Chapter 1683 Wandering in the Town
A few neighbors from across the street came out of their houses to take a look. An old man with a red beard and a pipe in his mouth asked: "The two cars behind are sand whale meat. Are they Zusha whales or Zusha whales?" Tomsha whale? ”
"It's a Dunmusha whale. I was lucky, I caught one, and each of the families who went out got a share. No, I shared two cars."
"Hey, then today I’ll have something good to eat tonight.” Several neighbors were happy: “I said. I'm a restaurant owner. I ate at your house tonight. I think there seems to be a piece of fish belly on the car. Cut off the best piece. Don't be reluctant to part with it."
The man who opened the meal was full of words. Agree: "Okay, I'll be there tonight For my family, I only eat the tenderest piece of fish belly." He directly pulled out his knife and cut off a large piece of meat from the small half of the sand whale's belly near the tail: "That's it, madam, take care of it. , treat the neighbors to dinner in the evening.”
When the two tables of customers in the store saw fresh food, they all said they wanted to add more dishes. Not to be outdone, the alligator slapped the table and yelled: "Stop arguing, serve it to us first, we are all hungry here." He completely brought out his bandit-like mercenary nature.
The fire, the iron plate, the sand whale meat cut into pieces are placed on the iron plate drizzled with oil and fried. There is no need to fry it all, just sprinkle with seasonings, dip it in the sauce provided by the store, and put a piece of soft and tender Dunmusha whale meat in your mouth, which is just big enough to fill your mouth.
Ruola chewed her cheeks hard, swallowed hard, took another sip of wine, and thought about it for a long time: "Well, it's delicious~!"
It's just a matter of words. , Fuzi had already eaten two pieces: "Well, this meat is so delicious. It's very soft and elastic, and the juice in the meat layer... is very luscious, with a faint sweetness." He ate it in his mouth. , while making comments.
Alice also ate a piece and thought it was delicious. She said curiously: "No, I ate whale meat when I was at the beach. It was fishy, meaty, and unpalatable. Why are whales here?" The meat doesn’t smell fishy at all?”
"Because the whale meat here is sand whale, which lives under the sand layer deep in the desert, there is no fishy smell like that at the seaside." A diner at the next table introduced: "In the desert of the Forgotten Sea, there are Many fish species are said to have evolved from the sea to land hundreds of millions of years ago. Whales in the desert are rarely seen on the outer edges of the desert, and can only be seen in the deeper parts of the desert. You can probably see sand whales more than a hundred kilometers northwest of our town. There are three kinds of sand whales in this area. Whales, one is the Zusha whale, which is the most common and more powerful than the Dunmus whale, but its meat is not edible and the fiber tastes too rough. The second type is the Dunmus whale we eat now. Also called the gourmet whale, it is the most delicious dish in the desert , especially when it is fresh and cut into whale steaks and fried slowly over low heat, the taste is really the best in the world.”
Everyone who was eating the Dunmusha whale nodded. These days, this is the best thing in the world. It was the most delicious meal they had ever had.
The man said: "The whale steak you eat is nothing. If you want to eat it, just eat the piece of meat on its lower abdomen near the tail. That is the essence of the gourmet whale. In the desert, Zusha whale The meat is about 40 silver coins per pound, and the meat of the gourmet whale is 15 gold coins per pound. The price of the lower belly piece starts at more than 300 gold coins.”
When Alice heard this, she really wanted to eat the lower belly piece of the Dunmusha whale. people.
The diners at the next table shook their heads and smiled: "It's impossible. The restaurant owner won't sell that piece of meat to you. The food hunted in Zhuyan Town is self-sufficient and meets your own needs. It's so good. Of course he keeps the meat for himself.”
"Then there is another kind of whale, is it the rosewood whale?" Alice asked. Before they came, they had done some research on the possible monsters in the area, and they knew a little bit about them, but they were still not as familiar as the locals.
The diner said: "Yes, it is the mahogany whale. Its meat is highly poisonous and must not be eaten. If you meet it, don't eat its meat."
Everyone talks to each other After chatting for a while, it turned out that the four diners at the next table were all locals. The lone diner at the other table didn't look like a local, but he must have been in the desert for a long time, and he was dressed a bit like a lone thief in the desert. At this time, the man had finished eating, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and walked out struttingly.
Jennifer saw that the diners at the next table were very talkative, so she asked them if there were any ancient monuments, ancient tombs, or suspicious places nearby. Although Ruola determined that the tomb of the Flame Princess was in the nearby area, the circle drawn on the map was a large area when it was actually located. The specific location needed to be inquired in detail.
The diner smiled and said: "Our place is still relatively deep in the desert, but the news here is not blocked. If there were ancient tombs around Zhuyan Town, wouldn't it have been spread out long ago? Where would it be? I’ll wait for you to come find me.”
"That's right."
A few people chatted for a while, but no results came out of the chat.
......
