The Man Who Met (4)
Bite... Ding......" A crisp voice sounded outside the door again.
The sound of slow-moving footsteps pressed the wooden floor on the ground creaked, and the young man sitting at the front desk did not react in the slightest, staring intently at the page in his hand, and his eyes moved slightly, quickly scanning the dense words on the yellowed paper scroll.
The man stretched out his hand and gently tapped on the front desk, repeating it several times, the muscles of his lips trembled slightly: "May I ask ......?"
This pleasant fairy sound recalled Kevin who was swimming in the sea of books, so she immediately looked up, only to see a plain white veil covering her face, long black hair pouring down, bright and watery eyes staring at Kevin quietly, and the short glance made the two of them feel that time around them had stood still.
Kevin felt a hot current on his face and was restless, and now he was slightly ambiguous, so he hurriedly looked up, but found that the distance between the two was too close, and he recklessly bumped into each other's foreheads.
The girl couldn't help but take a few steps back, slowly rubbing Kevin's forehead.
"Is there anything you do to entertain guests?"
She said in a complaining tone, and there seemed to be a slight coquettishness. Kevin immediately closed the "Ancient Continent Almanac" in his hand and said apologetically.
"Yes... I'm sorry, it didn't hurt you, did I? I was so fascinated by reading a book just now that I really didn't hear you walk in. Kevin replied apologetically, looking very sincere, but his eyes consciously looked at the woman's feet before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's the matter, I have a shadow, okay!" The girl frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Kevin's strange gaze.
Suddenly the atmosphere froze again, until the girl turned her gaze to the display on the wall of the shop that broke the silence, and cleared her throat.
"Seeing that you are sincere, I will forgive you for your rudeness!"
"Rude?" Kevin heard the girl use this word, and then looked at the clothes to tell that she was a noble lady, probably grew up in a pampered environment, and did not encounter such 'intimate' contact just now.
Kevin's mouth couldn't help but have a sly smile on the corner of his mouth and asked, "What kind of service does Miss need?" ”
"Forehead ......"
The girl looked at Kevin and asked like this, and a strange thought sprouted in her mind, and she subconsciously reached out and played with the light blue skirt of her lower body.
"Can you fix something here?"
Kevin noticed her actions and wanted to continue to tease the aristocratic lady, but it was still important to get down to business. Because the promotion exam is approaching, it hasn't been open for several days.
"Yes, but it depends on what the lady repairs, except for the weapons that can't be repaired, the military equipment and the magic law items need a week to repair, and the rest can be repaired within three days. The cost of repairs is clearly written here. ”
Kevin explained with a serious face, then took out a red booklet from under the table and handed it to the girl.
The girl watched Kevin's expression change so quickly, hesitated for a moment and took the booklet, but inadvertently touched Kevin's fingertips.
Not only the girl, but Kevinton felt a feeling like electricity spread throughout his body, and a strange sense of familiarity lingered on the other party, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.
"Do you want to show me?" The girl said coquettishly, and Kevin realized it at this time, and quickly withdrew his hands and smiled awkwardly.
"National Intermediate Divine Refining Technician - Kevin; Martini, welcome to our shop. The first page of the booklet is written in this striking handwriting.
"The handwriting is good, this is the promotion exam in a few days, and you will also take it, right?" The girl asked with interest, but seemed to deliberately avoid Kevin's gaze.
"Well, I made an appointment with a friend to participate together, I hope to pass it smoothly, and then apply for the state's subsidy for high-level talents, you also see my store, compare that."
After listening to Kevin's words, the girl immediately looked around the store and said, "No, at least I feel good!" ”
Yes, the purpose of her coming out today is very simple, it is to repair the necklace, and she wanted to go to the shop opened by the Silver Flame Knights to inquire, but she came here unconsciously. Especially when she walked to the door of this shop, an invisible attraction made her always calm heart agitated, and she couldn't help but push open the quaint brown wooden door.
"But you shouldn't have such troubles, do you, do you mean that you also want to participate in the promotion?"
