Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lulunaka's Masterpiece
At this time, Julius and the others had already gathered around. Rather than treating the carriage as a valuable item that no one else could touch, Lulunaka welcomed them to come close and admire her masterpiece. Except for Awa, who was not there, all the people who lived in the chapel were present.
Olga came to the front of the carriage and stroked the wheels of the two horses. The wheels were removed from the original carriage, and four were used, one in pairs, so that the horses were firmly attached to the front of the carriage so that they could pull the huge carriage. When comparing the carriage to the two horses, the burden seems a little too heavy for the two horses. These horses are not inferior horses, they are upright and prime, they have no health problems, and it is not too much of a problem to pull an ordinary carriage each, but this behemoth in front of them obviously cannot be classified as an ordinary carriage. There were several additional sets of wheels under the carriage, which made the carriage walk more smoothly and, at the very least, made the horse's load look less heavy.
Romeo picked some of the hay that lay on the wheels and brought them to the horse's mouth. The horse ate the hay in his mouth and chewed it, not looking to be behaving badly because of the heavy burden behind him.
Olga turned to the side of the carriage and peeked in through the window to see inside. The interior of the carriage was quite spacious, barely enough to fit a dozen or so people, but the interior layout didn't seem to be intended to accommodate too many people. In the middle of the carriage was a smoking and bubbling cauldron with a dark green liquid inside, and the viscous liquid surface was constantly bubbling, and after breaking, a few bits of liquid would splash out, and then fall back into the alchemy cauldron. It's hard to believe that Lulunaka is not a witch if she sees this kind of image. Around the alchemy, there were lattice cabinets clinging to the inner walls of the carriages, on which were placed all sorts of strange materials and glass bottles, which were firmly fastened to them by iron shelves. In the corners, there were also scattered books, some still spread out, while others were tied together with ropes. With so many things crammed in, this rather spacious space looks much narrower, and you can only fit two or three people in at most. This is not a carriage for people to ride, Lulunaka is not wrong, this is her mobile workshop, where she makes all kinds of alchemical products.
"That's what you've been putting the energy into modifying. Olga said to Lulunaka, "It looks rather heavy and noticeable. ”
"It's just something that gives people a few more looks. Lulunaka was quite modest at this time, "Compared to this kind of thing, it is better to attract more people's attention with a gorgeous knight riding a tall horse, right?"
Patin heard Lulunaka's words, but didn't react. He didn't think Lulunaka would suddenly be interested in taunting him inexplicably, and after that nightmare, he was no longer attached to his lost knighthood. At this moment he walked to the side of the carriage and crouched down to observe the chassis.
Julius looked at the carriage he had never seen before, and his mouth was open, as if he could no longer close it. He had never seen anything like this when he was in the village, and it was too exaggerated to see that no one had ever traveled with such a carriage, neither a traveler nor a merchant passing by, and it made him unable to understand why Lulunaka would say that it was not a remarkable existence.
Ward, who didn't know when, jumped on the roof of the carriage and crouched down somewhere to see it look quite pleasant. Julius saw Ward jumping up, and couldn't contain his curiosity, so he climbed up with him. After climbing to the top, Julius saw the skylight on the roof of the carriage shed, and in the skylight, smoke continued to rise into the sky. Julius leaned over and looked inside. What he could see was the same as Olga's, only from a different perspective.
Seeing Julius do this, Lulunaka shouted at him, "Be careful, if you fall into my cauldron, then I'll cook you too." ”
Lulunaka's words frightened Julius and immediately retracted her head, "What are you cooking?" it smells pretty ......" Julius was going to say that this weird green thing smelled bad, but after a few twitches of his nose, he found that the smell didn't seem to have much to do with the color, the sweet smell made his nose itch a little, but it wasn't unpleasant, "It smells good." ”
"Would you like to taste some?" said Lulunaka with a smile. Seeing Lunaka's smiling face, Julius didn't have the guts to really accept Lulunaka's offer. "You didn't tell what it was. Julius said.
"Even if I tell you, you won't believe me, but you will wonder if I'm trying to trick you into drinking. Lulunaka said, "Since you had that idea in the first place, I think you won't believe me whatever I say." ”
This makes a lot of sense, Julius can't refute it, but he can refuse. "It's a good thing, and it's okay if you're not interested. Lulunaka continued, "But if you do fall into it, this good thing might turn into poison." I can't let this pot of things that took me a lot of effort to brew be scrapped, so I can only take advantage of the situation to add your flesh and blood as a new material, and refine it from elixir into poison. ”
Julius was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more, and God knows if Lulunaka's madness would really have shoved him into that weird pot and boiled him into a puddle of liquid.
Patin looked at the chassis and wheels for a moment, then stood up and walked towards Lulunaka, "It's a bit of a struggle to let only two horses pull this carriage, but what you installed under the chassis seems to have solved this problem." ”
"You found out? I'm not surprised. Lulunaka laughed, "I think Olga should have found out too." ”
Patin leaned in close to Lulunaka and lowered her voice, "I don't think it's a good fit for you to install that kind of thing underneath. ”
Lulunaka stood on tiptoe and patted Padding on the shoulder, "You don't need to worry too much, I'm still concerned about my own safety." ”
Patin shook his head, knowing that Lulunaka was not something she could convince, and stopped talking.
Romeona, who had been feeding the horses hay, turned her head and said to Lulunaka, "Maybe it would be more appropriate to change the mules." ”
"That's a good idea. Lulunaka said, "But this matter will not be planned until we enter the city, and I will not find two mules in such a place." ”
Romeo frowned when she heard Lulunaka talk about entering the city. "Where are you going this time?"
Lulunaka smiled at Romeona, "In this neighborhood, when it comes to entering the city, it can only be one place, right? ”
Although she already vaguely felt that Lulunaka could only refer to the King's Castle, when she heard her say this, her heart still jumped, "Are you going to the King's Castle?"
Lulunaka, of course, saw the change in Romeona's face, and she smiled and took Romeona's hand, "Homesick?"
Romeona shook her head, without hesitation.
"I think so, there's nothing to think about in that kind of place, and the people you care about don't exist there. ”
For Romeona, the only person she has to worry about now is Olga.
Olga heard Lulunaka's words and walked over, "Are you going to the King's Castle?
"Of course, you can't do business empty-handed. Lulunaka smiled, "Don't worry, even if you take the initiative to follow this time, I don't plan to take you with me." You're a nuisance to me. ”
