Lizard Keeping Diary

"Moen, it's really a mermaid!"

Li Te stretched his neck and yelled at the scene below.

The merman was lying on his back on a stretcher of a two-wheeled cart, his body was blue and red, his hands were tied behind him, and his whole body was trembling slightly.The most important thing is that his mouth was tightly glued, and he couldn't make any sound.

You must know that this kind of creature usually lurks in the deep sea. Once it appears, it indicates that disaster is imminent, and it is a nightmare for sailors.

Few of the Yiren present had ever seen a mermaid, let alone watched it at such a close distance, and everyone was amazed.

Look at the ears, they said, humans don't have fins like that, and look at the tail, it's all scales.

"I really can't believe it. I thought the first few orphans were already amazing, but I didn't expect there to be such an amazing one. I think the price of this lot is skyrocketing." Li Te said excitedly, turning his head, "Hey , Hey! Are you listening? Schatz!"

Shatz came back to his senses, "Ah... yes." Hiding the fluctuations in his voice.

The auction has started below.The reserve price is 100000 gold coins, but where have all the nobles come into contact with such rare goods, they are bidding one after another, and they are vying for each other, which is quite crazy.But in the blink of an eye, the price has increased dozens of times, and it has become a figure that ordinary people can't imagine.

The last baroness named Defina Hurley photographed the mermaid.She looked quite excited, chanting "what a beautiful baby, my sweet little fish" while trying to hug her one-of-a-kind prize.

Security guards sternly warned the Baroness, successfully preventing her from taking the stage.

Perhaps because of hearing her voice-over, the mermaid suddenly struggled violently.

But his defiance didn't last long, and came to a tragic end.

A strange hissing sound filled the air, and sparks jumped to the mermaid.The mermaid began to tremble in an instant, and the trembling became stronger and stronger, like a sieve, as if his punishment had not stopped for a long time, and later even rolled his eyes.

The baroness screamed and told the security on the stage to stop and not damage her property, which brought them to a panicky halt.

Shatz couldn't stand it anymore, got up and rushed out of the box, went into the bathroom and slapped his face with cold water, trying to calm himself down a bit.

No, don't do that, don't follow your heart.

Schatz closed his eyes and fell halfway on the sink, with his forehead against the mirror.

The lizard was right next to him, watching him trembling slightly, his right hand resting on the mirror, clenched weakly into a fist.

Boom!He suddenly checked the mirror, and for no reason, it startled the lizard.It tugged at the hem of his clothes nervously, wondering what was wrong with him, but he still buried his head in the mirror.

Schatz knew that his current performance was a bit crazy, but his heart was actually more anxious.

He wanted to scream like that baroness, but the urge to explode was suppressed by the remaining rationality.

Anatis!That's Anatis!Among all those present, he was undoubtedly the only one who knew the identity of the mermaid.

And the mermaid was about to be taken away.He couldn't imagine what would happen if Anatis fell into the hands of the Wingman buyer.

She paid such a high price, it is impossible to let Anatis back into the sea, impossible.

"Don't be stupid..." Schatz snapped, spreading his fingers to cover his face.

But no matter how hard he tried to convince himself, he knew he would.

Anatis should not fall into the hands of land people, the ocean is the home of mermaids.

He can't...he can't...

……

It was strange to say that although he was human, he felt that Anatis was like his brother.It doesn't make sense at all.However, he couldn't deny that the singing that night connected them together, whether it was good or bad, like two pieces of a mosaic puzzle, even if they couldn't actually fit together, they would be happy to find each other's figure, confirming that there is nothing in this world. I am not alone, there are many such pieces that will one day form the whole puzzle.

"You know you might regret it. Most likely... no, you will," Schatz said to himself, almost hearing the empty room echo back to him, "but it was the right thing to do. "

The word infused him with confidence and helped him bounce back.

"That's right, that's right."

When Shatz raised his head, his whole person was different from before.Lizards don't even know their masters.It has vaguely seen his expression, eager to try and take risks, but what is different from the past is that he is more determined now, and he has an idea, knowing what he needs to do to achieve his goal.

"You find a place to hide first, little guy."

hide?no problem.

The lizard slid down to the ground and crawled towards the broom in the corner. There happened to be a spider spinning a web there, and when it saw it coming, it threatened it.

Go away, this corner belongs to it!The golden eyes glared, exuding a mighty coercion, which instantly made the spider jump up and run away.

