At the same time, in the main hall of the art exhibition hall next door, many art students were surrounded by a skinned statue of a marine race, watching and studying.The statue is an imitation of the representative work of the ancient artist of the Red Moon Sea. He holds his own ear fin in one hand and points to the sky with the other.The artist of the original statue was obsessed with the stone, as if he wanted to liberate the soul imprisoned in the stone.

There are sculptures of art along the road, and many paintings are hung on the walls.Teacher Yinbeier is swinging her snow tail, introducing the works here to several advanced sea people:

"In the middle and late periods of the golden age, the great gods weakened their power day by day. The Seven Great Seas had their own gods as their beliefs. They were unwilling to obey the weak government of St. Yegana and longed for independence. Therefore, they were on the borders of the seas and the seven seas ruled areas. In addition, there are always some commanders who are eager to take war elements against the occupied territories and fight in armor. The winner invited many artists to paint the war pictures on the walls, rocks, huge canvases, palace tiles... …At that time, war was the most popular art subject. Painters had just invented the perspective method. They would spend hundreds or thousands of days to sculpt a painting as high as a hill, just to find the three-dimensional painting technique. Sense. Because commercial technology is not developed, artists at that time focused more on self-expression than attracting the love of others. Therefore, there are many different forms of art. In the hands of different artists, the same war can convey completely different colors."

The people who listened to her introduction were Sovereign Buco and his son, the son of Sovereign Gas, Gas Xitian, and their families and followers.

Teacher Yinbeier has memorized the draft hundreds of times, and by now he has read it very skillfully.Unfortunately, no one listened to her.Except for Gas Xitian, men only know that this teacher has night-like eyes, white skin and a frosty tail. She doesn't need to talk, they can all watch her happily in a daze for a day without feeling bored. .

The women who came along were not too happy.Having been robbed of the halo by such a sea clan female, they just want to leave here early.

Gas Xitian was absent-minded throughout.He neither listened to her, nor admired the paintings, he was always frowning and cold.

Yejia has tried to ignore him for a long time, but still couldn't hold back. After using the soundproofing operation, he said to him: "Please, brother, you came all the way from the Veda, just to let us admire your coffin face? How long have you been sluggish because of the disappearance of your fiancée, please smile."

"Did I say it was because of her?" Gas Xitian finally said.

His father is not only the suzerain of Storm Sea, but also the head of the Storm Party.Therefore, like his father, he also inherited the clairvoyance of the god of justice and the ability to manipulate sea storms-not only had his vision surpassed that of mortals, but he could also see through the abyss tribe's conspiracy to cross the storm well and attack the upper ocean.He is tall and straight, and he also has the snow-white hair that all the descendants of the Seagod are proud of.It's just that, unlike Su Shiye's casualness and Yejia's grace, he combed all his silver hair to the back of his head, revealing gold forehead ornaments and gold earrings, which outlines a perfect but impersonal face.His thick snow eyebrows were low in the front and high in the back, and they also outlined the coldness of a young officer.

"Isn't it because of her?" Ye Jia shrugged and relaxed more than him. "How many times have you kissed before, but the result is not very good. Now she is finally engaged to you, I thought you could take good care of you She, it didn't take long before the people were gone."

"I said it, not because of her. Also, don't talk about my engagement with her anymore, we haven't made it public yet."

"You are so good not to be public, can you count as a fiancée?"

"I gave her a diamond ring, she accepted it, and put it on. Doesn't it count as a fiancée?"

"Wow, I have sent the diamond rings. The progress is so fast, then I can only say, I hope you will not be like Su Shiye. Find her early and take her back to the storm sea."

"Yejia, are you annoying? Su Shiye always said that you are full of women in your head, and you didn't wrong you. You asked me why I was upset?" Xitian unlocked the sound insulation, "You didn't tell me Su Shiye will come."

"We don't even know he will come." Ye Jia continued to shrug his annoying shoulders, "I don't even know my dad."

"The dictator was only temporarily notified last night to come, saying that there are important things to do." Bukobalu said.

"If I knew he was coming, I would not come."

