I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 50 I Found You
"Char, what's wrong with Alicia?
It's past ten o'clock, why are you still covered in the quilt and still not waking up?

I can't wake up no matter how much I cry, is it because the previous illness has not healed? "

Arthur stood at Shaar's door and said worriedly that since the head of the orphanage who was closest to him died, he was very afraid of death, so he was always worried about Alicia's body.

Xia Ya is sitting in front of the workbench and fiddling with something. He has placed some wine he bought from the imperial capital, some imported rum, and some sugar.

"She's fine." Xia Ya said while busy with the things in his hand, "Have you ever heard of a saying?"

"What?" Arthur asked.

"You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep." Shaar teased.

"Are you saying that Alicia is pretending to be asleep?" Arthur asked with some doubts, "Why is she pretending to be asleep?"

"People always want to sleep for a while, don't they?" Xia Ya said.

Arthur nodded, "Then when will she get up?"

"Wait for her. Reconcile with yourself last night."

Shaar murmured softly, saying that he had already finished what he wanted to concoct. He picked up the drink in front of him and took a sip, then nodded in satisfaction.

With a wave of his hand, all the tools and wine on the table disappeared without a trace.

"Reconciliation?" Arthur was even more puzzled, "Did she do anything last night?"

But Shaar had already walked downstairs through him, without answering his hundred thousand whys.

Sonny was running up the stairs. For this lion cub, the stairs seemed a bit high, and it was a bit difficult to climb.

Seeing Xia coming down, it looked at Xia with longing eyes, expecting him to take him up, but Xia directly ignored it.

He picked up one side of the coat hanging on the stairs, and said to Alicia who was behind the curtain under the stairs.

"I will be going out for awhile."

"Whoa~"

The curtain was pulled open, and Alicia wrapped herself in the quilt behind the curtain, only revealing a pair of eyes. The sapphire-like eyes gave people a quiet, calm and gorgeous feeling.

This was the first time Xiaya observed her eyes carefully.

"How much do you remember about what happened last night?"

Xia looked at her with some "doubts", "Didn't we go to the banquet together last night?"

"That's what I said." Alicia bit her lip, "How much do you remember of what I said last night?"

Shaar frowned slightly, and said as if trying to remember.

"The voice was too loud at the time, and I couldn't hear it clearly. Are you talking about something important?

Or you can tell me again. "

"No, no!" Alicia said quickly, "It's not important, it's not important at all!"

Xiaya smiled deeply, "Is that so?"

He turned around, "Then I'll go first."

With the slam of the door, Alicia, who confirmed that Char had left, pulled the curtain back again.

She curled up her limbs, buried her whole face in the quilt, and her ears were red and hot.

"What the hell did I do..."

Calcifer, who was sitting on the stove, witnessed all this, he looked at the door, and then at the curtain on one side, his eyes tilted with some doubts.

Human beings are such a difficult thing to understand.

Shaar walked out of the gate of Eagle Point Port, and he learned the identity of the old man last night, or in other words, the identity of the old man in this small town.

He was begging on the east coast, and people's impression of him was that he was a drunkard all day long, and all the money from begging would eventually be used to buy alcohol.

He basically lay down in one place and basked in the sun every day, so Shaar found him almost in a short time.

He was lying in the corner, taking a nap with his eyes closed, still smelled of alcohol, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked slightly drunk.

"I think I have some ideas that are different from yours." Shaar said.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, crossed his arms around his chest, and looked at him with great interest.

"You're right, life is really meaningless." Shaar said.

"The history of human existence can be traced back to a long time ago, maybe only a few hundred thousand years, but the stars in the sky have existed for billions of years. Human beings are nothing more than insignificant dust to the universe.

One day we will be forgotten by people, by this world. "

After a pause, he continued.

"However, in this reality, every day that people live is more precious.

In other words, living is the meaning of life.

Because of the limited life, people will pursue the meaning of life, and the process of pursuit is part of the meaning.

I see what you mean, praise life, accept its vagaries, face all sorrows with indulgence.

But I think that the beauty of life is definitely not just about indulgence, and the fun of drinking should not just be about getting drunk. "

Shaar raised his hand, and a glass appeared in his hand, the liquid poured out of the glass automatically, and he handed the glass to the old man.

