Chapter 45: Gale!
When the young man with the harpoon said that he wanted to go to sea to make a name for himself, the small village was filled with heartfelt laughter. Parents are laughing, friends are laughing, mercilessly laughing at young people who don't know the height of the sky.
The young man smiled and laughed at all the ridicule, and looked at the ugly chart he had drawn in his hand with sparkling eyes.
When the next day, there was one less fishing boat and one less person in the village, everyone knew that the fool who knew the height of the sky had really gone to sea.
The confident teenager almost unbelievably crosses the dangerous and strange sea and arrives in a big city completely different from the countryside. It is advanced, civilized, and orderly, and under the management of the government, people serve all kinds of legal services and all kinds of work.
The diminutive boy stood on a wooden crate and said aloud.
"Come with me on an adventure!"
The people on the street were startled by the sudden scream, and then reacted, and even louder laughter surrounded the smiling boy.
Going on an adventure together?
What is this fool talking about?
"Go on an adventure! There are so many small islands in the world that have not been set foot on by people! Let's go on a treasure hunt! ”
No matter how reserved passers-by are, they can't help but laugh, where did this living treasure come from? Some trance-like passers-by feel like they have seen themselves when they were children, always want to go out and have a look, always feel that they can find the treasure left by their predecessors, and use that treasure to buy the most delicious food, the most delicious vegetables, the world seems to be always full of strange adventures waiting for them, I can't do it.
After a while, I thought that the work in my factory had not been completed, the salary had not yet arrived, and there was still no hope for the gift I had promised my wife, and I had to give gifts if I asked someone else to find a job for my children. The time-pressed passers-by instantly thought of the mountain of debts that were weighing on them to pay off, and they didn't waste any more time paying attention to the fool.
Living in this world, in less than a hundred years, there are still so many debts to be repaid, where is the time to daydream like this fool.
The young man shouted for a week, and had become a well-known laughing stock in the city, and finally a thug who couldn't bear it beat up the eye-catching guy with his hands.
Since then, the laughing stock has not been seen again.
Occasionally, people who think of this laughing stock, somewhat lonely looking out the window more and more beautiful city, the city is getting better and better, want to continue to live here, the rent must be higher and higher, in order to go to sea to see the world, to see how big the world is, many people are forced to take root by the dangers and hardships of the sea, and all kinds of life are forced to take root. In this increasingly beautiful city, they began to make money to support themselves, and they were taken away by the more and more fresh hedonistic means in the city.
Once experienced the kind of rich entertainment that is impossible in a lifetime in a rural town, I will always remember that in this big city where every inch of land is valuable, working as a cow and a horse earns a humble salary. It was quickly left penniless by the skyrocketing price set.
Many people have forgotten their original intention when they went to sea, they want to see the magnificent scenery, they want to create a famous name, they want an unforgettable love, or a legendary life experience. But when the immature dream is washed away by the sea of reality and only a body of mud and sand remains, people begin to do the work they don't want to do at all, numbly spending this day after day.
Therefore, when that fool appeared, everyone cursed him in their hearts! Cursed that he would become the same life as them, cursed that he would never dream of escaping from the mud and sand of reality! You stupid people who can't see reality clearly end up with only a dead end! Maybe one day at the corner of the street, you can see you begging there with a broken bowl!
When the wounded young man left the attractive city, four or five thugs were admitted to the hospital at the same time.
When he bought a swordsman who was about to starve to death with a rice ball, he began to tirelessly tell the swordsman to see how vast the world was. The swordsman with very poor skills insisted on his noble and cold setting, and always put on the demeanor of a master, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, but in fact he didn't listen to anything in a daze.
The smiling young man took the noble and cold scrapwood swordsman and began their adventure.
When they encountered a thief stealing a bag in a new city, the noble and cold swordsman squinted at it, and when he saw the beautiful noblewoman, he sneered and stopped the illegal act with righteous words. It never occurred to him that the noble lady didn't even look at the ragged swordsman, and his fragile glass heart was shattered one by one.
The end of the meddling was that they were chased by twenty men sent by the manager behind the thief all the way from this side of the island to the other. In the end, he broke the straight nose bridge of the swordsman, knocked out one of the front teeth of the honest boy, and beat the two into pigs' heads before stopping. When the honest young man smiled heartlessly and broke the swordsman, the latter was so sad and angry that he wanted to stab him to death with a sword.
