64. Shrimp dish and dried shrimp
"Mr. Johns, the priest you mentioned is Father Reiner Storm?" Jessica asked.
"Miss, I'm talking about him. In the eyes of the Creator's Bishop, he was a strange man. It is said that he was born in a low-level knight family born in the old diocese. He followed his father to train knights since he was young. He entered the church to practice knights at the age of 8. He had a high talent, but at the age of 20 he changed his job to a priest and came to the remote Xiami Peninsula to preside over a small church. This place has no future. He stayed here for more than 30 years, and the church seemed to have forgotten him." Johns said.
Wang Qinian had another view. He could endure loneliness. Such a person was terrible. He either had a fanatical pursuit of faith, so that he served God with all his body and mind, or was dissatisfied with the current situation of the founding bishop. However, he did not leave the founding bishop, which shows that his thinking about God had reached a significant level. No matter which one it was, he was terrible.
Wang Qinian had nothing on the surface, but he remembered this name in his heart. Reiner Storm. Maybe he is very ordinary to others, but for Wang Qinian, he is definitely not simple.
A meal took more than three hours. After all, it was a relatively formal banquet. Although not many people attended, only five people, as the dishes came up and then removed, the table was always clean. Service was a very polite service method. Although it was the best possible on the boat, the dishes tasted fake, but everyone praised and kept expressing their gratitude, as if they were very satisfied. Everyone was as etiquette as elegant as possible.
The same was true for Wang Qinian, although he was full of complaints. He also knew that banquets in this world are closer to the West on Earth. It is a very formal ceremony, so formal etiquette is required. No matter what, he must smile on his face and look happy.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, I have a great day." Johns bowed with a smile, took the hat and coat handed over by the waiter, and expressed his gratitude again.
"It's really a pleasant conversation with you. Thank you for your visit." Wang Qinian said, bowing slightly, and the others also said these unnutritious words and said goodbye to each other.
When Wang Qinian returned to the cabin, Xiaoshuang bulged his mouth. Wang Qinian solicited her opinions in advance and she went there. But after only a while, she couldn't stand it and flew away early: "You humans like to do these meaningless things!"
"Xiaoshuang, I don't like these things, but etiquette is the lubricant in human interaction. Although it seems artificial. But following this, it will naturally change a person. Although it is ridiculous in your eyes, it has achieved human civilization. There is no rule. It cannot be square. These are what you divine creatures do not have. They are also the true part of human civilization."
"Is this really the case?" Xiaoshuang asked with his head tilted.
Wang Qinian nodded: "If a population does not have these rules, they will not be able to develop. Don't underestimate these etiquettes."
Applause sounded outside the door, and Jessica walked in. The three students hurriedly greeted him. Jessica smiled to respond and turned her head: "I didn't expect you to have said such a set of principles, but it seems like this."
Wang Qinian smiled: "Will you come here for what I say?"
"Of course not. I just looked at the students. We will arrive tomorrow morning. The boat will stop for an hour and continue to move to the next stop. There are only us and Johns at this stop. Do you don't like the priest?" Jessica said.
Wang Qinian was shocked and immediately said, "I can see that I am a necromancer and have a bad impression of the founding bishop's priest. This is probably related to my previous experience. However, the priest mentioned today is not simple."
"Why is it not simple, he is just a loser. His contemporaries either become the elite among the knights or the bishop of the cathedral, but he has no promotion here," said Jessica.
"The fame and fortune in the world have nothing to do with him. He may have entered an area that others have not walked through." Wang Qinian smiled, but Jessica didn't believe it.
"Is this really the case? You may have misunderstood." Jessica said.
"You can tell at a glance when you go to Xiami Peninsula." Wang Qinian said.
On Xiami Peninsula, after receiving the letter from Demir, Ms. Mikoyang was also happy. His old friend finally escaped. He calculated that the boat would arrive. He ordered that he would pick it up in person. He had to prepare some local specialties. Xiami Peninsula had no specialties. It was like this. Two things were produced, but the same was shrimp salvaged by fishermen. This peninsula was named. The shrimps in this place were no different from other places, but the next specialties were unique. There was a leafy vegetable on Xiami Peninsula, a wild vegetable called shrimps. It grew in the deep mountains. It was nothing surprising. But cooking shrimps with it was an excellent delicacy in the world, but the quantity was sparse. Moreover, in the deep mountains, occasionally mountain people picked them and sold them at high prices. Mikoyang Magician instructed his subordinates to pay attention to these days that they must buy shrimps.
