Chapter 785: A Chance Encounter (I)

The sea outside the harbor,

"Be careful, these are the captain's treasures, if you break one, be careful of being thrown off the ship!" A very large cargo ship. At this time, they were sailing at sea, and in front of and behind this ship were a dozen other ships, but none of them were as big as this one.

This cargo ship, apparently the main ship of the caravan, was a little taller than the others, and the flag fluttering on the flagpole was even more distinct. Embroidered with the emblem belonging to their caravan.

The main cargo ship is divided into three floors, except for the first deck is the cockpit and the crew quarters, the other two floors are places to load cargo.

It's in a cargo compartment on the third floor. But there lived a young man, who was no more than eleven or twelve years old, but he was very thin and malnourished, but his two eyes were very kind.

This is a very smart young man, but because of poverty, he can only temporarily shelter in the cargo hold. And this is already the benevolence of the captain.

According to continental law, stowaways like him, when discovered by the captain, have the right to be thrown into the sea.

However, for the sake of his youth, the captain of the ship apparently did not do so. Instead, Jiku let him fit in the cargo hold.

"Uncle Dam, I know, I'll be careful," replied the boy cautiously

Actually, you don't know that people like us all want to have a good time and be able to settle down, and who really wants to live this kind of wandering life forever?" Talking to this young man, he was a crew member in his thirties, with a big beard on his face, who looked very fierce, but in fact, he had a good heart.

"Uncle Dam, however, my home has been destroyed by the elves, and I can't survive in my hometown, so I want to escape and become a sailor!" The boy lowered his head and whispered.

"Hey...... Elves are really hateful...... Forget it, not far away is Yuanfan Harbor, our destination, if we go back to the ship, you don't go back, and when you want to go back, you have to rely on your own efforts.

"It is said that Yuanfan Harbor is not easy to stay, you only need to find a kind person and take you in, it is best to have craftsmanship, you can work hard for three years, you can be an apprentice, and you will have food in the future" You can obtain citizen status.

"Anyway, there is only one chance, and the captain may not let you get on the boat next time, come, these are two pieces of black noodles

Pack. And a sausage, a bag of water, eat and drink, and go to sleep!"

"I'll tell you when the ship gets to its destination. If you still want to go back, you can go out and have a look when the time comes, don't get lost!"

The bearded crew member said as he handed over two pieces of bread and a sausage.

The little boy hurriedly took the food and water into his hands, and then, the chick pecked at the rice, and said, "Uncle Dam, I know, thank you, by the way, my name is Inami!"

"Okay, Inami, in that case, I'll go up and get busy first, and you can lie here for a while. Next time, Rong will also deliver food and water. Don't run around, the captain is a little unhappy with you now, don't make him angry!" Thinking of this young man's intelligence and stubbornness, before the bearded man went up, he made a special remark, so as not to make a mess of this young man when the time came.

Inami's eyes flashed with power, and he nodded again: "Uncle Dam, don't worry, I will be obedient."

"That's good. Seeing that the young man agreed, the bearded crew was relieved. Step up

In the dimly lit cargo hold, there was hardly any source of light, except for the entrance to the staircase, where light came from above, illuminating some of the scene.

Inami looked at the food and water he was holding in his hands. He sighed and gobbled it up.

Don't look at Inami's small size, but the speed of eating is quite fast. After eating the food, he removed the plug of the water bladder, poured the water into his mouth, and drank several sips

It wasn't until the hysteria had passed that I wiped the tick, and the special water bladder was re-plugged and put aside, no more

Got it.

Seeing that there was no movement on it, he took out a pamphlet from his bosom, and then, walking to the entrance of the stairs, by a little light, began to read.

The above content is very simple, but it is just some simple words, which is a small teaching for literacy

This is already very rare, and for a poor teenager, it is already a great blessing to have a book for literacy.

In this world, any book is expensive, and it is such a simple booklet. If you want to buy it, you need to exchange it for at least one sheep rake, and this price is unbearable for any poor family.

I don't know where I got the booklet in the boy's hand, but no matter how I got it, it was very precious.

"I've read this book a lot of times. I've learned all of the above, and it would be nice if I could have a new book to read. Touching the book that had already been raw, Inami cherished it very much, carefully opened the book page by page, read the words on it, and had a mixed look of anticipation and loss on his face.

