Juliana’s workshop Chapter 69: Underground


   When Julius came back, the dusk had passed, and the golden and warm sky was gradually cooling down and was dyed into a cool color. When he returned, the chandelier with the sign hanging outside the door had been lit, and the faint flame was swaying in the glass.

   When he walked into the store, he only saw a candlestick next to the counter with only a half of the candle on it. Pasta was still sitting at the counter with a book spread out on the counter, and he was slowly turning the pages of the book. Pasta, who noticed Julius coming in, said to him: “The dinner time is over. And today I did not prepare your dinner.”

   This is what Lulunaka said right from the beginning. Julius was not surprised or dissatisfied because of it. “I know.” He said, taking off the sword from his waist and putting it in the exhibition. On the stage, he sat down against the exhibition stand and took a deep breath. After regaining a little energy, he continued to talk to Pasta: “There seems to be something missing on the exhibition stand. Did I read it wrong?”

   “You read that right, there are goods sold.” Pasta replied.

  ”Can the spinning top be sold?”

   “Things that can hurt others can always be sold.” Pasta said, “Otherwise, swords will be no one cares about.” At this point, Pasta looked away from the book. Turning away, looking at Julius, “You look quite energetic.”

   “I feel very tired,” Julius said.

   “A person with an empty stomach will not feel tired, but will only act like a sick or dead person, without the slightest vitality.” Pasta turned the page and rested his fingers on the footer. “You who have been hungry, you should know.”

   Julius did not refute Pasta’s plan. Indeed, as Pasta said, people who are hungry are not even qualified to feel tired, and what he said is to fill their stomachs and feel tired. Qualifications-it should be said that it is at least half full, and the strength is there, but it is not enough to be energetic.

  ”Are you used to a place like the Rat Road?” Pasta continued to ask, “Why do you make a dinner? Steal, robbery, thug, or coolie?”

   Julius scratched his head and did not immediately answer. After a while, he said: “I…I went to pick up the tatters. I ran to a place further down…”

   Pasta was about to continue turning the pages of the book with his fingers stopped. The line of sight that hadn’t been on Julius continued to fall on Julius, and this time it was like a nail, it hit Julius tightly. On his body, it seemed that he didn’t intend to move away for a while. Julius was a little hairy by Pasta’s stare, and turned his head away, not daring to look at Pastita’s bright eyes. “What’s wrong? Is there any problem? I don’t remember what she said is forbidden.”

   In Julius’ words, there is no one else except Lulunaka, and Pasta knows it well.

  ”Of course, she didn’t impose any restrictions or prohibitions on you, but she just doesn’t give you food. If she wants to impose any rules on you, she won’t let me take you until there is no rule or order. The rat said.” Pasta said, “I’m just a little surprised that you went to the current sewer scavenger. It sounds like… very interesting.”

   Julius frowned. He didn’t understand why this would be an interesting thing, “Why is it interesting?”

  ”This is a long story.” Pasta said, “And I am not someone who is patient to explain to others. The right person is at the back of the yard and is busy with her alchemy business. If you want to know why I will If you find it interesting, go find her. I think she will be happy to explain it to you.”

   At this time, Ward walked into the shop. It still had a big bone in its mouth. The bone was still fresh, but there was not even a bit of meat left on it, only Ward’s tooth print was on it. Ward approached Julius, shook his head and tail at him, and spit the bones at Julius’ feet. Julius’ eyes widened, and Ward looked at each other. Ward’s smooth black eyes were rolling, and he called Julius a few times, not feeling any malicious in it at all.

  Pastahha who saw this scene laughed, “It’s pretty cute, and I know I care about others.”

   Julius sighed, “It would be better if it knew that bones are not something anyone can gnaw on… Wait, is it pitying me?”

   “If you know what it is thinking, you may be able to understand whether it is pitying you.” Pasta said, “At least it shared food with you, I think it was out of good intentions. People like this. Biology, many times only do things for charity, sharing is a very difficult thing for people.”

