She Is Not a Witch Chapter 99: Mysterious Chamber of Commerce in the West
"Hello, is there anything this lady needs?" A man in a neat black dress came out from behind the table in the store.
"I saw it outside, and I was a little curious, so I came in to take a look." Lorraine Hill explained in this way, and his eyes simply glanced at the inconspicuous badge on the man's collar, which was painted with silver-rimmed night flowers .
The corners are the background of silver veins, and the middle is purple glazed petals, in which black lines are used to outline the lacquer night flower, which is quite mysterious and beautiful.
This is the new version of the Chamber of Commerce's crest. Lorraine Hill vaguely remembers that when he left the Western Continent in five or six years, someone in the Chamber of Commerce proposed several revision plans to him, and this was what he agreed to later.
The Silver Leaf Lacquer Night Flower Badge means that this person is a middle-level person with real power in the chamber of commerce. Generally, he is awarded at this age only if he has outstanding performance. Judging by his conversation, he is indeed quite decent, Lorraine Hill He secretly graded this member of his own chamber of commerce.
"Even if you just take a look and understand, we welcome you, please." He didn't seem to be angry, but simply made a gesture of please, moved out of the way, and introduced Lorraine Hill.
"Because our chamber of commerce has just arrived in the east and set up a branch, there are not many physical objects here, but some small models and pictures can help you easily understand the history of the Carites chamber of commerce, and what can be provided to you help."
He walked forward, and now the store is indeed a bit empty, and many platforms are empty, but there are still some standing drawing boards, which depict the appearance of various products with realistic oil paintings.
The largest painting in the center occupies an eye-catching position. It is about five meters high, almost as high as three Lorraine Hills. Turning in the waves, the thick fort was emitting incandescent flames, the golden shells pierced the sky, and there was still an airship floating in the sky.
"This is a picture recorded in the midsummer of 1700 in the third era, which depicts the highest masterpiece of our chamber of commerce, the majestic appearance of the 'Aglaia'-class battleship among the three goddess battleships, in the battle with the Crimson Empire Blooming glory in the great war, destroying countless warships of the empire."
"Although the war is gone, our Carites Chamber of Commerce still retains the excellent quality and quality requirements. The Chamber of Commerce originated from spices, flourished in shipbuilding, and later involved alchemy, wine making, machinery, steam turbines, magic Furnaces, extraordinary pharmaceuticals and various fields.”
Speaking, the man walked to the side and pulled down the velvet cloth hanging on a booth, revealing another beautiful oil painting.
In the picture is a harvested orchard. The orange trees are neatly arranged beside the aisle full of fallen leaves, extending to the distance. Among the deep green branches and leaves, the plump and orange fruits are heavy, bending the branches, and Beside some fruit trees, several maids in long skirts stood on the ladder and carefully cut off the fruits with scissors, and then put them into the fruit baskets beside them. In the picture with dark background, the orange fruits are particularly prominent, making the People can't help but want to touch it, and in the lower left corner of the picture, there is a small basket with a few bottles of OEM wine bottles with text written on them, and the amber wine in the fine sunlight A little halo is refracted below.
"This is a picture depicting the orchard of our Chamber of Commerce. The Carites Chamber of Commerce is rich in all kinds of fresh fruits. Unfortunately, due to the long distance, it is difficult to transport them to the east for everyone to taste. However, we have specially designed new wines for fruits. , Cointreau wine, its mellow aroma can make you feel the tranquility and leisure of the southern orchard in summer."
"It looks really good, but unfortunately I don't drink much." Of course Lorraine Hill knows Cointreau, she has visited the orchard of the chamber of commerce before, but the real situation is still slightly different from the painting The difference.
She vaguely remembers that most of the fruit pickers are aunts and uncles, not maids, and the fruit used for wine making is also a kind of bluish orange. The painting here is probably to match the color of the wine. Ripe orange bar.
"May I ask what you are interested in, miss, and I may be able to help you." There was no anger in his voice, or he didn't care about such trivial matters.
"I'll think about it." Lorraine Hill turned his head and looked at the booths in the store. Many of them had oil paintings, and only a few had models and real objects.
Lorraine Hill took a small step to a booth with a small golden windmill. The delicate little windmill on the velvet cloth here was emitting light music. Compared with the traditional music box, it The voice is more varied and complex, and it can roughly simulate some singing voices.
