In the laboratory, Lu Yao was discussing the design with Amos.
Amos looked up and saw the blue magic book in Lu Yao's hand, and his purple eyes flashed, "Dominic's book?"
Lu Yao touched the blue cover of the magic book and nodded, "Yes, he lent it to me, and I haven't had time to read it yet."
Amos looked at Lu Yao carefully for the first time. An ordinary human with black hair and snowy skin, he didn't look special. It was very strange that Dominic, who hated humans the most, was willing to lend her his magic notes.
Amos was a purple dragon, in charge of the power of nature - thunder and lightning.
After looking through the styles Lu Yao had made, he said with a burning look, "I want to create a lightning effect on my fingertips. Just move your fingers and lightning will flash on your nails. It must be more dazzling than gems."
Lu Yao: "..."
Although she is well-informed and has designed many novel and unique nail art, this kind of request that is almost "finding faults" is the first time she has heard of it.
Amos looks like a cheerful and cool guy, with a surprisingly meticulous mind. He can see the embarrassment on Lu Yao's frozen face, and points to Dominic's style on the tablet, "You can make a starry sky map like this, so lightning is difficult for you?"
This is not a question of whether it is difficult or not.
It's that kind of... that kind of...
Lu Yao came back to his senses, retracted his divergent thoughts, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and looked at Amos: "I have an idea, if you think it's okay, let's try it?"
Dragons are generally very curious, and when they hear new ideas, Amos immediately expressed his willingness to listen.
Lu Yao took out a notebook and a pen, and quickly drew a conceptual diagram, explaining: "I need your cooperation, and I have to rebuild a magic circle, like this, and then... and then like this, do you think it's okay?"
Amos looked at Lu Yao with a respectful look of "Are you a genius?" The dragon's eyes bulged and nodded repeatedly, "Interesting! How long will it take to make it?"
"Wait a moment." Lu Yao tore up the sketch and drew it again.
It took about three hours to build a brand new magic circle.
Half an hour later, a large dark cloud suddenly gathered above Emerald Town, with lightning, thunder, and strong winds, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to fall.
Two magic academy students who had an appointment for a manicure in the afternoon were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and eating snacks. When they heard the thunder and wind outside, their scalps tingled.
This sounded too scary, as if the roof was about to be lifted off.
Mumu saw that the two were a little scared, so he moved over to comfort them: "Jiji."
The little slime looked soft, cute and harmless, which really had a soothing effect. The two girls felt a little relieved.
It was obvious that a heavy rainstorm was about to fall, and the residents of Emerald Town put away the clothes and bedding hung outside and closed the doors and windows.
Another half hour passed, and the dark clouds dispersed, the sky opened up, and the sun reappeared. There was no sign of rain.
"The dark clouds have dispersed, and the weather has changed so quickly." said a student.
Another student said, "It's just right that it didn't rain. I was afraid that it would rain too hard and I wouldn't be able to go back to school. So when can the owner do our manicures?"
The black door of the laboratory was opened from the inside, and the handsome and tall cool guy Amos came out with his shiny claws raised, and the excitement between his eyebrows could not be suppressed.
Tina and Harold immediately found that Amos's manicure was different from others, and they came closer to watch.
Amos showed it off with his chin held high, "The owner can really do this, it's so interesting!"
When the two students from the magic academy saw the owner coming out, they couldn't wait to get their nails done. When they stood up, they saw Amos's nails, which seemed to have lightning patterns flashing on them, and they couldn't help but be curious.
When they got closer, they saw that the base color of the customer's nails was like dark ink, dark and thick, and at first glance, there was nothing special.
After a few seconds, blue-purple lightning in the shape of tree roots suddenly flashed on the nail surface, illuminating the nail surface. The stacked gray clouds lingered around the fingertips like cotton, heavy and depressing, as if they could hear a rumbling and dull thunder in the next second.
Harold and Tina remembered the heavy dark clouds that had hovered over the town before, and they were the first to react and looked up at Lu Yao.
