Although human beings have been exploring for hundreds of years, until now, the only continents discovered by humans are Chino and Reims, which are often referred to as the western continent and the eastern continent.

There have been many attempts by ocean explorers to explore whether there are new areas further west of the continent of Chino, but after years of attempts, they have found nothing.

And the human power of the Reims continent has not been able to expand to the east coast, because the red iron mountains in the east live mountain dwarves. Stout, short, grumpy mountain dwarves are not hostile to humans, but they will never allow large-scale human expeditions to pass through their homes where they have lived for generations, and then build harbors on the east coast to explore the world. This race, which spends its days dealing with minerals and metals, does not understand why humans are so interested in the dangerous and useless ocean.

Therefore, after a long period of exploration, human beings can only think that there are only two continents in this world, the east and the west, and the ocean between the east and west continents is considered to be the center of the world. For this reason, this sea area is also known as the Central Sea by humans.

And now, in the eastern part of the Central Sea, a passenger ship is carrying the humans of the eastern continent towards the Hawke Empire's Cod Harbor. The ship is an asset of the Hawke Empire, since gaining a foothold on the Eastern Continent. Ralvin the Great began to use this new territory to benefit the Empire, and transportation was one of them.

Ships like this depart every ten days for a round trip, carrying about 1,000 passengers each time, with an average ticket price of 40 gold coins, and after deducting the wages of seafarers and the maintenance costs of ships and harbors, this ocean transportation can provide the Hawk Empire with an income of about 100,000 gold coins per month.

At this time, Regner and his party took this ship to the western continent.

"Wow! it's so pretty!" Iniris patted excitedly. This little girl wore an off-white shorts today, and a pale gold sleeveless vest on her upper body, with her long hair as brilliant as gold and a small white butterfly hairpin, which made the little girl who was already as cute as a rag doll more pure and lovely. A soft shout from Iniris instantly attracted the sideways glances of many people.

"Hey, Ini, happy to be happy, but don't slap me on the head!" exclaimed Regner, who had been looking excited ever since she got on the boat. No, he was picked up from bed by Enilis early this morning, and he was yelling at Regna to accompany her to see the sea.

Regner couldn't toss around, and finally had to get up sleepily to accompany Inilis. Probably inspired by Clayton, Innellis rode on Regner's neck after realizing that she didn't have a wide field of vision. Innellis is now more than one meter and four meters tall, and Regna is not as large as Clayton's body, and that half of the shoulders is not enough for this little girl to sit.

"Hmm...... All right. Innellis grabbed Regner's short black hair again, and then casually asked, "Has Brother Regner ever seen the sea?"

"Of course, what haven't I seen anything about your brother?" Regnar coaxed, but he wouldn't say that he was on the boat as a prisoner!

"Brother Regner is amazing!" Innellis began to pat Regner's head again, "And where are we going this time?"

"You don't even know where you are, so you come with me, aren't you afraid that I'll abduct you to human traffickers?" Regner couldn't help but laugh, Innellis and herself had only known each other for a few months, but this little girl's trust in herself was comparable to the accumulation of feelings for decades. Just because she wanted to go to the west, Innellis followed without hesitation, without even asking where she was going or what she was going to do......

"Brother Regner won't!" Innellis was full of confidence: "Brother is the best for me!"

"I owe you all this......" Regner thought with some heartache, if it weren't for him, Innellis might still be living quietly with his real brother and sister, instead of following him around as a homeless wanderer.

That's why Regner will love Iniris in every way along the way. If you have lost your brother and family because of me, then, I will be your brother and I will be your family.

"It's already noon, are you hungry?" Regner patted Innellis' thin, white calves.

"It's a little bit, I'm going to have tuna bibimbap at noon!" said Iniris.

"No problem!" Regner readily agreed, two days ago when he was separated from Wellles, his teacher also gave him a thousand gold coins of pocket money and a space pocket, now he Uncle Regna is rich in money, what is Iniris eating tuna bibimbap? Even if he eats tuna every day, Regnar can also give her a full tube!

"You go and call the boss and Sister Vera, and we'll go to the restaurant for dinner together!" Regner gently grabbed Innellis by the waist and lifted her off his shoulder.

Looking at the back of Iniris bouncing away, blowing the salty sea breeze of the ocean, Regner was also in a rare mood.

"It turned out to be you. A gruff voice rang out behind Regner.

Regner turned his head, and it was a stocky, middle-aged man, with a beard, and his skin turned reddish-brown from the sun and the sea breeze.

"Are you ......" Regner was stunned, he thought this person was very familiar at first glance, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it.

The middle-aged man laughed, revealing his snow-white and neat teeth: "You haven't seen me for more than two years, so you forgot about me?" It seems that the experience of letting you clean the toilet back then is not profound enough for you!"

