Chapter 59: The program is postponed
Baal had just treated Lulunaka in front of him as an alchemist who wanted to pretend to be an adult, but Lulunaka's move made him take it back. She silenced a devil baby, and the screams didn't seem to affect her at all. Even Barr had to cover his ears, otherwise he might not be able to hear anything now, and his eyes would be ghosted. The screams of the devil baby are not fatal, but the effect is very significant, and those who have practiced martial arts like this can minimize the impact, but in ordinary people, the eardrums will probably be pierced by this sound wave. Regardless, Lulunaka definitely doesn't look like an ordinary girl.
"Who taught you?" asked Barr.
"Elders in the family. Lulunaka replied, "I'm not genius enough to teach myself alchemy, so naturally I was introduced by a teacher." But the old man is not in the King's Castle, she is retired in my old home far north. β
"You're from the north. Barr said, "Is it the other people in the store too?"
Lulunaka nodded, "Yes, the store manager and the other clerk, we're both from the north - we're actually all relatives, so we're both at ease with each other." β
"Are they reassuring you for your safety?"
"I always have a way to protect myself. Lulunaka laughed, "Just like that, if I just take out that doll grass, it's okay to protect myself, right?"
Barr couldn't deny that.
"If you still don't believe I'm an alchemist, I have something else to show off. "It's not just what to do with plants, it's something that better shows my talent as an alchemist......
"That's enough, kid. "The average person doesn't know what to do with screaming plants, but you can." Even if I don't believe you're an alchemist, I know you're not just an ordinary girl. β
"Oh, that's barely acceptable. By this time, Lulunaka had come down from the counter and picked up the wooden mask from the booth, about to put it on. She put the mask back on the exhibition stand, a little regretfully. "So what do you need, Lord Barr? Even if the store doesn't have it now, I can find a way to make itβof course, if it sounds impossible, I'll tell the store manager that someone is going to make trouble. β
Balhaha laughed, "I thought you would say you could do anything." β
"If there is an omnipotent man, I am not a god. Lulunaka laughed, "Be careful, Lord Bal, if that thing triggers the trap, I'm going to be terrible in this shop." β
Baal's hand was about to land on a silver spinning top, which had a conspicuous appearance, although the same silver thorn stripes on the top felt unsafe. Lulunaka's words made him take his hand back, "Exquisite craftsmanship. Barr glanced at the top, "But is this a thorny rose?"
"It's just a spiny top. Lulunaka said, "A little toy, I don't think it's for Lord Baal." β
Barr had never heard of a child playing with such a dangerous toy, even if it was for thrill seeking, it wouldn't be such a thingβperhaps some depraved person would like it.
"As a toy, it seems a little dangerous. "If it were me, I wouldn't let my kids play with this kind of thing." β
"I've discussed this with the store manager, and we've got a lot of opinions. Lulunaka laughed, "It's a fun toy, but it's not safe, I'll admit it." β
"Is this the work of your elders?" asked Barr.
"Why can't it be my work?" said Lulunaka.
Bal looked at Lulunaka with a look of obvious disbelief on her face, and Lulunaka just shrugged her shoulders and didn't make much of an excuse. Getting the other person to admit that he is an alchemist seems to be quite difficult in itself.
"If you want to play with this spinning top, it's better to go outside. Lulunaka continued, "I'm going to be bothered to play this in the store. β
Barr reached over to pick up the top, but eventually withdrew his hand. "I'm just here to see it today, so let's get here first. He said to Lulunaka, "I'll come back if I have the chance." β
"I thought I would be able to sell something today, but it's a shame. Lulunaka had a look of regret on her face, "Are you leaving, Lord Barr?"
Barr nodded and left the shop.
Outside the courtyard, a carriage was parked outside the gate. Barr returned to the carriage, where a woman was still seated. Barr sat across from the woman and bowed his head slightly, "Miss." β
She was the same woman she had met with Lulunaka when she had just entered the city the other day. The woman wore a tight riding dress today, which accentuated her figure. When Barr came up, she was boredly playing with her tied hair. Her flaxen hair spread out at her fingertips, looking soft and smooth, and it was obvious that it had been carefully maintained.
"Well, if I could, I'd like to go down and take a look at the store instead of sitting here and waiting for your news. "The air isn't very good in this carriage, so you might as well go back and ride with those boring fellows." β
A wry smile appeared on Barr's face, the boring guys the woman said could only be the young nobles. Although the woman was keen on horseback riding, she left soon because there were too many "boring people" around her. After that, it was on the road that she wanted to visit the newly opened store on a whim. At the beginning, the woman's very casual words unexpectedly really brought her here.
"I just said it casually, but I didn't think they were really merchants who came to King's Castle to set up shop. "But isn't such a place too remote? No one would come to such a place." β
"Ordinary people, indeed, no. "There have been rumors of hauntings in this place...... There is also a place that once belonged to Barrick. β
"You've told me these things before, so you don't need to repeat them again. The woman laughed, "Barrick the Dwarf, the boss of the Goldwater fleet...... I didn't expect him to care so much about such a newly opened small shop. β
"You care too, miss. Barr said.
"Of course, that girl made me feel amazing. "You can't understand how I felt, and maybe you wondered why I cared about someone who just passed by, but now it's time for you to bear that my feelings can bring me more interesting things, Barr." β
"If I had to say, I'd rather you'd be at ease, miss. "Your father and uncle ......."
With a bored look on her face, the woman turned her head to the side, "Is it time to preach again?" I'm tired of hearing it, and if I can, I'd better change the rhetoric I've never heard before." β
Interrupted by the woman, Barr didn't say anything more, and took the rest of the words back. What kind of character a woman is, he has been accustomed to it over the years, and the so-called preaching has become a very common thing. It is precisely because he is used to it that the woman will not be angry with him because of this, and he will not say too much.
The woman pulled back the curtain a little and looked out. "I'm going down. The woman tried to get up, but was stopped by Barr.
"Miss, I'm not going to stop you. "If I could, I hope it's not now, next time." β
The woman looked at Barr, saw the serious expression on his face, and sat back, "You know I don't have much free time, and most of it is wasted on those useless socializing. β
"There will always be a time. "At least until I'm sure it's safe inside." β
"What's the danger of a small shop?"
"It's a dangerous place for Mademoiselle. "There's something that's very ...... Uneasy, I can't just let you in, or you'll come out lying down. In that case, your father and uncle will kill me. β
The woman sighed, "Well, you convinced me. Then let me ask again, have you seen that girl?"
Barr hesitated for a moment before continuing, "That's a strange child. β
The woman smiled, "You're making me care more and more about this place, Baal. β
After the woman and Barr left in the carriage, Lulunaka lay on the counter, playing with a few transparent beads in her hand. "What a cautious old man, he didn't let his eldest lady enter the door. However, it is also good that today is not well prepared, and it is not a good time to receive distinguished guests. See you next time, noble lady. β
