137. Return to Haiyinsi

The city is located in the province of Innius, at the easternmost point of the Fevenbordora Mountains.

Walking out of the magic teleportation array of Haiyin Silk City, after the guards at the teleportation gate checked us, we came to the square in front of the teleportation array, the warm sea breeze was blowing, the sky and the sea were blue, and at the end of the horizon in the distance, you could just see the big seawall built in the sea, and the big seawall surrounded Haiyin Silk City.

An orca rushed out of the sea, and at the moment when its body reached its highest point, a column of rushing water erupted from the top of its head, and as the orca plunged into the sea, a huge wave appeared.

Not an extension of the Fevenbordor Mountains or an island in the sea, it is a city in the sea supported by hundreds of thousands of stone pillars rising from the ground, the most famous music city in the Grimm Empire, and the sound of the cheerful accordion is everywhere.

Although I knew that the climate here was warm in winter, I didn't expect it to be so hot, maybe it was the reason why Dì Dū was too cold in winter, and the clothes on my body had been appropriately reduced in the teleportation hall, but the first feeling when I came to Haiyin Silk City was still hot, and the heat wave was coming.

The dazzling sunlight shone down, I ripped open the collar of the magic robe, I felt like a hot bun in a steamer, although the sea breeze can take away some of the heat on my body, but the sweat still can't stop dripping down my face, Ying Li's face is also red, I took out a handkerchief and kept fanning myself with hot air, whispering to me: "It's so hot here!"

The magic teleportation array on this side of Haiyin Silk City is very grandiose, and there is a large square on the periphery of the teleportation array, it seems that there will be such a huge square in front of the portal in every city, and a group of beautiful girls in fur coats walked out of the portal talking and laughing, which also made the guards at the portal open their mouths wide, and their eyes kept rolling back and forth on the group of DìDū girls behind me.

Among the members of this trip to Strange Rock City, the female members occupy an absolute advantage, starting from Yingli, Helena, and Becky, as well as Katerina, Karantso, and Deborah, as well as the two sisters Annie and Sue, whom I specially invited, in addition to Senior Sister Erica, but Karantso and Deborah did not accompany them, and they are currently in the underground caverns of the Xinliu Valley with Ruka the Minotaur and Justus, the descendant of the Siren, waiting for me to open the door to summon.

As the princess of Haiyin Silk City, Ying Li does not need to spend a high teleportation fee to teleport Haiyin Silk City from DìDū, and it is precisely for this reason that our group will abandon the direct teleportation of Qiyan City, but teleport to Haiyin Silk City, and then transfer to the airship of Haiyin Silk City Airport to fly to Qiyan City.

Our group was chilling under the big banyan tree at the edge of the square in front of the portal gate of Haiyin Silk City, and not long after two narrow kayaks appeared at the edge of the square, a steward of the Prince's Mansion ran down from the kayak, and came to us quickly with a few servants, first saluted Ying Li and me, and said to us with a bitter face: "Princess Ying Li, Marquis of Jijia, please forgive me for being late, the tide in Haiyin Silk City has been a little unstable recently, and the water traffic in the city has become very bad, I know that this is not a reason to be late...... ”

Seeing that he couldn't stop talking, Ying Li had to interrupt him: "I sent you a message to prepare a ticket to Qiyan City, are you ready?"

The steward of the Prince's Mansion seemed a little verbose, and he was a little late to pick us up by boat, and when he heard Ying Li's question, he hurriedly approached Ying Li and said very humbly: "Your Royal Highness Princess." The magic airship is on standby at the airport dock and can set sail whenever you wish. ”

Ying Li glanced back at me, I originally planned to come to Haiyin Silk City this time, and then visit Uncle Fred and Sister Singh, and for the two sisters Annie and Su, Senior Sister Erica, Haiyin Silk City is still a strange city, I think they may want to take a stroll in this music city, although half a day can not enjoy the scenery of Haiyin Silk City, but at least they can see the most prosperous streets of Haiyin Silk City.

Sue, dressed in a priest's robe, stood by the dock, staring at the street made up of countless waterways in a daze, and Anne stood beside Sue in a red-colored salamander demon pattern armor, also attracted by this beautiful city.

