Deep Sea Embers Chapter 162: “Nilu”

Duncan stared silently at Nilu, who was placed in the box.

It's just a very ordinary knuckle doll, and its image is very consistent with the "court girl" style popular in the city-state a century ago. It has beautiful blond curly hair and a lace dress. The joints of its arms are A more obvious old-fashioned spherical structure than Alice, the face is made of ceramic, and the mouth and eyes can see the iconic seam structure of the old-fashioned figure.

In all fairness, this doll is exquisitely crafted and kept in such good condition that it is hard to believe that it has been lying in a box for a century, although it is nowhere near as real as Alice. Compared to the same "doll", this little guy named "Nil" can also be described as beautiful.

A hundred years ago, Lucrecia bought another doll "Luni" from this shop that was paired with this little guy. ' was lying quietly in the box, in front of Duncan.

And Duncan himself just walked into this shop casually today, and his purpose at the beginning was just to force... to buy a wig for Alice, and to inquire about the maintenance of the doll by the way.

Fate is really a wonderful thing.

"It doesn't look like it's been around for a century at all," Duncan mused. "She's just a little dated."

"Elves have always been known for their durability - after all, we usually use them for a long time, and I can't boast of being a master at making dolls, and I should be better than many of my peers. I don't want to make them carefully. The children who come out can't even accompany them for a century or two."

"...I understand, but this is an antique for human beings," Duncan raised his eyebrows. He quickly woke up from his emotion and realized the well-preserved man in front of him. It's not a simple commodity, "I don't think I can afford this."

He didn't forget that a dagger he used a hundred years ago earned ordinary people's living expenses for more than a year from Mr. Morris. This beautifully and well-preserved doll in front of him can't be cheap. "Antique? I really didn't think about it that way," the shopkeeper smiled, with a happy expression on his chubby face. "Sold at cost—the cost of the year, one hundred and forty-two soras."

This time it was Duncan's turn to be surprised: "Why?"

"Maybe it's just fate," the shopkeeper said slowly, "Nilu has been lying quietly with me for many years, and no one who has a fate can take her away. This "sister" who was left alone "Actually very lonely, and today there are no guests here all day, but only you, the gentleman who loves dolls, talked to me about so many things, and happened to talk about the man who took Luni a hundred years ago. "Miss Lucrecia, I think this may be the guide of fate..."

"Fate..." The corner of Duncan's mouth trembled. He usually likes to use this word to deceive others. The old woman's eyes became strange, "So the real situation is that it can't be sold, right?"

Owner: "...it's fate."

"Because it has some ties to the cursed 'Abu Nomar' family, it can't be sold at all, right? "

"...It's really fate."

"Does this doll have other characteristics like curses? For example, if it is lost, it will be found by itself? Or it will go to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife while people are sleeping..."

The old woman finally opened her eyes and her voice was an octave higher: "I'm looking for a priest to exorcise evil spirits! I keep the certificate of exorcism..."

Duncan laughed: "Look, it's because someone suspected that this doll was cursed and couldn't be sold, right?"

The old woman: "..."

"I opened an antique shop in downtown," Duncan breathed. "An antique shop in downtown, you know."

"·I don't like dealing with business people, especially you," the old woman shook her head and sighed, "Well, that's exactly the reason, Nilu has been around for a long time. I couldn't sell it, and the more I put it on, the older I put it, so I just pressed the warehouse—if you really want it, take it at a discount of seventy-five soura, at least let me recoup the cost of finding a priest to exorcise evil..."

"Deal." Duncan agreed without waiting for the other party to finish.

In any case, he did have a huge interest in this doll, even if there is no evidence to prove that there is any connection between this little guy and Lucrecia, just based on the factor of "fate", he Also decided to buy this doll.

This is his subconscious reaction after he suddenly learned that "myself" has a pair of "children": I don't know when the two brothers and sisters will appear, and God knows what trouble will happen, and Now he has seen a thing related to Lucrecia - whether it is useful or not, get it around first and then study it slowly.

