Chapter 118: Cloud Shadow in December 1997
Cloud Shadow in December 1997
When we arrived in the bustling city, it was probably the 22nd, which was many days later than the pre-agreed time.
This is a coastal city. There are many large and small boats parked in the narrow and long bay port. I glanced at almost all wooden boats, and some of them were very huge. There were four or five-storey buildings on them, but I didn’t see any iron-hulled boats. , and did not see the cannons that medieval ships should have.
"Dad, look at the pterodactyls!" my son shouted excitedly in my arms, pointing to the animals flying up and down the sky. Those animals flapping their wings to carry goods in groups had heads similar to lizards. Like the pterodactyls in the dinosaur atlas, but they also have hands, feet and a long tail in addition to their wings. They are more like gargoyles in Western stories than pterodactyls.
Longshan monitor lizards like Ngawang are the top terrestrial beasts surpassing elephants on earth. Only extinct dinosaurs can compare with them, but they are inconspicuous in this busy port city. Along the way, we have I have seen at least three giant creatures that are bigger than it, and I have never seen them and can't name them.
The convoy went straight to the port to unload the cargo, while I, led by familiar cavalry, went to the Cylencia embassy in Kondersinberg to meet my old friend.
This is an ancient and great city. I can imagine that it must have been baptized by countless wars. The tall rock and earth buildings along the way are solid and heavy. Most of the buildings here are very old, and some are very new. The style of the building is integrated to form a unique image of a mixture of old and new. Standing on the back of a monitor lizard and visiting it, you can't help but feel the interlacing and mixing of time here.
As a port city, the commerce here is undoubtedly extremely developed. The huge trading market and the hordes of merchants who come in and out have endowed the city with infinite prosperity.
I was very touched. Seeing the magnificent buildings and temples in this city made me realize that this world is not wild. I was dizzy to see strange goods along the streets, men, women and children, decent or tattered clothes and so on. The joys, sorrows and joys on their faces made me unprecedentedly novel. I always thought that I was well-informed. In fact, the things I have seen and the places I have been are extremely limited, and my imagination is also extremely lacking. Seeing such a magnificent city, I guess I'm still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream of "literary and artistic recovery" in my Shanghe Village.
The Embassy of Cylencia is in a bustling neighborhood in the city, and it was the first time I saw a building with strong Cylencia style. It was a black hexagonal cluster rock complex with sharp edges and corners, which contrasted sharply with the thick and sturdy local-style buildings around it.
Outside the embassy are four knights riding like giant scorpion creatures. They are very imposing and motionless. They also carry double knives on their backs and wear well-made steel armor.
Our monitor lizard was taken to the animal pen by the ushers to rest. I carried my son and followed the familiar knight into the long dark passage. My son held my neck tightly.
My dear, this embassy is like a beehive or an ant's nest. It's completely built in the pitch-black darkness. The knight I knew wanted to hand me a glowing stick, but I shook my head and declined.
I don't need eyes to see things. As long as there is dust in the air, nothing can escape my induction.
After waiting for about ten minutes outside a lavish office, I was ushered in with Luminina and Ambassador Helencia, who was waiting to receive me.
After a few chats, I could barely understand under Luminina's translation that my exploits on the front line earned me a medal, and I can wear it on my hat for formal occasions from now on. The proof of merit is also the stepping stone to my naturalization of Cylencia.
A series of paperwork is not complicated, the tedious part Luminina has already done for me, I just do a simple handover, get the household registration documents of myself, my son and two servants, and then vote with Luminina. shop.
After entering the room, Luminina took off her helmet, revealing smooth black hair, slit-like eyes, an upturned nose and a mouth full of fangs.
I reached out to help her brush the hair from her cheeks, and she smiled charmingly and opened my hand.
I don't care, I take off my clothes and take a shower.
My son sat on the low stool by himself, stroking the vulture crouching on his shoulder, squinting at his dad interacting with the unfamiliar aunt.
Ruminina is a terrifying alien monster in the aesthetic of another world, but to me, who is used to the appearance of Cylencia, she is no different from me.
