Tang Jie's chest was wrapped in a circle of thin, soft gauze, and he stood on the deck, stretching his waist, letting some cold sea breeze blow on his chest.

After three days, Tang Jie's body has improved a lot, although his muscles sometimes have some slight tearing pain, and his muscles and bones still can't exert his strength strongly, but he can finally get out of bed and walk.

From the cabin to the deck, all the way, the sailors saw Tang Jie, respectfully got out of the way one by one, and then sent Tang Jie away with awe-inspiring eyes.

Leaving the Ataq Seas, even a rookie like Tang Jie can find something different.

The skies of Roentgen were not as clear and vast as those of Ataq, and she was like a sentimental woman, often with a heavy look of sorrow on her face.

Although it was morning, the blue sky was clearly cut apart by large dark clouds, and the distance was gray, like an uncertain journey, and when I looked back, the blue sky was as pure as a blue crystal, without the slightest variegation.

This kind of sky resembles the favorite light-dark split lens used in Hollywood blockbusters, using heavy dark clouds and golden sunlight to set off the confrontation between the forces of darkness and light.

Tang Jie looked at the sky and sighed slightly.

Is this a sign of my past and future?

"Don't think about it...... Old Barr didn't know when he had come to Tang Jie's side, due to the injury on his foot, the bearded man walked with a little limp.

This old captain who has been sailing for many years can always easily guess the thoughts of other people on this ship, he patted Tang Jie on the shoulder and smiled gently: "This kind of weather is very normal in the Roentgen Sea. ”

Old Barr looked up at the sky: "It looks like there is a storm waiting for us tomorrow, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Tang Jie felt that Old Barr had something to say, and he asked, "Why should I be mentally prepared?"

Old Barr looked at Tang Jie with blazing eyes, and he smiled and said, "Don't you have this kind of consciousness yet?"

"Enlightenment?" Tang Jie was puzzled.

Old Barr nodded: "Yes, the consciousness of becoming a captain!"

Tang Jie understood that what Old Barr had taught Tang Jie before was the navigation skills that he should master as a sailor, and what the bearded man was going to teach him now would be the basic skills that he should master as a captain.

He didn't speak, but listened intently, looked at old Barr with his eyes, and motioned for him to continue.

Old Barr continued: "There can sometimes be more than a hundred sailors on a ship, but only one can be the captain! Only such a person can be a good captain!"

Although Nia had already explained to Tang Jie the meaning of the captain, Old Barr's words still made Tang Jie a little incomprehensible, and he asked, "Iron-fisted and ruthless, and merciful and generous, don't you think there is a contradiction between the two, Captain Barr?"

"Not at all contradictory. Captain Barr looked at Tang Jie with a serious face, and said in a deep voice, "Child, what you have to remember is that when you become the captain of a ship, you have not only the ship under your feet, but also all the items and all the lives on the ship. Your words and deeds, every decision is related to the lives of this ship and its sailors, and you must be responsible not only for yourself, but also for them!"

"As a captain, you can't be rash at any time! When you should be cold-blooded, you must have the courage and courage of a strong man to break your wrist, even if this decision makes you grief-stricken, life is worse than death! However, if this decision can save your ship and the lives of the vast majority of the sailors on your ship, you should let yourself turn into a cold-blooded demon and unswervingly carry out this decision!"

Tang Jie's heart moved, and he sighed: "So, when you were in the port of Dam, you didn't continue to take risks and wait for me." Because you can't sacrifice the lives of the whole ship sailors because I'm alone......"

Old Barr nodded slowly: "That's right, that's right." So boy, I don't want you to hold a grudge against me for this, like Wells did. ”

"The reason why I parted ways with him in the first place was to confuse Bisselius's sight. But what I didn't expect was that Bisselius had put his main force on chasing him, which led Wells to abandon him by mistakenly thinking that I was using him as bait. Therefore, eighteen years of nurturing grace all turned into hatred and resentment at this moment. "Old Barr has an indescribable vicissitudes and haggard at this moment.

Although Old Barr had already been forgiven by Tang Jie before, he still couldn't help but bring up this matter again, Wells's betrayal was too big a blow for him, and he didn't want Tang Jie to follow in Wells's footsteps.

At the mention of the name Wells, Tang Jie felt uncomfortable for a while, but he still smiled: "I understand, just like when I went to save you, you also asked me to leave you alone, this reason is the same!"

Old Barr stared at Tang Jie's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see through his heart, but in these deep black pupils, he only saw clarity and sincerity.

He really didn't take it to heart.

The bearded man sighed, put down a big stone in his heart, patted Tang Jie's shoulder, and said with relief: "Now you understand why a captain should be ruthless with an iron fist. Then I believe why a captain should be merciful and generous, you should know better than anyone else, because you have done it now!"

Tang Jie smiled slightly and did not speak.

Old Barr put his hand on the handrail of the ship's side and gently stroked it with his hand: "When I first got on the ship, I waxed the deck of this ship every day, smeared the bayonet of the winch with pine oil, and skidded the axle of the rudder with plaster, I have done all the maintenance work of this ship, every corner of it, every rope, every winch, gallows, every sail, I know it all right. ”

"You've just gone to sea, and I don't ask you to be as familiar with every inch of your ship as I am, but at least I want you to remember what I said: love your ship as you love your woman, and love your sailors as you love yourself. ”

Tang Jie listened attentively, and a pair of deep eyes flashed with light, like two bright morning stars.

