The closer Helena got, the more she saw Harold's face, and the more certain she was that he was the black dragon that was predicted to destroy the world.
The bone bracelet on her wrist was hot, and the black mist almost enveloped the entire bracelet. It was a kind of resonance.
In the past, Alia had used up all her strength to change his fate.
Later, she peeked at Alia's prophecy crystal, and the black dragon would meet his destined person when he was nearly a hundred years old.
Before that, he was expelled by the dragon clan, lived alone in the wilderness, was tyrannical and unpredictable, and was an evil black dragon from head to toe.
Unfortunately, he was discovered by Alia at the time, and she hurriedly escaped, and was unable to see the destined person of the black dragon that destroyed the world.
Drex hid the young dragon again under the backlash of the contract.
As a result, Jinkelai has not found any trace of the black dragon in the past few decades.
Helena stroked the bone bracelet under her sleeve, her eyes full of ambition.
The dragon clan is powerful and despises everything in the world.
Adult powerful dragons are not easy to provoke, but young dragons like this are the most innocent.
She remembered a scene in the prophecy, the sun was setting, and the black dragon was squatting alone on the edge of the cliff, looking into the distance, his back was lonely and lonely.
He lost his parents at a young age and was not accepted by his tribe. He must be lonely and sensitive in his heart.
Helena walked in front of Harold, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a gentle smile.
She would take a step ahead, become the destined person of this black dragon, and make a contract with him.
Harold handed a flyer to the woman who suddenly blocked his way, and then turned around to stop the passing students from the magic academy.
Based on his experience this afternoon, these students were most willing to receive flyers.
He was a little annoyed and wanted to hand out the flyers quickly and go back.
Helena's eyes twitched slightly, and she took the flyer casually, walked around to Harold again, and tried to exude a gentle demeanor: "Hello, do you need help?"
Harold frowned, this human was very strange.
But she offered to help, and if she handed out the flyers in advance, she could go back earlier.
He nodded slightly, picked up a stack of flyers from the ground and gave them to her, admonishing her: "Give them to people passing by, and be sweet-mouthed, so that they will accept them."
Helena smiled gently and gracefully, followed Harold in small steps, and while distributing flyers, she tried to strike up a conversation: "My name is Helena, and I study at the Royal School of Magic. What's your name?"
Harold imitated the way Lu Yao usually scolded him, and said sternly: "Don't talk while you're working."
Helena looked at the young man's elegant and straight back and stamped her feet.
No matter how old a dragon is, they are all so ignorant of romance.
About an hour later, all 2,000 flyers were distributed.
Harold clapped his hands, and a great sense of accomplishment rose in his heart.
Turning around and seeing Helena still there, he took out a gold coin from his pocket and said, "Remuneration."
Little Black Dragon was not short of money, but he gradually had a concept of money after working.
His monthly salary was only three gold coins, and because he had no silver or copper coins, he took out a gold coin to pay the helper.
Helena was a little surprised. This young dragon seemed to understand a little bit of the ways of the world.
In order to talk to him for a while longer, she did not take the money, lowered her head and shyly asked to have a meal with him.
Little Black Dragon casually threw the gold coin to her and said in a cold voice: "I want to go home."
Lu Yao said that you should go home after distributing flyers and don't go with strangers casually.
"..."
Helena stood there, watching the back of the black dragon disappear into the crowd quickly and could no longer be seen.
She lowered her head and took out the flyer that Harold had first handed to her from her handbag. She quickly skimmed through the unimportant content and saw the words "Luyao Nail Salon" at the end. She gritted her teeth.
It was that shop!
Emerald Town, nail salon.
Three apprentices were trimming nails for customers.
These three customers had been working all year round, and there were rough cords on their fingers, irregular nails, and nail beds wrapped around their nails, which needed careful trimming.
The three ladies saw the apprentices take out sharp knives and their eyes widened.
Mrs. Brown was the most nervous, and her fingers unconsciously retracted.
Eugenia raised her head and soothed helplessly: "Mom, don't be nervous, it won't hurt. I just want to help you make your nails prettier."
Mrs. Brown tried to suppress her fear and let out a breath, "Well, I'm not nervous. Go ahead."
After a while, the three ladies found that it really didn't hurt, and they were completely relieved.
After trimming the fingers, wiping them with alcohol cotton pads to disinfect them, applying nail polish and then turning on the light, the apprentices began to communicate with the customers about the style and details of the nail art.
Mrs. Grote from the bakery chose to do a stamp manicure from the beginning. Tina took out the silicone sample and discussed the base color and pattern with her.
Mrs. Grote likes small and complicated flower branches. She was wearing a floral dress today. After looking around, she chose two patterns.
