Chapter 585: Chapter 463: Becoming an Apprentice to Learn Skills_2

For them, the real challenge was how to walk out of Weizemay Manor and the Tower of Dominion.

This could be figured out slowly; just because it couldn’t be done now didn’t mean it couldn’t be done in the future.

Before having the Tower of Dominion, not to mention Daphne and the others, even Gaven hadn’t imagined that they could one day step out of Weizemay Manor.

"Alright, since you’re so confident, there’s no need for me to be the bad guy. As for the matter of authorization, let’s settle it that way. You don’t need to drop the price on Ghost Grape Wine either, just go by the normal market price. Having a direct purchasing channel is a big help to me," Father Krewen, a hearty man, didn’t care about the spread of the Heart-Viewing Cocktail, nor did he bother about the tens of thousands of Gold Coins in profits lost each year.

Had he been so money-minded, he wouldn’t have holed up here. Right now, he valued the young man before him more and couldn’t help but eagerly ask, "Young man, are you interested in learning the art of bartending from me? The real skills, without relying on any Special Abilities."

Gaven’s impressive performance had ignited his desire to take on an apprentice.

"This..." Gaven was startled, never having expected this turn of events.

"Mr. Gaven, what’s there to hesitate about? Didn’t you just get started? All that’s left is to delve deeper into the study," someone urged.

"This is something many people would beg for and not receive; you should nod your head and agree right away."

"Mr. Gaven, what are you waiting for?"

Gaven’s hesitation immediately made the female mages and serving maids watching from the side anxious, urging him repeatedly, wanting to facilitate this good turn of events.

"Being able to learn another Transcendent technique is naturally a good thing," Gaven explained his hesitation, "but my schedule isn’t very stable. After all, I have a manor to run, which is at a critical stage of development, and I can’t follow the old man around for long periods."

"That’s not a problem. You’re not an ordinary apprentice; there’s no need to spend a lot of time polishing the basics. It’s mainly about the feeling and philosophy during the bartending process. With your experience making the Heart-Viewing Cocktail, the difficulty of getting started is not high for you. You just need to come by when you have the time." Krewen made the conditions incredibly lenient, "Honestly, with your performance just now, if you were to study by my side for a long time, I’d feel tremendous pressure. I fear that within a few days, you’d have drained all that I know."

Since the other party said so, Gaven naturally had no reason to continue to refuse. He bowed deeply and respectfully said, "Teacher."

In Felen, the formalities of taking on a teacher varied.

There were ceremonies as complicated as to be nearly pedantic, and then there were the straightforward ones that took but a single word.

Institutions dedicated to teaching were few and far between; most learning was done alongside work, and mages were no exception.

The six serving maids before him were such; they were both serving maids at the Deer Horn Pot Tavern and apprentices of Father Krewen. Gaven had seen through this from the start, which was why he hesitated; he had no time to be a male serving maid here.

Since it was learning while working, the apprenticeship formalities were not overly complicated, primarily involving a change in designation and attitude.

"Good! Good! Good!" Father Krewen laughed heartily three times, obviously not inclined towards anything more elaborate.

With that address, the relationship between the two was instantly brought much closer. It wasn’t to say they had completely melded into the new environment, but at least they were no longer purely outsiders, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and comfy.

Tavern owner Father Krewen was thoroughly intrigued by Gaven’s talent and began teaching him other bartending skills on the spot.

"Even bartending is graded, with one kind known for its flair, dazzling customers with dizzying moves, leaving them in awe. The main appeal is speed, complemented by complex techniques. The taste of the drink becomes secondary; because with such a spectacle beforehand, as long as the drink you make isn’t too bad in appearance and taste, it’s generally well-received. This type of bartending is the most common and the lowest level and, with decent dexterity, a few years of diligent practice can usually ensure a living in a tavern. Most of them here are at this stage," Krewen said, pointing to the serving maids with Ella at the forefront.

The serving maids simultaneously gave Gaven their sweetest smiles, with one even forcefully squeezing her chest, making her ample curves more imposing.

Gaven’s appeal was already substantial, and now, with the addition of being a top-tier bartending prodigy and Father Krewen’s personal disciple, his status was something they did not have.

Father Krewen had no children, and Gaven was naturally the rightful heir to the Hanging Deer Pot Tavern. Given the owner’s wealth, Gaven might not be interested, but if they could form an intimate relationship with him, bearing his child, they could use their child’s status to inherit the tavern—a desirable outcome.

These serving maids had been slogging at the bottom of society since they were capable enough to understand their world, and the tavern, notorious for its varied patrons, was sufficient to make them clearly aware of society’s viciousness, giving them a precise sense of their own status.

Dreaming of marrying into wealth was nothing but wishful thinking. Responsible men who frequented taverns were few and far between, and even less so in out-of-the-way rural taverns.
