Selekos used to think that he was a lucky little man, because he was born on New Year's Day in 1970, so that every year during the New Year's celebrations, Selekos could deceive himself into the celebration that the world was throwing for him, and then revel in it to entertain himself.

"Isn't it a blessing that as long as I'm still in the Bourbon Sea, I won't forget when my birthday is?" said Selekos as he bragged at the tavern.

Celecos is a Boris merchant family, two hundred years ago was just an ordinary sailor, relying on the east wind of the Cornigta trade, and has accumulated a lot of money so far, so that the family has a considerable scale.

But even so, in the vast Bourbon sea, Selekos was still a small man, and his family was only a small family, and they could only eat a little scraps in the vast Cornigta trade.

But shop around, compared to those centuries-old behemoths, compared to those Invats and Ingoners, doesn't he seem very lucky to be a Bourbon?

"We Bourbons are the well-deserved overlords of the Bourbon Sea, and no other race, no matter what the race, can challenge our hegemony on this vast ocean, because we are the most devout believers of the sea god, and the sea is our protector!" said this to the sea god priest every time in the prayer before sailing, which strengthened Selekos' confidence.

Selekos was born in the Seaway of Sauendo, one of the waterways of the island of Borisbon, and the history of the Seaway is not very long compared to the three waterways of the island, which has a long history, and it was only in 1466 that it was separated from the old waterway due to the restructuring of the Bourbon Governor Felison XIV, and it has a history of only more than 600 years.

Although the history is not long, the Thuendo Channel was ceded to Boris by Bourbon as early as 1576 because of the "First Bourbon War" of the "Peace of Boris", and it has been more than 500 years now, so Selekos can proudly claim that he is the name of Boris, a Bourbon, not a decadent and degenerate ancient Bourbon.

More specifically, Selekos was born in Sutra on the Shuendo Channel, north of Butok, the capital of the Shuendor Seaway.

As mentioned earlier, Selekos was a merchant in the Conigta trade, and his father took over from his ancestors that he sailed from Sytra to Astor on the old fairway.

Although Astor is the territory of Bourbon, Bourbon, which has become a vassal state of Boris, how can there be any territory to speak of? All of Astor's ports are "leased" by Boris merchants of all sizes, and Selekos's father is one of them, and Boris's merchant ships sail here only to pay negligible tariffs.

After sailing to Aster, Selekos's father would dock his fleet in the harbor to rest and sell some Boris goods—the decaying old Bourbons were crazy about Bourbon fashion, and then they would buy some local specialties before continuing their voyage north.

The second stop for Selekos's father was the port city of Nisius in the Wagra Guard in the Lydroo Privileged Area, where he had maintained many acquaintances over the course of 200 years, and there was always a local docking area for Selekos's father.

After leaving Nissi, Selekos's father would sail to Subak, which was part of the Teavesi nucleus of the Lydroo privileged area, and like Nissi, Selekos's father had an old relationship with the local Invats, inherited from his father and grandparents, and could avoid many fearless troubles.

Subak is followed by Visilena, the capital of the core of Trevesi, and the most prosperous area of the core of Trevesi, not to mention the natural haven for boats.

It's just that Selekos's family is only a small family after all, and the relationship is no longer enough to do it here, and the situation of Selekos's father in Visilena is a metaphysical issue.

If luck is not enough, and Selekos's father fails to reconcile Vesilena, then this trade will have to end here, and Selekos's father will have to buy Cornigta goods from the Invat market, which means having to endure the high brokerage fees of the Invats, who are also transferred from the Invads.

As a result, the goods brought back by Selekos' father had to increase the price of the goods that were brought back to the Nigriga and could not compete with the nobles who had the best eyes and hands.

But if he is lucky enough to secure a mooring area in Vesilena, then Selekos's father can continue his voyage through Yuga, which is under the jurisdiction of Indo, to Tulaen, where he can buy the goods offered by the Ingona people, and then only need to go through a single intermediary fee, which is much cheaper.

As for leaving Tulaan and continuing the voyage, covering the entire north coast of the Tamron Continent, sailing directly to the port of Rorti, the port of Cornigta itself, or continuing further into the interior of Inanda and going directly to the inland city of Samfu, where Inanda traded with Konigta by overland trade routes?

So normally, the normal operation of Selekos's father is to sail to Visilena, and the supernormal is to sail to Tulain, which is what a small merchant can achieve.

