Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

After Nino left, Alai and Ned stood in the corridor for a while, and finally entered the room without saying a word.

The ceiling of the room on the second floor is also very high. The golden window lattice divides the sky into two halves, the blue wall panels are embellished with golden vine patterns, and the heavy woolen curtains are hung with dragon-shaped metal accessories.

Alai looked around the room, stared at the huge double bed covered with golden silk sheets in the center, and then remembered that he forgot to ask Nia to arrange two rooms...

Yes, do you want to talk now?Alai hesitated.

Could it be that they will all live in the same room by default?He looked back at Ned, who had been depressed since hearing the news about Nia, and felt unable to speak...

Or, that's it?

In fact, this seems to be quite good, sleeping with Ned, even the nightmare seems to be driven away.And now is the time when Ned needs his company.

A Lai thought about it, and finally acquiesced to Nia's arrangement.

"Is this the place where you lived when you were a child?" Alai looked around the room curiously with the mentality of a permanent residence.He pulled Ned, who was still thinking with his head down, and sat down on the sofa by the window.

Looking out from here, you can see the courtyard outside the window, the summer roses are in full bloom in the sun, and the green vineyards in the distance extend, connecting with the rolling hills in the sky.

Ned was sitting next to Alai, and he came back to his senses after hearing the words. He blinked for a while before saying, "Well, I spent most of my time here when I was young." Ned smiled. Laughing, she recovered a little energy, "Nia likes cubs very much, so most of the cubs of the Black Dragon Clan have lived here, and I have lived here for a relatively long time."

"I see..." Alai nodded, seemingly unintentionally said, "Since it's where you lived when you were young, let's stay here for a while, and we can still accompany Nia."

Ned was taken aback when he heard the words, and only then did he realize Alai's thoughts.

My partner must have seen his worry about Nia, so he agreed to my brother's request and decided to stay.Even if this will delay the company's business, and can only entrust the matter of the little dragon cub to Nino, or even risk being directly assigned to the dragon camp...

"Alai..." The dragon youth turned his head, buried his head near his partner's neck and rubbed it, then took a deep breath, his heart trembled at the cuteness of his considerate little friend.

Ned's hot and humid breath hit Alai's neck, which was numb and itchy, causing Alai's ears to turn red.

"Okay, stop messing around... It's my first time here, take me around." Alai bit his lower lip, pushed Ned away, and got up and said.

If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that Ned would accidentally shoot his gun, so he might as well go outside for a walk to be safer.

Ned hugged Alai for a while, and then got up under Alai's urging, clinging to him and walking out of the room, persuading him as he walked, "Actually, there's nothing to do in the manor. I've been tossing around all morning. , aren't you tired? Shall I take a nap with you?"

Alai shook his head, looked at Ned with a half-smile and remained silent.

Ned sighed in disappointment, but then he cheered up as if thinking of something: "Ah Lai, let me take you to see the underground wine cellar of the manor? Pick a good bottle of wine and drink it at dinner. He asked with a smile as he thought of Alai who was extremely active after he got drunk last time.

Alai looked at Ned who had suddenly changed his attitude in surprise. His intuition was wrong, but he didn't take it seriously. He just asked curiously, "Can I take the wine in the wine cellar casually? Don't I need to tell Nia?"

Ned: "It doesn't matter. Several wines that Nia treasured have been placed in her private wine cellar. We are going to the big wine cellar now, and the wine in it is all drinkable."

The entrance to the wine cellar is in the main building, and you need to go downstairs and bypass the front yard to get there.

It was mid-afternoon at this time, and there was only the sound of summer cicadas chirping in the manor. Alai and Ned walked side by side through the small garden outside the house, soft leather shoes on the white gravel road, leaving a small sound.

When Alai passed by the French windows outside the main house, he casually turned his head and took a look, just in time to see the hall on the first floor where he just stayed.

The golden sunlight shone through the glass window on the wool carpet in the house. At this time, Nia was still in place. She leaned on the sofa, holding 'cheese' in a daze, like a delicate western doll without a soul. ...

As if aware of Alai's sight, the 'doll' on the sofa suddenly came to life, she raised her head, raised her right index finger, smiled slightly and gave Alai a 'shh' gesture.

The dragon girl has black hair like ink, and her soft lips are like summer roses. She looks innocent and beautiful. Just by looking at her appearance, no one would guess that Nia is in front of her. In fact, her spirit has already collapsed...

In the living room, the little dragon cubs were all fast asleep.

Alai suppressed the emotion in his heart, smiled at Nia as if nothing had happened, gently pulled the absent-minded Ned, quietly walked around the garden, and walked towards the wine cellar.

On the way, Ned suddenly sighed with emotion in a low voice: "Nia has always been smiling in front of others. I heard people in the clan say that when she first returned to Longxing, she was not in a good condition and lost The will to survive. Later, after I started taking care of the little dragon cubs, I slowly became cheerful."

"Is there really no way to restore the Dragon Clan's contract after it is forcibly terminated?" Alai asked with a frown, thinking of Nia's smile, he always felt a little sour and uncomfortable.

Ned was silent for a while before he said: "In fact, we have tried many methods, such as finding a race with more powerful spiritual power to re-sign the contract, or trying to solve this problem with healing magic, potions, or even technology. But to no avail. Failed with one exception. It is already a miracle that Nia can last for so long."

