It has been three years since the last tsunami.
Although three years have passed, there are still many people living by the sea who still remember the scene that day.
There was obviously no wind on the sea, and the incredible huge waves were definitely not formed naturally.
Kamikaze merchants who suffered heavy losses reported this incident one after another, and the official Kamikaze Empire had to send experts to investigate because everyone said that there was a terrifying sea beast making trouble.
The results came out soon.
The reason why there were such big waves was because a sea giant died.
Sea giants are powerful wavemakers, and their death usually triggers huge tsunamis.
But sea giants have extremely long lifespans.
If they die, their power will gradually weaken and they will not cause such a large tsunami.
The current situation can only explain one reason.
A sea giant in the prime of life died, and he died with his eyes closed.
He died extremely unwillingly.
All his power was released, which caused such heavy losses.
After hearing this explanation, the businessmen who had lost a lot of money had nothing to say.
What they feared most when going to sea was to encounter sea giants.
Even sea giants in their prime were easily killed, and it only took a matter of minutes to kill them.
Do you still dare to seek compensation from others?
You can only grit your teeth and swallow this breath.
But no one knows that there are so many stories behind the death of this sea giant, as well as the life of another magical beast.
Fishing Net City, this is the southernmost city in the Kamikaze Empire.
Three years ago it was a city mainly based on fishing.
Residents have made a living from fishing for generations.
It is a self-sufficient small city, so it has this name.
In the tsunami two years ago, Fishing Net City bore the brunt.
The entire city was swallowed up by the sea water, causing extremely heavy losses.
Fortunately, everyone is a fisherman, and everyone has good water skills, so the number of deaths is not many.
Three years later, Fishing Net City not only did not decline, but showed an abnormal prosperity.
The sea area south of the Kamikaze Empire has a warm climate and much richer products than the sea area to the north.
But because of the fishmen, sea giants and wild naga, the Kamikaze Empire has been unable to successfully seize the resources, which makes them very troubled.
What no one expected was that after the tsunami, the three hazards in the South China Sea were inexplicably greatly reduced.
As for the reason, there are different opinions.
Some people said that they died because of the tsunami.
Of course, this was scorned by everyone.
Have you ever seen fish drowned?
Even if you die, others will not die.
Some people also said that the Kamikaze Empire sent out masters to secretly encircle and suppress them.
Even the Kamikaze Empire itself did not believe this.
If they hid in the ocean, they would not be able to catch them unless the strong men of the sky took action.
How could the strong men of the sky have free time to come and play with the murlocs?
Besides, there are also experts among the murlocs and wild naga, so this doesn't make sense.
The last theory is more reliable.
Some people saw a large number of mermaids and Nagas coming from further south, seemingly looking for something.
Along the way, the fish and wild Nagas started a fierce race annihilation war.
Although I don’t know what the mermaids and Nagas are doing, mermaids and fishmen, Nagas and wild Nagas are basically natural enemies.
It is normal to deal with them by the way.

There is also a big gap in strength, so this This theory is the most credible.
It is said that the Kamikaze Empire once sent people to contact the joint forces of mermaids and Nagas, hoping to test their purpose and let them eliminate as many fishmen and wild Nagas as possible, but all failed. .
The mermaid and Naga were very angry and extremely distrustful of human beings, and they were ready to fall out immediately if they kept talking for a while.
But no matter what the reason was, the fishermen in Fishing Net City have become treasure hunters in the past three years.
Later, many capable people joined in, and a large number of pearls, gems and treasures from the seabed were unearthed and all sent to Go to Fishing Net City to trade.
In just three years, Fishnet City has grown to an incredible height.
On this day, Fishing Net City's semi-annual treasure auction was held in the city's newly built Crystal Hall, where powerful forces and nobles from all over the mainland gathered together.
The Crystal Hall was just established a year ago.
The Kamikaze Empire directly funded its construction, ensuring its absolute safety and reliability.
After all, no one dares to directly oppose an empire.
The items auctioned in the Crystal Hall are not just treasures produced in the South China Sea.
As long as you think the treasure is valuable, you can take it to the Crystal Hall for evaluation.
If the evaluator thinks it is valuable, you can auction it.
The auctioneer was still frothing on the stage while introducing the items on the stand.
In the aristocratic private room on the second floor of the hall, a girl with black hair and black eyes yawned out of boredom, looking uninterested.
"What's wrong, Miss?
Are you bored?"
asked a beautiful young woman with black hair next to the black-haired girl.
Although she was sitting next to the girl, her upper body was slightly bent, her leg muscles were tightened, and her eyes were looking at the girl's ears but she was slightly Looking out, one can tell that she is alert to the surrounding situation.
She should be the black-haired girl's bodyguard.
"Aunt Bai, are you tired?
I feel uncomfortable just looking at you.
Relax, relax.
Even if someone wants to kidnap me, they won't do it here, unless the Kamikaze Empire is trying to distract me."
The girl yawned again, fanned the turbid breath with her little hand, lay on one side on the large and soft seat, and nestled into Aunt Bai's arms, as if she wanted to take a nap.
"Oh, Miss, you were in high spirits when you came here.
Why are you so lazy the next day?
It's hard to get out, but you have to have fun.
You have to set off again in a few days.
Can you go out next year?
Maybe she can't come out."
Aunt Bai's attitude towards the girl is very doting, rather than a subordinate's respect for the master.
Auntie, you don’t know.
When I first came here the year before last, although the auction items looked shabby, they were all very valuable.
It is said that many powerful people live in seclusion in the South China Sea, and their relics can often be seen at auctions.
Those are truly valuable things.
But this year's treasures are really unsatisfactory, look at this."
The black-haired girl weakly stretched out a slender index finger and pointed at the exaggerated auctioneer on the stage and the items he was introducing.
"Hey, the fist-sized black pearl can still see the starry sky inside, and it contains the secret of entering the realm of stars.
It's such an exaggeration, but it's actually just a larger pearl with a little luminous substance in it.
I I can’t imagine what this thing can do other than crush it and apply it on your face.”
Aunt Bai shook her head helplessly.
Her little master was different from ordinary girls.
She had no interest in those shiny and bright substances.
No one could figure out what she liked.

