The inhabitants of Kuroshio moved in astonishing unison, as if they were all bound together by the same marionette thread.

No, not as if, but there really is an invisible thread that controls their id, instinct, and subconscious reactions.

That's their shared belief in Dagon of the Abyssal Nightmare!

Obviously, these residents of Kuroshio Town seem to be normal people on the surface, but the "self" bound to the flesh has long been polluted by the object of faith.

Even the subconscious reaction is exactly the same.

The so-called "ascension" into the deep-sea clan in their mouths is just the god who was anchored to them and forcibly dragged into the water.

It wasn't until he heard the townsfolk say, "Another fish is coming," and Byron finally recovered from the series of shocks that the town brought him.

Re-realized, in addition to whale oil technology, god Dagon, Jörmungadr and other shameful god-level thieves.

The main purpose of coming here should be to rescue [Hawkeye] James Kent, who accidentally "ate the wrong fish", and his companions.

Togel Munne, the owner of the oil refinery, who was originally directing the workers to break down the whale fat, suddenly said:

"Someone is asking for help, and we should help them."

The others also seemed to be fine, completely unaware of their anomalies and echoed:

"Saving the lost lamb is also part of the teachings of the gods, and we should lead the followers of other gods to the right path."

"And invite them to our Fish-Eating Day festival, just like the outsiders did a few days ago."

"That's right!"

You and I quickly reached a consensus.

The group immediately jumped onto the whaling ship, pulled anchor and hoisted its sails, and rushed towards the wrecked adventure ship in the distant sea.

Of course, don't forget to leave enough people to watch the fire.

This kind of burning whale oil and boiling whale oil sounds a bit hell, but in fact, the unexpected consequences of the actual operation are even more hellish.

Once any pot is not properly operated when boiling oil, the oil temperature is too high, causing a big explosion, which is enough to blow up the entire dock directly into the sky.

In particular, the super "whale explosion" caused by the corruption and expansion of the Leviathan whale after the death of the Mei's Leviathan whale.

According to the older generation of whalers, it was the fastest way to hang it side by side with your ancestors on the wall, and there was no one.

Whalers who had the privilege of witnessing it described it as the second sun rising over the sea, engulfing everything with mushroom-like clouds.

No one dares to be careless.

"Uncle Mun, I'm going to help too."

Seeing this, Byron hurriedly followed.

There was no sign of Hawkeye James and the others in the town, and there was no trace of the Jackdaw.

But in the memories of the mayor and this body, they are very sure that the "sacrifice" is in this town.

Instead of going to great lengths to find out their whereabouts little by little, it is better to follow behind this batch of "new fish" and see what happens.

Maybe you can easily find the location of those unlucky guys.

"What, you are the descendants of the ancient bay people? Hundreds of years into the New World?

My Creator, this is incredible. ”

When the crew of the adventure ship heard the candid and outspoken words of the residents of Kuroshio Town, as well as the trademark blue eyes, they unsurprisingly showed stunned expressions.

The standard animal trainers on the ship can activate [Psychic Synaesthesia], and this ability to communicate with animals can be used to communicate with humans.

Moreover, the third-order [Beast Tamer] Jefferson on this adventure ship is still the captain, and it is very simple to open a "group psychic synaesthesia".

After repeated confirmation, they also had to accept this unexpected way of unfolding.

Jefferson then briefed the townspeople on his side:

"We are the adventure ship of the Rhine League, the Iron Guard.

However, just as I broke away from the Broken Islands and arrived in the nearby waters, my small sea monster [Iron Spear Shrimp] was suddenly dragged thousands of meters deep by something unknown.

The rudder was destroyed in the chaos and had to be repaired by docking, but thankfully you met.

Otherwise, tonight will be dangerous."

At the end, don't forget to add:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know a lot of friends from the pirate city of Black Sail Harbor.

If the descendants of the Wandfolk can help us in our quest to discover the New World, I would be happy to take a few delegates back with me on my return journey.

Maybe a few royal families in the Wanmin country will be happy and will give you one or two titles. ”

The adventurer wasn't lying to the townspeople.

The Iron Clamp is the second echelon of adventure ships in various countries, only the captain is the first person who is a third order, and his strength is relatively ordinary, and he can only be controlled by a powerful small sea monster.

Before receiving news from the Pirate King, they had been wandering the nearby labyrinthine Broken Isles for months.

After being dispelled by a nautical chart and finding the right route, the speed of the voyage is naturally extraordinarily fast.

It's a pity that before they can cheer loudly, great joy and great sorrow come one after another.

