Candy Wizard and Travel

Then, she described from a first-person perspective the business plans of those people, which were not very fair, and what they did during this period...

What those people did was more outrageous than conspiring loudly in front of the broadcast, but it was understandable. Who would shy away from a doll?

"If this magic became popular..." Sheila thought.

Irena added casually, "The world is about to be destroyed."

"Hard to say."

……

"It's done. It hasn't been this smooth for a long time, second only to your senior brother... ahem."

Silla silenced her voice in time. Fortunately, the girl next to her was immersed in thinking about how to have a good relationship with her "mother-in-law" and did not hear her.

She breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she deliberately concealed her identity or anything, but it was just after get off work time and she hurried to smoke. If she said, "I am your uncle," she would have to ask a lot of questions, which would be troublesome.

This mission is so simple. If only interpersonal communication could be this simple.

"Ah, what did you say just now?"

"No, the relevant materials have been collected. We will just go through the process tomorrow." She snapped her fingers, lit the tobacco in the pipe skillfully, and started puffing on the smoke. "By the way, is your hair okay?"

"If it takes two days, it can still be repaired with my magic power, but if it takes longer, I'll have to find my senior brother."

"Oh."

Silla waved her hands.

"See you tomorrow then."

"Ah, see you tomorrow."

……

The scope of the criminals has been confirmed, and Irena feels much better.

She went back, carefully wrote down this page in her diary, and closed her eyes with anticipation. Of course, this time she did not forget to be on guard.

……

The next day, the speaker of Dorothy's new faction, the Mechanical Doll Trading Association, was arrested. The association keeps pace with the times, and in order to protect the privacy of the suspect, let's call it A.

A secretly bribed many of Dorothy's classical puppet masters and asked them to tamper with the puppets. If they did not cooperate, he would use a series of threats and intimidation. The last step of the plan was to detonate a wave of public opinion and bring all the puppets together. The traditional puppeteers rushed out and occupied Dorothy's market with mechanical puppets.

——Don’t stop your uncle from making money.

Even for an excellent puppet master like Mal, it would take more than two days to make a puppet by relying on magic and without the cooperation of anyone familiar with it.

If the requirements are higher and people pursue art and choose handicrafts, it is not a problem to increase the time ten times. For ordinary craftsmen who cannot use magic, it is almost the same time to cooperate with each other in the workshop. Some who are famous can only work in a year. Make one and put it up for auction.

So far, although the doll is a representative of Dorothy, it has been positioned as a luxury product and has not been able to create much considerable profits.

The mechanical doll is different. Compared with the traditional doll, it is even defined as a light luxury product. With a stable production line, the output in one week can be as much as all Dorothy's puppet makers put together in one quarter.

Hurry, it's almost too much. It's much easier for magicians who are well-trained and well-coordinated to deal with humans. At the end of a few key points, the matter is over.

Although in the end, some things were still difficult to deal with.

The money not only fell into Mr. A's pocket, the money also played a role. Their actions of intimidation, fraud, and framing of the puppet master were all tacitly approved until they were exposed.

Dorothy's original ideological dispute seemed so mild under this impact. Not only the fans of the mechanical school were inferior to others, but the traditionalists also felt shameless, because the more mainstream ones were all in cahoots.

Those who were pointed out as colluding with Mr. A no longer had the dignity to stay at Dorothy, and their works were discarded on the streets by collectors.

Things seemed to be over.

Relevant prisoners, those not related to magic, were left to Dorothy's home country to deal with. Magical criminals were transferred to the nearby association branch for sanctions after going through the formalities.

In the afternoon, Sheila took Irena to the temporary shelter.

"After a whole morning of identification, excluding other people, it was a little tricky to identify the criminal who cut off your hair. They don't just do something as mild as stealing someone's hair, they use magic to intimidate, they even destroy carriages and houses and cause accidents, physical Solve competitors...

They are no longer ordinary prisoners. They need to be transferred to a nearby branch. I don't have much time to stay here, and I can only use relatively mild methods. They seem to have experience. I can't pry them open until they have been there for more than two or three days. Mouth. "

"It's okay, I have a solution."

