"Alvin Felie? This name looks so familiar..." Everyone said secretly in their hearts. It seems that not everyone has a memory as good as the war palace manager.
"Oh! I remembered! It's the leader of the Free Army in Zanc City, right?" The one who reacted quickly began to exclaim.
Suddenly the crowd became noisy.
"Oh! I remembered it too! The painting in the Holy Feather Cathedral in Zantz City was also written by him, right?"
"Why didn't he stay in Zantz City and come to Tilea City?"
"Hush! Didn't you see that the two from Philodi's family are here too?"
"Oh... you mean..." someone pointed out.
Now what John was worried about happened.
It is believed that the Philodi family and the Ecumenical Freedom Army will form an alliance. It cannot be concealed.
The Marquis of Elu and Theresia in Nufandor should receive this news soon.
In fact, Newfandor will know about the news of Tilea City joining the Free City State sooner or later. It's just that Alvin didn't want any more changes and wanted to implement this matter as soon as possible. He was also afraid of a recurrence of the old wine barrel, so he had to go out and add fuel to the fire himself.
"Is it possible that this guy deliberately participated in Lao Shizi's 'poetry fight'?" Aonian muttered in her heart. She only reacted after hearing what everyone said.
"Oh, it turns out that he wants to use the two Philodi brothers to promote it." Onian couldn't help but feel a sense of "admiration".
"This little trick is so easy to pull off." Onian cursed. She knew that Alvin would not be able to arrange for someone to perform such a "fight poem" here in advance. Therefore, it should be a temporary idea for him to show off his skills, but the purpose behind it is not just to show off his poetry skills.
Zanc City is still in the process of recruiting and training soldiers, and is not qualified to swallow up the entire Principality of Boer in one fell swoop. It can even be said that Zanc City is still at its weakest stage.
If Thearesia can still gather a group of people at this time, the free city-state that occupies Zantz City will probably not be able to drink from this pot.
Therefore, Alvin wants the news of the alliance between Zantz City and Tilea City to spread faster.
More importantly, he was also afraid that Marquis Elu would send someone to offer a higher price for the old wine barrel. Based on Alvin's understanding of Old Wine Barrel, this guy values practical interests the most, and there is no guarantee that he will have any other plans in the future.
So coming to Tilea City to negotiate peace is one step, and getting rid of Thearesia's idea of offering a higher price is the next step.
Alvin wanted to let Thearesia in Newfandor know that he had a good relationship with the Philodi family. As for why it’s good? Because the peace talks started very early, earlier than she thought.
I believe that even if he doesn't meet Yuhao Quanba and others, Alvin will naturally have a way to send the news he wants to convey to New Fando as soon as possible. It's just that you don't have to be so deliberate now. This kind of news spread through Youyou's mouth is the most convincing.
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------
While Onian was thinking about these things, everyone in the tavern ignored them and rushed to clink glasses with Alvin. The leader of the Ecumenical Freedom Army is here. Why don't you have a nice drink with him?
Especially everyone in Tilea City thought that Old Wine Barrel's trip to Zantz was a sure thing. Who would have thought that Alvin would show up on the way, fight off three groups of people, and monopolize Zantz City? . Although the religious leader of the Free City State is Archbishop Leah, the battle was fought by Alvin, and people naturally fell more in love with this young man who was capable of both literary and military skills. Even though this city of Tyrell is the foundation of the Philodi family, even in front of Rusty and John, the people here have nothing to worry about, and their admiration for this legendary young man is beyond words.
This friendship between fists and fists was unexpected by Alvin, but since he wrote "wine and distance" in his own poem, naturally no one would let him go.
Looking at Alvin who was so hot, Rusty felt a little sour and unhappy. After all, he was the one running back from Constant Plains.
John had a calm look on his face. He had certainly noticed Alvin's little thoughts, but he couldn't say anything more. After all, he and Alvin might have other things to cooperate with in the future. Woolen cloth. It's just that he didn't expect that such a man with such a beautiful mouth and a beautiful heart could be so clever and resourceful when he played small tricks. It was really amazing and admirable.
"Come on, come on, I'll toast you with another drink!" Fatty Joe was really happy today, dragging Alvin to drink endlessly. "It's better to be embraced by a beautiful woman with a thousand years of fame and fame than to be far away with wine." He couldn't help but savor it twice, "Well written! Well written!"
Quan Ba, who originally thought he would be the protagonist, was also smiling and toasting at the side. He was convinced that he had lost. Faced with such unparalleled poetry, he had nothing to say. What's more, Alvin's innate grace and grace impressed him even more.
Even Yu Hao, who had completely lost, stuck in the crowd and insisted on having a few drinks with the leader of the Universalist Freedom Army.
It seems that Alvin cannot go to the private room upstairs today.
After drinking for a few rounds, Rusty and John felt a little confused when they saw that this large group of people had no intention of letting Alvin go.
