Candy Wizard and Travel

Should we say that excitement is the poison of a lonely person? In this summer, I have become accustomed to the disdainful and honest embrace of my senior brother. Now when I sleep alone, it is obviously still hot, but I feel an inexplicable loneliness, as if it is autumn.

That's terrible.

"That's not possible. If you can't be alone, a traveler's life will be over."

Irena patted her face and said to herself in the mirror.

"I can do it alone...it will be fine for at least a week. Okay, let's go!"

……

"...The situation is like this. If you are willing to help, we will pay a commission fee of ten gold coins when we get to Dorothy."

The uncle of the caravan said helplessly to the traveler in front of him.

If he could, he would not pay the extra remuneration. However, when he passed by a certain village two days ago, all the people who had eaten the food in the hotel in front started to vomit and squirt. He was busy counting the things that day and missed the time. They managed to escape by making do with dry food.

But now there are only the minimum manpower left that can act. To put it simply... he is a thin-skinned and big-stuffed bun. If he were a robber, he would want to make a fortune, earning thousands of gold coins in 10 minutes.

Therefore, when he saw the witch traveling alone, he made a request.

Most of those witches are easy to talk to. As long as it doesn't affect their plans, they won't mind making a little money along the way. And because of their status as witches, they have many ways to make money, which guarantees their reliability, just like adults usually don't. He would take risks just for a few months' salary.

It's just that the one in front of him is different from the ones he has seen.

"Ten gold coins..."

The gray-haired traveler in front of him showed an expression that said, "It's hard for me to help you with this little money."

"It's hard for me to help you with this little money."

——Say it!

"Um, I can subsidize it privately at most. The chamber of commerce will not reimburse me for this kind of unexpected situation. At most... this number."

The uncle showed a pained expression and pointed out three fingers.

"Thirty?"

"Three."

"Farewell."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

At the moment, there is no place to go. I have to go to the nearest Magical Integration Association to entrust it. It takes three days to go through the process. Not to mention how expensive it is to hire a witch from the association. If there is a slight delay, Dorothy will not be able to get there by the next week. It will be postponed. The cost would be three hundred gold coins.

In the end, they bargained back and forth and settled on a total of thirty gold coins. The uncle was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

"When to set off?"

"Let's go now!"

……

One of the principles of entrustment is to try not to explore the client's secrets.

Irena had performed similar escort missions before, and it was really not good to ask what kind of goods they sent.

Unless she was doing something illegal, Miss Traveler had done something like reporting back and getting the reporting fee after receiving the entrustment fee. Therefore, when they were sorting out the goods, Irena still took the time to take a look.

She is a traveler and not a member of the association. How can she have any professional ethics?The bottom line of a traveler is always adaptability.

But it's a pity that it looks like very ordinary valuables. The empty space is filled with stuffing such as wooden frames and hay, and the size of the cargo box is also normal.

It's a pity that I can't report it, so I have to really go to Dorothy. If possible, Miss Irena wants to just take money and not do anything.

I looked at the map and realized that it would take three days to get there if everything went well. Then I would go all out and take a straight line to the Land of Honesty. Well, it was also three days, which was quite enough time. For a girl who was worried about how to spend a week without her senior brother, It’s a good job to relax and make extra money.

……

The good news is, there were no surprises along the way.

The bad news is, there were no surprises along the way.

Irena happily pulled the purse containing the final payment from the uncle of the chamber of commerce. The uncle clutched his chest in pain and said that it would be better if he took a gamble.

Of course, he won't gamble. He will still find someone next time he encounters this situation. Even if there is no traveling witch, he will ensure the safety of the goods even if he pays the delay fee.

"Goodbye, uncle, I hope I can find such a lucrative job next time."

"No la!"

……

The feeling of holding the heavy coins in your hands is very wonderful, and the reward for your hard work is also very reassuring. It feels great to be fulfilled.

Although she had done nothing these days, and even took food and drinks to save money on accommodation and meals, traveling with the team was different from traveling by herself. For the highest efficiency, she set off before the sun came up and rested after sunset every day. Irena missed it very much, but she didn't just take money and do nothing. She had to pay attention to her surroundings during the whole process.

