Early the next morning.

The eastern sky had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and there was still a little standing water on the wooden deck of the Seawolf, and Edie Campbell rested his hands on the belly-high side of the ship, his eyes slightly narrowed, breathing freely with the humid air, and enjoying the sea breeze.

Edie breathed a sigh of relief.

The weather at sea is changing, and last night a sudden heavy rain and wind and waves made everyone on the boat experience what is called the bad temper of the sea, and the bumpy ship made many people vomit.

Among them was Edie's merchant friend, poor Milne had vomited and was lying in a hammock like a dead dog.

As a level 7 mid-level warrior, Edie's body is much stronger than ordinary people, and the bumps caused by the wind and waves did not affect him much, but the terrifying smell of vomit still made this noble young master miserable, which is why Edie came to the deck early in the morning.

In fact, it's not just Edie, it's a lot of people who come to the deck to get some air.

Earlier than the airy passengers were the Seawolf's sailors, or "them", hoisting their sails and wiping the water from the wooden deck under the great command of the Blackscaled Fishmen.

These dense oak decks are coated with a layer of resin, which is highly waterproof, and the water on the surface cannot penetrate and needs to be wiped manually.

"Hey, sir, please move somewhere. ”

The lingua franca with a strange accent reached Edie's ears, and Edie turned around to see a black-scaled fishman standing behind him with a mass of rags, it was a ship's employee.

Edie nodded and smiled at the fish-men, and walked to the area that had been cleaned up, after a short time with each other yesterday, Edie could no longer treat these monsters of the overseas archipelago as ordinary monsters.

Aside from their appearance, the monsters of these overseas islands are no different from humans.

It's not just Edie, it's what most of the passengers on board feel.

In fact, Edie thinks that these monsters on the ship are better than most civilians in Red River City, which is an indescribable feeling, and Edie feels that these monsters are full of energy, as if they are full of energy to do anything.

You must know that although Nordhill is a very powerful plane and has a developed magical civilization, these precious resources are in the hands of the ruling class represented by the aristocracy, and the commoners do not enjoy the convenience brought by magic, so that mental numbness has become a norm.

And these savage and backward monsters can maintain a good mental outlook, which makes Edie surprised and very curious at the same time.

"Hey, Fishman, can we talk?"

The busy black-scaled fishman continued to work on his hands, turning his head to look at the human who was asking questions.

"Of course, guests from afar, and my name is Kam Darktide. ”

"Hello, Kem, can you tell me about your hometown?"

To find opportunities in an unfamiliar environment, you must first understand the environment, and the most effective and cheapest way to understand the environment is to ask the locals.

At the mention of his hometown, Kem paused his movements and spoke proudly.

"My hometown is on Raging Tide Island, and it's the territory of our Darktide Clan, that's right! It's the territory! That's the reward given to us by the master of the archipelago, His Excellency the White Dragon Lord, and you may not know that our Darktide Clan was the first group of fishmen to follow His Excellency the White Dragon Lord,......。 ”

Edie patiently listened to the fish-man tell about the glorious history of the Darktide Clan, but what he wanted to know was not history, but the current state of the overseas archipelago.

"The Darktide Clan is really an amazing clan, since the Angry Tide Island was bestowed by His Excellency the White Dragon Lord, does the Darktide Clan have any privileges?"

Hearing the compliment from the humans, Kem was very happy.

"Privileges? Of course! The tax revenue in Fury Tide Island only needs to be paid to the White Castle, and the remaining thirty percent is retained by the Darktide Clan, and they are used where they are needed, such as repairing the hatchery pond, building a few more schools, ....... ”

Edie was shocked to hear the school.

"School?!The Darktide Clan still builds a school?"

"Of course, about fifty years ago, His Excellency the White Dragon Lord personally issued an order that every gathering place must have a school, and every underage fish-man must go to the school to learn until he has mastered the basic writing and some common knowledge of the archipelago. ”

Kem looked at the stunned humans and shrugged.

