Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

When Alai opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, and the clock beside the bed was slowly pointing to 12 o'clock, but the alarm clock didn't ring, because he woke up from hunger.

His stomach was rumbling, but Alai didn't want to move. He lay lazily on his back on the bed and listened intently. There was a rare silence downstairs.

No new orders, no Ned trying to blow up the kitchen, no dragon cubs waiting to be fed.He miraculously slept peacefully until noon.

The noon sun shines through the cracks in the curtains, drawing a thin golden line on the corner of the bed, and the lingering fragrance of jasmine and orange blossom remains on the pillow that was just changed yesterday.

Alai rolled on the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt into a silkworm baby, buried his head in the pillow, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes again contentedly.

Just sleep a little longer, then get up and eat, he thought drowsily.

When I opened my eyes again, the hands of the clock had already pointed to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.The thin golden line made of sunlight at the foot of the bed also silently moved to the door.

A Lai pushed himself out of the quilt with hands and feet, rubbed his eyes, and stretched a lot.It feels like he hasn't slept so full for a long time, and he has slept for at least 15 hours.

Ever since Ned moved into his house, he had been noisy every day, and now he was not used to the sudden silence for so long.

A Lai shook his head and laughed, feeling that he was just asking for guilt. He wanted to be quiet when he was arguing, but after a while, he thought it was too quiet.

He threw off the quilt and got out of bed, and pulled open the curtains.

The afternoon sun poured into the room unscrupulously, making people lazy.The fruit trees in the yard are full of deep purple fruits, a vibrant autumn scene.

Alai can see through the glass window that Ned is sitting on a chair in the yard eating afternoon tea snacks, and 'Cheese' is lying next to Ned's hand, trying to reach his little head to taste the teacup he put on the table fruit tea.

Alai smiled, turned around and went to wash and change clothes.There were no orders today, and the weather was so good, it was rare for him to have the idea of ​​going out for a walk.

He changed his clothes and went downstairs. With messy hair on his head, he greeted Ned in the yard, "Ned, the weather is so nice, do you want to go for a walk?"

Ned was teasing 'Cheese' with one hand on the back of the chair and a teacup in the other. Hearing this, he glanced at the yawning Alai in a cotton shirt, his eyes lit up.

"Okay, where are you going? I've been flying in the original form for a long time, and recently I always feel the scales at the base of the wings itching." Ned said enthusiastically, and the invisible tail behind him began to flick.

Originally, he only planned to take Ned to the Sixth District for a walk, and Alai, who bought some fruit by the way, choked up.

He originally wanted to explain his plan to Ned, but after thinking about it, he felt that Ned's request was not too much. It was indeed enough for a dragon to always maintain a human form, and there was not enough room for him to have fun at home. Uncomfortable.

A Lai, who is especially talkative when he is full of sleep, decided to fulfill Ned's little wish and find a plane where Ned can fly freely and he can also have a good rest, and the two of them can relax completely.

"I thought of a good place, which is very suitable for us to go and relax." After thinking for a while, Alai said to Ned with a smile.

***

An hour later, Alai lay on a beach chair, wearing a colorful short-sleeved T-shirt, and took a sip of iced freshly squeezed watermelon juice.

On the coastline in the distance, one could vaguely see the dragon-shaped Ned flapping his wings and rushing towards the clouds, and after a few turns, he plunged headlong into the sea again.

The waves hit the fine white sandy beach, making a splashing sound, foaming and slipping away in a hurry.The damp sea breeze gently brushed over Alai's skin, leaving a little bit of salt.

'Cheese' was running around on the beach not far away, humming and digging a sandpit that was as big as two of him, and now he was concentrating on burying the beautiful shells he had collected into the sandpit inside.

This is the plane of 'Ocean Paradise' in the fourth district. 80% of the entire area is covered by sea water, and the land is composed of islands of different sizes.Since its development, it has been a good place for all magic races to relax.

And the place where Alai is staying now is one of the islands in the 'Ocean Paradise'. It is now the busiest golden September of the magic association in the four districts. Not only are there few tourists in the 'Paradise', but there are also ultra-low prices for the off-season. discount.

The last time Alai came here, it was the team building organized by the company where he worked.It happened to be the peak season at that time, plus a bunch of leaders and unfamiliar colleagues, it was impossible to enjoy it at all.

"It's still as good as it is now." Alai muttered to himself, taking another sip of the juice in his hand.He put on his sunglasses, and put the empty glass back on the small wooden table at hand.

Ned in the distance swam to his heart's content and dived back to the shore from the bottom of the sea.He went ashore and shook his wings, shaking off the sea water covered with 'cheese'.By the way, he stepped on the bunker he had worked so hard to dig for a long time.

