Si Jin walked in with a gloomy face, "Harold, who said my nails were ugly last night? And who said we should go to Dragon Valley together in the morning?"
Harold: “…”
He was so preoccupied with his shiny manicure that he forgot about it.
Si Jin glanced at the basket of gold coins on the floor and the unused gems on the table. This guy was generous, but when he thought of his broken nails yesterday, he became furious: "Let's fight!"
Harold was a little embarrassed at first, but when he heard the invitation to fight, he immediately knew that Si Jin wanted revenge. He temporarily gave up the idea of showing off, covered his hands and stepped back, pretending to be mature and said: "Si Jin, fighting all day long, aren't you tired?"
Si Jin: “…”
I'm so angry. Harold, you're the only one in the whole Dragon Valley who has no right to say this, don't you know
Lu Yao didn't want the two dragons to fight in the store, so he stood up and advised: "Hadro's manicure is already done, you can go together, don't quarrel."
When Si Jin heard this, his knuckles cracked. "Harold, it's time to go to Dragon Valley."
Harold sat down instead and stuffed a basket of gold coins to Lu Yao, "I like it here, I want to live here."
Lu Yao looked at the glittering gold coins and couldn't say no.
The gold coins in this world cannot be brought to her world to be cashed. There is no alternate space in her world, and these things are placed in the warehouse and cannot be taken out, but they can be used to buy things in this world.
With such a large basket of gold coins, I could buy tons of meat, vegetables, eggs and milk for my family.
She wanted to try to buy some food at the snack bar to ease the financial pressure.
Si Jin felt that Lu Yao was going to succumb to the charm of the treasure, and he could understand that. After all, who could refuse a shiny treasure
But he couldn't let Harold stay here, so he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Lu Yao, "Shopkeeper, I want to give you this magic book. It covers all types of magic in the Alexandria continent. It is simple and easy to understand, and very suitable for beginners."
Lu Yao paused as she stretched out her hand towards the treasure. She also wanted the magic book. Especially after seeing Harold use magic to shrink the gem, her interest in magic skyrocketed.
The dragon's magic book must be a good thing.
Lu Yao always made choices quickly. He pushed aside the gold coins, took the magic book, and asked casually, "Harold just used a magic circle to shrink the gemstone. Is there anything similar in this book?"
Si Jin nodded.
This is the magic book that the little dragon cubs in Dragon Valley have to study from kindergarten to elementary school graduation. Various practical magic circles, potion formulas, and alchemy are included with simple and interesting pictures and texts.
Thinking of this, Si Jin took out a white crystal stone and said, "Before you start learning, do you want to test its properties first?"
The white crystal stone is called colored crystal, and it will have different reactions when absorbing magic power of different attributes.
After the magic power is injected, a crescent-shaped blade notch appears on the surface of the crystal, which is the wind attribute; the crystal becomes hot and red, which is the fire attribute; purple lightning lingers on the surface of the crystal, which is the thunder attribute; a soil barrier appears and wraps around the crystal, which is the earth attribute; the wood attribute is mainly for healing, and a plant seedling will appear inside the crystal.
Most magic schools use this crystal to test students' magical attributes and talents.
Lu Yao followed Si Jin's instructions and polished the colored crystal. A trace of black magic power was injected into the crystal. The colored crystal turned black, the surface cracked, and then broke into pieces.
Si Jin was a little surprised: "Dark attribute."
Darkness and lightness are special properties independent of the five natural properties. Dark magic has the strongest destructive power, while light magic has the power to dispel and repair, which is very restraining to dark magic.
These two are rarer than the other five attributes and require more talent.
The shop owner had a gentle personality, and her whole body and face showed weakness and harmlessness. Si Jinben had originally thought that she was of the wood attribute.
Harold was suddenly happy when he saw the test results. He put his hands behind his back and leaned towards Lu Yao. "I also have the dark attribute. We are the same."
Si Jin watched Harold approach Lu Yao, his golden eyes flashing slightly.
Dragons are inherently more powerful than any other creatures on this continent, and dragons with dark attributes are rare.
The dark dragon in the prophecy will inevitably bring disaster that destroys the world.
Harold is the only little dragon with dark attributes in the dragon clan in the past thousand years, and he carries an ominous sign.
Even the dragons reject him, so what about this human
Lu Yao was instantly surprised to meet a teacher, and said to Harold: "I plan to learn magic by myself. Can you teach me what I don't understand?"
Something called a sense of responsibility suddenly pressed down on the little black dragon's shoulders. He instantly swelled up and patted his chest and said, "No problem, you can come to me if you want to learn anything."
Lu Yao nodded and squatted down to pick up the crystal fragments that fell on the ground.
She swept the debris together, picked it up and prepared to throw it into the trash can. Suddenly, the crystal fragments glowed with warm golden light and gradually merged.
After a moment, a piece of white crystal, intact as before, lay in Lu Yao's palm.
Harold's eyes widened, his dragon eyes erected, "The power of repair, this is the attribute of light."
Si Jin was speechless, people with dual-attribute talents were not uncommon, whether they were humans or monsters, there were also extreme people with three magical attributes.
But it is even rarer for these two mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining attributes to appear in one person at the same time. This kind of talent is too terrifying.
To the extent that even dragons felt jealous.
Lu Yao didn't understand why they were surprised, but she was happy in her heart. The result of testing out the magical attributes meant that she had magic power and could learn and study magic.
Now that she had the magic book, she wanted to try out some ideas right away.
Si Jin took Harold away and the store became quiet. Lu Yao poured a cup of hot water, sat by the window and began to read the magic book that Si Jin had given him.
When the little black dragon left, he did not take his treasure with him, and left a whole basket under the table.
