Chapter 5: The Duke's Confidante
"I don't know, I asked Lolita, but she didn't want to say," Su Ya's question, Margaret really didn't know, and said naturally, "She's not an undead magician, in such a bloody place as the Colosseum, there must be a lot of undead, maybe she went to catch the undead!"
"Probably not. "The reason why Suya is so sure is because Lolita once said that most of the undead who die in pain will become resentful spirits, and only evil necromancers will collect them, and her master will never allow her to do this - resentful spirits have the power of resentment, and their attack power and spirituality are stronger than ordinary undead, but it is also easy to turn against the mage itself - this is a shortcut, but not the right way.
Suya told Margaret what Lolita had said, and Margaret muttered, "Why isn't Lolita an evil mage?" with a worried look on her face. Su Ya was also not very relieved, she tried to recall Lolita's recent actions, it seems that a week ago, Lolita was really unhappy to mention to herself that the master was delayed and could not come to the imperial capital. I was busy refining "magic pearl powder" at the time, so I casually appeased her a few words, thinking that Lolita would eat and drink here anyway, so I would just play for a few more days, and I didn't take it too seriously. After that, Lolita ran out more diligently, Su Ya thought that she was a child who was playful, it didn't seem to be: "Margaret, can you take me with you to the Imperial Capital Colosseum to find Lolita?"
Margaret wanted to go, but she was a little sour: "Sure enough, Suya, your favorite is Lolita!"
Why do the creatures around her have their own jealousy attributes, Su Ya was so helpless, she took out a crystal gourd bottle from the magic bag and stuffed it into Margaret's hand: "Hide it!"
"What?"
Su Ya whispered with a mysterious face: "This is the 'magic pearl powder' that Lolita asked me to ask me many times, but I didn't give her any 'magic pearl powder'!" Because she didn't have any surplus before, she had just been mass-produced, and she hadn't had time to give it to Lolita, of course, Su Ya naturally wouldn't tell the truth.
Margaret pursed her lips and was amused. I lifted it up and looked at it for a long time, and then I carefully stuffed it into the embroidery bag I was carrying, looked up and said to Su Ya embarrassedly: "Well, that, thank you, then I'll take it, in fact, my mother and aunt have always wanted it!"
"Don't worry, it's enough, this bottle is the amount that was given to Prime Minister Hepburn for ten copies. ”
"So many?" said Margaret, in surprise.
"Shhhh "I have to give the rest to little Mr. Raymond as a gift, let's go, accompany me to his office first, otherwise, with the army outside, I don't think I will be able to get out of Golden Lane." ”
Margaret looked at the five bottles a little reluctantly, but she also knew that these Suya had to be given away, and the women in the entire imperial capital didn't want to have them. Even Margaret wants to hide a little bit for herself, and wants to wait for the wrinkles to grow one day in the future, so that she can get rid of them quickly!
Su Ya changed her clothes, and saw the blood of the magic tower on her chest flashing again. Hearing Tarot's confirmation in his mind about returning to the magic tower space, he and Lolita walked out of the castle and headed to Mr. Raymond's office in the other direction of the Golden Lane.
Although Golden Lane is named after the lane, it is actually. The whole street is quite spacious and atmospheric, allowing four carriages to run side by side without congestion, and the ground is paved with various pearls and gemstones as rumored. Of course. In order to prevent people from walking and taking it, the ground of the pearl gemstone is still protected by a soft resin film.
Su Ya once asked little Raymond the meaning of such a design, and Mr. Raymond replied like this: "We do this definitely not to show off our wealth, we just want everyone to enjoy the highest quality foot acupressure!"
Take pearls and gemstones to massage acupuncture points, well, such a practical design, it is really not to show off wealth, Su Ya smiled "hehe" at that time, and saw through the red dust.
However, to be honest, Golden Lane does have the confidence to do so.
Su Ya walked on the street, and the silver medals hanging on her waist kept coming out of the silver light, melting with the signboards of various stores, and when the silver light flew back again, they all turned into silver subtitles, flashing in front of her eyes. The subtitles are the details of the goods and income and expenses of each store on both sides of the street, and as the holder of the silver medal, Su Ya can see it clearly.
It can be said that every store in Golden Lane can make money every day, and this kind of earning power is tsk.
Of course, she also has a part of the credit for this recently. Su Ya thought a little smugly, then shouldn't she give little Mr. Raymond some construction and make the houses on both sides of the street of Golden Lane a little taller? You know, except for her castle, the other houses are half on the ground and half underground, and the space inside is quite spacious, but when you enter the door, you have to bow down to go in, which is very inconvenient.
"I'm sorry, no, Mistress Sua," unexpectedly, little Mr. Raymond rejected her offer, "The house in Golden Lane is the property of the Dwarves, and the City of Time is just rented. ”
"Uh, it's a dwarf!" No wonder the houses are so short, Su Ya recalled that when she was on the Ice Island before, the dwarf Uncle Arthur did live in this kind of house, but she also vaguely remembered that Uncle Arthur said that outside of the Ice and Snow Island, the relationship between other races and humans was not very friendly, and there was basically no contact.
