Under the bright street lights, the slender girl led Loli on the road.
"You like that man, right?"
The sudden verbal attack caused Lanya to sway, stop with a blushing face, and turn to look at the little Loli behind her.
"What?"
"That bartender, that man named Ringer, do you like him?"
"What are you talking about?"
Kenel crossed his arms and raised his face confidently.
"I'm a detective, don't try to hide it from me. Even if you are not a detective, an eighty-year-old grandmother can see this clearly."
Is it that obvious? ...Lanya covered her face that was starting to get hot.
"But according to my observation, that guy seems to like wine more than women." Kenel said with a smile.
"I'm very good at judging people," she added.
Just like when she saw at a glance that the alchemist was a pervert.
Hearing Kenai's words, Lanya frowned slightly, a trace of depression emerging from her shy mood.
She was right, Lin Ge was indeed that kind of person...
the other side.
Ios continent, Scylla.
Lin Ge and Li Er walked side by side on the streets of this alchemy capital.
There are a large number of old shops crowded on both sides of the street, almost all of which sell potions or alchemy materials. Smoke of various colors is spraying out from the exhaust pipes on the roofs, floating into the gray sky.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of alchemy. Lil was used to this smell. Ringer had been here several times and still felt his nose was a little itchy.
People are coming and going on the streets, and most of the residents here have pale faces, or are dull and green, and they all look sick.
A beauty like Lil looks like an alien walking on the street.
According to Lil's own statement, she took a skin whitening and rejuvenating medicine, which was one of the products produced in her family's workshop.
It's a pity that the residents living in the lower half of the city don't seem to care about their skin, and the ladies and gentlemen in the upper half of the city don't need this at all, so the actual sales volume of this medicine is not very good.
boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise on the side of the road.
Ringer turned around and saw that the tinted window glass of a shop was shattered, and thick smoke floated out of the window.
Li'er, who grew up in Scylla, has long been accustomed to this. She twitched the tip of her nose, sniffed the smell in the air, and said with a smile:
"It's flame powder and frost liquid. Flame powder can burn quickly in the air and release huge amounts of heat, while frost liquid can quickly absorb heat and freeze objects. When these two substances are mixed together, they will release huge amounts of heat. Energy. It seems the owner of this store got the mixing ratio wrong."
Like a student memorizing, she tested the knowledge she had learned and read it out.
Then he asked like he was asking for the teacher’s opinion:
"Mr. Ringer, am I right?"
Ringer caught a wisp of black smoke and brought it to his nose, smelled it, and said with a smile: "The ratio of flame powder to frost liquid is 1:4, and the amount of frost liquid should be one-fourth more."
Lil stuck out her tongue and put away the proud expression on her face.
In fact, she was showing off some of the ingredients just now, but when she heard Ringer accurately stating the proportions of the formula, she suddenly felt a little feverish on her face.
"Mr. Ringer is really awesome. You can tell the exact proportions just by smelling it."
Lin Ge smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I just made it up casually to deceive you?"
Li'er raised his head and glanced at Ringer, shook his head and said: "Mr. Ringer doesn't look like that kind of person. And I can probably tell it, but I can't be as precise as you."
This ability was trained by Ringer during the bartending process.
Mixing different wines together, he could tell which ones were in it and in what proportions just by smelling it.
The sudden explosion in the store did not cause much commotion. Passers-by on the street had long been accustomed to this situation. They took a second look and continued walking on their own way.
Lin Ge and Li'er also continued walking along the street, and soon they arrived in front of Li'er's alchemy workshop, Fiona's alchemy workshop.
This is not a very lively location, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and the nearby shops are much sparse. Because of this, the light cast from the sky seems to be a little brighter, and the pungent smell in the air is also a little thinner.
In front of Ringer's eyes was a two-story brick building. Although it looked a bit old overall, the walls, roof, and even the stone pavement in front of the store had all been cleaned.
A shiny wooden sign hangs at the entrance of the workshop with the name of the shop written on it.
Fiona's Alchemy Workshop.
This is not the first time Ringer has come here. He has already made some preparations before, mainly to familiarize himself with the environment and prepare materials.
He came here today to create the second human form of wine.
Some people died, but not completely...
