Chapter 17: The Reptilian (revised, typos have been corrected)

　　 Allen held the subway map and repeatedly checked the trajectory of the Reptilians.
　　 "If nothing happens, I just have to wait here, and I can wait for the Reptilian to deliver the door by himself." Allen judged.
　　 The next time Alan sat on the waiting bench, seemingly in a daze, but in fact, he was tracking the icon representing the reptilian on the map. The subway came and went, and the crowds hurried up and down.
"Come on," Allen stood up and walked forward with a certain momentum. He boarded the subway with the crowd, the alarm bell rang, and the subway door slowly closed. At this moment, Allen saw All the scenes have changed, and this change shocked Allen!
All people seem to have been frozen in time and space: the middle-aged man who talks wantonly has not put down his high hands; the arc of the beautiful girl who laughs has not changed at all; the young man with headphones has a cold face, but his body has nothing. 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 bizarre. The back of the chair is pale and looks like huge scales of fish.
　　 Each scaly seat turned into a pale scaly, like a monster standing.
Compared with the lizard meaning in the name, they actually have a pale body like an eyeless giant worm, as well as a wide mouth and hands with claws. The part of the nose should have a pink color. Short tentacles-some of the tentacles deformed and extended to the top and transformed into handrails. (Author's note: Using the image of the Moon-beast in the myth of Cthulhu, the moon itself can be regarded as a related little foreshadowing.)
　　 It's just that their lower body has turned into a chair cushion. The single-armed claws of the pale monster on the two sides stretched straight, turning into armrests at the two ends of the seat. Positioned people are sitting on these monsters, standing people holding their tentacles in their hands. Gases of various colors drill out from people's facial features and are sucked into the mouths of short pink tentacles.
"It seems that these are the samurai. What are these ghosts sucking?" Allen looked at what was happening in front of him in horror. This scene exceeded his expectations. He had never seen such a weird before and after two lives. Scenes.
　　 The magic ball of Falls that Allen carried with him relieved the negative mental state that had puzzled him, and successfully calmed him down.
　　 A crisp high-five broke the silence in the subway. In an instant, all the Reptilians’ heads without eyes turned to the little wizard who had not yet enrolled in school. Alan’s heart was hairy, and his back was straight.
　　 settled down, Allen asked: "Uh... hello, I am a wizard, can you understand what I said?"
　　 The lizards are still staring at him.
"Could it be that I don't understand English?" Allen could only slow down his movements to avoid misunderstandings, and slowly took out the Falls magic ball that remembered his hard work. I don't know if it is an illusion, Allen I think the brightness in the eyes of the people staring at him is a bit scorching.
"Dear wizard, hello, please forgive us for being rude, we haven't communicated with humans for a long time." An old voice sounded in Alan's heart, this voice sounded obviously different from human voice , Obviously with the rubbing sound of scales similar to that of a rattlesnake wagging its tail.
Although it was not'heard', Allen turned around as if he knew the location, one with a golden crown inlaid with red gems on his head, and the scales around his mouth had become pale blue and began to fall off a lot. The Reptilian is leading a smaller Reptilian in the carriage behind Allen.
　　 Different from their counterparts on the seat, the lower body of these two reptiles is still in the form of legs.
"Hello, we are the believers of the goddess of luck-Lucky Elf. My name is Fornice, the chief of our tribe. This is my grandson and my heir, Ford." The mouth is not moving. Fornis pointed to the little reptilian next to him, and said that Allen was sure that the voice he heard was from the other party's idea of'projecting' his own thoughts into his own heart.
　　 "Chief Fornis, as the chief of the reptilian of the lucky elves..." Allen had just spoken halfway before being interrupted by Fornis.
　　 "Illards, do the outside world call us like that now? Who remembers the help and happiness that lucky elves bring to people?" Fornis' voice was heavy and sorrowful.
"Chief Furnis, please forgive the rudeness caused by my ignorance." Allen realized that he had accidentally offended them, although he felt that the image of this creature in front of him was not at all helpful and happy to others. Up...
"At the beginning, the goddess of luck Fowles and the goddess of doom Eris bet that the goddess of luck believed that human nature is inherently good, and the goddess of luck believes that human nature is inherently evil. They chose the good house favored by the goddess of luck as the object of the bet. As a result, the Goddess of Fortune won, so as believers of the Goddess of Luck, we are cursed forever, and the evil pets of the Goddess of Fortune can appear in the world in a big way." At this point, Fornis looked a little excited. "However, Goddess of Luck left the oracle. When someone appears holding her magic ball, that is when our clan is liberated, please help us complete the oracle and let us regain salvation."
After speaking, Fornes eagerly looked at the location of the magic ball carried by Alan with his eyeless head. Alan realized that this creature seemed to be able to "see" even with the best eyesight by projecting his own thoughts. Something that ordinary people can't see.
　　 In addition to the task itself, Allen also hopes to help these victims in the game of gods: "What should I do?"
　　 "As long as you have the heart to save us sincerely, you can recite this spell to activate the magic ball." Fornis slid to Alan in an instant, and then slowly passed a roll of parchment.
Allen took the parchment, and the symbols and texts on the paper that he did not recognize were rearranged and combined on the paper, and turned into a spell made up of English letters without knowing the specific meaning: "Chief Fornis, before starting, please Forgive me for taking the liberty to ask a question, why are you called lucky elves?"
"It's nothing, Mr. Wizard, except that we are the elves of the goddess of luck, we feed on the negative emotions that humans emit, and at the same time we can feed back to human happiness and happiness." Fornis stood tall, and then relaxed. It was a little frustrating after going down, "but now we have to do the opposite in addition to satisfying our appetite."
