Chapter 15: The Bounty Wall
After telling the legend of the treasure that inspired generations of adventurers to go to sea, the chef also grilled the meat on the fishman's belly.
They are ripe white, slightly charred and covered with tiny brown particles that shimmer with a moist shine.
The reapplied spice has penetrated into the texture of the meat, creating an enticing visual effect.
"Dixi's grilled fish is not the same as what you eat often. Erlan pointed to the white porcelain plate that the chef had put down.
Donna pressed her knife and fork in her hand and said eagerly:
"I love honey grilled fish!
"But this one is also tempting. ”
Grilled fish with honey...... How much honey does that have to go...... If you have a chance to try it, it should taste good...... Klein's thoughts flashed across the board.
With the chef, they don't have to do it themselves, and they watch with anticipation as the pieces of fish are cut, put on different plates, and pushed in front of them.
Crane was very serious about enjoying the food, he didn't rush to deal with the fish, but first picked up the cup, took a sip of black tea, and used the slightly acidic liquid to remove the residual taste from his mouth.
After doing all this, he forked a slice of fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
In an instant, he felt the slightly pungent taste of cumin, basil and other spices, which fully opened up his taste buds.
Immediately afterwards, the delicious juice of the meat, the salty and slightly astringent aroma of the sea salt, and the refreshing sweetness and sweetness of the lemon burst out at the same time, intertwined, echoing in the mouth, and luring saliva.
The teeth chew and the grease is baked, and the last stubbornness of the fish is broken one by one, revealing the beauty and vague sweetness of the meat itself.
Klein swallowed the fish in his mouth, recalled the food show he watched in his previous life, and chose a comment that best suited the feeling just now:
"It's layered, it's great!"
"Haha, you speak in tone and diction like a foodie. Erlan joked.
Donna shook the fork in her hand and echoed, "Uncle, maybe you should open a column in the newspaper to comment on different restaurants and different cuisines. ”
Hey, why didn't I think of this idea all along...... It's a good job to earn money and taste good food! The only problem is that obese people can't be nimble clowns...... What a waste of food to use the Great Method of Vomiting! Klein seriously considered Xia Donna's proposal.
"For this wonderful night!"
When there was not much food left, Erlan poured some more Sunia blood wine and raised his glass with a ruddy face.
Klein and the others echoed in the same good mood:
"For this wonderful night. ”
They drank the remaining liquid from their cups one by one, and watched the waiters clean up the tables and clean the deck.
In the cold wind, they chatted for a while, and talked about the mermaid that Donna was most interested in.
Cleves told the little girl that in some legends, mermaids are also called kraken, and they use their singing to confuse humans not for fun, but for hunting, in addition to the possibility of encountering this creature on the route from the Gargas Islands to the depths of the Sunia Sea, there are also certain opportunities to discover in the sea areas that humans have not yet explored, full of dangers, but this all stems from the boasting words of some pirates when they are drunk, and they all avoid the question of how they escaped the mermaid's song, which is not too believable.
Either way, this points to at least a possible direction...... Klein jotted down the words they discussed.
"Donna, Denton, it's time to go back, you have to get up early tomorrow to have breakfast with your parents. Cecil glanced at the moon's position.
"Okay. Donna reluctantly stood up.
Denton hurriedly asked:
"Me, do I have a chance to be an adventurer?"
His mind had been captured by the previous hunts and the legends he had just had.
Cleves walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"You'll need at least five years of martial arts training and knowledge before asking this question, and I think your father will get you a good tutor. ”
"Hmm!" Denton's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.
In five years' time, when you grow up, you probably won't want to be an adventurer who will die at the bottom of the sea at any time...... Cleves's handling is very old-fashioned, he didn't refuse directly, but gave hope and let time wash away, which avoided the sudden rebellion of the child...... In any case, mastering a martial art will not disadvantage anyone...... Crane thought appreciatively with his hands in his pockets.
On the way back to the interior of the cabin, Cleves handed Klein two 5-pound bills:
"Your reward. ”
He had just received 150 pounds from Erlan for the purchase of the whole fish-man.
"I didn't do anything. Crane instinctively refused.
Cleves swept him with pale blue eyes, and said in a low voice:
"You liberated Cecil and looked after the children. ”
Crane wanted to laugh, but eventually took the two bills and drew a triangle on his chest:
"You're more generous than I thought, thank you. ”
He didn't shirk anymore but suddenly figured out a problem, if he didn't take the 10 pounds, in the eyes of a veteran adventurer like Cleves, he was not satisfied with the price, trying to get more, and he could attack them at any time - among the self-proclaimed adventurers, there are not a few crazy people who are greedy for money!
