Lizard Keeping Diary

After sunset, Schatz boarded the riverboat and found his cabin according to the ticket.

It was a small space, with only two empty beds and an even smaller bathroom next to it.

Schatz stuffed the suitcase under the bed with one hand, and put the piano case down against the wall before he had time to check on the lizard.The little guy hadn't woken up since he slept during the day, and Schatz couldn't bear to wake it up, just let it hug his thumb all the time, huddled up and rested there.

Always feel so small, so cute...

Schatz touched its back quietly, delighted with his decision to bring it.

But out of his worrying nature, he couldn't help worrying, and prayed that this little guy would grow a tail soon.

Maybe he can do something like prepare some nourishing meals like roaches.

Schatz thought, glancing casually out of the window.

The ship is off.

Schatz moved a step and sat near the window, admiring the rolling waves.

This ship can't take him to Popus, it's too far away, and only the seaport is open. To get there, you have to take Pegasus, or slower, take a carriage, but the price is only a lot more, and it's really not worth it.Schatz planned to disembark at Efka at noon tomorrow, and then buy a Pegasus ticket, and he would arrive in Popus on the third day.By then, he might still be able to catch up with the main force.

It was getting dark outside, and the water in the river turned dark blue.

Shatz pulled the curtains, turned on the half-bright lights, and went to the bathroom.

When he came out, there was another person in the cabin, wearing a black coat and a black hat, with his back to him and bowing his head to sort things out.

Schatz walked over to his bed.The man quickly raised his head, without any intention of saying hello, he stuffed his luggage under the bed very quickly, for fear of being seen.Schatz could understand other people's need for privacy, and looked away indifferently.

There were so many people on this boat, if Shatz hadn't come by chance, he wouldn't even be able to buy a ticket.The restaurant at the moment is overcrowded even if you think about it with your feet.Shatz was too lazy to go out, so he ate some pre-prepared dry food.During the period, he saw that the passenger in black stopped, and invited him to share food, but was rejected.

"I'm not hungry," said the man, and lay down with his clothes on.

Schatz shrugged, dropping the friendly intentions.

It might be the quietest cabin Schatz has ever experienced.He had never been in first class, so he couldn't imagine a quieter situation.The black-clothed passenger was silent and lay there for hours as if he had fallen asleep.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Xia Ci also felt tired, so he squinted his eyes and fell down.

As soon as he lay down, he suddenly felt that he was stuck by the pillow.

Consciousness slowly...sinks...

"what……"

The sound of human beings that seem close and far away is like seeing fog in a dream, blurred and indistinct.

Schatz turned over, muttered something randomly, and kept his eyes closed.

"Hmm...ha..."

The voice in the dream became more and more clear, so real that Schatz was forced to open his eyes.It does exactly that.It was only then that he realized that he had heard correctly, that someone was really fucking.And different from the dream, the cockroaches in reality are very blurred, as fine as the wind leaking from the gap between the teeth.Without much effort, Schatz identified the source of the voice.It could only be coming from the opposite side.

Schatz stood up with the quilt, suddenly realized something, looked at his hands, and then looked at the bed.I don't know when there were more lizards on the pillow, and I lay there unconscious.It may have slid off.That's good, at least I can sleep peacefully.

At this moment, the light was still on, Schatz stood up quietly, and tiptoed to the opposite bed.

Although the man in black had his eyes closed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face showed pain.

What is he going through?

Shatz scanned the other party with his eyes, and found that the black clothes were too tight, and there was no abnormality at all.

But just look at the man in black, his hands are covering his abdomen, his knuckles are turning white, and his brows are furrowed.

It can be seen that not only the nightmare factor, but also the physical discomfort does exist.

"Are you injured?" Schatz asked in a low voice, but the man in black didn't answer.

But that kind of pain cannot be mistaken. If this person is really injured, he should seek medical treatment from the ship's doctor immediately.The most important thing is that if the other party's situation is urgent, maybe he can help on the spot, because he still has some medicines and other such things in his luggage.

