Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Gilded Rose
"Where the hell is the Gilded Rose Gilded Rose store? Cassini, you need to make it clear! Nebula walked left and right on the streets of the business district of the Enchanted Jungle, scratching his head from time to time and making a few trivial words.
Last night, when Nebula revealed its embarrassment, it was Carmon who was the first to lend a hand. Although Carmon is only the second young master of the Merlin family, he has never lacked pocket money or anything.
As can be seen from the trip to the city in the forest a few days ago, the city in the forest teleportation scroll with six hundred gold coins and the fixed-point teleportation scroll with four hundred gold coins were boldly taken out by Kamon alone.
This is completely unimaginable for an ordinary person with a monthly income of twenty gold coins, and he spent four thousand gold coins just to go to the hot springs for one night!!
Of course, Carmon's daily pocket money cannot be so much, only 10,000 gold coins a day. Carmon had so much pocket money that a small amount of ten gold coins a day was enough for Nebula to eat and drink.
This is just a drizzle for Carmon, not to mention raising a destitute nebula, even if it is ten or a hundred, there is no pressure for Carmon.
However, Nebula politely rejected Carmon's kindness, and Nebula did not think of asking for money from others, such as Ante of the Alchemy Guild, or his own titular parents in the Lachett family
But in the end, all the choices were ruled out by Nebula, and the money he earned was used with peace of mind.
My brother has not been able to put his mind at ease until now for the 5,000 gold coins he borrowed from the store manager, for fear that the store manager will suddenly appear in front of him one day and ask him for the money viciously.
The same is true of the two teleportation scrolls that Carmon funded, although they usually play together, but they always have a sense of debt when facing Carmon.
Carl's proposal was to have Nebula go with him to clean up the school, or help other dorm mates with laundry, etc., although it was a bit tiring, but the salary was still quite good.
Nebula thought about it seriously and said sorry to Carl and rejected Carl's kindness. Because if you work like Carl said, whether it is rest time or meditation time, it will be greatly reduced, and maybe a year later, you will still be a magic apprentice of more than ten levels.
In the end, Arthur came up with a good idea, Arthur, as the only son of the Gilded Chamber of Commerce, naturally has a lot of valuable good things, one of which is a shop of about 20 square meters given to him by his father when Arthur was eight years old!
Although 20 square meters is a bit less for the store, the location of the store is a prime location in the business district. You must know that a store located in a prime location is not something that can be bought with money alone, and it is generally impossible to buy a store in a prime location unless you have a deep background or strong strength.
Cassini. Yuzark, that is, Arthur's father. Considering Arthur's age, he did not give the shop to him directly, but temporarily rented it out to an old friend's daughter.
Of course, Arthur has full ownership of the store, and if Arthur wants to return to the store, as long as he gives an order, the store will instantly become Arthur's private property inside and out.
Arthur is thinking about letting Nebula work in this shop, no matter what the outcome is, it is enough for Nebula to get enough gold to eat and drink in the academy cafeteria.
Nebula set off for the business district of the Enchanted Jungle early in the morning on the college's rest day, crossed Lake Elene, walked through a large forest of leafy trees, and played an extreme bungee jump at a height of two thousand meters, landing directly on the commercial district of the second area.
By the time we arrived at the prime location of the business district, it was nearly half past nine, and Arthur had said that it was nine o'clock for work, and Nebula was already half an hour late.
Nebula was also in a hurry at this time, but the flow of people in the prime area was too crowded, and coupled with Nebula's height of a child of 1.4 meters, Nebula couldn't see the shop signs on both sides of the street in the crowd.
A slender archer passed by Nebula, and said with his mouth open to the people beside him, "Hey! Partner, there is actually a shop in the prime location that specializes in herbs and ores!! That's too, isn't it!? Guarding the shop with tens of millions of gold coins to sell a few gold coins and a lot of herbs, isn't he fucking sick? β
The somewhat chubby magician next to the archer was stunned after looking in the direction the archer was pointing, and after a few seconds, the magician actually laughed, laughing and saying, "Hahaha~~~ The name of this shop is actually called Gilded Roses!! Looking at the old-fashioned wooden signboard, not to mention the gold-plated, I'm afraid I can't even afford the roses in the store! β
Nebula didn't pay much attention to the words exchanged between the two beside him, but when Nebula heard the words gilded rose and saw the direction the archer was pointing, Nebula was shocked.
I finally found it, a gilded rose!!
