66. The marrow

Fisher didn't first listen to Meg talk about the secrets of the Sea Asians, after all, the streets were full of people.

He decided to take the rebellious child back to Gina's wholesale store first, and help the family ease the family conflict that seemed to be very difficult to solve.

When they returned to the wholesale shop, the mother and daughter looked at each other like this, and then Meg looked away unnaturally, and of course there could be no normal communication.

Gina wanted to teach her disobedient daughter a lesson, but because Fisher and Jasmine were two outsiders, she didn't have a seizure for a while, just glared at Meg, who was bowing her head, and then went out to deal with her magic chicken.

"Now let's talk about the information about the so-called Sea Subhumans."

Seeing that the shop was quiet, Fisher turned his head to look at Meg on the sofa holding a pillow, and said.

Jasmine, who was next to her, placed the magic materials on the table, and then looked curiously at Meg in front of her, waiting for her to speak.

"Hmm... It's probably this week, and I sometimes run out at night to play... With my boyfriend, they bought several bottles of wine this Monday night and took me to the Coco River to see the stars. ”

"We were drinking too much and a friend from Callon Street named Carrick brought up a funny thing to us..."

"Interesting thing?"

"Hmm." Meg recalls the events of that night, saying, "He said that there was a water-growing elf in the pool in the middle of Parker Park next to the end of the Coco River, who loved to trade with humans. ”

"Just place a valuable item on the edge of the pool at night and say three times to the Mother Goddess in the center of the pool, 'Baby, exchange it quickly.'"

"Then wait until the next morning, and the items that are placed on the edge of the pool will be taken away and replaced with something really magical, like magical materials and corals and stuff."

"But the elf only takes more valuable things, such as jewelry and gemstones, and Carrick said that he put a beer bottle on it and the elf confiscated it."

Jasmine listened intently, and the more she listened, the more she felt like the legend of the ten ghosts of St. Nari that Mirika had told her at night, and she shuddered a little, and quietly leaned over to Fisher's side, but at the same time looked at Meg very intently, very curious about the next story.

Fishermo rubbed his chin and looked thoughtful, but he also did not answer.

"Then that night, my boyfriend was a little too drunk and a little excited, and he was going to take us to Parker Park to exchange items with the elves inside,"

"But they don't really want to exchange items, they want to catch the elf! They put their belongings away and hid them in the books in Parker Park, then grabbed the elf when he appeared. ”

"My boyfriend put the pocket watch he brought out of the house on the edge of the pool, and then we lay in the bushes next to us and waited for the elf to show up."

"But when I lay down, it was already about two or three o'clock in the morning, and everyone was sleepy after drinking some alcohol, and my boyfriend and Carrick quickly fell asleep, and I couldn't hold on and slept for a while."

"But my sleep is very light, and any sound wakes me up. I fell asleep and heard the sound of water on the other side of the pool, and some other strange noises, and I was woken up. ”

"I don't know what time it was, but it wasn't dawn yet, five or six? I got up, and I saw the little elf that Carrick was talking about! It wasn't an elf at all, but a living thing! ”

"I saw a human head poking up from the pool in Park Park, reaching for the pocket watch that was on the edge of the pool, and holding it up to look... There was a pipe under the pool in the middle of Parker Park that connected to the drain of the Coco River, and the guy took the pocket watch we had placed on the edge of the pool and put a black conch in its place! It's the one I gave to my mother, have you seen it? ”

Fisher nodded and said to read it, and at the same time put all the information just now into his mind in his heart, he just wanted to ask something, Jasmine who was nervously holding the hem of her skirt next to her was like an enthusiastic listener listening to the story, and took a breath in a little panic and asked,

"And then? You only see one head? Could it be that a sea ghost? Did he find you? ”

Fisher glanced at Jasmine next to her, and from the side of her face, her ruddy face was a little pale, and she looked scared, but she was very curious, eager to know what happened next that night.

"No... I wasn't very conscious at the time, I only saw a human head coming out of the water, and I didn't see a face. I was so scared that I thought it was a ghost or a monster that sucked human blood. I have the impression that an elf would never have a human head of this size. ”

"But when I came back with the conch, I thought about it carefully, ghosts are too ethereal, but it is absolutely impossible for a pipe to swim in the water for such a long time, it may be... The subhuman race, of course, is not impossible to be some other monster, so I said I'm not sure if it's real. ”

Meg had finished speaking, and she pursed her lips and looked at Fisher, who was thinking.

