Chapter 495 Crystal Ring
"It's okay."

Iluna looked up and smiled at Shade Meaning:

"You don't have any guests, but the environment in your home itself is very good; I don't have a dress, but you don't have to wear formal clothes; I can hum a dance song without a gramophone and a band. Shade, I'm still very good at singing."

Speaking and standing up, Shade also stood up, leaning on the table.

The seventeen-year-old girl seemed to be in a good mood. She took one step from Shade to the living room, then opened her hands, closed her eyes, and turned around three times in the sunlight from the window. The skirt flared like a flower, and Shade caught sight of the figure, the silhouette bobbing on the walls, sofas and cabinets.

She paused and opened her eyes, looking towards Shade, her brown hair seemed to gleam in the sun, and there were real rays of light in her eyes:

“Mr. Shade Hamilton , can I invite you to a dance?"

She held out her hand to Shade.

"It's my pleasure, ma'am."

Shade smiled and bowed slightly.

The two danced a complete dance in the sun with Iluna's humming, and then Shade sent Iluna, who was blushing, to the street outside Saint Derain Square. , the two went in opposite directions.

Shade packed the three grain-sized soul crystals in a paper envelope he folded and went straight to Old John's Pawnshop.

It was the first time that Shade saw him since he contacted the [Guide Light Hermit Order] and learned that Father John was also a person of the Light Guide Hermit Order. But after meeting, the two tacitly did not mention the Hermit Order matter. Father John joked that after not seeing Shade recently, Shade poured the three small crystals on the counter:

"I want to put them on the ring, Papa John, can you help me out here?"

It's okay to go to a coppersmith and a blacksmith, but Papa John can help Dorothy Making alchemy items and making rings should be no problem.

"You should have gone to the coppersmith. I see, oh, the crystal of the mind? Really good purity, made by Schneider?"

The old man took the tool box from under the counter , twisted one of them with copper-colored tweezers, pulled out the gas table lamp, put on professional glasses with retractable lenses, and looked at these small crystals carefully:

"You want to Making the casting materials for spiritual Mystic Art? I have done something similar, and I can also carve some lines and runes on the ring for you to enhance the effect of these crystals. However, when do you want to get the finished product?"

This means that Father John has agreed to the next deal.

"It's best to get it this evening."

"Are you in such a hurry?"

The old man took off the complicated lens on his right eye, After thinking about it, he said:

"The price will be more expensive, 13 shillings, 3 pounds, 19 pounds, what price do you choose?"

"What is the difference between these price points? ?"

"13 shillings, made of iron, I will only help you embed three crystals into the ring, you can pick it up at noon.

3 pounds, made of copper , I use alchemy to process the ring to maximize the effect of crystals. You can pick it up at 2 pm.

£19, I happened to help someone customize a helmet that can block the ability to read minds some time ago. , there are some scraps left, don't look at me like that, I'm not a material for a greedy guest."

Dad John hurriedly waved his hand:

"It's just that there are some leftovers when making helmets. The leftover material of special mind-shielding alloy is more than enough to make a pinky ring. This metal can shield the external spirit strength, but it is also an excellent internal spirit strength conduction material. The crystal ring made of mind-shielding alloy, although it will not make Your Mystic Art formidable power is doubled, but there is still a slight increase in casting speed, a wider Mystic Art range, an increased ability to withstand backlash, and a slight increase in Mystic Art effects."

With that, he put it down. The thing in his hand, watching Shade tap on the table, revealing the philistine expression that Shade is very familiar with:

"If you choose to make a ring with this alloy, I will charge you 19 pounds, but you will be paid this evening. Come and get it, and I'll handle everything for you. How's it going? What price do you choose?"

"Do I still have a choice?"

Shade asked rhetorically, at With a smug smile, the old man uttered another word:
"Canes."

"That's 17 pounds and 7 shillings."

Papa John was almost He immediately said the price, which made Shade a little puzzled:
"You don't quote a high price first, then wait for me to negotiate a price, and then say the standard price?"

"I How could you do such a thing?"

Daddy John raised his head slightly in denial, and then lowered his head to get the tape measure:
"Which finger are you going to put on? Let me Measure the size. I hope your fingers can be thinner, so I can save some materials, and the leftovers may be used as a small pendant to sell to others."

"You always have You'll make a fortune one day."