"This is the third-generation 'Canary' music box developed by our chamber of commerce. The Chamber of Commerce will also provide the latest music discs, which you can purchase as needed to add more music to play.”
"It's the third generation..." Lorraine Hill was thoughtful. She was only the second generation when she was in the southern border. At that time, she talked with Vimiya about the development of this music box. In an environment with electronic equipment, there is a limit to using classical mechanical triggers to produce sound, so I had to put it aside for the time being.
Although there are magical creations such as phonographs, their principle has nothing to do with alchemy or science. The sound recorded in it will gradually become distorted with the change of magic particles, and it cannot be maintained for a long time. It can only be used to record some Conversational sound, but still inappropriate for music.
"Yes, our Chamber of Commerce hired the famous master Lanli, a representative figure in the music industry, to transform and design for us, and only then did the third generation of works come into being. In addition, Master Lanli also invented many magic speakers, Works such as loudspeaker fountains, neon lights, sound fountains, cochlear phonographs.”
"Master Lanli, is that Master Lanli from Hoplander?" Lorraine Hill asked with a pretended surprised expression.
"Yes, this master is a leader in the music industry, and he has made good friends with two generations of famous singers in the world. He is a household name." Seeing Lorraine Hill exclaiming, a smile appeared on his face, Continue to explain.
"Then I want to buy this." Lorraine Hill blinked. In fact, she was also a little curious about what improvements Lan Lier has made to break through to more than two hundred timbres.
"We only have three samples of this 'Canary' music windmill so far. It may be difficult to lower the price, but you are the first customer of our store after all, so we can give you a certain discount for publicity. It can be purchased with 24 gold coins."
"24 gold coins, it's so expensive." Lorraine Hill was slightly speechless. At this price, he could buy a house in the small town of Clancia.
"Because it's not easy to make, the price is really unaffordable, please forgive me." This person is still smiling, as if he believes that the lady in front of him can afford this music windmill.
"Then I'll take another look." Lorraine Hill shook his head slightly, expressing that he still had to think carefully.
"Okay." He continued to walk ahead to introduce Lorraine Hill.
"This is currently the most advanced Magic Steam Turbine model in Crancia. Its efficiency and power far exceed those ordinary goods on the street outside, and we also provide a one-year warranty service. Presumably you are the first time I have heard of this kind of service, but this is our trust and pride in the quality of our products. It can be used not only for large ships and airships, but also for many industrial equipment, becoming an excellent and stable power source, which makes you Take advantage of the competition with your opponents." I have to admit that this man is indeed a powerful salesperson, if Lorraine Hill didn't know that this is his own thing, he might be tempted.
…
"This row is a special potion called 'Beautiful Woman under the Moon'. There are four potions for detoxification and purification, three potions for whitening and self-cultivation, and two potions for youth, which can make you more beautiful... "
…
"The above is the 'Black Rain' level mechanical crossbow, which is a perfect creation of gold quality, and the 24 blood blade enchanted crossbow bolts attached to it can easily break through the defense of the sixth-level monsters, and it is silent when fired. It is easy to use, even a 7-year-old child can easily operate it. The name 'Black Rain' is to commemorate the eldest lady of our chamber of commerce, who defeated the enemy killer cavalry that attacked her in 1684 of the Third Epoch. According to the famous story of Purang, it is said that it was raining at night, and the enemy was a powerful cavalry in black."
"Miss of the Chamber of Commerce sounds scary." Lorraine Hill bit her lower lip lightly, thinking to herself who came up with this name.
"No, no, no, although it sounds like a very sinister scene, the eldest lady of our chamber of commerce is indeed a gentle and beautiful girl. That battle was also unavoidable. After the war, the eldest lady forgave some who attacked her. personnel, didn't kill them." But they went to jail and labor, Lorraine Hill blinked.
Seeing that the witch girl in black hat and black skirt was not very interested in this weapon, the man once again led Lorraine Hill to the side, which was a corner of the temple, and there was a special booth inside. , surrounded by red ropes to block people.
"Our Chamber of Commerce does not have many costumes and jewelry, but the style is very suitable for you, Miss Witch. I think you will have some ideas after seeing this painting." Seeing that he said so confidently, Lorraine Hill fell Also raised a bit of curiosity.
