LOL: The dark goddess covets me!

Chapter 98 I'm the Queen!

Like most Bilgewater buildings, Fortune's workshop is a patchwork of wreck wood, marine life shells and hardened coral reefs.

From Josh's point of view, Fortune's Workshop doesn't look that big, it can only be regarded as a well-regulated two-storey hut.

But looking at Bilgewater, where supplies are scarce, this workshop is already considered an upper-middle-class building.

Pushing open the wooden door, the blue bird wind chime at the door made an ethereal and light sound.

Fortune Workshop is a small shop that combines a commodity store and a forging workshop. The first floor is filled with all kinds of guns with strange shapes.

There are all kinds of flintlocks, repeating muskets and even Seiko rifles, and even fist-sized calibers, which cannot be called "artillery" of pistols at all.

In the open area in the center of the first floor, there is a spiral wooden staircase leading to the second floor.

That's the workshop where they forge and produce guns. Even through the floor made of a hard shell, the three of Josh can still hear the crisp sound of the metal collision of the parts made of ping-pong-pong.

This is also the current store operation method in most areas of Runeterra.

They had only entered the door for two or three seconds when a little girl ran out from the back room, "Welcome to Fortune Workshop~~ May I ask what you need..."

The little girl was wearing a knee-length red-brown off-the-shoulder dress, and her long red hair hung over her shoulders, burning like a flame.

She looks about seven or eight years old, she is really cute, her round face with a little baby fat is dotted with a few harmless freckles.

Sarah Fortune.

Although she was still young, Josh still recognized her at a glance.

Before Sarah finished speaking, when she saw Ahri and Gwen under the hood, the little girl froze on the spot, "Okay, what a beautiful sister..."

"The little girl's mouth is so sweet, my sister likes it."

Ari giggled, and took out a mint candy from his pocket, "Would you like a candy? It's produced by the Piltover Jillamann factory~~"

Sarah's eyes sparkled with longing, and she had obviously heard of the mints from Gilaman's house.

But soon, her expression was covered by hesitation, she shook her little face like a rattle, "Daddy told me not to eat food from strangers."

At this moment, upon hearing the movement in the store, a middle-aged man who was dressed exquisitely, his hair was waxed and combed, and there was a thin beard on his cheeks came down the stairs.

At first glance, not only his clothes, but also his gestures, the man has a kind of elegant and aristocratic demeanor.

The first thing the man did when he came down was not to entertain Josh, Ari, and Gwen, but to scold the little girl with a serious face:

"Sarah, how many times have I told you that there are customers in the store who want to call us, and you are not allowed to touch customers."

Despite her young age, Sarah was a complete beauty.

There are not many good people in Bilgewater, those gangs can be said to be doing everything for their own interests, and abduction and trafficking of women and children is only commonplace.

As a father, Fortune naturally strictly educated and asked his daughter not to contact customers who came to buy guns rashly.

Behind Sarah's hands, she lowered her eyes and pursed her mouth, with an unhappy look of grievance on her face.

Ari made a timely rescue: "Don't blame her, we just entered the door, and your daughter is very vigilant."

Afterwards, Ahri tossed the mints in his hand twice, and looked at Sarah.

"Come on, your father has come down, can you pick it up now?"

Sarah stared longingly at the mint, and then stole a glance at her father.

Fortune took out the monocle from his jacket pocket, fixed it on his right eye socket for a little tidying up, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the packaging of the candy clearly.

"Candy from Gilaman? It's not cheap!"

Although this mint can only be sold for a copper ring in Piltover, the currency value of Bilgewater is far less than that progressive city of commerce and technology.

In addition to the taxes and fees set by Planck, the labor costs required for transportation and storage, just such a candy, at least 20 copper herrings can be bought, which is enough to exchange for a silver sea snake!
Even the Fortune family, who are relatively well-off, are not willing to buy Sarah these mints from Piltover several times a year.

"Don't worry, it's just a piece of candy, it's nothing to me." Ari said calmly, and threw the candy directly to Sarah.

The little girl had sharp eyes and quick hands, and immediately grabbed the candy, but she didn't rush to unwrap the wrapping paper, but looked at her father again.

Seeing that the guests didn't care, the daughter took the candy again, and if she was asked to return it, it would be a shame for the guests.

Mr. Fortune, who has been in business for more than ten years and is experienced in dealing with all kinds of customers, sighed silently in his heart, and looked at his daughter with tacit approval.

Sarah was overjoyed, opened the package directly, and happily put the dark green candy into her mouth. The sweetness exploded in the taste buds, and a refreshing and transparent feeling came straight to her mind.

