Chapter 219: Erie's Delicate Sweets Shop

[The King of Bronze and Fire].

As the name suggests, this is a guy who is very good at playing with "fire", or in other words, he is very good at using flames to smelt metals and forge weapons.

In ancient times, this kind of profession was generally called "blacksmith".

Of course, as the Dragon King, he naturally had to be more impressive—he was called the "strongest alchemist" by the hybrids of later generations. His alchemical creations transcended all laws of the world, reaching the point of "making the impossible possible."

"Simply put, he's a guy who's very good at making treasures."

"He must have a lot of good stuff at home—like armor with super strong defense, weapons with super destructive power, and so on."

"If we can get those alchemical weapons, it will definitely greatly increase our strength!"

Xia Mi promised solemnly.

But she wasn't talking nonsense.

The world is divided into two parts, East and West. If the West is the domain of the King of Sky and Wind and the King of Ocean and Water, then the East is the domain of the King of Earth and Mountains and the King of Bronze and Fire.

Since the birth of human civilization, she and the twins of the [King of Bronze and Fire] have been fighting each other on this land for tens of thousands of years.

Although 950 said that judging by the final results, they seemed to be the losers in the struggle between civilizations. Every time they were about to succeed, they were coincidentally defeated by a child of destiny who descended from the sky and used bizarre methods such as "summoning meteorites"...but it is undeniable that they did leave behind many brilliant histories and heritage on this land.

"Just like I... [Lord of the Earth and Mountains] Jörmungandr's active area is the north."

"The Bronze and Fire Kings are active mainly in the southwest of this country."

"You know Sanxingdui, those bronze artifacts shaped like aliens—they're the work of the King of Bronze and Fire."

As Xia Mi spoke, she put her hand to the corner of her mouth and made a face.

"what?"

"Are we going to steal something from the archaeological team?"

Lu Mingfei was shocked.

But he was not shocked by "Sanxingdui" or the so-called "King of Bronze and Fire" - instead, he suddenly thought of his mother and father.

In the mouths of others, their profession seems to be [foreign archaeologists].

So... how can this be considered archaeology? This is clearly tomb robbing!

And the one they robbed was the Dragon King’s tomb!

"Southwest."

"But why don't we go north? If there really is a tomb of the Dragon King, then the tomb of the King of the Earth and the Mountain is even more..."

Before Lu Mingfei could finish his words, he saw Xia Mi rushing towards him like a little mad dog.

Maybe Xia Mi's disguise was really too good, or maybe it was because he had been training for too long and temporarily forgot about his brain.

In short, he actually forgot.

The real body of the King of Earth and Mountains was pressing on his body, biting him like a mad dog!

……

Tokyo, Minato.

the next day.

When people living in the wealthy area walked out of their homes, they were surprised to find that the ramen stall that had been there for a week was gone.

Instead, there is a small confectionery shop on a nearby street.

People were confused and puzzled about the ramen chef's change of career, after all, the ramen he made was really delicious.

But after seeing the ramen boss's lovely "daughter", they instantly understood the boss's choice.

——If I were to leave something for this lovely daughter, a confectionery shop would obviously be much better than a ramen stand!

"welcome."

"Today's guests can get an extra berry daifuku!"

"Ah, it's Sister Ying. What does Sister Ying want to buy?"

Uesugi Erii was wearing a convenience store clerk's uniform that she had borrowed from somewhere, and she was sitting in front of the cash register in a very professional manner. She looked like a sign girl who had no idea how to do business and was just there to act cute.

Sakura Yabuki doubts whether she can really take on the responsibilities of a "shop owner".

But on second thought, the eight Sheqi families were wealthy and powerful, and it was more than enough for them to support such a small snack shop.

——The losses this confectionery shop makes in a year may not be as much as the damage caused by the people from the Executive Bureau in a day.

"Ugh."

The female ninja named Yabuki Sakura sighed.

"I'm here to find you."

She came straight to the point and had no intention of being polite with Eri - she knew that the little witch in front of her had no idea what "politeness" meant.

"Find me?"

Eri's eyes widened when she heard what Yabuki Sakura said.

This is really a strange thing - why would her brother's assistant look for her?

In other words, what had happened that caused this girl, who had always been loyal to her brother and was even willing to die for him, to risk betraying her master and come to her, a little witch who had no say in anything, to discuss matters?

