Section 789 Small fishing village
What Jiebo was thinking about was what he knew about the alchemist, or rather, the unspoken rules that the alchemist showed to the outside world.
Naturally, this was true, but Jabpo didn't understand that Ingres's path as an alchemist was very different from other orthodox traditions, and he had hardly received formal alchemy instruction. Even though Ingres knew some of the unspoken rules, he wasn't forced to do so, so he basically went with his own mood.
For example, the Alchemy Codex, he would also write the Codex at the end of the alchemy, but he always recorded his doubts in the refining process and some shortcomings that could be improved in the future, and did not record the refining process in such detail as other alchemists.
If Jabpo had spent a little longer with Angels, he would probably have discovered these details of the eyebrows, but now, he could only understand according to the rules of a traditional alchemist.
After listening to Jiebo's words, Silly naturally knew what he wanted to express, but after he said "um", he continued to ask Jiebo to follow Angel with an unchanged face, as if the bunch of words that Jiebo said before were empty nonsense.
Jabpo was puzzled, not understanding why Sleu wanted him to continue with Angel.
If it's because he wants to break him apart and not get involved in the current contradictions of the Song of the Deep Sea, it's a big deal that he won't go back, the world is so big, where can't he go?
In the face of Jiebo's questioning, Slimu didn't want to answer, after all, his relationship with Jiebo has always been superficial. However, because of the theft of the mysterious thing, he has been squeezed out by the core layer of the Song of the Deep Sea, and the only person he can rely on at this time is the help of the sea god Frenza.
Therefore, Slieu finally relented and said, "Actually, you and I both know that Angel can't be that person, but since Lord Poseidon has not terminated the mission, you can continue to follow...... This. ”
Jie Bo's eyebrows furrowed: "Where is the mentor now?" Why don't I tell the mentor directly, it's a big deal if I don't go back, it's okay to stay in the Ferran Continent." ”
Slieu shook his head: "Lord Seagod has returned to the Song of the Deep Sea, and is mediating with the people of the Dongsai faction, it is impossible for him to reply to your words." After a pause, Slieu added, "That's why you should continue to follow until the mission is lifted." Think of it as a closer relationship. ”
Jiebo said expressionlessly: "However, I have already become close to him. ”
"Oh?" asked Slieu, curious, "How did you manage to get closer so quickly?"
Jiebo talked about his experience in the Ocean Mansion not long ago, and he was quite proud in his words.
Slieu: "......"
"This is what you call a closer relationship? This is simply a normal exchange of interests!" Slieu did not give Jiebo any more room to negotiate, and directly ordered: "Continue to follow him." ”
With that, Slimu directly turned off the contact, leaving only an ugly Jiebo left.
At this time, Bai, who had been hiding in the dark, appeared: "My lord, are we going to look for Mr. Pat now?"
Japo pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, "Go, but I'll go alone, and you will stay here and wait for Lord Sriou's orders." ”
After Jiebo finished speaking, he walked out of the Ocean Mansion with a gloomy face.
On the other side, Ingres had already fled out of the territory of the Anjou dynasty on a gondola and entered the central wilderness.
At the beginning of night, Angels arrived in the territory of the country of pothos.
The journey went smoothly, and Ingres flew directly to the Marcel neighborhood of the City of the Moon in a gondola, causing many mortals to exclaim and bow down along the way.
Angels could faintly hear Marcel shouting from their mouths.
However, Angel ignored it and found Alvin's home.
By this time, Arwyn had returned from the capital of the Pothos Kingdom, and Ingres greeted him and asked about Duru's whereabouts.
From Alwyn, Ingres learns that Durrou is still in the small fishing village and does not come to him. After Ingres inquired about the location of the small fishing village, he flew away from the city of Yueseer in a gondola.
When the stars were shining brightly on the night, Ingres followed the guidance of the stars and came to a quiet fishing village near the sea.
A little fishing fire, floating on the sea, that is the light lit by the fishermen in the open sea when they return from fishing. In the village, there is cooking smoke, and children are playing in the village, which is quiet and beautiful, as if it is out of the world.
Angels found no man's land and landed from the sky.
Then he walked slowly towards the village. He didn't have long to walk before he encountered a group of people hurrying out of the village, most of them were women or elderly people who had stayed at home.
Their mouths speak a lingua franca with an accent and seem to be calling out a name called "Kumor".
When they came to the outside of the village and saw Angel as a strange visitor, they only looked at him slightly, then ignored it and continued to rush outside, as if he was looking for someone.
