In the evening, after seeing off the last guest, Lu Yao stood up, walked to the window, and let out a long breath.
The magic recovery potion was so amazing that she drank two bottles in the morning and was still full of energy when she got off work.
"Mommy, how many guests will we have tomorrow?"
Mumu opened the appointment record book and counted carefully, "Eight, all ordinary appointments, no magic manicure."
Tina leaned against Mumu's side and flipped through the books. "But the next three days are fully booked again, and half of them are students from the magic academy."
Lu Yao turned around and leaned against the windowsill, "It seems to be because of the guest who left this morning."
"What happened to the guest?"
Lu Yao: "I heard from customers that he seems to be a very important person, respected by students. When I returned to the college this morning, students saw me doing my manicure, which invisibly promoted our shop."
"I see." Tina was not very interested in human affairs.
Eugenia was very excited. "That gentleman is called Carlos. I heard he is the high priest of the empire. This is the first time I have seen such a distinguished gentleman."
Harold threw away the comic book and stood up, "Luyao, when do we eat?"
Lu Yao was too busy and did not go back to the snack bar at noon. The waiters had to make do with the pub, and Harold ate a little and then put it down.
Lu Yao had spoiled his stomach and he had become picky about food. He wouldn't eat ordinary meals if they didn't suit his taste. But there were plenty of snacks in the nail salon so he wouldn't go hungry.
Lu Yao remembered that he had not bought the herbs for a long time, so he clapped his hands and suggested: "We get off work early today, why don't we go to the city for a walk? I want to buy some herbs and blank scrolls, and how about having dinner in the city?"
Maybe the recovery potion was still taking effect, she didn't feel tired after being busy all day and really wanted to go out for a walk.
When Harold heard this, Long's eyes widened, but he didn't refuse, obviously wanting to go.
Tina is not interested in the human city, but it would be nice to go for a stroll with the shop owner.
Eugenia was a little hesitant, but everyone wanted to go and she was embarrassed to refuse.
Lu Yao saw that she was in trouble, so he counted out twenty copper coins and said, "If Eugenia has something to do, don't force yourself. This is dinner allowance."
Twenty copper coins in Emerald Town are enough for a day's food expenses for Eugenia's family.
Eugenia looked at Lu Yao gratefully, took the meal allowance, packed up her practice tools and went home.
Mumu stood on the ground at a loss, her big round eyes flashed, and she slowly lowered her head.
When low-level monsters like slimes appear in big cities, they will be driven away by adventurers, magicians, and some powerful monsters.
Harold crossed his arms and glanced at Mumu, "Little Slime can't go to the city, so go home first."
Mumu said aggrievedly: "Ji."
Tina picked up Mumu and glared at Harold, "Can you please stop bullying him all day? Mumu is much more capable than you in the store."
Harold was upset: "..."
Even Tina was bewitched by this little slime.
With tears in her eyes, Mumu looked at Lu Yao pitifully.
Lu Yao thought for a moment, "Can Mumu become a human?"
Slime should have the ability of mimicry, right
Mumu jumped down from Tina's arms, moved in front of Lu Yao, and looked up at her: "Jiji."
Lu Yao: “?”
System: "He wants a strand of your hair."
Lu Yao didn't know what he was going to do, but he still pulled a hair and handed it over.
Mumu took it and put it in his mouth. After a moment, the blue transparent slime collapsed into a pool of water, and then condensed together to become a little boy who looked 90% like Lu Yao.
The only difference is that Mumu's hair, eyes and eyelashes are all ice blue, her facial features are more masculine, and she is wearing an exquisite and well-fitting swallowtail suit.
Lu Yao: “…”
Harold came over and grabbed Mumu, "Change back."
Mumu blinked her round eyes, looked at Harold with an aggrieved expression, and said in a soft and cute voice: "No."
This face looks so much like Lu Yao, and he looks so aggrieved that even Harold couldn't be cruel to him.
The little black dragon was almost mad.
