The two ate breakfast silently listening to the sound of rain outside, and Lin Meng finally broke the peace and told Jubilee that she also planned to make blinds for their room, asking to enter his room again, and Jubilee reluctantly agreed.

Jubilee is alone downstairs tending to the shop because now it's raining and their customers are either staying at home or in the dungeon. So she moved on to other work, she took the materials from the pantry, and went to Jubilee's room first.

Opening the door, she looked into the dark room and pulled back the curtains through the room to let in the light, probably for the first time in a long time. Looking behind her, she realized that this was the first time she had seen some light in Jubilee room.

The room was dirty and messy.

The bed was not made up, and the quilts and blankets on it were messy. Jubilee never seemed to have made his bed, and she also saw crystal shards scattered on the floor.

"How long have these things been here?" She muttered to herself. They were here when she first came. Judging by the thick dust on the broken crystals, they should have been here longer. She puffed out her cheeks and couldn't help but wonder, what if Jubilee fell out of bed onto these crystal shards? What if he stepped on it when he got up to open the window?

Lin Meng walked back downstairs and picked up a broom from behind the counter.

"Jubilee, I'm going to clean your room!" She said to Jubilee halfway up the stairs.

"What are you?" Jubilee pointed at her, "You dare! ”

Lin Meng stuck out her tongue and ran up the stairs, knowing that Jubilee was busy dealing with customers and couldn't stop her.

She ran back to his room and began to sweep the crystal shards into a pile. Looking down, she looked at the broken mirror for a moment. The idea of fixing it popped into her head. She could probably stick the mirror's leg in the pot and use the spell. But...

Somehow, she felt that it would make Jubilee angry, and he probably wouldn't want that. Also, she simply swept the floor. Easier said than done, though, half the time is spent picking up old clothes and stacking them aside. Occasionally, Orr was scattered on the floor, and she kept them all on her desk, next to the flowers. She wanted Jubilee to know that she saw the flowers she sent.

Her expression widened as she looked down at the mattress underneath, it was covered from top to bottom with deep spots, stained with black, rusty old blood, and the top layer of fabric looked disgustingly brittle. Lin Meng replaced the bed sheets with new ones for the Jubilee, and couldn't help but wonder if these old sheets were used longer.

"Wow! Jubilee~" Lin Meng screamed, waving her hands in disgust.

Just for the sake of her friends, for the sake of the Jubilee, she had to be strong. After all, exploring dungeons is dangerous work. So a little blood is to be expected! Looking out the window, Lin Meng nodded, ran outside, and grabbed her bag.

"Jubilee! I'll be right back! I'll buy you a new mattress! Before the Jubilee had time to raise his head, Lin Meng had already walked out of the door of the store and ran to the tailor shop in the rain.

A few minutes later, she was standing inside the creepy tailor's shop. She couldn't help but notice that her sudden intrusion seemed to frighten the mannequins, as many of them stood in strange positions, facing the door in shock. The strange-looking man nodded, smoking his pipe as he closed the ledger.

"I need it right away, please! It's uh......"

The tailor nodded: "We know how big your friend's bed is." ”

Lin Meng smiled and handed over the money: "Thank you, you are the best!" ”

The tailor nodded, "I know." ”

Purchase:

When Lin Meng returned to the store, his body was completely drenched by the rain, and he stood there with his arms crossed: "You know? You shouldn't run around alone without consulting me! His leather gloves creaked, and his fists clenched angrily.

"Okay!" Lin Meng said in agreement.

Xi Nian tilted his head and waved his hands, trying to get rid of the water splashed on Lin Meng's body.

Lin Meng frowned and sighed: "Jubilee~"

"Why?" Jubilee asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry! It's just that your mattress is terrible! ”

"How's my mattress, it's none of your business!"

"Jubilee~" Lin Meng said hatefully.

Jubilee looked at her depressed expression: "... What? ”

"What?" Lin Meng puffed out her cheeks and made an aggrieved expression.

"What?" Jubilee shrugged his shoulders and was angry.

"You're so annoying!" Lin Meng jumped up and ran towards the stairs with a hard slap on the jubilee's ass.

"Come over to me!" Jubilee chased her and ran up the stairs.

"Ahh Stay back! Lin Meng shouted and stumbled up the stairs.

