Chapter 171 The past of the fishing village (please subscribe)
In order to deceive others, Wright waited at home until midnight.
At this time, most people in Harbor City have fallen asleep. Only then did Wright take Unica with him and hurriedly left the grocery store.
At this time, the fog had reached the thickest time of the day. In order to prevent Unika from losing her, Wright directly carried her on his back.
The two of them kept moving forward in this silent harbor city. Although Wright's perception was super strong, the night and thick fog made it still very challenging.
Fortunately, Unika grew up in Harbor City since she was a child, and she started out as a police patrol officer, so she was already familiar with the city's routes.
Under her guidance, Wright traveled many wrongful paths and successfully arrived at a slum area in the lower city.
Although there are high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the upper city, the nobles and wealthy businessmen also have their own circles.
And in the lower city, the same is naturally true.
For example, the fishermen who fish in the fishing port can also be regarded as a group with a good income.
But Wright didn't expect that the place where they lived was so dilapidated, it was like a lower city within a lower city.
"Where did these people spend their money?"
"I don't know... for fishermen who fish in the harbor, it's common for fishing boats to be better than houses."
Wright deeply believed in Unika's words.
Through the thick fog and darkness, the two walked through many short and dilapidated houses. After searching for a long time, I finally found the house where old John lived.
"Be careful."
Wright and Unika quietly entered the house. The old man lived alone, and there was no one else in the house except him, which relieved the two of Wright.
"This distance is about the same, so I'll blow it."
Unica found a suitable position, took the conch handed over by Wright, took a deep breath and blew it gently.
As the breath came in, the song of the mermaid in the conch slowly came out, and Old John's expression suddenly relaxed in his sleep. It seemed that the song had worked.
Ding-ding-ding-ding! Ding-ding-ding-ding!
Just when Wright thought things would work out, the sound of wind chimes suddenly rang in the room, startling the two of them.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Wright held Unika in his arms and flew to the roof, and used the method of extracting the light element to wrap the two of them in darkness.
Sure enough, the old John turned over and sat up, looking around sleepily.
After finding nothing, he lay back down again.
Wright was speechless: "Hey...what's going on? Why did the wind chime ring just now? I didn't feel the wind!"
Unika replied in a low voice: "I...I have heard that some similar wind chimes will be hung on some fishing boats that go fishing in the ocean.
If there is a special storm or strange phenomenon, the wind chimes will give an early warning.
Maybe this thing also responds to the mermaid's singing.
After all, for sailors who go to sea, mermaids are also monsters that can kill people. "
"What a troublesome thing, please hold me..."
"ah?"
"I'm going to get rid of this wind chime."
"oh oh!"
Unica turned over and hugged Wright, resting her head on his shoulder.
Wright freed up a hand, summoned the Holy Principle Ring, and then used ice magic to completely freeze the entire wind chime.
After succeeding, he waved his arms around Unica and slowly fell back to the opposite side.
"Okay, you can let go."
Unica was stunned for a moment, and then she let go of her arms and legs.
"Blow it."
"Um!"
Unika walked to the bed and suddenly came back.
"Well, why didn't we land just now and freeze the wind chimes?"
"Uh... don't worry about these details, just go and brag!"
Unica came to the bed again, picked up the conch and blew it again. Gladys's singing was melodious and beautiful, and the wind chimes didn't cause trouble again this time.
Old John stretched his body and was quickly hit.
"Litelet, it's ready!"
"Okay! You ask, and I'll add it."
Unica nodded and came to the bedside: "Uncle John?"
Although Old John did not open his eyes, he still responded in a daze: "Huh?"
"How did the fishing village of Heglo disappear?"
Wright almost stumbled: "You... you're asking this so hard, don't you have any criminal investigation skills? Don't you know how to follow the lead? Can you make some insinuations?
You wouldn't just poke a person's lung tube and ask during the day, right?
Have you been infected by Emily because you stayed with her for a long time? "
Unexpectedly, tears suddenly welled up in Old John's eyes.
"Haigero was wronged. We were framed!"
Wright was stunned for a moment: "Did you really ask?"
Unica quickly asked: "Who framed you? And who flooded the Haiglo Fishing Village?"
While crying and sleeping, Old John told a story intermittently that made people feel chills all over.
Hegro, an inconspicuous small fishing village next to the seaport city of Kedros. But its existence is several times older than the harbor city of Kedros.
This ancient fishing village has had little contact with the outside world.
They are isolated from the world and have retained the oldest beliefs and sacrificial rituals.
They worship the sea, and they do not believe that there is a so-called god in the sea who takes care of everything.
They believe that the sea is the sea, and the sea itself is great enough.
They worshiped to the sea with great piety, which has been passed down to this day.
And under the protection of the sea, they had plenty all year round, and almost never suffered casualties when fishing at sea. The village is located in a low-lying area and has never been flooded.
If it hadn't been for that accident, this small fishing village would probably have been passed down happily like this.
But that day, a group of foreigners came to the small fishing village.
The leader was none other than the city lord of Kedros Harbor City. Among their team, there were also several hooded magicians who were the captain of the Guard Corps of Harbor City at that time.
They brought a lot of treasures and novelty things that the villagers had never seen before.
They told these fishermen in paradise how beautiful and noisy the outside world was.
They are willing to buy everyone's fish, and they are even more willing to open a trade route and build a dock in the fishing village to increase the communication between the fishing village and the outside world.
The old villagers are very resistant to these people, but the magicians and warriors in their team are very strong.
Under the shock of force, the older generation of villagers dared not speak out.
But the younger generation in the village yearns for the world described by these outsiders.
These foreigners stayed in the fishing village for a long time. They spent a lot of money to buy many things that were useless to them. They also left behind many novel gadgets and books introducing the outside world.
After they left, the village chief at the time immediately organized people to gather together all the things left by the strangers and burn them to ashes.
The village chief forbids everyone to talk about the outside world, and no one is allowed to leave the village.
However, once the gap of desire is opened, it will grow and spread uncontrollably.
Soon, escapees appeared in the village.
Although this man was captured, it has become a fact that the hearts of the people in the village are floating.
The village chief was very angry and killed the escapee in a very cruel way.
This is the first time this village has executed its own villagers.
However, such harsh measures could not stop the villagers from fleeing.
More and more people are leaving the villages, almost becoming a fad.
Even if some people choose to stay, they no longer focus on fishing, but start doing business with Harbor City.
The delicious fish of Heglo Fishing Village was also popular in Harbor City at that time and became a tourist feature.
The small fishing village that was once isolated from the world has gradually become like other surrounding fishing villages, nothing special.
Everyone originally thought that this was inevitable for development.
Until one day, the village chief called everyone in the village together.
"The sea is angry."
The old village chief said: "Let's go, this village will no longer exist.
We have broken our covenant and betrayed Him, and now He is coming to take vengeance on us.
Get out of here and don't come back.
From now on, do not engage in any business related to the sea. Because the sea will not give any more gifts.
Let's go! Get out of here before the tide comes in. "
At first, no one took it seriously. They just thought that the old village chief was too angry and said angry words.
But soon, everyone discovered that something was not right.
The tide of the sea water was unprecedentedly turbulent. In addition, the fishing village was already low-lying and was quickly submerged.
Fortunately, every family here has a fishing boat, so the village was not destroyed along with it.
Everyone left the fishing village with difficulty and docked in the harbor city.
After landing, I discovered that everyone had escaped, but the village chief was missing.
Some people turned back to find the village chief, but never came back.
Only then did everyone realize that the village chief was not joking by not letting everyone go back.
After they arrived at Harbor City, the city lord's attitude was not as enthusiastic as before. Their accommodation was hastily arranged and a fishing port opened.
The people who came out of Haiglo Fishing Village had no other means of livelihood and had no choice but to make a living by fishing.
But they were once unstoppable in the sea, but fishing was no longer as smooth as before.
Moreover, their fishing boats and fishing gear are always damaged inexplicably.
After finally making money from fishing, I will soon use it to repair fishing boats and fishing gear.
They just struggle to have enough food and clothing. Although they don't go hungry every day, they can't save any money.
It seems that there is an existence in the dark, and the curser and his family will never be able to profit from the sea again.
After listening to Old John's words, Wright and Unica fell silent.
This story sounds like it is a story about a village that was deeply loved by the sea, but failed to live up to the kindness of the sea and finally suffered retribution.
Wright rubbed his chin: "It feels like someone raised a pet cat and pampered it with delicious food and drinks. But this cat doesn't know good and is bewitched by a wild cat, and it insists on yearning for freedom outside.
It ran out when it had nothing to do, not only took out the good things given by the owner, but also brought dead mice, smelly socks and the like into the house.
Finally, its original owner couldn't bear it anymore and kicked it out. It has been living on the road ever since, and it's a tragic story where it never gets a good meal? "
Unika frowned: "It was a good story, but after you processed it like this, it turned into..."
"It's become easy to understand! I know, you don't need to praise me."
Wright looked at the sleeping old John: "In other words, Wildcat is the lord of Harbor City. Then why did he spend so much money and put so much energy into building a small fishing village?
What is he planning?
Isn’t it just a fish idea?
Moreover, there are several magicians in his team?
Why bring so many magicians to a fishing village where there is no threat?
How did a small city lord of Harbor City come to be so powerful and hire so many magicians to work for him? "
Unica shook her head in confusion: "Instead of worrying about this, I am more curious about what kind of existence the [him] the old village chief mentioned is.
In His eyes, what does the Haiglo Fishing Village do?
This supports a village of people for generations. Could it be that they really want to be pets?
Those outsiders tried their best to sow discord in the village, which ultimately led to the destruction of the fishing village.
You should be heading towards that [him], right? "
Wright pondered slightly: "It seems that I have to ask Mr. City Lord."
Unica said: "I think we should go look for the ruins of the fishing village."
"Anyway, it's getting late, let's go back first and then make a long-term plan!"
