Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Come to think of it, this only happened a week ago.

At that time, Alai was still working at the Space Magic Transportation Center in District [-]. One day when he was eating hot pot leisurely at home, he received a new order.

A human magician who is also in the fourth district needs to find someone to help 'move'.

This guest seems to have come to the fourth district through a space from a magical plane in the sixth district. Things like 'upgrading the district' often happen in the sixth district, but most of them are magical creatures such as goblins and orcs. Human races like him are relatively rare.

It may be because he just arrived in the fourth district. The guest obviously couldn't 'move' by himself for the time being, so he hired Alai to help.

Ah took a look at the coordinates on the order, and it looked familiar. He had been to this plane several times.This plane seems to be extremely hot in most areas, and the outdoor temperature exceeds 150° during the day, making it a paradise for fire magic creatures.

The requirements are simple, the pay is good, except the temperature in there is really annoying.But to be honest, the list has become less and less recently, and he doesn't have to choose.

He took the order, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, calmed down and tapped the glass, and a yellow door appeared in the kitchen out of thin air.Alai brought the magic temperature controller and thermos cup on the table, and opened the door with ease.

***

Outside is a wilderness, the sun is shining straight down, everything in sight seems to be melted by the sun, and twisted together. ——No wonder you want to 'move', this place is indeed not suitable for human habitation.

Alai turned around and closed the door casually, and knocked again.

After a while, a blond human magician opened the door.Apparently, the space inside the door has been swapped for the client's home.

"Hi, I'm Alai from the Space Magic Transportation Center, may I be Mr. Edward, the first day in the world?" There is no one named after this, Alai complained in his heart, and called the customer call.

"Yes, you can just call me Edward. Please come in, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Edward inside the door was unnaturally pale. He coughed twice and invited Alai into the house.

It was a two-story European-style building, which exuded the smell of money from the inside out.The room was very messy, with scorched marks everywhere.

"I'm sorry, the house is a bit messy. The magic stove in the kitchen exploded a few days ago." Edward explained weakly.He moved his feet unnaturally, trying to block Alai's sight.

"That's really unfortunate, are you okay?" Alai asked Edward with concern.

He quickly raised his eyes and glanced at the room. The broken stone table corners, spray-like magic patterns, and the remaining fire elements in the air were all attacked by fire magic.

The situation of "customer being hunted down" is actually quite common for Alai, and he doesn't intend to meddle in his own business.In fact, nearly 10% of the customers who contact the Space Magic Transportation Center are because they can't stay in that plane anymore and want to 'run away'. —It seems that this Mr. Edward is the same.

"Have you packed your luggage? Before I help you 'move', I need to confirm to you that you have carefully read our company's terms of service. Your customized 'move' service is limited to one person, and the items you carry cannot exceed 1KG, are you clear?" A Lai asked with a businesslike attitude, withdrawing his gaze.

"Yeah, it's clear, I don't have any luggage, can we leave now?" Edward asked eagerly, looking very in a hurry.

"Wait a minute, I need to confirm your identity first, please show your order." Alai took out his old magic instrument that was about to fall apart and said to Edward.

"Is it this?" Edward hurriedly took out a crumpled receipt from his jacket pocket.

Alai nodded, raised the magic instrument, and scanned the order in Edward's hand. ——Confirmation is correct.

He put away the magic instrument, opened the thermos cup he carried with him, and prepared to open the 'door'.

At this moment, the ground under Alai's feet suddenly shook.A huge fireball fell from the sky, shattered the roof all the way, and came straight to Edward.

"Be careful!" Edward yelled.In the nick of time, he grabbed Alai who was casting magic, and led him out of the house.Behind them, the whole house was ablaze.

Without even turning his head, Edward skillfully cast several speed-up spells, and dragged Alai to run wildly.

However, after running for a while, Alai forcibly stopped Edward.

I can't run anymore, Ah Lai thought out of breath.He is a weak space magician, and the other party is not looking for him, why should he run after him?

Edward was forced to stop by Alai.Although he didn't run far enough, it wasn't a big problem. As long as the space magician was still there, he would be able to escape from this hot and frightening place immediately.

"Quick, open the 'door' quickly, and use space magic!" Edward urged anxiously.

Alai looked at Edward speechlessly. To be honest, if they hadn't been pulled at that time, the two of them would have opened the door and escaped by now.

"Sorry, Mr. Edward, the 'door' cannot be opened now." Alai calmed down and said to Edward. ? ? ?

"What did you say? What do you mean 'the door' can't be opened? Does it mean we can't leave?" Edward asked.

"My magic needs a certain amount of liquid, water, tea, milk... any liquid is fine, but as you can see..." Alai said while raising the empty thermos cup in his hand. Running wildly all the way, not a single drop was left, and the remaining water droplets on the wall of the cup were also evaporated instantly by the high temperature.

"Then what should we do? We shouldn't be trapped here?!" Edward yelled in panic.I thought I could escape this ghost place by ordering the 'moving' service, but since I was promoted here in the sixth district, nothing has gone well.

"It's not completely impossible." Alai said hesitantly.To be honest, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Without a general 'medium'... Although I am very reluctant, I can actually use blood as a 'medium', but to open the 'door' for two people May require a lot of blood.

Thinking of this, Alai couldn't help but look at Edward standing in front of him. He was physically strong and still had the strength to drag him away, so he must be able to bleed a lot.

It's a pity - the other party is still his client.He could only use his own blood, so Alai took out a knife and tentatively cut his index finger with the tip of the knife.But the crimson blood lost the protection of the magic thermometer when it left the fingertips, and quickly solidified under the high temperature.It seems that at this temperature, any kind of liquid will just evaporate.

It is still necessary to find the water source again, otherwise they will really be trapped here. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Alai was forced to get serious.

"Mr. Edward, I need your help so that I can activate space magic. Do you know where the nearest place to get the liquid is?" Alai asked Edward in a serious tone.

"Let's think about it, liquid, water..." Edward paced back and forth, trying to remember.

"Except for my house, which is likely to be burned down now... I only know that it is nearby, um... about 10 kilometers to the south, there is a cave, there may be groundwater in it? In fact, I have not been here long, and I used magic to get there. It won't be long." Edward said hesitantly, with more than a little guilt in his voice.

"10 kilometers? Are there no other races living near here?" Alai was shocked.

Is this place so remote?Why live in the wilderness?This Mr. Edward—how shameful you are! ?I don't know if it's too late to cancel the order now and hand over Edward?

But... no, no! 'Alai, where's your contract spirit? 'How can you leave important customers behind at a time like this?And don't forget, if the order fails, the salary will be deducted!

Be calm!The more you get to this kind of time, the more calm you need to be.

"Then you go get water, I'll wait for you here." Alai finally calmed down, and he handed the thermos cup to Edward as he said.That's right, just ask Edward to bring the water, don't panic.

"Wait, aren't you going with me?" Edward asked exaggeratedly.

"It's not necessary, and your magic is about speed, right? It will be slower if you bring me along." Alai tried to explain to Edward.Are you kidding me, he can't run anymore!

"But I'm not sure if there is any water in the cave, and the people who just attacked will catch up at any time." Edward tried to convince Alai that this place is too close to his home, and the group of stubborn fire elves don't know anything Time will catch up, of course, to be on the safe side, run as far as possible.

--boom!

While the two were discussing, a flame fell from the sky again.Should it be said that it is the so-called strongest single-celled creature - the fire elf?Without saying a word, it was a mess when they came up.

Edward skillfully grabbed Alai again, and ran towards the cave regardless of 21.