But before she savored the happiness of eating mints, Sarah's expression changed immediately when she heard her father's inquiry: "Have you finished the lesson of adjusting the wheelbase of the trigger today?"

"Not yet..."

"Then why don't you go soon?"

Sarah stuck out her tongue at Mr. Fortune, made a face, then immediately turned around and ran back to the back room, not giving him another chance to reprimand her.

"This girl..." Fortune was very helpless, walked in front of the three of them, and bowed gracefully, "Please forgive Sarah for being rude, she was spoiled by me and Abigail since she was a child."

"I really like her. If only I could have such a daughter."

Ari raised his head slightly, and glanced at Josh who was standing next to him.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Josh didn't catch his breath, choked on the fluid he swallowed, and coughed violently, with an embarrassing expression on his face.

Naturally, Lunicia would not let go of this opportunity to tease: [Hmph!Speaking of which, you have been busy for three days, so you should hit the target, right? 】

"Don't talk nonsense, now is not the time to think about this." Josh answered Lunicia in his mind.

Fortune saw their relationship at once, and laughed heartily: "Hahaha...Miss' wish will definitely come true."

For a moment, Fortune calmed down and returned to a polite smile, "Looking at the outfits of the three of you, you should be sentinels of light, right?"

"Yes."

Ari took off the hood directly, and the originally concealed appearance was completely revealed in Fortune's eyes.

Amazed by the girl's appearance, Fortune showed surprise, and he immediately realized with his sharp eyes, "You, you are... the leader of the sentinels?"

"I haven't shown my face in public for more than ten years. I didn't expect you to recognize me."

"Oh, how could I not be able to recognize a beautiful young lady like yours whose temperament is completely different from ordinary people's, no matter how dumb I am?"

Fortune saluted again, with an even more respectful attitude, "Miss Ari is here, I am ashamed to welcome you..."

"Mr. Fortune speaks too seriously."

"No, no, no, it's not serious at all. All of you sentries are heroes against the black mist and have protected many people. They deserve our respect." Fortune sighed, "Also, just call me Jeffrey."

Jeffrey paused for a moment, then turned back and shouted upstairs: "Abigail, we are honored guests!"

"Wait for me a moment, come right away!"

Afterwards, Jeffrey turned around and apologized to the three of them with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, our latest big order is about to be delivered, and Abigail is finishing the finishing work and is quite busy."

The Fortune Workshop is famous for the outstanding skills of the Fortune couple, but compared to his wife, Jeffrey, who was only a captain, is much inferior in skills.

Although Geoffrey does most of the customer service, Abigail is actually the man behind the workshop.

Ari did not reveal her thoughts to Jeffrey for the time being, and planned to discuss with Abigail in detail after she finished her work.

Jeffrey made a gesture of invitation, "Let me introduce the products of Fortune Workshop to you first!"

Ahri nodded, and Jeffrey walked to the adjacent shelf first, and picked up a small quick-fire pistol and a large-caliber musket loaded with bullets that are common in Bilgewater.

"We have quick-fire pistols that can be bought for as few as a dozen copper herrings, bursting firearms that range in price from a few to dozens of silver snake coins, or Seiko rifles that are worth the price of a golden siren...

"I can assure you that all the firearms in the Fortune Workshop are worth the money. In the entire Blue Flame Islands, our firearm forging technology is second, and no one dares to call it the first!"

Jeffrey put the two pistols back on the shelf, then raised a dark green rifle and introduced:

"Thunder Seiko Rifle, currently the longest range and most powerful sniper rifle in our store, a shot sounds like thunder roaring, hence the name...

"Of course, this is just my own name. You can change it if you like."

Jeffrey smiled confidently, "I dare say that the rifles made by us are definitely better than the Hex precision rifles of the Piltover Philos family!"

However, seeing that Ari was not interested in this inconvenient rifle, Josh stared at a long-mouthed pistol on the opposite shelf in a daze, and Jeffrey immediately went to take down the pistol he was looking at.

It was an orange-red, large-caliber pistol with six muzzles. The drum was glowing red. The thick, round and long barrel was about 15 centimeters long, and the workmanship was very fine.

"This gun is called Rapid Fire Cannon! It has a super long range that is unmatched by rifles. At the same time, it draws on the advantages of the Hex Focusing Vinyl Gun. It uses the magic orb bred by the abyss mob as the energy supply core, which can automatically Fill with magic bullets and just pull the trigger to fire!"

The Rapid Fire Cannon was actually invented by the Fortune couple?

Josh was quite surprised, with an expression of interest, "What about its ammunition capacity?"

