"Welcome~Huh? Is it Sister Haqiong~? ""Pyra. Tina, the waitress at the hotel, found that old acquaintances were coming again. "Are you looking for the eldest sister? I'm going to call her! ”

"No, Tina, I'm just here for a drink." Eslang sat down at the bar and ordered to the bartender: "Ji Lin, give me a glass of 'sweet impact'." Don't put alcohol in it, hmm, can you add ice cubes? I want to calm down. ”

"You can't add ice, that will make the cranberry concoction. What's the matter, Esla, you don't look right, and besides, don't you usually order 'stuffed fantasies'. The bartender, named Ji Lin, replied while bartending.

"Thanks, well, I just want a cup, this 'Deep Blue Moon', I didn't want it, although I like it."

"I invite you this cup, which can be regarded as a gift to congratulate the 'sad girl abandoned by scumbags', who crawled out of the abyss of depravity and self-abandonment." Ji Lin smiled at the regulars and said, "I heard that Joseni said that you no longer squatted at home as a wine bug, but ran out to work, what made you change so much?" ”

"You don't care about this~ You intelligence dealer, I don't want to talk to you about work." Eslang drank most of the cup of 'Deep Blue Moon' in one gulp, "Ah~~~ I haven't drunk this for a long time, and when I get paid, I have to come over and order another drink!" ”

"Hehe, as long as you are willing to let go of that scumbag and be with me, you can drink it every day~" Ji Lin's light blue eyes lit up, staring at Eslang intoxicated.

“。。。。” The good mood of the female alchemist was immediately destroyed, "I said, I don't like women, at least not in that regard~!" Ji Lin, this is not the first time I have taken a stand! ”

"I don't believe it! Joseseni said that she used to take a bath with you often~ You can't deny that, right? Hmm, don't you like older people? Ji Lin leaned forward, supported by her arms, and approached the guests in front of the bar.

"Ah~ah! Past! Past! We were only a few years old then! Their bathroom should be reserved for the guests, and they must be used before the guests can use it! And she went to bed early and couldn't wait that long! That's why you came to my house to wash it! You perverted woman! "Esani's green tendons burst out.

"Oh hehe, I'm just kidding~ Look at you so energetic, it looks like you're really just coming over for a drink, shhh, light, Tina is smiling over there." The bartender squinted her eyes and chuckled.

"Really, why would Joseni hire a weirdo like you to be a bartender, isn't she afraid that you will scare the guests away!" Eslang drank the remaining half of the 'Deep Blue Moon' and stared at the bartender angrily.

"On the contrary, after Joseni asked me to be a bartender, the number of guests who came here surged, especially at night, many regulars would come to me as long as they wanted to drink~ Don't lie to you, the number of regulars is really a lot~" Ji Lin straightened up and began to prepare for the next glass of wine.

"Huh? Are they blind or deaf? I can't think of a lot of regulars that Ni would be able to attract regulars, and there would be quite a few of them? ”

"Well, you should understand~~" The bartender looked at Esani, and then began to shake the shaker, "Well, shake it like this, and then slowly accelerate it~" As her movements changed from gentle shaking to fast shaking, her chest also rose and fell with the rhythm.

"Ji Lin, don't you have any shame? Also, do your customers know what you are inclined to? They must be disappointed when they find out. Eslang lifted his forehead, feeling that he had asked a stupid question. Although she is a regular customer of the hotel, she actually doesn't have a very deep friendship with the bartender in front of her. After the two got acquainted with each other, the female pervert began to harass her, causing her to be reluctant to come to the hotel for a drink.

"Esani~ I told you before, I can do everything~ and the number of my female regulars is a little higher~ Uh-huh~" replied, the bartender who was still shaking the wine.

"When? Why am I not impressed?! Aslang was surprised.

"When you were drunk last year~"

"The one you're going to drag me away? OMG~"

Eslang couldn't stay any longer, drank another cup of 'Sweet Shock' in one gulp, turned around and was about to leave. "It's on the books, and I'll pay it back at the end of the month."

"Wait, hey~! You really can't afford to joke at all~" The bartender sighed, and then, poured the wine from the shaker into the glass.

"Here, this is the second cup~!" A teal sparkling drink was served.

"'Refreshing summer'? Belch? It's not expensive, but I've had enough of it today. Thank you for your kindness~Ji Lin~" Esri's heart was furious, and the memory of being drunk by her last year began to revive.

"Stay, Essun, I just happened to talk to you." Joseni's voice came from the stairs.

"Tsk~ Can't you go to your room and talk?" Eslang was a little helpless.

"That's it, I don't have any drinks in my room." Joseni sat down beside her.

"Hey, boss, what do you want?" Seeing that the regulars were retained, Ji Lin was a little happy.

