Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Chapter 42 The Waiting Sentinel

Avery and Werther embraced on the street, their silver-white fishtails intertwined with cobalt blue, and the azure sea water coated them with a layer of soft light, just like in a dream.

Avery clasped Werther's thick shoulders tightly, his fiery red hair was gorgeous and bright, just like his mood.He felt Werther's body temperature and beating heart, and he felt unprecedented peace of mind.

Compared with this pair of lovers who got their wish, Alai's situation is not so good.

There was no special reaction when he first entered the sea, but as Werther's swimming speed accelerated, after running a few steps along with him, Alai, who is a waste material magician, turned pale obviously.

In order not to lose his precious guest, Alai had no choice but to ask Ned to hold him and follow Werther all the way.But the seabed is different from the land after all. Although protected by instruments, Alai still felt a state similar to seasickness.

Concerned about Alai's body, Ned had no choice but to slow down, and finally caught up with Werther at this moment.

Ned rounded the corner, seeing the two mermaids in front of him hugging each other, unable to part for a while, then looked at Alai who urgently needed to find a place to rest in his arms.Without hesitation, a word interrupted this sweet and exciting scene.

"I know you are very happy to meet, but how long do you two have to hold each other? If it is too long, can you change to a place where you can sit down first, my partner is not very comfortable." Ned said in a calm voice.

Ned's voice was like a thunder, which shocked Werther and Avery who were immersed in emotion.They looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and both of them seemed a little unresponsive.

Alai leaned against Ned with his eyes slightly closed, and after hearing Ned's words, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but the smile that came to his mouth made his dizziness worse.

"Mr. Witt, if it's convenient, can you find a quiet place first? I think you probably need a more private environment." Alai said in a weak tone, opened his eyes and glanced around meaningfully.

Avery and Werther followed Alai's line of sight, only to realize that because of the hug just now, they had already attracted the attention of many mermaids, and more and more mermaids passing by gathered around them.

Avery looked at it for a while, and finally realized what he had just done on the spur of the moment. With a blushing face, he let go of Werther, and took a step back.

Werther was just pushed away a little, and the next second he hugged Avery again.To him, the mermaids watching were irrelevant, and hugging his little guide was nothing to be ashamed of.

"White?" Eli called in a low voice, as if he didn't understand why White hugged him again.

"Hmm." Werther replied with a monotone, knowing that unlike him, his little guide was shy.I had no choice but to let go of my hand reluctantly.

"Let's find a quiet place to sit down and talk. Is there a store you are familiar with near here?" Witt asked Ellie.

"Yes, I often go to that store, and it's quite quiet." Avery replied.

So the group of people walked to a hidden shop that only accepts members half a street away, despite the sight of passers-by.The store was quiet and the privacy of the guests was fully taken care of. The service fish politely took them into the VIP room.

Everyone sat down by the window, and Avery, as the host, took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of the starting point. "Would you like something to eat?" Ellie asked, looking around the crowd.

"Just look at it." Witt said softly, looking as if he was full of water.

Ned didn't say a word, and all his attention was on Alai.

Avery nodded. Concerned about the difference in appetite between humans and mermaids, he simply chose a few signature drinks and snacks, and called the service fish to place an order.

Witt heard it at this time, only to find that he could not understand the language used by the service fish at this time, it was more like a string of meaningless notes, but he could clearly understand the meaning of what Ellie said.This just confirmed his original guess.Werther's mind was complicated for a while, and he lost his mind.

There was only one group of customers in the store, and the dishes were served quickly.

At night, fish schools swim by outside the window, and the colorful coral under the bright lights. The air pressure in the store is stable and the temperature is suitable. After sitting for a while, Alai finally regained some energy.

At this time, a magician, a dragon, a mermaid, and a 'sentinel', the four creatures of different races looked at each other for a while, and it was Alai who spoke thoughtfully.

"Let's go to the next room for a while, I think you probably need some time alone." Alai said with a smile, and pulled Ned out of the awkward room.

The door was gently opened and closed, leaving Avery and Werther alone in the room.

The excitement when they first met faded away, and the two people, who strictly speaking were meeting for the first time, felt a little closer to their hometown and became timid.In the end, Avery couldn't bear the curiosity and spoke first.

"Witt, how did you find me? What happened to your fishtail? Who were those two people just now?" Avery was full of doubts, and the question marks on his head almost materialized.

Four questions in a row, all of which would not be clear for a while. Werther opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start.Thinking about it this way, the things that have happened to him in the past year are too unimaginable. Maybe from the day he dreamed of his little guide, his world is destined to be turned upside down.

Werther leaned on the seat made of unknown material, shook his head and laughed, and patiently told Avery the incredible things that happened since they met in the dream for the last time.