In the days that followed, the boy spent all the coils he had stolen from his home, and the two of them starved and began to do odd jobs in the city. The noble and glamorous swordsman slowly lured the stupid boy, and after defrauding his few money bags, he was ready to find a time to slip away, and teach the stupid boy a lesson by the way. He originally planned to take advantage of the simple young man's sleep, draw his fingers, and sell this stupid boy to a slave trading house, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and gave up this tempting idea, and regarded it as returning the kindness of the rice ball.
As night fell, eating the cheapest ramen, the brothers and sisters of the coolies after a day of hard work put their arms around their shoulders and prepared to go back to the cheap kennel. The swordsman was silently thinking about his thoughts, preparing to slip out of the city tonight. In the alley that must be passed back to the kennel, I unexpectedly saw a scene that I shouldn't have seen.
The acquaintances, the same group that had beaten them up not long ago, were surrounding a woman whose face she couldn't see clearly in the night, obviously arguing over something. The swordsman who touched the bridge of his nose was about to bypass the right and wrong place, but a gust of wind suddenly hung around him, and the silly boy rushed into the crowd like a wind and stood in front of the woman.
"Grandpa said that a man should not bully a woman."
The swordsman couldn't bear to look directly and covered his eyes with his hands, this kid is really stupid. The clever swordsman carefully hid to the side, watching the stupid boy surrounded by seven or eight people, knocked to the ground again and again, and stubbornly protecting the woman again and again. The swordsman sighed helplessly, it seems that he can't leave tonight, so he has to take that stupid boy back to the house, otherwise he will be so scarred and put it all night, and he will ensure that the game is over.
Suddenly, the swordsman's eyes widened as he looked at one of the thugs, and with an impatient look on his face, he took out the short knife that was shining in the moonlight.
The man moved his mouth and said to give you one last chance, get out of the way.
The stupid boy didn't reply, just showed a silly smile, the gangsters thought that this fool was mocking himself, but the swordsman knew that the smile was for himself, as if to say- [Take care]?
When the blade stabbed at the young man who would rather die than retreat, the swordsman roared behind the group, diverting their attention to himself, and with the courage of the roar, the sword in the swordsman's hand, which had only slaughtered the belly of a small animal, slashed a human for the first time.
The swordsman, who was splashed with blood, took advantage of the panic and gasped to cut the three of them down in a pool of blood, and the others fled in horror. The bruised boy leaned against the wall beside him with the woman's support, and smiled at the panting swordsman as if to say, "I knew you were coming."
When the courage that had been raised in one fell swoop was exhausted, and then the declining swordsman leaned against the wall on the other side with his hands and feet cold, trying to stabilize the sudden dizziness and the nausea of killing for the first time. He smiled wryly and looked at the bright red colors on his hands, thinking to himself what this is called.
The rich woman, who obviously didn't want to have anything to do with human life, still had a conscience and gave them a lot of thanks. With this money, they escaped from the island overnight.
I don't know when that silly boy has more and more partners around him. There are homeless bounty hunters who are abducted into the team, canaries who are imprisoned in cages who are foolishly fooled out of the mansion, and giants who have lost their way home are turned into the most powerful and reliable companions by him. The swordsman looked back at the way he had come, and suddenly realized that this kid was not stupid, and he had almost kidnapped and deceived their group of people at the smallest cost.
When they galloped above the sea and fought the pirates, the young man who could only giggle and never fight, did not hide or run, and stood with them forever. When the enemy watched in disbelief as the group of crazy guys fought with their lives, the captain of the pirate ship finally knelt in front of the young man unwillingly, waiting to die.
The young leader, who stood in front of the captive, smiled and said to him, "I don't want your life, I have to walk further."
The pirate captain looked at the young man in a daze, and subconsciously asked--What do you want?
The young leader opened his arms as if he were about to embrace the world - and that's ...... Unknown adventure!
