This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

"Oh, of course, what would you like to drink?" Leona's eyes lit up. "I've been eating the whole time and completely forgot about this. We definitely need to have something to drink after we finish eating."

“Oh, by the way, Flora is in a state where she can get drunk right now, I think it’s worth experiencing,” Rebecca said with a smile. “So, Flora, are you ready for your first time getting drunk?”

"Huh? I...I didn't want to drink alcohol..." Flora said, feeling wronged. "I just wanted to have some local drinks..."

"You're an adult, what's wrong with that!" Leona waved her hand generously. "Come on, come on, I'll carry you back to the hotel if you get drunk today! If you throw up, ABC will clean up for you!"

"I won't throw up!" Flora blushed. "That would be too embarrassing!"

"Then why don't you give it a try?" Leona smiled smugly, seeing that Flora was already somewhat interested. "The sun is about to set now, let's find a tavern with a good atmosphere, have some drinks and dinner, and then we can stay until we go back tonight!"

"Leona, you're not jealous anymore?" Sophia asked Leona through their shared thoughts. "If Flora gets drunk, Abyss will definitely take care of her, right? In our Dark Elf world, these kinds of scenarios usually end up together the next day..."

“No, I’m not worried about ABC at all, and I’ve come to terms with it,” Leona replied. “Flora is being taken care of by ABC now, and I’ll fight for my own opportunities in the future! Anyway, I’m already dead, so what’s there to be afraid of?”

"So open-minded?" Sofia exclaimed in admiration.

"Wow, Leona, this isn't like you at all! Did the sun rise in the west today? You actually admitted to liking the Abyss? My God, I have to write this down in my journal." Rebecca was quite surprised.

“Who likes him!” Leona retorted immediately. “I…I just want to be taken care of by ABC! He…he dug me out of my grave, so he has to be responsible for me until I’m buried again! What are you laughing at! They both saw it! Stop laughing!”

"Did I just hear Sophia say that Leona is magnanimous? What did Leona say?" Abyss's question echoed in everyone's minds at that moment.

"Sophia! You're talking on the public channel again!" Leona's voice was filled with gritted teeth, even when she was sharing her thoughts.

Chapter 376 Flora's Slight Intoxication

While on vacation with Flora, everyone noticed that although Flora was in a good mood throughout, she was still a little reserved.

This might be because she had always been worried about everyone's safety and defeating the evil god, and had developed this habit of being a worrier.

So, everyone quickly reached a consensus: tonight, let Flora drink a little more to give her a chance to completely relax.

Alcohol cannot eliminate negative emotions, but it can temporarily free people from self-imposed constraints.

For people with bad character, alcohol is a bad thing, allowing their terrible nature to be fully unleashed when drunk—but for someone as well-behaved and gentle as Flora, alcohol may not necessarily be a bad thing.

"Flora, remember not to drink too fast. You haven't drunk much alcohol before, and suddenly drinking a lot all at once will be too much for your body to handle," Abis reminded Flora.

"Yes, I won't drink much," Flora nodded. "What does it feel like to be drunk? Is it uncomfortable or comfortable?"

Rebecca told Flora, “You’ll feel awful when you’re drunk, but your mind will be very relaxed. I don’t usually approve of alcoholism; it turns some smart people into idiots—but I think you should try it out. Actually, there are benefits to being a fool once in a while.”

"It's good to be confused sometimes! Today, we'll have ABC carry all five of us back," Leona egged on from the side.

Abyss and his party have now arrived at a tavern in town. It's not the most upscale tavern in town, but its advantage is that there aren't many mercenary customers. If those rude mercenaries saw Abyss drinking with a large group of pretty girls, they probably wouldn't have a moment's peace tonight.

Just now, a few drunk mercenaries who were drinking in the shop tried to cause trouble, but Sophia kicked them all under the table with her long legs. Afterwards, Sophia was a little aggrieved, saying that she doesn't usually hit men.

Flora doesn't usually like drinking alcohol; she's never liked the strong taste of it. But today, she'd like to try drinking a little more.

"This is for you, Flora. It's a local specialty, a wine made with fruit and flower essential oils. It has a very delicate flavor and isn't overpowering." Rebecca returned from the front desk at that moment, holding a glass of pink wine.

