Chapter 17 Lizard Body Man (Modified, Typos Have Been Corrected)

Allen held the subway map and repeatedly checked the movement trajectory of the lizard man.

"If nothing else happens, as long as I wait here, I can wait until the lizard man arrives." Allen judged.

For the next time, Allen sat on the waiting bench, seemingly in a daze, but was actually tracking the icon on the map representing the lizard. The subway is coming and going, and the crowds are hurrying up and down.

"Here we come," Allen stood up and walked forward with the momentum that he must win. He boarded the subway with the crowd, the alarm bell rang, and the subway doors slowly closed. All the scenes have changed, and this change makes Allen horrified!

All the people seem to have been frozen in time and space: the middle-aged man chatting wantonly raised his hand; Do not move……

Even the armrests and seats have changed. The handrails at the top of the subway were replaced by pink fibrous objects. The seat is even more weird, the back of the chair is pale, and its shape is very similar to the huge scales of fish.

On the seat of each scale became a pale scale, like a monster standing.

Compared with the lizard meaning in the name, they actually have a pale body like an eyeless giant worm, a wide mouth, and clawed hands. There is a mass of pink spots on the part where the nose should have been. Short Tentacles - Some of the tentacles deformed and extended to the tip and became the handrail. (Author's note: The image of the Moon-beast in the Cthulhu mythology is used, and the moon itself can be regarded as a small foreshadowing of the connection.)

It's just that their lower bodies have turned into cushions of chairs. The one-armed claws of the pale monsters on the farthest sides stretched straight out, turning into the armrests at the farthest ends of the seat. People with positions sat on these monsters, and those who stood held their tentacles in their hands. Gases of various colors drilled out of people's facial features and were sucked into the mouths of the short pink tentacles.

"It seems that these are the lizards. What are these ghosts absorbing?" Allen looked at what happened in front of him in horror. This scene exceeded his expectations. He had never seen such a strange thing in his two lives. Scenes.

The magic ball of Fowles carried by Allen relieved the negative mental state that confused him in front of him, and successfully calmed him down.

Crisp high-fives broke the silence in the subway. In an instant, the eyesless heads of all the lizards turned to the little wizard who hadn't entered school yet.

After settling his mind, Allen asked, "Uh... hello, I'm a wizard, can you understand what I'm saying?"

The lizards were still staring at him in unison.

"Could it be that you can't understand English?" Alan had no choice but to slow down his movements to avoid misunderstandings, and slowly took out the Fowles magic ball that reminded him of his hard-earned, I don't know if it was an illusion, Alan He felt that the brightness in the eyes of the lizard-bodied people staring at him was a bit scorching.

"Dear Mr. Wizard, hello, please forgive our rudeness just now, we have not communicated with humans for a long time." An old voice sounded in Allen's heart, and this voice sounded obviously different from the way humans speak , obviously with the scale rubbing sound similar to that of a rattlesnake shaking its tail.

Although he didn't hear it, Allen turned around quickly as if he knew the direction, and there was a gold crown inlaid with red gemstones on his head, and the scales around his mouth had turned light blue and began to fall off a lot The lizard man was leading a smaller lizard man to appear in the carriage behind Allen.

Unlike their counterparts on the seat, the lower body of these two lizards is still in the form of legs.

"Hello, we are followers of Fowles, the goddess of fortune - the lucky elves. My name is Fowles,

Is the chief of our tribe, this is my grandson, and my heir, Fordle. "Folness, whose mouth was not moving, pointed to the little scorpion man next to him and said to Alan, and Alan was sure that the voice he heard was from the other party who 'projected' his thoughts onto himself with his mind. in the heart.

"Chief Fornis, the chief of the lucky elves' clan of lizards..." Allen had just finished speaking when Fornis interrupted him.

"Lizard-body people, is that what the outside world calls us now? Who remembers the help and happiness that the lucky elves brought to people?" Fornis's voice was full of heaviness and grief.

"Chief Folness, please forgive me for being rude due to my ignorance." Allen realized that he accidentally offended them, although he felt that the image of this creature in front of him had nothing to do with bringing help and happiness to others above...

"At the beginning, Fowles, the goddess of fortune, made a bet with Eris, the goddess of misfortune. As believers of the goddess of fortune, we are cursed for eternity, and the evil pet of the goddess of fortune can appear in the world with a big swagger." Speaking of this, Folness seemed a little excited. "However, the goddess of fortune left an oracle. When someone appears with her magic ball, our family will be liberated. Please help us complete the oracle and let us regain redemption."

After finishing speaking, Folness looked eagerly at the position of the magic ball carried by Allen with his eyeless head, and Allen realized that this creature seemed to be able to "see" even the best eyesight just by projecting its own thoughts. Things that ordinary people can't see.

In addition to the task itself, Allen also hopes to help these victims of the game of the gods: "What should I do?"

"As long as you have a sincere heart to save us, just recite this spell to activate the magic ball." Fornes slid in front of Allen in an instant, and then slowly handed over a roll of parchment.

Allen accepted the parchment, and the symbols he didn't recognize on it were rearranged and changed on the paper, turning into a spell composed of English letters that he didn't know the specific meaning. Forgive me for asking a question, may I ask why you are called lucky elves?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Wizard, except that we are the elves of the goddess of fortune. We feed on the negative emotions emitted by humans, and at the same time, we can feed back happiness and happiness to humans." Fornes puffed out his chest, and then let go. He seemed a little frustrated when he continued, "But now we have to do the opposite besides satisfying our own appetite."
