The aquarium has been a battleground for military strategists who have been in love since ancient times.
This place can be said to be an unprecedented dating mecca. Whether it is the vast deep blue ocean or the cute aquatic animals, it is the key to igniting love between two people. Here, countless lovers finally get married, and many half-hearted people fulfill their long-cherished wishes and get married. So the question is, which category do Zhou Li and Eluma belong to?
The answer is, neither.
"One hundred copper coins for a two-person ticket. Thank you for your patronage."
Zhou Li looked at the ticket with the beluga pattern printed on it and scratched his head, feeling a little strange for a moment. Only then did Zhou Li realize that in the world of normal people, copper coins were the mainstream currency. Things like gold coins are generally financial products and are rarely spent directly.
However, if you buy a strawberry yourself, you have to calculate it according to gold coins, which is sad.
After sighing at the price, Zhou Li and Eluma entered Tariq's ocean forest together. Then he was shocked.
"Is this an aquarium?"
When the two walked through a slightly dark tunnel and came to a vast area, a huge glass water body broke into their eyes. In the glass area mixed with high-grade colloids, the ocean seemed to be put in a bottle, with countless aquatic creatures wandering in the seawater behind the crystal clear glass.
Tariq's architectural style is inherited from the Tsarist Empire and has always been known for its majesty. At this time, the "aquarium" in front of Zhou Li actually contained the ocean in a bottle. This majestic aura that hit his face made Zhou Li feel his breath hitched. Eluma on the side had stars in her eyes, happily grabbing Zhou Li's hand, and trotted to the glass water body to admire the swimming fish.
"Sea of Dust."
Zhou Li noticed the introduction panel next to this huge glass building. He squinted his eyes and began to read the text on it.
"The Dust Sea was established in the year 210 of the Tsarist Empire. The design concept is to shrink the Tariq Sea into a glass bottle to display Tariq's marine features and biological features. The designer of this building is Louis William (Tsar) 16th century)"
It's this Louis William again.
Zhou Li was a little surprised after seeing the designer. He looked at the building again and felt deeply the roughness and heroic spirit of the Tarik people. After all, the idea of putting the ocean in a bottle is difficult for other artists to do except for these Tarik people who are not afraid of anything.
"Zhou Li Zhou Li! Look, look! Cloud-winged blue-tailed fish!!"
Eluma pulled Zhou Li over and pointed her green-white index finger on the transparent glass. The azure water light rippled slightly, reflecting the girl's pure eyes. In front of her, a sea fish with cloud-white fins, light blue body, and faint blue tail floated quietly in front of them. Zhou Li followed Eluma's finger and looked at the precious blue fish, and for a moment he was amazed at this beautiful creature.
Red gold jade tail shark, long killer whale, live fish, white striped silk fish. Many aquatic creatures unique to Tariq live carefree in this man-made sea, and in front of them are countless humans who are fascinated by their beauty and ingenuity.
Including elite agents of the Merchant Church.
"What a nice view…"
As an elite agent of the Merchant Church, Nova Izzy is affiliated with the First Consul, Mr. Yin, and is an elite agent directly under the Merchant Church. As a top intelligence officer, Izzy has undergone endless training and learning since the day he was adopted by the Business Church as a child. And she lived up to expectations, joining the Commercial Church with first place in the church school and becoming the best agent in her class.
Izzy has a good figure, a delicate and elegant appearance, and possesses the dual professional abilities of a brilliant-level "detective" and a platinum-level "shadow assassin". She is thoughtful, has amazing powers of observation, and possesses analytical skills that are enviable by instructors. He was such a perfect agent, and now, his mind was taken away by a fish.
In fact, this problem still has to be blamed on the Commercial Church. As an interest group that favors business, the Commercial Church also adopts orphans and cultivates its own power like other churches. But they regard these fostered orphans more as commodities, without much human touch in them.
Many times, these agents have an employment relationship with commercial churches. The business church adopts them and teaches them, but the price is that they need to create enough value for the business church. In theory, they can break away from the commercial church. As long as they repay the hidden debts they bear, they can completely break away from the commercial church. But the problem is that the invisible debt that business teaches these people needs to be repaid throughout their lives, a win-win situation.
