Soon after, the meeting was indoors.

Morey and Kelly walked carefully into this place that looked like a serious occasion, and floating in front of them were the two ghosts who had chased Morey for several laps.

Seeing that the two ghosts behaved like two little lambs in front of the owner, Morey carefully poked Kelly a few times.

Kelly twitched her fingers, and she used one of the whispering witchcrafts to ensure that their exchange would not be overheard. "say."

Morey: "Kelly, let's find a chance to escape!"

Kelly: "Why?"

Morey looked shocked, "There are ghosts here? Ah, don't you want to leave?"

Kelly thought for a while, and then said, "Where are you going? Is there a brighter place in this world than here?"

Morey seemed to have suddenly become dumb, unable to speak, and he stammered after a while: "But, there are ghosts here!" Ghosts, in the legend of Entru Continent, ghosts can be free The dark creatures wandering the world, because they are already dead, they will be madly jealous of the living, and will do everything possible to suck away the soul of the living, so no one who has seen a ghost survives!

After the advent of the dark age, many travelers who went out died outside. Although there were bandits such as the Nine-Headed Wolf, many people still believed that those people were killed by ghosts in the dark.

Morey is one of the believers. He said convincingly, "Look at that shopkeeper with black hair and black smoke! He even raises ghosts! He must be a devil who came out of the darkness! He used light to lure us into being fooled! People here They are all his prey!"

Kelly: "..."

Morey: "Kelly, you have to believe me...ah, why don't you believe me? How can you not believe me! We are partners who grew up together!"

Hearing his tone getting more and more excited, Kelly tried her best to calm down and said, "I ask you, what kind of devil can lure us with light?"

Morey: "Say... maybe it's all hallucinations!"

Kelly: "If it's an illusion, why haven't we been swallowed by darkness yet?"

Morey: ...

Kelly: "If all the travelers who left the city were killed by ghosts? Then we have been walking in the dark for so many years, have you ever seen a ghost?"

Morey is still resisting: "But we see it now."

Kelly: "Have you ever seen a ghost that isn't afraid of such a bright light? Have you ever seen a ghost that just runs after you without harming you? No, you haven't seen a ghost before at all."

Morey: "But they're ghosts."

Kelly: "Shut up and listen."

Morey: "Okay."

"It seems that the two have finished communicating. Please sit down." The black-haired, black-eyed owner politely asked them to sit down. Kelly looked up and saw that the two ghosts were already sitting on the other two chairs beside the round table. They got off, but they were obviously afraid, and their buttocks only touched half of the chair.

Kelly thoughtfully sat down opposite the shopkeeper, but Morey refused to sit. He stood behind Kelly, looking as if he was going to flee with Kelly at any time.

Chi Yishen looked at Kaili, who was obviously the one talking, and said, "The main reason for inviting the two of you over is to discuss a cooperation with you."

Kelly said kindly, "Please tell me."

Chi Yishen: "Recently, I found out that there is a pair of partners who walk in the dark all year round, named Morey the Strong Hand and Kelly the Gravity Maker. , or a porter, there is nothing you can’t do.”

Kelly immediately said: "What do you want us to do? Let's make it clear first, we won't go to Mount Asli."

Chi Yishen: "No, I have already handed over the task of Mount Asli to other people, and what you need to do is another thing."

Kelly couldn't help thinking about it.Asli Mountain, that is a taboo place, the origin of the dark age, and the beginning of all disasters. In the past few decades, even the dying people do not want to set foot in that place, and the shopkeeper has already sent someone there, What is the purpose of this mysterious shopkeeper.With Asli Mountain in front of her, Kelly raised the level of the task that the other party wanted to give her to a very difficult level. She thought that no matter how generous the reward was, she would refuse it, because she cherished her partner very much and didn't want to let him risk each other.

Chi said deeply: "It's like this. I have always wanted to expand the scale of the plane store, but it has not been possible due to the lack of customers. There is a saying in my hometown: If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. So I plan to build a road. The roads connecting major cities allow everyone to walk out of the cities and become customers of the Plane Store in person.”

When Kaili heard the first words from the shopkeeper, her hanging heart was slightly relaxed. Since it started like this, it means that it is not a very difficult task. With the shopkeeper's wealth, she will definitely not be stingy with the rewards. If this If the shopkeeper worked with them for a long time, they would surely earn enough money to buy more flashlights, so that she and Morey could achieve their ideals faster.At the same time, she was also lamenting the wealth of the shop owner. The current Plane Store was enough to amaze everyone who came here. She couldn't imagine that the shop owner had any ambitions to expand.

