As night approached, the dolls cleaned and arranged the nave hall, ready to welcome guests.

Yanlou changed into a robe with a star and moon pattern, and smugly faced the mirror for 10 minutes as usual.This dress is made more finely than the others, and its appearance is more formal. The meniscus tattoo is very concealed, and the scattered starlight is sprinkled all over the robe, as if covering the body with starlight, which is somewhat mysterious feel.

Seeing Hughes who was directing the dolls to work in the lobby, Hughes looked at him with a surprised face, "The store manager made such a dress?"

Vivienne was also surprised when she heard him talk about the Xingyue pattern before. Could there be something hidden?

"What's wrong, is there a problem?"

Hughes said: "The star and moon pattern is very special in the dark world, because His Majesty Nicholas was born from the moon, so the clothes with the star and moon pattern on the black background are very formal here, probably a bit like the dragon and phoenix pattern in the world of Yin and Yang? "

Yanlou has never heard of this, born from the moon?Is it true or an exaggerated legend?Thinking of Nicholas' nearly [-]-year-old age, Yan Lou was a little uncertain.

"Your Majesty doesn't shy away from this aspect, so residents usually wear things with stars and moon symbols on major festivals or ceremonies to express their respect to His Majesty." Hughes guessed his concerns, so he explained: "Your Majesty It is no problem to wear clothes with star and moon patterns, especially on formal occasions to meet the city lord."

Yanlou stroked his sleeves and said with a smile: "That's good, I'm still worried that I might be rude."

"No, you are expressing the importance you attach to the other party. I think the city lord will be very happy."

Yan Lou nodded.

The big rabbit doll hurried over and said in a low voice, "My lord, the city lord is here."

Yan Lou went out to greet him, and saw a carriage slowly parked in front of the doll shop.

The attendant raised the curtain, and a handsome young man got off the carriage, and bowed his hands to him from a distance, "Mr. Yan, I have long admired your name."

Yan Lou returned a salute, "Seeing is worth seeing once, Lord Suoyi, please."

He looked at the young city lord calmly. The strong in the dark world had a very long life span, and he couldn't judge a person just by his appearance.

The magic world has a greater influence on the dark world, and most of the people and things Yanlou saw during this time bear the shadow of the magic world.Although Suoyi was born with tall eyebrows and deep eyes, and his blond hair was particularly dazzling, his clothes and behavior were close to the world of yin and yang, and he had the posture of a modest gentleman.

Suoy's attendants took out several large gift boxes from the carriage and handed them over to the dolls in the store.

Suoy said: "I heard that most of the worship in the Yin and Yang world is wine. The first time I came to visit, I followed Mr. Yan's custom and sent a few jars of old wine."

Tern raised his eyebrows, "The city lord is too polite."

The two entered the hall, and the dolls immediately served tea.

"I was busy a while ago. I heard that Mr. Yan came and didn't come to visit in time. I hope Mr. Yan doesn't mind."

Yanlou said: "The city lord is busy with his affairs, so I should be the one who came to visit."

Suoy smiled and said: "Mr. Yan just took over the doll shop, and there are more things to deal with, how can I bother you? I heard that the doll shop has gradually been on the right track recently, and it is all thanks to Mr. Yan to turn the tide. You will take over the doll shop , is fortunate for the city of Angers."

Yan Lou said: "The city lord is too famous."

Soy waved his hand and said, "My family's ancestors were born here, and the first store manager has been kind to us. You made the doll shop develop, and I'm really happy to be a part of the city of Angos."

After the formalities were over, Suoy talked about the purpose of his visit: "It's already June, and His Majesty's birthday will be in a few days. Does Mr. Yan have any plans?"

Yanlou lowered his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "I have taken over the doll shop for many days, but I haven't achieved any outstanding results. I am really ashamed of your majesty's trust."

Suoi said: "Mr. Yan cannot be blamed for the situation of the doll shop, you have done well enough. Your Majesty is generous and will not care about these things, but some people in the royal city are not satisfied with the doll shop. You should make some preparations for this birthday Alright, so as not to fall into the trap of truth."

A dark light flashed across Yanlou's eyes, who was Suoyi talking about?What is the job of the people in Wangcheng, and what does it have to do with the doll shop?

Suoy didn't elaborate on it to him, but said: "Your Majesty has been very interested in the culture of the Yin-Yang world in recent years. If Mr. Yan has no idea, you might as well try to start from this aspect."

The world of Yin and Yang?

Yan Lou smiled, "Thank you for the reminder, the city lord, I will try."

"The culture of the Yin-Yang world is mysterious and profound. Not only does His Majesty like it, but I am also very interested in it." Suoy said, "For example, our astrology was developed from the Yin-Yang world, and its charm has attracted countless people. .”

The night in the dark world is very long, and the moon also waxes and wanes, but he didn't pay much attention to the stars.

