12 Prayer
In Dehumi's market, slaves have always been the most sold, but today is an exception, as a celebration of the 'magic' theme of the Lady Waukin, magical objects, circuses, and bards fill the market, and in the countryside around Dhumi, the Searles who believe in Waujin bring their children to participate in this mysterious carnival.
The statue of the lady was carried to the center of the market, where the praying priests performed their rituals, and the temple was reserved for the merchants to organize great feasts, and the slave traders were polite at this time, as if everything had changed on this day.
Although Searle under the rule of the red robe was a little gloomy most of the time, it was always difficult to suppress people's love for lively heavenly surnames, full of singing, chasing and laughing, and occasionally a girl holding flowers shouted "For the lady", stuffing bouquets of flowers into the hands of passers-by.
"I don't like it here. "Hiccol's face was not very good, and it seemed that the crowded place did make her a little irritable.
"You haven't settled into the atmosphere yet. Penny smiled and took the lilac from a young girl: "It smells very good, do you want to smell it." β
"Don't. Hiccol tilted his head, and then exclaimed, and Penny put a bouquet of flowers in her bun, and the lilac petals and stamens sprinkled on the strands of her hair, giving off a sweet fragrance.
"You're so annoying!" Hiccle was furious and wanted to sweep away the spilled cloves, but was dragged by Penny, and the girl glared angrily, but saw Penny smile and pull over a little girl who was less than the waist of the two, and asked, "Do you think this sister is beautiful?"
"Good looking. Little Lori held her fingers, her big eyes flashed, and she nodded heavily, looking very cute: "Big sister is so beautiful." β
Embarrassment and shyness instantly filled Hickel's heart, and she lowered her head and heard Penny whisper in her ear, "I said I wanted you to be happy, look, aren't you happy?"
Little Lori bounced away, and Hiccor looked at Penny with a complicated expression: "Why do you want me to be happy?"
"Because you're the biggest owner of the tavern, if you're gloomy and decadent all day long, the tavern business will be difficult. "I just want my work to go smoothly," Penny said. β
"Lying. Hickor bit his lower lip and clenched his fists: "That person asked you to be the manager, whatever is it, you just have the final say, why bother asking me." β
"Replace the old sign at the door?"
"You!"
"You see, no matter what I say, you will think that I have ulterior motives for you, and you will not believe that I am a good person?" Seeing that Seacol was also suspicious, Penny had no choice but to touch the girl's head helplessly: "In short, don't think that everyone wants to harm you. β
"Hmph. Hiccor pouted, angry in his heart, but for the person in front of him, he had a feeling that he had no place to vent his anger, but he was sullen, and after a while, this anger could not be born again, and Penny did not give her much time to think: "Come, pray to the lady, and wish our business is getting better and better." β
"Why do you want to talk more about what I pray?"
"Don't you want a more beautiful pendant, a better dress?"
"I ......" Hickel wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly darkened, and the priest in beautiful clothes walked up to him with a smile: "Believer, are you ready to participate in the carnival of the Lady of Fortune?"
"Allow us to pray and praise first. Penny threw a few Belen in the box, and the priest smiled and arranged his seatsβthese priests were very rich, because the devout servants of the Lady of Fortune were merchants, and the whole church smelled of money, and Penny bowed to the stone statue of the goddess, wishing, as always, that it would not be built into a brick wall after death. Every time he prayed, he wished that the tavern would do well, and that it would be incidental if he could not spend a lot of money in the future, but Hiccor didn't know what he had promised, and when he opened his eyes, he became silent, and his mood seemed to be a little low.
"Yo, little brother, are you also here to worship the goddess?" After a warm smile was transmitted to him, Penny turned his head and did not shy away from it, and directly hugged the mature female body, and a fragrance came to his nose: "Those who do business always ask for the protection of the lady." β
"Heh, sister is so welcome, aren't you afraid of your little girlfriend's jealousy?" Vika also hesitated a little when she saw such an over-the-top greeting, but turned to smile, obviously not disgusted, touched the young man's head, and looked at Hiccol, who had bulging cheeks on the side, with a smile.
"This is the big boss of our tavern, Hiccol Jan Wats, this is Lady Vika of Dark Horse and Moon. Penny sniffed hard at Vika's chest a few times, until Vika and Hickor rolled their eyes together, and introduced each other with a complacent expression.
Hiccor was a little strange, why Vika was slightly unhappy at the moment she appeared, and after thinking about it for a while, she found that she really had no reason to be angry, but seeing Penny so deliberately taking advantage, her face was inexplicably more ugly, but seeing that the lady's smile was warm and bright, and etiquette was hindered, she had to greet: "Hello Ms. Vika." β
"Just call me Sister Vika. Vika smiled and hugged the girl, and the girl's face was also red, and when she heard the woman say to Penny, "You must be kind to the girl, so that Lady Workin will bless you, and will not let the girl you love leave you because of money, in this day and age, this blessing is much more effective than that of the fire-haired lady", and her face turned even redder:
"Where...... Nothing. β
"Lady Vika, you're really mistaken. Penny touched his nose, a little helpless, although Sheckel is beautiful, but still young, he really has no interest, the important thing is that this kind of rumor may cause a negative impression in Sheckel's heart.
"Hehe, you don't have to care if I misunderstand or not. Vika smiled and said, "Also, what are you doing outside like this, call Sister Sheng to listen." β
"Hello sister. Penny rolled his eyes, as if teased.
"Are you satisfied with my sister's gift?"
"Thank you, sister. Penny remembered the big gift in the morning, and he was not stupid, he already knew roughly what was going on: "Actually, sister, you don't have to do that. β
"How can my sister steal business with my brother?" Vica smiled and rubbed Penny's head, "Now I have to beg Ms. Wokin to give me more business opportunities." β
Although there was no obvious hint of complaint in his tone, it still made Penny feel a little guilty in his heart, although he knew very well that if Celine's Tavern became bigger, it would be difficult for the dark horse and the moon without a backstage to continue.
If the business competition is together, even if you don't use Penny to find old Jenhuas, and directly find the municipal axe, it is enough for competitors to eat a pot, I have to say that this beautiful woman is very good at doing things, so selling it to Penny makes him really feel ashamed.
What's more, Penny still has no way of telling if all this was done by Vica on purpose, or if it really happened to be a coincidence.
He didn't think about it at all, he just thought it was always good to be close to such a big beauty all the time, and it was still interesting to think that on the day the tavern opened, he actually used five Belen to pull Vika to hold up the sign for a long time.
"Okay, if my brother has any chance to make a fortune in the future, don't forget to tell my sister!" Vika smiled, saw Augen's greeting in the distance, kissed Penny on the face again, and turned to leave.
"Are you so nice to everyone?" the mature female surname walked away, and Penny heard the girl next to her ask, her voice cold.
β...... Probably. "Does people have any ill will towards him, and why should he treat others badly?
Hiccor looked at Penny with two eyes, and for the first time his gaze did not show a chill from a thousand miles away, but calmly observed, as if he wanted to see the boy who seemed to be about her size clearly, and after a long time, he turned his head and said, "You said that you wanted to make me happy today, didn't you......"
"yes. Penny nodded casually again.
"Can you promise me one thing......
......
I went out and came back in the afternoon, and I saw more and more new friends, and I was excited, and I couldn't wait to squirt out the new chapter, but I was distracted and slow, and I have been coding until now............
