I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 922 - 558: Abnormal_2

This is much more than her monthly salary!

Seeing this, Lis directly stuffed the Gold Coin into Jue's hand and smiled:

"No worries, I might have some business to attend to in the coming days, so if you have time, keep my wife company."

"I see..."

Jue glanced at Taya, who was admiring the view by the window, and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, with such a beautiful wife, Mr. Lis, if she went out casually, she might be harassed by those drunkards.

Even in the inn, it's the same.

"I understand, thank you for your generosity."

"Mr. Lis, rest assured, I will pay more attention to your wife!"

Jue touched the unfamiliar feel of the Gold Coin in her hand and nodded affirmatively.

"That's good."

After Lis spoke, Jue left the room.

Seemingly having received quite a wealth, Jue left the room with much lighter steps.

Lis closed the door and fell into contemplation.

He had just subtly probed Jue but didn't get any useful clues.

Contrary to his expectations, Jue was not a descendant of some big shot.

When handing the Gold Coin to Jue, Lis could see that she was genuinely happy to receive a Gold Coin, not just pretending.

Moreover, when giving the coin to Jue, Lis noticed her slightly rough palms and the calluses on her fingers.

Unlike Taya's, they weren't left from martial training, but mere traces of daily hard work over time.

How strange?

Even if Jue didn't have any special ability, with her looks, she shouldn't have to do such work, right?

If she wanted, she could find much better work than being a hotel maid.

There must be something I haven't noticed.

"Lis, is there a problem?"

Noticing Lis's serious expression, Taya approached and said softly:

"Nothing."

Lis shook his head, looked at Taya, and said:

"I have to go out for a bit, Ya'er, you stay here in the room."

"If you want to eat something, just tell Jue. Wait for me to come back."

"Okay~"

Taya nodded without saying much.

She knew Lis probably had something to do, so she obediently stayed put, not disturbing Lis's thoughts.

Taya knew she wasn't as clever as Lis, so she decided to let him make decisions along the way, happily listening along.

Lis took out some snacks he'd prepared earlier from his storage ring and placed them on the table in the room, then turned and left the room.

...

Going downstairs, Lis noticed that the atmosphere in the bar had become much livelier.

The seats, which were only half-occupied earlier, were now almost full, and the inn servants, including Jue, were very busy serving food and drinks to the guests.

Lis glanced around and did not look for Jue, instead, he sat down at a spot beside the bar.

Behind the bar stood an old man, whose figure was particularly eye-catching under the dim light.

Unlike the servants in the inn, the old man wore a light grey short robe with some patterns on the cuffs, exuding a calm and composed air born of years.

His hair was already grey, and his complexion somewhat pale, but he looked quite spirited, chatting and laughing with guests sitting at the bar.

The old man's movements were skilled and elegant, whether mixing drinks or conversing with guests, he did so with ease. His hands, though marked by the passage of time, remained nimble and strong with each shake of the cup and every pour of the drink, like a silent performance.

Seeing Lis sit down, the elderly man behind the bar smiled and said to him:

"Would the guest like something?"

Lis glanced at the old man in front of him and nodded:

"It's my first time here, I'm not sure what's special, could you talk me through it?"

"Of course!"

The old man perked up, proudly saying to Lis:

"You've come to the right person for this, who in the city doesn't know about Old Milo and the Golden Coconut Inn?"

"I see, so Milo, you are the owner of this inn?"

Lis nodded and said to the old man in front of him.

Old Milo nodded, playing with the wine glass in his hand contentedly:

"Of course, the Golden Coconut Inn is the best inn in Ihelos City, also the best tavern."

"The drinks here are the most authentic in Ihelos!"

"How should I address you, guest?"

"You can just call me Lis."

Lis sat at the bar, watching Old Milo's hand flipping the wine glass, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Lis, is this your first time in Ihelos?"

Old Milo looked at Lis and asked with a smile.

"Yes."

Lis nodded and then said:

"I asked some people in the city, and they all recommended this inn to me."

"Of course!"

"Other places simply can't compare to my shop."

Old Milo nodded, unsurprisingly saying:

"Welcome to Ihelos, the first drink is on me."

"I recommend our signature drink, the mixed Golden Coconut Wine."

"Then I'll have a glass of that first."

Lis nodded and looked at Old Milo, saying:

"I heard the Gur Festival in Ihelos is quite special, which is why my wife and I decided to travel here."

"Old Milo, do you have any recommendations?"

"The Gur Festival, huh~"

Old Milo nodded, his shaker never stopping.

"I go every year, and our Golden Coconut Inn provides all the drinks at the Gur Festival bonfire party, always earning everyone's praise."

"There's nothing much, but at the end of the Gur Festival ritual party, there is a ceremony hosted by Lord City Master."

"After the ceremony is completed, the Divine will bestow blessings on everyone present, even outsiders, that's something not to be missed."

"As long as you receive the Divine's protection, you will be safe for the year, healthy without accidents."

"Is that so?"

Lis thought for a moment, holding back from asking information about the Divine Gull.

"Is this Divine's blessing really effective?"

"Of course!"

Old Milo glanced at Lis, his eyes showing some displeasure.

"That's the Divine who protects all of Ihelos, it's too rude of you to say that!"

"Sorry, I was just curious."

Lis took note, his expression carrying a bit of apology as he said to Old Milo:

"I've been to many places, but seldom have I seen a Divine who bestows blessings on outsiders as well."

"Truly a merciful Divine!"

"Of course!"

Old Milo's face lit up with pride as he nodded and said.

"So, even though there are many celebrations during the day, with many great activities within Ihelos City, the evening's celebration party is still the most important."

After saying this, Old Milo poured the golden liquid from the shaker into a wine glass and handed it to Lis.

Lis took the glass, tasted a sip, nodded and said: "Is it really effective?"

"Of course!"

Old Milo glanced at Lis, his eyes showing some displeasure.

"That's the Divine who protects all of Ihelos, it's too rude of you to say that!"

"Sorry, I was just curious."

Lis took note, his expression carrying a bit of apology as he said to Old Milo:

"I've been to many places, but seldom have I seen a Divine who bestows blessings on outsiders as well."

After saying this, Old Milo poured the golden liquid from the shaker into a wine glass and handed it to Lis.

Lis took the glass, tasted a sip, nodded and said:
