Chapter 45 The Second Store



Freud led Kaka out of the nail salon, avoiding two reckless magic academy students. Seeing Dominic and Amos standing stiffly at the door, a smile appeared on his handsome face, "You are here too." Dominic and

Amos sneaked into the nail salon and thought that this was the most embarrassing moment in their lives. Unexpectedly, 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 are very burdened.

Seeing the two of his people look unhappy, he kindly explained, "I brought Jiajia here to get a manicure and a magic manicure. The owner only accepts three orders for magic manicures a day. I made an appointment for tomorrow and came with Cecil. If you two want to do it, it's best to make an appointment now. There is only one spot left for tomorrow, and the next appointment will be the day after tomorrow."

Only one spot left?

Sometimes, things that are snatched up are delicious.

Even if the appointment is made the day after tomorrow, it will feel like a loss.

The dragon with a strong sense of victory and defeat did not care about the embarrassment just now and immediately moved.

Audrey and Jonbe came at a very suitable time. Lu Yao had just received the fire dragon and his son, so he had time to do two ordinary manicures and take Eugenia with him.

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, very cute, and there were white flowers painted on them, which was completely different from the effect of dyeing with mist liquid.

She asked her cousin and learned about the existence of Luyao Nail Salon. When she returned to school, she couldn't wait to invite her good friends to come over.

Qiongbei can be said to be a top student in the magic academy. She usually stays 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, making it impossible for her to concentrate on her studies, she would not have agreed to come to such a remote town to do a manicure.

When she came here, she used up a high-level transmission shaft, and she would have to use another one when she returned. Qiongbei felt painful just thinking about it.

Qiong Bei secretly warned himself in his heart that he was just accompanying Audrey here, and at most he could get the cheapest manicure to experience it, and he must not invest too much in such an ineffective thing.

Audrey has been preaching these days about "how beautiful manicures are", and Qiong Bei already has a concept of the word "manicure", which is nail dyeing.

Mumu led the two to sit down and went to pour tea.

Qiong Bei secretly poked Audrey, "Why is it a slime reception? Is there really nothing wrong with this store?"

Audrey didn't know about this, but she was open-minded and didn't mind at all: "Slimes are wearing clothes, I think it's very cute."

Qiong Bei: "...Is that what I mean?"

Lu Yao was talking to Eugenia and talked about some requirements for apprentices.

In addition to doing chores and receiving guests with Mumu, Eugenia also has to learn how to do nail care for guests, learn how to do 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 quite smart and knew to follow Lu Yao.

Lu Yao handed the tablet over, "These are all the styles that can be made in the store. You two can take a look first. Those who decide on the good ones can be made first."

Audrey and Jonbe took the tablet, and Mumu taught them how to use it. The soft and cute Shotaune did not have the rough and stupid feeling of a monster. The blue 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 followed Mum to learn 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 Mum demonstrated, she slid her claws up, turned to the first picture, clicked it, and then kept silent.

Jonbe was shocked to see that the first picture of nail care cost eighty-eight copper coins.

This manicure looked like nothing had been done, but it cost eighty-eight copper coins. Did she enter a shady shop?

Audrey just took a quick glance and saw several styles she liked. She didn't pay attention to the first picture at all. She just glanced at it casually and turned to the back.

Jonbe was more and more shocked. Nail care was the cheapest service in the store. Styles with a little pattern cost one hundred and eighty-eight copper coins. The more you turn to the back, the more expensive it is.

At this time, Dominic and Amos walked in.

They 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 should be more mature after all. They just fought with their eyes and did not quarrel.

Qiong Bei and Audrey were impressed by the momentum of the two people. They were surprised that a man came to make an appointment for a manicure.

And what is magic manicure?

Lu Yao took out a small notebook from the drawer and wrote down the number, "Tomorrow is full. When are you two free the day after tomorrow?"

Dominic was slightly out of control: "How can it be full? Aren't there three places a day?"

Amos also stared at the owner closely.

Lu Yao nodded affirmatively: "Indeed, it is fully booked. A lady came to make an appointment at noon."

