"Sea Monster" Abyssal Boundary Zone, Continent, Segon Empire.

As a super-empire that almost unifies the continents, everything in the Segon Empire is thriving. Its most prosperous port city, Segonsahn, is home to a large number of ships sailing in and out every day, and countless slaves are stepping up to move their goods in the bay harbor.

In addition to merchant ships, there is also a port in the corner of the bay reserved for fishermen.

A little further inland from the harbor is the Harbour Bazaar, which is full of bars and clubs of all kinds, and people who come back from the sea like to go in and out of this place.

Drinking, bragging, coaxing, looking for women, and even gathering for a brawl are all the norm here.

Even the police officers along the coast don't always get involved with this group of troublesome kraft candy and waste their time.

There are legends of the sea here, and if you go to the bar and buy a drink, you can meet many "famous people" if you look around.

Whoever who, knocked down a few pirates, and received how much ransom.

Who, who, how many sea monsters were hunted, brought back the corpses, and were bought by the "lookouts" for a lot of money.

Who else met the daughter of a runaway rich family at sea, fell in love with each other, achieved positive results at sea, and became the envy of everyone, and he didn't have to work hard for the rest of his life.

This is the noisiest and most chaotic place in Segonsarn, but also the most authentic and scenic place.

Of course, the aristocratic lord certainly didn't think so.

……

At this time, a young man was chatting with the owner of a bar.

"Boss, your wine is expensive again."

"It's not going to be good lately, and business is not doing well."

"That's your problem, don't transfer the problem to the consumer!"

"Wow, 'consumer', what a high-end word, it seems that your university is indeed not for nothing. However, if it doesn't please the eye, you can not drink it. The boss smiled and was weird.

The young man pouted, but he still couldn't talk about the boss. It's just a quarrel that happens when they meet every week or two, and they don't even know how to do their job, even the owner of a tavern.

"Recently, the price of seafood has almost doubled, and those fishermen are all cunning guys, they must have hunter's blood on them!"

"Hehe, do you really believe that?" The boss still smiled.

Rumor has it that the harbour of Segonsarn is home to the descendants of hunters in communities large and small.

The blood of the hunters has given these descendants the ability to work at sea, and they rely on this unimaginable power to scavenge the catch off the coast of Segonsarn, squeezing the profits of ordinary fishermen and even some sea monsters who can't go far to catch the sea.

The boss said: "In my opinion, it is just a rumor made up out of jealousy by those fishermen who are not capable of their own ability and the so-called adventurers who dare not sail far. ”

The young man hummed and chirped for a long time, and it was difficult to refute.

The boss groped his chin and said, "But the increase in prices is indeed a bit exaggerated, and my small store has run several stores to buy enough and good price goods." ”

The young man suddenly became energetic: "In the previous period when earthquakes were frequent and the waves were fierce, the catch of fish and sea monsters in the offshore sea increased unusually. But it didn't meet the 'wave' target set by the church, and the result was a lot of money for the fishermen and adventurers! ”

"But a lot of people died at that time, and going to sea in a storm naturally required taking risks." The owner is still calm.

"I'm not talking about this, I'm just thinking lately, the patterns of behavior of offshore fish and sea monsters, I think it's possible to predict these artificially, if you find a pattern......" The young man rubbed his hands.

The boss looked at him with disdain.

The boss didn't answer, which made the young man a little embarrassed, so he could only answer by himself: "Maybe we can make a fortune." ”

"Snort......," the boss couldn't hold back his laughter.

The young man suddenly blushed: "I'm not joking, it's really okay, I'm collecting relevant information in the past few years, a lot of ......"

"When you say that, no one thinks that you are an economist from Segon College, but that you are another madman who wants to join the 'Lookout'."

The young man was suddenly dumbfounded and distracted.

It's a bit like the advanced force that originally stood by studying sea monsters and even became a benchmark for the whole continent, but now it has become synonymous with madness. They have even refused royal funding, thus severing most of their ties with the authorities, and still do not know what they are doing.

