Chapter 789 Small Fishing Village
What Jiebo was thinking about was actually the alchemist he knew, or in other words, the unspoken rules that alchemists showed to the outside world.
These are certainly true, but Jiebo does not understand that Angel's path as an alchemist is very different from other orthodox inheritances. He has received almost no formal alchemy teaching. Even though Angel understood some of the hidden rules, he was never forced to do so, so he basically followed his own mood.
For example, he would write the alchemy notes at the end of the alchemy process, but he would always record his doubts in the refining process and some shortcomings that could be improved in the future. He did not describe the refining process in as much detail as other alchemists. Record it.
If Jiebo had spent more time with Angel, he would probably have discovered these eyebrow details, but now, his understanding could only follow the rules of traditional alchemists.
After listening to Jiebo's words, Sliu naturally knew what he wanted to express, but after he said "hmm", he continued to ask Jiebo to follow Angel without changing his face; it was like all the things Jiebo said before Words are all empty nonsense.
Jiebo was confused and didn't understand why Sliu wanted him to continue to follow Angel.
If it was because he wanted to drive him away and not get involved in the current conflicts in Song of the Deep Sea, the worst he could do was not go back. The world is so big, where can't he go?
Faced with Jiebo's questions, Sliu didn't want to answer. After all, his relationship with Jiebo had always been superficial. However, because the mysterious object was stolen, he has been ostracized by the core of Song of the Deep Sea. At this time, the only thing he can rely on is the help of the sea god Florence.
Therefore, Sliu 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..."
Jiebo frowned: "Where is the mentor now? Why don't I tell the mentor directly? In the worst case, I won't go back, and I can just stay in Felan Continent."
Sliu shook his head: "Lord Poseidon has returned to Song of the Deep Sea and is mediating with people from Dongsai's group. It is impossible for him to reply to your words." After a pause, Sliu added: "Because of this, the mission has not been lifted. Before that, you should just continue to follow me.”
Jiebo said expressionlessly: "However, I have become closer to him."
"Oh?" Sliu was surprised and asked curiously: "How did you do it to get closer so quickly?"
Jiebo talked about his recent experience at the Ocean Mansion, and his words were quite proud.
Sliu: "..."
"Is this what you call getting closer? This is simply a normal exchange of interests!" Sliu did not give Jiebo any room for negotiation and directly ordered: "Continue to follow him."
After saying that, Sliu immediately closed the contact, leaving Jiebo with an ugly face.
At this time, Bai, who had been hiding in the darkness, appeared: "Sir, do we want to go find Mr. Pat now?"
Jiebo pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Go! But I will go alone. You continue to stay here and wait for Lord Sliu's order."
After Jiebo finished speaking, he walked out of the Ocean Mansion with a grim expression.
On the other side, Angel had already flown away from the territory of the Anjou Dynasty on a gondola and entered the wild area in the middle.
At the beginning of night, Angel arrived in the territory of Green Rose Country.
The journey went smoothly. Angel flew directly to the Marcel neighborhood of Yuese City in a gondola, causing many mortals to exclaim and kneel down along the way.
Angel could still faintly hear them shouting Marcel.
However, Angel ignored it and found Alvin's home.
At this time, Alvin had returned from the capital of the Green Rose Country. Angel greeted him and asked about Duru's whereabouts.
From Alvin, Angel learned that Dulu was still in the small fishing village and had not come to him. After Angel inquired about the location of the small fishing village, he drove the gondola and flew away from Yuese City.
When the stars adorned the night with their brilliance, Angel also followed the guidance of the stars and came to a quiet small fishing village by the sea.
A little fishing fire floats on the sea. It is the light lit by fishermen returning from fishing in the outer sea. In the village, smoke was floating in the air, and children were playing in the village. It was so quiet and beautiful that it felt like a world away from home.
Angel found an uninhabited land and landed from the sky.
Then he walked slowly towards the village. Not long after walking, he encountered a group of people hurriedly running out of the village. Most of them were women or elderly people who stayed at home.
They spoke Common Tongue with an accent, and seemed to be calling a name called "Kumor".
When they came to the outside of the village and saw Angel, a strange visitor, they just looked at him for a moment, then ignored him and continued rushing outside, seemingly looking for someone.
