Lizard Keeping Diary

A crow and a hanging sack sit on a bare branch overlooking the scorched land.The house shows signs of renovation.The main house is full of ancient atmosphere, with correct shape and elegant atmosphere.

A man, who claimed to be the manor's servant, led the way.Shatz followed behind, looking around at the scenery in the manor.

When he came under the tree, Shatz suddenly saw clearly.That hanging sack is not just a sack, there is a person in it.The head was exposed, the face was indistinct, and it was completely covered in dirt and blood.

The sack was tied to the man, and the man was tied to a tree. From the back, one could only see the sack covering the body, and only the limbs and head could be seen when walking to the front.

Could be another dummy... or a corpse.Forget it, a corpse is a corpse.Very common.

Schatz didn't even know what he was thinking.

The previous man introduced them to a wild swamp.They sank their bodies, passed out briefly, and appeared here when they woke up.

And they are clean.

Schatz felt like he was dreaming.The pop-up man, the pop-up manor, the pop-up tree and the crow.If it is in a dream, then there is nothing special about the appearance of a few corpses.

"Don't look there." The man noticed his gaze, "That's not auspicious."

The point is... isn't it auspicious...?

Schatz walked forward blankly, ignoring the advice many times, and looked back at the tree.Then he saw Kuru's expression, it was stormy and cloudy.

"Are you okay?" Schatz patted Kuru on the shoulder, "Take it easy."

He didn't even know why he was in charge of comforting.

The manor looked weird, and he should have been shivering, at least in his heart, but he didn't feel anything now.

He's not heavy and alert like Kuru.He was not afraid, and he had no intention of retreating. Before he came, he was a little uneasy, but after approaching the main house, he suddenly felt a sense of intimacy, just like...

... back home.

Shatz stood at the door of the main house, watching the man open the door.The iron door made an unpleasant sound, and turned sideways to welcome the guests to enter.

After entering the door, Schatz saw the people standing in the hall for the first time, and couldn't help but secretly marvel.

How can there be such a person!

He has black skin, which is almost completely blocked, and the shape of his facial features cannot be seen clearly.He was tall and slender, in a black suit, and his hair was carefully arranged.His eyes were dyed with grape juice, as described in fairy tales, they were incomparably beautiful.

At this moment, this pair of beautiful and rare purple eyes was aimed at Shatz, full of indescribable emotions.

"Here you come, Schatz."

Schatz instinctively wanted to step forward.But Kuru grabbed him and pinched his palm hard.Schatz shivered and began to wake up.

"Fortunate...fortunate to meet you, your house is really nice." Schatz made some introductory remarks indiscriminately, and then said, "Who is your Excellency? Why did you invite us?"

"I think you know who I am." The black man seemed to be smiling. "I believe you have come a long way. You have worked hard all the way, and you are already hungry. I ordered someone to prepare dinner. Come with me."

He turned around, walked a few steps by himself, and then found that Schatz did not follow, so he said, "Why, are you afraid that I will lead you into a trap, or that I will poison the food? You have already come, even this point Don't you dare take any chances, Schatz Sacktallon?"

Hearing this title, Shatz gritted his teeth and strode forward.Kuru had to follow.

When everyone came to the restaurant, there were two bowls and chopsticks on a square table, but the dishes were all covered by the dome, and it was impossible to tell what dishes were inside.

"Sit anywhere."

Having said that, there are only two chairs at the scene, facing each other, and the positions are prepared in advance.

After the black man took his seat, Schatz sat across from him.Kuru stood beside him like a bodyguard.There really isn't a third chair around.Schatz was slightly puzzled.From just now, Kuru seemed to be ignored.

If he hadn't been able to see Kuru, he would have thought there were only two people here.Because the black manor owner never looked at Kuru from the beginning to the end.

Inexplicably embarrassing.

Schatz sat there, facing his plate, wondering what was under the lid.He thought of several horrible but unlikely possibilities, and then comforted himself that the situation shouldn't be that bad.

Perhaps instead of bloody severed limbs, chopped bones, and skulls pretending to be a staple, there might just be a plate of goulash with fresh sweet onions.

Schatz opened the lid and was surprised to find that he had guessed right.The dish really is goulash!

Even the portion of the onion was exactly as he thought.

Schatz took a bite, and there was nothing wrong with the taste.Maybe this is really a dream.Otherwise, how could he get what he wanted?The other party will never know that he likes goulash.

The black manor owner also opened the lid, revealing the grilled fish on the plate.It was a boneless fish with a slight burnt aroma.He sliced ​​and ate with a knife and fork, red liquid dripping from the nearby glass, and Schatz's glass contained fizzy lemonade.

