Chapter 262: Out to Sea

Fang Yuhao walked into a bookstore.

Books are a luxury here.

The owner of the bookstore was facing a large box, smiling dementedly.

A bright ray of sunlight appeared on his face, and the whole person was illuminated with its original miserable white, because the skin showed unhealthy spots after not shining the sun for a long time.

He's even like a sucker?? Like a poisonous patient, he laughed wildly, indulging in the process of irradiating the sun, and didn't even care about Fang Yuhao's arrival.

"Jingle bells."

The magic bell in front of the door rang suddenly, and the shopkeeper reacted and covered the box with a "snap".

"Hello, what book do you want to buy?"

Fang Yuhao picked out two books on navigation, put them on the counter, and took out a few more silver coins, "I have some questions and want to ask you." ”

For the sake of closing a deal, the owner of the bookstore did not show impatience, "What's your problem?" ”

Fang Yuhao took out the world map, "Isn't there no one on the continent behind Giant Stone City?" ”

"Of course not! How can humans survive away from the sea? Moreover, the farther west it goes, the colder it gets, and it can directly freeze humans. You just have no idea how cold it is there! ”

The owner of the bookstore thought for a moment and said, "It's just a legend...... Ishigami resides on the other side of the continent, a paradise full of sunshine! However, the best expedition troops could not cross the entire continent on foot, and could only sail through the ocean to the sunny sea. ”

"Is the entire Moonless Continent full of coal?" Fang Yuhao said curiously.

"Of course, it's a gift from the stone god!" The shopkeeper said very reverently, "Since the beginning of the Second Age, it has been two thousand years old, perhaps...... We've only dug up a millionth of the entire continent of coal. ”

The so-called First Age may have been an extremely technologically advanced ancient century. However, due to a certain disaster, the planet stopped rotating, and the current "Second Age" was formed. Anyway, in the eyes of humans in this world, everything in the First Age is good, and all of them are high-tech goods......

Fang Yuhao nodded, took two books, and left the bookstore.

Now the first clue is already there, about the "stone god" Emilia. This deity resides on the other side of the continent.

There are a total of three gods in this world, namely the "Stone God", the "Salt God" and the "Storm God".

Fang Yuhao is not clear about the "gods" of this world for the time being, whether they are true or false.

"Anyway, if you have the chance, you can visit these gods. Let's hope they're wise. ”

Judging from the currently known information, Emilia, the "stone god", prefers the human side and has a large number of devout believers; The "Salt God" is extremely fierce and curses at every turn, and it favors all kinds of sea creatures even more.

As for the storm god, it seems to be a neutral party. The occasional stirring up of wind and waves is the work of the storm god.

The best way to explore the gods is, of course, ...... Sail to sea!

Fang Yuhao flipped through two nautical books under the street lamp, and under the effect of [Sailing Talent], he quickly mastered the know-how.

He hurried to the docks.

"Smack!"

Then there were screams of pain.

There was a smuggler who was being flogged. The prisoners were tied to the Xingtai, tightly wrapped up in places other than buttocks, and whipped with whips.

The whip is a rattan whip from "Namenmore", soaked in some kind of highly religious liquid, and the whole process is very sacred.

A wizard is smiling and checking the prisoner's mental state.

The strong executioner, with a whip in his hand, spun out in a large circle, "snapped", and whipped desperately on the buttocks. This whip can consume most of the executioner's strength.

The whip, the prisoner didn't even scream, and he passed out in pain.

The surrounding crowd of onlookers whispered: "After watching so many lashes, no one has been able to soberly receive the third lash." ”

“…… What did he smuggle? ”

"It is said to be a piece of jewelry from the volcanic belt, and each piece of jewelry can sell for several gold coins! Then it was reported by a companion. ”

The wizard began to sober up for the prisoner. The flogging must be performed while the prisoner is in a conscious state to enhance the suffering.

Fang Yuhao watched for a while and lost interest. It's just one way to deter smugglers...... He wouldn't smuggle anyway.

His ultimate goal is just to find out the secrets of this world.

There is also a large talent recruitment site nearby, and every time you sail, you have to risk death. A dark ocean without light, the danger level is greatly increased. But with the crisis comes wealth, and young people who come to the docks are still flocking to it.

“…… Almost all the nobles obtained their first gold from seafaring. The wealth of the last era is hidden in the endless ocean! Especially in the mysterious no-man's land, the area that few people explore...... "A richly dressed aristocrat, shouting incendiary slogans, is giving a powerful speech.

