I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

Turn on the light, the warm yellow light illuminates the not-so-spacious storefront, and the dim light flows on the smooth wooden floor.

You Xia looked around, the decoration of the store was unexpectedly simple, without any gorgeous decorations and furnishings, the walls on all sides including the ceiling were all smooth brownish-yellow solid wood, giving people a heavy, elegant and simple feeling.

After systematic transformation, the original storefront of the jewelry store and the reception room at the back were opened up and connected by a ring-shaped counter.

After entering the door, the first thing you see is the couch on the camel wool carpet, followed by the counter, and finally the multi-layered solid wood booths inlaid on the walls on both sides.

At present, the booth is still empty, and there is nothing to see.

You Xia walked straight through the aisle between the sofa and the wall, walked around the circular counter, and walked into the inner room. In addition to the lockers against the wall, there were several lockers of different heights standing on the ground in the center. Cuboid stand.

Just like a showcase in a museum, there is a glass cover above the booth, and the glass lamps hanging upside down shine on it, making the glass cover reflect a clear and dreamy light.

These booths should be used to display representative perfumes in the future, Yuxia speculated.

Passing through the vertical showcases of different heights, Youxia opened the door of the stairwell hidden in the wall, and went upstairs to visit.

There are two rooms on the second floor, the outer one is the reception room, the inner one is a small warehouse, and the third floor has only one bedroom including the living room. The decoration of several rooms still maintains the simple and elegant style of the first floor, whether it is black The solid wood lamp stand and the silver branch pattern wallpaper on the wall all create a dark and old atmosphere.

You Xia thought that such a place would be very suitable for a pharmacist to live in.

Thinking of the pharmacist, You Xia suddenly had a certain guess in his mind, and immediately searched the whole house carefully, and after confirming that there were no complicated mechanical equipment upstairs or downstairs, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief—fortunately, the perfume It is not necessary to adjust it yourself.

Afterwards, he lazily leaned down on the sofa on the second floor, opened the game menu to check the products of the new store, and saw that among the row of dark icons on the panel, the first three icons were already lit up, and the names of the three perfumes were respectively They are called "Wen Xue", "Happy" and "Tryst".

The three names, one is the object, the other is the emotion, and the other is the action, all of which are very abstract without exception, and it is difficult to imagine the corresponding smell.

You Xia couldn't help being curious about their smell, so she opened the interface of the perfume shop in the mall.

On the panel, in addition to three bottle options with different names corresponding to different concentrations and volumes of perfume, there are also purchase options such as fragrance test paper, samples, and packaging gift boxes.

You Xia browsed through it briefly. The essence and fragrance were too expensive. He didn't need to buy this kind of perfume now, so he only bought a softer eau de toilette with a lower concentration.

After a while, the three perfumes that were unlocked for the first time appeared on the coffee table in front of him.

The perfume bottle is very small and exquisite. The cap is engraved with fine carvings. The transparent frosted crystal glass bottle can clearly show the color of the perfume in it. The surface of the bottle body is printed with the corresponding perfume name and pattern. Delicate, it is estimated that it will be very popular with women.

Along with the perfume is an introduction book in the form of an invitation.

You Xia first opened the "Wenxue" manual, which described: [Walking on the dry grass in early spring, the faint sunlight shines on the crystal white snow, and the melted snow moistens the dry grass, exuding a clean and soft fragrance. fragrance. 】

Good guy, after reading the introduction, I am even more confused!

Fortunately, there are clear pre-, middle-, and post-harmonic ingredients written in the instruction manual. You Xia took a quick look and found that this is actually a plant-based perfume.

However, he will not be able to taste the corresponding back notes for a while, and now he can only smell the top and middle notes first.

Immediately, he sprayed the perfume on the test paper and shook it lightly. After a while, he smelled a cool and elegant fragrance floating on it. After a few minutes, it gradually transformed into a scent stained with morning dew. The smell of grass and leaves, with a moist and cold feeling, makes people feel inexplicably relaxed and comfortable.

Although everyone's perception of fragrance is different, after smelling the smell and looking at the introduction of "Wenxue" in the manual, You Xia thinks that this really fits the scene of "melting snow in early spring" described by it. .

Sure enough, the things produced by the system are still very secure.

You Xia raised his interest, and immediately picked up the "Happy" introduction book, and when he saw the words on it, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Joy: [I stare at your young figure just out of the bath, at your naked phantom lying on the white sheet, your touch makes me happy, fascinated, intoxicated...you know how to drive me crazy. 】

Youxia gasped slightly, he thought that the meaning of "joy" was just an emotion, but now it seems that this is not the case.

It can only be said that this introduction is quite concrete, just looking at the text, a picture can't help but emerge in my mind.

Then he picked up the bottle of wine-red perfume and sprayed a little on the test paper. After waiting for a while, he smelled a rich and warm floral fragrance quietly flowing into the air, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

The smell of roses in the floral fragrance is slightly stronger, not a dry floral fragrance, but rather a damp, strong and erosive smell from flowers in steaming water, with a hint of fermented wine fragrance, which really corresponds to the " Insanely drunk" description.

The last "Taste" perfume is pink and purple. After a short rest, Youxia tried its scent.

Compared with the previous one, the scent of "Taste" is slightly lighter, and it smells like a sweet and fruity scent, which is a bit pure and innocent.

But since it was named "Testant", it shouldn't be that simple, so You Xia quickly opened its introduction book again.

