The summer in the north has finally started to heat up. Summer and autumn are the only times of the year that are most suitable for fishing. At this time, the climate is suitable for calm and calm weather, which has prompted the fishermen of the Sardinian Kingdom of Hammond to get busy at the Port of Warm.
Many women from Sardinia set sail under the watchful eyes of their husbands, carrying hope and dragging fishing nets to earn a living for their families.
At this moment, the plane trees in the north are flourishing. The overnight collapse of Narli has made the Sardine Kingdom almost give up its resistance and start anew to accommodate the declining Frost Phoenix Faith. However, faith is only the first step in peaceful evolution.
Everyone can see that the decadent feudal royal power is gradually weakening under the wings of the phoenix.
Perhaps within a few generations, the Sardine Kingdom will return to the embrace of the sycamore tree, and then the northern territory will be reunited like the southern continent.
But all this seems to have nothing to do with the Sardinian woman wearing coarse linen clothes and combing a snow-white ponytail at the edge of the warm harbor.
"Miss Alagina, let's leave first!"
The fishermen around her, carrying harpoons and fish buckets, greeted her with a smile, and the expressionless lady nodded slightly to show respect.
She looked at the beautiful scenery outside the harbor, and after a moment of pause, she walked towards the harbor with a few bottles of beer that she had kept at her feet, approaching her small fishing boat docked on the shore.
On the deck, a handsome man wearing a fur coat was wiping the deck with his bare feet.
His hanging black hair was slightly stirred by the sea breeze, thus revealing his extremely good-looking profile. He was none other than the gentleman from Nali, Fisher.
Just looking at the back of the busy figure on the deck from a distance, Alagina couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and even her steps couldn't stop being a little brisker.
Alagina jumped onto the boat gently, causing the boat to shake slightly, and Fisher, who had his head lowered, to turn around and look at her with a smile.
"You're back."
"Ah" Alagina nodded with a blush on her face, and then seemed to not know what to say, so she raised the beer in her hand again, "I bought wine."
"That's it, you can drink it when you set sail later."
"Well, everything is ready and we can set off immediately."
Alagina nodded expectantly, then carried the wine to the side and put it away next to the captain's cabin.
Although Fisher often comes to the North, he goes to Sycamore Tree more often.
Originally, Alagina had been staying there, but after a long time she still felt uncomfortable, so she returned to Sardinia, only occasionally going back to see her sisters who lived well there.
As for herself?
She didn't lack money or power, so she wanted to be able to come and go freely, experience all kinds of life, and at the same time experience the feeling of having a family with Fisher.
This was the case at the moment, she and Fisher were like the fishermen couple in Sardinia, preparing to go out to sea on the beach.
Once fishermen in the north go to sea, they will not come back for ten days and a half, and they will not return until they have caught enough fish to sell.
Well, but unlike other Sardinian women, she does not need to go to sea alone with other sisters and leave her husband alone to stay in the harem.
After all, the men of Sardinian fishermen usually stay on the shore to take care of their children instead of going out to sea with their wives, and she can't stand the loneliness.
"Buzz buzz!"
The engine started, and the fishing boat was pushed by the force of the water towards the depths of the sea. Feeling the warm sea breeze blowing across his face, Fisher felt that the fur on his body was in the way again, so he gently untied the ties to reveal his upper body, feeling
Feeling the breeze blowing through my body.
At this moment, the world is quiet and even the scenery becomes pleasant.
Asuka's soul had left Jasmine's body, but it would still take some time to recover, which made him quite worried.
But other than that, everything is fine, so I have the qualification to be comfortable.
Unexpectedly, behind her, Alagina looked at Fisher's exposed body and swallowed inconspicuously, but then glanced stubbornly at the other ships that seemed to be absent near the sea, for fear that there would be some slutty women there.
Peeping from a distance, sharing her stunning beauty that should be exclusive to her at this moment.
