She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 70: Acquaintance bartender.

“New boss?” The bartender looked a little inexplicable and looked at Alice carefully.

Then, he stopped his work and asked in a very suspicious and uncertain tone:

“Are you… Alice?”

Alice’s name was never reported, but she was called out by a bartender unexpectedly in the east side where she had never been before. This made her all over her body, rubbing her eyes quickly, paying attention to the bartender’s face.

The face of the bartender had been hidden in the shadows, and he couldn’t see clearly. At this moment, he walked to a place with light, and Alice could see his face clearly. Alice covered her mouth and screamed in a low voice:

“Gosh! You are Hewlett!”

Alice never dreamed that there would be such a coincidence in the world. On the first day she came to the east, she ran into her boss when she was a waitress in a tavern.

In a few years, Hewlett’s appearance has changed somewhat. You can tell from his face that he has probably not been doing very well recently. Although he didn’t look very energetic when he was in Potzta, he is now thinner than then. There are a pair of huge dark circles around his eyes. It seems that he hasn’t slept well recently. .

“I will treat you with this glass of yours,” Hewlett smiled, and pointed to Corimo, who was sitting aside, “but that guy still has to pay for the alcohol.”

“Ah, it’s okay.” Alice took out the silver coin and placed it on the table. “Are you not the boss here?”

“No, it’s just the bartender.” Hewlett sighed a little and got Alice’s change back. “It’s not easy to open a tavern in the east, not to mention that I didn’t have any principal. All the way here, almost all used up.”

Alice nodded clearly, and didn’t ask any more. Just look at his face and you know that many things don’t have to be asked so clearly.

But besides that, she still wanted to ask him, for example, where did Lena go.

After leaving Podzta City, the person Alice missed the most was Lena. During the time she worked in the tavern, it would have been very difficult without Lena’s care. Not long after she lost her mother at that time, Lena was like a mother in some ways, caring for her very tenderly. Although Lena wasn’t actually that old, Alice felt that she was like her own mother.

Alice wanted to mention Lena, but she was a little afraid to ask. When Hewlett was forced to close the store, everyone thought he and Lena were unlikely to go together. Maybe now he doesn’t even know where Lena is. Even if he knew, Alice was afraid that after seeing Lena, she would find that she had lost her original vitality and smile. Alice felt that if Lena looked as pale and tired as Hewlett, she was afraid she would collapse.

Coremo looked at the scene in surprise and couldn’t help but interrupt:

“Ah, I knew you were an acquaintance of Hewlett…”

Alice glanced at him, and he closed his mouth in a hesitant manner, took the wine Hewlett poured him, and walked aside, leaving a little room for Alice and Hewlett to talk.

“This guy listens to you.” Hewlett glanced at Coremore in an unbelievable way, then turned back to Alice, “So… why are you here? How come you have become Coremore’s boss again. I remember you left with that mercenary Roma.”

Alice was somewhat embarrassed when she remembered that Hewlett had seen all of her just like that.

“Slightly… something.” Alice replied vaguely. Seeing Hewlett’s uncertain eyes, she added another sentence, “This guy and I are not the same, I’m going to Master Flamel Tower, just find this guy to show me the way.”

“It’s not a good idea to hire Corey as a guide.” Hewlett couldn’t help but remind her in a low voice, “Be careful.”

Hearing this, Alice was actually relieved.

Although it was in such a place to meet again, even though he hadn’t seen it for so long, Hewlett was still the same as before, always so soft-hearted.

He should know that there is a risk to remind her of this kind of thing here.

“It’s okay, I know he is a cheating artist.” Alice said, “I have a way to get him.”

Hewlett did not comment, his gaze shifted from the great sword carried on Alice’s back to her head, and Alice’s signature red hair was particularly eye-catching in the tavern.

In the east, no one does not know the red hair of the Flamel family.

“Are you going to the mage tower to find your family?” Hewlett asked. “When I was in Potzta, who could have imagined it. The orphan girl without parents came from the most powerful magician family in the east.”

Alice knew he had misunderstood. But such a mistake would be quite convenient for her, and… it can’t be said that his guess was completely wrong.

“Almost.” Alice said, “I have always wanted to know what kind of person my father is.”

Although these words were somewhat perfunctory, when she said this, she suddenly felt a little sour in her nose, as if the words had touched a switch in her body. She took a big sip of light ale, suppressing the sudden feeling.

