"Yes, there is no way, no matter how you say it, that stinky old man is also an acquaintance. The people under him have to be taken care of no matter what. The hotel owner sighed.

"Stinky old man? Hmm, is that the old pervert who keeps staring at my chest? Tsk, boss, or, let this girl stay, put it under that stinky old man, I'm not very at ease~"

"Mix your wine!" Joseni quickly began to get dizzy and went down to business.

Soon, the hotel owner, who was holding two glasses of wine, sat down next to the girl: "Guest... ”

Before she could finish greeting, the girl who had been in a daze suddenly rushed to the side, and after a little distance, she looked at her with vigilant eyes.

Thinking like this, Josenie smiled slightly, and said to the girl, "I'm sorry to scare you, I'm the owner of this hotel. Pyro. I look at the guests very faced, so I want to talk to you. ”

Seeing that the girl still didn't speak, Joseni could only continue: "Don't be nervous, you are a member of the 'Blue Mustang' mercenary group. Blanco is quite familiar. He must have told you about our hotel, or you wouldn't have come in, would you? ”

"You, do you know the head of the regiment? Well, yes, he said the wine was good and the people were nice, so I came in. The girl lowered her guard slightly.

"Well, just say these nice things to him, and I can erase a fraction of the arrears for him. Come, kid, sit here~! Josephne beckoned her to sit down.

"Well, thank you. Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Apollil. Nolande. Sorry, I'm not in a good mood today, and I'm a little rude. ”

"Huh? ~Nolande, well, you're from Sisko? Joseni probed.

"yes, hmm, boss, you seem to know Sisko Island well?" The girl was surprised, her surname was relatively rare, and if she wasn't an islander, or someone who knew her better, she wouldn't have noticed it at the first time.

"Just call me Joseni~ Yes, I happen to know a Sistol. Oh yes, it's wine for you. Let's try it~" Joseni handed one of the glasses of wine to the girl next to her.

"Huh? This shouldn't be the 'Burst Moon' I ordered, right? The old man said that the wine was like a green leaf curler that had been crushed, and that it didn't seem to be on the ice. Apollil looked at the fizzy blue cocktail in front of her, a little puzzled.

"What's so good about that wine~! Eight out of ten stinky men will order this for the sake of face~! Especially when they come with a female companion~ they will use this to try to show their manly side, heh, at least half of them will spit on the spot and lose face. The leader of your regiment, that weird old man is different, that guy is purely fond of spirits. Josephne sighed as she spoke.

"Believe me, that kind of wine, it's not for girls, try this. This wine is really good, and there is no alcohol component, it is very suitable for a girl like you who almost does not drink~" After speaking, Joseseni took the lead in drinking the wine in her hand.

"You can see it," Apollil picked up the glass a little shyly and took a sip of wine, "Well, it tastes really good, it's not bitter, it's a little sweet, well, and even moon orange juice!" It's really delicious~! ”

"Huh? You're pretty good~ You only add two or three drops, and you can drink it?! Joseni feigned surprise.

"Well, it's just that I've been trained in it. Thank you for the recommendation, well, it's time for me to go, how much does this wine cost, I'm now. Before the words fell, the girl froze, she actually rarely went out to spend, and this time she went out with anger, so naturally she wouldn't bring money.

"It's okay, let's put it on the old man's account, anyway, he owes more than twenty silver sel, and he doesn't care about adding more money." Joseni saw the girl's distress and comforted her.

"Thank you so much, well, you're such a nice person!" Apollil uttered the honorific in a shy tone.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, little girl, can you really get out like you are now? Take a break and talk to me. Joseni gestured to her to pay attention to her face.

"Huh?" The girl touched her face, which was wet. She took a big breath, and then realized that she had shed a lot of tears as she thought about it in a daze.

The female bar appeared at the right time, handed a clean towel to the girl, and at the same time, placed two orange transparent cocktails on the bar.

"Thank you," Apollil wiped away her tears with a towel, and then, looking at the other glass of wine Joseni handed her, "I'm sorry, Ms. Joseni, I can't drink any more, I have to go." ”

"It's okay, this glass is not wine, it's called 'Brilliant Dream' is my specialty. Don't worry, this cup, I please~! Ji Lin looked at her with a smile.

"Dreams? Dreams... Apollil looked at the glass in front of her, and gradually fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong? Child? Do you have doubts and worries about the future? You're still so young, there's nothing to worry about, and besides, with what you've achieved now, you don't have much to worry about in the future. Joseni's words rang out, bringing the young girl back to her senses, who had fallen into deep thought again.