Fortunately, it was only three days. If it had been longer, the lazy girl would really not be able to hold on.

After getting the money, the next step is to spend it... ahem, relax.

Irena gave up the idea of ​​going to a high-end restaurant to eat and drink - well, at least until she saw her senior brother.

She observed the country with a familiar name, maybe because of its common name. She had also seen countries with the same name.

Dorothy is a cute pronunciation, and this place is also nicknamed the Land of Dolls. This is not hidden at all. Any visitor can feel it, everywhere they look, on street corners, in front of shops, in parks... and even in trash cans. There are traces of dolls on them, cartoon style, classical style, realism... it is eye-opening.

Looking over at the sight, Irena trembled unconsciously.

“Aren’t people in this country scared?”

Miss Irena is the type who covers the face of a doll when she sleeps at night. Think about it, there is an outline close to a human face staring at her in the middle of the night, ugh!She really couldn't accept that kind of thing.

But it sounds like people in this country are feeling okay.

"Your Eddie's skin looks much better again."

"No way~ I just used relatively high-end skin care products. Magical things are more expensive but still effective."

"That's great, but I still want to raise a 'son' recently, so for the time being -"

Women and gentlemen holding dolls walked by, comparing the luster of hair and skin, the material and realism of each other's "sons and daughters", etc.

Glancing over, it was like a parent holding a child.

Hmm... Irena thinks she may lack the relevant level of aesthetics. Those dolls that often start with dozens of gold coins, well, feel inferior to her senior brother's Mayuko, who often occupies the bedside of her senior brother's bed, which she finds very annoying. Ornaments.

But now that I think about it, it’s cute. After all, the perspective on things has changed. If you don’t like your own things, you just put them away.

Listening to people's various Versailles remarks, Irena also had some thoughts: If the dolls are so profitable...should I purchase some and resell them elsewhere?This is serious business, even the senior brother can't say anything.

Just do what you say, and the traveler, who has extremely high mobility when it comes to money, started making preparations.

……

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

First of all, you need to have a rough understanding of what you are doing. Bookstores are a good place. In this day and age, not many people will write a book for the purpose of advertising, except for True Love.

Buy a book?No, just take a look, Miss Irena.

……

Half an hour later, those who read the white book were kicked out.

Irena felt that her head was full of dizziness, and she was reserved in writing books these days. She introduced the dolls from the source of materials to the craftsmanship. They looked quite expensive, but they didn't mention the price. If you want to know, you have to ask someone.

If you want to make money, you still have to worry.

After a full circle, Miss Irena succeeded and successfully dissipated her enthusiasm.

Thinking about it carefully, she is not short of money now, and market research is time-consuming. Rather than making money, she still wants to return to her senior brother as soon as possible.

But you still have to go shopping, learn some knowledge about puppets, and have something in common with your senior brother later, because his master seems to be a puppet master as well.

To be able to produce such exquisite works as Mayuko, he must be a master who strives for excellence in his works and is rigid and serious. Hmm, that must be the case, otherwise it would be difficult to understand how my senior brother could have such a serious character. I wonder if it would be nice to meet in the future. get along.

There is another thing that she cares about. Teacher Fran said several times that she has a teacher and a master, and the same is true for her senior brother. Thinking about it this way, is she the only one left out?

no no.

Irena suddenly remembered something.

When she confessed that she was not sober, her senior brother seemed to have asked her to call her "teacher", and speaking of it, in terms of learning and living magic, he was obviously more worthy of this title than Teacher Fran.

Putting aside these things, when in close contact, if you call "teacher" softly, the senior brother's body will tense up, his face will turn red and he will say something like "don't make fun of me", which is very interesting.

"Hey hey..."

Just imagining that this summer is getting hotter.

……

"Boss, do you know where there is a shop that sells dolls?"

"Well, when you go out, if you're not blind, the shops with signboards are all related to dolls, young ladies with poor figures."