I said to Ying Li: "Then let's go visit Uncle Fred first, so that Su, Sister Anne, and Senior Sister Erica can see the prosperity of Haiyinsi, and then go to the airport terminal in the afternoon." ”

Ying Li took me by the arm and said to the steward of the Prince's Palace, "Please take us to No. 75 Victory Harbor Street, we need to make a short stop in Haiyin Silk City, and then we will rush to Qiyan City." ”

The steward of the palace bent over, his clothes looked very smooth, and he said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, won't you stay in the palace for one night? ”

Haiyin Silk City especially likes to hold all kinds of dance parties, this is the second time I have come to Haiyin Silk City, and I have just arrived in Haiyin Silk City, and I received an invitation to the ball.

I knew that Ying Li was very disgusted with this kind of communicative ball, and sure enough, when she heard the palace steward say this, she immediately wrinkled her nose and refused with some displeasure: "Oh, I'm afraid not, this time our schedule is very tight, I don't want to waste time at the ballroom dance halfway." ”

After the palace steward ate Ying Li's closed door, he did not show embarrassment, but skillfully led everyone on the boat.

This long, pointy kayak is slender and long, and it only takes one boatman to paddle steadily and quickly through the waterways of Haiyin Silk City.

There is also a round arched canopy in the center of the kayak, Ying Li took the women into the canopy, changed the thick winter clothes into cool summer clothes, exposed skin to feel the warm sea breeze, the sea breeze blows soft long hair, as long as you lean over, you can touch the blue water, the sea water is very clear, you can even see the stone pillars under the buildings on both sides of the street deep into the bottom of the sea, some jellyfish float and sink in the sea, and there are hardly any fish in the waterway.

There are no traditional night watchmen in the city, but there is no shortage of city cleaners.

Compared with other cities, Haiyin Silk City needs more cleaning personnel to keep the city clean and tidy, and Haiyin Silk City also has a group of cleaners who specialize in removing shellfish growing on the underwater stone pillars and maintaining these stone pillars in the sea, they usually hold chisels and claw hammers in their hands, and each time they shout to dive under the sea surface with leather pipes to clean up all the shells attached to the stone pillars.

Along the way, the kayaks pass through a myriad of arched stone bridges of various shapes, and there are always enthusiastic Haiyinsi people beckoning to us on the bridges, and they can tell at a glance that we are strangers.

There are also stalls selling barbecue seafood on the street, one of the stalls is full of grilled octopus skewers, the aroma of seafood with a hint of salty smell seems to activate the taste buds of everyone on board, at the suggestion of Helena, we slowed down and docked next to this barbecue stall, in addition to the delicious grilled octopus skewers, the barbecue stall also has charcoal-grilled oysters, which are also very delicious.

Then we decided to separate here for a while, and Win Li and Caterina and I took a kayak to visit Uncle Fred.

Helena and Becky took the place of me and Ying Li to entertain Annie, Sue, and Erica, who were coming to Haiyin Silk City for the first time.

There are temporary docks every few distances next to the streets, and these small piers have stone steps jutting into the sea, and there are always groups of tanned, bare-fed children playing in the water next to the pier, and their favorite thing to do is to stand on a high place and jump into the sea, and then climb up to shore from the stone steps, and there will be some women next to the pier with laundry tubs, and they will use the water to wash their clothes.

There are public drinking areas everywhere in Haiyin Silk City, where there are stone troughs that collect water, and fresh water always flows out of the water pipes on the stone walls.

We made our kayak through the waterway, and as the steward of the palace said, when the kayak entered a busy water street, the waterway became a little congested, and the kayak had to slow down, and Caterina sat on the bow of the kayak, her legs on the edge of the side of the boat, and her feet just enough to reach into the water.

It was just noon when the dinghy arrived at Uncle Fred's leather shop, I jumped from the kayak onto the dock, and then helped Ying Li ashore, Caterina followed us, and the palace steward tried to follow, but Ying Li said 'you are waiting here' and left it in the dinghy.