"Don't worry, we won't let you meet each other. But you have to promise me, if you meet in the Red Moon Sea, don't make trouble." After Xitian reluctantly agreed, Balu sighed and patted him. "Also, both you and your father should be mentally prepared. If you want to fight the Shengdu Party to the end, you have to accept one thing: Su Shiye has always been a far-sighted and ruthless person who decided You must do everything to the extreme. When he was a child, he dared to have the courage to fight against the Seagod. Now he has become the first man in the military and administration of the Holy Capital. I don’t need to say more. Many times, your father despised him. ."

"I didn't despise him, but I'm not afraid of him. But if Uncle Baru listens to a foreign junior like this, wouldn't he feel sorry for the Buco clan?"

In fact, starting from the end of the Golden Age, the Gas clan took the lead in the outbreak of war across the ocean.However, the strengths of the major clans were equal, and Quan Guanghai was exhausted after fighting for almost 3.3 million years.The dictator Su Shiye was the first to try to unify Quan Guanghai and restore the power of the holy capital. He succeeded for the most part.He was born as a hunter, and it goes without saying how much he has paid and sacrificed to this day.Baru understands these principles, and he thinks Xitian also understands.It's just that Xitian stubbornly resisted, always standing on his father's side, working against the Shengdu Party.

The Buke family also has a strong ability to behave in the world. Hearing what Xitian said, Balu was not surprised, not angry, but smiled: "Your family is really strong, and the ability to reproduce is first class. Not only do you look the same as your dad, you also talk the same, which makes people's ears uncomfortable."

Teacher Yinbeier began to introduce the theme painting of the same name by different painters, "The Battle of the Three Seas in the Well of the Storm".A painting is crowded with sea people of different costumes and classes, and three flags are flying above them: the three-legged emblem of the Saifi clan is like a three-legged wheel; the Gas clan is one On both sides of the balance are knives and swords hanging; the symbol of the Bu Ke clan is the "flower eye" that they have maintained for 400 million years.On the ground, there were the corpses of the sea clan whose fish tails had been cut off, the poor people who were pale and begging for mercy on the ground, and high above were the heroic officers holding the banner.Although the painting style is old and the realism is not high enough, it is a painting that can see the movement and hear the screams.

Another artist’s painting of the Battle of the Three Seas in the Well of Storms has become a noble style of painting with extremely low saturation: only the marine warriors in armor and their mounts are displayed in the painting, and they are also full of vigor and different postures. , The whole picture spreads from near to far to the abandoned palace stairs full of wild coral and seaweed.

When she finished the whole story, someone whispered a few words in Xitian's uncle's ear. He turned around and patted Yejia on the shoulder and said: "Next year's cooperation is all negotiated, Yejia, you helped me a lot. Up."

"That's good." Ye Jia smiled like a spring breeze.

"By the way, who is this girl? She is really a beauty."

In fact, like other men, Uncle Xitian stared at Teacher Yinbeier for a long time.Xitian also knew that his uncle was guilty of lustful old problems.He cast his reprimanding gaze on his uncle, intending to stop him as soon as his uncle said something unusual.

Yin Beier looked at Ye Jia in a flustered expression, wanted to shake his head, but didn't dare.

"She is our colleague," Ye Jia smiled. "My friend's fiancée, the god among the common people, even I can't help but stare."

Xitian's uncle couldn't help being disappointed, but thanks to Yejia giving him a step down the stairs, he also maintained his face: "Yejia, you child, don't you want to stay away from your nickname?

After a while, they all went out first. Teacher Yinbeier grabbed the corner of Ye Jia's clothes and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you...Thank you, Ye Jia."

"Huh? Why thank me?"

"Thank you for saving me..." She paused, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "My mother told me a long time ago that there is no future for us and the Poseidon men. The best result is just to be played with There is no chance for a single mother. Therefore, I have always kept a distance from people like you. But sometimes troubles will come. Like the situation just now, if you are not there, I will just avoid him, and I will eat again. Some suffering..."

"Teacher Yin, it's not easy for you."

"There have been many boys pursuing me. Even the Poseidon clan has serious desires to marry me, but I don't want to be a burden to others. I... sometimes I doubt myself..."

"Have you never promised them like this? Although there is reproductive isolation, there are many benefits that the Poseidon can bring to you."

