"Understood, understood. 4 hours, right?"
Leo nodded and handed the wine pouch to Drunkard, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Remember to find as many good things as possible. Make sure to find that Guild Establishment Order."
"Eh? Big brother, aren't you going in?" Drunkard asked, puzzled.
"If I go in, I'm afraid the realm might collapse," Leo rubbed his nose and said, "You go in by yourself. Master White Spring can't do anything else while maintaining the portal, and I'll stay here to protect him. Ink Dragon Guild's people will definitely come back later."
"Alright, big brother," Drunkard nodded and said, "Leave it to me. I'll definitely bring back the token you want!"
"Right, one last reminder," Leo said to him, "If you encounter any trouble in there, just remember to drink more wine... there should be some left in your wine pouch."
Drunkard shook the wine pouch and nodded, "I got it, big brother." With that, Drunkard stepped into the portal without looking back.
Just after Drunkard entered, a flash of light flickered, and Inky Serpent arrived with a carriage full of wine jars.
He had no idea where he got so much wine from.
Inky Serpent took a good look at the situation and figured out what had happened. All his subordinates had been taken down, and the old drunkard was helping someone else open the secret realm portal.
"Kid, who are you?" Inky Serpent looked at Leo standing nearby and asked in a deep voice.
"Me? An information broker who runs a tavern," Leo replied with a grin.
"Information broker? Do you know what you're doing?" Inky Serpent interrogated, "Are you trying to make an enemy of the Ink Dragon Guild?"
Leo waved his hand, saying, "I'm too lazy to make enemies with anyone, but if you see me as an enemy, there's nothing I can do."
"Has someone already entered?" Inky Serpent was somewhat furious, his hard-earned wine and information had been taken advantage of by this guy.
"Yeah," Leo stood up and said, "Thanks to the wine you sent to the old man earlier. How about this, I, Leo, have always been a generous person... You guys have been running around and working hard for your guild, so the next time you come to my tavern, drinks are all on me. I'm generous, right?"
Inky Serpent couldn't hold back anymore, and pulled out a sword, pointing it at Leo: "You're courting death."
With that, Inky Serpent charged at Leo with his sword, a black dragon shadow entwined around the blade, appearing to be very powerful.
Leo clicked his tongue, saying, "The vice president of the guild, huh? This move is quite powerful. If it were anyone else, they would probably die on the spot."
Before his words had fallen, Inky Serpent's sword was already close. Leo snapped his fingers, and the black dragon shadow instantly dissipated. Inky Serpent's sword was knocked away, and Inky Serpent himself, unwillingly looked at Leo before turning into ashes.
...
Inside Drunkard's Secret Stash.
After entering, Drunkard discovered that there was nothing in sight in all directions, just a void with no objects at all.
It felt like stepping on cotton balls under his feet, rising and falling unpredictably, making it hard for him to walk steadily.
"There's nothing here... Where are the items and equipment..." Drunkard scratched his head, confused.
He checked the system, but there were no hints, and the map showed only chaos.
Drunkard gathered his spirits and started walking deeper, determined not to stop until he found something. After more than half an hour, he finally stopped. There was still nothing ahead, just emptiness.
It would definitely take him more than half an hour to return, spending more than an hour going back and forth. When he first entered, Master White Spring had said that the portal could only last for four hours at most. If he spent all his time on the journey, it would be quite a waste...
At this thought, Drunkard couldn't help but remember what his big brother had said to him before entering the secret realm. If he encountered trouble inside, just drink more wine.
Now, he couldn't find any treasures at all. Wasn't this the biggest trouble? So, Drunkard immediately sat down cross-legged, opened his Heaven-Devouring Wine Pouch, and took a swig.
With a mouthful of wine, Drunkard seemed to be struck by inspiration. He reached out his right hand into the void and grabbed a purple-gold gourd.
The gourd was shining with golden light, and it looked extraordinary.
After checking the properties of the gourd, Drunkard was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Heaven-Devouring Wine Gourd, an infinite-capacity wine container, level 30 equipment, exclusive for the Drunkard profession, quality: Purple-gold Superior, attributes: Attack Power +800, Evasion +20%, Rage value cap +20, Drunkard skill 'Drunken Cloud Fire Mist' power increased by 100%!"
Now, Drunkard understood what he was supposed to do and immediately continued drinking...
After an unknown amount of time, Drunkard casually reached into the void and found something like a token.
Upon closer inspection, there was a big character "Guild" written on the token. Drunkard checked its properties and realized it was the crucial "Guild Establishment Order" that Leo had mentioned.
"Eh? Big brother said this is valuable, I better keep it safe." Drunkard quickly put the token in his pocket and continued to drink and search for treasures.
...
The 4 hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Drunkard had obtained quite a few good items. However, if he didn't leave now, he would never be able to leave, so he reluctantly departed.
When he came out of the portal, Leo was resting with his eyes closed on the side. He only opened his eyes when he sensed Drunkard's exit.
"How did it go?" Leo asked with a smile.
With an excited look, Drunkard took out all the good items he had obtained from Drunkard's Secret Stash. Each of these items or equipment was at least of high quality, with even a few top-grade pieces among them.
"Big brother, and this token, these are all I got." Drunkard took out the Guild Establishment Order and handed it to Leo.
