“欢迎你们,远方的客人。”巴斯坐在一张鲸鱼皮做成的高椅上,举着水晶酒杯说道,“你们从哪里来?为什么要到鱼之谷?”
“我们从远方的高山谷来。”智翻译着悠悠的话,说道,“我们那里没有海水,没有鱼,但是却盛产武器。所以如果可以把这里的鱼运到我们那里去卖的话,一定可以卖个好价格。”
“盛产武器?”巴斯眼眉一挑,看了一眼两手空空的悠悠和小灵妖们,怀疑地说道,“你有什么武器?可以拿给我看看。”
“既然是先进武器,怎么可以随便看?”悠悠也学着巴斯,用怀疑的语气问道,“你说这里是鱼之谷,凭什么让我们相信呢?”
“你们真的见过鱼之谷的渔人?”巴斯喝了一口酒问道,“渔人们长什么样子呢?”
“我们当然见过渔人。”悠悠大声说道,“渔人长的样子和你手下的人差不多,但是他们头上都带着斗笠,身上披着坎肩,最特别的是,他们小腿以下都是黑色的,听他们说如果他们的腿一进到水里,就会变透明,鱼是看不到的。”悠悠看到巴斯越听越认真,继续说道,“上次渔人们来的时候,说是很难才从鱼之谷出来的。他带着很多的鱼,非常新鲜,非常好吃。我们很喜欢其中一种金色小鱼,听说吃了这种鱼还可以在水里呼吸,我们那里的水很少,所以也不知道是不是真的。”
“你们还见过飞鱼?”巴斯把酒杯放到了桌子上,表情严肃了起来。
“飞鱼算什么?我们还见过一个头十条尾巴的香鱼,”义骄傲地说道,“还有一条漂亮的人鱼,一哭就会流下珍珠眼泪,我们谷主很喜欢,说要多买几条。”
“什么?你们还见过人鱼?”巴斯惊讶地问道。
“你有人鱼吗?”勇看了一眼巴斯,慢慢说道,“上次渔人想拿人鱼换我们的武器,可是很可惜,那时候我们的武器都卖光了。你如果有人鱼的话,我们可以交换一下。”
“我当然有人鱼。我不仅有人鱼,还有世界上各种奇特的鱼,”巴斯微微一笑,说道,“但是首先,我得先看看你们的武器是不是我想要的。”
“那当然没有问题。”悠悠说道,“但是这里太小了,咱们到院子里看怎么样?”
巴斯点了点头,心里很奇怪。他的水晶宫是整个鱼之谷最大的建筑,没想到这几个奇怪的人竟然嫌小?!
悠悠和小伙伴们来到水晶宫院子外面,到处走走看看,最后来到了一处宽阔的沙滩上。悠悠看了眼这处离海最近的地方,朝仁点了点头。
仁默默念咒,不一会儿就看到仁越来越大,越来越高,最后竟然把宽阔的沙滩全部占满了!
在巴斯和渔人的惊讶声中,悠悠走到仁的壳里,随手拿出了两个“世界上最先进的武器”--两个带着铃铛的婴儿玩具,小心翼翼地递到巴斯面前,紧张兮兮地说道,“千万小心,这个个武器一动就会响,如果响了的话,就麻烦了。”

“Come in and sit down.” Buzz said while sitting on a whale skin chair. He held a crystal cup with wine and asked Yoyo “Where do you come from and why are you coming to Water valley?”
“We come from dead man’s valley.” Zhi randomly blurts out translating Yoyo’s words.“In our land, there is no sea and fish but only advanced weapons. That is why we were wondering if we could trade weapons for fish. You can also sell some fish at our place at a high price because we all have a fortune.”
“Advanced weapons.” Said Buzz in a surprised tone. He suddenly noticed Yoyo’s bare hands and asked suspiciously,“can I see the weapons”
“These weapons are top quality worldwide. It can’t be seen just by asking.” Yoyo said copying Buzz’s book,“By the way how can you prove that this is water valley?”
“You said that you know what fishermen look like huh.” Buzz said.“Tell me what they look like.”
“We obviously know what they look like,” said Yoyo confidently.“They have big vest as shirts. They have a big straw hat and their feet are black which go invisible when it touches’s the sea floor.”Yoyo kept rambling on and on.“The fishermen said that it is hard to get out of the perimeter because this guy blocked of the whole area. Some of the fishermen got a golden fish. That can fly. We heard that if you eat the fish, you can breathe underwater. However, since there isn’t a lot of water at our place, we don’t know for sure if this tale is true or false.”
“You have seen the flying fish. Interesting…” Buzz said.
“PFFFFT flying fish? That is nothing. We have seen a ten headed fish that is stinky.” Yi said showing off.“We have also seen a really beautiful mermaid. Every time the mermaid cries, it drops pearls as the tears. Our Boss likes the tears so we want to buy a lot of them.”
“So you have also seen mermaids.” Buzz said surprised.
“Do you have mermaids?” Yong asked slowly while looking at Buzz.“A long time ago, the fishermen wanted to trade mermaids for our advanced weapons. Unfortunately at that time, we had no weapons to trade with. But now, we have lots. So do you want to trade?”
“Obviously I have mermaids, I have much much more.” Buzz said in a proud voice.“But first, I want to see your so called advanced weapons. Then, I will decide if I want to trade it or not.”
“Of course you can.” Yoyo said in a happy voice.“This place is too small, let’s go to the garden shall we?”
Buzz nodded. But really, he was in reality, just confused. His palace is the biggest monument in water valley yet these people think it is small?
Yoyo and the demons walked into the garden full of sand. They walked to check the perimeter. Yoyo then walked to a patch of sand closest to the sea and nodded at Ren.
Ren started to say a spell. He gradually started to get bigger and taller. He kept growing like this until he covered 40% of the garden.
As Buzz and his fishermen stood in astonishment, Yoyo reached inside Ren’s shell and took out a the baby toy with the bells. Yoyo carefully showed it to Buzz and said in a nervous voice,“please be careful with it. As soon as you shake it, it will let off an ear piercing shriek. When it does that, stay away.”
