Chapter 1: The Adventure Party
The sea is a place full of unknowns, ideals and enthusiasm for every young navigator with dreams. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info You don't know what you'll encounter in this blue, you don't know when you'll become famous overnight, and you don't even know if you'll die in the next moment.
But most men are like this, in this era of magicians, any decent man will not be willing to spend his life quietly, it should be a man's nature to take risks, pursue the life he wants, and let the world know himself with his own strength, that is a life worth pursuing.
But for Boss Shi, who has a scar on his face, things are not like this at all. Although his dog meat shop is located in the big port of departure, and most of the people who come to eat dog meat are magicians who participate in exciting sea adventures, for him, a tall man with a slender muscle of 1.9 meters, adventure is the stupidest thing in the world.
Sometimes guests will ask him, "Boss Shi, you have such good physical fitness, and you also learned some magic when you were young, why don't you take risks?"
Boss Shi would smile with a smile that even he felt a little disgusting, and in his heart he was thinking: Come on, what this kind of fool only does, I will leave it to you to do well.
This is the truest thought in his heart.
Although before him, when he was not Boss Shi, he didn't think so.
At that time, he was also a young man, and he was also a little magician, with a good talent, and he had not yet started killing dogs......
At that time, he was not called Boss Shi, his name was Stanley.
Stanley, a foreign name, will cause a heated discussion every time it appears in the adventure team of Queenshaven.
"Is this from a foreign country?" someone would look at him curiously, but when they saw his black hair, they would cover their mouths and smile secretly.
And such an expression always hurt Stanley's heart a little.
Six years ago, Stanley was just a seventeen-year-old. He has been on a seafaring expedition for two years, and although he has not yet participated in adventures of much magnitude, he is already a very small person in the eyes of his peers.
He didn't expect that one day, under this blue sky, he would meet another young man younger than himself in the door of the famous sword-shaped travel gang gathering platform, the Jianyuan Bar.
No, it's more appropriate to say teenagers than youth.
The guy who called himself Wang Datian, who had neither cute tiger teeth nor a handsome face, dared to write his own notice on the bulletin board of the bar with only a fairly sturdy body: Looking for a partner who went to find the pearl of water together, do not disturb if you are not sincere.
The pearl of water, that is a legendary jewel on this sea. Although it is said that it is a bead with bad luck, and it can only produce a ten percent bonus to the cultivation speed of water cultivators, in general, it is not very cost-effective. However, it is precisely because of its rarity and irreplaceability that it has also become a high-priced treasure hunt.
Many people come to the sea for adventure, in addition to the thrill and fame, wealth is of course one of the most important contents. It is precisely because of this that although there are not many people who want to hold this kind of thing that can be sold at a high price, there is no adventurer who does not want to take it and sell it.
It was because the boy wrote such content that Stanley looked at him differently.
If you look closely, he is a very ordinary-looking teenager. People don't seem to have much special, and if it weren't for the immature face revealing his super young age, then he really wouldn't have noticed this teenager very much.
With a bit of curiosity, Stanley came to the young Wang Datian. "Hey, what are you capable of?" he said in the tone of a casual greeting between his companions, and then, with a wave of his right hand, a black wand appeared on top of his right hand.
If you look closely, it's clear that it's a dog-beating stick.
How could there be a teenager using a dog-beating stick as a weapon? With such a sense of disobedience, Wang Datian couldn't help but laugh softly.
Stanley waved the dog-beating stick in his hand into the air on his chest and said, "What are you laughing at, this is what I materialized with my magic power." People who can do this at this age are very little known. ”
Hearing this, Wang Datian really couldn't laugh.
After a pause, he stretched out his hand and said, "You are very powerful, it's nice to meet you." Would you like to be my partner?" he said suddenly.
The "uh......" request was a bit abrupt. According to Stanley's thoughts before he came over, he just wanted to get to know this young man who seemed to be a little stunned, but he didn't expect that how things would become the way they are......
After thinking for a while, Stanley said, "I can't promise you. He said, "I can't promise you until I know your strength and know you well enough." ”
The reason why he said this was nothing more than to provoke this young man. He wanted the boy to show his abilities with all his might, and let Svanley know about the boy's thoughts and character before deciding whether to continue to be friends with him.