Behind him, there was a huge steel ship, its hideous barrels emitting a metallic sheen. This kind of force alone can bring a sufficient sense of security.

"Let's conquer the seas and the sea monsters!"

"Marquis Edward, will you also go on this voyage?"

"Of course, our fleet, this time to the mysterious Arctic Ocean! We have the best equipment to slay the mighty sea beasts! ”

"Wow!" Many young people shouted excitedly, eager to go to sea immediately.

Fang Yuhao had no interest in competing with so many people, nor was he interested in exploring the Arctic Ocean. That was the opposite of his goal, he wanted to go to the sunny sea and meet the so-called "stone god".

Carefully browse through the various recruitment information on the bulletin board.

After a few minutes, Fang Yuhao walked up to a large steam cargo ship. Although it is not as good as the 10,000-ton ship of the great nobles, this ship also looks like it has a tonnage of seven or eight thousand tons.

The long voyage has left the bottom of the deck full of shellfish creatures. Some sailors were diving into the water, hanging shells with knives, and in the dim environment, they looked like water ghosts with their capes.

"You recruit sailors? Going to the sunny sea? ”

"Yes."

The captain, who was in his forties, carefully examined Fang Yuhao's face, frowned, and said, "Young man, you should know that the Sunshine Sea is the most distant destination on the road, and it comes with huge risks...... You still have a long life ahead of you and you shouldn't go to that kind of place. ”

Fang Yuhao was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be rejected.

"I'm sorry, sir, please give me a chance!"

Fang Yuhao said very sincerely: "I want a large amount of money to repay my personal debts, and I have to take a risk. I would watch the stars, I would use a compass, and I would use mathematics to calculate the position of the ship. I think your ship must be useful for me...... I hope you will give me a chance. ”

"Will you be astrological?"

"Yes!"

The captain was slightly surprised, there were not many people who graduated from college in this era, and even fewer people knew astrology and compass. The astrological charts in the sky change from season to year, and it is not so easy to master, you must have a little knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, and geography.

He looked at Fang Yuhao, although this young man was dressed ordinarily, his eyes were clear, and he had a spirit that ordinary people did not have.

Fang Yuhao took several questions one after another, such as what are the differences between the stars in the four seasons of the year, the calculation method of latitude and longitude, the common sense of ocean navigation, and various emergency knowledge, etc. All the answers were better than expected, as if the young man had already been a skilled sailor who had sailed several long distances.

"You look at my hands." The captain finally said.

A red light flickered in his hand.

Fang Yuhao subconsciously took a step back, just frowning, and there was no change on his face.

The captain was quite satisfied when he saw that his "panic technique" had no effect. He feared that some of the newly recruited sailors had a very poor psychological quality, and that after a few days of sailing, they would spread the terror to others. He resolutely does not want this kind of person.

"You come with me."

The captain said a few words to the first mate beside him, and the first mate began to check Fang Yuhao's body up and down. Then another wizard came, and this old wizard shone Fang Yuhao with a crystal ball.

"Don't worry, lad, just see if you're cursed by the gods."

The second officer in the back was comparing the portrait of the wanted criminal issued by the navy, and did not match Fang Yuhao's face.

"Probably not a wanted man."

After a full set of inspections, the captain suddenly knew in his heart: "What's your name?" ”

"Hot."

The captain waved his hand, "Get on board, hot, there is your place among the sailors!" ”

The interview was successful, Fang Yuhao was overjoyed, and followed the first mate to the cargo ship, he was in the same room as an old sailor.

"Don't worry, my old Duncan will take care of the young people. As soon as I saw you, I remembered my son, who was still studying, and in a few years, he would be as old as you and would have to go to sea. An older, good-natured sailor said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Duncan." Fang Yuhao greeted politely.

After putting away a few of his clothes, Fang Yuhao began to carry the goods with the group, mainly coal and steel.

Sell the unique products of Boulder City to other places, and then ship back the products from other places. Almost all merchant ships make money in this way.

"Haote, your strength is really great!"

"Where, where." Fang Yuhao smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing Fang Yuhao lifting two hundred catties of coal alone, several old sailors were dumbfounded, burying their thoughts of wanting to teach rookies a lesson in their stomachs.

His current incarnation cost nearly 10,000 faith fragments, and the cell activity was about 220, that is, the level of "far beyond ordinary people", and it was effortless to lift two hundred catties of coal.

Fang Yuhao did the work of two people alone, and even the captain was quite satisfied with the newly recruited sailors.
