Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Milady sat on the armchair in the living room, holding the teacup with both hands with a blank expression.

The aroma of black tea floated in the air, and the temperature was a bit low today. Alai put a blanket on the sofa for Mira, and then leaned on the sofa casually holding the little dragon cub, deliberately creating a kind of A relaxing and comfortable environment.

"I think you must have a lot of questions to ask right now." Alai said slowly, his voice even sounded a little lazy.

"What?" Mira asked subconsciously, she just lost her mind.

As an underage mermaid girl, after going through a series of emotional ups and downs such as tension, fear, and restraint, once the spirit is relaxed, it will be difficult to concentrate again.

Somehow, Mira could feel her nervousness and uneasiness disappear.

Maybe it's because the person in front of him is too harmless, whether it's his thin body or his lazy posture, he gives people a very safe feeling.

Satisfied with the state of the conversation, Alai repeated the question in a calm manner.

"Yes, I want to know where this place is? Why am I here? And...what happened?" Mira came back to her senses and asked, the more she asked, the more she felt that there were too many things she didn't know.

"Actually, I don't know much. I can only tell you the part of my experience." Alai put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a while, and then said.

Afterwards, Alai told Mira in detail how they found her, how and why they brought her home from the theater.

Of course, in order to avoid trouble, Alai did not tell Mira about Wei Xi, but only said that he was a businessman from another world, and that he went to the wrong place in the process of picking up the goods, so he rescued him by accident. her.

But Mira didn't fully believe Alai's words, or in other words, she couldn't believe Alai's words at all.

Different worlds, smuggling, crime... These things are too far away from her original life.

Even if she had personally experienced the high-tech bio-chamber in the third district and seen little dragon cubs flying around, she couldn't instantly change the world view she had established over the past ten years.

"I believe you have no malicious intentions, but what you just said...it's unbelievable, I, I can't..." Mira shook her head and said, the feeling of nervousness and anxiety returned.

This kind of emotional fluctuation was still expected by A Lai. After thinking about it, he simply changed the mode of conversation.Instead of asking for the trust and help of the other party, it is better to let the other party ask them for help.

"Relax, you don't need to force yourself to believe all of this. The important thing is that you are still alive, isn't it?" Alai said casually, looking very grateful.

The effect was remarkable, and this sentence really aroused Mira's vigilance.

"What do you mean? Are they...are they planning to kill me?" Mira asked hesitantly, her face paler.

She always thought that those who arrested her were just like the land people that the elders often talked about, and planned to lock her in a large glass water tank, and then let them visit for fun.

This was already the worst, worst outcome she could imagine.

"I think it's better that you don't know about these things." Ah Lai said, shaking his head, deliberately showing a hesitant expression.

"No, no... Please tell me, I need to know why they took so much effort to catch me?" Mira asked naively.

"Do you really want to know?" Alai confirmed again.

Mira clasped her hands and nodded firmly.

"Okay." Alai sighed, and said, "The people who kidnapped you are nothing to be trifled with. They hunted mermaids purely for fun, and even when the mermaids were still alive... Take off their flesh and eat it in front of them."

When Ah Lai came here, he paused for a moment, looked up at Mira who seemed to faint at any moment, and then continued: "Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that, you are really very lucky to be able to save your life. After all , it’s not the first time they’ve done this.”

"But, but... Is there no one to stop them? Yes, call the police! I can go back and call the police!" Mira said excitedly, patting the tail of the fish.

"Unfortunately, as I said just now, they come from another world, and they can also use magic. People in the world you live in can't catch them at all." Ah Lai said, shaking his head.

"Magic? What is that?" Mira asked with a frown.Where she lives, there is no concept of 'magic' at all.

"Well... magic is a very powerful force, and it can easily do things that cannot be done with common sense." Alai explained a few words, but only saw the more confused eyes of Mira sitting opposite.

Alai sighed silently, and simply turned his head to ask Ned to demonstrate.After all, nothing is more convincing than seeing it with your own eyes.

"No problem!" Ned, who was sitting on the side with a downcast face, suddenly became energetic after hearing Alai's words. He had been displeased with the mermaid opposite him for a long time.

Ned grinned and snapped his fingers lightly, and the tea in the teacup in Mira's hand disappeared.

Before she could be surprised, Ned snapped his fingers again.

What disappeared this time was the blanket that Alai had draped over Mira's shoulders.

"Wait, Ned..." Realizing that something was wrong, Alai wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Another snap of fingers.

The chair disappeared, and Mila, wearing a thin top, fell down on the wooden floor of the living room.She raised her head blankly and looked at Ned, as if she couldn't understand what happened.

"Look, this is 'magic'." Ned tilted his head and said to Mira, with a sharp indifference in his tone.

