Chapter 54 - The Harvest Festival (4)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Morad came for the wine this morning, Alan did not lock the door because he thought it was too troublesome.

Now, it allowed this uninvited guest to take advantage of.

The black cat walked gracefully to the door of the wine cellar. When it came to the door, it took a deep breath of the fragrance coming through the crack of the door. It wagged its tail, and its emerald-like big eyes were half closed in enjoyment.

It squeezed through the crack of the door and jumped onto the wine barrels one by one. Along the way, the strong wine fragrance assaulted its nose.

As it walked, it suddenly stopped and took a deep breath at the wine barrel under its body.

It suddenly widened its eyes, and its face was full of excitement. Then it found the switch on the wine barrel and opened it. After opening it, wine rushed out and flowed all over the floor.

The black cat was shocked and quickly turned the switch down. Then it opened its mouth and drank the wine flowing out, gulping everything down.

Alan’s label on the wine barrel was “100-year-old high-level magic Lafite”.

The black cat drank more and more. It did not realize that as it drank, its size was changing, sometimes bigger and sometimes smaller.

If a mage saw this, he would cry out in surprise. It had been a long time since a demon beast appeared in the human world. This seemingly unremarkable black cat could freely change its size, this was an innate ability that only a demon beast with great potential could do.

If it was Abraham who saw this, he would only say in disdain, “Isn’t that just a worthless piece of trash who only knows how to change its size and can’t attack anything ?”

After drinking for an unknown period, the black cat’s size finally stabilized at three meters tall eight meters long.

The high-level magic Lafite in the wine barrel also stopped flowing out. It finally could not resist its drunkenness. It tilted its head, and with a heavy thud, fell to the ground and passed out.

As its body continued to rise and fall, a faint trace of black magic power emerged from his nose and floated in the air.

…

On the other side, in the central square.

After Alan and Orina ate their fill, they sat side by side under the parasol, feeling sleepy. They each had a glass of Lafite by their hands, and they were chatting casually. Their drowsiness was miraculously synchronized.

Sophia caught this scene when she came over to have a drink.

The elven lady’s face was filled with anger. She raised her eyebrows and her entire body was emitting freezing ice magic.

Just as she was about to go up and make things difficult for Alan, she suddenly seemed to remember something. The magic power on her body froze and instantly dissipated. The remaining anger on her face did not disappear, but there was a hint of sadness.

She took a deep look at the young man who was leaning against the chair and steeled her heart. She turned around and left the square, returning to the competition venue to continue being a judge.

When Wayne and Abraham rushed to the Ironman Triathlon venue, everyone was already prepared to start the competition.

The first competition was the two-person three-legged obstacle race, which required a partner.

Wayne made detailed plans for these three competitions, but he never expected that the two of them was a combination of bad luck.

From failing to cross-dress as a woman earlier in the morning to failing to pretend to be a family of three to participate in the family competition when they were exposed by Knapp and Amorim…

Wayne was furious, but he could not do anything about it. He felt strange. Why was nothing going well today? No matter what he planned, his friends would come and mess it up.

But this was a fair competition. If his plan was interrupted again, it would be Abraham’s fault! Wayne ranted fiercely in his heart.

“Couldn’t you walk faster!”

After the obstacle race ended, Wayne and Abraham complained to each other in the corner.

“If you listened to my instructions earlier, you wouldn’t have been so slow in the beginning. Then how could we have lost?!”

Abraham didn’t want to be outdone.

“What? Isn’t this the Wayne who said that he would be the victor? How do you still have time to quarrel?”

While the two of them were quarreling, another annoying voice came from the side. The two of them turned their heads and saw that the one who spoke was Knapp, followed by their old drinking buddies.

“Knapp, you old kid, if you hadn’t ruined my plan, I would have won!”

Wayne was full of anger when he saw the four of them.

Even Abraham was furious. After all, if these guys hadn’t ruined things, the two of them would have already won two competitions.

“You’d better be careful. We definitely won’t lose this time!”Abraham said angrily to them.

The referees didn’t give them more time to argue. Soon, they signaled that the shooting competition was about to begin.

As time passed, the Ironman Triathlon ended.

Wayne and Abraham, regretfully, didn’t enter the top three in any event.

During the shooting competition, a gust of wind suddenly blew through the venue. They both released their arrows the moment their visions were clouded by the wind. Without a doubt, they missed the target.

During the arm wrestling event, unfortunately, they were placed against each other.

The two of them didn’t determine a winner within the stipulated time so both were eliminated.

After all the competitions ended, the two of them sat side by side under the fountain as if they had lost their parents.

They looked at each other and did not say anything else.

No matter how hard they tried, they could not figure out what went wrong. Why were they so unlucky?

“Sigh…”

Unlike two unlucky fellows, Dorje, who won the match, was somewhat pleased with himself.

As night fell, Rock City, which was bustling the whole day, did not show any signs of fatigue.

Everyone was still bustling around the central square and the main street.

The venue for the drinking competition was set up. After the dejected duo encouraged each other, they regrouped again.

They looked at each other and silently encouraged each other. They had to win this round!

Unfortunately, the goddess of luck did not favor them today.

The champion of the drinking competition was a dwarf who just arrived at Rock City at dusk.

Just like that, the Harvest Festival for the two unlucky fellows ended. Alan had no idea about their exciting day.

If he knew that his reward would make the two of them work so hard, he probably would be confused.

After all, if he was going to release a new drink, how could he not let them try it in advance?

After the drinking competition ended, the venue instantly turned into a ball.

This was the last event of the Harvest Festival.

Alan and Orina spent the whole day together, just like an ordinary couple. There was no queen today and no age difference.

They played childish games together, ate food that some unknown family made, and lingered with the crowd basking in the sun relaxing.

They didn’t always have topics to talk about throughout the day, they just casually chatted, but there wasn’t any awkwardness between them.

“My beautiful lady, may I have the honor to invite you to dance the first dance tonight with me?”

Alan smoothed out his clothes that were a little wrinkled from the day. He bowed slightly, his left hand behind his back and his right hand stretched towards her.

Orina looked at the young man in front of her who was sincerely inviting her to dance. The scene in front of her overlapped with the scene when they first met. That night, the young man who pretended to be an adult gradually entered her heart.

She smiled and gently put her right hand on his as she replied.

“I’ll allow you to dance with me for an entire night because of your hard work today.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. With elegant steps, they entered the dance floor.

In the self-service area, Wayne and Abraham worked for an entire day but got nothing.

They held the whiskey barrel and sat in a corner, drinking one glass after another. Their crestfallen expressions scared the surrounding waiters away.

They didn’t know what triggered them, but they suddenly threw their glasses away.

“Wah…” they hugged their heads and cried.

When the people around heard their cries, they couldn’t help but be affected by their grief..