Tina came over to smooth things over: "If you keep making trouble, the sun will set. Let's go out first."
Lu Yao felt a little strange when he first looked at Mumu, but Mumu was so well behaved and looked a lot like her when she was a child, so after looking at her a few more times, she started to like her.
After loading a large bag of gold coins, the two dragons and one slime headed for the teleportation array in the fountain square.
Harold had used up all the scrolls on him, so he went out with the scrolls provided by Tina.
The teleportation array was very fast. Lu Yao was not used to it for the first time and felt very dizzy.
Harold grabbed her hand and held her in his arms.
She closed her eyes to prevent herself from vomiting.
The city of Onoton is a bustling and prosperous city, not only inhabited by ordinary humans, but also by many magicians and monsters.
There are weapon shops run by dwarves, pharmacy shops run by elves, clothing shops run by magicians, and the clothing shops also have magic robes with added attributes... Lu Yao walked along the way and bought a lot of things.
Mumu, Harold and Lu Yao were all interested in everything they saw and would buy things from the street to the end of the street.
Tina was a dragon who had seen the world and had little interest in human things. She only picked up two weapons from the dwarf's weapon shop.
After walking along a long street, they finally arrived at one of their destinations - the West German Herbal Medicine Shop.
When Lu Yao and his group went in, they met someone they knew.
Anne was coming out of the store with Mrs. Sid. Anne saw her first and walked over to her. "Owner, why are you in the city?"
Lu Yao briefly explained his purpose, and Annie smiled as soon as she heard it: "You've come to the right place. There is no other herbal medicine shop in Onoton City that has a more complete variety and quantity than ours."
When Lu Yao saw the name "Xi De Medicine Shop", he thought of Mrs. Xi De, and he was not surprised to hear Anne say so.
Annie, on the other hand, was wearing a blue and white uniform, the same as the uniforms of the magic academy students who came to the store. Lu Yao was a little curious, "Are you going back to school?"
Annie nodded: "In half a month, the college will hold its centennial celebration. His Majesty will be there in person, and all teachers and students will go to greet him."
The academy sent a call, and Anne's wavering mind became firm. Not only did she want to go back, but she also wanted to defeat Zelan and Helena in the academy competition.
After saying goodbye to Annie, Lu Yao bought a large amount of materials from the West German herbal medicine store and then took the store clerk to eat.
The restaurant Annie introduced has authentic dishes that are delicious and inexpensive.
Lu Yao ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to Tina. Everyone ordered a few dishes and they made a big table.
The restaurants in big cities are indeed different. It was the first time that Lu Yao tasted authentic food from another world. The seafood noodle stew was so delicious, and the vegetable soup for dipping bread was also very fresh.
The seasoning and refinement may not be as good as in the real world, but compared to Emerald Town, the freshness and taste of the ingredients are more than one level higher.
Harold was no longer picky about food and ate several bowls of food like a slurping pig.
-
Late at night, Lu Yao was still sorting materials in the store.
During this trip to Onoton City, she bought many blank scrolls, herbs, monster materials, as well as robes, weapons, potions and books, filling up the laboratory.
Lu Yao had to spend his popularity points to expand a material room.
While waiting for the material room to be maintained, she prepared all the materials for the second batch of glue and began to refine it.
The success rate of formula two is much lower than that of formula one. Lu Yao failed after trying it seven or eight times.
With only one material left, she had no hope and was thinking that she would have to go to Onoton City tomorrow to get more materials.
But this time it succeeded.
The black semi-fluid jelly sank into the crucible, emitting a smell of damp and rotting vegetation deep in the forest.
Lu Yao didn't like the smell, so he immediately found a glass jar, poured No. 2 glue into it and sealed it.
She remembered the small print on the glue formula No. 2 - reinforced weapons, shields, and armor to withstand the attack of a giant bone dragon.
Lu Yao was also very curious. Now that he had obtained the glue, he wanted to try it immediately.