Fisher probably thought for a moment, and if what Meg saw at the time was true, then it was indeed a subhuman species of the ocean.

And just now he observed the conch, which should not be very much like a shallow sea or offshore object, Saint-Nari is a coastal city, and Fisher has seen many fishermen from the sea since he was a child, but he has never seen such a conch.

So, is there a possibility that it is indeed a subhuman species from the ocean, and it has something to do with the whale human girl next to her, who is also from the ocean?

Fisher secretly glanced at Jasmine next to her, and saw that her mouth was slightly open, as if she was still immersed in the story that Meg had just described, and now she was probably still imagining what kind of monster that thing was.

If it had anything to do with Jasmine, would she have reacted like this?

Or is she doing acting, the kind that is similar to Renee, and she doesn't want to expose things that she might have to do with the Ocean Asians?

Or is that the marine subhuman has nothing to do with Jasmine, but is just a marine subspecies that pokes out of the sea and comes to land of another race?

Fisher, who didn't get a specific answer, had to pause his thoughts for a while, nodded and stood up,

"I see, I'll check with Park Park later. I've got something else to prepare for today, so I'll go first, by the way..."

Fisher motioned for Jasmine to bring the magic materials next to her, and then slowly walked to the door and turned back to Meg and said,

"Remember to apologize to your mother, and don't go out and fool around with those guys after that, you won't get anything but losing precious time and youth in vain."

Meg opened her mouth, and finally lowered her head in agreement.

Fisher pushed the door out, and saw Gina squatting on the ground torturing the magic chick at the door, she looked back at Fisher and Jasmine who came out, and said,

"Are you leaving?"

"Well, I got some interesting news from Meg... I've already criticized her, and I hope she'll be a little more well-behaved in the future. ”

"Heh, I'm thankful she's not dying outside."

Gina glanced in the direction of the store and said.

Fisher smiled, put on his gentleman's hat, and went with Jasmine to the inside of the Magic Market, where he had other things to buy.

“... Professor Fisher, do you think Miss Meg encountered a ghost before? It is... Monsters that arise from the sea, or some other place where resentment gathers, often run to the shore or the bottom of the sea to catch living creatures. ”

"Where did you hear that?"

"It was Mirika who told me... She said that when she was a child, ghosts often came into her room and tried to eat her, but she said that ghosts could not attack people hiding under the covers, and this is how she escaped. ”

Hearing Jasmine's words, Fisher said with a smile in his eyes,

"She lied to you."

"Huh?"

"She didn't receive a ghost attack as a child. Moreover, her father is one of the three bishops of Nari, and even if he has a soul in the past, he is probably now sent to serve the mother goddess to serve her old man, and she says this to scare you. ”

"Scared... Scare me? Why. ”

Fisher turned his head to look at Jasmine, who had hidden her head behind the bag containing the magic materials, her face was a little ruddy, and she only poked out a watery eye to look at Fisher, and she looked very cute, like a tender apple.

That's because the way you look scared is cute.

The correct answer was this, but Fisher did not say it, lest he turn himself into a perverted Nari gentleman professor who harassed his students.

He turned his head to look at the shops around him, and responded,

"That's because you have a good relationship, that's why she shares this kind of interesting story with you, and when you're attracted to the content, she achieves her purpose."

"It's... Such. ”

Jasmine looked up from behind the bag as if she had come to her senses, and then thought of Mirika's wicked smile, and she thought that Professor Fisher had a point, and that Milica just liked to talk about these scary things, and every time she was scared and wanted to hear them.

Tomilika's blessing, at first, Jasmine thought that the land was full of such strange monsters, who told her to be in the sea for so long without seeing a single one. Now I know that the land is the same as the bottom of the sea, and those terrifying monsters can't be seen!

In the following time, Fisher bought several more materials for high-level magic.

As he walked around, Fisher remembered the two scimitars that Elliog was carrying before, and he wanted to buy a suitable cold weapon to use, this is because Elliog gave him a part of using cold weapons in his combat method, and the practice effect with a real weapon may be better.

