《Last Wish System 》Chapter 429: World's Most Famous Madman
Advertisement
Yale's group ordered several dishes and some drinks, but the owner, who went personally to take note of their orders as they were special guests, wasn't shocked by the fact that they asked the most expensive stuff knowing that the mayor would pay.
The woman thought that it was proper that they acted like that or else the efforts of the mayor trying to be in good terms with them wouldn't be too effective.
On the other hand, she couldn't understand why they hadn't asked even for one alcoholic drink.
Almost every table had several alcoholic drinks, and those who only had one was because they didn't have money for more.
Of course, Yale's group wasn't worried about the money at all, so that wasn't the reason. Moreover, given their strength there was no way that the alcohol in the bar would have any chance to make them drunk, so even if they were doing important stuff, it shouldn't matter if they drink alcohol.
How could she know that Yale disliked the taste of alcohol, that Shiba had grown hating those who drink alcohol because someone drinking alcohol that meant free punishments for him and the other slaves, and that the bad experiences of Lina with the men were almost all with the men drinking huge quantities of alcohol?
Moreover, Eini grew to hate drunkards after learning from the previous experiences of the other two.
Although the fact of drinking didn't mean being a drunkard, their mind ended associating it and rejected alcoholic drinks unconsciously.
Thus no one of them liked to drink alcohol.
The drinks they asked weren't bad, but since none of them had alcohol, the rest of the customers didn't know their value, so they sneered at them when they saw that all the drinks in their table were without alcohol.
The drinks were served before the food, so the other customers thought that they were newbies who spent all their money on the inn and didn't have even enough to buy a beer.
As for who was serving them, they didn't notice it as they weren't paying attention, they just noticed it after the drinks were served.
If those customers sneering at Yale's group were to know that they could kill all of them in a second, they would regret their sneers at them.
Fortunately, Yale's group wasn't narrow-minded and didn't care about the actions of the other customers.

Anyway, they were doomed to be face slapped once the dishes were served, and Yale's group felt that it was enough punishment for them because they had sought it by determining that they were poor without knowing the whole situation.
Even if Yale and the others didn't act, it was just a matter of time before the food reached their table, so those customers doomed themselves to be face-slapped.
The customers stopped paying attention to them after that since the dishes still needed some time to be cooked and they didn't have any reasons to look at Yale's table.
"Have you heard it? It happened again, but this time in a neighboring city."
There were a lot of miscellaneous conversations in the bar and none of them regarding a topic that mattered for them, so they ended paying attention to a certain conversation that seemed to spoke about some problems of the world.
"Really? Is your source reliable?"
There were two men speaking not too far from Yale's group table. They were also part of the ones who mocked about Yale's group not asking alcohol drinks.
"Absolutely reliable. My big brother was in that city when it happened."
The big brother of the man who spoke was a Law Master who used to travel to commerce with neighboring cities, and since only those who were at least Law Masters dared to do something like that, it was quite profitable.
"If that big brother of yours said it, then it should be true. He is famous for being bad at lying."
Everyone who traded with that big brother was quite happy because since he couldn't lie, he didn't even try to do it, so all the trades were fair. That fact also increased his reputation and gave him a lot of customers in a lot of cities, so he was usually extremely busy traveling and had a great information network in almost all the world.
It was just due to his big brother's money that the man could drink as much as he wanted in the bar.
"You are right. If someone else said it, I might have thought that they wanted to put fear on us, but my big brother can't do something like that."
Although being honest was something usually good, it was also the source of the calamity of his family. A distinguished Law God from their original world took fancy of the big brother's daughter, and the big brother rejected the Law God bluntly which turned them into fugitives.

If he had just lied and then fled, their situation would have been so much better, and their other brothers wouldn't have died.
Only the man in the bar, his big brother, and his big brother's daughter managed to survive until reaching that world, not even the big brother's wife who was also a Law Master managed to survive. The big brother felt guilty for the calamity of his family, so he always let his brother use as much money as he wanted.
"Has it been like the other times?"
The other man was curious about the matter, and Yale's group also wanted to understand better what they were speaking.
"Indeed. The same pattern as always. A lot of material destruction, but not even a single person injured. That madman is powerful enough to cross the barriers at will, but he only chose to provoke damages in the cities instead of killing others or wiping out the city. For what my big brother felt, that person isn't a peak Law God as the rumors say, but an Essence God. The one who forced us to flee into this world was a peak Law God, and my brother felt that the madman was even stronger."
The face of the other man turned serious because as far as he knew, there wasn't any city with an Essence God living there, so no one could stop the madman.
Moreover, although the madman just provoked damages to the city, no one knew if he would change his opinion and start killing people.
"What do you think about that matter?"
Yale asked the others on his table with divine sense.
"There is something fishy about that madman. An Essence God could easily become the ruler here, and everyone would be glad of accepting it, but that person didn't seem to have any intention. Moreover, it doesn't have any sense that only acted like a punk by harming the city if he had wicked intentions. That madman should have been hiding some secret."
Lina said by divine sense while drinking.
Almost everyone in the bar spoke with divine sense or similar ways, so it wasn't strange that they didn't open their mouth while drinking in the bar. However, Yale's group could intercept other conversations easily.
"I agree with my sister! Maybe we can catch that madman and obtain the truth? He can even know some things about the Battle God if he has luck."
Eini didn't believe the last part, but she was too curious to know about the topic.
"We should first ask for more information. Those two seem a good source, so let's ask them later."
Shiba was also curious, but he could maintain the calm better that his girlfriend, who would have jumped to pursue the madman without worries of being weaker than him.
At that moment, the owner appeared with the dished and served them.
That time, the rest of the bar noticed about who was serving them and saw the most expensive dishes from the menu there.
At that moment, they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves in it because of the shame that they felt after considering the other party poor for not having asked alcoholic drinks.
The two men speaking about the madman felt in the same way and wanted to leave quickly like the rest of ashamed ones, but they didn't dare.
Seeing with how much respect the owner was treating them, it was easy to deduce that they weren't simple and leaving after being face-slapped by their own actions of mocking the other party, could offend them.
Thus, they needed to endure that humiliation. Moreover, the other party hadn't interacted with them at all, and they had still mocked about them, so they deserved their fate.
The divine sense conversations ended after that as no one was in the mood to speak and were just wanting that Yale's group left before they could also leave.
After Yale's group ended eating all the dishes, more than two hours passed since they were served.
It wasn't that they were too slow, but each time they finished something, there was already something else in the table.
Those two hours were like a living hell for the other customers who were thinking that Yale's group was doing it on purpose.
Thus, everyone was happy when Yale stood up since he seemed to be ready to leave.
However, he didn't walk towards the exit, but towards a pair of men in a near table.
"You two follow me. We need to speak in private."
The two men were scared to death hearing those words.

A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.