Even though it was already very late, she still took out a piece of wearable nail plate, applied a little No. 2 glue on the nail surface, took out a small hammer, placed the nail plate on the pad, and tapped it lightly with the hammer.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of plastic nail plate will break if it is hit by a small hammer.
The hammer fell on the armor, making a crisp "crack" sound.
Lu Yao raised her hand and wanted to check the condition of the nail plate, but her wrist suddenly became lighter and only a piece of wooden hammer handle remained in her hand.
The hammer broke.
Lu Yao: “…”
Could this glue really be able to resist the dragon's attack
I really want to try it.
Harold slept in the lounge. She said she needed to sort out some materials at night, so he took the initiative to stay.
Lu Yao pushed open the lounge door with the nail plate and turned on the incandescent light.
The little black dragon sleeping on the sofa had a blanket draped over him, his long legs bent, one hand on his chest, his black hair soaked with sweat, and his brows furrowed.
This guy slept restlessly, as if he was having a nightmare again.
In the dream, there were two huge bone dragons squatting in front of Harold. They slowly raised their heads, which were only skeletons left, and looked at him deeply with their dark eye sockets.
The sound I heard last time sounded again—
"Harold, Harold—"
"You need to stay away from humans and don't get close."
"They will..."
"Harold, Harold, wake up." Lu Yao sat on the edge of the sofa and gently pushed Harold's arm.
The little black dragon's lips moved and his eyelids trembled slightly.
"Harold, get up quickly and help me." Lu Yao patted Harold's face.
"They will... betray you." The sad voice warned with difficulty.
The little black dragon suddenly woke up, his dark blue eyes filled with fear.
Lu Yao saw that his face looked strange, "What's wrong?"
Harold shook his head, his voice a little hoarse, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare. Is it daybreak?"
Lu Yao poured him a glass of water. Harold took it but didn't drink it. He looked up and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Help me do a test." Lu Yao took out the nail plate coated with No. 2 glue and asked Harold to attack with the dragon claw.
After one claw, the nail was intact without even a scratch.
Lu Yao was surprised, and Harold was also amazed. He waved his claws three times in succession, and the scales finally broke.
"What did you do?" Harold's face looked unhappy.
Lu Yao did not explain in detail, only saying that he was doing new nail art research. He left Harold alone in the lounge and turned around to put the No. 2 glue into the warehouse.
It was late at night, and after finishing her final research, she wanted to rest.
There were complete bathroom facilities in the lounge. Lu Yao took out a set of clean clothes and went in to take a shower.
The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom, and a small patch of warm color shone on the frosted glass.
Harold leaned his head on the sofa, his eyes confused.
He is a giant dragon, and a black dragon with dark attributes.
Even his own people are afraid of him, who can hurt him
Will the human race betray
Of course he knew about this.
Although he is not even a hundred years old, he is also a knowledgeable little dragon who knows a lot of things.
But he doesn't like being with people.
Maybe it really was just a nightmare.
Lu Yao came out of the shower, feeling refreshed, "Harold, can't sleep?"
Harold was stunned. There was a human being here with him.
"You're not going home?"
Lu Yao brought a glass of water and placed it on the table, then brought a blanket and lay down on the two sofas next to the couch. "It's too late. It's not safe to go back. Let's sleep here."
She had been busy for too long, and as soon as she relaxed, she fell asleep almost immediately.
Harold stood up and squatted in front of Lu Yao.
She was really asleep, her thick and long eyelashes were like small fans, covering her lively eyes, making her look even more fragile.
It's not safe to go back, but it's safe to stay with the dragon
Curiosity flashed in Harold's dark blue eyes, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
The little black dragon wanted to wag its tail again.
Lu Yao is not a human.
Lu Yao is Lu Yao.
-
Early in the morning, Lu Yao woke up and Harold was not in the lounge.
She didn't care and got up to wash.
System: [Emergency reminder: The third mission will expire in 72 hours! ]
Lu Yao: !!!
