“Lwent to help the tavern across the road install their apparatus. I promised the owner two days ago. When I was there, I had three cups of tea. I came back after I was done with my work to cook for kids.”

Before Irina could say anything, Mag told her everything.

“Just that?” Irina looked at him with a seeming smile.

“Yeah. Just that.” Mag nodded. He went up, sat in front of Irina, and poured her a glass of water. After that, he changed the topic, and said, “There’s another important thing I have to tell you.”

“It’s the devil?” Irina looked at Mag seriously.

“It’s not the devil. It’s the Elder Things.” Mag lowered his volume.

“The Elder Things? What’s that?” Irina frowned.

“A lady barged in last night after operating hours suddenly. She had a strange weapon with her, and said that she was the Observer of the Elder Things. She said she could tell that I had contact with the devil, and thought that I might have swapped souls with the devil. She even thought of killing me,” Mag

said.

“Was she very strong?”

“She was not weaker than me.” Mag nodded.

Irina’s expression turned grave. She knew very clearly where Mag stood in terms of power; almost no one in the Norland Continent was his match.

But that woman was not weaker than him.

“What exactly is the Elder Things?”

Mag speculated, “I think it might be an even more advanced civilization. They are even more powerful, and have better weapons. However, they chose to hide, and did not appear on the Norland Continent. We could not even find traces of them in the classical books.”

“What happened after that?”

“Her goal is the devil, and so is ours. In some way, we are friends. Besides, she was not confident of walking out of the tavern safely after killing me. Therefore, we negotiated and built a connection.” Mag pulled out the communication device that Xi passed to him. It was a phone that could do voice calls.

Irina looked at the device, and said, “If their goal is the devil, this does not seem like a bad thing for us. It’s better than us being headless flies trying to find Joey and the escaped devil.”

“In this sense, it is like that.” Mag nodded. He looked towards the staircase. The two children should still be playing upstairs.

“Lhave another important thing I feel I have to tell you.”

Irina raised her hand, and formed a soundproof barrier.

“It’s concerning Annie’s origin. I’m sorry, I lied to you,” Mag said apologetically.

“Heh. So you did play around behind my back?” Irina’s eyebrows shot up, and the air seemed to have gotten colder.

Mag quickly waved his hands. “No, no, no, it’s not like that!”

“Then what is it like?”

“Actually, Annie is a purely kind personality that the lightning bolt struck out from the devil that day when I was resealing the devil outside Chaos City. I almost fell into the devil’s hallucination that day, and she was the one who pointed the way out for me and saved me,” Mag explained.

“In that case, Annie is…”

“Back then, I realized she was just like a newborn child. She was very pure and kind. I was afraid that others would harm her, so I brought her out of the sealed land, and decided to keep her. She is a kind child. You know it,” Mag said seriously.

“Yes. Annie is a good child.” Irina nodded. She thought for a while, and said, “So that woman came yesterday and also discovered Annie?”

Mag nodded. “Yes. The Elder Things seem to have a unique way of seeking out the devil’s aura, so she could tell straight away that Annie was different. She even wanted to bring Annie back for research.”

“Tm glad you kept Annie with you.”

“Amnie is just like Amy, they are both our children. I would never let her be taken away. Therefore, I used my sword and my reasons to keep Annie with me.” Mag nodded. However, he said worriedly, “But I don’t think she would give up so easily. After all, from a certain point of view, Annie is also a devil to

them. They would not let her go even if she is a kind devil.”

Irina looked at Mag with gentleness, and reached out to grab his hand. “I will stand by you and protect our children together.”

“Since there is an even higher upper limit in this world, I will become stronger than I am now so that no one can threaten us again,” Mag said with a serious expression.

Eiffie was busying herself in the brewery, trying to make the first Titan Liquor using the new apparatus based on what Mag had taught her and what she had gained from her years of experience.

Compared to the complex workflow of the original Titan Liquor and the distillation equipment that was difficult to control, Mag’s improved workflow made things much simpler, and the new distillation equipment was also easier to operate.

“Young Mistress, Mr. Hades taught you how to brew Titan Liquor… In that case, wouldn’t he also have learned how to brew it?” Mala, who was raising the fire, asked Eiffie.

Eiffie was stunned when she heard that. After that, she smilingly said, “Mr. Hades’s Maotai isn’t any worse than the Titan Liquor. With his intelligence and talent, why would he have helped us with designing and building this brewery if he had really been after the Titan Liquor?”

“That’s true. Mr. Hades is smart and capable. It’s just a pity he was taken too early.” Mala nodded.

“You wench, that’s not nice.” Eiffie glared at her.

Mala stuck her tongue out, and pretended as if she said nothing.

“Boss, are you joining the liquor tasting event tomorrow? The quality of Maotai and whiskey would definitely bring us some prizes.”

“Yes. The alcohol from the past few years could not even compare to Maotai. It just gets worse as the years pass.”

“I we won a prize, we would probably get people lining up to drink.”

Many of the customers who came today asked Mag if he would be joining the liquor tasting event, showing that the alcohol-lovers in the liquor-tasting event were still rather influential in the circle.

Mag smiled, and replied that Maotai would be attending the liquor-tasting event. As for why the whiskey did not attend, it was to give other types of alcohol a chance.

Just listen to that. Did that even sound like what a human would say?

As the Saipan Tavern slowly rose in popularity, it was only left with 121 points to reach the 1000-point popularity goal.

Of course, after the liquor tasting event tomorrow, this difference would become +1086.

After sending the last batch of customers off, Mag closed the door to the tavern and stretched.

Saipan Tavern was finally on track. Its popularity was rising slowly, and there wasn’t enough space inside the tavern currently. Mag was considering knocking off the wall to the shop next door so that he could add more seats.

Just then, his expression turned grave. Mag turned to look at the space diagonally above him.

Irina and Amy, who were counting the money behind the counter, also paused in their actions, and looked towards where Mag was looking.

The space outside the tavern started to become warped, and a huge silhouette appeared..
