Chapter 56 The Second Store



In the Heart Guild, many adventurers are standing in front of the mission bulletin board.

One person asked in confusion: "Didn't the Red Eye, Black Eagle and Silver Wing teams all accept it? Why is this A-level mission still pending?"

Someone lowered his voice and said: "I heard that all three teams failed, and Silver Wing has taken the initiative to give up this mission."

"Isn't it just an A-level mission? Silver Wing is another matter, how could the Red Eye team and the Black Eagle team fail? It's so funny that a hero-level adventurer can't complete an A-level mission."

In the crowd, a platinum-level adventurer said with a bitter face: "The store is gone. No matter how many times I go there, I can't find the store no matter how many times I search the town."

"It's really strange. We went there yesterday with a lot of people, and it was clearly on the street to the east. Today, I couldn't find it." A member of another adventure team said. What

he didn't say was that even if we found the store, this mission would not be that simple.

The store has two ridiculously strong guards. Except for the Silver Wing team, everyone else was beaten back yesterday, including Red Eyes and Black Eagle.

Ian ignored the glances and discussions around him, tore off the mission he wanted to take from the bulletin board, and turned to walk towards the guild gate.

The leader of the Red Eyes team, Red Eyes, came to submit the certificate for the S-level mission. He met Ian at the door and said, "Silver Wing actually gave up the mission on his own initiative. Without a hero-level adventurer, you can still be on par with my team. I thought you had some backbone."

On the way to the guild, Red Eyes had already heard the team members report on the situation of the A-level mission.

The Silver Wing team was the only team that received the mission without any damage. But when they came back from the town, they gave up the mission.

How could Ian not know what Hongtong was up to? She just wanted to take the opportunity to gather intelligence. He smiled gently and raised the commission in his hand, "With the strength of the Hongtong team, we can easily complete the mission. We have other missions to go out. See you later."

Hongtong looked back at the backs of the Silver Wing team members, and deep thoughts flashed in his eyes. He turned around and saw Clarissa from the Black Eagle team, and pulled the corners of his lips, "The devil wouldn't be interested in such a small mission, right?"

Clarissa didn't say anything, and walked into the guild with the certificate of the S-level mission.

Hongtong's face was slightly ugly. The fact that Clarissa had devil blood was not a secret in the Red Heart Guild.

Because of her strong strength, no one dared to talk about her openly.

Only Hongtong, who was also a hero-level adventurer, dared to flirt with her occasionally, but she seldom got a response.

Clarissa was like a tool to complete tasks, constantly brushing tasks, and never took the outside world's evaluation, provocation or show of favor to heart.

Norman, the captain of the Black Eagle team, sat in the carriage, waiting for Clarissa to come out of the guild, and handed her an A-level task commission, "I want to hear the news of the completion of the task before dark."

Clarissa took the commission, turned around and left without reading it.

One of the team members who went to the nail salon yesterday, the heavy sword warrior whose artifact-level armor was melted, looked uneasy: "Can she solve it alone?"

Norman said coldly, "She is different from you."

The heavy sword warrior looked embarrassed and said no more.

Indeed, Clarissa, who has demon blood, is ridiculously strong, and there has never been a mission she cannot complete.

Ninety percent of the credit for their team's current strength and reputation lies with Clarissa.

She is really too strong.

Clarissa stood in the fountain square, turned her head and looked around, quickly found the direction, and walked towards the east street.

Standing in front of the "Luyao Nail Salon", some doubts flashed in Clarissa's red eyes. There are the auras of powerful creatures in this store, as well as very weak creatures. There

is something posted on the door, recruiting apprentices?

Clarissa blinked and suppressed her sudden curiosity.

Her mission is to make this store disappear, so there is no need to know so much. With a thought, she summoned a huge red sickle, clenched her five fingers, and carefully pushed open the door.

As soon as Clarissa stepped into the store, Tina, who was sitting in front of the workbench, turned around suddenly with a look of suspicion in her eyes.

A very powerful guy came in.

Clarissa also sensed the breath of the dragon at the same time. Her heart sank and she held the weapon in her hand even tighter. No wonder ordinary adventurers couldn't solve it.

"Welcome, please sit inside for your nails." A soft and cute voice sounded.

Clarissa lowered her head and it turned out to be a slime.

There are dragons and slimes, and the slimes can even talk. It's really a strange little shop.

The nail salon was maintained and upgraded last night, and the space inside the store has doubled compared to the original. Three more windows have been added, and the view outside the window is still exactly the same.