“Anyway, I’m so happy to see you.” Hewlett summed up, and his face became better. “When I saw you go with the mercenary, I was a little bit worried about whether you could survive. But now Judging from the situation, I probably had to worry too much before, and you seem to be doing pretty well.”

If it weren’t for such a place, Alice would want to say a little more to Hewlett, telling him how she became a knight from a mercenary to a duke. But there were too many people in the tavern, and Alice didn’t want to rant about her identity. And she won’t stay here too long, Alice felt that she should still ask Lena about it, or she would regret it.

“Do you know where Lena is?”

“She’s here too, doing miscellaneous tasks for a mage.” Hewlett’s face became a little gloomy when he said this, “She hasn’t been here for a while.”

Looking at Hewlett’s expression, Alice realized that she seemed to misunderstand his state of existence. This guy may not be particularly short of money or something. The main reason for his dark eye circles may be…Lina?

Alice can probably think of the way the two of them spent time together in the tavern. At that time, the two of them were probably not really together, but Hewlett’s affection for Lena can be seen by everyone. In comparison, Lena was more or less moved by him before being with him. In short, between the two, Hewlett was obviously a bit weak.

Alice wanted to ask what was going on, but the atmosphere at the moment was really not suitable for talking about it. At this moment, she caught a glimpse of Corimo sitting at the table in the corner, winking at her, obviously there was something to say.

Alice raised her glass to Hewlett, stood up, changed position and sat down opposite Corimo:

“Is there a problem?”

“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop,” Corimo said to her, “but I did hear a little bit of the conversation between you just inadvertently…”

Alice glanced at him.

“Well, I did try to listen with my ears upright,” he changed. “But that’s not the point. What I want to say is that I know what’s going on with Hewlett, and I know his girlfriend Li What’s the matter with Na…Do you want to hear it?”

Alice raised her head at him and motioned to him to speak quickly. Corimo smiled and shook his glass at Alice. There was no wine in the glass, only the ice cubes were screaming:

“Today I stood under the big sun all day, but I was too thirsty.”

Alice asked Hewlett to pour a glass of wine for Corey Mo. Corey poured ale and sighed comfortably. He watched Hewlett return to the bar, and then threw it to Alice who was waiting. A conclusion:

“He was indeed dumped.”

Coremo cleared his throat and continued:

“I have known Hewlett for several years. Although I have not known his girlfriend Lena for so long, I have probably met several times in these years. They are both sweet and sweet most of the time, but Hewlett is a bartender. The money made is too little, probably because of this reason, the two of them seem to have not made up their minds to formally be together…”

Coremo took another sip of wine and continued to tell his observations:

“The relationship between the two of them has always been good, but in the past year, Lena got a job as an independent mage. After that, there were frequent frictions between the two… In short, almost a month ago, they It seemed that there was another big fight, and then… Hewlett became like this.”

Well, judging from this description, it seems that he is indeed broken in love.

Alice turned her head to look at Hewlett, his desperate appearance was so pitiful.

If it was something else, Alice might still be able to help. But it’s better not to get involved in emotional matters first. Alice and Corimo finished drinking together, leaving Hewlett a double tip, and walked out of the tavern together.

Corimo drank two glasses of wine and talked about Hewlett’s gossip. He finally recovered a little bit of energy, no longer the prostration that was just now. When he was in the tavern, he carefully observed the size of Alice’s purse and concluded that his new boss, although he hated being cheated, was indeed rich, and then made up his mind to please Alice as much as possible and try to serve her as much as possible. So that she can take the initiative to take out a little more money from her purse:

“Boss, where are we going next? I’m very familiar with all the hotels around here, and I promise to get you the best price. Do you want to stay at the Beatrice Hotel for the most distinguished guests? Me and The people there are very familiar, so they can prepare the most advanced suites.”

Corimo does have contacts with several nearby hotels, and can get quite favorable prices. Normally, if he takes the “fat sheep” to live, of course he has to take all the discounts and commissions into his pocket, but this time he is bound by the ring, and if he takes the Alice ribbon, he can only receive a small commission. Normally, he doesn’t like the commission given by the hotel, but now and then, now Corimo feels that it is not bad to have a commission.

It’s a pity that his boss is really not the kind of rich man he imagined. Alice dispelled all his expectations for this trip with just one sentence:

“It’s too expensive to stay in a hotel. Your place is nearby, right? We will stay at your house tonight.”
