According to Old Bill's words, there has been no civilization inheritance in this world for a long time, after all, everything is submerged underwater.

The entire human world is also divided into countless independent ships, floating island bazaars, and various islands in the vast sea, and when storms and tsunamis occur, many people are completely cut off from each other and become completely isolated.

But there are still many historical legends from ancient times that have been handed down, and there are even written legends.

All of this is made possible by a group of self-proclaimed troubadours.

They wandered back and forth between islands, floating islands, and even ships, spreading the inheritance they had received and some of the things they had learned from various places, so that the remaining human beings would not only live on their own islands and become obscurantist beasts.

Unlike the traders who take risks for the sake of profit, the troubadours are not motivated by profit at all, but by their own mission.

It is said that their heritage comes from the ancient civilization before the tsunami, and as for where it came from, many people have long forgotten.

Legend has it that some of the wisest troubadours even wielded magic called "technology" in ancient civilizations.

It is precisely because these troubadours have a cultural heritage that they have a high status in this world, and the places they go are somewhat similar to the wandering monks in the past, and they will be worshiped by the locals.

Of course, these troubadours also give back interesting stories and fascinating insights to the locals.

For the people of the floating island bazaar and the boats, the arrival of the troubadour means that the monotony of life can only see the vast sea, and finally a little more bright.

According to old Bill's information, just two days ago, the AN-13 Floating Island Bazaar had just welcomed a troubadour.

And now the troubadour resides at the top of the floating island bazaar, in the tower where only dignitaries can live.

According to Shen Feng's understanding of the oil drilling platform, it should have been a crane tower in the past.

Shen Feng walked forward in the floating island market the size of a football field, and he was not anxious, but observed the surrounding scenery as he walked, so as to determine the state of human civilization in this world.

Originally, according to his prediction, this floating island bazaar, as a dwelling place adrift on the sea, should be dirty and very dilapidated, just like the barbaric state of the village described in the movie "Future Water World".

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this place was cleaned up and all kinds of things were placed in an orderly manner.

Although most of the clothes were woven from worn-out plastic sheeting or sun-dried seaweed, they were cleanly washed and did not look tattered in the slightest.

Shen Feng thought about it for a while, and then understood.

Although this world has been completely submerged by the sea, and most humans have fed fish, it is said that the marine resources have been greatly expanded, especially the marine life such as fish and various algae, which are definitely very rich.

The rig-turned-floating island market itself resembles a huge reef floating in the sea, which naturally attracts a variety of marine life.

Therefore, although the various necessities of life are very poor, the people of this world should have enough food to feed themselves and not starve to death.

As for the source of water, it is also relatively simple.

For inefficient desalination treatment, only a piece of plastic sheeting is sufficient.

Shen Feng walked all the way over, and saw that every household in this floating island market had one or several huge plastic sheets, covered in some basins or directly on the sea, and obtained distilled water under the sunlight.

And according to the descriptions of those pirates during this time, the world's precipitation resources are very abundant, and it can be regarded as a source of fresh water.

What the inhabitants of these floating island markets lack most are the minerals and trace elements that should come from crops.

Fortunately, sashimi and various seaweeds can alleviate this scarcity a little.

While Shen Feng was looking at the residents of the floating island market, these people were also looking at Shen Feng.

Although Shen Feng was just an ordinary T-shirt and big pants, as well as a pair of slippers, in the eyes of the residents of these floating island markets, it was already the top high-end wear.

This kind of clothing, which can cover most of the body, is a symbol of status and status.

When they heard that this boy was the new captain of the Beastmaster Pirate Regiment, many people were relieved.

However, there were still many children giggling and following behind Shen Feng, wanting to see what kind of excitement this new weirdo could bring them.

Soon, Shen Feng had already arrived at the foot of the hanging tower that was said to be inhabited by troubadours.

At this time, there were two strong men with dark bodies and only grass skirts guarding under the tower, and when they saw Shen Feng coming, they immediately showed a fierce expression.

Shen Feng pursed his lips, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.

This world may be the place where the poet has the highest status after the ancient Chinese kingdom.

However, although he didn't think so, he still took out a shining piece of glass, handed it to the other party, and said:

"I would like to ask to see the troubadour, and this is my honorarium."

The moment they saw this piece of glass, the two guards couldn't help but show a shocked look, one of them took the round piece of glass, looked at the sun carefully, and found that it was indeed a lens, and hurriedly climbed up the ladder and climbed towards the hanging tower.

Shen Feng nodded slightly, understanding that this thing was indeed useful.

Although there is basically no universal currency for people in this world, bartering is the mainstay, but there is also a general equivalent that can be exchanged.

It's a glass lens.

In fact, it is the bottom of many clear glass bottles.

This kind of thing is indispensable for people who live at sea.

There are so many things that a glass lens can do.

The biggest use is to gather sunlight and use the high temperature generated by the convex lens focus to make a fire.

Another function is to make telescopes to see distant situations at sea.

Telescopes are extremely important for a sea vessel, whether it is used to find schools of fish or to find floating ore belts.

Even the sharp edges of the lens can be used to cut through the tough skin of fish or scrape away scales.

Once a hole is drilled in the edge or wrapped in a leather shell, it can be hung as a beautiful necklace on the chest, a real symbol of strength and status.

Because of this, glass lenses have a very high status and value in this world.

After all, it is capable of summoning fire on its own.

And although glass products have been occasionally found in those floating ore belts, the number is still small.

