It was a standard Rococo building. Elegant arcs outlined the building's unique appearance, but it wasn't symmetrical or repetitive.
The whole building was like a giant open shell.
Along the shell hung a picture of a sun, followed by the letters FFEE.
The sun represented the sun, so this very special building, full of eighteenth-century French art, was called Daybuck Coffee Shop.
The interior decorations were delicate and soft, using asymmetrical techniques. Curved and S-shaped lines, shells, whirlpools, and rocks were the decorative motifs. Curling grass and flowers, lingering and coiling.
The ceiling and walls were connected by arcs, and the corners were decorated with murals.
In order to imitate nature, the interior parts were also made asymmetrical, changing shape. The interior walls were painted in bright green, pink, rose, and other light colors. Most of the stitching was gold.
The interior wainscoting was made of wooden planks, with a circle of lace around it. The center was lined with light-colored oriental brocade.
The Coffee Master was wearing a white shirt and a pair of brown overalls. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, and he was holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled. The coffee in the Coffee Master's hand trembled, almost spilling over. His face revealed a trace of surprise. He hurried to the window, coffee in hand, and looked out at the sky.
"A cloudless thunderstorm, a bolt from the blue. What a powerful Discipline.
Is this his power?
I didn't expect him to be this strong.
I wonder what happened to make him lose control of his emotions. "
It was a room without any extra decorations and was only half the size of Zeus' jewelry shop.
If it weren't for the wooden door facing Skyfire Avenue, it would be hard to believe this was one of the many shops on Skyfire Avenue.
It wasn't open to the public. There was a long table in the house, a simple rectangular table with four straight legs. Around the table were ten wooden stools.
Whether it was the table or the wooden stool, they were all made of the same kind of material. This was a kind of thousand-year-old undying wood. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the wood grain was either a myriad of strange ghost faces, densely packed ghost eyes, or like a piece of tiger skin.
Some were thick and some were thin, but they were all clear and not messy. Some were streamlined, some were curved, and some were even straight. Most of them were black lines, but occasionally dark brown or red lines could be seen.
It was the Hainan Huanghua Pear from the Upper Yuan Era, China!
The table itself had to be at least five thousand years old. The Wine Master had once said that he was willing to trade everything in the Gothic Winery for this table, aside from the wine they had in stock. But the offer had been rejected.
The Gourmet stood quietly by the table and the window, looking out at the sky. Bolts of lightning illuminated his aged face.
He placed a soda biscuit into his mouth and slowly chewed. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the lightning without blinking.
The Old Gothic Brewery.
The Wine Master stood by the window as well, with Eva at his side.
The Wine Master looked out at the sky, then at the shop across Skyfire Avenue. He shook his head.
"Boss.
That's … "Eva asked softly.
The Wine Master raised a hand to stop her from continuing.
There was a flash of silver light, and without warning the Wine Master was gone.
Eva, however, was not surprised. She quietly walked to the window and looked at the Zeus Jewelry Shop across the street.
Lightning streaked across the sky. The massive building on Skyfire Avenue reflected a faint golden light.
The building was baroque in style, with gold leaf on the outside. It was like a palace, with an olive-shaped floor plan and ceiling ornaments that emphasized the movement of curves. The facade was cut off, and the eaves curved horizontally. The walls were concave and convex, and the decorations were rich.
It was one of the largest buildings on Skyfire Avenue.
There were no signs on the building, but anyone with a Skyfire Emblem knew that it was called the Skyfire Museum. It housed many rare treasures, and was free to visit. Anyone with a Skyfire Emblem could enter.
However, it was only open during the day. It opened at sunrise and closed at sunset.
Inside the museum, an old man stood there quietly. He was tall and burly, and his face was full of wrinkles. It was impossible to tell his actual age, but he had a pair of extremely clear blue eyes that seemed to be able to reflect the universe.
He wore a very luxurious robe. The robe was white with a silky texture, and there were many silver lines on it. It was also inlaid with various gems. He wore a pointed hat on his head, and on the ring finger of his right hand was a large ruby ring.
There was a flash of silver, and at the old man's side stood the Wine Master, clad in noble attire.
"Nervous?" The old man asked with a smile, his eyes still fixed on the window.
The Wine Master nodded. "I'm afraid he'll change everything.
He came here three years ago, and became one of us as fast as he could.
He's shown good taste and ability.
In three years he's become a part of this place.
But his power, it's … "
"Too strong, isn't it?" The old man said quietly.
The Wine Master silently nodded his head.
The old man turned to face the Wine Master. His blue eyes shone with wisdom. "He's one of us.
When we agreed to let him become a member of the Skyfire Council, he became an inseparable part of us. No matter what he faces, this is his home. "
The Wine Master asked. "Can you see what his future holds?"
The old man shook his head. "I can't.
But I can see the righteousness in Thunderclap. "
The Wine Master looked at him. "Given his temperament, I'm afraid something bad will happen to him.
Should we help him? "
The old man smiled. "No need.
If he was a troublemaker, we wouldn't have accepted him in the first place.
Let nature take its course. "
The Wine Master's face broke into a smile. "It's good that he's in trouble. Saves him the trouble of drinking my Celestial Pearl."
The old man chuckled. "Call me next time.
Although I couldn't taste it, I could feel the atmosphere of that era when I tasted it.
Maybe I can help you find out where this wine still exists. "
The Wine Master's eyes lit up, but quickly changed. "Is it really a good idea to use divination to find the wine?
Clairvoyant. "
The Clairvoyant looked at him with a smile. "Isn't it a good idea?"
