Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

Chapter 87 Alai and the Mage Tower

A Lai stood under the shower with his eyes closed, letting the hot water wash over him, washing away his exhaustion.

Today is really exhausting, he still has the unpleasant smell of the underground laboratory on his body, plus the snail powder he ate just now...

This is so sour, I can't believe it.

The sweet scent of apples bloomed in the bathroom, and Alai rubbed his hair, lost in thought with foam on his head.He is considering whether to report the matter of the 'brain crystal' to the fourth district.

To be honest, he didn't want to take care of this matter, there was no benefit in it, and it might cause big trouble.But in Shangyanshang, as a well-behaved magic merchant, it is really unreasonable to receive counterfeit coins without reporting them.

Moreover, every order of the company is recorded, and he has to accept tax audits at the end of each year.At that time, if the counterfeit/coin matter is found out, if the hat of concealment and non-reporting is buckled, it will be enough to drink a pot by yourself.

A Lai thought about it, sighed, and decided to follow a procedure.As for the real-name report, forget it. After taking a shower, I will write an anonymous report letter to the supervision department of the fourth district. In case it is found out by the end of the year, there will be an explanation.

The door of the bathroom was opened, and the sweet aroma of apples poured into the bedroom wrapped in water vapor, which was dispelled by the newly purchased thermostat system.A Lai came out wearing loose cotton pajamas with wet hair.

The boy's eyes were half closed, his fair cheeks were flushed by the heat, and the sweet fruity scent in the air made him look more like a ripe red apple.

Enduring sleepiness, Alai leaned against the bed, tapping on the system screen.

I finished writing a simple anonymous report letter in a few words, explaining clearly about the 'monster', 'experiment', 'brain crystal', and things that would explode/explode when magic was activated.

By the time he finished writing the anonymous letter while yawning, it was nearly midnight. He glanced at the newly bought mechanical clock by the bedside. It was already late at night.

Ah Lai thought about it, it seemed impolite to send it late at night, so he simply asked 'Xiao Ye' to set it up and send it early tomorrow morning.After doing this, Alai rubbed his eyes, feeling that he was extremely sleepy, he drooped his eyelids, and lay down on the bed with wet hair.

I have to get the payment tomorrow afternoon, I hope it will go well this time, Alai thought in a daze, buried his face in the soft pillow, and finally fell asleep.

***

Early the next morning, the early winter sun slowly emerged from the east, and the sun warmed down on the courtyard, dispelling the morning fog, and the dew that condensed on the camellias slowly evaporated.

In the room, the black-haired boy curled up on the bed sideways, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and he was sleeping soundly.

He wears a pure black bracelet on his wrist. The simple style makes his wrist whiter, like the first snow that has not arrived yet.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Alai was still in a dream, and the system 'Xiao Ye' dutifully sent the report letter to the complaint platform of the Supervision Department of the Magic Association of the Four Districts according to the instructions of last night.

At this time, in the headquarters of the Magicians Association in the fourth district, it was the peak time of the morning work, and the crowds of people wearing dark magic robes walked out of the magic circle.

The headquarters of the Wizards Association is located on a small island in the Atlantic Ocean of the main star.The island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the surrounding sea area is covered with large magic defense arrays, which can only be reached by specific magic teleportation.

This was originally a defensive fortress built during the magic war/war period to prevent other races from sneaking in, and later converted into the headquarters office of the Magic Association.

Today, hundreds of years after the end of the war, the Association of Magicians still retains the original old address, and has no plans to relocate at all.

The entrances and exits of the teleportation array are all over the planets in the four districts. Some are in the offices and branches of the Magicians Association, and some are set up in more hidden locations. The staff in the association also commute to and from get off work through these teleportation arrays.

The mage towers stand on the small island with a precarious environment. Years of development have left no grass growing on the island. Only the various magic inscriptions constantly flashing outside the dark towers are the only scenery.

On this busy morning, there was a knock on the door of the office of the head of the supervision department in the No.

"Come in." The Minister of Supervision sat behind a large walnut desk, pushed his glasses, and said without raising his head.

The door was pushed open, and someone came into the office wearing a pair of lambskin high-heeled short boots, closed the door gently, leaned against the door frame and squinted his eyes to wait for the supervisor to finish his work.

The Minister of Supervision was busy for a while, and saw that the visitor had been silent, so he took the time to look up with a cold face, but immediately laughed when he saw the visitor: "Cecilia? It's rare to see you have time to come here." .”

The Minister of Supervision is a man with a somewhat serious temperament. He is meticulous in his work and rarely smiles. He is often secretly complained by his subordinates that he looks like a cold-blooded robot.

At this time, the robot was smiling brightly, stood up and greeted Cecilia enthusiastically, asked her to sit down, and hurriedly ordered the secretary outside the door to pour tea.

Cecilia also laughed, her dark green eyes were like fine green phantom gemstones, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, making her look charming and affectionate.

She crossed her legs, sat reclined on the chair opposite the office, looked around and joked: "My dear Samir, it's been so long since I haven't seen your office, it's still the same. You changed the outfit."

The office of the Minister of Supervision is located on the top floor of Building No. 5. Most of the interior decoration is left over from the war/war period. Samir has not made much changes since he took over. The old dark walnut furniture, dark red velvet carpet, There are also ubiquitous magic inscriptions, full of strong atmosphere of the old times.

