Chapter 430 The Sea and the Cat
The second day is Thursday, wake up early in the morning, Shade Received a letter from Miss Galina. Demoness asked him to definitely, absolutely, and not refuse to go to see her at her manor this afternoon.

Knowing she wants to ask about Coldwater Harbor, Shade yawns and puts the letter aside, enjoying a quiet breakfast at home with her cat.

After dinner, Shade changed into clothes and prepared to go out. He took the towel and motioned to the cat who was standing on the windowsill watching the pigeons with great interest:

"Mia, do you want to see the sea and the lighthouse?"

"Meow? "

This cat probably doesn't understand the "sea" and "lighthouse" in Delarion's lingua franca. But seeing Shade greeting it, he still ran over happily.

So two hours later, Shade was holding the cat, standing in front of the lighthouse guarded by Edmund's Old Mister, and stared wide-eyed Mia looked towards the sea cliffs sparkling in the distance Sparkling, rippling sea.

That orange cat with its mouth open and its eyes staring is really funny.

Today is a good day. Under the blue sky, although the sea is not calm, the sparkling waves are much more friendly than the red ocean. Standing on the sea cliff, blowing the sea breeze at the end of summer, basking in the warm sun, listening to the deafening sound of the surging waves, this scene made Shade, who came to Lengshuigang this time, really feel like he was on vacation.

Mia, a pet cat born in Tobesque, probably saw the sea for the first time. When Shade was on the sea cliff behind the lighthouse, transforming it from a puppet into a real cat, the cat shrank all over Shade's arms.

But after confirming that the sound of the waves wouldn't hurt it, Mia huddled in Shade's arms again, glanced around, and even became interested in the seagulls flying in the sky. The sea breeze made its soft short hair cling to the body, and the bright sun shone on the orange cat, making the orange and white hair shine like it was glowing.

Of course, Shade sincerely hoped that the seagulls hovering over the lighthouse would not have the habit of excreting indiscriminately. Judging from the traces on the nearby ground, these seagulls were more rude than he thought.

Today's fine weather, Mr. Edmund hung a sign "Go fishing" on the door under the lighthouse and was not at home. Shade is not in a hurry to find him on the nearby shore, but hugs the cat and enjoys the sea view.

He had heard from Miss Avrolla about the end of the Cold Harbor major event. The local murloc esoteric forces were almost completely destroyed, and the few surviving murlocs were once again like their ancestors, lurking in the city in the appearance of human beings, waiting for the next conspiracy after thousands of years.

The unexpected appearance of the "Godcaller" made the battle at dawn yesterday ended faster than planned, and in the eyes of the people of Coldwater Harbor, yesterday morning was just because of the abnormal movement of the monsoon. , and the increase in urban pollutant emissions, resulting in changes in sky and ocean color in small areas in a short period of time.

This did not have much impact on the ordinary person's life.

As for the victims who stepped into the sea under the influence of the curse of the mermaid in the ceremony of returning to the sea. Although the official statistics are not over yet, according to Demoness' calculations, the total number will not exceed 600, including fishing boats that capsized in the open sea without returning to the port in time.

Compared with the scale of this event, this sacrifice is entirely acceptable.

“This world is really dangerous for the ordinary person.”

Shade in the heart sighed while holding the cat and watching the cruise ship passing by in the distance.

If there are no incidents related to mysterious happening around, the ordinary person will probably never know how dangerous the world is. And once associated with relics, ring warlocks or cults, the survival rate of the ordinary person is actually very low.

This can be seen from the girl Sophie Dyce's family to Mr. Freeman, the painter who collects oil paintings, from Tobesque's summer descent to the shadow of Coldwater Harbor.

The Orthodox Church is currently working with Lengshuigang City Hall to carry out related aftermath work. And the ring warlocks who were nominally gathered in this port city because of the fish people are also leaving in an orderly manner. Demoness seems to have released news locally that the second candidate has left Lengshuigang, and now surrounds Lengshuigang, and the surrounding traffic arteries are the places that should be paid attention and investigated.

The red ocean receded, the murloc remains in the seabed abyss disappeared, and the giant mermaid corpse that was split into four pieces melted into the sea. Overall, the cult at Coldwater Harbor ended with a relatively perfect outcome at the end of this summer of 1853.

At present, what people are most curious about is the whereabouts of the thirteen-ring warlock "Godcaller". The church believes that the ring warlock, in the murloc temple, obtained a way to heal himself, recovering completely the damage he suffered when Tobesk called the Spiritual God.

