The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: The Four Horror Legends of Bilgewater

It seems that after hearing the horror story, Nami panicked. Nami was a little embarrassed and wanted to hold her together. Syndra also readily let Nami into her arms, so now it is Lothar hugging Syndra. , Syndra holding Nami’s case.

Lothar is quite happy about this. He doesn’t want to see Syndra remain hostile to everyone else. Although she may not regard Nami as a vastaya as a human being at all, at least she is close to Nami. Maybe a good start.

Syndra pinched the fins on Nami’s chest, made a “whirling” sound, and urged Lothar: “Next, next.”

“The third horror legend, Nami should know.” Lothar also began to pinch the fins on Nami’s waist.The fish fins are very elastic to the touch, and it is easy to pinch and addictive.

Nami, who was being manipulated, was twisting in Syndra’s arms. Suddenly, when Lothar said this, she said in surprise, “I know, but I haven’t seen anything terrible?”

Lothar took out three coins from the bag and put them on the table, which happened to be a copper herring, a silver snake coin and a golden siren: “Look at the pattern on it.”

Syndra and Nami heard the words and saw that the copper herring was engraved on the face of an ordinary herring, and there was nothing special about it.

“Copper herring is the least valuable currency in Bilgewater, but it is also the most in circulation.” Lothar stood up the copper herring. “It is said that herring is used as the currency face because herring is the most fish caught by fishing boats every day. Basically, every Bilgewater civilian can eat three or four herrings a day. Copper herring means the money used by civilians, because they use herring as their staple food for three meals a day.”

Nami was very smart, and she understood it all at once: “It’s amazing, it turns out that coins have this meaning.”

“What about the silver snake coin?” Syndra pointed to the silver coin on the table. A sinuous sea snake was engraved on the silver coin.

“The image on the silver snake coin is a sea snake.” Lothar explained, “The sea snake can grow to be longer than a whale. A sea snake can destroy a small ship. Only medium-sized ships and above can ignore it.”

“What does this represent?” Nami asked.

“It means that only those who own medium-sized ships have the possibility of earning Silver Snake Coins.”

“So that’s it. What about the Golden Siren?” Nami was fascinated and asked impatiently.

Syndra looked at the appearance of the Golden Siren, and there was a big octopus carved on it.

“That’s [Hu Mu], also known as [Snake Mother] or [Bearded Lady].”

“[Ms. Bearded]”

“Maybe it’s because its tentacles look like beards.” Lothar was not very sure, “Many people in Bilgewater believe in this god, thinking that it is the biggest sea monster in the sea and the king of all sea beasts.” .”

“How big can the biggest sea monster be?” Nami asked.

“I don’t know. Some people say that one of its tentacles can fill an entire trench.”

“Wow, that’s really big enough.” Nami exclaimed, “There is a big trench near my hometown. It’s so big that no mermaid can swim the entire distance. It takes several years to succeed.”

“So many sailors think that the safety at sea depends on [Hu Mu], and they will ask their captains to throw a coin with the image of [Hu Mu] into the water before sailing, as a tax for the sea, bless the whole world The ship was able to return to the voyage smoothly. And such a luxury as throwing a golden siren can only be done by a wealthy captain.”

“It’s so romantic.” Nami had a little longing, “Human culture is so interesting, it’s completely different from our merman’s. By the way, if the merman’s territory is near Bilgewater, wouldn’t they be able to pick it up at the bottom of the sea?” It’s a lot of money.”

Lothar touched Nami’s head and stopped her lovely imagination: “But there are always people who are unwilling to pay tribute to [Mother Hu]. A gold siren is not a small coin. It’s okay if you get something every time you go to sea. The gold sea monster is really a loss. So some captains refused to throw it away.”

“Will something bad happen if you don’t throw it away?” Syndra seemed to have guessed the result.

“If the ship does not pay taxes to the sea, it will usher in the sanctions of the sea.” Lothar whispered, “In the deep sea, there is a supervisor, who is always watching the sea, and uses the giant anchor in his hand to hold the ship that refuses to pay taxes. The tax ship was sunk.”

“Giant anchor!” Nami exclaimed. She has been in Bilgewater for so long, and she has already recognized what an “anchor” is. “Could it be…”

“Could it be what?” Syndra didn’t know why.

“Remember how we met Nami?” Lothar asked.

“It was caught with a fishing net. She said she was knocked out by a big iron can in the sea…” Sindra also came to her senses, “Couldn’t this scary legend be the guy who knocked out Nami?”

“The Bilgewater people call him [Deep Sea Titan].” Lothar introduced, “It is said that he is actually a human being, because he is wearing a diving suit made of steel and holding an anchor, but when he appears on the sea, he stands still. It is taller than a ship, and it can set off a huge tsunami that even giant sea beasts can’t lift.”

“Woooooo…” Nami hugged herself tightly in fear, “I’ve seen such a scary guy…”

“It’s okay.” Lothar pinched Nami’s fins, “If the legend is true, then [Deep Sea Titan] will only punish those who only know how to take from the sea and not pay taxes to the sea. Nami, you are People in the sea, [Deep Sea Titan] won’t hurt you, don’t you think he just knocked you out last time?”

“Is…is that so…” Nami picked up the kettle on the table and dripped water into her eyes.

“Okay, the last story, I’m going to sleep after listening to it.” Lothar said with a smile, “The last story is very simple. The protagonist is [Tidal Sea Spirit] Fizz.”

“[Tide Sea Spirit]” Syndra used a towel to help Nami wipe off the water flowing down her chin. “It doesn’t sound very scary.”

“[Tidal Sea Spirit] should be the most special one among the four horror legends.” Lothar said, “Its image is very vague. Some people say it is a drowned little boy because he can speak human language. Others say It is the spirit of the sea, because it rides a very large dragon shark. But one thing is for sure, [Tidal sea spirit] likes to play tricks very much.”

“Prank” Syndra and Nami were taken aback.

“As long as Bilgewater people encounter any strange things,, such as lost wallet, rotten food, woman cheating, etc., they will all say that this is a prank by Fitz. They think Fitz is a naughty guy who likes to play tricks on people. ”

“What’s so scary about this?” Syndra didn’t take it seriously.

“Don’t underestimate Fitz.” Lothar grabbed Syndra’s itchy flesh, deliberately scaring her, “Although Fitz likes to play tricks, he never knows the seriousness. If he hides a few nails in your bread, When you bite down…”

Section 229

“Hiss…” Syndra gasped, “Not cute at all!”

After hearing this, Nami quickly rummaged through the leftover cans on the table to see if there were any nails hidden inside.

“Okay, don’t worry too much. As long as you don’t see wet little footprints on the floor, Fitz didn’t come.” Lothar smiled, “Okay, it’s getting late, Nami, you go first Go back to sleep.”

“Okay… okay Mr. Lothar!” Nami left Syndra’s arms, “It’s really interesting to listen to the story! Mr. Lothar, can we often tell stories like this in the future? I can also tell you about the shark story!”

“Okay.” Lothar happily agreed. After all, this kind of occasional story can bring the relationship between Syndra and Nami closer. “Go to sleep, good night.”

“Well! Good night!” Nami packed up the cans on the table, picked up the candlestick, opened the door of the room and walked out.

Nami walked back to her room with the water flow, put the candlestick on the table, then raised the tidecaller staff, and made a big water ball.

Nami doesn’t like sleeping on human beds, but the feeling of being soaked in water makes Nami feel at ease.

Just as Nami was about to get into the water polo to rest, she suddenly froze.

Her eyes were wide open, her face full of disbelief.

On the floor of the room, there were two rows of wet footprints.
