"This is for you. I like guests like you."
Seeing Jenkins puzzled, the bartender said with a smile.
"Oh, that's very much appreciated."
The complimentary drink was not water, and the bartender was not so stingy. Jenkins tasted some carefully and felt that the taste was quite good.
Even the chocolate poked his head out for a piece of it, but the cup was so small that Jenkins drank it in one gulp.
The cat yelped in dissatisfaction.
After drinking that cup, amid the melodious music, sleepiness gradually rose. The eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and even though he was talking with his companions, his consciousness sank irrevocably.
Julia took another sip of the juice, a little surprised that Jenkins didn't answer her immediately. Looking forward, the man had already fallen asleep on the table.
"Mr. Williams should have a lot of troubles, after all, he has to face so many dangerous things."
Instead of waking Jenkins, she let him sleep peacefully. Suddenly thinking of what kind of expression and actions her Highness would have seen if she was here, a gentle smile appeared on Julia's face.
Dreams are the most bizarre things, and once again Jenkins was caught in a dream, this time unaware that he was dreaming. This is quite an unusual thing, after all, he can even feel that the protoss is pulling him to the astral world in his dream.
"Yo~ are you all here?"
Standing at the table in the tavern, Jenkins, the warrior holding the legendary sword, asked.
The bard Hathaway held her harp and looked at him tenderly; the little priest, Fini, was holding the hem of the cassock nervously, but her face was full of determination; the wizard Alexia held the sky-blue Rubik's Cube , runes shuttled inside; the archer Stuart held the ice longbow, eager to start the adventure.
There is also the lazy cat on the table, which is actually Druid Chocolate. A team of five people and one cat are going to kill the dragon in the mountain together.
They encountered many dangers along the way, but the six of them worked together to solve them together. There were cheers when Jenkins' sword finally fell into the dragon's throat.
At this time, he had already realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Everyone surrounded him and walked into the dragon's lair, crossed the gold coins all over the floor and the cage where the princess was held, and saw the treasure chest lying in the deepest part.
"Go."
Everyone said together.
Jenkins walked forward quickly, and lifted the lid of the treasure chest studded with gems, only to see a note lying inside. He took out the note and found that it was an incomprehensible text. The text presents a slender strip, like slender green leaves or blades of grass, or tightly entwined vines.
"Meow~"
Druid Chocolate reminded that because Warrior Jenkins also has elven blood, he can understand his words.
"Oh, by the way, I am a descendant of pure-blood elves, this is Elvish!"
He suddenly realized this, and read the text on the note:
[Player (White Base)]
"Ability? I'm not dreaming... It seems to be a dream."
As if a basin of cold water was poured from the top of the head, the whole person suddenly became sober. Everything began to crumble in front of him, and his friends waved him goodbye. At the end of the broken dream, there is a towering giant tree...
He opened his eyes and got up from the table, staring blankly at Julia sitting in front of him.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Half an hour. Have you had a bad dream, Mr. Williams, you look very ugly."
The maid subconsciously wanted to find a towel to wipe him off, but only then did she remember that this was a tavern.
"I, I, I had a strange dream. Yes, I remembered, there was something wrong with the drink just now, the drink given by the bartender!"
I got up and went to the bartender to settle the account, but was stopped by Julia. She asked a little strangely:
"Sorry, but what exactly are you referring to? Did the bartender offer a drink?"
"Um?"
There were only four cups on the table, which were left over from two orders. Then he raised his head and looked at the bartender at the bar. Where was the middle-aged man, he was clearly a gray-haired old man. Seeing Jenkins looking over, he nodded politely to him.
"Oh, sage~"
He groaned, calling out the ability spot, and [Player (White Foundation)] was in sight.
According to the observation of the real eye, the old bartender in front of him is an ordinary person at all, and the middle-aged bartender Jenkins has been seeing just now has nothing to do with him.
"Sorry, I think I've run into some trouble."
He picked up the wine glass with some melancholy, and drank the juice in it.
"No, maybe trouble isn't the right word either."
He added, before Julia asked. Instead of suffering a loss, he gained an ability for nothing.
Unable to understand what happened just now, he could only take his cat to bid farewell to Julia, and then returned to the steam train that was still running at high speed. Julia stared blankly at Jenkins' empty seat for a while, then put on her cloak again and stepped into the deep snowy night.
The movement of the old bartender to clean the glass did not stop until Julia had completely disappeared. He looked at the young musician who was still talking about the harp by the wall.
The musician didn't walk to the stage until he finished talking about the piece, and the bartender gave him a glass of white water.
"Those eyes are indeed powerful. If it weren't for the blessing of the great Lord, I would definitely be exposed in front of him."
Le Zhe complained softly, "I didn't expect that the task of coming to the material world this time would be so complicated. Also, what is the cat next to him? I feel that it has found me."
"I don't know anything, I'm just an ordinary human bartender, I have nothing to do with you pointy ears."
The old man smiled and changed a glass to wipe, and the musician parted his hair to reveal his pair of pointed ears, but the other humans in the tavern didn't notice it at all.
"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't inquire about it either. But is that all right? Just send that ability."
"Okay, your mission has been completed. Before returning to your hometown, you can enjoy a vacation in the human world, but don't cause trouble for me."
"Okay, I see, it's easy."
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other at the same time, and then drew the sacred emblem on their chests:
"May the Lord of Flowers bless you forever."
The train quickly returned to Nolan City with a group of tired travelers, breathing the familiar dirty air, which Jenkins still missed.
He awkwardly hugged and said goodbye to Britney, Hathaway and Miss Lawrence in front of the train station, and stood in front of the streetlight at the station entrance with the box, watching the carriage carrying them disappear into the night. Only then did he turn around and leave, and board the church convoy that greeted him at the next intersection.