This route, the ancestors handed over to the fathers, the fathers handed over to themselves, and the father went to the family business group to do things, so after the age of 20, Selekos began to run this business route himself, Selekos thought that his era was no different from his father, but the reality was ruthlessly slapping Selekos in the face.

The term "Lydelu War", a term that made Selekos gnash his teeth, destroyed the network of relationships that Selekos's parents had worked so hard to manage in the Ledelu privileged area, and made the experience of Selekos's ancestors worthless here.

At the end of the "Lydelu War", Selekos had only run a few trade routes with his elders, and he was only 16 years old, while his father was sent by the merchant group to manage a new relationship to open the way - the Wagrawei was directly governed by the Poeloo, and the core of Teavesi was governed by the Boemi, and the previous relationship with the Invats was completely nullified.

The first few years were very hard years, sometimes Selekos envied the Boris merchants who ran the Laventica trade, the situation there was much more violent than here, and they were still able to do well, which really made Selekos envious.

But the day comes when everything comes to an end, and after a few difficult years, the network is rebuilt, and Selekos is finally able to sail to distant Visilena, just like his father.

"If you want me to say, isn't it just a matter of time! We Bourbons are believers in the god of the sea, and we have always had to fight against the waves! No matter how big the waves are, isn't it just a few moments! The network of relations has been broken? Rebuilding is! Today, Lao Tzu, I will not continue to run the Cornigta trade!"

In the tavern in Vesilena for strangers, Selekos raised his glass and smugly admired his ability to withstand pressure. However, just as Selekos was happy, some worrisome conversations came from the side of the plate into Selekos's ears.

"You say, will Potloo and Boris fight?" "Yes, Potloo has now fought all over the Dragon's invincible opponents, and the next target is probably only the Origin Land, right?" "How is it possible? Isn't this still Boutoxi, Maz Island, and Cornigta?" "Those are too far away, Boris is the closest. "But there's the Eppos Ban!" and "What if the Epos Ban is lifted?"

What if the "Prohibition of Epos" is lifted? As soon as this thought climbed into Selekos's mind, he began to linger, and the rest of the voyage Selekos asked his distant relatives worriedly, but the other party laughed and thought that Selekos was talking a fool's dream.

Then on the way back to Selekos, coinciding with the New Year of the year 2000 of the Great Calendar, when the second millennium was approaching, Selekos was happy about this once-in-a-millennium festival on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was sad that he did not return home and could not see the celebration, when the apocalyptic announcement of the lifting of the "Erposian Ban" came out, and then Selekos was left with only sadness.

So the rest of the voyage was spent in sorrow, and the only thing that pleased Celekos was that the price of the goods in the Conigta had skyrocketed by more than three times, but the false money could not hide Celekos's panic, so he, like many people, ran to the altar of the sea god to hear what the priest had to say.

The priest was still very responsible for these devout believers, and after collecting the entrance fee, he specially invited a teacher from Bhutoka College, who was said to be highly respected but had never heard of Selekos, to calm the panicked believers.

"This, it is impossible to fight a war, it is impossible to fight a war in this life. Think about it, who has the strongest navy in the Bourbon Sea? Who's the strongest in the Army? One has the strongest navy and the strongest army, so why do you fantasize that these two countries are fighting together? Isn't this cheaper for those countries with the second navy and the second army?"

"You must know how vast the Bourbon Sea is, our interests in Bourbon Island, the Edonan Peninsula and the Laventica trade, and the interests of Portlou in the Tenglong Continent, two routes that do not intersect at all, interests that do not intersect, so why fight together?

"You must believe that the leaders of our country are nobles with a long heritage, and they are naturally noble, and they naturally have great wisdom that you civilians can't match, so only you, a group of short-sighted civilians, will feel that the two strongest countries will definitely fight together, and this world needs to compromise. ”

The tutor invited from the Bhutoka Academy was full of enthusiasm to explain the reasons why "the war will not start" to the civilians of Selekos, but these civilians were so ignorant that the tutor found that he had said so much that he had no use for these civilians.

A small businessman next to Selekos asked, "Mentor, although you have a lot of point, but I'm still so scared, what should I do? Can you guarantee it? What if there is a fight?"

The mentor was also angry, if this was not the altar of the sea god, he would have grabbed this Diao Min to his family's water prison and punished him eighteen times, but under the witness of the gods, the mentor could only patiently suppress his anger, and said with an embarrassed smile:

"It's impossible to fight, it's impossible to fight in this life, and if it does, I'll eat this table. ”
