Blue Star
Chapter 12 Mermaid Meat
The discussion in the meeting has no results, just like every time a new breakthrough is discovered, it will always stay at the checkpoint that cannot be exited.
All the unknown problems seem to come from the wild, but since two cities were destroyed by monster invasion 200 years ago, no one has really entered the forest.
The knowledge of creatures and plants known to the tribe is lacking, and the books that they can flip through are mostly fantasies, which are not as effective as the research notes recorded by the elders themselves.
Gu Li left the conference hall, sat on the rail car and looked at the Goddess Pillar in the first urban area, which was drifting away.The current crystal mines that can benefit mankind in the continent all come from the bottom of the Goddess Pillar, and what they can dig is just one of them in the ancient continent.As for the understanding of the other five divine pillars, it can be said that there is no clue.
A few years ago, he had fantasized about using the floating magnetic field of fluorite to go to the vicinity of other divine pillars, but every time he failed.
Once the distance of fluorite exceeds 50 meters, it will lose control unless it acts together like a big ship going out to sea.It's just that all the dangers in the jungle are unknown, and he can't guarantee safety like a sailing ship.
The object held up by the fluorite can only float three meters above the ground without the manipulation of the wizard.Even with a wizard escort, it can only reach a maximum of six meters.
And in the town where they live, the magnetic field is strong enough to make objects fly into the air when there are tall buildings.But even so, the highest can only reach 50 meters, and it is still the case that a large number of buildings are inlaid with fluorite on the top floor.
The rail car stopped at the gate of the third district, and he went to the nearest store to buy two suits.
My brother will definitely not let him investigate the salamander, and the military inspection is too dazzling.If he was a prisoner hiding infected bodies, he would have hidden everything before the army showed up.
If you want to know the real reason, you still have to visit privately.
After passing the fifth city port, he glanced at the place where Iris was stocked.Although it was still early before the appointment with Iris, just in case, he decided to bring Iris with him.
If some of the hidden infected bodies have not been discovered, it will be much more convenient to have Iris around.
He walked to the corner of the port and squatted down, turned the crystal ring and stretched his hand into the sea.Affected by the magnetic field, the light of the crystal mineral ring will soon shine below ten meters.
After a while, Iris' figure appeared.The dots of blue light on the tail of the fish can be clearly seen through the sea water even in daytime.
The mermaid's diving speed was very fast. To him, a distance of ten meters was like taking two or three steps on flat ground.Dark blue messy hair, all stuck to the cheeks and neck under the humidity of the sea.On his wrist was the nautical pocket watch he had given, but it looked like it had been completely broken.
"Gu Li." Iris called him.
Gu Li went to the crevice of the rock in the corner and took out the bath towel that Iris had hidden, and threw it on the mermaid, saying, "Hurry up and dry off, change your clothes, and I'll take you to a place."
Usually, most of the fishermen in the port would go to sea at this time, but recently, because of the heavy rain for days and occasional magnetic field out-of-control incidents, no one would come to the port.
Gu Li set up a small space to block the rain around the two of them, and the rainwater formed a vague water film around them like washing away a sphere.
Iris went ashore from the sea without hesitation, and changed from a mermaid to a human body in front of him.If he wasn't wearing clothes, he would think nothing of it, but once he became a human...
He turned his back, handed another suit back, and said, "Change to this one, you don't need to wear the previous robe."
When choosing, he deliberately bought one size up, and he didn't know if it would fit.
Taking over the suit was like putting on shoes for the first time for Iris. Clothes worn in different ways seem to be more difficult than Gu Li's robes.
Gu Li turned his back and waited for a long time, then asked, "Are you ready?"
The sound of Iris breathing was muffled by the cloth, Gu Li turned around to check.I saw that the trousers worn on the legs were covered with a stuffed head around the neck. This is the suit pants as the hood and neck of his robe.Other than that, however, he was well dressed, except that his shirt was unbuttoned.
Gu Li laughed for a while, took off the trousers around his neck and stretched them open, and said, "Lift your legs, these are worn on your legs."
This is really his fault. The wizard robes given to Iris before were all spacious coats, and it would be good to buckle a belt at most after wearing them.
Iris looked at him hesitantly, after all, he was a mermaid who was used to being free.I am not very used to walking on two legs, and now I have to wear cloth on these two human legs, I am afraid that walking will only be more difficult.
Seeing that he refused, Gu Li said, "If you don't wear pants, you can only stay in the sea."
Iris should understand, and after frowning, he took the pants and put them on.
Gu Li looked at the zipper on the suit pants, and sighed helplessly: "Next time, I will buy you another size."
Reaching out to help zip it up, and then buttoning the shirt tightly.When Gu Li looked up again, the way Iris looked at him had obviously changed.
Wearing pants with a zipper, it is inevitable that the back of the hand will be touched. Gu Li forgot that the thinking of mermaids cannot be understood in the same way as humans.
Looking at Iris who was approaching him, he quickly covered Iris' mouth with his eyes and hands, and said, "I said that I am not your spouse, so get rid of this idea as soon as possible."
I don't know if Iris really didn't understand or pretended not to understand. He stuck out his tongue and licked the palm of his hand, and approached him with his palm.
"Gu Li, I like it."
The voice was muffled under the palm of his hand, and there was moisture in his eyes, which should be sea water that hadn't been wiped off.
Gu Li: "Who taught you?"
He never told Iris what liking meant!Did he hear it from other people while he was out of port?
Withdrew his hand in a hurry and said, "Keep half a meter away from me, don't come close."