Mrs. Krimer from the fruit shop likes both the solid color and the single color smudge, and can't make up her mind to choose one.
Mumu suggested trying both styles, which would give her a more intuitive feel.
Mrs. Krimer nodded in surprise: "Thank you."
The slime was gentle, not at all rude like a low-level monster. The claws were stable when dyeing the nails, and it didn't make her feel uncomfortable. Mrs. Krimer liked this slime a little.
Lu Yao observed from the side, and the performance of the dragon and the slime was unexpected.
When receiving guests, there was no communication misunderstanding due to racial differences, which was really interesting.
Eugenia's personality is much more reserved than the dragon and the slime.
Mrs. Brown chose the solid color model, and Lu Yao stood behind her and watched for a while.
When she was really devoted to her work, Eugenia was very serious, exuding a rare vitality, with a gentle attitude and steady hands.
Lu Yao was very satisfied that the three apprentices had learned well in such a short time.
Harold returned to the nail salon. His three colleagues were still being assessed. He went to the manager, "Lu Yao, I'm back."
Lu Yao looked him up and down, "How do you feel? Are you tired?"
Harold wanted to take credit and act coquettishly, but at this time, there were still so many people in the store. The dragon couldn't let go of his status. He drank two glasses of water and walked to the sofa to sit down in a steady manner: "Not bad." Lu Yao
came over and patted his shoulder, praising him: "You are very good today!"
The little black dragon's dark blue eyes lit up, and he turned his head to glance at Mumu.
Mumu was concentrating on receiving guests and didn't see the implied boastful look. Lu Yao
set the assessment time to three hours, and Tina had completed it in less than two hours.
Tina listened to Mrs. Grote's request and made two seal pattern nails. The white small floral wreath and the diagonal checkered pattern were printed on the light blue base oil, which was fresh and lovely.
The other three were made into a darker and lighter pure color respectively. A white French border was made on the ring finger, and then embellished with a delicate bow crystal accessory.
Finally, a magic circle was used to seal the layer, so there is no need to worry about it falling off during normal work.
Mrs. Grote stretched out her fingers and smiled so hard that her eyes could not be seen. She
was busy baking and selling bread every day. She had to squat in front of the oven early in the morning, and then receive guests after baking bread. Mrs. Grote had not relaxed like this for a long time.
She squinted her eyes and changed the angle to appreciate her manicure. The light blue color made people feel bright, and the tiny flowers on the nails became more and more lovely. "This manicure is so beautiful, I like it so much."
Tina packed up the tools, her fiery red eyes curved, her expression restrained, but in fact she was also very excited.
It was a great sense of accomplishment to receive good reviews for the first time I did manicure for a customer.
Mumu finished the second one.
Mrs. Crimson made red nylon nails. The middle and pinky fingers of her left hand were pure dark red, and the thumb, thumb and ring finger were smudged with the same color. The right hand was the opposite, with a mixture of dark and light colors, which was both casual and exquisite.
Mrs. Crimson stretched out her ten fingers, and the curve of her mouth corners became higher and higher. "This is so beautiful! The combination of pure color and smudged color is not dull at all. I still don't know which one to choose next time. They are all so beautiful. Mum's craftsmanship is also great!"
Mum blinked her round eyes, "Ji."
Eugenia finally finished, and Mrs. Brown made a set of green cat-eye nails.
The transparent dark green base color is superimposed with silver cat-eye nail polish, and a shallow arc of light is sucked out at the edge with a magnet, which is simple and advanced.
This is Mrs. Brown's first time to dye her nails.
The fact that her daughter dyed her nails was enough to make her happy, and the result was beyond her imagination.
She bent her fingers, palms up, and carefully observed the sequins on her fingertips floating under the light. Her brows relaxed, and her eyes lit up. She murmured to herself, "This is so beautiful. Be careful when pinching needles and cooking tomorrow, don't scratch it."
Eugenia didn't know magic, so she asked Mum to help Mrs. Brown with a magic seal.
"Mom, after using the magic seal, you don't have to worry about it falling off." Eugenia explained.
Mrs. Brown looked down at her fingers and finally couldn't help laughing, "This is so convenient." Lu Yao
looked at the three ladies' manicures one by one, gave them nail polish remover paper, and casually mentioned that there would be an event in the store tomorrow.
When Mrs. Grote left, she asked Lu Yao for a flyer for the event. Mrs. Krimer and Mrs. Brown also asked for one.
Lu Yao walked to the door and watched them leave.
In the store, three apprentices sat at their workbenches, looking a little nervous. Lu
Yao walked in, clapped his hands, and said with a relaxed expression, "You have made great progress. All three works are very good."
