After a long while, the governor was the first to come back to his senses. He looked at Alan and was pleasantly surprised.
"Can you guarantee a sufficient amount of this Lafite wine?"
When Alan heard the governor's question, he guessed that he would probably have to receive many people.
"Of course, this is just an ordinary wine," Alan replied. "As for the magic Lafite, as long as there aren't too many people, I can provide enough for satisfaction."
The governor recalled that the young man in front of him mentioned that he had a wine that contained magic power. Now that he mentioned it again, it seemed that he really does have it.
"What about the wine that contains magic?" When the governor thought of the wine that contained magic power, he even spoke faster.
Alan pointed at another bottle on the table that was not opened yet. "Do you want to try it now?"
"Of course. You must know that it's rare to taste a wine that contains magic power." The governor's face was full of excitement.
The administrative officer was so shocked that he could not speak. He could only nod repeatedly.
Alan did not waste any more time and directly poured out the magic Lafite wine.
The Lafite he took out this time and the one he gave Orina last time were two different levels of magic Lafite.
The governor impatiently picked up the wine glass and tasted it carefully.
Alan then poured another glass for the administrative officer and motioned for him to try it as well.
After that, the tavern fell into a short period of peace. Seeing that an Archmage and a Grand Mage were all meditating, he could only wait on the side in a daze.
Since Alan already experienced Orina's top-tier magic pressure, the pressure emitting from the two besides him could only make him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ooof..."
"This wine indeed contains magic. It also tastes very good and the effects are very strong." The moment the governor opened his eyes, Alan smiled. Now that he received recognition, his smile became even more radiant.
"In a week, I will be hosting distinguished guests from the Imperial City. When the time comes, I hope that you would have both types of wine prepared." Without wasting any more words, the governor directly expressed his intention to work with him.
Alan had no objections. He agreed to all the requests, stating that he would be able to prepare all of them. The governor only needed to send someone to inform him in advance before they arrived.
After they were done with their official business, the rest of the time was personal free time. The governor and the administrative officer became much more amiable.
They chatted amiably with Alan about his background while enjoying the pleasant feelings brought about by the fine wine.
After they finished the two bottles of wine, they left the tavern with their arms around each other's shoulders.
It was getting dark, leaving Alan alone in the tavern to pass the time.
That night, when the tavern was about to close, Sophia suddenly came to visit.
She looked a little dejected, but there was also a hint of expectation on her face. Two unrelated emotions appeared on her face at the same time, which seemed a little out of place.
Just like her queen, she liked to sit at the bar counter as soon as she arrived. She did not say anything, only asked Alan to give her a bottle of ordinary Lafite.
Alan felt the low pressure around her and did not dare to ask further. He nodded and turned around to get ready.
Then Sophia sat alone and began to drink. She gulped down glass after glass. Alan, who wanted to chat with her, couldn't find the opportunity to open his mouth.
She drank half a bottle of wine before she slowed down her drinking speed.
Alan finally asked in a low voice, "Were you dumped by someone? What happened?"
Sophia glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. "Tsk..." This disdainful cold snort made Alan confused. He did not know what he had done to offend her.
"Hey, I haven't even seen you recently. How did I offend you?" Alan was anxious.
"You're the kind of existence that can offend me without meeting me," Sophia said nonchalantly.
Alan never expected that she would say that. He was caught off guard by her words. Before he could think of a response, he heard Sophia continue.
"Orina went back to the Forest of Elves. She went back because, one, the Imperial City's diplomats are about to arrive at the Elven tribe."
"And two, thanks to you, her magic level that was stagnated for many years has finally shown signs of advancement. This time, she returned to advance and become a Holy Sorcerer."
After saying that, Sophia looked at Alan and continued to drink silently.
She was very conflicted. The relationship between the young man in front of her and her queen was somewhat unusual, but when she thought of what had happened that night, she felt both ashamed and indignant.
Now that the queen returned to the Forest of Elves, the two taverns were business rivals so she should not visit so often.
However, Sophia could not control her heart. She used the excuse that the wine brewed by the young man was too delicious in order to allow her to follow her heart and keep visiting his tavern to drink.
Alan was surprised, but he was happy for Orina. Being able to improve in power was always something to be happy about.
It was a pity that she left in such a hurry that she didn't even come to say goodbye. It might be a long time before they met again.
"I came here today for another thing," Sophia said seriously, "I hope that you can provide a constant shipment of magic Lafite for the elves every month. I will pay the corresponding gold coins."
Alan felt that it was a little sudden, but he thought that it must have been Orina's breakthrough that reminded the elves.
If magic Lafite could loosen the bottleneck of an Archmage's magic, then wouldn't the lower tier mages be able to break through directly by relying on magic Lafite?
Therefore, this was why Sophia came to place a huge order for long-term supply tonight.
Alan thought for a while and replied, "Actually, I can provide three levels of magic Lafite."
"What! ?"Sofia was shocked.
"The wine that I gave Orina that day was only mid-grade. I also have low-grade and high-grade ones." Alan looked at her and scratched his face in embarrassment.
Orina really treated him as a friend, but he did not even bring out the best wine to treat his friend. It was inappropriate.
When Alan was experimenting earlier, he found three most suitable combinations. According to the feedback from Orina, mid-grade wine was effective for an Archmage. Therefore, it was enough to sell only low-grade magic wine.
"Phew..." Sophia took a deep breath. "It seems that the elves need to re-evaluate your importance. Please provide all three levels of magic Lafite, according to the ratio, to the elves every month. As long as you don't do anything to harm the elves in the future, you will forever be a friend to the elves."
"Of course I won't harm the elves. Orina and I are friends," Alan replied loudly.
When Alan was selling the grapes, he was secretly speculating whether Orina was trying to kill him. But now, it seemed that he was being too narrow minded.
She really did treat him as a friend and sincerely wanted to help him get out of poverty.
Therefore, when Sofia said that as long as Alan did not harm the elves he would always be a distinguished guest to the elves, Alan answered without hesitation that he would not.
When Sofia heard Alan's answer, she also smiled. It seemed that the queen was right about this person.
After agreeing on the details, both of them relaxed and agreed to start the first shipment in half a month.
Alan was happy that his wine helped his friend and made money, and that his business was finally on a steady course.
