Louis blinked.

Are you really coming? Louis said softly, "Actually, before coming to Tunisia, I prepared a gift for you."

Beatrice's eyes lit up: "What gift?"

Louis said softly, "Do you remember the perfume that Meyer Chamber of Commerce launched before?"

"Ah? Are those perfumes that were popular among the nobles of Enser before? I heard that many young nobles love the perfumes you make."

Louis chuckled.

Perfume was not Louis' specialty in his previous life.

The Star Continent has developed for so many years, and there are many people who love beauty, so perfume is a natural thing.

But it's just perfume.

Perfumes in the 21st century are no longer just about the aroma, but the stories and words behind the perfume.

Simply put, you also need to learn how to tell a good story to maximize the charm of perfume.

Louis's love of perfume is related to Kino's teaching.

It was only later that he found out that Master Jinuo had a wife who was a pastor of the Church of Love.

At first, the Meyer Chamber of Commerce only put a batch of ordinary perfumes on the shelves.

But this situation changed at the end of last year.

Gino found Louis and asked him if he had any good perfume recommendations.

Louis was very upset at the time: "How should I know if you ask me this? I'm not a perfume maker!"

He couldn't give an answer to this question.

Jinuo said unconvincedly, "Your Meyer Chamber of Commerce has purchased so many products, don't you want to learn more about them?"

Louis said to Gino very seriously at that time:

"Although the Meyer Chamber of Commerce must have flagship products, it also needs some mid-level products to serve as a facade. I don't know what the specific mid-level products are."

"So I usually leave these matters to my people to handle."

"Leaving professional matters to professionals is my creed in business."

This made Keno very disappointed.

He told Louis: "Your master's wife's birthday is coming soon. I want to give her a perfume, but I don't know how to choose."

Louis said, "Teacher Jinuo, you shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing. Other chambers of commerce are definitely better at selecting professional perfumes than I am."

But Gino told Louis: "Those chambers of commerce usually involve middle and senior management. If I ask them for their opinions, the news will spread to other colleagues in the same industry."

Louis immediately understood Kino's concerns.

Keno is different from the others.

He is the captain of the Royal Guard.

It is the representative of military force in the Mesozoic era of the empire.

If he reveals his attitude, it will easily give some chambers of commerce the opportunity to take advantage of him.

After all…even Louis himself has done this.

The reputation of the Sapphire Dragon couple has spread far and wide at the Meyer Chamber of Commerce.

Are you saying that the Sapphire Dragon couple didn’t know about this?

Of course they know.

But they acquiesced.

The Sapphire Dragon Clan only has these living dragons.

They couldn't directly back Meyer, but they allowed Meyer to borrow some of their reputation.

This is the only care that the two dragons can give to Meyer, the "junior".

"Teacher Jinuo, aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of your reputation? Don't forget, my identity now is Mayer, and I will do 'things that only Mayer would do'."

Louis is Mayer, but Mayer is not Louis.

It’s not that Louis is just bored and does this seemingly schizophrenic operation.

He needs to separate these three identities.

A wise and intelligent imperial prince.

A cynical top businessman.

A new adventurer who will do anything to survive.

These are the labels he puts on these three identities.

He had a hunch.

Whether it is Mayer or Caesar, separating these two identities from himself will help him plan for the future.

"To be pragmatic, if I wasn't Mayer, it would be much more difficult to build a good relationship with Sean and Fafner."

"If I were not Mayer, and wanted to smoothly integrate into the new nobility as a prince, many people would have unnecessary speculations."

"Even if I don't want to do anything to them, my identity will eventually make them more worried."

"I don't want to make more money. Making money is just a means for the identity of 'Meyer' to achieve my goal."

Louis half-jokingly said:

"So, Mr. Jinuo, if you ask me this, it will actually be exactly what I want!"

"Meyer, but he is very greedy."

