Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 165 Why did the pirate ship hit my face?

Who would have thought that as long as you turn left when you go out, there will be an old man standing in the stairwell.

Facing Eleanor, who was obviously waiting for him, Ji Ming first looked around in pretense of panic, and then tied his hands.

"Hello, do you have a problem with me?"

People will be wary of a good person and a bad person, but no one will be wary of a coward.

Especially when the other person is still too young, and although he is already trying to observe his words and emotions, he can't even hide himself.

So the corners of Eleanor's mouth relaxed a bit visibly, and she pursed her lower lip nervously.

"Well... our teachers are friends, so I think we can communicate more..."

Her expression was vivid and her voice was full of emotion, but she was stumbling as if she was memorizing a manuscript.

And because Ji Ming retreated first, Eleanor, who thought she was in the wrong, was embarrassed to look at his face.

So it seems that she has the initiative, but in fact she is completely passive.

She could only let Ji Ming be condescending and read her inner fluctuations through micro-expressions, which was as miserable as a public execution.

"...My office is on the second floor. It's quite a big place. If you still have time, can you come for a drink?"

Ji Ming suddenly remembered the female class monitor in elementary school who had to appear on stage as the host whenever the leader came.

Tsk, how old are you and you still have a drink? I'm afraid the police will take me away...

But people have already mentioned it, so it doesn’t hurt to give it a listen.

"Okay, but I still have an appointment at my clinic, so I might not be able to stay for long."

"It's ok."

So he followed her to the second floor, where there was a room that hadn't had time to put up a sign yet.

Eleanor took out the key and opened the door awkwardly.

Stepping inside, Ji Ming looked around quietly and realized that "she was busy" mentioned by Bishop Tenis should be referring to decorating the office.

After all, although some exquisite decorations have been placed in the house, the other half is still very empty, and there are two suitcases in the corner that have obviously not been opened.

The bulging bags were probably bedding and clothing.

"Hold on."

Sitting at the large square table indoors, Eleanor also used magic to heat the water.

"Although Teacher Tenis likes to drink tea, it is still more popular among the nobles of the Glow Kingdom to drink this tea recently."

As she spoke, she took out a transparent crystal jar from the drawer.

"This is the coffee sent from Lingxi. It is fragrant and silky, and has a rare taste."

Oh, although the way of showing identity is very stiff, but...

You are indeed a member of the aristocracy!
Watching the familiar black liquid being poured into the cup, Ji Ming secretly complained that something was missing.

But the host family has raised their glasses, so how can I hesitate?

I could only smile, pick up the cup, and take a sip.

……

Haha, this is a very good job. Highly recommended!

Bitter, sour and astringent, this thing tastes worse than the black coffee I bought just to show off!

However, seeing that Eleanor also looked miserable on the tip of her tongue, he could only swallow it with a solemn expression.

"Uh, Miss Eleanor, based on my personal knowledge... Wouldn't this drink be better with milk and sugar?"

Although the word "yes" was already on her lips, waiting for the breath to come out, Eleanor still swallowed it at the last moment.

"No, the real nobles of the royal capital all drink the original flavor. Only the bumpkins from the Western Region drink it..."

"I can rest assured that!"

Activate the trap card, I am a barbarian!

Ji Ming took out the Hui Chun Si Dai he had brought with him from his arms and poured half a bottle into the cup.

Needless to say, the power of the magical potion. If you drink it again, not only will the bitterness be eliminated, but the mellow aroma will also be twisted into a rope with the fresh fragrance, expanding to the maximum extent.

When the liquid fell into his stomach, even Ji Ming felt his eyes light up.

Feeling energetic and energetic!

And just like the biological and chemical nuclear weapons of Death, the scattered fragrance will attack indiscriminately.

So Eleanor couldn't control herself and leaned her head forward slightly.

"Is this... local specialty sugar water?"

Anyway, this is the clinic's current flagship product, so the more people who know about it, the better.

So Ji Ming cleared his throat.

"What? This is not sugar water, this is the Fourth Generation of Rejuvenation..."

And just like she said, the other party is a student of the teacher's friend, so he is a natural candidate for development as an ally.

So while blowing, he generously handed over the remaining half bottle.

"This is my most proud product as a pharmacist. You can try it."

Eleanor hesitated.

"...I remember that potions cannot be used indiscriminately. They are different from potions and basically have side effects."

side effect?
If your vitality is severely depleted, will you develop a certain degree of drug dependence?
Ji Ming shook his head.

"So it is my capital to settle down in Sunshine City. After all, as a powerful healing medicine, it has no side effects."

Eleanor was doubtful, but tried to put it in anyway.

Thus, the second side effect of the Fourth Generation of Rejuvenation appeared.