"Of course, the teachers of these junior schools can only teach these elementary knowledge, in addition, some schools can also teach advanced knowledge such as magic and martial arts, this kind of higher school is not something that ordinary fishmen can enter, which requires a certain amount of talent and money. ”

"But His Excellency the White Dragon Lord is very merciful, it has provided us ordinary fishmen with loans, which only need to be paid off after graduation, and if you can join the official institutions of the White Castle with excellent grades, this money does not have to be repaid. ”

"I'm trying to raise money to pay off my debts right now, and I forgot to mention that I'm a second-class fighter. ”

After speaking, Kem showed his qi, Edie looked at the weak energy in the fishman's hand, nodded, but he didn't expect that the fishman in front of him, who was not good-looking, was still a professional.

Edie quickly glanced at the thin arms and legs of the fish-man, the warrior is a profession that feeds on the body, and the fish-man is weak, according to his estimate, the real combat power of the fish-man in front of him may be similar to that of an ordinary human veteran.

Of course, it's a different story if it's in the sea.

"Can you tell me about the academy system in the overseas archipelago? ”

"Our school here is divided into ordinary schools and magic martial arts academy, ordinary schools can only teach some ordinary knowledge, and the magic martial arts academy is divided into three levels, elementary, intermediate, and advanced. ”

"The junior demonic martial arts academy is the most, to say the least there are more than a thousand, there are only fifty-six intermediate demonic martial arts academies, and there are only five advanced demonic martial arts academies. ”

"In addition, there are a few special academies, such as the Alchemy Academy, which specializes in cultivating alchemy talents, the military academy that transports talents to the White Fort army, and one of the most powerful Holy Dragon Academies, but the Holy Dragon Academy is only open to absolute geniuses and the descendants of those who have great dedication to the White Castle. ”

Kem's tone was full of adoration for the Holy Dragon Academy, and Edie was stunned by the blow.

Even the Kingdom of Horn, a kingdom that has been passed down for thousands of years, has no more than thirty academies that can teach magic and martial arts, but the overseas islands are .......

The fish-man looked at the stunned Edie and smiled, this was not the first human to be struck into doubts, and turned to continue his work.

It didn't take long for Edie to wake up and see the fish-man already busy, swallowing a mouthful of saliva rolling in his throat.

The overseas archipelago, a wild place in the impression, is actually more developed than the kingdom of Horn, which has been established for thousands of years.

Edie finally understood why he saw such a good spirit in these monsters, and the development of the overseas archipelago was no less than that of the powerful countries in the south.

Poor news of himself and the others, thinking that this is a wild place, Edie smiled self-deprecatingly, and at the same time had more expectations for his own journey, he continued to ask others for news .......

After more than an hour, Edie noticed several fish-people gathered at the bow of the ship, including Kem Darktide, who were discussing something in the fish-man language.

Then, under the curious eyes of everyone, several fishmen dragged a huge fishing net and jumped directly into the sea from the boat.

Everyone gathered around the side of the boat to watch, at this time, the wind and waves on the sea were not strong, several fishmen dragged the open fishing nets, dived into the sea and disappeared, at the same time, the speed of the boat slowed down.

A big black man couldn't help but sigh.

"Tut-tut, it's so convenient, if you want to eat fish, you can directly drag the fishing net to the sea to get it. ”

A junior mage in a robe, rolled his eyes.

"That's as simple as you think, the sea is no less dangerous than the forest, don't you see the harpoons on their backs, they are just like us human hunters entering the forest, they are all risking their lives to hunt. ”

The kobold sailor said triumphantly.

"You're not right, it's not easy for a fishman to go to the sea to fish, but you don't have to risk your life either. ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were shifted to himself, the kobold introduced this novel way of fishing.

"It's not easy, the hardest part of this fishing is finding the fish, and there are often other predators around the fish. ”

"It's not hard to say, the Fish-Man armies often clean up the ocean's high-risk animals, so for the most part, our brave Fish-Man sailors won't encounter too tricky predators, and if all goes well, we'll be able to eat fresh seafood at noon. ”

"That's ....... ”

Everyone suddenly realized.