"No, I'm more concerned about it. Yes, the civilization represented in the acquisition item. Gold pounds, enough to eat. "

Shade didn't believe what Daddy John said at all.

After leaving Daddy, who was very good at making money, Shade went to Quill in the University District. Dorothy was found in the street. In the evening he planned to go to the Yordle Palace with Dorothy for a banquet. After all, Miss Galina must be with the rest of the royal family, and Luvia was with the Society of Prophets.

Because there is an important banquet to attend at night, Miss Writer has no plan to go out during the day. The girls have to prepare much more for the banquet than Shade.

The downstairs After the landlady let Shade in, Dorothy was humming when Shade was on the third floor, picking out headgear in front of the copper-framed floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room. Next to her were several metal hangers on pulleys with dresses, Shirts and other clothes.

When she heard Shade's voice outside the door, she shouted to let Shade push the door directly in.

After Shade entered the door, she asked again:
"I'm going to comb my hair into a complicated hairstyle. Shade, do you think this butterfly style ribbon looks good, or this headband with ruby and ruby in blue? "

She gestured with two headbands in her hair.

Shade thought about it:
"It's all good looking." "

Goldilocks smiled:

"You'd say that." Shade, do you have anything to do with me? "

She put the headband on the mirror, and asked Shade to help bring those shoeboxes by the door.

"Are you going to Yodel Palace tonight?" "

"Oh, I invited Luvia to set out with me, and after we got to Silver Cross, she went to meet the Society of the Prophets." Shade, you can come with us too. "

"Okay, so where will I pick you up?" Luvia's rented apartment, or are you here? "

"Just come to me." "

Dorothy said, holding the skirt held up by the hanger with great interest, and gestured in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror:
"I must remind you that the big pearl you are going to give, Best to give away in a gift box. "

She knew that Shade had a habit of stuffing jewelry and jewelry directly into his pocket.

"I'll be ready in a minute." "

Shade thought about this too.

"Also, Lecia asked me to tell you that she will definitely make time to meet you tonight. If you really don't have time, use my body. "

Dorothy has no other purpose in attending the party, so she can stay with Shade all the time.

"Okay, so is there anything else that needs to be reminded?" Although I have attended several banquets, this is the first time such a grand event. "

"Queen Diana should talk to you, maybe just a few small words to express her gratitude to you, but you also need to figure out how to respond." Didn't I say last time that I wanted to give you a Rhodes card? She might give it to you this time. In addition, you and Galina."

She was very happy to choose clothes in front of the mirror. When she mentioned the name, her face changed immediately. Her and Lecia's attitude towards Miss Galina Basically the same thing:
". The matter is now rumored, although this duchess has never been close to men, but there are still several prominent suitors in Tobesque, you have to be careful about them looking for trouble. "

"Don't worry about that. I have accepted the invitation of Marquis Grassley and will probably play Rhodes all night." "

Shade has plans for tonight.

"That's good, but you'll also make time to meet with me some Tobesque writers and reporters." Because of the detective story, my career is also a step further, I want to take the prototype characters of the detective story, and discuss the writing details of the detective story with those writers and reporters. ”

In fact, it is the mutual praise of writers. Successful writers not only need successful works, but also need recognition from their peers. Dorothy’s father is a university professor with many students. On the one hand, she has the advantage.

“No problem, I think I have time. Is there anything else to say? "

Dorothy looked in the mirror towards Shade behind her:
"Are you ready?" Also, you need to take care of your hair. "

"Don't worry, I'm ready." "

Dorothy in the mirror smiled at Shade:
"Are you going to see Galina later?" "

"Yes, I have something to look for in the afternoon. Regarding [Light] spirit rune, there is a twelve-ring warlock who can help me." "

"Very good. "

She whispered, the blonde still smiling in the mirror, and Shade didn't quite understand what she was trying to say.

Stayed a little longer with Dorothy , after having lunch with her, Shade returned to No. 6 St. Teresa Square.

On the way back, he also noticed some changes in Tian City today.

Queen Diana has a very high reputation in the Kingdom of Delarion. Although her birthday is not celebrated, there will be a national holiday, and there will be no military parade ceremony like the king's birthday, but there are still small-scale celebrations in the city, There are bands and processions paid for by the royal family in open spaces such as Place de la Sainte-Land, Place du Dawn, Place de la Anthem, etc.

It will be deserted when I leave tomorrow morning, but when I return home in the afternoon , the door is already lively.
