Two hundred and ninety fifth seaside different from imagination
"Are these things precious?"
Fang Qiubai saw that Ilia was completely fascinated by the agate plant and had no common sense in this area. He looked at the shopkeeper who was always smiling.
The shop owner, who had long hair as blue as the sea, glanced at Fang Qiubai curiously, and then pointed to the interpreters of special seafood.
"These are the specialties of the Endless Sea and cannot be found anywhere else in the continent. They can only be purchased here in the entire continent."
Fang Qiubai didn't take it seriously. It was just some ordinary seafood. You can always find it in the sea. But when he thought of this, he suddenly discovered a problem.
"By the way, I haven't seen the sea since I've been here for so long. It looks like I've finally reached the beach now."
"The Endless Sea has many terrifying sea beasts. Creatures on land cannot exert their strength in the sea, so the sea has been a restricted area for many years."
Withdrawing her attention from the coral, Ilia explained for Fang Qiubai who still didn't understand.
"You're right, most people on the road have never seen these things in their lives."
The blue-haired shop owner added from the side.
"This is also the first time I have seen this. There are no records of these things in Yinshan City's books."
Seeing the shopkeeper's approval eyes, Illya explained sheepishly.
"These have no other use, they are just faded souvenirs. If you two like them, just choose one!"
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper reminded me specifically.
"But because these are hard to come by, each customer can only buy one."
Hearing what the store owner said, Fang Qiubai, who originally wanted Illya to like it and buy them all, was speechless.
"Well, I can understand buying one piece at a time, but what if someone comes in and buys one piece every time and comes in repeatedly?"
"Of course not. We will remember every guest who comes. Please choose. These little things are not expensive."
After answering Fang Qiubai's question with a smile, the shopkeeper gently pushed the plate with seafood in front of Ilia.
In Fang Qiubai's opinion, the only thing on the plate was the coral that was worth collecting. As for the other sea cucumbers, they were just dry goods. Buying them and soaking them in the water and eating them wouldn't be enough to stuff your teeth.
But this was the first time for Illya to see these things. She felt that each one was very special, and she didn't know what to choose for a while.
"Just choose this coral. The other things are just some food. You can catch them at any time."
Fang Qiubai looked on and found it interesting, but seeing Illya's undecided expression, he still reminded her.
"This gentleman seems to know a lot about things in the sea?"
It turns out that Fang Qiubai is not only not interested in the things in his store, but also sounds very familiar with these things from his tone. This is the first time among the customers who have come to this store.
"I just have some understanding."
Fang Qiubai smiled and nodded. Although he didn't eat these things often before traveling through time, he was still quite familiar with them.
"It's so hard to choose. Although the one called Coral is very beautiful, these ones are also good."
Although Fang Qiubai gave his opinion, Illya still found it difficult to make a decision, frowning and thinking hard.
"Hey, let's do this Xiaoya, let's buy this coral, and we can catch other sea cucumbers, abalones and other things in the sea ourselves."
After waiting for a long time, Illya couldn't make up her mind, and Fang Qiubai finally couldn't help but said.
"Most guests will think about it for a long time, so sir, don't worry. Also, the Endless Sea is quite dangerous. Don't take risks just for these things."
Hearing what Fang Qiubai said, the store owner took back his smile and reminded him with a serious face.
"Is it dangerous? Even if there are monsters in the sea, they probably live in the deep sea, right? How else did you collect these things?"
Fang Qiubai asked strangely, if it is dangerous, the plate in front of him is not much, but it was also taken from the sea. Could it be that this woman is still a hidden master?
"Haha, of course this is because we have lived by the sea for generations, so we are quite familiar with the habits of monsters in the sea, so we can collect some seafood when they are not around."
"How far is this place from the endless sea?"
From what the shopkeeper said, he seemed like a fisherman who lives by the sea, so Fang Qiubai stopped asking more questions and changed the topic.
"It's not far. If you head northwest from here, you can reach it in about two days. There is no danger at the beach, but you won't be able to find these seafood."
The shop owner seemed quite worried that Fang Qiubai would actually go to the sea to salvage these things, and when he answered, he did not forget to remind him to pay attention to his safety.
In the end, Illya chose that coral and bought it at a very low price.
"How can it be so cheap? If this thing is so rare, why not buy it more expensively?"
Fang Qiubai didn't understand what the other party was thinking. Logically speaking, if the price of such a rare thing increased tenfold or a hundredfold, someone would definitely buy it.
"The purpose of this store is just to let more people see these items that they usually don't know about, so naturally they can't be sold too expensively."
While putting the other items back under the counter, the shopkeeper replied with a smile.
"Do you need to record our information? What if someone pretends to be buying from you for the first time?"
Facing Fang Qiubai's last question, the shop owner suddenly winked playfully.
"Our clan has a photographic memory, which is called absolute memory. No one can fool us."
"Absolute memory?"
Fang Qiubai was a little surprised in his heart. This kind of domineering ability would usually be the protagonist in movies, but the woman in front of him actually opened a small seafood shop here.
"Absolute memory?"
After hearing this ability, Illya lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked in surprise.
"Are you... a Tidal Naga?"