After more than an hour, the fishmen returned, armed with their trophies, a net of swinging sea fish.

To the cheers of the crowd, the nets were dragged aboard by the sailors, and the fish in the nets bounced off the deck.

Edie's eyes were good, and at a glance, he saw the two sea fish with silver lines in the fishing net, and his eyes shrank.

"Good fellows!"

Silver threadfish is a precious sea fish, small in size, up to two feet long, in the water like electricity, the taste is extremely delicious, they live in the sea water about 500 meters below the sea surface, human fishermen are extremely difficult to catch, but once you catch one, then you don't have to worry about a few years.

Because, even in a port city like Victoria Harbour, silver threadfish can buy a pound of hardware, and in an inland city like the Kingdom of Horn, the price is even more than twenty times, because silver threadfish must live in sea water around zero degrees, which is extremely difficult to transport.

Edie walked briskly to the cabin and told the news to his merchant friend who was lying in a hammock.

When Milne heard this, his tired body immediately poured out of his infinite strength, and he got up from the hammock excitedly and ran out of the door, so fast that Edie, a mid-level warrior, was ashamed.

The two of them squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, just in time to see the fish-man take out the silver-threaded fish and put it into a bucket of floating ice.

A flash of disappointment flashed in Milne's eyes, it was clear that these fish-men were knowledgeable, and the idea of picking up leaks would not work.

At noon, there were some more dishes on the boat, delicious seafood.

Eating the delicious seafood, Milne was excited again, it was indeed the right thing to come to the overseas islands, which were full of opportunities, and if he could find a stable supply channel, he could benefit from trade.

The two friends immediately exchanged ideas, Edie plans to form his own adventure party to find precious herbs, gems, and hunt supernatural creatures, while Milne plans to find a local partner to buy ships and form his own caravan.

Both feel that their futures are promising.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the deck.

"Demonic Creature !!"

The faces of the two people in the cabin changed in unison, after experiencing the demonic disaster a few years ago, the continent talked about demonic creatures.

Then, there was a noisy discussion on the deck, in which Edie did not hear any fear, and no one fled back to the cabin, and the two of them couldn't help but feel very confused.

The two of them walked out of the cabin, found an empty seat on the deck, and saw the scene of everyone watching.

On the surface of the sea not far from the ship, a huge turtle carried a demonized shark covered in blood-red patterns on its back, of course, the shark was not too big, and it was dead, and there was a group of fishmen around the huge turtle.

The fishmen were well-armed and held spears against large creatures, the spears were shivering with cold light, and Edie even saw a fishman mage with a staff.

It seems that this is the White Castle's sea parade team.

During Captain Gnoll's bragging, Edie learns of the existence of the White Keep Maritime Patrol, a squad of elite fishmen who patrol the waters of the Overseas Islands, hunting down high-level supernatural creatures and demonic beasts to ensure the safety of the Overseas Islands.

After the opening of routes to overseas islands from major ports, the intensity of cruising has increased several times.

In the distance, a fish-man of the sea cruise team saw the people on the boat, climbed onto the shark's corpse, and waved to everyone enthusiastically, and everyone responded enthusiastically.

Two days later in the afternoon.

Edie and Milne stood on the bow of the Seawolf, looking excitedly at the huge island, or small continent, Kumlinge, above the sea level.

Xuetao City, a new city at the mouth of the Xuehua River, is the terminal of the Seawolf's voyage and their foothold.

As we got closer and closer to Xuetao City, the color of the sea under the ship became lighter and lighter, from turquoise blue at the beginning, to transparent and colorless now.

Everyone on the Seawolf looked at the neat white houses in Xuetao City, and their hearts were surging.

Bang Bang Bang!

The disembarkation bell had already struck, and Edie and Milne, who had already been ready, rushed to the newly built pier, which still smelled of oak, with their bags on their backs.

In the fiery sunset, in the chirping of seagulls, the two teenagers rushed to the city of hope with their dreams in their hearts.