……

"That is to say... are we actually living in different worlds? This kind of thing, this kind of... how is it possible?" After listening to Werther's words, Avery couldn't help but muttered to himself.

It's not that he doesn't believe Werther's words. All that happened in the past can only be explained in this way.But what Werther just said was too unbelievable. He always thought Werther was a human living on land, just like those sailors who occasionally strayed into their country by boat.

Now Werther tells him that the world he lives in is just one of thousands of worlds, and Werther is a person from another world.Even though so many unbelievable things have happened in the past year, Avery still finds it hard to accept.

Moreover, once he accepted these things, Avery had to face a question he had never thought about before... "Then will you go back? Back to your world?" Avery clenched the empty water glass in his hand, asked in a low voice.

Witte did not immediately answer the question.He thoughtfully refilled Avery's glass of juice, tentatively holding Avery's cold hand on the table.

Werther's palm was so hot it almost set him on fire, and Avery felt his body stiffen, and he held his breath like a prisoner waiting for his sentence.

"Come with me, go to my world." Werther asked in a low voice, his smoky eyes were full of Avery.

Avery was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at Werther.

They stared at each other, and neither of them spoke for a while.Avery raised his hand to caress Werther's face that was getting thinner because of looking for him, and collected himself.

"Okay." Avery said with a smile, a warm current rushed into his heart, making his eyes suddenly red.

Werther laughed, completely without the calm look that the 'Dark Sentinel' should have. The corners of his mouth opened to both sides, showing a bit of stupidity.

Avery leaned in close to Werther, breaths tangling.The scent in the air is getting stronger, it is the ambiguous smell of opal stone and lily of the valley.

Avery felt himself out of breath, and he clutched Werther's silk shirt like a drowning man clinging to the only driftwood.They were closer to each other than ever before, and the flames burned in the deep sea, spreading out little by little until they reached the border.

The connection is deepening, and the world is rapidly collapsing and rebuilding.

Eli is an adult.

***

Alai was sitting in the box next door, and only now took the time to look at this small shop carefully.

The view from this room is obviously not as good as that from the previous one, but you can still see the fish swimming outside.Probably because there is no sunlight on the bottom of the sea, many plants here have evolved biological characteristics of luminescence.

Ned looked at the menu with great interest, and the unknown food became even more inexplicable after being translated by the system. Ordering under such circumstances was a bit of a gamble.

However, Ned's luck has always been very good, and random things are unexpectedly delicious.

Xiaolong flew out of Ned's pocket, leaned on the glass window and stared motionlessly at the school of fish swimming past the window, his round eyes had turned into vertical pupils, and there was still a transparent liquid that seemed to be saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Alai had no choice but to stand up and grab Xiaolong back and wipe his mouth. "You can't eat, so what's the use of drooling?" Alai said while tapping Xiaolong's small forehead.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." Xiaolong stretched out his two claws flatteringly, and hugged Alai's wrist.

At this moment, Ned and Xiaolong turned their heads to look in the direction of the other box at the same time.The superior five senses of the dragon people allow them to hear very subtle sounds from far away through the sea water and walls.

But now, the voice from the next door caught the attention of the two Dragon Clans at the same time.

Ned, who was gorging on the mermaid specialties, froze in place. He pretended to be calm and looked up at Alai who obviously hadn't heard anything, and just breathed a sigh of relief.

In a blink of an eye, he met the curious big eyes of 'Cheese'.

Ned stood up with red ears, hugged Cheese without saying a word, and reached out to cover the small ears of the little dragon cub hidden under the scales.

Alai looked at Ned in confusion.

It's a pity that the other party didn't mean to explain at all, but silently accelerated the speed of eating, which had a tendency to escape from reality.

***

More than an hour later, just as Alai got impatient with the wait and was about to get up to find Werther, Werther came to their box with Ellie in his arms.

They planned not to leave for the time being, but to meet Avery's parents in a few days.And hope that Alai will pick them up in a few days and go to the plane where Werther is.

"So, what you mean is that you will frequently travel between these two planes in the future, and hope to reach a long-term cooperation with our company, is that true?" Alai asked after hearing Werther's request.

"Yes, I plan to marry Ellie as a mermaid. From now on, my life will depend on going back and forth between the two sides." Werther said with a smile, his whole face can be described as radiant.

"Of course, if that's the case, I recommend you to directly order the company's annual pass business..." Alai also smiled back and accepted the order.

He was thinking desperately, almost laughing out loud.The money for turning into candy plus the cost of this teleportation, plus the money for the annual pass for 2 people...

send!fiscal!up!

The spring of Rhodes City has finally arrived, the mermaid prince ushered in a belated adulthood, the 'Dark Sentinel' embraced the mermaid back, Alai and Ned made a fortune and gained a stable source of customers...

HAPPY ENDING