"It's actually not a big deal."

"It's just that... the young master's recent condition is very abnormal."

Yabuki Sakura sighed.

She could actually understand Gen Chisheng's feelings. After all, the half-blood named Gen Chinu was indeed his biological brother - but the problem was that Gen Chisheng was spending more and more time with Gen Chinu.

From visiting once every three days at the beginning to once a day later.

And now, after hearing the doctor's suggestion that "you can talk to him more, maybe it can awaken his childhood memories" - he directly moved his office next to the ward.

Is this okay?

It must be good for Yuan Zhisheng himself. After all, he doesn't care about those things and just wants his brother to wake up... But to be honest, the Eight Snake Families can't do without him now.

Whether at home or abroad, he, the real "Movie King", is needed to take charge of the situation.

"That's it."

"Well...I don't have any better ideas."

"But I can ask my sister for help—maybe she can make a terrible-tasting medicine to solve this problem."

Eri wrinkled her nose.

——She deliberately emphasized the words "very hard-to-drink medicine".

Chapter 220: A Good Child Who Doesn’t Cry or Make a Fuss

【Eri's rough confectionery shop】

[The store manager is on the run...]

It was a very cute little sign with the image of a little red-haired witch.

There is also a corresponding version of the image "The store manager is open for business..." - it was designed for her by Shirataki, and she likes it very much.

Then, feeling like she was carrying out a "significant mission," Uesugi Eri carefully crossed the street, which usually saw few cars, and arrived at the villa just across the street from the pastry shop.

"Sister, sister."

"I can--"

She knocked on Morgan's door excitedly, hoping to take advantage of the British witch with her cute face.

But before she could ask the question.

"Can't--"

He answered without hesitation and without mercy, leaving the little witch no room for rebuttal.

In fact, Morgan didn't even look at her from beginning to end. He was concentrating on dealing with the medicinal materials in his hands - a pile of sticky-looking slugs.

"what?"

"Why?"

Eri's face was gloomy.

She never expected that her "cuteness trick" that always worked failed this time - and it was an unreasonable failure. This silver-haired elder sister who had always been kind to her seemed to be really determined this time and was unwilling to provide her with any help.

——Even if she sat on the ground with her hands on her knees, it wouldn't work.

But is this difficult to understand?

“There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.”

"And the witch's gift is even more precious and terrifying than the gods' gift."

Morgan said as he poured the cleaned slugs in his hand into a steaming cauldron and continued to boil.

Under the influence of magic, the slugs quickly melted, changing from a sticky white to gray, and finally to a dark blue emitting a strange fluorescent light.

Eiry felt a little sad.

With her IQ comparable to that of an eight or nine-year-old child, she still couldn't understand why this "Sister Morgan"'s attitude had changed so drastically.

But this doesn't seem to bother her.

"So, sister is only willing to help me and not anyone else?"

Uesugi Eri thought hard and gradually understood Morgan's thinking.

She suddenly realized that this older sister seemed even more introverted than she was. Even though she was young and had been locked up in the laboratory of Genji Heavy Industries since she was a child, she still had "older brothers and sisters" like Yabuki Sakura and Crow.

And Morgan... she always seemed to be alone, and even the older brother named "Shirataki" didn't seem to have a very good relationship with her.

"Well, what if I got that disease and suddenly lost consciousness, would my sister save me?"

Eri suddenly asked in an expectant tone.

Moreover, it was as if she had suddenly gone stupid—she lay on the ground in a daze, her eyes open, but not moving.

Here, Morgan finally paused what he was doing and rolled his eyes at her.

"If you want to cheat me out of the potion by pretending to be sick, then I advise you to give up the idea."

"I only have one way to save a fool, but I have nine ways to turn a normal person into a fool. Which one are you going to try?"

"..."

Eiry quickly got up from the ground, not daring to play dumb anymore.

"Then you go get busy, sister..."

She is very well behaved.

Always been very well behaved.

After realizing that she could not change anything, nor gain anything from Morgan, she immediately turned around and walked towards the door.

——She has always been such a child.

Never make excessive demands.

But when Morgan heard Eri open the door, he suddenly sighed.

"you……"

She wanted to say, "Can you be smarter, kid? Only children who cry and make a fuss get candy."

But when the words came to my lips, they turned into...

"I won't just give you the potion."

"But if you want to learn how to make potions, I will teach you."
