Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Mira was stunned, she raised her head to look at Alai.

The boy in front of him looked serious and serious, not so much asking, but more like asking Mira to make a choice.Choose, whether she wants to go home now and live in fear and worry every day, or fight hard and be her own "hero".

Mira wanted to do the former at first, but now, she chooses the latter.

"If, I mean if, I want to catch those people who hurt me, what do I need to do?" Mira summoned up her courage and asked.

She doesn't want to see any mermaid have the same experience as her again. Instead of going home and suffering from mental torture every day, she should do her best to find those bad guys!

Her eyes carried the innocence and recklessness of a teenager, her hands and feet were cold but at the same time her blood was boiling. The panic and timidity of a few hours ago disappeared, and courage and determination occupied Mira's mind.

A Lai smiled with satisfaction, not the false smile just now, but a sincere smile.

Sometimes the innocence of young people is indeed a kind of stupidity.But most of the good things in the world are made of this 'stupidity'.

It's silly and naive, but touching enough.

Besides...he really needed Mira's sincere help. Although he made a big detour, the result was exactly the same as the original plan, Alai thought with some evil intentions.

So they sat back in the living room again.

Mira sat comfortably on the newly moved chair, and her identity had changed from a mermaid girl who needed comfort a few hours ago to a partner who would take the initiative to ask for help.

Alai picked up the little dragon cub lying on the sofa, and sat back in his original position.He picked up the teacup used to cast the magic on the table and shook it lightly.

"Now, we need to discuss how to find that group of people. But before that..." Alai said halfway to Mira, looked down at the cup in his hand, and drank the tea inside.

The magic is broken.

Ned fell out of the 'door' and fell heavily on the ground, groaning in pain. "Alai..." he called out weakly, it seemed that he was severely tortured by Alai's magic.

But Alai knew clearly that this level of dizziness and beating would not cause any harm to an adult dragon, and Ned was just pretending to be pitiful.

"Shh."

"I haven't forgiven you yet..." Alai said softly while holding a teacup.

Ned maintained the posture of falling to the ground, obediently shut up and did not speak.

"Get up, we have business to deal with now. As for the things you did just now, we will have a good, good, chat, chat in private later." Alai said with a smirk, motioning Ned to sit back on the sofa.

Mira watched from the side without saying a word.

She is very clear that although the young man in front of her looks harmless to humans and animals, she is actually very dangerous. If she still wants to cooperate with Alai, she can no longer hold on to what happened just now.

"Sorry, let's get to the point. How much do you remember before you were locked in the biological cabin?" Alai arranged for Ned's affairs, then turned to Mira and asked directly.

"Bio-chamber?" Mira repeated, another word she had never heard before.

"It's the box you were lying on just now. We call it the biological cabin. It was originally used to treat sick creatures, but now it has become a special 'goods' box for biological smugglers." A Lai said sarcastically. explained.

"Well... Actually, I don't have the impression of being imprisoned in that, uh, biological cabin. My last memory is when I walked into the theater's negative floor, I seemed to smell a very strange fragrance, and then woke up... ...I just saw you." Mira said while thinking.

"Did you get dizzy?" A Lai held his chin with one hand and guessed in a low voice.

"Then why did you go to the theater at that time? It doesn't look like a place for walking." Alai squinted his eyes and asked.

Ned looked left and then again, seeing that Alai was concentrating on talking to Mira, he simply made black tea again.This time, he honestly poured Mira a glass.

"Thanks, thank you..." Mira thanked Ned who handed her tea, and picked up the teacup. "I was called by a friend." She hesitated for a while before answering.

"Friend? What kind of friend?" Alai asked Mira and glanced sideways at Ned. He saw that Ned was sitting on the sofa like a child and tilted his head at him.

A Lai sighed compromisingly, raised his eyebrows and raised his teacup, signaling to let him go for now.

"It's a friend I met at work. He has always taken care of me." Mira said while lowering her head while clutching the teacup in her hand.

"Can you tell me more about your friend?" Alai asked with interest after taking a sip of tea.

"Are you... Doubting that he might have done this thing? He definitely didn't do this thing. I mean, he's also a mermaid, so he wouldn't do such a thing." Mira said emotionally .

"Of course, of course. But we need to understand all the possibilities, don't we? Maybe your friend is threatened by them, or is he also in danger like you?" Alai asked persuasively.

