Lizard Keeping Diary

"What do you mean?" Schatz asked.

"There's someone downstairs," Kuru told Schatz. "They're all armed, they look like mercenaries, and they're looking for a kid. I guess it's you." The last words were addressed to the kid, " They're here for you. Who the hell are you?"

The child was still squatting in the corner, not saying a word, but trembling slightly.

Schatz stood there for a moment, then suddenly, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, bent down and snatched the roll of newspaper from his hand.

"It's mine!! Give it back!"

The kid jumped up, trying to snatch it back, but Schatz didn't give him a chance. He opened the newspaper and pulled out a disc, dirty and light.

Kuru restrained the child and pointed to the thing in Shatz's hand, "What is that? Seeing how nervous you are, did you steal it from mercenaries? That's why they are looking for you?"

"Nonsense!" The child blushed with excitement, "This is mine! It's been mine since I was born!"

As he said that, the child took advantage of Xia Ci's inattention, and snatched the metal back into his hand with a swish.

Kuru blinked in confusion, realizing that he didn't see how the metal was taken back.

"If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you!"

The child throws the disc.A silver trail cut through the air, and with a thud, the piece of metal hit the table.But instead of falling, it stuck to the table, as if it had its own glue, and then, in front of the other two people in the room, the table slowly rose into a floating state.

Schatz opened his mouth in disbelief.When the child points to the left, the table flies to the left.When the child points to the right, the table flies to the right.Schatz's jaw almost dropped.

"This... this is anti-gravity metal!"

Hearing his exclamation, Kuru raised his eyebrows, "Is that the one you mentioned, the one used by the Yiren?"

Before Schatz could answer, the child jumped up again, "What are you talking about?! Wingman's shit is not the same as our metal!"

The child waved angrily, and the disc flew back into his hand, and at the same time the table fell heavily to the floor.

"The Wingmen do have anti-gravity metals, yes, but they are inferior products. Our metals are the best among anti-gravity metals. They are light and gentle, and possess intelligence like life forms. They are called life metals. , only the recognized master can control it.”

Speaking of the metal of his own country, the child talked eloquently, with his back straight, obviously very proud.

Schatz and Kuru glanced at each other, confirming that they were hiding the same thoughts.Then Schatz coughed dryly, and deliberately said in a questioning tone, "Really, this kind of metal sounds very expensive. How could a dirty person like you have it? You must have stolen it."

The child puffed up his face angrily, "I'm not dirty! I just fell down on the road and fell into a mud puddle to get my clothes dirty. You know, people in the palace praised me as the child who loves cleanliness the most. !"

"The people in the palace?" Shatz held his face up, watching the child's expression gradually becoming annoyed with interest.

"It's over, it's over, it's a slip of the tongue..."

The child smacked his head hard.

Shatz stared at the round face, all the facial features were tangled together in distress, cute and innocent, Shatz felt his heart was melting, it was Kuru who continued the conversation.

"So who are you?" Kuru asked again, glaring at the child unkindly, "If you lied to me, I swear I'd—"

dong dong!dong dong!

The rest of the words were interrupted.The knock on the door was urgent and fierce, as if a violent storm was coming, and it was about to break through the closed space at any time.

Kuru closed his eyes for a moment.Schatz looked at him a little nervously until he opened his eyes and lowered his voice and said, "The mercenaries are here."

These words were like a wake-up call, instantly waking the child awake.

"No...no! Please, don't tell me you've seen me. I can hide behind the curtain and pretend I'm not here, and I won't cause trouble."

The child hugged Shatz's waist and rubbed his head a few times, pretending to be crying.Kuru was a little annoyed. The brat obviously liked Xia Ci's soft heart, so he picked him to attack.

But Schatz liked this very much. When the child asked for help, he gently stroked the child's hair and told the child that there was nothing to worry about.

"Gollum will help you." Schatz looked up. "Right, Gollum?"

"Don't look at me." Kuru spread his hands, "How can I help him? If you don't open the door for them, the door will be smashed through. Do you hear me? Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

Indeed.The knocking outside the door became more and more intense, accompanied by a high-pitched voice, conveyed to the people inside the door in a commanding tone, "Listen up inside! Open the door for me! Open the door!"

"We can hide him, Gollum." Of course, not behind the curtains, where he would be spotted right away.Shatz pondered for a moment, and decided to try his own magic.After leaving the small town, he has recently taken time to study this power.

Although he also asked Kuru about this aspect, Kuru was very puzzled by his power and could not help him, and he vaguely understood that his magic was different from others.He can't control anything, except the little black tentacle, but the little black tentacle has a lot of friends, so he can manipulate the little black tentacle to control other things.