But when Kelly heard the second sentence, she froze for a moment, and stared at the shopkeeper with wide-eyed eyes as if suddenly seeing the sun rise, "Building roads? You should know that you want to build a road from the shop to the How difficult are the roads in major cities, even the nearest Guangming City, the consumption of light is incalculable. Are you sure you want to..."

Chi Yi smiled deeply: "Of course, no matter how much light is spent, I will not regret it."

Kelly moved her mouth, and what filled her heart was not shock, but absurdity. With the strength of the plane store, sooner or later it will become the center of the entire dark age, because whether it is the extravagant and wasteful light in this store, or the comfort and warmth in the hall, The environment is enough to make everyone scramble to rush over like ducks.But even so, the idea of ​​the shop owner wanting to build roads is too whimsical. The current cities can only exist today because of the luminous ore nearby and the enveloping of countless wizards, and the surrounding areas are completely covered in darkness. Why would a noodle shop make such arrogant remarks?

She couldn't help reminding: "Shouldn't the precious light be wasted in such a place?"

Chi Yishen did not answer her question, but said: "Before the advent of the dark age, the sun shines on the earth forever, and no one accuses the sun of wasting light, because at that time, everyone took it for granted that there was no need to chase the light. There is no need to treasure the light, because the real light will always come to the world before people's will."

But now is not the dark days before.Kelly thought this way in her heart, but for some reason, her expression was shaken, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Is this what the owner thinks?Does he want to imitate the sun and take the initiative to scatter the light on the world?What ignorance and arrogance.

Thinking this way in her heart, Kelly said: "I accept this task. No reward."

-

Kelly and Morey left with a large box that Chi Yishen handed over to them, which contained energy-saving mini lamps and plastic poles that Chi Yishen bought from Blue Star, and several hand generators among them.Morey is a strong hand, he can carry heavy boxes and do some physical work, Kelly is a gravity user, she is good at witchcraft to increase the gravity of objects, and can permanently fix poles with small lights and generators on the ground , to avoid being poisoned by thieves.

After they left, their belated eyes turned to Pilu and Harmon. The two ghosts who were so moved that they were silently weeping saw the shopkeeper looking over, and immediately clamped their buttocks and looked nervous.

"Shop... Shopkeeper, you have already discovered that we are..."

Chi Yishen: "Why not? As the owner of the shop, how can I not know everything in the shop?" He was still speechless, "I burned clothes for you that day, isn't it obvious enough?"

Pirou and Hammond immediately bowed to him, "I'm sorry shopkeeper, shopkeeper is sorry..."

Chi Yishen saw that they were so nervous that their souls were going to heaven, so he stopped teasing them, and said seriously: "Ordinary people can't see you, but people with strong inspiration, I mean people with strong witchcraft, such as Morey And Kaili, I will be able to find you, I am here to open a shop, if I frequently scare the customers like today, how will I do business in the future?"

Pilu and Harmon thought that the shopkeeper had driven them away, so they didn't dare to raise their heads, so they asked cautiously, "Shopkeeper, can we stay at the door of the shop? We will carefully hide ourselves so that we won't be found!"

Harmon added, "Wait, we'll leave when they pave the road to Guangming City. We just want to go home and take a look at grandma and sister."

Chi Yishen's tone was subtle, "When did I say that I would drive you away? Didn't I promise you to stay and work?"

Pilu and Harmon looked up at him blankly, and slowly realized that yes, the previous shop owner promised to let them stay and work in the shop, but the previous shop owner didn't realize that they were... No!The owner has long known that they are ghosts, which means...

The two were happy at first, then worried, "But we will scare the guests."

"I've already figured out a solution for this." Chi Yishen said while flipping through the thick store system manual, "More than one accident reminded me that using only puppets would cause problems, but I have never found a suitable employee. , but I think you are quite suitable now."

Before the two of them could react, he grabbed a stack of thick contracts and placed them in front of them, "Come, sign and press your fingerprints, and then drill yourself into the puppet."

Piru and Harmon: ? ?

The two felt that they had become fools, otherwise why couldn't they understand what the shopkeeper said?Even so, they still signed and pressed their fingerprints on all the places that should be signed, without even looking at the terms of the contract, as well-behaved as rag dolls who can be manipulated.
