Her 430 Million Years

On Jiante Day, the Ocean Expo opened at seven, and Fanli, Dangdang, Faith, and Red Sister waited at the door at six forty.

This is the 36th Hainan International Expo held by Luo Ya in China. More than 2,300 companies and trade unions participated in the exhibition, including the Art Museum, Arcane Museum, Seafood Museum, Armament Museum, Medical Technology Museum, and Life Twelve exhibition halls.As always, the latest products of various sea areas have achieved the "first show in the sea" at the expo.

The dome of the Hai Expo building is much taller than other buildings, and the appearance of the surrounding buildings is crushed like a toy building.The opening ceremony began at seven o’clock. Large swaths of sea people dressed in snow crossed the square, flanked by the regular troops of St. Jergana, with red crowns of elite troops on their heads—the only symbolic army was The commander has it.

In order to stabilize the order, all visitors must not swim too high, and at least the tail fin must touch the ground. Red sister's petite figure suffers very much.She raised her head and said curiously: "Hey, how can there be an army of the Holy Capital?"

"The dictator is here." At the same time, Faey impatiently pushed away the fat uncle who made her feel uncomfortable.

The red sister stared wide-eyed: "Isn't it! He actually came by himself?"

Fan Li was surprised.

Su Shiye is here?Oh no-Uncle is here?

The army is lined up by the border grid, which has the most efficient mobility in the entire ocean.They lined up side by side, holding three-meter-long tridents and round nickel shields. Each column was lined up by twelve soldiers, with a total length of about two kilometers.Among them is the clergy queue, that is, the striking white snow. They are all dressed in solid Toga, four in a column, and the light of blessing is exuded all over.Because of their existence, the meaning of this phalanx is not just an army.They are still the faith of Guanghai and St. Jerjana.

The hooded shawl of the leading male sea clan is dressed in a style between the bishop and the officer: both the officer’s ribbon and epaulettes, and the scepter symbolizing the gods, when there is no wave, the long cloak of gold thread The embroidery reflects the sea light.

In front of a female statue, he lowered the brim of his hat, revealing his shoulder-length silver hair.He wears a holy light sea feather on one side of his ear, which is the largest and brightest in the entire light sea.The waves rippled and lifted his cloak, revealing the longest light fin that Fanli has ever seen.

The red sister whispered, "Isn't Su Shiye a hunter clan? Why does the sea god clan have a tail fin?"

"That is the holy fin. You can say it is exclusive to the Poseidon clan, or it can be said to be exclusive to him. Anyway, Quan Guanghai is the only one who has it." Fei Si looked around and suppressed his voice to the lowest level. "Because, Su Master Shiye's body is not his own. From a biological point of view, his original body died in the war long ago."

Can someone resurrect after a war?Fanli was surprised at first, but quickly remembered the knowledge he had learned in class, and tentatively said: "His current body is made by the Lord of the Lord."

"Yes, Master Su Shiye is also a strange person." Fei Si sighed, "The body of ether is not something that everyone can adapt to. Before many careerists went crazy and wanted to get in, but they all died at the altar of ether. Below. The Ethereal Altar is a paradise. I don’t know how many greedy bones were swallowed by the surrounding green sharks. Back then, if it weren’t for Lord Su Shiye who was dying, Sect Master Oda wouldn’t use this method to fight him, right? Thinking of unintentionally inserting willows into shade."

Dangdang sighed: "I think the most sad thing is Master Su Shiye's infatuation. Princess Fengjin has been dead for so long, and he has remained single until now. You know, the body of ether is the body of the top hunter. You know!"

Sister Hong just covered her mouth and smiled: "Dangdang, how do you talk like an Orca girl, it's really hopeless."

"Know what..." Fan Li looked ignorant.

"What do you mean, what is a top hunter? It means that all aspects of combat effectiveness are top-notch! Any, what, where, and how can he live like a monk!"

"I suspect you are driving, but I have no evidence."