There are whites, blacks, and browns in the other world, and it's the same in this world.
After taking a bath, she wrapped a bath towel around her waist, and chatted with her while wiping her wet hair.
She looked at me indifferently, just like ordinary people can't appreciate the beauty and ugliness of a bat, and she probably won't think how handsome and handsome I am.
Luminina had a shoulder injury before, and she was treated for the infection of werewolf disease against the iron box. I asked her if she had any scars now, and she said that it was gone. The physique of the Cylenians is better than ours. In combination with scar-removing medicines, the injured and healed tissue can return to its previous healthy state.
I told her that I wanted to buy medicine for scar removal, and she told me to rest first, and it would not be too late for her to take me to the market when I woke up.
The ship to Helencia left the day after, and we had time.
That's right, I haven't slept in peace in the past few months. I don't feel the fatigue of the journey on the road. Now I'm sitting on the bed like the tide is coming wave after wave, and I really want to sleep well. I felt it.
Luminina went back to her room, I pressed my son to give him a bath, and the two of them were sleeping comfortably on the big bed in the hotel.
This sleep was really comfortable, and when I woke up after stretching, I saw that it was already dark outside the window, the flashlight was on, and Wang Jerry was feeding his little vulture.
"Is baby hungry?" I asked him, rubbing my hair.
"Well, Dad, I want to eat grilled fish with cumin and chili peppers."
"Okay, Dad will make it for you."
The body is full of energy, put on clothes and take my son out. Lan Ze is shopping for daily necessities. We have to stay on the boat for about 15 days. The pack animals can get on the boat, but he has to bring his own food, and he has to make enough Prepare.
Julie was bold and borrowed two Helencia guards from Luminina as her bodyguards. She went out with a camera and went crazy. The street was brightly lit at the moment, and I am afraid she would not be able to come back until late at night.
Riding my son around my neck, with money and seasonings in my pocket, I went to the market and bought two fresh fish with few thorns and tender taste at a bargain price. I asked the vendor to take care of the scales and internal organs. I took my son to a leisurely man. They sat down by the bonfire where they rested and chatted, exchanged a few words, put on two fish with an iron fork after obtaining consent, and roasted them on the bonfire.
My tall stature, decent and gorgeous clothes, and the owl on my son's shoulder all indicate our extraordinary identity. The rough idlers are very polite, and even give way to the best position, even talking Both became soft-spoken, afraid to interrupt the fun of our father and son grilling fish.
The oil and honey are thinly brushed on the fish with a small brush. After the fish is grilled, fine salt, cumin, chili powder and other seasonings are sprinkled. The fragrant aroma rippling by the campfire.
Wang Jierui shouted happily and took the grilled fish. He was so hot that he breathed in while eating. I took out a small bottle of soda from the bag around my waist.
The children holding the clear glass bottles in their hands made everyone's eyes go straight, but they moved their eyes wisely, and some even sat further away from us.
I have never seen glass in this world, so the glass bottle in Wang Jierui's hand is an uncompromising treasure. He couldn't finish his soda, so I drank the rest in two mouthfuls, and the soda bottle was put back in the bag.
Wang Jierui eats less, and half of the fish fills him up. The rest of the fish fills my stomach. The taste is good. The fish is very tender and delicious, which is very different from the taste of freshwater fish.
After I had eaten and drank enough, I went back to find Luminina. She changed into civilian clothes, without a helmet, and went out for a walk with my arm around me.
I bought a scar-removing medicine in a store that sold Cylencia products, and I checked with the store manager that this type of scar-removing medicine can be used by people in other places. There will be a burning sensation, and a phenomenon similar to peeling occurs after one day. Continuing to take the drug the next day can make the peeling process continue, and the scope will be slightly expanded. After taking the drug for three consecutive days, a large area of skin will be naturally renewed. Once, new skin is healthier and stronger, and all previous scars are gone.
Four small thick porcelain vases with pale green clear liquid inside, each of which required Luminina’s salary for half a year. These are precious potions prepared by the pharmacists of Cylencia, which cannot be bought in small places.
