Chapter 158 94 Black Market
Chapter 158 94. Black Market
Wrapped in the water of Lamastia, Fisher seemed to be deprived of his breath, and his nose was filled with the salty smell of sea water.
He first felt the world spinning for a while, and then he felt as if there was a bottomless darkness around him, and countless pressures came from around him, as if a big hand was dragging him into a bottomless abyss.
But in the next moment, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, his body floated towards the water surface, rushing straight out of the sea water that imprisoned him.
Immediately afterwards, Fisher seemed to wake up from a drowning state and greedily breathed in the air outside.
He was soaked from head to toe, and he didn't know where Lamastia had teleported them. He only knew that he was floating in the water now.
The surrounding environment was pitch black, and after Fisher's eyes adjusted to the darkness for a while, he felt that the surrounding environment was quite familiar.
Isn't this the swimming pool of the University of St. Louis? I had come here before to hunt down Jasmine.
It turned out that Lamastia teleported them directly to Saint-Nali University.
In the swimming pool behind them, Shiraki slowly floated out of the water with Reina in his arms. They didn't have any symptoms like Fisher's drowning, so they looked at him with concern.
"Mr. Fisher, are you okay?"
"fine."
Fisher coughed slightly, then wiped his face and swam to the shore.
Looking back, the swimming pool was very quiet. There was Haru, the big crab, swimming backwards, but the annoying Lamastia was no longer visible.
Reina and Shiraki have both returned to human appearance. It should be that Lamastia blessed them during the transfer just now.
"You guys wait here while I go to Jasmine."
Fisher took off his coat and wringed out a lot of water, then put the rag-like coat on his shoulders and said to the two demi-humans behind him.
He was completely wet and had to go to his faculty dormitory to change his clothes.
After getting the nods of Shiraki and Reina, he climbed out of the window of the swimming pool. The main entrance of the swimming pool was locked at night, so there was no need to worry about other people coming here to find Shiraki and the others.
After returning to his dormitory and changing his clothes, Fisher went to the bottom of Jasmine's dormitory and informed her through the dormitory manager. Not long after, he saw Jasmine running down in a pure black dress. The dress was different from the What she wore during the day was so formal, but more like a nightgown worn in a boudoir.
It was late now. She was probably just about to take a break when Fisher called her down.
"Teacher Fisher?"
"Your partner was attacked and has been taken to the swimming pool by Lamastia. Come with me to have a look. Another demi-human has been captured."
"Rena and the others?! I'll go over now."
After hearing this, Jasmine showed a nervous expression and quickly followed Fisher to the swimming pool, where she saw Shiraki covered in injuries and Xiao Reina beside her.
When Bai Mu saw Jasmine, he immediately stood up apologetically, bowed to her, and said,
"Your Majesty, I'm very sorry. I don't know why our whereabouts were exposed and caused you trouble."
"Why would you cause trouble to me? You came ashore because of me. The most important thing now is to rescue Mr. Lingjiu first and don't move yet."
Jasmine showed a somewhat guilty look, and after speaking softly, she stretched out a finger and pointed at Bai Mu. As the light in her eyes flowed, Bai Mu's wounds gradually healed, and finally returned to the appearance before the injury.
Bai Mu looked at his restored body in surprise, and said so gratefully,
"Thank you very much, Lady Jasmine."
Jasmine shook her head to show it was okay, and then retracted her finger after confirming that Reina was not injured.
Jasmine knew that in human society they were not friendly to demi-humans, so she transformed into a human to avoid inconvenience. Fortunately, Teacher Fisher did not expose her identity, otherwise she would really not know what to do.
She glanced at Fisher beside her, and then asked Bai Mu and the others,
"Do you know where Mr. Lingjiu was captured? We have to find a way to rescue him."
Shiraki and Reina knew nothing about this. Before they could shake their heads, Fisher beside him spoke,
"The ones who are chasing them are bounty hunters. Someone must have posted a reward in the black market, so Reina's father should be taken to the black market now. The black market is deep in the streets of Snake Head, very far away from here, and there are many bounties there. Hunter, it shouldn’t be difficult to bring him back if you be careful.”
Hearing Fisher's words, Shiraki's eyes lit up slightly, and then she quickly called Haru in the pool to swim over, and took the bag tied under its belly in her hands.
When he opened the bag, he saw that it contained many gold and Ocean demi-human crafts, such as necklaces and bracelets. Those things were so exquisitely made that it looked like they were not made by human hands.
Under Fisher's confused gaze, Bai Mu held up the bag towards Fisher and sincerely requested Fisher,
"Mr. Fisher, although this request is too much, can I still ask you to help bring Reina's father back from those humans? As a reward, these are some of the treasures we have left in the sea over the years. I don't know how much they are worth on land. If it's not enough, there are still some on the seabed."
