Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

This is the third floor of the bar, Mr. Green's living room.Different from the half-metal and half-wooden structure below, the decoration on the third floor is entirely made of metal materials. The walls painted in silver and white, as well as the precision parts and huge instruments placed everywhere, all make this room look a little bit different. A sense of technology that is incompatible with the forest.

But the strange thing is that the all-metal room does not make people feel cold. The warm wood-colored bed, patchwork green plants, and the hand-woven velvet blanket on the sofa add a bit of strangeness to the place. Feel at home.

And in the room covered by this pile of metal, there is a 'person' lying.To be precise, it cannot be regarded as a human race, with profound facial features, short silver hair, bare mechanical arm armor on the arm, and the connection port behind the ear.

A Lai could tell at a glance that the motionless human figure lying on the bed in front of him was the mechanically modified human from the fifth district, also known as an 'artificial human'.

'Artifacts' are one of the resident races of a certain plane in District [-]. Most of them are composed of various human races that have undergone transformation, and a few are semi-smart creatures eliminated from District [-]. Over a long period of time, they Gradually expanded, and derived into an independent huge race, but this race is always somewhat mysterious in the eyes of creatures from other planes. ——I didn't expect to meet here.

"This is Earl, my love." Mr. Green introduced gently. He walked to the bed and gently took the mechanical arm. His emerald eyes stared at the sleeping robot without blinking. On the face, the green color seems to be dripping water, soft like a bottomless deep pool.

The young man called 'Earl' didn't notice such affectionate eyes. He lay quietly on the bed. Because he was a man-made man, even his body temperature was cold, and he didn't even have the ups and downs of breathing. .Rather than falling asleep, it is more like a 'corpse'.

"Hi, Mr. Earle, I'm Alai, and this is my partner Ned." Alai stepped forward with a natural expression, and greeted the sleeping Earle as if he was still awake.

Ned stood next to Alai, and nodded to Earl, as if he had greeted him.

Alai's calm attitude seemed to give Green some courage, he put down Earl's hand, took a deep breath and said to Alai: "The order I want to entrust is that you can let him and Earl wake up. "

"You have to know that we are a transportation company, and your entrustment is not within our business scope." As early as the moment he saw Earl, Alai probably guessed what Green was thinking. He didn't say much, but tactfully refused road.

"I know this makes it difficult for you." Green, who was standing by the bed, showed a wry smile. He stretched out his hand and naturally tucked the quilt for Earl, and then said again: "Actually, I have tried all kinds of things. There is a solution, your arrival is my last hope."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Alai to refuse again, he decisively walked to an inconspicuous corner of the room, and dragged out a beautifully shaped metal box from a hidden cabinet behind the wall.

He put his hands on one side, pushed the box to Alai with difficulty, then took a golden key with complicated patterns from his neck, and turned it left and right to open the box.

This box, which was as big as a box of Coke, was filled with shiny gold coins. Reflected by the metal wall, they exuded incomparable beauty, and instantly captured Alai's heart.

"These are all my savings. I just ask you to finish listening to my story, and then come back and decide whether you want to help me save him. If he wakes up, all the gold coins here will belong to you." Green looked at it reluctantly. After glancing at the gold coins in the box, he finally spoke firmly to Ah Lai.

A Lai tried his best to look away from the pile of gold coins, letting his mind break away temporarily from the power of money.This kind of invitation is so hard to refuse.In his eyes, Mr. Green in front of him was covered with golden light.

"Then, please tell me, but I must first explain to you that we are in the transportation business and do not have the ability to save 'people'." Alai silently swallowed the sentence that had already been brought to his mouth, "but with Your order', said pretendingly.

Green nodded seriously and sat down on the edge of the bed. He stared at Earl's pale cheeks and told the story of what happened to him.

That happened almost 10 years ago. At that time, the forest goblins lived in a forest further north from here. They built city-states, brewed fine wine, and lived peacefully and happily.

Until one day, a goblin named 'Toto' discovered a terrible and evil plant. At first, because the wine brewed from this plant was very delicious, the goblins planted it one after another and tried to brew all kinds of wine from it. Such a delicious drink.

But soon, the king of the goblin clan discovered that this plant named 'Toto' grows very domineeringly. It will not only destroy the growth of nearby vegetation, but also draw groundwater endlessly for his own growth. .

If it is a small amount of planting in a short period of time, it is not a big problem.But as more and more goblins planted 'Toto', the kingdom's underground water resources began to gradually dry up.Trees died in large numbers because of the loss of water sources, and no new plants could grow on the land where 'Toto' was planted.

