[Comprehensive] Best Companion

Compared to how well he knew Coen, Hai Ge felt that he knew him far less well.

As Coen said, Haige couldn't move anymore when he arrived in Tinia, a seaside town.This is the place she dreamed of, except for the blue sky and the vast blue sea, everything else is only shrouded in holy white and gold.

Here, no matter whether it is a house or the stones paving the ground, everything is clean and white.In the center of Tinia, there is a huge church. The golden bell on the top will ring on time when the sun rises and the sun sets.

The pure white streets do not allow any filth and dust. In the small flower garden beside the road, there are blooming roses, lilies and some flowers that the sea song cannot describe.

In Tinia, Hai Ge saw many statues of mermaids holding scepters, the largest of which should be the one enshrined in the large fountain in front of the church.Without exception, these statues are all statues of Neptune. Residents living near the sea often make a living by casting nets to catch marine life.

Different from the delusion of the siren, the residents of Tinia believe that the sea king will protect them, so that they can return home safely with a full load when the sun goes down.

Therefore, every year on June [-]th, the residents of Tinia will gather in the square to celebrate the birth of Neptune.That is to say, from this day on, the residents will stop casting nets to catch marine life by themselves, and will not start going to sea again until three months have passed.

This is not only for better reproduction of marine life, but also to express the residents' respect for the living conditions provided by Neptune.

Residents of Tinia work and enjoy life.During the three months of recuperation, everyone will hold many activities to worship the ocean, and invite them to have dinner together in their spare time.Whether you are a townsman or an adventurer passing by by chance, you can participate in such a rare feast.

What Keen bought this time is enough land to be called a manor. If it weren't for the fact that the No. 30 floor also has a safety area and a training area, after entering the manor, Haige will definitely feel like returning to one of his many properties in the real world. Feel.

The atmosphere of the manor is very in line with the atmosphere of the town of Tinia, quiet and peaceful.Regardless of how tense the reality of the outside world is, this place is always at ease, a place of relaxation and tranquility.

Trimmed into various shapes, neatly arranged green vegetation surrounds the central white building, and the roof is outlined with golden patterns. Through the bright glass, you can capture a little bit of brown tapestry, goose yellow curtains and other decorations in the house.

Everything is as Cohen promised, the flower garden is full of blooming purple-blue irises, Haige's room has a fully open balcony, facing the flower garden.Against the backdrop of sea blue, the mix of vivid and bright colors can always give her an infinitely good mood when she wakes up in the morning.

She couldn't find any dissatisfaction with the interior decoration of the house.Ke En followed behind Hai Ge who was looking around excitedly, with a soft smile faintly on his cold face.

"It's so beautiful here."

After walking around for a whole circle, if there was anything wrong with it, it would be that there were only the two of them in the whole house, which seemed a bit too lonely.

Hai Ge watched Ke En push open the glass window facing the sea in the corridor, and the fresh sea breeze poured in, blowing away her long hair like the night.Cohen reached out and brushed her messy sideburns around, and said with concentration: "As long as you like it."

His room was next to hers, and the two rooms shared a fully open balcony.There is a set of European-style tables and chairs for drinking tea and viewing the scenery. This will undoubtedly be the best place for them to sit, read and drink tea in the afternoon.

Hai Ge no longer remembers how many times she asked to live in a seaside villa for a while, but each time her request was rejected by her parents who were worried about her health.Because of her frail body, not only did the sun stay away from her, but even the sea that had appeared countless times in her dreams was the same.

She felt like the sea fishes in the middle of the living room at home who were deceived by the fish tank. She could only look at the blue sea on the screen through the glass, but she could never experience the comfort and freedom of being immersed in the sea water.

"After dinner in the evening, shall we also go to the square to have a look?"

Today is the rare June [-]th. When I first moved here, I heard from the residents that there will be a lively Neptune sacrifice dance in the central square at night.Hai Ge, who hasn't been with the crowd for a long time, certainly doesn't want to miss such a rare event.

He would not refuse any of her requests except seafood.

******

As night fell, a raging fire had already ignited in the central square surrounded by ropes.Interspersed with the dancing and celebrating crowd, Cohen took Hai Ge to a table and chair to sit down.

The young girl serving as the waiter quickly served the Semut wine to the new guests, and after confirming that it was only slightly sweet fruit wine, Cohen was relieved to let Hai Ge drink some.

Hai Ge saw eleven or twelve-year-old girls with colorful strings on their braids, gathered around a small fire on the other side, holding homemade colorful rattan balls and singing unknown tunes.

