Chapter 160 Drinking with a dragon? Sister, you still need to practice!

This platform was jointly funded and built by several chambers of commerce, specifically for docking their airships.

According to the plan, Li Ang and others were to bid farewell to the "Skylark" and Captain Odebiao and his crew here.

Nelson went to settle the rent, but at Odbiao's insistence, the Chamber of Commerce only symbolically charged the cost of magic crystals.

Li Ang and the others distributed the supplies that Nelson had purchased and that were still stored on the airship to each person equally.

It mainly consisted of dried meat that could be stored for a long time, and of course, Olivia was given five portions.

After distributing their belongings, they put on thick winter clothing over their knightly uniforms and walked down the gangway one by one, stepping onto this unfamiliar land.

The temperature here is significantly lower than in Riley City, and even our breath turns into white mist.

Their first stop was Thundertown, located at the foot of the mountains and known as the last hub before entering the Dwarven territory.

This is a town with a rugged overall style. Most of the buildings are constructed from heavy stone and large logs, making them appear sturdy and practical.

Although the town was bustling with people, the scene was quite different from that of Riley City.

Here, the number of dwarves even exceeds that of humans.

These sturdy little creatures are generally only 60 to 70 centimeters tall.

Both men and women had thick beards and hair, and they wore thick leather armor or coarse cloth clothing, with various tools or weapons hanging on their bodies.

When Li Ang and his companions first arrived, it was difficult to even discern their genders from their appearances.

"Remember, from this moment on, we are no longer law enforcement officers of the Wizard's Tower," Leon lowered his voice and emphasized again to everyone, "Our first identity now is that of guards employed by Miss Sandramea, escorting her back to Ironforge. Our second identity is that of knights she recruited, helping her seize the throne. From now on, our words and actions must be consistent with our identities."

The group mingled with the flow of people and first went to the town market to replenish their supplies of fresh fruits and vegetables, bread, and fresh water.

They then found a restaurant to have dinner.

They went into a pub and restaurant that looked popular and was called "The Furnace."

The moment you step inside, you're hit by a cacophony of noise and the rich aroma of food, mixed with the smell of alcohol.

As soon as Olivia entered, she sniffed the air and exclaimed with shining eyes, "This smells like meat! I want fresh meat!"

Having only been eating dried meat for days, she now craves fresh meat intensely.

Maya walked confidently to the counter and called out loudly in Dwarven, "Boss, give me a bucket of your purest Molten Core first!"

After ordering their drinks, Maya sat down with the others around a long wooden table, where the team members each ordered what they wanted to eat through Maya.

After all, the dwarven language is very different from their common language.

Without Maya, their first problem on this trip would have been the language barrier.

It seems that their team is indeed the most suitable team for this mission.

When the barrel of wine called Molten Core was brought up, Maya skillfully opened it. The dark red liquid sloshed inside the wooden barrel, and just smelling the strong aroma of alcohol made one's throat tighten.

Maya enthusiastically filled everyone's glasses with drinks. After making sure everyone had a drink, she, as the apparent employer, raised her heavy wooden glass first and said loudly, "To our safe arrival, to the journey ahead, my companions, cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered, "Cheers!"

"puff-!"

"Cough cough cough!"

With a toast, Maya downed the contents of her glass in one gulp and exhaled a satisfied breath.

But most people couldn't help but spray the wine out or cough violently.

Li Ang felt a burning pain in his chest. The wine didn't feel like drinking at all; it felt more like swallowing a ball of fire that burned from his throat all the way to his stomach, with a strong tingling sensation shooting straight to the top of his head.

Celia gently set down the wine glass, not touching the contents. A hint of amusement flickered in her golden eyes, clearly indicating that she knew something was amiss with the drink.

Their disheveled appearance immediately drew a burst of laughter from the surrounding dwarf drinkers and a few humans.

Of course, besides Celia, who was prepared and didn't drink, there was another person who wasn't choked by the strong liquor.

Maya looked at Olivia, who remained unfazed and continued to munch on her grilled meat, her emerald eyes filled with surprise and the excitement of a worthy opponent: "Oh? I didn't expect you to be such a good drinker!"

While munching on her grilled meat, Olivia casually took another full cup of Molten Core from Maya and gulped it down like water.

This move completely ignited Maya's competitive spirit: "Fine! Today, I'm going to have a drinking contest with you."

Olivia, now ignited by Maya's enthusiasm, declared, "Let's compete! The great Olivia accepts all challenges!"

They began to drink the strong liquor, which was essentially alcohol, glass after glass, as if it were water.

The team members were making a ruckus on the side, and Li Ang didn't stop them. In fact, he thought that this would help them integrate better into the group.

However, challenging a dragon to a drinking contest was undoubtedly a terrible mistake.

Even though Olivia is not yet an adult, her dragon-like physique is far superior to that of a dwarf.

Before long, Sandramea's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were glazed over.

His tongue started to get tied while he was speaking, and finally he blurted out "Wow!"

So she was helped to the side to rest by Elisa and Helena, who were both amused and exasperated.

Olivia, under the increasingly shocked gazes of the dwarves around her, calmly finished the barrel of Molten Core on the table.

The tavern owner, a burly dwarf with his beard braided into countless small braids, stared in disbelief, then revealed a joyful expression as if he had found a kindred spirit.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered a waiter to bring over a bucket of Molten Core, then shouted in extremely broken Common, "Well, this—this lady, is truly a god of wine descended to earth! This bucket is on me."

With Maya's dazed instigation and the presence of Li Ang and other drinkers around them, Olivia became interested, picked up the barrel of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

This move completely ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

One barrel after another of strong liquor was brought out, and Olivia accepted them all, drinking them down in droves.

She drank all the Molten Cores in the shop by herself.

Li Ang looked at the ten empty buckets on the ground, and then at her plump but still petite body, wondering where all the wine had gone.

This is neither science nor magic.

Even after drinking ten barrels of strong liquor, Olivia only had two faint blushes on her fair cheeks, while her eyes remained clear.