Suddenly, they lost their competitive goal. There was no need to compete for the first and last appointment on the same day.

Dominic made an appointment in the morning, and Amos made an appointment in the afternoon.

Lu Yao wrote down the information and said casually: "A deposit of 200 gold coins is required for a magic manicure appointment."

Both dragons are adults, and they have many treasures. A

mere 200 gold coins is nothing to them. Audrey and Jonbe were surprised and looked down at the price on the tablet. Most styles are within five silver coins, and the most expensive ones are no more than five gold coins.

So, what kind of manicure is it for two hundred gold coins?

Joan Bey was speechless because she thought the price was too high and she might have entered a shady shop.

Eugenia was also shocked.

She used to work as a low-level maid in the city, getting up early and going to bed late every day, doing a lot of physical work, and she earned one silver coin a month.

But in the nail salon, she only had to receive customers, clean the shop, and learn nail art from the owner, and she could earn four silver coins a month.

Eugenia was actually lingering with uneasiness in her heart. Thinking back to what her mother and neighbors said, she almost ran away.

She suddenly realized that the owner's generous salary was not out of conspiracy, but because he really wanted to take in an apprentice.

She once again determined to listen carefully to the owner's ideas and strive to stay in the nail salon.

After the dragon customer paid the deposit and left, Lu Yao looked at the other two customers with a gentle attitude: "Do you have a style you like?"

Audrey raised her hand first and pointed to Lu Yao, "I like this style. Can the kitten be replaced with a magic pet? I have an Audrey hamster."

After listening to Audrey's description of the characteristics of pets, Lu Yao began to work.

The first step was still to sharpen the nails. Before the action, she glanced at Eugenia.

Eugenia understood, her eyes were sharp, and she was ready to learn well. Mumu also squeezed over secretly.

Audrey chose a cute manicure with a light cherry color and transparent heart-shaped diamonds. Two of the fingers were designed with a cat pattern at the end, which was very suitable for her age.

Lu Yao replaced the cat with Audrey's hamster, deliberately drawing it rounder, with a hamster nest like a white ball of fur on the fingertips, and a piece of light pink petals falling on its head, which was cute and freehand.

Eugenia was still in a learning mentality at first, thinking that she must learn the owner's technique as soon as possible, but then she gradually forgot about it.

It's so beautiful.

Obviously, the place to play is only as small as the fingertips, but in the hands of the owner, it seems like a huge canvas for her to splash freely. With just a few strokes, she can draw a landscape that touches the girl's heart.

Eugenia was a little excited. Will she work like this in the future?

That would be so happy.

Lu Yao brought out a stack of boxes of small diamonds, which made her feel like she was in another world.

She had used real diamonds and real treasures so many times, and hadn't used these simple small diamonds for a long time. She still felt familiar when she opened them.

Audrey was dazzled by the glitter. She picked more than ten pieces in a row and asked Lu Yao to stick them all on her.

She picked too many, so Lu Yao finally persuaded her and took back half of them.

Daily manicures are tacky if they are too gorgeous. Only appropriateness is the most beautiful.

Seeing Lu Yao stop the excited Audrey, Qiong Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She also picked a style, which was the blush nail that the elf had chosen. It's

just that she doesn't like Boye grass, so she asked Lu Yao to paint Night Bells - a kind of herb that blooms small white bell-shaped flowers, which can calm the mind and make people peaceful.

The price of this style is 288 copper coins, which is far beyond Qiongbei's budget, but it is really beautiful.

Anyway, she came to experience it, so instead of making a low-priced one that she doesn't like, she might as well increase the price and make the style she likes the most.

Qiongbei went all out, and even Audrey was surprised.

Lu Yao took a look at the style and said that he could do it, while making the final sealing layer for Audrey.

She drew the magic circle skillfully, and Qiongbei's eyes flashed: "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 Onorton today.

Before leaving, she wanted to see Lu Yao again.

Anne paused when she walked into the nail salon .

