Chapter 3: The Water Vine Ghost

The ship sailed alone in the deep blue sea, and the cool sea breeze blew on the deck, which was indescribably refreshing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Sailors sit on benches on the edge of the deck, facing the salty and humid sea breeze in the air, carrying fishing rods towards the deep sea, and there is indescribable leisure under the sun.

As a new member, the Messiah was also bored fishing with them, watching them talk and tell all kinds of interesting stories about the sea, but it was this sentence that aroused Messiah's interest.

"This is a great harvest! According to the custom, we can return to the voyage!" spoke to the person in charge of teaching the Messiah, a young man named Missithe.

"Master Missit, aren't we going to do a second fish?" the Messiah asked in a slightly confused tone.

Messiah looked at the playful conversation of the sailors around him, and was a little puzzled, "We've been out to sea for a whole month this time, and we've only laid the net this time...."

"Messiah, you are going to sea for the first time, fishing and hunting in the deep sea, and you don't even know the most basic common sense!"

A voice came from behind the Messiah, followed by a tap on the shoulder. Turning his head, he saw that it was the boatswain who had just been sent to count the list, named Modley, who was also a talkative and hearty man.

"Let me think about it..... So, let's make an analogy!"

As she spoke, Boatswain Modly sat down on a bench on the side deck, picked up his fishing rod, hung up the bait and threw it into the sea, and then suddenly laughed.

"If it weren't for Mideku-sama's prediction of the direction of the Ramuyu population, our harvest this time would probably be... 7 curtain fish, 13 sacrificial fish, 7 snails, 1 dark water shell....."

"How is it possible, such a large net, there are tens of thousands of fish caught alone!" "How can there be less than thirty??"

"Actually, that's exactly what it is!"

Modly explained, "Casting a net at will will be extremely costly, and you will hardly catch valuable fish, after all, there are so many ordinary fish in the entire sea area, and there are only a few rare seawater creatures that can be used as arcane materials!"

"If we cast a random net that is meaningless, only 3 thousandths of the net can be used as material at one time, which is about this amount!"

Modley paused and explained, "In other words, excluding the large number of fish caught and worthless, generally speaking, out of the tens of thousands, there are almost less than thirty that can be used as materials for alchemy and the construction of arcane frameworks!"

"This is our deep-sea fishing and hunting.... The reason why it is necessary to have a navigator. Only a navigator can estimate the direction of valuable fish and the timing of their catch!"

"Speaking of which, sometimes we are even unlucky, sometimes our fishing boats go to sea for five months, sometimes once in a row.... It's not time to go to the net!"

As he spoke, the fishing rod in Boatswain Modly's hand shook, and he frowned, and with a sudden retraction of his hand, he caught a strange blue-gray turtle.

"What, it's the Mudder turtle again..... You can take it back to stew soup, it tastes good. ā€

"Captain, your luck is so bad!!" "Haha, the captain has been fishing for three months without catching materials, I want to see if he will survive until then!!"

The sailors fishing next to them cheered one after another. "Speaking of the captain's character, I really don't want to say too much, I have been fishing and hunting for so many years, and even the number of first-order materials caught.... I can even count both palms!!"

Just when the other sailors were gleefully mocking.

"Huh...."The Messiah only felt the fishing rod in his hand vibrate slightly, "Is the fish hooked?" Then, without any hesitation, he pulled up!

A thumb-thin red vine rolls around the bait.... Caught by the Messiah.

"Can something so small bite bait??"

The Messiah was speechless as he looked at the red vines, which were only the size of a single eye. Puzzled, he looked up at the other sailors and asked, "What is this?"

Looking around at the Messiah, suddenly it seemed like a crow was silent.... All were dumbfounded.

"Hahaha!!" "Ha!!" "Laugh at me!!" "It's ironic!"

After the surrounding sailors were cold, they suddenly laughed, and they looked at Maude and said in a mocking tone: "Captain, look at the luck of others, and then look at you, can you compare?!!"

"This is ....." Messiah's green face suddenly became a little excited, as if he realized that he had caught something amazing.

"This is the grimace vine, and the red bodily fluid extracted from it is the arcane model construction material for the second-order low-level arcane --- 'water vine ghost'!"

The explanation was the sailor Missiti, the head of the Messiah, "It is a relatively common second-order material, and if it is worth about three thousand to four thousand gold coins!"

"Three thousand to four thousand... Gold!" Messiah's hands trembled slightly when he heard this. As an orphan begging on the streets for many years, this asset is definitely a wealth that he has never seen in his life!

He naturally knew that the prey that the sailors fished was private property that could be disposed of at will, and it could also be said that the income from fishing in the deep sea belonged to him, and the caravan was one of the benefits given to the sailors.

In the past, he had heard a lot of ..... Sailors fished in the deep sea for precious second-order and third-order alchemy materials, construction materials, and legendary examples of leading to overnight riches, but they didn't expect it to happen to them.

Ahem!!

"Grimace vine's words....." Boatswain Modly coughed loudly and deliberately as he looked at the teasing crowd around him and began to change the subject.

"Lord Mideku may pay a high price to buy it, because Lord Mideku has become the capital of navigators because he has cultivated the 'Water Cranberry Ghost', a second-order low-level 'spirit class' arcane!"

"I'm sure you'll be interested in it, Navigator!"

As he spoke, Modly, a middle-aged man, strode away quickly. "I'm going to inform Mideku-sama. ā€

"Modley, this guy is still going to make excuses!" "That's it!" "We can't just let him go!" The big men and sailors around laughed heartily, and the atmosphere was very lively.

---------------

In the blink of an eye.

Dressed in a navy blue robe, Midscu appeared on deck, but Modly, the boatswain's boatswain, was nowhere to be found.

"I heard, you caught a grimace vine??" Dressed in dark blue robes, Midku Navigator strode anxiously towards the Messiah.

"Yes!" Messiah nodded slightly, and with a palm of his hand, a vibrant red, earthworm-like five-clawed vine appeared in his palm.

"Sure enough!"

Midku's whole body trembled when he saw the vines, "My arcane 'water ghost vine' has fallen into a bottleneck, and now I personally refer to the prototype of the arcane and understand the biological structure, maybe I can make a breakthrough!"

As Midku spoke, a faint light suddenly began to condense around him, and a light red image slowly became real.....

Suddenly....

A magnified version of a puppy-sized, jellyfish-like translucent grimace vine appeared, wriggling across the deck....
