Chapter 3 Do you want to prepare a skirt for the appointment?
Lulunaka had a surprised look on her face - it was unknown if she meant it genuinely or faked it. "It's a strange person that anyone would be interested in my seemingly non-distinctive shop. ”
"It's just that the store doesn't have any features. Pasta chimed in, "As for the goods for sale, that's hard to say. ”
Barrick echoed Pasta's words.
Lulunaka shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands, "It doesn't make sense for the goods to be distinctive, such a remote location, coupled with the signboards and storefronts without any bright spots, it is indeed too difficult to attract ordinary customers." ”
"Because madam, you prefer quiet places. Barrick answered, "I know that. And those crowded places are probably not very suitable for you to open a shop. Barrick was actually trying to say that what Luluna sold in the store was not suitable for a crowded place. Although the prosperous area can get more business opportunities and income, there will be all kinds of troubles - the first trouble is that Lulunaka's dangerous gadgets are really not suitable for ordinary people's vision.
"Is this a good fit for me?" Lulunaka smiled at Barrick, "Then I'll take it." So, speaking of my invitation...... "She got down from the counter, walked to the edge of the exhibition stand, picked up the wooden statue she had carved a while ago, and played with it, "Sounds like a great aristocratic lady inviting me, why?"
That's actually the question I want to ask. "I'm curious, ma'am, when you caught a look that you shouldn't be here, and she found me for it." ”
It was at a banquet some time ago, and Barrick was once again in it to mingle and socialize with the nobles who could not bring him benefits, but who were always around him and wanted to make a profit. If he wanted to do business well in King's Castle and be a businessman, then Barrick would not show an aversion to any nobleman, whether it was a small nobleman or a member of a large family. Of course, no one will know what he thinks in his heart...... Except for his own secretary, Morris, and this male elf hated aristocrats from the bottom of his heart, and sometimes he even had to consider whether he could bring this good-looking guy to a banquet so that he could share some attention.
At this feast, Barrick had just gotten rid of a group of nobles who were talking about it and intent on using whimsical ideas to get a sum of money from Barrick, and found a corner to stay. After that, what Barrick said to Lulunaka happened...... Barrick briefly informs Lulunaka of what happened that night, only about Lulunaka, of course.
After listening to Barrick's words, Lulunaka touched her cheek, "So I'm so famous, even the rumors and name of me are circulating in the high-class banquets." It's amazing, King's Castle is a place that is more private than I thought. ”
"Madame, don't you really know such a girl?" asked Barrick, "a noble woman of illustrious birth...... Didn't you really know such a person since you arrived at King's Castle?"
"I don't even know who she is. Lulunaka spread her hands and looked innocent, "Maybe I can remember something after we meet." ”
"Ma'am, your words ......," Barrick stopped talking, a little worried.
"Nothing to worry about, Mr. Barrick. Lulunaka smiled at him, "It's just to meet someone, maybe this person's identity is a little different...... But that doesn't mean I'm going to mess around. ”
That's what Barrick was worried about, but Lulunaka had already spoken it first, and he couldn't say anything more.
"And when is this invitation?" Lulunaka continued, "is it now, or at some point?"
"Whenever it's convenient for you. Barrick said, "I'm the middleman at your disposal." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Barrick. In the days that followed, there were times when I wasn't in the store, so I hope I don't miss this invitation. ”
Barrick then spends a while in the shop, chatting with Lulunaka for a while, and then leaves. After Barrick left, Pasta, who had not spoken much, said to Lulunaka, "This is indeed a bit surprising, an invitation from a nobleman?"
"It's a pity that it's a noble lady, not a noble young master. Lulunaka said in a regretful tone, "If it was a noble young master, what a beautiful encounter it would be, the two people with disparate identities rubbed a spark of love......" Lulunaka began to turn in circles with an intoxicated expression, like a girl who thinks of spring, and also looks like a girl who sees herself as stupid and can only daydream when she reads illusory and vulgar novels.
Pasta can be said to be indifferent to Lulunaka's performance. "What's your plan?" he asked Lulunaka.
"I don't have such a thing. Lulunaka, who was spinning in circles, stopped, facing Pasta.
"I hope you didn't go through someone to get into the aristocratic circle and then do something bad. "Of course, even if you had such a plan, I wouldn't be able to stop you. ”
"Uncle, do I look like such a bad person?" Lulunaka asked, with an aggrieved expression on her face, like a child who has been scolded by an adult.
"Maybe not. "But I'm pretty sure you never set out to do anything good. ”
Lulunaka sighed, the pretended expression on her face disappeared and turned into helplessness, "In the eyes of strangers, I am a good girl and a good girl with a smile on her face, but why do all the people who know me think of me as a villain who does all kinds of evil?"
Pasta thought to herself, probably because you've done so much of your usual evil.
Lulunaka stretched out her finger and flicked a few times at the wooden statue placed aside, "Even I have done good things...... Maybe you've done it?" her tone became uncertain.
"Can't you even convince yourself?" Pasta said.
"It's so easy to lie to yourself. Lulunaka said, "A good theatrical actor, a liar, a nobleman, a mage...... Those are all first-class tricksters who deceive themselves before deceiving people. In this world, only when children lie, it is easy for people to see through at a glance, and they can't deceive themselves or others. As for me, I can't fool myself, but it's still easy to fool others. Okay, it's not too early, I'll go out. ”
Lulunaka walked out of the store, and when she reached the door, she turned her head and said to Pasta, "If anyone comes to me, tell them I'm underground." ”
"Is this some kind of joke?"
"No, it's the truth. Lulunaka laughed, "If I don't believe it, then I can't help it." Because I'm underground. ”
