Chapter 229 Catch the Sea

Catch the sea, a traditional activity in the city of Lenc, which can be traced back to the time when the city was first established. From a certain perspective, this is a festival unique to the city of Lenc.

On this day, under the leadership of the officials, almost every household will sail out to sea. They fight with the waves to show their tenacity. They hunt the most ferocious sea beasts and show their bravery. And the one who gained the most from this activity is A group of people will also receive official rewards, not only money but also honor. It can be said to be a matter of fame and fortune.

However, things like this gradually changed with the recovery of the demonic tide, because the situation at sea became more and more dangerous and there were more and more monsters. At the beginning, humans were able to gain the upper hand with various tools and even gain more. But as time went by, the number of monsters in the sea became more and more powerful, and the situation began to change.

The most troublesome thing is that these constantly appearing monsters have affected the shipping of Lenz City. You must know that as a commercial city, the goods unloaded or shipped at the pier of Lenz City pile up in piles every day. Shipping is its lifeline. Of course, shipping is also the lifeline of Lenz City. The pocketbooks of countless people in Ibaraki.

Under such circumstances, the people in charge of Lenz City naturally could not tolerate these sea beasts, so the annual sea-going event started the year before last not only celebrated, but also had another more important meaning, which was to dredge the waterway.

In the first year, the Business Alliance formed a large-scale fleet. Along the waterway, it went deep into the ocean to clean up the surrounding sea monsters indiscriminately. The effect was remarkable. It not only protected the safety of the waterway, but also harvested many precious treasures. It was at that time that extraordinary creatures like the deep-sea scallops were discovered.

The next year, the Business Alliance once again formed a large-scale fleet to clean up the waterway. This time, although it barely completed the task, it suffered heavy losses, which made many people in Lenz City so heartbroken that they could not breathe.

This year is the third year. Seeing that a new sea voyage is coming, Lenz City decided to gather more power, especially extraordinary people, in order to avoid heavy losses like the last time. According to the intelligence collected, one year has passed. The situation in the sea became worse.

Of course, although they know that the resistance this time to rush to the sea may be unprecedented, Lenz City cannot and does not dare to give up, because if they give up cleaning up the channel this year, then the channel is likely to be paralyzed next year. At that time, Lenc City would suffer a devastating blow, so in order to ensure the success of this operation, the leaders of Lenc City decided to hire a group of extraordinary people after discussion. For this purpose, they were willing to provide a group of precious extraordinary resources. , the space debris and life metal that Sean needs are one of them.

In the study, after listening to Jaros Rader's explanation, Sean fell into silence.

Neither space debris nor life metal is the private property of Jaros Rader. If Sean wants to obtain it, he can only join Lenz City's sea-going event and help Lenz City clear the waterway.

Of course, as one of the five permanent members of Lenz City, Jaros Rad also promised Sean that no matter what the outcome was, he would give Sean 20 drops of space debris as a reward.

"50 drops of space debris, 20 kilograms of deep-sea copper."

After thinking for a while, Sean gave this answer.

Hearing this, Jaros Rader fell into silence, and Holkins had left here long ago. In this matter, he was just a middleman, responsible for threading the needle, and would not participate in the specific negotiations.

As for the price Sean offered, is it high? It can be said to be high or not high. It is said to be high because in the current environment, living metals such as space debris and deep-sea sunken copper are precious materials. It is very precious. It is said to be low because of Sean himself. It is a fifth-level combat power coupled with a fourth-level peak Smaug who is indeed worth the price. After all, although the life metal of deep sea copper is of fifth level, its quality is not excellent.

"I agree to this condition, Baron Sean."

After a moment of silence, Jaros Rader agreed to the condition. The price Sean proposed was indeed beyond his previous expectations, but after he actually met Sean, he felt that he was worth the price.

“A pleasure to work with.”

“A pleasure to work with.”

After reaching an agreement, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the study became relaxed again.

Since he decided to join the sea chase, Sean stayed in Lenz City in the following days. During this process, in addition to occasionally exchanging witchcraft with Holkins and Jaros Rader, Sean also We had a nice walk around Ibaraki.

I have to say that Lenz City is a veritable commercial city. Sean saw many strange things here, many of which were aboriginal people from the New World.

Among the many pioneering cities in the Old World, Lenz City was one of the few that did not prohibit aborigines from entering. It upheld the principle of absolute neutrality and looked at the problem from a businessman's perspective.

Under such circumstances, the city of Lenz attracted many foreign merchants, which also contributed to the prosperity of Lenz. It can be said that the gold coins flowing in the city of Lenz every day are enough to form a river.

Of course, Sean didn't delve into what was hidden under this prosperity. It had little to do with him.

With Jaros Rader's care, Sean spent a pleasant little vacation in Lenz City, and time slipped away quietly in the process.

Gear Island is where a large number of factories in Lenz City are located. There is a secret research institute belonging to Lenz City here.

"How's it going? Was it successful?"

Under the dim light, someone asked, with some impatience in his voice.

"Not yet, the sample is still a little off."

A man wearing a white coat and whose face could not be seen clearly answered casually next to the dissecting table.

As he spoke, he kept moving his hands, still dissecting the corpse on the balcony.

The appearance of the corpse was very strange, barely human-shaped, with scales of different sizes and colors, a pointed mouth and monkey gills, and long or short fleshy whiskers growing from all over the body. It looked like a monster.

"You guy, do you know how much money I invested and how much risk I took for this? Ahem."

Under the dim light, the man obviously could not accept such a result and looked so angry that he coughed violently.

"I paid a huge price to save you. Is this how you repay me now?"

After calming down his breathing for a moment, the man continued to roar.

"If you're not satisfied you can have someone else take over my job, Congressman Max Lyman."

He raised his head, straightened his waist, and looked back at the dark place in his white coat, with a dim light in his gray pupils.