Regner's heart jumped, he took a few steps back, and then pointed at the middle-aged man in disbelief and stammered, "You, you, you...... You're Hans?!"

"You've finally remembered!" said Hans, who smiled kindly, the Imperial sailor who had rectified Regna now seemed to be relieved of his petty grievances.

"Ah! you forced me to brush the deck, the toilet, and whip me! I remember it all now!" But Regner was clearly still haunted by the painful experience.

"Hey, you're not much better, are you. Every time I drink, I subconsciously think that there are laxatives in it, you know what a shadow this is?" said Hans angrily.

"This ......" Regner smiled a little awkwardly: "Hey, hey, the grudge of the year was bought and sold." ”

"What's the matter, little Lei, have you met a friend?" the three of Kordak also rushed over.

"Oh, sort of......" Regner really didn't know how to define the relationship between himself and Hans, he turned to Hans and said, "We're going to dinner, let's have a drink?" I promise there will be no laxatives this time!"

Hans was also a cheerful person, and when he saw Regner's invitation, he did not refuse, so he immediately agreed and went to the restaurant with them.

Through conversation, Regner learned that Hans had been shipwrecked half a year after escorting him, and almost all the crew members were killed and wounded, and he himself was saved by a passing merchant ship.

But because of that shipwreck, Hans suffered a heavy physical injury, and since then his strength has been greatly reduced, and now he has retreated to the level of a fifth-level warrior. Hans therefore took a back seat, and came to such a merchant ship as a captain of guard, and today he wandered around the deck with nothing to do, and happened to find Inniris, and then he noticed the boy carrying Inilis, and only felt that the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and finally determined that this tall and thin boy was the little skinny monkey Regner two years ago.

"Hahaha, you can't blame me for the trouble I made to you at that time, it was the captain's order to me. Hans took a sip of beer and said, "And I heard that he did so at the behest of Master Mallorlet, and that in addition to escorting the prisoners, we also had a mission to send you to the eastern continent at the request of Mallorite." ”

"Oh?" Regner was stunned, he didn't expect that old fellow Malorit to pay attention to him more than two years ago.

Hans thought for a moment and then said, "I remember reading your information at that time, you were caught burglarizing from Master Mallolet's mansion, and you were so bold enough to dare to go to the house of the Blademaster of the Wind to steal something. ”

"How the did I know there was a Sanctuary powerhouse living there......" Regner was full of black lines, he had been a little strange about the experience before leaving the Western Continent, and now he understood what was going on after hearing Hans's explanation.

It seems that the Tempest Blademaster had known his teacher Wellles a long time ago, and that burglary must have been the result of Malollet's discovery of her potential as a shadow dancer, so she sent herself to Wellles as a favor. But this old neurotic service really didn't escape his off-line style, even if he sent someone, he had to tell others to toss himself halfway to death......

Hans and Kordak laughed, and then Hans asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

"That's not all, it's just that I've been in the east for a long time, and I want to go back and see. Regner shook his head, he couldn't say that he had come back because a few of his people couldn't stay in the eastern continent anymore. Then he then asked, "I don't think the Empire will have any more wanted warrants for me now, will it?"

"How is that possible?" Hans waved his hand: "You are technically nothing more than an attempted burglary, and if every escaped empire like yours had been wanted, I'm afraid the walls of Melindel would have been plastered with all kinds of wanted notices." ”

"That's good. Regner nodded, and then he remembered something, and then said, "By the way, Uncle Hans, I'll ask you about the place." ”

"Place?" said Hans.

"Semrella Province, Thorn Town. Regner nervously said, "Do you know this place?"

Hans laughed after hearing this: "Haha, what a coincidence, I was originally from the province of Semrela, and although the town of Thorn is a little remote, it is not too far from my hometown, where are you going?"

"Yes. Regner nodded.

"What are you doing there?" asked Hans, a little strangely.

"Just find someone. Regna said, "Then Uncle Hans can you help me draw a route out, with a guide, I think it will be easier for me to hurry." ”

Hans waved his hand very boldly: "What other maps, I'll take you there." Anyway, I can take a month's vacation after this sea trip, and I'm about to go back to have a look, so I'll just go along the way. ”

"Thank you so much. Regner hurriedly rejoiced, and then raised his glass to Hans again.

......

The last time he passed from the Western Continent, it took Regna more than ten days, and the time of this return must be not much different. But he couldn't let go of his worries about Erin and his thoughts about Anne Lot, and Regner has always seemed a little anxious these days. Fortunately, with Innellis on the side to enlighten him, and Hans came to him from time to time to drink and chat, these long ten days were finally consumed by Regner little by little.

When Regner stepped on the Western Continent with one foot again, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This is not only because he will find the two most important people in his life here, but also because a new journey, a new adventure, is about to unfold in this familiar and strange land.
