I'm not just human!

The storyteller shook his head:

"I don't know about that. The nine supreme gods have been acting mysteriously for the past ten thousand years. Even I can't figure out what these nine supreme beings are trying to do..."

He seemed rather helpless and didn't continue speaking.

But the storyteller and the bard didn't notice that when the gourmet heard them talk about the "Nine Great Gods," a shadow of gloom immediately crossed his face, but he quickly and skillfully concealed it.

Of all the entities, excluding those that are being created, only the story teller and the bard, as well as the entity ranked first, are qualified to pay homage to the nine great gods.

Especially the one ranked first.

However, it seems that none of these three noticed anything amiss with the Nine Great Gods...

The gourmet forcibly suppressed these thoughts in his mind, lest they be recorded by the First History.

The bard smiled, seemingly deliberately avoiding the storyteller's question, and instead looked at the gourmet:

"Speaking of which, your method is quite good. In over 30,000 years, people have rarely seen a physical entity suffer a defeat. Reports about your confrontation with the Glutton have spread throughout the entire universe. Your anchor point has become much more stable recently, hasn't it?"

The gourmet suppressed his inner turmoil, looked up, and gave a helpless smile:

"Otherwise what? What else can I do? Go and take revenge on the newly born entity, Gluttony? If he happens to be in a state where he needs to be unbound, I'm afraid he'll just eat me up."

Just then, streaks of light appeared on the surface of the steel sightseeing boat, and the hull suddenly "pulled" out.

Immediately afterwards, the sightseeing boat, from which there was no escape, landed smoothly. The cabin doors opened, and hundreds of university students filed out, standing on the deck and looking at the three entities on the ground.

The bard also looked at the university students, his tone filled with emotion:

"Originally, I thought it was strange enough when I saw the House of Imagination and the Wall of Flesh and Blood, but I never expected that there would be such a entity that appears as a group."

The storyteller and the food critic also looked at the group of college students, their expressions either observing or scrutinizing them.

Just then, the hundreds of figures resembling college students appeared on the ground in a flash.

Their faces all showed varying degrees of excitement, and they curiously looked back at the three entities, including the storyteller and the answerer.

"Wow, is this the real thing?"

"This is the first time I've seen other entities."

"Haha, this is exciting! I've run into two of the top three entities today!"

"You must be the story teller, right? And you, are you a bard?"

"A gourmet! A legendary gourmet! Hey, since you're currently in a de-enchanted state, could you make us some delicious food that doesn't require any payment?"

Once these hundreds of entities resembling college students started speaking, the scene immediately became chaotic and noisy, as it was equivalent to hundreds of people speaking at the same time.

It even made this once desolate city seem a bit more lively.

Just then, the student council president-like figure suddenly raised his hand and then pressed it down:

"Everyone, please be quiet."

But it was no use; the other entities that looked like college students completely ignored the student council president.

The bard and the gourmet exchanged a glance, and in the end, it was the bard who plucked the strings of his lyre.

As the music began, all the entities resembling college students trembled in unison. Immediately, as if sensing the bard's unparalleled power, they shut their mouths.

It seems that even for them as physical beings, bards are not people they can afford to offend.

"I don't mean anything by it. Casual chatting is fine, and I love it. I can even tell you some past stories and secrets that you might be interested in. But right now, I have important business to attend to."

The bard spoke with a smile, but there was a chilling undertone to his words.

Immediately, the entity turned around and faced the deepest part of the city of the giant jaw beast.

It was a majestic, black mountain with an ancient mithril gate a thousand meters high on its cliff face, covered with all sorts of strange symbols, many of which were not even cryptic script.

Majestic, weathered, grand... this ancient mithril gate seems to have stood here since time immemorial, unshakeable.

Before the Ancient Mithril Gate knelt a headless deity, firmly bound by silver chains that emerged from the gate.

"Last time, we miscalculated slightly; we didn't anticipate those sudden appearances—"

The bard abruptly stopped speaking, his face showing extreme apprehension, something he hadn't shown even when mentioning the Nine Great Gods.

He then changed the subject, turning his gaze back to the group of college students in their physical form, and continued:

"But now, with your 'intelligence-reducing' rules, coupled with the fatal questions hidden within the stories by the storytellers, perhaps we..."

The bard's eyes shone brightly, almost frighteningly so, yet his voice was filled with unwavering confidence.

"...and we can succeed in one fell swoop!"

Chapter 190 My Cousin's Amazing Gift: So Many Acquaintances at Sea?

"cheers!"

Ebony wine glasses clinked together above the table, splashing golden liquid onto the orange-red roasted chicken.

The wine droplets slid down, while steam rose upwards.

Xia Fa was already a little drunk. He hadn't expected that the extraordinary wine served at Princess Shark's banquet would be so potent.

Not to mention him, even Prince Justinian and Avalon, these two angelic overlords, were somewhat drunk.

