Chapter 27: Evening Primrose

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The elves broke into a commotion when they saw Yang Ling return to the tribe on a Unicorn. The Unicorn was a high-level Magical Beast of the light attribute, rumored to be the ride of the Goddess of Nature, naturally blessed by her. Owning a Unicorn was the dream of every elf tribe.

After engaging in the formalities with the elf elder, Yang Ling quickly approached the main question. Coincidentally, an elf from the elf tribe two thousand kilometers away had delivered a small bottle of Water from the Spring of Life.

After obtaining the Water from the Spring of Life, Yang Ling grabbed a bunch of dates to alleviate his hunger and headed out, his movements hurried. He had just got on the Unicorn when he had an idea. He asked for a small empty bottle from the elf elder and carefully poured half of the Water of the Spring of Life into it. He only required half a bottle of the Water from the Spring of Life to save the young lady’s father. The rest of the water would be useful in the future. It could not only improve his own wizard powers, it could also boost the evolution of his Magical Beasts. It was not wise to waste it.

The Unicorn was incredibly fast, much faster than the Gryphon. If the Gryphon was to be compared to the Boeing 737, then the Unicorn would be a rocket. Yang Ling had arrived at the edge of the Terras Forest in just a little over four hours.

“Sir, did you get the Water of the Spring of Life?” Seeing Yang Ling return this quickly, Harribell felt ill with unease.

Stroking the little Unicorn in his arms, Yang Ling let out a long sigh. He feigned hesitation, then took out half a bottle of the Water of the Spring of Life before slowly saying, “It was not easy to snatch half a bottle of this water from that old drunkard. Miss Harribell, take it!”

“Sir, thank you for your generosity. Please tell me if you need anything!” As the acting leader of the Boulade Merchant’s Organization, Harribell had exceptional observational skills. She took the initiative and asked Yang Ling what he wanted as she took the Water from the Spring of Life.

“Well, the old drunkard thinks that booze is more important than his life. Only good wine could allow him to part with a treasure like this. If it is convenient for you, then please get him a few expert winemakers!” How could Yang Ling miss such an opportunity? He continued, “Also, I have opened a small weapons shop in Wissen Town. If it’s possible, can you get me a few expert metalsmiths?”

The other party was very willing to part with their money. Yang Ling understood that even if he did not explicitly say it, he would also receive a large amount of money and gems. He would rather get them to send him expert winemakers and craftsmen than a large amount of good wine and weapons. Ever since he arrived at the refreshing Terras Forest from the terrible environment that was Earth, he could not forget about the sweet spring water and rich resources he had found here. Setting up a distillery here, as long as he had his techniques right, would definitely produce wines of much better quality than whatever garbage they had back on Earth.

Since he had no way of going back, there was no use grumbling about his fate. Ever since he had arrived in this foreign world, Yang Ling had hoped that he could enjoy a new life here. After all, even if money couldn’t solve every problem, it was not possible to live without money. Clearly, setting up a unique distillery in the town was not a bad business idea.

Winemakers and metalsmiths?

Harribell looked unexpectedly at the mysterious, powerful Yang Ling. But after having countless experiences handling the association, she was no longer the carefree young lady she was three years ago. She quickly came to her senses and said, “Do not worry sir, I will definitely make the arrangements. Please wait for our good news!”

Time was of the essence. After quickly coming to an agreement, Harribell bade her farewells to Yang Ling and left on her Silver-winged Pegasus. Other than the heavily armored Hanks and the housekeeper, the rest of the warriors followed behind her on horses. Quickly, the group disappeared within the forest.

After a few formalities, Yang Ling took Hanks and the housekeeper Murbaqi back to the dwarves weapon in town and settled them down. With them as his correspondence, Yang Ling was not worried. He believed that Harribell would send him his large present soon.

Indeed, Harribell acted fast. A little over ten days later, Hanks and Murbaqi brought over a large group of people and horses. Other than the dozen crates of jewelry, they also brought a few hundred barrels of incredible wine, ten expert winemakers, and fifteen experienced metalsmiths. Amongst them, there was also a young man who called himself the royal winemaker of the Banto Empire.

