"Time to eat."
Burton brought out a huge stack of breakfast from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table, around which Kane and the others were seated.
Longbei turned his head and shouted to his mother, "Mom, it's time to eat."
Danfoss was controlling various cleaning utensils to tidy up the whole room, humming a tune that was hard to understand, and dancing along as she cleaned. It was clear that she was in a very good mood.
"Oh~ Mom is coming, my darling son."
Burton, who was bringing out dishes from the kitchen, listened to his mom's words and rolled his eyes helplessly.
Yesterday.
Longbei's mother took Longbei out for a boastful display and only returned in the evening.
While eating breakfast at the table, Kreya suddenly asked, "Have we been delayed for so long? Is Amis's team still waiting for us?"
"I don't know about that. I'll have to check their place here to know for sure. If they are still waiting for us, it would be quite embarrassing." Kane said, his voice muffled as he took a bite of the food in his hand.
Upon hearing Kane's words, Lilu flickered and appeared on his shoulder, patting his neck: "Lilu wants to go too, Lilu wants to find Philis."
"Alright, alright, I'll take you. Get down from my shoulder, you've smeared cream all over my neck. Ah, now the juice is dripping too."
"Hehe, Lilu will wipe it for you."
After breakfast, Longbei pulled Burton towards the training field at the back of their house. He seemed confident, eager to give Burton a good lesson.
"Come here, Burton, see the results of my training! This time, I'm going to knock your teeth out!"
"Oh ho ho ho! The failed second fiddle Longbei, wanting to challenge his brother, come on! This time I'll give you a bump that'll last a month!"
And so, the two brothers with almost a 500-year age gap, like little children, shoved each other as they headed to the training field.
Meizike greeted Kane and then returned to his room, ready to experiment with the enhancement potion skill.
At this time, Kreya changed into a new outfit and walked over to Kane: "Let's go, I'll go with you two."
"Really? Then let's go." Hearing that Kreya was willing to accompany him, Kane happily pulled her and they headed out.
"Wait for me, Lilu." Lilu flashed and appeared on Kreya's shoulder, hugging her neck.
The festival atmosphere on the street had long passed.
A few aliens were still walking on the streets of Furnace Castle, no longer like the time during the beer festival when tourists of all kinds came in droves.
Along the way, Kane saw many battle group and guild outposts.
If he remembered correctly, there weren't that many before, how come it seemed like they suddenly popped up, increasing three or four times compared to before?
"Hey! Did you hear?"
"Heard it, heard it."
"I didn't expect the youngest son of Elder Danfoss to become a Mist Warrior."
"Yeah, I heard he's only 150 years old, still a young lad."
"What? Do you want your daughter to marry him?"
"Oh ho ho, my daughter isn't that lucky."
Kane and the others heard many people talking about Longbei becoming a Mist Warrior.
Just as Burton predicted, the whole town would know this news in no time.
He knew his family's character all too well.
"Here it is, Amis told me they'd wait for us here."
Hearing Kane's words, Kreya looked up; it was a building that was both a tavern and an inn.
"Smash the Wine Barrel, Party Hard"
What a weird name!
Although the names of various taverns and inns in this other world were a bit odd, this could be counted as the strangest one Kane had ever seen.
As soon as they pushed open the tavern door, a massive loud noise hit them.
It seemed like the door was enchanted with soundproofing magic.
Various loud dwarf voices could be heard.
"Keep drinking, keep drinking."
"Come on, you lousy wine barrel, let's see if I don't drink you under the table today and cut off your beard."
"What? You want to cut off my beard?"
With that, the two somewhat drunken dwarves started grappling with each other.
"Hit him, go on, why pull his beard? Hit him in the eye."
"Yeah, that's it, punch him on the chin."
Seeing the two grappling, the surrounding drunkards were cheering on, not shying away from trouble.
At this time a large figure squeezed through the crowd.
It was a muscular humanoid creature over two meters tall with a massive beer belly.
With his two strong and large arms, he directly separated the two grappling dwarves, then carried them towards Kane and his group.
The drunks, left without a good show, booed, then turned back to their drinks.
"You lousy wine barrels, if you can't drink, don't drink, it's embarrassing."
Passing by Kane and his group, he gave them a friendly smile: "Sorry, new customers, for making you witness this. Let me deal with these two before serving you."
With that, he walked to the tavern door, opened it, threw out the dwarves he was carrying one by one, and then shut the door heavily.
"Oh~ my tavern hasn't seen new faces in a while, and look, another little fellow who can't drink."
The large figure looked at Kane and the others, then spotted Lilu on Kreya's shoulder and began speaking.
Feeling belittled, Lilu was instantly unhappy, waving her fists and saying: "You dare underestimate Lilu! Lilu can drink as much as she wants!"
Hearing Lilu's words, Kane couldn't help but turn his head and roll his eyes.
Sure, you can drink a lot, but you'll secretly turn the beer into juice or soda, and shrink them, too.
Lilu's peculiar magic always had peculiar effectiveness in curious ways.
Especially in life's trivialities and playful cheating - it's extraordinarily effective.
The three of them followed the owner to the bar counter of the tavern.
"Let me introduce myself; I'm the owner of this tavern, Kopis Gas, but those who know me call me Wine Barrel. You can call me Wine Barrel too."
"Kane"
Kane reached out and shook hands with Wine Barrel.
Wine Barrel chuckled and said: "You don't seem to be here for drinks, are you looking for someone?"
"Yes, we're looking for a team with a pixie and an elf. Their leader is a woman with antelope horns on her head."
After hearing Kane's words, Wine Barrel pointed to the entrance: "Look, they're already back."
