"Hey, what's that look at you?"

Feeling Ringer's scrutinizing gaze, Elise showed signs of frenzy again.

Ringer didn't want to provoke her at this time, so he silently withdrew his gaze and walked to the bookshelf next to the alchemy table.

"Are these your recipes for mixing?"

"That's the notes left by the alchemist who used to live here, and I learned my bartending skills from the notes he left behind."

"Alchemy notes? Bartending? ”

A hint of curiosity rose in Ringer's heart, and he took down a thick book from the shelf, written with a faint line of handwriting, "Delicious Plants for Consumption."

After a cursory glance, the plants in this world are recorded in the book, and there are detailed descriptions of where they grow, taste, toxicity, and how to eat them.

The earth's wine is also made from various plants, such as wine made from grapes, beer made from barley malt, rice wine made from rice, millet rice, black rice, corn, glutinous rice, wheat, etc., also known as rice wine, and the famous Tequila, the national drink of Mexico.

In addition, there is a classification of blended liquor, which is based on distilled liquor or brewed liquor, and is blended by blending, soaking, blending and other technological techniques, adding various herbs, medicinal herbs, seeds, and fruits, such as various absinthe of "wine + absinthe", Chinese medicinal liquor soaked in different medicinal materials, etc.

A cursory glance revealed that the characteristics and phases of several plants were very familiar, similar to some of the earth's mixology, and if these plants were used as raw materials, it might be possible to make new wines, and they would be unique to this world.

A strange and unexplored new world of wine seemed to slowly open before his eyes, which excited him more than the discovery that there was magic in this world.

He took another book from the shelf, "Biological Materials for Making Delicious Drinks," and he flipped through a few pages, his face changing.

It was all a collection of strange materials, some of which were even heavy, such as octopus blood, the eyes of the evil eye, the spinal fluid of the thunder leopard, the pituitary gland of the three-legged ape, and some other messy monster organs, and he even saw several kinds of excrement......

He stuffed the book back on the shelf with mixed feelings, and said with some concern:

"Elise, tell me you didn't add eyeballs or anything strange to your guests' glasses."

Elise replied solemnly: "Oh, there is a drink in the notes here, which is to add the eyes of the Centoux to the wine, and then mix it with the milk of the female Chimera, the eyes of the Centoux are small and round, the same as pearls, so this wine is called pearl milk wine." ”

"Did the guest drink it?"

Elise scratched her head a little embarrassed: "I did, but he never came to the store again." ”

Oh my God, no wonder there are so few customers at the Emerald Bar, Ringer groaned inwardly.

There weren't many customers who were qualified to enter the store, and the customers who had finally come were tormented by the demonic wine concocted by Elise, and he suddenly felt a heavy pressure.

If those customers come back, he'll do everything he can to salvage the reputation of the Emerald Bar.

"Where's that notebook?"

Elise took a black notebook from the bookshelf and handed it to Ringer.

"Well, that's it."

The cover of this notebook appears to be made of the skin of some kind of creature, and it is very tough to the touch, with no words on the cover, and a name written in scribbled notes in the lower right corner of the title page.

Rabide Rewa.

That should be the alchemist's name.

In addition to this, there are four words written on this page: Understand, Decompose, Transform, Build.

This is probably the idea of this alchemist named Rabid.

Ringer continued to flip through it, and the notebook began as a serious study of alchemy, recording Rabid's alchemy experience, and the front page was full of strange symbols and patterns, accompanied by obscure and even completely incomprehensible words.

But in the later part, strange recipes begin to appear, along with the feeling after drinking and the direction of modification.

For example, this drink called "Moon Killer":

5 grams of Darimer pollen, 20 ml of fresh silver krait blood, 3 grams of resentful spirit dust, 40 ml of ale wine, the color after mixing is very beautiful, reddish and cool, a bit like the noble wine of the royal capital, the taste is refreshing and slightly bitter, but the stamina is very strong, if you can add the blood of the advanced species of the silver snake of the silver krait, it may help to improve the taste......

At one point, the obscure words and mysterious patterns are gone, and only strange recipes and assumptions remain, and on that page contains the confessional declaration of an alchemist named Rabid:

O god of alchemy, great sage Hodheim, please give me guidance on whether the sacred stone that holds the mystery of eternal life really exists. I have spent my life studying alchemy, and I have not figured out how to refine the sacred stone, and I don't even see hope, but my beautiful long hair that shines as bright as the sun has all left me. Forgive your humble devotee, Hodheim, the god of alchemy, for I have used alchemy to satisfy my own vile appetites and will be utterly depraved. The insignificant alchemy apprentice Rabbid respectfully.

Ringer silently closed his notes.

There is no doubt that this alchemist named Rabide was a pioneer in the world of bartending, and perhaps he stumbled upon these things in the course of his study of alchemy, so he recorded them.

Although some strange materials were added because of alchemy, his approach was absolutely groundbreaking, and if he had studied not alchemy in the first place, but wine, he would have become a legendary bartender.

It's a pity that his notes didn't circulate, and the only successor was a stupid spider who didn't know how to mix at all.

Elise was keenly aware that Ringer was looking at her, and there was an inexplicable sadness and sympathy in her gaze, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Hey, if you look at me like that again, I'm going to beat you up."

It's so sensitive, is this spider sensing?

Ringer silently withdrew his gaze, put the notes back on the shelf, and said, "Can I make a copy of these books on the shelf?" ”

"Copy?"

Ringer pulled out a photocopied spellbook he had bought from Alison's magic shop, and some of the pages were still empty.

"It's what it means to copy."

"Oh? Do you want to learn the recipe above? ”

Ringer shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't dare to add some strange dirty things to the guest's wine glass, just as a reference, maybe I can develop a wine that belongs to this world." ”

"You still have an idea, okay, but after you develop a new formula, you have to teach me as soon as possible."

"No problem."

Ringer readily agreed, and entered all the books on the bookshelf into the photocopied magic book, planning to read slowly after going back, anyway, there are no customers in the store now, and there is time every day.

When he turned, he saw a fist-sized spider hanging into Elise's ear, as if to say something to her.

Elise gave a surprised look.

"Oh? Someone broke into the depths of the cave? ”