Glancing over at the pile of gifts, Yang Ling instructed Alice to put away the more precious items such as the crystal coins, jewelry, and Dark Fire Crystals. He then tasked the old housekeeper Murbaqi with the miscellaneous stuff such, as settling the people and the banquet.

Following that, Murbaqi showed Yang Ling what true housekeeping was. Under his planning and instructions, the people took their positions in a quick and orderly fashion. Some people renovated the premises, some gathered ingredients in Wissen Town, and the experienced winemakers and metalsmiths also became busy.

Quickly, the first distillery in Wissen Town had been set up. It had an area of about ten hectares and was situated not far from the weapons shop. The distillery took the back of the area, while the front was occupied by a bar. It also had a poetic name—Evening Primrose.

The Evening Primrose Bar had two levels. The first level was mainly to entertain ordinary citizens and troops. The floor was paved with marble they found from the stone manufacturing plant nearby, the walls and ceiling were constructed from high-quality wood. Air circulated nicely in the building, and it had ample light. Other than that, there was also a small dance stage set up near the center of the hall for poets or performers who had come to the bar.

Different from the first level, the second level of the bar was mainly targeted at the rich. The floors and walls were all made with Purple Sandalwood sourced from deep within the Terras Forest. The ceiling was dotted with crystals and gems of varying sizes. They would sparkle when the sky became darker, just like the stars in the sky, captivating and romantic. Accompanied by the evening primrose decorating the corner of the bar, Yang Ling believed that this would be tempting to young people and rich ladies who enjoyed a romantic atmosphere.

There were only about twenty thousand people residing in Wissen Town, but because of its rich resources, the town also attracted many troops, explorers, spellcasters, and even dubious people like thieves. As the weather was comfortable here, the town also drew nobles from the Banto Empire and Livenza Alliance to hunt or take a holiday here from time to time.

Yang Ling believed that with the natural advantage brought about by the Terras Forest, the population of Wissen Town would grow. As long as he managed the dwarves’ weapon shop and this bar carefully, he would definitely be able to earn a good income. Even though it would not reach the level of Harribell and her crystal and gemstone mines, it was much better than being a sales architect in a small company back on Earth, worrying about his day to day expenses.

Under the old housekeeper’s efforts, the Evening Primrose Bar quickly opened for business.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the opening day of the first distillery in Wissen Town, as well as the opening day of the Evening Primrose Bar. All the wine here will be on a fifty percent discount today!”

Seeing the townspeople swarm toward his bar, Yang Ling excitedly raised the glass in his hands. Most of the townspeople in Wissen Town were hunters or wood gatherers, their personalities forthright. A good portion of them were also alcoholics. As long as the distillery and the bar operated normally, they would definitely be his gold mine.

Even though they could not come up with any new wine for the time being, Yang Ling believed that with the rich resources in the Terras Forest, as well as his expert winemakers, he could one day discover whiskey, brandy, Maotai, and other delicious alcohols.

“Oh Yiblis, this is good wine!”

“Oh, Raphael Red Wine from the Rossi Empire, my god, to think that I get to drink Raphael Red Wine here!”

“Tsk tsk, great wine. The wine is fragrant, the people even more so!”

...

After taking a sip of the free wine Yang Ling offered at the entrance, the people were shocked, all entering the bar to find a seat. They were afraid that there would not be any seats left if they waited.

In order to attract attention, Yang Ling resorted to a strategy he had used before, getting a few slender elves from the elf tribe to act as the service staff. Indeed, the slender figures, beautiful faces, long legs... The crowd once again broke into a rowdy commotion.

A few drunkards, in their drunken stupor, took sips of wine as they looked at the captivating elf beauties. They looked at one, then stole peeks at the other, but none of them dared try anything funny after they had witnessed Yang Ling’s abilities. No one thought that the two nearly-three-meter barbarians at the door were merely decorations.