Prince Justinian tilted his head back, downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, and immediately picked up the wine bottle next to him, poured himself a full cup, and drank it down.

When he was drunk, he was nothing like his usual debonair self, and the warm and gentle smile that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze was gone from his face.

The prince of the Kingdom of Augu remained drunk, drinking one cup after another in silence.

It's said that when people get drunk, they reveal their true selves.

Xia Fa was secretly curious. It seemed that this prince, who was of noble status and powerful strength, was not as happy as he appeared on the surface.

Of course, Avalon was even more extravagant than Prince Justinian.

Avalon's thin arm was wrapped around Shafa's neck, and the posture made them look quite close.

"Xia Fa, come, let me toast you!"

A voice reeking of alcohol rang out. This usually aloof and proud mechanical genius, the number one mechanical genius of the Augu Kingdom for a century, was now flushed and reeking of alcohol, making him even more unrestrained and boisterous than a pirate.

"Xia Fa, I'm not bragging, but when you go to the Earth God Kingdom in the [Silver White Universe], just mention my name. At least for those at or below the demigod level, my name still carries weight."

Avalon patted his chest, looking quite smug, and exhaled a strong smell of alcohol.

He was so thin and frail that one might even worry that he might slap himself until he lost his breath.

"I'll be twenty-nine next year, and I've met all sorts of people—humans, demi-humans, humanoid supernatural beings... you name it. But to be honest, Xiafa, I've never met anyone quite like you. Come on, let's have another drink!"

Xiafa felt a little amused and exasperated, but seeing that Avalon was already drunk, he couldn't say anything and could only drink another cup with Him.

He never expected that beneath Avalon's naive, aloof exterior lay such a hidden side.

On the other hand, Avalon's words were all from the heart, which touched Xiafa a little.

In particular, since he was only an insect-level being on the surface, Avalon had no need to deliberately curry favor with him, and Avalon was not the kind of person who would flatter others.

In fact, this angel-level overlord showed no respect to anyone, even killing five demigods under the Howling Emperor's command without hesitation, destroying them along with their ships.

But the fact that Avalon could show such an attitude towards her made Xiafa feel quite good.

Actually, there were only five people at this table.

The demigod-level captain of the Red Pork Pufferfish

Prince Justinian and Avalon, both angels

And James, the golden-sworded angel,

In addition to myself,

According to rank and status, I should have been the first one to get drunk.

But as soon as he took the first sip, he felt that this extraordinary liquor, which looked like beer but was far spicier than vodka, was directly transformed into a continuous stream of supernatural power within his body.

It even stimulated the burning sensation in his cells, causing it to grow slightly.

However, this seems to be a one-time effect; it only provides a slight burning sensation, about the thickness of a hair, and then it has no further effect.

But perhaps for this reason, his body's ability to absorb this extraordinary wine was pushed to its limit, which is why he remained in a slightly tipsy state instead of getting completely drunk.

On the other hand, the strange current that he actively activated, which covered the cerebral cortex, also had a significant effect.

Otherwise, Xia Fa estimated that he would have been the first one to get drunk and pass out at the table long ago.

This wine is so potent that even extraordinary individuals can't withstand it.

Thinking this, he turned his head and saw that the captain of the Red Pufferfish was fast asleep on the table, his whole body reeking of alcohol.

He only drank two glasses of that golden liquid.

James was already drunk, more so than Prince Justinian and Avalon, and his speech was becoming increasingly incoherent:

"Drink! Let's drink together!"

"This...this Cardan wine...was specially brought out by the chief to entertain everyone. Normally, even I...I...the first mate, the third mate, and I...can't even get a sip!"

"Haha...Come on...let's have another drink!"

The second mate of the Shark, an angelic being, was already nearly dead drunk, but he was still trying to gulp down the golden liquor.

Cardan wine...

Upon hearing the name, Xia Fa finally understood why this wine had such a strong aftereffect.

This could certainly not be the wine brewed by Cardan, the elder of the Augustus family who recognized him as his godfather. In fact, Cardan is the name of an extraordinary fruit.

The Cardan fruit is a renowned and extraordinary fruit that can greatly increase a person's courage, strength, stamina, and mental stability in a short period of time.

Cardan's name actually comes from this extraordinary fruit.

A single Cardan fruit costs around 12,000 gold pounds and is only the size of a strawberry.

Unexpectedly, Princess Shark is so extravagant that she's willing to use Cardan fruit to make wine...

"I remember that brewing wine with extraordinary fruits is an ancient and highly skilled craft, isn't it? The slightest mistake can lead to failure, and wasting a whole barrel of extraordinary fruits is the least of your worries. If handled improperly, it could even cultivate monsters..."

Xia Fa has seen similar descriptions and records in many books on mysticism.

I wonder what kind of extraordinary wine Benedict, as a doll girl skilled in brewing, will be able to create with these extraordinary fruits...
