Almighty Alchemist - v3 Chapter 97
The stretch of Mount Lelegula has always been the mother peak in the eyes of the people of the northern continent.
This mountain range has bred at least four large rivers and watered the land of many countries, including Reims and Frank.
The Fengshou River is the second largest river coming out of the Ligula Mountain. It is formed by the confluence of twelve tributaries. It is not as turbulent and fierce as the first major river, the Gura River, and it is not as remote as other large rivers. Long flow, crossing the entire Reims empire, creating the richest piece of land in Reims. From the name, we can see the gratitude of the Lances to this river.
The galloping river rolls white waves, runs along the terrain, and runs freely in the jungle. After rushing out of the steep mountain peak, it washed out a vast plain, which is the Utubla Plain.
The water potential slowly slowed down here, like a beautiful ribbon, floating on the plains, and the jungle beasts on both sides screamed and lived vigorously. Farther away, it is a large area of farmland. At this time, the crops in the field have grown, and the field is green.
There are not only farmers but also fishermen who depend on the bumper river. This season is the time when the albacores in the bumper river return to spawn. Experienced fishermen will catch nets during this period. The meat of albacore is delicious and has always been a favorite dish on the aristocratic table. Fish fillets made from albacore are even eligible to be served in the palace for the emperor to taste.
However, albacores are very fierce, very fierce, and have sharp teeth. Even if caught, they often bite through the nets to escape, or suddenly exploded after being salvaged on a boat, biting fishermen.
Every year, fisherman deaths occur as a result of albacore attacks.
Simone sat on the bow of her boat, her hands beating flexibly on a fishing net, like a dance, with a low humming sound in her throat, singing a local melody, with beautiful tunes.
Soon, she turned to the cabin and shouted, “Grandpa, the fishing nets have been repaired!”
There was an old voice in the cabin: “Oh, is it? My Simone is the most capable, let me see.”
An old man came out of the cabin, wearing the robes that fishermen often wore, and his cloudy eyes stopped on his granddaughter, showing a loving smile, before taking the fishing net tremblingly.
The bark-like hand rubbed on the fishing net, the old man said, “Good job, my child. This fishing net has been repaired by you no less than ten times, has it? But it still looks the same as the new one. . “
The young girl’s expression was very proud: “I’ll do the first net today.”
The first net for fishermen to start fishing has always been of special significance. Fishermen believe that the harvest of the first net directly determines their harvest this season.
The old man solemnly agreed.
The girl took the fishing net back and leaned her hands on her chest: “Great God, it ’s the food you give us, the wealth you give us, the way you teach us how to live, and the sweet water that guides us in the darkness to find the light .Your reward, we accept, your punishment, we dare not shirk, your instructions, we dare not violate … “
After silently praying, the girl covered the fishing net in her hand.
Catching albacores is actually simple and difficult.
As long as the position of the net is set, the rest to do is to wait for the finfish to stumble into the net by itself. Its gills will hang on the net, making it impossible to retreat. As to whether you can use your own power to break free of the fishing net, it depends not only on the fish itself, but also on the quality of the fishing net, as well as luck. In order to pray for good luck, the gods have become the most important dependence for fishermen.
Without waiting too long, the fishing net swayed visibly, which meant that fish had entered the net.
Catching albacore can’t count on many nets. One net can be salvaged, which is a satisfactory harvest.
Simone ran to close the net, her face was very excited, and she was also nervous.
She hoped that she could successfully bring this fish net, pulling the fishing net with her left hand, and holding a harpoon in her right hand.
“It’s so heavy, we caught a big fish, grandpa!” The little girl turned back and called.
The old man also came over excitedly.
Grandpa and grandson worked hard to close the net together.
However, when the nets came in, Simone froze.
Where there was a fish in the net, there was a bald man lying.
“Oh my gosh, it’s alone! Grandpa.”
Simone closed her eyes and shouted that the man was bare.
“A wounded man.” The old man’s expression was serious, and he clearly saw that the man’s belly had a black sword in it.
The old man quickly opened the net, put his face on the man’s chest, and listened: “Hell, he is still alive. Looking at his skin, he has soaked in the water for at least one day, and suffered such a serious injury, but he has not died Is this guy hit by iron? “
“He’s alive? So what do we do?” Simone secretly looked at the man from his fingers. God, he’s really strong, but … but what’s the thing below him? Xiao Nizi is curious.
She saw the man covered in strange tattoos.
“Maybe we should throw him back.” The old man said seriously, as an old man who had lived for decades, he knew exactly what this kind of thing meant.
Trouble, trouble with the samurai, even if it is a low-level samurai, it is not something he can provoke.