On the way to Dragon Valley, Si Jin said to Harold seriously: "Don't go to the nail salon anymore."
The shop owner had a high talent for magic and a light attribute that could restrain dark magic. Humans have complicated minds, and he was afraid that something might happen to Harold.
Harold was still a young dragon less than a hundred years old and didn't understand many things.
At his age, he should have been studying and making friends in Longgu, and only become independent when he was 150 years old.
Because of its dark attribute and being a black dragon, it left Dragon Valley early.
But this guy is very powerful. His magic learning and combat skills are far superior to those of other little dragon cubs of the same age. He also has a bad temper and goes back to Dragon Valley every now and then to find trouble and bully his former classmates and teachers.
After Si Jin became familiar with the two dragons, he was afraid that he would go too far, so he would basically accompany him.
Harold thought Sijin was being long-winded, so he suddenly stopped, stretched out his claws, and said proudly: "The star manicure she made for me is more sparkly and brighter than yours!"
Si Jin was stunned. He had never seen such beautiful dragon claws. The gems on the nails were as bright and dazzling as stars.
All the gems used were real gems, all of which were Harold's favorites. After being fiddled with by Lu Yao, they were completely in line with the dragon clan's preferences in every way.
Si Jin was even reluctant to remove Harold's nails. He suddenly suggested, "Why don't we go to Dragon Valley today?"
Harold: “?”
Si Jin: "I'll go back and pick out the gemstones and ask the owner to do a new manicure on me."
He also wants a shiny manicure made of real treasures.
Harold: "Didn't you say you didn't want to go?"
Si Jin: "... I thought about it again. We are dragons, why should we avoid the little humans?"
Harold has thick skin and strong flesh, so he won't be in any big trouble if he is hit by a few hits of light magic.
-
It was already dawn the next day when Lixiu and Elvy arrived at the city of Onoton. After walking for a day and a night, they found a familiar hotel and checked in as usual.
They slept until the afternoon, and when Lixiu woke up, Elvy was still sleeping.
Lishu didn't wake her up, but packed up the potions to sell and went downstairs.
The hotel owner prepared lunch. Lixiu touched her stomach and decided to eat a little before going out.
The waiter who served the food put down the food and prepared to leave. He accidentally saw a touch of tender pink and subconsciously looked over with surprise in his eyes: "Hello, I would like to ask, do you paint your nails yourself?"
Lixiu paused as she was about to take the spoon, smiled and shook her head: "No, it was done at a nail salon in our town. Isn't it beautiful?"
The clerk nodded and said, "I've never seen nails painted so beautifully. The color is so gentle."
That afternoon, after the clerk got off work, she was still thinking about Lixiu's manicure. The peach pink seemed to have cast a spell on her and could not be shaken off.
She bought some nail polish liquid from a nearby witch shop, and went home to try to dye her nails like Lishu's, but all ten of her fingers turned out to be ugly and black, but she was unsuccessful.
After dinner, Lixiu went to Sasha Pharmacy first, where the high-end potions she made were sold.
There were not many customers in Sasha Pharmacy in the afternoon.
Lixiu walked in, "Fisha, are you busy?"
The owner of Sasa Pharmacy, Feisa, is an elf, with long golden hair braided into pigtails, pointed ears, and a blank expression on her beautiful face. She shook her head rather coldly, "Not busy."
Because elves are long-lived and relatively self-centered, most of them have strong personalities.
Lixiu had already gotten used to Fesha's calm and indifferent personality, and she carefully took out the high-level potion she had made over the past month.
Feisa checked each bottle one by one. The quality was good, so she put them all on the counter. "Ten bottles of high-level potion, ten gold coins."
Lixiu reached out to pick up the gold coins. Feisha's eyes fell on her pink fingertips and her tone suddenly became excited: "How did you paint your nails?"
The color is so beautiful, light as mist, pink and tender, like wild cherry blossoms blooming deep in the spring forest, natural and refreshing, and does not look like it was dyed with misty wood, because misty wood cannot dye such a light and soft color.
Lixiu was a little uncomfortable with the fact that Feisa would be so emotional.
She was silent for a long time, so Feisa took her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and even touched her nails.
It is as smooth as porcelain, completely different from the rough feel of nails dyed with mist wood.
"Did you dye this yourself?" Feisa stroked Lixiu's nails and asked again, her tone more urgent than last time.
Lixiu shook her head. "There's a nail salon in our town. I do it there."
Fisa wondered, “What is a nail salon?”
Lixiu told Feisha exactly what Lu Yao had explained to her, and they also talked about many new and novel styles in the nail salon.
Feisha's eyes became brighter and brighter. When Lixiu was about to leave, she actually closed the shop door and expressed her desire to go to Emerald Town with Lixiu.
She also wants to have a manicure.
Lixiu was a little surprised. As far as she knew, Feisa lived in the city of Onoton and had not traveled far for almost ten years.
But Lixiu was also very happy. She didn't expect that just getting a manicure would lead to so many interesting things happening along the way. Even Feisa wanted to join her.
Lixiu asked Feisa to go to the hotel first. She took out three gold coins and went to the largest Sid Medicine Store in Onoton City to buy the necessary herbs.
When I came out, I met Mrs. Sid, the owner of the drugstore. This noble lady walked with her eyes half closed, with the corners of her eyes raised, as if she didn't care about anyone.
Lixiu was holding a large bag of herbs and subconsciously dodged.
Mrs. Sid walked past Lixiu casually, holding a feather fan.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, looked back at Lixiu suspiciously, picked up her skirt and walked back quickly, looking her up and down, and finally stared at Lixiu's fingers, her eyes shining, "Your nails are painted so uniquely."