Accidentally attacked, heavy losses, especially the loss of the most powerful sea monsters, their strength at least dropped by sixty percent at once.

It was not that these colonists were completely unwary of strangers at this time.

It's because of the inertial thinking from the Bantaan Islands that they subconsciously think that the "semi-natives" that appear in front of them are the original Taínos.

Hospitable and very simple and friendly to the first colonists of non-hostile tribes.

It is said that the outsiders would not have been able to establish their first settlement in the Bantaan Islands if it were not for the help of the indigenous people.

In other words, that is, under the conditions of lower material production, the indigenous people have not yet evolved the honey-bellied sword that can only be born under complex social relations, and it is extremely simple to have two sides and three swords.

Jefferson, the [animal tamer] who made the mistake of empiricism, didn't realize that among so many people, he was actually the only one.

Hearing the announcement of his knighthood, Byron and Violet couldn't help but shake their heads in their hearts at the same time:

If those god-level thieves are parasites on the Bayfolk group, then these guys are clinging to the minions and limbs of the group.

We don't have that much to be the lord of these guys, so it's better to hurry up and knife together. ’

The refinery owner, Togel Munne, had a simple face, and said politely while helping them tug the boat:

"Our ancestors have passed down the epic of the Bay people from generation to generation, and often tell us about our hometown.

Since it's from my hometown, it's natural to talk about helping.

And you have come just in time to commemorate the fact that our ancestors were able to survive in the New World by receiving the gift of the sea on this day, and the annual Fish Day Festival is being held on the island.

Please participate. ”

Of course, Jefferson would not refuse such a small invitation, and thanked him again and again:

"Definitely, definitely. Thank you for your help, even if you are far from your homeland, you are worthy of the last gentleman's title. ”

In a very harmonious atmosphere, the two boats began to return to Kuroshio Town, one after the other.

Byron, who had developed his spiritual sense after connecting with Violet, noticed that there was a group of strange creatures that were half human, half fish, half frog in the depths of the water, quietly disappearing into the reflection of Kuroshio Town projected in the sea.

Obviously, the accident on the outsider's ship was not really due to any accident, but because of the attack of those strange creatures, or the old gods.

I revisited the memories of the possessed subject, but found nothing:

"The townsfolk have memories of the existence of the Depths, but it seems that they are strictly restricted by the Deepdiving Church, and communication is forbidden.

The townsfolk have no idea what the world of the clan is like, only the eternal yearning for the clan under the continuous brainwashing of that Dagon day after day. ”

Violet pouted in her dream:

"What else can they communicate?

Let those believers who are still in the state of incubation see that the so-called dependents are actually just the miserable appearance of themselves after being polluted by the gods and devoured by the 'beast'?

In addition to the fact that the transcendent can truly realize the transformation of the essence of life.

Ordinary people who have not been spiritually awakened, and individuals who can still retain their language ability after becoming a family member, can be regarded as a very lucky few.

Most of them are just beasts like cannon fodder. ”

As he spoke, the two boats had returned to the docks in Kuroshio Town.

Jefferson and the crew of the adventure ship saw the dazzling array of whale oil technology in the town, as well as a Leviathan whale that had only been seen in the Pirate King's intelligence, and a fire flickered in their eyes.

The gaze that looked at the townspeople became subtle.

The order that originally wanted to leave half of the crew to guard the ship to prepare for the unexpected also became: "Bring guns and land en masse!" ”

The ancestors of the inhabitants of this place left the Old World hundreds of years ago, and even the linguistic basis of the phonetic script has changed greatly, and eighty percent, like the natives, do not recognize what this iron pipe is.

All this was seen by Byron and Violet, and they shook their heads secretly:

"After confirming the eyes, none of the big guys are good people, it depends on who can be better in the end."

At this time, in the brightly lit square in the center of the town, the "Fish Day Festival" with singing and dancing has begun.

It's just that a large pool filled with seawater was built in the middle of the square, and I don't know what it was for, and there was no old man over forty years old in the crowd.

Outsiders only thought that this was a unique holiday custom, and they did not find it strange.

When the other townspeople saw the arrival of their guests, they were all very hospitable and gave up their places for them.

Workshop owner Togel Munn enthusiastically explains to the adventurers:

"Our ancestors came to the New World by accident hundreds of years ago and struggled to survive on barren islands, mainly fishing.

Once, because of the violent storms that lasted for months during the rainy season, they had no way to go to sea at all.

Just when everyone was about to starve to death, a big fish bigger than a whale washed up on the shore and ran aground on the beach.

