Chapter 17: The Lizard Man
Alan took the subway map and repeatedly compared the movement trajectory of the lizard-body, and had to accept the fact that the lizard-body man he was looking for might be a subway!
"If my guess is true, I can wait for the lizard man as long as I wait here!" Alan thought to himself.
The rest of the time, Alan sat on the waiting bench, seemingly with his eyes closed, but in fact tracking the icon representing the lizard man on the map. The subway comes and goes, and the crowd of people walks in a hurry, up and down.
"It's coming!" Allen's glasses opened instantly, and he walked forward with an imperative momentum. "Let me see what the hell is going on!"
Alan boarded the subway with the crowd, the alarm bell rang, and the subway door slowly closed, at this moment, all the scenes in Allen's eyes changed, and this change made Allen shocked!
All the people seemed to be frozen in time and space: the raised hands of the middle-aged man who was talking wantonly had not been put down, the curvature of the mouth of the beautiful girl laughing did not change in the slightest, and the young man with headphones looked indifferent, but his body did not move......
Even the armrests and seats have changed. The handrails at the top of the subway have been replaced by cyan fibrous objects. The chairs are even stranger, with dark green backs and huge scales shaped like fish. On each scaly seat sat a green one, especially like an avatar villain, except that the lower half of their bodies turned into the cushions of the chairs. The arms of these little green men stretched straight out, turning into the armrests of their seats. The most frightening thing is that there is a needle-like straw attached to the giant scales on the back of each little green man's head. People in positions sit on these little green men, and gases of various colors come out of the top of people's heads, are inhaled into the mouths of little green people, and then burrow into the needles behind the little green people's heads, and pass into the scales.
"System, what is this, why did I see such a horrible scene?" the frightened Alan called the system desperately in his mind. God is pitiful, he has never seen such a strange scene in his previous life.
"Host, please don't panic, the magic orb of Falls that you carry with you can remove all negative states, including confusion. The familiar sound of the system succeeded in calming Allen.
"Confused, so are the lizardmen this subway or these little green men?" asked Alan without thinking.
"These involve tasks that need to be explored by the host on their own. ”
Allen, who couldn't get an answer, no longer asked the system, but thought to himself, "Lizard-bodied people, lizard-hued people, lizard-body people?, grammatically speaking, then this subway should be a huge lizard, and these little green men should be lizard people!" Alan clapped his palms excitedly, "Yes, it must be like that." ”
The crisp high-five broke the silence in the subway, and in an instant, all the little green men opened their eyes, and the yellow eyeballs stared at Allen in unison, and Allen's heart was hairy, and the cold hairs on his back stood on end.
After settling his mind, Alan asked, "Hello, do you understand what I say?"
The little greens were still staring at him in unison.
"Could it be that you don't understand English?" Alan said a little numb, "Bonjour, Guten morgen, Buon Giorno, ma ha la ha, ...... "Hello" in all the language that came to mind, and the little green people still stared at him, not doing anything else.
"Are you staring at me like this without blinking and getting tired? I don't know how to talk beasts!" Alan suddenly remembered his hard-earned Fowles magic ball, and hurriedly summoned it out of the system's storage compartment, I don't know if it was an illusion, Alan felt that the brightness in the eyes of the little green people staring at him around him was a little scorching.
"Hello Mr. Magician, we won't get tired without blinking, please forgive us for being rude just now!" an old voice sounded in the carriage behind Allen.
Alan hurriedly turned around to look, and a little green man with a white beard with a golden crown inlaid with red gems appeared in the carriage behind Allen with a little green man leading a small green man. Unlike the little green people on the seats, they have a long needle attached to the carriage on their backs, but long enough for them to move around and hide themselves.
"Hello, my name is Alan, who are you?" Alan hurriedly bowed and introduced himself. In his previous life, Alan lived in the Celestial Empire, where many people are not to blame and the country of etiquette, so he was naturally very polite and knew how to show due respect to the king of a race.
"Hello, we are the elves of Lady Luck Falls—Lucky Elves. My name is Forness, and this is my grandson and my heir, Fort. Folness gestured to Alan to the little green man next to him.
"Mr. Forness, as the king of the Lucky Elves, do you know anything about the Lizardmen?" Alan inquired about Folness.
"Lizardman, do the outside world call us that now?Who remembers the help and happiness that the lucky elves bring to people?" Folness's voice was full of heaviness and indignation.
"So, the lucky elf is a lizard?" Allen's guess was confirmed.
"Yes, the Lucky Elf is what you call a lizard. At the beginning, the goddess of luck Fowles made a bet with Eris, the goddess of luck thinks that human nature is good, and the goddess of bad luck thinks that human nature is evil, and they choose a good house favored by the goddess of luck as the object of the bet, and the goddess of bad luck wins, so as the elves of the goddess of luck, we are cursed for eternity, and the pet dementors of the goddess of bad luck can swagger into the world. However, Lady Luck left an oracle, and when someone appeared with her magic orb, it was when our people were liberated. At this, Folness became excited. "We've been waiting for you for years, and we've finally got you. With that, Folness eagerly looked at the magic ball in Allen's hand.
"What should I do?" Alan also wanted to help the victims of the bet.
"As long as you have a sincere heart to save us, you can recite this spell to activate the magic orb. Folness instantly slid over to Alan and handed over a roll of parchment.
Alan took the parchment, looked at it, and asked the system in his mind to help him discern it, and said, "Mr. Fornis, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking a question, why are you called lucky elves?"
"It's nothing, Mr. Magician, except that we are the elves of Lady Luck, we feed on the seven emotions and six desires that humans exude, and at the same time give back to humanity happiness and joy. "But now the happiness and joy we generate are sucked away by these straws." My guess is that it may be the Dementors, the pets of the goddess of doom, a group of monsters that specialize in sucking the happiness and joy of humans. "Looks like Folness hates Dementors!
"Okay, I'm ready. Allen, who has been recognized by the system, said.