In this world of supernatural power and all kinds of weird things, this kind of "connection" can often play some role in the occult.

"Then "Nilu" will be handed over to you," the old lady of the store was a little stunned by Duncan's happy response, probably regretting why she stopped reporting a little price just now, but she soon shook her head, She pushed the box containing the doll forward, but before Duncan stretched out her hand, she couldn't help but say, "You have to take good care of this child... Although it can be seen that you are a gentleman who really loves dolls. , but let me remind you not to think of Nilu as a cheap commodity."

"Of course, @ Essence_Book House...j_h_s_s_d_c_o_m First. Post. Update. New~~" Duncan took the wooden box, closed the lid, and then looked at the wig and hair accessories he had just selected, "This is How much are two pieces together?":

"425 Sola, buy it now." Duncan suddenly showed a toothache.

In Xiacheng District, this is the living expenses for a family of residents for two months! But in Uptown...it's only enough to buy two "accessories" for the luxury goods of the rich.

He was even a little shaken at this moment, wondering if he should just let it go, but he quickly put away this kindness

This is the gift he promised to Alice (although Alice may be in a more subtle mood when she receives the gift)

Look, on the other hand, the price doesn't seem unacceptable considering what's been found in this doll shop today.

After comforting himself a little in his heart, Duncan let out a soft sigh and prepared to pay the money obediently.

It was just when he was paying the money that he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask one more question: "By the way, why did Lucrecia only buy Luni, but not her sister," Nilu"? "

"...Do you really want to know?" The shopkeeper showed a somewhat inscrutable expression upon hearing this, "This matter... is another secret related to the Abnomar family."

Duncan leaned closer subconsciously. "That makes me more curious."

"Then you should settle the bill first."

Duncan was taken aback, and he settled the bill with tears in his eyes: "Can you tell me now?"

"Oh, it's actually nothing," said the shopkeeper's old lady casually as she collected the money, "the children didn't have enough money back then—Lucrecia was in tears when she left, and said that she would have money in the future. I must take Nilu with me, but now I seem to have forgotten..."

Duncan: "..."

Is it because the old lady in front of me has a wonderful style of painting or is there some serious illness in the elves of this world?

On the Lost Country, which was swaying slightly with the waves, Alice returned to the upper deck after transporting the last batch of things to the cabin, and then saw the first time she was standing quietly near the side of the ship, as if she was thinking captain.

"Captain~" Miss Doll happily leaned over, "I delivered everything to the cabin! The ingredients and kitchen utensils were delivered to the kitchen, and other items were delivered to the captain's room!"

"Well," Duncan came back to his senses, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes focused on Alice, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Captain, are you okay now?" Alice looked Duncan up and down and asked hesitantly, "You suddenly looked strange before, were you really okay?"

Duncan shook his head. "Don't worry, little problem."

He is actually still a little confused now. His mind is full of the names Tyrian and Lucrecia suddenly popped up and the possible troubles behind them. The connected cursed doll, his thoughts are more difficult to calm down, but in the end, he still suppressed many words back~IndoMTL.com~ Regardless of whether there is a connection with the Queen of Frost, Alice is just a person who doesn’t know anything It's just a puppet, discuss some things with her... It's better to go to the illiterate Shirley.

At any rate, Shirley has a more cultured dog by her side.

He turned his head and looked at the pigeons that were staying on the deck. The figure of the latter flickered in the air for a moment, and then disappeared above the deck in a burst of fire.

Alice looked curiously at the place where the flame disappeared: "Is Ay going to 'deliver' again?"

"Well, not much this time," Duncan nodded slightly, then looked at Alice with a smile, a gift for you. "

Alice's eyes lit up: "A gift? Is it really a gift for me?! Captain, you really..."

Before Miss Doll could finish speaking, a swirl of green flames suddenly appeared above the deck next to it - Ai completed the teleportation from Perand to Homeless in the blink of an eye. In the meantime, a new batch of supplies appeared in Alice's eyes.

The puppet couldn't say the second half of the sentence. The first thing that caught her eye was a wig.
