Parallel Army - The Sound of Turning Tide Chapter 19 Seafood Canning Workshop
Hitz was looking for the older fishermen to find out if there had been any strange movements recently or if anything strange had happened on the beach. But she searched for a long time but could not find the old fishermen. The fishermen here were all young and strong.
Alexander found a high place to see where the two of them were and then went to meet his teammates. "I found out about a place that is very suitable for hiding people. We can go there when we have time. It's on the sea. Now let's go to the beach first. It seems like
I can't find anything useful to ask."
"I have heard a lot of news, but it has nothing to do with Ronan. Let's go to the beach first," Fageni said.
"Okay, it seems that Alexander has asked for some information." Hitz was busy for a long time, but nothing was accomplished, so he could only listen to others.
"I'm going to the Countercurrent Trading Company in the evening. There's someone who has something that sounds useful, but if I buy it at the price, we might not have a few paise left." Alexander touched the deflated money bag in his pocket.
.
"What is it that costs you all your money?" asked Fageni.
"If we buy it, we probably won't be able to live in a hotel. But like Fageni, I'm also curious about what you're talking about." Hitz also asked.
While the three of them were muttering in the corner of the port, a steam battleship was preparing to enter the port.
"That is said to be a life-saving thing, but usually your luck will be bad. Okay, let's get ready to go now." Alexander looked at the steam battleship. "There are still battleships coming at this time. Are they the nobles who are watching the ceremony?"
"
The steel hull was full of scars, and the collision angle was crooked. After docking, the sailors and porters worked hard to move the large harpoon crossbow and several giant sea beasts down the ship. There were still some Heaths on the ship that could only be identified.
, a cursed iron cannon with dark magical fluctuations.
"This iron ship even has cannons attached with spells, but it was actually damaged like this." Heath sighed.
"How come all these ships are in such a horrible state?" Fageni doubted that there was anything on the sea that could hurt such a warship.
"Well..." Alexander looked at the sailors moving things. "Want to watch the fun here for a while?"
"Let's watch for a while." Fageni felt that this was not enough.
"Okay, let's leave later. Maybe Ronan doesn't want to cause trouble at the wedding." Alexander watched silently.
"We can only watch closely that day. If he shows up, we will catch him." Hitz also watched silently.
Although those sailors are also very strong, they can hunt down these giant sea beasts that look stronger than that scorpion with external objects alone. The power of this country really cannot be underestimated.
After unloading, the steam battleship drove to the outer dock for repairs. This took almost a whole morning, and it was already noon.
"Let's go, the excitement is over, it's time to move on." Fageni twisted his neck.
"Would you like to go to the beach now?" Hitz rubbed his arm.
"Would you like to listen to what those sailors who have just disembarked from the ship have to say?" Alexander kept staring at them. "Generally speaking, these people will get into the tavern and start bragging, right?"
"Then Hiz and I can go to the beach and have a look. You can go and find out and then come back to meet us. Anyway, you can run faster than us." Fageni suggested.
"That's okay. But be careful, don't fight if you encounter something." Alexander went to the tavern to listen to the bragging of those sailors.
"Ah, generally speaking, those people do go to the tavern to brag like the adventurers or mercenaries in Guzhuo Town. Although it is a guess, it is very likely." Heath said these useless words again.
.
"Let's go." Fagenius watched Alexander leave, got up and headed to the seaside. Walking along the beach from the edge of the port eliminates the need to enter and exit the city.
"Okay, Fageni, let's go." Hitz looked at Fageni and then followed him to the beach.
Except for a small number of sailors who had worked since last night and went home to sleep, the rest went to drink and eat meat as Alexander expected, especially since these people had just received their wages and had money on hand to enjoy...
…Not to mention how much money does it cost to drink a few beers?
Alexander, who followed them in, ordered a glass of beer and sat silently near the bar listening to their bragging.
Among these sailors, there are three guys who are quite special. The first one gives people a very bold feeling. Although the sailors around him said nothing, everyone followed him. He was also the group with the largest number of sailors, and he was the leader.
The second one has a gloomy temperament. There is a small group of less than ten people around him. These people are all armed and have more or less tattoos on their faces and bodies.