"Don't make fun of me. I've been in this office for a long time, and I'm used to it." Supervision Minister, Samir took off his gold-rimmed glasses, rubbed his brows and smiled wryly.

He and Cecilia are old friends. Back then, the two studied in the same mage tower, the place where people eat people. If it weren't for her help, how could he have survived?Samir felt he owed Cecilia a lot.

Just at this moment, the secretary came in with tea, and Samir picked up the teacup and asked, "Seriously, why did you come to me? Could it be to discuss the decoration of my office with me?"

"Okay, I'm not joking with you, do you have time later? I'll invite you to dinner." Cecilia leaned on the back of the chair and invited, sure that Samir would not refuse. The youth's long silver hair was tied into a ponytail, The dark green magic robe is covered with exquisite ancient magic patterns, and the heels of the leather boots are touching the floor little by little, giving it a sense of elegance and ease.

Sure enough, Samir did not refuse. Although it was still early for lunch, under the stunned eyes of his subordinates, he left the office early and followed Cecilia to the only living area on the island, looking for a quiet place to eat.

"Your subordinates are so cute, they look at me like I'm some kind of monster." Cecilia teased Samir along the way.

Samir shook his head, but his expression was very serious, "They are too gossip, or too idle, just work overtime."

Cecilia snorted, and laughed brightly and flamboyantly, which attracted the attention of many magicians on the road.She is like a luminous body, with a halo everywhere she goes.

In order to meet the dietary needs of the employees of the headquarters, the island has a special living area, which includes canteens, cafes, specialty restaurants, etc. for employees...

The living area is also a tall tower, but unlike the mage tower that needs to be kept secret, the color is slightly softer, off-white, and the magic pattern on the tower is mainly for defense.

They went to the western restaurant they frequented and found a private room to sit down.It was still working hours, there was almost no one in the restaurant, and the constant temperature magic was spinning quietly above his head.

Cecilia ordered a latte, then ordered an iced Americano for Samir, and then handed the menu to Samir, asking him to order whatever he wanted, without being polite to her.

"It's hard for you to remember that I love iced Americano." Samir took the menu, glanced at Cecilia, and then ordered a few dishes. It was still some time before noon, but he was actually not hungry.

"Of course, I have something to ask you now, so I just treat it as a favor to you." Cecilia did not hide her motive for coming to Samir, and she was so straightforward that people could not feel disgusted.

Samir shook his head and laughed, and pushed his glasses again. This is his habitual action when thinking, "Since you are so honest, then I will directly ask, what is the purpose of you coming to me?"

The coffee was served first, and Cecilia took a sip of the latte before she said with a smile: "It's really not a big deal, but someone wants to report me. I want you to do me a favor and suppress this matter." .”

"Report you?" Samir raised his eyebrows, and his eyes under the lens suddenly sharpened, "Didn't you just have an accident a while ago, could it be that the 'smuggling' thing is not over yet?"

"No, no, you've wronged me." Cecilia waved her hands quickly, her fingers glistening with golden nail polish, "We all know what the so-called 'smuggling' is all about, and I just He was pushed out as a scapegoat." She said in a low voice, and smiled at Samir.

"I know you have been wronged about this matter." Samir relaxed his straight back and leaned on the back of the chair, "Since it's not about this matter, then why is it worth your trouble to find me?"

"Actually, it can't be all my fault. Do you still remember the original 1201 plan?" Cecilia picked up the coffee cup and raised the corners of her eyes, "Something went wrong in that plan."

Samir sat up straight and stared straight at Cecilia: "Is it the project that has been suspended? That...'artificial medium' project?"

"Yeah." Cecilia nodded.

The 'Artificial Medium' project, the full name of the 'Magic Medium Creature Man-made Project', is a secret project launched ten years ago by the headquarters of the Magicians Association in the four districts, under the Department of Protection of Magical Creatures.

The ultimate goal is to create an artificial 'magic medium'.

As we all know, apart from rare minerals such as gold and magic crystals, the 'magic medium' is the easiest to use and obtain, which is the biological tissue of 'magic creatures', blood, hair, scales, bones...these are the best for casting magic vehicle.

But over the years, with the rise of the technological plane in the three districts and the resistance of some magical creatures, the process of obtaining magical creatures as 'mediums' has become more and more difficult.

Therefore, the Department of Magical Creature Protection launched the 'artificial medium' project out of various considerations.

They selected a low-level planet located in the tenth district, carried out a series of experiments on it, and successfully fused the genes of humans and magical creatures to create an 'artificial magical creature'.

The 'blood' of man-made magical creatures and the 'crystal nucleus' in the brain can both be used as a 'magic medium', and the experiment has made a breakthrough in stages.

But soon, the magicians of the Department of Protection of Magical Creatures discovered that the use of this 'artificial medium' would cause great damage to the magicians, and the magic was easy to backfire and even explode.

After many efforts, there is no way to solve this problem, so the Ministry of Magical Creature Protection has no choice but to temporarily put this experiment aside, allowing those 'artificial magical creatures' to complete their own evolution, and send people to observe it from time to time and take experimental samples.

And the person who proposed this plan back then was none other than Cecilia, the former section chief of the Department of Magical Creature Protection-Affiliated Laboratory, and the current deputy head of the Department of Magic Procurement.
