Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 6: Spiked Devil Fish
In view of this treacherous experience, Ivan is increasingly looking forward to the fierceness of his body after being promoted to the official knight rank.
"Well, it would be nice if there was a potion supporting the white sail swordsmanship." The dilemma of the original body's lack of resources, even the current Aiwen has to scratch his head, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
After sorting out the goods in the pharmacy, when Ivan locked the door and walked out of the pharmacy, it was already evening. The gas lamps along the street near the central city were all lit, and the clock tower in the city center rang six melodious bells, reminding the citizens of the whole town that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
Aiwen walked through the streets.
Occasionally, I can see well-dressed gentlemen on the side of the road, gracefully taking out the well-made gold and silver pocket watches from his arms, and slowly adjusting the time in the enviable eyes of passers-by.
The invention of miniaturized clocks is not very long now. Pocket watches that are exquisite, compact and easy to carry are a luxury item for most citizens.
Taking out a pocket watch in any social occasion can add a lot of light to the host. Therefore, the pocket watch has been sought after by the middle and high-income class who pay attention to dignity since its inception.
Aiwen was slightly amused when he saw this scene, as if he had found the feeling of showing off his latest fruit phone to friends in his previous life. But proper desire for comparison and vanity are also one of the driving forces of human progress, isn't it?
Ten minutes later, Irvine was already sitting in Daddy York’s small restaurant, enjoying his large portion of cheese steak and mountain mushroom soup. The warm-toned lights shone on the window, and the pedestrians outside the window were also drawn out long shadows.
The father who has worked for a day to return home, the housewife who rushes to the market to pick cheap vegetables, the child who rushes home after playing with him... is full of the breath of life, which is what Ivan has always longed for.
Unfortunately, there is only one person left now.
"My little handsome boy, what are you looking at?" A gentle voice rang in Ivan's ear, and a girl dressed as a waiter put a large glass of butter beer in front of him.
"Sister Lena!!" The girl got a little closer, the plumpness of her chest was slightly pressed on Ivan's shoulders, and the flaming red hair hanging down, itching made the boy's face redden, and she seemed to resist embarrassedly. Teenage molesting behavior.
"Gluck..."
Seeing the desired effect, the red-haired girl named Lena covered her small mouth, like a victorious little hen, turned her head and walked away.
There are many similar experiences in the original memory. The target is not only Lena, the daughter of the tavernkeeper, but also all the girls of school age who live in two nearby streets who think they are somewhat attractive.
Aiwen has a very good physical foundation in this life, tall and handsome, with fair skin, swordsmanship and aristocratic education since childhood, giving him a unique temperament that is different from most of his peers in this era.
And with the awakening of memories of past lives that have transcended the times, this characteristic becomes more obvious. Coupled with owning a pharmacy, it is a typical prosperous family.
All kinds of conditions add up to the young girls who are in love nearby. They are naturally attractive, but most of them don't want to happen to Aiwen, but simply show their charm through him.
Now Ivan’s performance is just continuing the usual style of his predecessor, avoiding showing his feet. The theoretical old driver said that he was not panicked at all! Probably...
"Dingling, Jingling..."
"Welcome! What would the guest want to eat today?" Lena returned to the back kitchen after ordering the new guest neatly and blinked at him when she passed by Aiwen.
Aiwen didn't notice the girl's small movements, but was aroused by the two guests who just came in with a slight fishy smell on her body.
"Is there really such a big fish near the sea?"
"Is there a fake?! The people on the same boat with me have seen it, and many big weird fish are chasing the migratory red-bellied sturgeon all the way around. It's terrible and looks like a devil.
There is also a long red thorn on their tail. Not to mention the body, the thorn alone is longer than the sheriff’s sword. "
The middle-aged sailor who lacked a front tooth was eloquent and talked about his adventures. Even in order to increase credibility, the time, place, and other witnesses were clearly stated to the companions.
I don’t know if his companion believes it, but what he said was heard by a caring person like Ai Wen.
"They are talking like a spiked manta? Did any deep-sea people swim to the sea near Leopold?
唔...It should not be wrong. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be impossible to describe the characteristics of the spiked devil fish in such detail.
If I can get the spiked preparation potion of the devil fish, my physical growth during the knight apprenticeship stage will surely speed up a lot, and then I will have more time to prepare for the promotion of the knight. I was really dozing off and delivered the pillow! "
The spikes of the devil fish are an important raw material for the trainee knight’s auxiliary potion, but because of its unique living habits, it is difficult to obtain through trade. Since escaping to Leopold, even when Grandpa Leo was alive, Ai Wen also never saw the real thing.
If there is no purpose to hunt specifically, even if someone catches a spiked devil in the far sea, no one will save a certain part of this particular fish. Just like dried lizard tails, it is exclusive to certain people who are in the dark.
heard a good news unexpectedly, Ivan was excited, and took a sip of the butter beer on the table. Aiwen feels that today is simply his lucky day. The depression of staying in the pharmacy for several days and not being able to go anywhere has long since disappeared!
early the next morning.
made enough preparations, Ivan didn't even go to the pharmacy, and left Leopold and ran directly to the place where the sailor encountered the spiked devil fish yesterday. In Aiwen's mind, compared with his own Knight Road, the turnover of a mere day is not worth mentioning.
Walking on the road, information related to the spiked devil fish kept emerging in Aiwen's mind.
This unique fish mostly lives in the far sea. It is huge in size and looks strange, but its temperament is not ferocious, and it can even be said to be a little timid. There are only small fishes and shrimps in the recipe, and there are no large land animals like humans.
The spikes on the tail are not used to attack, but when they escape, the spikes will turn red by themselves. While attracting the attention of the enemy, they will fall off like a gecko's tail, creating opportunities for the host.
And this time, Ivan is going to use its "stab to survive" feature to get a spike. After all, although this large fish has a docile temperament, it is placed there, and unless Ivan's brain gets into the water, he will go shirtless and fight with it.
The sky only slightly brightened when we arrived at the coast where the devil fish was infested~IndoMTL.com~Because the news of a huge strange fish appeared in this waters yesterday, it has been widely spread among fishermen. Basically no one is still here today, which also provides convenience for Aiwen's hunting operations.
I was just worried that the group of devil fish would run away ahead of time. Ivan didn't have the opportunity to find an acquaintance to borrow a small sampan that could only work on the seashore. Looking around, there is no fishing boat forgotten by well-wishers here, so he can borrow it temporarily.
But this doesn’t bother Aiwen. He cut down two moderately thick trees on the shore with the axe he carried, and then tied them together with a rope to form an extremely simple single-person "raft."
"Haha, perfect!"
Of course, only those who are skilled and bold like Ai Wen dare to go out to sea on this kind of "raft", even if it is only near the sea where you can see the beach.
Bringing rope and a few stones of suitable size, Ivan set off with a wooden oar cut out with a sword.
rush rush ——
By comparing the description of the sailor with the distance from the coast and the position of the reference object, Ivan quickly reached the place where the fisherman encountered the devil fish yesterday.
took off his clothes, tied a long rope with one end tied to the raft around his waist, tied a dagger on his calf, and jumped into the water.
The seawater at this location is not too deep, and the sun can barely see things. Aiwen directly opened the data-based vision, assisting him to find the group of spiked devil fish that like to lie on the bottom of the sea and wait for rabbits.
If there is no place, return to the surface and continue diving in another place.
Ivan was very patient, and kept repeating the process of diving-watching-returning-changing places-diving again until the fourth time, the data-based vision finally caught the strangeness of the seabed.
