Xiao Zhi looked at Lance, who had never been so sweet before his death, and began to think about how to save him.

It is probably impossible to confront a giant octopus. To deal with such a thick-skinned and bulky creature, it would probably require a public mission for the entire continent, and gathering elites from all races would be possible.

And, it may not be successful yet.

Xiao Zhi looked at the happy pink octopus that seemed to be humming a song, and couldn't help but change his mind. What will happen if you don't fight it? Although this octopus is very powerful, it does not seem to be a bloodthirsty type. It even has some unique hobbies. Can we start with its hobbies?

Xiao Zhi took another look at the cute Lance, who was like a doll under the hands of the big octopus.

Can you make a new doll for the big octopus?

With Xiao Zhi, a humanoid master, the final product will definitely be more delicate than what a giant octopus can make with its thick tentacles. This is the style... I guess I can't follow what Xiao Zhi originally liked. I have to follow the big octopus's preferences and go the pink girl route, giving it a more delicate, gorgeous and girly look.

He did what he thought of, Xiao Zhi took one last look at the helpless Lance and the cheerful big octopus, turned around and left here.

·

Making a doll requires materials, but this is the deep sea, and there is no such thing as a trading house. Even if other players want to do errands and purchase them, no one can deliver them. How should I solve the problem?

As for fabric, the big octopus has already provided an idea. You can just use seaweed. Anyway, there is a lot of seaweed here, with various colors and textures, so it is not a problem.

For decoration, you might be able to use other seaweed, or shells, or pearls. You can even search these houses, and there may be jewelry left by the original residents.

Tools can only be left to chance, it depends on luck, whatever you find will be what you find.

Xiao Zhi took Alifa to search in the huge deserted city.

After a while, he discovered that there was something unusual about this city. Although there are many marine creatures nearby, they are all small in size and docile in nature, and none of the large, fierce and aggressive ones can be seen. It's like someone is screening the creatures that are eligible to enter the city.

A group of brightly colored small fish swam next to Xiao Zhi and Alifa. They had probably never seen such strange creatures before, and the city was safe. The small fish swam around them several times out of curiosity.

One of the particularly small fish had the courage to step forward and secretly nuzzled Alifa's hard head.

"Gu~" Alifa turned his head and faced Xiaoyu with his empty eyes.

"Bo~" The little fish was not afraid and spit a bubble at it.

Xiao Zhi continued to move forward, letting the fish behind him follow curiously.

The buildings in this city are distributed in a ring, one floor above another, with a very clear structure. The living locations of residents seem to be divided according to status.

The houses on the edge look relatively simple, and the stone pillars are carved with single lines. The craftsmanship is rough, and some of the lines are crooked. This is probably the result of the owner's own work.

But a little further forward, the sophistication of the house is different. Not only are the stone pillars at the door made by specialized craftsmen, the style of the roof has also changed, and there are a lot more indoor furniture. Even the stone used for construction can be seen to have fewer impurities and is whiter and more delicate.

Fortunately, the furniture here is made of stone and can still be preserved after passing through the years.

Along the way, Xiao Zhi picked out materials and found a lot of jewelry. He couldn't help but wonder, what happened back then that prevented the residents here from even taking away these valuable jewelry?

At the same time, he also discovered another strange thing. There was no water bottle here. Whether it is a water cup, a kettle, a bucket or a water tank used in daily life, there is not even a bathtub or sink.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but think: "Did the original residents here not use water?"

No, that doesn't seem right.

Looking at the common wave patterns on the surrounding buildings and jewelry, it seems that the residents here are often in contact with water and like it.

So why don't a group of people who love water not use water?

Xiao Zhi looked down at the hem of his clothes floating in the water, and suddenly had an idea. Maybe it's not that they don't use water, but that they already live in water! After being soaked in water all day long, there is no need to use anything else to fill it with water.

He then looked at the "skylights" on the roof of almost every house. Maybe these were not windows, but doors that made it easier for the owner to swim directly into the house from a high place. After all, if you are swimming in the sea, you can adjust the height by yourself and don't have to be close to the ground. Therefore, the door does not have to be opened near the ground. It is obviously more convenient to enter and exit from above.

This city is probably not a sunken land city, but was originally built in the ocean.

This is a city that belongs to the sea people!

Where did the original sea tribe go? Why is such a huge city sleeping anonymously in the deep sea? Xiao Zhi looked through his memories and found that no well-known city was built in the sea, either before or now.

There was no answer for the time being, so Xiao Zhi took Alifa towards the central area of ​​the city. The closer to the center, the more status the people living there had, and the more things they had at home, which was just right for him to find materials for making dolls.

Xiao Zhi found some dyes that had expired for who knows how many years.

These dyes were probably a specialty here, and were not soluble in water at all. After groping for a while, he finally mastered the use of these dyes, and decided that he could use these to paint makeup on the doll, so that the pale face would not look scary.

