Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

At the end of summer and early autumn, the light and heat of midsummer still have a lingering power, and the alternation of high temperature and heavy rain creates the chaos of changing seasons.But at this time, in the valley located at the southernmost tip of the mainland, the autumn of harvesting all things has already arrived ahead of schedule.

Layers of mountains prevent the invasion of heat and humidity, and at the same time provide a valuable shelter for this quiet valley from prying eyes from outsiders.

At this time, a tiger cub was lowering its body in the grass, waiting quietly.The yellow weeds in autumn blended with his fur, forming a natural protective color, and he stared ahead vigilantly.

There, two white foxes with three tails were playing unsuspectingly in the grass.

The tiger cub was very patient, waiting for the moment when the fox clan was having the most fun, then he used his hind legs to pounce on it like an arrow off the string.With his forelegs, he threw one of the foxes into the grass, while he stepped on the tail of the other one and let out a cry of pain.

"—Wow! It hurts... Woooo, my tail!" The fox clan whose tail was trampled whimpered and turned into a seven- or eight-year-old doll in a white robe with a bang , the tail has also changed.

Big tears rolled from his blue eyes and dripped on the yellow weeds, causing the grass to sprout again, and it didn't take long for the meadow where he stood to become lush and green.

"I'm crying again, isn't it just to step on your tail..." The little tiger climbed up from the body of another fox clan, and also turned into a human form, and said a little embarrassingly.

The other fox, Bai Mi, slowly climbed up from the grass, ignoring his brother who was crying heartbroken, and only took two steps back, knocking down the tiger orc who had turned into a human in front of him with a running run .

The little tiger didn't realize it was bumped into him, and he didn't care whether he was crying or not, so he started fighting with Baimi.The two little guys have one bite for you and one claw for me, biting and scratching lively.

The little foxes who were crying over there stopped crying and just watched them fight blankly with their noses twitching.

And not far from them, a palm-sized elf cub was lying in the blooming flowers and sleeping late, as if disturbed by the noise, silently covering its pointed ears.

A few winged cubs flapped their white wings and passed by at low altitude, leaving behind a series of crisp laughter.The centaur cubs in the forest were chasing the fast-running goblin cubs, and the mermaids surfaced by the lake, spat a few bubbles and dived again.

This is the lost cub center located in Mengmeng Continent in District 2005. There are currently [-] lost cubs living here. Most of them are the orcs with the highest reproduction rate, but there are also abandoned cubs such as goblins, sky clans, and demons. Cub.

When these cubs were having fun, a white-striped gyrfalcon flew across the sky, flapping its wings powerfully, and let out a loud and distant cry.

For a moment, those who were fighting, playing, and sleeping all stopped, and ran in the same direction tacitly.

"It's time to go back, it's time for dinner."

"Dinner is ready! Go!"

"What are you eating today? Are you hungry~"

Due to the limited number of staff, the Lost Cubs Center keeps the cubs of most races in a free-range state, and has strict regulations on the eating time.If you miss the opening time of the cafeteria because of playfulness, you will only be hungry for this meal, so all the cubs are very punctual.

The cafeteria is located in the lee of the valley to the north, next to the residential area, and the specially painted red spire is very conspicuous.The orc cubs closest to the canteen ran the fastest, relying on the superior physical ability of the orcs, they rushed into the canteen first.

But just getting there, a small group of cubs with keen senses stopped.Some froze, some fluffed their hairs and scanned their surroundings vigilantly, and some older ones turned around and ran away...

In the cafeteria, there are very, very scary top predators entrenched. Some cubs feel the danger with the instinct engraved in their blood, but more dull cubs look at the strange behavior of their friends with blank faces. reaction.

"What's the matter with you?" The little centaurs who came later looked at the group of orc cubs standing stupidly at the door, and asked suspiciously.

What answered them was a crisp "beep" sound in the cafeteria.

***

According to the coordinates sent by Nino, Alai activated the magic to open the 'door'.Outside the door is a vast valley, with the cool autumn wind blowing, with the sweet smell of ripe fruit.

Ah Lai turned around and looked at the building he had just stepped out of. It was a huge flat floor with a red spire, and a huge chimney stood abruptly beside the house, and white smoke was coming out of it.

Alai pushed open the door again and looked in. There were all kinds of tables and chairs in the fully open and transparent space. The bigger ones were taller than Alai, and the smaller ones were only the size of water glasses.In the semi-open kitchen further inside, someone was busy walking around with various ingredients.

It seems that this building should be the cafeteria here. Thinking so, Alai raised his hand and knocked on the door, but didn't go in, and only called out to the people inside: "Hello? Is this the lost cub center? "

The small voice passed through the vast cafeteria hall and reached the ears of the orc uncle Hain, who had extremely sensitive hearing.He stopped his hands to concentrate on chopping meat and raised his head. His good eyesight allowed him to clearly see Alai, Ned, and the little dragon they were holding in their hands.

