Zhao Hai stood at the bow of the ship. It was a three-masted wooden ship that looked a little old. The sailors on board were not young either. However, Zhao Hai was not worried about this ship because the people on board did their work at a leisurely pace. Everyone was busy with their own work. Not only did they not disturb each other, they even had time to chat and joke. One look and one could tell that they were experienced sailors. This was also why Zhao Hai was not worried.
Although the rooms on this ship weren't very good, they weren't bad either. There were beds, tables, and chairs. Other than that, there wasn't much else, but it was already very good.
Zhao Hai had been on the ship for three days. They had left the Inland Sea of the ice ocean continent and were now traveling on the vast ocean. Zhao Hai had seen the scenery of this plane countless times in the past, but he still liked to see it again.
At this moment, Zhao Hai suddenly heard a man walking behind him. The man reeked of alcohol. Zhao Hai immediately knew that it was the captain.
The man on the boat was in his fifties and looked very strong. He was also an ice soul user, but he was very fond of drinking and always had a trace of alcohol smell on him.
Zhao Hai then heard a deep voice, " "Mr. Zhao, why are you enjoying the sea breeze here? Are you not satisfied with the room?"
Zhao Hai turned to the captain and smiled. &Quot; &Quot; Captain long, the room is not bad. I'm very satisfied with it. I'm just out for a walk. I can't always stay in the room. It's so boring. &Quot;
Captain Dragon laughed heartily. &Quot; that's right, that's right. You can't always stay in the room. It's too boring. However, the sea is like this. Other than doing work every day, the rest of the time is boring. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled as he looked at the sea and said in a deep voice, &Quot; I heard that the sea isn't very safe, and there will be sea beasts attacking ships at any time. Is that true? "
Captain long nodded and said, " "It's true. Sea beasts like to attack ships, but they're not stupid at all. They know what they're doing. We don't take the route we took, but we know almost all of the powerful sea beasts here. We just need to give them some gifts and we can pass through smoothly. They won't attack us with all their might, because if they kill us, they won't get anything. However, if they don't attack us with all their might, we'll bring them some gifts every time. That way, they'll be able to keep getting benefits."
When Zhao Hai heard Captain Dragon's words, he was stunned. Then, he asked in confusion, " "There's such a thing? Is this for real?"
Captain long laughed and said, " of course it's true. But to be honest, these sea beasts all have different preferences. Other than experienced navigators, ordinary people don't know what they like. If you're not satisfied with the gift, those sea beasts will still attack you. I, blind long, spent decades to find out what gift I should give to that sea beast. &Quot;
Zhao Hai looked at Captain long and asked in confusion, " &Quot; Captain Dragon, you have such sharp eyes and ears. You don't look like you have any eye problems. How did you get such a bad name? "
Captain Dragon laughed out loud. &Quot; you don't know? when I was young, I was shot in the forehead by an ice arrow from a pirate. My shield was broken and my forehead was covered in blood. The blood also blocked my eyes. People thought I was blind. From then on, I was nicknamed the blind Dragon. &Quot;
"Are there a lot of Pirates here?" Zhao Hai chuckled.
Captain Dragon shook his head and said, " &Quot; not many. Actually, sea beasts and Pirates aren't the scariest on the sea. As long as you give the right gift, they won't touch you. Sometimes, even if you don't give them a gift, they won't touch you. When they want a gift, they'll stop you. When they stop you, you must give it. If you don't give it, they'll turn against you. So sea beasts aren't very scary. It's the same for Pirates. Every pirate has their own territory. As long as we hand over our Tributes, they won't touch us. If we have any difficulties, they will even help us. After all, we all make a living on the sea, no one has it easy. We hate slave-catching ships the most."
"Slave-catching ship?" Zhao Hai looked at Captain long in confusion. &Quot; "The slave-capturing ships have nothing to do with you, right? Why do you hate them?"
"How could it not have anything to do with us?" Captain Dragon snorted. Whether it was Pirates or sea beasts, there were actually rules, but the slave-hunting ships had no rules at all. They were like pests on the sea. Not only did they go to the miscellaneous spirit continent to capture people as slaves, but they were also the most abominable Pirates on the sea. As long as you gave them money, they would not make things difficult for you. However, these slave-hunting ships had no such thoughts at all. You didn't know when they would appear, so you couldn't even buy them a way with money, because you couldn't find them. When you find them, they will not be far away from you. The people on the slave-capturing ship are all desperadoes. Once they see your ship, they will immediately pounce on you. At that time, you will have to fight even if you don't want to. If you can beat them down, you will be able to keep your ship. If you can't, your ship will be theirs, and your people will become the meat of the sea beasts. Because we, the ice Soul Warriors, will never be sold as slaves. It's also because of this that no one likes to encounter slave-capturing ships on the sea, unless it's those big passenger ships. The people of the slave-capturing ships don't dare to touch those big passenger ships, because those big passenger ships all have powerful backgrounds, and the people on the big passenger ships are all people of high status, so the slave-capturing ships don't dare to touch them."
