30. Develop the shadow of the company
Just as Fisher was about to continue walking in the direction of the market with Arajina, illusory golden words suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, apparently because Yaren Niang had finished completing the manual.
[You have witnessed the Snow Mountain Clan: Cloud Cat Species]
[Now we will provide you with more details about the sample of the cloud cat species, so as to better find the research object]
Looking at the text that slowly emerged from the handbook of the Asian mother, Fisher suddenly remembered that the last time he had studied Ossie's social research, he had suggested that he had won a reward for obtaining the information of the family without binding, and it seemed that this was the content displayed now, and he could add more details about the sample of the cloud cat species.
The moment the illusory words appeared, everything around him seemed to slow down, and Fisher's eyes twitched, but his thoughts grew faster and faster, as if he had activated some kind of thought-accelerating device.
Immediately after, those illusory words circulated rapidly, and gradually transformed into the whole process of witnessing the cloud cat species just now, but it was more detailed than the glimpse just now.
The original crowd around her was all darkened into shadows, and the entire street seemed to have only the cloud cat girl who was leaving and Fisher who was observing her at this moment, and the presence of the rest of the people was infinitely reduced.
Fisher's gaze swept away, and he saw that the girl's white face did not have much hair, but her facial features were very soft, as harmless and lovely as gummies, and you could only see a little fluffy white hair in her hands around the bread.
From any point of view, this should be just a subhuman maid working in a café, nothing special.
But with the help of Yaren Niang's strange observation after completing the manual, Fisher soon discovered that the position where she walked was very hidden, and she kept moving her feet to change positions in the crowd, as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.
If it hadn't been for Fisher's subconscious look over there after being prompted by the sub-human mother to finish the manual, it is estimated that he would not have found the cat lady maid holding the bread at all.
Fisher's consciousness slowly approached the cat lady who was standing in the hidden part of the crowd, she seemed to be in a good mood, and there was no need to hide her body in this situation, not to mention that she was wearing such a conspicuous maid outfit, which was probably her subconscious behavior
The scene in her mind continued, and the highlighted catlady maid walked forward according to her previous memory, but the moment Fisher in the distance fell on her, she immediately shook her tail keenly, which is why Fisher could detect the length of her tail under her skirt.
At that time, she found herself watching her.
The cat lady reacted the moment Fisher's gaze landed on her, and everything was normal except for a slight change in her tail. No, there seems to be something hidden under the tail.
Fisher was keenly aware of something out of place next to her cocked tail, and when he crouched down to look at it, a dagger wrapped in a scabbard appeared under her skirt.
A café-working maid hides a dagger under her skirt to defend herself, right?
Fisher glanced at the harmless cloud-cat maid who was holding bread and humming songs, and it was clear that her true face was not as simple as it could be observed from the outside.
After she noticed Fisher's gaze, she didn't make any other moves, but continued to hum an unknown song in her mouth and sped away from the place, which is why Arajina, who had been paying attention to Fisher, turned her head to look over but saw nothing.
From the special perspective given to him by Yaren Niang after completing the manual, Fisher quickly realized that this cloud cat species had definitely received professional military training, and it was not the three-legged cat kung fu of ordinary pirates, but the kind with an official background.
And the official people of a certain country in the north. Or that the presence of spy agents or something on Pattishen Island, where pirates gather, is not a good sign, not to mention that it is still a long way from the north, and they are all here, and it is hard to guarantee that the Schwarys and Nari who are closer here will not show up.
Thinking of this, Fisher frowned, and took one last closer look at the uniform worn by the cat man among the details that had been strengthened in the revised manual, which was usually made by the store and sewn into the store's sign.
So, there are three lines of words written on it, from Nali, Swali to Northland, which means,
"Genting Cafe"
"Monitor lizard eggs! A pair, only 50 northern silver dollars! ”
"Sea ghost tentacles, sea ghost incense, sea ghost meat, packaged and sold, the price is negotiable."
"Magic materials, you can come and have a look if you need them, and you can accept any currency."
The market for materials on Pattiosin Island is below ground, and it is usually found in this environment, just as the magical market in St. Nari also has a shed overhead, because many materials cannot be kept in direct sunlight for too long and need to be kept out of the light.
Aragina and Fisher slowly walked into the fairly wide market below, where most of the vendors were stalls, and the occasional few that had done well had their own shops.
Aragina walked and looked at Fisher, and stopped when she heard the introduction of the vendor next to her, but stopped when she reached the shop that sold the body materials of the sea ghosts, and Fisher noticed her movements, remembering the sea ghosts they had failed to hunt before.
"There are people who sell body parts of sea ghosts. They also hit the sea ghosts. ”
Aragina shook her head, and suddenly said,
"Something is wrong."
"Something is wrong?"
"Hmm."
Fisher didn't know much about hunting and ecology in the sea, and Aragina knew more about this aspect of the Sardinian tradition, which was traditionally a habit of hunting in the ocean.
Hearing Fisher's words, she squatted down a little and pointed to the [Sea Ghost Incense] arranged in two balls on the stall, which is a pale yellow natural spice that appears in the body of the sea ghost, which can be used to refine perfume or make soap, but the two pieces on this stall are probably only as thick as Fisher's arm, which is too few compared to the huge sea ghost he saw before.
"Both pieces of sea ghost incense are complete, but they don't come from a single sea ghost and for some reason, the size of the incense ball is too small. The meat quality of the sea ghost is also completely lost, and the elasticity it should have been completely lost, which is why the price is so cheap."