If this continues, one day the goblins will lose their homeland.Realizing this, the king sent his most beloved son to prevent the people from planting this plant at will.

But the people who have been dazzled by the huge profits brought by 'Toto' have long been unable to listen to the prince's advice.Instead, they suspected that the king had ulterior motives, thinking that he wanted to monopolize this precious plant.

"That's when I met Earl." Green stopped talking, glanced at the pile of mechanical devices beside the bed, the corners of his mouth curled up as if trying to pull out a smile, but those emerald eyes, At this time, it is like a piece of fragile green glass, which will be shattered with just a light touch.

He lowered his eyes, clasped Earl's cold right hand with both hands, and then continued.

"Ear is the name I gave him. When I met him in the forest, he looked like he didn't remember anything. His name, identity, and past were all forgotten, like a white paper that could be painted on. Paper. It’s fine if it’s just amnesia, but he is so strong that all the guards who went with me were stunned by him one by one.”

When Green said this, he tapped Earl's exposed mechanical arm and shook his head helplessly.

"The rest of the things are mostly those little stories between me and Earl that I'm embarrassed to tell outsiders. In short... we fell in love." When he talked about this, Green's eyes finally shone with some brilliance. He pursed his lips and smiled in embarrassment, but soon his expression became heavy again.

"At that time, I mean that when Earl and I were together, it was the most critical period for the kingdom. With the implementation of the 'Toto' restriction order, the people's dissatisfaction with the royal family was increasing. It was the royal family's fault that they thought it was, and everything got out of hand."

"Later, my father discovered the relationship between Earl and me. The hatred of the public and my father's opposition made me unbearable at that time..."

Green staggered his eyes, unwilling to look at the sleeping Earl again. He folded his arms as if refusing something, and paused for a long time before continuing.

"So I ran away and took Earl. We left everything and lived incognito in this forest. It was the best time of my life...but soon, I got the news of my father's death. Bad The news came one after another, the king is gone, and other goblins have moved here one after another."

He took a deep breath.

"The most frightening thing is that the residents here have found new 'Toto' tree seeds from nowhere and plan to replant them. Our last shelter will also disappear."

When Green said this, he closed his eyes sadly.

But obviously, the tragic past that made Green heartbroken did not impress Ned who was present.He stood aside, folded his arms and listened to his storytelling, shifting his weight from his left foot to his right foot, and then from his right foot to his left foot. It was almost dawn, but the person in front of him hadn’t gotten to the point. De turned his neck impatiently, dragged a chair and sat down, and stared blankly at Alai.

Alai glanced at Ned lightly, knowing that if he continued to listen, a certain dragon would not be able to stay, and he was too sleepy since the morning toss, so he interrupted Green's meditation and urged slightly.

"Since this is the case, why did Mr. Earle fall into a deep sleep?" After talking for a long time, can we just talk about the main points?

"Sorry." As if realizing that he himself had talked too much, Green finally got to the point.

"Earl's deep sleep, in fact, has a direct connection with 'Toto'. Everything stems from my fear of 'Toto', since other residents replanted 'Toto' in the forest, I have not slept After a good night's sleep, I always feel that this forest will turn into a desert like the capital in the next second."

"Earl couldn't bear to see me worrying about it day and night, so he secretly studied 'Toto' wine. Later, he discovered that the charm of Toto wine came from a substance called 'carbonic acid', so he used his own The energy begins to produce 'carbonic acid'."

'So the goblins here are destroying the country for 'carbonated drinks'?And let artificial people use energy to produce 'carbonic acid' or something, is the chemical knowledge here so poor?There are too many slots and I don't know where to spit it out. 'Hearing this, Alai couldn't help but silently slandered.

But Green didn't know what Alai was thinking, and continued to talk.

"After that, things went smoothly, and the goblins accepted the new taste of 'Toto' wine. But because of this, Earl's energy was gradually exhausted. Finally one day, he fell into a complete deep sleep. "

When he said this, he held up the thin red wire like a cable behind Earl's ear with his fingers. The other end of the wire was connected to a strange machine. It seemed that the machine had stopped rotating. In the transparent glass jar of something, there is still a little bit of dark red unknown liquid remaining at this moment.

The author has something to say:

The next chapter ends this world.

By the way, if you want to see what Alai and Ned eat, you can order food, and I will arrange it.Anyway, the dragon people don't get fat from eating, so breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and supper are all served!
