Chapter 137: Born to be good at gift-giving
ยท
Zuo Zhe was a little surprised when he heard Yuan Huang's answer. I don't know if I was surprised by such an answer, or I didn't expect Yuan Huang to answer so seriously. Anyway, he smiled and saluted slightly, "I will remember what you just said." โ
The two of them pushed the door open and entered the Karakuri shop.
It was very crowded inside, in fact, the shop was not small, but it was full of many strange things, all of which Yuan Huang had never seen before. The thick curtains caused the store to be poorly lit, and the light was not used for lighting, but only a few lamps were lit, and it seems that the rumors of the Karakuri cultists refusing to use any magic are true. There are no goods on the floor except for walking, almost everywhere, not to mention tables and cabinets, and even the sofa is full of gadgets.
Yuan Huang was quite dizzying by the dazzling environment around him.
"Mr. Heard?" Zuozhe walked to the counter and shouted into the depths of the store.
Soon, a young girl with clear eyebrows, only eight or nine years old but looking like a little adult slowly walked out of the house. She clasped her hands together and bowed to Zuozhe: "Good day, Lord Zuozhe, Master he is out." โ
Zuo Zhe smiled bitterly: "It seems that you haven't heard of it, I'm no longer an adult." โ
"Huh? Finally fell out with Lord Dong Shangjue and was expelled from the house? The girl's eyes widened and blinked. One sentence made Zuozhe, who was originally immersed in sadness, a little ridiculous.
"Where's Mr. Heard?"
"The master said that the grandson was lost and that he was going to look for it, and he had been gone for many days."
Zuo Zhe said "oh", and the girl replied "yes". This conversation made Yuan Huang feel uncomfortable...... He felt that there was something wrong with the sign of this store from before he entered the door, even if the surname Hilde was so bad, it shouldn't be so bad, right? Sure enough, it was the old man of Hilde in the five. Indeed, he said before that his grandfather was a cultist of the magic sky and was good at making some delicate little toys; It is true that there are not many disciples of the Demon Sky Karakuri, but it seems that the world is too small to meet them casually, right?
Zuo Zhe said straight to the point: "I helped this friend choose a gift for a girl, do you have any recommendations?" โ
The girl nodded and walked behind the counter. She wasn't tall enough, and she only showed a head on the counter, which made people laugh.
"How's this one? Girls love such fluffy toys. โ
"Okay, thank you."
Without thinking, Yuan Huang took the toy recommended by the girl, a fluffy bear doll. Bears have been very ferocious beasts since ancient times, and people can smell and change color, and the devil knows why anyone likes bear toys.
Payment.
Then the pestle looked around in place, with no intention of leaving.
Yuanhuang only plans to stay here for a while because he is hiding from the people of the Mage Association, a shop that rejects magic, and the Mage Association is very incompatible, there is no better refuge than here. However, it is not surprising that the girl mistakenly thinks that he is curious about the magic sky and his ingenuity, as a "superstitious religious group", they are mysterious and few in number.
The girl had a good impression of Yuanhuang, a guy who didn't even ask the price when he bought a gift, and he was a friend introduced by Zuozhe, so she walked up to Yuanhuang seriously and introduced: "This bear doll can move." If you twist the clockwork on its back, it will not only run around in a cute way, but also sing. โ
"Singing?"
It was Zuo Zhe who answered the question: "Let me guess, is it a music box?" โ
The girl's smile represents affirmation. She went on to introduce other small toys, such as boxes that rattle when pressed, spring-shaped pull rings, and even wooden birds that keep poking out of the nest. "Ah, this is the master's recent new invention."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Huang's face immediately darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Because he saw a rifle!
In appearance, it is very close to the air pressure rifle of the Celestial Realm, but the workmanship is rough, and it is basically made of white iron sheet rolled up and beaten, while the Celestial Rifle is as if cast. There are butts, barrels, muzzles, grips...... There's even a trigger!
"! Be careful! โ
Yuan Huang suddenly screamed and crouched down to dodge, because he saw the girl holding the rifle in her hand and facing here. Since it was a toy store, it was likely that what the girl had in her hand was just a toy, but Yuan Huang was still too frightened to see the scene of the gun pointed at him, and his hairs stood on end in fright.
was unintentional, but the girl and Zuozhe were stunned.
The girl stared at Yuan Huang who was squatting on the ground with a suspicious face and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" Zuozhe's face was full of the same question.
Two dry coughs.
Yuan Huang smiled awkwardly: "The light is dim, I thought it was a crossbow." The other two laughed.
The girl pointed her gun to the side and explained, "We're a toy store, how can we sell such dangerous things?" This is a "hair canister" that shoots paper balls, first ...... like this", the girl used her hand to pull the lever on the left side of the toy gun body to the rear, reset it, redo it several times, and then stuffed a small paper ball into the muzzle, aim, and pulled the trigger.
Bang! A small ball of paper flew out, knocking down a wooden ornament on the shelf.
"Uh-oh." Seeing this, Zuo Zhe applauded again and again, and the gloom on his face couldn't help but be swept away. Yuan Huang thought in his heart, "What the is this", but what he said was "so powerful", and he applauded.
Yuan Huang bought a few more toys and planned to give them to the others on the spaceship. After all, there are a lot of goods here, and some of them seem to be accessible to adults.
"What is this?" "Lightbox. It uses flint and steel and oil from the Fire Clan realm. "Well, it seems good to give it to Hongyang Minbo, after all, it has some hometown flavor.
"What is this?" "It's a kaleidoscope. When the eyes look inside, the pattern is beautiful. "Well, it seems good to give it to Gran.
"Where's this?" "Perfume bottles. This is very expensive, it is a high-priced perfume purchased from the realm of the wood clan, and we made an air skin bag, and it will spray out when you press it. "Well, this source phoenix has seen the nobles use it and gave it to Sophia.
"This?" "The spring used to work on grip strength, like this...... Hey! Pinch it repeatedly. "Well, this one for the strongest Noxton.
"And this?" "It's a music box, and when you tighten the clockwork, it will make a sound." Well, give it to the handsome Morbian.
"What is this?" "Puzzle game Nine Rings, these are several metal buckles of special shapes, you can't use brute force, you have to use your brain to unlock them." Well, give it to Marvelous Hilde and burn his brain.
Yuan Huang squandered the gold coins he had scavenged from the Prophet's hut and was not distressed at all, but rather extravagant. He gradually saw some trends, the five-person group is the little helper he has, and now he needs to give priority to a wave of goodwill.
He is very confident in the gifts he chooses, which are definitely tailored to everyone's personality characteristics, and can definitely brush up on the goodwill!