The girl nodded slightly, but her eyes revealed a faint mist, and murmured: "The level of survival is different, the things faced are different, there are many things that will become involuntarily, I also want to be like you, to live hard for your dreams, instead of being so restrained that you can't let go of your hands and feet." ”
Although the girl's voice was very thin, it still clearly reached Kevin's ears, and she was proud a moment ago, but she was very helpless at the moment, and she seemed to be carrying a heavy burden in her heart.
Kevin was about to open his mouth to comfort him, but the girl had already regrouped and narrowed her eyes with an encouraging look.
"For your dreams, do your best!"
"Thanks, but let's get down to business!" Kevin gestured to the booklet in the girl's hand.
"Eh, if you don't say it, I'll almost forget." The girl took out a pendant from the hidden pocket on the side.
This silver pendant looks simple in design, but it is set with a crimson gem in the middle, and there is a delicate carving on the gem pair, like an eagle with wings outstretched, but the hollow eye sockets make the eagle lose its soul.
"Are you going to fix the eagle's eye sockets on the carving?" Kevin put on a fine magnifying glass and looked at the pendant carefully.
"Well, but I asked a lot of shops, but they couldn't provide materials to fill the eye sockets, and if they couldn't find it, they had to ask someone to send it to Iseline for repair." The girl sighed helplessly, in fact, she lied, she hadn't been to other shops before she came, but at this moment she watched Kevin's every move, and she wanted to help her fix the pendant by his hand.
"What the hell is wrong with me today, how can I have this thought?" The girl hurriedly shook her head, this strange behavior made Kevin notice, and smiled helplessly.
"What are you laughing at, can you still fix it?" The girl reverted to the haughty tone she had just haught.
"You can repair it, but you didn't say what materials you want to use, did you?" Kevin's indifferent tone made the girl feel unusually underbeaten.
"Moon-eyed obsidian, want pure blue and green, is there any?" The girl replied.
Although the price of obsidian is higher than that of ordinary ore, the production ensures the stability of price fluctuations, but the solid color of moon-eye obsidian is a relatively rare one.
"Mooneye obsidian? This is probably going to take a bit of work, so you can wait a little bit. With that, Kevin turned around and opened the secret door behind him and went into the storage room. The girl sat down and looked around at the display in the store.
"Kant Street, Kevin; Martini" the girl muttered to herself with one hand on her face, looking out at the street scene from the shop window.
The original name of Kantt Street was Constantine Street, and it was officially renamed after the Senate decided to implement the virtual royal share system. Known as the street of science and technology, it gathers the vast majority of high-tech intellectual talents. Only those who have obtained a vocational certificate issued by the state are eligible to open, but they must be intermediate or above certificates, so Kevin's status here can be said to be the bottom.
Kevin's shop is located at 523 Concord Street, near the end of the street. And it's just one street away from the Intramuros. And the owner of the No. 1 street is the most famous organization on the mainland, where the headquarters of the Silver Flame Knights is located, and on both sides are the places where the annual promotion exams are held, the Eve Bal Academy named after the great Martial Emperor, and the country's largest copywriting store, the Quanlu Copywriting Museum. Because of the presence of the Silver Flame Knights, the flags of the Silver Flame Knights are planted on the lampposts on both sides of the street, and the red brick pavement is also engraved with the eye-catching emblem of the Silver Flame Knights.
Then Kevin took out a wooden clip, the dark yellow mark looked a little old, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood.
"That'...... It's a little dirty, don't mind ha. Kevin said as he wiped the dust off the box.
"Huh?"
The girl came back to her senses, and her eyes fell on the old box, the delicate copper lock hanging on the door clip already had a faint layer of green, only to see Kevin show a slender key, giving people the feeling that it would break if he twisted it.
The size of the box is not large, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and the materials packed in black cloth bags are placed in a clear pattern, and the belt has not been opened for a long time to check, so Kevin first wants to confirm each bag.
The girl suddenly smelled a strange smell of rot and mold, and hurriedly covered her veil and frowned slightly at the contents of the box.