"'Pious Star', I want a big cup." After Joseni finished speaking, she looked at her friend, "You should be on duty today, why did you leave the camp early?" Isn't it possible that you're quitting your job again? ”

"No, Joseni, I'm just leaving early today."

"Why? Is it unhappiness at work? Well, as Naples said before, R&D is not going well, you shouldn't be feeling too stressed, so just... ”

"No, no, no, I have a lot of fun at work, and the people in Junying are very good to me. Well, actually, things went well with R&D, but ... Eslang was a little hesitant, not knowing what to say.

"It went well? But again? Come on, you don't look like you're okay! Go ahead! What's going on? There are more and more things hidden in your heart, girl! The former you! Not like that! Joseni exploded, and the friends she grew up with grew up with became stranger and stranger.

"It's true that there are problems in R&D, and to be honest, the problems are quite serious. Uh, I'm sorry, Ji Lin, can you avoid it? And Tina, help me get to the door and get the wind down. Eventually, Aslang decided to confess to the only person he trusted.

"Ji Lin, you go to rest, if there are guests coming, I will greet you again. Tina, keep an eye on it~! Just go! ”

"Good boss/yes! Big sister head! Both of them left the hall, and Eslang was a little glad that there were no guests present.

"I made a mistake, Joseni. Big mistake! In order to return to the palace, I broke the alchemist's oath! Even discarded the bottom line as a human being! Woo! ~~~" Esani's tears couldn't help but stay.

"What the hell is going on? Don't cry! Girl! Say it quickly! Joseni was anxious, and she rarely saw Eslang crying in front of others.

"I plagiarized the alchemy of others." The alchemist whispered repentance.

"Huh? You plagiarize?? No... I said, "Is there anyone smarter than you in this royal city?" Joseni was stunned, "It's better to say that you can actually plagiarize~!" Oh, my God? When did Wang Cheng come to the alchemy master? Or is it the alchemist developed by the most scarce steam monarch? ”

For a while, Esani also fell into a lot of doubts and couldn't extricate himself.

In the hotel, Eslang finally stumbled to tell the story of the amazing things that happened that day. After listening to what she had said, Joseni's brow furrowed.

"Stupid girl, you're being taken advantage of! Too stupid, so stupid for you! Oh, someone gives you a few drawings, and you hand them in to ask for credit? What about your brain? In case this drawing is waste paper, how are you going to finish it? Even if you have Napolis to protect you, you won't be able to hold your head up in the king's camp in the future! ”

"However, there is no problem with the drawings, I have repeatedly confirmed the accounting. I was almost late, but I got it at seven! ”

"And then? After you turn it in, and someone accuses you of plagiarism, what are you going to do? If something like that happens, even he won't be able to protect you! Your life is over, not to mention the disaster of prison, the alchemists whose reputation is notorious, you haven't seen their miserable conditions! You're really crazy! After venting, Joteni took a long sip of wine.

"Actually, I'm thinking about it, but I don't understand why the princess is doing this. This drawing, no matter who hands it in, can be reused, even if there is no suitable alchemist in the royal city at present, it is no problem to find someone from outside the city. ”

"Silly girl, there's a bigger problem. Where did the princess get these blueprints? And who designed them? And why is he hiding behind the scenes? ”

"There's more than one problem." Ace muttered, "Hmm, such a clever alchemy design would not have been possible without decades of knowledge accumulation. There should be no such person in the royal city, and even when I was in the academy, I had never heard of such a master. ”

"It's not just that you little wine worm don't know, I haven't heard of such an alchemy master in the kingdom, especially here in the royal city!" Joseni, who took another sip of wine, sighed, "This person is very deeply hidden, according to what you just said, such a clever alchemy blueprint can only be achieved by immersing in steam alchemy for decades. And such a person has been hiding for decades, and he has secretly come into contact with the princess in the palace! ”

"I'm a little scared when I hear you say that. The few pieces of paper I handed in today only recorded the drawings of the finished product sample I had modified, the specific manufacturing process and related parameters, and I was afraid that I would not be able to say clearly, so I did not hand it in. Assun's heart was secretly bitter, and it seemed that he was being drawn into a big maelstrom.

"What? Processes and parameters? Esla, does that sound like you already have a finished product?! Dare to develop this kind of thing? I'm not afraid of being sued for illegal imitation!? Joseni stared at her friend and began to think she was crazy.

"Joseni, I'm not crazy enough to plagiarize a replica of a patented product. Moreover, before I joined the team, I went to the patent office to obtain relevant registered patents, and wanted to find suitable products and relevant experts in this way. But this one is almost a blank slate. Eslang thought about it, "The kingdom has not changed much in the past few decades in related technologies such as steam rifles, and several other countries are not very interested in it, and most of the related patented technologies are basically civilian power-related products." ”