Bai Mu wanted to use these gold and jewelry to ask Fisher to help her and her daughter bring back Reina's father. Fisher glanced at her pitiful expression, stretched out his hand and pulled out a string of exquisitely crafted bracelets from the bag, and then put the jewelry in his arms and stood up.
"I understand, then I will accept this reward. You stay here to recuperate, Jasmine."
Just leave a unique gift for Renee as a gift when she returns, and don't take other gold and the like.
But then again, is there a lot of gold in the sea? Why are many of the treasures that Jasmine and others brought ashore made of gold?
"I will go with Teacher Fisher! I can help!"
As soon as Fisher finished speaking, Jasmine looked at Fisher and responded like this.
At the same time, her body gradually changed back to the appearance of a whaleman. Only in this way could she exert the combat ability of a whaleman. After all, Fisher was still deeply impressed by her destructive power in magic.
Fisher nodded and was about to agree, but he was stunned when his eyes fell on her.
It turned out that she was wearing a close-fitting dress similar to pajamas. The tail behind her lifted up the hem of her skirt.
With the weak moonlight outside, the close-fitting dress occupied space because of the tail, so the curves of her body were clearly captured by Fisher.
And since Fisher called her when she was about to go to bed, she certainly would not wear other clothes inside.
After a second... or two seconds, Fisher calmly moved his eyes away and did not look at her body. At first glance, it was what a gentleman from Sannali would do.
"Chi!"
Moli, who realized something quickly, blushed instantly. She quickly covered her body, and her flipper-like ears flapped. In the dark, Fisher could only see the fluorescent dots on her ears and smell the faint floral scent coming from her body.
She was always careless, and she was so focused on going with Fisher to save Reina's father that she even forgot that she would be exposed if she changed back to her original appearance.
"Sorry!"
She glanced at Fisher shyly, and quickly covered her skirt and ran to the box next to the swimming pool where clothes were stored. She took out the cloak that Fisher had seen before and put it on to cover her body and inhuman appearance.
It turned out that she hid this going-out clothing in the swimming pool. Whenever she wanted to go out, she would come back to the swimming pool to change the cloak. Anyway, she also needed the help of the water flow to turn back into a human.
After she put on the cloak, she no longer worried about exposing herself.
She came back wrapped in a cloak, feeling somewhat embarrassed, her face flushed, not daring to look at Fisher at all.
But as always, Fisher did not bring up the topic that would embarrass both of them. He just coughed lightly and said,
"It's night now, and there is no carriage to get to the Snakehead Tavern. Can you ask Lamastia to help take us there?"
Fisher felt a little guilty when he said this.
The main reason is that Lamastia is a god after all. His people call him every day to either help cover their faces or use him as a means of transportation. You can see that the believers of the Cardo Church treat the non-existent Mother Goddess with great respect, and some even have to create artificial witches in order to reach the Mother Goddess's seat. Don't mention how pious they are.
This makes this real god seem a little... well, too kind and friendly, and it seems that he is not a god, but more like a friend with a bad temper in the sea.
After hearing this, Reina excitedly danced with joy to Jasmine, "Sir Jasmine, Fisher actually summoned Sir Lamastia with the water flow just now! Really, it was Sir Lamastia who sent us here. Fisher is amazing! My mother and I called Sir Lamastia but he couldn't hear it." Jasmine was surprised after hearing this, and then looked at Fisher and smiled, "It seems that Sir Lamastia likes Teacher Fisher very much, otherwise he would not easily respond to other people's calls. This also shows that his eyes have always been on you. Only the life chosen by him can be treated like this." No. Why do I feel that he doesn't like me very much? Fisher thought so in his heart, but when he heard the word "watch" described by Jasmine, Fisher suddenly thought of the huge eye he had seen in the southern continent. That thing praised him and said "I owe you a favor"...if Fisher didn't misunderstand the meaning. But Fisher didn't even know how to contact the big eye, let alone how to get back the favor that was promised inexplicably.
When Fisher first studied soul magic, he felt a terrifying existence in his soul's vision that was always watching him. Could that existence be the huge eye or Lamastia?
Fisher had never seen the true appearance of Lamastia, but when he saw the huge eye, he did feel an indescribable fear from the inside out, and it was even difficult to describe it at any level.
He thought about it carefully and found that there seemed to be nothing special about him. Apart from the two completion manuals in his arms, he should be just a human being with normal psychology and normal orientation.
Is it really for the two manuals in my arms?
Following this logic, they should also choose a manual holder like Philon. Then why did the big eyes thank themselves after killing Philon?
So if it was according to what Jasmine said, why did Lamastia choose her?