There was only an old man with a cane, who was left at the entrance of the village because the road outside was full of gravel and his legs were inconvenient. When he saw Angels, he came over suspiciously: "Hey, who are you...... I don't think I've seen you in the village?"
Ingres: "I'm just a traveler, and I'm here to find people in a small fishing village. ”
"Traveler?" the old man smacked for a long time and pouted, "Who are you looking for?"
"Duru. ”
"Dulu...... Oh, you're talking about the Scott boys, right? His house is over there. The old man was stunned, and stretched out his finger to point to the wooden house behind a coconut garden not far away.
Angel just glanced at it and said softly, "He's not home." ”
The old man nodded, thinking that Ingres had judged that Durrous was not at home by the fact that the lights were not lit inside, "Yes, I heard that he went out fishing with Leif this morning, and I guess he will be back in a while." ”
The old man's conversation was very prosperous, and he didn't care if Ingres's identity was unreasonable, and he didn't care whether he was a good guy or a bad guy, so he began to talk about Durroux, and then he talked about Leif later.
Ingres was fine for a moment, so he did not interrupt him, and listened to him with interest.
But it didn't take long for a sudden scream to be heard from the seaside.
The old man was suddenly stunned, turned his head to look in the direction of the sea, and then slapped his head suddenly: "Oh, I just chatted with you, why did I forget, Kumor has no news yet......! Something happened?"
The old man was anxious, praying for all safety.
From his thoughts, Ingres roughly restored the matter.
It turned out that a group of children ran to the beach to play, and then somehow, a group of bear children competed to dive to find shellfish. At last, when the others returned, they found that one named Kumor was missing, and they ran back to the village crying, and when the adults heard this, they were so anxious that they all put down their work and rushed out.
It's been half an hour since Kumor disappeared into the sea. Ingres estimated that if there had been no accident, the child named Kumor would have been unsaved.
The old man spun around for a long time, and suddenly looked at Angel: "Stranger, you see that my legs and feet are inconvenient, can you help me go over and see what happened, did Kumor find it?"
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look. Angel didn't refuse, and walked straight to the beach.
The reason why he agreed to the old man's request so happily was because he faintly felt that there were energy fluctuations near the coast, and the location happened to be where everyone was.
When Angels came to the shore, everyone on the shore stared in the direction of the sea.
Following their gaze, I saw a child fluttering on the surface of the water in the shimmering ripples near the sea under the moonlight, his hands and feet slipping and splashing.
From the mouth of the wailing man on the shore, Ingres learns that the child is the vanished Kumor.
"Disappeared for more than half an hour, but still alive. It seems that he was playing a prank before, but he didn't expect it, and now he is doing it himself?" Ingres speculated according to the bear child's train of thought.
However, Ingres didn't pay attention to this, and his eyes were on the back of the child.
The moon happened to be at an angle to the sea, illuminating the sea very brightly, so everyone on the shore could see that a hundred meters behind the child named Kumol, there was a sea beast estimated to be about ten meters long, quietly dormant.
The energy fluctuations that Ingres had sensed before were estimated to have come from this sea beast.
The sea beast looked like a spiked sea lizard, its eyes fierce and bloody, and it kept staring silently at the shore.
"People love fishing, but I didn't expect that one day sea beasts would also fish people. Ingres thought to himself.
The reason why the sea beast didn't touch the kid named Kumor was obviously to catch bigger and more "fish", such as the group of people on the shore.
Is it just that someone will take the bait?
Angel glanced at the people in front of him, all of them with fear in their eyes, and no one moved. Kumor's mother was the only one who was begging for someone to save her baby.
However, no one responded to her request, she couldn't swim herself, and the child's father went to sea and didn't return, and there were no boats around, so in an instant she collapsed to the ground, looking into the distance with a distracted face.
Seeing his own child, struggling in the water but unable to do anything.
At this moment, someone suddenly pointed ahead, only to see a boat of fishing fire floating on the sea: "Hey, a boat has passed!"
Ingres looked up as well, and sure enough, at some point, a small wooden boat with a faint fishing fire swam towards the place where Kumor was struggling.
The fishing boat was covered with a black cloth, and it was difficult to see the details inside, but the surrounding villagers recognized the boat.
"That ship seems to be Lef's!"
Leif Ingres remembered that the old man seemed to have said that Durroux had gone to sea with Leif this morning, could it be this Lef?
Just when Ingres was puzzled, the black cloth on the boat was lifted, and a dark-skinned man walked out with an anxious face.
This man, Ingres is no stranger, it is none other than Durroux.