"Well, Ms. Joseni, what do you think of dreams? Is it really necessary to give up everything to pursue it? Apollil decided to listen to the mature lady in front of her.

"Dreams? It's up to you. I'm very simple, find a good man to marry, although there has been a bit of a situation recently that I don't know whether to say good or bad, but overall, it is worth everything I have, even at the cost of my life. With that, Joseni drank the drink in her hand and exhaled, "But, Apollil, I really can't figure out how a little girl like you should worry about the future, you shouldn't be that old yet, well, speaking of which, what are your dreams?" Same as me? ”

"No, well, actually, I don't have any dreams. I ask this mainly because of the situation of a, uh, friend. Apollil blushed and selectively told Joseni about Gallott, of course, hiding the fact that the princess was an investor.

"Tsk, it's your man, right?" After hearing this, Joseni asked in a flirtatious tone, seeing that the girl did not reply, but if you looked closely, you would find that her ears were already red to the base of her ears.

"Hey, I'll take it as you would." When the hotel owner saw this scene, he had an expression that I understood.

"No, no, we're not in this relationship!"

"I won't bother with you! Anyway, your man, well, let's just say your friend, he is a very dead-eyed person, where would ordinary people be apprentices, more than five years! What's more, after the master gave up on him, he was willing to take over the errand that sounded unreliable, and went to fight for a chance. A person like this will not give up until the end. As she listened, Joseni remembered another fool who had consumed her youth for her dreams.

"Lady Joseni, is there nothing that can be done about this? You know, he is not young anymore, and if he continues to waste time like this, his future will be very miserable. The girl was a little worried.

"It's not saved, it's really not saved, this kind of person is like a moth that flies to a candle, either burned to death or extinguished the candle flame. There is no second way, let alone ten years, and it will not change in fifteen years. After speaking, seeing that the girl didn't seem to believe it, Joseni simply talked about her hard-working best friend: "Now, let me tell you about my friend, she is much more pitiful than your friend... Joseni then gave an overview of her friend's tragic experience.

"Huh? It's so pitiful, I lost my parents on the same day. "Well, even so, she's much luckier than me." My father died when I was two years old, and my mother left me when I was four years old. ”

The girl raised her head and continued to tell her past experience: "After that, I was left to my uncle. He's a gambler and he's always been bad to me. Oh, that bastard, for a little money, he sold me to a merchant when I was six years old. He brought me to the kingdom, and I made a little slave in this way. After that, a bastard took a fancy to me and bought me out. He found an old woman to train me, as well as some other girls of the same age, intending to train us to be rangers. I found an opportunity to escape, and then I went to the royal city. ”

Apollil drank her drink, and after a short rest, continued: "At that time, I wandered around the city, scavenging for a living by picking up leftovers and some rotten vegetable leaves that had been thrown away. However, fate did not intend to spare me, and one night I was captured by a gang of thugs, who even intended to sacrifice me and the other poor people who had been captured as sacrifices to some serpent of the end. If I hadn't happened to be rescued, I might have died. ”

"Oh, poor little one! No wonder you are wary of being like a stray feral cat, you really suffer a lot. Ji Lin, make her a cup of 'Sweet Shock'! ”

"Huh? You're so polite, I really can't drink anymore. The girl hurriedly refused.

"It's okay, this wine can be done without alcohol!" Josephne emphasized the word 'alcohol' to Kirin, and then said, "Well, let me guess, the friend you're talking about is one of the people who saved you at the time, right?" ”

"Yes, at that time, the other people who were rescued gradually returned to their families. I, on the other hand, stayed in the mercenary group. He took good care of me when he wasn't leaving, and I used to be very, well, longing for him. Even if he leaves his teammates in the regiment and runs away as an apprentice, I will support it. The girl sighed, "At first, that fool sent letters back every month, and he didn't have a lot of money. Later, I gradually stopped writing letters, but simply sent money. I also wanted to go over and persuade him to give up. It's just that he has been hiding in the palace and will never see me again. ”

"Tsk, the same stinky temper. That friend of yours is a bit like my best friend. For the sake of dreams, you can do nothing. Joseni thought of her friend and felt the same way.

At this time, Ji Lin's wine was also mixed, and Joseni took the wine and handed it to the girl on the side: "Little one, such a person cannot be stopped by persuasion or threat. Well, I think ah, if you're really worried, you might as well support him. That kind of stupidity, that kind of seriousness, it's hard for people to oppose his cause. Be his helper, no matter whether you fail or succeed in the end, no matter how bumpy the road to chasing your dreams is, he needs people like you to support. ”