The merchant who bought and sold the sea ghost incense knew that he had seen someone who knew what to do, so he hurriedly rubbed his hands and smiled a little closer to them, and explained for them,
"No, I don't know what's wrong this year, but I can meet so many sea ghosts at sea. Luck? Or could it be that their hometown has been raided by other, more dangerous sea monsters? Anyway, we've got a lot of this stuff. But as you say, the quality is so poor, who knows what they experienced at the bottom of the sea. ”
Under the sea?
Seeing the somewhat shrunken sea ghost meat, Fisher instantly thought of Jasmine, the curse on her body can extract the life force around her, it is difficult to say whether these sea ghosts escaped from the bottom of the sea because of her.
At this moment, Fisher suddenly felt something, his body stiffened slightly, and his thoughts came to an abrupt halt.
"Let's go, the materials for magic are there"
Even Aragina couldn't get any useful information from the rotten flesh of the sea ghosts that had been cut into pieces, and after a few careful glances, she decided to take Fisher away to buy magic materials, but before she could finish her words, Fisher next to her suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder, pressing her back to the place.
"Hmm"
When her earlobes were slightly red and she turned her head to look at her in confusion, Fisher didn't look at her, just looked past her figure into the distance, and secretly put an index finger in front of her lips.
"Shh
Arajina's blue eyes moved slightly, and she also turned her head to look in the direction that Fisher was looking, only to see that over there, several people in suits were carrying an iron box out of the depths of the market, and the man in the suit in the lead had blonde hair, looked around, and then walked out of the market with the men in suits behind him.
"What's wrong with the Nari?"
Fisher didn't look back, but just pretended to look at the goods in front of the stall and explained to Arajina,
I feel that the man in the suit has a lot of magic on his body, if each magic is counted according to the six rings, he carries about two dozen kinds of magic on his body, if it is combined with the low ring magic, I don't know the specific amount. So, it's more likely that he carried the dangerous magic of the higher ring. ”
"He's rich, and there aren't many people in Nari who can equip him with so much magic at the same time and carry it with him, and even fewer who can show up here by the way."
Aragina glanced at the departing backs of the group of men in suits, suddenly understood something, and guessed thoughtfully,
"Nari Pioneer Company?"
"Well, it's them, I just don't know what they're here for, it looks like they're here to pick up something, what's in that iron box."
Now, seeing that even the Nari Development Company was here, the sense of foreboding in Fisher's heart became even stronger.
The cloud cat from the north has something to do with it, and he just wants to study her. This situation is like a problem that the Asian mother has given herself after completing the manual, and it depends on whether Fisher dares to bet that he will be lucky enough to meet this subhuman race like this next time.
Just as Fisher and Arajina were talking in a low voice, a strong smell of wine mixed with a vague word came from the side,
"You can smell that stench from afar, and you can develop the company."
"Hey, you drunkard, go back to your stall, don't come to me."
"Stingy, what can I do if I stand here for a while? Can you die? ”
", that's how you spit on Kallio's stall last time I said, Jesse, get out of here!"
Osie stood behind Fisher, looking curiously at the man leaning against the wall behind the stall selling sea ghost meat, the man who seemed to have just appeared, dressed in rags, looking even more depressed than the native fishermen who covered their bodies with burlap outside.
He had a bottle of wine in his dirty hand, and the smell of alcohol was strong all over his body, as if he had just crawled out of the hell made of spirits, and it was no wonder that others disliked him so much.
Seeing that he was so unpopular, the drunkard, known as "Jesse", first raised his hand to pour himself a sip of wine, and then waved away indifferently, walking towards the corner of the market.
As he walked, he was still cursing something in his mouth, probably not a word that could be heard in his ears, and the object of the insult was obviously the pioneering company that Fisher had just mentioned.
Fisher watched as he lay down at the back of a stall and began to drink, then slowly got up and walked in his direction, and Aragina immediately followed for his safety, leaving Osie to wonder when the meal would be served.
The filthy old man's shop was in a very bad location, and around him was the whole underground market where the garbage was disposed of, and there were usually no customers looking for treasures here, and the items he sold were simply put on a cloth and placed on it, and Fisher glanced at it cursoryly, most of them were handicrafts from all over the world.
Fisher's gaze swept over his filthy body again, and under the flask in his hand, the outline of a golden box appeared on his grime chest, which Fisher recognized as a compass made by Nari.
In terms of shipbuilding, navigation technology and mapping, no one dares to say that no one dares to say second, and the compass skills are of course also included.
This man is familiar with the Nari Company and carries a compass with him, and there are not many people who can meet these conditions at the same time.
"Do you know people from pioneering companies?"
Fisher crouched in front of his stall, and just as he wanted to reach out and touch the handicrafts on his stall, he was interrupted by his wine-filled words,
"If you don't buy it, don't touch it, I don't have the rules of inspection here. The urine sex of the development company, even if you go to the dung pit, you can't do without that orthodox suit, and the name of the suit dog is not something that can be spread by barking. ”
Employees of the company often wear expensive suits from Saint-Nari when they go overseas to work, so they always appear in a suit at any given time, hence the nickname.
"The lack of inspection is because you firmly believe that the treasures you brought back from overseas are treasures? There are not many of you navigators who are favored by the times. ”
The drunken man squinted at Fisher, then took another sip of the wine in the bottle, did not respond to his words, but just asked directly,
"Want something from me, Nari."
Fisher stopped talking too much nonsense, looked at him and asked,
"I want to know what the employees of the pioneering company are coming to this market for."