Tina, Mumu and Eugenia's eyes sparkled. The manager's affirmation was more powerful than any praise for them.
Lu Yao took out three flyers and pushed them over, continuing, "You all passed the preliminary assessment. There will be an event in the store tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You will be responsible for receiving the guests who come. For each guest received, one-tenth of the income will be included in your salary."
Tina and Mumu were not very sensitive to salary performance, but both showed a very positive attitude towards this event.
After receiving Mrs. Grote, Tina felt that she had made obvious progress, and she wanted to further improve her nail art skills.
As long as she could help the store owner, Mumu was very positive in doing anything.
Eugenia heard that there would be commission rewards, plus a fixed salary of four silver coins per month, and she was very motivated just thinking about it.
After the small meeting to mobilize the event, Lu Yao went to the snack bar to bring back a box lunch to solve the problem of dinner.
In the evening, Eugenia returned home.
Mrs. Brown came out to greet her. The long-standing sadness on her face finally dissipated. "Eugenia, you're home."
Eugenia carried a small paper box and handed it to Mrs. Brown. "Mom, here are the snacks left over from dinner. Share them at home tomorrow. Nick and Sissi will definitely like them." Mrs.
Brown opened it and took a look. She went to the kitchen to get a knife and divided it into five portions. She put one portion on a small plate and handed it to Eugenia. "We'll all eat it, and you can't be left out."
Eugenia smiled and said, "Then save it for me tomorrow morning. I really can't eat it today."
The mother and daughter sat down to chat. Eugenia talked about the activities in the store tomorrow.
When Mrs. Brown heard that she would get a commission for entertaining guests, she immediately said, "I'll talk to the neighbors tomorrow."
Eugenia didn't expect her dull mother to be so lively, and couldn't help laughing, "Can you really convince them?"
Mrs. Brown held out her hand and said with a smile, "No need to say anything, as long as they see my nails, they will definitely ask."
At four o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Grote and her husband would get up to bake bread.
At six o'clock in the morning, trays of fresh bread came out of the oven, and workers who were going to work in the mines would come to buy the cheapest black bread.
Later, housewives who were buying vegetables would also come to patronize and buy some mixed grain bread with soup.
Mrs. Grote wore a dark blue floral dress, a beige gown tucked into the skirt, and a thick apron. When she greeted the guests, her eyes were full of smiles, as if she had encountered something particularly happy early in the morning. A familiar
lady asked her what good thing had happened to her, and Mrs. Grote raised her hand inadvertently. The lady's eyes were fixed on her, "Where did you paint your nails? They are so beautiful, no wonder you are in a good mood."
Mrs. Grote smiled, "Yes, I went to the nail salon across the street last night, it's not bad, right?"
When the lady heard about the nail salon, her smile faded a bit, and she lowered her voice, "Which shop did you go to? You must be joking."
Mrs. Grote put down the bread plate and said nonchalantly, "Well, that shop is a nail salon. Although there is a slime in the shop, he has a gentle personality and can dye nails. Several of us ladies went to get our nails done last night and nothing happened. Look at my nails, they are so beautiful."
The ladies who were buying bread gathered together, and Mrs. Grote mentioned that the nail salon had a recent event, 10% off to try nail dyeing.
The ladies didn't understand what "10% off" meant, so Mrs. Grote took out the flyer and explained it again according to Lu Yao's words, which made some people interested.
At around seven o'clock, the fruit shop also opened.
Customers who were buying vegetables saw Mrs. Krimer tidying up the fruit stall and inadvertently noticed that her hand holding an apple, her fingertips were more delicate and beautiful than the apple.
As they talked about this, the topic among the women in the morning was almost entirely about "Luyao Nail Salon" and the 10% off experience event.
When the nail salon opened, there were already people lining up at the door.
The staff came to the store one after another and began to receive customers.
As usual, Mumu split into two, receiving customers waiting in line while doing nails for them.
The slime form moved slowly, and he simply transformed into the appearance it had when it went out last time.
The little boy who looked 90% like the owner instantly won the favor of the customers.
Harold snorted lightly, feeling very unhappy.
The customer who had originally made an appointment with Luyao heard about the event and temporarily canceled the customized nail art, and also experienced the 10% off event.
Luyao was faster than an apprentice in doing this simpler style.
After receiving the guests who had made appointments in the morning, he also received several individual customers.
At noon, Si Jin came back with two large boxes.
Everyone in the store was busy and no one noticed.
He quietly moved the two boxes into the lounge, came out to say hello to Lu Yao, and went to play with Harold.
