The carriage stopped in front of a gothic-style tavern.
Henry and Sackcloth Visitor stepped out of the carriage, following Andrew.
Entering the tavern, what Henry saw was exactly a scene out of the industrial revolution time of Europe. There was a fireplace in the lobby, and people were drinking beer and smoking cigars indoors.
The customers were talking and swearing loudly, and all they talked about were women and money. Henry suddenly had a feeling that he was time-traveled back in history.
"Are these actors?"
Henry said to Andrew with a smile.
There were a bunch of hunters talking about hunting animals and trade them with coins. Henry couldn't believe there were actually hunters who sustained their livelihood by killing animals. After all, the world was created by Recluse Association.
Andrew answered, "Of course not. You should be able to tell that their wounds are real. They were caused by animals. Come. Sit over here.
Waiter, go and bring my best liquor. I have important guests."
They sat by a table near the window. Henry's attire caused the attention of those hunters. It seemed they had never seen anyone dressed like Henry.
"Yes, Lord Garfield."
The waiter carried two large kegs of ale and several beer mugs. The mug was twenty centimeters tall and ten centimeters in diameter.
One of Andrew's Qi- controlling Realm masters poured the beer for everyone.
Andrew raised his mug and said, "Cheers! Bottoms up, folks!"
Henry did not say anything. He chugged the whole mug of beer down his throat after clinked the mugs.
It was the first time Henry had tried ale. He felt that it wasn't too different from the other beer he used to drink, only sweeter. It was because ale was brewed using a warm fermentation method.
Andrew took a loud hiccup after finishing up the whole mug of beer. He said, "It isn't too peaceful out there recently. Many groups are making troubles."
He then looked at Henry, "How do you think about Alvin League? Don't tell me you know nothing about them."