"No." Yinbeier shook his head and said firmly, "My ambition has always been in education, and I have never thought about it."

"What about the Ocean Race, have you ever made a boyfriend of the Ocean Race?"

Yinbeier's cheeks flushed and shook his head.

"You are really a kind and good girl. I also think you deserve to be taken seriously." Yejia stroked the hair on one side of her cheek, her purple eyes were bright and moving, "You are beautiful, trust me."

Yinbeier widened those elven eyes, from ear fins to fish tails, he was extremely obedient: "I am very happy and satisfied every day like this."

After Yejia went out, Yinbeier stood still for a long time, took out a small silver brooch from his arms and opened it for a glance.There is a photo of her and a little girl.The little girl's face is simply a reduced version of her, but she has a pair of pointed ears and vertical pupils.

At this time, Officer Sacco swam to her and showed her certificate, and she quickly closed the brooch.Because she was one of the first to find Miss Bubble's body, he opened the door and asked the question about the murder case.

"I didn't see anyone at the scene of the crime." In fact, Yinbeier had already answered the same question before.

"Are you sure? Think about it again, haven't you met anyone on your way to the locker room?"

"Police Officer Saco, what's the matter?" Yinbeier blinked, "Is the person I met a murderer? Do I need to ask others..."

"No, I'll do it myself." Officer Saco smacked his lips and left unwillingly.

After Ye Jia went out, he realized that Xitian's uncle had not gone far.Uncle Xitian raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you believe what this Ocean Race female teacher said? She is indeed the best of the Ocean Race, and I also believe that she has many suitors. But really, Ye Jia, you think you will want to marry Her Seagod? Anyway, I don't believe it. You are a man, you know, wife and lover, two standards."

Ye Jia smiled with a lot of style, but what he said was not very pleasing: "Is the uncle still immersed in the humiliation of being rejected by the common people? Not every woman is Miss Bubble."

"I don't have one. Just ask casually, let her be so arrogant."

Fan Li and others wandered around the Hai Expo until dusk.Later, Lens joined them, and Dangdang went to see her boyfriend. They decided to find a place to eat and go to the slave market at night.

For things like eating, there is no You Can, everyone is more casual.Lan Si even felt that just buying some sea gills at a roadside stall to eat and it would be done.Sea gill is a kind of coral. In the Qing Dynasty of China on the tip of the tongue, people have long studied how to eat it-removing the small pin bones and axial bones, washing off the sand, and boiled with pork. It is crispy and delicious.However, Luo Ya’s roadside stall is not so particular. The last two steps are omitted, just remove the bones, put it in a cup, and drink it like pearl milk tea.

The marine body is not afraid of bacteria. Even if it eats sand, it can filter food and expel the sand with its gills.Therefore, although their food is fresh and delicious, it always feels unhygienic.Fanli was very entangled and didn't want to eat it, but they didn't have any objections, and it was hard to object.

"Or, let's go and eat something delicious?" Xinghai said suddenly, "I know there is a restaurant nearby. Crack Konghai cuisine ranks among the top five in Luoya, and the price is very affordable."

"You're not talking about'you craftsman', are you?" Seeing Xinghai nodded, Lan Si shook his head, "There are a lot of people in that store. Either make an appointment a week or queue for two hours. We don't have that much time."

In the top five restaurants in Luoya, no matter how close the price is, it won’t be cheap.Fanli quickly added: "Yes, we have to go to the slave market later, there is no time..."

"It doesn't matter, I have this." Xinghai took out a coupon.

"Instant food coupons?" Lan Si was surprised. "I heard that they won't issue this to others. How did you get it?"

"I work part-time in the'Marine Ship', and the owner of this restaurant gave my boss one. My boss gave it to me."

The other three were excited.Fanli was unable to resist.

Then, they had a seat in a restaurant where guests cooked dumplings.

After sitting down, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the bustling and spacious streets outside the window, with fast food restaurants, bars, one-way streets, and graffiti in the alleys.Above the city of Loya, the sun god reluctantly left the last strand of hair and dyed it all orange.But in the restaurant, the day seemed to have just begun: colorful lights flowed in turn, female service girls in miniskirts tweaking their hips and wagging their tails, wandering back and forth, and the guests next to them were discussing the cooperation negotiated at the Haibo.

