Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

The next morning, Alai was woken up by a little dragon cub's swoop.The curtains were drawn tightly, making it difficult to tell whether it was day or night, and Ned was no longer in the room.

There was still a lingering scent of vanilla and apples in the room, Alai slowly propped up his upper body, hugged the little dragon cub into his arms, leaning against the pillow at the head of the bed, half awake and dazed.

what time is it now?Where did Ned go?Is it time to change shifts yet?A Lai was thinking dizzily, but didn't bother to click on the system to check.

The drowsiness invaded the brain, tempting Alai to lie back on the comfortable and warm quilt, and Alai yawned involuntarily.

When Ned opened the door and came in, what he saw was Alai who was about to fall asleep again at any moment.

The teenager's slightly messy black hair was on the top of his head, and his cat eyes were full of tears. He leaned sleepily on the head of the bed, like a newborn kitten, making people want to hug him and touch his soft skin. Belly, or put it in your pocket and hide it.

"What time is it?" Alai asked vaguely in a low voice, trying hard to open his eyes and stay awake.

"What? Oh oh...it's still early" Ned who was standing at the door was slightly taken aback, and replied after he came to his senses. "Sleep a little longer, I'll call you when the time is up." He walked to the bed and coaxed Alai in a low voice.

Ned picked up the little dragon cub in Alai's arms with one hand, and stuffed the dazed Alai back into the quilt. After confirming that the boy on the bed had fallen asleep again, he quietly left the room with the little dragon cub. .

A Lai fell asleep again and had a dream.

He dreamed about the time when he met that person for the first time when he was a child.At that time, he was only 8 years old, he had just awakened his magical talent, he had no parents, and he didn't know who he was, wandering the streets of the fourth district.

There was a lot of snow that winter, he was cold and hungry, so he had to use magic to steal things for a living.Then got caught.He was sent to the magic tower and became that person's apprentice.

The man said, since he is here, let's call him 'Alai'.

The life in the magic tower is gray, time is slowed down very slowly, and it seems that he has grown up in just a blink of an eye.Adult magic apprentices can choose to leave or stay.Of course he wanted to leave, but he couldn't...

A Lai felt suffocated for a while in his dream, and the heavy snow on the street when he was 8 years old started again, as if it had never stopped.He walked alone in the ice and snow, a long journey that seemed to have no end in sight.

Then Alai woke up from the cold.

He quickly opened his eyes, and what greeted his eyes was the bed curtain made of sea gauze. It was already bright outside, and the curtains could not block the light coming in.The quilt was kicked under the bed by him, and the temperature control system in the room had been automatically turned off.

It was only then that Alai realized that he was dreaming. He put the quilt back on the bed, turned on the system and took a look. It was past 11 o'clock, and he slept until noon.

"Is it because of what happened recently..." Alai murmured to himself, covering his eyes with the back of his hand as if exhausted.He hasn't thought about the past for a long time, the past that should have been buried long ago, the unbearable past.

Alai lay down for a while, and finally got up.There are still a lot of things to do today, Ned and Avery should have been waiting for him a long time ago.

When Ah Lai went downstairs, everyone was gathering in the living room on the first floor.

Ned and the little dragon cub are playing a game, Ned throws the chocolate ball in his hand, the speed is so fast that only afterimages can be seen, the little dragon cub flies out with whoosh, before the chocolate ball hits the ground, he uses his two little claws Claw grabs.

Avery and Werther were snuggling up on the sofa, drinking black tea, talking in whispers, and chuckling from time to time.

Mira sat blankly on a chair in the restaurant not far away, resting her elbows on the dining table, resting her head on her hands, her eyes were empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Morning, everyone, no, good afternoon." Alai walked up the last flight of stairs and greeted everyone.

Seeing that Alai got up, the little dragon cub stopped playing with 'mother'. He hugged the chocolate ball and rushed towards Alai like a small cannonball, hovering in front of him.

"Guji Guji." Look, it's sweet and delicious!The little dragon cub hugged the chocolate with its two little paws, and circled around Alai, barking endlessly.

"Yeah, I know." Alai was a little dizzy from being turned by the little dragon cub, holding on to the handrail of the stairs, and smiled helplessly.

"Guji Guji." I'll eat it for you.

The little dragon cub seemed even happier when he received the response. He landed at Alai's feet and raised the chocolate ball in his hand.

"Thank you 'cheese'." Alai smiled and picked up the little dragon cub at his feet, and walked towards the restaurant, feeling that his depressed mood had improved a lot since he woke up.

"You came just in time. I was about to ask Ned to call you down for dinner." Ai Li sat on the sofa and said to Ah Lai who was holding the little dragon cub.

"Sorry, I got up late." Alai apologized a little. He originally came to Ai Li and the others for help, but he still slept so late and made everyone wait for him.