But one of Jubilee's hands grabbed her ankle: "Ah! Let go! Don't eat me! Jubilee~"

"I'd rather eat monsters! You may taste like snail! ”

"You're so annoying! Jubilee~! ”

With a cough, they both turned their heads at the same time to see Basil standing next to the door.

"Didn't I come at the right time?" The priestess asked awkwardly.

Lin Meng immediately stood up and responded: "Hey, Basil! ”

Jubilee still glared at Lin Meng angrily, but considering that there were outsiders now, he restrained a little: "Hey! Hello? Jubilee said dryly.

Basil walked forward, looking a little haggard, but at the same time unusually energetic: "I've spoken to my superiors and got her permission to work for you outside of church hours without having to go to the dungeon. ”

"That's great!" Lin Meng said.

Basil smiled and nodded: "If your proposal is still valid, I am willing to accept it." ”

Lin Meng and Xi Nian glanced at each other, nodded, and decided to make a temporary truce. Jubilee turned to Basil: "No problem, you can start working from now on." ”

Then Xi Nian raised a finger and pointed at Lin Meng: "Your first task is to treat her brain damage." ”

Lin Meng cleared her throat and ignored the sarcasm of the Jubilee and said, "As the captain of the team, I decided to let the Jubilee first take you to familiarize yourself with the work at the counter. ”

Jubilee narrowed his eyes: "Okay! ”

Lin Meng turned around and ran up the stairs: "I have something to do, see you in a moment!" The girl ran to the upstairs door and closed it before Jubilee could stop her. She went to make the newly bought bed for the Jubilee and then did her initial job of making blinds for both of their rooms.

Jubilee may be angry at her for invading his privacy, but she is willing to make that sacrifice if it helps boost their overall happiness.

"Sometimes you have to be patient with your friends' meanness!" Lin Meng said as she nodded with satisfaction, she looked at the finished blinds and moved her gaze to the flowers on the desk.

With the three of them working together, the day went by quickly. Lin Meng completed her task upstairs, tidying up Jubilee's room, and then pressed the blinds as well, she wasn't sure if these would stop the vampires from entering the house, but at least it might slow down, as for the demons and ghosts, she wasn't so sure.

"Basil?" When she came back downstairs and wanted to inquire about these things, she saw Basil looking up at her, and was obviously about to burst into tears.

Then came the ensuing Jubilee Fury against the priestess. "Hey! Look down here! Write it down! ”

"I wrote it down!" Basil pointed to the ledger and said aggrievedly.

Jubilee shook his head and said, "It's not like that! See! He snatched the pen from her hand: "Here, like this." You have to write down all the change and then ...... Hey! Don't cry! ”

Lin Meng smiled softly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Jubilee, be kind to Basil." ”

Xi Nian looked at Lin Meng again and said, "I'm as good to Basil as I am to you!" ”

Lin Meng looked at Basil's trembling lips and was also a little speechless.

"Basil? How can I stop the ghosts from coming in? Lin Meng tried to change the subject, allowing the frightened priestess to catch her breath.

I saw her eyes wide open: "Do you have a ghost here?" Basil looked around nervously and whispered, "Demon?!" ”

"Don't listen to her!" Jubilee wrote on the ledger and muttered, "She's just too imaginative and afraid of the dark." ”

"No, I didn't! Just because the foot demons haven't caught us yet doesn't mean they won't try! ”

Basil blinked, confused: "...... Foot demons? ”

"yes, you know what?" Lin Meng said mysteriously: "Foot demon." ”

Jubilee shook her head again and said, "Like I said, she is afraid of the dark, and she even came knocking on my door in the middle of the night and woke me up!" ”

"And that's not because of ......!" Lin Meng pouted and protested: "Jubilee! Why are you going to disgrace me in front of Basil! ”

"I'm just telling the truth!" Jubilee snapped his fingers, returning Basil's attention to the ledger.

Lin Meng's cheeks bulged and she glared angrily at the Jubilee who ignored her, which made her even more angry.

Seeing that the two of them were busy, Lin Meng went to take care of other things, such as moving the equipment for maintenance upstairs and replenishing the goods on the shelves. Today, their footfall is decreasing again, but it's steady. At noon, Lin Meng bought some food for the two of them, and Basil happily ate it.

Finally, the day is over.

Jubilee sits at the counter and is responsible for counting the day's profits. Basil is cleaning while Lin Meng is replenishing the shelves.

