The waves rushed up to the beach and filled up a sandpit. The two had already left the beach, leaving only two trails of footprints.
"Master, where are we going?"
Reina said the words that the Demon King had heard countless times. The Demon King carried the magical net on his back, and in front of them was a yellow cat with white stripes. They had already returned to the city and were walking on a path paved with red bricks.
"To sell fish."
The Demon King replied.
The two followed Mikeji all the way. Mikeji smelled the fishy smell all the way and found the market.
Wooden signs were hung high on both sides of the road. The pictures on the signs seemed to be alive, constantly repeating the same action.
The market in the afternoon was relatively calm. There were not many people coming and going. The hawkers were also dozing off in their stalls. Perhaps the most active ones were the flies and stray cats.
Most of the market here sold fish. Even in the vegetable stalls, you could see one or two fish, so the fishy smell permeated the entire market.
The two walked in the market, curiously looking left and right, like country bumpkins entering a city. Even the Demon King was curious. The fruits and vegetables sold here were all things that he had never seen before. Some were square, some were covered in thorns, some had leaves that looked like tongues, and some even had vegetables that looked like human hands that could move. He could not believe that the people here dared to eat such things.
The Demon King turned his head and suddenly saw the shop he was looking for. It was a stall that sold fish.
The stall that sold fish was naturally not clean. A large fish head was placed on the chopping board, and the fish blood on the ground flowed into the drain with fish scales. The fishy smell was very strong.
"Buying fish? I don't think so. Are you here to sell fish? "
The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing waterproof gloves and a black apron with fish blood. After seeing the two of them, he asked with a tired face.
The Demon King nodded and put down the fishing net on his back.
"It's still alive."
He said lightly, meaning that he wanted to raise the price.
After seeing the net, the fish stall owner's eyebrows flew to the sky. He said with a strange face, "Wow, what kind of net is this? A new product? Where did you buy it? "
The Demon King ignored him. One had to know that this net was made by him, a one-of-a-kind tool.
"No, this is my own magic."
He dispelled the other party's desire to buy a network.
"Alright, your magic is really powerful. Let me see, the fish you caught are quite mixed. Most of them are worthless."
The other party could tell at a glance that the two of them were newbies who didn't know how to fish, and the fish they were selling were miscellaneous fish that the old fishermen didn't like.
"These are not bad. How about this, I'll buy them all for 470 Ophiuchus coins."
The boss said.
The Demon King fell silent. If converted to Union currency, the net cost about 180 yuan. The net weighed at least 40 kilograms, so it was definitely worth more than that.
"500."
The Demon King said indifferently.
"This … Alright, since it's still fresh."
The boss said.
However, the Demon King was sure that he was secretly laughing.
He took out a few boxes, one with no water and one with water, and put the fish in them. The Demon King paid attention to some of them to see which ones were valuable.
Reina helped catch the fish. She looked at the ugly buck-toothed fish reluctantly, but it was thrown into a box by the fish shop owner.
"Sigh ~"
She sighed softly and then left the smelly market with her master.
In the afternoon, the two of them walked aimlessly in the city. The quiet afternoon was lazy, there were few pedestrians, and the yawning cat was lying on the wall. Walking on the street also made people feel sleepy.
The two of them came to the gourmet street. Although there were more pedestrians here, it was still deserted. It was obviously a beach city, but it was so lively.
They walked around for the whole afternoon. They walked around almost all of the medium-sized city. At this time, they came to the port.
"Master, where are we going?"
Reina asked tiredly.
The Demon King didn't answer. He looked at the sea level. The setting sun reflected on the surface of the sea, and for a moment, he couldn't tell the sky from the earth. Only the seagulls could tell the answer.
It should be the time for the fishermen to return.
"Let's go see the person who put up the bounty."
The Demon King said.
…
There were countless fishing boats at the port. They were arranged in an irregular manner on the shore. At this time, in a corner, there was a shabby boat. Strangely, this fishing boat had special treatment. The surrounding boats gave way to a large area of empty space. They would rather squeeze together than get close to it.
In the open space in front of the fishing boat was the place where the fishermen dried their nets. At this time, a slightly hunchbacked old man was busy spreading the fishing net on the shelf.
He was a little thin, wearing a faded blue jumpsuit and a yellow white shirt full of old stains. He had an old wooden pipe in his mouth, and his beard was as messy as a bird's nest.
"Do you know a person called Guajama?"
An unfamiliar voice suddenly came from behind him. It was the voice of a young man. The old man's movements paused for a moment. He chose to ignore the voice and continued with his work.
"Master, he seems to be deaf."
Another voice came. This time, it was a girl's voice.
"Who's deaf! Can't you see that I'm busy! "
The old man suddenly turned around and scolded the two people. In front of him was a strange combination. A handsome man and a blonde little girl.
From the color of their hair, they shouldn't be father and daughter. But if they were lovers, then it would be terrible.
After being yelled at, Reina immediately hid behind her master.
The old man's face had the words' don't bother me 'written on it. Then, he turned around and continued with his work.
"I'm a member of the Adventurer's Guild. Today, I received a bounty and came to help someone find a fish." The Demon King said to the old man.
What answered him was the sound of the waves crashing.
The air froze for a minute. The Demon King silently looked at the old man. Reina looked at her master strangely. The cat Mikeji yawned in boredom.
"Where's the fish?"
The old man suddenly popped out such a sentence.
"The fish depicted on the bounty is too simple, so I want to hear the person who posted the bounty describe the fish personally."
"Hmph! You're smart. If you dare to buy a few stinky fish from the seafood market to brush me off, I guarantee that you'll have an intimate kiss with the rotten fish intestines tomorrow! Just like those so-called adventurers before! "The old man angrily turned his head. Of course, he had no reason to be angry with the two people.
"So, you're Guajama."
"Of course."
The old man said without any trace of politeness. He was a stubborn and irritable old man who was difficult to get along with.
"So, can you tell me what the fish you lost looked like?"
"Ho ho! The fish that I threw away was powerful. It was three meters long, and its body was covered in black scales. On its back, there was a row of shark fins that were sharper than swords. Its eyes could shine in the dark sea, and it could swallow an entire ship in one gulp. " The old man used an exaggerated tone and expression to describe to the two people. As he spoke, he approached the two people.
"Moreover, it will only appear in a storm. Only the brave warriors who dare to conquer the sea can see it!" At this time, the Old Man Guajama was less than a hand's distance from the Demon King. He stared at the Demon King with his bell-sized eyes, as if he wanted to scare them.
"That's quite interesting. If possible, I really want to see it. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a storm recently."
The Demon King said.
"Who told you that the sea is like a woman. If you're really not afraid, then you can give it a try."
"Unfortunately, I don't have a ship."
"I do!"
The old man's eyes lit up.
The Demon King smiled and said, "Alright, I'll borrow your ship tomorrow."
"Hmph! I hope you have the guts. If I don't see you before the sun rises tomorrow, then scram as far as you can! "