In fact, if that's all it is, it's not impossible. After all, powerful mercenaries are also an optional path. Other churches actually adopt orphans for the same purpose, but they are not as direct as commercial churches. But the biggest problem with commercial churches in training agents is that they don’t pay much attention to mental health.
Note that this specifically refers to the agent’s hobbies and relaxation.
After all, this is a commercial church. Throwing in a garlic clove can disgust half the vampire gathering in the building. If Yin Jue, a far-sighted pope, had not come to power, the business church would have been trained in a centralized training camp model with no human touch at all. But even if Yinjue comes to power, all the agents, including Izzy, are not mentally healthy.
"Wow, so beautiful~~~"
With her soft cheek pressed tightly against the glass, Izzy looked at the swarms of white-scaled fish in front of her with gleaming eyes, and her red lips opened slightly involuntarily.
As the first agent, Izzy's entertainment activities were pitiful. Compared with her, Don Quixote was the type who often lived and drank. In this kind of growing environment, Izzy miraculously did not become an "unhuman and cold person", but instead buried those girlish feelings in her heart. And now, these feelings have exploded.
"This girl loves the ocean."
Holding Zhou Li's arm, Eluma glanced curiously at the black-haired girl not far away, and said softly: "She watched the white-scaled fish for more than ten minutes. She really likes these fish."
"Everyone has their own hobbies."
Because Izzy was too engrossed in watching the fish, Zhou Li rarely discovered Izzy's identity as an agent this time. While Izzy was staring at those wonderful fish, Zhou and Li had already arrived at the second area.
"Wairui, I want to live here."
As a middle-aged and elderly man aged twenty-five + twenty-five + five, Zhou Li could not resist the temptation of large machinery. At this time, the "Tiger III Type Assault Vehicle", "Magic Silt Dredger", "Julang No. 3 Magic Fishing Boat" and other giant marine operating equipment appeared in front of Zhou Li, like brave men. The trap also made Zhou Li unable to take his eyes away.
The domineering appearance, the structure full of mechanical texture, and the rugged yet exquisite device. These machines, which represented the level of Tariq's machinery manufacturing industry, were like mechanical beauties one after another, full of temptation for Zhou Li.
Looking at the romance of those middle-aged men, Zhou Li lamented that Tariq was the best in the world in technology, while pulling Eluma to start visiting these underwater operating machines.
"Julang No. 3 magic energy fishing boat is made of fully mercury-resistant iron. It has a 9,000-horsepower magic energy engine and is equipped with twelve electromagnetic ripple launchers. It can also use thirty-six burst magic energy devices for precise operations. This fishing vessel can dive to a depth of 4,000 meters for deep-sea operations and can fight against the bright ocean beasts below, making it a rare ocean partner for Tariq."
This introduction, this device, this equipment. After seeing the ferocious steel beast in front of him, Zhou Li's eyes were fixed on it without moving. After a long time, he looked at Eluma and asked quietly:
"How much money do we have left?"
"No, this really doesn't work."
Eluma suddenly panicked and grabbed the corners of Zhou Li's clothes with both hands, and quickly tried to dissuade her: "We bought this thing, it's useless!"
"Why didn't it work?!"
Zhou Li clapped his hands and said righteously: "I can use it to satisfy my useless vanity and curiosity!"
"Since you know it's useless, don't be satisfied!"
After making a joke, Zhou Li looked back at the "fishing boat" that could catch monsters from the abyss, and said with emotion: "No wonder Tariq dared to unilaterally sequester the country, he is so confident. This Even if Magnum were to copy the gourd and Tonima was to use the Sharingan himself, he probably wouldn't be able to build a fishing boat of this size."
"Magnum's focus is on professionals, so they don't care much about that."
Eluma, who knew only a little about the situation on the mainland, followed Zhou Li's gaze and looked at the fishing boat with a very cute curious look, "By the way, Zhou Li, what kind of fish does this fishing boat catch? It is equipped with so many weapons." "
"I don't know what this thing usually catches, but I know that if there is a war, it will catch enemy ships."