There was only an old man holding a cane, but he was left at the entrance of the village because the road outside was full of gravel and his legs and feet were inconvenient. When he saw Angel, he came over in confusion: "Hey, who are you... I don't think I have seen you in the village?"
Angel: "I'm just a traveler. I came to the small fishing village to find someone."
"Traveler?" The old man smacked his lips for a long time and pursed his lips: "Who are you looking for?"
"Duru."
"Duru...oh, you're talking about the boy from the Scott family, right? His home is over there." The old man was stunned, and pointed to the wooden house behind a coconut garden not far away.
Angel just glanced and whispered, "He's not at home."
The old man nodded, thinking that Angel had judged that Dulu was not at home because the lights inside were not on. "Yes, I heard that he went fishing with Leif this morning and he will probably be back soon."
The old man was very interested in chatting. He didn't care whether Angel's identity was unreasonable or whether he was a good person or a bad person. He started talking about Dulu and then talked about Leif.
Angel had nothing to do for the time being, so he didn't interrupt him and listened to him with interest.
But not long after, a scream suddenly came from the sea.
The old man was suddenly stunned, turned his head and looked in the direction of the sea, then slapped his head suddenly: "Oh, I was chatting with you just now, how could I forget that there is no news about Kumer! Why is the kid from the Hemp family calling, could it be that Kumer... is in trouble?"
The old man was anxious and turned around, praying that everything would be safe.
Angel roughly restored the incident from his mumbling.
It turned out that a group of children ran to the beach to play, and then somehow, a group of naughty children competed in diving to find shells. Finally, everyone else came back, but found that a man named Kumor was missing. They ran back to the village crying, and the adults were anxious when they heard it. They all put down their work and rushed out.
It has been half an hour since Kumor disappeared in the sea. Angel estimated that if there was no accident, this child named Kumor would probably have been saved.
The old man turned around for a long time, and suddenly looked at Angel: "Foreigner, you see that my legs are inconvenient, can you help me go over and see what happened, and whether Kumor has been found?"
"Okay, I'll go over and see." Angel did not refuse, and walked directly to the beach.
The reason why he agreed to the old man's request so readily was because he vaguely felt that there was energy fluctuation near the coast, and the location happened to be where everyone was.
When Angel came to the coast, everyone on the shore was stunned and stared at the direction of the sea.
Following their gaze, I saw a child struggling in the water under the moonlight, his hands and feet sliding around and splashing water.
From the crying people on the shore, Angel learned that the child was the missing Kumor.
"He disappeared for more than half an hour, but he is still alive. It seems that he was playing a prank before? Unexpectedly, he got what he deserved now?" Angel speculated according to the child's thinking.
However, Angel didn't pay attention to this, and his eyes were on the back of the child.
The moon happened to be at an angle with the sea surface, illuminating the sea surface very brightly, so everyone on the coast could see that a hundred meters behind the child named Kumor, there was a sea beast estimated to be ten meters in size, quietly dormant.
The energy fluctuations that Angel had sensed before were probably from this sea beast.
This sea beast looked like a sea lizard with spikes, its eyes were ferocious and bloody, and it kept staring at the coast quietly.
"People like fishing, but I never thought that one day sea beasts would also fish for people." Angel thought to himself.
The reason why the sea beast did not touch the child named Kumor was obviously to catch bigger and more "fish", such as the group of people on the shore.
But will anyone take the bait?
Angel glanced at the people in front of him. They all had fear in their eyes and no one moved. Only Kumor's mother was begging for help everywhere, hoping that someone could save her child.
However, no one responded to her request. She herself could not swim, and the child's father had not returned from the sea. There were no boats around. In an instant, she collapsed to the ground and looked at the distance with a dazed face.
Watching her child struggling in the water but unable to do anything.
At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the front, and saw a boat of fishing lights floating on the sea: "Hey, there is a boat passing by!"
Angel also looked up, and sure enough, at some point, a small wooden boat with a faint fishing light swam towards the place where Kumor was struggling.
The fishing boat was covered with a black cloth, so the details inside could not be seen clearly, but the surrounding villagers recognized the boat.
"That boat seems to be Leif's boat!"
Leif? Angel remembered that the old man seemed to have said that Dulu went out to sea with Leif this morning. Could it be this Leif?
Just when Angel was puzzled, the black cloth on the boat was lifted, and a dark-skinned man walked out with an anxious look on his face.
This man was not unfamiliar to Angel, it was Dulu.