Fatigue accumulated between Lu Yao's brows, and a glimmer condensed in his dark pupils, and he was obviously a little excited.
She had just shrunk the lightning summoned by Amos and fixed it on his nails with a magic circle. This was probably what Dominic said about the further development of the practicality of magic manicure.
Magic was indeed very interesting. She suddenly had many ideas to combine manicure and magic more closely.
Amos threw down a bag of gold coins and walked out of the nail salon excitedly. He wanted to find someone to fight and show off his freshly done manicure.
Lu Yao turned around and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Sit here. Did you like any styles before?"
Considering that there would be more and more customers in the store, Lu Yao bought two new tablets so that the customers in the laboratory and the front hall could choose styles separately.
The two guests from the magic academy came back to their senses and sat down to discuss with Lu Yao the styles they wanted, their minds still on Amos's manicure.
The manicure of that guest was completely beyond their knowledge of nail polish, there was lightning on the nails, was that magic?
Lu Yao sat aside to rest, Eugenia and Mum sat in front of the workbench to polish the nails of the two guests, and Tina watched from the side.
Tina was a dragon and had great strength, she often broke her nails when practicing, and she didn't dare to start yet. It
was the first time for Eugenia and Mum to receive guests, their techniques were a little rusty, but they were very patient, and the guests did not feel uncomfortable.
Lu Yao looked around and was satisfied, they could already start to do simple nail care for the guests.
After polishing, applying protective nail polish and lighting, Lu Yao began the subsequent design work, while the three apprentices were still watching and learning.
Harold was worried that the same situation would happen in the morning, so he did not stay in the lounge, but lay on the sofa outside to read comics.
Both customers chose cute styles with similar design ideas. Lu Yao worked relatively quickly, and it was almost evening when he finished.
After seeing off the guests and having dinner with the store staff, Lu Yao asked them to go back first.
It was already time to get off work at 6:30 in the evening as agreed with Carlos, so the store staff did not have to work overtime with her.
Mum, Eugenia and Tina left first, and Harold stayed in the store. Lu
Yao sat on the sofa with his chin supported by his hand, "Why don't you go home?"
There were no customers, and Harold lay on the sofa like a boneless person: "I'm a guard."
Si Jin was not there, and there was no one to fight with him.
A dragon returned to the cave where the treasure was hidden, and there was no point in rolling around.
Harold has been a little annoyed recently, and he doesn't seem to like his cave very much.
If Lu Yao's store was not too small, he would have wanted to move the treasures over and live directly in the store.
The little black dragon has been slacking off since he started working, and Lu Yao wanted to make a joke about him, but then someone came into the store.
"Excuse me, is the owner here?" The person who came in was a young lady with long black hair draped behind her back, wearing a dark long skirt with patches.
Lu Yao felt that the visitor looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. He walked over to greet her, "Hello, I'm the owner."
The black-haired lady put on a gentle and harmless smile and said shyly, "Hello, I'm here to apply for an apprenticeship."
"Sorry, the apprenticeships are full and we are not accepting any more for the time being." Lu Yao took back the notice posted on the door yesterday.
She had limited energy and couldn't teach too many people at once.
When Mumu and the other two finished their studies, they would take on new apprentices, and she wouldn't have to worry about it.
The black-haired lady clenched her hands hanging at her side, took a step forward, and pleaded softly, "Owner, I came from a long way away. I walked for a day and a night, my feet are rubbed raw, and I'm sore, tired, and hungry. If I can't be an apprentice, my father will give me to the lord. Can you..."
As she spoke, she moved closer and stretched out her hand to pull Lu Yao.
Harold suddenly stood up, dragged Lu Yao back, raised his hand and waved away the black-haired woman, his nice boyish voice was filled with chill, "Don't touch her."
The witch Cangyuan was pushed away, and she felt angry. She had seen the clerk leave, so how could there be another one?
The black-haired woman was the witch Cangyuan. Her last plan to kill someone and rob the shop failed halfway, but she never gave up.
