Chapter 576: The Far Away Ship Tavern


    ?


    The Far Away Ship Tavern, Musdurn Town, Musdurn Mountain Valley.


    It had been a few hours since Theo and his friends arrived at the town to enjoy its night attractions. And so far, they had been everywhere around the town.


    They bought all kinds of things at the Winter Market and they even had theugh of their lives watching the open-air y there. After spending a couple of hours at the Winter Market, they became hungry once again, so they decided to stop at a nice restaurant to have dinner. It was only after filling their bellies that they continued their tour around town. Soon after, they visited the amusement park where they yed all kinds of games. For the next couple of hours, they visited all kinds of attractions around the town. But after all this walk, they were getting a little tired, so they decided to make onest stop before going back to the manor.


    It wasn''t a surprise that they chose to stop at The Far Away Ship Tavern as this ce was one most famous ces in Musdurn Town. This tavern had been in operation for almost 200 years already!


    It was said that the tavern still maintained the original recipe for their drinks and dishes. Although the tavern was modernized over the years, it kept most of its original decorations, so if someone wanted to know how was the experience to visit a tavern centuries ago, this tavern was a viable option.


    That''s why the tavern was always filled with customers no matter the season. And Theo and the others wouldn''t miss visiting such an interesting ce.


    The first thing they noticed when they arrived in front of it was that the building really looked like taverns shown in movies and TV shows. They even had a wooden sign with the tavern''s name and a drawing of a ship.


    They soon opened the wooden door and entered the ce, and they were greeted by a mix of smells and the hot airing from the firece.


    As they looked around the ce, they really felt like they traveled in time to medieval times.


    The tables and chairs were all made of wood. Even the floor was made of wood. While the walls were made of concrete, they had all kinds of wooden details to give them the look that a tavern should have. The lights in the tavern came mostly from the firece, but around the walls, several yellow modern lights imitated candle lights illuminated the ce.


    Even the waitresses and barmans were dressed in attire from medieval times.


    The curious thing was that it seemed that some bards were performing some songs on the stage near the firece. The songs they were ying, someone would only hear if they were watching a fantasy movie, TV show, or anime from medieval times.


    With all these factors added together, the ce genuinely looked like a tavern from medieval times.


    The Far Away Ship Tavern was founded here in Musdurn Town almost at the same time that the town was created. At those times, Elffire City was starting to be more and more important, but some people still preferred to live quietly. So, a few families left Elffire City and formed a little vige in this ce. At those times the Musdurn Mountain was just like any other mountain among the Torringgar Mountain Range. They just chose the ce they felt it was the best to live at. These people would never imagine that centuriester the vige they founded would be one most touristic ces in the country.


    Among these families that founded this vige was an old couple with their two sons. The old man was curiously a sailor who traveled the seas for decades. But a few years ago, the ship he was on was wrecked and he was the only survivor. Because of the loss of his sea brothers, the old man was deeply traumatized. That was how he vowed to never see the sea until the end of his days.


    He randomly chose a city in the country that was far from the sea to live in. Elffire City was his choice, and it was in Elffire City that he met the love of his and had two beautiful sons.


    The old man''s wife disliked the growing city around them, so he didn''t hesitate to follow her wishes to move to a quieter ce.


    A few years after they moved to Musdurn Mountain Valley, they decided to open a tavern to earn an extra ie. That was how the couple founded the tavern that would resist the passage of time and survive for almost 200 years.


    Obviously, the name of the tavern was an allusion to the times that the old man passed at the sea with his brothers.


    The tavern was almost lost many times during the years, but it seemed like the blessing of the old couple preserved the ce no matter what.


    Theo and the others were amazed by everything around them, and they kept looking around them even after they were able to find some tables for everyone to sit at. Because their group was big, the waitresses had to help them move their tables together.


    "What are you guys having?" The waitress asked after everyone got seated.


    They were a little confused as they hadn''t seen the menu yet, how could they know what to choose?


    But Theo immediately understood as he asked, "What do you guys have?"


    If Theo was right, the tavern didn''t have a menu when it was first created just like any other tavern didn''t have one in those times.


    "If you guys are looking for alcohol we have our famous homemade butterbeer, hydromel,..." The waitress started to list the popr drinks they had. "If you guys want to eat we also have..." Shepleted.


    It was only then that the others understood that a typical medieval tavern didn''t have a menu. Because of that, they paid extra attention to the options that thedy said.


    "What''s the alcohol level of the butterbeer?" Theo asked when she finished.


    "No alcohol at all." She replied.


    "I think the ones that will drive back to manor should stop drinking alcohol." Theo suggested as he looked at the others.


    It was only then that they remembered that they had to drive back to the houseter. They spent a minute deciding which ones would be in charge of driving the others back. After deciding they chose to order butterbeer for the drivers while the others chose some interesting drinks like the hydromel.


    They even ordered some snacks and dishes that sounded delicious.


    The waitress noted down their order before leaving their table and the group was finally able to observe the surroundings.


    "Oh my god! Did we travel back in time without my knowledge?" Ayia asked with an excited voice.


    The others also had the same shining eyes as they observed everything around them.
