Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Royal Beast 3
And human beings have obviously discovered this phenomenon, so the people who used to be "eight immortals crossing the sea and showing their magical powers" to win the blue eyes of the monsters gradually developed the annual "beast ceremony".
This "Imperial Beast Ceremony" is the ceremony that Mu Li heard when he was beaten before.
On this day, the monsters that need to find a partner will come ashore one after another and come to the special square.
And the children between the ages of 15 and 17 have been waiting here for a long time, showing off their well-developed muscles, while waiting anxiously for the monsters passing by to make a choice.
Some of the children will be valued by the monsters, and after the two parties agree, the sea beasts will take them back to their territory to perform the "beast ceremony" and sign the "equal treaty".
The selected children will be different in life and have the qualifications to move towards the strong.
And the children who are not selected can only go home and practice hard, waiting for the "Royal Beast Ceremony" in the coming year.
If you have participated in the "Beast Ceremony" three times in a row, but you are still not selected by Warcraft, then it means that the child is disgusted by Warcraft, and has lost the opportunity to sign a contract with Warcraft and grow together.
These children can only honestly find a job in order to support their families, and then put their expectations on the next generation.
Since most of the sea beasts actually believe in their own hard work, only a small number of sea beasts will seek help from humans when they encounter a bottleneck in their strength, and these sea beasts often have high requirements for their partners.
Therefore, every year, there are only a few children who can be selected, and there are only ten out of a hundred.
Therefore, in fact, most people can only stay on the island where they were born in their lives, doing nothing and walking through the past few decades in obscurity.
Only a very few people can step out of their homes and find a vast world.
As for those who are extremely lucky, and extremely powerful, who can make a contract with the most powerful sea beasts, and thus become powerful, and even be able to rule a world, that is even rarer.
Ahem, back to Mu Li.
The original owner of Mu Li's mission this time is named Chang Sheng, who is 15 years old and is a fool
It is said that Chang Sheng is not from this island.
It was a stormy night fourteen years ago, and the sea was rough and the waves roared to swallow the world.
An old fisherman finally managed to bring his boat to the shore smoothly from the storm, ripped off his few "prey", and just wanted to go home to warm up, but saw a basket on the beach on the shore that was pushed ashore by the strong wind.
The old fisherman approached the basket curiously, only to find that it was a baby inside!
The old fisherman wondered why the baby was here, why he was safe in the storm, and why he slept so soundly in this environment.
But no matter how strange the old fisherman was, he still brought the baby back, and he couldn't bear to see such a child die alone in the storm.
From then on, the baby became the child of this single old fisherman.
The old fisherman's surname is Chang, and there is a jade plaque in the basket containing the baby, which reads "Sheng", so the baby has its own name: Chang Sheng.
The old fisherman couldn't find a wife when he was young, and when he was old, he could only live a lonely life, but he didn't expect to meet a child at this time, so he regarded Chang Sheng as his own son.
Although the old fisherman does not have a contract of Warcraft, he can make a living by fishing every day, but he can also maintain the food and clothing of the two of them.
He can even spare some seafood to sell, save a little money for Chang Sheng to boil up and keep his body up, hoping that Chang Sheng will be lucky enough to make a contract with Warcraft in the future.
It's just that this constant victory is too indisputable, although the fish and meat continue every day, but the body is still weak.
What's more, it's his mind. When he was ten years old, he was still as stupid as a five-year-old.
When other people's children are ten years old, they are already able to help work to subsidize the family, which is often better than when they are ten years old, not only can they not help the old fishermen kill fish, but also often inadvertently cause trouble to the old fishermen.
The old fisherman also saw that this Chang Sheng was not only a special physique, but also a natural fool, and it was difficult to expect him to be able to make a difference!
However, the old fisherman is soft-hearted, after all, he is a child raised by himself, and his ten-year relationship is not covered. And his old bones can still move, and he feeds Chang Sheng, so he goes by Chang Sheng.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
When Chang Sheng was 12 years old, the old fisherman ventured deep into the territory of a sea beast that dominated one side in order to add food to Chang Sheng and replenish his body, hoping to find some "sea cucumbers".
Unexpectedly, the sea beast, which would go out to patrol at a fixed time every day, returned to his territory early that day and met an old fisherman who wanted to pick "sea cucumbers".
This "sea cucumber" is also a strange thing, which can improve the physique of people and sea beasts.
Due to its special effects and the difficulty of obtaining it, the price of "sea cucumber" on land can be described as hard to find.
Naturally, there has never been such a strange thing as "sea cucumber" on this small island, and the old fishermen also overheard the discussion between the beast powerhouses who passed by on the outer islands, and only then did they know that there was such a thing here not far from the island.
Thinking of Chang Sheng's weak physique and his clear eyes, the old fisherman stomped his feet and decided to "steal" a "sea cucumber" back.
But I didn't expect that this time, I would never come back.
After the old fisherman left, Chang Sheng suddenly lost his source of livelihood.
Originally, a fool, what can you let him do to support himself?
Within a few days, the fish left by the old fishermen had been eaten.
Fortunately, the old fisherman may have expected it before going to sea, and entrusted Changsheng to his neighbors, the little girl and her widowed mother's family, and entrusted them with his savings for many years.
The mother and daughter are also kind-hearted people, and after the old fisherman died in the sea, they took over the task of taking care of Chang Sheng, but they did not let Chang Sheng starve to death.
After the old fisherman disappeared, Chang Sheng seemed to be more sensible overnight, and began to help with some of the physical work that was difficult for the mother and daughter, and the three of them got along quite happily for a while.
If life goes on like this, Chang Sheng will live a very nourishing life.
Although according to his state, it must be hopeless to sign a contract with Warcraft, but as an ordinary person, he can live a lifetime, maybe he can marry a little girl as a wife, which is also good!