As the time was estimated, the boat was about to arrive this morning. Magician Migoyang went down the mountain early and came to the pier. The cool and slightly fishy sea breeze blew in the face. There was no one on the pier in the distance. There seemed to be someone coming from behind. He turned around and saw Father Storm also coming to the pier. He was not like Migoyang. There was no one behind him, wearing a shabby priest robe, but it was washed very clean, not very clean. Its material determines its cleanliness.
Migoyan did not pay attention to Father Storm, although he had heard of his name for a long time. When Migoyan's ex left, Father Storm was told about the matter. Migoyan did not pay attention to it, and only then did he realize that the priest was not simple.
"Ri'an, the servant of the Lord, noble Father Storm, how did you come to the dock?" asked Migoyan.
"Ri'an, the darling of the dear Creator, the noble magician, I'm here to pick someone up, where are you?" Father Storm said with a smile.
"I'm also picking up people. A group of students from Holinqiaoton returned from their training in Manzhou. I'll pick them up. Who are you picking up?"
"I only received a person. He also traveled to Manzhou. I came to pick him up the letter I sent to me."
The two of them smiled and started chatting. It was still early. The two people who could determine the life and death of the town started chatting on the pier. Occasionally, fishermen passed by and immediately saluted the two respectfully.
Strangely, although the town is located in Noma, Noma does not take care of it. This place naturally becomes the jurisdiction of Holin Bridgeton and the Cult. However, Holin Bridgeton and the Cult are not concerned about it. Holin Bridgeton is better. After all, this place is a transit station and magicians are regularly replaced to maintain the teleportation array here. However, the Cult has never taken care of it except for a small church, and it seems to have become a place of exile.
"Do you know, there were werewolfs in the mountains and forests. A few adventurers encountered it and were injured. Or did I treat them with herbs. I don't know how lucky they are. Whether they can escape the disaster of the moon and half will depend on their luck." Father Storm said, saying that adventurers were scratched by werewolfs, as if they were infected sometimes. On the night of the full moon, there is a certain chance of becoming werewolfs.
"I heard a wolf howl against the moon on a full moon night last month. The sound was unusual, but I didn't think about it in this regard. Isn't there no werewolf in the Xiami Peninsula?" Migoyang said.
"It was not before, but it was only in the past two months. Someone saw a werewolf. Another person who picked shrimp vegetables was bitten by a werewolf. Later, he died of serious injuries." Father Storm said.
He knew that Migoyang had been here for two or three months and had hardly appeared in the town. The magician was really a group of monsters. Few magicians from Holin Bridgeton were willing to go to the town. Perhaps nothing was worth their attention.
"This is a problem. The moon will be full in two days. Let's talk about it later." Mi Gaoyang said that sharp sails appeared on the sea level. When the boat came, they were excited. But it would take a while to wait for the boat. The dock also began to lively. The locals were holding dried shrimps and a man holding dried shrimps. They saw Mi Gaoyang. Mi Gaoyang waved his hand and called him in front of him. After looking at the shrimps, the quality was good, so he took out money to buy them.
Several other people selling shrimp and vegetables retreated. Mi Gaoyang also walked up to him. The vendor said with a bitter face: "Master Magician, what we sell is not shrimp and vegetables. We talk about shrimp and vegetables in front of outsiders. We dare not lie in front of you."
Mi Gaoyang grabbed a handful, looked at the appearance of a very similar one, tasted one in his mouth, immediately distinguished it, smiled, and let a few people go.
The boat was getting closer and finally landing. The boat was lowered and lowered the gangway. Demire took the lead out of the cabin. When he saw that it was an old friend who came to pick him up, he hugged each other excitedly. After a while, Migoyang shook hands with Wang Qinian and others, and whispered: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, Demire and the students wouldn't know if they could come back."
The students also got off the boat one after another, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Johns also greeted Father Storm, and the group of people chatted and laughed and left again, while the temporary vendors were selling shrimps and fake shrimp dishes to the people on the boat.
The boat stopped here for an hour, and the people on the boat also took this opportunity to breathe in groups of three or five on the dock. The hawkers and bargaining sounded on the dock.
"You have two days off here, and I will welcome you. Although this place is remote and there is nothing good to eat, there is still some wild game. The shrimp and shrimp dishes here are awesome. Don't see someone selling shrimp dishes on the dock. That's fake. I guess all the shrimp dishes on the market are here. I'll let you try the real shrimp and shrimp dishes." Mi Gaoyang's senior magician said to Wang Qinian and the others.