Still uneasy, she quietly walked to Fisher's side and picked up the fur shawl he put down. She originally wanted to put it on him, but looking at the muscle lines on his back, she was holding the fur shawl.
The action of draping turned to clenching, and then he stretched out his fingers from the fur shawl and lightly tapped Fisher's shoulder.
"ah?"
Fisher turned his head in confusion, but only saw Alagina's expression that was hesitant to speak.
""
She blushed slightly and pointed to the captain's cabin next to her.
The meaning is obvious: go, follow me into the house.
Fisher opened his mouth, looked back at the port that was still in sight, and smiled helplessly,
"We have just left the port. Aren't we going to go fishing?"
Alagina thought about it and wondered if she was in too much of a hurry. She hadn't even left the port yet, so she should at least wait until the voyage had been underway for a while.
But in the end, it was her sister who took control of her brain and drove her to say,
"Time is enough."
""
After saying this, he dragged the helpless Fisher to the captain's cabin. Not long after, the ship turned off and swayed slightly in the sea breeze.
This day is June 20th.
On June 21st, I did not leave the port.
It rained on June 22nd, so we had another day off.
On June 23, Alagina said that it was time to go out to the harbor to fish, and Fisher also believed that he could no longer indulge in such pleasure.
June 24, did not leave port.
In the early morning of June 26, the roar of the engine finally sounded again. At this moment, it seemed that they were the only ship in the waters near the harbor.
A refreshed Fisher leaned on the edge of the deck, looking at the seascape passing by around him. He couldn't help but ask Alagina in the captain's cabin,
"Why do you suddenly want to return to the land of Sardinia? I thought you were tired of staying at the seaside."
At this moment, Aragina did not tie her hair into a high ponytail, so her long white hair fell freely, giving it the shape of a sea breeze.
She reached out and pushed a strand of white hair behind her ear, looked at the sun that was about to rise on the sea level, and said softly,
"I don't know either. When I got off the boat with my sisters, I thought I was tired of it. But after staying in the Wutong Tree for a long time, I realized that it was them who were tired of it, not me."
Fisher glanced at her and asked calmly,
"Is it bad there?"
"Actually, there is nothing bad about it. Even my hometown behind me and my mother's vassal state have nothing bad about me. It's just that for some reason, there is always a kind of lingering feeling in my heart.
An overwhelming urge.”
Alagina shook her head, knowing that Fisher was worried about the conflict between her and Valentina, she looked at Fisher understandingly and explained,
"Fisher, there is a long tradition of raising ornamental birds in the north. All kinds of rare birds in the snowy forests were captured by the nobles and kept in cages, and they were pampered and treated to cultivate their beautiful feathers. And in the
Among them, there used to be a very unique bird called 'Stupid Feather'."
"Stupid feather?"
"Ah birds are as their name suggests. They are all blue and live by the sea. They attracted the attention of many nobles of the coastal feudal states. So some bird sellers caught them, put them in cages and sold them to the nobles.
But this kind of bird has a unique characteristic. They cannot be kept in a cage. Most stupid feathers will fly in the same direction when they reach adulthood, and keep flying until they die. That direction is
The direction of the sea."
Alagina looked at the sea level in the distance and said softly,
"The stupid feathers in the cage will not suppress this impulse. Even if they hit the cage with their heads, or even if they kill themselves, they will still flap their wings in the direction of the ocean. It is precisely because of this trait that they got their name.
Stupid feathers. No one knows why they fly towards the ocean. Even the artificially raised Stupid Feathers will fly towards the ocean without the guidance of their parents.
"Because of this nature, and the mediocre nature of this bird, its appearance is not as good as that of traditional ornamental birds. It is not good-looking enough and cannot learn to speak. It is a species that is a pity to be admired without color and discarded. Over time, there will be no more
People keep them. Every year when the tide rises and falls, fishermen on the seaside can see them leaving the shore in groups and flying towards the endless ocean. Everyone knows that there is waiting for them on the other side of the sea.
is death
"In the eyes of fishermen, they are not only ignorant, they are also called 'free birds' because their mediocre and not good-looking bodies contain the soul of every person who is imprisoned by the shackles of reality and longs for freedom.