"Well done today, Basil!" Lin Meng said to the priestess who looked very tired.

"Thank you!" The tired woman responded.

She suddenly remembered something, and her eyes widened and said, "Ah! That's right! ”

She took out a piece of paper from the pocket of her robe and handed it to Lin Meng.

"What is this?" Lin Meng took it from her hand suspiciously.

It was a piece of paper for them, but with some symbols, a circle, and a bunch of lines and letters on it that she didn't recognize.

Small protective imprints

A blessed seal that prevents the entry of troublesome energies.

This seal emitted a faint amount of divine energy.

Basil smiled and nodded, "It's a small guardian sigil. Stick it somewhere, and it should prevent ghosts and demons from appearing in the building! The priestess continued to sweep the floor, "But there is nothing I can do about the foot demons. ”

Lin Meng looked at this thing and was very happy: "Thank you, Basil!" "Her plan to protect the store is one step further. With this, the goblin threat will be avoided.

"Don't encourage her!" Jubilee said with a sigh. "The only ghost here is in her stupid head."

Lin Meng turned his head with indignation and ignored Jubilee.

Soon after, the three of them finished their work, and Jubilee gave the wide-eyed Basil her day's wages. Basil's hands trembled, and her eyes widened as she looked at the one hundred and fifteen Orr in her palm. The coins jingled, and she trembled nervously, suddenly feeling less tired.

"Let's go wild! But don't get pregnant or come back drunk."

"I don't think she can drink! Jubilee! Lin Meng thought with his fingers on his chin.

Jubilee sighed.

"That'...... Thank you! I'm looking forward to tomorrow's work! Basil bowed his head and said with a half-bow.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Jubilee waved his hand indifferently, "Today is very slow, sleep well, because tomorrow may be in a hurry again." At least if the weather wasn't so bad anymore. ”

"Good night, Basil!" When the priestess turned around and walked out of the door, Lin Meng waved goodbye to her, who was always staring at the coin in her hand: "Tomorrow we will stand at the counter together!" ”

Lin Meng sighed, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart. "I like Basil, she's good." The girl turned around and looked at Jubilee without answering. He stood there with his arms crossed, his boots rhythmically tapping against the hardwood floor. Lin Meng thought for a moment and looked at her friend's tense posture. "Yes...... Are you still angry about the mattress? She asked cautiously.

Jubilee narrowed his eyes.

The girl smiled, scratched her cheeks, and slowly began to circle the Jubilee. "Jubilee?"

"What?" Jubilee responded suspiciously and carefully watched her movements.

"Watch your ass!" Lin Meng rushed up the stairs quickly.

Jubilee looked at Lin Meng, who quickly ran upstairs and disappeared, and said angrily: "Come down!" You bastard! ”

"No~!"

After a night of silence, the next morning, the two of them had finished making all the lanterns and were now sitting downstairs enjoying breakfast together. Although Jubilee still doesn't seem to want to talk to her much today.

It is worth mentioning that earlier, Lin Meng went to the guild to pay off his debts. To her surprise, she found that she now had enough money to pay it back completely, but she chose to continue to pay it back one by one. Just in case they suddenly need emergency funding to fix the problem.

Repaid { 1000 } Or] !

{ 5998 Aur Remaining Expiration}

Basil eventually showed up shortly after Lin Meng returned, and the three of them stood in a half-circle before they opened their doors. Basil was well rested, and at this time he was looking at the lanterns with his eyes wide open, which Lin Meng had managed to make the night before. One sits on the counter as a display, the rest are neatly arranged on shelves, along with daggers and bone swords.

"These are amazing, did you make them?" She asked Lin Meng.

"Of course!" The girl nodded, pleased with the recent flurry of compliments.

"Jubilee also helped me!" She said as she looked at Jubilee, but the latter still ignored her.

"Today is their first showcase, and I hope you enjoy it!"

"I'm sure they will!" Basil looked at the lantern curiously and swore an oath.

As soon as the store opened, it attracted a large number of customers.

Lin Meng grabbed Basil's hand and hurriedly dragged the woman behind the counter, and then the crowd crowded into the store, and then immediately scattered in all directions to get potions, repair their equipment, or buy weapons.

