Chapter 72

In the morning, Shirley prepares breakfast. Harvey has developed the habit that ordinary people in the world will develop. He takes time to read the newspaper and find out what has happened recently. Since the announcement of the bankruptcy of Leonard publishing house some time ago, all kinds of newspapers and periodicals have sprung up like mushrooms. The result is neither good nor bad. In a short period of time, the quality of newspapers and periodicals is uneven, and everyone wants to take the place of the former industry leader.

"Wow," Harvey read the newspaper while drinking milk.

"The conch has captured a siren! In the port of nottexas, people gathered around. "

The newspaper headlines were written in big black, and the black and white characters were very conspicuous. Harvey was also attracted by the title.

When it comes to sirens, Harvey imagines the appearance of mermaids in his mind. In fact, sirens and mermaids belong to the same biological category, but they are not the same thing at all. Sirens are like human bodies and fish tails, and their ears are like fins of fish. They are beautiful and feminine in appearance. If a mermaid is a human, then a sea demon is a gorilla at most. They don't have the same IQ as a mermaid or a human, and the food is usually raw meat.

According to legend, they were originally ugly monsters. In order to eat people, they became beautiful women according to the memory of sailors. Their natural songs were like the fish in the deep sea. In the absolute darkness, the small light bulb on the top of the fish's head was a more lethal bait than anything else.

Among sailors, there is a saying that people are really fascinated by the wonderful songs of sea monsters and marvel at their beautiful appearance. However, once they see the way they eat, they will realize that this creature is the devil of the sea. It's not that the sirens simply don't look good when they eat, but when they eat, their heads usually split from the mouth, and then they open the real big mouth of the blood plate, and the mouth is covered with serrated tusks.

"The siren was locked in the harbor by the captain of the conch until he died of starvation, to alert other sailors."

Harvey became interested when he read this sentence. The abnormal creatures in the kingdom of Baron have basically disappeared, and even in the prosperous era of magic, there are rare cases of catching sea monsters. Sea monsters usually occupy isolated islands and seldom attack people in groups. Instead, they use enchanting songs to lure ships to come near the island and sink on the rocks, which is convenient for them to hunt and has low risk.

The ships that enter the isolated island have no return. Even if the ship is protected by the caster, there will be some exotic sea monsters in the isolated island, which is the home of sea monsters. Because they live too long and devour too many people's memories, they become more cunning, and there is no lack of the existence of the ability to awaken the strange.

Any sailor who can come back alive to meet a siren can be called a brave one, let alone catch one.

Harvey has been studying magic crystals for weeks, planning to go out and have a look at the real sirens.

Nottsas port is a small port in Elroy city. Elroy city is not a coastal city, but it is close to a big lake, which leads directly to the sea, so the shipping industry is still developed. In the past, Harvey only spent more than half an hour in a carriage. Except for the more prosperous streets, the ground in most areas of Elroy was not even paved with stone slabs. Harvey felt that his skeleton was about to be shaken away when he bumped all the way.

After getting out of the carriage, Harvey smelled a fishy smell. The environment of the port was very bad. On a sunny day, the ground was muddy, and the roadside was full of fishermen setting up fish stalls to yell at passing guests. There are wooden sailboats of different sizes on the edge of the port, from which many sailors carry goods.

Catching a siren in nottexas harbor is a well-known legend. Any sailor who asks for directions can sing the conch to Harvey.

According to the sailor's instructions, Harvey walked along the harbor for a few minutes and found the target.

There are several circles of people in and out of the harbor, which is very conspicuous. After Harvey pushed past, he saw a simple platform made of wood. On the platform, a little girl with a fishtail was tied with four iron chains. Her body was small, her long hair was scattered around her waist, and she was beautiful blue. The ears like fins were hidden in her blue hair, She was lying on the board, so I couldn't see her.

This is Harvey's first time to see an abnormal creature in the real sense in the world. The snow-white skin of the sea demon seamlessly connects with a pale blue fishtail. The scales of the fishtail are shining in the sun, as beautiful as sapphire.

Harvey heard the people around him.

The man dressed as a gentleman shook his head regretfully and said, "I've been hungry for two or three days. What a pity."

The sailor next to him was impatient and sarcastic? The siren is a cannibal. Sir, it's so pitiful. Why don't you put your right hand in front of her and try it? I'm sure she'll break your arm in one bite. "

Someone else muttered, "this evil creature should be tied to the scaffold and burned to death!"

After much discussion, a man in a coat raised his hand and exclaimed, "is this siren for sale? I can buy it for two thousand barons! "

The seaman standing by the wooden platform shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry, sir. Our captain said that these sea demons should be killed. This time we put them here to starve them alive to dispel people's fear of sea demons and reveal their true features. These sea demons have the ability to charm people's hearts, Our captain doesn't want to see someone buy it and be lured into its food. "

"Oh! Please don't worry about that. I'll put it in a cage. "

The sailor opened his arms and laughed: "Sir, you should know that its tongue has been cut off by us. No sailor with strong will can resist their singing. If its injury recovers, I can guarantee that as long as you hear its voice, even if you put it in the iron cage, you will be willing to be its food."

The man who wanted to buy the siren was still a little reluctant. He hesitated and said, "I'm willing to pay 3000 barons. Whatever happens after I buy it has nothing to do with you."

3000 barons, which is more than the total annual revenue of Hailuo's cargo transportation, makes sailors hesitant.

Harvey, who had been watching the play, suddenly raised his hand and said in a loud voice, "I'll pay five thousand barons."

At the beginning, the bidder and the crowd were all surprised. They turned to Harvey. What's the use of five thousand barons for a monster?

The sailor replied cautiously, "I can't decide this matter. Sir, if you allow me, you can talk to our captain in person."

At the beginning of the offer, the man hesitated and did not continue to increase the price.
