Chapter 6 Spiked Manta Ray
In view of this dangerous experience, Alwin is more and more looking forward to the physical ferocity after promotion to the official Knight rank stand up.
“Alas, it would be great if I could have the magical medicine that comes with the White Sail Sword Technique.” Even the current Alwin has to scratch his head in the dilemma of lack of resources.
After sorting out the goods in the pharmacy, it was already evening when Alwin locked the door and walked out of the pharmacy. The gas lamps along the streets near the central city were all lit, and six melodious bells rang from the clock tower in the city center, reminding the citizens of the entire small town that it was six o’clock in the afternoon.
Alwin walks through the streets.
Occasionally, well-dressed gentlemen can be seen on the roadside, elegantly taking out their well-crafted gold and silver pocket watches from their arms, and slowly adjusting the time in the envious eyes of passers-by.
The invention of miniaturized clocks is not very long now, and pocket watches that are exquisite, compact and easy to carry are a luxury for the vast majority of the public.
A pocket watch in any social situation can add a lot to the owner, so the pocket watch has been sought after by the decent middle- and high-income class since its inception.
Alwin was a little amused when he saw this scene, as if he had found the feeling of showing off the latest fruit phone to his friends in his previous life. But the appropriate desire for comparison and vanity is also one of the driving forces of human progress, isn’t it?
Ten minutes later, Alwin was sitting in Papa York’s diner, enjoying his big portion of cheesesteak and mushroom bisque. The warm-toned light shines on the window, and also pulls the long shadows of pedestrians outside the window one after another.
The father who returns home after a long day of hard work, the housewife who rushes to the market to pick cheap vegetables, and the child who hurries home after playing too much is full of life and is what Alwin has always longed for.
Unfortunately, there is only one person left.
“My Little Handsome Brother, what are you looking at?” A soft voice sounded in Alwin’s ear, and a girl dressed as a waiter placed a mug of butterbeer in front of him.
“Lina elder sister!!” The girl leaned a little closer, the plumpness of her chest was slightly pressed against Alwin’s shoulders, her fiery-red hair drooped down, making the boy’s face lightly red with itchiness, It seems a little embarrassed to resist the girl’s molesting behavior.
“gē gē gē”
Seeing the desired effect, the red-haired girl named Lena covered her mouth like a victorious little hen, With his head held high, he turned and walked away.
There are many similar experiences in the original body’s memory, not only for Lena, the daughter of the tavern boss, but also for all the age-appropriate people who live in the vicinity two streets who think they have several points of charm girl.
Alwin this life has an excellent body, tall, handsome, fair skin, sword technique Cultivation and aristocratic education since childhood, which makes him have a unique temperament that is different from most peers in this era.
And with the awakening of past-life memories that transcend time, this trait is even more pronounced. In addition to owning a pharmacy, it belongs to a typical family with property.
The combination of various conditions is naturally attractive to the young girls who are the first awakening of love nearby, but most of them don’t want to do something with Alwin, they just show their charm through him .
Now Alwin’s performance is just continuation of his predecessor’s consistent style, to avoid revealing his faults, the theory old driver said that he is not panic at all! Probably
“dīng líng líng, dīng líng líng”
“Welcome! What would the guests like to eat today?” In the back kitchen, he winked at Alwin as he passed by.
Alwin didn’t notice the little girl’s movements, but was aroused by the two guests who had just entered with a slightly fishy smell.
“Is there really such a big fish in the offshore waters?”
“Is that still fake?! People in the boat with me have seen it, and many big strange fish are chasing them all the way. The migratory red-bellied sturgeon runs around, too terrifying, and looks like the devil.
They also have a long red thorn on their tail, not to mention the body, the thorn alone is better than the law and order An officer’s sword is even longer.”
The middle-aged sailor who was missing a front tooth spoke eloquently about his adventures. Even in order to increase the credibility, the time, place and other witnesses are perfectly clear to the companions.
I don’t know if his companions believed it, but what he said was heard by the caring man Alwin.
“They say it’s like a stingray? Did a deep Sea Clan group swim to the Sea Territory near Leopold?
Well, it’s not wrong, if he I haven’t seen it with my own eyes. Impossible describes the characteristics of the stingray stingray in such a detailed manner.
If I can get the stinger of the stingray to prepare the medicine, the growth of my physical fitness in the apprenticeship stage will definitely be much faster, when The time comes, there is more time to prepare for the promotion of the Knight. I was so sleepy that the pillow was sent!”
The stingray’s spines are an important raw material for the apprentice Knight’s auxiliary potion, but because Its unique living habits are difficult to obtain through trading. Since escaping to Leopold, Alwin has never seen the real thing even when Leo grandfather was alive.
If it wasn’t for purposeful hunting, even if someone caught a stingray manta in the open sea, no one would specifically preserve a certain part of this particular fish. Just like the dried lizard tail, it belongs to a certain group of people who roam in the dark.
Hearing the good news unexpectedly, Alwin was excited and took a big gulp of the butter beer on the table. Alwin felt that today was his lucky day. The depression of staying in the pharmacy for several days and not being able to go anywhere was gone!
second day early in the morning.
Being fully prepared, Alwin didn’t even go to the apothecary, left Leopold and ran straight towards the place where the sailor encountered the spiked stingray yesterday. In Alwin’s mind, a day’s turnover of trifling is not worth mentioning compared to his knight path.
As he walked on the road, information about the stingray manta rays kept emerging in Alwin’s mind.
This unique fish mostly lives in the open sea. It is huge in size and weird in shape, but its temperament is not ferocious, and it can even be said to be a little timid. There are only small fish and shrimp in the recipe, and there is simply no human, a large land animal for it.
The role of the spikes on the tail is not for attacking, but when escaping, the spikes will turn into red by themselves. While attracting the attention of the enemy, they will fall off like a gecko’s tail, creating opportunities for the host. .
And this time, Alwin is going to use its “thorn to survive” feature to get a thorn. After all, although this large fish has a docile temperament, its body is there, and unless Alwin’s brain is flooded, he will go into the water and fight it naked.
The sky was only slightly brighter when we reached the coast where manta rays are infested.
Because the news of a huge strange fish appeared in this waters yesterday, it has been widely spread among fishermen. Basically no one stays here today, which also facilitates Alwin’s hunting operations.
I was just worried that the group of stingrays would run away early, and Alwin had no chance to find an acquaintance to borrow a small sampan that could only work at the seaside. Looking around, there are no fishing boats forgotten by well-meaning people, so he can borrow them temporarily.
But this is not difficult for Alwin. He used the ax he carried with him to chop down two moderately thick dead trees on the shore, and then tied them together with ropes, which became a very simple one-person “raft”. “.
“Haha, perfect!”
Of course, only a guy with the boldness of execution stems from superb skill like Alwin would dare to go out to sea on this kind of “raft”, even if it’s only possible. See the nearshore of the beach.
Bringing a rope and a few decent-sized stones, Alwin set off on a wooden oar cut with a sword.
Woooooooo——
Alwin quickly arrived at the place where the fisherman encountered the stingray yesterday by comparing the sailor’s description with the distance to the coast and the orientation of the reference object.
Take off his clothes, tie a long rope around his waist with one end tied to the raft, tie a dagger to his calf, and jump into the water.
The water at this location is not very deep, and the sun is barely able to see things. Alwin directly opened his data-based vision and helped him find the group of spiky manta rays that like to lie on the seabed and wait for the rabbit.
Return to the surface without a spot and continue diving in another spot.
Alwin was very patient, and kept repeating the process of diving-waiting-return-change-place-re-diving. When it was the fourth time, the digital vision finally caught the seabed.
