05 shopkeeper

"Teacher, I know a lot of such shops,"

Lilu finally controlled the welling tears, and Rika smiled with rain, quickly restoring her charm to her best: "Do you want to buy a lot of materials?"

"No,"

Doug smiled and shook his head, "I'm not in the habit of carrying money with me, so I want to sell some very rare materials-"

"Teacher!"

Al-Moody cried out excitedly, his eyes already red - the idiot knew that the venerable teacher was going to sell something precious, perhaps his beloved treasure, to pay for the cost of learning new magic, and he couldn't help but be moved to tears, and he was determined to cherish this opportunity a hundredfold, a thousand times, and never fail the teacher......

Inter beside him rolled his eyes upward, revealing an expression of "I really can't stand you", but the look in his eyes at Tutang Carmen also added a lot of respect. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"We're not in a hurry, teacher. He showed his ancient aristocratic lineage with a graceful smile and movements, but his words showed a fox's tail: "If you sell your precious things in a hurry, you won't be able to sell them for a good price!"

Lilu was supple and respectful in silence, seemingly waiting for Tutten Carmen's decision.

"I have a lot on my plate, and I'm not sure when I'll have time to come back. ”

Doug suppressed the impatience that popped up slightly, and kept smiling: "So, it's better to raise enough funds for you as soon as possible......" As he spoke, he seemed to inadvertently finally stop his gaze on Lilu's face: "This is a very precious material, so you need to find an old store with experience in selling special materials to ......"

"Teacher, there aren't many such shops," under Doug's faint gaze, Lilu was the first to speak unconsciously, "The only thing I remember is 'Feather Forest', the unmarked 'Black House' and the madman Elliott often have some special things to sell - ah, by the way, and 'Everything is silent'!"

"Everything is silent!?"

Finally hearing the name he wanted, Doug couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but on the surface he made a slightly surprised look: "This name is very special...... Does he have any special features?"

"This shop is really special, teacher. ”

Lilu smiled charmingly, her slender fingers arranging a few strands of hair running around behind her white and delicate ears, and her charm was slightly revealed: "It seems to have existed for a long time, but it is still unknown, and there are often some strange things for sale, and the price is amazing-"

In fact, the shop was no longer 'special', and even its owner, along with its owner, could only be defined as 'eccentric', and she would not have even been able to do business with him if she hadn't found it in an old family diary - fortunately, otherwise the things left by the family would have been sold cheaply to unscrupulous profiteers.

"Sounds like a perfect fit for my goals...... That's it. ”

Doug couldn't wait any longer, and immediately determined the destination: "Lilu, you can lead the way!"

“...... Yes, Teacher. ”

Lilu hesitated slightly, and originally wanted to tell Tutang Carmen about the strange temper of the shopkeeper, but her eyes swept over the sky-high robe on Tutang Carmen's body, and immediately dispelled this idea - no matter how strange it was, he was also in business, and it was impossible for a big customer like Tutang Carmen to wear the annual budget of a small country on his body.

The carriage hired by Fifian came running slowly at this time, and the little girl had returned to the little boy's costume when she met Lilu before, and happily stretched out her head to greet her: "Old man, this way!"

Knowing from the call that things were progressing, she told the carriage to hurry up and meet Doug just in time.

"Oh, the little one is here. ”

Doug laughed "old-fashionedly", and his snow-white beard trembled with it vividly: "It's just in time...... Come, let me introduce you, this is my grandson, mischievous Ains—"

Lilu's eyes narrowed with a little water, and greeted Fifian with a friendly hand, and the smile on her face quickly adjusted from 'charming' to 'kind': "Hello! meet again, Ains!"

"Hello, beautiful big sister!!"

Fifian hugged Lilu warmly, then turned to face Doug, "What's the time, old man, are you going somewhere?"

Everyone is an acting school......

Doug couldn't help but let out a real smile, turned to face the apprentices and beckoned: "You get in the car first--I'll tell you on the way." ”

"Yes, teacher. ”

Lilu smiled softly and walked towards the carriage first, and as she walked, the apprentice's robe swayed with the slender waist, and the end was so charming that Doug could barely take his eyes off it.

"Pervert. ”

Fifian pursed her lips disdainfully, but she was also enjoying Lilu's performance with great interest, and finally seemed a little unwilling to add: "Hmph...... 'Mine' was bigger than 'hers'!"

"Really?"

Doug quickly turned his head, though asking, in a tone of obvious disbelief.

"Of course. ”

Fifian kicked him again: "It's not like you haven't seen it!"

"You know," Doug raised an eyebrow, "the lights are too glaring to be seen...... Hey, where's your ring?"

The little girl's hands were bare, and the two remaining rings were gone.

"Took it for a change. ”

Fifian smiled brightly, her mouth pursed, and she didn't seem to want to explain further.

"Whatever you want, that miser is your grandfather anyway...... Even if he has a heart attack, it won't be ****. ”

Doug shrugged, imagining the stingy old man's expression after seeing Fifian's hand once again, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he gracefully boarded the carriage.

"Everything, things, silence, silence. ”

Fifian read the words on the worn sign in the boy's strange voice, and carefully compared the sign on the sign with the one he had seen on Linax's manuscript, and finally confirmed that it was indeed the same sign: "...... What a ghostly name, hey!~"

Lilu on the side waited softly, still smiling.

"Can you really sell 'that' in this old and dilapidated shop, old man?"

Fifian pushed open the heavy, dilapidated door of the Silence of All Things, and looked in curiosity, but it was so dark that he could see nothing—it was daylight.

"Just go in and find out. ”

Doug replied 'kindly', reluctantly retracting his gaze that had stayed on Lilu's ****, beckoning the other two apprentices to follow behind him, stepping through the thick door that exuded all kinds of old smells.

