Black Mountain Wasteland.
Two giant dragons, one gold and one black, were fighting each other, their tails swishing together, shaking the earth.
Harold swung his sharp claws, and the sparkling gems on his fingertips flew out a rainbow-like afterimage.
Si Jin raised his claws to catch it, and the polar crystals on his nails were illuminated by the morning sun, reflecting clusters of golden light, which were brighter than his treasure mountain.
Harold turned around, and the sun had climbed to the top of the mountain. He swung his tail, "It's dawn."
Si Jin put away his claws and added, "Back to work."
The two dragons were freed from the constraints of nail polish and came directly to the wasteland last night. This fight lasted from the dark night to the bright day, and there was still some unfinished business.
But if you don't go to work on time, the scheming slime in the store will keep "chirping" around the owner. Just thinking about that scene makes the dragons angry.
However, flying there in the form of a dragon will save a lot of time. The two dragons flapped their tails and wings and flew slowly to Emerald Town.
When Si Jin and Harold returned to the nail salon, Lu Yao was doing Mu Xin's nails.
Lu Yao didn't even have time to touch her scales. When he opened the door in the morning, he saw her and Mu Mu waiting outside the door.
Mu Xin smiled and said, "I think it's about time to come."
Lu Yao welcomed her in and asked about the style.
Mu Xin's smile deepened, and he shook his head and said, "I have read all the books you sent me. Go is really interesting. I don't plan to change the style, and I would like you to help me find some more chess records."
If he didn't change the style, he would just change the original manicure to magic manicure like Harold and Si Jin.
Lu Yao nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will do the magic manicure for you first. You can pick up the chess records in three days."
The core of magic manicure is the magic circle. The number and arrangement order of magic circles required for each style are different, and they need to be designed separately.
Mu Xin's style is not complicated. Lu Yao made a draft and started working quickly.
About three hours later, Mu Xin's magic manicure was completed.
In appearance, it is no different from the original. The magic circle woven by Lu Yao is very clever. It looks extremely natural, and it is still beautiful, fragile and sparkling.
However, the price is a hundred times more expensive than ordinary manicures, but for a dragon, this is nothing.
Mu Xin quickly walked out of Emerald Town and carefully transformed back into a dragon in a barren mountain.
The magic nails shattered into pieces under the surge of her magic power, and the gems originally attached to the nails fell off one by one. Her heart sank.
However, when she completely turned into a dragon, the broken blocks of color shrank back and evenly and snugly attached to the claws. The fallen gems became larger and fell back to the claws in the original order.
Mu Xin observed for a long time and found that these gems were not glued together with glue, but fixed on the fingers with a special magic array. They would not fall off even if flying or fighting.
A dragon with shiny claws flying in the sky is more eye-catching than anything else.
Mu Xin went back to the dragon's nest and met Dominic who was carrying the little green dragon Shasha for a stroll, Frude who was the father of the little fire dragon Jiajia, Amos who was the brother of the little purple dragon Arnock, and Field who was carrying Tina back to the dragon's nest.
Every time they met a familiar dragon, the dragons' eyes would pass through Mu Xin's claws, and a flash of surprise flashed in the dragon's eyes.
Passing by Mu Xin, Tina leaned over to Field's ear and whispered, "Mom, Teacher Mu Xin must have gone to the nail salon."
Field's flapping frequency slowed down, "Isn't that a store opened by the human race? How can you dye the dragon's nails?"
Tina didn't understand, but she felt that except Lu Yao, no one else could come up with such an idea.
She wanted to go and see, but she was concerned about her nails and it was not easy to paint them in the shape of a dragon. It would take a long time to get from the Dragon's Nest to Emerald Town, so she tried to persuade Field, "Mom, shall we go and see tomorrow? Maybe he is the real owner."
The residents of Emerald Town have recently been discussing the recruitment of apprentices for Luyao Nail Salon. The working hours are from 9 am to 6 pm, two meals are included, and the junior apprentices are paid four silver coins a month. Apprentices must be women under 18 years old, literate, diligent and studious .
Luyao's conditions are very generous. Even though the nail salon has a fierce reputation, many people are interested.
When the shop was closed and reopened, people came to the shop all day to ask if they wanted to be apprentices.
But many people obviously did not meet the requirements. An aunt in her forties or fifties insisted that she was seventeen, an illiterate person pretended to be literate, a little girl with a radical personality stayed at the door and refused to leave, and there was even a man who tried to sneak into the store wearing women's clothes. Lu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She was very determined that apprentices were different from ordinary clerks. She had to train them from scratch and find a diligent, studious and good-natured young lady.