"Thank you." Flora took the glass of wine and curiously smelled its aroma.

The color of this drink was beautiful, and the taste wasn't as strong as Flora had expected; it didn't even seem like a typical drink. The delicate floral aroma made her want to give it a try. This tavern wasn't as upscale as the dwarf tavern in Golden Griffin City, but the quality of the drinks seemed just as good.

"Flora, cheers!" Leona said, extending a large glass of bubbling ale to Flora.

"Cheers!" Flora took a deep breath and clinked her drink with Leona's.

Leona chuckled and took big gulps of the ale.

Flora also brought her wine glass to her lips and took a small sip.

It smells so sweet.

Her eyes widened slightly; the wine tasted really good.

This drink was completely different from the one she had at the tavern in Golden Griffin City. It was very smooth and mellow, without any of the unruly nature of alcohol. Flora drank half of the drink without any effort.

"So, Flora, this drink tastes pretty good, doesn't it?" Rebecca said with a smile. "I think it'll suit you perfectly. But be careful, although this drink tastes very smooth, it's actually quite strong. You'll get drunk easily and become much bolder than usual. Whether you cause any trouble while drunk depends on your self-control."

"Would that be true?" Flora hesitated for a moment, but still took a sip. The wine tasted so good that even Flora, who wasn't usually interested in alcohol, became a little greedy.

"It's alright, Flora, drink as much as you want. Even if you get drunk, I'll take care of you." Abyss wasn't drinking anymore, but eating the snacks Leona had bought at the market earlier. "I won't drink much tonight, just to take care of you."

The body Abyss is currently using is modeled after an ordinary person, so unlike his original body, he can't drink alcohol or get alcohol poisoning. Therefore, he doesn't plan to drink too much in order to stay sober at all times.

Agnes, like him, had little interest in alcohol—she had bought a large jar of honey from Salt Lake Town at the market and was now drinking it spoonful by spoonful.

Sofia and Leona drank and played drinking games with great enthusiasm; both of them were big drinkers.

Rebecca, on the other hand, took on the role of serving everyone instead of Flora, bringing Sofia and Leona drinks one glass after another, and occasionally refilling Flora's glass as well.

……

Everyone ate and drank in the tavern, and Abyss would sometimes pick up his lute and play a tune for them. Happy times always pass quickly, and soon it was evening. The sun had set outside, and the lights in the tavern were lit.

"I think... I'm a little drunk..." Flora finished another glass of wine, her face flushed and a satisfied smile on her face. "This wine is delicious... I want to have some more."

"How many cups have you had?" Abis asked with a smile.

“I…I don’t remember.” Flora slumped lazily on the table, glancing at Abyss. “There were probably more than ten cups…”

"You've drunk so much, Flora! Wow, that's impressive. I thought you'd give up after a few drinks." Leona, her face covered in slips of paper, was playing rock-paper-scissors with Sofia. She seemed quite surprised to hear that Flora had drunk so much.

"Hmm... because I really love the aroma of this wine..." Flora nodded, swaying as she tried to stand up. "I'll go get another one... what's the name of that wine?"

"No, no, no, Flora, sit down. You're so drunk. Let me get the drinks." Rebecca quickly stood up, pressed Flora's shoulder to make her sit down, and walked towards the bar.

Abyss narrowed his eyes as he watched Rebecca's retreating figure.

Why was Rebecca in such a hurry to get the wine for Flora?

“Rebecca, I have a feeling you’re hiding something…can you tell me?” His voice rang out in the shared thought process.

"Haha, you figured it out?" Rebecca turned around and gave Abyss an approving look. "I'm telling you, but don't tell Flora—I didn't give her any alcohol at all. She drank a local soft drink, just with some floral notes to make her feel happy and relaxed. Flora looks drunk, but she just thinks she is. It's true: it's not the alcohol that makes people drunk, it's the person who makes them drunk."

Chapter 377 It's not the wine that intoxicates, it's the person who gets drunk.

“Oh? You’re so naughty,” Abyss said with a laugh.