The last one was sneaky and did not move with any companions. After saying hello, he walked alone towards the corner of the city where the Church of the God of Storms was located. There seemed to be no residential buildings there.
When Alexander saw the sneaky man, he couldn't help but drink it in one gulp, and then followed him quietly.
The guy was very cautious and turned around many times during the process, but failed to find Alexander. Finally, the guy entered a small workshop that processed canned seafood.
Alexander first observed the surrounding environment and noted the location, then quietly moved over to see if she could hear what the people inside were saying. She put her ear close to the wall in the alley, but unfortunately she didn't hear anything.
Alexander walked away suspiciously, trying to find a position to stay hidden and watch the activities in the workshop from a distance.
This is a workshop for processing seafood. If we do not consider the steps such as scaling and slicing, the remaining process is to dry the seafood under the shed in the yard and then pickle it in the jar inside the house.
No one is currently working in the yard and there are no windows in the house.
Alexander thought for a while. If he didn't go in now, he wouldn't be able to get any information. But Fageni and the others went outside the city and now they need to find helpers as soon as possible. The Naga Kanas from before seems to be a good candidate, although they haven't met each other for many times.
However, he seemed quite idle and might agree to help. Without further ado, she made up her mind and went to find Kanas.
Alexander learned from the human soldiers at the Duke's Palace that Kanas was on duty and that the wedding was going to be held tomorrow. It was absolutely forbidden to go out at this time. She felt quite a headache, but gritted her teeth and went back, deciding to go out alone.
Break into.
Alexander used the low wooden box in the alley as a leverage point to easily climb into the yard of the workshop, carefully walking between countless dried goods to get outside the house.
During the process, Alexander vaguely heard conversations in the house, but they seemed to be in the basement. Because they were separated by a wall and a floor with good sound insulation effect, he still couldn't hear what was being said clearly.
Alexander carefully walked into the house, paying attention to whether there were traps and early warning spells, as well as the location of the entrance to the basement. At the same time, he paid attention to the sounds of several people talking in the basement.
The sound was not difficult to distinguish. If you listened carefully for a while, you could tell that there were two people talking. Fortunately, the door was not locked. Alexander opened the door very slowly, and then confirmed that there was no trap.
As soon as you enter the house, on the left hand side is the trap door to the basement entrance. There is no cover, and there are rows of clay pots nearly one meter high on the floor.
This floor is only five feet high. Alexander has to bend down to move. There is a wooden ladder at the end of the right hand direction to go to the second floor.
"Brother, the caviar this time will definitely be a big seller."
"Second brother, try this beef steak."
"Yeah, it's delicious! But there's still something missing."
"Perhaps some sour or bitter seasonings should be added to enhance the appetite and highlight the freshness of the caviar."
After hearing the detailed content, Alexander walked away dejectedly with a dark face, and went back to the tavern to see if the other sailors were still bragging.
After Alexander found several taverns, when he found them, the sailors were mostly drunk, cursing and complaining, and helped each other go home.
Alexander felt that it was time to find a god as a supporter. In the afternoon, he might as well go to the Church of the Holy Glory God to learn more about the scriptures related to the beliefs of Kalevin and Delusticus.
Alexander learned about it at the Cathedral of the Holy God and learned that becoming a believer does not require observing the precepts, but if he is caught doing behavior that is completely contrary to the precepts, believers will not be able to do it.
Generally speaking, the first stage is the general believers who only pray when there is an emergency, the second stage is the ordinary believers who come to church to pray every week, the third stage is the devout believers who strictly abide by the precepts, and the fourth stage is the fanatic believers who do not
said.
The first two stages have nothing to do with the realm of God, and it will take a long time for paladins and priests to become believers in at least the third stage before they can feel the divine response.
As far as the commandments themselves were concerned, Alexander felt that it was not suitable for her just to restrain her appetite.
However, understanding these precepts is also of great use. At least she now understands some of Brandon's seemingly strange words and deeds before, which can be explained now.
"If you can't eat something good, how can you live this life? What fun is there in life...why?" After Alexander understood this, he at least understood that trying to hug his thighs would not be realistic in the short term.
Although Alexander had already passed the meal time, her stomach was empty. She decided to go back to eat first and teach Chester the elemental blending when she had time. When the time was almost up, she would go to the trading company.
