The products sold in strange markets in the deep sea are very different from those on the ground. Treasures such as crystal coral, aquamarine, and crystal amber that are priceless on land are only used as decorations and lighting objects in their shops.
, the really popular products are rare sea beasts that live in the bottomless ocean, gray scale insects that can detect tsunamis and submarine volcanic eruptions, various native spices that are mainly used to mask the smell, etc.
The only commodity that is equally popular in the above-ground world as in the underwater world is medicine.
According to conservative estimates, the ocean area of the Mirror Star World is equivalent to five times the combined area of the East and West continents. In this vast five seas and four oceans, the power of nature has given birth to more strange creatures, and the aliens in the deep sea are not like those on the ground.
As ignorant and barbaric as people think, they have mastered the basic properties and living habits of these creatures during thousands of years of civilization, and began to try to give them unique physiological and pharmacological effects.
If there were a book that included the development history of all intelligent races in the mirror star world, then when you open the book, you would be surprised to find that the deep-sea aliens utilized and cultivated natural species far earlier than those who claim to be the origin of civilization.
People on earth. When they have regarded pharmacological knowledge as a professional subject and systematically summarized and summarized it, people on earth are still in an ignorant stage where they only know the effect but not the principle. Decoction can cure diseases.
Herbal medicines are regarded as "gifts from the gods", and the effective mechanism of drugs such as animal bones or insect powder is understood as "beasts expel enemies in their own bodies"; the dragon tribe calls the three-leaf dragon grass growing in its lair as dragon's breath grass
, believing that when dying, eating the dragon's breath grass that has been with him since childhood can return the original breath to the heart, thereby gaining another life; the giant will use salt and mud to stimulate the wounds of the injured, and at the same time use natural hallucinogens
Hypnotizing their senses, they thought that through this fierce and psychedelic battle, they could kill the demons growing in their bodies... This chaos continued until the first great witch of the Morya people wrote thirty on his parchment.
The characteristics and habits of six medicinal plants, people on earth finally have a rough knowledge of herbal medicine.
Unfortunately, due to the large differences between the two environments and the adaptability limitations of biological organisms, few people on earth have come to the deep sea to experience first-hand the differences between land civilization and marine civilization. A few people
The lucky ones will catch a glimpse of the glimmer of deep-sea civilization by chance, such as the navigator Magellan who mistakenly entered the "Hometown of the Dead" in the city of Yixu, but his description in "Seeing and Seeing the Country of the Dead" obviously paid more attention to those ancient
The mysterious rituals and eerie atmosphere, the residents of Yixu Village who built churches in the world of the living and explored the mysteries of the afterlife, as well as the rites for the dead, rituals of dead souls, boats of hell, and soul habitats passed down by them
Therefore, legends such as the end of nowhere and the immortal treasure have attracted countless explorers and adventurers to flock here. For a time, the Chaos Sea, a terrifying ocean that once made people jealous, became the new favorite of navigators.<
/p>
Now, another lucky person has come to the world under the sea, seen with her own eyes the prosperous scene of Nereids, the "city in the mirror", and was deeply fascinated by the appearance of it in front of her. She is lucky enough to experience two
There are huge differences between these two civilizations, and it is very likely that she will make some outstanding contributions to their future integration, although now she is just a little girl struggling with what to buy.
"Well, moonlight sand can cure blindness, brain diseases and anemia. Long-term use can provide night vision, but it cannot be taken more than one gram at a time, and it must be mixed with the juice of gallbladder; rock slough, rock crab slough
The fallen shells can treat a variety of leg diseases, but because rock crabs are difficult to catch and have a long molting cycle, they are relatively expensive. There is also this tooth powder of Thousand Mouth Faceless Fish, eh, it sounds disgusting.
, but the effect is unexpectedly powerful. Can it be mixed into any medicine as a neutralizing agent to improve its own effect..."
The little pink-haired girl hesitated in front of the counter of a store for a long time, but in the end she couldn't decide what to buy. On the one hand, she was not familiar with some medicines and was afraid of wasting them if she bought them; on the other hand, she wanted to buy them.
There are too many things, and if the total is added up, it is a big number.
"Why are you so entangled?" Xie Mi sat on her head, holding her chin with both hands, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't Galenie say that she can buy whatever she likes, and she will pay for it? In this case, why not just give it to her?
Buy all the goods in the store. She is a princess anyway, so she should not be short of money."
As soon as he said this, the boss, who looked like a fat-headed fish that walked upright, suddenly smiled brightly and nodded in agreement. He almost knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Mi to thank her for her great kindness. Medien smiled bitterly and replied: "It's because Sister Galene said so, so we can't spend money randomly."
"Why?" Xie Mi didn't quite understand. In her simple moral concept, if someone pays for her own, it must be a luxury. It's just saving money for herself. Why save money for others?
?
"Uh."
Metien wanted to explain to her what "guest consciousness" is, but considering that this concept is relatively complicated, it is probably difficult to understand it based on Shemi's IQ. In the end, he chose to fool her with an awkward smile, then turned around and pointed
Pointing across the counter: "Please give me this, this, and this..."
Although the boss felt sorry for not buying them all, he did not neglect these distinguished visitors. Instead, he packed up all the goods that Metien ordered at a speed that was extremely inappropriate for his fat figure.
He handed it to Metien respectfully. As for the money, he did not take it. Anyway, after these guests left, the royal court would send someone to make up for it soon.
So Medien returned home with a full load, and left the store with difficulty holding large and small bags of deep-sea specialties. When he went out, he saw Oveira chatting with Galenie, and she didn't follow him because she didn't like the smell of medicine.
Leticia was playing with poking bugs nearby. She just wanted to go over and say hello, but found that Sister Olvera suddenly stopped talking and looked up at the sky above the city. At the same time, the pink-haired girl's heart
She also had an inexplicable premonition, prompting her to raise her head blankly, looking through the long and intertwined white steps in the sky, and saw a huge sea beast that looked like a giant shark but had eight soft tentacles slowly rising above her head.
Swim through it and look at the direction it is heading, it should be heading towards the Ice Water Palace.
There seemed to be several tiny figures standing on the back of the sea beast. When Metien saw a familiar silhouette among them, he blurted out without even thinking: "Linge is back!?"
……
"Linger is back."
The princess of Beimang raised her hand and yawned, and said in a vague tone that she had not yet woken up from sleep: "Then go back first, I don't want to continue shopping."
Hearing this, Jialenie asked curiously: "Linge...is the companion you are waiting for?"
"Yes." Oveira casually lowered her head as an answer.
"Then how do you know he's back? It's so far away, is Miss Ovela sure you can see it clearly?"
"No."
Olvera's reply was crisp and clear, without any hesitation. Then she turned her head and said to Galene, who was still in a daze: "But I feel it."
"Feeling?"
"Well, it feels." Olvera nodded and said seriously: "Feelings can't lie."