Until the evening, Lu Yao had not recruited an apprentice that suited her.
Another aunt who lied about her age and tried to sneak into the store left swearing, and Lu Yao was ready to close the store.
Si Jin and Harold went out in the afternoon. They went to collect the rare materials that Lu Yao wanted.
Si Jin and Harold were not happy to leave Mum alone in the store. Lu Yao said he would buy a box of instant noodles for each of them, with mixed flavors, and the two reluctantly agreed.
Harold knew about instant noodles from comics, and once Lu Yao brought him a few boxes, he fell in love with them.
When he was eating in the store, Si Jin saw them again and asked Lu Yao for some.
Lu Yao could probably understand. Who didn't like instant noodles when they were a kid?
Instant noodles are simply a delicacy, as long as they don't taste like pickled cabbage.
Only the owner and Mum were left in the store. Lu Yao stood at the door in a daze, still a little worried.
Emerald Town is too small, and it might be difficult to recruit an apprentice that suits her taste.
Mum tugged at Lu Yao's trouser leg, "Ji."
Lu Yao looked down at him, "What's wrong?"
Mum retreated into the store, took off her small suit and folded it neatly.
Lu Yao: "..."
Mumu noticed that Lu Yao had looked away, and once again made a "ji" sound to attract her attention, and then split in front of her.
Literally split, one Mumu became two.
Lu Yao: "..."
Lu Yao was embarrassed and didn't know how to react when someone came to the door.
A young woman with two braids and a few freckles on her face stood at the door, looking a little nervous, "My name is Eugenia, I'm sixteen years old, and I want to apply for an apprenticeship." Lu Yao
hurriedly greeted her, "Come in and sit down first."
Eugenia lives at the end of the long west street. She is the daughter of a tailor shop. She can read and do simple arithmetic.
She worked in the city and recently returned to Emerald Town. She heard that the nail salon was looking for apprentices, so she came here.
Eugenia is the most qualified lady among those who came to apply for the job today, and Lu Yao wants to keep her.
But Eugenia seems to be a little timid. There are monsters in the store. I wonder if she will reject it?
Lu Yao turned around and looked for it. He found the autistic Mumu behind the sofa and pointed it to Eugenia. "This slime is called Mumu, and it is one of the employees. Are you scared?"
Eugenia saw the curled up Mumu. It turned out that this store really has monsters. But if it was just a slime, she would not be afraid.
Remembering other rumors about the owner in the town, Eugenia hesitated for a while, then mustered up the courage to ask: "Owner, I heard there is a dragon in the store, is it true?"
Lu Yao looked firm: "...Ah, no. There are only two very powerful guards in the store, and they went out today for something."
Eugenia breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be gossip spread by people in the town, "I'm not afraid of slimes, I can, I can get along well with it." Lu Yao
was relieved: "Okay, come to the store before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, there will be a seven-day trial period before you officially take up the post. After seven days, if both parties feel it is suitable, we will sign the contract."
Eugenia looked at Lu Yao gratefully: "Thank you, owner."
After leaving the nail salon, Eugenia ran back home quickly.
Eugenia's mother sat on the chair with a numb expression. She moved slightly when she heard the sound at the door, "Eugenia, are you back?"
"Mom, I got the job!" Eugenia walked in with a happy face.
Eugenia's mother, Mrs. Brown, did not relax after hearing this. Instead, the groove between her brows sank deeper. "Are you really not afraid? I heard that the owner of that store is a terrible dark magic witch who also keeps monsters. She recruits apprentices, actually to trick young girls into going to the store and feed her monsters with your flesh and blood."
Eugenia sat down opposite Mrs. Brown and shook her head, "There is indeed a monster in the store, but it's just a Slytherin. "Mm, it's not scary at all. Mom, the owner of that store is nice, young, gentle, and easy to get along with. She also gave me a seven-day trial period. If I feel I can do the job in the store, I can decide to stay. If I'm not suitable, I can leave at any time."
Mrs. Brown wanted to say something, but Eugenia interrupted her in advance: "Mom, there is no better job than this in Emerald Town."
Mrs. Brown stopped talking, but she was still very worried.
She heard a lot of rumors about that store today. The owner only accepted young girls under the age of eighteen, and many people said that the owner had bad intentions.
But Eugenia was not wrong. If you miss this one, you will never find such a well-paid job in Emerald Town.
Ever since Eugenia's father was injured in the mine and was bedridden, their lives have been getting worse day by day.
Eugenia had been working in the city before, but she was always bullied and had to go home in the end. Many neighbors laughed at her.