I didn't expect the City of Time to be an exception, so speaking of which, it is not an accident that the Tree of Life magic wand can be given by the Elven Queen under the crown of Ding?
Su Ya curiously listened to the gossip, but little Mr. Raymond just smiled: "Lord Su Ya, you don't know about this kind of confidential matter, how can you know about it as your subordinate?"
╭(╯^╰)╮ Sure enough, there is no treachery, and she plays tricks with her, yes, she doesn't ask if she can't do it, anyway, it has nothing to do with her! Su Ya angrily threw five crystal gourd bottles to him, asked for a luxury carriage, and went to the imperial capital with Margaret!
As soon as she walked out of Golden Lane, Margaret let the carriage and Su Ya's carriage run side by side, and opened the curtain and said, "Su Ya, why do you want a carriage alone, can't you sit with me?"
"Because I'm going to come back later, so I don't need you to send it anymore!" Such a simple logic, Margaret, the eldest lady, is awkward about something, Su Ya is a little inexplicable.
"Oh," Margaret replied sullenly, and after a moment lifted the curtain again. "Don't you really mind the first time we meet, I won't let you ride in the carriage?"
She is such a person who holds grudges, Su Ya said helplessly: "You think too much, I have long forgotten about that incident." ”
"But," Margaret's eyes wandered, and her voice grew lower, "but I still wanted to say 'I'm sorry' to you, not your angel cat, back then." I shouldn't discriminate against you just because you're a civilian. ”
"It's okay, misunderstandings happen every day if you don't understand," Su Ya didn't expect Margaret to still remember to say "I'm sorry" to her, a little moved, put her hand out of the window, and pulled her hand, "Actually, I'm honored that you are willing to let go of your prejudices." Come get to know me and be friends with me. ”
Margaret blushed and replied, "I'm honored to be friends with you," and quickly lowered the curtain again.
Su Ya couldn't help but sigh. I didn't expect the eldest lady with her eyes above the top to become so cute, is it because her charm value has improved?!
"It's me who teaches well. The Tarot Great Demon King sternly corrected in her mind.
Su Ya lowered the curtains of the car window and whispered: "No one can deny the credit of your old man, okay!"
“…… Don't call me an old man. ”
"I'm screaming. Old Adult Old Man's ...... , who made you refuse to show me your face!" Su Ya hadn't forgotten what Tarot said about "life is not fair", anyway, she succeeded in the mass manufacturing experiment. There is no need to ask for help from the Great Demon King for the time being, so Su Ya decided to turn her face a little, "If your old man refuses to show me his face, I will keep calling him like this!"
For her behavior of turning her face and not recognizing people, even the omnipotent Tarot Demon King can only be helpless: "What a bad boy who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge." ”
"Hmph, haw!" Su Ya thought that she was pure in nature, and she was all spoiled by the Great Demon King, so, "Do you want to show it?"
The Great Demon King of Tarot simply refused: "Don't give it." ”
With such a resolute attitude, it seems that he can't play anymore, could it be that there is something hidden in the appearance of the Great Demon King, could it be that he has a tower printed on his face, which is not very good-looking? Su Ya thought about it with a big brain, and was about to continue to make persistent efforts, but felt that the coachman outside stopped the carriage. Su Ya thought that she had arrived at the place, opened the curtain of the door and looked at it, and found that it was still on the road, and she didn't even enter the city gate: "What's the matter, stop here?"
The coachman turned his head and bowed: "Back to Lord Sua, in front of us is the carriage of His Excellency Duke Roland, we need to avoid it." ”
No wonder people say that the emperor is a realm where the lord walks all over the land and the nobles are not as good as dogs, and sure enough, before he entered the city, he bumped into a great god. Wait, who made her just a commoner, Su Ya let out an "oh", pulled up the curtain, and waited for the duke's carriage to leave first.
Unexpectedly, a series of "squeak" sounds passed, and the carriage under her was still motionless, Su Ya couldn't help but lift the door curtain again, and saw Margaret also showing her face and watching, counting in her mouth.
"What are you counting?" Suya held out her hand and nudged her.
"Fifteen, sixteen!" Margaret replied to her in her hurry, "count how many confidantes the Duke has brought out today!" Then, with full devotion, she continued to count, "Eighteen, nineteen......"
Su Ya wanted to remind Margaret that she had missed the count, and she was afraid that the reminder would take up time and make her count even more messy, so she planned to remind her one last time, and by the way, ask about the story between the Duke and his confidants - don't get me wrong, she is not here to gossip, but purely to find out if this Lord Duke will become her big customer in the future.
Who knows, before she could listen, the big customer took the initiative to appear in front of her. Unexpectedly, this Duke is not as smooth as Su Ya imagined, but very young and handsome, he looks seventeen or eighteen years old, and there are two little rabbit teeth when he laughs, he took Su Ya's hand very familiarly, with a pure face: "Sister, you are the alchemist who can refine magic jewelry and pearl powder in the famous imperial capital, right?"
"Ah, I am," this was the first time she had walked out of Golden Lane, how could he know herself, Suya was frightened, "How do you know?"
"Hee-hee, there is a saying called 'smell of fragrance and knowledge of women'," the young Duke stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose very cutely, "So, of course, I smell it!" (To be continued......
