Chapter 361: Fishing Time
After knowing the truth of the matter, the burden in Nebula and Brad's hearts was finally let go.
It turns out that there are no witches, all of this is made up by Photan and others.
By this time, the wind and snow had long since stopped, and the stars and moon were also revealed with the dispersed clouds
Nebula and the others began to set up a campfire in the open space outside Barbara's house, grilling and barbecue, and talking about various adventures and anecdotes with their companions.
It may have been a long time since she had encountered such a lively scene, and Barbara, who looked a little cold on the surface, couldn't help but join Nebula and their bonfire party.
Under the bright moonlight, everyone ate the barbecue they roasted by themselves, drank the hot tea made by Grandma Barbara, and sang a few songs and danced from time to time.
It seems so happy, like a big family
The next day-
"Hmm~~~ My head hurts, I should have only drunk a glass of wheat wine yesterday!?" Nebula slowly massaged his temples as he struggled to get up from the bed.
Xingyun rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened his eyes dimly, looked around, and found that the people who should have been lying on the ground were gone!
"Chiyura-Brad-Nora-Assers!! Hey~~~~ Are you there? Nebula immediately shouted loudly in the room.
Hey!? Why aren't they in the house? Did they abandon themselves and go back first??
Nebula anxiously put on his shoes and ran out of the house in search of his unknown companion, only to collide with Nora at the door, and the two rolled down the steps of the gate into the snow.
Nora rubbed her ass and yelled at Nebula, "Hey! Nebula, can you be careful? If it weren't for the snow on the ground, I would have been seriously injured. ”
"I'm sorry! Sister Nora, I'll be sure to pay attention next time. By the way, where did the Brad and the others go? Why didn't I see them!? Nebula rubbed her sore head, apologized to Nora, and asked her about the whereabouts of her companions.
As if remembering something, Nora grabbed Nebula and led Nebula towards an ice path, explaining to Nebula as she walked, "We went a little too much last night, and we ate all the food stored in Grandma Barbara's house. In order to make today's lunch a good one, the old lady asked us to go to the unpolluted sea area to catch a few fish to cook. Brad, Chiyura and Assers have already gone first. I had just gone outside to get some firewood and was about to call for you to come along, only to run into you at the door. ”
"Fishing, yes? It seems to be fun! I've never fished before!? Nebula said excitedly to Nora.
Nora looked at the jumping Nebula and shook her head helplessly, fish are not caught if you want to, without the corresponding fishing knowledge, it must be difficult to catch fish in this cold glacier area.
If his guess is correct, Brad and the others, who set off two hours ago, may not know
After a while, Nebula and Nora arrived at the clean waters Barbara had mentioned, and saw Chiyura, Brad, and Assers sitting in a small boat by the sea, holding the fishing tools Barbara had prepared, and several of them sitting on the edge of the boat, fishing with rods and rods.
"Hey! How many of you, have you gained anything? Nebula asked loudly at the three of them in the shape of a trumpet.
The three of them glanced at each other, then shook their heads in unison
Nora directly raised her forehead and sighed, they can't even do something as simple as fishing!?
Forget about Chiyura and Brad, after all, one of them lives in the desert of Ariante, and the other lives in an abandoned city, so it's understandable that they can't fish.
And Axel is a pirate!! Pirates who grew up by the sea can't even fish? It's a big world, and there's no wonder
With the help of the raft they left on the shore, Nebula and Nora managed to board the ship.
Nora immediately snatched Chiyura's fishing rod, reloaded the bait, and threw it back into the sea.
"Ash, there isn't much bait left on your hook at all, maybe it will fall apart when you throw it down, pay attention when you fish in the future, it is impossible for a fish to be hooked without bait. Let's take a good look at how Miss Ben fishes," Nora said, and then she turned over and hurdled, sat down expertly on the edge of the boat, and began to catch the fish with her rod.
After ten minutes, there seemed to be movement on the surface of the water, and the fish drift moved slightly.
Nora's idle eyes suddenly became focused, and she watched the fish float intently, deducing whether the fish had taken the bait or not.
After a few seconds, the surface of the water began to ripple, and then the fish float suddenly sank and the rod began to shake!!
"Hey!!" With a loud shout, Nora used all her strength to quickly pull the rod upwards.
A wild minoan fish with a lively Lena was caught by Nora, but the fly in the ointment was that the fish was only the size of a nebula's palm, and it was clearly still in its juvenile stage.
"Alas, this fish is so small, I can't bear to eat it, I let it go, let's catch it again!!" Nora carefully removed the juvenile minoan from the hook and released it back into the sea.
After seeing this scene, both Brad and Chiyura were puzzled, and Brad asked Nora, "Isn't this size a fish delicious even if it's fried!?" Catch a few more of these small fish and make a dish! Why did you put it away? ”
Nora just snorted coldly and didn't answer Brad's question, they carnivores don't understand at all!