Mira felt a chill run up her spine, and fear hit her the next moment.

The girl began to tremble all over, and she realized that what the tall young man in front of her really wanted to 'eliminate' was not tea, blankets, or chairs... but her.

Alai stood up quickly, trying to step forward to help Mira up on the ground.Because of Alai's movement of standing up, the little dragon cub that was lying in his arms rolled out with a gurgling sound, and fell onto the sofa with a thud, making a series of "guji guji" sounds.

Alai had no choice but to turn around and comfort the little dragon cub, then bent down to help Mira onto the sofa.

But he overestimated his own strength, under the force, not only failed to lift the mermaid on the ground, but almost broke his own waist.

Alai took a deep breath and turned his head to ask Ned for help.

At this time, Mira finally came back to her senses completely, and retreated back without even thinking about it, until she retreated irrevocably to the corner of the living room.The fish tail slapped on the wooden floor, leaving fine scratches.

Alai maintained a stooped posture, watching Mira hide in the corner with a speed of avoiding it, almost collapsed.He spent so much effort just now, and finally made a little progress, but now, the progress bar has returned to zero.

Alai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, constantly reminding himself not to be angry, not to be angry, and finally controlled his desire to blow Ned's faucet off, and turned his head to give Ned a look.

"I just listened to you and just wanted to show her 'magic'." Ned looked at Alai with an innocent expression, adding fuel to the fire without any regrets.

Ha ha.

If you don't erupt in silence, you die in silence... Alai chose to erupt.

Alai's teacup on the table trembled slightly, the magic was activated, and a familiar door appeared at Ned's feet.

The 'door' opened, Ned fell, and was spit out again after a while.

Without blinking, Alai opened another 'door' and threw Ned in again.

Then the third time, the fourth time...

"Ah Lai, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" Ned shouted while being spit out by the 'door'.

Alai turned a deaf ear to this, but walked to Mira's side and sat down cross-legged.

"I'm sorry for causing you to suffer this kind of thing." Alai said to Mira in a calm tone, with a bit of a broken jar.

The gentleness and worry that were deliberately disguised on his face disappeared. Since Ned has messed up the matter, why not let him talk about it, as for whether the other party is worthy or not?That is beyond his control!A Lai thought rather angrily.

Mira huddled in the corner, seeing the young man who terrified her being repeatedly thrown to the floor by some magical force, she suddenly calmed down.

At the very least, the young man in front of him didn't intend to hurt her, and... that frightening young man seemed to listen to this young man very much.

"I'm fine." Mira swallowed and said carefully.

"To be honest, I'm just meddling in my own business. I'll send you back later. Just treat it as a nightmare. Go home and get some sleep, and you'll be fine." Alai sat down On the floor, looking into Mila's eyes, he said lightly, even with a careless attitude.

He has already given up on the idea of ​​asking Mira to help, and at worst, he will secretly install a small tracker on Mira. Since the group of people have already auctioned off the mermaid in front of them, they will try their best to get the mermaid again out of credibility issues. She took it.

Thinking of this, Alai warned Mira: "This group of people is vicious and unscrupulous. After you go back... it's better to be careful." After speaking, he stood up and patted the dust on his body.

"You mean... are those people likely to come to me again?" Mira asked in surprise.

"Of course, you are their precious 'commodity'." Alai replied disapprovingly.

"But, but... I have already been rescued, haven't I? Maybe they will give up." Mira said eagerly.

"Maybe, but even if they don't catch you, they will probably catch other mermaids..." Alai gave Mira a cold look, and then said slowly.

"...other mermaids, others." Mira murmured thoughtfully.

That's right, if those bad guys went to catch other mermaids, they wouldn't come looking for her again, and she would be safe... Mira thought silently, and she folded her arms around her chest as if afraid of the cold, and wrapped herself around herself.

Alai's eyes lingered on Mira's immature and pale face for a while, seeing through her thoughts at this time.

But Alai didn't blame her, because this is how the weak survive, and they always hope that they are not the weakest one.

Sometimes, as long as you close your eyes and don't look, the tragedy does not exist and life can go on.

But occasionally, just occasionally, even A Lai, who considers himself a "black-hearted businessman", would look forward to seeing the so-called shining points of human nature.

She's still a minor, and she should have more choices, a chance to do silly things.Alai thought so, and walked back to Mira's side again.

"Do you want to catch those bad guys? I can help you." Kneeling on one knee, Alai asked solemnly, his black eyes like a bottomless deep pool.

The author has something to say:

Ned: I'm jealous!

Alai: Hehe.

Mira: Can you let me go, I'm still a baby...

Ned is still falling on the ground, see you tomorrow~