The old man took the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, the taste was cool and refreshing, sweet and sour, giving people a clear feeling, his eyes were slightly bright, looking at the wine glass in his hand and said.

"what is this?"

"A mixed wine, I call it a cocktail." Char said.

This wine is all ordinary wine bought from the imperial capital, and naturally it cannot be compared with the wine brewed by Dionysus, but the beauty of innovation and imagination behind it is common.

The old man seemed very interested in this wine, and he took another sip of the wine, "It tastes like light rum, the mint makes the whole refreshing, and the collision of lime and wine is very eye-catching.

There is also a taste that I have never tasted before, the tiny bubbles pop in the mouth, it is a stroke of magic, it is very interesting. "

"That's called soda." Xia raised his eyebrows and said, "My exclusive secret recipe."

"Interesting, very interesting."

The old man looked at the wine glass with burning eyes, "When different wines are mixed with some things, there is such an interesting taste.

You have invented a new wine.

Blending wines from different places creates a new and interesting experience. It is really a gorgeous and free wine. "

He raised his head and looked at Shaar.

"You should not only be able to make this kind of cocktail."

"I know many recipes, and this is just one of them. I named it "Mojito"." Char said, "It's not the best drink yet."

When it is difficult to find a job in your major, you will always be forced to learn some other skills, bartending is one of them.

"I seem to understand what you mean."

The old man drank the rest of the wine in the glass.

"This wine brought me a kind of pleasure other than drunkenness, such as the changing seasons and the elusive girlish heart."

The old man looked at him quietly, with wisdom in his bright eyes, "Can you teach me? I am also very interested in the water you mentioned, as if there is an elf jumping in the mouth."

Xia thought for a while and said, "I want to open a bar and sell this kind of wine, but I still need a bartender."

"You want to hire me?"

The old man grinned slowly and laughed at himself.

"Hire a beggar who can only drink?"

Shaar showed a slight smile, his eyes shifted, "I think, please come, my bar should at least not lose money.

And you look like you have a lot of time, don't you?
I can teach you every recipe I know and provide you with unlimited soda. "

The old man nodded and murmured softly.

"It's really a bargaining chip that people can't refuse."

After a pause, he said, "I can promise you, but I still have some things to do, but I will be back before your store opens.

By the way, you haven't found the source of the wine you sell, have you? "

"Not yet." Shaar said.

"Then you don't have to go. When I come back, I will take you to a good place." He said.

Xia said with a smile, "Looking forward to your arrival, Mister Dionysus."

"I don't use that name a long time ago," said the old man. "Now, I'm just a wanderer lingering in this era. You can call me Semele. That's where I come from."

As he spoke, he struggled to get up from the ground, and walked towards the end of the alley, limping a little, as if he was still on a slope.

No one would think that such a disabled beggar could ever be a powerful god.

Xiaya saw the end of an era in him.

He hadn't planned to invite this bartender to be his bartender, and even the idea of ​​opening a bar had just appeared.

The reason why he made a cocktail to give this existence a taste was also influenced by yesterday's Dionysus Festival, and he just discovered a natural soda water spring not long ago, so he wanted to try it with itchy hands.

Compared to Alicia and Arthur, it is naturally for people who know how to drink.

Of course, he came mainly to make friends.

After all, one more friend is one more way. In this strange world, there is no harm in making some great friends.

When he just said "one bartender is missing", there are actually some words behind, which roughly means that when he recruits a suitable person, he can also come and learn together when teaching this bartender.

But I didn't expect that before he finished speaking, the God of Dionysus took over the words, and Shaar naturally had to follow his words.

I really didn't expect it to work.

For his existence at this level, some mundane things should already be insignificant, but he pursues something more pure, and his cocktail just touched this point.

Xiaya is not worried about him leaving midway, after all, there are no cocktails in this era, as a drink that has been practiced in the market, it is only a matter of time before it becomes popular, and it won't take long for it to pay back.

And he wasn't doing it to make money.

Watching the old man's back completely disappear before his eyes, Shaar smiled, and then walked the same way to return to his castle.

He walked through a few alleys, crossed the street, and suddenly, he stopped.

He exhaled lightly, then raised his head to look at the roof of the house on one side.

There, a woman with a huge hat on her head was watching him, and slowly grinned.

"Little Xia, I have found you."
