Freud led Jiajia out of the nail salon, avoiding two reckless magic school students. Seeing Dominic and Amos standing stiffly at the door, a smile appeared on his handsome face, "You are here too."
Dominic and Amos came to the nail salon secretly. They thought that what happened was the most embarrassing moment in their lives, but they turned around and met a familiar dragon. The faces of the two dragons froze at this moment.
Although Freud is a fire dragon, he has a relatively mild temper, unlike Dominic and Amos who have heavy baggage.
Seeing that his two fellow tribesmen looked unhappy, he kindly explained, "I brought Jiajia here to get a set of magic nail art done. The owner only accepts three orders for magic nail art a day. I made an appointment for tomorrow and will come with Cecil. If you two want to do it, it's best to make an appointment now. There is only one spot left tomorrow, and the next appointment will be the day after tomorrow."
Only one spot left
Sometimes, the things that are snatched up are the most fragrant.
Even if the appointment is made the day after tomorrow, which means just waiting one more day, I still feel like I'm losing out.
The dragon, with a strong desire to win, didn't care about the embarrassment just now and moved immediately.
Audrey and Jonbe arrived at a very suitable time. Lu Yao had just received Huolong and his son, so he had time to do two simple manicures and take care of Eugenia at the same time.
Both girls are students of the Royal School of Magic. Audrey went home for the holidays and met her cousin who was visiting her home.
She noticed at a glance that her cousin's nails were different from before. They were pink and moist and very cute, with small white flowers painted on them, which was completely different from the effect created by the mist wood liquid.
She asked her cousin and found out about the existence of Luyao Nail Salon. After returning to school, she couldn't wait to invite her friends to come over.
Jones could be said to be the top student in the magic academy. She usually either hangs out in the library or in the potion laboratory and rarely spends time on other things.
If Audrey hadn't asked her out for three consecutive days, preventing her from concentrating on her studies, she wouldn't have agreed to come to such a remote town to do a manicure.
I used up a high-level teleportation axis when I came here, and I will have to use another one when I go back. Qiong Bei felt painful just thinking about it.
Qiong Bei secretly warned herself that she was only here to accompany Audrey and at most get the cheapest manicure to experience it, and she must not invest too much in such an unprofitable thing.
Audrey has been preaching these days about how beautiful manicures are. Jonbe already has an idea of what the word "manicure" means, which is dyeing the nails.
Mumu led the two to sit down and went to pour tea.
Jonbe secretly poked Audrey, "Why is it a slime reception? Is there really nothing wrong with this store?"
Audrey didn't know about this either, but she was open-minded and didn't mind at all: "Slime is wearing clothes, I think it's cute."
Jonbe: “… Is that what I meant?”
Lu Yao was talking to Eugenia, explaining some of the requirements for being an apprentice.
In addition to helping Mum with chores and receiving guests, Eugenia also has to learn how to do nail care for guests, learn how to do nail painting, and spend time practicing.
Fearing that the guests would have to wait for a long time, Lu Yao said a few words and came over first.
Eugenia was smart enough to follow Lu Yao.
Lu Yao handed over the tablet and said, "These are the styles that can be made in the store. Take a look at them first. The one who decides on the best one can make it first."
Audrey and Jonbe took the tablet, and Mumu taught them how to use it. The soft and cute Shotaune did not have the rudeness and stupidity of a monster. Its blue and transparent little claws slid back and forth on the screen.
Not only the two guests, but even Eugenia was stunned.
Lu Yao received three dragons that day and stayed in the laboratory the whole time.
Eugenia learned from Mum how to receive customers and clean the shop. She had heard Mum talk about manicures, but when she saw the pictures for the first time, her eyes were fixed.
After Mumu demonstrated, he slid his paw upwards, turned to the first picture, clicked it, and then remained silent.
Qiong Bei was shocked when she saw that the first nail care product cost eighty-eight copper coins.
This manicure looks like nothing was done, but it cost eighty-eight copper coins. Is this a shady shop
Audrey took a quick glance and saw several styles that she liked. She didn't pay any attention to the first one. She just glanced at it casually and turned to the next page.
The more Qiong Bei looked, the more frightened she became. Nail care was the cheapest service in the store. Any style with a little pattern cost 188 copper coins, and the price got more expensive the further she turned.
At this time, Dominic and Amos walked in.
The two walked to the table almost at the same time, recognized Lu Yao accurately, and said in unison: "Shopkeeper, I want to make an appointment for magic manicure."
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, "Okay."
Dominic and Amos looked at each other. Adult dragons are more mature after all. They just exchanged glances but did not start a quarrel.
Jonbe and Audrey were impressed by the two men's aura and were surprised that a man would come to them for a manicure.