"Especially on the last day of each year and the first day of the new year, countless people who study astrology will stand on the city wall all day long, observing the orbits of the stars without blinking, in order to predict the situation in the coming year." Suoy smiled. Said, "Mr. Yan must have never seen such a scene in the world of Yin and Yang. You can come out and see it by the end of this year. It is very beautiful."

"And on the day of His Majesty's birthday, the stars and the moon shine brightly. These two days are stargazing opportunities that the residents of the Dark World will never miss."

Yanlou was moved by what he said, and couldn't help being curious about the scene he was talking about.

The two talked about the image for a while, and then chatted about the etiquette and culture of the yin and yang world, and Suoy left contentedly.

"City Lord, go slowly." Watching Suoyi leave, Yanlou turned around and smiled.

He returned to the hall, waved his hand to let the doll who was packing things leave first, then looked up at the boy with rabbit ears, "Hughes."

Hughes came forward, "What's the order from the store manager?"

Yanlou turned the white porcelain teacup in his hand, the tea was already cold, "I think as the manager of the doll shop, there are some things I should know before outsiders remind me, don't I?"

Hughes was taken aback, "Yes."

Yan Lou said: "Then let's talk about it."

Hughes pursed his lips slightly, and said: "Your Majesty has three directors. Brian is the director of internal affairs, responsible for His Majesty's daily life and the safety of the palace; among the two directors of foreign affairs, Darcy is in charge of the local affairs of the dark world, and the city owners of each city are contacted by him; Elena is in charge of the escape game, and the previous manager of the doll shop needs to be under her control."

Yanlou listened with a blank expression. These three people were not so much managers as prime ministers. They shared several powers and were Nicholas' right and left hands.

"The first store manager was the veteran of the escape game. He was powerful and had a high status. Elena couldn't control him. But Irene had always been dissatisfied with outsiders becoming the leader of Angos City. After leaving, the successor's second store manager was a high-minded person, and after being secretly squeezed out several times by Elena, he resigned angrily."

"The third store manager is from another world. He has the shortest working time. He was kicked out by Elena due to work mistakes in less than a year." Hughes said with a sullen face, "The fourth store manager's name is Cassius. , hired by Eileen herself, he is a native resident of the Dark World, he comes from a big family, and Eileen is related to him."

"During the tenure of Cassius, there were successive problems in the dungeon, especially the accident of the Flower Fairy series, which brought great losses to the doll shop." Hughes said with a cold face, "The accident here has attracted the attention of His Majesty Nicholas, His Majesty dismissed Cassius and deprived Elena of the doll shop's jurisdiction, and the doll shop will be directly under His Majesty's jurisdiction from now on."

Yanlou leaned back on the chair and asked calmly, "How much did you interfere in this?"

Hughes hesitated.

"There's no one else here." Yanlou emphasized, "Let's talk."

"The store manager's manual has been kept in my hands. There is a reason why I deliberately let the copy go wrong, but Beatrice's escape from the doll shop is indeed beyond my expectations. Her copy may have problems very early, but we I haven't found it yet." Hughes said, "In addition, the second store manager is a disciple of the first store manager. He was pushed away by Elena. I contacted the first store manager to inform the matter and report to His Majesty. Elena and Cassius."

Yan Lou raised his lips slightly, "I underestimated you."

Hughes said seriously: "For me, you are the object of my allegiance just like the first and second store managers, and I will never betray you."

Yan Lou nodded slightly, and then said again: "Suoy asked me to promote the culture of the Yin-Yang world to His Majesty. I remember that the dark world should be closer to the magical world."

Hughes said: "It is indeed the magical world that communicates the most with the dark world, and it is deeply influenced by the magical world. I don't know the specific reason what Mr. Suoy said, but it may have something to do with the Holy See of Light."

"Oh?"

"The Holy See of Light in the magical world is powerful, and their teachings advocate light and hate darkness, while the dark world is dominated by the power of darkness." Hughes said, "In recent years, some young people in the dark world have appeared Believers in the church, who have been brainwashed by teachings, call His Majesty the Demon King, and believe that the world will regain its light after defeating the Demon King.”

Yanlou was speechless for a moment, shook his head for a while and said: "I understand, you go down. Don't hide anything from me in the future."

"Yes, my lord." Hughes' complexion eased, knowing that Yanlou no longer cares about this matter, he quickly retreated.

Yanlou stood in front of the window, connecting the names in his mind.

Nichols, Zhuo Yusheng, Yun Qi, Elena, Cassius, Soy, Hughes, Brian... There are many people he doesn't know yet, all of these people have deep or shallow connections with the doll shop. The connection will affect him in the future.

Thanks to His Majesty Nicholas for cutting the mess quickly, he cut off half of the trouble before he came, which saved a lot of trouble.

Although he is not afraid of trouble, if there is less trouble, he is still happy to be a free man.

This time, shouldn't we spend more time on the gift, so that we can hold His Majesty's thigh firmly, so that he can save himself a little trouble in the future and get a smooth promotion and salary increase.

Well, there should be a little more salary increase, and there is probably no room for promotion, unless the palace lacks a supervisor?