But he didn't expect that Jinuo laughed when he heard it:

"It doesn't matter who you give it to. If I don't leave it to my apprentice, should I leave it to those guys who curry favor with the powerful?"

…

Louis looked at Beatrice speechlessly and said, "Is Teacher Gino like this before?"

Beatrice was also amused when she heard this anecdote: "Mr. Gino is always very good to his own people, although he does play a little crazy sometimes."

“But there is no doubt that he is a trustworthy leader of the Tino royal family and a trustworthy boss to his subordinates.”

"You don't think he got this far just by pure strength, do you?"

Louis nodded.

The military and politicians are different.

Compared to the intrigues among politicians, there will be more harmony within the chapter.

The sense of identity forged by sweating together on the training ground.

The sense of belonging that comes from trusting each other in times of danger.

These will guide the relationship between superiors and subordinates to be as close as brothers.

Beatrice asked curiously, "So, you started studying perfume copywriting after the incident with Mr. Gino?"

Louis nodded:

"Do you want to listen? The story of Mr. Kino and his wife."

Beatrice says:

"I've actually heard it before, but I want to hear it again... Tell me about it."

She paused and said:

"And didn't you notice? Now you don't call him a tutor, you call him a teacher."

"Louis, you actually recognize Mr. Gino, right?"

Louis hesitated for a moment: "Haven't I always approved of Mr. Jinuo?"

Beatrice shook her head. "This is different. Haven't you noticed? When you interact with many people, you always feel extremely distant."

"It's as if no one can get into your heart."

"So much so that sometimes I feel you are quite indifferent."

Louis was stunned for a moment.

After a moment I understood the root of the matter.

He laughed at himself:

“It is not easy for a person who is alone and wandering in a foreign land to get close to others.”

The love for one's hometown is something that only those who have lost it can deeply understand.

He said to Beatrice:

"You know I have the habit of keeping a diary, and I use the language of my hometown to write it."

"I thought at the time that if we were all gone one day, I would scatter the diary all over the world, so that maybe one day my fellow villagers would be able to read it."

"At least he will know that he is not alone in this world."

"But I didn't tell you why I founded the Meyer Chamber of Commerce in the first place, did I?"

Beatrice looked at him quietly, and she suddenly felt that Louis seemed to have a lot to say today.

She had actually noticed it a long time ago.

Beneath Louis' cynical appearance, there is a heart that she cannot understand at all.

She couldn't understand.

But she wanted to hear him.

Tell his past story.

She just thought that maybe this way she could get closer to him.

So, she was like holding a cracked raw egg.

Carefully pick up the broken eggshell, afraid of touching the fragile membrane inside the eggshell.

Perhaps he also noticed his own caution.

So today, he was finally willing to talk to her more.

Louis smiled and said:

"I told you Chinese food is from my hometown."

Beatrice nodded.

Louis said: "I wrote my diary and founded the Meyer Chamber of Commerce so that things from my hometown could take root in this land."

"This way, when fellow villagers come here and eat their hometown food, they may not feel so lonely."

At this moment, Beatrice suddenly felt her heart pierced.

What a bullshit that fellow villagers won’t be lonely.

He is the one who is wandering in a foreign land!

At least his fellow villagers can still reminisce the taste of their hometown through the treasures he left behind.

But what about you?

You can only rely on your own memory to recreate the taste of your hometown.

I can only dream of returning to my hometown.

Then when you wake up, you will remember that you can't go back.

In a trance, she remembered what her father had said to her.

The Emperor said: "The seven deadly sins represent the seven original sins of mankind, but they are also seven different desires."

"When you desire something extremely strongly, the Seven Deadly Sins will actively respond to your call when they are promoted."

"This is probably the last bit of tenderness that the Great Sin left for the host."

It was also at this moment that Beatrice finally understood why Louis had awakened his [greedy desire for knowledge].

What he covets is not so-called knowledge.

He was just scared.

