Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

When Alai woke up again, he was awakened by pain.

He felt as if his head had been smashed, buzzing, and bursting with pain.Ah Lai gasped, closed his eyes and groped, sitting up from the cold floor of the observation room.

Before he could see the things around him clearly, he subconsciously called Ned's name in a low voice, "...Ned? Where are you?" Alai endured the headache and opened his eyes a little.

However, Ned did not reply to Alai.

"...?"

Only then did Alai feel that something was wrong. He squinted his eyes, maintained a sitting posture, and looked around the room, trying to find his partner.

"Ned?" He called again, this time louder, with a tremor that he didn't notice at the end.

Still no one answered the shouts, only his voice echoed in the empty room.The pure white observation room was deserted, and the incandescent lamp shone coldly on the room, and the refracted light dazzled Alai's eyes.

Something is not quite right...

A Lai frowned and checked his condition. Apart from a little headache, there was no sign of injury.

He recalled the weird scene that happened before he fell into a coma, and rarely felt a little flustered.

Since signing the contract, he has never been separated from Ned, let alone what happened at that time, Ned... Could it be that something happened to him?

Ah Lai bit his lower lip and thought.

After a short period of panic, the fact that something might have happened to Ned made Alai calm down quickly. The most urgent thing to delay now is to figure out what happened just now?And where did Ned go?

After thinking about this clearly, Alai stood up on his knees, and looked carefully at the pure white observation room again.

But this time, Alai finally realized that something was wrong.

I saw the room in front of me, although it was still the room where he fainted just now, but all the traces of the battle just now disappeared.

Not only Ned, but also the knocked out Cecilia and 311 disappeared.

But this is not the strangest thing, if it is just that people disappeared, Alai can also explain that the magician who threw that weird prop at them just now took them away... As for why he was the only one left behind, Alai I don't know.

But the problem is that in this room, even the walls broken by him and Ned together, and the crystal console that was attacked by fire magic have all been restored, even the big holes on the ground that were destroyed by Ned's annihilation magic are gone...

And I don't know if it's an illusion, Alai always feels that this room has been renovated... Could it be that the magician in the research institute repaired and updated the room while he was in a coma?

But it's not easy to repair the wall he and Ned broke together... So, how long has he been in a coma?And why was he left alone in this room?Could it be that this is also one of the places where 'magic creatures' are held, is he locked up alone?

When Alai was confused, the door of the observation room was suddenly opened.

A Lai was startled, and subconsciously wanted to activate the magic, but found that he could not sense the magic element.

Now, Alai was even more sure that he had been arrested, and that group of magicians took Ned away and imprisoned his magic circuit.

While Alai was thinking, people outside the door also walked into the room.

It was too late to pretend to be fainted now, Alai could only take a deep breath, looked towards the other party expressionlessly, and then slightly opened his eyes wide.

The person who walked in had a very familiar face. It was the magician who threw the 'instrument' at Alai and Ned at the last moment.

However, what makes Alai feel a little puzzled is... the appearance of this magician seems to be much younger than the one he saw before he fell into a coma.

The magician walked into the door and approached Alai step by step.

Then...under Alai's extremely vigilant eyes, he walked past Alai and walked towards the crystal console deep in the room, as if he hadn't seen Alai's existence at all.

Alai: "...?"

what's the situation?

Alai walked a few steps behind the magician in confusion, and then went around to observe him carefully, only then realized...the other party couldn't see him? !

"Hello? Can you hear me? Hey...?" Alai tried to wave his hand in front of the magician again. As expected, the other party didn't notice Alai's existence at all, but went about his own business.

Observing that the white walls in the room turned into a transparent color under the operation of the magician, Alai casually turned his head to look inside, but instantly opened his eyes wide.

"...Little dragon cub?"

That's right, what was displayed on the wall of the observation room at this time was the little dragon cub that was supposed to be on the 'Dragon Star' - Cheese.

In a room the size of a football field, there were three adult dragons crammed side by side, and a cub that was extremely petite in comparison.

Different from the two black dragons that Alai saw before, the adult dragons inside this time are two red dragons plus a black dragon.

At this time, their bodies were covered with dense wounds. After the blood dripped on the floor, it was quickly absorbed by the underground magic circle and collected into specially set crystal bottles.

Alai gritted his teeth and leaned close to the wall. He noticed that although the little dragon cub was also in a comatose state, it was slightly better than the adult dragon in that he hadn't seen any wounds yet.

Everything that happened in front of him was so weird that Alai had to rethink his current situation.

The rejuvenated magician, the restored room, the disappearing Ned and Cecilia, the little dragon cubs that shouldn’t be here, the replaced adult dragons...they seem to be invisible , unable to use magic himself.

A Lai had a vague guess in his mind, but this still needs more evidence to confirm.