β ?????????????????? β
The gilded rose is located in the lower half of the prime location, and to put it mildly, in the corner of the prime location. Of course, the shops in prime locations are worth tens of millions even in the edges and corners, and even billions in the central core area.
The gilded rose signboard is a wooden signboard made of tara wood, and the four words gilded rose are neatly engraved with elf letters, and there is a lifelike rose carved behind the last word.
The gilded rose faΓ§ade is not spacious, and when the two wooden doors on the left and right are opened, you can see the items in the store at a glance.
The lower two floors of the large iron frame in the center of the store are filled with smelted ore samples, the middle two layers are placed with the crystals of various monsters and magic powders of various colors, and the upper two layers are sparsely placed with high-value items such as magic crystals and magic gems.
There were two people in the shop, one was a young girl of about eighteen years old who looked a little hot in leather armor, and the other was a young man of about thirteen years old who was thin in a black power suit.
The young girl seemed to be saying something to the young man, who bowed his head and said nothing, as if he were humbly being taught.
Nebula slowly walked into the shop before he gradually heard the young girl's reprimand to the young man
"Ike! How many times have I told you not to go to dangerous places like abandoned cities! Why are you so disobedient? The streets of the abandoned city are full of thugs and terrible killers who kill people without blinking. How did my father die? He was killed by a gang of thieves in an abandoned city!! How dare you go to the abandoned city alone to find some friends? Do you know how I spent the five years you were missing? If it weren't for President Yuzak's kindness in taking me in and encouraging me, I would have gotten angrier and angrier the young girl became, and at last she was on the verge of crying as she spoke.
Ike was very impatient when he saw the choked girl in front of him, and he kept stomping his feet in place, his head bowed early.
The emotions in Ike's eyes were complex and messy, revealing many, many things, but none of them could be translated into words.
"Sister, there are guests!" Ike whispered to the girl Nebula's arrival, and the heart finally fell.
The girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes indiscriminately, and hurriedly introduced herself to Xingyun: "Welcome to the Gilded Rose!" My name is Francis. Ife, is the manager of the gilded rose. What do you need? β
Nebula didn't follow Ifei's guidance to look at the goods, but silently took out a title deed of the store from the space ring and displayed it in front of Ifei.
When Yi Fei saw this title deed, his face became very pale, and his body was a little unstable on his feet. Although she knew that there would be such a day, she did not expect this day to come so quickly.
Ike glanced at Nebula fiercely after holding his sister, Nebula first looked at Ike stunned for a moment, and then said to Ife beside Ike, "Big sister, are you the store manager of the Gilded Rose?" I'm here to work, my name is Glar. Nebula, you can just call me Nebula or Starlet. β
When Ifei heard what Nebula said, she felt incredulous, and looked at Nebula with a shocked and confused look, as if she was in a dream.
"Store Manager Ife, can I call you Sister Effie directly? I think it's better to be kind to the people you work with. Seeing that Ife didn't react for a long time, Nebula said to Effie sincerely.
Ife finally came to her senses at this point, and she let out a long exhale, it turned out that he had not come to take back the shop.
President Yuzark temporarily leased the shop to himself because of his relationship with his father, and the rent was only a small part of the formality, but he knew very well that such a good thing could not last forever.
Although he has now received some care by virtue of his father's former relationship, with the passage of time, human affection will eventually dissipate.
Let's worry about it later! The first task now is to deal with the strange child who came to work with the title deed.
This child was dressed in luxurious and exquisite aristocratic costumes, and he spoke generously, kindly, and politely, could he be the child of some aristocratic friend of the Gilded Chamber of Commerce?
After noticing that his sister was gradually relieved, Ike slowly loosened his tense nerves, and he no longer paid attention to Nebula's movements, but casually picked up the ore on the iron frame and wiped the dust on it.
In just a short time, Nebula had already negotiated with Effie about working hours and wages and signed an employment contract, except for the part of the rent paid to the Gilded Chamber of Commerce, the rest of the income Effie accounted for seventy percent, and Nebula accounted for thirty percent.
Although Nebula repeatedly said that it would not be so much, Effie still insisted on this distribution. There is no way to do this, once Xingyun is not satisfied, maybe he will kick himself out with the title deed of the store. When the time comes, let alone being a store manager, even a waiter won't be able to do it.
After pushing a few times to no avail, seeing that Ife was still so persistent, Nebula didn't continue to be polite. After putting the employment contract with the two of their names into the space ring, Nebula began to wander around the store.