The lounge was full of customers waiting to have their manicures done. Two guards brought blue plastic stools and sat in the corner, with nothing to do.
Helena came to the nail salon with two teams of knights and two royal magicians. Seeing that there were many people queuing at the door, she asked the knight captain to lead the team to surround the nail salon, and she led the two magicians into the store.
Seeing the emblem of the Royal Knights, the people queuing outside the door silently dispersed, with suspicion in their eyes.
When Helena walked in and saw Harold, her eyes rolled and she walked over with a feather fan lightly waving, "It's you!"
Harold looked puzzled: "?"
Helena tried to show her surprise of meeting you by chance, "Don't you remember? I helped you distribute flyers yesterday."
Harold remembered, his expression and attitude didn't change much: "Oh."
"...I'm here to do a manicure. Do you have any recommendations for any styles?" Helena suppressed her temper and racked her brains to find a topic.
Without waiting for Harold to speak, Si Jin glanced at Helena and said with a half-smile, "This guest, you cut in line, please go outside and line up again."
The silver-robed magician next to Helena came out, glanced around the store with his eyes slanted, and raised his chin slightly, "Miss Helena is here in person, why doesn't the owner come out to greet her?"
The guests in the store were already scared when they saw the silver-robed magician, and they were even more worried when they were swept by his contemptuous eyes.
Some people wanted to leave, but when they walked to the door, they found that they were surrounded by knights outside. They retreated with bitter faces, regretting that they should not have come to the store to join in the fun, and they didn't know how this store would offend the nobles.
Helena gently waved her feather fan and looked at Lu Yao not far away with a smile.
Last time she came here, she only brought knights with her and made a big fool of herself.
This time, she begged His Majesty to bring two royal light magicians who are the best at restraining the dark attribute of the black dragon.
This honor was given by His Majesty, and it is also the honor that Jinklai deserves.
She must first subdue the owner of this strange shop, leaving the black dragon with no place to stay, and then she will reach out to save it.
The means may be a little rough, but Helena has been like this for many years and doesn't think there is anything wrong.
The store suddenly became quiet, Lu Yao stopped, and saw Helena, a little puzzled.
Isn't this the same person from last time?
Tina saw that Lu Yao was out of shape, and quickly explained a few sentences.
The silver-robed magician also noticed Lu Yao and looked over with a cold face, "Are you the owner? Why don't you get up and greet them!"
Lu Yao didn't answer, but glanced at Harold and Si Jin, and said helplessly: "If you two watch the show again, your wages will be deducted, and you are not allowed to enter the lounge during working hours."
!!!
Deducting wages is fine.
You are not allowed to enter the lounge during working hours?
Too scary!
Si Jin and Harold stood up immediately, their dragon eyes raised, revealing a fierce look.
The two light magicians felt something was wrong. The auras emitted by these two men were extremely unpredictable, and they were not ordinary monsters.
Si Jin grabbed the magician who had just asked the owner to welcome him in person, his five fingers turned into dragon claws, his pupils were golden, and his breath was full of oppression: "Magician, tell me, what is Helena that requires the owner to welcome her in person?"
Even we, the dragons, are polite to the owner.
Where did this pheasant come from, and dare to be so arrogant?
A little golden scale appeared under Si Jin's eyes, and the magician's pupils widened. He didn't expect to meet a dragon in such a country shop.
A hundred years ago, the Jinkelai family signed a contract with the dragon and drove the dragon to the battlefield, which made the empire dominate the Alexandria continent in a short time.
But since then, there have been few dragons in the empire.
It's funny to say that this was the first time that the light magician saw a real dragon, and his legs were so scared that they went limp.
But after all, he was a carefully selected talent. He retreated for a moment, but the next moment he had already cheered up, chanted a spell, and prepared to fight back.
Even if it's a dragon, I can fight it!
The light magician was excited, and at this moment he felt that he could win!
Si Jin exhaled in boredom, and without using any magic power, he raised his hand and knocked him unconscious.
Harold had also dealt with another magician, and looked at Helena with a cold face: "Do you want to go out by yourself, or do we take you out?"
Helena's face was pale, but she didn't dare to get angry.
She didn't expect that there was more than one dragon in this store.
Due to the fact that there were customers in the store, the two dragons restrained themselves and sent Helena and her group away in the simplest way.
The Knight Captain saw the miserable state of the two magicians, said nothing, and led his team members to run away from Emerald Town, forgetting to use the teleportation array.
The customers in the store were frightened to some extent, and some stood up and wanted to leave again, but when they saw Si Jin and Harold coming back, they sat down quietly again.
This is really a black shop, right?
