There were not many people in the alley in the early morning. Lilith sat slumped in a chair at the door, basking in the sun comfortably.

She looked boredly at a carriage in the alley. It seemed to be delivering wine to the tavern. The carriage was loaded with wine barrels. Several strong men were carefully unloading the goods and delivering them to the tavern one by one.

The carriage was getting closer and closer. Lilith was afraid that she would be in the way, so she stood up and retreated to the steps in front of the store.

"Lilith!"

Lilith turned around and found a thin figure among the several strong adults - it was Lucas. The autumn in Goletia was already a little cold, but he was still wearing a short shirt. He had been moving goods for who knows how long, and was sweating all over. His hair was also wet with sweat and became clumps. He didn't care about his embarrassment at all, and greeted Lilith with a smile.

"Lucas?" Lilith was a little surprised. "Don't you work at the Bremen restaurant on weekends?" People are afraid of comparison. After seeing Daniel's smiling face but hiding a dagger, she suddenly felt that Lucas was not so annoying.

Lucas had just finished carrying a barrel of wine into the tavern and was waiting for the driver to hand him the next barrel. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "It won't be busy until around noon. I can do the delivery work to the tavern before then. I can earn 1 silver coin for carrying a barrel. This is a good job that you can get every day. ... What's wrong with your face?"

"...You were so quick yesterday." He looked like that and knew nothing about what was going on on the playground. "It's just a small matter, don't ask." She didn't want one more person to know about her story of killing one hundred enemies but losing three thousand of her own.

Just at this moment, Antonio had found all the goods that Lilith wanted. He used the levitation technique to send a large pile of flower pots out of the store and placed them at Lilith's feet, half a person's height.

Lucas' eyes lit up, "Lilith, do you need delivery service?" The boy was sweating all over and looked at Lilith with anticipation.

Lilith wanted to say that she now had a space ring and didn't need this kind of labor, but seeing the boy's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse. "Okay." Taking care of a classmate's business is a good deed for the day.

Lucas was very happy, "Can you wait for me for a while? There are two more trucks of wine to be unloaded." As he spoke, he carried the barrels towards a tavern with red maple leaves printed on it, and kept looking back at Lilith, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Lilith had no choice but to walk into the tavern.

There were no customers in the tavern during the day, and the chairs were still upside down on the tables. Lilith sat at the bar, looking around curiously at a place she had never been to in her two lifetimes. The wine glasses in the bar were piled up like a small mountain, and there were also overturned wine barrels inside, with the names of the wines on the signs. Lilith looked at them one by one, wanting to see if there was any Shelley wine from her hometown.

"It's too early to be curious about this now, little girl. I can't sell you wine." A lazy voice came from the side. A lady carried a pile of newly washed cups and put them on the pile of cups. Then she turned around and looked at Lilith, raised her eyebrows and said, "Is your face a new trend of Goletia?"

Lilith nodded seriously, "Yes!" This is a rare skin, no one else has it!

The lady seemed to have just had a hangover, her face was still swollen, but she still exuded the charm of a mature woman. She put one hand on her waist and looked at Lilith with a smile, "I can't sell you wine, but breakfast is still okay. How about sausages and fried eggs? They will definitely taste better than the ones in your cafeteria."

Only then did Lilith remember that she had not had breakfast yet, and she suddenly felt hungry. She nodded happily.

"Madam, is Shelley wine not selling well in Goletia?" The heir of Shelley Brewery finally remembered to care about her own business and chatted with the tavern owner while eating breakfast. She took a bite of the fried egg, which was runny on one side.

"What kind of wine?" the lady asked in confusion, wiping the glass.

...No way, is our wine so unreputable? Lilith was a little embarrassed. "Yes, there is a wine made from Shelley fruit in our hometown, which is delicious..."

"Oh..." The lady boss pretended to understand something. "Well, I heard customers from other places talking about it. But Shelley is too far away from Gloria, little girl. No one would transport wine from that far to sell."

Then she told Lilith about the preservation of wine, and Lilith suddenly realized that wine in this era generally cannot be stored for a long time. Some red wines can barely last for half a year if they are well preserved. If it is beer, it will go bad after more than 3 days. The poor are reluctant to throw it away, and will add spices to it to cover up the sour taste and continue to drink it, and finally even use it as vinegar.

Therefore, most taverns only purchase wine produced in nearby towns to reduce costs and losses.

"I see, what a pity." Lilith sighed. It seems that the alcohol content is not high enough, and there are difficulties in transportation and storage... No wonder Shelley wine is only sold in a few nearby cities, and Tanding County is the farthest.

The boss lady was indeed in the service industry. She could always find the right topics to chat with even a little girl like Lilith, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze and extremely comfortable. So when Lucas finished his work and came over, Lilith had already chatted with him and they were almost close friends regardless of age.

"Goodbye Daisy! Next time I go home, I will bring you some wine from Shelley Town. You will definitely like it!" Lilith's face turned red, as if she was intoxicated by the lingering aroma of wine from the proprietress.

"Of course Lilith, the grain wine you mentioned sounds very interesting. If you really make it, maybe we can cooperate in the future." Daisy also smiled. She didn't think it was the child's wild and imaginative nonsense at all, but took it seriously, making people feel extremely comfortable and respected.

After the two said goodbye reluctantly, Lucas grabbed his coat and wiped the sweat off his face, then neatly tied up the flower pots according to his habit and picked them up.

"Lead the way." The boy, whose face was blocked by the flowerpot, seemed to be always full of energy. It was rare for the two to have such a friendly atmosphere.

——As a result, they started arguing after walking for a while because of their inconsistent pace.

"Hurry up, Lilith, you're too slow!" Lucas muttered behind the flower pot. He had to wait for Lilith every time he walked a distance, and soon he lost his patience.

"If you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out." Lilith still maintained a slow pace, but in fact she couldn't walk fast.

Seeing that Lucas frequently looked at the big clock tower in the city, Lilith stopped making things difficult for him and said, "No. 17 in the alley ahead is my home." Seeing that he looked like a monkey with a burning butt, she knew that Lucas would be late for his work as a waiter.

Sure enough, Lucas rushed in without hesitation, holding the flowerpot.

Lilith pouted and continued to walk slowly at her own pace. She thought she would soon run into Lucas on his way back, but when she arrived at the door of her house, she found that the blue-haired boy was still standing blankly at her door.

"Lilith, is this your house? It's so big and beautiful..." Lucas said with envy. "How much does it cost?"

Lilith looked at Lucas's expression and suddenly realized——

"So you work so hard just to buy a house?"
