Lu Yao was too tired yesterday, so he didn't take it to heart and forgot about it.
She has also done lotus-themed manicures, mostly in blue-white or gold-green colors. The style is soft and generous, and it is particularly elegant and outstanding when paired with cheongsam.
But those styles obviously did not suit the guest in front of him who was suspected to be a priest.
Black and lotus are actually easy to make.
Carlos was blind, so Lu Yao expressed his thoughts verbally.
"It's up to you." The customer said casually, giving the impression that whether or not to get a manicure, and what kind of manicure it would look like, was not actually very important to him.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened. Lu Yao did not bother to find out what the customer was thinking, so he did not say much. He selected the nail polish he wanted to use, took out his tools and started to work.
There was a small problem when grinding my nails.
Lu Yao used the sanding strips that he usually gave to ordinary customers to grind Carlos' nails. After grinding for a while, the sanding strip broke.
"… "
This familiar feeling was exactly the same as the day she met Si Jin.
Lu Yao took out a new sanding strip, rubbed it once, but it still broke.
Lu Yao turned his head to look at Harold, hoping he could give him some hints.
Harold sat next to her, his head propped up by his hands while reading comics. There was a plate of snacks in front of him. He would turn a page and pick up a snack. There was also a drink at hand, and he looked as comfortable as an elementary school student on a spring outing.
Lu Yao sighed, stood up resignedly, took out the black gold nail file specially designed for dragons, and this time the nail did not break.
Could this one also be a dragon
But he didn't ask for sparkles.
Long's love for Jingjingjing seemed like an instinct engraved in his genes, which made her doubtful.
When thinking about the design, Lu Yao had an idea that he particularly wanted to try, and asked Carlos if he could do a magic manicure.
Carlos nodded and said calmly: "Whatever the owner thinks is appropriate, it's fine."
His expression and tone were so peaceful that Lu Yao felt a little discouraged.
This customer didn't seem to have any special interest in manicures, and no one knew why he came to the store. It couldn't be just out of curiosity, right
Lu Yao was lost in thought for a while, and only gradually focused when he polished his nails, applied protective nail polish, and began to construct the magic circle.
Inspired by Dominic and Amos, she wanted to try combining tracing and magic circles, layering them in layers to see if she could create a dynamic effect.
Lu Yao drew on his experience in making dynamic PPTs, using a light-attribute magic circle to set a delay, and then using a dark-attribute magic circle to continuously destroy the layers and reconstruct them. Countless small magic circles constructed a complete motion curve.
Even though the movement route was not complicated, countless magic circles and countless subtly different drawings had to be superimposed in the middle, and the first nail surface took two hours to complete.
The base color of the nails is pure black, with a few silver lotus leaves and a blooming silver lotus emerging from one corner of the nail. It seems that there is wind blowing, and the lotus stems and fluffy flowers are swaying gently, and ink-colored ripples are slowly spreading out from under the lotus leaves.
There are only two movements designed on the entire armor surface, the lotus swaying in the wind and the ripples on the water surface, which made Lu Yao so tired that his hands and feet became weak.
Unfortunately, the guests couldn't see it and Lu Yao couldn't get any feedback, which made him feel a little regretful.
After using the magic seal, Lu Yao pinched Carlos' fingers and looked at them for a long time. She really made moving nail art!
Carlos felt that the owner had not made any move for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask, "Owner?"
Lu Yao came back to his senses: "Hmm?"
Carlos was somewhat helpless: "How long will it take?"
"… Yeah, I've finished one." Lu Yao felt a little guilty. This manicure took too long. "It will be faster later. Are you hungry? Do you want some water?"
Carlos shook his head and raised his hand, "Continue."
Time ticked by, Harold's head nodded slowly, and he fell asleep on the table.
Lu Yao was busy when he discovered it, so he stood up, took the blanket and covered him with it, poured water for Carlos, and brought some food.
But Carlos didn't touch the food or drink the water in the store.
Lu Yao lowered his head and concentrated on his work, hoping to complete the manicure as soon as possible.
The thick night was lifted by the morning light, and a thin blue mist appeared on the horizon.
A thin layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead. Lu Yao raised his hand and wiped it casually, then took a tissue to wipe his hands and continued working.
There are two nails left, I can take a rest after I finish them.
The sun climbed to the top of the mountain and dazzling light shone in through the windowsill.
Harold rubbed his eyes and got up. Seeing Lu Yao still lying on the workbench, he looked incredulous and asked, "You didn't sleep all night?"
Lu Yao didn't have the energy to talk to him. He had only one thought in his mind: there was only one nail left.
When Mumu, Tina and Eugenia came to the store, Lu Yao was finishing the last nail surface.
Three apprentices came over and saw that at the moment the magic was completed, a petal from the huge flower branch painted with gold lines slowly fell from the still armor and floated on the water, creating a circle of ripples.
"Are you moving?"
The scene before her was so incredible that Eugenia got goose bumps all over her body and couldn't help but hug her arms and rub them gently.
"Chiji!" Mumu praised Lu Yao excitedly.
Tina stared at Carlos' fingertips without blinking. Not just the little finger that had just been completed, but the scenery on every nail of this manicure was moving and different.
This is a pair of mandarin duck armor, with only two colors: black and white and platinum.
The right hand side is in ink style, the lotus is white, the background is ink, and the mountains and waters around the lotus branches, the boat shadows and other scenery are all black, the only difference is the depth of the smudge.
The silvery-white lotus is reflected against the ink-like background, swaying beautifully.
