Chapter 9: The Shark Cave
When Abaylou and the young man arrived at the place given by the mission, the waves of the sea slowly crashed against the sand, without the slightest clue.
The mercenary's duty is to accomplish this kind of clueless work.
The young man, who calls himself Fishtail, said that his swimming skills were comparable to that of a sea fish, and that he was the best swimmer in town, and that he could hold his breath in the sea for more than three minutes. Abaylou didn't think he was bragging, this young man did have extraordinary qualities - a slender body, strong arms, and steady breathing.
"Hey, there's nothing here, what's the idea, this kind of task is too troublesome. Fishtail complained.
Abay Lou ignored him, but walked to the rock wall next to him, knocked on the rock wall, and the fishtail also chased after him, looking at the nervous Abay Lou.
"I heard there's an underwater cave here, and you have to swim under the surface of the water to get there?" Abay asked.
"Yes, but I've heard of sharks, and every year fishermen around here are eaten by sharks. Fishtail replied, "I haven't seen that cave either, but I've heard of it, and I don't know where it is." ”
Abay Lou simply answered, left the beach, turned to go up to the top of the rock wall, and looked down, there was a place where the color of the sea was very dark, because it was noon, the sea was not deep, and the sun could pass through the bottom of the sea.
There were indeed sharks, and Abaylou saw four or five sharks swimming near a rock.
Abay Lou could have entered directly by brute force, but now it can't.
On the one hand, Abaylou did not dare to use his strength at will because of his soul disease, and on the other hand, this ragged clothes ...... If he meets a shark, he may be naked.
"The cave is fifteen meters below that direction, very close, but unfortunately there are sharks, so there is no way to go down and see it directly. He said.
Fishtail stared at it for a long time and didn't see why, at such a distance, he couldn't see anything under the water, "There must be a limit to big words, you can't see anything here." ”
"Then you can see for yourself. Abaylou frowned, he didn't like this young man who didn't like to play mercenary games.
Fish tail couldn't stand Abaylou's agitation, jumped into the sea, swam to a place of more than ten meters and began to dive.
Half a minute after entering the water, Fishtail swam back with a pale face, and the shadow of a shark chased after him.
Frightened, he went ashore and patted his chest, "There are really sharks, I happened to see three sharks after I went down......" and then complained angrily to Abayr: "You know there are sharks, why don't you stop me, I was almost overtaken, bastard." ”
It's unreasonable, and you have said all the good and bad things.
Abaylou didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Sharks... Abaylou touched his chin and thought for a moment, as we all know, sharks have a very sensitive sense of smell, and the smell of blood for several kilometers can be caught by them. There were no eaten corpses under the surface of the sea, and there were so many sharks gathered in this shallow water, and it was clear that the sharks were lured to come.
With a clue, Abay Lou was not in a hurry, so he said to Fishtail: "Don't be in a hurry, come back in the evening." ”
Because there were no clues, Fishtail didn't want to continue to do it for a long time, and now that Abailou said this, how could he not agree.
There wasn't necessarily anything to come at night, and Fishtail didn't think things would be that simple.
Abay Lou didn't say much, turned around and went to get a pile of firewood, he saw that the fishtail was stunned and didn't move, "Aren't you still leaving?"
"You're... Do you want to eat from here, and don't go back to the hotel?" asked Uoo.
Of course I want to go back to the hotel, but I don't have the money.
"As a mercenary, my duty is to work tirelessly to complete my employer's tasks. Abailou said as if he had something to do, but he didn't expect that what he said would make Fishtail excited, "Yes, you're right, mercenaries should be like this, as the number one mercenary in the town, I found that I was too inflated, and I have to wait here with you." ”
Abay Lou: ......
Originally, he wanted to take a quiet rest, but the fishtail came in so that Abailou had to listen to the kid's chatter all afternoon. When it was time for dinner, Abay took off his clothes on the cliff wall, leaving only a pair of underwear.
Fishtail said excitedly: "Is there any news?" ”
"No, I just wanted to catch a few fish. ”
"Why don't you call me when you catch fish, you forget that I am an expert in the sea, look at me. Fishtail came to Abailou's side noisily and saw Abailou's scars all over his body: "Why do you have so many scars...... Are you from the battlefield? It's so handsome, men just have to have scars, and I want to join the army...... Eh, wait for me. Then he jumped into the sea after Abaylou.
After more than ten minutes, the fish tail pinched two small arm-length fish in his hands and walked ashore, "Big harvest, big harvest......
Uh, how did this guy do that.
Because Abailou was already roasting a half-sized herring, probably freshly roasted, the smoke was thick, and the firewood was crackling.
Fishtail looked at the two small fish in his hand, of course, compared to the fish of Abayr, and was really embarrassed.
"Come and eat together. Abaylou said to him.
"You're in luck today. Fishtail let go of the two little fish, and ran to Abay to sit on the ground.
Because the fish is relatively large, this fish was grilled for more than an hour, during which Abailou continued to cut the fish body with stones, the fat meat was grilled and fragrant, as the fish of the sea, the herring itself is quite a good ingredient, the spines are less and the meat is thick and delicate, it is the special fish for banquets respected by many nobles.
Finally, after tasting the fish, Abaylou said in the expectant gaze of the fishtail, "It's ready to eat." ”
It's a mouthful, this is the first thing that the fish tail thinks about when he gets the fish, and then when he eats the first bite, "It's so delicious!"
How can it be so delicious! This guy obviously didn't put anything, it was just a simple grill, it must be the reason why herring is a high-end ingredient, yes.
Abaylou couldn't help but smile when he saw his crazy stuffing of fish and meat, it seems that his cooking skills have not fallen behind in the few years he has been in Abduby.
Compared to the fishtail, Abailou ate unhurriedly, until the back, in fact, Abailou ate one-third of the fish alone.
"Oops, full. Fishtail patted his stomach.
Abay Lou silenced him, looking at the moonlit sea, it was a little dark, but he could see a human head floating in the sea, I have to say that it was really weird.
The head of the man is getting closer and closer to the shore until the head of the man is ashore. He must be the fisherman's son, Abaylou thought to himself, so he took a few steps and took a step, grabbing the young man's arm before he could react.
"Eric?"
Eric was startled, and turned his head to see the elusive Abay Lou, "Who are you?"
"I'm a mercenary hired by your father to find your whereabouts, will you go with me or will you be tied up by me and then gone?"
Eric wanted to break free from Abayr, but Abayr's strength was too great, and pleaded: "Please, don't take me back...... I have something very important to ......"
"Give me a reason. Abaylou was unmoved.
Eric looked at the fish on the campfire, made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then can you give me the rest of the fish ......?"
"Yes. ”
"Actually, I saved a mermaid. Eric said.
Although Abaylou did guess what this kid was hiding, he didn't expect it to be a mermaid.
"You mean you're going to give the fish to the mermaids?" asked Abaylou a little strangely, the only one who knew that mermaids don't eat the flesh of sea creatures.
It must not be a mermaid, is it...
"I'm going to go with you to see it. Abaylou said that Eric couldn't refuse at all, so he had to agree, and there was a fishtail with him.
With the half of the fish in his arms, Eric swam into the cave with Abaylou and the tail of the fish, and the sharks were gone. Abyrine saw the light of the torches in the water, and when his head poked out of the water, he heard a hissing sound.
"Food ......"
Really...... It's this race.
Abaylou has been determined.
Fishtail exclaimed, "There really are mermaids! Oh my God! I thought it was just a story." ”