The ancestors believed that it was a gift from the gods of the sea.

I ate the fish with gratitude, and later, in order to thank the gods, we left a tradition of eating fish on the day of fish.

At the festival every year, we eat fish for half a month, but in fact, our staple food is usually fish, but this time is particularly abundant.

To be honest, no matter how good the fish is, there are times when you get tired of eating it, and it is really not easy to come across some special 'catches' at this time. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and pointed his hand to the long table in the middle with many tables, and introduced them to the past.

Raw fish, boiled fish, grilled fish, smoked fish, marinated fish, fried fish, you name it.

In particular, he also introduced a "Iron Anchor Bay Flavor Grand Stinky Dried Fish" that is placed on a large plate alone and covered by a glass cover.

"This is the food of Tie Anchor Bay, the hometown of our Bay people, where the fish is cut into large pieces with the skin and placed outdoors to dry, air dry and ferment.

It just so happens that we have a huge cold snap passing through here, which causes the temperature to be much cooler than in other regions, and there are natural conditions to make this hometown cuisine.

Just wait two months and you can enjoy this delicious taste.

Believe me, once you eat it, you will never forget the taste for the rest of your life. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the lid directly.

In an instant, a stream of ammonia mixed with the "fragrance of fish meat" of the carrion slammed into the olfactory organs of everyone within a radius of tens of meters.

It was so exciting that I couldn't help but cry.

If you have to find something to describe this smell, the public toilet that has been disinfected directly without cleaning after three days of water has been stopped is almost comparable to its style.

"Gross~, sure enough, there is no deception.

It's true that once you eat it, you'll never forget it, not because it's delicious, it's just disgusting. ”

Byron still couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously looked at Violet again.

The latter, who was connected to his senses, instantly understood what he meant, and hurriedly danced his two little hands into a windmill, and explained to him:

"Iron Anchor Bay flavor Grand stinky dried fish is indeed a specialty of Iron Anchor Bay, and this method is indeed very authentic.

But! Byron, you have to believe me, I've never eaten this, absolutely not! ”

Her Royal Highness Princess Wanmin is still desperately trying to prove her innocence.

Togail Munn, the owner of the oil refinery, casually cut a piece of white fish and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it with pleasure on his face.

"It's this taste, it smells stinky, but it tastes even more stinky, I miss my hometown, I remember the bittersweet and bittersweet, there is no better food than this."

He also did not forget to signal to the adventurous crew:

"Please, please use, it's like going to your own home, don't be polite to us."

The blue-faced captain of the adventure ship and the sailors, if they hadn't seen the "relish" of his own food, would have almost thought that this guy was really in the fish.

It's even more terrifying than poisoning.

Knowledgeable adventurers have actually heard of this "Iron Anchor Bay Specialty Food".

It is also known that in several Bay Republic homes there is even special legislation prohibiting the consumption of stinky dried fish in public, which can be punishable by up to three months in prison.

Obviously, not all Bay residents can accept this "bioweapons grade" delicacy.

At this point, there is no doubt about the identity of these "descendants of the Wanmin".

Moreover, they were rescued just now, and they were really embarrassed to refuse the invitation.

If you want to get those whale oil technology, you don't have to rush for a while, you can eat a full meal first.

Glancing around, I saw that the townspeople were eating very happily.

The second-order [naturalists] in the team also quietly used their own identification techniques on the various fish and meat dishes on the table, and did not find any problems, nodding to their companions.

The members of the adventure ship each took a meal from the table next to them and ate it, and when they ate it, it tasted very delicious.

[Beast Tamer] Jefferson's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he exclaimed again and again while chewing:

"Sir, what kind of fish are these, I don't know how this animal trainer knows, it's so delicious."

The workshop owner, who was still eating stinky dried fish, smiled a little weirdly, looked into his eyes and said meaningfully:

"Oh, the owner of this meat, I asked so before."

"What?"

Jefferson thought he hadn't heard clearly, and was about to ask, but suddenly he fell to his knees with a hard grip on his neck.

There was a strange roar in his throat, but he couldn't say a word.

"Ho-ho-ho"

Just like the coral people at the beginning, the bodies of all the crew members of the [Iron Armor Clamp] who had eaten the fish began to transform rapidly, and scales, fins, and tails grew on their bodies

In the end, they all turned into a bunch of ugly big fish, fluttering desperately on the ground.

A pair of angry dead fish eyes also became extremely cloudy, and before his consciousness fell into a completely dim state, he finally heard only a faint sigh:

"Blindly eat fish, or not."
