Chapter 262: The Strange Dwarven Shop
The Aster Orphanage, located on Aster Street, is gone, and in its original location, there is mostly a luxury store called "Fashion Glory". The first thing that jumped into his mind was the cottage pedestrian street at the back door of his college days, and the strange little shops that had been called the "Jumping Sale", playing pop music from the last century, and selling Praba and Bhannel.
When you start to remember, it means that you are old......
Of course, this is not a small shop in a humble cottage, but it is a large three-story building with ivy-shaped patterns and a pale brown façade. The upper part of the roof is crimson in color, as solemn as the sunset, and the gentle curve undulates on the roof, connecting to the delicate cornice window outside the wall. The main gate facing the street is lined with multiple cyan columns, topped by a wide open-air balcony that connects to the porch on the second floor. The balustrade of the balcony is the same color as the columns, and the cool and elegant colors complement the solemn color of the main body of the building. With elegant chairs and parasols, it should be an open-air café, but it's past the best season for open-air coffee, and there aren't too many customers.
This is a typical modern Auckland style building, even in this busy street of asters, it is not extremely ornate and conspicuous.
Having said that, just on this Ziyuan Street, Lu Xi saw a variety of buildings in various styles, such as Nord style, Auckland style, Chenhai style, and elf style, which looked very chaotic, but inexplicably carried a wonderful sense of coordination.
It really deserves to be a pure "country" of immigrants!
The mall is run by the Aucklanders' Chamber of Commerce, and mainly deals in high-end goods from Auckland. For example, the finest fashion and jewelry, the most luxurious furniture and furnishings. I have to admit it. As the most powerful country in the world, the strength of Auckland's culture has also spread along with the strength of the government. Leading the fashion trend of the human world. The lifestyle of the Auckland aristocracy is even more popular with the powerful in other regions.
In any world, there will always be a large group of people with a lot of spare money in their hands lining up to vassal elegance, so the business of "fashion glory" looks really good. Lu Xi even saw a few big men who were obviously Nord looking, holding petite and delicate female companions, wearing human and dog-like formal clothes and walking into the gate of the mall.
"I can't imagine that this would have been an orphanage." Sehireu Road. She looked at the lavish Auckland-style gowns and colorful jewels in the window, and the colors flashed by her. As a magician, her income is actually not low. But she was born as a civilian, and she also has parents and several siblings at home. Sai Xiliu had to take on the responsibility of the eldest sister early, and the bulk of the income was naturally used to supplement the family. The glittering luxuries in the window are something that any girl loves, and Sehireu is no exception, but so far she has no such financial savings. In fact, the most valuable ornaments on her body were all stuffed by Lu Xi on the grounds of "strengthening equipment".
"Young master, this place is so big, where should we start? Why don't I go to the store manager here and ask about it first? Grant asked in a calm tone. With more and more adventures to participate in with Lu Xi. Seeing that the world is getting bigger and bigger, this young man who was a villager at the beginning is becoming more and more decent in speaking and acting, like an experienced man who has served under the command of a great nobleman for many years. Senior doglegs.
"Such a big store, and the reception is all dignitaries, I guess I don't have time to meet me, a small federal civil servant." Lu Xi didn't have much hope. He looked around the street. Then aim for a small shop across the street.
It was a low, dwarven flattening building with only two floors. And it looks a little old. That unpretentious appearance is placed in this busy business district. Especially placed on the opposite side of the big shopping mall, it looks particularly eye-catching, as if there is a small shop selling pancakes and fruits next to the Chanel flagship store on the Champs-Élysées.
At the entrance of the shop, there was a bronze sign with the name of the shop written on it by the simple and vigorous dwarf Mo Wen - "The Top of the Furnace Castle".
I'll it! Lu Xixin said that my generation has never seen such an arrogant signboard when I am so old!
Located right in the middle of the Falling Hammer Hills, next to the Great Molten Lake, Fort is the capital of the Dwarven Kingdom Alliance. Since it is the "top of the furnace castle", isn't it saying that his craft is the first of the dwarf race?
"Let's go there and inquire first, it looks like it's an old store that has been operating here for decades, maybe you know more than anyone in the mall." Lu Xi said, and then walked over, and everyone naturally had no opinions. Of course, Lu Xi also admitted that the name of the store that dragged Coolmaster to break through the sky did pique his curiosity.
Pushing open the door, you will be greeted by a typical dwarven shop, the rough decoration style is simple and direct, without any pretentious decoration and embellishment, just a row of dwarf portraits hanging on the wall facing the door, perhaps the previous owners of this shop.
Dwarves are known to have a natural skill and are masters of casting, engineering, and carving. The dwarves' seemingly crude, clumsy hands that can only do heavy work can forge not only the deadliest weapons of murder, but also the most elaborate works of art, and the typical dwarven shops often sell both of these things. Naturally, this shop with an arrogant name is no exception.
Facing the door is a plain glass display case filled with all sorts of trinkets, and on either side of the wall hangs all kinds of weapons, from daggers to spears.