Lilu hesitated for a moment, then swayed her waist slightly, and stepped into the magic prop shop that she hadn't been to for a long time and witnessed her bitter past.

Like the dilapidated signboard and the door, the store smells old and even rotten, the dark indoor air is not circulating at all, the floor on the ground is full of holes, and a lot of fine dust will fly out of the cracks when you fall down, chasing the traces of people. The faint light was scattered, as if a white ghost was playing, the few pieces of furniture were worn out to the point where they were no longer visible, and the musty smell was everywhere, as if the whole room was moldy, and one had to worry about whether the black roof above would be overwhelmed and evade responsibility.

"Closed today...... Please turn around...... Thank you. ”

No sooner had the group stopped, and before they could get used to the few lights here, a hoarse voice that was muddy and indistinct like a wind sounded in the darkness.

Doug's face has a good dark vision function, and when he heard the reputation, he was accidentally startled by the image of the person who spoke up. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge head, so bright that you think he is bald, and if you look closely, there are still a few strands of gray hair stubbornly remaining, hanging down haphazardly, but they are as dry as a straw rope that has been dried for a hundred years, and the big dead fish-like eyes look as if they have never recovered after a great fright, and they are wide open and staring forward, and the lines on the shriveled face form a strange expression, which makes you always think that he is trying to plot something against you, and he looks about sixty years old, and is so short that he can only be half a body taller than Fifian, the whole body is thin to skin and bones, and the hand is no different from the claws of a skeleton.

In short, if you want to play the role of a dry corpse, this one doesn't need makeup at all.

"We're not here to buy something. Fifian stepped forward and looked at the 'superb' man in front of him with great interest: "What about your boss?

"Ahem!"

Lilu, who was following behind the two, suddenly coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then smiled and took two steps forward, and her soft delicate body took the opportunity to come to Doug's side, stretching out her slender hand to introduce everyone: "Dear mentor, this gentleman in front of you is the owner of the shop, the owner of 'Hudher' himself,"

She turned around and bowed to the man, "Not only does he have a high-level license from the Alchemist Guild, but he's also a magician recognized by the 'Tower of Sunset'!"

"Your image is too obvious,"

Fifian frowned and looked left and right at Hudhel for a long time, and finally shrugged his shoulders: "Don't hide it at all, aren't you afraid that others will have any suspicions?...... Oh yes, you've got the famous black-hearted 'Sunset Tower' certification!

"Little girl, don't talk too casually!"

Although most of his attention was attracted by the gentle body next to him, Doug was still vigilant at all times, and at this moment, seeing that Fifian faintly revealed that he knew some secrets of this shop, he couldn't help but secretly warn him, and at the same time kept an eye on Hudhel to prevent him from making any rash moves: "My 'students' are still here!"

The genius girl seems to prefer the way of acting without saying hello...... What a hassle!.

As soon as his words passed, Fifian's small hand in his pocket opened slightly, and an invisible fluctuation flashed in the air, and the staff in Doug's hand suddenly flashed quickly, and Lilu and the other two apprentices beside him shook twice and fell to the ground softly.

"Hey, guest, don't do this kind of thing in my shop...... Please. ”

Hudherr said slowly, as if he didn't see the person who fell to the ground, he just shook his head a little embarrassed, and the dead fish eyes that were already stiff casually swept Lilu who fell to the ground, and even the rate of breathing did not change at all: "Lilu @Ambeshs is a descendant of my old customer...... You also know that I have a name in the 'Tower of Sunset', and the surname of 'Ambesh' will have to be taken care of more or less......"

His shriveled mouth was squeezed by the loose muscles of his face, and he could barely see his lips moving, and he was so disgusted that he almost threw the 'Aria of the Pious' in his hand.

"There's no need to disguise anymore, the next ceremony is very serious, you can't do this attitude!"

Fei Fei'an straightened his small body, gradually put away his smile, and his little face became serious: "Come, let's confirm each other's identities first!"

He very gracefully straightened his appearance under the gaze of Hudher's dead fish, and after clearing his throat with a few dry coughs, he held up his other one, which he had been carrying in his pocket since entering the store, and displayed the delicate 'obsidian' ring on it in front of Hudher.

The moment the ring appeared, Hudher's breathing suddenly stopped, all the wrinkles on his face seemed to tremble together, and although a pair of stiff dead fish eyes still showed no emotion, the overall performance clearly showed that he was very stunned and shocked now.

Doug quietly moved his steps and stood behind Fifian, staring at Hudhel vigilantly, waking up to take responsibility for the little girl's life.

Peeking in, there was nothing special about the ring on Fifian's hand, although the workmanship was exquisite, the materials used were of little value, and the obsidian was not as big as his own little fingernail, although the lines carved on it were indeed very exquisite...... I don't know why Hudhel looked so surprised when he saw a ghost - bah, the ghost would be frightened when he saw him!

"That clear and pure name,

You and I both know it exists—"

Fifian suddenly sang something in a low voice, and the language used Doug did not understand at all, but felt very awkward, and to his surprise, Hudhel moved his shriveled mouth and sang with Fifian:

"But we don't speak, we don't write,

Let the memory sleep forever in sorrow—"

The low syllables echoed in the air, and although Doug could not understand it, he could feel the attraction of the strange rhythm, which made one want to sing along with them, and although he immediately controlled the impulse, his fingers could not help but beat to the beat.

“...... Who are you?"

Hudher's stiff dead fish eyes could not see any fluctuations, but the skinny hand slid through the void above the black stone ring, and without knowing what he did, the ring suddenly emitted a faint light, but it was black—yes, black light—and the light formed a strange sign, the center of which was exactly the same as the nameplate of the 'three triangles' that "All Things Are Silent"!"...... How is this possible......"
