Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

Page 81

A certain beautiful girl god who was highly regarded by Demeter just fainted in the boy's arms.

"Artemis? Is this heatstroke? But isn't it spring now..."

"I don't know. Take a break first and wipe your face with cold water."

"..."

Not far away, Demeter, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but hold up his forehead.

thinking.

What a useless "trash" guy...

in the end.

As expected, I have to do it myself!

--------

PS: I went out for dinner with a friend, so I’m sorry for the late update.

Chapter 89: Suspicious, very suspicious!

In the end, Demeter used the reason of "buying ingredients for dinner".

Pulling Al.

He went to a seaside town to buy groceries, thus avoiding "further contact" between the boy and the elf girl!

As dusk approached, under the blue sky, the small orange sun seemed to be sinking into the sea. Flocks of seagulls flew by, making some noisy sounds.

The sails form a forest.

After entering the town, you can see the ships in the harbor from everywhere.

They vary in size, but are basically quite "old" sailing ships.

El had previously heard that the "Spirit Boat" known as the [School District] was an ultra-large floating ship based on magic stone technology.

Known as the largest ship in the world, it has a diameter of over 700 meters and houses a complex of buildings that can almost be called a fortress.

But now it seems.

This type of magic stone ship doesn't seem to be very common. The fishing boats and merchant ships in front of us are mostly wooden sailing ships...

The boy's thoughts drifted away.

With Demeter beside him, they walked along the cobblestone streets of the town.

Even when the beautiful woman was on the beach just now, she did not change into a swimsuit or anything. Instead, she wore a pure white loose dress and a big straw hat with a garland woven on it.

It does have a summery feel.

It even reminds Al of the "Hachisha-sama" who appears every day in some obscure urban legends.

It’s almost the same!

It’s just that Demeter is not that “tall”, but they are really about the same “big”.

now.

The beautiful woman held her arm quite intimately.

Carrying a bamboo basket in one hand, they really look like a young couple going out to buy groceries, so amazing!

In the evening, we plan to have a barbecue buffet dinner on the beach.

When you get to the beach, you definitely have to eat all kinds of seafood.

Fish, shrimp, octopus, shells and conchs...

As the port city of Melun, the market is full of vendors selling these things, but Demeter is a goddess after all, so she has her own "channels".

soon.

Al followed the beautiful woman out of the bustling trading market and came to the fishing port where many ships that had just returned from sailing were docked.

"Ah, is it Demeter?"

"Hmm, Njord, did you just come back? Do you have anything good?"

"There are so many good things, take your pick!"

Among fishing boats.

There are busy fishermen everywhere.

The fish, shrimps, crabs and other items that had just been caught were sorted and thrown into large wooden boxes filled with sea water.

The leader.

He is a male god who looks quite strong.

Like most fishermen, he is almost shirtless and his skin looks a little dark, which is the result of years of wind and sun at sea.

He was wearing only a pair of shorts and sandals, and at the moment he was showing a sunny smile.

After Poseidon's family left Meren.

The Njord clan can be said to have "taken over" this place.

Almost all fishermen are members of the clan, which is somewhat similar to Demeter's clan, but different.

There are quite a lot of adventurers in the Njord clan.

There are also quite a few level 2 guys among them.

After all, fishing at sea is not only hard work, but the bonus of God's grace can save a lot of trouble.

more importantly.

There are far more monsters in the sea than on land.

El also heard from Demeter and Artemis that since the construction of the Tower of Babel, which almost "suppressed" the underground city, the only monsters left on earth are those who escaped from the underground city in ancient times and have reproduced to this day.

But after reproduction, the monsters will become weaker, and the magic stones in their bodies will become smaller and smaller.

It has even reached the point where even ordinary people who have not received the favor of God can kill it.

This is also the reason why, except for Orario, there are not many high-level adventurers in the world - there are not so many monsters for you to fight and level up.

But the situation is different in the sea.

in the sea.

The ocean is too vast and the monsters have no natural enemies.

Even if there are Poseidon's followers, who are dedicated to clearing out sea monsters and patrolling around, it is still a drop in the bucket.

"Njord, weren't you worried about this before?"

Demeter said.

"Something about there being too many monsters in the sea, causing children to get injured frequently while fishing, and the catches to decrease..."

"Yes."

The sturdy god sighed, but the fishing boats were catching a good harvest, so he didn't look troubled at all.

"But I don't know what's going on lately, but there seem to be fewer monsters and more fish to catch. Maybe... things will get better! Hahaha..."

"I see. You were worried about asking for support from the guild before."

"Ah...right! We caught a huge tuna and an octopus today. They're really fresh. Roy's here too, right? I'll give them to you as a thank you! He also said you always take care of him, Demeter!"

"Thank you very much."

Chloe, another cat girl waitress in the tavern, is in a similar situation to Lunova, as she was once a "killer cat".

After coming to Orario, he was nominally a member of the Njord clan, but not a formal member.

Fresh sea fish, shrimps, crabs, and a huge octopus - it is really huge, with a tentacle alone being two or three meters long.

It was quickly loaded onto a truck and prepared to be transported to the Western-style house outside the town where everyone was staying.

Demeter took himself and quickly said goodbye to Njord, preparing to wander around the city for a while before going back.

Until.

Some distance from the pier.

Only then did Al hear Demeter's gentle question whispered in his ear.

"Er-kun...what do you think?"

"Very suspicious."

Al gave his judgment directly.

Before leaving.

Njord also gave himself and Demeter a large bag of "small bags", saying that it contained powder that could drive away sea monsters. They could carry it with them and sprinkle it in the water when swimming in the sea to avoid being attacked by monsters.

"Although you might not need it—after all, you're all powerful adventurers—but if you're on vacation, being interrupted would be a real bummer, so it's best to keep it with you."

That's what the god who always looks cheerful and sunny said.

Al noticed.

Almost all the fishermen just now had such small bags hanging around their waists.

After opening it and taking a look, Al discovered that there seemed to be some kind of "crystal powder" inside. Is this a prop that can expel monsters?

I don’t understand yet what this has to do with the smuggling activities I’m investigating.

There are too many ships sailing out of the port city of Melun every day.

Moreover, there are all kinds of people here, and the guild has no management ability here.

From the Soma clan that he had captured earlier, he learned that they and a clan called "Ikelos" were smuggling monsters.

But according to the association's investigation.

Ikelos didn't live in the city at all, and there was no trace of him anywhere.

Although the other party has been identified as the "Dark God" and a wanted order has been issued, there has been no further progress or clues on the other side.

It's pretty much the same as my initial guess.

The guys from the Soma clan are just marginal figures who help out and don't know any secrets at all.

So……

The unusual monsters in the dungeon, and the colorful magic stones;

The attack he encountered on the 18th floor, caused by the dark god;

The "secret base" in the sewers of Orario, and the monsters it smuggles;

Ishtar's Familia and their cooperation;

What is the connection between all these? Al felt like he was missing an important clue and it was difficult to connect them all together.

And at the same time.

On the busy long street nearing night.

Several beautiful Amazon women were looking in the direction of Al and Demeter, intentionally or unintentionally.

Then quickly.
