Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land
Chapter 9: The Poor Appraiser Yu Nian
Xi's parents mingled in the huge crowd at the airport to see Xi Sui'an off.
Xi Sui'an packed a suitcase and traveled lightly. She said goodbye to her parents and said cheerfully, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
Xi Yuan sighed: "No matter what, your own safety is the most important thing. Dad will wait for you to come back."
Zhao Ya looked at her daughter tenderly and sighed: "In the blink of an eye, you have reached the age to grow up. If you want to fly, go ahead. I hope you can become an eagle and have your own sky." She had a hunch that this was just the beginning, and she would send her on her journey again and again in the future.
Xi Sui'an clenched her hands and smiled softly: "I will be back during the holidays." She will go to see what she wants to see, pursue the ultimate of this world, and protect this ordinary yet magnificent human world and you.
"Go back, I'm leaving." She waved her hand and pulled her suitcase into the boarding gate. She saw the loss on her parents' faces after they couldn't see her, and the two of them finally left together.
"They're gone." said the system.
"I know." Xi Sui'an walked into the bathroom, threw the suitcase into the ring, took out the backpack and dagger, and equipped everything. When everything was ready, she took out the domain stone, "Our journey is about to begin."
The domain stone shattered silently, and with a flash of light, her figure disappeared in an instant.
She seemed to hear the sound of wind in her ears and opened her eyes in surprise. Before she could open her eyes, she fell into the water with a splash, and there was a big wave.
"..." She quickly adjusted herself and swam upstream, and accidentally choked on some sea water, which was slightly salty. It was sea water.
She fell into the sea? The strong sense of crisis made her adjust her state quickly. She looked around and at one glance, her mind was immediately shocked.
The sky was full of bright and dazzling stars, and a huge moon was slowly sinking. The huge moon was hundreds or thousands of times larger than the ones seen in the human world, and it made her breathe pause.
The sky is filled with a soft and peaceful lavender, gentle and beautiful.
"I can't determine the direction at all, where is this?" Xi Sui'an had a headache, "How did I fall into the sea!" She shouldn't have fallen into the water and turned into a box.
The system made a judgment and then remained silent for a moment: "This is the Lost Sea, the territory of the Sea Clan. The Domain Stone must have been teleported randomly, not point-to-point!"
Random teleport? Yi Luowen really is, this is his real test! Xi Sui'an gritted his teeth.
"The time in the foreign land is equal to the flow rate in the outside world. We should be able to make it, so there is no need to worry about it. But now we have to get away from here and get ashore as soon as possible." The system was worried.
Xi Sui'an stared at the twinkling stars in the sky, and saw that the stars seemed to be twinkling faster and faster: "...System, do you feel that... there is something wrong with these stars?"
The system exclaimed, "Fuck, I almost forgot, these are not stars!" It said in a tense voice, "The stars and moon on the Lost Sea are all fake. Since all the sea gods fell asleep, the Sirens and the Mermaids have all migrated to the Lost Sea. The Mermaids have relied on precious Mermaid Tears and Mermaid Veils as well as rare items on the seabed to open up trade routes on the sea, engage in maritime trade, and gradually control the Lost Sea."
Xi Sui'an raised his eyebrows. He seems to have quite a business sense.
"Of course, the Sirens did not sit still and wait for death. Their cohesion was not as strong as that of the mermaids. They were brave and aggressive and very good at confusing people. The strong power of each individual made them act without scruples. They liked to rob the trade ships of the mermaids very much, so the two tribes fought back and forth. These stars were the surveillance eyes set up by the mermaids to prevent the trade routes from being attacked by the Sirens."
"……"Why would the Siren do anything else but engage in pirate activities?
"But the good thing is that we should be rescued soon, and the bad thing is that we may fall into the hands of the mermaids." The system judged.
Sure enough, after a while, Xi Sui'an saw a small island appear in his sight and move rapidly in this direction.
"Is this a moving island?" Xi Sui'an blinked.
"Yes and no. This is a patrolling whale. It is huge and not good at fighting. The mermaids don't have the technology to build ships, so they signed a contract with the patrolling whales. The mermaids use them as ships for trade, and the mermaids protect and provide for them to maintain the reproduction of the tribe. This has become a major feature of the Lost Sea, and many races come here to visit."
"..." So pitiful, this mermaid has the potential to be a black-hearted capitalist. There are trades with all races, and even if the mermaids have plans, they will consider it carefully to avoid offending all races, which greatly reduces the probability of accidents. The mermaids are simply using them as free ships.
Although the patrolling whale was huge, its swimming speed was not slow. It was not until it got closer that Xi Sui'an realized that it was even bigger than the blue whale she had seen before.
The streamlined body is huge, with buildings of all sizes scattered among the swaying marine plants. These buildings are made of snails and shells, and there are also herb huts built on the huge marine plants. The patrolling whale's tail slowly rises and falls, and you can see the waves scattered and crystal clear, and some sea water splashes like rain. From a distance, it is really magnificent and dreamy.
"It's so big, why call it a patrol whale? It's better to just call it a patrol ship." Xi Sui'an murmured, "The mermaids have really high taste." This will definitely attract a lot of customers.
A shadow quickly ran towards her, floated up under her, and after her feet touched solid ground, she couldn't help but fall down and breathed a sigh of relief: "If nothing supports me, I will really sink to death in the sea." She moved her fingers, and the touch was smooth. She looked down and saw that there were no scales, and the back was dotted with glowing spots, like scattered stars, which was very beautiful.