Zhao Hai nodded when he heard Captain Dragon's words. &Quot; "So that's how it is. I really didn't know that the slave-capturing ships would do such a thing. Didn't they say that many of those slave-capturing ships belong to those big families? They should know the rules, right? Why are they still attacking you?"
Captain Dragon snorted coldly. &Quot; even the slave-capturing ships of those big families don't follow the rules. They kill the people on the ship and take the things on the ship. Then the ship sinks directly into the sea. Who knows that they did it? those guys are even fiercer than Pirates, so every time we encounter a slave-capturing ship, we will have casualties, and the casualties are great. Every year, about five layers of ships are destroyed in the wind and waves, and about one layer is destroyed by sea beasts. One of them was destroyed by the Pirates, and the remaining three were almost all destroyed by the slave-capturing ships."
&Quot; I see, " Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; then these slave-capturing ships are really detestable. &Quot;
Captain Dragon said, " &Quot; isn't that so? in fact, the biggest threat to us is the slave-capturing ships because we've been living on the sea for many years. We know when there are waves and waves. We avoid them if we can, and we can survive if we can't. It's rare for a ship to be destroyed. Pirates always deal with us and have a good relationship with us. They won't touch us. The same goes for the sea beasts. Sometimes, the sea beasts even help us. They just want something. If you give them something, they will treat you as a friend, so they won't attack you. In this way, the biggest threat to us on the sea is the slave-catching ships."
"Is there no one in charge of this?" Zhao Hai nodded.
Captain Dragon shook his head and sighed. &Quot; &Quot; no one cares. There was a conflict between the ice ocean continent and the heavy earth continent a few years ago. The navies of both sides had a big battle on the sea. Later, they agreed that neither side's warships were allowed to enter the ocean more than 10000 miles away. If either side violated the agreement, the war would start. In this way, the sea is a lawless world. Besides, even if those warships can come out, so what? we can't be protected by them all the time. Even if we have a warship to protect us, those slave-capturing ships won't attack us, so they are legal existences. The warship can't do anything to them."
Zhao Hai didn't know what to say. He didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns. However, it was nothing to Zhao Hai. When his Army arrived, the slave-capturing ships would disappear soon.
Captain Dragon looked at the sea and sighed. &Quot; &Quot; I got on a boat when I was 12 years old. I worked on a boat for 20 years before I slowly got my own boat. It took me another 10 years to turn the small boat into a big one. Now, this boat has been with me for seven years. I'm getting old and can't run anymore. From now on, I'll leave this boat to my son. No matter what, it's a bowl of rice. But my son still doesn't want to get on a boat. He's already in his 20s and he's staying at home every day. I really don't know what will happen to him in the future. &Quot;
"Captain long, you've been out at sea for so many years. Your family should have some assets by now, right?" Zhao Hai laughed. If your child doesn't want to run the boat, then don't. It's not a big deal."
Captain long shook his head. &Quot; my family does have some businesses, but it's just two shops and two fish farms. Our Foundation is still on the sea. Without this ship, what are the shops selling? He could only sell fish. There were more fish shops in the ice ocean continent than there were people. What profit could he make by selling fish? If you don't sell fish, you can only buy from other ships. Your price is too high. Besides, you may not be able to get the goods in. How many ships don't have their own shops? what can you do if you just guard the fish farm? sigh!"
It was obvious that Captain long was very unhappy with his son, but there was nothing he could do. Zhao Hai looked at Captain long and said, " &Quot; actually, Captain Dragon doesn't have to worry. It's not bad to have a fish farm. Besides, if you really can't run this ship anymore, he can take over. &Quot;
Captain long sighed and did not say anything. He did not know how to tell Zhao Hai. With his son's personality, he might really not take over.
Zhao Hai did not know what to say when he saw Captain Long's expression. At that moment, Zhao Hai suddenly noticed that the sea not far ahead of the ship started to roll. Then, a black back appeared on the sea! (To be continued.) &Quot; if you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