Lu Xi scanned the shop with kryptonite dog eyes, but he didn't see anything good that made his eyes shine, and he immediately pouted in disappointment.
"Looks like no one is there." Sehireu Road.
As soon as her words fell, there was a chaotic noise, which frightened the student union president. Then, from behind the pile of boxes behind the counter, a head finally lifted with difficulty, and Lu Xi knew that there were still people in the store, but to his surprise, it was not. It turned out to be a Night Elf.
She has lilac skin like a sky and dark green hair like a jungle. And the silver pupils as beautiful as the bright moon, there is nothing wrong with that. This is the elegant people who inhabit the sacred mountain of Hyjal, the Night Elves, one of the three elven races on the surface.
This is the least populous of the elves on the surface, and the total number of people does not exceed 100,000, but it is the most powerful of the elves. No matter how the Vanya elves of Twilight announce to the world their noble lineage and great heritage from the ancient elven empire, or how they think that the Sun Knights are the greatest army, they must also recognize the power of these sparsely numbered distant relatives.
It is said that every adult Night Elf is a powerful druid and warrior who can ride a thousand horses, and according to the system, they are all gold-level. But not the elven girl who came out from behind the chest, for she was about the same age as a ten-year-old human girl. Of course, the actual age is really unclear.
"Ah, here comes the guest! Well, this is the first guest in a week! Elune bless! Lori, the Night Elf, looked overjoyed, completely unaware that her words were a bit redundant.
The little girl very skillfully brought a chair from behind the box, and shrewdly judged that Lu Xi was the leader of the group when her head tilted, so she immediately put the chair beside him, and then took down a notebook from the bookshelf behind her. It was respectfully opened and pushed in front of Lu Xi.
"This is our catalogue here, please take a look at it. Oh, and if you want to customize it too. The shop undertakes the customization of a qiē weapon, armor and jewelry. When the little girl said this, she lowered her voice again and smiled mysteriously: "If you want a large weapon for the army and the city, such as a bed crossbow." There is no problem with rushing cars, stone throwers and the like. It's just about spending a little more money. ”
"Okay, take your time. I'll make you a pot of coffee. How about civet coffee from Twilight? ”
I don't want to drink tanuki poop...... Saying. How come even this world has such undisciplined coffee? And it's the elves of Twilight who do this?
This little girl of the night elf was so enthusiastic as a gold medal salesman, coupled with staring at her big watery eyes like the moon, the words "We are not here to buy things" suddenly choked in Lu Xi's throat, and he couldn't say anything.
Lu Xi thought for a while, and finally thought of a better way to refuse, so he said: "Well, there are also lists on the brochure outside, well, they are all ordinary road goods." Miss Elf, I'm a picky person, and I wouldn't be tempted if it wasn't a good thing. ”
The Night Elf's little girl blinked her eyes, as if she hesitated, and then nodded vigorously, "I see." But I can't just take out good things, I have to get the boss's permission. I'll go and call him. ”
The little girl ran into the back hall in a hurry, and Sehireu looked at her back blankly, and couldn't help but say, "This, this is indeed the Night Elf, right?" I always thought they were all ......."
"Elegant, huh? No way, there will be some individuals of all colors in every race, you have to learn to be calm. ”
Lim hadn't paid any attention to the little girl's actions, and in her eyes, all strangers were tomatoes and potatoes, whether they were Night Elves or goblins. At this time, all her attention was attracted by an emerald stud earring placed on the counter, lying in front of the glass window and looking seriously.
"Do you want it?" Lu Xi asked.
Lim nodded.
"But it's not worth much, do you still want it?" Lu Xi had already seen it with the eyes of a kryptonite dog, it was just a small object made of jade and white gold, although the workmanship was very fine, but it did not have any magical effect, and it was the same as the forehead ornament she had been wearing, it was a complete jewelry.
Lim continued to nod.
Anyway, it won't cost a few dollars, so she can give it if she wants, and then give the amethyst brooch next to her to Sehiru by the way. Thinking of this, Lu Xi was about to call the little girl out, but at this time, there was a quarrel in the inner room.
"The customers are waiting outside, this is the first business in a week! Hurry up and go out with me! Don't drop the chain for me this time! "This is the voice of the little night elf girl just now.
"What a guest, my research here is at the most critical juncture! You just have to deal with it! It was a very low and gruff voice, and there was obvious impatience in and out of the words.
"If we don't open our doors for business, we won't even be able to pay for next month's food! I'm also studying your yarn! If you don't obey again, the old lady will set fire to your research room! The little girl's voice began to grow louder, though it was impossible to imagine that it was from a night elf Lori, either in words or in her momentum.
The other party seemed to be finally frightened and never replied. Then, the little girl of the Night Elf came out with a smile on her face again, and said, "Let the guests wait for a long time, this is the owner of the small shop, the master craftsman from the Hearthcastle, Ogel." ”
Master craftsman? Lu Xi couldn't help but be stunned, and then, a body that was about the same height as the elf little Lori, but at least twice as thick, came into view. (To be continued......)
