Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Ah took a look at the huge machine that attracted his attention as soon as he entered the door. It was placed ferociously on the head of the bed. Some solidified dark red liquid was stained on the black metal shell, exuding a sweet and greasy smell, as if rotten. fruit.

He was silent and did not speak.On the contrary, Ned, who was beside him, sneered slightly as if he was unhappy when he heard this.

Green, who was caught up in the storyline, didn't notice Ned's small movements, and just summed it up on his own: "But fortunately, I contacted you through the communication system that Earl left behind a few days ago. Earl must be helping me, so... please, please accept my commission and help me wake him up."

After speaking, Green stood up solemnly. He raised his right hand flatly and put his left hand behind his back, and performed the highest courtesy of the elf royal family to Alai and Ned.

Is royal protocol followed at such a time?Alai looked at Green who bowed his head in front of him, and raised his eyebrows mockingly, but he quickly adjusted his expression, and quickly stepped forward to help Green up.

"Your story has moved me, and I am determined to help you." Alai's tone was full of sincerity, and he intentionally or unintentionally blocked Ned with an ugly face behind him.

"Really?" Green's emerald eyes lit up.

"Of course, but it takes a lot of energy to wake him up, and the fee you gave may not be enough..." Alai frowned and said embarrassingly.

"What? But these are all my savings..." Green breathed out uncontrollably, as if feeling rude, he couldn't help biting his lower lip.

"...I can't, can't I think of a way? How much worse is it?" Green clenched his right hand restrainedly as if feeling ashamed about asking for help. moving.

It's a pity that no one at the scene appreciated this beauty except the sleeping Earl.

"It's about 300 gold short. As you know, we are businessmen, so we can't do business at a loss." Alai said with a business-like smile.Looking at Green with lowered eyes, he couldn't help but think of the mountains of wine bottles and expensive crystal glasses in the bar downstairs.

Green stood there hesitantly, but didn't ask Alai for the second time.His eyes quickly swept over the metal box full of gold coins on the ground, and then fixed on Earl's pale face for a long time, before finally speaking.

"For 300 gold, can I use items to offset the price?" He walked to the bed, knocked on another hidden compartment, and took out a crown with a huge emerald hanging on it.

The dark compartment is facing Earl's sleeping profile, and the crown reflects the light of the room as brightly as a gold coin, and the gemstone in the middle is exactly the same color as Green's eyes, green and verdant.

Surprisingly, this time Alai was not confused by the jewels in front of him as he was just now, but just confirmed with Green again: "Are you sure you want to do this?" Are you sure you want to choose this way?

"Yes, I'm quite sure." Green's eyes no longer hesitated, and he replied firmly.

"The transaction has been established. The Delai Transportation Company has accepted this order. I will 'charge' it for him. Please move outside the room and wait for a while." Alai said a lot to Green that he couldn't understand. The noun, fooling him to wait outside the room.

The door was closed, and only Ned, Alai, and Earl were left in the room.

"Is this out of electricity?" Ned said as he straddled the chair with his chin resting on the back of the chair.

"En." Alai nodded affirmatively, unplugged the connectors connected to the pile of machines without expression, connected them to his own system, and directly powered on Earl.

Ned didn't know why he got up from the chair, walked to Alai's side, and waited with him for the system to charge Earl.In less than 3 minutes, Earl, who had met the minimum battery, woke up.

He opened his eyes silently, a string of codes ran through his ice blue pupils, the pupils dilated and then narrowed, as if debugging.After a while, he blinked and sat up with one hand supporting himself.

"Good morning, Mr. Earl." Alai raised his hand to greet Earl.

"Hello, Mr. Alai, Mr. Ned." Earl, who just woke up, nodded politely to Alai and Ned as if he had known the person in front of him for a long time.

Alai is not surprised by this. The race of artificial humans cannot be treated according to common sense. Rather than being human, they are more inclined to be machines with simulated personalities.

"I don't think I need to explain to you what happened." Alai said to Earl.The recording function of artificial people allows them to record what is happening around them at any time. Even if they seem to be dormant, they are actually conscious. Of course, it also includes the content of cross-plane transactions recorded in the system.

After looking at the cyborg in front of him and nodding calmly, Alai asked again: "Did you do it voluntarily?"

Earl didn't speak, just nodded again.