"Are you hurting somewhere?" Schatz asked again.

This time the man in black answered with overflowing cock, and his voice was more uncomfortable than before.

But soon, the man in black bit his lip, but the heavy panting still betrayed him.

Obviously injured.

Shatz felt a little uneasy.

What should I do...

Do you want to call the ship's doctor directly?At that time... No, he almost forgot about another possibility.

Although ordinary patients can be treated, if they are found to be fresh wounds caused by sharp weapons, or unexplainable suspicious injuries, they may be kicked off the ship, because such passengers cannot pass at will, even if they can obtain permission, It will also be isolated from other passengers.

This person may be in a special situation. He is afraid of being discovered, so he would rather endure the pain than ask for help. He only wants to get on the ship and get off the ship when he arrives.

But if this continues, will there really be no accidents?

Schatz stood there for a few minutes, thinking about it and forgetting about this person, but when he saw the red marks soaking through the black fabric, he was shocked and took a breath.This is really a big deal!

"I'm sorry, I want to see your injuries, can I?"

The man in black still closed his eyes and remained silent, so Shatz stretched out his hand.

Part of the clothes were lifted, but the scene inside was beyond Shatz's expectation.

There is no horrible wound as imagined, only a black tattoo across the lower abdomen, claws and claws, extending sharp edges in eight directions, it looks like an arrow, but there are eight chaotic arrows.The strangest thing is that the surface of this black tattoo has the color of blood flowing, as if there are living creatures parasitizing it.

Schatz thought he was hallucinating, because the room was extremely silent, but he heard devilish laughter, as if the monster in the tattoo was greeting...

"what are you doing?"

A hand grabbed Schatz's in the air.

Xia Ci froze for a moment, facing the frosty man in black above.

"You need help," Schatz said, "I can go to..."

The man in black interrupted directly, "If you go out to find someone, I will kill you."

what?

Shatz was stunned for a moment, and met the eyes of the man in black.

That look was very unkind, with a dizzying light.

With just this one glance, Schatz lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he had already appeared in the original position, which was his bed.He glanced back. The lizard was still sleeping.Turning around again, the man in black maintained the posture just now, but just put his clothes down.

Schatz didn't know exactly how the man in black did it, but there was no doubt that the man in black used magic just now.

Messing with a magician won't end well.Schatz sat down obediently, only peeking at the other side from the corner of his eye.

The trick just now seems to have taken a lot of energy, which made the situation of the man in black worse.He barely leaned on the bed, his face dripping with sweat.He clenched his teeth tightly, but still couldn't hold back, let out a whimper of pain.

Shatz continued to look at him, but seeing the pale fingertips move, a translucent film emerged around him.

Then, the film expanded outwards, wrapped around the four walls, and at the same time became thinner and more transparent, as if it could be broken if poked.

When he was in the capital, Schatz had contact with some magicians. When they talked, they liked to use such barriers to surround their surroundings. It was said that they could block the transmission of sound and ensure their privacy was protected.Regarding the current situation, Shatz could only understand that the man in black did not want the passengers in the next cabin to hear the movement.

But the most fundamental problem has not been solved.

Shatz sighed and stared at the man in black.

After a long while, Schatz confirmed that the other party's symptoms showed no sign of improvement, so he stretched out his arms sideways to fetch the piano box by the wall, took out his most precious possession from it, and told the man in black, "I am a magic musician. Don't worry, I just want to help you."

After Xiaci greeted him, he didn't see any objection from the other party, or he was too weak to stop.

Shatz tried to pluck the strings a few times, and when he got the bottom line in his heart, he began to play formally.

The whole performance was extremely quiet, and no one spoke.

At first, the man in black didn't respond, but as the melody progressed and switched to the new melody, the man in black slowly relaxed his facial muscles, and his body was no longer so tense.Shatz was playing the piano while observing the changes of the man in black.