What's this?Add Hui Chun Si Dai coffee and take a sip.

……

What's this?add……

What?
kisses?

Eleanor shook her glass twice.

Crystal cup: There is not a drop of laxative left.

Suddenly, an unprecedented sense of loss emerged in her heart.

But Eleanor was not cursed, so the negative emotions only floated for a moment and then disappeared.

You can always trust the rejuvenating liquid, so Ji Ming asked lightly.

"how?"

"it is good!"

……

Eleanor quickly calmed down her expression and pretended to remain calm.

"It's not bad. Maybe it's a southern specialty."

After two cups of coffee, the atmosphere at the table relaxed and the conversation could get to the point.

"Dr. Ji Ming, actually I've wanted to get to know you for a long time."

She was probably memorizing the manuscript again, and Eleanor started with a classic boast.

"I admire your medical skills and pharmacy knowledge very much, and not every pharmacist can have qualified unique products. As an independent pharmacist, this is a very remarkable thing."

Ji Ming smiled.

"I'm just a doctor, doing my best."

"Of course, I understand what you mean."

what?
Ji Ming didn't know what Eleanor understood, but she nodded matter-of-factly.

"So I think your ability is much more than this. If you can go to the royal capital and communicate with more masters, you can definitely go further."

What? ? ?
At this point, she sighed abruptly again,
"It's a pity that I still need to stay in Sunshine City for a while, otherwise I might be able to pave the way for you."

Uh……

Ji Ming sighed silently, as if he could tell.

I asked him how to stop me and take him to the office, but it turned out that he was ambushing me here!
Although her reasoning was confusing and her words were blunt, the other party's intention was obvious - to win over.

and so.

Could it be that the other person was not cultivated according to the flower vase and came to the church as a gilded marriage reserve.

But a legitimate eldest son who is qualified to inherit the family business and go to the border areas to cultivate political capital?
After all, just as he had expected before, as a "potion" with a very low threshold, the most suitable stage for rejuvenation liquid is the battlefield.

In other words, it is a large-scale workshop that only nobles can afford.

but.

Ji Ming has been struggling in society for many years, and what he eats the most is the cakes drawn by others.

This kind of bait is so salty that you can't even put butter on it. You can't believe it!
So he pretended to be surprised and said.

"To tell you the truth, my potion is actually a rough recipe brought from the East."

"Although the healing power is very strong and it has additional refreshing effects, the production process is too cumbersome and difficult to optimize..."

Eleanor nodded thoughtfully, but there was no disappointment in her eyes, she just comforted her.

"It doesn't matter, maybe you will find a suitable processing method when you come to the capital in the future, and I will help you then."

Facing civilians who have lost half of their use value, he can still maintain his etiquette without changing his face at the speed of light.

Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of personal quality, he has surpassed 99% of the nobles.Ah.

With a chuckle, Ji Ming had nothing to gain from this trip and was ready to find an opportunity to leave.

But the other party's purpose seemed to be more than that. He paused for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Actually, I heard some very dangerous rumors during my trip here."

"Teacher Tenis said that you once lived in the outer city. Do you know anything about violent creatures?"

Ji Ming was stunned. This question surprised him.

"Sorry, I'm just a doctor..."

After thinking about his character, he said it more implicitly.

"I only know that the prices of hospitals in the inner city have been increasing recently, and there are more and more injured patients in various clinics."

To show his seriousness, he thought for a while.

"Moreover, there were heavy casualties in the outer city. It seems that some city residents secretly escaped. I don't know about the rest..."

Eleanor frowned, with a worried look on her face, and finally seemed to have made up her mind.

"Doctor, I believe you can see that I am a noble from the Capital of Glory."

"Although there is no clear lord here, Sunshine City and even the Black Forest Territory are legally part of our Kingdom of Glow."

"My noble surname has been passed down for a long time, and the honor of my family means that I cannot let monsters threaten the lives of the people in my territory."

"therefore……"

She took a breath.

"There must be some reason behind the violent creature incident. I need capable people to dig up this secret with me!"

Hey, why did the pirate ship hit my face?
You should play dumb at this time.

"I still don't quite understand what you mean, I'm just a doctor..."

Eleanor interrupted him directly.

"Of course you can choose to refuse, but if you are willing to help me, I will give you the rewards you deserve!"

Ji Ming fell into silence.

To be honest, the closed beta was about to take place, and it was the critical moment of the three levels, and he didn't want to get involved in such nonsense.

but.

It was obviously a strange dissident on the chaotic side. While getting involved in this place, it had also discovered the existence of the dungeon.

Even if Sunshine City is destroyed, it will only delay the formal conflict until later and will not solve the fundamental problem.

and.