Zhou Li reluctantly finished looking at the other devices, and then reluctantly said to Eluma: "Let's go, let's look at the next area."
"Wow, this fish looks good too!"
Next door, Izzy changed her position and continued to watch the fish.
The third area of the aquarium is the hotel.
Yes, that's right, it's a hotel.
Of course, although the Tariq people are heroic, they are not lacking in thoughtfulness. They will not open a sashimi restaurant in a fish-viewing building, nor will they cook seafood in the name of catching it and selling it now. The third area of the aquarium is a main hotel, which contains many specialties and marine products, saving tourists the time of buying gifts at the airport.
"Your seafood fried rice, fresh lamb chops with bamboo shoots, whole squid feast, salty fish soup, steamed..."
The waiter pushing the cart was silent for a while. He looked at the long list and gave up reading. Instead, he placed those meals on the dining table in front of Zhou Li and Eluma.
It's awesome. Two people can eat something worth five silver coins (five thousand yuan). It's really awesome.
"We're done playing, it's probably time for dinner."
Zhou Li crossed his arms and swung the chair, "We can eat by ourselves first. After eating, we can pack it with black mist and misfortune and take it back to them. This will save you the trouble of cooking when you go back."
The power of black mist and disaster: *******
"OK."
Eluma picked up a piece of mutton chop, put it into her mouth, and chewed the tender mutton with a look of happiness on her face. She looked at Zhou Li and said with a smile: "Actually, I like cooking very much."
"I love eating."
Zhou Li's serious answer made Eluma laugh. She lightly shrugged her shoulders, her cute and delicate cheeks full of happiness and joy. She cut off a piece of her mutton chop, forked it, and put it in Zhou Li's mouth. Her eyes turned into two crescents, "Then I'll satisfy you."
"The martial arts meet is about half a month away."
Zhou Li looked around at the bustling crowd, tapping the plate with the fork in his hand, and casually said to Eluma: "What do you want? The first place in the martial arts club can choose the reward."
"well?"
Eluma was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What are they?"
"Enchanted jewelry, jewelry, precious necklaces, or some kind of dress made by a craftsman, and a bunch of other things."
Zhou Li had a headache when he thought of the long list of rewards. He didn't know what the psychology of this martial arts was, so he got a bunch of weird rewards. But after all, it was a good thing to bring some gifts to Eluma.
"Hmm... are there any books? The more precious ones."
After Eluma thought for a moment, she said to Zhou Li with a little shyness: "Actually, I secretly bought a lot of jewelry and a lot of clothes, so I want some books, preferably rare ones. .”
Zhou Li was a little bit dumbfounded by Eluma's cute behavior. For some reason, although Eluma likes to dress up others and has bought many clothes for Don Quixote, Torea and others, she has no interest in it herself. Her clothes are often bought casually when she goes out with Zhou Li. Of course, the main reason is that Eluma can be said to be the best in the world in terms of figure and appearance. Even wearing the most ordinary clothes, she is breathtakingly beautiful. .
As for her jewelry, except for some that she brought from the God Realm, the only thing left was the bracelet that Zhou Li gave her. The rest were some "exotic treasures" and "ancient sacred stones" bought at roadside stalls. They were very cheap, but she liked them very much.
"Okay, I'll ask the organizer then."
Zhou Li nodded and agreed. At this time, the radio in the hotel began to remind everyone that there would be a wonderful marine machinery performance soon, which directly aroused Zhou Li's interest. Eluma also discovered this, and smiled and asked Kurogiri to help them pack their meals. Then he stood up, stretched out his hand, and said to Zhou Li in front of him:
"The envoy of God invites the brave man to watch the performance. Will the respected brave man accept my invitation?"
The girl blinked slyly, pursed her lower lip slightly, and smiled.
"certainly."
Zhou Li smiled. He held Eluma's hand, stood up, and walked side by side to the depths of the aquarium with her.
"Red flame red fish! Red flame red fish! So beautiful!!!"
At this time, Izzy was next door, continuing to watch the fish.