A breath of dragon clan came faintly, and his pupils shrank suddenly, condensing to the size of pinholes, and it took him a while to calm down, poking his head out of the glass window and replying: "Wait a minute, I'll be here soon. "

Hayne had heard that dragons were dangerous to most races. They were powerful and free-wheeling, and they were not picky at all. Whether they were orcs or elves, they were all on their hunting recipes.

He hurriedly washed his hands, wiped them dry on the rag, and then quickly walked towards Alai and the others standing at the door.While walking, he tried his best to hide his half-beast-like arm.

When he stood in front of Alai, he managed to calm down. He said with a straight face, "This is the cafeteria of the Lost Cub Center. Who are you? What are you doing here?" His voice was very calm, only His slightly trembling hands revealed a little restlessness in his heart.

"It's like this. We picked up a young dragon and hope to help him find his parents. Someone told me that coming here can get good help." Alai keenly sensed the wary attitude of the orc standing in front of him. , took the initiative to speak.

Was it the baby dragon you picked up?Hein was visibly relieved when he heard Alai's words. Just now, he thought that the two people in front of him were from the dragon race, and the trace of coercion was not suppressed for a while... If it was Xiaolong, it would make sense up.

"So that's the case, then you have found the right place. Although our center has only been established recently, taking care of the cubs and finding parents for them is definitely, this." Hein said with a thumbs up gesture.

After confirming that the one in front of him was a little dragon with no attack power, he relaxed, even his tone changed, and he introduced to Alai with joy.

"That's it, where is the person in charge here? I want to take Xiaolong to register first. His parents must be in a hurry now. It's a good thing to find them sooner." Alai didn't care about the sudden change of attitude in front of him. the orc, asked only politely.

"Look at me, this matter really cannot be delayed. Let me show you the way. When you go out, turn right and climb up a small hill. You can see a three-story building with a red roof. That's where it is. The office building is gone. You go in and find a Mr. Bai, he is the person in charge of our place and can solve the problem for you." Hai En said with a pat on the head.

"Looking for Mr. Bai, right? I've made a note of it, thank you. Then we'll go there." Alai nodded, thanked with a smile, and was about to leave with Ned.

At this moment, I don't know if it was because of Hai En's loud voice just now, or because of the new environment, Xiaolong woke up.He didn't know what he was dissatisfied with, he arched his chubby body, flapped his wings, and started crying without saying a word.

Not long after the buzz sounded, and before Ah Lai had time to get a headache, there were several muffled "bang bang" sounds of falling to the ground at the door, as well as the sound of chaotic footsteps.

A Lai looked towards the door subconsciously, and saw the furry, orc cubs of different races lying on the ground, some of them had passed out, and some looked older and were shaking.

"—?" What happened?A Lai was startled and was about to walk over there.

"Wait." Ned grabbed him.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to have a look, and I won't touch them." Alai thought Ned was worried about him, and assured him soothingly.

"That's not the case. They were overwhelmed by the coercion that Xiaolong unleashed unconsciously. They will recover naturally when he stops crying." Ned explained speechlessly, stroking Xiaolong's back with his hands, trying to make him feel better. Be quiet.

"Is that so? Then why didn't I feel it?" Alai asked suspiciously.

He took a closer look at the group of shivering furries on the ground, as if they were indeed scared, but he didn't feel it at all.

"Cough...well, some orcs have sharper senses after all." Ned coughed and said tactfully.

To put it bluntly, as a human being, his senses are dull, Alai complained silently.He didn't try to go over, just reached out to take Xiaolong, and stroked his back just like Ned did.

Perhaps it was because of the familiar smell from birth, Xiaolong gradually calmed down in Alai's hands, and the group of furries outside also stopped trembling.

When something like this happened in the cafeteria, the relevant person in charge rushed over quickly. Mr. Bai, whom the uncle mentioned just now, also came to the scene. He only looked around the cafeteria, and hurried towards Alai and the others.

He was wearing a snow-white robe with wide sleeves embroidered with silver threads, his long silver-white hair was tied up in a bun, and he was wearing a hair-studded white jade crown. He had a pair of royal-blue fox eyes, and he was full of charm before he spoke.

"Hello, I'm the person in charge here. My surname is Bai. You can call me Xiaobai. Dare I ask you two gentlemen's surnames? What's the purpose of this visit?" His voice was crisp and soft, with a smile on his face.

It's a pity that both Alai and Ned are wary of Mr. Bai in front of them, and no one appreciates this good voice.

Alai had dealt with people like this Mr. Bai before, and he knew that the gentleman in front of him was not an orc of the fox clan, but a fox demon, which was not easy.

Ned simply felt threatened and subconsciously rejected all the good-looking creatures near his 'partner'.

Seeing that as soon as he finished his self-introduction, the people in front of him became wary of him. Mr. Bai smiled deeper, but his forehead was slightly bulging with veins.What's the matter with these two people, it's fine to come in uninvited, and they stunned most of the orc cubs in one breath, so I'm ashamed to be on guard first.

