July 16, 1224 in the new continental calendar

On the vast sea, a large sailing ship sails on the blue water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ship was not a merchant ship transporting goods, nor was it a cruise ship carrying tourists, and as can be seen by the skull flag hoisted from the ship's mast, it was more like a pirate ship.

"This month, the harvest has been good. ”

A man dressed in a classic pirate outfit stood at the bow of the ship, looking out into the distance. Wearing an angular hat and a long sword around his waist, he was a strong man who looked very big and powerful.

A hijab member of the pirate behind him walked up at this moment and said in a flattering tone: "Fortunately, the captain was clever at the beginning, and took us to the beach to rob when the Sea Clan was fighting with the Xili Empire, so that we could grab so many rich treasures." ”

What the pirate member didn't expect was that instead of showing joy after hearing this, the captain changed color, pulled his collar angrily, and the whole person was pulled up.

"And then you fools who are oblivious to their wealth robbed in one go, and you didn't even see the situation of the Sea Clan and the Xili Empire standing still, if I hadn't killed a few fools who didn't have long eyes and kicked you back to the ship, would you still be alive until now? If I hadn't needed you as thugs, I would have escaped by myself!"

"Yes, I'm sorry Captain, it's our stupidity, it's our stupidity, if it weren't for you, we would have died. The pirate member's voice trembled, his legs flailing, and he struggled to breathe.

The captain cursed "waste", casually threw the pirate members aside, and continued to look at the endless ocean in front of him.

This sea is located on the south side of the continent, that is, to the east of the small continent, and is a vast ocean area. There are no large islands here, only small islands scattered in various seas and surrounded by seawater. In addition, it is said that one of the Three Realms, the underworld, was opened in this sea area in the past, so after many considerations, no country was willing to govern this sea area, and it became a land with no one to govern.

As a result, pirates, a group of outlaws, were born, dividing the islands and making a living from them, and plundering the shores of the mainland became a major problem for the seaside countries.

"Ship, captain. ”

"What's the?" the captain glared viciously at the pirate crew as they had just stood up and spoken.

The crew pointed to the front of the sailboat with a frightened face, "Ahead...... It seems that there are people. ”

"Anyone? on this sea?"

The captain frowned, he looked down, and did see a man on the sea ahead.

A dark-haired teenager, standing in a small wooden boat, was waving to them.

"It's strange how someone could survive in this sea, and on a broken wooden ship. ”

"Captain, shall we go and fetch him?"

The captain pondered for a moment and nodded, "Anyway, it's just one person, it doesn't hurt to pull him up, just to replenish the number of people." If you resist, you can kill them directly. ”

After the black-haired boy was pulled up, the crew all turned their attention, and the captain walked up to the boy and examined each other with his piercing eyes. With his good fighting strength, he saw that the other party was just an ordinary teenager.

"Where are you from?"

"Cili Empire. The boy replied resignedly.

The captain raised his eyebrows, "Evacuated because of the war?"

"Yes. ”

It was very clear that the captain smiled, although it looked very vicious.

"You only have two options, one is to join us, and the other is to fall into the sea and feed the fish. ”

The young man immediately shouted, "Of course I want to join you, I don't want to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain kicked him to the ground, "Who told you to talk to me so loudly?"

When the surrounding crew looked at it, they burst out laughing.

The stomach was kicked directly, and the young man pressed his stomach and barely made a sound: "Hmm...... I'm sorry. ”

"However, your momentum is not bad, our ship needs a newcomer like you, do a good job, I will not treat you badly. ”

“... Thank you, Boss..."

Because of the new people joining, the captain's mood is a little better.

"What's your name?"

The boy smiled very naturally.

"Wang Xiaoming. ”

This is an episode that took place in the sea some distance from the east coast of the Ciri Empire.

..................... Transition line of sea voyage time............................................................

As the voyage progressed, the members of the pirate ship began to feel that something was wrong.

Because, they have been sailing for a month without seeing the island.

"No, with such a long voyage, according to the usual practice, we can't not touch a single island. ”

The captain was still standing on the bow side, looking ahead with a heavy expression. What made him uneasy was that there was still only a black and blue sea in front of him, and there was no shadow of an island at all. Although there are no large islands in this ocean to the south of the mainland, small islands that are fragmented and scattered still exist, and they also have their own small island strongholds.

However, a month has passed, and they are still floating at sea.

"What the hell is going on?"

The captain asked the crew to take all the compasses they had snatched earlier to guide them in the direction, only to find that all the compasses were erratic and rotating, so angry that he threw all the compasses on the surface of the ship with one hand.

"Bastard thing!"

The crew around him trembled, and stepped forward and asked in a flattering tone: "Captain, what should we do now?" The remaining food reserves on the ship are running out, and they can barely survive three days. ”

After listening to the report, the captain glared at the crew viciously, but then he also calmed down, picked up a broken compass, and asked, "Have the bow of the ship shifted direction since we set sail from the Cili Empire?"

Sailing all the way, there is a strange atmosphere.

"It seems to be ......" The crew looked at each other, and finally responded piecemeal: "No, no." ”

"I haven't changed direction, that is, I've been sailing east, if I've been sailing east from the east coast of the Xili Empire......"

The captain thought as he walked to the bow of the boat and held on to the railing, his eyes gradually shrinking.

"There is only one goal to reach...... It's Dragon Island. ”

The scene was in an uproar.

"Dragon Island?"

"One of the most dangerous places on the continent, a place where dragons gather. ”

"No matter who it is, almost no one who has come back alive has gone to Dragon Island. ”

"Even if we make it back alive, it won't be our little minions. ”

"We're dead!"

Seeing that the crew's emotions were in a panic and that it was getting worse, the captain didn't say a word, and directly drew his sword and hacked the nearest crew member to death, because someone died suddenly, and everyone on the ship fell silent at once.

"Whoever yells again, don't go to Dragon Island, I'll hack him to death now!!!

Sure enough, everyone was "settled".

The captain asked the body to be thrown out of the ship, and scolded: "This is just a guess, it doesn't mean that we will definitely go to Dragon Island, so easy to panic, it's just a bunch of stupid pigs." ”

Everyone lowered their heads and let the captain scold.

"Of course, we can't take it lightly, after all, it's really strange that we haven't seen the island for so long. ”

His tone slowed slightly, and the captain glanced down at the scene and pointed to a young crew member.

"Wang Xiaoming, you come out. ”

"Ah?...... Be. ”

Wang Xiaoming walked out of the crowd, "Boss, is there something wrong?"

"The man who just threw it out, then you can take over his room, no need to hide in the room. ”

"Really?" Wang Xiaoming was still a little scared, but now his eyes lit up.

The captain felt a little amused when he saw him like this, "At the same time, from now on, every hour, you can change the direction of the ship, but don't turn around, just change the direction." ”

"Yes!"

"If I see you being lazy, go down and feed the fish like the man just did. ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely complete the task!"

Wang Xiaoming showed a natural smile.

The captain was finally a little satisfied, and he walked over to the rest of the crew and shouted, "This newcomer is a little stupid, you have to learn from his optimism, you know?"

"Yes. ”

I have to say that Wang Xiaoming's behavior did bring a touch of relaxation to everyone present.

However, when everyone didn't notice it, Wang Xiaoming's smile changed from natural to subtle banter.

Don't worry, I'll definitely take you to Dragon Island. And then at that point, you and the ship will be of no use.
