Chapter 250: The Vanishing Behemoth
Kenrin Sakura stood on the dock, patiently listening to the explanation of what happened that day.
From the beginning of the accident to the time she rushed over, more than a day had passed. Originally, it would take three days to travel from Monluo City to Yunmenggang, but after receiving the news, Jian Rin Sakura rushed over.
Although she usually doesn't have much sleep time to deal with state affairs, it is the first time since she ascended the throne that she has encountered such an emergency situation.
Her Majesty's presence attracted a lot of onlookers.
Under the gloomy sky, the blue imperial dress she wore and the moon-shaped crown on her head stood out.
The sea breeze whipped her long hair, revealing her perfect side face.
"Is that His Majesty Kenrin Sakura?" Someone exclaimed quietly.
"Yes, real people are much better looking than in the Qiankun mirror."
And the momentum emanating from her body makes people feel an indescribable sense of oppression.
This is what the sword Rin Sakura who was a swordsman didn't have at the beginning, the spirit of a king.
Kenrin Sakura's long eyelashes were covered like two leaves, and she didn't care about the gaze of these people, just carefully observed and pondered.
"So, when you hit it, there wasn't a single live fish, it was all bones, right?"
"Yes. Your Majesty. The middle-aged captain in front of him nodded, looking honest and reliable.
"Can you show me there?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Captain Xu Haoxiang saluted respectfully and led her onto his fishing boat.
This is a large ship about 30 meters long and about 10 meters wide, due to perennial fishing, there are some fish blood stains on the deck that cannot be washed off, and the whole ship is filled with the smell of fishy fish and salty sea breeze.
In a corner, the scene from a day ago is preserved-
The nets are littered with tattered debris and garbage, and in them are buried fish bones of varying thickness, looking like leftovers from those big restaurants.
"What do you think is causing this?"
Although Jian Rin Sakura had several different guesses in her heart, she still wanted to hear Xu Haoxiang's explanation, after all, as an old captain, the other party had a lot of experience that she didn't have.
"Judging from the tooth marks on the fish bones and the cracks on the bones of some large fish, I think it may have been eaten by something," Xu Haoxiang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jian Rin Sakura's eyes.
The other party's soft eyes motioned for him to continue.
"But I've been out at sea for decades, and I haven't seen anything like this, and I haven't heard of a fish that can eat it from a net in a short period of time, so I don't know what's going on."
Ken Rin Sakura nodded, but did not speak.
At this moment, the minister beside her leaned over and whispered, "By the way, Your Majesty, there is another person who claims to have seen strange sea beasts, do you want him to come too?" ”
……
When Zhang Yuanfang was taken to the boat, he still felt like a dream.
Summoned by the new emperor, but he had never had the luxury of expecting something in his life, approaching Her Majesty the Empress so close made him a little excited and afraid.
Zhang Yuanfang kept his head down, not daring to look at her, his brain was blank, and it seemed that he couldn't hear all the sounds around him, until the other party hooked his chin with a soft hand, and he came back to his senses.
"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid." Kenrin Sakura's beautiful smiling face met his eyes, "Tell me about the situation you encountered at that time." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Yuanfang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, recalling what had happened at that time.
"I remember it was more than seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was still bright, I was fishing in the northeast of Yunmenggang, and then I met the old Li Tou of the same village, we talked for a while, and we were ready to find a place to fish, who knew that when I drove the boat away, a black guy jumped out of the sea, it was very huge, almost half of my hull look. I was frightened, I only remember a sword flash, when I came back to my senses, the thing had been injured and jumped back into the sea, it was the young girl on the boat of Lao Li Tou, if she hadn't reacted in time and rescued her, I really don't know what would have happened. ”
"I think I've seen the black guy he said just now, I've seen it once before."
A hand was weakly stretched out from among the ship's seamen.
"I remember seeing something like this at the beach a month ago, when they were eating fish. It looks like a black shadow, and it's hard to describe the feeling, except that when the fish pass by, it suddenly disappears. But I was too scared to take a closer look. And it hasn't been seen since. ”
Kenrin Sakura looked at him suspiciously.
There are many contradictions in what these people said, and Jian Rin Sakura's preliminary judgment is that they are talking about different things, otherwise there is no way to explain.
Xu Haoxiang, as the captain of the ship, has many years of fishing experience, and judging from his mesh, it is impossible to let go of such a huge monster when it is impossible to salvage.
But it's also strange that fish bones are piled up in fishing nets, and they don't look like they've been piled up over years, unless the nets sink on their own, digging up the uncorrupted garbage from the bottom of the sea.
But this is clearly unlikely.
Jian Rin Sakura will follow Xu Haoxiang's explanation that the fish was gnawed clean in the net.
So to be able to do this in a short time, and still be able to escape from the net without breaking the net, the guys who obviously eat fish are much smaller, at least smaller than the mesh.
In the end, the crew member said something strange, but it was also more in line with what was seen at the scene.
If this kind of thing happens a few more times, I am afraid it will bring a lot of blows to the Dream Sword Country, and if there is a food crisis......
Kenrin Sakura shook her head, not daring to think about it any further.
"Understood, you don't make a noise about this matter, the less people know, the better, understand?"
Everyone looked at each other, then nodded.
A sense of foreboding appeared in Kenrin Sakura's heart, and at the same time, a young face appeared in her mind.
……
Emiya's stomach growled, and when he looked up, he realized that it was time to eat.
He stretched his waist a lot, this time really tired him enough, on the one hand, he was deploying the plan of the chain store, and on the other hand, he had to take Cui Xiaoxiao's work, and he was exhausted by attending her classes.
"Xinlang? I am hungry. He shouted.
The room was empty, and no one responded.
"Xinlang?" He screamed again.
The door of the room was pushed open by a small hand, and out of it came a little girl who was only as tall as his chest.
Cui Xiaoxiao clasped her hands, leaned against the door, and looked at him with a look of doubt and contempt.
Wei Gong called a few times but no one answered, and when he saw Cui Xiaoxiao's eyes, he remembered that Xin Lang had been sent to the Heavenly Sword Kingdom by him.
It's a pity that there is no mouth blessing from now on.
"What's that look on your face?"
"I just think we're going to be hungry, and people get worse when they're hungry, don't you know?" Cui Xiaoxiao angrily took a chair from the side, and then took it and put it under the [refrigerator] on the side.
She opened the door and rummaged through it, her eyes showing a look of disappointment.
Xin Lang was not there, and there was no one at home to replenish food, and there were only a few imperial snake fruits left in the refrigerator.
She picked one up with her thin, thin fingers, then frowned.
"When it's time for dinner, are we going to starve to death?"
“……”
"You damn girl, have you forgotten who cooked for you before?! Before Xin Lang came, didn't I keep raising you? ”
"Hey." Cui Xiaoxiao let out a sigh, then got down from the stool and said to herself, "Braised squirrel fish in oil, shrimp rolls with cream, chopped pepper king crab......"
"Alright, I'll take you down to the restaurant."