I bought four bottles because I needed one of them for an experiment, and I had to prove it was safe, nontoxic and effective before I could give it to my mom.
When I was young, I was naughty and played with the thermos. The poured water bottle almost poured on me. It was my mother who blocked the mouth of the thermos with her arm. I was fine, but her arm was severely scalded, leaving it twisted like the sun. of scars.
My mother tried a lot of medicines and remedies, but they didn't work. She also asked the doctor, and the doctor said that there is no way for such burn scars.
My mom never wears short sleeves just to keep the scars from showing.
I hope this world's magic medicine will heal my mom's scar on her arm and let her wear the pretty dress she loves.
There are many interesting things in the store. There are also many ornaments and ornaments inlaid with yellow diamonds, but the price is really expensive. I have the heart to buy a few pieces. Luminina told me not to buy them randomly. The quality of the stone is better and cheaper than here, there is no need to be slaughtered here.
This city is close to the sea and is also a trading port. You can see commodities from surrounding countries and regions here. This time, it was an eye-opener for me. There are also pearls and corals in this world. The colors of pearls are very rich, some kind of orange-red The rare pearls are the size of peanuts. Because of their unique external structure, there will be layers of halo flowing when they are illuminated. They are so beautiful that I couldn't help buying four, one for the craftsman. Holes were drilled on the spot, and thin bronze chains were used to wear them and hang them around Luminina's neck. I put the other three in a small box to make a set of jewelry for my mother, she must like it.
Luminina likes this pearl very much, grinning and rubbing the warm pearl with her fair fingers, feeling very good.
We also saw a shop selling "sea crystal". The owner said that the clear and dazzling "sea crystal" is not a crystal, but the remains of a large marine monster. The long years have eroded the fragile parts of the bones, and the deep-sea minerals Matter attached to the bones created this gem with special properties.
"Sea Crystal" can be said to be the most basic "growing material".
This is the first time I have heard such a statement. The boss is not surprised to see that I have never heard of it. He patiently explained to me that many magical weapons in the legend have their own souls. Although they are tools, they have the ability to learn, With the ability to grow, the wearer can continue to learn and grow, change his state, and if the user adds materials, these tools or weapons can become stronger and stronger.
Usually, this kind of "growable" weapon requires the use of one or several very special minerals. Those precious minerals are invaluable and usually only exist in legends, and "sea crystal" is a material with this characteristic one.
After listening to the boss for a long time, I realized that it turned out that the items made of sea crystals have some kind of function that can change their shape or form. For example, an iron sword is always used to cut targets, and the blade of the iron sword will follow gradually dulls with wear.
The sea crystal is different. If you use the sea crystal to cast a sword, it will always be used to cut the target. As the blade is consumed, the sea crystal will automatically adjust other parts, constantly replenish its sharp blade, and even make its own conscious. The shape has become sharper and stronger, as if to be able to chop the target better.
At the same time, "sea crystal", like other growth materials, can "absorb" other substances, whether it is steel or copper, after incorporating other substances into the sea crystal sword, the sea crystal sword can become larger, The sea crystal will gradually absorb these materials, so that it has the properties of added materials, but does not change its own composition.
It sounds like this sea crystal is like some kind of life form that can slowly swallow other substances to survive. I really don't know how it is achieved.
Naturally, "Sea Crystal" does not really have the kind of ability that the boss said. In my opinion, it only has the characteristics of maintaining its own shape and form because of the material properties. It is completely different from the things the boss brags about, otherwise it will not The price is about the same as ordinary gems.
But to be honest, the clear blue "sea crystal" is still very beautiful. Its material is different from glass or crystal. After cutting, it shows a sharp luster. The scattered blue fire is very dazzling, which is different from ordinary quartz. The rear fire is in stark contrast to the rainbow-like spectrum.
I don't see much of a single piece of jewelry that I like. The boss also sells large pieces of sea crystal material. I bought a piece about the size of a melon, and I plan to take it back and make something myself.