But after walking around for a while, he didn't see a store selling cold weapons, and now St. Nari can rarely see items such as traditional knight swords, if you want to, you can only go to a special blacksmith shop to find someone to customize, that kind of price and time will cost a lot.

With all the belongings almost gone, and the time was in the afternoon, Fisher was ready to leave with Jasmine. But as he was leaving, he stumbled upon a shiny stone on the stall of a hunter with a shotgun on his back and a dirty face.

The stone seemed to be a myriad of cubes put together, and from the center of the stone shimmered faintly colored light, as if it were something alive.

net

Fisher crouched down at the front of the stall with some interest, looking at the stone.

This thing Fisher knew, it was a magical material called [Earth Marrow], but it was not used much in magic engraving, it can make magic more active when placed in heraldry, but this thing is hard to find, and there are many cheaper alternatives, so unless it is a bad brain, magicians generally do not use this thing.

However, this thing is very good-looking, there are all kinds of marrow of different colors and shapes in different places, all kinds of colors, blue, red, this thing in front of him is actually colorful, Fisher is the first time to see this thing.

Jasmine next to her also moved her gaze to the colorful stone on the stall and asked,

"Professor Fisher, this is..."

"It's the marrow, a beautiful but useless magical material, but it's the first time I've seen something of this color... How much does this stuff cost? ”

The hunter glanced at Fisher and spoke,

"2000 Nario."

"1000 Nario, bring me a bag by the way... Where did you dig this thing? ”

The hunter blew his beard and glared at the gentleman in front of him, who had cut half the price at once, and saw how this guy in a suit and leather shoes could bargain like the old ladies on Cullen Street.

It was the first time he had seen such a calculating magician.

"1500 Nario, I can't be less, I dug it up when I went into the mountains to hunt, and they say that no one has ever seen this color of the marrow."

"1350 euros, plus a bag."

Fisher had already taken out his wallet, and calmly revealed the balance in his wallet to the hunter, meaning obviously, I don't have that much money, and I will leave if I don't sell it.

This hunter is not very angry, but this thing is really not easy to shoot, this thing is a bit too much for the magician, if it is regarded as an ornament, the difficulty of processing is too great, this thing is very hard, ordinary magicians use it to rub the magic blade for a long time to take a little powder to use.

"Okay... You take 1350 euros, but I don't have a bag, you can figure it out yourself. ”

Fisher paid for it, silently picked it up, and placed it on the bag of magical materials that Jasmine was holding next to her.

He was going to make a little decoration with this thing, and it would look good in the room if it didn't work.

Fisher, with his cane in hand, and Jasmine's student assistant, who was full of magical materials, returned to the entrance of the Magic Marketplace to take the carriage back to St. Nari University.

On the way back, while looking at the scenery outside, Jasmine felt that she had learned a lot of interesting knowledge and secrets from Professor Fisher that day.

Moreover, I also heard such an interesting story about the "Parker Park Elf".

Fisher was closing her eyes and recuperating, Jasmine leaned against the window of the carriage and smirked, and then, smiling and laughing, she suddenly thought that it seemed that Xiangsoul had told her that there would be a race under the sea to send her something, and she had not contacted Xiangsoul at all during this time.

Could it be that those ocean subhumans in the Coco River are here to find themselves?!

Jasmine suddenly figured something out and subconsciously wanted to go back to the carriage, but when she looked up, she forgot that her head was looking out of the window, so when she looked up, she hit the window frame above.

"Bump!"

"Uhhhhhh

She returned to the carriage with her head in her hands, and looked back just in time to see Fisher, who had opened his eyes at her own movement.

So, she blushed in embarrassment again, looking embarrassed.

"Are you alright?"

"No, it's fine!"

Thankfully, Fisher, as always, didn't say anything that embarrassed her.

Jasmine shook her head and sat back in her place. Seeing that she was fine, Fisher smiled and retracted his gaze and began to close his eyes again.

So he didn't notice that Jasmine glanced at him secretly, and then quickly withdrew her gaze and pursed her lips.

The atmosphere in the carriage was quiet, yet as hot as the rest of the whole of Saint-Nari.

At least it's much hotter than in the deep ocean.

Jasmine thought so.