The stench grew stronger and stronger, and the girl asked in disgust, "What stinks so much?" ”
But Kevin didn't hear the girl's words, and said in surprise: "Huh? Turns out the salamander visceral abrasive is here, it's just ......" Kevin felt his hands get a little wet, "Oops, leaked!" ”
Seeing that Kevin ignored her question, the girl took the initiative to lean over to see what materials the box contained, but she didn't expect Kevin to suddenly turn around, so frightened that the girl immediately retreated, and stepped into the air before she had time to prepare.
"You didn't ...... Things, right? Kevin's lightning movement clenched the girl's right hand, and the delicate skin revealed a cold touch, which was very comfortable.
This is the second time that the two of them have looked at each other, and the feeling is far stronger than the first time, and I saw the girl's eyes blurred for a while.
But soon she was awakened by the stench, and rebuked in a shy, "You...... The hand... How is it sticky and wet? ”
"That...... It is an abrasive for the internal organs of lizards. Kevin said embarrassedly.
"Shishsh......... What the! Without thinking, the girl pulled her hand away from Kevin, pushed her away and shouted, "Don't come here, what I hate most is these internal organs or something!" ”
Kevin looked at the girl in astonishment, her angry eyes as if she was going to swallow herself, but with a kind of cuteness.
"The bathroom is in the background." Kevin pointed in the direction of the secret door in the background.
The girl didn't say a word, and strode directly to the secret door, and a beautiful flick of the door made all the ornaments hanging on it float, and then the sound of running water inside kept coming out.
After Kevin disposed of the bag of the abrasive, he continued to look through the other bags to see if there were any mooneye obsidian. It's a pity that after looking for all the bags, I only found solid obsidian, and there was no moon eye planted, and I thought that I would definitely go to Uncle Lammon's treasure chest at night to bang my luck.
"What's it, it stinks!" The girl finally came back from the backstage and saw that Kevin was packing up the materials he had just taken out, with all kinds of strange minerals, herbs, and some test tubes full of liquids, but the foul smell still lingered in the air.
The girl strode over, thinking that this person had offended herself several times today, and she must give him some color.
"Hey, did you find it?" The girl asked angrily, only to see Kevin looking at a jet-black stone, which was a black concentrate with the same texture as a diamond. But because the foul smell was still wafting around, he didn't get too close.
The girl coughed dryly a few times, Kevin came to his senses, and reached out to show the barely matching obsidian, but was directly drunk by the girl.
"Stop! Don't put it over, I haven't washed it off yet! Did you find the moon eye? ”
Kevin suddenly laughed dryly: "I'm really embarrassed! Except for the moon eye species, there are others, if you are willing to give me some time, it is guaranteed to be repaired within three days. ”
I've offended this eldest lady a few times today, although I can't blame myself entirely, but as a man, I still have to take the initiative.
"Oh......" The girl looked at Kevin suspiciously.
Kevin quickly added: "In order to apologize, of course, the cost of this time is free, including material fees, etc., and it will be delivered to your door in person." ”
The girl wanted to embarrass Kevin, but remembering the look he had just looked at the black concentrate, she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness and sighed helplessly.
Kevin looked at the eldest lady in a daze again, her expression was cute, but he could only hold back his smile, lest she grab his pigtails.
"Well, besides, I have something to do, but remember to wash your hands before repairing them, or ......" The girl gave Kevin a hateful look and waved her fingers together.
Kevin hurriedly shrunk up the left and right of the slurry that had just touched it, and hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, yes... I'll remember. ”
I only heard the wind chimes ringing outside the door, and the woman had disappeared. A note was left on the table, which read: 3 Qina Street, but no signature was left. Kevin smiled at Evan and followed the last assessment, but Van's name did not appear on the assessment list. However, with Ivan's strength, even if he doesn't need to be assessed, entering the Knights is already a sure thing.
"You said that the eldest lady of the Venus family, why is she so strong, completely compared to our peers, you said that she has a family, beauty, and a beautiful woman with superior strength, how can we live!"