Fortunately, Alai didn't let the situation continue to deteriorate, and took the initiative to speak: "My name is Alai, and this is my partner Ned. We came here this time to seek help. As for what happened just now..."

Ah took a look at the cubs who had woken up one after another and were taken away by other staff members, and sincerely apologized: "I'm really sorry, I didn't think that the dragon pressure unconsciously emitted by Xiaolong would have such The power will scare the cubs of the orc clan."

"I don't think you did it on purpose, and the children didn't suffer much harm. At most, they can sleep for a while. But you just said to ask for help. What exactly is it?" It's useless to pursue this matter , you can't blame the other party for sending the cub here, can you?Mr. Bai could only pretend to be generous and forgive Alai.

When Ah Lai heard this, he knew that this matter was a turning point.He hurriedly raised the little dragon in his hand and said, "We picked up a baby dragon this morning, and I would like to ask you to register it and help find his parents."

Speaking of his work, Mr. Bai finally looked better. He looked at the little dragon carefully, and readily agreed: "It's no problem. It's our job to help the lost cubs. Please move to the Office building, I will register for you."

"Okay, let's go now." Alai agreed.He breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was finally settled, and he just had to keep an eye on the progress in this aspect silently. He even started thinking about having a good meal and taking a hot bath after returning home.

Unexpectedly, when he cooperated with Mr. Bai to complete the registration and was about to foster Xiaolong here, he was flatly rejected.

"We will notify you as soon as we find Xiaolong's parents. Please take him home first and wait patiently." Mr. Bai refused with a smile.

"Why? Isn't this a special place to rescue lost cubs? Just let him stay for a few days and wait for his parents to pick him up." Alai tried to reason.

"That's what I said... But Xiaolong is born with dragon prestige. If he is fostered here, what will the other orc cubs do? It's not that we don't want to help, it's just that the situation doesn't allow it." Mr. Bai looked like Sighing helplessly, there was a hint of gloating in the eyes of a pair of foxes.

A Lai choked for a moment, he really couldn't refute this matter.But if you don't foster her here... Do you want him to take care of her temporarily?

Thinking of this, he glanced at the little dragon who was crawling around on Ned as an explorer.The little tail is flicking and flicking, and the two short wings are flapping cutely, looking cute.

If you raise him, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it?

***

After returning home with Xiaolong, the time in the space was approaching evening.Ned and Alai discussed setting up an oven, and they simply had an open-air barbecue with the night breeze.

In the brightly lit courtyard, a conversation about the dragon's name is unfolding.

"Although it's only for a few days, it's better to give it a name. What should I call it?" Alai asked Ned while flipping the red willow mutton in his hand.

"Can't we just call it Xiaolong? It's simple and easy to remember." Ned said casually, all his attention was on the barbecue.

"All dragons are little dragons...that's not a name at all." Alai retorted, and sprinkled a layer of cumin powder on the mutton.

"That's right, why not have your surname, Ah Hei." Ned seriously suggested.

What kind of stupid name is this? Alai couldn't stand it anymore, and objected: "This name is no good, it's too ugly. Besides... I don't have a surname." Alai complained, and took the baked The mutton was put on a plate and passed to Ned.

"——? Isn't your surname 'A'? Then what's your surname?" Just realized that he didn't know the name of his 'partner'. Ned couldn't even bother to eat, and asked hastily.

"I don't have a surname, only a first name. My name is Alai." Alai said with a smile, staring straight at the double moon hanging above the courtyard, his tone couldn't tell whether he was relieved or confused.

The light hit his face, and his black hair intertwined with the night into a shadow, like a cloud covering the moon.

Ned's chest suddenly tightened. Although it was only for a short moment, he did feel Alai's influx of emotions. It was clearly painful, but it wasn't the bloody kind. It was more like something was swimming in his body. It is trying to break out of the bone, bringing a fine and dense itching from the inside.

But the complicated emotions didn't last long. Before Ned could do anything, the little dragon, who smelled the aroma of barbecue, yelled "Guji Guji", expressing the meaning very clearly, "I'm hungry! I want to eat!" .

Ah Lai came back to his senses, smiled helplessly, took out a small piece of cheese and fed it to Xiaolong, to see how sweet he ate it.

"Why don't we just call it cheese?" Alai's tone was rare and gentle.

"Very good, I have no objection." Ned shrugged pretending to be indifferent, his expression was always indifferent.He touched his chest quietly, and swallowed the doubts on his lips.He just silently engraved Alai's expression just now in his heart.

In the quiet autumn night, a puff of green smoke rose straight up in the courtyard, obscuring the afterimage of the moonlight. Xiaolong flapped his wings and ate cheese carefree amidst the whispers of Alai and Ned.

There are people in the long night, and the moonlight is gentle.

Ask, did they forget something?

That's right, it's the little dough in the refrigerator,

The fermentation time has passed, and it is impossible to make baked bread~
