Due to this dangerous experience, Elvin was looking forward to the berserk state of his body after advancing to the rank of an official Knight.
"Sigh, it would be great if I could have the magic potion for the White Fan Swordsmanship." Even the current Elvin had to scratch his head in the face of the lack of resources in the original body. Even the cleverest housewife could not cook a meal without rice.
After sorting out the goods in the potion shop, Elvin locked the door and walked out of the shop. It was already evening. The gas lamps along the streets near the city center were all lit up. The clock tower in the city center rang six melodious chimes, reminding the citizens of the small town that it was six o 'clock in the evening.
Elvin walked through the streets.
Occasionally, he would see well-dressed gentlemen on the side of the road. They would elegantly take out exquisite gold and silver pocket watches from their pockets and slowly calibrate the time under the envious gaze of the passersby.
The invention of miniature clocks was not long ago. Exquisite pocket watches that were easy to carry around were a luxury item for most of the citizens.
Taking out a pocket watch in any social situation would bring glory to the owner. Therefore, pocket watches were highly sought after by the middle and high income classes.
Seeing this scene, Elvin was slightly amused. It was as if he had found the feeling of showing off the latest Fruit phone to his friends in his previous life. However, the desire to compare and vanity was also one of the driving forces for human progress, wasn't it?
Ten minutes later, Elvin was already sitting in Dad York's small restaurant, enjoying his large portion of cheesesteak and mushroom soup. The warm light shone on the window and the long shadows of the pedestrians outside the window.
A father returning home after a day of hard work, a housewife hurrying back to the market to pick out some cheap vegetables, a child hurrying back home after playing for too long … It was filled with the aura of life, something that Elvin had always desired.
Unfortunately, there was only one person left now.
"My handsome boy, what are you looking at?" A gentle voice sounded in Elvin's ears. A young girl dressed as a waitress placed a large cup of butter beer in front of him.
"Sister Lina!!" The young girl was close to Elvin. Her plump breasts were slightly pressed on Elvin's shoulder. Her fiery red hair fell down, tickling the young boy's face slightly red. It seemed that he was embarrassed to resist the young girl's teasing.
"Hehehe …"
Seeing the effect she wanted, the red-haired girl named Lina covered her mouth like a victorious little hen. She walked away with her head held high.
There were many similar experiences in the original body's memory. It was not only Lina, the tavern owner's daughter, but also all the young girls in the nearby two streets who thought that they were somewhat attractive.
In this life, Elvin had a very good body. He was tall, handsome, and had fair skin. His swordsmanship training and aristocratic education gave him a unique temperament that was different from most of his peers in this era.
And with the awakening of his past life's memories. In addition, they owned a pharmacy. They were a typical family of property.
All these conditions were naturally attractive to the young girls who had just fallen in love. However, most of them did not want to have anything to do with Elvin. They just wanted to show their charm through him.
Elvin's current behavior was just a continuation of the original body's style. He wanted to avoid giving himself away. He was experienced in theory and did not panic at all! Probably …
"Ding ling ling, ding ling ling …"
"Welcome! What would you like to eat today? " Lina ordered for the new customer and went back to the kitchen. When she passed by Elvin, she even winked at him.
Elvin did not notice the young girl's little actions. Instead, he was interested in the two customers who had just entered with a slight fishy smell.
"Are there really such big fish in the coastal waters?"
"How could it be fake?! The people on the same boat as me saw it. There were many big strange fish chasing the migrating red-bellied sturgeon. It was too scary. They looked like devils.
There was also a long red thorn on their tails. Not to mention their bodies, the thorn alone was longer than the sheriff's sword. "
The middle-aged sailor, who was missing a front tooth, was eloquent as he talked about his adventure. In order to increase his credibility, he even told his companions the time, place, and witnesses.
He did not know whether his companions believed him or not, but Elvin, who was observant, heard what he said.
"They seem to be talking about Devil Ray with spikes? Did a deep-sea race swim to the waters near Leopold?
Hmm … It should be right. If he did not see it with his own eyes, he could not describe the characteristics of the Devil Ray in such detail.
If I can get my hands on the Devil Ray's spikes to concoct the potion, my physical fitness during the Knight Trainee phase will definitely increase a lot faster. By then, I will have more time to prepare for the promotion of a Knight. You're really giving me a pillow when I'm sleepy! "
The spikes of the Devil Ray were an important raw material for the auxiliary potion of a Knight Trainee. However, because of its unique living habits, it was difficult to get through trade. Since he escaped to Leopold, even when Grandpa Leo was still alive, Elvin had never seen the real thing.
If it was not for a specific purpose of hunting, even if someone caught a Devil Ray in the distant sea, no one would specially preserve a certain part of this particular fish. Just like the dried lizard tail, it belonged to a certain group of people who lived in the dark.
Hearing the unexpected good news, Elvin was excited. He picked up the butter beer on the table and took a big gulp. Elvin felt that today was his lucky day. The depression of staying in the potion shop for several days without being able to go anywhere had long disappeared!
Early the next morning.
After making sufficient preparations, Elvin did not even go to the potion shop. He left Leopold and ran directly to the place where the sailor encountered the Devil Ray yesterday. In Elvin's mind, compared with his own path as a Knight, a day's turnover was not worth mentioning at all.
Walking on the road, the information about the Devil Ray kept appearing in Elvin's mind.
This unique fish mostly lived in the distant sea. It had a huge body and a weird appearance, but it was not ferocious. It could even be said that it was a little timid. In its diet, there were only small fishes and shrimps. There were no large land animals like human beings.
The spikes on its tail were not used to attack, but to attract the attention of the enemy. At the same time, it would fall off like a gecko's tail and create opportunities for its owner.
This time, Elvin was ready to use its "broken spikes to survive" feature to get a spike. After all, although this large fish was docile, its body size was obvious. Unless Elvin was crazy, he would not fight with it bare-chested.
When they arrived at the coast where the Devil Ray appeared, the sky was slightly bright.
Because the news that a huge strange fish had appeared in this area yesterday had been widely spread among the fishermen. Almost no one stayed here today, which made it convenient for Elvin to hunt.
He was just worried that the group of Devil Rays would run away in advance. Elvin did not have the opportunity to borrow a small dinghy from an acquaintance, even if it could only work by the sea. Looking around, there were no fishing boats that were forgotten by kind-hearted people that he could borrow temporarily.
But this was not a problem for Elvin. He used the axe that he carried with him to chop down two withered trees of moderate thickness on the shore and tied them together with a rope to make an extremely simple single-person "raft."
"Haha, perfect!"
Of course, only a daring guy like Elvin would dare to go out to sea on this kind of "raft," even if it was only in the coastal waters where he could see the beach.
Bringing a rope and a few stones of suitable size, Elvin set off with the wooden oar that he had carved with a sword.
Whoosh —
Elvin compared the sailor's description, the relative distance to the coast, and the position of the reference object. Soon, he arrived at the place where the fisherman had encountered the Devil Ray yesterday.
He took off his clothes and tied a long rope to his waist that was tied to the raft. He tied a dagger to his calf and jumped into the water.
The seawater at this position was not very deep, and he could barely see things under the sunlight. Elvin immediately activated his data analysis vision to help him find the group of Devil Rays that liked to lie on the bottom of the sea and wait for prey.
He returned to the surface when he did not find them and changed to another place to continue diving.
Elvin was very patient. He kept repeating the process of diving, watching, returning, changing places, and diving again. On the fourth time, the data analysis vision finally captured something strange on the bottom of the sea.