Three girls sit on one side and two boys on one side.Lan Si observed the surrounding environment and showed admiration at Xinghai: "Ha, you are amazing. The part-time job of the'Sea Clan Ship' can be done. Fei Si and I were interviewed in the past and we were all brushed down."

"Sea Clan Ship" is the largest ship factory in Guanghai. It mainly produces private ships, 5200 ships per day. Its headquarters is in another industrial city in the Red Moon Sea, but the Luoya branch has a very creative way of displaying ships—— Cylindrical ship tower.The tower has 20 floors and is 92 meters high. It can store 800 ships, all of which are the latest models.

"Fortunately, the most profitable part of the'Marine Ship' part-time job is sales, but I can't do sales, so I can only be an Arcane Chip R&D assistant."

"Salary is second. You must know that in the future, you can write in your resume that you have worked on a marine vessel. It will be much easier if you want to stay in St. Jejana in the future."

The recipes are very good, dynamic, and ready to order with just a poke, which is as convenient as ordering on an iPad.Fan Li looked at the menu—to be precise, the price on the menu, and listened to them chatting. Suddenly, he saw Fei Si move his index finger to a large platter of live seafood. The various marine creatures on the plate were shaved and scaled. , But will squirm, almost making her myocardial infarction.She cast a look at Sister Red for help, but Sister Red was not interested in what she was eating. Instead, she studied the algae balls tied with a bow on the table.

"Fei Si," Xinghai said, "I'll change positions with you, and you can see what Lan Siting eats."

"Oh, good." Faith passed over with the menu.

Then, she found out that Xinghai was sitting next to and opposite to Fanli, and Fanli's reaction was completely different.Now, this girl looks like a kid on the New Year's Eve, with puffs on her cheeks, her eyes are gone.

Xinghai asked the waiter for a recipe and placed it in front of Fanli: "Jiang Juezhu from this store is delicious. Would you like to try it?"

Fanli wanted to say "good", but she still wanted to flip the price.

So cruel, I used to order food on land, and I have never paid such attention to price...

"The horse mackerel is also good. They are all fresh materials from the sea." Xinghai paused, and added, "They are all cooked."

"Hey, you know..." Fanli looked up in amazement.

"I found out in school. You like cooked food but don't like live food." Seeing Fanli's gratitude expression, Xinghai couldn't help but smile, "Then let's order these two dishes."

"Um, I'm not very hungry, you eat well..." I'm starving to death, so poor.

But Xinghai didn't hear it, and ordered both dishes.

Then, he continued to talk to the opposite Lansi about the employment prospects of the arcane major, and Fei Si added a few words from time to time.Fanli was listening to her, and she thought that Guanghai's work was quite interesting.But after a while, the waiter served dishes one after another.

Red sister's dishes are served first.During the meal, she accidentally touched Fan Li's schoolbag with her elbow, and Fan Li's notebook floated up.The paper was washed away by water, and it was densely written with various preparatory work and precautions for going to sea—all in Chinese.Fanli grabbed the notebook, closed it, and put it in the bag again.But it was too late, and those words were already in my eyes.

She was so scared that she almost lost her breathing function.

"I'm going, Fanli, can you do it," Lan Si sighed, "Do you even use human language to take notes?"

"Teached a little by myself." Although speaking calmly, Fanli couldn't control her heartbeat.

She glanced at Xinghai secretly, and he looked back: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm a little excited, I'm about to eat something delicious." Fan Li continued to play the role of Oscar queen.

"So that's the case." Xinghai smiled, "I thought you were so nervous because I was afraid that we could understand your diary."

"It's just a running account. I'm not afraid of being understood. I just want to practice a foreign language."

"Awesome."

Then, the dishes of Van Pear arrived.Xinghai ordered her steamed Jiang Suozhu with cold seaweed.In order to protect the heat, the air ball will always cover the food for one hour.She lowered her head and approached the air ball, picked up a piece of shellfish, and put it in her mouth. The texture was smooth and tender, and the taste of the cooked meat made her almost moved to tears.

Forget it, it's more expensive.If you really have no money, you will sell the beads that your uncle gave.