"
Fisher opened his mouth and looked at Aragina, who was looking at the ocean and smiling unknowingly. The sunlight from the sky was shining little by little, making the sea surface appear sparkling.
He couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth a little. He turned his head to look in the direction of the sea, and suddenly found that in the glimmering morning light, schools of fish were jumping around, exuding their proud vitality.
"It's a fish!"
"There must be big fish down there chasing them away!"
The experienced Alagina looked at the abnormally dark swarm of small fish that appeared under the sea. In the sea water, the swarms of fish were like black storms floating in the blue sky. For a while,
It moves this way for a while and then rolls that way.
As a result, there was no other action. Under the school of fish, an abyssal maw about half the size of a boat suddenly opened its mouth wide and swallowed large swaths of small fish into its belly in one bite.
The vacuum created by the suddenly opened huge mouth formed a vortex under the sea surface, and the huge waves pushed their small fishing boat away.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise on the boat. Fisher, who was of a higher rank, gently grabbed the edge of the deck and stopped motionless. He pulled Aragina so that she didn't have to stagger around like a piece of fishing gear on the boat.
.
"Bang!"
There was a metallic roar from the ship's hull, and the waves gathered in the sky and fell again, turning into a pattering of salty rain and falling on Alagina's body, soaking the regular clothes she had just changed into.
Fisher held her waist, looked back at the strange big fish with most of its black body exposed on the sea, and provocatively raised its black tail and flew away, and asked in surprise,
"Is there such a big fish in the northern coast? Isn't it almost the size of a sea monster?"
"Ah, this is a kind of sea beast called 'Bamaha'. Normally, it has to be caught by armored ships. But this kind of sea beast is very cunning. It knows that the military's armored ships will not compete with fishermen for fishing time, so when the fishermen go to sea
They will show up when fishing for a living. After the fishing boats have made nests to attract fish or set down nets to capture them, they will benefit and snatch the fish away. Sometimes they encounter fishermen who are unwilling to cast their nets and leave.
They will also attack their fishing boats.”
Fisher nodded, looked at the huge sea beast that was one size larger than the fishing boat, and analyzed,
"Our fishing boat is already considered a relatively large fishing boat among self-employed people. Most fishermen's fishing boats are not big enough for it. I guess there is nothing you can do with it. Do you want to get rid of it?"
"Humph, it soon learned that it had messed with the wrong person."
Originally, Fisher wanted to go directly to the sea to catch it because of the high price, but Alagina behind him snorted coldly, and a faint fluorescence appeared in her eyes.
"Kakakaka!"
The next second, the entire fishing boat made a terrifying roar.
Fisher was startled for a moment, and when he looked back, the propeller engine at the back of the ship had several steel pipes covered with blue light growing out of it like Transformers. It looked like some kind of cardinal creation, and the deck also opened with a bang, and appeared from above.
Dozens of drones and a huge particle cannon emerged.
Fisher opened his mouth, looked back at the expressionless Alagina, and pointed at the cardinal's creation on the ship,
"Is this also used for fishing?"
Alagina smiled slightly, brewed for a second, and told a cold joke that she thought was humorous.
"This is the 'Alagina' way of fishing."
""
"Let's go."
Alagina hooked her hand, and the cardinal engine at the back of the ship suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling blue light. A huge pushing sensation swept over her. Fisher held on to the handrail and watched dozens of drones.
He flew out and tracked the location of the sea beast.
"buzz"
The sea beast on the sea, which had played with Aragina just now, was enjoying the water in the midsummer sunshine. After all, this is what it did at this time of year.
