Chapter 39: Lucia's Masterpiece
At dawn, Sophia dragged her tired body back to Lucia's mansion, her face full of gloom. An all-nighter tout is really nothing, and the lack of results after exertion is the source of her exhaustion. For more than a dozen hours, Sophia and Agni tried all the methods they could think of, but they still couldn't get in touch with the old general, which was really abnormal.
The old general was appointed to the command of the royal capital during this great martial arts festival, and it is normal if it is too busy to find anyone, but after a series of investigations, Sophia found that the old general's orders were issued through his cronies, and the emergency was also handed over to Reinhardt, who should be in charge of the great martial arts festival, to deal with, and recently almost no one has seen anyone directly meet the old general himself.
The relationship between the old general and the royal family of Lilbourne is far from a simple relationship between monarchs and ministers, there are more friendships and bonds in it, which is also the biggest reason why Sophia firmly believes that the old general will not encounter accidents, but the facts are all in a bad connection, which makes Sophia's confidence shaken.
-- Now is not the time to be weak, Sophia. Sophia secretly cheered herself up. The old general and Agni are more like ancestors and grandchildren than their master and apprentice, and now Agni must be more worried about the safety of the old general than himself, so he can't put his worries on his face.
In this case, Sophia and Agni were not in a good mood, and the two just walked without saying a word.
As Lucia's mansion came into view, Sophia suddenly felt a slight sense of incongruity, it was difficult to describe the feeling, just like the usual cup was broken and even if it was replaced with an exact one, even if the eyes could not see the difference, but could feel that there was no original sense of familiarity.
It didn't take long for Sophia to understand the reason for the incongruity.
When you open the gate, you can see the mansion as it was as usual, but when you open the gate, you can see the crumbling ground, the broken walls, and the bright red blood stains on the white ground.
Sophia silently stepped back and closed the door.
What I saw was the mansion as usual.
Push open the door again.
What you see is the crumbling ground, the broken walls, and the conspicuous red blood stains on the white ground.
Well, Sophia probably understood what was going on, and she pushed the door open again, this time with Jonathan carrying a bucket of water towards the bloodstains.
"Where are Lucia and the black-hearted butler?"
Jonathan saw Sophia hurriedly put down the bucket and saluted before replying.
"Big Miss and Blackheart...... No, Einstein and Einstein just had breakfast and are in the hall right now. ”
After bowing slightly, Sophia walked directly into the main room, although she could guess what was going on, but the specific reason was still to listen to Lucia's account.
I don't know if it was affected by the traces of the previous battle, Sophia always felt that the original luxurious and beautiful mansion of this table had a sense of vicissitudes, and even when she pushed open the door of the main house, she seemed to hear the friction sound of the aging bearings.
Even Sophia herself wondered what was the feeling that only she had been forgotten by time after only one day?
Lucia was lying on the small coffee table to write and draw, because it was inconvenient for the small coffee table to be at the same height as the sofa cushion, so she used a kneeling posture that almost the whole person climbed onto the coffee table, which also made Lucia's soft and beautiful long silver hair spread on the small coffee table, and the poor writing posture was undeniably cute.
The black-hearted butler still sat on the sofa reading with a smile that had not changed for thousands of years. However, Sophia's sharp eyes found that this guy was holding a book in his hand, and his eyes never left his master most of the time.
It was originally a very peaceful everyday picture, but the huge crack in the wall, which was obviously man-made, added a strange sense of disconnection from reality to this picture.
"Sophia!"
Lucia, who heard the movement and looked up, waved her hand at Sophia excitedly.
"Come and see my masterpiece!"
If it was seen by Jonathan, she would definitely complain that the treatment was too poor, but Sophia didn't know Jonathan's pitiful treatment, she saw Lucia beckoning, and she couldn't bear to spoil Lucia's interest, so she had no choice but to postpone the business and play with Lucia first.
"I'll see what you've drawn. ”
Sophia, of course, saw Lucia writing and drawing, so she took it for granted that Lucia was drawing.
Lucia smiled mysteriously and proudly handed Sophia the ad she had designed.
Sophia only glanced at it, and with a shake of her hand, she almost dropped Lucia's masterpiece to the ground.
Weird, terrible, terrifying, these adjectives pale in the face of Lucia's masterpiece.
What should I say, it is indeed a masterpiece in a sense, and Sophia feels that at least she is definitely not so destructive of imagination.
"How?"
Lucia waited for Sophia's evaluation with an expectant and nervous face, after all, it was the first time she had designed an advertisement, and no matter how confident she was, she needed the support of others.
Sophia took a lot of effort to keep her expression from becoming bitter, and this Lucia's masterpiece can feel the pressure even if you are just a viewer, let alone evaluate. However, since Lucia asked for this, Sophia had no choice but to hit it hard, but she still needed to understand the enemy situation before colliding.
"This ...... This ...... What is it?"
Sophia didn't know what to call this Lucia's masterpiece.
"Advertising, or flyers, I'm going to open a store. ”
Speaking of which, there is indeed a ghost drawing on it that looks like a promotional slogan, Sophia saw it but couldn't understand it at all, and if it wasn't for Lucia saying that it was an advertisement, Sophia wouldn't have guessed what that ghost drawing was.
"Fulfill all the wishes of the shopkeeper Ruxia-sama that are interesting for others (the scale must be at least above the turmoil in the corpse soul world, if it is only Yoshihara Yan's scale, there needs to be additional fun, and the scale of the Nakashinobi exam will be answered according to the mood of the day)."
Is this kind of propaganda slogan, which is half unheard of, and half willful, really taken seriously? Or is this kind of joke-like store really okay? Sophia was skeptical.
Sophia took Lucia's ad and looked at it, left and right, struggling to prepare her words.
Lucia looked at Sophia for a long time and didn't say anything bad, so she thought that Sophia must have failed to find something bad, so she straightened her chest proudly.
"Sure enough, I can't find a problem, it's me, and I'm really talented in this area. ”
- No, I just didn't come up with a way to say that I wouldn't touch on the bad part. Come to think of it, Sophia doesn't plan to say this kind of thing, it doesn't matter if an innocent girl dreams innocently.
"Of course, how can there be a problem with my master's masterpiece, mortals can just look at the blessings that have been cultivated for several lifetimes. ”
Sophia gave Einstein a fierce look, she felt that the innocent Lucia must have listened to the slander of this black-hearted butler to have such unreliable behavior.
"I don't think it's ...... If it's scary, maybe it's better. ”
Sophia thought about it and finally chose the smallest flaw to evaluate.
But Albert Einstein said that it is best to ...... mysterious. ”
- Is that really you! Sophia's mouth twitched, this courtier was indeed a cancer on Lucia's side.