You must know that the Fluid Sword was given to him by Lamastia before the Shivali delegation was attacked, so the reason why he pays attention to him is definitely not because he has "offended" him and therefore holds grudge against him.
After thinking about the possible reasons why he was "chosen by God", Fisher, who had several guesses but was still unsure, had to turn his attention back to reality.
Jasmine in front of her gently reached into the pool and called Lamastia again. The water snake once again responded to her request cordially, emerged from the pool, and looked at Jasmine squatting on the edge of the pool.
Sure enough, Lamastia is really a god with no character at all, and he is the kind who is always available!
Fisher cursed, and the next second, the water snake seemed to know what they were thinking, and stretched out two palms made of water towards Fisher and Jasmine.
As the water approached Fisher, the location of the destination automatically flashed through his mind, as if the idea came to him on its own.
Immediately afterwards, the water flow seemed to determine its direction, wrapped up Jasmine and Fisher separately, and disappeared in place.
Originally, Fisher thought he was going to enter deep water again like before, so he prepared himself and held his breath in advance. However, this time he only felt weightless, and after a second or two, Fisher felt like he had landed.
"."
Wait, so the previous drowning and writhing under the water were also part of Lamastia's revenge, right?
After arriving at the destination, Fisher looked down at the dry suit on his face with black lines on his face, and instantly understood Lamastia's thoughts. That guy didn't do anything bad in front of Jasmine, and looked friendly. You can do evil things to yourself in private, right?
Okay, I’m really yours, Lamastia.
"Teacher Fisher?"
The surroundings were a little dark, and some light fell from above. The height was not high. Fisher could not stand up straight and could only stand half-bent.
After hearing Jasmine's soft and soft cry next to him, he gently lit the cane, and Jasmine's beautiful red face suddenly appeared in front of Fisher, with her watery eyes looking straight at him.
But after Fisher looked over, she quickly moved her eyes away and pretended to take in the surrounding environment. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that she is still secretly looking at you with her peripheral vision.
She looks like a shy little whale, especially with her long ears.
"Where are we?"
Fisher listened carefully to the faint sound of water coming from outside, and knew that they were somewhere in the streets of Snake Head. That was the sound of the underground river.
He held up the glowing cane and looked around, finding that they seemed to be under the floor of a building.
Many of the buildings on Snake Head Street are made of wood. People here don't have good conditions to build as good a house as the outside. The general requirement is that it can be lived in. Only certain shops or gang sites will be slightly better.
And now they should be under a certain store.
Above them, there were faint sounds of footsteps and conversations. Fisher raised a finger to signal Jasmine to silence.
"Sir, thank you for naming me. Do you want me to turn off the lights?"
"No, come here quickly, I have to go back to the market for business later."
"Yes, please wait"
After the words were spoken, the sound of clothes falling to the ground could be heard from above.
Jasmine blinked and still didn't understand, but Fisher had already realized something. He stretched out his hand to hold Jasmine and began to lean to the side.
When he reached the edge of the floor, Fisher discovered that this brothel stood on the edge of the cliff of an underground cave. Looking through the gap between the wooden boards in the direction of the underground river, he could also directly see the rock wall further below. Many caves were dug out, and there were fires inside.
Above the rock wall is the main body of Snake Head Street, with many buildings next to it.
The cave with the light of fire is where the underground black market on Snake Head Street is located. It seems to be managed by a gang from Nali behind it. It is very lively there today, and many mercenaries are coming in and out of the cave.
Just as Fisher was looking at it, a carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road on Snakehead Street above the cave. There were many strong men following the carriage. It was not simple at first glance.
Carriage is a rare thing in the streets of Snake Head. Only people with gang license can drive in. Now that the carriage appears there, could the person sitting in it be the owner who issued a reward for the capture of Ocean Yaren?
Fisher looked at the situation over there. Reina's father should be in the black market in the cave. He was thinking about how to bring Reina's father out.
"Oh yes, that's right there."
"."
A man's voice sounded above the wooden board. Jasmine blinked and raised her head in confusion. The light and the landscape fell at the same time, and then she was stunned when she looked at the scene above.
She opened her mouth slightly, and the cherry color began to spread from her neck, as if a door to a new world was opening to her. The picture full of holy light made her quite shy, but she was very curious, so she kept staring at it.
Fisher turned around and noticed her movements, and silently reached out to press her raised head down, forcing her not to look at the "fierce battle" above.
She covered her eyes with a red face and silently followed Fisher to move.
The two of them came to the wooden board facing the black market in the cave on the other side of the cliff. With Fisher's excellent eyesight, he saw a lady wearing a hat and very conservative Nari clothes getting off the carriage and walking into the black market in the cave with many strong men following.
That was Anna that Fisher had seen before.