Thinking of this, Alai tried to raise his hand to touch the magician standing in front of him, but the palm of his hand passed through the magician's body as expected. The scene in front of him was like a holographic image, which could only be heard, seen, or even heard. To smell, but not to touch.

A Lai was not surprised by this, but tried to touch the crystal console on the table again, but unexpectedly, he was able to touch the console itself.

But although Alai could touch the console, he couldn't affect it in any way, he couldn't control it, and he couldn't leave the slightest trace on it.

It was as if the incident of 'touching the console' only affected Alai, but had nothing to do with the 'operating console' itself.

The link between cause and effect is severed.

At this point, Alai can probably guess what happened to the strange situation that happened to him.

Alai speculated that before he fell into a coma, the 'instrument' thrown by the magician should be some kind of weapon involving space magic, and that weapon had a chain reaction after encountering Ned's annihilation magic, and caused a spatial dislocation.

Originally, space dislocation would cause serious space collapse. In the worst case, this dislocation will suck all nearby creatures into the center of the collapse, and then be re-thrown at a certain point in time.

But I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune. At the same time as the space collapse occurred, Alai himself activated space magic. The interaction of three space magics with different attributes led to unexpected results.

As a result, he is now trapped between space and space.

Based on what he saw and heard just now, Alai boldly guessed that the scene in front of him should be something that happened in a certain period of time in the "past" of this research institute, and his existence was actually still in the original time, so he did not The method touches the people in the past, and the people in the past can't see him.

But he can touch the items in the research institute, such as the operating table in the observation room, and the cold floor... I just don't know if people in the 'future' research institute can see him, or if the creatures in the 'future' can touch him. bumped into him.

But Alai felt that he should be invisible to both sides, and his current situation should be just between existence and non-existence, mixed in the gap between time and space.

Thinking of this, Alai sighed deeply. This is really the first time he has encountered such a situation. Now he can't use magic, and Ned can't be contacted...

It seemed like there was nothing to do but wait.

According to Alai's understanding of space magic, space actually has a high recovery ability.Therefore, this state of his own should not last for a long time. When the subsequent shock of magic disappears, he should be ejected from the space...

As for the destination after ejection, it can only be resigned to fate.

However, if my guess is correct...

Alai turned his head to look at the little dragon cub who was still sleeping in the 'Golden Cage', and frowned again.He couldn't figure out why the little dragon cub that was supposed to be in the 'future' now appeared in the 'past' research institute.

Or, was he actually mistaken?The dragon cub in front of me is actually another black dragon?

Alai stared closely at the little dragon cub for a while, from his curled up little claws to the folded little wings... He can confirm that this cub is his family's dragon cub.

So what the hell is going on?

Just when Alai was puzzled, the magician from the 'past' had also finished collecting today's data. He closed the folder in his hand, then stretched out his hand to close the wall in front of him, and planned to leave the room.

Seeing that the wall had returned to its original white color and the appearance of the little dragon cub was no longer visible, Alai had no choice but to turn his attention back to the magician standing beside him.

Seeing that he was about to leave the room, Alai hesitated for a moment, but followed him... He wanted to find out what happened to the little dragon cub.

Alai followed the magician all the way through several gates. The interior of the research institute was no different from what he saw before. It should be that it has not been decorated much since then until a long time later. .

Therefore, Alai could clearly recognize that he had left the 'warehouse' and was heading towards the laboratory.And the laboratory that the magician arrived at was the one with the white porcelain door that was emptied by himself and Ned in the 'future'.

But the interior of this laboratory is completely different from what Alai saw last time.

At this time, the originally fairly empty room was filled with machines that Alai could not name. Huge magic energy crystals were embedded inside the machines, and a dark red liquid with a strange color flowed through the transparent glass pipes.

The most eye-catching thing is the end of the pipe. In the center of the room, there is a crystal jar with a height of two people. Circle after circle of magic patterns.

And the inside of the crystal jar was filled with a dark red translucent liquid. It was obviously a scary scene, but it made Alai think of the Coke in the glass for no reason...

I don't know why, but he just subconsciously felt that the taste of these liquids should be sweet and cola-like, and they were not very full of gas.

A Lai looked inside the big can of 'Coke' which was full of black lines.

Then he saw a little boy with black hair, eyes closed, sleeping peacefully, his facial features were unusually delicate, like a carefully carved doll, but his figure was a bit thin.

He curled up, floating in the middle of the dark red liquid.

For some reason, Ah Lai's heart jumped suddenly, and he felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity with the boy in front of him.

The author has something to say:

To put it simply, Alai ran away because of space magic, and returned to the past research institute. Then, he saw the little dragon cub and a little boy... Well, I believe there are smart little cuties, and I have already guessed who they are. (*￣︶￣*)o