The number of workstations increased from three to six, and the area of ​​the leisure area was also expanded. A new set of brown sofas was added, and a three-layer wooden bookcase was added to the corner of the sofa.

The height of the bookcase is just up to the armrest of the sofa. A round frosted glass is placed on the top of the cabinet to display snacks and drinks.

Books are neatly arranged in the cabinet below, two layers of which are comics, and one layer is various miscellaneous books.

According to the information provided by Si Jin and Harold, Lu Yao drew a hidden magic circle around the store to accurately block magic users with platinum level and below.

Magic users without magic power and strength higher than platinum level are not affected and can still find the nail salon directly.

In this case, there are still customers in the store, but much less than the previous two days.

There was no one waiting in line in the store today, and there were only two customers getting manicures at the workbench.

Clarissa did not immediately carry out her duties as usual, but followed the instructions of the little slime and sat down.

Lu Yao came out of the laboratory and wanted to call Mumu, but when he saw Clarissa, he paused slightly and did not speak immediately.

Clarissa looked at Lu Yao. This was the owner of the store. He looked like an ordinary human, but there was something strange about his aura.

Mumu slowly moved to Lu Yao's side and tilted his head back. "Chiji."

Lu Yao squatted down, touched it, and praised it: "Mummu is also very capable today. Thank you for your hard work."

"Chi!" Mumu's round eyes sparkled, soft and cute.

"Is this slime special?" Clarissa teleported to the two of them, with confusion in her eyes, and even reached out to rub Mumu to confirm that it was just an ordinary slime.

"Huh?" A person suddenly appeared beside him, and Lu Yao was caught off guard and startled, not hearing clearly.

The concealment magic circle worked well. No one came to cause trouble in the morning. Lu Yao asked Si Jin and Harold to go out to collect materials, leaving only Tina in the store.

The guest who came at this time might be quite powerful, and his strength should be above that of a platinum-level adventurer, otherwise he would not have found this place.

However, this guest did not look like the demon she was waiting for. Tina said that the adventurer with demon blood was at least fifty years old.

Clarissa reached out and picked up Mumu, squeezed it a few times, and looked at Lu Yao again: "Why do you want to raise it? Slime is the weakest monster on this continent and has no value. Even if you want to raise a pet, there should be many better options."

"..." Lu Yao snatched Mumu from the customer's hands and put him on the ground, trying to speak in a calm tone, "Although it is a slime, Mumu is very capable."

Clarissa: "Mum? Did you name the slime?"

Lu Yao: "Well, Mumu is his name. Strictly speaking, I just gave him a name and didn't raise him. He is not a pet. Mumu is an employee in the store and is very capable. He uses labor in exchange for wages, and he is supporting himself."

"Ji." Slime stretched out its little claws and tightly grasped the corner of Lu Yao's clothes, and its big eyes became more moist.

Clarissa vaguely felt the anger in the shop owner's words, but her expression became blank: "What can he do?"

Lu Yao stood up, looked at Clarissa with helplessness, and pointed at the workbench, "You go sit over there first."

A few minutes later, Mumu moved to the manicurist's position and sat down.

Clarissa was puzzled: "What is this for?"

"Mumu is your manicurist today. If you have any questions, please communicate with him." Lu Yao said, walked to the leisure area and sat down, picking up a comic book to read.

There were not many people in the store, and Mumu still maintained the form of slime, handed Clarissa a tablet, and patiently taught her how to use it.

Clarissa was a little surprised. This slime was really smart. After looking down for a while, she suddenly realized that this was a nail salon.

There were many styles, and the more you flipped through the pages, the more beautiful they were.

At first, it was just ordinary manicures. Starting from a certain pair, there were many nails with traces of magic, and even the breath of dark magic.

Clarissa was not very interested in magic manicures, so she chose the simplest solid color style.

Her requirements were also simple, that the color of each finger should be different.

After communicating the details of the manicure with the slime, Clarissa's expression froze slightly, as if she was on a mission.

Mumu's little claws held the sanding strip, and just after grinding it a little, the sanding strip broke.

Tina looked up at Clarissa, took out the black and gold nail file specially used for dragons from the drawer, and handed it to Mumu.

Manicures are a long and relaxing process, and Clarissa couldn't remember how long it had been since she had indulged herself like this.

Stopping to rest suddenly would make her feel strongly uneasy and guilty.

Her father was a human and her mother was a demon, but her birth was a complete deal.

Her father summoned her mother in exchange for the soul of a powerful creature and wished for a demon child.

So, Clarissa was born.

With some secret power.