Iris stood obediently and waited for him to walk for a while before slowly following him.It's just that it's the first time I'm wearing pants, and I still can't get used to the tightness, and my walking posture has returned to the awkwardness before.
By the time he arrived at the busiest street in the fifth city, Iris was so uncomfortable that he wanted to tear his pants.He didn't hesitate to touch the zipper on his trousers, but before he could do it, Gu Li stopped him sharply: "Don't touch it, if you take it off, you will be sent back to the sea."
This trick really worked, Iris withdrew his hand honestly and did not continue.
Away from the port coast and the market place, most of the places around here are places for entertainment for adults.Although the fifth town is mostly patrolling troops, they turn a blind eye to this place.
Human beings have to face too much pain, if there is not even a place to relax, they will probably be driven crazy long ago.
Most of the colors of lighting crystals are white and yellow as the standard, but here, people prefer to use bright colors as decorations.
The pleasant piano sound came from the end of the street, and he could occasionally hear a little about the rules of this bar.It is said that there is no business they dare not accept.
Perhaps about the salamander, the answer can be found here.
The floor of the bar looks very high, but in fact there is only the ground floor inside.There are mostly mechanical shelves inlaid with fluorite on the top, and dancers will stand on these shelves to set off the atmosphere after a certain time.
Eleven o'clock in the morning, this time is not the best time to come to the bar for recreational people.In the hall, there were wine-tasting guests sparsely sitting in twos and threes, and only a piano player and an accordion player sat on the dance floor, which was quite different from the liveliness of the night.
Gu Li took Iris to the bar, didn't look at the wine list, just ordered two drinks and sat down to observe.
I have heard people say that most of the bars in the fifth town are people doing prohibited business. Many businessmen who are not allowed outside will choose to come here to negotiate prices. I don’t know if they can meet at this time.
The bartender handed the wooden wine glass to him and Iris, and asked with a smile, "Looking for someone?"
Gu Li stretched out his hand to hold Iris' curious hand, looking like a guest who wanted to enjoy, and asked the bartender: "I want to eat something that can't be eaten outside."
The bartender stood up straight, took a glass at hand and wiped it, "It's too late, I can't eat anything now. The patriarch issued a death order, and if you eat raw meat, you will be quarantined."
Gu Li's identity is currently unknown to many people, and it was only at the beginning of this year that he took over the work of the elder.
He pretended to ask: "Why is this? I have only stayed at home for three days, why has the outside changed so much?"
With that said, he picked up the wooden wine glass and took a sip, "The wine is not bad."
Iris on the side followed suit, took the cup given to him, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.Before Gu Li could stop him, Iris poured the whole glass of slightly sweet liquor down his stomach.
What's interesting is that it's not as disgusting as when eating noodles, and even a little bit unfinished.
The bartender was used to seeing all kinds of people coming to drink, so he didn't find it strange.He took the wine bottle at hand and refilled a glass for Iris.
"Sir, I'm afraid you don't know what happened last night?"
Gu Li became interested, "I heard that the magnetic field of the crystal mine is out of control, and monsters from the periphery have invaded."
The bartender looked at him, lowered his voice and said, "It's not an invasion, it's someone smuggling infected bodies."
Gu Li frowned slightly, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.My brother didn't let the elders announce the salamander to the outside world, but the speed of word of mouth was not much slower than the announcement.
"How did this happen? Could it be that the anti-social personality wanted revenge?" Gu Li asked pretendingly while drinking.
The bartender didn't shy away, and continued, "Don't you know, sir, that Zhong Huaide hid the mermaid?"
Gu Li's heart trembled slightly, he only told a few elders in the clan about the mermaid, why did it spread outside?
He said with a smile: "The mermaid story is just a legend, how could it possibly exist for real. Besides, Zhong Huaide is already dead, and going to sea is only this time recently."
The bartender looked around, and after making sure there were no extra people, he whispered: "It's true, and someone who ate mermaid meat was really cured successfully. Once it is confirmed that there are no sequelae, the price will be higher than those and it is useless It is used to suppress crystal powder tubes."
Inhibition crystal powder has always been distributed for free, when did it become expensive?But he was afraid of revealing his secrets, so Gu Li didn't ask.
Secondly, in his impression, the only mermaid brought ashore was Iris, and he had never heard of any mermaid brought back by a fisherman who went out to sea.Moreover, every time the sea cargo enters the port, it will be inspected by the army, and there is no possibility of mistakes.
He thought of the boy who appeared on Zhong Huaide's boat.Judging from the appearance of the infection, it is indeed closer to the posture of a mermaid, shouldn't it be...
"Secretizing the infected body must be to test the sequelae of eating mermaid meat."
After the bartender finished speaking, seeing that Iris's glass was empty again, he refilled another glass.But when he was about to pour the wine, he suddenly noticed an abnormality on the back of Iris' hand.
Gu Li hurriedly raised his hand to cover it, because of the stimulation of alcohol, Iris couldn't control the tiny scales on the back of his hand.Gu Li looked nervously at the bartender, if he was reported, all plans would be disrupted!Alcohol can stimulate the cells, how could he forget!
The bartender was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "No wonder you chose this time to come to the bar. I thought you were here to investigate privately. It turned out that you were also looking for mermaid meat."
Gu Li didn't answer. Judging from what he said, what the bartender told him just now was just a test.
The bartender took out an invitation letter from his pocket and put it in front of Gu Li, saying: "People close to me are infected, and I would try my best to hide it. The group of people in Ke Erqi will only Treat our loved ones like animals."
The bartender approached Gu Li and said, "Come again after twelve o'clock in the evening, the underground auction house welcomes the same kind."