Fanli speaks seriously, but his mood is very complicated.This man was nothing like a monk, she could testify.

Su Shiye knelt down on one knee in front of the statue, as if he was completing some ritual with the high priest beside him.The statue is a woman with arms outstretched and half-open eyes looking down below.She was dressed like a nun, her hair was wrapped in a turban, and her tail showed only the caudal fin.Her eyebrows were tight, her eyes were compassionate, there was a kind of transcendent peace and divinity.

"What are they doing now?" Dangdang said.

"Sacrifice, pray to the Lord of the Endless Sea." Fei Si made a "hush" action.

"Oh oh oh..."

It should be a dark blue statue.Although Fanli does not believe in the so-called gods, she still admires the Guanghai culture sincerely.They combined humanity, religion and science and arcane art seamlessly.

After the sacrifice, the dictator quickly retreated.Priests, clans, and government officials came out to speak one after another. The process ended at 8:30 and the three girls entered the exhibition hall with the crowd.

After entering, Fan Li deeply felt the long-lost "sea of ​​people".I saw a lot of things that were unheard of and only suitable for use in the sea.

For example, squalene cosmetics, something that Red Sister is thinking of.It is the liver oil of sharks, but it needs to be combined with a special potion and a small amount of barnacle glue, which is the gland at the bottom of the tentacles, to become insoluble in water.

She also saw medicine made from sea snake venom, medicine made from shark cartilage and fish fins, deep-sea fish cultivated by special techniques to extract fish oil and potion crystals, and bone fragments can be disassembled to form a crab bone toy and spray head. The strange therapeutic equipment that sprays mystery liquid into the gills... and the resurrected sea-colored soft coral blanket that is so beautiful that it is too beautiful to be removed.

This kind of blanket is handmade and decorated with a lot of pearls. It is particularly gorgeous, and you really can't see what material it is without paying attention.Fan Li couldn't help but look more.Resurrection Sea Carpet Commercial said in a Hai ethnic language with a little big tongue accent: "On the last day of today, I will give you a discount and you will ask for a price. It is handmade without arcane magic, and the pearls are not dyed. If you buy it, your friends will especially envy you. Only 20,000 Five floats."

Hearing this number, Fan Li pinched among the people and took a deep breath: "I live in a slum." She quickly slipped away.

After observing the product, she finally understood that the paper used in the sea is made of thermoplastic resin and inorganic fillers. No wonder it won’t be wrinkled and opaque even if it is soaked in sea water.Not to mention sea water, even if vegetable oil with a refractive index of 1.47 is poured on it, it will not make the paper transparent, but will flow directly from above.

Finally, they finally went to the art museum and visited the Shipwreck Pavilion.Fanli went in with excitement, but was disappointed: Although there were a lot of sunken ships inside, almost all of them were relatively old styles, so old that there was no text information on them, only the dilapidated hulls soaked in sea water.Moreover, in the detailed description of each ship, it only mentions which sea area they were discovered by the sea people, but did not mention which country they came from, and the name of the sea area when they set off.

From the design of the ship and the furnishings on the ship, she can probably speculate which culture it belongs to.For example, the wreckage of a ship has wine cans and square white sails, which looks more like an ancient Greek merchant ship.But there is so little information that she still cannot determine where she is through such a ship.

Seeing this, Fanli decided to ask her own question: "Have you heard of the Titanic?"

Dangdang and Sister Red shook their heads together.

In addition, Fanli only knows about the shipwrecks that have been salvaged ashore by humans, such as the Zhongzhou, Haier's Marson, and Mary Rose.Of the shipwrecks she knows, only the Titanic sank in 1912, and it is still in the deep sea nearly four kilometers.Because the hull was rusty to the point of fragility, a slight wave of water would collapse, and humans did not salvage it after discovering it.Maybe the seabed name is different from the land name.

"I don't know much about how humans calculate time." When she mentioned the position of four kilometers, Faith tilted her head. "However, the four kilometers of the sea floor is the territory of the Abyss, and we can't control it. And we follow Human beings are not in the same dimension, and information is not necessarily completely symmetrical."