As an example, Light is one of the friends of the little black tentacles.

Shatz began to communicate with the little black tentacle, instructing it to refract the light to the effect he wanted.It was a little trick he had practiced.

Every time he was summoned, the little black tentacles looked very excited, and this time was no exception.Schatz could see it dancing on his fingertips.Even when Schatz was doing his own thing, the little black tentacles would float around in the space of consciousness, calling him to come and play with him.

In short, Shatz communicated with the little black tentacles very easily.After he gave the instructions, the little black tentacles began to execute them.Light is cut from different angles, split into many colors and refracted in the naked eye.

Finally, when Kuru went to answer the door, there were only two people left in the room.

A group of mercenaries came in, and without greeting them, and with an air of authority, searched their rooms about, and asked them if they had seen a child, in dirty clothes, maybe with a hat or not, probably only half People are tall.

"No. I haven't seen it."

Both chose to play dumb.

"Really?" A mercenary looked disbelieving.He yanked out his dagger, pressed it against Schatz's throat, and threatened, "You'd better not be lying."

The blade touched Schatz's skin and almost pierced through, creating a corpse.

Kuru secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

But Shatz gave him a wink, and he still knew that he should suppress his anger.So Kuru took a few breaths and managed to calm down, "We are telling the truth, my lord."

Perhaps it was very useful to the honorific title, the mercenary laughed twice, and put the dagger back.With a wave of his hand, a group of people left the room.

The last to leave was a thin man in a black robe, with his hands in the opposite sleeves.He looked back at Shatz, as if he was quite concerned, but he didn't stay long before he was greeted by his companions and searched the next room.

It wasn't until they searched all the rooms and completely left the hotel after finding nothing that Schatz heaved a sigh of relief and let the child reappear.

"It was dangerous just now." Kuru said gloomily, the picture of Schatz being pressed against his neck was still in his mind.

If Schatz hadn't stopped him, the room would be full of corpses now.

Shatz misunderstood his meaning, "Yeah, I was almost spotted just now." Shatz pondered for a while, "There is a magician in their team, and he seems to be quite powerful. Although I haven't contacted him, But he took the initiative to magically probe me. For a second, I thought he'd find out what I'd done."

"Maybe he detected your energy, but didn't know what it was," Kuru continued. "Even I don't know. Your magic is a mystery."

Shatz narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Anyway, as long as it works, you mean, baby?"

The child pouted, "Who is the baby, my name is Jiage."

Schatz looked at Jiage, couldn't help stretching out his hands and kneading that little face, in exchange for screaming, "Don't touch me! Grave bastard! The laughing man arrested you!"

Schatz still had a good time, "Since we helped you, shouldn't you be honest? Huh? Where did you come from? Why did you find us? Don't say anything just to keep warm."

Jiage tried to push his hand away, trying to hide to the other side, but Kuru grabbed him.

Kuru had a straight face, and his tone was not as kind as Shatz.

"Don't make me do it to you."

Jiage shuddered, "Okay, I said, I said... But can you let me go first? This is very uncomfortable."

Kuru let him go.The child straightened his collar, looked left and right, and sat down on the bed.Apparently this was where he felt most comfortable.Kuru looked at the mud on his trousers, and suddenly understood Shatz's feeling when he saw him throw his clothes on the bed.

"You should have guessed it, I am from Bavania, the small country that produces life metal. I am the only prince of Bavania."

"Just a few days ago, my mother asked someone to take me out for a picnic, and many people followed me. Then we arrived at a mountain, and I thought we had arrived at our destination, but those mercenaries rushed out suddenly, and all the servants who accompanied me... Killed them all..."

Speaking of this, Jiage suddenly burst into tears.The other two had guessed the ending, but still waited for Jager to explain the whole thing.

"Originally, we all hid well, hoot, staying in a cave. But they had a magician who could find our location. The guards died at the hands of that magician in order to cover me. The mercenaries They all came after me, but they didn’t know that I was carrying a piece of life metal, so I was able to get away with it.”

Shatz poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Jiage.The kid took it, sobbing.

"And then?" Schatz asked, "how did you get here?"

Jiage wiped his face, "I just flew around and didn't dare to stop, for fear that they would catch up with me. I flew like this for a day and a night, and came to this city. It was still daytime, and I heard a burst of music, so I followed the The sound touched the square."

"Ah." Schatz's eyes widened.

"That's right, I heard your music at the time, and I still remember the lyrics: the wind, the dark clouds, they say he watches over us, the rain, the lightning..."