Everything seemed to be specially prepared, a diet presented according to Schatz's preferences.

Schatz was silent, and ate another potato.The food is good, but he is a bit tasteless.Kuru was still there, like an invisible man.

He began to wonder why Kuru didn't speak.Even though he could see all this, he turned a blind eye to it. What was even more strange was the attitude of the black manor owner.Since I knew they were coming, why didn't I prepare an extra chair?

Thinking of this, Schatz decided to stand up.He couldn't take it anymore.He was going to bring a chair over.If he can't find it, he won't come to eat.

Not very hungry anyway.

Schatz opened the door and went out.Kuru was still standing there.

"Let's go," Schatz said.But Kuru clenched his fist, but there was no response from his feet.

The black manor wiped his mouth with a veil, got up and went to where Shatz was.After he started moving, Kuru also started walking.

"No appetite? Maybe I can show you around before it's completely dark. You're coming from the front, so the view may not be very good. But there's a garden at the back, you should like it."

Schatz responded, allowing the black manor owner to step forward and act as a guide.

The house was several floors high, and there was a man cleaning the stairs. Schatz took a closer look and found that the man looked the same as the previous man, but he was dressed differently.

As they passed, the man stopped.Schatz was a little curious about whether the previous man had changed his outfit, so he teased the man and asked in a very small voice, "Hey, do you still recognize me?"

"..." The man looked at him expressionlessly, vaguely dazed.

"They're not the same person," the black plantation owner replied, "They're all bulk goods, so they look the same. There's a cook I used to make, and she's different from them. You'll know when you meet her. "

"Oh."

Schatz put down his hand and continued walking with the black manor owner.Although he didn't understand what bulk goods were, he already knew that these were dummies, and they used some secret method to make them movable.

They did not see the so-called cook, but the garden was found.

Feeling the conscience, it is not well taken care of here.Schatz could see that the soil had been disturbed, seedlings were planted and trees were planted, but for some reason, they didn't grow very well.

"Have you ever planted flowers?" the black manor owner asked abruptly. "There used to be a lot of flowers here, but they all withered. I replanted them and asked them to take care of them, but they still couldn't grow."

"Does growing a potted morning glory count?" Schatz said.That was when he was in school.

The black manor owner's lips curled up, "It depends on whether he survives or not."

"Survived."

"That means it's been planted. And it's been planted well."

Schatz let out a small laugh.The tone of the black manor owner was gentle and full of approval, which made him feel very happy.

The sky outside the garden was dull.The surrounding area is desolate and full of shadows.Schatz could tell that the manor was on a hill, although he couldn't remember where there was a mountain nearby when he left.After a while he asked, "What the hell is this place?"

"Sacktallon Manor," said the Negro manor.

Shatz was stunned for a moment, "Then you are..."

The black manor replied softly, "Shatz Sacktallon, I am your father."

Schatz rubbed his nose. "You don't expect me to believe that." He felt a little awkward because he was going to talk about an annoying character next. "My father's name is Hall. Although he is a scum, and I don't talk to him." His last name, but I don't really have a second father. Or, were you using some metaphor?"

"No, I'm really your father. That... Hall, was just your stepfather. This is where your mother, Patty, gave birth to you. Don't you feel familiar when you're in the house?"

It sounds incredible.But he still felt a sense of familiarity.

The dim light, the slightly warped edges of the wooden floor, the sound of footsteps in the stairwell, the huge decorative paintings at every corner, the sighing noise when the door opened...

The more Shatz thought about it, the more he felt that all of this was something he had experienced before, but it was too long ago, and if he hadn't been reminded, he wouldn't be able to remember it.

"If this is Sacktallon Manor, what about you?" Schatz asked, "Are you Shelia Sacktallon?"

The black manor owner smiled, "Shelia is long gone. My name is Badley, after my father, and he is also called Badley. If you want, you can go to the family portrait gallery with me. , meet the successive members of the Sactalon family."

Schatz nodded.Although he hasn't figured out why the other party determined that his surname is Sactalon, it doesn't hurt to go and have a look.

He pulled Kuru twice, hoping to go there together.However, Kuru stood firm and remained motionless.

"Gulu, what's wrong with you?"

From just now, this dragon has been weird.

The black manor had already walked away.Kuru lowered his head.Shatz saw a layer of cold sweat covering Kuru's forehead, sliding down the pale outline.He suddenly understood.Kuru was in pain and had been gritting his teeth and enduring it.

But Ikuru's character is not silent and patient, not trying to solve it or telling him.The reason Kuru kept silent could only be... powerless!