If you get involved with them, even if it's just a rumor, you will be taken by the police for questioning this year, and the relevant information will also be investigated and punished.

"I just want to make a profit from this, and I can definitely make a fortune. Speaking of those crazy people, aren't they still using sea monsters to make money to stay afloat? The young man gradually remembered to speak, and gradually became more and more eloquent.

The sea monster weapons sold by the lookout, even if all kinds of channels are now suppressed and cut off, the predictable profit can still make countless people blush.

The boss was noncommittal, shook his head and said, "You better be careful, fortunately, there are not many people from my small place." You just spoke too loudly. Recently, Segonsarn has not been very peaceful, and many people have come and gone. The people who came seemed to have come in to rob their homes, and the people who left seemed to have fled their names in a hurry. ”

"There are even rumors that the False God Cult has secretly entered the city, and traces of the activities of the lookouts are gradually appearing, and the patrols of the royal guards have become frequent."

"There are a lot of people who seem to have come from the sea. It's weird, and there's a group of people that I'm quite impressed. The man at the head was well-dressed, and I guess he was a pampered nobleman somewhere, white and thin, with thick dark circles under his eyes, and probably not suitable for life at sea. ”

"The group of people who followed him were all good, maybe they were all sons and brothers in a circle. There was a handsome guy who wore a top hat and tucked his hair away, but I had sharp eyes and noticed that the hair leaking from the gap in his hat was a rare red! There are some patterns on his body, which are a little weird, but there is no sense of disobedience in him. ”

"A child in a brown trench coat who looks like a detective, with only one eye, is not very easy to get along with, like a down-and-out prince in a play, who has lost something, but has long been careless. But being with friends can still show a close side. ”

"The tallest man was like a soldier, and he wore a suit like a military uniform. It's supposed to be a guard, the grade is quite old, but he is quite kind, and he even gave me a tip. ”

"They took a slave with them...... Yes, I say this because I have never seen anyone like a dog, although there have been similar rumors. I heard that some rich people like to buy this kind of interesting dog as a slave, which is a pastime. But their slave treatment is really good, and if he behaved normally, I would have thought he was a nobleman, or even a prince! And they'll give the slave the most meat! ”

"The last man, dressed modestly, was male, but with long hair. The manners are very different from those of Segun, but I guess they are foreign habits. He resembles the Roma, yes, the wandering people who claim to be soothsayers. The man was as mysterious as the Roma. He also gave me divination, and the way of divination was very strange, not crystal balls, not cards, but metal products. However, he spoke much better than the Roma, and he said that my financial fortune would rise steadily in the future, and that as long as I continued to sit firmly and use my keen observation and reading skills, I would be able to live a happy life. ”

The boss unconsciously talked a lot and poured himself a glass of water to drink.

The young man's face was strange: "Boss, I'm afraid you can use these people to compile it, and you've been secretly writing lately?" ”

"Fart, I've seen it with my own eyes."

Young people still don't believe that such people can get together, only the imaginary can write like this.

"You wouldn't have been inspired by Mr. Fire, would you?" The young man scratched his head.

The boss couldn't help but laugh and said, "You mean that the poet who has recently become famous in Segon Saenhehe, and whose poems have even been praised by everyone in Segon Academy, but is obsessed with creating that bullshit and mysterious poet?" ”

"I think Mr. 'Sea of Fire' has a deep thought! His talent is definitely not limited to poetry, and I bet that in the future his current criticisms will become famous texts that make people think deeply! The young man said earnestly, with even a hint of fanaticism in his words.

The boss shook his head with a smile, did not refute, just lowered his head and gently wiped the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly:

"That's a lot. It's time for you to take your heart back, Cross. Shortcuts exist, but not everyone can find them, and clinging to shortcuts may end up taking a long detour. The most realistic point is that the savings left to you after the death of your parents have not been much over the years. ”

The boss's words made Cross stunned in place, and his enthusiasm was swept away.

The tavern regained its long-lasting tranquility.