But the deal went wrong, and the powerful soul that her father sacrificed to the demon was harvested by someone else in advance.

The demon didn't receive the price he deserved, so he took back some of Clarissa's power.

The forbidden half-demon child lost his secret power and his value of existence.

She should have been executed by the Templars immediately.

Someone told her that the demon blood in her body was both her sin and her only remaining value.

Clarissa became an adventurer, obeyed the driver, and continued to take on missions.

She firmly believed that this was her value.

Only a strong existence has value.

It was not until she met a human and a slime that the lies hidden in those words gradually emerged.

Clarissa's nails were done, and the color of each finger on the left and right hands was different.

But Mumu did a little trick, the left hand was a matte effect, and the right hand was painted with a little silver cat eye nail polish to create a shiny effect. Lu Yao

came over, touched Mumu's head, and praised, "The color selection and design are very advanced, Mumu is really amazing."

Tina and Eugenia were done, and came over to look at Clarissa's nails, and gave Mumu a thumbs up.

"Chi." Mumu was shy.

Clarissa counted out the copper coins to pay the bill, and then held up her fingers for a long time, with a confused look, and looked at Lu Yao again: "You like this slime because he can dye his nails?"

Lu Yao picked up Mumu and held him in front of Clarissa, "My friend, take a good look at this slime! He is so soft, so clear, so cute, can wear clothes, and can act coquettishly. Even if he can't do anything, I still like him."

It is undeniable that Mumu, who has the ability to learn, is very likable.

But in fact, when he came to knock on the door with the black lotus on his head, Lu Yao had no way to refuse.

Because he was really cute.

With a "bang", the door of the nail salon was blown open from the outside.

Harold walked in with a dark face, carrying a huge box, and said in a cold voice: "Lu Yao."

Lu Yao: "...I'm back."

Harold threw the box away, walked in front of Lu Yao, pointed at Mumu who was nestling in her arms, and said angrily, "Since you like this slime so much, let him go out to make materials for you in the future! Humph!"

Worried that she was not safe in the store alone, he came back halfway through making materials. At the door, he heard her bragging about the slime to others, which really pissed him off.

Clarissa was even more surprised than before. This giant dragon was jealous of the slime. Lu

Yao put Mumu down, turned around to pour water, and sat down next to the angry little black dragon. "Drink some water. You are tired from this trip."

Harold was angry, but still took the cup and gulped it down.

Lu Yao asked softly, "Did you encounter any danger? You are not injured, right?"

Harold snorted coldly, "You know I won't be injured."

Lu Yao grabbed Harold's hand to check it, and then walked around him to make sure he was not injured, then he said: "I know you are very strong. But every time you go out, I still worry, afraid that you will be injured, afraid that you will encounter danger, and afraid that you will meet people with ulterior motives. It's good that you are not injured. Are you hungry? I bought your favorite strawberry cake and put it in the lounge, and there are also new flavors of instant noodles."

Harold couldn't get angry anymore, so he got up and walked towards the lounge.

This human is really cunning.

Clarissa was stunned. Perhaps the most terrifying existence in this store is the human who looks the weakest and most harmless. Lu

Yao was a little surprised that she hadn't left yet, "Anything else?"

Clarissa shook her head and walked out of the nail salon with a dazed look on her face.

Standing at the door, she couldn't help but look back, unable to accurately describe her complicated mood at this time.

If she must make an analogy, she might be the same kind as the dragon just now.

Powerful, with evil blood, and scary.

Clarissa looked down at the colorful nails and felt empty in her heart.

In the eyes of that human, the weak slime is capable, and the powerful dragon is fragile.

What if I were a demon?

This is an absurd idea, but Clarissa couldn't help but keep imagining it.

Unfortunately, no matter how she imagined it, she felt dissatisfied. With her peripheral vision

, she saw the recruitment notice posted on the door. Clarissa thought for a moment, turned around and strode back to the store, and said loudly: "Owner, I want to apply for an apprentice."

In a hotel in the city of Braibis.

The giant sword warrior of the Black Eagle team stood by the window, looking at the setting sun, feeling a little uneasy: "Clarissa has been gone for too long."

Captain Norman looked calm and said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, she will complete the mission even if she dies."

If the mission fails, there is no need for her to come back alive.

Royal Magic Academy, in a dormitory.

The high priest Carlos, who claimed to be sick and bedridden, leaned on the edge of the bed, holding a legendary crystal in his hand.

In the transparent crystal, a picture of a nail salon appeared.

Carlos's eyes were half closed and half open, revealing a faint red light.

The devil also went to her side.

Only he could not go.