After devouring several mouthfuls, she suddenly discovered that this Jiang Juezhu was actually Jiang Jue's fat and tender posterior adductor muscle, that is, the belt.But the price is much cheaper than land.On land, people eat almost all the adductor muscles of scallops, because the belts will float on the bottom of the sea and secrete mucus. If artificially farmed, the entire pond will be covered with mucous membranes, making them unable to eat and thus die.The artificial sprinkling of scallops is only implemented in Japan, and other places are still wild, so the price is not cheap.

But on the bottom of the sea, the belt can live freely and is inserted collectively into the bottom of the sea like a forest of steles. It is easy to harvest, and the price is lower.

She wanted to share this experience with Xinghai, but she didn't dare to mention too much information on the land. She could only say: "Xinghai, you really can order food."

Xinghai's double-cooked sea mackerel platter is also here.The cooked half is to marinate the fish with soy sauce and lemon zest, and then grill it until the meat is fragrant; the raw half has been peeled, the meat is crystal clear, and it is cut like tofu on the right side, with a piece next to it. Stingray skin template with a stem-shaped aquatic plant tied to it.

"Then you taste this."

Xinghai distributed the ripe half to Fanli, used the stingray template to clamp the plant and grind it, opened it again, picked up a piece of sashimi, dipped it lightly, and said to Fanli, "Would you like to taste this? Is raw, but not alive."

"it is good."

"Then you have to lean closer. This condiment is all natural. No binder is added. It will be washed away when placed in sea water."

Fan Li pressed her hair, leaned over, picked up the piece of sashimi and ate it.

It turns out that the plant is mustard.But because it is ground into puree, it tastes very fresh and not particularly choking.The mackerel meat has the thorns removed, and the meat is thick and smooth, making it very enjoyable.

Having been in the sea for so long, she has been tortured by the cooking skills of Mrs. Hong and Dangdang every day. She thought the food of the Sea Clan was terrible.This is the first time she has discovered that their food is actually no less than land.As far as the taste of seafood is concerned, it is much more delicious than on land.But while eating, she found that Xinghai was not eating, but instead was watching her eat.

"What's the matter?" She looked up embarrassedly.

"Do you know that there is a shop near our school that has good mackerel? There are vinegar pickling and fire roasting. You can also use grilled fish skin and kelp."

"It didn't take long for the school to start, so you went to eat? You are not a hidden foodie."

"I like the smell of blood, and of course I like eating meat." Xinghai pushed her air ball over, stuck it next to her plate, and gave her a dipped sashimi. "If you want to eat it, I will bring it tomorrow. Go eat it. As a reward, you can make me the Balrog Sweet Crab again, okay?"

"No problem!" Fanli clapped her hands happily, "Which flavor should I have?"

"Both of them are not bad, it's hard to choose." Xinghai thought for a while, "Why don't you go to pick up the jealousy tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. Or you can pack both and we will eat separately."

"Okay."

Fanli smiled and nodded. For a moment, he forgot about going to sea, but felt that campus life was more promising.

"What's delicious, I want to come too." Faith's ear fins stood up.

"Don't make trouble, do you think everyone is the same as us?" Lan Si touched Faith with his elbow, "Let them both go by themselves."

Faey turned her head to face him, her eyes rounded.He frowned and looked disturbed.Then, the two people made eye contact with the 34-year-old couple.

——Who said before that they could not believe in sharks?

——Did I say something?

——Don’t pretend to be stupid. You will be bought after a meal or a topic of work?

——The friendship between our men is very simple, what do you know.

——Yes, I don’t understand, but the friendship between women is also very simple.I want to protect the vanilla pears and not let them develop too fast.

——It's up to you, Fanli is not my little sister.

——Then don't talk too much.

——I won't talk too much if you don't talk too much.

In the end, the two of them "negotiations" were over, they turned their heads again with a smile, and said "eat and eat".

***4.3 Small Theater***

Xitian: "No, is it my illusion? How do I think Xinghai seems to be chasing Fanli?"

Yejia: "Remove the'like'."

Xitian: "Aren't Su Shiye in a hurry?!"

Ye Jia: "What's the use of being anxious? Uncle didn't have a chance to play, Xinghai's mom Wenshi hammered."