The left hand is a large area of silver-white. Whether it is the lotus or the landscape and boat shadows, they are all based on white, with gold and silver nail polish outlining the shadows and layers. The colors are light, gentle, clear and holy.
Harold also came over to watch the fun. His eyes suddenly shrank slightly, and he pointed at Carlos' left ring finger, "There was a fish blowing bubbles just now."
That was the fifth color hidden on the entire surface of the armor - orange. A small orange goldfish floated to the surface of the water, spit out a bubble quickly and slipped away.
The design on Carlos's right ring finger is more obvious because the background color is black. An orange little fish swims hurriedly under the lotus leaf, like a ray of rosy clouds quickly passing through the deep night and cutting through the sky.
Tina's eyes were shining as if on fire. She had never seen such manicure before. Although no gems were used, it was so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off it.
I wish I hadn't left last night. If I had stayed in the store, I would have known how the owner made such a manicure.
The shop assistants surrounded Carlos in surprise, but Carlos himself was very calm.
After everyone had seen enough, he withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Shopkeeper, check out."
"Five hundred gold coins." Lu Yao no longer cared about Carlos's reaction and weakly quoted a price.
Carlos took out a bag of gold coins and placed it on the table, then picked up his staff and stood up.
He did not bring any guards this time. He came out of the nail salon and went to the teleportation array in the Fountain Square alone, leaning on his staff.
The female knight Elvy had just finished an escort mission. During the mission, she encountered a large group of monsters. She ran out of medicine and was injured. She came out of the teleportation array and went straight to Lixiu's pharmacy, where she met Carlos who was walking from the east street.
Elvy's expression changed slightly and she stepped aside. Why would the high priest appear in the remote Emerald Town
Carlos seemed to be aware of something, paused slightly, and turned his head towards Elvy.
Elvy held her breath and dared not make a sound.
Even if the other party was blind, she would not dare to be careless.
Because he can't see, Carlos' other senses are more acute than those of ordinary people.
He stood there for a while, then walked towards the teleportation array again.
After the others had left for a long time, Elvy's tense nerves gradually relaxed. She went to the pharmacy to buy some recovery medicine. Passing by a nail salon, she had an idea.
The only place that attracts customers in this town is the nail salon. Could it be that the high priest also comes here to get a manicure
Elvy thought the idea was too absurd. Even if His Majesty wanted to get a manicure, she wouldn't be surprised.
But if Carlos...
Elvy imagined the scene of the serious, cold, arrogant and steady high priest asking Lu Yao to do a manicure, and she felt a chill. This was absolutely impossible!
There is only one possibility, her whereabouts have been exposed.
Elvy's face suddenly turned ugly. She turned back to the pharmacy, bought most of the potions in the store, went back to her residence to pack her luggage, and quickly left Emerald Town.
In the nail salon, Lu Yao asked Mumu while eating: "Is the guest who made an appointment coming?"
I was a bit impulsive last night and worked on a manicure all night.
She was now exhausted and her mind was in a mess. It would be inappropriate to cancel the customer's appointment. She felt exhausted and worried.
Tina came back from outside with three bottles of potions in her hands. "Intermediate recovery potion, it can eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength."
"Where did it come from?" Lu Yao picked up a bottle curiously. The transparent diamond-shaped glass bottle was 70% full of light red liquid.
Tina explained: "I bought it at the pharmacy across the street. Next time I will make some high-level recovery potions and store them in the store. When the owner is busy, he can drink a bottle and feel refreshed."
Lu Yao opened the bottle, smelled it, and found no strange smell, so he tilted his head back and drank half the bottle.
The taste of the medicine is very light, neither bitter nor sweet, like dew with the smell of grass.
After waiting for a few minutes, the fatigue faded away, my mind became clearer, and even the slightly irritable mood dissipated.
Lu Yao was shocked and drank the whole bottle in one gulp.
The wizarding world is awesome!
-
Carlos left Emerald Town and returned to the Royal Academy of Magic.
When the dean heard the news, he immediately brought people over to inquire about some important matters regarding the centenary celebration of the school.
The high priest did not suddenly return to the magic academy because he missed his alma mater, but because the centenary celebration was of great importance and required his personal supervision.
As a representative of the top students in the third grade, Qiongbei participated in the discussion as a secretary, and her main job was to record the content of the meeting.
The entire meeting process can be summarized as the high priest's "one-man show". The dean asked for instructions on the arrangements for the school anniversary one by one, and the high priest only nodded to indicate his agreement, or shook his head to reject it.
This made it easier to write the minutes, and Jonbe was distracted enough to notice Carlos's manicure in the middle of the process.
!!!
She seemed to see a small red fish swimming on Master Carlos's fingernails. Upon closer inspection, she found that the nails on Master Carlos' two fingers were different colors.
This... Did you go to the nail salon to get your nails painted
Jonbe suddenly remembered that the servants around Master Carlos had asked Audrey about the nail salon two days ago.
She couldn't help but take a closer look and was immediately attracted by this magical manicure. The combination of black, silver and white gold was so advanced, and the design was simple and elegant yet delicate, which did not detract from the high priest's demeanor at all.
Moreover, Lord Carlos has painted the same flower on each of his fingers, but in different postures. What kind of flowers are they
She seemed to have never seen such beautiful flowers growing in the water.
After the meeting, Jonbe organized the minutes, handed them to the teacher in charge, and immediately went to find Audrey.
She couldn't wait to tell Audrey the exciting news that Master Carlos went to the nail salon to get his nails painted.
