Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

At 9:[-] the next morning, Alai woke up on the bed in the dormitory. The soft pillows, comfortable temperature, and warm quilts made it feel so good to wake up naturally after sleeping.

Alai sat up and stretched a long waist.Plenty of sleep had brought a healthy blush to his always pale face.He lifted the quilt, slowly got up, washed slowly, changed his clothes slowly and went downstairs.

The restaurant downstairs was quiet, and there was no trace of food on the walnut tabletop. Alai looked around the small room, but there was no sign of Ned anywhere.

"Strange? What about others?" Azi murmured.Usually at this time Ned would sit in the dining room, waiting for him to come down for breakfast.

Could it be that he is still sleeping?

Thinking of this, Alai simply turned his head and walked outside to the courtyard, where Ned's lair was built.That's right, as a dragon, Ned insisted that when sleeping, he must sleep in his original form.

The roses bloomed just right in the courtyard in the morning, covering a corner of the garden in layers.

Alai walked briskly through the arch, around the flower gallery, and stopped at the door of the southernmost glass greenhouse.

In order to accommodate Ned in his original form, the seemingly small glass greenhouse has been expanded to 300 times its original size by space magic.

Sometimes I am really glad that he is a space magician, otherwise there is no way a dragon can live in an ordinary person's yard.Ah Lai couldn't help shaking his head thinking of this.

The glass greenhouse in front of it is surrounded by vines, and there are unknown small flowers blooming everywhere. The special material allows the sunlight to enter smoothly, but at the same time, the inside cannot be seen.

A Lai raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Ned? Are you up?"

There is no sound inside.

"Ned?" Alai slightly raised his voice.

Still nothing.

Forget it, wake him up later, it's rare that Ned is willing to sleep in, so let him sleep for a while.Thinking of this, Alai decided to go back to the restaurant and have breakfast first.

Just as he turned around, the door opened outward with a '--squeak'.

"Huh? Did you forget to close the door?" Alai who heard the voice walked back to the door and looked inside.Through the lush flowers and trees, one can vaguely see the huge figure of Ned sleeping peacefully.

A Lai thought for a while, and simply walked in. As he walked, he felt that he didn't know why. He always felt that this scene was familiar, as if it had just happened recently.

In the greenhouse, fine halos of light scattered all over the floor. Ned was fast asleep, with one wing folded to one side and the other half resting on his head, blocking the incoming sunlight.

Ned woke up the moment someone stepped into his territory, and the sound of human footsteps was loud enough for him.

But soon he realized that the person walking in was Alai.

He relaxed again, wagging his tail, and fell asleep again, Ned thought, letting drowsiness invade his mind again.

After a while, Alai finally walked around the lush flowers and approached Ned.

"Ned? Are you awake?" He approached Ned's head lying on the ground, and asked in a low voice. He hesitated and stretched out his hand to poke the wings that covered it, which was cold.

Ned closed his eyes under the wings and sniffed, "Ah, it's Lai".He was dazed thinking 'Is he here to wake me up?That's great, but I don't think about it now. '

"Ned?" Alai called again.I plan to go back to the restaurant if I still can't wake up this time.

Obviously, Ned heard Alai's voice, and he gently spread the wings covering his head, exposing his scale-covered jaw, stretched out his neck, and circled Alai.

The wings closed, Ned rubbed his chin against Alai, and fell asleep again.

"What... what?" Alai exclaimed subconsciously, his whole body was trapped near Ned's jaw, and his eyes were plunged into darkness.

He got close to Ned, and felt his long breathing and the slight opening and closing of the scales.

Hearing that the lower part of the dragon's neck is the softest part, Alai suddenly thought of the rumor that he didn't know where he heard it in the dark, and finally couldn't help stretching out his hand, and gently stroked the scales under Ned's neck.

"Huh..." Ned moved and made a grunting sound, very resembling a big dog whose chin had been rubbed.

Alai couldn't help laughing, and simply relaxed himself on Ned's neck, and closed his eyes in the darkness.

30 minute later.

The sun gradually rose, and Ned finally woke up completely after feeling the temperature of his wings under the direct sunlight.He opened his eyes in the dark, and immediately noticed Alai's existence, which was tightly attached to his cold scales, exuding warmth.

Alai's breathing was also small, blowing on his neck.

Once he realized it, he couldn't ignore it. Ned endured it, and finally couldn't hold it back, and patted his tail slightly.