Audrey had already finished her manicure and stood up to make room. When she looked up, she saw Anne. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "Annie Sidlevis? Why are you here?"

Jonbe heard the familiar name and turned around immediately, "Annie, it's really you!"

"Why are you?" Anne's face was not good, and she turned around and wanted to leave.

Audrey, Jonbe and Anne were classmates, and Jonbe and Anne were classmates.

The two were once known as the twin geniuses at the Royal Academy of Magic, but one was a hard-working genius, and the other was a genius with outstanding talent.

Audrey and Jonbe were childhood friends, and Jonbe often mentioned Annie, but the two had never met before.

Audrey stopped Annie, "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, and she vowed to defeat you at the centennial celebration and win the 'Silver Rose' medal."

Her?

Annie wanted to sneer, and something flashed through her mind.

Helena was obviously already with Zelan, and she left the academy as she wished, why did she say such a thing?

Is it a trap?

Qiong Bei didn't even do his nails and walked up to Annie, "Are you really not going back to the academy?"

Annie was silent.

Qiong Bei's eyes were full of 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 he, Zelan Rui? Is he worth wasting your life like this?"

Annie was speechless, and finally chose to say nothing, pushed Qiong Bei away, turned around and left.

The atmosphere in the store became depressing. Qiong Bei stood there for a long time, turned around and apologized to Lu Yao, "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, 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 have to do it if he didn't feel like it, and he didn't have to pay before he started. But Qiong Bei dropped his wallet and ran away.

Audrey hurriedly paid the bill and chased after Jonbe with his wallet.

The bustling store suddenly became quiet. Perhaps the change was too fast. Mum and Eugenia were a little confused. Harold and Sikin opened the black door and walked out of the laboratory.

"Luyao, is it time to eat?" Harold's voice was hoarse from just waking up.

Luyao stood up: "Well, you wait for me, I'll go buy food."

The door of the store opened and closed again, and Eugenia's pupils shrank slightly.

Was it an illusion?

Just now, the street outside the store did not seem to be the street of Emerald Town.

Sijin and Harold had never met Eugenia before. They walked to the sofa and sat down. They did not talk to Eugenia, but looked at Mumu and asked, "Who is this?"

Mumu bulged her big watery eyes and answered politely and innocently, "Ji?"

Harold: "..."

Audrey and Qiongbei used the teleportation scroll to return to the capital of the Empire, Braibis City, and then took a carriage from the square back to the academy.

They got off at the gate of the magic academy and suddenly saw a red carpet at the main entrance, extending all the way to the school. The head dean and all the teachers stood at the door, as if waiting to greet some important person.

Qiongbei was still in a bad mood and was about to go in through the side door. Audrey held her back and whispered, "I have a feeling that the head dean and the teachers are waiting for Master Carlos."

Qiongbei was surprised and asked in a low voice, "How do you know? Master Carlos is so busy, why is he coming to the academy at this time?"

Carlos, the first great magician of light in the empire, is also the high priest of the empire. He was once a student of 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 welcome him, besides His Majesty, is 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 the stone statue on the side of the main entrance and carefully poked their heads out.

The carriage door opened, and the servants stood respectfully on both sides.

A young man with silver hair holding a staff slowly got off the carriage.

He was wearing a silver-white robe inlaid with gold, and his silver hair reached his waist and was tied behind his body with a golden headband.

But for some reason, his eyes were closed and he never opened them after getting off the car.

But he didn't walk timidly. When the dean stepped forward to salute, he also stopped in time, as if he had sensed something.

The silver-haired young man was welcomed into the academy by everyone, and even his back could not be seen. Audrey stretched her head to look, her eyes and tone were full of excitement, "Am I right? It's Lord Carlos. You are worthy of being the silver rose of the empire, so beautiful that I can't breathe."

Qiong Bei was also a little absent-minded. The distance was a bit far, and they couldn't see the appearance of the high priest clearly.

Moreover, he had his eyes closed, but the aura lingering around him was like holy light, soft and stable, making people unconsciously want to rely on him.