The bottom of the glass bottle in Shen Feng's hand was one of the several glass bottles that those pirates found in the floating garbage mine yesterday, and the bottom of the bottle was knocked off.

The other pirates all had one or two of these glass-bottomed lenses, which drove them crazy.

The guard who climbed the hanging tower quickly climbed down again, the glass lens in his hand had disappeared, and said to Shen Feng with a solemn face:

"Mr. Poet is meditating, but he is happy to see you, go, stranger."

Shen Feng smiled slightly, nodded to the two guards, and climbed the ladder of the hanging tower.

His speed was unhurried, and as he climbed, he observed the entire floating island market through the height of the crane.

As you can see, the largest area of this floating island market is the dock trading area, while the other places are mainly used to dry fish, and there are even simple floating cages for deep-sea farming, and I don't know what is raised in them.

There are many children swimming and playing in the sea around the floating island market, with happy smiles on their faces, apparently born in this apocalyptic generation.

Compared with those who understand the glory of human civilization in the past, these children are the people with the lightest ideological baggage and the most accepting of reality.

Soon, Shen Feng had already climbed to the door of the hanging tower, knocked lightly, and a slightly hoarse voice came from inside:

"Come in."

Shen Feng opened the door and went in, and saw that this was a room of almost ten square meters, and the most valuable thing compared to the room below the floating island market was that it was the farthest from the sea, so it was the driest.

The "floor" of the room was covered with some sun-dried seaweed, and some plastic foam boards and the like, which were very rudimentary, but smeared with shell powder.

In the middle of this "room", a petite figure sits cross-legged, with long hair scattered over his shoulders.

The moment he saw this person's appearance, Jingwei's voice immediately sounded in Shen Feng's mind:

"Make no mistake! Why is it a woman again? What kind of luck are you? What's the matter, if the supporting character gets a man, he will live or what? ”

The troubadour sitting there was a blonde girl with wheat-colored skin.

She wears a robe made of small black and white squares, which also looks like a pair of armor.

Shen Feng looked carefully, and saw that these small squares were filled with letters and various numbers, and they were the keycaps of some keyboards!

The troubadour also had an iron bar in his hand, and on top of the iron bar, a slightly broken keyboard was inlaid with it.

Shen Feng couldn't help but pout.

Sure enough, when civilization is lost, things in this form of cargo worship often appear.

After all, ordinary people in this world have called science "magic called technology".

He was used to all this, so he didn't look too surprised.

At this time, the troubadour was also looking at Shen Feng, her eyes were sharp, and a pair of blue eyes seemed to see through Shen Feng's thoughts in an instant, and said:

"Troubadours are women, and men can't stand too long a voyage, and they can't stand the long dampness between their legs, and you seem surprised at that, outsiders?"

Shen Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't expect the other party to be able to see that he was an outsider in an instant.

It's just that this outsider doesn't know what exactly he means?

From other floating island markets? Or some other part of the ocean?

Or is it some other world?

The troubadour stood up, stepped on the floor with a pair of bare feet, walked to the window of the hanging tower, and looked out, as if answering Shen Feng's doubts, and as if he was talking to himself, and said:

"You can see the whole floating island market here, you are not the former captain of the Beastmaster Pirate Regiment, after coming to the floating island market, you don't go to find solace in those women who sell their bodies, and you don't drink salted wine made from seaweed, but you come here directly, plus your appearance is relatively rare, and you are wearing clothes that no one has ever seen, so you are an outsider, and you want to find an answer that you are not sure about."

Shen Feng nodded slightly.

Although civilization has almost disappeared, it is also very gratifying that human wisdom has never died.

No longer going around in circles at the moment, he asked directly:

"How the hell did the World Beast overwhelm the whole world? Do humans still have a terrestrial existence? Is there still a holy armor? If so, where is it? And what drives it? Also, do you know what a space wormhole is? What specific struggles did human civilization do before it was submerged by the tsunami? Will the Worldbeast still attack humans now? ”

With each question he asked, the troubadour's eyes lit up, and when he had finished his question, the troubadour tossed the glass lens in his hand and said:

"You can sing an epic poem for every question, I thought that the person who could afford a glass lens must be very generous, but I didn't expect you to be the most greedy one."

Shen Feng had been a little impatient by the other party's way of talking around the bend at this time, so he took out a windproof lighter with a metal shell from his backpack, lit it lightly, and sent it to the troubadour, saying:

"I don't like procrastination."

The troubadour's eyes instantly sparkled, and he took the lighter, looked cautiously at the flames above, and murmured:

"It's ...... A magic fire called a lighter? ”

Shen Feng couldn't help but have a big head for a while, and as soon as he used his hand, he was about to pull the lighter back.

The troubadour hurriedly dragged the lighter with both hands, turned off the flame and put it in his pocket, and said at the same time:

"It stands to reason that you have asked too many questions that I should have refused, but for the sake of your sincerity in searching for answers at sea, I can tell you everything as it is."

Then his face became solemn again, and he returned to the center of the room, sat cross-legged on a blanket made of fish skin and seaweed, lit a little ambergris on the seashell plate next to him with a lighter, and said solemnly:

"Outsider, I will sing for you the three epics of "The Epic of the Sinking of the World", "The Epic of the Savior Hero", and "The Epic of the Beast of the World", please get ready to listen to this great past."

At this moment, Shen Feng's bracelet shook suddenly, and he immediately looked down, and saw a text flash on the screen:
