"It's been a long time since Ssangyong Island has been so lively. ”

Thunder sighed as he stood at the top of the bridge tower of the Snowwind, overlooking the crowded docks.

Thousands of people gathered here to carry boxes of supplies to the ship, and from above, they looked like ants lined up in columns. The sound of shouting, shouting and the rustle of the waves crashing against the beach mingle to form the main theme before the voyage.

On the other side of the pier, there are all kinds of sailboats that are densely packed together, and the freeboard is close to the freeboard. The tall masts rise and fall, like endless mountain peaks.

Flags fluttering at the top of the peak indicate the flotilla's affiliation: Moonmoon Bay, Sunset Island, and Repulse City...... These chambers of commerce, which have been so important in the fjord, are now gathered here, just waiting for the moment to pull anchor and set sail.

The last time there was such a grand occasion was when he was twenty-two years old, gathering a team and heading for the Shadow Sea.

"It's not just Ssangyong," Margaery smiled beside her, "and the whole fjord has been stirred up by the news you've brought back." What seemed like a worthless route is now in the spotlight – safe, stable, and with the opportunity to become true explorers, a new generation can be said to have been born in a good era. ”

Thunder also raised the corners of his mouth.

He knew that the other party was talking about the Daqing Port route.

"Whatever it is, you can get a reward from the King of the Greykeep. When the news was brought back to the fjord, it immediately caused a stir.

The title of adventurer is a great attraction for fjord people, as it is not only a symbol of fame, but also of wealth. However, discovering new routes, islands, or great secrets is not an easy task, and it requires a lot of investment, and it can cost you all your life.

The news of the recruitment of the King of the Grey Keep has changed all that, the fjord to the Endless Cape is a very mature route, and the new harbor city of Daqing means that even if you don't find anything, at least you can dump some goods without losing money.

If you do find something good, it will kill two birds with one stone.

What's more, the news makes it clear that these ancient relics are likely to be related to a huge secret about the three gods, and as long as you can contribute to unlocking it, you will have a chance to receive the title of Honorary Explorer for Life from Grey Keep. Although the Grey Castle as a land kingdom is not the same as the Fiordland Islands, this condition is an indisputable criterion for where it is placed, or the fjord is more important.

After all, it has something to do with the three gods they believe in.

Because the news brought back by the thunder was so attractive, a small number of people raised doubts, but these doubts did not affect the enthusiasm of the merchants to go south. The fame of the King of the Grey Keep spread as early as when Chaos drinks and perfumes swept across the fjord market. The increasing number of goods from across the Channel, and the growing popularity of steam paddle steamers, made the name Roland Wimbledon often mentioned and the idea of Neverwinter's incomparable wealth deeply rooted in the mind.

The establishment of the joint chamber of commerce has strengthened people's confidence.

Since the big employer is the king of a country, or the kind with great strength, what's wrong with opening the price a little higher?

When the news spread, almost all the people who were still idle in the fjord took action, so that the islands were divided into two factions - the experienced and courageous ones who tried to catch the thunderous fleet, and those who were mainly stable and hoped to hand in good luck set sail for the endless cape to try to occupy a good position in Daqing Harbor.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard for Thunder to imagine that a country across the sea could have such an impact on the fjord.

You know, such changes have only occurred in the last year or two.

"It's all thanks to you," he looked into the distance like a silver wire, "and if you didn't take care of the Chamber of Commerce for me, I wouldn't be able to devote myself to one adventure after another." To be honest, I don't have any strengths other than adventure, not even a good father. I owe you so much of all these years that I have lost all these years......"

"You know, I'm willing to do this," Margaery pressed her hand to the back of his hand, "Isn't it too bad to say that you owe it to someone who doesn't ask for compensation? ”

"Margaery......" Thunder looked back at hers.

"Of course, it's not right to say that you don't ask for compensation at all, I ...... There's still something you want," Margaery blinked, "so you're better off thinking I don't have anything to do, and don't feel like I owe anything." ”

Thunder naturally understood what she wanted.

He had seen Lightning get along well with her in Neverwinter, and he didn't think anything was wrong.

In retrospect, he had long since become accustomed to the existence of the other party.

Strangely, he never hesitated to take risks in the face of hurricanes or waves, but in this regard, he found it particularly difficult to speak.

Just as Thunder hesitated to turn over his hand and grab her palm, the first mate's voice interrupted the two of them alone.

"Chief————!," shouted the latter, standing on the terrace of the bridge, craned his neck, "the caravan is almost ready, just waiting for you to speak!"

Thunder coughed twice, "I heard it! I'll be right away!"

"Great!"

He took a deep breath and looked at Margaery, "It's time to go." ”

"Go ahead," Margaery smiled and nodded, "do what you do best, as Your Majesty said—"

"Well," Thunder continued, "—to the New World." ”

......

Descending the tower and across the bridge, he made his way down the deck to the bow and facing the crowd on the docks.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers rang out below.

Thunder waved his hand, "I think everyone already knows the route we are going to take this time - the farthest place the fjord has been to so far is the line of the Shadow Sea, but for the Vortex Sea, it has just stepped out of the door. This time, we're going to cross the Shadows, over the unthinkable sealine, to the farther east – the empty land that no one has ever trodden!"

"I have seen a very vast land in the Shadow Monuments, no less than the territory of the Four Kingdoms, where is it, could it be just east of the sea line? These are all exciting questions, and we are going to find the answers this time. If it exists, the fjordmen will say goodbye to the narrow and scarce land, and will no longer have to worry about living space! At the same time, it will probably bring us more wealth than all the routes have been put together – which is why I welcome anyone who can do it to join: such a reward is enough for even more people to share!"

He paused for a moment, waiting for the crowd to subside, and then said, "But aside from the golden dragon and fame, I want something else—and that is that the fjord will be remembered by history! There are few references to us in the history books of the Four Kingdoms, and the fjord has neither a century-old family nor a supreme king, and is far away on the continent, like an isolated island, with little influence except for the caravanserais." ”

"But this situation will not last forever, when we open up a new fertile ground for all mankind and bring a broad vision that subverts common sense, history will always record us, and record every explorer who embarks on a fearless journey! I hope you can understand that the significance of this expedition is not only in the present, but also in the future!"

"Raise the sails, guys!" Thunder raised his arms high, "Set sail for the new world!"

Countless hands below followed suit, and the cries of the word resounded through the sky.

"Set sail for a new world!"
