Chapter 339 The strange sea

Kaolgeli is a large city that was established less than a century ago, but both its infrastructure and population density have far exceeded the current capital of the Principality of Kema.

Moreover, there are many novel things there that have never been heard of before. Even Captain Harry's airship is common there.

However, it is very difficult to settle there. You have to go through a series of reviews and pay a large amount of money, even for wizard apprentices.

Baidong College is only open to formal wizards and above for free.

"What if it's just a short stay?" Sol asked.

"Then you only need to hand in this number. But it needs to be reviewed regularly." Pound compared a number to Thor.

Thor immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to Coulgari as his next stop.

During the conversation, the city wall of Blue Water Bay was already in sight, but Sol had not seen the "blue water", nor the black water.

“Isn’t Blue Water Bay close to the sea?”

"It used to be true, but after the war a hundred years ago, the urban area of ​​Blue Water Bay was moved away from the sea. The tide of souls has become more frequent in recent years, and even the villages living near the water bay had to move away."

Pound opened the large car window and pointed the direction to Saul, "If you want to go to the beach, just follow that road and go south."

Listening to Pound's introduction, Thor slowly frowned, "Since the seaside has long been uninhabited, why are there still ships docked at the dock there?"

Pound looked bitter, "Because it's cheap, sir. But in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer ships willing to dock at Blue Water Bay, and life has become more and more difficult."

Thor glanced at Pound's ten fingers and said, "Difficult?"

"Haha," Pound twitched his lips in embarrassment, "I don't do business in this area, I just come here occasionally to see my wife and children who live here."

Thor naturally didn't care about Pound's personal life. He kept Pound mainly because he wanted to know about the soul tide.

"How much do you know about soul tides?"

"Many, my lord."

Pound's eyes lit up, and he knew that his chance to perform had come!

…

In the end, Saul did not enter the city of Blue Water Bay. He asked Pound for a horse and silently turned onto the path to the bay halfway.

Although the wealthy businessman Pound regretted not being able to invite Sol to his home, he was more relieved that Sol left.

He told his men to hurry up and wanted to go home as soon as possible, but as soon as the carriage picked up speed, he saw a group of nobles waiting outside the city gate.

"Sir!" outside the car window, the slightly older attendant said tremblingly: "Viscount Elaf, Mrs. Shetterly, Mr. Odu, please come over and sit down for a moment."

Pound was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long breath.

On the other side, when Sol arrived at the beach, the sky was already gray.

Thick clouds came into view almost instantly. The sky was still clear on the shore, but there were dark clouds on the sea.

Just like a sharp knife, the sea and the land are divided into two worlds, with clear distinctions.

Only the waves covered with white foam occasionally cross the boundary. They are like palms struggling for survival, trying hard to climb ashore, but in the end they retreat in despair because of the indifference of the beach.

What was just said was not entirely a metaphor. Saul squinted his eyes and saw that between the ebb and flow of the waves, pairs of pale arms would occasionally appear, clawing at the shore with their knuckles ferociously, only to be quickly scattered by the waves.

"There is indeed a problem with the sea water here."

The sea in my previous life was refreshing and joyful to watch, but the sea in front of me always gave people a faint feeling of palpitations.

Just like you are not looking at the sea from the shore, but a drowning person who will sink to the bottom of the sea forever at any time.

The farthest point where the sea and the sky merge is also twisted, with pale gray and deep ink blue gradually merging together, but swallowing each other up.

The skyline is not a straight line, but a distorted outline.

After just watching for a moment, Thor felt a little restless in his mental body. He lowered his head, no longer looking at the end of the sky, and only focused on what was in front of him.

"No wonder ordinary people would rather spend huge sums of money to move a city. If they really lived by the sea every day and looked at such a scene, 9 out of 10 people would go crazy."

At this time, he was standing on a cliff some distance away from the sea water, and was about to fly to the bottom of the cliff to observe the sea water up close, when he heard other sounds mixed with the waves.

It was the sound of shoe soles rubbing against gravel and shells, and the sound of running against the waves.

Thor wanted to look around, and finally saw a dozen people on a flat piece of sand below the cliff.

This group of people included men and women, old and young. Each of them had a thick hemp rope tied around their waist, and the hemp rope was tied to a larger stone on the shore.

Their eyes were covered with black scarves, and their feet stepped on wet sand and sometimes knee-deep sea water.

They would stop after taking a step or two and put their hands into the seawater or sand to explore.

They looked very nervous every time they bent over, with their knees slightly bent and tense, ready to exert force at any time. It was as if they were not bending down, but preparing to jump.

"Are these people... rushing to sea?"

Thor used his flying technique to silently jump off the cliff, and then landed a hundred meters away from those people.

He took a few steps toward the sea and looked down at the spot where the waves had plowed the beach, but found nothing.

"There are very few shells and seaweed here, but there are no traces of human walking. This means that they were not dug away by people who drove the sea. It is that this inaccessible place originally lacked animals and plants."

At this time, Xiaozao suddenly came out from the back of Sol's neck, looking left and right like a flexible snake.

"What did you find again?"

Xiaozao immediately turned his head towards the direction of the waves.

"Is it the smell of death?" Sol thought, and took two more steps toward the sea.

Suddenly he heard a frightened shout from the crowd.

He immediately turned his head to look and saw that one of the men straightened up suddenly, then turned around and ran in the direction of the rope without saying a word.

He didn't stop until he was out of reach of the waves. He had only walked a few steps, but he was already so tired that he was bent over and breathing heavily.

He was obviously very frightened.

Although Thor only turned to look after the other person shouted, his quick reaction and excellent eyes allowed him to see clearly what scared the man.

They were a pair of pale hands, hidden in the same pale waves.

Those hands turned into reality in an instant, and instantly grasped the man's wrist that was groping in the sea water.

So the man fled ashore in terror.

After the man escaped, everyone else stopped and straightened up. They turned their heads covered in black scarves in the direction of the man, and were very nervous. But after a few breaths, no one followed the man ashore.

They seemed to be hesitating, hesitating, and reluctant to give up.

It was quiet for another minute. The first person continued to bend down and fumble for something in the sand, then the second person, and the third person...

Everyone's face was numb, even the children.

The man who was scared away rested for a while on the shore with his knees up, and then stretched the rope again. After making sure that the rope was tied to the rock very firmly, he walked back into the sea.

"There should be something in the sea that can be sold for money." Thor simply walked over to where those people were, preparing to ask directly.

At this moment, something unexpected happened again.

A boy suddenly slipped and fell into the water. He struggled to stand up, but somehow managed to crawl two steps into the deep water.

After being choked by the waves, he hurriedly grabbed the rope around his waist to determine the direction of the shore.

But when he straightened the rope and climbed two more steps in the direction of the rope, he found that the water was deeper.

The parts of his face that were not covered by the black scarf showed a horrified expression, and he obviously didn't know why this was happening.