Facts have proved that it is not only cunning, but also enjoys the sound of fishermen scolding their mothers for being robbed of their catch, so it exposes its back on the sea and listens to the sounds behind it.
But this time what it heard was no longer an emotional scolding, but an engine roar like a death knell.
The sea beast in the water was stunned for a moment, and then looked back in surprise, only to see the fishing boat that had caught up with it like a ghost at some point, and the huge steel cannon barrel that was about to be stuffed into its head.
All these things remind it that times have changed.
"boom!!"
The particle cannon suddenly penetrated under the sea surface, and the huge power instantly lifted up the sea pillars like mountains. The pale sea water was mixed with the broken limbs of sea beasts, and countless innocent people were free below.
The small fish swimming freely were lifted into the air by the huge force.
"Clatter!"
As the entire fishing boat shook violently, Fisher watched helplessly as a heavy rain suddenly appeared on the boat that had only been lightly rained after being attacked by sea monsters, completely soaking him and Alagina's bodies.
"Pap tap tap tap"
Fisher wiped his face helplessly, and before he could say anything, he was hit on the head again by the dense sea of fish in the sky.
Alagina quickly stretched out her hand to protect him, but her foot slipped and she fell to the deck with Fisher.
"Boom!"
Fortunately, the boat was now full of fish jumping around. No, after a while, the boat was filled with the fishy smell of sea water and fish.
Lying on the deck, soaked to the skin, Fisher unknowingly turned into a dead fish-eye.
This method of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred can be regarded as learned by Alagina.
He turned his head helplessly and looked at Alagina, who was lying in the fish pile next to him. Alagina also looked at him with concern, but she saw his wet hair and helpless expression.
After a second or two of silence, she covered her mouth and laughed for the first time.
"Pfft"
Fisher was slightly startled. It seemed that it was the first time he saw Alagina in such a naughty manner. It was so different from her serious look in Xunri that he unconsciously ignored everything around him.
Alagina covered her mouth, but as if she couldn't help it, she leaned over and kissed Fisher.
"Pap-pap-pap-pap"
Among the fish on the deck, Aragina kissed him wantonly, letting the fragrance of sea salt fill his mouth.
It was as if the inconspicuous taste and color in this sun-hunting day were going to fill his entire world at this moment.
For a long time, Alagina curled her lips and smiled as she lay on the deck, soaking wet in the morning sunshine with Fisher.
"Ha ha"
Listening to her voice that seemed to be laughing and panting, Fisher couldn't help laughing and held her in his arms.
"Goooo, coooo, coooo!"
In his peripheral vision, Fisher suddenly saw a bird with blue feathers standing on the deck guardrail covered with water drops. It was looking at the bird lying on the ground with great curiosity.
Fisher and Aragina sunbathing on the deck.
"Goo!"
Fisher was stunned for a moment, and quickly patted Alagina who was leaning on him.
"Alagina, look"
"ah?"
Alagina raised her head, and when she saw the bird, her eyes lit up slightly.
"It's Benyu"
"Is this Benyu?"
Just like Alagina described, this bird is neither cute nor beautiful, and its blue feathers are not full of luster. It is just that under this situation and under the sunshine of midsummer, it is tilted.
The pair of black bean-like eyes with his wide-open head looked so bright.
Fisher subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, or let it stay on his hand.
After all, he is a man who has acquired animal affinity from there.
The bird obediently allowed Fisher to stroke its head. However, just when Fisher wanted to further make it stay on his hand as he wished, the bird suddenly unfolded.
The wings suddenly rose into the sky and flew away into the distance.
Alagina opened her mouth, and Fisher couldn't help but be startled when he looked at the bird that was getting smaller and smaller in his sight, and he quickly asked loudly,
"Benyu, where are you going?!"
"Thump thump thump"
What responded to him was the figure that kept flying towards the depths of the ocean.
Facing the morning light, every feather of it is written with freedom.