The rest of the bullies exhaled, burned the unsightly broken net, turned around and lay down, watching the situation quietly.

A staff member came in humming.

He stretched out his hands behind his back and pushed hard.

"Hey, what the fuck are you—"

The staff member was suddenly pushed, leaning his back against the wall, looking at the perpetrator in shock and anger.

But after seeing the red-haired young man in front of him clearly, the staff abruptly swallowed back the curse words.

He is laughing.

A person with a smile on his face is already not easy to scold, let alone a sweet smile.

If that wasn't enough, his looks were enough to make him forgiven.

He is very delicate and beautiful, and his long hair is like the long hair on a cat, which arouses the desire to be petted by others.

Of course the staff wouldn't actually touch his hair, but the annoyance had subsided somewhat.

Instead, a kind of curiosity, the staff wanted to know what the red-haired young man in front of him was looking for.

As if he had understood his thoughts, the red-haired young man leaned forward slowly, half of his body almost pressing on him.

"It's a nice open place,

good hunk,

Why don't you do me a favor..."

It's mean, Schatz admits, but his motives are good nonetheless.

After intoxicating the staff with magic music, Schatz confided a simple order.

He asked the staff to find the underground distribution box and secretly turn off the switch at the end of the auction, so that the entire enclosed place lost light and became pitch black, and then forgot the memory of this period of time.

Very simple.

The staff obliviously agreed, turned around and walked out, swaying left and right like zombies.Schatz was a little worried that his demeanor would arouse suspicion, but Schatz didn't have much experience in this area, and it was not a good experience, so he could only do this to this extent, sacrificing some sense of naturalness.

Schatz came back to the mirror, tidied his clothes, and calmly left the empty bathroom with the lizard crawling out of the corner.

The auction has ended.The auctioneer on the stage was thanking all the guests and customers, but the baroness disappeared.

At this time, the mermaid should be behind, waiting for the baroness to pick it up.In fact, you can go home first and let the organizer send it over.But the baroness doesn't look like a patient person, at least with the mermaid.

I hope I can make it in time.Schatz sighed.He couldn't think of any other way to save others without killing himself.

"Master Magic Musician."

The voice from the side startled Schatz.He turned his head to look, and it was Jielin and Sarov who came over.

That's right, Jielin should be here, but he fell asleep the whole time and almost forgot about it.

"I hope you have enjoyed your time here." Jielin looked at him with a smile, "The lot just now was really unexpected, wasn't it?"

Auction.That's right.They all only regarded the mermaid as a lot, like a live fish in the market, not a living person.

Schatz tried to stay calm. "Yes, Your Highness, today was an eye-opener. Munro has nothing like that."

Schatz was quite uncomfortable when he said this, because Sarov kept staring at him, making him feel dirty on his face.

At this moment, Li Te came out of the box, and was also surprised to see Jielin, so he hurriedly saluted and extended his greetings.

Jielin began to greet another magician, causing Schatz to turn his attention to Sarov.

"meet again……"

"How have you been these two days?" Sarov asked abruptly, "Is your body feeling better?"

Shatz was stunned for a moment, and replied shyly, "It's okay, I'm taking the things you gave me too..."

"That's good." Sarov touched the top of his head naturally, ignoring the lizard's stare, "You look good."

Not bad...?

Obviously thick dark circles.

Schatz glanced around awkwardly.

Li Te didn't know what joke he said just now, which made Her Royal Highness laugh.

"Oh, magic musician, I'm not what you said." Jielin covered her mouth and stopped laughing, then turned to Shatz and Sarov, "By the way, I just thought of an idea. I hope you won't object too much. She said to Schatz, adding to his anxiety, "How about coming to my house for dinner tomorrow? My chef happens to be making cod tongue, and the taste is absolutely unique!"

Although her tone was sincere, Shatz's first reaction was resistance, "But tomorrow I..."

"Do you have something to do tomorrow?" Jielin seemed to have guessed, "The day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow?" Li Te next to him cast envious eyes, but Shatz just wanted to get into the hole, "But the day after tomorrow..."

"Then the day after tomorrow." Jielin announced, then paused, narrowing her eyes dangerously, "I'm sure you'll be fine the day after tomorrow."

Schatz smiled weakly, "It's all right."