Therefore, the Church is sure that he will not leave the old continent for the new one. Although he doesn't know which faction the "Godcaller" belongs to, judging from his movement trajectory, this thirteen-ring warlock is also interested in the thirteen chosen people in the prophecy of "The Whispering Poetry".

From this point of view, the church's inference should be correct. It's just, they want to find Shade, I'm afraid it will take a while. It is not an easy thing to connect the detectives of St. Teresa Square in Torbesque with the thirteen-ring warlock fishing in Coldwater Harbor.

Shade was thinking about things with the cat in his arms. He didn't look at the sea for a long time. Mr. Edmund carried a fishing rod, a bucket in one hand, and a metal tool box that could be used as a stool in the other. The path under the cliff winds up.

His harvest today is quite good, without the influence of abnormal tide, the Old Mister, who lives by the sea, showed quite amazing fishing skills.

Approaching the lighthouse, only to find that there are actually guests visiting. When Shade turned around with the cat in his arms, the old man had a surprised expression on his face:
"Do I need to remind you that you are not wearing a mask?"

"Do you need a mask? There are not many acquaintances that Father John met in Tobeske who can introduce business, and also know that there are many more impossible [Light Guide Hermit Order]. Combined with my height and size, you only need a few letters , it's easy to tell who I really am."

Shade shrugged, thinking about it when he came to the lighthouse on a rainy night, but it was worth it for that drop of divinity.

"No, actually, I didn't mean to ask John at all. Whether you are Rejed's Hamilton or not is not important to me."

The old man continued to carry it with great effort. The bucket and metal box climbed upwards, and Shade greeted him, putting the cat on his shoulder and helping Mr. Edmond carry the bucket. Inside the tin bucket, there were now four bearded fish swimming, and the clear water reflected sunlight and allowed Shade to see all the physical details of these aquatic creatures.

Mia is very interested in these fish.

"Hermit Order has no interest in the secrets of the trade partner, as long as you don't interfere with us. Don't worry, youngster, I won't tell anyone about you, and I don't want to know about you and the caller. What does it have to do with me.”

After struggling to get under the lighthouse, the old man rummaged for the keys in the brown vest full of pockets he was wearing while fishing. As soon as he opened the door under the lighthouse, the cat that was locked in the lighthouse rushed out immediately.

"Meow~"

Mia, who was still obediently resting on Shade's shoulder, immediately "snarled", and the cat, which was much bigger than Mia, actually She took a step back because of the "roaring" sound, looking startled by Mia.

Shade touches Mia, making it quiet for a while.

Entering the lighthouse with Mr. Edmund, the old man packed his fishing gear before sitting down and talking with Shade:

"The Hermit Order was formed to deal with the end of the world. As long as you don't prevent us from collecting and preserving the information of civilization, and you have no idea of destroying the world, then we can be friends. As for secrets, oh youngster, which ring of warlock has no secrets? Even if you say now that you are a god caller, I'm not at all surprised."

Shade called out the ring of life behind him:
"Unfortunately, I'm not."

"It's really a pity."

Mr. Edmund sighed regretfully:

"I was expecting you to be, so I can have an extra ten The trading partner of Sanhuan."

He pulled the gas valve by the wall and simmered hot water on the small stove.

"However, I do know the thirteen-ring warlock. If there is an opportunity, I can introduce him to buy things here."

Shade said, seeing the old man's indifferent expression , put his hand into his pocket, and took out the huge leather book "The Mystery of the Ocean" that was absolutely impossible and left no trace in his pocket:
"This is what I promised you, Secret of the Scarlet Esoteric Cult. Art. After I went into town that night, I found a node where the sea returned the ceremony, attacked them with the help of my friends, and got this."

He handed the book to Edmund Mr. De, after the latter took over, first got up and took out the paper bag containing the banknotes from the desk and returned it to Shade, and then sat down and rubbed the book cover with his hands.

"Isn't this human skin?"

Shade asked worriedly.

"Of course not, it's the skin of a male gilt golden sea horse. There is a very small amount of gold in the dung of this amazing creature. Although the amount is very small, raising a gilt golden sea horse is a substance. One of the few ways in the world that can convert other substances into gold at almost no cost."

The old man explained, and the conversion of gold made Shade think of the famous relic [Sage's Stone].

Mr. Edmund put the large book on his lap, opened it carefully, and checked the chapters at random, while Shade looked at the interior decoration of the lighthouse and enjoyed himself.

This book is written in the Murloc script, and in more than one era of Murloc script. Shade can understand everything, Mr. Edmund can only understand part.
