Chapter 46: The Golden Bell and the Bow
It was a rough night for Lisa, first with the harassment of Alifa and Rogget, then with Nebula's timely intervention, and finally with the two of them fleeing under Nebula's magic.
Lisa feels like a dream, and this kind of heroic rescue of beauty only appears in novels, although Nebula is just a child, but when Nebula knocks the two gangsters away and saves Lisa, the image of Nebula in Lisa's mind gradually becomes taller.
Nebula and Lisa slowly returned to Lisa's hut in the sky city, Lisa saw that Nebula was silent along the way, and the usual Nebula was like two people, Lisa thought that Nebula was worried about Alifa and Rogett's revenge, so when she just returned home, Lisa said to Nebula in a serious voice: "If you are worried about the guards and the White Feather Clan that Alifa and Rogott said, then you can worry in vain, the two of them are only responsible for patrolling the streets, and they have nothing to do with the guards. Moreover, the White Feather Clan has always maintained a friendly and mutually helpful alliance with humans, and it is impossible to offend a human magician because of the two gangsters of the White Feather Clan, so don't worry about cheering up! ”
Nebula was a little stunned at first after hearing Lisa's comfort, and then a warm feeling surged in his heart.
It turns out that Sister Lisa has been caring about herself, so she has to cheer up even more, what is it to find a kitten's necklace? I'm sure I'll find that golden bell tomorrow!!
Nebula was visibly shaken, and he recounted the events that had happened between him and the kitten Naraku after taking Poda for a walk in the evening, and even told him in detail about his promise to Uncle Allison to find the Golden Bell.
It dawned on Lisa that Nebula was worried about this one.
I don't know if Nebula knows about Allison as a person, but Lisa knows very well that the most important thing about Allison is more important than those two gangsters!
Allison is the twelfth elder among the twenty-one elders, although he is not as good as the eight elders who guide the future of Sky City, but Allison's status in Sky City is only second to these eight, and it is still an unattainable existence for civilians like Lisa.
However, I didn't expect that after Elder Allison disappeared recently due to disagreement with the elders of the Presbyterian Congregation, he actually lived alone in the cabin in the Sky Garden.
And Lisa didn't expect Allison to say such sensual words to a cat, "Be careful of your liver, little baby", even if it is rumored that Elder Allison likes cats very much, Lisa just thinks that it is ordinary people's love for small animals.
Lisa suddenly fell silent after listening to Nebula's account of Allison, and Nebula didn't know why Lisa was silent, so Nebula could only wait for Lisa motionless like a stone.
It took a long time for Lisa to come back to her senses, after all, it was something related to the Elders, maybe for Nebula, who didn't know anything, it would be good to just find the bell, but for the lonely and helpless Lisa, this was a good opportunity to be able to connect with the Elders, even if it was enough to maintain an ordinary friendship with the Elders.
If he had been able to get acquainted with Elder Allison through this incident, then gangsters like Alifa and Rogett would not dare to make a move on him at all.
"Little Star! If it's okay, take a shower and go to bed! Tomorrow we'll get up early and go find Naraku's Golden Bell. Lisa yawned and slurred at Nebula.
Lisa felt that she was more tired than any other day before, she was tired enough from working from noon to night, and with the quarrel between Alifa and Rogett, Lisa even felt more mentally exhausted than ever.
Nebula saw that Lisa was already tired, and the question that was about to blurt out came to an abrupt end because he saw Lisa, who was yawning.
"Do you want to wash with your sister?" Lisa asked Nebula as she walked towards the bathroom.
Nebula shook his head and politely refused, because when he was cleaning the library today, he saw a book on secular etiquette, which talked about some things about the incompatibility between men and women, and if it was yesterday, maybe Nebula wouldn't have so many concerns.
Lisa didn't ask much, just walked straight into the bathroom door and waited for Lisa to come out wrapped in a bath towel and carry the hot air, and then Nebula continued to enter.
By the time Nebula finished taking a shower, it was late at night, and Lisa had already fallen asleep, and Nebula had fallen asleep after entering Lili's room
★?????????????????? ★
The morning came again with a dazzling light, and for the nebula living in the abyss of ice and snow, such a dazzling sun could not be seen enough.
After breakfast, Lisa and Nebula walked briskly towards the Sky Garden, and Nebula asked Lisa about the thing she hadn't been able to ask yesterday, which was the ticket for the flying boat.
After listening to what Nebula said, Lisa didn't have the slightest contempt for the teacher who forgot to pay for the journey, and even gritted her teeth at the Shami who deceived her feelings and stole people's money, it was obvious that Lisa had completely regarded Nebula as her own, even if it wasn't as close as a relative, at least at the level of a friend.
But when asked by Nebula how to solve the travel expenses, Lisa was also a little nerve-wracking, she was just a commoner, and her monthly salary was only forty gold coins at most, and Lisa couldn't do anything about a huge number of five thousand gold coins.
When Nebula took out the alchemy materials from the space ring and asked Lisa for the price, Lisa could only ask three questions and shook her head.
Even if Lisa could conclude from the energy fluctuations emitted by the materials that some of the alchemy materials that Nebula took out were worth a lot, she didn't know if she didn't know.
If there is no accurate positioning, then the item will be sold at a loss, and it may even be a loss.