Step by step, like a lion laying down his guard, the man in black closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When the barrier in the cabin dissipated, the sound of the piano stopped and disappeared into the air.

He is quite good at hypnosis and pain relief...

Schatz yawned, put the lute back, turned and lay down, his slender fingers covering the lizard's body.

The night receded quickly, and when Schatz woke up, the sun had already shone in through the gaps in the curtains.

The bed opposite was empty.What happened last night was like a dream, only the stone on the table proved that there was a second person.Shatz found that there was still a note under the stone, and he pulled it out immediately, and saw that it said: Please accept these white snow crystals as a thank you gift, Mr. Magic Musician, I have arrived at the station, so goodbye.

Thank you?I remember that Bai Xuejing is a kind of energy stone, which is used to help magicians practice...

But his magic music comes from another power system, and there is no need to accumulate magic power.

Rather, the magic happens only when the music is played.

Therefore, this kind of thing is useless to him.

Shatz shook his head, felt the hair scattered in front of his eyes, so he reached out to brush it away, and then thought that he should go to wash up, so he got up and went to the bathroom.His red weed was troublesome, curly and long, and always a lot of work to manage.

Still, it's impossible to ask him to cut his hair.Impossible in this life!

Afterwards, Schatz came out wearing a towel, and saw the khaki figure on the table with sharp eyes.

Ah, the little guy finally woke up, considering that he was about to disembark at noon, this time is just--huh?What does it open its mouth for?Wait... wait a minute! !That's a rock!Stones are not for eating! ! !

Schatz rushed over in a hurry and pulled out the lizard from a pile of snow crystals.It behaved extremely excitedly, waving its little paws wildly, as if those snow-white stones were what it needed most.But what does a lizard know?Schatz couldn't believe it, he had swallowed a whole stone, and now his stomach was bulging outwards, but he still wanted more.

"You idiot!" Schatz shook the lizard, "Spit it out, spit it out!"

The lizard became dizzy after being shaken several times.

However, it kept its mouth shut, and refused to spit it out as Schatz expected.

God, such a big stone is in the stomach, maybe it will kill me!

Schatz was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Puff.

The lizard suddenly made a sound like this.

As if bubbling, it spit out some dark particles.

At the same time, the bulging abdomen began to gradually flatten.

The stone is gone.

Schatz froze for a moment, then stroked the lizard's belly in disbelief.it is true.The stone there is completely gone.

what on earth is it?Schatz looked at the particles and noticed that they were originally part of Snow White.

Like sesame seeds on white bread, those granules are unevenly scattered on the surface of each snow crystal on the table.

"Could it be that... you digested Snow White and spit out the impurities alone?"

Schatz was talking to himself, but the lizard nodded on the spot when he heard it.

Schatz couldn't help being even more surprised.

"That's really unusual."

Maybe this lizard is not that simple.Schatz thought, for human magicians, Snow White is an item that needs to be decomposed, and the magic power in it will be transported in the form of energy.

This may be the same for it, but its method is relatively stupid, which is to swallow it directly.

Ordinary animals, of course, cannot digest magical energy.But some animals can, such as some magical creatures with higher intelligence, such as... Warcraft.

When this thought flashed through Schatz's mind, he suddenly felt enlightened.It must be.There is no second explanation.

Although monsters are rare, it is not impossible to see them.There are many monsters that migrate with the seasons, and some appear in the city due to accidental events, causing harassment or harm to the people.And the one in front of him was probably still a cub.

If he remembered correctly, monsters are generally aggressive, and cannibals abound.

What if you raised a monster and it turned into a story about a farmer and a snake in the future?

Schatz stared at the lizard hesitantly for a while, and finally couldn't hold back, rubbing the oval head.

"Since I raised you, little guy, you are not allowed to eat me in the future."

The lizard raised its head and bit its pale white fingertips with a whimper.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