"Talk to me like this, boss, your——"

Miss Irena's chest rose and fell, and she managed to calm down. Most of the time, she was a civilized and polite child.

"I wish you would go out of business soon."

After looking at the greasy middle-aged man who was holding the doll and kissing and touching it, Irena angrily pushed open the door of the hotel and left. It was really annoying. How could there be such a person running the hotel, with the doll? Go live your life!

……

"As for doll shops, I would first recommend the newly opened Magic Doll Shop on the street. The store is spacious and bright. It is the latest choice for Dorothy doll lovers... So enthusiastic? It definitely has nothing to do with the gold coins they give!"

……

"Dorothy's people have also become impetuous. If you are interested in dolls, miss, well, I am a collector. My family is quite big, and there are many good dolls... Hey, don't leave. Ah, miss, although you are a little poorer, I have been very horny recently..."

"That's the man."

Chengwei silently pulled the greasy-haired guy away.

……

After turning around, Irena only felt that the people in this country have some serious disease. Maybe it is because they have been with the dolls for a long time and are used to straightforward expressions. When communicating with normal people, they can not speak freely and can be regarded as doing whatever they want. , very refreshing in an area that doesn’t feel refreshing at all.

Those who can talk are basically advertising.

Irena went to the newly opened doll shop and walked around. It was indeed spacious and bright. It had the spacious location of an ordinary three shops on the best section of the road. There were dozens of staff. The dolls were decorated in glass cabinets, sparkling. The glowing magic lamps are lit luxuriously, which is indeed an eye-opening experience.

But how do I put it... There is a sense of "exquisiteness" like an assembly line product. Well, Irena can only think of this word. It is not a compliment, but she feels that the workmanship is too cold, lacks some human touch, and lacks something. Feel.

As I walked around, I felt like I was being stared at by those indifferent little things all the time, which made my skin crawl.

"evil……"

Most of the other doll shops can be considered grocery stores, with replacement limbs, wigs, and ball joints stacked in piles, giving it a chaotic clarity.

After wandering around this country for a long time, Irena felt dizzy and nauseous.

"It's better to go to the hotel and rest quickly. Change to a normal hotel... I'm so angry. I'm not in the mood to eat anymore. I just happened to have the croissants from the caravan..."

The exhausted traveler looked at the sky. It would be noon soon, and the weather was uncomfortably hot.

As she walked around the street, a very eye-catching golden color appeared in her field of vision. It dazzled her in the sun. Huh?acquaintance.

She was a blonde, quite tall woman, wearing a white robe with a blue background and a pointed hat. She looked like a witch. When she turned her head, she was indeed the Night Witch Sheila. I had been in contact with her when she first started traveling. Years later it's still the same.

He has slender green eyes, raised eyebrows, and the cigarette in his mouth was replaced by a pipe. He has a slightly more adult look, but the bad temperament is still there.

Perhaps because of the inconvenience on the chest, the two medals were squeezed into the shoulders of the robe.

The summer clothes were particularly obvious, which made Irena's eyelids jump as she was a little concerned about her figure recently. She reached out and unconsciously gestured at her chest, three?No, at least five have started, right?Aren't you tired after being so old?You must have back pain all day long, right?

The girl pondered with bitter malice.

Because her acquaintances and senior brothers were also in the association, she was a little concerned about the work content of those people. She sat on a chair on the corner of the street, wrestling with the hardened croissant, and listening to the conversation over there openly.

"...So you locals don't have any other clues?" Sheila seemed to have just finished some inquiry.

A gentleman who looked a little chubby held a pink little girl doll and said hesitantly: "Well, actually, I think she might be the witch from that old doll shop. I often heard people say that she was holding the doll. His limbs make strange laughter, and in the early years he was a weirdo who would secretly shave off the hair of other people’s cats.”

"Old Man's Puppet Shop? Which one?"

"Dorothy only has one old store..."

"Ms. Marr is a decent craftsman!" Another lady retorted, holding a boy doll that was somewhat familiar to her workmanship. "She put her heart and soul into the doll."

"That guy took out someone's elementary school diary and read it out loud! Would a normal person be so vicious?"