"Huh? How can Flora be so drunk? Her ears are all red!" Leona couldn't believe her eyes. "Is her alcohol tolerance negative? How can she get drunk without drinking?"

“I’m not bad!” Rebecca laughed. “Abyss, you’ll see how good I am tonight.”

"Oh, you don't mean you want Flora and Abyss to..." Sophia was shocked. "Then... then can I watch? Ah, I don't mean by the bedside, just hide and peek, is that okay?"

“No, that won’t do,” Rebecca said. “Besides, that’s not what I’m thinking. I think Abyss would understand my intentions more easily.”

“Yes, I understand.” Abyss smiled as well.

Sofia looked puzzled again: "Huh?? What's that?"

Abis certainly didn't expect anything adult to happen between him and Flora tonight. Not only did he not have much desire for such things, but Flora herself wouldn't either.

Flora longs for love, but she desires a beautiful, mutual affection, not a superficial romantic relationship based solely on physical intimacy.

Pure but not naive—this was the education she received from His Holiness the Pope from a young age.

She had never been in a relationship, but she knew perfectly well that physical intimacy could solidify love, but it was by no means the key to maintaining a relationship.

Some girls may try to use their bodies to hold onto their partners when they are in a relationship, but such relationships never have a happy ending.

Sex is neither dirty nor taboo, but this concept should not be used as an excuse for anyone—women in patriarchal societies or men in matriarchal societies like the Dark Elves—to belittle themselves.

Abyss also knew perfectly well that even if Flora was truly drunk, she would absolutely maintain her self-respect.

Rather, this is the real Flora, the Flora that the Abyss desired.

If there were any circumstances that would lead Flora to give her beautiful first time to the Abyss, it would certainly be when both were sober, the atmosphere was romantic, and they were deeply in love.

Tonight is clearly not the right time.

What Flora needs tonight is an opportunity to sincerely entrust her feelings and thoughts to someone.

"Oh, I understand!" Leona also understood what Rebecca meant. Although she didn't like to think things through, she knew Flora very well.

“I understand.” Agnes didn’t understand at all.

"No, you guys have to tell me tonight why human romance is so complicated!" Sophia still didn't understand, but her priority now was to get Leona to have more slips of paper on her face than she did, so she didn't plan to press for answers now.

"Abyss...do you think I'm annoying when I'm drunk?" Flora asked, slumped over the table and nibbling at Abyss beside her.

Abis smiled and touched Flora's flushed cheek: "Aren't you alright? You haven't acted like a drunkard at all."

"If I'm different from usual, will you feel like you don't like me as much?" Flora pressed on.

“I like you not for how you act every day, but for who you are,” Abyss shrugged. “As long as you’re as kind as ever, that’s enough.”

"Hehe..." Flora got the answer she wanted and showed a slightly naive smile.

She snuggled closer to the Abyss, resting her head on his arm which was resting on the table.

Since we're already drunk, we might as well relax a bit.

That's what Flora thought.

"The wine's here, Flora, have some more." Rebecca returned to the table with a smile, carrying two glasses of "wine" and placing them in front of Flora.

"Thank you, Rebecca." Flora took a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

“There’s one more glass, but this is the last one. You’re already too drunk. If you drink any more, you might pass out,” Rebecca said.

Everyone knew the unspoken truth: Flora thought she was completely drunk, but in reality, she hadn't been drinking at all.

“Okay, I understand. Let’s finish this drink… then we’ll go back… I want to get some rest.” Flora nodded and said.

"So, Flora, how did you enjoy your day? Did you have fun?" Rebecca asked.

Flora thought for a moment, then said confidently, "Yes, I had a great day. Abyss accompanied me shopping, and we even met the strange son of the town's lord. I helped him avoid an unpleasant relationship. I feel like today was very worthwhile."

Flora is happy as long as she helps others; she is a very selfless person.

"You must be very tired today. Make sure ABC takes good care of you when you get back." As Leona spoke, the notes that Sophia had stuck to her face bounced with her voice.

“Of course, I will take good care of Flora. She’s drunk tonight, so I can grant her any request.” Abyss patted Flora’s head, making her squint her eyes in comfort.

So happy...