Mrs. Brown lost her temporary job at the bakery two days ago. Eugenia has three younger brothers and sisters. Without anyone to make money, they will all starve to death.
After convincing Mrs. Brown, Eugenia went back to her room to find clothes.
She wanted to stay in the nail salon, and she must perform well in the next seven days.
Charmander Tina stood outside the nail salon, looking up at the recruitment notice posted on the door, with a gleam in her eyes.
Field stood behind her, a little embarrassed.
After meeting Mu Xin yesterday, she tried her best to pretend that she didn't care, but she flew over with Tina before dawn, and waited for two hours, but the store door still didn't open.
After a while, a blue slime in a tuxedo slowly moved over from one end of the long street.
Field's brows furrowed, "Why is there a slime here?"
Mumu nodded to the dragon and said softly and cutely, "Hello, I'm Mumu, a clerk in the nail salon."
Field was stunned. There were actually humans who hired low-level monsters like slimes as clerks.
No, it was strange that humans would hire monsters.
Also, how could this slime speak?
About a quarter of an hour later, Sikin and Harold came from the Fountain Square, arguing all the way.
They came back on the teleportation scroll, carrying a big bag filled with materials for Lu Yao.
Field first noticed the two people's shiny fingertips.
The sun was rising, and they swung their arms back and forth as they walked, and the gems on their fingers flashed, which was very dazzling.
Harold and Sikin also noticed Field and her daughter, stopped arguing, and stopped at the door of the nail salon.
Tina saw them and noticed the nails at a glance, and took the initiative to speak: "Harold, did you redo your nails?"
The style has not changed, even the position of the gems is exactly the same as before, but a very complex magical aura can be felt.
Harold looked arrogant and shook his hand, "Lu Yao redoed it for me, and it won't break even if the magic power surges."
Tina thought to herself that it was indeed the case, the owner has already figured out a way to dye the dragon's nails.
"Come here so early, change your nails again?" The young dragon left last time and had no chance to come out again, and didn't know that these two dragons had become employees of the nail salon.
Harold shook his head, "No, we came to work."
Tina thought thoughtfully.
When Field heard this, he looked down at the slime on the ground, then at the two dragons over there, and felt an indescribable feeling that he couldn't bear to look directly at it.
The dragons actually worked with slimes, what kind of tragedy of the century is this?
At this time, the door of the store opened from the inside, and Lu Yao saw that the employees were all at the door. He was a little surprised: "Why are you here so early today?"
Tina took the lead and walked up to Lu Yao, "Boss, I'm here to do dragon manicure."
Dragon manicure?
What a strange name.
Lu Yao stepped back and said, "Please come in first."
Noticing that there was a lady in a red dress at the door, who looked somewhat like Tina, Lu Yao guessed that she was Tina's parent and took the initiative to say, "It takes a long time to do magic manicure. If you don't mind, please sit inside."
"Okay." Field raised his chin slightly and walked into the store.
Lu Yao slightly changed the layout of the store last night, adding two rooms in the laboratory, a lounge and a transparent room, to receive customers who want magic manicures.
Tina and Field were led to the special room in the laboratory to wait.
Harold and Si Jin handed the collected materials to Lu Yao, their round eyes full of expectation.
They didn't realize that they looked a bit like Mumu.
Lu Yao took the materials and pointed to the black door and said, "I added a lounge inside. Each of you can have a box of instant noodles. You are allowed to rest for half a day."
Harold and Si Jin were surprised and took the materials in.
When Eugenia came, Lu Yao was about to receive Field and his daughter.
"Manager, I'm sorry, I'm a little late." Eugenia ran in hurriedly, looking embarrassed.
In the morning, the neighbors all knew that she was in the nail salon, and they gathered at the door to persuade her not to come. She
finally got away. Lu Yao called Mumu and said to Eugenia, "I have to receive guests now. You should learn daily work from Mumu first. He is very capable and knows everything. I will find you later."
Mumu performed "Split" for Lu Yao last night, but was not praised. He shut himself up for the whole night.
When he heard Lu Yao praise his ability, he immediately resurrected on the spot, "Jiji!"
He will definitely teach this newcomer well!
Leaving Eugenia and Mumu at a loss, Lu Yao returned to the laboratory, "Sorry for the long wait."
Field hurriedly put down the tablet, restrained his expression, and remained aloof: "It's true that you have waited a long time. Let's get started."
Tina is not going to change to a new style, and she also wants to change the ordinary manicure to magic manicure.
Her flame armor was not very complicated. Lu Yao spent forty minutes designing the sequence of the magic circle, and then began to draw the magic circle.