[We met by the river in the morning light, peeped at the party at noon, tempted each other in the woods at dusk, kissed each other in the garden at night, fantasized about love in the melodious music... and finally, remember Cleverly concealing it from their respective families. 】

I don't know if it's because of reading this text, originally Youxia smelled only a sweet and harmless fruity fragrance, but at this time it gradually turned into a mysterious, gentle, rich and charming soft floral fragrance, which was also tasted by him. There is a hint of mystery and ambiguity intertwined.

You Xia put away the perfume and the test paper, the smell of them still seemed to linger in his nose.

After smelling it around, he personally prefers the cool and elegant fragrance of "Wenxue". If he wants to choose a perfume for Wood Elf, this one is undoubtedly the most suitable.

But I have to say that the smell of "pleasure" is really impressive. Just a little bit can remind people of the dark and surging crazy picture. In contrast, "tryst" is a little ordinary, but it is suitable for everyday The most powerful one, it is estimated that when it is launched, the sales of the three perfumes will not be bad.

After learning about the newly unlocked products, dawn gradually came, and the pale sky filled the French windows leading to the balcony.

You Xia was too lazy to go back to the cosmetics store, so he went downstairs and locked the doors and windows, turned off the lamps on the first and second floors, and lay down directly on the bed in the bedroom on the third floor to rest.

The morning sun shone on the sycamore trees on both sides of Nightingale Street. At a glance, the whole street was golden. Two tall figures wrapped in cloaks walked through the street under the trees, which was extremely inconspicuous.

"The city of Los Angeles seems to have changed a lot," the man who spoke had a soft voice, but was inexplicably cold. He looked at the strange clothes of the passers-by on the street, and smiled softly, "That terrible man I'm really quite capable of being deported and wanted by the two countries as an elf!"

The black cloak beside him just walked silently without speaking.

Suddenly the man stopped, pointed his pale and delicate fingers to the shop at the corner in front of him: "Look, it's this milk tea shop, the business is still booming now, if I don't do something, I'm sorry for his treatment of me revenge?"

"Sir," the black cloak finally said, with a low and hoarse voice, "The wood elves are not easy to deal with. I found out that there is not only one wood elf in the city of Los, but there seem to be many outside the city."

The man continued to walk along the street, and said lightly as he walked: "If you can't handle it, then burn down a few of his shops, and do something to ease the anger in my heart."

"His shop seems to be built with magic, and the surface is almost an illusion."

"Then burn the warehouse, it won't even make the warehouse an illusion," the man said lightly, "Do you still have the explosive potion?"

Black Cloak replied: "Yes."

"Then do it like this!" The man said with a smile, a gust of wind blew in his face, and he lifted the hem of his cloak, and he could vaguely see his turquoise clothes.

The sheriff happened to be patrolling and passing by in front of him, Shi'an flattened the arc of the corner of his mouth displeased, turned his head and turned into the alley next to him.

When he received the news of the visit from the president of the Mage Union branch, Youxia was replenishing ingredients in the cellar of the hot pot restaurant. He couldn't believe it when he heard Beru mention the other party's identity at first, until he walked to the lobby and saw a A white-haired man in a gray mage robe stood in the aisle of the condiment section.

The man was holding a black magic staff. He was well-proportioned and slender. His face was between thirty and forty. He couldn't tell the exact age, but his brows and eyes were bright and the corners of his mouth were raised, making him look very gentle and friendly.

Seeing You Xia coming out, the man nodded slightly and greeted, "Good day, Your Excellency the Elf, I am Minesde, the president of the Los City Branch of the Mage Alliance. I hope I won't disturb you when I come here suddenly."

"Mr. Minnister, it's a pleasure to meet you." Youxia smiled at him politely, and then invited him to sit at the bright and spacious table by the window.

It was still 09:30 in the morning, and the hot pot restaurant hadn't opened yet. The hall was empty, and the light coming in through the glass windows carried a hint of coolness.

"I don't know why you came to see me?" Youxia looked into the other person's eyes and asked, while waiting for the other person to speak, many thoughts turned in his mind.

If there is something worthy of the president of the branch to come to him... The first thing that popped up in You Xia's mind was that August was caught eating hot pot by the Mage Union.

He couldn't help but get nervous, and he was even ready to use the teleportation scroll to transfer to the cosmetics store at any time and tip off Ogst.

Fortunately, when the other party opened his mouth, what he mentioned had nothing to do with August.

"I'm here to visit, and I want to ask you to pass the news on your behalf. If the Elf King agrees, the president of our headquarters would like to make an appointment with him."

You Xia was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "You mean the president of the Mage Union?"

"Yes, it is Mr. Blanche."

Youxia swallowed lightly. Although there was a great magician living in the house, hearing the name of the great magician outside like this would still make him feel awed.

"I will convey your request to His Majesty," he replied calmly, "but first, can I ask, what kind of matter do you want to discuss with Your Majesty?"

Seeing Minister's frowning expression, he immediately added: "Of course, if it's not convenient to tell you, you don't have to."

Minister shook his head, and said in an ordinary tone: "It's about the abyss."

You Xia suddenly realized something, guessed and asked: "Could it be about this Dragon King?"

"Yes, the new Dragon King Ude is very brave and keen to provoke troubles. Since he took office, he has brought abyssal monsters to invade and attack several tribes in the Eastern Continent, and has occupied several towns near Numaha Snow Mountain. "Minister stated, "If such a thing happened in the past, our four major alliances could solve it, but this time the Demon Dragon King awakened a rare and difficult ability, which made us have to seek help from the wood elves. .”

"What is it?"

"Curse." Minister frowned and said, "or rather, a curse."
