Chapter 49 The Second Store



Lu Yao was too tired yesterday, so she didn't take it to heart and forgot about it.

She had also done lotus-themed manicures, mostly in blue and white or gold and green colors, with a gentle and generous style, and especially elegant and outstanding when paired with a cheongsam.

But those styles obviously didn't match the suspected clergyman in front of her.

Black and lotus are actually easy to do.

Carlos couldn't see, so Lu Yao verbally told him her idea.

"It's up to you." The customer's tone was casual, giving people the feeling that whether to do a manicure or not, and what it would look like, was actually not very important to him.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and Lu Yao didn't have the extra energy to find out the customer's thoughts, so she didn't say much, picked out the nail polish to use, took out the tools and started working.

When grinding the nails, there was a little problem.

Lu Yao used the sanding strip that she usually gave to ordinary customers to grind Carlos's 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, grinded it once, and it broke again.

Lu Yao tilted her head to look at Harold, hoping that he would give her some hints. Harold

sat next to her, reading comics with his hands on his head, with a plate of snacks in front of him. He would turn a page of the book to pick up a small snack, and there was a drink at hand. He was as comfortable as a primary school student on a spring outing.

Lu Yao sighed, stood up resignedly, took out the dragon-specific black gold nail file, and this time it finally didn't break.

Could this one be a dragon too?

But he didn't ask for sparkling.

Long's love for glitter is like an instinct engraved in his genes, which makes her doubtful.

When thinking about the pattern, Lu Yao came up with an idea that he particularly wanted to try, and asked Carlos if he could do magic manicure.

Carlos nodded and said calmly: "Whatever the owner thinks is appropriate, it's fine."

His expression and tone were too peaceful, and Lu Yao was a little disappointed.

This customer didn't seem to have any special liking for manicures, and she didn't know why he came to the store. It couldn't be just out of curiosity?

Lu Yao thought about it randomly for a while, polished his nails, applied protective nail polish, and began to build the magic circle before he gradually focused.

Inspired by Dominic and Amos, she wanted to try to combine tracing and magic circles, and stack them in multiple layers to see if she could create a dynamic effect.

Drawing on her experience in making dynamic PPTs, Lu Yao used the light attribute magic circle to set a delay, and then used the dark attribute magic circle to continuously destroy the layers and reconstruct them. Countless small magic circles constructed a complete motion curve.

Even though this motion line is not complicated, it takes two hours to make the first nail surface because it requires the stacking of countless magic circles and countless slightly different tracings.

The base color of the nails is pure black, and a few silver lotus leaves and a blooming silver lotus emerge from the corner of the nail. It seems that the wind blows, and the lotus stems and fluffy flowers sway gently, and the ink-colored ripples slowly spread out from under the lotus leaves.

There are only two movements designed for the entire nail surface, the lotus swaying in the wind and the ripples on the water surface, which makes Lu Yao tired.

Unfortunately, the customer can't see it and get no feedback, which makes Lu Yao a little regretful.

After using the magic seal, Lu Yao pinched Carlos's fingers and looked at them for a long time. She really made a moving nail art!

Carlos felt that the owner had not moved for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "Owner?"

Lu Yao came back to his senses: "Huh?"

Carlos was a little helpless: "How

long will it take?" "...Well, one is done." Lu Yao felt a little guilty. This manicure was indeed 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, and Harold's head slowly fell on the table and fell asleep.

Lu Yao was busy and found him halfway, so he got up and took a blanket to cover him, poured water for Carlos, and took some food.

But Carlos didn't touch the food in the store at all, nor did he drink water.

Lu Yao lowered his head and concentrated on his work, hoping to finish this manicure as soon as possible.

The heavy night was lifted by the morning light, and a faint 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 to work.

There were only two nails left, and he could rest after finishing them.

The sun climbed to the top of the mountain, and the dazzling light shone in from the window.

Harold rubbed his eyes and climbed up, and saw Lu Yao still lying on the workbench, with an unbelievable look on his face, "You didn't sleep all night?"

Lu Yao didn't have the energy to talk to him, and there was only one thought in his mind, that there was only one nail left.

When Mumu, Tina and Eugenia came to the store, Lu Yao was finishing the last nail.

The three apprentices gathered around and saw that at the moment the magic was completed, a petal slowly fell from the huge flower branch with gold lines on the static nail surface, floating on the water surface and spreading a circle of ripples.

"It's moving?"

The scene in front of her was incredible. Eugenia got goosebumps all over her body and couldn't help hugging her arms and rubbing them gently.

"Chichi!" Mumu praised Luyao excitedly.

Tina stared at Carlos' fingertips without blinking. Not only the little finger that had just been completed, but the scenery on every nail of this nail art was moving, and each one was different.

