Seeing that the two didn't have any opinions, Connicks briefly introduced the local situation:

"The settlements of Neopolis Island are concentrated in the port and urban area, as well as in the nearby town of Heura. To the west of the island there are large farms, pastures and woodlands, and there are a few smaller towns dotted around with travellers and herders.

"The local garrison knight took a team of Extraordinary Ones to an island in the Broken Sea to carry out a mission, and the only Extraordinary Ones left here are two of us who are stationed here, except for the three of us.

"The main stronghold of the Extraordinary is the Mage Tower in the city, but there will be a daily presence at the nearby Sheng'en Church in Hepu Town, which is a crowded tourist attraction, and we will gather there tomorrow at 8 a.m. to announce something to everyone. ”

......

"Arrogant fellow, this is only a Sequence 7 at his age," Amber clasped his hands over his chest after the examination, "he must be bald under his hood!"

"Status is not determined by sequence, but more by ability and contribution to His Majesty the King. Griffith defended the resident mage, "And Sequence 7 is already powerful. ”

"I'm sure if the Dark Arts object is found on the ship, the Master Mage stationed there will definitely write about his contributions and the dangers he has taken on in the report!" Amber continued to grumble, "and he's going to be generous enough to skip the fact that we're more than a hundred miles away. ”

"That's good, we don't have to risk going deep into the dirty, dark cargo hold," Griffith relaxed and pointed to a restaurant on a street outside the port, "Shall we have lunch together?" ”

"Good, good!" Amber followed, "Are you well paid?"

"A monthly salary of 100 silver francs and a subsidy of 10 silver francs, and 50 silver francs after promotion sequence 8," Griffith took out a pamphlet and looked at it.

"It's not much, we just need to eat a little, and we can't spend money indiscriminately. Amber said seriously, "What is the pamphlet about?"

"How to travel to Neopolis Island, I was born locally, but I haven't been back for a long time, and it's a popular vacation spot in the kingdom right now," Griffith looked at a shop that sold sashimi, "This one looks good." ”

Not far from the Minato, this street is lined with signs of sashimi and tuna, as well as various seaweeds, scallops, trout and eels in prominent places. In front of each store was a huge fish head, and Griffith gestured at it, thinking that the big fish would definitely eat themselves in one bite while they were alive.

Tourists who disembark from the boat go straight to these shops, and it seems that they have been prepared for a long time, and they are rushing to eat.

"I'm okay with that, free food is the tastiest," Amber said she was looking for a place to sit. People here eat whole raw fish! Wow, it's expensive!"

"All the catch comes from the deep sea in the western part of the Broken Sea?" the boys bring the freshest food every morning, and the biggest one is going to be auctioned!" Yesterday there was a bluefin tuna that fetched a whopping 4,000 silver francs!"

"Did you add an extra zero!" the blonde girl shouted in surprise, "Did you catch the legendary creatures and eat them!?"

"That's a fair price? The boys who run the boat are paid at least three or four silver a day? The shopkeeper gestured to a large fish head in his shop.

"What's the concept?" Amber glanced at Griffith.

"The average stevedore and builder earns only a few sousels a day," Griffith explains, "and the sailors earn twice as much, and it costs a lot to go out to sea to fish." ”

"No, if you can't catch good fish, boats, and people, you have to spend money, and your daily expenses are like flowing water. Some outlaws dare to sail into the deep sea in order to make money. ”

"There's a lot of fish there?"

"Of course, it's not just fish," the shopkeeper lowered his voice. There were never-ending waves, strange shadows under the surface of the sea, and strange things beyond common sense. ”

"Someone has been attacked?" Griffith immediately sat up straight.

"Maybe there is, maybe not? If those things do appear, it's a sure death. But the people who don't come back may not end up encountering these strange things, the wreckage of the fishing boat being blown back to shore, it looks like they've been torn apart by a storm, and they're drowning in the sea. ”

The two were served fresh tuna and trout. The thick fillet is spread on the ice, and the crystalline texture is fascinating, and the meat is extremely elastic.

"Please enjoy it with soy sauce and wasabi. ”

"Where did the ice come from?" Griffith found an interesting place, "Is there an ice store on this island?"

"Yes, but the ice is brought from the high mountains of the west and south, and there is nothing but ice in those poor places," said the shopkeeper, who was very knowledgeable, "and the workers chiseled thick pieces of ice with ice axes, sawed them into strips, and then carried them on rafts to the harbor below the mountains for loading. ”

"Just ice as cargo?"