"Hey! Look at that! An elven man in chain mail patted his companion on the shoulder and said, then bent down to pick up a lantern and spun around, "I told you there's always something strange here. ”

The crowd turned, turning their attention away from the potion and looking at the lantern shelf on the other side of the room.

"It's a bit heavy, but it's ......"

"Is that an enchanted lantern?" A voice in the crowd asked.

"I guess so?" Another loud voice responded.

"In such a dilapidated place?" A skeptical woman asked, crossing her arms.

Lin Meng tapped her fingers on the counter excitedly, but tried to keep the smile on her face.

Jubilee shouted discontentedly from the stairs: "They are enchanted lanterns, 299 Auer each!" Waterproof, they will burn non-stop. If you want to buy it, you can buy it, and you don't buy it away! ”

That's all the crowd needs to hear, and people start franticly crowding around the lantern shelves. Lin Meng and Basil worked together for a day and showed her how to work at the counter in a more compassionate way than Jubilee.

To her relief, Basil seems to be a quick learner, and despite her mistakes, she learns everything quickly. By the afternoon, Basil could be alone at the counter for a while, while Lin Meng was busy going up and down with maintenance equipment. Just because she had to close the door behind her every time, she couldn't help but wonder if it would only make things more suspicious than they would be without the door.

She sighed, it was too late to say anything. Lin Meng looked up at the door on the stairs, at least with a satisfied smile, because she saw the small protective mark glued to the door.

Later than usual, the Red Wizard walked in, apparently back to his best, and Lin Meng greeted happily, while Basil just looked at it suspiciously, not really understanding what was happening.

"I like your weapons!" Lin Meng said.

"Thank you!" The Red Wizard proudly held out a black metal staff with a red orb on top to her, "I made it with the boss core!" It helped me a lot! ”

"That's great! Are you going to go down the dungeon today? ”

"Yes! The reset is almost here, so I want to go a few deeper levels! ”

She waved goodbye, took the bag containing the five potions, and headed out the door, glancing nervously at the giants standing in line behind her.

After a while, a large man wearing dark plate armor and breathing heavily stepped forward and placed a dozen bone sword fragments on it: "I need to solve this problem. ”

Lin Meng looked down at the completely destroyed sword: "What...... What did you do with it? ”

He looked at her through the gap in his helmet, a pair of dark eyes flashing inside: "I killed the monster!" That's all he said. His body rose and fell with each exhalation, as if the breath coming out of his lungs was too strong to be suppressed.

"Oh...... Well. The girl scratched her cheeks and smiled softly at the formidable figure, "Tomorrow will be done, uh......" She looked down at the sword, trying to remember the price set for the Jubilee: "Please give me 30 Orr." ”

Without saying a word, the panting man put the coin on the counter and walked out. The floor creaked under the weight of his massive frame and heavy armor.

Basil looked at her uncertainly, "Don't you mind?" ”

"Mind what?" Lin Meng put the blade into a bag, which made it more convenient to carry.

"Crafting dark weapons?" Lin Meng looked back at Basil, who continued. "And that person apparently has ...... Annoying background! ”

Lin Meng thought about what he would say if he had a jubilee? Speaking of the Jubilee? I spent most of the day avoiding her today, probably because of the mattress. Lin Meng smiled and knocked on the coins on the counter: "It's okay, we made money." ”

She held up a finger and said, "We are merchants, Basil. It's our job to sell things. What people do with these things is none of our business! She struggled to remember what Jubilee had said to her.

The day passed quickly, and Basil, exhausted but in a good mood, left the store and went home. Xi Nian and Lin Meng finished the work in hand at the same time. The lanterns were sold out, both on display and on the shelves.

The next day, after "lecturing" Lin Meng on the topic of respecting the privacy of others, Jubilee's attitude seemed to ease a lot.

Before they opened, Lin Meng went to the guild to repay more money.

Repaid { 1000 } Or] !

{ 4998 Orr Remaining Expiration}

Basil came over early in the morning in good spirits, and the three of them got to work. Jubilee and Basil stared at the counter while Lin Meng retreated upstairs to replenish their inventory with more things. The Thieves' Guild came back to check their order and then arranged for a pickup. After inspecting the arrows and sword, he seemed satisfied and even bought a lantern. From this transaction, they alone earned more than four thousand Or, and Lin Meng was surprised to realize that she now had enough money to pay off her debt to the Adventurer's Guild, God! No wonder the merchants of this city are so murderous.