However, she took another job and left Onorton a few days ago. When she came back, the nail salon's business was much better than before, and there were more clerks, which made it difficult for her to act easily. She
waited in Emerald Town for two days, and came to the nail salon at night, but found that the door of the shop could not be opened from the outside, and she was furious.
Tonight the owner stayed alone in the store with the door wide open. She thought it was a great opportunity, but she ran into Harold.
Her disguise was exposed, and the witch of Cangyuan no longer pretended to be weak. A dark flame condensed in her palm and rushed straight to Harold's face.
Harold, who turned into a human form, had a childish face and looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. He had become even lazier during this period of time in the nail salon. The witch of Cangyuan didn't think she could beat him.
The attack power of dark magic is extremely strong. If the boy gets a little spark, his body will immediately burn, and he will probably roll over in pain.
There is no chance to turn back now that the fight has been started.
The witch of Cangyuan simply hardened her heart and killed the clerk first, and then dealt with the troublesome light magician shop owner.
Harold snorted coldly, raised his hand to receive the palm, and tightly grasped the opponent's wrist. A purer dark flame ignited in the palm of his hand.
The Witch of Cangyuan screamed with horror in her eyes. Is this boy also a dark magician?
"Kala La--"
The sound of the broken bones in the hand made people's scalps numb. The black flames burned the flesh and blood. The place where the Witch of Cangyuan was held gradually sank inward, revealing the white bones. She was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound.
Harold frowned, carried her out of the nail salon with one hand, and turned into a dragon and flew out of Emerald Town. When
the Witch of Cangyuan saw the real body of the dragon, she was directly scared and fainted.
There was only Lu Yao left in the store. The sudden change just now was too fast, and she didn't react.
System: [Showy and stupid robbers, arrogant nobles, greedy and vicious witches... I always feel that this store is not as peaceful as a snack bar. ]
Lu Yao looked at the door and said in a low voice: "The Dreamland is the world of the dead. After death, most of the desires dissipate, leaving only the purest thoughts. In the world of the living, whether in another world or this world, for humans or other creatures, the forms of desire will be much more complicated. It is not strange that creatures are driven by desire to take actions."
After waiting for a while, Harold came back from outside, avoiding Lu Yao's sight, with a slightly unnatural look on his face.
Seeing that the witch secretly condensed flames on her fingertips to touch Lu Yao, he was really a little angry, and did not show any mercy.
Would she be afraid?
Lu Yao didn't know what was wrong with Harold all of a sudden, so she walked over and pulled his hand away, carefully checking, "Are you injured?"
She saw the black flames burning through the witch's flesh and blood, and Harold's hand was completely wrapped in flames.
Harold secretly glanced at Lu Yao, her eyes were dark and clear, without any disgust, but a hint of slight worry.
The little black dragon wanted to shake its tail, but after moving its body, it remembered that it had no tail after turning into a human form.
He blinked and whispered, "I'm very strong. I won't be hurt."
Lu Yao touched his hand and made sure there were no superficial injuries before he felt relieved. He casually asked, "Where did you take her?"
Harold's blue eyes sparkled and his chin raised, "Throw her into the poisonous gas swamp."
Lu Yao nodded, "I'm glad you're okay. I'm waiting for the customer to come. It will be very late when I'm done. You go back first. There won't be anything else to do today."
Harold shook his head, looking proud, "Without me as a guard, you can't run the store by yourself."
Lu Yao: "..."
This guy is getting cocky!
Fortunately, Carlos was on time and didn't make them wait any longer.
The young man in silver robe held a magic wand and knocked on the door twice, attracting the two people to look over, and then walked in slowly, "Shopkeeper."
Lu Yao stood up, "Hello, sit here."
The young man closed his eyes, and Lu Yao couldn't pass the tablet over, so he asked him what style he liked.
Carlos looked calm: "I told the shopkeeper yesterday." Lu Yao
: "?"
Oops, I have no impression at all.
Carlos seemed to sigh and said: "I like black and lotus."
