Chapter 1: What is This Chaos?
The tavern was noisy.
But not because it was crowded.
“Haha! That’s right, bring more! No, bring everything! Let’s have a real feast tonight!”
Under the glow of the lanterns, a middle-aged man in an extravagant robe raised his voice.
Jincheon frowned.
‘What’s he trying to do, turn this place into some high-end banquet hall?’
This was nothing more than a run-down roadside inn, the kind traders stopped at to rest for the night.
It was large but old, a cheap and forgettable place where travelers came and went without fanfare.
So when the man declared that he was going to “enjoy himself properly,” Jincheon couldn’t help but find it ridiculous.
“Oh, is this the famous Shaoxing wine? The one they say was enjoyed by countless great warriors in the past?”
The middle-aged man, his beard meticulously groomed, examined the wine bottle with a sparkle in his eyes.
The innkeeper grinned widely and spoke in a lively tone.