It was too difficult for a poor boy like him to get a new book, and even this book, which he had obtained by great coincidence, had been hidden by him as if it were a treasure

Civilians want to gain knowledge in this world. It can be said that it is very difficult, but knowledge and talent are the only way to get people out of poverty and lowly status, and this very paradoxical situation has made many gifted teenagers lose the opportunity to learn and forge ahead in vain.

It's getting a little colder. After reading the book for a while, the young boy put the book back in his arms, walked to the place where he had been accommodating himself on all sides, curled up on a piece of straw, shrunk his body into a ball as much as possible, and then, with his eyes closed, he planned to fall asleep.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, as if something had happened.

The boy had not slept very well, but as soon as he heard this movement, he immediately stood up and walked quickly to the entrance of the stairs, listening to the constant shouting outside, and his expression became nervous.

Look at the situation, the ship he was on. Seems to be in some trouble.

Pushing the door open carefully, he poked his head out from below, and saw that the people guarding there on the second floor had long since disappeared, depending on the situation. They all went to the top.

Inami's curiosity was strong, and he climbed up cautiously, and then, pushing open the wooden door leading to the top, poked his head out to look.

"Quick, the fleet found ahead is getting closer and closer to us, and we can't tell which fleet it is!"

"Man, get ready for battle, if it's really an elf or pirate fleet, we'll have to fight to the death!"

"Damn it, I heard it before. Why is this still happening?

"Who knows, if it weren't for the elves or pirates' fleets, but be prepared!"

"They're close, and everybody is careful. Don't panic just yet

The voices of many people came from above. Inami listened, and finally understood what was happening, and it seemed that their fleet was in trouble.

As soon as Inami heard the elf, he immediately showed a look of hatred, and he immediately snapped and climbed up from below.

"If there are elves, I'll fight them. They killed my mom and dad, and I will never spare the elves for the rest of my life," thought little Inami, who saw a stick and picked it up at once.

"Inami, why did you get up?" said the bearded crew member who had brought him food and water just now, who was busy keeping watch on the deck, was surprised to see him come out of the cabin.

At this time, the captain of the ship walked out, and the bearded crew immediately wanted to speak for the young man, but before he could speak, the captain looked at the stick that the young man was holding, and waved his hand: "Forget it, at this time, there are many people and multiple forces, I will not be careful with him to guard the front!"

"Yes!"

"Sticks don't work, Jik, give him a weapon!" "Yes!"

With the captain's permission, Inami also obtained a weapon, a short sword, which was somewhat heavy in his hand, but at this time, he could not care much about it, far away from the sea. Those battleships have faded from the shadows. It's getting clearer.

Because there have been many incidents of elf and pirate fleets attacking human ships before, these caravan members are very nervous at the moment, for fear that they will really encounter elf or pirate fleets.

Fortunately, however, as the fleets approached them, they discovered that the ships were not owned by the elves, but by humans. Even better, it's not a pirate.

"Which caravan are you?" said a young man as the ships approached their ships, standing on the largest battleship opposite, inquiringly.

His voice was not loud, but it was very clear to the ears of everyone on this side.

The captain of the main ship of the caravan hurriedly replied loudly: "We are the Hanbati caravan, may I ask, is there the port of Yuanfan ahead?"

"Yes, there is the port of farsail ahead, and we are from there, since you are merchant ships. Then go ahead. The young man said with a smile.

His words diluted the nervousness of the people on the side of the caravan, and the captain hurriedly thanked him, and ordered the ship to move quickly.

"They look so imposing!" said the young man named Inami, who looked curiously at the people on the opposite side of the battleship, as the ship passed.

New thoughts began to stir in his heart. However, before he could say anything more, he had already been slapped on the back of the head.

"Little one, what are you thinking about, no matter how majestic you are, you can't do it, do you know who they are? Otherwise, go home obediently! What do you want to be a sailor if you are not qualified to be a sailor, and you still want to become a navy!" said one of the crew members with disdain.

"Yes, it is said that this navy fights elves. And we've won." Someone else said.

"Fight the elves and win, it must be a great navy, if I join it, I can get revenge, right? Inami didn't say anything more, but looked back at the fleet, and there was a hint of determination in his eyes. (To be continued)
