Tavern in Another Dimension: Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start

The gray fog control operation in Rock City was carried out step by step.

The planting of vegetation greatly alleviated the problems in the city, and the work in the city was also restored in an orderly manner.

The air purifier made by Bart and the others was officially on sale, and all the families in the city with abundant funds had bought one.

Alan and Yupanki took care of the three over-age problematic children of the demon clan while running a small tavern.

Wayne's blacksmith shop finally returned to normal business. Abraham had recently become obsessed with working as a supervisor in the dwarves' yard. He did not know anything, but he loved to stay in the yard and watch.

The Imperial City.

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere in Rock City, the atmosphere in the city was heavy. Even the air became heavy.

The four-man small group led by the first prince had reached an agreement with the angels and the orcs. After paying a huge price, the two races had agreed to help them go to Rock City and kill Alan.

Ever since the fifth prince captured Stanton, he had not made any further moves recently.

The army under his command was moving towards the capital. Anyone could see his ambition.

Olivia had been a little anxious recently. Things seemed to have gone beyond her expectations.

Stanton's disappearance was a very dangerous signal to her.

Olivia did not even know when he disappeared. It seemed that by the time she reacted, Stanton had not come to look for her for seven days.

She sent other people out to look for him, but they could not find him anywhere.

"Your Highness, we found that after Stanton left your residence last time, he seemed to go directly to the fifth prince's residence."

The guard bowed and reported to Olivia.

"That means it's possible that he was near the fifth prince's residence before he went missing, right?"

Olivia came to a realization. She should have guessed it long ago.

The conversation that day just happened to mention that they were going to monitor the situation in the fifth prince's residence. As expected, Stanton chose to go by himself.

"Yes, Your Highness. This is the most likely place where Stanton went missing after our investigation." The guard replied respectfully.

Olivia pondered for a long time. She had a strong premonition that there was something dangerous in the fifth prince's mansion.

However, it was highly likely that her chief knight had been captured and brought inside. She did not know how long it had been until now.

"Gather a small team of people and explore the fifth prince's mansion tonight. See if there are any discoveries."

Olivia's expression was heavy. Losing Stanton was a great loss to her.

After receiving the order, the guards retreated to prepare for the operation at night.

...

That night, the moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire capital.

For Olivia, tonight was a sleepless night.

According to her instructions, the small team that was investigating should be back soon. Olivia silently counting the time.

From midnight until the sky turned white, there was only one seriously injured guard who fell into the backyard.

"Cynthia, come quickly. Do the emergency treatment first."

Olivia frowned and looked at the guard who fell to the ground. She quickly went forward to help him.

Only one seriously injured person was left in the team that she sent out.

Cynthia was about to go up and give emergency treatment to that person, but he refused.

"Your Highness, Lord Stanton is in the fifth Prince's residence... the situation is not good."

"There are... very strong people in the fifth prince's residence..."

It seemed that there was still information to be said, and the guard completely lost his breath.

After hearing this, Olivia fell into deep thought.

Cynthia saw that the princess was thinking about something, so she did not disturb her.

She removed the guard's hand that was covering his neck. At this moment, his wound was exposed.

"Ghoul?"

After observing carefully for a while, Cynthia cried out in surprise.

After hearing her cry, Olivia turned her attention to the corpse.

"Cynthia, are you sure?"

Cynthia, who was still squatting on the ground to observe the wound, nodded firmly.

Olivia could no longer think calmly at this time. She thought for a moment and immediately went back to her room. She picked up a pen and told the whole situation. She also asked Yupanki to get help from Alan.

The emergency request this time was not done by using the eagle method. After all, Grimm had not returned to the princess's side yet.

In order to transmit the news as quickly as possible, Olivia activated the spatial magic array so that Yupanki could receive the news as soon as possible.

With the activation of magic, the letter could be sent to the governor's mansion of Rock City in an instant.

Coincidentally, the governor and the administrative officer planned to get off work early and go to the tavern to drink. They could deliver the letter to Yupanki.

At night, in the tavern.

Yupanki received the letter from Kramer with a frown. Grimm was still waiting for his summons outside Rock City. Now, another letter was sent to him, it must be something urgent. Otherwise, there would not be any new news at this time.

Yupanki was in a corner, avoiding the probing gazes of others. He opened the letter and carefully read the information on it.

"Yupanki, what's wrong?"

Alan could not help but ask when he saw that Yupanki's face was full of worry after reading the letter.

"Alan, something has happened to the princess."

Yupanki said with a serious expression.

Alan could tell from his expression that the matter this time was very serious.

"Follow me to the backyard."

Alan left the matter of the tavern behind and asked Yupanki to follow him to the backyard to explain the matter in detail.

"Um, can Mr. Wayne come with us?"

When Yupanki mentioned this name, it made people inexplicably feel that he was a little shy.

Wayne looked puzzled and a little surprised. Why was there still his own matter?

The three of them came to the backyard of the tavern, and Yupanki closed the back door.

"Yupanki, tell me, what did the letter say that made you so nervous?"

Alan asked directly. He was still very worried about Olivia's current situation.

"Her Highness requests for help."

Yupanki spoke of the matter slowly with a solemn expression.

"Stanton was captured. The situation is not good. Her Highness sent people to infiltrate the investigation last night, but only one person escaped back to the princess's residence with serious injuries. He risked his life to bring back the news. Unfortunately, before he finished his words, he was gone."

When Yupanki said this, his face was full of regret.

Alan was about to ask something, but he was interrupted by Yupanki. He continued to speak.

"Actually, the news that the guard brought back is not the most important. The wound that caused the death of the guard is the most important part. There were two teeth marks on his neck."

Yupanki's brows were tightly furrowed, and his gaze swept back and forth between Wayne and Alan.

"Her Highness has guessed that there are ghouls in the fifth Prince's residence!"

"The wound on the guard's neck is the best proof. Stanton is not weak in the Imperial City, and he would not be defeated easily. Other than the strange and mysterious ghoul race that has such an ability, I can't think of any other race that has such an ability."

Yupanki stopped at this point, and his gaze fell on Wayne.

Alan was deep in thought, and Wayne looked surprised.

Ghouls.

This reminded Wayne of some bad things.

The young him was not strong, but fortunately, he had a good captain. He had always helped him and taken care of him, not only for his training, but also for his daily life.

It could be said that without his captain, he would not have been there.

Unfortunately, the captain had been captured and tortured to death by the ghouls during a mission. When he found the captain, all he saw was his shriveled corpse due to excessive blood loss.

From then on, Wayne had made up his mind that he would hunt down the ghouls!

Yupanki waited for Wayne to come back to his senses, then he continued, "Her Highness suddenly sent a letter this time, asking for help. She hopes Mr. Wayne can go to the Imperial City and help her to fight against this ghoul man."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wayne with anticipation, waiting for his reply.