"Is this... a manta ray?" she wondered.
"This is a starlight ray, but it has some intelligence and is a subsidiary of the mermaids." The system said in a serious voice, "When you get on the patrolling whale, host, you'd better not reveal your nature as a country bumpkin entering the city, otherwise you will probably be taken advantage of by the mermaids."
"..." The country bumpkin was speechless, "He is a student of Damocles Academy?"
The system hesitated for a moment: "Maybe... they will kill more people." They will let you see more of the evil of the various races. "The mermaids are not a kind race, host, don't use a filter."
A mermaid sat on the fin of a patrolling whale, with a flawless face and a very gentle face. Her long hair was flowing, and the ends of her hair were gradually dyed with the color of the deep sea. Her light blue eyes were slightly curved, revealing a watery smile.
The mermaid's tail soaking in the water is raised, and the scales on the moonlight tail are as translucent as delicate crystal. The long tail fin is as flowing as gauze. The moment it falls, it turns into a pair of straight white legs. In an instant, the raised skirt changes and floats down, as beautiful as a flower, touching the heart.
...Xi Sui'an touched his chest and said lightly: "I suspect she is seducing me, but I have no evidence." I am a woman.
The system smiled wryly: "In the eyes of the mermaids, all are human, regardless of gender." They are a race that caters to both men and women.
Xi Sui'an twitched the corners of his mouth.
The mermaid stretched out her slender hand: "I thought it was the mermaids causing trouble again, but it turned out to be a human. Come up first." She held Xi Sui'an's hand, and a flash of light appeared on her fingertips, and the drowned chicken became refreshed and clean again.
The other party pulled her onto the fish fin and then threw a red gem-like crystal into the water. The starlight ray caught it in one bite, shook its tail and sank into the sea.
She looked back, and the system in her mind explained: "This is an underwater volcanic rock, which condenses some fire essence. The special thing is that it does not exclude sea people. Sea people can use it to temper their original power. This mermaid gave it as a reward."
"Is it valuable?" She stared intently.
"It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either." The system thought, "After all, only the sea people can mine this kind of underwater volcanic rock."
Xi Sui'an seemed to be thinking about something.
"I am the Moon of the Mermaid Tribe," she said with a smile, "Just call me Moon. I don't know what your name is, and how did you get to this Lost Sea?"
The gentle voice was pleasant to the ears, like the plucking of a musical string. Xi Sui'an secretly admired: It's beautiful, the voice is so nice!
But this did not affect Xi Sui'an from secretly raising her vigilance to the highest level. She believed that even though the system's reminders might not be comprehensive, they were definitely justified.
"I am a human explorer, and I am out exploring with my elders." She did not intend to say that she was a new student of Damocles, and she made up a fake identity without changing her expression. "I was accidentally teleported to this Lost Sea."
A sincere smile appeared on her face: "You can call me Yu Nian." Peace and prosperity every year. It's a very good and suitable name. I have to tell Qingqing that she is not bad at naming.
Yueliang chewed on her name for a while and said, "Yu Nian, come up with me first. We are the safest place in the Lost Sea."
She walked in front, leading the way, her bare feet stepping on the wet fins, light and silent. As she walked, Yueliang introduced: "This is the patrolling whale of the mermaid tribe. This time they are holding a patrol auction, and you happen to be on our route."
Auction, it seems that there should be a lot of forces coming. Xi Sui'an muttered to herself: It's a pitfall for her to get on a patrolling whale at an auction with only a hundred dollars.
Thinking of the system, her eyes turned and a plan came to her mind: "What a coincidence?" She deliberately showed a surprised smile.
"Oh?" Yueyue's eyes moved, but her smile remained unchanged. "What a coincidence?"
"My family is also in business, and I've seen a lot since I was a child, so I became an appraiser in an auction house." Xi Sui'an scratched her head shyly, "A few days ago, I heard an explorer's elder describe his wonderful experiences during the expedition, and I got excited and went out on an adventure with him, but we got separated. After all, I am a qualified appraiser, but not a qualified explorer." Her smile became awkward.
"Ah, that's fate." Yueliang covered her mouth and laughed softly, looking very happy. She said proudly, "Many appraisers are here this time. After all, our mermaids hold a parade auction every ten years, once a month. Many races come to broaden their horizons. This is much more fun than any expedition."
One parade, twelve auctions, the scale sounds quite large.
Xi Sui'an became interested.
The moon led her to the largest building on the cruising whale. The building was circular and three-dimensional, a bit like the Tujia buildings she had seen, but it was carved from crystal and decorated with various exotic shells, and dotted with seaweed and exotic flowers around it. It was gorgeous and dreamy.
There were two very handsome male mermaids at the door. They bowed to the moon and glanced in surprise at Xi Sui'an, who was wearing something out of place behind them.
"Yes, this is our auction house this month. Would you like to go in and take a look?" Yueliang turned her head and said.
"It would be disrespectful to refuse." Xi Sui'an nodded. This was a good place for her to get to know foreign countries.
Yueliang took her hand and walked in. The mermaid at the door was about to say something but stopped herself. She paused, remembering something, "If I rescue you, the entrance fee to the parade will be waived, but it's hard to waive the entrance fee to the auction."
She blinked, her eyes clear, "Not much, 100 crystal coins."
