Angel looked at the phantom painting in the shape of a boiler and had a guess in his mind.
"This seems to be... witch soup?"
The image of a boiler is very common, but a boiler that emits light pink smoke basically only refers to one thing in the wizarding world: witch soup.
This is not a rule, but a conventional concept.
This concept comes from a witch named Windsor. She was a very famous master of pharmacy and invented countless witch soups that are still famous today. At that time, the most commonly used logo of the Windsor Witch was a pink figure.
Smoke from the boiler.
At that time, there was already a common understanding in the wizarding world: the boiler with pink smoke represented witch soup.
With the passing of the Witch of Windsor, this tradition has not disappeared and has been circulated in the wizarding world. To this day, as long as you see the sign of pink smoke coming out of the boiler, you will basically not run away, it is witch soup.
"It seems that this is a shop selling witch soup." Angel thought to himself: "So, the owner of Bru is here to buy witch soup?"
Angel didn't think much and walked directly into the store.
The process of entering the store was very smooth, which surprised Angel... Because most of the wizarding world involves technical stores, and there are more or less barriers to entry. Depending on the level of the store itself, and
The strength levels and thresholds of the people who come are different.
There are also stores without thresholds, but the lack of thresholds often means that "restrictions" will be reflected in other places, for example, the price of goods will be more expensive.
Just when Angel was thinking like this, a figure stopped his progress.
When Bru Angel saw the other person's face, he subconsciously thought of Bru. But soon, he realized something was wrong. Although the appearance of the person in front of him was exactly the same as Bru, he was at least twenty times larger.
She is completely the height of a normal person. There is no natural aura around her body, and there are no butterfly wings on her back. She looks like an ordinary girl in a long skirt.
At this time, the girl who looked almost the same as Bu Lu said: "My name is Bu Lu No. 2, and I am the receptionist of this store."
The voice of the girl in the long skirt is also very similar to that of Bu Lu, but her eyes are not as smart as Bu Lu's.
"Bulu No. 2?" Angel seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the other person's neck. Under the smooth white skin, he could vaguely see the flash of light.
Seeing that flash of light, Angel realized that it was indeed an alchemy puppet.
Generally speaking, the energy source of alchemy puppets is near the navel, which is the best dividing point from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, and is also the best point for energy operation.
Also because the energy of the alchemy puppet is in the navel, when the alchemy puppet makes a sound, the energy will flow to the head through the internal pipeline. At this time, you can easily confirm the identity of the puppet by observing the neck.
After confirming the identity of the other party, and then looking at the complete interception posture of Bulu No. 2, Angel said with enlightenment: "Are you a receptionist or a qualification inspector?"
Angel's words seemed to trigger a certain voice-activated feedback on Bru-2.
"Guest, to enter Lucia's workshop, you need to sign a simple contract."
Sure enough, it came... After hearing the words of Bru No. 2, Angel immediately understood that it was not that the threshold did not exist, but that it would be triggered after entering the store.
"What contract?" Angel asked, with a hint of doubt in his tone... Contracts can be easily faked.
"Guests, please rest assured that it is not a paper contract, nor does it need to be bound by the power of the contract. It is a verbal contract that follows the heart."
Complying with the oral contract of the soul, to put it bluntly, has no binding force. It all depends on your own mental agreement. Even if you take the initiative to violate the oral contract, nothing will happen... As for the "inner demon"
"No. At most, it will make some people who have a strong sense of contract feel awkward inside for a while.
This is in line with the tone of the store.
After all, it seems strange to think that an ordinary store that you have never heard of asks you to sign a contract that is extremely binding and bound by the power of the contract.
"What verbal contract?" Angel asked.
Bru No. 2 immediately said: "The owner does not want the information in the store to be leaked, so he hopes that the guests can remain silent after leaving the store."
Angel understood it as soon as he heard it, it was a very ordinary verbal contract.
He did not hesitate and said calmly: "After I leave here, as long as it does not violate my personal ethics, I will not leak the people and things I saw in the store to any other person."
This is an agreement. There is no need to swear an oath or sign a contract. You only need to follow your heart and say these words, and it is considered a verbal contract.
