Chapter 105: The Return of Idores
The unique sea city of Idoris was like a seclusion, and the strife outside didn't make much of a difference.
The last time Cassia came here, he hired Captain Pete to go to the South Continent as an adventurer.
And this time, he had not only changed his outfit, but also his face, his strong physique and rugged face, and the smell of sea salt all over his body, and if no one pointed it out, it would not be wrong to say that he was a native of Idores.
He bought a two-story shop in a neighborhood near the sea, with the upper floor for residential use and a seafood barbecue on the lower floor.
Today, Cassia got up early in the morning as usual, packed up his things, and sat by the window to make a cup of tea.
Through the clear glass, you can not only see the people coming and going on the street, but also the boundless sea outside the harbor, and the lively atmosphere and the warm sea breeze make people feel the smoke of war in Hokuriku.
Six years had passed since Ronor's ascension to the throne, and with the help of a duchess, Ferranch had established himself in the South, started his own business, and even gathered his own legions.
Although the other dukes hated each other, the duchess insisted that this legion of poor people belonged to her and had nothing to do with Ferranche.
But who didn't know that the direct leader of the legion was Ferranche, but because of the fear of the strength of the northern Rono, several dukes still swallowed the fruit.
Ferranche's development in the South was smooth, and Winston, the inventor of glass, moved his family to the South, where the alchemist-obsessed scholar worked tirelessly to update the technology.
For example, the current window, Cassia knocked lightly, whether it is hardness or purity, it is almost exactly the same as the real world, the only difference is that the production process here is more cumbersome, but this is a normal phenomenon of backward hardware technology.
In the Church of Light, under Alena's will, the church still chose not to help each other and did not move.
Sophia was attacked in Honoris and returned to Tria to recuperate at the cost of the bones of the only six remaining Tsing Yi Bishops of the Aeolian Church.
Without the sorcerers of the Aeolis system, Ferrante's knights fought and won every battle, capturing a large part of the territory of Honoris.
However, he did not recognize the captured territories as belonging to Kayadir, and refused to allow any Keadir legions and nobles to enter except for the people of the Church of Light.
It's like a vicious tiger returning to the mountain, carving out a territory for himself.
Light Pope Alena ignored this, as if she hadn't seen it.
This is the temporary situation in Hokuriku, like a volcano under calm waters, which looks calm but can erupt at any time.
And Cassia came to Idoris for a simple purpose, Poseidon Faith!
He couldn't let so much of his faith power go to waste, so it was necessary to build a new vest.
Cassia put down his teacup and closed his notebook about the design of the Poseidon Divine Technique.
In the past few years, he has gradually matured, although the body on the outside is still very young, his mental age is no longer a young man.
Over the years, in addition to learning how to enjoy life, he is also learning how to be a good god, so if he usually has time, he will also reply to some believers' prayers that are not excessive, of course, it will not be the real body, for example, if someone prays for a good crop this year, he will rain a little more, or the sun will be a little more sunny.
These replies are more in terms of luck, but for the believer, if he prays to the gods and gets good results, then this is the favor of the gods.
There is a reward for what you give, and this is clear to the Cassia as evidenced by the purer power of faith.
Emptying the remaining tea leaves from the cup, Cassia got up and walked out of the house, heading towards the harbor.
As the owner of a barbecue stand, he must ensure that he has fresh ingredients every day.
So every day, Cassia would personally go to the port to inspect the seafood he ordered.
"Hey, Imo, it's so early today. A captain said hello.
Cassia smiled heartily: "Of course, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the fresh seafood." ”
"You should trust my Imo, I will definitely save you the freshest. ”
"No, you'll just save the freshest for gold. ”
"Hahaha, seriously, you're more of a captain than I am, maybe you need a first mate, I mean someone who can take care of the barbecue stall. ”
Cassia shook his head: "Then I'm more worried about my gold coins." ”
The two sides joked with each other, for a while like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and for a while like old rivals who calculated each other at the business table.
After a brief inspection, Cassia selected five or six baskets of fresh seafood and hired a sailor to help deliver them to the shop, while he turned around and went to the tavern, intending to have two drinks.
In appearance, he is now five big and three thick, with light blue hair, like an adult sea lion.
With such a body type and a hearty personality, it is natural to mingle with many sailors in the tavern.
"A glass of fruit wine. Cassia slapped a silver coin on the table, startling the bartender with great strength.
The bartender smiled and took a glass of fruit wine when he saw the comer, and then happily swept away the silver coin.
Cassia sat down in a corner with his wine glass, the same tavern where he had met Brandi and Captain Pete, and the original bartender had taken Captain Pete away to feed the fish on his first day when he returned from the Southern Continent.
As for Captain Pete and his Tiger Shark, they had been gone to Idoris for a long time, and apart from Cassia who remembered them, there was only one person left, still searching for their traces.
The tavern door was pushed open again, and Cassia glanced at the door as he sipped ale.
An old woman in a somewhat fat blue coat walked into the tavern, followed by two strong men, as if to protect her.
Such a strange combination naturally attracts the attention of many people, but most people are used to it, even the bartender.
Seeing the arrival of the old woman, the bartender hurriedly took a glass of fruit wine and gently placed it on the counter.
The old woman walked to the counter and sat down, and the strong man behind her flicked a gold coin, and the bartender smiled from ear to ear.
Since last year, the old woman has come every two months to order a glass of fruit wine and a gold coin each time.
At first, there will be people who don't know each other and want to make a move on the old woman, or take advantage of the departure to follow them out, but the next day the bartender never sees those people again.
Over time, naturally no one will pay attention to her anymore, gold coins are important in the sea, and life is important on the shore.
Cassia's glass of fruit wine was quickly drunk, he got up and took another glass, and then left here with the glass, he had to go back to deal with the seafood, usually at noon, the barbecue restaurant was about to open.
After Cassia left, the tavern was still lively, and the old woman sat for a day with a glass of fruit wine under the protection of the strong man, but for the sake of the face of the gold coin, the bartender did not have any dissatisfaction.
In the evening, the old woman left the tavern and came to Cassia's barbecue stand.
"Boss, old rules. The strong man behind him shouted.
"Okay, it's just squid, just wait a little longer, I saw you in the tavern in the morning, so I'll come back early to prepare. ”
Cassia smiled and roasted fresh squid while sprinkling it with a secret training.
In the end, the old woman and the strong man almost took Cassia with him a basket of seafood.
Cassia wiped his hands with a towel, picked up the unfinished fruit wine and drank it in one sip, looked at the old woman's rickety back, and shook his head gently: "Idiot......"
After leaving, the old woman and the strong man did not linger much in Idoris, and with the freshly grilled barbecue, the three of them walked to the harbor, boarded a small battered fishing boat, and sailed towards the deep sea.