Lao Jiugong said that he wanted them to entertain Alvin well, but at this time, the pushy painter was almost knocked unconscious. The two brothers were determined to abandon their identities and eat and drink with this large group of people, but it seemed impolite to leave.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Onian saw the two people's difficulties and thoughtfully told them that it was okay to leave at this time.
As for why Onian did this, it was because she saw Alvin whispering for a moment while exchanging cups with Fat Joe.
It seems that there is something to discuss.
I believe that this kind of thing should be avoided by the Philodi family.
When the two Philodi brothers heard what Onian said, they were relieved. They spoke politely to Onian with expressions of gratitude, and then left one after another. Of course, both of them found the right opportunity to secretly tell Onian the address of their private residence in Tyrell City.
"These two brothers, it seems that apart from the apparent cooperation of Old Wine Barrel, they still have a lot of things to do with Alvin privately." Onian couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and thought to herself.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
Alvin's drinking capacity was the worst among the "Four Young Masters of Salyuhi". How could he withstand the "conquest" of so many people? He was soon lying on a recliner and wandering around the world.
There was still a smile on his lips, because someone was reciting his poems loudly in his ears.
At this time, Onian appeared at the right time, with a flowing water folding fan in her hand, fanning Alvin to relieve his fever. Fortunately, Alvin was the type who didn't make any noise or make any noise when he was drunk, he just slept there. This really pleased Onian, so she playfully played with Alvin's hot cheeks with her delicate orchid fingers. Who told the guy in front of her to put so much thought into it? She had to take advantage of this opportunity to knead him.
Originally, there were some meddlesome people in the commotion, and they wanted to come up and joke with O'Nian, but when they saw the chilling golden eyes and the cold aura that was not in line with summer, they immediately stopped. .
Fat Joe smiled as he reminded the men of what Onian had done on Constant Plains. Only then did everyone remember that Mr. Alvin's wife was a powerful mage with terrifying power.
Fatty Qiao, Quan Ba, and Yu Hao are really good at drinking. Maybe Quan Ba and Yu Hao developed this habit because of their relationship as bards. capacity for liquor. As for Fat Joe, it may be because of his figure. His figure resembles a wine barrel, and he can easily hold wine at first glance.
As evening approached, Alvin woke up leisurely. He only felt that his mind was still very groggy. It seems that Tyrell's red wine and Joffin's red wine are not quite the same after all. Whether it is brewing technology or grape varieties, there are quite big differences between the north and the south. For Alvin, the southern taste is naturally better.
Alvin reluctantly stood up, rummaged for ice cubes on the wine table, and then wiped them all on his face, hoping to use the low temperature to sober himself up.
He couldn't help but sigh that he hadn't been so drunk in a long time, thinking that those ridiculous days with Laiwu, Chenzhu, and Kaiba were finally gone forever.
"Is this what you call 'drinking a long way'?" Aonian's mocking voice came from behind, "Then you won't be able to go very far."
"Hehehe..." Alvin laughed helplessly.
"Where's that fat man?" He turned around and looked twice, "Don't he have something to say to me?"
At this time, there were no irrelevant people in the tavern, and the shopkeeper had already arranged for the waiter to carry away everyone who should be carried away.
"Here, here, I'm here." Fatty Qiao jumped up from a wicker chair in the corner.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't just lying there after drinking too much, I was waiting for Alvin to sober up and got sleepy and fell asleep.
As soon as he got up, he also brought up Quan Ba and Yu Hao beside him.
"You..." Alvin looked at these three people in surprise. He got up from the fat man, and the other two immediately followed him. It was obvious that these three people knew each other, and the fat man was the leader.
"Mr. Alvin, don't be surprised. We have known each other for a long time." Shen Qiaoqiao explained with a smile, and then pointed at the two people behind him, "Quan Ba, Yu Hao, I believe you have met them just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the owner of the tavern also walked into the back room. At this time, the waiters outside were all sent out by the shopkeeper, and a rough wooden sign saying they were closed was hung on the door.
"His name is Mouth, and he is my old brother who has been with me for many years." Fatty said with a smile.
"Mouth?" Alvin extremely suspected that he heard wrongly, or that he was still drunk.
Seeing Alvin's expression, Quan Ba tried hard to hold back his laughter, but Yuhao couldn't help it at all and burst into laughter.
"That's right, Mouth. He has no other name, just Mouth." Fatty Qiao didn't mean to be joking.
"Indeed, my name is Mouth." The shopkeeper introduced himself calmly, not paying attention to the two laughing people.
Alvin nodded, without further entanglement, and then looked at Fat Joe, "Tell me, what's the matter? You took so much trouble to keep me here, didn't you just introduce 'Mouth' to me?"
The two bards Quan Ba and Yu Hao were still able to catch Alvin's cold humor, and they couldn't stop having fun.
Alvin thinks the relationship between these people is quite interesting. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Quan Ba and Yu Hao looked at Fatty Qiao as their leader, but the leader was still standing. The two guys had just slumped there since they were introduced. It was really Very interesting.
"No, no." Fatty Joe actually felt a little awkward when facing Alvin, especially when both parties didn't drink.
