Assistant God of Life in Another World

Immediately to the north of the Mauritius Empire is the Khakio Empire.

Its territory is mountainous and watery, and the largest inland sea in the northern region occupies almost one-third of the empire's territory. It is called the North Sea, and the products produced by the North Sea are also the main economic component of the Cagio Empire.

Every March is the day when the North Sea opens up. Countless fishermen sail into the sea. There is a flat boat and a huge boat that can only be driven by hundreds of people. These flat boats and giant boats shuttle back and forth in an endless stream. Selling on the spot on the shore, the merchants of the country, as well as the merchants of many other empires, have decorated this place so that it can't get through.

Most of the catches are not sold at a high price. The bulk of the profits are with the traders, but the advantage lies in the large quantity. After a season of hard work, people who go to sea can basically still get a little.

In view of this, some fishermen specialize in catching those precious fishes, and take less but more refined routes.

This is a relatively high requirement for fishermen, which is not something that ordinary fishermen can do.

However, for any empire, there is no shortage of warriors, whether it is level one, two, three, or level four, five, six, well, there may be fewer level six, but it is only a little less, there is still no shortage Yes, and as for the fourth and fifth levels below it, they are really everywhere, and they are worth less than seafood.

Magicians, I wonder if it is because of the environment of the North Sea, people with magical talent here have always been higher than those in other places, and among them, those who are particularly good at and sensitive to water elements account for the majority.

So there is a saying in Beihai, which is called "Nine out of ten fishermen know martial arts, nine warriors have eight skills in magic, and out of eight demons, seven play with water."

This is because for fishermen who go to sea, physical strength (warrior) is fundamental, and besides that, being good at one or two water spells is even more indispensable, so when it comes to the relationship between warriors and magicians, here is a It may be the most harmonious in the whole continent, or at least one of them.

Here, you can easily see a strong mage with a beard on his face, and it is also easy to see that Ya is obviously a warrior, but he does the induction of elements and exercises for spells every day.

But it may also be because of this reason that the cultivators here have left two kinds of impressions on people, or they have been artificially roughly divided into two types: one is the same as those ordinary catches, belonging to the common goods, with martial arts skills , Magic is a little bit, but overall it is not very good, generally one or two grades lower than the practitioners in other places.And the other kind is those high-quality fish catches, some of which may seem inconspicuous, but the value (level) is astonishing.

The Khachio Empire relies on a large number of high-end goods and a small amount of high-quality goods to gain a foothold in the world, making the surroundings dare not underestimate them.

It was the end of March, and the fish market had already started to ferment slowly at the beginning of the month and entered a peak period.Walking along the side of the stalls not far from the coastline, the variety of catches can almost blind people's eyes. For people who don't live here, nine out of ten fish can't recognize the names.

There will even be some vendors who are new to the stall and point to the weird fish in front of the stall and ask: "This thing, can you eat it?"

Fishermen who deal with the sea are generally good-tempered. As long as you don't provoke him, he has a better temper than anyone else. Of course, if you provoke him, you may have a chance to experience what a "violent bear" is, so the merchant who asked this question You won’t get any supercilious looks, and you won’t get any comments such as "hillies". The stall owner who is asked will often reply: "My fellow, of course this is edible, but it is delicious. How about I cook some now, you Come and taste?"

Therefore, there is another characteristic of the stall market here, that is, the fresh and cooked flavors dance together. The salty sea water, the fishy smell of the sea breeze, the faint stench of the tattered catches, and the fresh fragrance of more raw and cooked catches form a unique flavor. It has created an extremely special and extremely complex flavor environment, which makes people feel as if they are ascending to heaven after smelling it.

The newcomer is drunk, half-lived, dying or living.

The old man is just intoxicated, it is an unforgettable taste that haunts his dreams, so that he can't do it anywhere else, and what he does is boring, so he has to come here again, take a sip of the strong taste here, and then, "call-----!"

After a long, long exhalation, the whole person became calm and sublimated.

A certain lord who was officially called the "King of the North Sea" by several bosses in the surrounding empire was said to have been promoted from the great magician to the sanctuary after such a long and long call.Of course, this is likely to be purely a rumor, and it cannot be ruled out that it was the arrangement of the "fisherman" by those bosses.

On this day, in the fishing market, a middle-aged man who looked like forty, fifty, or sixty came. Well, let's call him a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man is wearing a straw hat, straw sandals, and coir raincoat. At first glance, he looks a bit like a fisherman, but judging from the fact that his bare skin is neither rough nor dark, this man is actually Definitely not a fisherman.

This person looked familiar, strolling among the stalls, smelling, smelling, watching, picking, picking up some catches with his own hands from time to time to see.