Teacher, bishop, priest, plus a royal lady who obviously wants to make a difference...

If the other party wants to, it seems that something can really happen in this three-acre area of ​​Sunshine City!
Moreover, it is easy to fish when the water is muddy. Players will eventually get out of the underground and step onto the world stage. This may not be an opportunity.

So even if you don’t participate, you must follow the whole process!
So he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

"There's probably not a lot I can do..."

……

Ji Ming really wanted to remind her that reality is not a game. There is no need to have strong positive feedback to accomplish something. Please control your face.

But after seeing her flipping through the drawer and taking out a notebook, she decided to forget it.

"Ahem, well, as I said before, your teacher and I are friends, so you and I should be natural friends."

Eleanor said a few words first, and then pushed the notebook in front of Ji Ming.

"Maybe it's not as valuable as the teacher's, but it's still something. This is my sincerity."

Ji Ming opened the cover and glanced at a random page, and found it written in the corner.

【The taste of Goblin is really good! 】

!!!

Oh, not bad, it refers to the taste after cooking.

……

Well, what a fart!
"I bought this from an old booksmith. It is the last work of the genius pharmacist Swindis 100 years ago."

Pharmacists generally don't have a normal mind, so Swindis's notes are relatively abstract.

So Eleanor probably didn't read carefully what was written inside, and was still talking about it at this time.

"How is it, not bad?"

Ji Ming's fingertips trembled slightly and he closed the note.

"energetic!"

???

Ji Ming was negotiating with Eleanor, and on the other side, after Ji Ming closed the door and left, the chat between Blois and Tenis also came to an abrupt end.

After a moment of silence, Tenis broke the silence.

"First of all, let's talk about it. It is the arrangement of the Holy See for me to accept Eleanor as a student, and it is also a way to repay the favor that the Marquis had back then."

"Why did you suddenly accept a young male pharmacist as your student?"

Blois said nothing.

Tenis waited for three seconds and suddenly sighed.

"Hey, I didn't know that it was the old tree that said that his heart was burned to death by the hatred of his country and his family. From now on, he would confine his emotions and go into self-exile."

She blinked, finally revealing a bit of the succubus's natural cunning.

"I didn't expect that when I saw the little one, I couldn't help but sprout. I wanted to..."

boom!
"Don't be angry, the table is very expensive."

Blois clenched his fist and slowly released it.

"Don't think so much. There are very few good people in the world. I just pity him for not being rewarded!"

"Then why don't you take pity on me, an old succubus who has a home and can't go back?"

What he got in return was Blois' habitual snort.

"You deserve it. Who told you to have nothing to do with that damn bastard Lionheart when you can't control your people?"

The succubus was furious.

"How did I know that my father would have such a strong charm? Even if I get involved, he can hook the souls of mortals even after death, and let the Lionheart King bring tens of thousands of troops to rob people. Even if I hadn't run away Hurry..."

He suddenly closed his mouth again, his expression changed, and he stared hard.

"Old guy, you want to change the subject!?"

It's a pity that Bulova didn't even raise his eyelids since they had known each other for a long time.

"Where do I have it? I'm just following your words."

"Okay, okay, you're so quibbley, aren't you?"

Tenis adjusted the collar of her purple robe, and then flipped her hair.

"It just so happens that when I helped you make sheepskin clothes last time, I kept a large size one by the way."

"Since you don't have that kind of interest in him, then let me have sex with you, it's fun just thinking about it."

I was quite confident, but unfortunately my guard was broken when the old lady said, "How can you, an old chick, pretend to be so charming?"

"Ahhh!"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll tell you the reason."

Blois rolled up his sleeves, revealing his forearms covered with scars and as dry as tree bark.

"As a race close to nature, we elves can know destiny, so..."

She slowed down.

"I feel like I'm dying."

"what?"

Tennis exclaimed with confusion on his face.

"But your nine sacred surnames have a long life span, which can last for thousands of years. You should be in your prime now?"

"That's in theory."

Blois stretched out his fingers and began to count.

"But after experiencing so many changes, being cursed by the God of the Jungle, the long pursuit, and the inner torture..."

"No matter how powerful my talent is, it will run out of time, and my lifespan will be shortened along with it. It is a fluke to survive for five hundred years."

"Since my life is like a candle in the wind, I need someone to pass on my legacy."

"So he showed up. Although his talent was terrible, I was even worse. I thought he was pretty good, that's all."

Tenis bit her red lips, and the succubus' unique horns had already revealed their original shape due to anger.

"What kind of bastard bullshit are you talking about, old man..."

She was still singing and singing, but her expression suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

The devil's aura was swept away, replaced by the floating holy light.

"I suddenly felt... Lord God?"