Jeffrey was enthusiastic, "It is divided into two excitation modes, single-shot mode and powerful mode, which can fire six magic bullets at one time!
"We spent a lot of money to buy the first-class magic treasure orb, which has the effect of automatically recovering energy. I heard that the holy stone pistol used by the sentinel is also like this, right?
"If you only use the single shot mode, the rapid fire cannon can be fired continuously, but if you use the strong mode...

"After our test firing test, it takes about 15 seconds to cool down the barrel and recharge it briefly after firing six times in a row."

"Of course, if there is an interval of two or three seconds between each launch in the powerful mode, the 15-second cooldown for bursts will not be required."

Jeffrey handed the rapid-fire cannon to Josh, "This is carefully crafted by Abigail, and it is the only one at present!"

When Josh looked back and forth, Jeffrey smiled and said, "If you like it, this gun is for you!"

The price of the rapid-fire artillery is not cheap, and the price on the gun frame is 3000 silver sea snakes.

It would be cheaper to pay with gold coins, only 233 gold sea monsters, instead of the original 250 gold coins.

So much money is enough for a captain to buy a sloop that can go fishing.

So far, this can be regarded as the most expensive firearm in Fortune Workshop.

Although it is not clear who Josh is, since he can make the leader of the Sentinel of Light fall in love with him, he must not be a simple character.

If you spend some money to give gifts and sell favors, if you encounter any accidents in the future, you can still ask him for help.

What's more, this rapid-fire artillery has been placed in the store for a long time.

There are many captains who are obsessed with this magic pistol and love it very much, but most of them have to support a large group of people, and they may not always get something out of the sea, so they are persuaded by its price.

"This gun is not cheap." Josh noticed the price tag, shook his head and declined, "Forgive me for not accepting such an expensive gift."

Just as he was about to put the Rapid Fire Cannon back on the shelf, Ari said calmly: "If you like it, take it, but I will pay the market price, it's not expensive anyway."

[Tsk tsk, you need a woman to pay for you, your soft food is really delicious. 】

"Heh, let's not say that we have been trapped in the cracks of time for 200 years, so what if we eat soft rice? Many people want to eat but can't."

[You... are really thick-skinned. 】

"Thank you for the compliment."

Josh was confident, but Lunisia was at a loss for words for a moment, and was speechless.

"You're so generous! I'll give you [-]% off... no, [-]% off! Would you like to shoot, sir? We have a range in our backyard."

Josh shook his head, "Let's wait, we still have important things to do."

"Okay, you take a break, and I'll prepare the matching holster."

Jeffrey took the pistol, pointed to the bench near the wall, then turned and entered the back room.

Taking advantage of the emptiness, Gwen, who had been silent since entering the store, finally couldn't restrain her curiosity, and asked, "Are these 'guns'? In my impression, guns are similar to spears and halberds, and they are also melee weapons. "

"This 'gun' is not that 'gun'. Although the pronunciation is similar in Kamavian, their functions are completely different."

Ari smiled and said, "How about it, do you have a favorite style?"

Gwen raised her eyebrows in doubt, "Or...forget it? I don't use these strange things. Compared to this, I prefer my scissors and flying needles."

Josh persuaded: "You really should try Gwen, to be honest, this thing is actually much easier to use than magic."

Ari followed up and said: "But it seems that there should be no new magic firearms in this store. Let's wait for the holy stone weapon."

Not a moment later, before Jeffrey came out, the sound of ping-pong beating upstairs stopped.

As the "clack" sound of hard-soled shoes stepping on the wooden planks of the stairs approached, a woman with a face somewhat similar to Sarah came downstairs.

She was wearing a long beige dress with an extra layer of protective apron on it. Her long brown-red hair was coiled behind her head, and a few strands of hair stuck to her sweaty face. She looked a little tired. .

"Sorry, sorry, I have to temper those parts, otherwise they will be scrapped."

Abigail took off her apron, threw it casually on a chair beside her, and fixed her eyes on Ari and Josh, who were the leaders.

"Have the three of you already chosen your favorite gun?" She noticed the vacancy on the gun rack, with a surprised expression on her face, "You guys are really discerning!"

"It's just incidental to take a fancy to the rapid-fire artillery. We actually have more important things on this trip."

Abigail probably guessed part of what Ahri wanted to express, "Do you want to customize firearms?"

"Well, I do have this idea, but..."

Ahri restrained her smile and gentleness, and suddenly revealed the aura of a superior person, quite like a queen.

"My name is Ari, the Pearl of Vasani, after Hylia, one of the founders of the Kingdom of Demacia, the friend of the Flying Wing Sisters, the leader of the Sentinels of Light and the bloodline of Blessed Island.

"I want to discuss with you about your joining the Sentinels of Light."