Also, what is Magic Manicure
Lu Yao took out a small notebook from the drawer and wrote down the number. "Tomorrow is fully booked. When are you two free the day after tomorrow?"
Dominic lost his composure a little: "How come it's already full? Aren't there three places available per day?"
Amos also stared at the owner.
Lu Yao nodded affirmatively: "It is indeed fully booked. A lady came to make an appointment at noon."
Suddenly, there is no need to compete for the first or the last place if we make appointments on the same day.
Dominic had an appointment for the morning and Amos had an appointment for the afternoon.
Lu Yao wrote down the information and said casually, "A deposit of 200 gold coins is required to make an appointment for magic manicure."
Both dragons are adults and have several treasure mountains. Two hundred gold coins are nothing to them.
Audrey and Jonbe were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. They quickly looked down at the price tags on the tablet. Most of the styles were within five silver coins, and the most expensive one was no more than five gold coins.
So, what kind of manicure can you get for two hundred gold coins
I just felt that the price tag was very high, maybe we had entered a shady shop, and Qiong Bei was speechless.
Eugenia was equally shocked.
She used to work as the lowest-ranking maid in the city, getting up early and going to bed late every day, doing a lot of physical work, and earning one silver coin a month.
In the nail salon, you only need to receive customers, clean the shop, and learn manicure from the owner, which earns you four silver coins a month.
Eugenia was actually feeling uneasy, and thinking back on what her mother and neighbors had said, she almost ran away.
She suddenly realized that the owner's generous salary was not out of conspiracy, but he really wanted to take in an apprentice.
She once again determined to listen carefully to the owner's advice and strive to stay in the nail salon.
After the Dragon guest paid the deposit and left, Lu Yao looked at the other two guests and said in a gentle manner: "Are there any styles you like?"
Audrey raised her hand first and pointed to Lu Yao, "I like this style. Can the kitten be replaced with a pet? I have an Audrey hamster."
After listening to Audrey describe the characteristics of her pet, Lu Yao began to work.
The first step was still to sharpen her nails. Before taking any action, she glanced at Eugenia.
Eugenia understood, her eyes were sharp, and she was ready to study hard. Mumu also squeezed over secretly.
Audrey chose a cute manicure with light cherry color and transparent heart-shaped diamonds. Two of her fingers were designed with kitten patterns at the end, which was very suitable for her age.
Lu Yao replaced the kitten with an Aodai hamster, and deliberately drew it to be rounder. The hamster, like a small white fur ball, nestled on his fingertips, and he also drew a fallen light pink petal on its head, which looked cute and freehand.
At first, Eugenia was in a learning mood, thinking that she must learn the owner's skills as soon as possible, but later she gradually forgot about it.
It looks so good.
Obviously, the space for creativity is as small as the fingertips, but in the hands of the shop owner, it seems like a huge canvas for her to paint freely. With just a few strokes, she can sketch out the scenery, which touches the girl's heart.
Eugenia was a little excited. Will she work like this in the future
That's so happy.
Lu Yao carried out a stack of boxes filled with small diamond pieces, feeling as if he were in another world.
I have used real diamonds and real treasures so many times, and I haven’t used these simple small diamond pieces for a long time. When I opened them, I still felt very familiar with them.
Audrey was dazzled by the sparkles and picked out more than ten pieces in a row and asked Lu Yao to put them all on her.
She picked too many, and Lu Yao finally persuaded her to take back half of them.
For everyday manicure, if it is too gorgeous, it will look tacky. The most beautiful thing is to be appropriate.
When Qiong Bei saw Lu Yao stop the excited Audrey, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She also picked out a style, the same blush nail that the elf had chosen before.
But she didn't like boy grass, so she asked Lu Yao to paint Night Wind Chimes - a kind of herb that blooms small white wind chime-shaped flowers, which can calm the mind and make people calm.
The price tag for this model was 288 copper coins, which was far beyond Qiongbei's budget, but it was really beautiful.
Anyway, you are here to experience it. Instead of making a low-priced product that you don’t like, it is better to increase the price a little and make the style you like the most.
Jonbe took the risk, and even Audrey was surprised.
Lu Yao took a look at the design and said it was okay to do, while he was giving Audrey the final finishing touch.
She drew the magic circle skillfully, and Qiong Bei's eyes flickered: "Are you a light magician?"
Lu Yao nodded.
Audrey was also surprised that there was a light magician in this small town.
Anne and Mrs. Sid lived in Emerald Town for a while. Mrs. Sid left a few days ago and she was going back to Onoton City today.
Before leaving, she wanted to see Lu Yao again.
When Annie walked into the nail salon, she saw two girls in familiar uniforms inside and she paused.