"Not really! They sold ice here and in other big cities, and then they went back in exchange for food, fish, and other things. Many families now pile ice cubes in the cellar to chill milk and drinks, and it is excellent to preserve food. ”

Valuable capacity......

Is Bayerland's capacity already so abundant? Griffith was surprised. In the East, the transportation of military rations, equipment and personnel has been tight, but it was not long after the end of the war that the sea transport capacity was ready to be used to transport ice.

"The ice trade has been going on for a long time, and the ice to Bayeran and other places has not been broken during the previous war, and there were naval battles at that time. The shopkeeper added.

No wonder capacity is tight. Griffith's teeth itched.

"Woo~!" Amber suddenly let out a wonderful moan, "This yusheng is really delicious and bone-eating!"

"Not really!" said the shopkeeper, triumphantly walking away, to greet the other guests.

Amber topped the fish with soy sauce and wasabi, covered it with the sparkling rice and swallowed it in one gulp.

"It's so full, and it's not greasy!" Amber exclaimed, and then suddenly remembered something, "That's right, Perrin and Hakan have asked me to thank you, and welcome you to Pasha, and we will entertain you well." ”

After the battle of the Whispering Forest collapsed, one of them fled the same way, and the other jumped off the cliff directly. Griffith had thought they had met with misfortune. Now it seems that both of them must have kept a hand.

"Pella has publicized your heroic deeds several times," Amber praised with her hand on her cheek, "and though you are not as crazy as she suggests, you are braver and more powerful. ”

At that time, my sanity was almost evaporated, and I didn't know what Pera was talking about. Griffith smiled awkwardly twice and asked, "By the way, is Squadron Leader Valkyrie coming to this island?" I mean, if there's a follow-up mission." ”

"Are you looking down on me?"

"No, no, no. Griffith hurriedly argued.

Amber snorted lightly and said:

"There are only a limited number of transcendents above Sequence 6, and there are so many events that need to be investigated. Once the action is taken, it is very difficult to keep the intelligence secret, and without them in charge, it is easy to expose flaws at important nodes and attract attacks.

"And the more powerful the Extraordinary, the more noticeable the psionic ripples become. Their movements are easily detected by prophecy and divination. Therefore, the first to strike are all extraordinary people like us below Sequence 7. The transcendent one who strikes first is likely to lose the upper hand. ”

So that's the case, the high-level combat power of the various forces has actually formed a situation of redemption.

"Makes sense, but what if things get big and reinforcements don't get in time?"

"No, most of the mage towers stationed in the core area have teleportation arrays, and reinforcements can be made at any cost when necessary, and after the completion of the Great Astrology Tower, all places are being debugged," Amber didn't care, "If there are no places in some places, it means that it is not important there, and it can be done by slowly sending out garrisons." ”

"It would be nice if there were more low-level Extraordinaires," Griffith said, chewing on Yusheng, "From the Kingdom's point of view, extraordinary traits and potions aren't that expensive, so there should be more manpower." ”

"It's impossible, this kind of question is also asked by you lawbreakers. ”

Amber waved her hand very inappropriately:

"Beginner potions are not expensive for the wealthy class, and many merchants want to train their children to become extraordinary.

"However, there is a high probability that ordinary people will not be able to adapt to potions, and even the lowest level potions contain madness. Every year, many, many people want to ask for a future, or want to rely on the power of extraordinary properties to heal diseases, drink potions bought on the black market and become monsters, and finally become a witcher's business.

"This kind of thing happens a lot in our southern border, which is why the beacons are set up there. If you have the opportunity to come to our academy to communicate, it will definitely refresh your world view!

"Without the corresponding talent, sufficient training and learning, trying to change your life with a bottle of potion will most likely end in tragedy. In the end, it is the heirs of the extraordinary family who become the new extraordinary, and the official has always been very strict about this kind of thing. ”

......

The meal cost Griffith 2 silver lang 10 su, and since he was sent by the squadron leader, he felt that he had to treat him well.

Griffith settled the bill, casually slung his rucksack over his shoulder.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Amber asked hurriedly when he saw the midshipman leaving, "I'm going to report to the Marine Research Center in Minato, and then I'll take a week to return on the ship, and we can hang out together if we have time!"

"We're supposed to be on the same boat on our way back, and I'll go to the nearby Echo Hub to see if there's any letter from the Squadron Leader," Griffith said, "My uncle, Dr. Zion, lives with her daughter in the town of Hepu not far from here, and I'm going to spend the night at their house for a few days." You're welcome to come and visit!"

"Yes!" Amber tiptoed happily, "tell me the address!"
