Juliana’s workshop Chapter 2: Curiosity and interest

　　As winter approached, most of the residents of King’s Castle put on warm clothes—except for a few poor people who were barely clothed. Except for the slightly different weather, King’s Fort seems to have not changed at all, and the residents of King’s Fort are living as usual. To make this city have obvious changes, perhaps it will have to wait until the arrival of winter.

　　In the diaspora area to the north, in the slightly more remote north, Lulunaka’s shop is the same as before, and there are no customers. Pasta was still sitting at the counter, drinking tea and flipping through books, and had no other work to do. It was early morning, and Julius went out early again, only he and Lulunaka remained in the shop. As for Lulu Naka, isn’t she in the shop now, but continues to do her alchemy work in the backyard. In the direction of the backyard, there are always sounds coming into the store, not only the sound of liquid stirring or the bursting of bubbles, but also a slight explosion. For Pasta, these sounds only accidentally affected his thoughts in the book, but they did not make him curious. What Lulunaka makes is definitely not a safe thing.

　　 After a long time, Lulunaka returned to the shop from the backyard. In this season, Lulunaka also put on new clothes: thicker, warmer clothes and cloaks. Both the clothes and the cloak are dark green tones. If it is in the dark, then she will not look very conspicuous; and in the daytime, her clothes will not attract too much attention.

　　 “Good morning, uncle. Do you have any plans for today?” Lulunaka asked Pasta.

　　 “No, but it’s a good choice to go for a walk.” Pasta replied, “I haven’t been out for a while, I always stay here, my body feels like rusting.”

　　 “Where is that kid?” Lulunaka continued to ask, “He gets up so early every day, and sometimes I see him come back late at night.”

　　 “Who knows, you should know better than I am.” Pasta said, “Also, do you think it would be really good to let him continue to do the scavenging thing like this?”

　　 Lulunaka sat on the counter, this is her exclusive place. After sitting on the counter, she was still playing with a cane in her hand, “What’s so bad? Picking up the tatters can support herself at any rate, and I think he is doing it very happily.”

　　 “Have you reminded him that the sewer below the rat road, or even the deeper part of the sewer, is a dangerous area.” Pasta turned a page of the book. Go down…Some people would rather beg or starve to death than pick up waste below as the best choice.”

　　 “I don’t think it is as exaggerated as you said.” Lulunaka said, “It’s just a bit different from the King’s Fort on the ground, but the following is also part of the King’s Fort. You can’t say that because there are …The slightest danger, do not admit that it is part of the King’s Fort.”

　　”You may only think that underground is not a dangerous place.” Pasta smiled a little bitterly, “I would never go down in that place, if it is not necessary.”

　　”Are you a little too timid, uncle? You are not comparable to the one you used to be.”

　　 “That doesn’t change my mind, and I am not timid, please call this cautious.” Pasta said, “The underground is not as safe as the ground. Compared to the depth of the sewer, the rat path is like It’s as stable as a baby cradle. In case something happens to him…”

　　 “He has eyes, hands, feet, and brains.” Lulunaka said, “Eyes allow him to see everything clearly, hands allow him to hold weapons and use tools, and feet allow him to move. The brain allows him to judge what is safe and what is dangerous…observation, defense, escape…he has all these abilities. If there will be any accidents, it would be a shame.”

　　 “Don’t you feel sorry?”

　　Lulunaka was quiet for a while, and then said, “What a pity…If you die like this, then there is nothing to be a pity. Olga is a sentimental old man, but I don’t have anything to say. So slender.”

　　 Pasta shook his head and said nothing.

　　 At this moment, Ward called from outside the door. This lazy dog ​​would never bark because he saw a stranger. When he would bark, it would only be because he met someone he knew–or someone who the master knew well.

　　 Entering is Barrick, a somewhat unusual old dwarf. This big businessman with his own chamber of commerce and fleet usually doesn’t have so much leisure time. Even if he has time, he still has to meet the nobles who have nothing to do. When Barrick came in, he saw Lulunaka sitting on the counter waving a cane. “Good morning, madam, you look very energetic and make me feel happy.”

　　 “Good morning, Mr. Barrick.” Lulunaka smiled at Barrick, and then noticed the thing on Barrick’s neck, with a thicker smile on her face. “Mr. Barrick, your taste is so real. Not bad.” Lulunaka pointed to her neck. Naturally, there was nothing on her neck, but Barrick had it on her neck.

　　Barrick smiled and pulled the chain around his neck, letting the chain stick out. Several gold coins are strung on the chain. The gold coins are tightly attached to each other to form a cylinder. The chain passes through a circular hole drilled in the middle of the gold coins.

　　 “I thought you would spend this gold coin.” Lulunaka said, “It’s beautifully processed.”

　　 “I also have some good jewelers.” Barrick said, “This gold has no impurities, but it is much better than the so-called high-end jewellery and gold objects. It is not suitable for currency, but for gifts, It would be a great choice.”

　　 “Don’t you feel uncomfortable?” Lulunaka pointed to her slender neck, “Is there no tingling?”

　　 “I’m not greedy, so this probably won’t be my noose.” Barrick replied.

　　”A businessman who says he is not greedy is not a sign of aggressiveness.”

　　”Only temperance, prudence and compromise can live longer. This is the experience I have gained from doing business for so long. I think you know something, Madam~ IndoMTL.com~ After all, you can live longer than me. .”

　　 Lulunaka and Barrick looked at each other and smiled, and then laughed.

　　 Pasta didn’t care too much about the mysterious conversation between the two people, but he listened to it. Although it didn’t show it on the surface, he sighed slightly in his heart. No matter what was unusual about Lulunaka’s gold coins, or what Barrick did with those gold coins, Pasta actually didn’t want to know. What kind of contact and communication the two had in private, whether there were any conflicts and agreements, these Pasta did not want to know. But since Barrick had worn those gold coins around his neck, they were probably harmless—at least the gold coins he had handled should be harmless. As for whether the gold coin was originally harmless, or whether it was a product belonging to Lulunaka, Pasta wanted to know but couldn’t know.

　　 Lulunaka and Barrick finished laughing, Lulunaka continued to speak: “Come here so early, what’s the matter? You are a busy person, usually you don’t come to this remote place for everything. . If you need my help, please don’t hesitate to speak.”

　　 gossiping for a while, finally talking about the reason why he came here, there is a rare subtle expression on his face. “About this matter…” His face was neither hesitant nor embarrassed, but a more subtle expression, as if “a person has encountered a strange thing, but this incident did not make that person anything. Loss”…such an expression.

　　 “Is there anything bad to say?” Lulunaka continued to ask.

　　Barrick sighed and opened his hands to Lulunaka, “Well, ma’am… this is actually not a big deal. There is a young, promising, powerful girl, yes. Your store-or you are very interested in it.”
