Chapter 21: The Quality of the Frost Star Rune Company's Circle
At this moment, Andre was in the kitchen making the unique pies of the Tianluo Empire, the delicious salad from the Shire Empire, and all kinds of appetizing snacks, but he was humming a song lightly, when he suddenly heard an extremely harsh hissing sound, and his heart suddenly felt extremely bad.
Sure enough, after only ten minutes, the soothing soft hum of the Frost Circle suddenly disappeared.
Andrei put down the dough in his hand, stomped his foot hard, and said, "Oh no! those adults have to come here tonight to play cards!"
He hurried into the utility room where the main switch of the magic net was installed, and pressed the switches one by one, but unfortunately, all this was useless.
Oh my God, Mr. Dale is going to be angry!
Andre knew how much his master looked forward to the card meeting every Friday night, which had been a tradition for many years, and the attendees were always those celebrities, and the ghost weather of late summer in the Southern Fortress was probably only endured by the big and rough, and without the frost circle to cool down, there was no doubt that the room would be unbearably hot!
André returned to the living room and glanced at the big clock on the wall, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the guests would arrive at eight o'clock.
To tell the truth, André wanted to call Mr. Dale and tell him about this extremely bad and extraordinarily unfortunate thing, but he suddenly remembered that the chief justice had said that he was going to appear in court all day today, so don't bother him.
It's really going to kill people!
Andrei took out a black-skinned pocket number book from the kitchen drawer, found the number, and dialed the communication crystal.
After the bell rang three times, a rather shrill voice said, "This is Froststar Service Company, and our maintenance personnel are not available right now." If you can leave your name, address and a simple description, we will rush to you as soon as possible. Please wait for the signal. ”
Hell, it's only in this Duchy of Sco, which believes in some kind of "automation", that you have to talk to machines!
André heard a tiresome scream coming from the microphone, and then immediately said into the microphone: "Mr. Dale Moen's house, 42 Charles Street, our frost circle is out of order, please send someone as soon as possible." Be quick!"
Without waiting too long, he slammed the crystal down - of course the maintenance personnel would not be available. The frost circles in this damn city are probably all gone, and of course it's impossible for the nets and circles to survive this damn weather.
Alas, I wish someone would come soon, Mr. Dale's temper is so great, it's just too big.
In the three years that André had worked as a cook for the justice, he knew how powerful his master was, to an astonishing degree. No matter how arrogant the person is, he will become low-voiced in front of him, and as soon as he "snaps" his fingers, people will jump in fright.
Andrei felt that the house was getting hotter and hotter, and if he didn't take measures quickly, he was afraid that the house would become a steamer.
He muttered to himself as he slipped the sausage, for some reason, he always had a terrible feeling that something was going to happen at night.
Thirty minutes later, when the doorbell rang, Andrei's clothes were soaked with sweat and the kitchen was as hot as a stove. He hurried to open the door.
Two workers in overalls stood in the doorway, carrying toolboxes in their hands, one of them a tall, sturdy man, the other a somewhat short, fat man, obviously a young man, with a sleepy, tired and impatient look on his face, and in the lane behind them, their work car was parked.
Andrei could see that the short, fat man was supposed to be a runemaster hired by him, and the sturdy man was probably his assistant to help him with some of the messy chores.
"Is there something wrong with your frost circle?" the sturdy man asked.
"Oh, thank goodness you're here. Hurry up and fix it, the guests will be there in a moment. ”
The short and fat man walked over to the stove, sniffed the pie that was baking, and said, "It smells so good." ”
"Please," André urged, "hurry up!"
"Let's check the general formation first," said the little fat man, "where is it?"
"Follow me. ”
Andre led them through a corridor to the utility room where the Demon Net Array was located.
"It's okay with this part, Ralph. The little fat man said to his companion.
"Yes, Clooney, there's no better device than this. ”
"Then why doesn't it move?" asked Andrei, a little stupidly.
The two men turned to stare at him, and looked at Andre with a little hair.
"What are you in a hurry," said the little fat man known as Clooney, a little annoyed, as he knelt and opened a small door in the lower part of the rune circle, took out the lantern for lighting, and craned his neck to look inside, "We've only been here for less than ten minutes, okay?"