This posture looks like a veteran, and it is likely that he walked out of Beihai, so along the way, this person also received the most and warmest greetings, but he did not stay idle, and in the end, he stopped at a The scale is small, but at first glance, it looks like a stall of high-quality fish catches.

The owner or the old fisherman in front of the stall saw the visitor and stood up abruptly, with extreme surprise on his face, but the visitor shook his head and let out a soft yell on his lips.

"Teacher, I just caught an aurora fish. You're here. I'll make it for you to try." The old fisherman skipped saluting, but suddenly got busy.The visitor walked into the stall, found a stool and sat down.

Aurora fish, also known as black shuttle, has a long and slender head and tail, and its overall shape is like a shuttle. Its whole body is black. It travels in the deep sea, but there is often a white light in its body, so it is called Aurora fish. It belongs to one of the most precious batches of North Sea fisheries. , its taste is extremely delicious, and it is said, "But if you have this taste in your mouth, there are not many other things in the world that have taste."

It tastes great when it is boiled in water. It does not need to add any other seasonings, including salt. Another thing that is commendable is that it has no smell during the cooking process. After it is cooked, you can only know it when you put it in your mouth. Its extremely fresh and beautiful taste is the best in the world.

After the pot had started to boil, the old fisherman came to the visitor and sat down respectfully. It was at this time that he asked, "Teacher, why are you here?"

"It's been a long time since I've been here, this time is a taste of the old days, and I'm also here to see you. How about it, still haven't found the clue to take that step?" The visitor said with a slight smile.

Although it was said that he came to see it by the way, the old fisherman was still extremely flattered and moved, but he was ashamed after hearing the following words: "I'm sorry, teacher, I let you down."

"Cultivation is your own business, why am I disappointed." The visitor smiled and shook his head again, "North, west, east, and south, the highest disciples of those guys are only mages, and there is one who is even a mage. No, it’s ridiculous. In comparison, the face you gave to the teacher is not 01:30, and you are one step away from being the archmage, haha, who can compare with those guys?"

"But I haven't taken this step for nearly 20 years. Teacher Lao is worried about me. I really deserve to die." The old fisherman who looked like he was five or sixty years old lowered his head at this time, and said like a child.

"Master, I have a feeling recently that this step of yours may not be far away, so I came here as a teacher." The visitor said lightly, and when the old fisherman heard this and raised his head in astonishment, he suddenly said: "Here, quiet!"

Well, quiet!

The visitor had just uttered these two words, although the old fisherman stilled his thoughts as if he had heard an oracle. With this stall as the center, it spread out layer by layer, the entire fish market, the entire North Sea, and so on. The farther and wider places seem to be cast under a spell of absolute stillness.

Everything fell silent.

Especially in the North Sea, in the center of the North Sea, the perennial storm and huge waves turned into insignificant ripples, gentler than ordinary small pools and small lakes. On the four sides of the North Sea, where fishing boats go in and out, all the waves At this time, they tend to be infinitely static, and even a lot of nets that have just been cast stop in mid-air, not moving.

After a long time, it moved again, but instead of pouring it down, it was collected, and it was collected gently.

In the whole area of ​​the North Sea, there are tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of fishing boats. At this moment, all of them are quietly floating on the sea surface. Both the boats and the people on board are all like falling asleep.

And this dream is one morning.

When the sun passed the mid-heaven and slanted westward, suddenly, the previous extreme stillness turned into extreme movement. After a few short breaths, the uproar and exclamation of thousands of people turned into endless noise. Time seems to want to make up for all the "debts" caused by the previous tranquility.

Still the same stall as before.

All the hustle and bustle stops outside this stall.

Here, it seems to be an independent space, and it seems to be a place forgotten by the world.

The old fisherman was stunned, blinked his eyes, and took a while to regain consciousness.

"Tell me about your feelings." Just then, a faint voice came from the opposite side.

"Preservation is constant and gradual, and practice is four-dimensional. Precepts, precepts, precepts, and minds. In the past 20 years, my disciples have been abstaining from things and minds, but their hearts have not been fully abstained; adherence, disciples dare not boast, nor do they Dare to be ashamed; the same is true of Heng. But the word gradually, the disciple listened to the waves repeatedly, coming and going, going and coming again, but it was not until today that I really understood the sound of the waves coming and going.” The old fisherman said calmly and with a smile, looking at the coast not far away where the movement had resumed.

"Did you really understand?" the visitor asked.

"Yes, teacher, I really understand." The old fisherman stood up, gave a deep salute to the south and the opposite side respectively, and said, "Please also ask the teacher to protect me."

And just after saying this, a slight fluctuation emerged from the old fisherman, spreading outward little by little, and after a while, it merged into the endless waves of the sea... (to be continued~^ ~)
