Chapter 104 What are you doing, Little Incubus (Extra update 10/65)
The harvest celebration was nearing its end. Watching the alchemical fireworks gradually fade, Kael couldn't help but feel a sense of time slipping away.
The lively, occasionally troublesome players beside him also looked much more agreeable now.
Elanna supported Olivia. Her burgundy hair mixed with Olivia's loose white hair.
Olivia, reeking of alcohol, held her beer mug high. Beer foam splashed out as she waved it around, clearly she had just got another large mug of beer.
"The taste... It's quite good. Another one, let's drink up!"
The flush on her face was almost the same color as Elanna's hair. She swung the beer mug dramatically, her knight clothes outlining her graceful curves. The splattering beer petals were like a sudden summer afternoon rain, passing swiftly, leaving pale yellow stains in the roadside gutters!
Watching her struggling teacher, Elanna felt somewhat embarrassed but seemed quite used to this kind of scene of dragging her teacher around.
She glanced at her shawl, initially intending to cover her teacher with it but then remembered it was a gift from Kael.
Thinking of this, she was reluctant and had to look at Kael with pleading eyes.
Kael stepped forward, took off his jacket, and gently draped it over Olivia.
"What's this, Little Incubus? I'm happy today, very happy! Just drank a bit too much!" Olivia struggled a bit, but Elanna was quick.
Without a word, she fastened Kael's jacket, shrouding the high peaks.
Kael admired her drinking capacity. If he remembered correctly, she had fetched ten beers from the wagon in his sight.
Such a big wooden mug, ten mugs down, could bloat a person's stomach.
But looking at Olivia, there was only one rise and fall as usual, and her belly didn't look like it had consumed ten cups at all.
Just as Elanna said, she could really hold her liquor.
He took the beer mug from Elanna's hand, drank it all in one gulp, and his eyes grew hazy. He quite enjoyed this atmosphere.
However, he wasn't a player anymore and possessed an Undead Body.
Just drinking this cup today to experience the harvest festival atmosphere was enough.
Then he said to Elanna, who looked a bit embarrassed, "Elanna, later you still have to escort everyone back, so don't drink too much."
Luxius smiled knowingly. This little rascal, what "escort everyone back"? Among the people present, you youngsters were the least capable, playing tricks like a pro.
But he didn't expose them.
Drunk? Impossible!
Back when he had just stopped being an adventurer, he used to drink less frequently.
After all, alcohol would numb his brain, and he didn't like the feeling of losing control over his body. He always worried that it would make him less clear-headed during his spell research.
But now with his increased strength, even large amounts of alcohol could be resolved through spells.
Seeing Elanna still trying to support the slightly drunk Olivia, Luxius said helplessly:
"Alright, leave her be. This fellow has no problem no matter how much she drinks."
He carefully chose his words and added, "After all, that's Olivia, the star teacher of your Royal Knight Academy."
Sharp-witted, Kael noticed Luxius' subtle expressions when facing Olivia and concluded she had some special identity that Luxius hadn't revealed.
But since Luxius didn't seem eager to explain, he didn't dwell on it.
He maintained a calm outlook on the matter.
Kael glanced at everyone and said, "Why don't we call it a day?"
Just then, Archbishop Tetuwu came over with an ears-of-wheat-like golden rope on his arm and a gentle smile on his face, saying:
"Sure, I've learned most of what I wanted to know today. These Undead are even more communicative than I imagined, they just need some minor guidance.
The liveliest part of the harvest festival is over now, heading back at this time won't miss out on much."
Kael nodded.
He didn't think Archbishop Tetuwu would harm the players. In his last life, although the bishop seldom met players, his overall stance was to protect kind and neutral Undead.
So he looked at the others.
Luxius shrugged and said, "You take care of it. I've eaten quite a bit at the celebration today, a good rest would help digest the food.
Besides, apart from the Undead, the nearby residents following us to celebrate seemed a bit reserved.
It's better to go back early. We've experienced it, the remaining fun can be left for them."
Kael nodded, then glanced at the several knights still toasting each other, and walked over to arrange some staff for festival vigilance before leaving.
But the few knight captains didn't return with them.
Kael chose to leave the festivities to them.
These guys hadn't met for a while, let alone today's celebration gathered many people. Kael was also worried about any unexpected changes if they returned too soon.
In fact, if it wasn't for meeting Kael first, at least one of them would have stayed to assist the Rangers and sentries in maintaining order to prevent any accidents.
On the way back on horseback with Elanna, Kael shook his tail to sober up using Queen Jasmine's effect, while also glancing at the game forum on the system panel.
As he expected, the forum was bustling too.
Chen Xin: "Jealous, my eyes are turning red. I'm still in the village below doing tasks, can't make it back in time, missed the game's first celebration, heartbroken!"
This Man Isn't Very C: "Pain, too painful!"
Travelling the Empty Mountains: "What's so painful? Just do some sliding tackles on a few Shadow Wolves, and you won't feel the pain!"
Push Me to Write: "Damn it! Do you think that's why my heart aches? My heart aches because of this! Look at the picture!"
Push Me to Write posted a picture. It showed Kael feeding Elanna during the alchemical fireworks, with a cute girl beside them looking envious and pitiful.
Comments exploded below:
"Damn, where did these two beauties standing next to Kael come from?"
"Shocking! The version pet, Incubus, already has one beauty on each side!"
Stay tuned for updates on empire
"Boohoo, Kael! My Kael!"
"I said, stop flirting here!"
"Just flirting right here!"