"Oh yes."

Sheila remembered someone's statement in the association. Outside of monsters, his attitude toward evil people was almost cruel. If he didn't say he wanted to be alive afterwards, it would often be difficult to even find the whole body.

Irena gritted her teeth. Her senior brother had taught her some not-so-gentle methods, but she didn't want to try them if possible.

……

"Sold?"

"Really, really sold!"

The two brothers, one tall and one short, were in front of them with sad faces. Ten minutes ago, they were still laughing at the association for using the same methods, but their eyes were opened immediately.

They are already considered evil people, but the methods described by this little girl make them feel like they will die happily. What kind of reincarnation of the King of Hell?

Irena didn't have the courage to do it yet, but she might as well say that the information was successfully obtained, but who would have thought that these two people got the hair yesterday. It happened that someone in the black market purchased high-quality doll materials at a 30% premium. They didn't even think about it. It was sold.

"Where's the money! Give me the money!"

Irena has a fierce look in her eyes and no hair. She can just get some money to compensate.

"I spent it. I went to that fancy restaurant yesterday..."

"you--"

"Calm down," Sheila stopped her in time. "These people will be sent to trial. The best result is a lifetime of hard labor as compensation. We cannot let them die before their final value is revealed."

The two brothers looked unwilling.

"This matter was caused by us. I only have one sentence. Why do you know so much about our affairs at the last moment? Are you a big shot?"

Irena had seen too many stubborn guys, so she calmed down a little, "You want to know? I won't tell you!"

Who would have thought that the puppet that was originally used to frame the traditional puppet master would be handed over

She opened the door and left.

Silla smoked a cigarette, glanced at the two of them, shook her head and left.

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

"Ahhhh...my hair!"

Irena rolled around on the sofa, lamenting the loss of her long hair, which was like years.

"By the way, I made such a big sacrifice this time in exchange for the association being so efficient. Shouldn't I be rewarded?"

"Your logic is very suitable for becoming a robber." Sheila came over with a pipe in her mouth, pressed her hair and asked her to sit down. "I just asked people to finish the investigation. The black market has already received the news and concealed the traces. As long as they can be recovered, It will take more than half a month to get your hair done..."

At that time, the amount of magic power required for retroactive magic was an outrageous amount. Not to mention the girl in front of her, her senior brother would also have a headache for a while.

"So do you have money?" The girl asked persistently without forgetting her original intention.

Sheila sighed, feeling that the ability of blood inheritance is really powerful, and the education at an early age is so deep-rooted. With such a teacher and such a senior brother, this child can still be so like Victorique... It can only be said that it is a family education.

"Within my scope of authority, I can strive for this number for the facilitator," she gestured, "This is the limit."

"Tch, it's better than nothing," she said, showing a lack of interest, but she had already extended her hand, "Would you like to give it now?"

——I really want to smoke.

Sheila, who was in a complicated mood, counted out a few gold coins and handed them over, and the girl nodded with satisfaction.

"There is a not-so-secret news. This turmoil has had a great impact on Dorothy's doll industry. Some high-end dolls have been abandoned by collectors, and the prices of items for sale have also been significantly reduced. If you seize the opportunity... you can find it in the news Before spreading the word, make some money somewhere else.”

Sheila thought, after all, it was a problem that happened under her nose, and it was appropriate to provide some compensation. Information gaps were also a part of business, and it was not considered a violation. She had rules and regulations and could not participate, so it was not against the rules to speak out. .

"oh oh!"

The money-greedy man was about to stand up.

"Wait a minute," Silla grabbed her and pushed her back, "Please tidy up your hair by the way, it's uneven and ugly."

Before she could say anything, Silla sat down, put a piece of cloth on her legs, raised Irena's head and put it down, got the scissors from somewhere, and started to get started.

Irena was so frightened that she couldn't move at first, fearing that she had some shortcomings. After a while, she realized that Silla's skills were unexpectedly proficient.

Summoning the magic wand and forming a mirror on it, Irena stared at herself, looking at the long hair that used to reach the back of her shoulders. It was neatly trimmed down to the nape of her neck. This was highlighted by the hairstyle. All of it was put down. Probably only just past the ears.