Probably when we arrived at the center of the city, a very large square appeared in front of us.

Every stone slab on the ground of the square has exquisite reliefs, each telling a story. The surrounding stone pillars are also the thickest in the entire city and have the most complicated craftsmanship. It seems like this is a very important place for the entire city. The residents will probably hold some important activities here.

Xiao Zhi looked at the stone carvings on the ground. Some stories were about heroes defeating sea monsters, some about armies defeating invaders, and some about what they were. Allusions, but Xiao Zhi has not seen these allusions and cannot understand their contents.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhi saw a familiar figure appearing on one of the stone slabs. It was a man wearing flowing robes, and a man with a fish tail and a trident in his hand. Their hands were folded, holding a round object, surrounded by other sea tribes with excited faces.

The clothes on the person on the left are somewhat similar to the traditional dresses that Xiao Zhi has seen on the Xiyue Clan, but they are not as complicated in tailoring and decoration as the Xiyue Clan.

The one on the right also looks familiar. Isn't that the Yuan clan who chased him all the way? ! But this Yuan clan's appearance was very normal, even quite handsome, and not as ferocious and terrifying as the ones Xiao Zhi had seen.

Alifa saw a figure that seemed to be from the Yuan clan, and angrily stretched out his paws to point at the stone slab: "Gu!"

Bad guy! Fierce!

Xiao Zhi touched his chin and thought: "Could they be the ancestors of the Xiyue Clan and the Yuan Clan? Are they... forming an alliance?"

The look of two people taking a photo together holding something really looks like two companies. A picture of a cooperation being reached, or a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening.

After walking a little further, Xiao Zhi saw a high platform in the center of the square. There was a large and exquisite stone tablet on it. The words on the stone tablet were unfamiliar but a little familiar. He tried to spell them out in common language, which was probably " I don't know if the pronunciation of "Kanaxi" is correct or not.

Is this the name of this city? Or is this just a slogan?

After a while.

Because of Xiao Zhi's actions in the city, his area exploration rate increased to 13%.

Xiao Zhi scanned the surrounding houses again and found a lot of materials. He even made up a set of cutting and polishing tools. He found a nearby room with the largest desk and the best preservation as a temporary studio, and also moved a luminous shell as lighting.

Seeing that Xiao Zhi seemed to be engaging in strange activities, there were more small fish gathering around. The timid ones watched from outside the house, while the bold ones swam directly to Xiao Zhi and observed curiously.

For a moment, Xiao Zhi felt as if he had become a princess in an animated movie, the one who sang with the animals while working.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

What kind of strange association is this? Forget it, that's it.

This is how Xiao Zhi started making dolls.

Since it was for the big octopus, it would be better if the quality was firmer. He directly chose white stone for construction. The stone was quite heavy, but it definitely didn't matter to the big octopus.

The texture of these stones is very hard and requires special tools to polish them. The tools were found in an unfinished house.

Polishing stone by hand is very time-consuming. Perhaps because Xiao Zhi thought it was hard to polish it alone, Alifa jumped up on the table, jumped up and down, and extended his paws to point at the unprocessed material. I want to help.

Xiao Zhi gave it a demonstration without expecting Alifa to learn it.

Probably because he finally found out that the clerk had a job that he could help with, Arifa studied very seriously, and after a while, he had already done the basic polishing work well.

"Gu Gu Gu~" Arifa waved her little wings happily while holding the stone and polishing it.

While Xiao Zhi was processing the materials, he didn't forget to praise it. Alifa suddenly became even happier.

Xiao Zhi did not polish the stone too finely. After all, with the size of the big octopus, the tall Lance looks small and cute. He probably won't notice more details. It can save money by dealing with less details. time. Just process the exposed part of the clothes properly.

Xiao Zhi also took out Hotis from his backpack, preparing to do the doll's hair later. Hotis is soft, corrosion-resistant, and magic-resistant, making it a good equipment material.

But the reason why Xiao Zhi chose it is very simple, because it is pink and the big octopus will definitely like it. Everything is based on the needs of customers.

·

Making dolls takes time. Xiao Zhi was thinking about this city while working on it.

Suddenly, he thought that there was a summons card from Teague in his backpack. Teague was from the Xiyue tribe and might know something related to this city.

He glanced at his backpack. The communication card looked like a small piece of light blue paper. He didn't know if there was a signal in this deep sea?

Xiao Zhi decided to give it a try.

Xiao Zhi took out the summons card and said to Arifa: "Arifa, I want to contact a friend, can you keep it secret for me and not tell others."

Arifa nodded ignorantly while polishing the stone: "Gu~"

Alifa was very good, and Alifa didn't say anything.

Xiao Zhi touched Alifa and then activated the summons card. A burst of light blue light suddenly appeared on the card. The blue light was strong and weak, which attracted the surrounding fish to get closer curiously.