Audrey had already finished her manicure. She stood up to make room for him. When she looked up, she saw Anne. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "Annie Sidlevis? Why are you here?"
When Jonbe heard the familiar name, she immediately turned her head, "Annie, it's really you!"
"Why are you here?" Annie looked unhappy and turned around to leave.
Audrey, Jonbe and Anne are in the same grade, and Jonbe and Anne are in the same class.
The two were once known as the genius twins at the Royal Academy of Magic, but one was a hard-working genius, and the other was a genius with outstanding talent.
Audrey and Jonbei were childhood friends, and Audrey often heard Jonbei mention Anne, but the two had never met before.
Audrey stopped Anne and said, "Helena Kinklay has been looking for you. Why don't you go back to the academy?"
"She's looking for me?" Annie's eyes widened, almost laughing out of anger.
Audrey nodded. "Helena has indeed been looking for you. She threatened to defeat you at the Centennial Celebration and take away the Silver Rose medal."
Just her
Anne wanted to sneer, and something flashed through her mind.
Helena was obviously already with Zelan, and she had left the academy as she wished, so why did she say something like that
Is it a trap
Jonbe didn't even bother doing her nails, and walked up to Annie, "Are you really not going back to the academy?"
Anne was silent.
Qiong Bei's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Everyone says you are a genius, but I know your efforts are no less than your talent. You are talented, hardworking and strong, and your future is bright. Who is Zelan Rui? Is he worth wasting your life like this?"
Anne was speechless and finally chose to say nothing, pushed Jonbe away and turned away.
The atmosphere in the store became depressing. Qiong Bei stood there for a long time, then turned around and apologized to Lu Yao, "I'm sorry, shop owner. I'm not in the mood to do this today. I'll pay first and come back another day."
Lu Yao wanted to say that he didn't feel like doing it and didn't need to pay for it, but Qiong Bei dropped her purse and ran away.
Audrey hurriedly paid the bill and ran out with Jonbe's purse.
The bustling shop suddenly became quiet. Perhaps the change happened too quickly. Mum and Eugenia were a little at a loss. Harold and Sikin pushed open the black door and walked out of the laboratory.
"Lu Yao, is it time to eat?" Harold's voice was hoarse from having just woken up.
Lu Yao stood up: "Well, wait for me, I'll go buy some food."
The shop door opened and closed, and Eugenia's pupils shrank slightly.
Is it an illusion
The street outside the store just now didn't seem to be the street of Emerald Town.
Si Jin and Harold had not seen Eugenia yet. They walked to the sofa and sat down. They did not talk to Eugenia, but looked at Mumu, asking, "Who is this?"
Mumu bulged her big, watery eyes and answered politely and innocently, "Ji?"
Harold: “…”
-
Audrey and Jonbe used the teleportation scroll to return to the imperial capital of Braibis, and then took a carriage from the square back to the academy.
They got off the car at the entrance of the Magic Academy and suddenly saw a red carpet laid out at the main entrance, extending all the way to the school. The head dean and all the teachers stood at the entrance, as if waiting to greet some important person.
Jonbe was still in a bad mood and was about to go in through the side door, but Audrey stopped her and whispered, "I have a feeling that the dean and the teachers are waiting for Master Carlos."
Qiong Bei was confused and asked in a low voice: "How do you know? Master Carlos is so busy, why did he come to the academy at this time?"
Carlos, the Empire's first great magician of light and the Empire's high priest, was once a student at the Royal Academy of Magic.
Audrey said mysteriously, "The school's centennial celebration is coming soon. At this time, the only important person who can make all the teachers in the school bow to greet him is His Majesty and Lord Carlos."
As the two were talking, an extremely luxurious red carriage slowly drove up and stopped at the entrance of the academy.
Audrey and Jonbe hid behind a stone statue on one side of the main entrance and carefully poked their heads out.
The carriage door opened and servants stood respectfully on both sides.
The silver-haired young man holding a staff slowly stepped down from the carriage.
He was wearing a silver-white robe with gold inlays, and his silver hair reached his waist and was tied behind his back with a golden hairband.
But for some reason, his eyes were closed and he didn't open them after getting off the car.
But he did not walk timidly. When the dean stepped forward to salute, he stopped in time, as if he had sensed something.
The silver-haired young man was welcomed into the academy by everyone. Even his back could not be seen. Audrey stretched her head to look at him. Her eyes and tone were full of excitement. "Am I right? It's Lord Carlos. He is worthy of being the Silver Rose of the Empire. He is so beautiful that I can't breathe."
Qiong Bei was also a little dazed, and because the distance was quite far, they couldn't actually see the high priest's appearance clearly.
What's more, he had his eyes closed, but the aura lingering around him was like holy light, soft and peaceful, making people unconsciously want to rely on it.