Fanli became excited and almost asked her directly, "Are we not in the same dimension as humans?" Fortunately, she controlled it, and coughed twice and said, "Fei Si, in fact, I have never understood why we can’t be in the same dimension as humans. In the dimension, peaceful coexistence."

"This is also helpless." Fei Si thought for a moment. "If we are in the same dimension with them, wouldn't we all expose ourselves? Homo sapiens is such a terrible species, it is totally unable to live in harmony with nature. In a mechanical age, countless species on land disappeared from the earth, including their own Neanderthals. And our marine people have a history of 450 million years, and there is still no artificial extinction of any species. ."

No wonder we haven't seen any humans who dive.The mystery that has plagued Van Li for a long time is finally solved.But when Dangdang once said that she had encountered humans on land, it showed that when going to sea, the citizens of the Sea Clan had a way to enter the human dimension.She has to study this point carefully when she goes back.

After that, they followed various exhibition halls to the jewelry area.

In the past, Fanli didn’t know much about pearls. I only knew that freshwater shellfish could produce up to forty or fifty pearls and had no nucleus; while sea shellfish could only produce one or two pearls, which had nuclei. The main component of the nucleus was shells and the shape was round like Manually, the output is also very low.Therefore, the price of sea shells is generally much higher than that of freshwater shells.

Most pearl shops have a pile of bumpy freshwater shell jewelry at the door. The price of jumping off the property attracts the bead mother to buy it. The expensive ones are all in the shop.There was a very high-end store with no inferior pearls and no salesperson. On the contrary, Fan Li was a little curious, and dragged Dangdang and Sister Hong in.

There is a natural reef in the middle of the shop. The pearls displayed on it are all "freshly baked"-three large shells have just died and were forcibly stripped, revealing the nacre of tender meat, silver minerals and organic matter inside, tender meat There are pearls of different colors and sizes: a freshwater berry pearl is like a colorful marble. There are several colors of deep purple, lavender, ultramarine, sea blue, orange, pink, and rose red. People almost have the feeling of first love; a thick Markov mother-of-pearl, the earth-colored shell is wrapped with round black pearls; the other large mother-of-pearl is wrapped in a pair of golden pearls, just like the eggs. At first glance, it is the raw material of luxury earrings.

The three girls were all attracted by the beautiful pearls and watched in front of the reef for a long time.

"Look, this is the specialty of Bodhi Sea, the top golden seawater pearl of Gwanghae." Dangdang said excitedly, pointing to the golden pearl.

"Wow, look good..." Red sister Xingyan.

"Really look good..." Fanli Xingxingyan.

"You superficial women..." Fei Si was blinded.

However, seeing the age, race, and clothing of the four guests, several shop assistants couldn't afford to promote sales. They raised their eyes and continued to carefully make handmade necklaces, register product information, and sort out the guest list.

But the indifference of the clerk did not extinguish their enthusiasm.They swam around, "wow" non-stop like elementary school students.

A pearl was in a locked independent crystal cabinet, and Fan Li mistakenly thought it was a rock.This is the largest pearl she has ever seen in her life-it weighs 38 kilograms, is 71 cm in diameter, and it is crumpled, like a durian painted with bright white paint.This is naturally not as neat as a round pearl, but the irregular beauty and the unique luster of the pearl happen to release the wonders of nature.

This is not a jewelry store at all, but a museum!

Looking at the long price of this giant pearl, Van Pear counted it several times.The last thought was "I can't afford to offend", I continued to swim to the side, and was attracted by another mother-of-pearl.

This mother-of-pearl grows rather unusual, it is an elliptical snail with a light orange surface with some dark brown spots.The following introduction says its name "Coconut Snail". The beads it produces are placed aside, orange-yellow, with complex and gorgeous flame patterns on the surface.

Fan Li waved his hand and said, "Look at it, this is very special, it doesn't look like a pearl anymore."