"My goal is the end of the world! My journey is the Great Voyage! I want to see the world with my own eyes, and I want to leave my footprints on the sands of Ralphdrew! ”
The captain was half surprised, half looked like an idiot, and didn't believe it at all. He didn't believe that there was such a person in this world who didn't act for fame and fortune at all, and even so, there was absolutely no possibility of letting the enemy live, how could there be such a stupid and good person in this world who didn't hold grudges? But when the young leader really didn't kill the captives, but only took half of the treasure and a little food, the captain watched his back go away, and he finally understood.
The young man's words were true.
He's just going in that direction and sweeping away those who stand in his way. What did the guys who had abandoned all the glory and wealth for this reason alone, and who had left their homes with him, think?
How miserable it is to fight for such a stupid reason, and even to lose.
The thing that was the belief of the pirates was shattered, and the crew sat on the deck in a daze, and the captain, who was still kneeling there, thought as he looked at the sailing ship that was going farther and farther away.
What can you see behind that island?
What can you see on the other side of the sky?
Exploring the unknown world, isn't this the dream that all men had when they were young?
has been accustomed to licking blood from the knife edge, what did he go to sea for, and why he became a pirate, these Chen Guzi rotten sesame past have long been forgotten! Anesthetized between killing and alcohol, ah, how ugly.
When the captain stood up, he attracted the attention of all the sailors.
Ah, wait, wait for me!
Can I still do it? Am I still qualified to pursue it, the dream I dreamed of when I was young!
At some point, the little sailboat began to gather a fleet of famous ships, they are no longer pirates, they are no longer walking corpses, they are just former teenagers, once again picking up the weapons in their hands, chasing their eternal dreams!
In this way, this huge force, which can already be called an army, suddenly rose from the northern elevation, and continued to win and advance on the way forward! In the end, it has become a powerful force that cannot be ignored by the world government! The chieftain, who was no longer young, confronted the emissary of the government, who offered a very rich reward, and the only request was for him to stop their march and disband the army.
The once smiling young man had become a steady leader, and in the face of the generous treatment comparable to that of the king of a country, he smiled, and did not say anything, but asked the messenger to leave.
The leader who has never treated himself as a pirate, but because he galloped on the sea and was not disciplined by the government, he was named a pirate.
The world began to call him that—the Emperor of the Pirates.
When the warships of the navy arrived as scheduled, and the combat power of the entire North Sea and the combat power of the headquarters that had crossed the sea from the great voyage stood in front of this group of people, the steady leader drew the golden broadsword that he had picked up from the treasure trove and shouted.
"Ravage!"
In order to protect the innocent from the invasion of pirates, in order for the children to grow up healthily, the old people can spend their old age in peace, the young people can show their ambitions, and the beautiful women can stay with their beloved. For the sake of all the truth, goodness and beauty in this world, the navy stood under the banner of justice without hesitation and fought for protection!
It is precisely with these beliefs that they have exerted their strength that is far superior to those pirates who only know how to kill!
The brave navy gambled on the majesty and honor of the soldiers, and launched an attack on the patchwork rabble. But the high morale of the enemy troops before them frightened them so much that they trembled with fear.
Why do these evil parties have such high morale and such strong fighting spirit?
Every fool is not afraid of death! Every fool laughed and fell under the guns and swords! Every fool laughs and dies!
The fools are dreaming of their youthful dreams, and the men are shouting loudly together!
Forward!!
Advance!!
Don't stop!!
Forward!!
Advance!!
To that [Ralph Drew]! See what no one has ever seen!
With that man!!
For everyone's common dream!
In the end, as if favored by the destiny of heaven, these fools broke through the navy's mortal defense line by a sudden storm and fled into the more dangerous windless zone!
The navy didn't chase down, although there were ships that could survive the windless zone, but they were only a few, and with that group of people luring the giant Sea Kings to show up, they couldn't survive the crazy Sea Kings group.
However, this group of guys who slid the boat with their oars and finally broke through the windless zone have never seen a sea king! What a blessing!
A group of people who are like miracles, do not do evil, do not kill people and rob goods, but just sweep away the obstacles in front of them, and continue to win on the way forward! They are constantly joined by people, unscrupulous sailors who betray the navy, explorers who are constantly traveling, bounty hunters who are desperate for money......
Forward!!!
Forward!!
Advance!
Advance......
The cries of the men still seem to echo in the ears today.
It has been so many years since the obese old man woke up from his dream......
This terrible dream...... Still pestering himself and not letting go......
Is......
Disgusting!
