Chapter 331 - Takeout?
Burlock was stumped for words that his face has turned green from shame. Zagan’s words were spot on and although he was missing a few things, his deduction was still close to the truth.
Physoris and the other Demon Lords were also surprised by Zagan’s confident words and they could not help but reassess this seemingly idiotic giant demon.
"You... you... baseless assumptions!" Burlock blurted out with a red face.
Zagan shrugged his shoulders and said with a careless smile. "Whether I’m speaking the truth or not, you know it in your heart, Burlock."
"Enough! The both of you are still Demon Lords under Demon Ancestor Jun. Don’t make things irreconcilable between both of you!" Azgonoth said with a stern voice. He wasn’t as smart as Zagan, but he was a lot stronger than the giant and his words still carried some weight as the leader of the five Demon Lords in Morlon City.
Burlock took a deep breath as he held back the urge to beat up the giant Zagan. He also gratefully nodded at Azgonoth who nodded back at him in response.
"Brother Burlock, since you are an employee of this store, could you tell us more about this wine? If I’m not wrong, it is capable of making someone attain the level of Weapon Intent." Physoris changed the topic to ease up the atmosphere.
Burlock glanced at the curvaceous demoness with a smile and nodded his head at her. "Indeed! Lady is Physoris is right! Although I have only recently become an employee of the store, I was also lucky enough to drink the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit. As Lady Physoris said, this wine is indeed capable of making anyone comprehend the Weapon Intent level in just a cup or two! Aside from that, I also discovered that this wine is also able to enhance one’s physical body by a small margin. The enhancement might be negligible to someone at our level, but if experts beneath the Demon Lord level are to consume this wine, the increase in their physical strength would be huge."
The faces of Physoris and the other Demon Lords lit up as Burlock explained the effects of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit in great detail.
"If it is as Brother Burlock says, then the value of this Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit is enormous! If we let our subordinates consume a bottle, we would have a huge number of experts at the Weapon Intent level!" Zorzoch said excitedly.
"Brother Burlock, I’d like to order 100 of this for takeout! Please wrap up everything for me! Money is not a problem!" Zorzoch said with a smile. Although he would have to spend a huge amount of Blood Stones to purchase 100 Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit, Zorzoch felt that it was worth the price. With a hundred bottles of the wine, he could train a hundred elites in just a single day! Just the thought of it made his eyes twinkle in excitement.
"Brother Burlock, I’ll also order 100 bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit for takeout and I’m willing to pay 50% more than the original price as an apology to Brother Burlock. What do you think?" Zagan said with a smile. He has a lot of bad histories with Burlock, but for the sake of profit and to get the magical wines, he was willing to bleed his pockets dry.
Burlock could not help but be moved when he heard the offers of the two Demon Lords, but he remained quiet. He wasn’t so sure about the rules of the store, so he felt hesitant.
"Brother Burlock, I would also like to order 300 bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit. And I’m more than willing to pay higher than the original price if you say so." Physoris said as she winked coquettishly at Burlock.
Azgonoth glanced at Burlock and also offered. "Brother Burlock, I’m not as rich as Lady Physoris, so I can only order 250 bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit."
"This..." Burlock was at loss for words as he mentally calculated the Blood Stones he could earn if he accepts this transaction, but before he could say anything, he saw Meimei walking towards them.
All eyes were on Meimei, but she remained smiling as she looked at the Demon Lords. "My apologies, dear guests, but without a VIP Card, you can’t order a takeout. And even if you had one, the master only allows a VIP Cardholder to order twenty Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit for takeout. As for the reason, this wine is incredibly difficult to brew, and even with my master’s unparalleled winemaking skills, he could not make a lot of it in a single day. I hope the honored guests can understand our difficulties." Meimei smiled apologetically at them.
"This..."
The Demon Lords felt that it was a pity, but they also thought that what Meimei had spoken was most likely true. A wine that can make someone comprehend Weapon Intent should be not easy to refine. However, they weren’t disheartened by this. Since the store is selling it, then they could just let their subordinates come here to buy it themselves.
"Since that’s the case, we shall not impose on you anymore, Little Sister Meimei." Physoris smiled charmingly at Meimei.
Seeing that they weren’t raising a fuss, Meimei nodded her head contentedly. She then spun and glanced at Burlock with a meaningful look as she muttered silently to him. "Good job! You did not lose face for the master. If the guests are unruly, you can do so as you wish." She then patted Burlock’s back before leaving him standing in his spot with a blank look.
The little girl actually praised him for talking back to Zagan, but he also inwardly felt great about it. All the indignance he felt about Meimei was abruptly extinguished from that moment.
After finishing all their wines, the four Demon Lords left the store with satisfied looks. Although they felt that it was a pity that they did not see the owner, they did not think too much about it. After all, they can just visit the store another day.
The four Demon Lords stepped out of the gates and they could not help but glance at the lotus building a few more times. They truly did not expect things to end this way, but they were still satisfied that their visit wasn’t wasted. In fact, they benefited a great deal this time.
"Brother Azgonoth, should we report this to Demon Ancestor Jun?" Zorzoch asked as he glanced at the spiritual plants outside the lotus building with a look of regret.
Azgonoth thought for a moment before he nodded his head. "This matter is too big to keep for ourselves and since this store is open to anyone, news about it will soon be discovered by everyone in Morlon City. We might as well report our findings to the Demon Ancestor. If he comes here in person, the mysterious owner of the wine store might even come out to greet him. We would also gain some benefits from the Demon Ancestor if we tell him about this mysterious expert. Not to mention the value of the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit sold in his store."
Physoris and the other two nodded their heads in agreement.
"What do you think, Brother Zagan?" Azgonoth raised his head and stared at the giant demon. This giant had gained his admiration for his intelligence and crafty mind, and asking for his opinion wasn’t a bad thing.
Zagan was surprised that the proud Azgonoth was actually asking for his opinion, but he still pondered for a moment before he answered. "I agree with your words, Brother Azgonoth. Informing the Demon Ancestor about this would earn us some merits and we would also learn more about the owner of the store once he comes out to greet the Demon Ancestor. And if His Majesty learns about this, we would also earn more since we are the first ones to discover the store."
The eyes of Azgonoth, Physoris, and Zorzoch lit up when they heard Zagan’s opinion. With His Majesty’s wealth and influence, it wasn’t a problem for him to reward his subordinates with precious resources for this valuable piece of information.
"In that case, I’ll ask Brother Zagan to explain this to the Demon Ancestor. You two don’t have a problem with my arrangement, right?" Azgonoth was also moved, so he decided to give the job of passing the information to Zagan.
Physoris and Zorzoch shook their heads with smiles on their faces. They also thought that Zagan was the perfect person to pass this information to the Demon Ancestor.
"Since you three trust me this much, then I shall thicken my face and agree to this." Zagan smiled humbly as he cupped his fists at them. He would stand to benefit more if he would be the one to pass the information.
"Let’s go, we’ll follow you to the Demon Ancestor’s dwelling place." Azgonoth said as he patted the giant’s shoulder with a rare smile.
The group left with their subordinates after that brief moment of conversation.