Afraid that the scissors of time will cut his memory into pieces bit by bit.

Afraid that all the reflections of his past would be cut into pieces.

Then.

I woke up on a certain day of a certain year.

His memory shattered like bubbles.

Then he must be very sad.

He doesn't want to forget.

At least remember it in your dreams, right? [Greedy Curiosity] is Louis' first skill.

It represents Louis' ultimate desire at that time.

She could even imagine the echoes in Louis' heart when the great sin of greed responded to his call.

"Greed, if you are really that powerful, then please protect my memory. At least let me not forget it."

So at that moment, it responded to his call.

A voracious thirst for knowledge was born.

"Louis, is this why you don't fit in with everyone else?"

Beatrice seemed to understand.

But inexplicably, an indescribable anger arose.

Louis' hometown is no longer there.

That area has turned into a dead zone.

This was something she already knew before she came into contact with Louis.

If only there was even a trace left.

Then she could at least…at least find a way to make him happy.

"The Abyss Church deserves to die. Those who believe in the Abyss should be sent directly to hell to reunite with their Lord."

Beatrice reaffirmed this idea in her heart.

Perhaps he sensed the low pressure at the scene.

Louis looked at her speechlessly:

"Don't look at me with such pity, Beatrice. Although I may feel sad sometimes, I am not stuck in the past."

"And didn't you also say that? I now call Jinuo my teacher, which means I am accepting everything that is happening now."

Beatrice nodded.

She understands.

Men are always like this.

I always think that I have to shoulder everything by myself.

It is not until I can no longer bear it that I tell others about it as if to vent.

If Louis knew what Beatrice was thinking at this moment, he would probably feel helpless.

He really just did it out of interest...

That’s right, isn’t it?

He smiled and said, "Let's continue with the story behind Meyer perfume."

"Um."

Beatrice's voice became softer.

If Little Swan saw Sister Wang like this, he would probably shiver.

When did the strong Sister Wang show such a gentle expression?

Louis nodded slightly and talked about what happened more than a month ago.

…

"Huh? You want me to make perfume for you?"

Louis looked at Jinuo speechlessly: "Teacher Jinuo, do you think I am someone who can make perfume? To be frank, I don't have the talent to be a perfume maker at all. You are making it too difficult for me."

Jinuo patted his pectoral muscles and said, "You think too much. Succubi are natural perfume makers. For you, it's just a matter of whether you want to do it or not, not whether you can do it or not."

"If all else fails, go ask the Church of Love. They have many top perfume makers who can make perfumes."

Louis pinched his brows and said:

"Teacher, can't you just ask yourself?"

"I'm afraid of being beaten," said Jinuo .

"ah?"

"I was almost blacklisted by the Church of Love because I often laughed at the dark side of Love in front of the Church of Love."

Kino said with a smug look on his face.

Louis had an even bigger headache.

He actually didn't want to deal with those people in the church.

After all, his identity is somewhat subtle.

Succubus + Sin Incarnation + Sin Dragon Armor.

Judging from this series of identities, it’s good enough that no one suspects that he has done a lot of evil.

He was really worried about causing trouble in the church.

But since Teacher Kino said so, he had no reason not to help.

In fact, if Mr. Kino is willing, he can ask someone to help inquire. Even custom-made high-end perfumes can be easily obtained.

But he didn't do that.

It's not that he's really being pretentious.

Instead, he wanted to try to mix a bottle of high-end perfume himself.

For him, who is a little clumsy in expressing his emotions, these are the most touching love words he can think of.

In the end, Louis transformed himself into Mayer and found the Church of Eros.

The church did not make things difficult for him and arranged a senior perfume maker for him.

She was an incredibly gentle lady.

Louis asked her how to make perfume.

Louis told her that the person who wanted to customize the perfume was a powerful warrior.

He wanted to customize a gift for his lover, so he entrusted it to their Meyer Chamber of Commerce.