There is no magic teleportation array in Zhuyan Town. Shakhan and Qiuya took the two of them to the northwest of the town on foot. They had eaten on the airship and came down, so they directly Get down to business. In fact, looking for clues is nothing more than asking people, and then relying on your own keen observation to see if you can find anything. The streets in the town were narrow, so the four of them walked around the nearby streets separately, but found nothing.
After reuniting, Qiu Ya said: "The tomb of Glonus has been hidden in the desert for countless years, and it is difficult to find it for a while. But the girl named Zola said that the tomb of the Flame Princess In this area, Tyson trusts her, which is probably true.”
The two people who followed said: "Chief Qiu Ya is right. The people in the town probably don't know anything about it. It's really difficult to find out anything."
The four people continued to wander around, but couldn't find any clues. Just think of it as shopping. I didn’t expect to find the tomb of the Flame Princess right away.
There is a blacksmith shop on the narrow street forging weapons on the street. There is also a pushbutton next to it, with many various types of weapons and several pairs of helmets and armors. When Qiu Ya passed by the stall, he took a look and said, "Hey, there seem to be a few things that are pretty good. Shakhan, come and take a look." Shakhan knelt down by the stall and took a closer look: "Hmm. , there are some very good weapons and armors. It’s rare to see such high-quality equipment here.”
The blacksmith holding the tongs and hammering the iron pieces laughed and said, "You are a bit underestimating the residents of Zhuyan Town when you say this. Such weapons are not considered in our town." What, there are many good weapons hidden in every house.”
"Oh?" Qiu Ya was a little surprised: "Looking at your town, it doesn't look very rich. How come there are so many good things?"
The blacksmith said: "Looking at you, you look a bit like sand. Thief. This guy is called Shakhan. I seem to have heard of your name. Is it the famous blond Shakhan? ”
“That’s me.”
The blacksmith laughed: "You should be from the south. To tell you the truth, many of us in Zhuyan Town were engaged in sand bandits when our livelihood was not good. In the past, we fought and killed many treasures. They were all stolen from other sand bandits."
Qiu Ya was surprised: "So you are a bandit town now!"
The blacksmith smiled and waved his hand: "You can't say that. Our town only engages in the sand pirate business when it really can't survive. It has not been done in the past few decades. But speaking of it, Zhuyan Town also has a history of thousands of years here. , I must have more experience as a sand pirate than you."
"How can you save so many good things here. West." Qiu Ya asked Shakhan: "Let's pick some better weapons and armor for self-defense. After your helmet was damaged, it seems that you haven't found a suitable one. I think the helmets here are quite good. Choose one. Put on the helmet?”
Before Shakhan agreed, Qiu Ya had already picked up a Babuta-style helmet and handed it to him.
“What do you think of this one?”
Shakhan had no choice but to try it: “It’s a bit big.”
Qiu Ya changed another one: "What about this one."
Seeing them choosing helmets, the blacksmith dropped what he was doing and said, "Wait a minute." He ran back to the blacksmith workshop and passed After a while, he took out a silver-black horned helmet. The helmet is large, but the lining is soft and has a cushioning layer. Shakhan tried it on and felt very good. He took it in his hand and looked at it: "This is a treasure."
The blacksmith said: "It should be, I don't know what the quality is. What do you think?”
“Very good. How do you sell this helmet?” asked Shakhan.
"Hey, whatever I want to sell, I'll give it to you." The blacksmith waved his hand and said generously.
"Give it to me?" This surprised Shakhan and others. The other party was doing business, so he gave away such a good thing so easily.
The blacksmith smiled and said: "Although your name Shakhan is more famous in the south, I have heard of it. If it were anyone else, I would definitely not give such a good treasure, but since it is you... ...Good equipment also needs a person who matches it. I don’t want to be a sand pirate anymore, so just use this cloud helmet. "
Shakhan's purple cage protective gear does not include a helmet. He had a good helmet before, but because he used it for too long, he was killed during the first conflict between the Blood Rock and the Sand Jiao trio. It was destroyed. During this period, he only carried an ordinary steel helmet with him, because he had never encountered a fierce battle or used it.
The other party was so generous, and Shakhan was not polite. He accepted it after thanking him. He asked the blacksmith what he wanted to ask, and the blacksmith told them that he didn't know any ancient tombs nearby. Speaking of ancient relics, the large cellar under their town was many years old and might be an ancient relic.
In the desert, the weather is extremely hot in summer. In order to preserve food and water resources, every household in the desert towns will build deep cellars. The large cellar that the blacksmith mentioned has a long history. It is said that this large cellar existed before the town was established. However, the use of the large cellar is under the control of the mayor, and permission from the mayor is required to go down.
After Shakhan learned the news, he did not immediately go to the center of the town to find the mayor, because Charles Tyson had already led people to find the mayor. He wanted to look in the cellar of a nearby resident's house first. At first glance, it was because according to the blacksmith, the cellars of a few families had existed for a long time and were not built later.