I took Ying Li along the street after walking more than 100 meters, turned into the side of the diagonal street, Uncle Fred's house is here, the house facing the street is the leather shop, the door of the leather shop is hung with a half-body leather armor, the door seems very deserted, when we walked over, just saw a half-grown child out of the shop, he ran to the street with an iron bucket in his hand, skillfully threw the iron tong into the sea, and dragged the hemp rope with his hand, pulled up the iron tong full of seawater, and carried a bucket of sea water into the leather shop quickly.

Ying Li and I walked into Uncle Fred's tannery shop, and the half-grown boy had just poured seawater into the sink, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, and when he saw us coming in from outside, he stood up straight and asked me, "What do you need, two distinguished guests?"

It seems that this half-grown child has received a little simple practice, but he said it very jerky, and he should rarely use it.

I stood at the door of the leather shop and saw that there were some ordinary leather armor and some ordinary leather goods hanging in the shop, and I asked the half-grown child:

"I'm looking for Uncle Fred, is he there?"

The half-grown child scratched his shoulder with his hand with some embarrassment, turned his head and shouted inside:

"Boss, there are two guests out there looking for you!"

The footsteps sounded, and I saw Uncle Fred walking out of the room wearing a leather apron and a skinning knife in his hand, and then he saw us standing at the door of the leather shop, and immediately greeted us warmly and said:

"Ji Jia, Her Royal Highness Princess Yingli, why are you here?"

I walked up and hugged Uncle Fred and said:

"I happened to pass by Haiyin Silk City, so I came here to see how you and Sister Singh, Uncle Fred, are the business of the leather shop lately?"

Uncle Fred invited me to the reception room next to the tannery and, while telling the underage shop man he hired to go to the backyard and ask his eldest wife to make a pot of lemon tea, said to me:

"Thankfully, with your care, I now sew fishskin hoods every day, and this kind of hoods are also very popular among magicians in Haiyinsi, which is the main job in the leather shop, and of course there are occasional small businesses that come to the door, and now life is much better than before. ”

As he spoke, his eyes moistened a little, and he tapped his fist on his chest.

This is what the Knight of the North is accustomed to doing when facing the Barbarians, saying:

"Jijia, the gratitude in my heart is beyond words. ”

I felt a little ashamed to hear Uncle Fred say this, I could have made their lives better, and I said, "Uncle Fred, don't say that." Oh, by the way, did Sister Singh own a grocery store?"

I digressed from the subject.

Uncle Fred was slightly uplifted and said:

"Her shop is on the Champs-Ésés, and you can't imagine how popular those magic rune boards you sent are in Haiyin Silk City. ”

Uncle Fred knew that Katerina and I wanted to visit Sister Singh, so he asked the half-grown child in the shop to put down his work for a while, and took us to Sister Singh's grocery store, Uncle Fred said one thing less, that is, Sister Singh's grocery store was always crowded with customers, although Sister Singer hired two salesmen, but she was still very busy, she needed to take the trouble to introduce products to customers, and finally had to start a more protracted tug-of-war on price。

Sister Singh was very happy to see us, she first saluted Princess Yingli, and then hugged Katerina fiercely outside the grocery store, she shouted loudly: "Katarina, I am really happy that you can come to see me......"

She excitedly introduced me to this small grocery store, her face was full of accomplishment, she was the kind of woman who would feel very satisfied when she had a little happiness, and her optimistic spirit was easily contagious to those around her.

And I didn't expect that copper hot pot would be more popular in Haiyin Silk City than in Dì Dū.

Then Sister Singh told us the reason, Haiyin Silk City is a water city, the charcoal and firewood needed for the daily life of the residents in the city are transported from the side of the Fewen Bordora Mountain by sea boat, and now there is a copper hot pot, many aristocratic families have replaced this new cooking utensils, and people in the city like to use this pot to cook seafood.

The South Wind Legion continues to hear the news of victories, most of the knights of the South Wind Legion are from Haiyin Silk City and the surrounding area, and the soldiers receive a military salary of shiny silver coins, but the reward is a large number of magic crystal fragments, and the continuous victories make the magic crystal fragments of Haiyin Silk City cheaper than anywhere else, so it is cheaper to use copper hot pot in Haiyin Silk City than to burn charcoal.

It is for this reason that the copper hot pot has become popular in Haiyin Silk City in just two months.
