Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Rozanbaker Doll
"Dear Miss Imelda, I have just returned from Rurey and heard that the latest work of Master Rozanbeck has fallen into your hands?" As soon as the purple-haired girl stepped into the store, a series of words flew out.
"It's Ah Jiu, the news is quite well-informed, is Lu Lei fun? It's just that I've found a buyer for this doll, but I'm afraid it won't be as you wish. ”
"Why, why, you know that I've always been generous with this kind of stuff, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied." The purple-haired girl's eyes widened, looking pitiful.
The old lady looked at the young junior, and there was a hint of imperceptible mockery on her face.
"In my opinion, you don't have a chance, my buyer can reveal it to you, that is, the eldest lady, do you think there is a more generous buyer in Crossbell than her?"
Ah Jiu trembled with anger: "How can it be her again, even if it is Maria Bell, how can you be sure that I will not bid higher than her!" When she said this, even she didn't feel much confidence.
Miss Imelda burst out laughing as if she had heard a joke.
"Ah Jiu, your problem is that you are too smart, and people who are too smart are often not too smooth in this world!" She said mockingly, "What, how did you get from the tickets you bought from me before?" ”
Ah Jiu took out the note and asked her to explain it in detail.
"What, old thing, sir, I'll fool you with this, 1 million meters, this charlatan!" The old lady smashed the note with the wooden handle of the magnifying glass, as if it was herself who had been deceived of 1 million meters.
"This is simply a clown trick of running the rivers and lakes, according to what he wrote, it is accurate in which year you broke through. What bullshit red moon appears frequently, as long as you are not blind, you know that the cycle of red moon appearance has become more frequent in recent decades. Don't come to Crossbell, old liar, if I catch him, I'll beat him hard. ”
"What!" Ah Jiu suddenly felt dizzy, and a lot of Mira with large denominations flew in front of him.
"I didn't expect you to be so shrewd and fall for such a trick." The old lady couldn't help but roll her eyes, "What else do you gain besides spending a million to buy a lesson?" ”
Ah Jiu hesitated for a second, and decided to tell the story of the crystal ball glowing in the attic.
"The group stared at the crystal ball like they were staring at a piece of fat, and there was fire in their eyes, and they were about to start infighting. Fortunately, I was clever, and when I saw that the situation was not good, I didn't even have time to leave the door, so I jumped out of the window and ran away. You say that these old monsters are not perverted. ”
After listening to this, the old lady was unexpectedly stunned for a few seconds, and a hysterical scream came out from the depths of her throat: "What happened later? ”
"Then I hid and observed, and within a few minutes, they were out in three groups. In order not to delay time, I have been cultivating in the suburbs of Lulei, and until the end of the Red Moon, I have not heard of any movement from them. Miss Imelda, I heard that the stronger the talent of others, the more likely it is to cause a conflict of power and go crazy, why are those old guys so enthusiastic? Ah Jiu pouted, very puzzled by the group of undisciplined old men.
"Hmph, that's all you know!" Miss Imelda stood up with a smile on her face. She has a quirk, whenever she can't calm down, she rubs all the antique treasures, and only these treasures can calm her emotions.
Finally, she stared at an antique medieval mirror, looked at her old face, and laughed at herself: "Look at it, you are all old, and there is still a time when you are not calm." ”
After calming down, she sat back on her throne, closed her eyes, and said to herself, "That crazy woman Kasan is not in her right mind. Those bears and wolves are all brainless. The lord is not so simple, he will not jump in so easily. What about Ansel? She opened her eyes and asked in a loud voice, "What is that little white face of Ansel?" ”
He soon sobered up and was one of the first to leave. Listening to his parting tone, he seemed to be very jealous of this. Ah Jiu replied respectfully.
"That's right, he's one of the few people who still has brains. But I'm not sure if he won't wade into the muddy waters. ”
The old lady rarely took out two sets of tea sets and began to prepare afternoon tea, which meant that she wanted to invite Ah Jiu to have a cup too.
Ajiuton felt flattered.
The old lady poured hot water into the tea bag and chattered: "I remember that year, I saw that apprentice of Kafayi, and he was really a lucky young man. So what, I heard that he had a wife who died a few years ago. Life is a natural thing, as long as you believe that your life is hard enough and live long enough, then you will be fine. Those crooked ways, the final result, is not to die on the streets. From ancient times to the present, see who has really changed their lives. If others don't say it, just say your mother ......"
"What about my mother?" Ah Jiu hurriedly asked.
The old lady suddenly came to her senses, this was a taboo topic, and she quickly changed her words: "Your mother is the most talented summoner I have ever seen, but she acted too recklessly. If she's still alive, you wouldn't be like this, going around and running around. ”
The old lady muttered a lot of words that Ah Jiu didn't understand, because she thought of Ah Jiu's parents, she became unusually kind, and earnestly advised: "This matter is not good for you, you must not get involved, and don't mention it to others." Don't go to the empire in the past few years, if you meet those guys, hurry up and take a detour. ”
Although Ah Jiu didn't know what to do, she knew that the old lady was doing it for her good, so she quickly agreed.
After a while, seeing that the old lady's attitude improved, she asked wistfully, "What about the dolls?" ”
"Don't even think about it! In the land of Crossbell, what Miss Maria Bell said is an oracle, so you should save your mind. ”
The negotiation failed, and Ah Jiu walked out angrily. That doll, for others, is just a collection that is occasionally taken out to show off, and for the old woman, it can only be a commodity that can make a lot of money after reselling, but for her, it has a special significance.
Walking to the place where no one was around, she finally couldn't hold back the disappointment, and tears were about to flow. She took out her handkerchief, quickly brushed her nose, rubbed her hands together, and a strange paper figure suddenly appeared on the ground. The paper man was summoned, and when he saw her, he ran over with joy and circled around her, as if to express his joy, but could not speak.
Seeing the strange appearance of the spirit summoner, her mood finally improved a little, but she involuntarily thought that if she had Rozanbeck's doll, her spirit summoning skills would be a hundred times more powerful than this. Thinking of the sore spot, a dangerous dark black color jumped in her light brown pupils: "I swear in the name of the ninety-nine nights, this thing can't be finished like this!" Rozanbaker dolls, I must get. (Officially debuted on a certain ninety-nine night)