This is a pair of nymph nails, and the whole is only available in two colors: black and white and white and gold.

The right hand is in ink style, with white lotus and black background. The landscape, boats and other scenery around the lotus branches are all black, with the only difference being the depth of the smudge.

The silver-white lotus is reflected on 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 boats, they are all based on white, with gold and silver nail polish outlining the shadows and layers. The colors are light and elegant, clear and holy.

Harold also came over to watch the excitement. His eyes suddenly shrank slightly, pointing at Carlos's left ring finger, "Just now there was a fish blowing bubbles."

That was the fifth color hidden in the entire nail surface - orange. A small orange goldfish floated to the surface of the water, blew 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 dark night and opening up the sky.

Tina's eyes were bright as if on fire. She had never seen such a manicure before. It was so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off it, even though it didn't use any gemstones.

If she had stayed in the store, she would have known how the owner made such a manicure.

The shop assistants surrounded Carlos in wonder, 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, picked up his staff and stood up.

He did not bring a guard this time. He came out of the nail salon and walked alone to the teleportation array in the fountain square with his staff.

Female knight Elvy had just finished an escort mission. During the mission, she encountered a large group of monsters. She ran out of recovery medicine and was injured. She came out of the teleportation array and went straight to Lishu's pharmacy. She met Carlos who was walking from the east street.

Elvy's face changed slightly and she stepped aside. Why did the high priest appear in the remote Emerald Town?

Carlos seemed to have sensed something, and his steps paused slightly, and his face turned to Elvy's direction.

Elvy held her breath and dared not speak.

Even if the other party was blind, she dared not be careless.

Because he could not see, Carlos' other senses were more sensitive than ordinary people.

He stood there for a while and 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 medicine for recovery. 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 do a manicure?

Elvy thought this idea was too absurd. Even if His Majesty wanted to come here for a manicure, she would not be surprised.

But if it was Carlos...

Elvy imagined the scene of the serious, indifferent, arrogant and steady high priest looking for Lu Yao to do a manicure, and she felt a chill. This was absolutely impossible!

There was only one possibility, her whereabouts were exposed.

Elvy's face suddenly turned ugly. She turned back to the pharmacy and scanned most of the medicines in the store. She 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 customer who made an appointment coming?" She

was a little impulsive last night and worked all night on a manicure.

She was exhausted now, her mind was dry, and it was not right to cancel the customer's appointment. She was exhausted and worried.

Tina came back from outside with three bottles of medicine in her hand, "Intermediate recovery medicine, which can eliminate fatigue and restore physical strength."

"Where did you get it?" Lu Yao picked up a bottle curiously. The transparent diamond-shaped glass bottle was 70% full of light red liquid medicine.

Tina explained: "I bought it from the drugstore across the street. Next time I will refine some high-level healing potions and store them in the store. When the owner is busy, drink a bottle and you will feel refreshed." Lu Yao

opened the bottle cork, smelled it, and there was no strange smell. He tilted his head back and drank half of the bottle.

The taste of the potion was very light, neither bitter nor sweet, like dew with the smell of grass.

After waiting for a few minutes, the fatigue faded, the mind became clear, and even the slightly irritable mood dissipated.

Lu Yao was shocked and gulped down the whole bottle.

The magic world is awesome!

Carlos left Emerald Town and returned to the Royal Academy of Magic.

When the dean learned the news, he immediately brought people over to inquire about some important matters concerning the centenary celebration.

The high priest did not suddenly return to the magic academy because he missed his alma mater, but because the centennial celebration was of great importance and he needed to supervise it personally.

As a representative of the top students in the third grade, Qiong Bei participated in the discussion as a secretary, and his 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 school celebration one by one, and the high priest only nodded to agree, or shook his head to reject.

In this way, it is easier to write the meeting minutes. Qiong Bei was distracted and noticed Carlos's manicure in the middle.

!!!

She seemed to see a small red fish swimming on Lord Carlos's nails. Looking closely, Lord Carlos's nails were different colors.

This...did he go to the nail salon to dye his nails?

Qiong Bei suddenly remembered that two days ago, the attendant beside Master Carlos had asked Audrey about a nail salon.

She couldn't help but take a closer look and was immediately attracted by this magical manicure. The black, silver and white gold color combination was so high-end, and the design was grand and simple without lacking in details, which did not damage the demeanor of the high priest at all.

Moreover, Master Carlos painted the same kind of flowers on each of his fingers, but in different postures. What kind of flowers were they?

She seemed to have never seen such beautiful flowers growing in the water.

After the meeting, Qiong Bei sorted out the minutes of the meeting, handed them to the teacher in charge, and immediately went to find Audrey.

She couldn't wait to tell Audrey the explosive news that Master Carlos went to the nail salon to dye his nails.
