Being a lord in another world begins with farming

At first, the seafood curse was not taken seriously, and it was not even discovered for a long time, because only a few fishermen grew scales and webs at that time. These people lived at the edge of Fortune Bay, and no one paid attention to them at all. In addition, the changes that occurred on their bodies It made them panic, so they tried their best to hide it so no one could find it.

But paper cannot contain the fire, and fishermen have to sell their fish every day. As more and more fishermen mutate, they are discovered.

The harbor guard initially thought they were cursed by the fishmen, so the solution was quite crude, by hanging them directly and then throwing them into the sea.

But Fortune Bay is a city of merchants. Some savvy small businessmen discovered business opportunities, so these fishermen who began to become fishmen became novel exhibits, appearing on the streets, in taverns, and even came to Sea Breeze Town with the circus. , and there are more and more varieties.

The dancer whose lower body is an octopus twists her soft body in the tavern, soothing the gentleman's restless body and mind.

The strong man with lobster claws in his hands is very popular with the captain. Whether it is working or fighting, he is a good hand.

Even the evil transformation of the mouth and chrysanthemums into sea anemones has become the favorite of some special groups.

It seemed that this mutant group had integrated well into Fortune Bay, but the situation began to get out of control from then on, because more and more people showed signs of becoming seafood.

The reason why I could accept it so calmly at first was because this change was only limited to a few low-level civilians. The board couldn't hit me, so of course I didn't feel any pain.

But when the curse began to spread, and more and more civilians, businessmen, and even nobles began to suffer from similar mutations, panic began to spread.

In the end, the mage and the priest of the temple determined that this was a new type of curse, originating from the curse of the sea.

In fact, the last sentence is completely nonsense. Everyone can see that this curse comes from the sea. The only problem is how to remove it. You must know that the nobles who started to mutate are going crazy.

The mage dissected some terrestrial creatures that had become severely transformed into seafood, and the results were terrible. They were not twisted by a curse, but evolved.

Curses are not a rare thing, but most of their effects are to temporarily achieve a certain purpose through magic distortion. Therefore, generally speaking, most curses can be restored to their original state after being lifted. Only a few have solidified magic power due to too long time and cannot be restored immediately after being lifted. , but it can also be corrected by other means.

But the seafood curse does not work. It is not entirely correct to say that this thing is a curse, because its essence is to imitate the marine environment and force organisms to adapt and evolve rapidly in that direction. Therefore, it is completely irreversible, at least it cannot be changed back without removing the curse. of.

Of course, if the body mutation and evolution are interrupted before it becomes serious, it can also be corrected through physical means. After all, scales and webs are just a matter of a few cuts.

But the biggest question now is how to lift the curse.

The merchants and nobles of Fortune Bay didn't care how much money they spent at this time. In addition, the previous mission attracted many adventurers, including not a few spellcasters, so they recruited talents to conduct research in this area.

After extensive research, the mage found that the purification of the temple could play a certain role, but this was a temporary solution rather than a permanent cure. The seafood curse was difficult to eradicate and could only temporarily slow down the evolution process.

Although in theory, as long as regular purification is carried out, human beings can maintain a roughly human form before reaching the end of their life span, the nobles and businessmen are still not satisfied. No one likes to turn into a weirdo who smells like fish and secretes mucus.

These are still rich and powerful people. They can spend money to extend their lives, but the common people at the bottom do not have this life. After all, the priests of the temple are not holy mothers, and the purification is certainly not free, so they can only watch themselves turn into seafood. , after his consciousness gradually faded, he swam into the sea based on instinct.

Currently, only priests with the blessing of faith and warlocks with special bloodlines are not greatly affected, but they are also unable to solve the problem and cannot even guarantee that they will not be affected.The occurrence of this series of circumstances has inevitably plunged Fortune Bay into chaos. Although it still remains apparently stable, everyone knows that as the curse spreads, it is only a matter of time before Fortune Bay turns into a seafood market. By then, Any order is a joke.

Now many adventurers and residents who have evacuated from Fortune Bay instinctively gather in the nearby Sea Breeze Town, bringing wealth but also chaos here, and Owen is facing these troubles.

Because he invented the Bubble Curse, he is considered a celebrity here, but the bad thing is that he is only a first-level mage.

A mage who is less than the third level cannot straighten his back, and this also gives some people the courage to take action.

Facing the menacing enemy, Paris calmly lowered his body and threw out the round steel shield in his hand. This heavy round metal plate hit the robber who was charging forward with the lobster claws raised in the roaring wind.

The Lobster Claw Bandit's expression changed. He never expected that there would be a shield guard who would throw the shield out as soon as they met. As he was in an offensive posture, he was hit in the waist by the shield before he could react. Under the strong force, he was hit by the shield. The relatively fragile lumbar vertebrae were dislocated with a click, and he immediately fell to the ground.

However, Paris, who had lost his shield, also allowed another robber holding a long sword to see the opportunity and strike with a very standard posture. Unexpectedly, the sharp sword blade was caught.

As a shield guardian, Paris certainly knows what it means to lose the shield, so many shield guardians will choose to equip arm armor as an emergency, but now he has a better one.

The strong steel prosthetic limb firmly grasped the sword blade, and then folded it hard. The clear sound of the metal breaking made the robber's face change greatly. Before he could get away from him, he was stabbed to the heart by Paris's backhand, and his mouth opened wide in pain. , revealing a mouth full of spiral-shaped rings of flesh and fine tentacles. The disgusting Paris smashed half of his face with a backhand punch, and his chin drooped, hanging there like a piece of uncut rotten meat. Finally, he hit it hard. The fist swings back, hitting the opponent's temple like a war hammer, causing half of his skull to collapse.

After dealing with an enemy, Paris took two steps forward, stepped hard on the edge of the round steel shield, flipped the flying shield over and caught it firmly, then put it on his arm.

At this time, Paris felt a little more secure. After all, he was a shield guardian, and he always felt uneasy without a shield in his hand. However, the new owner asked him to practice more shield throwing skills, which made him very distressed.

The Shield Guardian does have the skill of Shield Throwing, but this move is the last resort and should only be used as a last resort. After all, what else can the Shield Guardian do without a shield, so I have never seen that Shield Guardian. Will use shield throwing as a regular skill.

However, thinking about the new owner's description of a shield that could automatically rebound when thrown, Paris tried his best to get used to this move, just in case the owner could actually create it.

Of course, this was mainly due to the extra confidence that the steel prosthetics gave him. Even if he lost his shield, he was not without the ability to fight back.

At this moment, the cat-eared maid with a more wild look in her eyes came from the side wiping two blood-stained short blades. It seemed that the two escaped robbers had not escaped the palm of the new hunter.

Apart from the mysterious new owner, the thing Paris couldn't see through the most was the cat-eared maid.

Although the Cat Ears are born assassins and thieves, they have never heard of them progressing so quickly, and just like the cat's agility, even in daily life, if they don't pay attention, they will unconsciously ignore the other person's existence. .

And this change also happened after the new owner.

Paris is not stupid. Their new master is not as simple as he seems, so he will do everything his master asks him to do, even if it is such a ridiculous command as practicing shield throwing.