"We just want to follow you." Fat Joe looked at Alvin and said seriously.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Why?" Alvin replied without thinking.
Because in his opinion, these people were in the territory of the Philodi family, so how could they be interested in coming to seek refuge with him?
"Mr. Alvin, to tell you the truth, this tavern is actually my business." Fatty Joe said and looked around the furnishings in the room.
Alvin nodded, and there was no surprise. Since the man named Mouth was the one who helped the fat man, it was also expected that the boss behind the war palace was Fat Joe.
"What's going on? Are you unhappy with the cooperation with the Philodi family?" Alvin asked bluntly. His eyes fell on those swaying red wine bottles, which were all red wine produced by the Philodi family. Therefore, he could guess that this "War Palace" was a joint business between Fatty Qiao and the Philodi family, which was not surprising.
This is Alvin's art of talking to people, making unexpected head-on moves to test the other person's reaction. But it's so reasonable to ask, and it makes people have to accept it. Of course, there is also Alvin's self-reliance on his own identity.
Fat Joe coughed and smiled awkwardly, "No, that's not the case." He admired Alvin's behavior very much, and he was really unique in his behavior.
Not only Fatty Qiao, but also Quan Ba, Yuhao, and Mouzui were all stunned by Alvin's question. The two people who were laughing happily now also tightened their expressions and stopped messing around.
"Forgive me for being so direct," Alvin said after smiling, letting the atmosphere relax, "I'm just curious, that's all."
"There's nothing unpleasant about it." Fatty Qiao also smiled.
"That is to say, do business with them. It will be so big in one year," Fatty Qiao put his thumbs and index fingers together to make a pie circle, "Two years... three years... five years... Ten years later it’s still the same size.”
Alvin nodded, believing more and more in Fat Joe's identity as a businessman.
"Then follow me... maybe there will be nothing left," Alvin said with a grin, "Don't be so big. If you are so big, there will be nothing left."
"Haha, how else can I say that you are the one who does great things?" Fatty Qiao laughed out loud.
"Huh?" Alvin didn't understand this sudden flattery.
"Those who always think of the worst-case scenario are the doers who work seriously." Fatty Qiao explained with a smile, "You are just different from those businessmen."
Although Alvin's face was calm, he sighed in his heart that this guy was very good at judging people, and he really didn't look like a businessman sometimes.
"I have been doing business all over the world for so many years. Apart from anything else, I am quite confident when it comes to people." Fatty Qiao said proudly.
"No matter whether I am a businessman or not, I may make you lose all your money." Alvin said calmly.
"Then I'll be happy with it." Fatty Qiao said with a rather shameless smile.
Fat Joe said this very quickly, and Alvin just finished speaking, and this sentence came right after him.
Perhaps it was the words "rejoicing" that made Onian laugh. She couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Alvin was also very resistant in his heart. He wished it was a girl who said this and not a fat man who could light a lamp.
"Then what do you mean, are you determined to invest in me?" Alvin's choice of words here was very subtle. He only used the word "I", not "we", and he didn't ask for anything. Refers to the meaning of universalism.
"At least throughout the entire Fuwei Empire, you are the only one who can write a poem like "Fishing Alone in the Mountains and Seas"." Fatty Qiao looked at Alvin sincerely and said.
After hearing what Fatty Qiao said, Quan Ba, Yuhao, Mouzui and others couldn't help but nodded silently. This was not an agreement with Alvin's poem, but an agreement with him as a person.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
Later, during a chat with Shen Jojo, Alvin learned that a circle with his four fingers together actually contained hundreds of thousands of runes. Alvin naturally knew that what these businessmen said could not be trusted, but he had some confidence in his heart.
Is it possible that Fat Joe is an undercover agent sent by the Philodi family? It's not impossible for him to join forces with the two brothers to put on a show.
Alvin has naturally thought about this possibility. "But as long as Fat Joe's Runes are in place, this possibility can be eliminated. You know, the Philodi family is not so kind and can spend hundreds of thousands of Runes to support itself." He thought this way.
The more critical point is that the arrogance from the inside out from the three Philodi father and son is not the superior arrogance of the nobles, but the contempt and contempt of the businessmen who have the smell of copper. , even though Fatty Joe has a slight net worth, it is estimated that the Philodi family will look down upon him. In fact, based on this alone, Alvin can roughly tell that Fat Joe and the Philodi family are not from the same family.
After all, Alvin is quite confident when it comes to understanding people's hearts.
Elvin and Onian did not plan to stay in Tilea City for too long, and were going back to Zantz the next day.
After everyone discussed last night, it was decided that Fat Joe and Mouth would continue to stay in Tilea City, while Quan Ba, Yu Hao and Alvin would return to Zanc City.
This is also done to avoid alerting the enemy. There is no need for the Philodi family to have any other ideas at this stage. Alvin insists on this.
Even though Fat Joe wanted to go to Zantz City with Alvin, but seeing Alvin's persistence, he had no choice but to accept this arrangement.
