章 227: Another Hunch

The night is getting late, but the conversation is still not over.

Instead, their conversation got deeper and deeper about what happened while they didn't meet.

Alice says that life is getting harder and harder. Many of the people living in this harbor have died since the last time Erend and Billy visited. Which is what happened a few years ago before the war.

Erend also doesn't really know much about the residents of this harbor. So he couldn't sympathize with them.

But even so, he still listened to Alice's story.

"As life gets harder, they choose to become criminals to be able to feed their families or themselves," Alice explained. "I feel very lucky that there are rich people who like my ale."

Yes, that's how Alice and her father live amid this very pressing adversity.

There was a wealthy businessman in the city area who liked the ale Alice's family made.

They bought up so much of the ale every month at a pretty high price.
