By mid-June, Teroš had a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and scorching sunshine, with little rain falling for days.

Lu Liangsheng inquired along the way, only to learn that this is a large province, and the city is called Antioch, close to the coast.

Once you enter the city, you will see a bustling area, which is very different from the Egypt you have passed, with buildings made of rock bricks and wooden strips staggered high and low, forming a large circle around a huge building with a dome in the middle.

In the open windows of the attic, the woman with the hood threw the sewage into the street, and the splash of mud frightened a nearby sow with four or five piglets to hide in panic.

In the sound of shouting and shouting, the women leaning on the fence and the door of the hotel are bare-shouldered, applying makeup, hooking the corners of their lips to show a charming smile, staring directly at the passers-by, occasionally someone comes up to whisper a few words, and then takes each other's arms and walks to a dark place.

"There are prostitutes here, too?"

couldn't understand the words, how could Wang Feng and the four of them not see it, their eyes widened, and they carefully watched the swaying waist into the alley or hotel.

"Barbarian is barbarian, in broad daylight, it's so direct, how can you come to some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, add elegance, tsk......"

The four of them stood on their toes, stretched their necks and looked at them a few times, and then they followed Lu Liangsheng through the dirty street in front of them, found a tavern, dusted off the sleeves of their robes, patted the wind and dust and walked in.

In the tavern, the voices, laughter and scolding gathered together, the woman who served the plate walked past a table, was held by the outstretched hand around the waist, sat on the guest, struggling, a few copper coins stuffed into the deep furrow on the chest, suddenly full of smiles, sitting on the guest twisted more fiercely.

"Fall!" "Cheap!"

"I'm so envious.... Ahh

"It's better for me to be Da Sui. ”

The four of them stared at this scene, muttering quietly one by one, and Lu Liangsheng on the other side took a sip of the wine that came up, frowned slightly, put it down and never picked it up again, his eyes swept around, and the noise in his ears was thrown away, paying attention to the words about 'siren'.

After all, this kind of place is the most well-connected.

“...... Send another jar of ale, tomorrow I will go to Egypt to sell a batch of goods, drink more today, I won't be able to drink on the way. ”

"I heard from the sailors on the ship docked that a governor had been killed over there, and that a group of Orientals had done it. ”

"Persian, or Arab?"

"It doesn't matter if they're Persian or Arab, they won't kill us, hehahaha. ”

"Speaking of boats, do you know about the sirens? I don't think there really is a kraken in the sea. ”

"It's been said in the city two days ago, I've heard some of it, you see?"

"It was the ship on which I inquired about the news that I met the ship that had caught the Siren, and the sailor said that he saw a half-man, half-fish man hanging from the mast from afar, and shouted to them, and the other said that he would send it to Constantine and present it to the emperor. ”

"Is it as beautiful as the legend?"

"I don't know. ”

In the noisy words of the tavern, the maid holding the wooden plate put down the clay pot full of wine, turned around, and the five people at the table near the door had left at some point, and a few copper coins were stacked on the table, and looked around, and the maid took her belt without a trace, and went to the next table with a whistle.

The noise spread outside the tavern, and Lu Liangsheng, who was walking in the crowd on the street, walked at a very fast pace, and a breeze from his sleeves wrapped around the old donkey and the four scholars behind him and disappeared into the city in the blink of an eye.

The sun was scarce and dusk, and the glow gradually turned orange on the sea, and among the rolling waves, a flock of white gulls seemed to smell fish, and flew around a large ship, and when they approached, they were swept away by a long pole that swept in.

"This is dedicated to Your Majesty, and you birds dare to come close!?"

"Wuka, come here for a change, you come to catch the birds!"

The man who had eaten the long pole lowered his head and shouted to one of his companions who had been arranging the rope, who dropped the rope, raised his elbow and wiped the sweat stain from his forehead, and lifted his gaze from the long pole in his hand to see a figure hanging under a crossbar of the mast.

"You're not dead, are you?"

"I've just watered it, I can't die, and when I put it down later, before offering it to His Majesty, whip her first, so that I will be honest. ”

The man handed over the work, stretched out easily, took one last look at the siren hanging above, went to the cabin, poured a glass of ale, leaned against the side of the ship, and talked to the rest of the crew about what kind of reward he would receive when he saw the emperor after he landed.

The young man who took over the drive of the seagulls, squinted against the pillar and hugged the long pole, looked at the sirens with his head down, and suddenly smiled, he had never seen the sirens, and he had never thought that the rumored mermaids would run after their boat, and it was stupid to see the fishing nets spilled and drill into them.

"After Athens, there is still one day before Constantine Dante, you should look at the sea a few more times, there will be no chance in the future. ”

The young man laughed at the siren in a self-muttering voice, and soon the sailor who had left before returned, and brought the captain and a few crew members with him, and slowly lowered the mermaid hanging above him to the deck.

"Twitter......"

The merman's hands were tied, and the fish's tail was tied with a rope attached to the mast, and he could not move when he put it down, and his eyes were horrified as the stout sailor came over with a whip, and the latter spat on the deck, and with the captain's approval, he shook off his arm, and the whip was lifted into the air, and then he pulled it down fiercely.

Crackle –

The leather whip crossed the scales, slashed off the delicate and white upper body, and instantly drew out a blood mark, the mermaid's eyes widened, and the scream of "tsk-" had not fallen, and the leather whip was whipped down again, falling on the shoulder, and a few strands of hair-like like seaweed suddenly broke and sprinkled in the air, and the blood marks drawn out slowly oozing blood.

"Twitter..... Yes..... Ah.....h

The merman opened his mouth wide, as if crying, and shook his head vigorously, begging them not to beat him, seeing her begging for mercy and wailing, several people laughed, and one of them squatted down with his belt, and stretched out his fingers to hook her mouth and pull it bigger, and saw that there were fine small teeth up and down inside, so he unfortunately withdrew his hand, and the belt was tied back again, which made his companion laugh louder and beat it lightly with his fist.

Someone laughed and shouted:

"Sanders, beware of being bitten off by the sirens, the woman in your house, we take care of you!"

On the deck, there was another burst of laughter, so that the man snatched the leather whip, sprinkled his anger on the mermaid in front of him, kicked it hard, raised the whip and whipped wildly, the delicate skin of the upper body was suddenly blurred with flesh and blood, and blood spots splashed on the faces of several people.

"Tsk...... Twitter..... Woo......"

The merman's screams became weak, and several people who were overconsciously rushed forward, dragged the whip-wielding Sanders back, grabbed the whip and threw it to the ground, and quickly asked the stunned young man to go to the cabin to get some external wound medicine.

"Fight so hard, how can Your Majesty get a reward on that side?!"

In the midst of the words, someone took the opportunity to kick the man named Sanders, who got up from the ground and scuffled with the person who spoke.

The ship was in confusion, still sailing past Athens, closer to Constantine to the north.