Lisa knew that she couldn't do anything about these things, so she persuaded Nebula to want to sell these alchemy materials now, she said to Nebula: "We don't know the true price of these materials, although we can sell a material for 5,000 gold coins at will, but if it is something worth 500,000, 5 million, or even 50 million, wouldn't you lose a lot of money if you only sell it for 50,000?" If you really want to sell these materials, you can ask Elder Allison after finding the Golden Bell, he is most familiar with magic materials, and he still arranged the magic circle in the Sky Garden. ”
Xingyun also felt that it made sense, he could have bought five million or fifty million lollipops, but if he only bought 500,000 lollipops, then he would definitely be very aggrieved after knowing the true price of this thing.
After a while, Nebula and Lisa came to the Sky Garden, and of course Boda who followed Lisa, maybe Boda also knew that today was to make up for the mistakes he had made, and Boda did not run around after arriving at the Garden like he did yesterday afternoon, but obediently followed Nebula and Lisa.
When Nebula finds the spot where Poda and Naraku met yesterday, Lisa and Nebula begin a careful search.
I searched carefully through the flowers, on the grass, under the wooden benches, and even every leaf on the way, but when I found the corner where I met Allison, I couldn't find anything.
Nebula, who doesn't believe in evil, and Lisa seriously searched for it again, and the result was still the same.
In this way, Nebula and Lisa went from morning to noon, and after lunch, they continued to find Lisa, who was still full of energy in the morning, and now she was slumped on a wooden chair in the park with a sweat.
Only Nebula is still looking for it, even if he is so tired that his legs and feet are weak; Even if it gets dusty; Even when he was lying on the ground looking for it, he was ridiculed by the White Feather Clan for a walk, and Nebula still didn't give up.
My brother once said: If you give up, there is no hope, and even if there is only a slight possibility, as long as you don't give up, you may be able to turn that hope into reality, so don't give up hope until the end!!
Nebula once again searched the same route that Poda and Naraku had taken yesterday, and unlike before, Nebula had collected all the leaves, petals, or feathers dropped by the White Feather Clan on the ground and threw them into a nearby garbage bin.
The search method of the nebula has also changed a bit, and the nebula, which was originally searched by the naked eye, only groped on the ground with both hands, and the eyes were just tools to assist the arm to grope the ground.
If Nebula learns to use spiritual power to explore, maybe it won't be so troublesome, but because there are very few books and magical knowledge in the Sky City Library and He Ke's collection, Nebula has not systematically learned the use of magic and spiritual power at all.
However, this slow search was not a little bit stronger than the previous search with the eyes, and small stones, thin sticks, and insects were depicted one after another in the perception of the nebula's palm.
The outer body is cold and smooth, with a bump and a groove, isn't this the golden bell I was looking for? ?
When Nebula found the golden bell, a sense of joy and a great sense of accomplishment filled Nebula's entire body and mind.
Facing the sunset, Nebula caught the golden bell with his index finger and thumb, and even though the sunset was still a little dazzling, Nebula still stared intently at the golden bell or the sunset.
Tears fell from my eyes one by one, I don't know if it was because of today's hard work and fatigue or because of the dazzling sunset.
Nebula wiped away his tears with his dusty sleeves, and he couldn't wait to run to Lisa not far away.
After all, in Nebula's thoughts, Lisa came here to help him find the golden bell, although the golden bell was found by himself, but if he didn't have Lisa to accompany him in the search at the beginning, he would have given up and said that it was not necessarily.
Lisa was also happy for Nebula after learning that Nebula had found the Golden Bell, although she had planned to take credit with Nebula at the beginning, and use the Golden Bell as an opportunity to establish a friendship with Elder Allison, but after careful search over and over again, Lisa had given up completely.
She even wondered if Allison had taken revenge on Nebula for finding the lost golden bell in advance, and then made Nebula kneel on the ground like a fool and desperately search for it.
"Meow~~~Meow~~~" At this time, a black cat appeared in front of Nebula and Lisa, and Boda immediately screamed and rushed forward when he heard this sound, but Lisa held it down hard.
Nebula cautiously walked in front of the black cat and slowly crouched down.
Right! It should be Naraku, with indifferent eyes and a stinky personality, there shouldn't be any other black cats like this except Naraku.
Nebula handed the golden bell he was holding in his right hand to Naraku, who just flicked the bell with his kitten's paw and then retracted it.
Nebula smiled dumbly when he saw this scene, could he have become stupid? How is it possible for a cat to hang a bell for itself?
But Nebula couldn't find a string that could hang a bell for the black cat for a while, and just when Nebula was a little anxious, he suddenly thought of the thing in the space ring!
A red bow that Milia gave herself as a parting gift!
Since Nebula's playmate is only Milia, who is a neighbor, Nebula's ears and eyes are not blind to the making of bows.
Nebula untied the bow first, then tucked the red ribbon into the small hole above the bell, folded it like this, crossed it again, folded it again, and threaded this end through it
The last red bow with a golden bell in the center is complete!
Nebula slowly put the red bow around Naraku's neck, and Naraku took two steps back, but for some reason, it didn't turn and run away.
After Nebula tightened the filament at one end of the bow, the bow with the golden bell hung neatly around Naraku's neck.
Naraku lowered her head, as if she was very curious about the extra red ribbon and bell around her neck, and kept fiddling back and forth with her two paws.
Seeing that Naraku liked his work very much, Nebula's heart was very happy.
Seeing Naraku's cute appearance when he played with the bell, Nebula seemed to understand why Allison, such a stout uncle, would like kittens