Someone approached and swam behind her, bringing a wave of clear water.

For the first time, Fanli saw this kind of pearl, pointed at it, and never looked away: "Look, look."

The people behind did not speak.

"Hello miss, this is the Melody Pearl. I'll show it for you." The manager was too lazy to lift his eyelids just now, and now he speaks like a slave. He diligently takes out the entire pearl holder, and carefully pushes towards the Fan pear.

Not only that, but several other shop assistants hurried over to help straighten the coconut snails and wipe the surface of the Melody beads.

"Ah, no, I just looked at it casually." Fanli was taken aback by their sudden change of attitude.

"It's okay, you can watch it as you please." At this point, the manager pointed to a pair of Merlot earrings next to him, and said to the clerk next to him, "Hurry up and give this pair of earrings to the customer."

"Really, really not."

But no matter how Fanli refused, it had no effect.The clerk put the pair of earrings in the sponge cushion, held it in front of Fanli in both hands, and bowed his head respectfully.Fanli couldn’t even pay one percent of its price. I felt embarrassed, so I could only carry its pendant, and admire it for a while, afraid of breaking it, and said, “It’s really beautiful. You have all the pearls. It’s so beautiful, but I don’t have so many..."

The water and lights shone on the pearl, and it instantly penetrated like a mirror, and also vaguely reflected the reflection of her and the people around her.That person is much taller than her, obviously not Dangdang.

"do you like it?"

A man's low voice rang in his ears, like a sea wave in the abyss, instead of gravity, dragging away her seven souls and six souls.

Just the sound will make your heart beat faster.Fanli has a bad feeling.This premonition made her head empty for two seconds before slowly turning her head back.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Fanli didn't believe it.

How can two people who have never met each other have feelings for no reason?

However, the moment she stared at the man in front of her, as last time, she was taken aback for a moment, her heart stopped beating completely, and then hit her chest in a disorderly manner just like being rescued from drowning.

She saw him again.

He was still wearing the sacrificial costume just now, with a white hooded cap buttoned on his head, covering his long hair, and his long cloak swayed like seaweed in the water.The fragments of snow-white hair exposed on his forehead also danced gently, rubbing the deep brow bones and nasal bones as deep as the Grand Canyon, as well as those beautiful eyes that were lighter than Jinquan.These eyes were casting her calm and friendly gaze at the moment, but after she became a sea clan, she was far more sensitive to predators than when she was a human.No matter how friendly he was, the instinct of the Ocean Race made her a little scared, but at the same time she felt deeply attracted.

This kind of chaotic mood swings scared her.She has always thought that "fateful love and hate" will only appear in fictional stories.

This is an old enemy, a gambling, a trap, a high-risk risk, a poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden, and a weakness that she should stay away from and avoid.

But this time, she was able to hide her emotions.She bowed her head and saluted him respectfully: "Master Su Shiye."

Su Shiye didn't answer her words, but just lifted her chin to a larger live coconut snail in the cabinet: "Go and open this snail and make her a forehead ornament."

"Yes, your dictator." The manager put his right hand on his left chest and bowed to him.

Behind Su Shiye, Dangdang, Faey and Sister Hong opened their mouths wide, and their jaws almost fell to the ground.Outside the store, the sacred red guards waited like sculptures.The whole pearl shop was so quiet as if there were only a few girls' heartbeats left.

"No, no... no more." Fanli's head shook like a rattle, "I, I, I, we just looked at it casually."

Fan Li was very nervous.In the eyes of the clerk, this picture is very happy: the dictator is talking to a cute passerby schoolgirl, from her to her classmates, everyone has become a stiff wooden chicken.

A glamorous woman with glasses followed Su Shiye.She is the secretary-general of the dictator, with blond hair tied high behind her head, without a strand of extra hair coming down, her face is very delicate and perfect.But when she spoke, she had no emotions like a robot: "Since the dictator said it will be given to you, please stop holding it and accept it."