After hearing Angel's words, Bru No. 2's eyes instantly changed from calm and cold to respectful and polite, and his tone also became warm: "Dear guest, please forgive me for my poor hospitality before. Welcome to Lu
Thea’s Workshop!”
Angel looked at the changed face of Bulu No. 2, and said silently in his heart: This is really real... Before, he was a guest, but now he has added the prefix "respect", which is exactly the same as Buru in the hotel.
"What do you want, my dear guest?" Bru No. 2 naturally got out of the way and no longer blocked Angel from entering the store.
As Angel walked inside, he asked, "Why are you called Bru No. 2?"
Bru No. 2 was stunned for a moment. He seemed a little surprised by Angel's question. Didn't ordinary guests already ask about witch soup? Why did he ask about her?
After being stuck for a long time, Bru No. 2 said: "This is the name the master chose for No. 2."
"What's your relationship with Bru?" Angel continued to ask.
Bru No. 2 hesitated for a while, then said: "I am the receptionist made by the master based on Bru."
Angel: "Why is your master based on Bu Lu? Is the owner of this shop related to Bu Lu?"
Bru No. 2 stood still, mosquito coils began to appear in his eyes, as if he didn't know how to answer.
After a long while, Bru No. 2 finally spoke, but it was not to answer Angel's question, but in a warm tone: "Dear guest, welcome to Lucia's workshop! I don't know what my distinguished guest is.
Need? Do you need Bru No. 2 to make some recommendations for you?"
Angel:...It seems that Bulu No. 2's IQ is not very high.
In other words, the owner of Bru-2 did not imprint these problems into Bru-2's thinking template.
Angel did not continue to embarrass Buru No. 2, but instead mentioned the reason for his visit: "I was introduced here by Buru."
Bulu No. 2 was stunned for two seconds before saying, "Is that so? Then I wonder what your distinguished guest needs?"
Angel: "..." Are you in a loop?
Angel thought for a while and did not immediately talk to Bru No. 2. Instead, he turned to look at the store.
Since Bru clearly said that its owner is in this store, he should probably be able to see it here.
The external hall of Lucia's workshop is not very large. Except for a decorative boiler in the middle, there are glass cabinets.
There are various kinds of witch soups in the cupboard. However, the witch soups are all wrapped in special black cloth, so you can't see the inner appearance at all, let alone smell the smell.
Looking at the bowls of products wrapped tightly in black cloth, if it were not said that the cupboard contained witch soup, someone would probably misunderstand that it was a bowl of ashes.
Angel didn't have much demand for witch soup, so he didn't look at the witch soup in the cupboard, but looked at the customers in the store.
There were six customers in the store. Except for one who was at the counter, talking to another "Bru I don't know how many," the others were gathered around a golden cabinet, chatting.
What puzzled Angel was that none of these six guests was Bulu's owner.
Angel still remembered that Bulu's owner was a young wizard with white hair and green eyes. Among these guests, there was not even a formal wizard, let alone a boy.
Angel looked back at the dumbfounded Bulu No. 2, and finally shook his head and walked to the counter.
He did not go to ask "Bru I don't know how many numbers" at the counter, but looked at a little old man in a classical robe who was checking out at the counter.
This is the only guest who is alone, and his strength is about the peak of a third-level apprentice.
From the perspective of emotional perception, this customer is obviously more calm than other customers. He is probably an old customer. Since he is an old customer, maybe he knows the owner of Buru?
Angel's arrival made the little old man a little nervous.
Angel did not hide the aura of a formal wizard. Even though he did not use coercion, it still made the little old man feel a little scared.
The color of his emotions was even dyed purple-black, which represented fear.
Angel stopped about three meters away from him. Although Angel had not spoken yet, the little old man had obviously noticed that Angel's target was him.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a respectful tone: "Dear Sir, I wonder what I can do for you?"
Angel said in the gentlest tone possible: "You seem to be familiar with this place. Are you a member of the Glory of Stars?"
Angel pointed out the reason why he came to him in the first sentence, and directly asked the question in the second sentence. This actually reassured the little old man: I am not here to cause trouble with you.
The little old man also heard what Angel meant. After breathing a sigh of relief, he replied: "I am a member of the Glory of Stars, but I am just an ordinary member."