"Tell me, what are they singing?"

"The little girl is an adventurer who came here, right?" Sitting at the table behind Hai Ge and Ke En was a family who owned an inn in the town.

Tinia is the largest town since the [-]th floor. Although it is big, the boss's family has a good memory and remembers the townspeople very clearly. Occasionally, I saw such a beautiful girl and a person with a voice that sounded like a boy wearing a hood. It is very sure that this is an adventurer.

In addition to the characteristic of being grateful, the residents of Tinia are more enthusiastic towards others, and they have the habit of showing the folklore of Tinia to everyone.Guests from afar came here to participate in the Neptune Festival, and of course the local residents who received the guests had the obligation to introduce them to them.

"That's the hymn of the ocean! Legend has it that there was no grass in this world, and the residents living here could only dig the ground in search of edible creatures. One day, His Royal Highness the Great King of the Sea passed by here and saw how difficult everyone's life was. So the precious water was given here, and Tinia has changed from water to living things and plants, so that everyone who lives in difficulty has the capital to survive."

"The Hymn of the Sea is the hymn everyone dedicated to the Sea King. The children of Tinia can sing it since they were young, and the residents will sing it when they return safely by boat at sunset. This song must be sung ten times in a row every year when fishing is banned. the tune."

Haige suddenly remembered that this time Tinia had been forbidden to go out to sea since they came here in May to confirm the location of the house, so it seems strange that they moved a few days earlier, so he couldn't help asking: "This year, everyone seems to have moved ahead of schedule." Fishing is banned..."

"Yes!" Mentioning this matter, the hotel owner was also distressed a lot. Due to the ban on going to sea in advance, everyone who was unprepared is now worried that there is not enough food to survive these three months. That’s why it’s like this.”

The rules of the ancestral system cannot be broken. It is disrespectful to disturb Neptune’s rest. Now everyone can only grow some short-term vegetables. If necessary, they can only trade with distant villages.

The reason why this year's Neptune Festival is much bigger than before is also because I hope His Highness Neptune can receive the residents' requests for help, so that the weirdness in the south can be eliminated as soon as possible.

When mentioning this weirdness, the residents gathered together one after another, talking to each other, Hai Ge finally figured it out.

On the whole, it was nothing more than a certain captain led everyone back to the south side of the Tinia Road, and found a sky-high light appearing somewhere on the sea surface.There was a huge vortex of waves on the sea surface around that light, but fortunately they were far away at that time, otherwise they would have been sucked into it.

This phenomenon occurs every sunset, and the range of light has been expanding with each passing day.Not only can you not sail in this range, but even marine life will avoid it, otherwise you will not know where you will be sucked there.

Some people have also seen the center of the light, which seems to have the appearance of a living thing.According to the rumors, there are all dangerous sea monsters making troubles, which is definitely a disaster for Tinia, which has been peaceful for hundreds of years.

"If this goes on like this, one day the monster will finish eating the creatures, and it may devour Tinia." The boss said worriedly: "Everyone also ask some adventurers to take a look, but they all escaped from the tiger's mouth and almost got caught in it." .In the end, no matter how high the salary was, no one would accept it.”

"If the sea monster really came, we would have to move."

In the eyes of the residents who spoke, could it be that there was a deep sense of reluctance.This is the town where they have occupied for hundreds of years. Unless forced to, no one would be willing to leave the home where they were born and raised.

"I hope Lord Neptune can show up and drive away this monster that came out of nowhere, so that everyone doesn't have to worry anymore. I really want to see His Royal Highness Neptune."

Although the little girl's words contained a large part of fantasy, she was not laughed at by everyone after she said it.The residents looked at the giant Neptune statue in the center of the town square in unison, with serious and earnest expressions.

As far as Haige is concerned, this game is the real world.The legendary history that everyone talks about may be just a certain procedure in the eyes of adventurers, but it is really experienced by residents.

The outdoor stone carvings have long been blurred by a hundred years of wind and rain, and the wave relief placed under the statue of Neptune has been rounded by time.

Their address is facing the sea. If the time is right, they should be able to clearly see the scene that the residents mentioned from their balcony.

"It would be great if I could hold my breath underwater for a long time, like a fish, so I wouldn't be afraid of being sucked into the water."

"Even if it is possible, it will be eaten by sea monsters!"

"makes sense."

The land is the place where adventurers can display their skills, and the residents have long understood it.Facing a group of adventurer teams who were extremely confident and majestic when they went, and panting and embarrassed when they returned, they tried everything they could think of, but they all returned in failure.
