Chapter 188 Christian Studio
Due to the materials, formal wear in this world is actually very expensive. Cotton shirts, woolen coats, silk hats, and cowhide shoes are all expensive. The set left behind by the original owner of the body was the cheapest street-vendor stuff, which cost about ten pounds in total. A slightly higher-end set would easily cost thirty or forty pounds.
In Lynch's opinion, this is already a sky-high price. Even if he gets the blackmail proceeds sent by the two detectives, he already has a huge sum of sixty pounds, and a set of clothes will still cost him My heart is like a knife and my face is pale.
No wonder being able to wear high-end formalwear is a status symbol in itself.
But he still plans to buy a set. After all, the money has to be spent, no matter how expensive it is.
It is certainly a good thing that someone suddenly wants to help pay, but Lin Qi feels a little unhappy.
There is always a feeling of eating soft rice.
Business is business, and friendship is friendship. If you have no money, you can make money by yourself, cheat and extort, but you have not yet fallen to the point of being supported by others. I, Lynch, also have a backbone. Even if I run naked without any clothes, even if I am so poor that I jump from the Tower of Justice and fall to my death, I will not eat soft rice. No matter what you say, I will not let you buy me clothes.
“No offense, Mr. Lynch.” Seeing that Lynch had a strange expression, Miss Valente said softly, “The clothes you usually wear should be bought from a clothing store. Then By the way, no wonder I don’t feel any mysterious properties in your clothes.”
"Huh? Clothes can also have mysterious properties?"
"Of course ordinary clothes don't have them. Only top tailor masters have the ability to give properties to clothes sewn by themselves. It's not a powerful property, most of it is just Small properties such as increasing defense power and making the body lighter have very ordinary effects and are very troublesome to give. Therefore, powerful soul-shifters are not interested in this. Usually only nobles or rich people will prepare one or two items. Self-defense."
It was said very euphemistically, but Lynch immediately understood that this thing was probably quite expensive, so it was only circulated in a small area.
"This is one of the reasons why I brought you here today. You are not a spirit shifter who fights with your body, and you often fight against mysteries. I think you need some real 'clothes' to protect yourself. You are Valente Friends of the family, we sincerely hope that every one of our friends can be safe and never be eroded by the mystery. So, please accept this gift and let your friends feel at ease when you are fighting against the mystery, okay?”
"This..."
"In addition, Mr. Lynch, you have to know that this trip is based on the premise that someone will maliciously push you to the front. Every flaw in your clothing It may become a breakthrough for them to ridicule and ridicule. Ready-made clothes that cannot avoid detail problems are not enough. They must be hand-made and made by top tailors. These professional masters are very busy and only accept orders from old customers. Most of them are. No one can buy their services even with Rand pounds. Our Valente family happens to have a familiar master, but he is only willing to serve the Valente family, so please understand the family's difficulties and do a little. Bear with me, let me prepare the clothes for you this time, I’m really sorry.”
Why do you say that I look like a pretentious bastard? Do nobles speak in such a terrible way?
Lin Qi was speechless and remained silent for a long time before muttering: "I have a bad stomach recently and can't eat food that is too hard."
"Huh?"
"Nothing, I mean, it's my pleasure, thank you."
"Pfft, I did it right this time."
Miss Valente covered her mouth and shook with laughter, looking at Lin Qi's eyes widened, and he took a step back in panic. With a red face and lowered head, he led Lin Qi out of the carriage.
Only then did Lin Qi notice that he was brought to a very strange environment by this girl.
From the tall buildings in the distance, the gorgeous temple, and the Tower of Justice, the tallest building that cannot be ignored, it can be seen that this place should not be far from Crown Plaza. But this was the first time Lynch knew that in the center of the Rhineland, the Crown District, where land is at a premium, actually had such a neighborhood.
There is a whole street here with more than a dozen residential buildings. The buildings are very exquisite, beautiful and spacious, but they are all low-rise one-story buildings, especially surrounded by a number of three- and four-story high-rise buildings. conspicuous.