"Well, I am Olidel from Tide Naga. If you two go to the Endless Sea, you can see my people on the coast."
Audrey introduced herself generously.
"Isn't this a city for ordinary people? Also, does this human city allow aliens to exist?"
However, Illya thought of many things from Audrey opening a store here.
"Well, because I am also very ordinary and have not learned martial arts or magic. And we Tide Naga have always been members of the Kingsley Empire."
Unexpectedly, apart from our own side, which is trying to figure out how to make aliens and humans coexist harmoniously, there is actually a country that has been silently implementing it.
The two of them were very happy and chatted with Audrey for a while before saying goodbye and leaving. They didn't want to go shopping for the time being and decided to go back and see how Shana was doing.
As expected, when the two returned to the bakery, Shana still maintained the same posture and stood guard inside.
When they stepped into the store door, there happened to be a batch of hot bread coming out of the oven. Shana instantly put the steaming bread into her yukasa. The clerks were not surprised when they took away the bread.
When you put the plate and new bread into the oven, you will know that this has been repeated countless times.
"Xia Na, how much bread did you buy?"
Walking to Shana's side, Fang Qiubai looked at the busy people in the bakery and asked curiously.
"Less than 0..."
Looking at Shana's expression, she was still not satisfied with this speed, and her tone was full of disappointment.
"0..."
Ilia, who was walking behind Fang Qiubai, exclaimed, "I can eat 10 of them for a day, but Shana is still not satisfied."
"Haha, Shana, the bakeries here won't disappear. 0 is enough, right?"
Fang Qiubai gently pressed his hand on Xia Na's shoulder and told her his plan.
"I heard that there is the Endless Sea not far to the northwest. Although I don't know what kind of monsters there are, we can collect some seafood."
"Really? What's so good about seafood?"
Shana said that what she eats the most is seafood...
"There are also corals and stuff. You can take them back as decorations. Anyway, I went out to play. Let's buy melon buns when I come back!"
Discovering the appeal of seafood products such as the melon buns in front of him, Fang Qiubai could only coax Xia Na like a child.
It wasn't until Fang Qiubai finally said that Ilia had never seen anything in the sea, and she must have never seen the sea, that Shana agreed.
"You didn't tell me earlier...Xiaoya, when will we set off?"
Glancing at Fang Qiubai dissatisfied, Shana walked up to Ilia and asked.
Fang Qiubai looked at Ilia who smiled naughtily at him and just wanted to ask the sky with tears, why Shana always bullied him like this.
After such a fuss, when several people left, Shana actually bought a whole 0 melon buns.
Fang Qiubai couldn't understand it at all. If he ate like this every day, he might never want to eat it again in his life.
————————————————————————
"Xiaoya, haven't you seen the sea?"
On the way to the endless sea ahead, Shana pulled Ilia curiously and asked.
"Well, I haven't seen it, I just heard them describe it. Have you seen it, Shana?"
Illya nodded, looking forward with eyes full of yearning.
"The place where she is, except for the bigger ground, is surrounded by the sea..."
Fang Qiubai couldn't help but interject and complained.
"Really? That must be great. There is an endless sea and there are all kinds of creatures in the sea."
Illya's impression of the sea only came from books and other people's descriptions of the vastness of the sea.
In this world, the sea is still unconquerable by humans, so they are unfamiliar with everything in the sea.
"Well, actually I prefer the beach to the sea. No matter what I do on that soft sand, I feel comfortable. Shana, don't you think so?"
Fang Qiubai said that he is a landlubber. Compared with going into the water, he is happier looking at bikinis on the beach.
I don’t know if there are any beautiful scenery on the beach in this world.
"Huh," Shana just snorted but didn't answer.
Fang Qiubai knew that Xia Na actually didn't hate swimming. He asked Xia Na because he knew that Xia Na was concerned about her figure, and it was just a joke. As expected, there was nothing gained except for Xia Na to give him a look.
"Beach? Is it the same as desert sand?"
Illya looked at Fang Qiubai in confusion, not understanding what was so good about this.
"Well, it's the same as the tiniest kind of fine sand in the desert. It's a thick layer. You can run and roll on it or even bury yourself in the sun. You don't have to worry about lack of water like in the desert, or
It’s too much sun, because there is the sea next to it, and you can jump in at any time to enjoy the cold feeling.”
Fang Qiubai nodded and tried to answer in a simple and understandable manner, but in his mind he was thinking, what do people wear for swimming on this continent?
"Really? Then I want to give it a try soon."
Her interest was aroused by Fang Qiubai's description, and Ilia made her decision happily.
Fang Qiubai naturally wouldn't object. After all, Audrey also said that the beach is safe. In that case, just enjoy it.
But when the three of them arrived at the shore of the Endless Sea, they all stood there blankly looking at the scene in front of them.
"This is the beach?"
Illya asked blankly pointing forward.
"Should...maybe...certainly not!"
Fang Qiubai didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Not far away in front of him was indeed the boundless sea, but there was no beach at all on the seashore. Instead, there were only jagged boulders that filled his sight.
"It seems like this is a cliff. I'm afraid the beach is somewhere around it."
Shana was the most experienced. She flew into the air and took a look around. Although she saw no trace of the beach, she still made a judgment.