After a while, he stood up and shook his head, "There's nothing wrong here. ”
"What's wrong with that?"
"It must have been in which circle of runes was melted. Maybe there's something wrong with the whole circle. How many Frost Circle Soul Release Places do you have?"
"There was one in every room. Let me think...... There are at least nine of them. ”
"That's probably the problem. The Frost Soul exceeded the maximum load it could bear. Let's go and see. ”
The three of them walked through the foyer to the living room, and Ralph couldn't help but say, "What a beautiful place Mr. Dale lives." ”
It must be said that the living room is quite elegantly furnished, filled with very valuable antiques signed by experts, the floor is covered with pastel-colored carpets, and on the left of the living room is a large dining room, and on the right is a study with a large card table covered with a green tablecloth, and in the corner of the room is a round table for dinner.
The two workers entered the study, and Clooney held up the lantern and shone it behind the rune board at the top of the wall.
"Hmm," he muttered, then looked up at the ceiling above the table and asked, "What's above the roof?"
"Loft. ”
"Let's see. ”
The two workers followed Andre up to the attic. It was a long, low room, covered in dust and cobwebs.
Clooney walked over to the magic net installed on the wall, examined the intricate runes, and whispered excitedly:
"Hah!"
"Did you find anything?" asked Andrei anxiously.
"It's a rune insurance problem, can you understand? Hundreds of families have approached us this week, and the result is the same reason......
The short man looked like he was about to make a tirade, and Andrei hurriedly interrupted him:
"Oh my God, is it going to take a long time?"
"Soon to be fine," Ralph patted Andre on the shoulder, "we have a brand new rune board in our car. ”
"Hurry up, then," Enderick pleaded, "and Mr. Dale will be home soon." ”
"Don't worry. Clooney said, "I've written nine thousand, if not ten thousand, but nine thousand. ”
Andrei looked at the confident little fat man, nodded and said, "I have to go to the kitchen and prepare the salad dressing." Can you come down from the attic yourself?"
Ralph held up a hand. "Don't worry, man. You're busy with yours, we're busy with ours. ”
"Oh, thank you, thank you. ”
Andrei watched as the two men walked over to the work cart and came back with two large canvas bags. "If you need anything," he said to them, "just call me." ”
"Don't worry!"
The two men climbed the stairs, and André returned to the kitchen and began to prepare the food intensively.
Ralph and Clooney, or rather, the fourth brother of the Two Wolf Thieves, Ralph and Zhao Qianyu, returned to the attic, opened the canvas bag, and pulled out a small folding chair for camping, a drill bit, a plate of sandwiches, two cans of beer, a half-finished version of the Eagle's Eye rune that could observe distant objects in the dim light, and two live hamsters injected with anesthetic.
These two people really got to work.
"Big brother will be proud of me. Ralph laughed and said, Zhao Qianyu leaned over, carved the eagle's eye seriously, and did not speak.
......
......
At 6:30 a.m., the two men returned to Andrei's kitchen, covered in sweat and dirt.
"Is it fixed?" asked Andrei anxiously.
"It's fucking hard to fix," Clooney said tiredly, "You see, most of this rune has been melted down, and—"
"Leave it alone," Andrei interrupted him impatiently, "have you fixed it?"
"Alright, it's all fixed. In another five minutes, we'll have it running like new. ”
"That scares people! Please leave the bill on the kitchen table. ”
Ralph shook his head, "Don't worry, the company will send you the bill." ”
"It's thanks to the two of you. ”
André watched the two men leave with their canvas bags, waved goodbye to them, and then went back to the kitchen to get about his business.
At the same time, Zhao Qianyu and Ralph walked into the courtyard from the back door, opened and laid countless magic nets, but at this time there was a huge box that was abruptly blank. Ralph held the lantern high, and Zhao Qianyu reconnected the rune board he had removed an hour or two, or maybe three hours ago, and the frost circle was immediately operational.
Ralph copied down the number attached to the label of the net, and after a while, dialed the teleportation crystal from that number.
When he heard the recording of the questioning from Froststar Services, Al said, "This is the home of the Dale Moen family at 42 Charle Street. Our Frost Circle is working so well now that we don't have to send anyone. Thank you. ”