Seeing that Gelman Sparrow had finished the banknote, Cleves withdrew his gaze and said with a flat expression:
"It's the rule of the sea. ”
Without further ado, he followed Cecil and Donna into the cabin.
If every single commission, every task, was of this difficulty, and I could have this kind of gain, I would have made a fortune by the profession of private detective a long time ago...... Crane laughed to himself and glanced sideways at the red moon in the sky.
It still shines quietly and gently in the night.
"Legends of the sea, different monsters...... I've finally found a bit of an adventurer's feeling. Crane turned and walked to the edge of the ship, bathed in crimson light veils, admiring the waves that grew darker and darker farther away, and gradually his mood settled, and he gradually came out of the gloom behind the great smog of Beckland.
The cold and damp wind slapped on his face, and the vast and boundless ocean met his eyes, making his heart slowly open.
At this moment, Crane had the urge to sing poetry, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he could not remember the corresponding modern verses.
You can't say a word, the sea, you're all water...... The Emperor's "generalist" sequence is really perfect for doing something similar, and if you have time, you can flip through his poetry collections, so as not to look like an illiterate person...... Klein looked at the red moon and the ocean while sneering, and sighed:
"It was a great night. ”
............
After an unexpected loss, the Discovery Team returns to Silver City.
Looking at the grassy walls in the cracks, Darek was in a trance, as if he had been gone for many years.
Diagonally behind him, the "Demon Hunter" Colin suddenly lost his eyes, and raised his hand to press the right temple.
The rest of the team was filled with heartfelt joy and relaxation.
After a difficult exploration, it is the most beautiful thing in their hearts to have a destination and a home waiting for them.
Colin's gaze returned to normal, tilting his head slightly, looking diagonally ahead.
............
Beckland, White House.
After much thought, Emlyn, full of confidence, came to her parents and asked:
"If, if I want to delve into the history of our Bloodline, who should I turn to?"
Asking directly about Silver City is likely to expose my problems, although I am not afraid, I am very calm, but for the sake of the ancestors, in order to save the entire blood clan, I can only choose to conceal it...... I've always been interested in the history of the Bloodline, and I've done a lot of research, and my dad and mom know this well enough to have no doubts...... The excuse was perfect!Emlyn said to herself.
His father was five or six points similar to him, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked very professional.
The gentleman, who had really obtained a doctorate in medicine, put down the thick "Anatomy" in his hand, pushed down his glasses and said:
"No one in Bakeland knows more than Lord Nibais. ”
...... If I had dared to go to Master Nibais, I would have gone long ago...... Emlyn thought of the Savior's posture of carrying secrets and misunderstandings described by Mr. "The Fool", and asked with a serious expression:
"Except for Lord Nibais?
"He was sleeping underground, and it was not convenient for him to be disturbed frequently. ”
Emrin's father pulled down the collar of his thick cotton pajamas, thought for a moment, and said:
"Wimandi, he always considered himself a historian. ”
Emlyn secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"I hope to visit him. ”
............
Woo!
The whistle sounded, and the White Onyx sailed into the port of Damir.
It will replenish the colonial island with fresh water and food, setting sail again the next morning.
After hunting the fishman, Klein spent two days of life that can be described as leisurely or boring, and the scenery on the sea was completely boring, and decided to go to the harbor bar tonight to explore, hoping to get more mermaid information and find inspiration to play it.
If I encounter a pirate with bloody hands ashore, I will not be stingy with a lesson, and there are still spirits waiting to be released in the "wriggling hunger...... Crane put all the magical items on his body, sweated on his forehead and left the cabin and went down to the harbor.
In the process, he meets Donna and Cleves, among others, who seem to be heading to the port restaurant to taste Damir's most famous cured meats.
Donna and Denton take advantage of their parents' lack of attention to say hello to their adventurer uncle, whom they met last night, and seem curious about where he plans to go.
Crane smiled back, pulled up his neckline, and followed the signs to find the nearest bar.
"Flying Fish and Wine ......" Klein glanced at the signboard and saw that the door of the bar was plastered with various bounty orders.
There are 800,000 pounds belonging to the "King of the Five Seas", and hundreds of pounds for ordinary pirate leaders, from high to the ground, layered on top of each other, forming a unique scenery.
"It's all money......" Crane stopped and looked at it for a long time.
Retracting his gaze, he pushed the door open and entered the bar, where he found that it was unusually quiet, without the noise necessary for such an occasion.
What happened?Klein looked around and saw Captain Erlan in a dark infrared suit sitting at the bar, and saw two strong men facing each other in the center.