Ordinary members are members who have not spent more than 999 magic crystals.
Angel: "Since you are a member, you should know Bru?"
The little old man glanced at Buru No. 2 behind Angel, then at Angel, and thought: "If you are referring to the natural elf Bulu, I have seen it before."
Angel: "That's it. It told me that its owner is here, but I don't seem to see its owner here."
What Angel meant was that he didn't see the boy with white hair and green eyes.
What the little old man understood was that nature elves are elemental elves, and those who can become their masters are basically formal wizards. And the customers in this shop are all apprentices, so they cannot be the masters of Bru.
Although the ideas are different, the final direction is similar.
The little old man: "Due to some factors, I cannot reveal the identity of Bulu's owner. However, you can go meet the owner of this workshop."
As the little old man spoke, he gave hints with rich expressions.
Angel was not stupid either, and immediately understood what the little old man meant.
When he mentioned that he was "unable to reveal his identity due to some factors," he kept glancing at Bru No. 2 and poking his finger at his heart.
This is clearly telling Angel that the so-called "force majeure factor" is the threshold of this store. It is also the verbal contract that Bru No. 2 mentioned when Angel came in before.
The little old man's second sentence asked Angel to meet the owner of this workshop. When he said this, he still did not put down the finger poking at his heart. This was actually a hint.
It shows that his second sentence is still related to "verbal contract".
The master of Bru, the master of the workshop... is it related to the verbal contract?
A vague conjecture came to Angel's mind, but he felt that this conjecture was a bit ridiculous.
——The owner of the workshop must be Bulu’s owner, right?
But it shouldn't be.
Angel did not ask this question, but nodded gently to the little old man and expressed his gratitude.
The little old man waved his hand and stepped back. After making sure that Angel was not paying attention to him, he rushed out of the store.
Angel didn't pay much attention to the little old man's cautious attitude. There was a huge difference between apprentices and ordinary people; between wizards and apprentices, the gap was even greater, comparable to a chasm in the sky.
Coupled with the naughty character of many wizards, the little old man's caution is very normal among apprentices.
Angel ignored the little old man who left, but turned around and said to Bru No. 2: "Take me to see the owner of the workshop."
After a pause for a second, Bru No. 2 said: "Please wait a moment, I need to contact the owner before I can make a decision."
For the next period of time, Bru-2 seemed to be down, standing there dumbly.
It wasn't until half a minute later that Puru No. 2 woke up. However, at this time, Puru No. 2's eyes were not as dull as before, and they were a little more agile.
Bru No. 2 looked at Angel up and down as if seeing Angel for the first time.
After a moment, Bulu No. 2 said calmly: "You were introduced by Bulu?"
As soon as he heard Bru No. 2 speak, Angel guessed that the alchemy puppet in front of him should have changed its "inner core".
"Are you Bru's master?" Angel asked.
Bru No. 2 nodded: "Yes... I probably know what you want from me. Come on, I'll wait for you behind the workshop."
After speaking, Bru No. 2 lowered her head. Two seconds later, when she raised her head again, the agility in her eyes disappeared and she returned to the normal state of an alchemy puppet.
"Dear guest, the master has opened the guest's permission to go to the workshop laboratory. Guest, please follow me."
Bru No. 2 bowed to Angel, and then made a gesture of leading the way.
Angel did not refuse and followed Bru No. 2 to the side of the workshop hall.
After passing a curtain, they came to a wooden corridor.
After walking forward for about twenty meters and passing a corner, Angel saw a laboratory with an open door.
"This is the master's laboratory." Bru No. 2 stopped at the entrance of the laboratory, seemingly not intending to enter.
Angel looked around the laboratory, especially after sensing the magic pattern circuits around him. After confirming that there were no dangerous traps here, he stepped into the laboratory.
As soon as he entered this pure white laboratory, Angel immediately smelled a strong smell of herbs.
Following the source of the herbal smell, Angel looked over.
On one side of the laboratory, there stood a large boiler steaming with colorful mist. All the smell of herbs came from the boiler.
However, Angel was more concerned about the people standing by the boiler than the witch soup refining boiler.
It was a girl wearing a large wizard robe, with long pure white hair and green eyes...
