Chapter 152: The Lucky One Blessed by the Sea God (Three Watches)
To the east of Morente, near the ocean, there is an ordinary fishing village called Benson Town.
Originally, it was the domain of the Benson family, the domain of a baron, but this family was scarce, and in the end, it completely broke off the inheritance and disappeared decades ago.
The town left the noble lord, and the previous peace was restored, and a group of ordinary fishermen lived in this small place without a quarrel, occasionally going to the distant big city to sell pearls and other treasures.
In the afternoon of this day, old Evan took his granddaughter to the beach habitually, and after the tide passed, all kinds of treasures remained on the beach.
Now that old Evan is getting older and older, he can no longer go to sea like before, so he can only pick up some ready-made fish on the shore, and do some chores such as sewing fishing nets by the way, which can also make his grandfather and grandson eat and wear.
"Grandpa, grandpa, look what's over there!" Jasmine, a little girl who had just turned ten, suddenly shouted loudly.
"What?" Old Evan looked at his granddaughter suspiciously, and saw a large lump of things lying on the beach in the distance, lying there motionless.
He was happy in his heart, as an old fisherman who had lived by the sea all his life, he knew that sometimes some sea monsters would accidentally rush ashore in order to hunt prey in the coastal waters, and they would never be able to go back.
This kind of prey is a great fortune for them, not to mention that they haven't seen it when they come in the morning, and it is obviously fresh after they have just come ashore.
The two hurried over to see what kind of beast it was.
When they got closer, they realized that the giant beast was ten meters long, covered in a thick layer of scale armor, lying there motionless.
"What kind of monster is this?" Old Evan hadn't seen anything like it in decades of his life, and the more he looked at it, the more he suspected that the other party wasn't a sea creature at all, a bit like those guys who were drilling around in the dirt.
But it was also a windfall, he told his granddaughter to run back to call someone, and he stayed here, which was regarded as a wealth he had discovered.
With such a huge monster, there is no way to drag it back close to their grandfather and grandson, and it will be enough to give half of it to those who help when the time comes.
After a while, most of the people in the fishing village rushed to hear the news, and they all circled around the giant beast in amazement.
"Hey, hey. Old Evan, this thing looks valuable, and when the time comes to sell it at the market, you should treat the big guy to a drink! The middle-aged man with his beard dragged to his chest said with a big grin, licking his lips as he spoke, as if he was hooked by the wine worm in his stomach.
The people in the fishing village have been together for many years, and they have long been like a family, so naturally there will be nothing to do with money.
Old Evan understands the world very well, and the wrinkles on his face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he said loudly: "It must be certain, everyone will have a part when the time comes!" ”
After confirming that the other party was completely dead, the village chief who was elected by everyone began to command: "Okay, the big guys work hard, turn it over, put a rope on it and pull it to the village first." ”
Two dozen adults strained to turn the huge monster over and put ropes on it.
Then, little by little, he put it on the largest carriage in the fishing village, and mobilized five oxen to pull it to the fishing village.
This giant beast weighs several tons, and the meat dug up alone is enough for the whole village to eat for half a year.
When they started dissecting, they had a problem – they couldn't cut at all!
Even the sharpest machete couldn't cut through the scales of the opponent, and the scales of this giant beast were as if they were made of steel, and they couldn't pull off one of them with all their might!
"Oh my God, what the hell killed such a powerful monster?" A group of people began to feel fear, with such a powerful monster, but its body was covered with wounds, and the scales were shattered.
Even the shattered scales are completely impossible to dig out, and the sharp boning knife can't even pierce the tender flesh inside the other party!
"Let's open its mouth first and see if we can start working from the inside." Old Evan quietly proposed.
Then, little by little, the iron rod was plunged into each other's long mouths, and a group of people pried it open.
"Wow, there's a guy in his mouth!"
It didn't matter if it was opened, the monster's mouth startled the crowd because there was a person lying inside.
A handsome young man with long silver-white hair.
Although lying in the monster's huge mouth, the other party did not have any injuries on his body, as if the monster was completely dead as soon as it was swallowed.
"Oh my God, he's still alive!" Someone saw the other party's abdomen rising and falling slightly, and suddenly exclaimed.
"This person is so lucky, he didn't die after being swallowed in one bite, this must be the blessing of the sea god!"
"Poseidon is above!"
A group of people felt as if a miracle had come and began to pray.
There is also faith in this world, and as the saying goes, water is draught.
They live by the sea, they deal with the sea all the time, and every time they go to sea, there is a terrible crisis, and they naturally establish a faith.
This is the origin of the sea god, who is regarded as a guardian deity by them, and prays sincerely every time he goes out to sea.
"Hurry up, hurry up, pull him out, this person must enjoy the blessing of the sea god and have incredible luck." Village Chief Alva said hurriedly.
A group of people reacted, and two strong men walked over, ignoring the choking smell in the monster's mouth, and carefully lifted the people inside out.
Old Evan knew a little bit of medical skills, examined him, and said tremblingly: "This person seems to be fine, it seems that he is just choking on water and unconscious!" ”
"Oh my God, this must be the blessing of the sea god!" A group of people exclaimed, completely taking each other's survival as a miracle.
Isn't it a miracle for a mortal to be swallowed by such a terrifying beast and not die?
Then, at the strong request of old Evan, the lucky man who enjoyed the blessing of the sea god was carried to old Evan's house.
In his words, he just wants to follow the luck.
But the lucky man slept for days without waking up, leaving the village with a lot less visitors.
After five days of waiting, the carcass of the giant beast finally softened a lot, and they used various weapons to cut it off, scraping off all the scales.
This thing was harder than steel, and every house had some left behind to be used to make shields and armor and the like.
The rest was sold in the city, and fortunately some big merchants took a fancy to it in exchange for a lot of wealth.
The flesh and blood of the monster emitted a strong stench, and after someone tasted a little, he suddenly fell into a heavy coma.
They didn't dare to sell it, so they dug up a lot of land and threw it in, intending to dig up the bones when the flesh was rotten.
After seven days of sleep, the lucky one who enjoyed the blessing of the sea god finally opened his eyes!