“But we can’t do that, he will die.”
“We don’t say, no one knows.”
Simone put down his hand and looked at his grandfather, with a serious expression: “But God knows. God grants, we accept, God punishes, we don’t quit. Maybe this is God’s arrangement, send this person to us for us Save him. We cannot reject God’s arrangement. “
“Stupid child, there is no **** in this world.” The old man shook his head.
“but……”
“I’m sorry, Simone. I can’t agree with you on this matter. You don’t know how dangerous the world is now. This guy has a sword in it, which means that someone wants to kill him. We don’t know **** him. What kind of man is he, but no matter who it is, we can’t afford it. Throw him back into the water! “The old man looked at the man and sighed:” I’m sorry, young man, if it is I am alone, I will save you, but for my granddaughter … “
He grabbed the man’s shoulder and was ready to push him into the water.
“No! Grandpa!” Simone yelled.
The old man was about to speak, but found that the man in a coma suddenly opened his eyes.
Blood red eyes, seeing the old man’s heart cold.
This look is clearly not what human beings can have, just like the devil, it is frightening. As for the tattoo on his body, it emits a strange light …
He actually stood up, stretched out a hand, and slowly pulled out the long black sword in his belly, and blood and water frightened along the blade.
The old man was stunned and fell on his knees: “Please … don’t … don’t kill me … no, no, this is all my idea. If you want to kill, kill me, please let go of my granddaughter … “
The beeping voice was not answered, and the old man looked up dullly.
He saw that the man in the water fell down again …
The old man and Simone looked at each other.
Simone bravely approached the man, and she saw that this was actually a very good looking man, with sharp edges and full contours, full of explosive muscles covering his whole body, and even some strange tattoos were full of special Beauty …
“Are you sure you want to throw him down? Grandpa,” Simone asked softly.
The old man took a nap and finally lowered his head.
He murmured, “This is the will of God, and the will of God must not be violated …”
When the man woke up, he found himself in a narrow cabin.
Air-dried fish was hung from the top of the cabin, the boat was shaking slightly in the water, and people heard crunching sounds on the ship’s board, and even the sound of rushing rivers.
There was no one else in this humble cabin. He tried to sit up, but found that his belly and his body were covered with bandages. These bandages were made of rags.
A little girl came in holding a bowl of hot fish soup, and was shocked to see the man standing there, and almost spilled the fish soup.
She quickly put down the fish soup and said in an excited tone, “Are you awake?”
Mu Na’s eyes glanced at the girl. The man didn’t answer, but just showed a curious look, as if he were looking at a rare toy.
This made the girl’s face a little red, and she rubbed the corner of her clothes and said softly, “I hope you won’t be angry with my grandpa’s behavior. In any case, he still didn’t do that.”
“Your … Grandpa?” The man uttered a strain.
“Well.” The little girl nodded strongly.
Then she was disappointed to see that there was no expression on the man’s face, as if what happened the day before yesterday had nothing to do with him.
After thinking about it, the girl held up the fish soup and brought it to the man’s mouth.
The man was a little confused. Looking at the girl, he saw that sincere look.
So he took the fish soup and drank it.
“Be careful! It’s hot!” The girl cried.
Men don’t seem to feel.
The girl bit her teeth slightly, this man … strange.
So she dared to ask, “Hey … what’s your name? How could you be in the water and get hurt?”
The man looked at the girl and said nothing, and went straight out of the cabin.
“Hey, you’re injured. It’s not good yet. Don’t run around.”
The man turned his head to look at the little girl, and then untied the bandages around him.
Watching his movements, the little girl yelled, “You can’t do that, the wound hasn’t healed.”
The bandage was untied, and the man’s lower abdomen was as smooth as a mirror, and the little girl looked dull.
“You … your injury, OK?” She couldn’t believe it.
The man didn’t answer, just looked at the little girl.
The little girl blushed more and more, and she lowered her head and said, “So … well, you can go. But …”
The man still didn’t speak, and the little girl stomped. “But you have to say where you are and let your family bring you some money. Anyway … you have to pay us for fishing net money.”
In the last sentence, the little girl spoke very quietly.
“Family …” The man chewed this sentence carefully, his eyebrows thinking.
“Don’t you have a family?” The girl asked in shock.
“I … don’t … know …” the man answered strenuously.
The girl was so disappointed that this man, who looked like steel, turned out to be a stammer.
The defect of the other party made the girl’s courage much stronger, she asked:
“So, what’s your name and where does it come from?”
The confused color appeared in the man’s eyes: “Name? I don’t … know … I … don’t … remember …”
The little girl was stunned.
She murmured, “God, what kind of person did you send us?” ~!
