Cursing secretly in his heart, Nalant approached the shore. He wanted to take a look at the 'sea monster' on the beach and make final confirmation.
"Sir, it's dangerous out there!" Quick and others were frightened by the dozens of huge 'sea monsters' in the sea. They were all nervous. When they saw Nalant walking towards the seaside, they immediately stepped forward to dissuade him.
.
"That's not a sea monster, but a kind of fish!" Nalant was speechless and took a few steps forward. He had already seen the 'sea monster' stranded on the beach. How could this be a sea monster?
It's obviously a whale.
The gray skin and huge body length of 17 to 18 meters made the serfs with little knowledge imagine it to be a terrifying sea monster.
"Fish? Such a big fish?" Quick and others looked at each other. They had never seen such a big fish before, and the mouth could probably swallow the carriage in one bite.
"That's called a sperm whale. It's a super-large mammal...fish. But they don't eat humans, they only eat small fish!"
"That's it! My lord, you are really a wise and knowledgeable noble!" Seeing the certainty of Nalant's words, Quick and others were finally hesitant to believe it.
Because they also saw the sperm whale on the beach. It did not have the terrifying tentacles and mouth full of fangs recorded in knight novels. Instead, except for its huge size, it was really no different from ordinary fish.
"Sir, then...can the sperm whale also be eaten?" Kenby Cowdung had already escaped from the fear, and the next moment he asked what he was most concerned about.
In the eyes of the serf, in addition to being full, it is still full. So with such a big fish, he immediately thought that if he could live in the belly of a whale, wouldn't he be able to eat fish while lying down.
"Okay!" Looking at the sperm whale chasing the flying fish around in the sea, Nalant showed a smile on his lips.
Although I don’t know why sperm whales like to eat flying fish, it means that the blue elf has shown its value.
Although whale meat is unpalatable, it is still meat. A sperm whale weighs dozens of tons and is enough to feed thousands of people for several months.
In addition, the whale oil in the sperm whale's body is a good material for making lamp oil. It is not only durable but also has no smell when burning.
"Is this a mistake?"
Although Nalant currently does not have the ability to let the serfs go to sea to hunt whales, this whale directly solves the current food problem and allows him to quickly complete the side tasks issued by the system.
As for the lure fishing plan, of course we have to continue. We can catch fish and export them as merchandise to other territories to make money.
"Kenbi Cowdung, go to the village now and ask all the serfs to come to the beach with baskets and other tools!"
"Yes, sir!" Kenbi Cowdung smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face. He had already guessed what the lord was planning to do.
"Quick!"
"Sir, my subordinate is here!"
"Follow me with the guards!" Nalant waved his hand and headed towards the beach.
Because of the huge size of the whale, not only the serfs such as Kenbi Cowdung were afraid of it, but even the fish-man and sea monster had hid far away, which was just the time for Nalant and the others to step onto the beach.
When Narant and the others came closer, the sperm whale was already lifeless. It was probably stranded on the beach last night. It had just twisted its body and exhausted the last bit of strength.
"It's so big!" Even the burly and muscular Quaker looked like a little chicken standing in front of the sperm whale.
"All guards, listen to the order and start cutting the fish now! Move quickly!"
"Yes, sir!"
Afterwards, Narant and others started a vigorous fish-cutting campaign.
The sperm whale was bleeding after being cut open, but both Quirk and the other guards, as well as the villagers who had just arrived from Doom Village, were all laughing from ear to ear.
Looking at the white pieces of whale meat, everyone seemed to smell the sweet fish soup.
"You all move faster. If the fish-men and sea monsters come around, the fish and meat will be gone!" Kenbi Cowdung urged the villagers as he worked hard to carry dozens of kilograms of meat.
At the same time, he kept chanting in his heart, "This is white fish meat!" After reciting this sentence, Kenbi Cowdung felt that his whole body was full of strength.
In this way, most of the whale weighing dozens of tons on the beach was dismembered in just one afternoon.
"Well, can't these fish-men and sea monsters stay still?"
Nalant looked at the murlocs and sea monsters that had cautiously approached less than a hundred meters away, and felt that it was almost time to stop cutting their flesh.
Although there is still a small half of the whale meat that has not been cut off, they have obtained almost ten tons of fish meat.
Withdrawing his sword, Narante came to the edge of the beach and began to wash away the blood on his hands.
"Huh? What is this!" But just as he was washing his hands, the waves pushed a hard object to Nalant's feet.
This is a white-gray object the size of three fists, a bit like a stone, but not a stone.
"Isn't this ambergris?" The next moment, a bold idea suddenly came to Nalant's mind, sperm whale plus slippery flying fish...
Narant has seen pictures of ambergris on the Internet before. More importantly, sperm whales, creatures that can produce ambergris, are hunting nearby today...
Nalant didn't mind it being dirty, so he immediately picked up the hard object that looked like ambergris. The weight was much lighter than expected.
"Quick!"
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"You cut open the stomach of this sperm whale and see if there is something like this in my hand." Narant raised the lump that was suspected to be ambergris.
"Yes, sir!" Without any hesitation, Quick immediately led several of his men to cut open the internal organs of the whale that was originally going to be discarded.
"Sir, there is indeed one, but it's a little smaller than yours!" A moment later, Quick ran over holding a piece of gray-white ambergris still stained with whale blood.
"Okay, haha!" Nalant was overjoyed, and now there was no doubt that this must be ambergris.
"Come on, those fishmen are starting to come closer!
Subsequently, Narant gave an order and began to evacuate the beach, discarding less than half of the whale carcass.
"The fish-man sea monster is so hateful! There is so much fish meat!" As Nalant began to evacuate, Kenbi Cowdung and others expressed their deep hatred for the fish-man sea monster.
Nalant did not feel any pity. Yesterday, the blue elf made its home on the coral reef, and the creature it attracted was a flying fish with a slippery mouth that can cause diarrhea in people and other animals.
The gathering of flying fish also attracts the gathering of whales.
Narant speculated that it was because whales had foreign objects as big as ambergris in their bodies that they hunted the flying fish and ate them, so that they could pull the ambergris out of their bodies.
If this speculation is true, it means that there will always be sperm whales outside Nalant's storm zone, and more importantly, there will probably be a steady stream of ambergris pushed ashore by the waves.
