Chapter 50: Opening a Shop
Lulunaka stood in front of the courtyard door, looking at everything in front of her with satisfaction. After half a month, she finally renovated this once haunted place and turned it into a place where people could live - of course, not only her credit, but also two men who specialized in heavy work, also needed to be praised.
The old walls of the yard have been torn down and new ones have been built, and the yard is safe, no longer a dilapidated place that anyone can climb into. This is thanks to Barrick, the generous dwarf who brought in skilled craftsmen to renovate the walls of this courtyard for Lulunaka - one of the reasons why Lulunaka "gifted" the Monster crystals was also one of the reasons why Barrick was so enthusiastic.
As for the renovation of the house, Lulunaka did not let Barrick interfere, and when Barrick came to visit one day, he asked Lulunaka why she had to work so herself, and she did not have to do it herself. Lulunaka's answer was, "Women always have little secrets that they want to hide in their warm homes. I'm actually quite suspicious, and if I don't make it myself, I'm not at ease. So I'm glad you can help build the fence of the yard, but in the case of the house, it's better for me to do it myself. ”
Barrick responded by laughing, without expressing any displeasure. It's true that sometimes maintaining a sense of distance can make the relationship between each other better. Lulunaka has some secrets that she wants to hide in her new home, and Barrick's suggestion sounds like she wants to learn about Lulunaka's secrets.
Two old fritters, no one believes anyone, but if they want to say that they are evil for this, it is not cost-effective for them. In that case, keep a little distance and get along better.
Now, Lulunaka's new home has finally been built – and it's also her studio and shop.
She stepped through the courtyard door and stepped inside. The floor of the courtyard had been resurfaced, and it was no longer the overgrown wasteland, and there were several wooden shelves on which clothes were dried, and on the other side were wooden shelves with various exotic furs, and on the side were several thick wooden barrels, in which strange liquids of various colors were soaked. She walked over to the shelf where the fur hung it, reached for a few strokes of one of the scaly red furs, and put her hand back to her nose to sniff it.
"It's great that it hasn't deteriorated because it's been in the shade for too long. Lulunaka nodded in satisfaction and headed for the house, her dog Ward lying on the edge of the door, as always. She crouched down and touched the neck of Ward's chin, and pressed hard a few times near the neck, under a thin layer of black fur, there were no muscles that should be full of elasticity, only the touch like a steel plate.
"Ward, don't mess around with strangers, if someone finds out that you are different, it will cause a lot of trouble for your master and me. Lulunaka said to Ward, her hand continuing to touch Ward's head, but Ward remained unmoved, not knowing if it had listened to Lulunaka.
Lulunaka didn't spend much time with Ward, got up and walked into the room. After the house was repaired, the antechamber was completely different from its original appearance. The counter blocked the doorway and passage in and out of the house, and outside the counter there were several exhibition stands with all sorts of strange little objects. Shelves mounted on the walls are filled with bottles and cans, some of which are transparent with liquids soaked in things that might be unsettling.
On the inside of the counter, Pasta stands there, bending over to tidy up the counter, which makes him look a lot like a shopkeeper.
"Good morning, uncle. Lulunaka greeted Pasta.
Pasta glanced at Lulunaka and continued with her work, "My niece doesn't know where to go every morning, and it worries me. ”
"It's just a fun time to hang out, there are so many interesting places in King's Castle, you can't just huddle your lovely niece in the store and not let her go out and work all day for your uncle, right?"
Pasta straightened his back and propped his hands on the counter, "A reminder to you, my good niece, your uncle is just an employee, the owner of this store, it's you and not me." And it's strange that I, as a store manager, don't even know what my store is selling. ”
"Aren't all the things you want to sell here?" Lulunaka looked around and nodded in satisfaction, "they're all fun little toys, safe and harmless." ”
"A spinning top with a circle of iron thorns is not a safe little toy. Pasta said.
Lulunaka picked up a small toy that happened to be the little spinning top that Pasta had mentioned. This little spinning top has a metallic appearance, an inverted triangle, the low end is not sharp, it is a rounded shape, but it is not so friendly on the outside, and the circle of silver thorns entangles the spinning top, turning it into a sinister thing. This is definitely not something for children to play with, only the most vicious parents will use this kind of thing to harm their children.
"Do you mean that?" Lulunaka held the top in front of her eyes, "This is just a dangerous appearance, but when it turns, it is not dangerous at all, and the thorns wrapped around it will spread out as it spins, turning into beautiful flowers. ”
"The petals will scrape the flesh off. Pasta said.
"That's not what I want to see. Lulunaka threw the top out the door, just as Julius was about to come in, when she saw a silver object slamming into her face, and jumped back a few steps in fright. After the top landed, it began to whirl without any help, and the thick and thin body turned into a small silver whirlwind, and the layers of slender silver thorns wrapped around it spread out, and it really formed a gorgeous flower, but this beautiful flower made people dare not approach.
"Wait, what's going on!" Julius hurriedly removed the cross-sword from his back, and before he could even unwrap the strip of cloth, he blocked in front of him. The petals touched the cross sword he was protecting in front of him, and the strip of cloth on it was torn apart, turning into strands of thin threads that flew through the air, and in just a few seconds, the strip of cloth that Julius used to wrap the cross sword turned into a rag, revealing the silver blade. The slender strip of thorns swirled, slamming into the same silver sword, rubbing into dense sparks.
When Julius was blocked by the spinning top, and was in danger of being scratched off his flesh, Lulunaka had already walked to the shelves on the other side of the wall, and stared at the shelves, "It's better not to put this thing too high." She took a jar down and placed it on the nearby exhibition stand. The jar is made of glass, which is not transparent, and it is impossible to see the contents clearly, only the outline of the contents can be faintly seen.
"What's that?" Pasta asked.
"Doll grass. Lulunaka replied, "It's not light, and it's a pretty grumpy, and if you don't have the bones of a ghost fish, it's a good idea to use this as a raw material to make a screaming lady, but the screams won't be so sharp and a little dull." ”
"The same danger. "Your perception of safety is very different from that of the average person. ”
"As long as it's used properly, it's no different from ordinary objects. Lulunaka laughed, "Like this doll grass, as long as the jar is not placed in a high place to prevent it from falling from above, then it will not wake up the little thing inside, then the jar will not burst due to the screaming, then no one will be harmed, and I will not have anything to lose." ”
Pasta just shook his head and didn't say anything more. It was difficult to convince Lulunaka, who didn't feel like he was up to the task.