Miss Qi has had the special ability to see through the essence of things since she was born.
She can see through the functions of the things on display at a glance.
She is simply an accurate treasure appraisal machine.
Because of this, the forces that knew this secret wanted to kidnap the black-haired girl to identify the treasure for themselves.
Auntie, I heard that fishmen have appeared in the South China Sea recently, so good things are becoming less and less."
The black-haired girl curled her hair with her fingers in boredom and asked suddenly.
"Indeed."
Aunt Bai replied while thinking, "Three years have passed since the last tsunami.
If it was really the mermaids and Nagas who killed a large number of fishmen, they would not come every year.
The reproductive capacity of the fishmen is extremely strong.
In terms of time, in two or three years, the number will almost be restored to the previous level.
I am afraid that by then, this fishing net city will not be able to catch treasures, and it will really only be able to catch fish. ”
A fun place has been lost.
"The girl seemed to be sulking, mumbling for a while, yawned again, turned over and seemed to really want to sleep.
But at this moment, the auctioneer finally sold the large black pearl, and the price was not bad.
Of course the auctioneer himself knew that it was actually just an ordinary black pearl.
As for the star field, he was just making up nonsense.
After all, this was what he relied on for a living and this was what he learned.
My mother's business has become increasingly difficult recently.
The year before last, any one I took out was a treasure, but now it's just a rare thing.
I really want to know if that idiot who bought it just now will actually study the method of entering the realm of stars.
The auctioneer felt a little guilty.
He patted his face in the background, put on a professional smile, opened the curtain and walked out.
He said in a high-pitched and excited voice: "Everyone, everyone, please look carefully, what is going to be auctioned next."
Something that has never appeared before.
According to our appraiser's inspection, it was only three years old.
I don’t need to introduce what three years means.
Yes, it was the huge tsunami.
Thank God, if it weren't for it, now we would have to put the fish up for auction. " The auctioneer told a little joke to lighten up the atmosphere of the auction.
The tsunami was still fresh in everyone's memory.
When the auctioneer said this, even the black-haired girl sat up and opened her eyes wide, wanting to see what it was, and it was actually related to the tsunami three years ago.
Could it be the body of the sea giant?
That is really worth taking a look.
No one who has seen the true face of the sea giant in Lushan has yet appeared.
The auctioneer saw that the effect was good, and he snapped his fingers at the backstage.
The sound of creaking wheels came.
Four staff members pushed a four-wheeled cart made of crystal onto the stage.
There was a huge boulder on the cart.
The unknown object was covered with an iron cage and covered with black cloth.
As soon as this thing came out, the nobles talked a lot.
At first, everyone was wondering if the people in the Crystal Hall were too stingy and didn't even have a better cart.
Listening to the creaking sound, everyone's appetite was gone.
But as soon as the crystal cart came out, everyone realized that it was not that they were stingy, but that they were too rich.
He made a cart out of crystals and made it look so ugly.
Did he go crazy?

Before everyone could see what was inside, the auctioneer dropped another bombshell: "Haha, this auction item is a bit special.
In addition to the contents inside, I can tell you clearly that these two crystal carts and The crystal cage above is also packaged and auctioned together.”
"What?"
Everyone was in an uproar.
We are rich and good, but we are not stupid.
To buy you an unknown object, you also need to add a crystal car and a cage.
If you make it more beautiful, we'll forget about it.
Why should we buy your ugly crystal cart back?
If it were a small businessman or hawker, there might have been some scolding on the spot.
But those who are doing it are people with status or think they have status, so they won’t scold them on the spot.
Everyone thought silently in their hearts: "Treat us to be idiots.
We will offer one gold coin soon without increasing the price.
Let's see who cheats whose father."
The auctioneer seemed to have anticipated this problem a long time ago, and was not anxious at all.
Instead, he said confidently: "Don't get me wrong, the reason why this crystal cart and the cage are packaged and auctioned together is really for everyone's sake.
If Without them, I don’t think we would be able to get this thing back.”
After talking mysteriously for a long time, the auctioneer saw that everyone's expressions calmed down again and said no more.
But the auctioneer did not lift the black cloth.
Instead, he took a short crystal stick and poked it inside the black cloth.
The black cloth made of soft silk immediately began to burn violently, turning into a pile of black ash in a few breaths.
Inside the crystal cage is a huge flame crystal