"It's not impossible..." Mira bit her lip, thought for a while, and then told Alai about her friend.

In Mira's whispered narration, Alai gradually understood.

It turned out that although Mira was still young, she was already a well-known singer in Poseidon Kingdom.And the friend she was talking about was a mermaid boy named Borg, who was a singer like Mira, only slightly older than Mira.

They met during a performance cooperation. Borg has always taken care of Mira and has a very gentle personality.That day, Borg said that he had no inspiration for composing recently, so he asked Mira to go to the old theater to find inspiration.

But who knows, Mira passed out after arriving at the theater...

"You will know the rest." Mira exhaled slowly, and said to Ah Lai.

"So, did he tell you personally when he asked you to go to the theater? Or did he use phone calls or letters?" Alai asked carefully, trying to dig out more information.

"I said it personally. At that time, we had just finished a performance together. I saw him looking absent-minded in the background, so I went up to say a few words of concern. He said that he was writing a piece with opera elements recently, and asked me Would you like to accompany him to the 'Lorelei' theater to find inspiration." Mira said with downcast eyes.

"Then, from the looks of it, this young man named Borg and the 'Lorelei' Theater are all our clues." Alai said thoughtfully, holding his chin to sort out the current clues. .

The theater can install a monitoring system. According to the previous contact, this group of people is obviously from the fourth district. They are not very prepared for the technology of the third district, so it should not be a big problem.

You can also ask Ai Li to help find out who the current owner of the theater is. Although it is abandoned, since it is a stronghold, there should always be some traces left.

As for the boy named 'Borg' that Mira mentioned, it sounds very suspicious no matter what, and you have to get in touch with him to find out the details.

Thinking about this clearly, Alai raised his head and asked Mira if he could bring them to meet Borg.

"I can call him and make an appointment with him. But... can I make a phone call here?" Mira wondered. Didn't it mean that this is 'another world'?Could it be possible to make phone calls in another world?

"No, no, of course we can't get through here. But we can go back to Poseidon. However, it's better not to call first, so as not to startle the snake... In case your friend is really threatened, you will be exposed if you call Is it?" Ali explained.

"You mean, I can go back? Now?" Mira's focus was on being able to go home, automatically filtering out things about the phone.

"Of course, but you can't go home right away." Ah Lai said.

"I understand, I understand... It will be dangerous for me to go back now." Mira's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, when we catch those bad guys, you can go home and resume your normal life." Alai comforted, freeing his hand to touch the little dragon cub lying on his lap.

"Hmm." Mira's voice choked up.

"So the top priority is to find that group of people. We will quietly go back to your world later, and find a place to hide first. Then you take us to your friend Borg, and we first confirm his safety. Is this okay? "Alai asked.

Mira nodded vigorously, agreeing.

***

Time went back to a day ago, and new visitors came to the originally empty 'Lorelei' theater.

It is said that after Ned eliminated the two cloaked men without hesitation, the live broadcast room was suddenly closed.After the contact failed, the organization that kidnapped the mermaid had to send someone to check.

But because the flow of time in each plane is different, when they arrived at the plane of Poseidon using a large space magic circle, nearly an hour had passed.

And what they saw when they came to the scene was only the black wooden box shell that was divided into two halves in the ship on the basement floor.

The biological cabin, the mermaid, and the two companions who were supposed to host the transaction all disappeared without a trace.In the dark basement of the theater, there was only a pool of sewage and boats floating, and even the magic crystal ball used for the live broadcast was gone.

"Do you think it's possible that No. 11 and No. 12 betrayed the organization and took the mermaid away?" Someone asked in the darkness.

"It's not impossible, but I don't think so. It's more like they messed with someone they shouldn't have messed with, and they just disappeared. But the question is... who did it?" another person said, with a gloomy voice .

"Is it possible that it's the group of people from the third district?"

"Rare creature protection agency? No, our people have already investigated, and those people have not made any big moves. Besides, the relationship between the third district and the fourth district has been tense recently, and they dare not mess around."

"Then what should we do now?"

"Anyway, the 'goods' has been sold and we must recover it," replied the sullen voice. "Spy on people that the mermaid knows, her family and friends. In addition, find someone to keep an eye on our other competitors. I want to see who is so bold..."

"I understand. To be on the safe side, do we need to prepare new 'goods'?"

"...Let them prepare one first. This time, the client is a bit tricky, so there is no room for loss."

"Ok."
