Chapter 473 Entering The Queen's Royal Palace.
Poison Immunity made it impossible for Felix to enjoy alcohol in real life. Thankfully, he was in the UVR, making it possible to tone it down so he could at least get somewhat drunk.
After the bottles and glasses were brought, Felix picked one and removed its lid. Then he poured half a glass for all of them.
"Should we make a toast for Felix?" Karry proposed.
"Definitely! This should be a celebratory party for his enrollment." Naima agreed at once and raised her glass, "To Felix! The first non-witch potioneer!"
"Cheers!"
Cluck!
After the toast and a couple more drinks, the mood got less formal and more chummy as the girls had let go of themselves and just spoke what was in their minds.
Since Felix had lowered his alcohol resistance, he was also starting to get a bit drunk but nothing major that make him say shit he shouldn't have.
He just enjoyed the feeling of intoxication with a company, a feeling he almost forgot about it due to his friendless life.
The only friend he had was Olivia and he didn't want to drink with her since she was still a bit childish.
"Felix, tells us how you feel about meeting with the Witch Queen the day after tomorrow?" Naomi, the cute oval-faced witch, asked with flushed cheeks.
"You are truly in luck." Naima said enviously, "It's really rare to see the Queen even in the network don't even mention face to face."
"Oh? Well, besides the info I collected in the UVR, I don't know much about her. So, besides being honored to be invited and receive the citizenship, I don't know what else to feel." Felix admitted.
"Ahh, the Witch Queen is a legendary figure in the empire." Karry narrated in admiration, "She is the youngest witch to ever reach Sage rank at the age of 24. In addition, she is a highly acclaimed politician as she had helped our race get better deals in the SGAlliance over the years."
"Those are just a few of her achievements over the years of her ruling." Naomi murmured with her head leaning over Naima's shoulder.
"I see." Felix said to them while conversing with Lady Sphinx telepathically, 'Elder, didn't you say that the Queen is worst compared to the previous Queen that you taught? So how could she be the first-ever sage?'
Lady Sphinx who was bullying Jörmungandr in chess glanced upward and said calmly, 'Getting a Sage licence is nothing compared to the world of potion-making after it. The current Queen is too engrossed in politics and also a tad playful. This made her improvement slow down immensely unlike my previous students.'
'No wonder.' Felix thought, 'So other Queens didn't perform as stellar as the current Queen in bringing the empire the most benefits. But, they were better potioneers.'
'Sigh, time is truly too limited to do everything at once.' Felix glanced at the alcohol glass in his hand and decided, 'I should probably head home after this glass and do something productive.'
He already spent an hour in the club and he believed that should be enough playtime for the day.
"Ladies, I will make sure to see if I can take a picture or two of the Queen up close for you." Felix stood up while gulping down a half-filled glass and said, "For now, I will be heading home to practice what you taught me since I am still missing too much in my fundamentals."
Naima immediately clasped his arm and gave him a puppy look, "It's so soon. Can't you stay another hour with us? We still haven't even played some drinking games."