The surroundings began to vibrate, Alai squinted his eyes, and woke up from a light sleep.

"Hmm...Ned? Are you awake?" He asked vaguely, stood up and yawned.

The wings were opened, and Alai, who was pierced by the light, couldn't help stretching out his hands and rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning, Lai." Ned released Lai, turned back into a human form, and raised his hand to greet him.

"Morning..." Alai responded slowly.

He blinked, looked at Ned in front of him, and finally realized what happened just now.The sleeping Ned, the sound of long breathing, and the touch of the remaining scales on his hands.

Alai stared at Ned in front of him.

Hey, is his human form originally like this?Are his eyes so bright?Today's sun always feels particularly glaring, otherwise why would he feel the temperature on his face rising?A Lai thought in a daze.

"Now that you're up, wash your face quickly. I'll wait for you in the dining room for breakfast." The next second, he turned around and walked towards the door, speaking faster and faster, his voice getting softer .

"Uh... yes." Ned looked at Alai who was walking faster and faster with red ears, and replied with some doubts, and let Alai rush out of the greenhouse.

***

What happened to me, why did I run away? !Alai rushed all the way back to the restaurant, sat on the cherry wood chair and hugged his head.

What did he do just now to respect each other?Why was he so obsessed with running into the greenhouse to wake Ned up?That's fine, why are you still sleeping!Go!up!

A Lai pressed his somewhat hot cheeks to the cold dining table, trying to calm himself down.In the final analysis, it’s not really a big deal, isn’t it just sleepy?Ned didn't seem to take it seriously either.Maybe this is normal for the Dragon Clan?

Ah Lai took a deep breath and washed his face with the cold water from the kitchen.Yes, this is actually very common, normal mind, normal mind, just keep normal mind.

When Ned walked into the restaurant, Alai put a large portion of muffins on the plate with no expression on his face, and the sweet and milky aroma filled the air wantonly.

"It's just in time, help me get some honey." Alai said with his back to Ned.

In order to save the magic power required for the operation of the refrigerator, after knowing that time in Ned's space is completely stagnant, Alai stuffed all the food that needed to be kept fresh into Ned's space.

"...Oh" Ned answered slowly, feeling a little confused about the situation before him, and he could still clearly hear Alai's rapid heartbeat.So just now he ran away in such a hurry, was it to rush back to make breakfast?

Ned pulled away the chair with doubts and sat down at the dining table, took out a large pot of amber honey from the space, and started to make tea consciously.

Sunlight poured into the dining room from the window, and the aroma of black tea and the sweetness of muffins mingled around them. For a moment, Alai could only hear the sound of the spatula tapping on the plate, and Ned's soft sound of making tea. — just like every ordinary morning he's had these past few days.

Alai turned his back to Ned, lowered his eyes, and the strange tension disappeared.

At the same time, Ned stopped making tea, looked thoughtfully at Alai's back, and his heartbeat returned to normal.

"Did you not sleep well last night? It's so strange that you actually missed the breakfast." Alai put the muffins on the table, sat down, and said to Ned who was opposite.

"Well... I went to bed late yesterday for some reason." Ned said while pouring honey on the stack of muffins that was as high as a palm, and secretly looked up at Alai.

So, was Alai still angry with him yesterday?

"Hmm... is that so, you still need to pay attention to rest." Alai cut a piece of soft muffin and put it in his mouth, pretending not to understand Ned's subtext, he said perfunctorily.He still remembered that Ned took him straight up to the sky and let him try a 'throwing on the earth' thing.It was not so easy to forgive him.

Ned swallowed the muffin in his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Alai interrupted him intentionally.

"Hurry up, I have an appointment at 10 o'clock to apply for the business certificate, and I'll be late if I don't hurry up." Alai gestured to the clean plate he had eaten, and propped his chin and said to Ned.

Ned blinked, simply stuffed the remaining muffins into his mouth, and nodded at Alai.

***

Open the 'door' and transfer.On the island of 'Iland' in the third district, the sky was unreal blue as always. Alai and Ned went straight to the Space Operations Administration after they got out of the station.

The Space Business Administration is a management organization jointly established by the 'Fourth District Space Magician Association' and the 'Three District Mastermind'.Headquartered in the south of 'Eland', it looks like...

"Alai, are you sure it's here?" Ned looked up at the building in front of him. No, it's more like a work of art than a building.

On the empty square, there are large pictures of different styles, some of which are oceans and skies, some of which are deserts and forests, and many of them are simple words written on a piece of white paper.