"They say he blesses us," Schatz went on, and then said, "Do you like this song?"

Jiage nodded vigorously, smiling through tears, "This song makes me feel very happy."

Schatz smiled, genuinely happy.There were quite a lot of audience watching his performance this afternoon, so he didn't notice the existence of this kid, but being appreciated by others is always a very fulfilling thing.

Kuru was not so patient, "You haven't explained how you found us, kid, don't tell me you heard his song and followed him here?"

"Uh...that's...that's actually it..." Jiage twitched, "I've been watching his performance. After it was over, I couldn't help but follow him to this hotel, watching him go upstairs and open the door. At first I didn't dare to come in. Later, it was too cold outside, so I knocked on the door to get warm..."

Now that the winter chill has not dissipated completely, and it is late at night, a child will certainly suffer from the cold outside.This is not something that can be overcome by wrapping in a few cotton jackets.

Shatz sat on the edge of the bed, and touched Jiage's hair distressedly.

"Then your parents must be very worried about you now."

It's also kind of weird when you think about it.What kind of parent would let a little one go on an outing alone?Not to mention dignified like a prince.Even with escorts, it's not justified.

Jiage put down his teacup and got into Shatz's arms, "Yeah, I miss my parents too. But I don't know which direction to go to go back."

"Don't worry, we can take you back." Shatz looked at Kuru, "Right?"

Kuru turned his head and stared at the wall hard, as if there were flowers growing on it.

"Gollum, don't pretend you didn't hear me."

Kuru still had his back to them.

Schatz sighed helplessly, "I know you have compassion too. Just give him a hand. It won't take up too much of your time." He softened his voice and said with a smile, "Please, my companion."

Kuru turned around when he heard the words, "Your partner? I remember you are single. There is no partner here."

Shatz was stunned for a moment, and his smile gradually froze.He hadn't expected this response at all.

That is the old calendar hundreds of years ago.At that time, he didn't know his feelings for Kuru, and he never imagined himself with anyone, until later, he began to realize the special nature of this feeling at the bottom of the sea.

Later, because his consciousness was swallowed up, he temporarily lost the ability to take care of himself. Kuru took care of him meticulously for so long, and he was filled with emotion. So when he recovered, he dedicated himself to Kuru without any hesitation. Because he has confirmed that they are in love with each other.

That being the case, why is Kuru choking him with this now?

Shatz suddenly became annoyed, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, then I'll take him back alone. Just go about your business. No one will hinder you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and stopped looking at Kuru.

"..."

This time it was Kuru who was stunned.

He just choked Shatz because he really didn't want to waste time with this kid.Even ghosts can tell that there is something hidden about what happened to this child.And secrets usually mean trouble.

What's more, although he didn't want to admit it, the child's clinging to Shatz made him uncomfortable, and he was not willing to lend a helping hand psychologically.

But now that Schatz was mad at him, what was to be done?

Kuru pulled his hair in annoyance, looked at the ground for a while, and looked at Shatz for a while.His partner had obviously made up his mind not to talk to him, and didn't even bother to give him a look.

"Oh." Finally Kuru gave up and sighed, "Honey, you don't know the way, so let me give you a ride."

As soon as this remark came out, Shatz's expression eased visibly, and Kuru also heaved a sigh of relief.

It's really not easy to coax a daughter-in-law.

"Okay, thank you big brother." Jiage was very happy, "Now I don't have to worry about getting lost."

The opinions finally reached a consensus.Schatz got up and walked to the window, silently looking at the black lights below.

Kuru followed, wrapped his arms around Shatz's waist from behind, felt the tight lines of the human body, and breathed lightly towards the soft earlobe, "Don't be angry, that was all nonsense just now. I'm not Who else could be your partner?"

Shatz lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't want to talk to him, but his earlobe quietly turned a lovely red.When Kuru saw it, he couldn't help biting it.

"Gulu!" Schatz trembled all over, "Don't do this..."

"No way?" Kuru tilted his head, rubbed his face against his neck, his tone was tinged with a smile.

"The kid is still watching." Schatz whispered, "Besides... I'm not mad at you, I was just thinking..."

"What are you thinking?"

"Think about your purpose. You didn't agree to send him back because of me, did you?"

"How could that be?" Kuru responded, kissing Schatz on the back of the neck, but Schatz glared back angrily, and he had to say, "Well, not just because of you, but also because I want them metal." The volume of these two sentences was deliberately lowered, "I think their metal can be used to make the hull of a ship."

"I knew it!" Schatz said in the same low voice.

This dragon is not so kind!