"It's not holding it, it's just that there is no merit. I have no reason to accept the gift from Master Su Shiye."

Su Shiye smiled: "Of course I have a purpose. It's about the future of the Shengdu Party, so you're welcome."

"If it is for this purpose, I can't even accept it. As a citizen of the Guanghai Federation, I have an obligation to cooperate with the dictator in investigations."

"Very good. I accept this reason. Then when will Miss Fanli be free, let's sit down and talk?"

"anytime."

"Then three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, we will see you here."

"it is good."

Then Su Shiye left the pearl shop with the secretary general and his entourage.At the same time, Fan Li saw Xinghai appear at the door, and was somewhat surprised to watch the group of Shengdu go out.The others looked at Fanli in a daze.

After a while, the four girls had just left the pearl shop. Suddenly, a Su Shiye's entourage came over and handed Fan Li a box: "Ms. Fan Li, Master Su Shiye gave you this."

Under the strong crowd of Dangdang and Sister Hong, Fan Li took the box.When I opened it, it was actually filled with Merlot beads and earrings that she did not accept just now.A card is attached to it with the following content:

Miss Fanli,

This is a gift from a friend, not from a dictator.

Men are satisfied by giving little things that girls like.Take it, just take it for me.

Su Shiye

"My god of Buco, the dictator and his wife are too romantic!" Dangdang said, covering his face.

"Fanli, what happened, I don't understand!" Red sister was shocked.

"This is a gift for you!" Fei Si exclaimed, "Do you have any great secret? Why would he come to you in person?"

Fanli scratched his head and said, "I can't understand either. I will take a torture tomorrow."

The call that Su Shiye came to talk about and the final signature of the card were very puzzling... But to Fanli's surprise, he was so considerate.No matter how she just verbally refused to express her lack of interest, he also noticed her preferences.In order not to burden her, she also said it was for himself.With such a high EQ, even if he is not a dictator, he should be a very popular man among women.

It wasn't until Su Shiye completely left that Fan Li's mind became sober.The feeling of confusion and infatuation just now gradually dissipated.She always felt that her overly strong feeling for Su Shiye did not originate from her soul.Because the relationship was too intense and too sudden.

Besides, she remembered another key message...

Well, I accept it, thank you uncle.Maybe I can recognize a kiss tomorrow, .

Then Xinghai swam in.Obviously there are other people, but it seems that he can only see Fanli alone: ​​"Fanli, I can meet you here."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Fanli smiled very brightly.

Sure enough, compared to the sense of crisis that Su Shiye brings, it is more pleasant to get along with Xinghai...

"Hey eh, Xinghai, you are here too..." Dangdang looked at him with some excitement, then looked at Fanli, "Wow, what's the matter with this strange current between you two? You two really There is a problem!"

"Dangdang, you have become more in love with your boyfriend." Fan Li gave her a push.

"The two have problems." Xinghai pointed in one direction.

There was a couple of students wandering around there. The girl took the boy's arm, rested her chin on his shoulder, and kissed him on the cheek from time to time.

Fanli, Dangdang, and Fei Si were all taken aback--that was Liuxiang and You Can.

At the same time, the two people turned around and just happened to see a few of them.Liuxiang's first reaction was to swim away from the tail. You Can looked at them and was in a dilemma. Finally, he put his left hand on his right chest, bowed deeply to them, and ran after Liuxiang.

"Let me just say, why can't the Hai Expo be called Liuxiang?" Faith looked unpredictable, "They are so fast."

***4.3 Small Theater***

Ye Jia: "Although the little angel of Xinghai can be a wolf and milk boyfriend, but the coconut has a high value and the charm of a mature man... how to say, uncle is still very loving."

Yeli Party: "Ah, ah, ah, you have enough author!! Don’t play with this stalk, don’t let your character call him uncle!!!"

Starry Party: "Long live uncle! Long live uncle!!"

Xinghai: "Hello, uncle, I will give your niece happiness."

Su Shiye: "..."