Alai closed his eyes and swallowed all the questions he wanted to ask.A 'person' has a personal choice, and he has no right to interfere.A Lai raised his head and thought about this, but he couldn't help opening his eyes and kicked the box on the ground as if venting his anger.

"Take this as a gift for this order." Alai's eyes went from the large number of wires pulled behind Earl's ears to all the exquisite decorations in the room. He took out one of his spare solar system chargers in the space and tossed it to Earl.

"Thank you." Earl sat on the bed, holding the charger in both hands and thanked him blankly. The long wires were twisted into an inextricable knot behind him as he sat up.

"Pack these up, we should go." He said to Ned, and then he opened the door of the room without looking at the artificial man who was sitting blankly.

Outside the door stood Mr. Green in a neat uniform, looking at Alai with clear emerald green eyes, full of anticipation.

"He's already awake, so we won't bother you any more. We look forward to your patronage again." Alai put on that professional smirk, and said to Green, staggered and let him rush in the door, and Earl who had just woken up inside. Hug together.

Standing in the dark corridor, he heard the choking sound coming from inside, and let out a sneer that was exactly the same as Ned's.

***

In the courtyard of Alai’s house near the early morning, it was still under the tree full of fruits.Because it was almost autumn and the fruit was no longer shining, Alai had no choice but to turn on the hanging lamp in the yard.

Fragments of light shone down, softly hugging Alai's side, and the darkness was driven away.He let out a long sigh of relief, relaxing his shoulders that had been tense from just now, and the drowsiness gradually came up.

"Alai." Ned called to Alai who was about to go back to his room to take a good bath and sleep.

"Huh?" Alai replied sleepily.

"Which one of them do you think is telling the truth?" Ned asked, frowning in distress.

"Who is true? Ah...Mr. Green and that old lady? They should be divided equally. Both are true, and neither is true." A Lai broke free from his sleepiness and casually replied. road.

"Then what is the truth?" Ned rarely asked seriously.

"It's surprising that you are so curious about this kind of thing." Seeing that the conversation would not end for a while, Alai simply sat down in the courtyard. It was almost dawn, and the moon gradually disappeared.

"Hmm..." Ned fell silent when asked by Alai.

He was puzzled by what he encountered today. The robot named Earl obviously couldn't sleep to help his lover, but the man named Green, although he kept saying that he loved him, still used his Energy makes 'Toto' wine.Even made up such a story full of lies.

Can this be considered love?Why didn't the android named Earl leave him?

"Do you think Green doesn't actually love Earl, but is just using him?" Alai seemed to see Ned's doubts, and asked softly, holding his chin, his dark eyes reflected Ned's doubtful face .

Without waiting for Ned to answer, he asked again: "If you don't love him, why is he willing to use all his property to wake him up?"

Ned couldn't answer these two questions, so he could only shake his head.

"I think it's probably because of that Mr. Green. Now I have a choice." A Lai, who hadn't expected Ned to answer, showed an unclear smile, whether it was ridicule or emotion.

"What do you mean?" Ned tilted his head, more confused.

"I mean, there were only two paths in front of Green at the time. Keep making 'Toto' and put Earl to sleep forever, or quit making 'Toto' and save Earl. As for his choice, we both Got it, and Earl knows it too."

Alai changed to a more comfortable position, clasped his hands and continued.

"But the situation is different now. Our arrival has provided him with a stable supply of goods. He no longer needs to make a choice. He naturally hopes to wake up his lover. It's that simple." Alai shrugged, Spread the hand and said.

Unlike Alai who calmly accepted this fact, Ned's brows became more and more frowned.In the past, he would never think about these troublesome issues, but now...

I don't know why but I'm upset!Whether it's the goblin named Green or the artificial man named Earl, they all make him feel very uncomfortable!

Alai raised his eyes to look at Ned, who seemed extremely irritable, and stretched his waist. In fact, his mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. Although he explained it to Ned, what is the truth? Woolen cloth?

What kind of mood did Earl, who was still connected to the machine when he was in a coma, feel?Although it is an artificial human, since it can feel love, it should also feel hate, right?

What was Mr. Green thinking, who painted love, hatred, sadness, greed...on such a blank sheet of paper?

Thinking of this, Alai yawned big.He shook his head, unwilling to think about these irrelevant issues, he simply stood up and went back to his room to take a shower.

As for the stupid dragon in the yard, what conclusions would he draw after his constant thinking?

That's for the future too.