As Ned spoke, he glanced at Alai, and seeing that he was depressed, he couldn't help comforting him: "Actually, what happened to Nia is a small probability event, and most of the 'partners' who signed contracts with the Dragon Clan are very good, just like ours. Same."

Ned took Alai's hand and shook it gently, "The lifespan of our dragon race is much longer than that of other races. Even if something unhappy happened, Nia didn't waste nearly 800 years. Longsheng."

Alai was taken aback when he heard the words, so in Ned's mind, did he understand Nia's matter in this way?

Even though the contract was forcibly terminated, his mental strength declined, and now he is facing collapse, Nia's dragon life can indeed be described as wonderful, and he spent 800 fulfilling years with the little dragon cubs.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed true.

In the final analysis, this is Nia's own choice, her own dragon birth, even if there is an element of the "contract" of the dragon clan in it, but life, like a dragon drinking water, knows how warm it is, and only she knows how she is going.

A Lai thought about this, and suddenly chuckled: "Ned, I found that you can often suddenly say something that makes sense..." It's completely different from when you are usually stupid. Could it be that this is the legendary cuteness of contrast?Alai thought with a smile.

With just a few words, the two finally reached the entrance.

The underground wine cellar is cool, the vaulted stone structure, and the ubiquitous magic circle perfectly maintain the temperature and humidity inside the wine cellar.

When Alai entered the door, he clearly felt that he had passed through a defensive circle.He followed Ned, going down the spiral staircase all the way to the ground.

Under the light of the magic light source, the ancient lime corridor is filled with rows of huge oak barrels.

"Most of these wines are new wines brewed last year, and have not yet been matured and bottled. There are also distillation workshops and fermentation rooms, but there is nothing to see... Let's go, I will take you to the tasting room." Ned said, A deep voice echoed in the empty wine cellar.

"Nia, is she in the red wine business?" Alai looked at the countless oak barrels in front of him, a little surprised. At first he thought it was Nia's hobby, but now it seems that this is obviously a large-scale industry.

Ned nodded and said, "This manor is one of Nia's properties. Nino seems to have invested in it. It's been hundreds of years. Anyway, this is what it looked like when I was a child."

While talking, they had already walked through the long corridor and came to the circular tasting room.

There is a pure white mirrored marble table in the center of the tasting room, which can seat about a dozen people at the same time. The soft light shines from the zenith and shines directly on the table.On the walls are pine shelves as high as several floors, filled with a wide variety of wines.

Ned pulled out the wooden chair casually, let Alai sit down, and asked, "Want to taste some? There should be some wines that you drank at my brother's house last time."

"Okay." Alai nodded with great interest, and sat down on the chair relaxedly.

There were only myself and Ned in the wine cellar. The pine shelves exuded a calm woody aroma, and the air was slightly cool.A Lai took a deep breath, finally relaxing his tense nerves.

"Did you often come to the wine cellar when you were young?" Alai asked lazily, tilting his head and looking at Ned's back carefully selecting wine.

Ned recalled: "That's not true. There is a magic circle at the door of the wine cellar, and little dragon cubs can't get in. But I heard my brother tell me that I did enter here by mistake when I was young. I drank a lot of wine by mistake, and when I finally woke up, it was dark..."

He smiled shyly, and said, "If Nia couldn't find me at dinner time, maybe I could sleep for a day and a night."

"But isn't there a magic circle outside? How did you get in?" Alai asked curiously.

"Actually, I don't know too well." Ned hesitated.

"Huh?" Alai tilted his head.

"Hey, from what Nino said, the space magic must have gotten out of control... I was still young after all..." Ned rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.

A Lai: "The space magic is out of control? Like 'cheese'?"

"It's almost... In fact, this kind of situation is quite common among black dragon cubs." Ned added, trying to prove that he was not too skinny when he was a child, this is just a basic operation. "And this is just Nino's unilateral statement. I think maybe I'm too powerful, and the magic circle can't stop me?"

"Then you are awesome." Alai clapped expressionlessly, "The super powerful little alcoholic Ned, where's my wine? Haven't you picked it yet?" Alai couldn't help teasing.

"Who says I'm a little alcoholic? I'm obviously a little wine dragon." Ned said seriously, "Wait a minute, I haven't been here for a long time, and the location of the wine has changed. I need to look for it." .” Ned took out a bottle of dry red, looked at it, and put it back.

Alai: "That's not right, then Nia dares to let you come to the wine cellar after you passed out drunk in the fermentation room?"

Ned: "When I was young, I really didn't let it go. It was called a strict defense. Later, it was when I was almost 200 years old... This is where I was often caught by Nia to help me, so I became familiar with it."

Alai: "Help?"

"That's right. During the harvest season every year, Nia would call someone to help pick grapes. It may be because my magic skills are easier to use. I often get caught accidentally." Ned said, pulling out the grapes again. When a bottle of wine came, he nodded with satisfaction, walked back to Alai and sat down.

He took out two glass goblets and a bottle opener from the space, and just as he opened the cork on the wine bottle with a bang, he heard a familiar greeting.

"As expected, you are here. Would you mind pouring me a glass too?" Weixi asked with a smile as she stood at the door of the tasting room, wearing a white silk shirt.
