After the competition, Julius and Romuona had completely different reactions.
Julius sat directly on the ground, and the wooden sword in his hand was thrown aside. He looked very embarrassed as he gasped for breath.
During the competition, although he tried his best to defend himself, he was still hit by Romuona's wooden broadsword on various parts of his body.
Romuona did not show any mercy, because he could feel the pain of every hit on his muscles. If it was not just a piece of wood, he would probably have been injured — although now he was in pain all over and felt very uncomfortable.
However, the pain only lasted for a while and did not last long. Whether it was Julius or Romuona, they quickly adjusted their state of mind.
Romuona returned to the shop first and went upstairs to change her clothes, leaving Julius in the same place.
As for Lulunaka and Pasta, they still stayed there to look after Julius. He felt a little uncomfortable, so they also left.
In the end, only Lulunaka and Pasta were left there.
Lulunaka jumped down from the mobile workshop, picked up the wooden sword on the ground, and walked towards Pasta. "How do you feel?" Lulunaka asked, "Is it very different from before?"
Pasta stroked his beard and looked like he was thinking, "If I had met these two children, then I would probably have died there — no matter what, I definitely can't deal with three people who are as strong as me."
Lulunaka smiled and patted Pasta's chest, "You are too modest, uncle. Since they can be different from before, you have also changed, right?
Since you can say 'if', then if they met the current you, wouldn't you be able to easily deal with them? "
Pasta did not answer and just shook his head.
"They will surpass me one day, and I will only get older and older. They will catch up and leave me behind."
"Your words are too sad, uncle." Lulunaka said, "Who doesn't grow old?"
Pasta looked at Lulunaka. "For example, you?"
Lulunaka pointed at herself. "Me?
Of course I'm getting old too, uncle. It's just that you can't see it. "
Lulunaka nudged Pasta and asked him to enter the store. "The entertainment in the morning is over. Uncle, please watch the store for me. I can't handle it alone."
"Until now, not many people have come to this store," Pasta said.
"But the people who come are either rich or respectable."
Lulunaka's words made Pasta speechless. "Compared to quantity, I prefer quality. What do you think?"
Pasta was silent for a while before he said, "If that's the case, I hope your store can make a profit first and not be unable to make ends meet, niece."
"Don't let vulgar money blind your eyes, uncle." Lulunaka smiled. "The things I've gained can't be measured by a few gold coins."
Pasta did not speak again. He returned to the store and sat at his usual spot.
He knew what Lulunaka was referring to, but there might be some things that he did not know.
However, he was not a person with a strong curiosity. Ever since he survived the illusion and became different, his emotions did not fluctuate violently. It was as if he did not care about anything.
When Lulunaka returned to the store, Julius had already tidied himself up and looked like he was about to go out.
"Where are you going?
The dock or the Rat Tunnel? "Lulunaka asked.
Julius probably did not expect to be caught red-handed by Lulunaka. He could only scratch his head and stop to say to Julius, "I want to go to Mr. Balik's place to see Rei."
Lulunaka did not intend to stop him at all. She waved at him and said, "Of course, you can go wherever you want. You're just going to see a child. Don't worry.
But don't cause trouble for others. If Mr. Balik complains to me, I don't know what to do. "
Julius nodded and turned to leave the store.
Ever since he broke his iron sword in the underground, Julius had not touched a weapon until now. However, he did not go to dangerous places these days, so he lived empty-handed for a few days.
Not long after Julius left, Romuona also came downstairs.
Seeing that she had changed into a set of thick equipment, she knew that she was going to go out.
When she saw Lulunaka, she said to Lulunaka, "I'm going out for a while."
"Of course, of course."
Lulunaka nodded repeatedly, "Of course, young people have to go out. Don't be like the old people."
Romuona frowned. She did not understand why Lulunaka said that. She was not there just now, so she did not hear the conversation between Lulunaka and Pasta, so she did not understand.
However, Lulunaka's strange behavior had always been a lot, so she did not continue to think about it.
She had something very important to do today. In fact, she was in the King's Castle, and this was the only important thing she had to do.
"Romuona, don't you feel hot wearing that?"
Lulunaka looked at Romuona and said to her, "I don't think you need so many warm clothes, right?
It doesn't look very convenient for you to move around. "
Romuona touched the clothes on her body. It was thick enough to be used as armor, "Mr. Apo told me that this can defend against some sharp weapons, and it can also hide myself."
Lulunaka shook her head and spread out her hands with a helpless look, "People who can hurt you will not care about the layers of clothes on your body. People who can't hurt you, even if you are naked, can't hurt you with anything."
Speaking of naked body, Romuona's face became a little red, "This is indecent behavior."
Lulunaka sighed, "You've become very like that old fogey Apo …" She said it very softly, so Romuona did not hear it, "Then I have one request. Don't be too nervous, okay?
Here, Romuona is already a dead person. No matter who sees you, they will not associate you with that dead person. No matter how much you look like her … you are no longer that Romuona. "
Romuona hesitated for a while, then nodded, "I understand." After that, Romuona also left.
Looking at Romuona leaving, Lulunaka touched her forehead, with a helpless look on her face, "Alas, she's just short of hanging a sign saying 'I'm afraid others will find out that I'm not dead' on her body.
If so, how can I rest assured? "
