After the assessment, Allen still stayed at Cambridge University, not knowing what happened in the Mage Tower, let alone that his future fate had been quietly decided.

At this moment, he was discussing with Jeffrey whether to go to the town of Cambridge tonight, find a bar, and have a few drinks secretly behind his parents' back.

Both of them are minors and have never touched alcohol before due to their strict family upbringing.

But today is a special day after all. On the one hand, Allen was successfully admitted to the Mage Tower and became a common student of the two mages. No matter what, it must be celebrated in a special way; on the other hand, Allen is about to travel far, and Jeffrey

But he will still stay at the University of Cambridge, and it may be difficult to see him again in the future.

Because of this, the promise they made when they entered school to "get drunk together until they are adults" can only be fulfilled in advance.

"As promised, you will treat me today." Jeffrey patted Allen on the shoulder with a smile.

"No problem." Allen agreed readily.

Today, his rich father was in a good mood and transferred 300,000 pounds to his account in one go. Treating Jeffrey to a drink was just a drop in the bucket.

However, just as they were about to leave the university gate, a person suddenly stopped in front of them.

"Where are you going?" Howard asked. He looked good and had a happy smile on his face.

"Go to the town of Cambridge," Allen said, "I heard there is a new bar that has opened, and we plan to go there to try it out."

"Howard, why don't you come with us? It will be a celebration banquet for you and Allen!" Jeffrey once again used his talent as a social butterfly and invited enthusiastically, "Alan is treating us!

"

"That's... I'm sorry!" Howard hesitated.

"Are you sorry?" Seeing his hesitant attitude, Jeffrey knew that this guy wanted to go but wanted to save face, so he dragged him directly onto the public carriage called by Allen and said, "Ai

Lun is in the limelight this time, and all the best resources in the Mage Tower have been taken over by this bastard. If he doesn't treat him, who will treat him? If you really feel bad about it, you can just invite him back when you two get to the Mage Tower.

Already?"

Howard couldn't resist him and had to agree.

As for Allen, he sat silently by the window of the carriage, thinking silently, "What should I do if the drunkard who calls himself Ariel comes to my door again and calls me 'Mr. Messenger' when he sees me?"

manage".

In this way, the carriage quickly arrived at the small town of Cambridge.

It was getting late at this time, and the blue moonlight was like flowing water, spreading evenly, making the atmosphere of the town quiet and peaceful.

But the three young men were still in high spirits, and were full of anticipation for their first taste of alcohol. Especially Jeffrey and Howard, who felt the blood in their arteries was faintly heating up before they even entered the bar.

The newly opened bar is called "Oak Forest". It is not large in scale and does not have many customers.

A wandering singer stood on the high platform in the middle of the bar, singing the famous song "Long Gone Days" with a unique hoarse voice.

"You can order whatever you want!" Allen asked the waiter for the menu, and then handed it to Jeffrey and Howard.

Jeffrey looked over the menu several times, thinking that Allen's advantage would not be taken advantage of, so he chose the store's relatively expensive but delicious cocktail "West Island Iced Tea".

Howard also looked over the menu several times, thinking that since someone else was treating him, he couldn't choose anything too expensive, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pay back when it was his turn to treat the guests, so he chose the cheapest honey beer in the store.

Allen smiled and said casually without even looking at the menu: "Martini, shake well, don't stir."

The waiter wrote them down one by one.

After the waiter brought the wine, Jeffrey couldn't wait to take a sip, and then passionately suggested that everyone should have a good drink tonight, and whoever falls down first will go back and confess to the old professor who teaches calculus.

Howard was thin-skinned and wanted to refuse this ridiculous proposal, but when he saw that Jeffrey was already minding his own business and started drinking, he didn't object.

As for Allen, he took his time and tasted it carefully, thinking that the wine tasted good and was indeed stronger than his favorite Fat Mansion Happy Water in his previous life.

The night is getting darker.

As time went by, they finished one drink and added another. Jeffrey's cheeks were red and he was swaying, and Howard was also tipsy and confused.

Only Allen remained absolutely awake and alert, as if what he drank was not alcohol but juice.

A few minutes later, Jeffrey and his chair fell down with a "bang".

A few minutes later, Howard also lay down on the table and fell asleep.

But Allen was still very conscious.

He knew that this was because the black crystal gave him strong mental power, making alcohol completely ineffective on his consciousness.

only……

This feeling of "everyone is drunk but I am alone" made him feel lonely again.

He raised the glass, drank the liquid in it, and never poured a new one.

The moonlight, lamplight, and candlelight reflected each other, reflecting three motionless shadows on the wall.

…………

At the same time, outside the "Oak Forest" bar.

Ariel stood in the darkness, looking at Alan sitting alone at the bar, and sighed silently.

Earlier today, he saw the news in the newspaper that "Cambridge University became Merlins and Walder students", and he immediately recognized the young man in the photo as the "Mr. Messenger" he saw on the day of the total lunar eclipse.

”.

"So, Lord Messenger's plan is to sneak into the Mage Tower as a student, contact the big shots in the Mage Tower, obtain as much authority as possible, and then use the power of the Mage Tower to revive the Dark Temple?" Ariel thought for a while,

He secretly guessed, and then sighed with admiration, "The messenger is indeed far-sighted!"

As for Allen's astonishing performance in the assessment process, Ariel took it for granted. In his opinion: The messenger should have such abilities.

He clasped his hands together and prayed silently, hoping that the "Lord Messenger" plan would go smoothly and the Dark Temple would be revived soon.

Then, tonight, when Allen's carriage approached the town of Cambridge, Ariel felt the aura of divine favor boiling in his body again.

He thought excitedly: The messenger must have made arrangements for the next step that need to be completed by me, so he made a special trip to explain it to me. This proves that the messenger values ​​me.

He also thought: This time, I must tell the messenger that I have stopped drinking for many days and lost two pounds!

But Ariel never expected that "Lord Messenger" would ignore him at all, and instead went to the bar with the two young men.

What are the identities of those two young men? Are they worthy enough for the messenger to make a special trip to drink with them?

Ariel couldn't understand, and felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

However, at this moment, when he looked at Allen's lonely figure under the moonlight and the empty wine glass in front of him, he suddenly felt that being able to get drunk during the time when he was drinking seemed to be a kind of happiness.