However, this flicker showed that the transmission was not successful. It was probably Xiao Zhi who was here. We are in a very deep place in the abyss. Even in the magical world, the signal is not that strong.

Xiao Zhi tried a few more times, and finally, this time, the communication card lit up and stopped blinking.

Soon, Teague's voice came from the card: "Mr. Seven?"

Xiao Zhi heard that the background sound on his side was very noisy, accompanied by music, men and women talking and laughing, and the sound of footsteps coming and going. It was at the banquet.

Who is this guy planning to deceive? Or are you doing some special work?

Before Xiao Zhi could speak, a female voice with a smile came: "Tig~ Come and play together tonight?"

Teague replied in a gentle tone: "Your beauty is intoxicating, I can't be like this I went to your appointment casually. I didn't prepare a gift for you today. It's really rude to go to the appointment like this."

The woman was not angry, but her smile became stronger: "Tig's words of rejection are still so touching and touching. I can't be angry at all, so I'll see you another day~"

Teague also smiled a little: "It's an honor for me to win Miss Fennell's favor, and I look forward to meeting you next time."

Overheard by accident. Xiao Zhi said during the entire conversation: "..."

So skillful...

Did this guy really not go into the sea by himself?

However, it doesn't matter to Xiao Zhi what Teague wants to do.

After a brief greeting with Teague, he went directly to the topic of the call: "Teag, have you ever heard of a city called 'Kanasie'? Maybe it's not actually called that name, but it should be It was a city that once belonged to the Sea Clan."

After that, he also described to Teague the appearance of the city he saw.

Teague's tone was a little hesitant: "Kanaxi...it doesn't seem to be there...wait! Are you talking about Knuss?! Mr. Seven, can you describe to me the appearance of the words you saw?"

Xiao Zhi described it to him based on his memory.

Teague's tone became excited: "This is...!! Please wait a moment, I will talk to you in a quiet place."

Xiao Zhi heard the rapid footsteps from Teague's end, and the noise around him It gradually faded away, and then after a sound of opening the door, Teague's place became completely quiet, as if it had left the originally lively scene.

Teague's tone became slightly calmer: "Mr. Seven, I think the city you saw is Kenas City. This is a legendary sea people holy city, which was once the place where all sea people gathered. No. To think that this kind of place that has long been a legend has actually appeared again. "

"The city of Kenas is protected by the blessings of the high priests. If a large sea monster comes, it will be attacked by the city's defensive array. , so the city is very safe."

Xiao Zhi: "Is this why I won't be attacked by sea monsters in the city?"

Teague said, "Yes, but I didn't expect that this blessing would still be effective after so long. "

Xiao Zhi: "What happened to Kenas? Why didn't you stay there anymore?"

Teague: "About a thousand years ago, a great underwater disaster occurred, which changed the structure of the entire world. It became closer to what it is now. Kenas City also suffered heavy damage in that disaster. According to ancient records, it "fell into the endless abyss." The Sea Tribe residents at that time escaped in a hurry and had no time to take anything with them. "

"Later, when they wanted to return, they found that they could not find Kenas. The seabed environment during that time was very harsh, making it difficult for most sea people to survive, so someone suggested leaving the ocean and going to that time. A relatively stable life on land."

"But not everyone thinks so. Some of the sea tribe feel that they should continue to search for Kenas on the seabed, and the two sides have differences."

Xiao Zhi: "It is Xiyue who advocates leaving. Tribe, what is left behind...is it the Yuan Tribe?"

Teague said, "Yes, in the end, the Xiyue Tribe and some other Sea Tribes chose to go ashore. After a thousand years, the Sea Tribes who came ashore gradually merged and became The current Xiyue Clan. "

The Yuan Clan continues to wander on the bottom of the sea and gradually becomes what it is now." Teague said with emotion, "In fact, the Yuan Clan before was different from now. They were brave, determined, and true. The strongest warriors of the Sea Clan are not the madmen they are today. I don't know what happened to them during this period of time to become like this."

Xiao Zhi asked, "Don't the Xiyue Clan know that either?"

Teague sighed: " I don't know... The Xiyue Clan once wanted to send people to investigate the situation, but they were attacked wildly by the Yuan Clan. They seemed to have lost their minds and attacked everyone they saw, even those from the Sea Clan. The same goes for the Xiyue Clan."

Xiao Zhi said with a hint of suspicion, "Are you sure it wasn't the Xiyue Clan who left the ocean and tricked the Yuan Clan?"

Teague: "..."

Although there is no such record in the ancient books, Why does this statement sound so reliable? He himself couldn't help but doubt his ancestors! !

