Apart from merchant ships, there is also a port specifically reserved for fishermen in one corner of the bay.
Some distance further in the port is the port market, which is full of various bars and clubs. People who come back from the sea like to go in and out of such places.
Drinking, bragging, heckling, looking for women, and even some fighting are the norm here.
Even the police officers along the coast will not always waste their time getting involved with this troublesome group of brownies.

This is the noisiest, most chaotic, but also the most authentic and scenic place in Segon Saen.
Of course, the noble lord definitely doesn’t think so.
…
At this time, a young man was chatting with the owner of a bar.
"Boss, your wine is too expensive again."
"It's not going well recently and business is hard to do."
"That damn problem is yours, don't pass it on to consumers!"
"Wow, 'consumer', such a high-end vocabulary, it seems that your university education is not in vain. However, if you don't like it, you don't have to drink it." The boss smiled and said in a strange way.
The young man pouted, he still couldn't convince the boss. This is just a quarrel that happens when they meet each other every one or two weeks. They are knowledgeable but do not do their job properly. Even the owner of a tavern can't say that.
"The price of seafood has almost doubled recently. Those fishermen are all cunning guys. They must have the blood of hunters on them!"
"Haha, do you really believe that?" The boss still smiled.
There are rumors that the descendants of hunters are hiding in the large and small communities in Segon Saen's harbor.
The blood of hunters has given these descendants powerful abilities to work at sea. Relying on this power beyond ordinary people's imagination, they plunder the catches off the coast of Segon Saen, squeezing ordinary fishermen, and even some who can't run far away from sea adventures. Home's Kraken Proceeds.
The old boss said: "In my opinion, these are just rumors fabricated out of jealousy by fishermen who are incompetent and so-called adventurers who dare not sail far away."
The young man groaned for a long time and found it difficult to refute.
The boss groped his chin and said, "But the price increase is indeed a bit exaggerated. I have to go to several stores to get enough good-priced goods for my small store."
The young man suddenly became excited: "During the period when earthquakes were frequent and waves were fierce, the fishing catches and sea monster profits in the offshore areas increased unexpectedly. However, it did not reach the 'wave' indicator set by the church, and the result was that A bunch of fishermen and adventurers are making a lot of money!”
"But many people died at that time. Going to sea in a storm naturally requires taking risks." The boss remained calm.
"That's not what I'm talking about. I've just been thinking about the behavior patterns of offshore fish and sea monsters recently. I think it's possible to predict these. If the patterns are found..." The young man rubbed his hands.
The boss looked at him with disdain.
The boss didn't answer, which made the young man a little embarrassed, so he could only answer it himself: "Maybe we can make a fortune."
"Tsk..." The boss couldn't help laughing.
The young man's face suddenly turned red: "I'm not joking, it's true. I'm collecting relevant information in the past few years, a lot..."
"If you say this, no one will think that you are originally an economist from Segon College. Instead, they will think that you are another lunatic who wants to join the 'Lookout'."
The young man suddenly became silent and hesitated.
It's a bit like the advanced force that originally established itself by studying sea monsters and even became a benchmark for the entire continent. Now it has become synonymous with madness. They have even refused funding from the royal family, thereby cutting off most of their ties with official forces, and they still don’t know what they are doing.
If you get involved with them, even if it is just a rumor, you will be taken to the police for questioning these days, and the relevant information will be investigated and dealt with.
"I just want to make a profit out of this. I can definitely make a fortune. Speaking of those lunatics, aren't they still using sea monsters to make money and maintain operations?" The young man gradually remembered what to say and became more and more articulate.
The sea monster weapons sold by the Watchers, even though all channels are now suppressed and cut off, the estimated profits can still make countless people jealous.
The boss was noncommittal, shook his head and said: "You'd better be careful. Fortunately, there aren't many people coming to this small place like mine. You just spoke too loudly. Segon Saen is not peaceful recently, and many people have come one after another. , and a lot of people left. Those who came seemed to have come in to ransack homes and rob, while those who left seemed to be fleeing for their names in a hurry."
"There are even rumors that the False God Cult has secretly entered the city. Traces of watchers' activities have gradually appeared, and patrols by royal guards have become more frequent."
"There are also many people who seem to be from the sea. They are strange and strange. One group of people left a deep impression on me. The man leading the group was well-dressed. I guess he is a pampered nobleman somewhere. He is white and thin, and the dark circles under his eyes are very thick. Maybe he is not. Adapt to life on the sea.”
"The group of people following him were all pretty good. They were probably all young men in the same circle. There was a handsome young man who was wearing a top hat and had his hair tucked away. But my sharp eyes noticed the hair leaking out of the gap in his hat. It’s a very rare red color! There are some patterns on his body, which is a bit strange, but it doesn’t feel out of place on him.”
"A kid wearing a brown trench coat who looks like a detective. He has only one eye and is not easy to get along with. He is like a down-and-out prince in a drama. He has lost something but doesn't care about it anymore. But with friends Being together can still show the closeness."
"The tallest man looks like a soldier, and he wears a suit like a military uniform. He must be a guard. He is quite senior, but he is quite kind. He even gave me a tip."
"They brought a slave... Yes, the reason why I say that is because I have never seen a dog-like person, although there have been similar rumors. I heard that some rich people like to buy such interesting things. Dog people are slaves for fun. But their slave treatment is really good. If he behaved normally, I would have thought he was a noble man, or even a prince! And they would order the largest portion of meat for this slave. !”
"The last person is dressed simply. Although he is a man, he has long hair. His behavior and habits are very different from Segon, but I guess it is the habit of a foreign country. To be honest, he looks like one of those Roma people, yes, that's right. Those wandering people who call themselves fortune tellers. That man is as mysterious as the Roma. He also gave me fortune telling. The way of fortune telling was very strange. It was not a crystal ball or a card, but a metal product. But he spoke much better than the Roma. He told me that my fortune would steadily increase in the future, saying that as long as I continue to maintain a steady state of mind and develop my keen observation and reading skills, I would be able to live a happy life."
The boss talked a lot without realizing it and poured himself a glass of water to drink.
The young man had a strange look on his face: "Boss, I'm afraid your designs can be turned into novels. Have you been secretly writing recently?"
"I saw it all with my own eyes."
Young people still don't believe that such a group of people can mix together. Only fanciful novels can be written like this.
"You didn't get the inspiration from Mr. Sea of Fire's novel, did you?" The young man scratched his head.
The boss couldn't help but laugh and said: "Are you talking about the mysterious poet who has recently become famous in Segon Saen, and his poems have even been praised by everyone at Segon College, but he is obsessed with writing that nonsense novel?"
"I think Mr. 'Sea of Fire' has profound thoughts! His talents are definitely not limited to poetry. I bet that in the future, his novels that are currently criticized will become famous works that make people study and think deeply!" the young man said seriously , there was even a hint of fanaticism in his words.
The boss smiled and shook his head. He did not refute, but lowered his head and gently wiped the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly:
"You've said too much. It's time for you to take your heart back, Cross. Shortcuts exist, but not everyone can find them. Sticking to shortcuts may end up taking a long detour. The most realistic point is that after your parents pass away, what will happen to you? The savings I gave you may not be much left after all these years."
The boss's words made Cross froze in place, and all his enthusiasm was drained away.
The tavern returned to a long period of tranquility.