Shatz supported Kuru, touched his wrist with one hand, and felt his skin was cold.

There is definitely something wrong.

Schatz raised his head in a swish, "Badley!" He stopped the black man, and when the other person turned around, he raised his voice, "Did you do something to him?"

Badre walked up to him, as if noticing Kuru's existence for the first time.

"Why do you think I did something to him?" Badre sounded curious.

"The servants in the house are all dummies, aren't they? You can control them." Schatz glared at the black man, and seeing that he didn't retort, he emphasized, "Why can't you control him too?"

Badre laughed.

"Smart." The tone seemed to be praising the child. "Not long after he entered the main house, he became a dog of mine. I can tolerate the dog watching us eat, but the only place we will go next is the family." Members can enter, so I can't let him follow. I can only wrong him to stay here."

Schatz felt like his brain was about to explode. "What did you say!?" He gritted his teeth, "You called my partner... a dog?! How dare you!"

As the fury burned fiercely, a trace of black mist leaked from Shatz's body, quickly turning around his body, and then formed a misty black tentacle.

Schatz usually rejects the idea of ​​actively attacking others, but at this moment, the fact that Kuru was hurt and insulted filled his mind, and the instigator was still standing there with confidence, which made him even more angry and roared:

"Kill this guy!"

He wanted to use magic to intimidate Badre, so that he threatened the other party to release the control of Kuru.

The little black tentacles were rarely summoned. Immediately obeying Schatz's order, they rushed forward excitedly and attacked the enemy straight.

If Budley couldn't dodge, the little black tentacles could go right through Budley's heart, killing him, or as Schatz had told him in his head, just inflict pain without actually killing the enemy.

It is best at inflicting pain!

The little black tentacles happily approached Badre.

Unexpectedly, the black man moved suddenly, and the dark skin on his fingertips began to fade to pale.

It turned out that his skin was not really black, but a black film on the surface, a small piece of which broke away from the skin, floated in the air, and turned into a huge black thick mist.

Facing this petite tentacle, the huge black thick fog stretched out and swallowed it into the stomach at once.

how so? !Schatz was shocked.

Although it just ate a small tentacle, the black fog was still not satisfied, and flew towards Shatz, and it was about to swallow this big living person, when suddenly there was a loud shout:

"Come back! Who allowed you to touch him?!"

The thick black fog paused, and slowly turned around and returned to the master's side.

Badre frowned, "And that little thing? Why did you swallow it? Let it out!"

The thick black fog contracted pitifully, as if being squeezed by the surrounding objects.Then the thick black mist opened, and a thin black mist fell out from it, which was the little black tentacle.

As soon as he escaped from the sky, the little black tentacles immediately flew back to Xia Ci, but hid behind Xia Ci and shivered, not daring to go forward, as if it had encountered something terrible in the black fog things.

Shatz had never experienced a situation where his magic was completely canceled out, and he couldn't recover in a daze.

This... This man possesses the same magic as him, but it is so much stronger!The black mist has become so thick that it has turned into a solid, covering Badre's skin!

"Do you trust me now, Schatz?" Badre said, looking at him, "This is the strength of our family. I am hundreds of times your age and strength beyond your imagination. But I will never I will use this power to hurt you, because you shed my blood and are my flesh and blood."

Schatz stared back at Badley in a daze. The black substance on the man's skin gradually faded away and turned into a black mist that condensed behind him.A handsome face was exposed.

...It is undeniable that Badre's facial features are indeed somewhat similar to his...

Those dark purple eyes are unique, with a faint light flashing, trying their best to convey their kindness.

Shatz suddenly shivered, and turned to look at Kuru, only to see that he had his eyes closed, his face was covered in cold sweat, and he was helpless and could only rely on himself.Schatz only felt heartache and difficulty breathing.

"Please let him go." He knew he couldn't compete with Badley, so he pleaded, "I was wrong. I was the one who offended and disrespected you. It's none of his business. What happened to him since he entered the manor?" Never made a mistake."

Badre looked at him from a distance, narrowed his long and narrow eyes, seemed a little dissatisfied, and was indifferent to his plea.

Seeing this, Shatz gritted his teeth and shouted, "Father! Please!"

"Finally, I am willing to change my mouth."

Badre laughed lightly, and the thick fog around him covered again, turning back into a pure black person.

Shatz looked at the man in his arms, and saw that Kuru took a deep breath suddenly, as if the mountain that had been pressing on his chest had disappeared.The weak golden eyes slowly opened, and Xia Ci found his own reflection in them, and couldn't help hugging Kuru tightly, trembling all over.

It's ok... ok his dragon is alright...
