NOVEL NEXT Chapter 96: The Return of Orina
Sofia looked much more energetic. At least after a night of recuperation, she no longer looked weak.
"Sofia, are you feeling better? I didn't expect that Abraham would call you here in such a hurry."
Alan's words were a little resentful of Abraham's recklessness.
"It's okay. He hurriedly asked me to come to the tavern and said that you were looking for me urgently. What's the matter?"
Sofia looked at the scene in the tavern. It did not seem like anything had happened. Similarly, she was very pleased with Alan's concern, and her expression softened quite a bit.
"Eh, nothing. Actually, this matter isn't very urgent. It's fine to talk about it after you've recovered."
Alan finally understood. Abraham was in a hurry to solve the problem of the gray fog, so he had sent a fake message to Sofia.
Alan looked at Abraham with slight resentment.
He just smiled at Alan in embarrassment.
"Forget it. Since you're here, let's talk about the matter. After all, the gray fog outside has quite a big impact."
Hearing Alan's words, Sofia also became energetic. With this layer of gray fog, her business in the tavern was in a mess.
Every day, many customers would fight over a small matter, which made her tired and busy to solve the customers' conflicts.
"Are you saying that you have found a way to solve the gray fog outside?" Sofia said in surprise.
"Yes, I have a way, but I need to make some things. It will take some time, but I want to ask the elves to help me with a support job."
Alan paused and took a small bag of tree seeds in front of Shaman.
"This is a supplementary tool before the machine is made."
Alan handed the bag to Sofia.
"These are seeds?" Sofia asked in confusion.
"Yes, seeds!"
Alan told her about the use of the seeds and how to plant it. Sofia was amazed by them.
"Although we elves do have a special ability to accelerate the growth of plants, I have never seen a plant like the one you mentioned."
Sofia carefully observed the seed in the small bag in her hand.
"This type of plant is indeed quite magical. Whether it's a tree or a shrub, it's very easy to accelerate the growth of plants. There's no need to mention grass seeds. Simply sprinkle them on the ground and cast an acceleration spell on them, and they'll grow in an instant."
Alan looked slightly proud. This was the advanced item rewarded by the system. How could it not be amazing?
"Alright, I'll help you with this. I'll bring the seeds back and try to plant the seeds. You can use the nutrient solution after you've confirmed that it can be replicated. After all, I can't let you pay for it alone."
Sofia took all the seeds on the table.
Grandpa Babor took Bart and the two blueprints that Alan had given to him. After saying goodbye in a hurry, he left the tavern.
In the end, Wayne hesitated for a long time, but he still confessed to Alan.
"Little Alan, the blueprints for this arcade are indeed quite complicated. It's very difficult for me. You said that it would be completed within ten days, so I might not be able to do it..."
Wayne looked at Alan with a face full of guilt.
"Uncle, you don't have to be embarrassed. This thing is indeed very complicated. Besides, you're not a professional manufacturer. I didn't think it through and caused you trouble."
Alan also felt that he had not considered it properly. After all, it was indeed very difficult to create such a complicated machine in ten days.
At this moment, Shaman holding the nutrient solution suddenly said.
"Alan, can I try this arcade machine?"
Alan turned to look at Shaman and asked, "But you still have to analyze the formula of the nutrient solution. Is there enough time?"
Shaman smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's very easy to analyze a potion that has already been made. It won't affect my production of the arcade machine. I'll try my best to complete it in ten days."
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Alan handed the blueprint to him. Shaman had the profound knowledge and skill, he might be the perfect candidate for completing the arcade.
Every talents had their own specialties, Wayne was still more suitable for training.
Everyone found a suitable job in Alan's hands and went back with the blueprint and materials.
This time, the main character, Abraham became the one with the most free time. Seeing everyone leave the tavern with the mission, he felt a little guilty.
Wayne and Dorje had nothing else to do and went back. After all, the battle the day before had exhausted them, and they all needed a good rest.
After everyone left, the tavern opened as usual, even though the opening time was delayed.
The night before, a graceful figure passed through the forest at high speed.
Looking at her direction, she was heading straight for Rock City. No obstacles along the way could stop her for even a second.
In her heart, there was only worry for Alan.
Orina blamed herself for her carelessness. After all, the appearance of Abraham and Xiaohei was already a signal.
She carelessly returned to the Elven Forest. More importantly, during the month of patrolling the spatial node, she did not notice anything wrong at all.
If she had discovered the Abyss's conspiracy earlier, perhaps she would have been by Alan's side, protecting him.
Along the way, she was as fast as lightning. Her mind was full of thoughts, and she became more worried.
Finally, in the afternoon, she saw the city gate of Rock City. She found that there was nothing unusual near the city gate, as if nothing had happened.
However, the gray fog in the sky became thicker and lower as they passed through the forest. When she reached Rock City, the gray fog had already surrounded her.
She followed the crowd into the city. Because of the Elf Tavern in the city, the elves didn't need to be checked when they entered Rock City. Soon, Orina entered the city.
On the streets, she heard many people talking about what happened last night, including the lighting ceremony, the Abyss, the demons, Alan, and the tavern.
While Orina was extremely nervous, she was also very confused.
She didn't understand the current situation, so she didn't go back to the Elf Tavern first. Instead, she went straight to the tavern to find Alan.
While she was away from Rock City, the city had undergone a lot of changes. There were many things on the streets that she had never seen before.
Those strange-looking things were glowing. Standing near them, the gray fog did not block her sight at all.
With a belly full of doubts, Orina came to the front of the tavern.
Everything was as usual in the tavern. It was still as lively as before. There was also a strange "hualala" sound, accompanied by the shouts of many people who were talking loudly.
Orina lifted her leg and entered the bar. She saw Alan, who was lying on the bar counter pretending to be a dead fish. Beside him was a black cat in the same position as him.
Orina became angry at the sight of the cat.
"Da da da..."
Orina strode forward with her long legs, stomping on the ground with every step she took. She walked towards the bar counter aggressively.
The old customers all knew that this extremely beautiful elven lady was Little Alan's girlfriend.
Every once in a while, she would disappear from the bar and return after a period of time. Everyone had many guesses about this, but none of them had been confirmed.
Seeing the beautiful elven lady angrily walk towards Alan, everyone was waiting to watch a good show. With just one look, it was obvious that the couple was quarreling.
"Bang --"
A slender, fair and delicate little hand slammed heavily on the bar counter.
Alan was so frightened that he quivered and instantly recovered from his previous fugue state. He saw that it was actually Orina.
"Orina! Why did you come back?" Alan asked loudly in surprise.
The hair all over Ai Xiaohei's body instantly stood on end, as if she was facing a great enemy. An electric current flowed from the top of her head to the tip of her tail, and a strong sense of danger emerged in her heart.
The alarm bells in her heart rang loudly, and she was screaming wildly, "My mortal enemy is here!"
