At eleven o'clock, the business ended. Mag closed the door of the tavern and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tonight, the tavern entertained more than 180 guests, and the turnover exceeded 100,000 copper coins for the first time.
Because most of the money was collected by Amy, Mag lost the opportunity to hide private money.
"Father, this bracelet will still glow in the dark." Amy got out from under the table and said happily, shaking the beads in her hand.
"It's a very valuable thing." Mag said with a smile, which was why Vanessa gave away the Night Pearl bracelet.
"But what about mother? She hasn't come back even today?" Amy put down her hand and asked.
"She has gone back to the City of Chaos. There may be something that needs her to deal with." Mag wasn't too worried about Irina. With Azi here, even if there was an emergency, it would not be difficult to break out.
After all, the City of Chaos is their rear area, and there will be no major changes.
"Let's go, it's getting late, we should go upstairs and get ready to wash up and go to bed." Mag held Amy's little hand and walked towards the stairs.
There was a sound of light footsteps, and Annie appeared at the top of the stairs, holding a picture album in her arms.
"Annie, what's wrong?" Mag stopped and asked with a smile.
Annie handed the album in her arms to Mag.
Mag took the picture album. On the cover was a pretty and lovely mermaid sitting on a reef. The background was the rippling blue sea. The most eye-catching thing was the bowl of... braised pork in the mermaid's hand?
Is it possible to inject soul instantly?
Just looking at the cover, the name "The Indescribable Story of Mermaid and Braised Pork" is not off topic at all.
Compared with a simple and cute mermaid, plus a bowl of braised pork, it actually arouses more curiosity.
In just two days, Annie's painting skills have been significantly improved. Both the painting style and the details are impeccable.
Even the bowl of braised pork, alternately fat and thin, bright and attractive in color, makes people greedy.
"What a beautiful little mermaid, Sister Anne is so amazing." Amy climbed onto a stool nearby and exclaimed.
When you open the album, you will still see the familiar mermaid story, but compared to the first version, the storyboards, character expressions and lines of this version have all made great progress.
Of course, what's more important is that an old man named "Meg" is inserted into it. He teaches the little prince how to make "braised pork" and then helps him capture the heart of the mermaid.
You see, this is the quality a good cartoonist should have.
Not only did he enter the mermaid story without any sense of violation, but he also played a very important role.
The cooking process of braised pork is also drawn just right.
Even a person who doesn't know how to cook can take this picture book and follow the steps in the picture to make a qualified braised pork.
Annie put her hands behind her back and looked at Mag nervously and expectantly.
Like a good student waiting for the teacher to announce his results.
"Perfect, very perfect!" Mag closed the picture album, looked at Anne and praised sincerely: "Annie, you are a born cartoonist, with unparalleled talent in this area."
A smile finally appeared on Annie's face, her cheeks were slightly red, but her eyes were shining.
"Let me be healthy again." Amy carefully took the picture album from Mag's hand and ran upstairs.
"The paintings are so good, it would be a pity not to publish them, but I think the equipment of the album publishers in Luodu is a bit crude, and I'm afraid they won't be able to print the effect of the original paintings..." Mag pondered for a while, and said: "It's better to do this Well, I will open a printing shop and just print your picture albums."
Anne nodded obediently, but she didn't seem to understand what Mag was saying.
"Let's go, it's getting late. Let's wash up and go to bed first." Mag smiled and touched her head, saying dotingly.
Annie squinted her eyes and rubbed his hand, then turned and went upstairs.
After telling a bedtime story to the two little guys, Mag went back to his room and changed into black night clothes before leaving the tavern.
"Boss Mai, this way." Noah waved in the dark alley.
"How's it going?" Mag walked into the alley and looked at Merant and asked.
"We searched all over Luodu, but we couldn't find any traces related to the devil. Qiao Xiu may have left Luodu." Merant shook his head and said.
"This is not good news." Mag frowned.
"Maybe he didn't leave, but just hid? He is so cunning." Noah interjected.
"Now that he has become a public enemy, there is no room for him to develop in Luodu. There is little value in staying. He should not take the risk of staying in this city with the highest density of level 10 powerhouses." Mag shook his head. "It will be even harder to find him now."
"Then where will he go?" Noah asked.
Mag thought for a while and said: "If he wants to become stronger, he must continue to create conflicts and then gain more resentment from them, or appear in places where resentment is strong and directly absorb resentment."
"Perhaps we should go to the far north to have a look. It was an ancient battlefield and there were countless bones buried under the snowfield." Merant suddenly said.
"That ghost place..." Noah's expression suddenly dropped, "There are no two ghosts, he shouldn't appear there."
When he thought of leaving the warm and comfortable Luodu and heading to the icy and snowy Far North Snowfield, he felt that his life had suddenly lost its light.
Merant looked at Mag and said: "We will set off tomorrow morning. If we find any trace of him, we will notify you, Boss Mai, as soon as possible."
"Okay." Mag nodded, "Let's search Luodu again tonight and go into the Second Prince's Mansion to have a look."
"That's fine." Merante nodded, and the three of them quickly disappeared into the black alley.
Half an hour later, Mag came out from the wall of the Second Prince's Mansion, looked at the wooden box in his hand, and frowned slightly.
"It seems that this is the source of the devil. Greed still made him lose his soul." Merant sighed.
"This shows that the devil who controlled Qiao Xiu is not the same devil who escaped from the seal under the Golden Dragon Island. We have two enemies." Mag handed the wooden box to Merant.
Merante put away the wooden box and said solemnly: "I will find him as soon as possible before he lays a bigger conspiracy."
"Be safe." Mag nodded.
"Let's go, boy." Merante turned and left.
"Didn't you say you won't leave until tomorrow morning?" Noah was confused.
"When the devil comes to your door, he won't give you a chance to spend the night." Merante smiled.
"Goodbye, Boss Mai." Noah waved to Mag with a grimace, and quickly followed Merante.