"When my grandfather came to the Rhine when he was a child, there was still a large settlement of craft masters. Unfortunately, just over fifty years ago, everything has changed, and only a few masters are still here. Especially in recent years, Only the products of cold machines are left. They seem to be the same in appearance, but the artistic conception is too different. Oh, maybe times have really changed.”
This is the inevitable outcome of industrialization, girl. Just like a steam locomotive with enough coal, once it starts driving, it will crash into everything in the way, and no one can stop it.
Approaching a residential house without any signs, Miss Valente did not knock on the Door, push the door straight in.
The scene inside was completely different from the scene in Lin Qian's fantasy. There were no neatly arranged shelves, no mountains of fabrics, and no frightening mannequins.
This place is like a spacious Victorian-style living room, with bright windows, incense floating in the living room, and melodious tunes coming from the gramophone, but it adds a bit of tranquility to the room.
Two young girls were fishing in a corner of the room. As soon as they saw Miss Valente coming in, one turned and ran towards the back. He sat down next to the sofa and served him steaming black tea. Then he lifted up his skirt and bowed slightly, then retreated to the corner again.
"Is it always so quiet here?" Infected by the atmosphere, Lin Qi lowered his voice involuntarily. "Well, Master Christian prefers to be quiet when he creates."
"Huh? Christian, is she still a lady?"
Miss Valente nodded with a smile on her face: "Yes, my hobby is a bit special, you may need to get used to it for a while."
"Little sloth, you are talking bad about me again."
Pfft, the elegant and deep voice almost made the tea in Lynch's mouth almost flow out. This girl's slow-tempered temperament is really like a sloth, but she looked at the folding fan that was about to move. , Lin Qi did not dare to laugh at all, and quickly looked at the place where the sound came from with a straight face, and then whistled in his heart.
A very beautiful woman.
Wearing a bright red dress, she is tall, slender and well-proportioned, with charming brows and every move is full of femininity. She has no faults except for the heavy make-up.
What's more important is that as soon as he saw her, Lin Qi's eyebrows felt tingling, and his heart throbbed at the same time.
Those who have different souls are at the middle level.
Lynch looked at Miss Valente subconsciously, and felt relieved when he saw the noble lady nodding towards him without any trace.
"Is this this young man? This is your first time bringing a friend here, little sloth. Want it tomorrow? It's not a big problem. He has a relatively standard figure and can be put together with ready-made accessories."
With that said, the tall lady in high heels walked up to Lynch with elegant steps and looked him up and down. Being stared at by a beautiful woman like this, it didn't take long for Lynch's face to turn red and he didn't know where to put his hands. alright.
"The young man is very handsome, but he is too thin. He is not the type that my sister likes. My sister likes strong and handsome men with more muscles. It is such a pity."
The one in the red dress Christian raised his finger at Lynch:
"Get up, sister, take a look."
It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the old aunt took advantage of me, what's the big deal, anyway, she is the one who suffers, not me.
Taking a deep breath, Lynch gritted his teeth and stood up, opening his arms and letting Christian's soft hands carefully explore his chest and back.
"Well, not bad, sleeves, size 39, collar, size 8, placket, size 23..."
The beautiful Ms. Christian reported while stroking Lynch carefully with her fingers. One by one, the two girls behind him were accustomed to writing and drawing parts and numbers in their notebooks, recording them one by one.
Lin Qi was poked with fingers. The more he poked, the more itchy he got, and he moved further and further down. Lynch's face turned red and he became restless. However, Christian refused to stand still in one place and kept moving. Lynch was dangling in front of him and was so close that he didn't know where to put his eyes. No matter which direction he looked, he could see Christian's shadow.
Long golden hair, plump figure, pretty face, raised Adam's apple, bright red dress, slender high heels.
Wait, what did I see?
Is this a man touching me?
The effect of the cat's favor exploded instantly, and Lin Qi jumped up on the spot with a roar, rushed behind the sofa, and glared at Christian and Miss Valente. Miss Valente blinked and her eyes drifted to the side, looking extremely innocent.
“Hahaha, I was discovered. It’s a pity, it’s a pity, but luckily it’s already been measured.”
Christian winked charmingly and started with a smile. Refers to:
"It's working time now."
Swish, the whole room changed in an instant.