In the adventurer's team, there are always "adults" in their twenties, and it is rare to have a peer of the same age as himself, and he doesn't want to miss such an opportunity to have fun.
"Oh, okay, I'll find someone else then. ”
But he didn't expect that Wang Datian didn't have the character to play cards according to the rules of the cards, he didn't convince Stanley, but said so, and walked past Stanley. He went to a high chair by the window at the adventure bar, jumped up and sat down, and sat there like that.
The waiter came, he ordered a drink, and drank it slowly.
It was as if he could drink an adventurous companion with such a drink.
Now it was Stanley's turn to be anxious, he walked up, sat down opposite Wang Datian, and said, "Hey, don't you think it's strange?
In his eyes, Stanley believes that to take risks together is to face a lot of unknown worlds together. If you don't have a certain understanding and consensus, who will fight with you for this kind of.
But the answer he got was not quite the same, Wang Datian just said: "I don't know so many rules. I just knew I had no turning back. If you don't want to go on an adventure with me, then I'll have to go to someone else as soon as possible. After a pause, he added: "Because in my opinion, going on an adventure and finding the pearl of water is not an option to choose when life is boring, it is something that must be done." He looked at Stanley like a doll, and said, "Maybe you're too young to know much about such things." He shrugged, "But that can't be helped, I can't explain much to you." After some years of crippling, you will slowly understand my thoughts. ”
This arrogant guy thinks he is!
This was the first thought that came to Stanley's head. At this time, he no longer dared to think about the idea of "whether the other party has enough strength" that he had thought before, he was like a little man who had lost himself and urgently needed the other party to prove himself, and said: "Really, you guy, why do you look down on people so much." I'll tell you, I'm really in trouble with you, no matter what, I must join your team today!"
Five minutes later, when Wang Datian smiled and walked out of the tavern with Stanley as if he had picked up a treasure, Stanley realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.
For some reason, he had the feeling that he had been on a thief ship by mistake.
And everything that follows also shows that his judgment formed in the adventure actually has a certain degree of predictability.
At night, Wang Datian and Stanley stayed in a small private hotel next to the harbor. The two of them lived in a standard small double room, and both young men had taken a shower early, and then nothing happened. Wang Datian was cutting his toenails while picking at the dead skin on his feet. From this point of view, he is no different from a dead boy.
Stanley came out of the bathroom while rubbing the water droplets on his head with a towel, and asked, "Hey, boy, to be honest, why are you so ignorant, that water bead is a treasure that many adult adventurers can only want to get, how dare you think about it as a little kid?"
As he expected, Wang Datian once again brought out that set of theories and said: "Some things in life, whether you want to or not, need to be done. This is the fate of life. After a pause, he added, "You know, not everyone is so lucky to choose their own life. ”
I don't know if it was because he wanted to be cool, he faintly tilted his head upwards forty-five degrees, although at this angle he could only see a spider web on one of the beams of the room. "Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who can't choose their own life," he said. ”
Stanley was upset at this time, jumped forward, and tried his best to hold the other party's neck with one hand, just to give this pretending man a good look.
Unexpectedly, the man's right hand just pushed him hard and pushed him away like an ant. Stanley is like a pebble pushed forward by the wheels of history, although he has exhausted his strength, it is of no use at all.
"Are you from the strengthening system?" Stanley, who obviously sensed the direction of the other party's magic, was a little interested at this time.
The people in the reinforcement system are often mostly village villagers. To put it bluntly, this is not a magical clan that requires some noble bloodline to have. This ability is neither weak nor strong, and you can meet people with this ability all over the world.
Wang Datian sighed leisurely like a veteran knight who had been hidden for a long time and was discovered, and said, "Okay, since you have found out, then I will no longer hide it." To tell you the truth, I am indeed a strong person in the reinforcement system. ”
His serious tone was faintly tinged with a faint sense of humor.
Stanley knew that only a man in a silent realm could produce such an optimistic spirit.
At this time, it was not so much that he was moved by Wang Datian's sense of humor, but that he was moved by Wang Datian's indifferent feelings.
