The sea of glory continues to be a tailwind.

The "Sand Gull" shuttled quickly between the waves, the slender oak hull of the graceful curve reflecting the moonlight and emitting a silver glow, and the waves that fluttered on the side of the ship from time to time made a pleasant sound of "brushing and lala". In the early morning of the two days before the turn day, the huge forty-oared twin masted ship had been sailing for a day and a night from the town of Starport, located at the eastern end of Lingshen Island.

Single-hearted Blue Ocean stands alone on the back deck, gazing at the blue-black night sky and the ocean of the same color spread out below. The sky is full of silver stars and sparkling waves, like a diamond veil for the ocean and the night sky.

The sea breeze caressed and the waves sang, and he couldn't help but be enchanted, "There is no more enchanting scenery than this," he muttered with a soft sigh.

The sound of footsteps came from behind him, and Yixin didn't need to look back to know that it was Xia Beihao, the captain of the Sand Gull, because Yixin had just heard the sound of him urging the oarsmen below to rotate their positions. Xia Beihao was thirty-five years old, and he was considered the youngest among several captains of his father's merchant fleet, but he won his father's trust because of his calm personality and excellent sailing skills, and he was relieved to hand over the flagship of the fleet, the "Sand Gull", to him. He has been responsible for exchanging the grain of Lingshen Island for the minerals and gems of Poseidon Island, and then transporting them to Heligod Island in exchange for exquisite handicrafts, books, and spices to bring back to Lingshen Island.

Xia Beihao walked to Yixin's side, stood side by side with him, and gently patted him twice on the back, which was regarded as a greeting, "Are you too excited to sleep?" ”

Yishin shook his head, he was a little embarrassed, "It's comfortable to sleep in the rocking cabin, so I sleep a little too much during the day." ”

Xia Beihao laughed: "It has nothing to do with the swaying cabin, it's because your spirit is relaxed." I can only sleep comfortably on solid land. There are countless things to do as soon as you step on deck – settling passengers, scheduling oarsmen, ordering goods – and never sleeping. But thanks to you, this voyage was much easier. We didn't carry any passengers, and the cargo was only about two-thirds of what we used to do, so the workload was much less. I used to have to get up around three in the morning, but now ...... It's almost five o'clock. ”

This is my father's explanation, the "Sand Gull" is just piggybacking on the goods this time, and the main purpose is to send Yixin to the Golden Crow Temple of the Sun God Island.

"You've been in the fleet for more than a decade, haven't you? Isn't it too hard to be so busy all the time? Single-mindedly asked.

"Ahem, what's the point of being busy! This job is safe and stable, and I am very satisfied. He leaned against the railing, his arms relaxed on it, and could tell that he was saying what he really felt inside.

His father once told him that Xia Beihao's father was also an old sailor, and he died in the pirate raid, when Xia Beihao was only a teenager under the age of ten. Fifteen years ago, Hades Dragon Ran completely wiped out the pirates that had ravaged the Sea of Glory and the Endless Sea for more than a hundred years, and the seafaring trade began to become safe. Although merchants had to pay a certain amount of tax to trade between the various routes, it was much less than the cost of hiring bodyguards or armed ships. Merchants removed the ramming horns on the bow of their ships because they no longer had to worry about the robbery of their ships and the death of their ships. Maritime trade began to flourish.

"The gods have an arrangement for everyone. As for my arrangement, I was very satisfied with the bowl of sailing rice, and I chanted divine grace every day. Xia Beihao said, putting his hands on his forehead, and the back of his hand was close to his eyes and opened, which was a gesture to show respect to the gods. But you, Yixin, though you were born into a family of seafarers, the first time you boarded the ship, I saw that the gods had other plans for you. ”

"Heh, you saw it the first time?" Yixin pouted and smiled, "Do you remember what you said to me the first time I got on the boat?" ”

"What did I say?" Xia Beihao affectionately bumped his heart with his shoulder, "You were only five years old at the time, what can you remember?" ”

"I remember it clearly!" Tilting his head up, he bent his waist and acted like the young and vigorous sailor in his memory: "You said to me, 'Where did this kid come from?' Didn't you come to our ship as a mascot? ’”

Xia Beihao was amused by his vivid appearance, "Did I say you are a mascot?" I've always been so observant! That time, we were able to receive that glorious mission, and in the end, we were able to turn evil into good fortune, probably because you played the role of mascot! He raised his hand and gestured to the sails that fluttered in the sea breeze.

Yixin also smiled, he liked Xia Beihao's explanation. Although he was joking, it gave Yixin a feeling that "his dream was destined to come true".

"Hey, Ichishin!" Xia Beihao hugged the shoulders of Yixin Blue Ocean. The young man was as tall as his father, but he was round because he was fat. "You're awesome! It's true! Not just Captain Blue Ocean, but the entire merchant fleet is proud of you! ”

The middle-aged captain could be said to have watched Yixin grow up, and Yixin knew that he was not good at words, so this sincere compliment made him a little ashamed, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

Xia Beihao patted Yixin's shoulder, raised the list of goods in his hand at him, indicating that he still had work to do, and turned to leave.