It was too early for an apprentice to learn magic manicure, and Lu Yao had no plans to let Eugenia try it for the time being.
Field had been looking at Lu Yao with a scrutinizing eye until he saw her alternately using dark magic and light magic to weave a magic circle, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
No wonder this human could do manicures for dragons, her use of magic was so peculiar.
Two hours later, Tina's nails were done.
She couldn't wait to leave Emerald Town, so she immediately injected a little magic power, and one of her hands turned into a dragon claw, with red scales covering her skin and black claw tips.
The nail polish that had just been applied shattered under the pressure of magic, and then slowly recovered. The red flame pattern adhered to the tip of the claw, and as the claws bent and stretched, a faint light pattern appeared.
Tina was excited: "The owner is so amazing, it really won't break when it is transformed!"
Field's eyes fell directly on Tina's claws. The claws were covered with golden and red interlaced flame patterns. Those faint light patterns were sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and they were set against the black claws. It was really beautiful and domineering.
"How about I do it too?" Field said absentmindedly.
After the voice fell, he saw Tina pursed her lips tightly. She seemed to realize what she said. She was a little embarrassed, but she really couldn't help it.
Lu Yao was not surprised at all and asked calmly, "Do you have a favorite style?"
Since she had decided to do a manicure, Field no longer hesitated and directly took out a treasure box and pushed it over, "Flame pattern jewelry manicure, I want to use all the gems in this box."
She had just seen Tina's manicure, which was more delicate when she was in human form, but after she turned into a dragon claw, there were too few gems and it was not glittering enough.
Field's preferences are more traditional. Compared with delicate and complex designs, she prefers rough and simple treasure stacking. The more flashy and luxurious, the more satisfied she will feel.
Lu Yao grabbed the sides of the treasure box and tried to pour out the gems, but found that they were too heavy and could not be lifted.
She simply stood up, but still couldn't lift it: "...This gem is so heavy."
Field: "The Perseus Red Crystal I dug from the depths of the magma contains rich fire magic. This box is less than 500 pounds, is it very heavy?"
Lu Yao: "..."
Less than 500 pounds...
Is it really necessary to stick such a heavy thing on the claws?
How obsessed is the dragon with the glittering crystal?
Lu Yao silently complained in his heart, and cast the "lighten" magic on the Perseus Red Crystal before starting to work normally.
Four hours later, Field took Tina away.
On the way back to the dragon's nest, Tina's eyes occasionally glanced at Field's claws.
On the black claws of her mother, large round pearls were entangled between the red Perseus Red Crystals, and golden stream-like patterns were embedded in the gaps between the gems. Shaking her claws, the lines are like gurgling golden streams, with light and dark interweaving, reflecting dazzling light.
What makes Charmander a little jealous is the light silver on the tip of Field's claws.
When Field maintains her human form, her fingertips are just a thin light silver edge, almost invisible. But when she turns into a dragon, the light silver is like stars condensed on the tips of her claws, shining in a cross shape.
As Field flies along, she will pretend to glance at her claws inadvertently.
She likes the little starlight on the claws the most, which just condenses on the tip of the claws, and will not snatch the light of the Boshi Red Crystal, adding a bit of uniqueness.
Tina felt that her mother was very happy, and thinking of the notice in the nail salon, she was ready to think.
Over Emerald Town, the cyan dragon Dominic and the purple dragon Amos met.
Amos: "We seem to meet each other often these days."
Dominic looked dignified and said seriously: "There are several volcanoes in the south that are about to erupt. I am going to get some Boshi Red Crystal."
Amos was a little surprised that Dominic could explain where he was going.
He smiled and said: "The ice in Cuiyi Lake is about to melt. I am also going to pick up some five-colored stones from the bottom of the lake."
The two dragons exchanged a few insincere greetings and passed each other.
Half an hour later, Dominic, who was going to the south, and Amos, who was going to Cuiyi Lake, met at the door of the nail salon in Emerald Town.
Amos: "..."
Dominic: "..."
In the fountain square, two girls in magic academy uniforms came out of the teleportation array.
The girl with long blond hair stood in the square, looking around blankly, "Audrey, are you sure that store is in this town?"
Audrey nodded: "My cousin is talking about Emerald Town, east - that's the east! Let's go, I think I saw that store."
Amos and Dominic looked at each other awkwardly, neither of them was too embarrassed to step into the store first.
Two students from the magic academy ran over, squeezed between the two, stepped into the door, and shouted loudly: "Owner, we want to do manicures!"
Amos: "..."
Dominic: "..."