Teague pondered for a long time before speaking: "I think that may not be the case. The environment in Kenas is relatively closed and the structure of the residents is simple. The Sea Tribe at that time was actually quite simple. It is said that the Xiyue Tribe who just came ashore were beautiful and special. Of origin, they were captured and trafficked on a large scale on the mainland, and the population was reduced by half within ten years of landing. "

After that, the remaining Xiyue tribe gradually took root on the land and groped their way . He found a way to survive that suited him, and later established the Doli Alliance, and then he officially became a member of the Dazemenya Continent."

Xiao Zhi was silent, not expecting that the treacherous Xiyue Clan had such a story.

They landed on land with hopes for the future, but what greeted them was treatment like items. What a terrible experience it must have been to lose half of the population in ten years to polish the originally simple nation into what it is now.

Teague didn't care much about this past: "Anyway, no one on the mainland now dares to sell the Xiyue clan anymore. As long as someone dares to do so, the sellers and buyers will be surrounded and suppressed by the entire Doli Alliance regardless of the cost, and they will not die. " Never stop."

"That's good," Xiao Zhi said sincerely.

Teague said with a smile: "I think so too."

Teague brought the topic back: "Can you tell me how you got to Kenas? I think many Xiyue tribe will miss it there."

Xiao Zhi was brief He described the twists and turns of his arrival, of course hiding the content related to Lance and Arifa, and then concluded: "Now, I still don't know how to leave through normal means."

Teague: "..."

He I feel that if I use this method, I probably won't be able to survive to Dakenas. The difference may just be whether he becomes a snack for a certain sea monster or is poked into a sieve by his compatriots from the Yuan tribe.

He said sincerely: "Mr. Seven, are you really a human being?"

Xiao Zhi said shamelessly: "Maybe this is a gift." Teague

said: "Are you planning to explore Kenas City now?"

Zhi said: "Yes."

Teague asked: "Have you found the Earth Spirit Crystal?"

Xiao Zhi was stunned: "Earth Spirit Crystal?"

Teague's tone was a little surprised: "You started exploring the map without knowing the Earth Spirit Crystal. "

Xiao Zhi: "Isn't this an accident..."

Teague began to explain to Xiao Zhi: "When you explore an area to a certain extent, the Earth Spirit Crystal will appear near the explorer, and then you touch it. The crystal can name this area. But the conditions for the appearance of the Earth Spirit Crystal are different. Some people say it is to explore a wide enough area, some say it is to help the local aboriginal people, and some people repair important buildings. "

Xiao Zhi understood that Teague was probably talking about exploration speed.

NPCs on the mainland cannot see the exploration degree, so they only feel that it is triggered by unexpected events, but players are different. They can clearly know their exploration degree. However, Teague's words made Xiao Zhi understand several other ways to increase exploration, which he can try later.

Xiao Zhi thanked Teague: "Thank you."

Of course Teague didn't say this casually. Soon, his purpose came: "That's it, Mr. Seven..."

Xiao Zhi knew when he heard this tone. , this guy must be hiding a trick, he was waiting for it.

Teague considered his words: "Since you plan to explore a new area, and this area is underwater, can you slow down the exploration a little?"

Xiao Zhi: "What do you want to do?"

Teague's tone With longing: "You think, when a new area is explored, many people on the mainland will want to go there and see it, and Knus is in the sea. This means that all underwater medicines will be ushered in A peak in sales! "

"And over the years, the number of potions circulating on the market has been very stable. I plan to start stocking up on potions like water repellent potions, magic speed potions, luck potions, invisibility scrolls, etc. You can also stock up on potions and wait until the new area is fully opened and the potions on the market are in short supply before selling them. "

Of course, by that time, it is normal for the price to increase due to market fluctuations. The price I set will never violate the regulations of the Dolly Alliance."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

I didn't expect that you, a liar, could work part-time as a profiteer. Not only did you understand the theory of price determination by supply and demand, but you also understood the bottom line of the law. Everything is clear.

As expected of the Xiyue Clan.

Teague added: "I will give you a 30% commission on all profits, and I will check my account books for you, and I will never falsify them. Can you promise to only tell me this news?"

Teague's commission will be given to you. It was very refreshing. After all, information is wealth. Xiao Zhi, who has the exclusive information, is the one who takes the initiative in this transaction. Otherwise, it would be the same if he directly seeks cooperation with other Athanasi people. He does not necessarily have to join forces with Teague. .

Xiao Zhi said without hesitation: "Deal."

Who doesn't want the joy of making money while lying down?

He thought about the progress of his puppet making and the current level of exploration: "At least three days will be no problem."

Teague's smiling voice came: "It's a pleasure to work together."

The two people worked together in confusion and began to prepare. Combined harvest of leeks across the continent.

The author has something to say: Xiao Zhi: I am so happy just lying down and making money!

Asen: If Xiaoqi wants to make money while lying down, she can come to my bed.

Xiao Zhi: Does your home have such a thing as a bed?

Asen:......