Damn murderer!

Irena was heartbroken.

Long hair is a girl's treasure. Now when she introduces herself, she can no longer use sentences like "gray hair is flowing in the wind."

"Well, I think it's more convenient to have short hair when traveling. When I was traveling with people in the past, I often heard fellow travelers complain that long hair was difficult to take care of."

"So they cut it shorter?"

"No, they asked me to help clean them, saying that magic has no maintenance effect like shampoo."

"Oh, that sounds like a bad character."

"..." She paused and said, "Yes."

With the help of Ms. Sheila's skillful hands that were inconsistent with her bad temperament, Irena's miserable hair was barely saved. If the charm was calculated in percent, long hair would have scored [-] points, but now short hair could only rank at [-] points.

wrong?Yes, her beauty is growing all the time. Today's [-]% is better than yesterday's [-]%. When calculating, you have to do the calculation.

One thing to say, short hair does feel a lot fresher and looks easy to comb. It won’t get pressed if you don’t comb it while sleeping. It can be dried quickly after washing. Even if you forget to use the magic dryer, you won’t have to worry about waking up with a headache. …

I don’t know what senior brother will do when he sees her with short hair.

……

Before seeing his senior brother, he first saw an unexpected acquaintance.

Ms. Marr walked on the street, looking for those abandoned dolls, either broken or complete, following her under the control of magic. They were very eye-catching, like the march of dolls, completely ignoring the strange behavior of the people around them. Eyes.

Well, this job is a bit challenging even for Irena, but Mal doesn't seem to care at all.

"What is Master Mal doing?"

Irena chose a title that was neither far nor near, and now she was not ready to reveal her identity.

After being stunned for a moment, Mal came to his senses and replied casually, "These dolls can help me broaden my thinking. Although those guys are considered mediocre, their craftsmanship over the years is still eye-catching and valuable for research."

Most of these discarded puppet masters were those who were complicit in slandering their own people. After their names were completely ruined, owning their works changed from a capital to show off to a shame. Yesterday, they were displayed in beautiful showcases. , I changed it to the trash can today, things are unpredictable.

As if seeing her doubts, Mal picked up a cute girl doll and said, "I love this job, so I can feel the hard work that my colleagues put into it. No matter what their original intention is, they must bear the burden. We were looking forward to the release of The Sense of Expectation, so it would be too hasty to end it like this.”

"Ahaha, is this the style of a master?" Irena complimented with difficulty, thinking that she was planning to buy it for zero yuan.

"...Also, I can feel the breath of these children, including sadness, anger, and blessing...I like such emotions, it's great!"

Irena silently took back the emotions she had just brewed. Sure enough, even her senior brother's master still felt out of tune.

Mal didn't care about money. How much money he had and how good the materials were. It was normal for him to squander all his money in one go, leaving only living expenses.

Her works are given away for free to those who reject them. This attitude towards life means she is not short of money, which shows that her craftsmanship is indeed good. She has been in business for three years.

Moreover, every time Dorothy's holiday came, gifts and gold coins would be sent regularly. Even though she had said it many times, the child still insisted on doing so.

Thinking about it, she felt much happier.

The child recently wrote in a letter saying that he would come back before autumn, which is really exciting.

……

Xidi handed over the box as a voucher for the mission, and gently reminded the little girl registering in front of her that it was best to leave this to someone else to check.

Because it is indeed not a wonderful prop inside, but the miserable princess who can be counted as his registered student.

The registrant vaguely noticed something from the shape and the dark marks on the box. His face turned slightly pale and he handed it over to his colleagues in the combat department.

Then there is the photo crystal that records the mission process, the mission report document, and the signature of the confirming personnel.

“Thank you so much for your activity and hard work!”

For Xidi, the time to find the goal is always longer than the execution.

……

I unexpectedly received the news that Irena had gone to Dorothy.

Xidi couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate, and calculated the distance. If he went at full speed, he could arrive today.

But the kid will definitely stay one night, so he can go there tomorrow morning. He still has time to prepare gifts.