The release of small fish is necessary both from the perspective of ecological reproduction and from the aspect of the kindness that people have.
"That sister Nora, you caught the little fish, and you have no problem releasing it, but what about our lunch?" Chiyura hesitated for a moment, then asked Nora timidly.
Nora also frowned and thought about the question, there were still about three hours before lunch, and in addition to the hour of cooking, then she still had two hours to spare.
Even if you are lucky and catch big fish, will you be able to catch enough fish to feed everyone in two hours?
At that moment, Nebula slowly walked out of the cabin bare-chested, barefoot, and wearing blue swimming trunks.
Nebula smiled at his companions and said, "Since everyone can't catch a big fish, then it's up to me to go down and catch it!" I'll be sure to catch a few big fish and make fish soup for you!! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nebula plunged into the sea and began to look for fish.
"Hey~~~ The sea area here is the Lena Strait glacier area!! The sea temperature is cold enough to freeze!! Nebula, is this guy okay? Nora asked worriedly about Brad and Assers.
Axes stroked his chin and said: "If it were me, I could use Dou Qi to protect my body and greatly reduce the invasion of cold, but this guy Xingyun seems to be a magician, even if the magician raises his magic shield, he can only resist a small amount of low temperature, Xingyun, is he really fine?" Chiyura, aren't you Nebula's henchman? You should know something, right!? ”
"Hmm~~~ Lord Nebula is an ice magician, so he should be able to have some resistance to the cold, right!? Ever since I met Lord Nebula, I hadn't heard him say cold. Chiyura thought for a moment and told the group his speculation.
Brad shook his head and retorted to Chiyura: "Elemental resistance is a elemental resistance that can only be possessed after becoming an ice magister at level seventy, no matter how talented Nebula is, it is impossible to have the elemental resistance of the ice attribute in advance. However, Nebula should have other ways to restrain the cold, otherwise he would not have jumped directly into the sea with a temperature of almost zero so recklessly. ”
A few minutes later, a bunch of bubbles suddenly gushed out of the sea, and just as everyone was wondering what was going on, several blue-white lightning bolts suddenly shot out from the sea.
When the sea surface returned to calm, everyone was surprised to find that dozens of wild fish the size of an adult's forearm floated on the sea.
Immediately afterward, Nebula poked his head out of the water, shook the water from his hair vigorously, and then smiled at his companions and said, "How is it?" It's easier for me than fishing, isn't it!? ”
After scooping up the big fish that were floating on the surface of the water and being corona one by one, Nebula teleported back to the boat.
Seeing that Nebula returned to the ship, Nora brought a towel from the cabin and wiped the seawater off Nebula's body, and she asked Nebula very puzzled: "Since you can use lightning magic, why don't you use it directly on the ship, and what are you going to do in the water?" Isn't it a shame to be guilty of such cold weather? ”
"Sister Nora, didn't you say you were going to release the little fish? If I were to release lightning directly on the boat and into the sea, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between big fish and small fish, right!? In order not to hurt the small fish, I had to go into the water. Nebula replied with a chuckle at Nora.
Nora was speechless for a moment
★?????????????????? ★
The group returned to Grandma Barbara's house with fresh, fatty fish
In a short time, Barbara made a pot full of fresh fish soup and let everyone eat with their bellies open.
The meal was full, and because they were overeaten, everyone could only sit on their chairs temporarily and chat with each other while resting.
"Grandma, you don't have to risk being wronged to do this! Wouldn't you just be able to make things clear to them? When talking about Grandma Barbara's kindness, Nebula asked Barbara in confusion.
Barbara shook her head and replied to Nebula, "I've lived in this place for decades, and those penguins, Alaskan dogs, and walruses have never gotten along. It's always been fighting, and it's never stopped. Then, suddenly, one day. They actually reconciled with each other!? I thought it was very strange, so I went to inquire, who would have thought that those guys said that they were going to catch witches! Who is the witch? It's me!! They said they were going to arrest me! These guys, feed them, raise them, and now they are saying they want to arrest me!? ”
Hearing this, Nebula's doubts did not increase but decreased, at this time, just come forward to explain, isn't it over? Explain to penguins, Alaskan dogs, and walruses that you're not a witch.
"At first, I thought it was ridiculous, and I didn't take it to heart. There is a degree of ingratitude, isn't it to say that I am a witch? But then I think about it, as long as I don't say anything, those guys don't fight each other, do they? It's been a long time for them to join forces, and I don't want to break them up," Barbara said slowly, speaking to Nebula and the others, her voice so calm that it wasn't her own business.
Hearing the hidden story behind the legend of the witch, Nora was so moved that she sobbed softly, and Nebula and the others also sighed.
Who would have thought that Barbara endured the stigma of witches in order to keep the penguins, Alaskan dogs and walrus clans united, it was simply poignant
(Well~~~ I like fishing more, so I accidentally wrote more about the plot of fishing, so everyone minds)