If he could choose, he would like to avoid dealing with the royal family, especially the future Winged Empress.

But in the current situation, he can no longer refuse, unless he is interested in angering Jielin.

"That's really great." Jielin put on her smile again, took the initiative to lift Shatz's hand, then took Sarov's hand, and folded their two hands together, "You will be able to communicate well. By then I'm still in class at the time, so I won't disturb you."

Schatz looked puzzled.

But before he could figure out what Jielin meant, the world suddenly went dark.

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion, and the machine let out a short scream.

"What happened?!" Someone shouted this sentence.

"There's a power outage!" another person yelled, "Let's get out first!"

Shatz groped to the side, grabbed Li Te's arm and ran away.Li Te started to run after him in a daze.The two rushed to the gate, Xiaci was out of breath, but let Li Te lead.They showed their certificates to the guards outside and went to the driver who had been waiting for a long time after passing.By this time it was already dark.

"Help……"

Shatz had been keeping vigilant all the time, so the moment he heard the voice, he turned his head and looked around.

This voice appeared in my mind.It took Schatz a moment to wake up.He tried to respond, 'Where are you? 』Not much expectation, after all, spiritual communication is magic, he can understand that mermaids are both magic and music, but he probably can't do it.

Surprisingly, the voice sounded again.

"I'm on the right...the place...there's no light..."

Schatz looked to the right, but saw nothing, just a black mass, like a blind corner of a building.

But instinct told him there was something there.So he told Li Te to go first, and he wanted to take a walk outside.

Li Te expressed surprise at his thoughts, but he didn't insist that he go back with him, only telling him not to make it too late.

"There are a lot of bad people outside now." Li Te warned, "Don't walk alone on the path, don't go to a messy place."

Shatz agreed with twitching corners of his mouth, watching Li Te get into the carriage and go further and further away.

Afterwards, Schatz looked around and rushed to the shadowy place on the right.

"here……"

Following the guidance of the voice, Shatz walked forward.But the place where his eyes could see became darker and darker, and he became more and more confused as he walked, until he suddenly bumped into a stone under his feet.Is it really a stone?He squatted down, reached out to touch the air, and accidentally touched the smooth scales.

"Anantis?"

The scales trembled.

Schatz touched up and felt the texture of the skin, and then up, it was chest... clavicle... neck... face.

Schatz cupped that face in both hands, and opened his mouth to the air, "Is that you, Anantis? Why can't I see you?"

"It's me...Red Pearl..." The voice in my head was weaker than before, "They... kept shocking me with tools, preventing me from resisting... Then the tools suddenly stopped working... I broke free... Cast invisibility...but they have given me an anesthesia injection...I can't move half of my body now...I don't know how long I can last...』

It turned out to be invisible.Shatz stared at the air in front of him for a while, and could faintly hear his shallow breathing.It gave him a sense of reality and made him feel at ease.

"How long will your invisibility last?" 』

"I don't know...probably...for a while..." Anantis communicated intermittently, "I need water...please...help me...don't leave me here...they will come for me... They'll find me...and take me back...』

Schatz reassured the mermaid, "Don't worry, I will help you. 』

Having said that, Shatz felt troubled in his heart.

Here is inland, too far from the ocean, how to rescue the fish immediately?

If you want to talk about lakes and ponds, firstly, you don't know the location, and secondly, they are easy to be found by Yi people, so it is definitely not a suitable choice.

Rather...

Shatz regained his composure, groping for the mermaid's back and tail with his hands, and lifted the mermaid vigorously, hugging the whole mermaid horizontally.

"Red, red pearl? ! 』

"Don't panic. Schatz sent a message, "I will take you back to my residence first, remember to remain invisible." 』

Anatis hummed softly, curled up in Shatz's arms, and wrapped his cold arms around Shatz's neck.Xia Ci shivered from the cold, and his hands were a little weak.This was quickly noticed by Anatis.

"I... am I too heavy...? 』

"No. Schatz denied, "You're as light as a lute." 』

In order to prove that he is capable of carrying this heavy load, Schatz deliberately quickened his pace, feeling that the mermaid in his arms was gradually sinking, as if it was getting heavier and heavier.Tomorrow his arm will definitely be useless.Shatz realized this, but still didn't dare to let go.

He wanted to take the mermaid home, soak it in the bathtub temporarily, and wait until dawn before thinking about how to send it back to the ocean.