   “I don’t dislike it, it’s just…” Julius looked down at Ward, picked up the bone, and put it next to Ward’s mouth, “Even if I am hungry, this thing will not be eaten. “Ward bit the bone in his mouth and blinked, looking a bit innocent. “Sorry, I can’t accept your kindness.” Julius touched Ward’s head, got up and walked towards the inner hall. Ward bit the big bone, left the store, squatted outside, and slowly enjoyed returning to the big bone in his mouth.

   “Is she behind the yard now?” Julius asked Pasta.

   “Yes, I’m playing with her alchemy cauldron.” Pasta replied. At this moment, a dull crosstalk came from behind. It was like the sound of blistering don’t burst, and it was like a popping sound. The sound penetrated through the walls and doors and reached Julius and Pasta’s ears.

   “Have you heard? She is working, but I don’t know what she is doing.” Pasta said, “It’s always the case, no one knows what she is doing or thinking.”

   “If you know what she’s thinking, maybe you can live a little easier.” Julius nodded to Pasta, opened the door and walked towards the inner hall.

   After Julius left, Pasta continued to flip through his books, reading by candlelight, “That’s not necessarily the case.” He muttered to himself, as if to Julius who was no longer here. Unfortunately, Julius could not hear it anymore.

   Julius walked through the inner hall and from the other door to the backyard. The backyard is facing the sea, you can see the strait to the north of King’s Castle, and you can vaguely see the land on the opposite side. This backyard became where Lulunaka worked, and a small area became a nursery with a few plants planted. Most of the place was occupied by the huge carriage. I don’t know when the wheels of the carriage were unloaded by Lulunaka and pinned to the chassis. The entire chassis fell on the ground, and the carriage became a melting pot.

   Yes, a furnace, in that furnace, is the alchemy cauldron that is used as the core for refining various materials and objects. Lulunaka stood on the top of the carriage shed, opened the upper skylight, holding a slender wooden stick in her hand, reaching into the alchemy cauldron under the skylight, slowly stirring. The sound came from inside the carriage, and Julius finally heard it clearly. It was the bubbling sound of the boiling liquid, and the sound of the liquid being stirred.

  Lulunaka turned her back to Julius. When Julius came to the backyard, Lulunaka spoke first: “Good evening, little hero. What did you have for dinner tonight? Mouse? Meat or vegetable leaves?”

   “Why rat meat and vegetable leaves?” Julius asked.

   “In places like Rat Road, rat meat is a good source of food.” Lulunaka said, “After all, Rat Road, there are still a lot of rats~IndoMTL.com~Cai Ye Zi, although they are a bit rotten. If you are careful, you can still get some edible dishes, but they don’t smell so good. Food intake should be balanced with nutrients.”

  ”You are concerned about my dinner.”

   “I still care about your lunch.” Lulunaka said, “I really want to know how you eat.”

   “It’s a long story…” Julius watched the smoke coming out of the carriage and drifting into the sky. “Aren’t you afraid that the carriage was accidentally lit by fire? And what are you cooking?”

  ”This is a mobile workshop that I built by myself. How could it burn at the first ignition? If you ask me what I’m cooking, it’s just some liquid with a more pungent smell. Of course, it’s not the one that I can’t drink. Species.”

   “I don’t think you can drink anything you cook.”

   “I can’t cook the fish soup?”

   Julietton paused and shook his head, “That’s not alchemy.”

   “To me, cooking is just as fun as alchemy.” Lulunaka smiled and looked down at Julius, “Okay, it’s time to answer my question: how did you eat today? ?”

   “I went to pick up the trash.” Julius replied, “Go down from the rat road to a place further down.”

   Upon hearing this, Lulunaka stopped stirring the liquid. She put her hands on the stick, bent over, and leaned her whole body on the end of the stick, looking like she was leaning against the stick for a while. rest. “Did you go to the lower sewer?”

   “Maybe deeper,” Julius said.

   “This is funny.” Lulunaka’s face once again showed a strange smile, “You ran to be a tattered scavenger, and you still ran to the underground of King Castle… This is a coincidence. , Or is it a strange fate at work?”