At that time, Louis only felt that the lady's expression seemed a little surprised.

So she said:

"What do you think?"

What could Louis say? He could only say:

"I heard that gentleman's wife was a gentle and insightful minister."

"That gentleman always likes to tell me that he got his wife's attention by making her angry."

"But I think a pastor who is good at reading people's hearts can't fail to see what he is thinking."

"So I hope you can help me think of some high-end perfumes that can do this."

The pastor's expression at that time was extremely subtle.

Louis explained: "It's really my client, not my friend, and certainly not me."

The female pastor nodded: "I understand."

"Let me see how to make incense."

Louis was delighted and said, "Thank you for your help. I'll give you the reward first. Please don't despise me. This is the most liquid cash he can afford."

He pondered and said, "Please add a little of this if you can."

Louis waved his hand and two bottles of potion fell into his hands.

[Venom Synthesis Vision]

[Venom Synthesis·Aphrodisiac]

He said proudly: "This is the masterpiece of a friend of mine."

"The vision toxin was neutralized by his exquisite craftsmanship, eliminating most of the vision effects, leaving only the effect of 'evoking fond memories in others'."

"The part of the aphrodisiac that pollutes other people's minds has been cleared, leaving only the effect of 'arousing the fire of love'."

"It's a pity that this thing is just an experimental product and there is no way to scale up production. Otherwise, I think we could develop a lot of high-quality products."

The female pastor was really shocked this time: "Has anyone ever told you that you are a natural perfume maker?"

Louis nodded and said, "But I'm not interested."

The female pastor shook her head. "When you find someone you want to send it to, you will be interested again."

"Maybe, let's see."

“Have you ever thought about naming this future perfume?”

Louis pondered for a moment, raised his head and said:

“Then let’s call it ‘The Nun’.”

He hummed softly, "In the name of abstinence, one does things that seduce."

Just now, he couldn't help but think of the copywriting of Lutens perfume "The Nun" in his previous life, so he blurted it out.

The female pastor was stunned for a moment, and a hint of smile flashed in her eyes: "Okay, then let's call it "Nun"."

…

"And then?"

Beatrice said anxiously:

"What about below? Is it gone?"

Louis coughed and said:

"The following is a bit too embarrassing. Anyway, it took me a while to learn the formula of "The Nun"."

"Then I spent a long time teaching Mr. Jinuo how to prepare "The Nun"."

"I wasted a lot of raw materials before I was able to prepare a qualified "Nun", and then..."

Beatrice's eyebrows curved, and she couldn't suppress her smile: "Why recommend the Church of Love when there are so many people to recommend? Mr. Kino is also confused."

Louis said sadly: "Yes, that day after Mr. Jinuo's wedding anniversary, he invited me to his home for dinner, and then I saw his wife..."

"It was the priest who taught me how to configure The Nun."

"She looked at me in a funny way."

"He even specifically read me the line 'In the name of abstinence, one does things that seduce others'..."

Just thinking about the scene at that time, Louis felt like he was about to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with his toes.

Beatrice snorted softly, "The pastor of the Church of Love is the one who has witnessed the most love affairs."

"If they want to, it's easy for them to have a relationship."

"Louis, don't be so naive. It was Teacher Jinuo who fell into the trap. The Master's wife is the hunter."

Louis shook his head and said, "You may have forgotten one thing, Beatrice."

Beatrice was puzzled: "What is it?"

Louis said, "Teacher Jinuo may not have noticed this, but do you really think that he recommended me to learn incense making at the Church of Love God because he was confused?"

Louis was at least 80% sure that this time, he acted as a messenger of sweet love between the two.

It was just the words he left behind that revealed the tip of the iceberg of this story.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile: "A nun who, in the name of abstinence, engages in seductive acts!"

"What is more advanced than high-end perfume is the copywriting behind the perfume. It is because of this that I came up with the idea of ​​running the perfume industry well."