"Really?"
Afterwards, the man crossed the rope, carefully and slowly removed the velvet curtain on the oil painting, revealing the dreamy and soft picture inside.
In the background of the oil painting is a dark room, the window is half open and the halo of light falls on the girl sitting on the wooden chair. Thousands of words narrated that she was wearing a black and red complicated dress, with her hands lightly placed in front of her body, one side of her cheeks was illuminated by the sun, while the other side was in the shadows, vividly and vividly setting off the delicate whiteness of the girl's skin, while in the light He also carefully drew some dust particles, giving the picture a kind of hazy and dreamy beauty.
This painting... Lorraine Hill slightly opened his mouth.
She saw at a glance that it was herself in the painting, but why was she here?
There seem to be quite a few portraits and statues of himself in Clancia and the Empire, but in fact most of them are drawn based on the pictures in some photo stones, which really let Lorraine Hill himself sit in front of the painter, The thing about asking the other party to draw a portrait actually happened only once, and that was when she was enrolled in Emenas that year, because she didn't have enough money to buy clothes in Servis's store, so she asked the other party to keep a painting.
At the beginning, Serves said that he would not let the painting be circulated casually, but why did it appear here? In addition, the people of the Carites Chamber of Commerce really don’t know that the painting is their own. Many of her identities , In fact, it was slowly exposed later, it is hard to say that Lorraine's identity as a student in Emenas was not guessed by others later.
"What is the painting in this painting?" Lorraine Hill lowered the brim of his hat slightly and asked in a low voice.
"The one in the painting is Lacey, the eldest lady of our chamber of commerce." His voice softened rarely, and he looked at the painting with admiration in his eyes.
After a while, he turned around and introduced Lorraine Hill, the legendary head of the chamber of commerce, and the ups and downs of Karites' fate.
"...Since then, although Miss Lacey is no longer in the chamber of commerce, her appearance, voice, and will have been passed down."
Hey, I'm not dead yet. Lorraine Hill wanted to say something, but in the end he decided not to speak. He just stared at the man intoxicated in self-expression with his eyes.
"Well, he is indeed a very beautiful person." Lorraine Hill turned his face away, not looking at the person in front of him.
"Sorry, I seem to have said unnecessary words for a while, which troubled you, miss." The man seemed to wake up from his intoxication and fantasy, he put down the velvet curtain again, and then walked out of the fence.
"As you saw just now, our Chamber of Commerce also sells some special styles of clothing, which match your style very well, so I recommend it to you." He walked to the counter and asked a clerk to take out A thick picture album, which uses exquisite and bright colors to describe a series of black and red witch style, or dark wind dresses, and said that this kind of clothes is very popular in the south of Clancia, and many Emena Sri Lankan students will also wear this kind of clothes.
In the Western Continent, Emenas can be said to be the first-class school, and its popular style in the school will also affect the younger generation outside the school.
"I remember that Emenas has to wear a school uniform, because I also graduated there before." In order to avoid meaningless comparisons among students, Emenas's students have many restrictions on what to wear.
"I didn't expect Miss to be a top student of Emenas. Yes, Emenas does have requirements on what to wear. Most of the time it is the school uniform of different colleges and grades, but in some daily gatherings, leaving school There are no mandatory requirements for dressing when playing or on holidays.”
"It seems that it is like this..." Lorraine Hill recalled the past, it seemed that at some parties and weekends, everyone wore different clothes, and Lettice's clothes were especially common, almost every time Nothing is the same.
"Do you have a style you like~IndoMTL.com~Just leave a deposit, we will tailor the clothes according to your figure, and make a suitable boutique for you within one month."
I really don’t forget about business everywhere, maybe that’s why I got this position, Lorraine Hill sighed in his heart, on the one hand, he was happy that his chamber of commerce had such an excellent salesman, on the other hand, he was also worried whether the chamber of commerce would be too Immersed in earning benefits and go astray.
Well, I have to restrain my desire to control a little bit. If the members of the chamber of commerce don't make a big mistake, don't blame them. After all, they also have their own lives and things they yearn for. Do evil and forget principles.
"I'll think about it, let's choose this one, and also include the windmill music box I saw before." In order to take care of his own business and verify whether the product is qualified, Lorraine Hill finally paid for it.
Of course, it's hard to say where the money came from in the end.