"It's okay, Ned said that you've been very busy recently and haven't had much rest." Avery said thoughtfully, pulled Witt to stand up, and moved to the restaurant together.

In the restaurant, sumptuous food is already on the table.

Ah took a look, most of them were fish, pan-fried salmon and lemon cod, a large pot of spicy crab was shining with oil, and a large plate of baked lobster with vanilla cream was placed next to it.

I didn't expect it... I don't know if it was made by Eli or Werther, but it looks quite delicious.Ah Lai was thinking about this when he heard Ai Li explaining beside him.

"I ordered takeaway. I was afraid that you might not be used to it. I tried to order cooked food." Avery said, pointing to the lobster on the table, which means that if it weren't for their presence, the lobster meat would still be raw. tasty.

"Thanks for the hospitality, it looks very delicious." Alai said with a smile.In my heart, I highly praise His Highness the Mermaid Prince, who is considerate enough to consider the fragile stomach of land humans.Pull away the chair and sit down.

The little dragon cub was placed on a specially raised chair by Alai. He is now a big baby and has learned to eat by himself.

Ned also sat next to Alai. He tilted his head and sat obliquely on the chair.He stared at Ah without blinking.

Alai immediately noticed Ned's gaze, and when he thought of what happened last night, his ears felt inexplicably hot. "Last night...Thank you." He looked down at the pan-fried salmon on the plate, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered to Ned.

"Were you in a bad mood just now?" Ned asked keenly, he could tell now that Alai's expression was 'painful' when he went downstairs just now.Not that kind of physical pain, but psychological.

Humans are fragile creatures, they need to get enough sleep, eat regularly, get hurt easily...besides that, they need to be cared and greeted from time to time.

It's a pity that Ned doesn't know enough about human beings. He still doesn't know that while human beings are fragile, they are also creatures that are best at hiding pain.

"I'm fine..." Alai said with a smile, and put a lobster on his plate as if nothing had happened.He took Ned's plate again, and naturally helped him fill a plate of spicy crabs slowly, "Eat more." Alai instructed.

"Hmm...Okay." Ned nodded, and Alai's attention was easily shifted to the food.

As everyone was seated, Mira came back to her senses.

She was sitting directly opposite Alai.Avery warmly greeted this unfortunate family member for dinner and added many dishes for her.

Mira thanked her somewhat flattered, but did not eat right away.

She hesitated for a while, and then said, "You...you went to see Borg yesterday, right? He, is he okay?" Mira asked Alai.

"He's fine." Alai replied casually.It's more than good, the boy named Borg is living too well, and he is probably playing with other mermaids at the moment.

"That's it...then, that's good." Mira was relieved at first, but felt a little lost for some reason.

Hearing this, Alai stopped cutting the salmon and looked up at Mira.Then he continued: "Speaking of which, when Ned went, he was talking to another person. It was a man whose voice should be older than Borg. Have you ever heard Borg mention such a person?"

"A man? I'm not sure...Borg's parents seem to have passed away a long time ago. He has always lived alone. Maybe he is his manager." Mira thought for a while and said uncertainly.

"Hmm... the manager? Have you met his manager? Are he and his manager lovers?" A Lai asked after taking a bite of the fish.

"——? What? Sorry, did I hear wrong just now?" Mira moved the chair uneasily and made a harsh sound.

"No, you heard that right. According to what you said, that man may be his manager. When Ned went, he was kissing Berg." Alai narrowed his eyes, observing Mira's expression, Said in one word.

"You must have made a mistake, it's impossible!" Mira stood up excitedly and shouted to Alai.The chair lost its balance and fell behind her, hitting the floor hard.

Ned stopped eating the moment Mira shouted to Alai.He lowered his brows and stared unkindly at Mira with a pair of beast-like vertical pupils.

Nobody can yell at a dragon mate unless she doesn't want to live.

Mira was terrified by Ned's eyes, the fishtail could no longer support the weight of her upper body, and fell to the ground with a plop.

Now everyone can't continue to eat.Except for Ned, the others hurried forward and worked together to help Mira up, allowing her to sit back on the chair.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was a little too excited." Mira calmed down, took a deep breath and said.

"It's okay, just drink some water." Alai waved his hand, poured a cup of warm water for Mira considerately, and then asked, "You said just now that I must have made a mistake, and you sounded very sure. Is there any basis for it?" ?”

"He, Borg, it's impossible for him to kiss a man." Mira clenched the cup tightly with both hands, her eyes wandered for a while, and finally fixed on her left wrist.

There was wearing an unassuming silver bracelet, with fine obsidian falling from it, just like Mira's black hair.

"Borg won't kiss anyone, because... the person he likes is me." Mira raised her head and looked at everyone.
