Chapter 48 Is it becoming more and more mysterious?
"It sounds like Miss Rorona is a very special person." Ringer ignored the old man's ridicule and asked, "Can you tell me more about her?"
The old man glanced at him: "Looking at your appearance, you are indeed a native of Brittany, but I didn't expect that your tone sounded so much like a native of Baicheng."
Ringer was startled at first, but after reacting, he realized that the old man had misunderstood what he meant: As a romantic country that has given birth to many writers and philosophers, the people of the Baicheng Republic have always been famous for their romantic affairs.
, from the royal family to the common people, men regard the charm of pleasing women as a virtue, and regard the tryst when no one is around in the middle of the night as a solemn parade of knights; women are proud of being sought after by men, and put every pomegranate under their skirts.
A man who bows his head is regarded as a jewel in the crown.
But another opposite of romance is "erosion", so there is a saying in the Baicheng Republic: Every Baicheng person has the most loyal soul in the world, because they may not be loyal to their partners, but they are absolutely
Be loyal to your lover.
The old man saw that Ringo was clearly accompanied by a female companion, but still asked him about Rorona. He mistakenly thought that the young man had something wrong with him, so he made the sarcastic comment. It is not surprising that he would think so, after all, Rorona
Na is indeed a young and beautiful girl, not to mention she has a melancholic temperament like a sickly beauty, which can easily arouse men's desire for love and protection.
He had to explain that he did not mean this: "I think you may have misunderstood. This has nothing to do with me being a big Brita or a White City person. It's just because I ordered some goods from Miss Rorona."
, I just want to know if she is reliable."
In order to make the old man believe this explanation, he also deliberately emphasized the price: "I don't want my ten pounds to be wasted on her unfounded promises."
10 pounds is indeed a high price. If you save a little money, it can be enough for a family of three to live for two months. Therefore, it is normal for Ringer to have doubts in this regard. When the old man heard this, his expression softened slightly: "
You don’t need to worry about this. I don’t know much about other aspects of that child, but her craftsmanship is absolutely trustworthy. If you think my guarantee is not enough, you can ask other residents around, I’m afraid they also
I'll give you the same answer."
"So," Linge was keenly aware of another hidden meaning in his words: "Is Miss Lorena very popular in the nearby streets?"
"If you had asked this six years ago, I would have told you that I have never heard of this name." The old man said while rolling tobacco leaves: "But if you ask now, I will tell you that there is no doubt that this place is the best place in the world."
Most of the residents on the street have been helped by Rorona, so they all care about her like I do, just like they care about their own children."
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his somewhat disabled left leg, kicked the counter lightly, made a muffled sound, and said: "When I was young, I was a sailor and traveled all over the world with the great Santa Martica.
An ocean, and he once served as the bosun on the ship when he had the highest position. However, the ship ran aground due to a shipwreck in the summer of 1834. From then on, she could no longer ride the waves and cross the sea. Finally, she became the Timida Maritime Museum.
It was an exhibit in the house, and my career at sea also ended at that time, but it was not my heart that forced me to give up, but the unfortunate disaster of falling into the sea and being killed by a crazy beast.
Half a leg bit off by a butcher at the bottom of the sea. How can a cripple walk freely on the bumpy deck, and how should he deal with the challenges of other ambitious young men? I saw the gloom in life, so I decided to give up and return to
In my hometown of Lottana, I ran a small hotel here. I thought that I would just linger for the rest of my life, and no one would show concern and comfort to a disabled person."
"However, that child Lorena helped me regain my confidence in life. I don't know how she did it. In short, she made a prosthetic leg using only wood, brass and gears, and helped me install it.
Go up. When I put on the prosthetic leg, it felt no different from the original leg. It was just because I had long been accustomed to walking with crutches, so I still had a slight limp when I walked. But it was enough.
I never thought that I would have a second chance to walk with my legs in this life. It is no exaggeration to say that it was that child who gave me a second life. You should not understand the significance of this."
At the end of the sentence, he gave Ringer a flat look. The young man sat in front of the counter and fell into silence.
No wonder the old man's sound was dull when he kicked the counter just now. It turned out to be a prosthetic leg made of wood. If he hadn't said it himself, Ringer really hadn't noticed it. Although the light was dim and he couldn't see clearly,
factor, but it is true that the prosthetic legs made by Lorena are too realistic and confusing.
In the old man's narration, Ringer gradually learned more about the girl.
For example, she came to Lotre-Dana six years ago, alone and with unknown origins. At that time, the nearby residents were still worried about the terrifying, rapid and unprovoked changes in the city, and no one noticed her.
Appeared, never noticed that a shop called "Rorona's Magic Workshop" had appeared in a remote alley. But soon, Rorona relied on her enthusiasm, kindness and some kind of strange...
His ability has brought him closer to the residents.
No one knows what "Rorona's Magic Workshop" sells, because it seems that everything can be found in that store, and all those magical products seem to be made by the girl. She is not only for Seabird Rest
The lonely old man made a fake leg that looked real. He also made a doll cat for the widowed old lady on Maria Street that could act coquettishly, play and bask in the sun with her. He also made a cat that only required a small amount of kerosene for the residents who were in a difficult situation.
A coal lamp that can light up all night, a storybook with three-dimensional pictures and musical accompaniment that can be opened for children on the street, and a storybook that they have never seen before for people who are sick and have no money for treatment.
Really effective medicines... She seems to be omnipotent. It seems that she can find everything in that workshop. No matter what kind of difficulties you have, she can help you solve them through her ingenuity and extensive knowledge, and the cost is often very high.
Inexpensive, sometimes even free.

When Ringer heard this, he couldn't help but think of the ordinary products he had seen in that workshop before. They were all placed on the shelves at that time, no different from ordinary objects, but the girl said that these products "are all in the world."
"It's unique and can never be found anywhere else." He thought it was a boast made by a businessman to sell goods. But now it seems to be true?
The young man couldn't help but ask: "Since she can make so many magical and cheap products, why is this store not famous at all?"
Hidden in a remote alley, almost no one passes by it at ordinary times. You can't find any guidance about it on the street signs at the street intersections, or you can't hear its name at all from pedestrians' mouths. Only specific people, at specific moments,
It was only by chance that he was able to enter this workshop and get the girl's approval, allowing him to buy those magical goods in his shop... This sounds like a plot that would only appear in a fantasy story.
"The child doesn't mind us telling others her name and the location of the store, but we all know that she doesn't like to interact with strangers, and she herself said that she hopes to have a stable environment to conduct her own research, so of course we
I won't do that kind of thing." The old man's tone was serious, and he beat Ringer like an iron felt: "If you want to do business with her, you have to abide by her rules, young man."
"I understand." A thoughtful look appeared in the young man's eyes, and he replied: "I won't do unnecessary things."
The old man nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his gaze, and continued to pass the time with dried silver pine leaves and tobacco shreds.
He didn't seem to intend to talk in depth, and Ringer was not in the mood to chat for a while. After listening to the story, he had a general understanding of Rorona's origins, but there were still a few doubts in his mind: the old man did not mention Rorona.
Is it because he didn't know about the illness? Since Rorona can help other patients make medicines, why doesn't she cure her own disease? Also, what is the "research" Rorona is studying? That girl is becoming more and more a mystery.
"Hey, Ringer!" An arrogant voice suddenly came from the stairs: "When will you eat?"