Just found a beautiful little conch from the beach, and was about to bury the 'cheese' in the sandpit. When he turned around, he saw that the treasures he had worked so hard to hide were trampled by the 'mother'. Weeping aggrievedly.

Only then did Ned lower his head and notice the small sand pit under his claws. He raised his feet in a daze, revealing the little shells that had been trampled to pieces.

"Hey... Guchi Guji..." 'Cheese' glanced at the shell, then at Ned, and then back at the shell, and ran towards Alai with his little wings flapping in tears.Although it wasn't long after it hatched from the egg, 'Cheese' has already learned the advanced skill of 'complaining' without a teacher.

Alai had already squinted his eyes under the sea breeze, and was about to sense the call of the God of Sleep, when the two little paws of 'Cheese' hugged his calf in the next second.

"Whoa, whoa..."

'Mom, mom stomped my glitter. 'A childish voice sounded in Alai's mind with a crying tone.

Alai was so disturbed by the noise that he lost all sleepiness. He took off his sunglasses, glanced at Ned, who had turned back into a human form and was full of guilt, and then looked down at the crying little dragon cub with big watery golden eyes blinking, He sighed helplessly.

Alai bent down and picked up 'Cheese', and stroked his back skillfully.

"Stop crying, let's let Ni... let your 'mother' help you find more bright crystals, okay?" Alai said in a gentle voice, raised his eyes and jokingly glanced at the guilty man who was rubbing his nose. Ned.

'Cheese' was soothed by a few words, he cutely stretched out his two little claws, hugged Alai's shoulders, and rubbed his little head around his neck.

"Boom." I like it.

"So cute..." Alai muttered, couldn't help but put his face on Xiaolongbing's cool wings, and took a deep breath.

"Alai..." Ned also called out pitifully from the side.They are all dragons, why should they be treated differently?He also wanted to be hugged and held high by Alai.

Alai ignored a certain big dragon who had grown up and acted like a little dragon cub, and put the "cheese" that had stopped crying back on the beach. "Go to your 'mother' obediently and let him pick up shells for you." He gently pushed Xiaolong.

So, on the golden beach reflected by the sun, the two dragons gathered together and picked up the shells wholeheartedly.

Ned was a little reluctant at first, but later, for some reason, he picked up more and more vigorously, and when he saw a beautiful shell, he would specially show it to Ah.

Maybe this is the legendary dragon's instinct to do one thing and love one thing.

"Alai, aren't you going into the water? I just met a tuna in the sea. It looks delicious." Ned stood up and clapped his hands after sprinkling the last handful of fine sand for their treasure bunker. , asked Alai.

In one sentence, it seems that he is concerned about his 'partner', but in fact, he is expressing his desire to eat fish because he is hungry.

"Hmm...you'll be tired if you don't go into the water." Lai spread out on the beach chair and muttered vaguely. I don't know if he really didn't understand or did it on purpose, but he didn't answer the question at all.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the setting sun sank into the bottom of the sea, covering the sea with a layer of warm glow.Alai's fair face looked like a long-lasting oil painting under the orange light, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow like two crow feathers.

Ned suddenly felt a movement in his heart, the tide was wrapped in waves, like a feather gently swaying over the tip of his heart, sour and limp.He stood there blankly, rubbing his chest and blinking ignorantly, feeling that he might be sick.

Alai lay on the chair, waiting for Ned to honestly cry out for hunger, but found that he hadn't heard a sound for a long time.He opened his eyes, and what he saw was Ned standing a few steps away from him, with an expression that was either sad or happy.

"Okay, okay, don't put on such an expression, I ordered a seafood dinner, and it should be delivered by now." He panicked for some reason, and said hastily.

As expected, Ned was attracted by the seafood feast. He shook his head to shake off those inexplicable emotions, picked up the little dragon cubs on the beach and sat in a row on the beach chair next to him, waiting for the food to arrive.

On the grill, the butter and the lobster meet, giving off a tempting milky aroma.Abalone and mussels danced on the charcoal fire, and the salty smell of seawater in the air was covered by the smell of spices.

A Lai took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, suddenly feeling a great appetite.

The hairy crab was slightly grilled, and Ned broke the crab claws with his bare hands, and the translucent crab meat melted in his mouth.The meat of the lobster is more chewy, sweet with a bit of buttery milk.

A Lai took a sip of cold beer, grilled two baked lobsters with cheese and fed them to Xiaolong. Cheese ate the prawns without blinking his eyes at the shredded cheese in A Lai's hand.

The sun slowly exits after fulfilling its duties for the day, and the moon takes over the night sky.The starlight sprinkled on the beach and fell into the ocean, adding a little brilliance to this lively scene.

The author has something to say:

I've been so busy recently, I don't have much time to rest, so let Alai and the others go on vacation instead of me.When you are tired, sleep well and eat something delicious.
