[The Spirit of my Artifact], a new book
Roughly an hour later, we arrived at the island we saw in Giro's cliff. Because of the distance, I wrongly estimated its size. I originally thought it would be a small island, but this island's size was at least as big as two of our Dragon King City s.
The buildings on the island were all made from ordinary rocks and materials, but the ground under their feet was made from the same kind of Yee uhen.
I curiously asked: ”Ning Xian, didn't you say that the Yee uhen would sink into the sea? Then why do we have to use it to make the bottom of the island? ”
Ning Xian said: ”This island is naturally formed, it is located in the center of Blue Sea, below it are all Yee uhen, and it is directly connected to the bottom of Blue Sea.”
I began to size up the island. The architecture here was more like the architecture along the Mediterranean Sea. The simple and bright style looked very fresh. And after the lanterns were lit just now, the Blue Sea was reflecting the endless beauty of the scenery on the shore.
When we landed, a fishing boat landed and was loaded with all kinds of fish, but they all had one characteristic, which was the length of the boat.
Seeing that I was looking at the fish curiously, Ning Xian walked over and said something to the boatsman. She brought two fishes over and placed them in front of me.
I looked at her, and she motioned for me to take the two fish. However, he received two fish from his hands.
Receiving the rope that was wrapped around the fish, Ning Xian let go and I suddenly felt that I was holding two pieces of iron in my hands. In a split-second, the fish dropped to the ground together with my hand, producing a rock-like sound. When Shui Xinyue saw me like this, she laughed without restraint and said, ”Aren't you lacking something? You can't even take out these two fishes, they really match your miraculous Inherent Skill.”
I unhappily glared at Shui Xinyue, who said to Shui Xinyue: ”What magical talent is this?”
Shui Xinyue covered her mouth and laughed lightly: ”One of his most powerful innate skills is that her body is weak, she was born with no way to take out heavy weapons like metal weapons.”
Ning Xian asked curiously: ”No wonder I can't take out these two Rock Mark Fish. Generally speaking, all grown men can take them.” My face was streaked with black.
Suddenly, Ning Xian realized that she had said something without thinking and apologized immediately, ”Um, sorry about that, just now …”
”It's fine, I hate this unlucky talent too.” I interrupted her
She asked curiously, ”Don't tell me all of you, the later generation, are all men like this?”
Alright, gentlemen, I've blackened your faces. This girl actually thinks that all the men who come after us are like this. I immediately defended the majority of my male compatriots, including the fact that I used to be a pure man who weighed over a hundred pounds with one hand.
Shui Xinyue, who was at the side, looked at me in disdain. However, Ning Xian, this girl, actually believed it. She actually asked me, ”What a pity.
My old face almost flushed red. I changed the topic and asked her, ”Don't you have Outsider s here?”
Ning Xian said: ”Hmm, Haixin City does not have any other Outsider. We heard about the matters of the Outsider from merchants in the past, and my father did not allow me to leave the Blue Sea before I reach my eighteenth year of coming of age.”
So that's the case, looks like there isn't a single Outsider on this island, and Ning Xian should be a little princess who is well protected. Since young, no one would dare to brag like I do, so she never thought that I would lie.
I then saw the two fish that I had humiliated. I asked Ning Xian, ”Why are these two fish so heavy? They look just like normal fish in size.”
Ning Xian explained, ”The reason why blue water was able to float heavy objects such as rocks is because its own density was so much higher than mercury, and it could even float a piece of metal. Thus, fish that want to survive in there must have a density even greater than blue water s.”
He then picked up the two fishes and said, ”This kind of fish lives in the shallow water of the Blue Sea, Rock Streak Fish. Although it doesn't look big, once it is boiled in normal water, it will immediately expand by more than ten times, so this small Rock Streak fish is more than enough for one person to eat for a long time. Therefore, we don't lack food here, there are even Starfish Rice in the sea.
I looked at these items in a mysterious manner. I had never heard of any liquid that could have such density. However, she then thought of another question. Why were the two Tripterygium wilfordii so light when they were living within the blue water as well, and she asked Ning Xian this question.
