When Baal returns to Luna's Cauldron shop, he doesn't see Lulunaka, only a middle-aged man with a big beard sitting at the counter, drinking tea and reading a book. This middle-aged man was dressed plainly, except for the beard that covered half of his face, and his hair looked like it had not been trimmed and groomed, but it was tied up casually. This is a man who seems to be not suitable for business and should be a scavenger.

But the middle-aged man was now sitting at the counter, drinking tea and reading, and even if Barr came in, there was no reaction, and his eyes kept falling on the book in his hand. Barr didn't think it was hospitality, and if he was right, it was Lulunaka's uncle.

He was indeed not mistaken, the only person who could spend such a leisurely time in the store was Lulunaka's "uncle" Pasta.

"Welcome to our store. Pasta didn't seem to have ignored Barr, nor did he fail to notice Barr's arrival, "If you need anything, you'd better take a look at the merchandise at the booth to see what you like...... Of course, if you encounter something you don't understand, it's best to ask me first, otherwise if something bad happens, the store will be unlucky. ”

"When I first came here, there was a girl who told me that I would be safe. Barr replied, looking at Pasta, "Well, you're Lulunaka's uncle, the manager of this shop." ”

"He said he was the store manager, but he was actually just a shopkeeper. Pasta replied that he didn't look like a shopkeeper and a waiter, but he didn't care, and Barr didn't care much, "Everything here is made by my lovely niece, and I'm only responsible for what an adult does...... Or rather, it's something that only adults do. ”

Barr expressed understanding of Pasta's words. No matter how ...... Lulunaka is Strange and smart, she is still just a child after all, and many things cannot be solved, and an adult like Pasta with rich life experience is very important. Barr had learned about the shop and Lulunaka through all sorts of things. These were three men from the North, an uncle with his nephew and niece: Lulunaka seemed to be a genius alchemist, but behaved a little strangely, Julius, the boy he didn't seem to have seen much, was a guy who was away from the shop all day and didn't know where to run, probably a playful teenager, and the last one, who was also the eldest, Pasta, who was sitting here as a parent, was also a very peculiar person from the outside, except that he seemed a little cold, not very much like a businessman's attitude, and there seemed to be no problem.

"I was expecting to see Lulunaka this year. "Or rather, I'm here to invite Lulunaka to meet my young lady." ”

"If it's a matter of this, as long as she's okay, I won't have any opinion. "But she's not in the store now, and she left a message before leaving, and if you can find her, you can try it, or else you'll have to wait for the next day when she's at home." With that, Pasta put the teacup in his hand to his lips and took a sip of the tea that was still warm, "I'm sorry, she's a wayward girl." ”

"There's always something different about genius, and I can understand that. "My master can understand that. ”

"That would be great. Pasta smiled, "The only thing I'm worried about doesn't seem to be going to happen: her attitude, I'm always worried about whether she'll anger the nobles and get into trouble." ”

"You care a lot about your niece, she has a good uncle. Barr said.

"Thanks, but if I were a good uncle, I probably wouldn't have let her run around and get into trouble. Pasta wasn't in a mood of joy at Barr's flattery.

Barr was looking around for something on the exhibition stand, which he hadn't seen for a while, and there were a few more novelties on it, which were very eye-catching and made one wonder if it was safe enough. "Mr. Pasta. Barr suddenly spoke, "Although you are a merchant from the north, I always feel that your face looks like I have seen it somewhere. ”

"To you people in King's Castle, people from the West and from the North don't seem to be the same. Pasta replied, "Come to think of it, you look a lot like an old friend of mine in the North." ”

"It's such a coincidence, you and I seem to have a bit of fate. Barr said. Pasta only smiled at this, "Yes, I can see a familiar face, although it is not me." ”

Barr stayed in the shop for a while, and after buying a few novelties, he was about to leave. As he walked to the door, he suddenly turned to Pasta and asked, "Although there is no real intention of harassing Lulunaka...... It's just that I'm a little curious, where in the city does that kid usually go?"

"I wouldn't know if it was usual, but this time, she left a message. Pasta replied, "If you want to find her, you'll have to go underground." ”

At this time, Lulunaka, as she had left Pasta and Pasta had said to Barr, had gone underground. There are many rat paths in King's Castle, and the one she is in is near the strait to the east, at the edge of the city. The rat path she was in was different from the one Julius frequented, it was close to the sea, and it was on the edge of the city, and not far away was a large port area, so the rat path here had a more damp, rotten air, and a smell of the sea. This rat passage is also underground, but the main road is not very spacious, but there are not many fewer people. There seem to be countless pipes leading up and down, left and right, in all directions. Pipes from above are constantly dropping sewage from the city, and pipes from the other side of the sea discharge this sewage into the sea or deeper underground. Because there are so many stone and brick pipes of different sizes, there are so many large and small spaces that those pipes that are still discharging sewage are naturally inaccessible to people and people, but those that have been abandoned have indeed become a good place to live and buy and sell - at least for the residents of Ratway.

And now Lulunaka is standing at the entrance to the sewers from the rat path. Each rat path has a passage that leads deeper underground, and this one is no different. The entrance and exit of this rat path is a vertical downward passage, with no place to walk at all, and it looks like a trap rather than a passage. There are rudimentary ladders at the edges, and if you look down, you can see that in the seemingly bottomless darkness, in addition to the ladders, there are some planks on the wall so that people can settle down.

At this seemingly dangerous entrance, there are also people guarding here. There is no garbage piled up around this entrance, it is a relatively small space, but both above and around, there are holes and pipes of different sizes, except for the road when Lulunaka walks in, these pipes and holes are not passable, of course, there are some pipes, dwarves or gnomes can barely use them, but there will be no one who makes them uncomfortable.

Guarding the entrance and exit were a man and a woman, fully equipped, and they didn't look like good men and women - it would be a joke to find such a pure existence in this rat road. After seeing Lulunaka, the faces of the two did not change expressions, there was no mockery, and there was no sneer. "Little ghost, go home and read your adventure novel, it's not a joke down there. The woman in leather armor, but didn't seem to be wearing anything under the leather armor, said to Lulunaka. She carries a two-handed axe and an iron bracelet around her wrist, which can be used to defend against slashing weapons when it matters most. The other man's words were not too unusual, but there were several scars crawling on his face, and it looked like several fleshy earthworms were wriggling on his face, especially when he spoke. "Go home, little ghost, in a place like this, a little girl like you, the body is the most valuable. ”

The man's tone was flat, but the meaning of the words was that of a young and pure girl like Lulunaka...... Or her body, in a place like the rat road, is a very eye-catching commodity. The man was indeed right, Luluna was indeed watched by a lot of eyes along the way of the rat path, as if she was evaluating a commodity. And a girl like Lulunaka, who came alone, without the protection of a rookie adventurer with strong blood and strength, and without the protection of experienced mercenaries or personal guards, she could only be exposed to the malicious eyes of the rat road.

Lulunaka smiled very interested when she heard the words of the man and woman, which made the two guards look a little surprised, "In this case, how much can a girl like me sell for?"
