Ringer returned to Emerald alone, while Crimson remained on Luphy's ship.

Eventually, Lufi accepted Crimson's request and decided to put aside her plan to chase the black mermaid Fisy for the time being, and first intercept the exile ship where the Sun Prince was staying, and then inform Ringer in the store of her next move.

For her, it was a risky political investment, and if the hapless prince regained the throne in the future, she would at least reap a staggering reward.

Of course, if he failed, his ambitious uncle would have troubled her, but at sea, she had never been afraid of anyone. What's more, the Garama Empire's control over the sea is not strong.

Ringer did not leave immediately when he returned to the shop, but walked to a small wine table and sat down.

Elise and Lanya and the others left, and now he was the only one in the store, and after he sat down, his eyes slowly swept over the tables and chairs in the hall, and every crystal clear wine glass on the bar, and every bottle of wine on the wine cabinet.

After closing, the emerald was eerily quiet, there was no sound in the hall, and no sound could be heard outside the door, and time seemed to freeze here.

Ordinary people may think this is a little scary, but Ringer enjoys the absolute silence.

He closed his eyes and seemed to hear whispers coming from the wine cabinet, and when he opened his eyes to look at the wine cabinet, the sounds disappeared again, and only bottles of wine were quietly placed on the cabinet.

He stood up, walked into the bar, took a bottle of Shirley from the wine cabinet, smiled softly, and whispered to it, "Soon I will be able to hear you, your real voice." ”

His fingers brushed the bottle gently, as if caressing the girl's skin.

At this moment, two short bells suddenly sounded from his pants, breaking the quiet atmosphere. He took out his phone and saw the store manager's reply message:

"You don't have to ask me about such trivial things in the future, you can use the things in the store, even Elise and Nilou, as long as you have the ability. The next time I come to the store, don't let me down. ”

The above one was sent by Ringer before going to work, and it read: "Store manager, can you use the wine in the store to develop a new wine?" ”

Because he was going to bring the wine outside the store this time, he sent a message to ask the store manager, and judging from the store manager's reply, the store manager didn't care about him using the wine in the store.

However, the redundant content in this reply couldn't help but make him laugh, what is called Elise and Nilou is no problem, if the two of them see this news, Nilou may still be able to calm down, but Elise will definitely blow up on the spot.

But Elise's angry look is quite funny. Uh, what was I thinking......

He smiled and shook his head, put away his boring thoughts, and replied:

"Thank you, manager, I promise you won't be disappointed."

After the message was sent, he waited for a while, but did not receive a reply, then put away his phone and prepared to leave.

Then he suddenly had a feeling of being watched, which startled him, and he looked around the store, and soon found the source of that strange gaze.

A pair of eyes open on the bar door.

It was a pair of beautiful green eyes, like two beautiful gems, that were turning slightly, as if they were observing him.

And under those jewel-like eyes, there is a small and delicate nose, and a small mouth with delicate corners of the mouth.

"Door Spirit?" Ringer stared at those eyes in surprise, "When did you get your eyes?" ”

"Just now." The doorling blinked and replied. Its voice seems to have gotten better, changing from a high-pitched childish voice to a soft girly voice.

Hearing the voice of the door spirit, Ringer thought to himself, if the door is also divided into male and female, then this must be a small female door. Well...... It sounds a little weird, but whether it's its voice, or the facial features that have grown, it's biased towards women, there's no doubt about it.

The door spirit stared at Ringer's face curiously and said, "Is this what you look like?" It looks pleasing to the eye. ”

Ringer asked, "Will you grow anything else in the future?" Like hands and feet? "If a door grows legs, will it run away?

"Of course," replied the Doorling, "my goal is to condense a complete body and travel around the world again. ”

Ringer keenly picked up some information from its words and asked, "Have you ever had a body before?" ”

"Yes, but it broke down later."

"Was your body a man or a woman?"

A hint of thought flashed in the door spirit's eyes, and then he replied, "It seems to be a girl, I don't remember exactly." ”

"And do you remember how that body broke down?"

"I don't remember, I just remember that I went to many places, and the only places I can remember are those places."

"Is there anything I can do for you?" The Door Spirit has helped him many times, and he also wants to do something for the Door Spirit.

"As long as there are more customers in the store and everyone is happy, it will speed up the speed at which I can gather my body, so you just need to work hard."

"It's natural, and even if you don't say it, I'll do it," Ringer said, "Is there any other way I can help you?" ”

"It's gone. Since you came to the store, the customers have started to increase, and everyone is satisfied after drinking the wine you made, and I was able to grow eyes and nose within a month. If it were Elise's useless fellow, I don't know how long it would take to grow to this point. She's really dumb, at least downright dumb when it comes to bartending. Menling's little nose wrinkled slightly, and she commented slightly on Elise's previous poor work.

Ringer chatted with Menling for about half an hour before he prepared to leave.

Hearing that he was leaving, the door spirit said, "Hey, is this leaving?" The voice sounded a little lost.

Ringer felt a little strange, today the door spirit not only had eyes, but also seemed to have become more emotional, and when the two of them were chatting, he noticed this, and this was especially evident in its lost tone at this time.

"Didn't you stay in the store for a while before, why don't you stay tonight?" The door spirit said.

"Next time, I still have important things to do, please send me to Demon King City."

"Okay."

"Good night, Miss Menling."

This time the Doorling didn't question Ringer's name for it, perhaps because it remembered something, or if it had awakened something.

It silently watched Ringer with those emerald eyes, watching him turn off the lights, watching him open himself, close it softly, and leave.

As Ringer gently closed the door, the last glimmer of light disappeared through the crack in the door, and the bar fell into absolute darkness, absolute silence.

Until the girl's self-talk sounded in the darkness, but the voice was so vague that it was hard to hear.

Some people died, but not completely......
