Chapter 585 - Becoming an Apprentice to Learn Skills
Chapter 585 of "Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God" begins revealing: For them, the real challenge was how to walk out of Weizemay Manor and the... Continue the adventure!
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 couldnât be done now didnât mean it couldnât be done in the future.
Before having the Tower of Dominion, not to mention Daphne and the others, even Gaven hadnât imagined that they could one day step out of Weizemay Manor.
"Alright, since youâre so confident, thereâs no need for me to be the bad guy. As for the matter of authorization, letâs settle it that way. You donât 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, didnât 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 wouldnât have holed up here. Right now, he valued the young man before him more and couldnât 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."
Gavenâs impressive performance had ignited his desire to take on an apprentice.
"This..." Gaven was startled, never having expected this turn of events.
"Mr. Gaven, whatâs there to hesitate about? Didnât you just get started? All thatâs 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?"
Gavenâs 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 isnât very stable. After all, I have a manor to run, which is at a critical stage of development, and I canât follow the old man around for long periods."
"Thatâs not a problem. Youâre not an ordinary apprentice; thereâs no need to spend a lot of time polishing the basics. Itâs 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, Iâd feel tremendous pressure. I fear that within a few days, youâd 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 wasnât 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. á´á´á´ á´á´á´ ę°Ęá´á´ Nová´(l)FÉŞre .É´á´t
Tavern owner Father Krewen was thoroughly intrigued by Gavenâs 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 isnât too bad in appearance and taste, itâs 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.
Gavenâs appeal was already substantial, and now, with the addition of being a top-tier bartending prodigy and Father Krewenâs 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 ownerâs wealth, Gaven might not be interested, but if they could form an intimate relationship with him, bearing his child, they could use their childâs status to inherit the tavernâa 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 societyâs 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.