If you're going to sea from Queenshaven, there are honestly thousands of routes to venture out. Each route has a place in the Treasure Hunting Realm. According to the previous warriors, each route also has the existence of legendary treasures.
Of course, some of these legends must be true and some fake, and as for whether they are true or false, that is only left to the adventurers who choose the route to judge for themselves.
This time, Stanley saw that Wang Datian chose a route known as the "entertainment line". The route is said to be more of an entertaining tour than an adventurous route that takes you through the blue sea, the desert by the sea, beautiful islands, and paradises.
A few years ago, many warriors chose to take this route for adventure, but nowadays, this route has almost been abandoned, and now it is only reserved for those rich children to experience the adventurous life.
Seeing that his companion proposed this route, Stanley couldn't help but say with some disdain: "No, brother, do you want to choose this route?"
Wang Datian took the brother on the adventure ship, and said softly: "Okay, I have my own arrangements, you better don't talk nonsense, just follow me with peace of mind." ”
was so hastily arranged his schedule, Stanley felt a little helpless.
"Well, no matter what," he said to himself in his heart, "if you really see the wrong person, then take it as a trip to lie down, and when you go out to travel." ”
In any case, all the expenses of this adventure were paid by Wang Datian, which was a condition that the two had already negotiated. As the payer of the fee, Wang Datian also has a favorable condition, that is, the income from the treasure hunt, he takes seventy percent of Stanley and three percent.
The boat that the two of them are riding on now is called a "bus boat" in the jargon of adventurers. It is a fixed route, which is most suitable for travelers or low-cost adventurers like Wang Datian. You don't have to pay for your own independent boat and crew, because the ships follow a fixed route, as long as you want to go down to the island, just say it, and the big ship will go after getting off the ship. Then you have enough fun on the island, when you want to leave, and when a passing boat comes, put a generic signal and the boat will know to pick you up.
Maybe it was the first time to take a boat, although this big ship was a good equipment in that era, but it was still very shaking for Wang Datian. No way, no matter how good the workmanship is, it is compared with the modern kind of ship that is not much different from the land, and this ship is still shaking in a panic.
At the beginning, Wang Datian was still playing on the boat in a very novel way, he leaned on the railing, thinking about his life. But in a few moments, he felt his stomach feel so sick that it was like the sea churning in his stomach. After a few moments, he called Stanley to help him back into his room, and he rushed into the bathroom, throwing up a hearty wrench.
Ten minutes later, while wiping the dirt from his mouth, he whispered, "Wow, this boat is amazing...... Before he could finish speaking, his face changed again, and he rushed into the bathroom again.
This time, it was another uproar......
This state lasted for about half a day, and it was not until the night that Wang Datian ate some food. When he heard about the dinner on the ship, he didn't raise it at all......
On the second day, looking at Wang Datian, who was still lying on the bed weakly like a patient, Stanley really doubted once again whether he had followed the wrong person. He reached out and touched Wang Datian's forehead and said, "Hey, brother, you have a little fever." Then he looked at the man in front of him again with suspicion, and said, "Are you really a traveler? Don't pretend, tell the truth." Even if I knew you lied to me, I wouldn't scold you. ”
Wang Datian gave the other party a blank look, and thought to himself, when I get better, see if I don't abuse you well.
With such an idea, Wang Datian, the leader of the adventure group, couldn't help but play the role of the weak who was taken care of. His three meals a day were basically delivered by Stanley, and he didn't see him do anything other than get up and do a few rehabilitation-like exercises. It wasn't long before he called Stanley to him, and like an old man who was about to die, he confessed his fortune to his grandson, and said, "Where is the ship now?
It can be seen that Wang Datian does not have a map of himself in his mind. After having this thought, Stanley's heart was a little more relieved.
And in the midst of this somewhat boring journey, on the third or fourth day, something happened that is worth mentioning.
On this day, Wang Datian and Stanley had breakfast and walked up and down in the guest corridor of the shipyard. Because it was raining, the two of them regarded it as a simple exercise and exercise on a rainy day.
If it's just exercise, it's just that, the big deal is that two stinky otaku sweat out, hurt each other a few words, and then go back to the room to sleep or kill time without accomplishment. But when they walked past the door of a small room service room, they were so immortal, but they encountered a fragrant scene......
