”

Bobby chugged down another two glasses. He started to mumble as he rambled on.

Mag understood what was going on. This customer was an official from the military, and he had a close senior who was involved in this incident. He was one of the generals whose family was wiped out the night before.

“Don’t just drink, have some peanuts.” Mag sat before Bobby. He pushed the plate of drunkard peanuts that had not been touched yet towards Bobby.

Bobby turned to look. His gaze was unfocused. After spacing out for a long while, he reached out, and put a peanut into his mouth.

Crunch, crunch.

The peanut was chewed into pieces, and the fragrance woke Bobby up a little. He also became a little more talkative. He pulled Mag’s hand, and started to tell him about his love story, no, scratch that, his brotherhood with the senior.

Mag grabbed a handful of peanuts, and became a qualified audience.

Irina, who was drinking alone, came over with her wine curiously. She sipped on the wine as she listened intently, even cheering at the exciting parts.

“But do your wives know you two were so gay?” Irina asked curiously.

“Gay? That’s pure brotherhood… brotherhood, okay?” Bobby tilted his head, and he looked at Irina as he emphasized the important part loudly.

“Got it. Brothers are more important than your wives. The most important thing after work is to go drinking with your brothers.” Irina rolled her eyes. She glanced at Mag, and said murderously, “If you dare to do that, I don’t mind being a widow.”

“I have no brothers,” Mag quickly clarified when he saw the half-tipsy, half-vengeful Irina.

“Sigh. Life is so unpredictable. I thought we could drink until we were old. I didn’t expect him to leave before me just like that…” Bobby sighed deeply.

“Here, have a little more.” Mag poured him another glass of wine.

Bobby chugged it down, and went back to his stories.

“You mean your senior was wronged? This has nothing to do with him?” Seeing that Bobby was almost gone, Mag started to lead him on with questions.

“Isn’t… Isn’t that so. What was he? H-how could he deploy the army from the borders. Besides, it’s a war against the orcs and elves. No one would believe it was possible,” Bobby mumbled with a nod.

“Who gave the order? If it was the king, why was he arrested?” Mag continued asking.

“Wh-why are you asking about this?” Bobby glanced at Mag cautiously.

“Here, here, here, have another glass. You’re not drunk enough.” Mag poured him another glass.

Gulp.

Bobby gulped it down, and started talking again.

“I heard my senior say that it was not the king who gave the orders. It was the second prince who did it in the king’s name. I have no idea what he did to trick everyone. After that, the king came back to Rodu, sent troops to surround the military, and arrested all the generals. Everyone in the military had to be questioned…

“Sigh… what’s all this?

“Besides, a killer from nowhere slaughtered the families of many generals the night before, and burnt everything to the ground. There was not a single complete corpse to be found.

“Now everyone is just afraid that they will be the next target. There was no explanation from the top as well. This is too much…”

Bobby was completely drunk before he even finished half the bottle of wine. Thankfully, Mag had managed to get the address out from him, and even took out his money pouch to settle the bill. After that, Mag helped Bobby out, and got him a horse-drawn carriage, even instructing the coachman to send him home.

“Right now… Andre is probably… stumped.” Irina staggered to the door and into Mag’s embrace without realizing.

“I told you this was strong, and you didn’t believe it.” Mag looked at Irina, who had fallen asleep in his embrace, and picked her up with a pampering smile to send her upstairs.

Fruit wine had even less alcohol content than beer. Therefore, Bobby and Irina would be drunk before even drinking much of Maotai, which had high alcohol content.

After sending Irina upstairs, Mag was about to go downstairs again when Amy and Annie peeked their heads out from the playroom next door.

“Father, is Mother already asleep so early?” Amy asked curiously.

“She drank a little, and is slightly drunk, so she turned in early tonight,” Mag said with a smile.

“I see. Alright.” Amy nodded. However, she said very quickly, “Did you only drink and not eat?”

Mag could tell what Amy had in mind, and smilingly said, “We still have some leftover side dishes downstairs. If the two of you are hungry, you can go grab some.”

“Alright.” Amy quickly nodded happily, and went down hand-in-hand with Annie.

Because Irina got drunk very quickly, she still had quite a lot of drunkard peanuts left on her plate, and the pig ears salad and pig tongue salad were almost left untouched.

Mag warmed some milk for the two little fellows. The side dishes actually went quite well with milk too.

“This peanut is deshelled.” Amy picked up a peanut with her chopsticks, and threw it into her mouth. She chewed quickly, and the munching sounds made her look like a little squirrel nibbling on pine cones.

“It’s good. Fragrant and crunchy. Delicious.” Amy popped another peanut into her mouth happily, and even reminded Annie to try it.

Annie also put a peanut into her mouth as she chewed softly. She was also smiling very brightly. It seemed that she also liked the drunkard peanuts a lot.

“Meow, meow~” Ugly Duckling walked over and meowed impatiently.

“I want to try this pig ears salad.” Amy picked up a piece of pig ear.

In the middle of the thin pig ear was a white tendon. It was coated with a layer of red oil and a dash of sesame seeds. Amy put it into her mouth.

Crunch, crunch~

“Wow~ This taste! Superb!”

Amy’s eyes lit up as she chewed happily.
