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

Chapter 120: An Old Friend?

The Imperial City

The weather was clear, completely different from the gloomy sky in Rock City.

After Wayne set out overnight, he arrived at the Imperial City at a leisurely pace. It was already two days later.

If it was another slightly weaker person traveled to the Imperial City, he would probably still be struggling on the road.

Wayne had a mixed feeling about this city that he had not been to for a long time.

Back then, this was the place where his dream had begun, and now it was also the place where his dream had fallen.

He had thought that after so many years, he would be able to remain calm, but he had not expected that he would still be unable to remain calm when he returned to his old place.

“Sigh, if it wasn’t for Little Alan, I wouldn’t have come back!”

After standing outside the city gate for a long time, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and slowly walked into the city.

Just from outside the city, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere was not right. The capital, which was supposed to be very lively, now looked like a desolate place.

Other than the two lazy city guards, there was no one else.

When Wayne approached the city gate, he was stopped.

“Routine inspection. Where did you come from? What are you doing in the city?”

Wayne was stopped by the soldiers. He looked at the lazy soldiers even when they were asking questions. In his heart, the severity of the situation in the city had once again risen to another level.

“I came from Rock City to visit a friend. Why is there no one in the city now? Isn’t it too quiet?” Wayne asked casually.

“Rock City? It’s quite far, but what kind of friend is this to call you to Imperial City at this time? I think you should be more careful. Your friend isn’t normal.”

The soldier looked at Wayne with pity.

“We’ve been old friends for many years. He won’t harm me. But what’s the situation in the Imperial City now?”

Wayne pretended to be an honest and humble man. If he could get information from the other party, it would be a good thing.

“Since you’re already here, you should enter the city. After all, no one knows the situation in the city. After you find your friend, don’t wander outside. It’s safest to stay there.”

The soldier didn’t want to say anything more. He let Wayne enter the city.

Wayne entered the city and looked back at the empty city gate. Two lazy soldiers were leaning against the wall, frowning.

There was no one on the street. There was no sign of people.

Empty, sorrow, desolate…

It wasn’t as lively as the small border city like Rock City.

Wayne observed the whole way while looking for Olivia’s aura. Yupanki had said that as long as he reached Imperial Coty, someone would welcome him.

It was appropriate to describe him as a bold and skilled person. On the empty main street, he was the only one wandering the streets.

Wayne did not know the location of the princess’s residence. When he came to Imperial City, Olivia had not been born yet.

Her current residence was built after she became an adult. Wayne was waiting for the people from the princess’s residence to lead the way for him.

“There’s quite a change. It wasn’t like this before. Unfortunately, there are fewer people. It’s not as lively as Rock City, and the streets aren’t as clean as Rock City…”

Wayne walked and stopped, muttering to himself. After living in Rock City for more than ten years, he was already used to the lifestyle of a small city in the countryside. Moreover, because of Alan, Rock City was not quite the same as any other city.

He was still not used to Imperial City at this time, so he subconsciously compared it to Rock City.

After walking for a while, Wayne suddenly felt that someone was following him. The other party did not show up, so he did not know whose person it was.

According to the information from Yupanki, the capital was currently controlled by three forces, and all three forces were waiting for the final opportunity to strike at each other.

However, the people who had the most hope of winning were still Olivia and the fifth prince. These two people were the ones who had preserved their strength the most.

“Come out. Don’t continue to embarrass yourself with that crappy tracking technique.”

Wayne felt that the person behind him had followed him all the way, but he still did not show any signs. He was already very impatient and directly exposed the other party’s actions.

In the empty alley, a gust of wind blew past and swept up the dust on the ground.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no response.

Wayne was helpless and continued, “There’s no use hiding anymore. Your magic power fluctuations are too obvious. Come out, let’s have a chat.”

After a long time, a man dressed as a knight walked out of the alley and stood in front of Wayne.

“You’re Wayne?”

The man stood in front of Wayne and looked at him for a long time before he asked with uncertainty.

Wayne looked at him in confusion, not understanding his attitude.

“Who are you?”

The man was a little shocked when he heard this question. He was silent for a long time before he said.

“So it really is you. I thought I was wrong.”

The man’s face was filled with surprise.

“When I was in the Eagle Group, I originally wanted to join your team, but I never passed the selection. In the end, I gave up joining the Eagle Group… I admired you a lot back then.”

Wayne’s expression stiffened when he heard these two words. That period of time in the Eagle Group was the most glorious period of his first half of his life.

Ever since he was injured, he didn’t dare to recall that period of time.

“What’s your name?” Wayne asked in a hoarse voice.

The man’s expression relaxed slightly as he replied, “My name is Peg!”

Wayne recalled for a long time, but he still couldn’t remember. Back then, there was someone in his team who had submitted an application?

“Well, let the past be the past. Why don’t you tell me first, why you followed me all the way?”

He couldn’t recall it at all, so he decided to let it go. He still had business to attend to.

“It’s like this. I’m currently working in the fifth prince’s residence, and I’ve recently been inspected in the Imperial City.”

“If I find any suspicious strangers entering the city, the prince requests to report it immediately. I saw you at the city gate just now, and you looked very familiar, so I thought of following you to take a look…”

“But why did you come to Imperial City at this time?” Peg smiled and explained his actions just now.

Wayne did not expect to meet his opponent the moment he entered the city.

“It’s nothing. I was invited by a friend, so I came to take a look. But the current situation in the imperial city doesn’t seem very good.”

He tried to explain, but on the surface, Wayne did not seem to care about the other party, but in his heart, he was very vigilant.

Peg frowned slightly. He couldn’t figure out what kind of friend Wayne had in the city after leaving for more than ten years. Moreover, what was the point of calling a cripple who had already lost his magic power over at this time. What was he trying to do?

Could it be that Wayne had already recovered his magic power? This was impossible. Back then, Master Kermir had already confirmed that he shouldn’t have any chance of recovering.

Wayne looked at Peg, who was getting nervous. He couldn’t help but wonder what this person’s goal was. At least it wasn’t as simple as he said. He saw that he looked familiar and followed him.

Silence spread in the air, but at this moment, a fat snow-white pigeon landed lightly on Wayne’s shoulder.

“Her Highness sent me to pick you up!”

The pigeon let out a sharp voice. Wayne turned his head slightly and saw the pigeon.

The two humans were obviously stunned. Wayne was very surprised. He hadn’t expected the princess to send a bird to pick him up.

Opposite him, Peg was puzzled. So Wayne had really been invited. But who was the highness that the fat bird was talking about?

“Peg, let’s part ways here. Let’s pretend that we’ve never met.”

After saying that, Wayne turned to leave, but it seemed that the other party didn’t want to let him go easily.

“Well, Wayne! I think we can still have a good chat!”

As Peg spoke, he was about to come forward and pull Wayne back. In his eyes, Wayne was just a middle-aged man who had lost his magic. However, he came to Imperial City at such a sensitive time was very suspicious.

“Peg!”

Wayne turned his head and glared at him, scolding him in a low voice.

“You’d better pretend you haven’t seen me!”

His eyes were full of hostile, making Peg stay where he was, not daring to move a single step.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Wayne turned around and left the alley with the fat pigeon.