"Well, that's right, it's here." Alai withdrew from the system, and then looked at the square in front of him.

"However, although I probably understood something when I checked the information, I still feel miraculous when I see it..." Alai moved around the square a few steps enthusiastically, and found that no matter from which angle he looked at it, The scenery on the picture will move accordingly.

"Then did the information you checked tell us how to get in?" Unlike the curious Alai, Ned is not interested in the square in front of him. He just wants to get things done quickly and go to District [-] or District [-]. Have a good lunch.

"Let me take a look...it seems to be like this." A Lai checked the system, walked into the square and found a huge picture that said 'Business Hall' on it, he stretched out his hand according to the information on it, and his hand easily across the picture.

Alai turned his head to signal Ned to follow, and then stepped into the picture.

"Welcome to the office hall of the 'Space Business Administration'. How can I help you?" In a pure white space, a floating colored cursor changed its shape and said to Alai.

A Lai looked around and felt that he was about to be blinded.

White space with colored light, who on earth thought of building an office hall like this?

"I'm here to register for space transportation operations. May I ask where the license is obtained?" Alai asked with squinted eyes.

"Business registration needs to be sent to other space for processing, please send it?" 'Cursor' asked.

"Wait, I came with my companion, can I wait for him to arrive before teleporting?" Alai looked behind him, wondering why Ned didn't follow him in.

"The business hall receives each visitor separately. May I ask if you want to bond with a fellow traveler and handle business with him?" 'Cursor' asked again.

Well, this information is really not written above.Ned must be looking for him now.Thinking of this, Alai hurriedly confirmed the binding of the companions to the 'cursor' in front of him.

After a burst of white light, Ned in the shape of a dragon appeared in front of Alai.

The huge black dragon clenched its teeth, lowered its center of gravity, and its golden pupils formed a thin line, as if it was about to attack.

But in the next second, he saw Alai who suddenly appeared.

"Ned? What are you doing?" Alai asked the unfamiliar black dragon in a hesitant tone.

——!

Ned lay on the spot for a while, and slowly widened his eyes amid Alai's questioning voice, as if he finally realized that he had overreacted, and changed back into a human form.

"Cough, just now I just...um...wanted to stretch...hahaha, ha, ha." He moved in front of Alai with small steps, and said with a dry smile.

"Oh...is that so?" Alai raised his eyebrows at Ned, but in the end he didn't ask further.But... he can probably guess what the reason is.

"The companions have been bound successfully. Do you want to go to the 'Business Application Office' now?" The 'Cursor' in the service hall didn't care about everything that happened between Ned and Alai, but asked mechanically.Little did they know that just now, the entire office hall was in danger of being wiped out.

"Yes." Alai confirmed to it, and pinched Ned's cuff to prevent "a certain dragon" from running away casually because of the teleportation.

Another burst of white light flashed, this time the space was much more comfortable than it looked just now, like a small coffee shop where no one patronizes, with white tables and chairs inside.

Alai led Ned, who had been quiet since just now, to a random seat with two chairs and sat down.A semi-transparent light screen slowly rose on the table.

'Hello, the system 3454327 is at your service, please select the business you want to handle. '

Alai looked at the options that appeared on the light screen, and selected [Space Business Registration] under the voice reminder.

'You need to link your private system to handle business, please authorize. '

On Alai and Ned's system, a small confirmation pop-up window popped up.

【confirm】

...After a series of materials submission and review.

'Please enter a name for your registered company. 'The system displays to.

"Name, yes, we haven't named the company yet." A Lai raised his forehead with a headache, he completely forgot about this, it seems that he can only think of one.But I am completely incompetent in naming myself... Thinking of this, Alec cast a look full of expectation at Ned.

"It's up to you to be tough and honorable. Think of a resounding and easy-to-remember name." Alai patted Ned on the shoulder.

"Is that so? Let me think about it... Lai, um... Ned, Nilai, Lailai, Laid, Delai... Delai, Delai! How about a name called Delai?" Ned looked up and thought After thinking about it, he asked Alai.

"Delai... Ned and Alai? It's good, let's call it this." Alai made a final decision and entered the official name of the company into the system.

【Delai Space Transportation Company】

'Thank you for your cooperation, the information registration is successful, and the license will be sent to you through the system within 1 to 3 working days within the calendar of 'Iland' Island in the three districts, please pay attention to check it. '