Old Barr looked at Tang Jie and smiled: "Your life at sea has just begun, and you still have a long way to go!"

"Look, Sicis!" the sailor on the lookout suddenly pointed ahead and shouted loudly, his loud voice not only interrupting the conversation between Tang Jie and Old Barr, but also attracting the attention of the pirates on deck.

The pirates rushed to the side of the deck and shouted excitedly as they looked at the exposed edge of the land in the distance.

"Sisis is here, boy, go get dressed, and we'll go ashore as soon as we get ashore, and I'll take you to pick out a ship of your own!" said old Barr with a smile.

Sisis, the place where the legendary alliance of orcs, dwarves, humans, sea fish, sea dragons, and the Naga fought their first battle with Raphael's mighty legions.

It is said that this place was originally a plain, and the creator god gave it the name Buffettri Sisses, in the language of God, Buffettri means "beloved by God", and Sisis means "plain".

But after a brutal battle between the Six Clans and the Sky Legion that lasted for three days and three nights, Buffettrisis became a devastated battlefield. What's even more terrifying is that the powerful and terrifying giants bombarded the earth's crust with their terrible power, the elves kept releasing magic, summoning meteors from the sky like a storm, and the wyverns and winged people constantly released fire and lightning to the earth in the sky, and the entire continent collapsed in the face of their terrible power.

The continental shelf on which Buffettrisis is located was blown in two, one sinking into the sea and the other into a heavily sunken depression.

Since then, Warren Dietrie Sisis, the "plain favored by God," has disappeared and has been replaced by the "God-forgotten" Sisis.

Once upon a time, Sisis was a barren land where birds and beasts did not inhabit. But as people's footsteps in the sea continued to extend and develop, navigators discovered that Sicis, a place that had been bombed into a depression by the Sky Legion, turned out to be a natural sheltered deep-water port.

It is also adjacent to the Ataq Sea to the south, and to the north is directly connected to the Edra Sea, one of the seven seas, from here to the east, Sisis is the closest port to the Noah continent, and the route from here is also the shortest.

As time went on, more and more navigators chose to use it as a docking point and supply point as a docking point to stop here, whether they were heading north to the Edra Sea, south to the Ataq Sea, or west to the Noah's continent.

As the ships needed to be maintained and replenished, the sailors on the ships had nowhere to vent their energies, and gradually there were docks, ship repair yards, restaurants, taverns, and even brothels.

Sisis has also changed from a barren land to an extremely prosperous commercial seaport.

As soon as Tang Jie walked out of the ship at the port wharf, he could feel a commercial atmosphere blowing in his face, and every short and dark Sisian around him had a strong aura of pride on them.

Proud?

Yes, every native Sicisian, they have a pride of peace and humility.

They have a kind of businessman's unique tact and humility when dealing with people and things, and no matter what contradictions and disputes they encounter, they can always reason with each other amicably.

However, if the other party mentions the two things of shipbuilding and self-made business with them, the Sisians will be uncharacteristically tall-chested and excited. Even if there were people in front of them who stood in front of the invincible imperial capital of the Pound Empire, the Sisians would say in the most contemptuous tone: When we started from scratch in the Sises, the Pound Empire was still five hundred years away from being established!

In particular, when it comes to the shipbuilding industry, which the Sixis are most proud of, the Sisians will say to you in the most passionate and proud tone: Ha, our Sisian ships are different from those bells and whistles in the imperial capital! Their ships are very good-looking, but as soon as the wind and waves come, they can overturn three heels in a row! Look at our Sisitic man-made boat, it is just like us Sisians, short and concise, and can withstand all wind and waves! Put it this way, I'll give you a hammer, and if you can make a mark on my ship, I'll give you a boat for nothing!

Of course, this is an exaggerated self-praise. But the ship built by Sisis is world-famous for its sturdiness and durability, its ability to withstand wind and waves, and its long service life.

Due to the limitations of Sisis' own geographical location, the Sisis shipyard was extremely limited in land and could never be expanded, and they were unable to build large and giant sea vessels. After all their efforts were fruitless, the Sisites abandoned the construction of large ships and specialized in small and medium-sized sea vessels. Their two-masted Sea Serpent-class vessels, Brited Exocet-class seagoing vessels, three-masted vulture-class seagoing vessels and three-masted griffon-class seagoing vessels are some of the most cost-effective seagoing vessels in the world.

Tang Jie stood on the dock and looked around.

I saw that the whole Sisis was like an open pincer, and the pincers on both sides were bare mountain cliffs, forming a natural barrier, and all kinds of sea ships were docked in an orderly manner at the concave arc-shaped port.

The people who are busy walking on the harbor are very similar to the scene of Dam Harbour, but the difference is that even the dock workers carrying their bags here, their eyes are full of freedom and pride, and they are full of vitality.

A few barefoot children came over beside Tang Jie, their skin was tanned, and their clothes were tattered, they gathered around Tang Jie, stretching out their hands and pulling the corners of Tang Jie's clothes.

"Sir, do you need to rest? I'll take you to the best hostel in Sicily, where you can not only eat the most delicious seafood in Sicily, but also play with the most beautiful woman in Sicily, and only one silver coin a night! It's cheap and affordable, don't you think about it, sir?"

"Master, do you want to buy something? I'll take you to the Sicilian trade area, I'm familiar with it, I know the owner of every store, if you buy something, maybe I can help you pay back, a discount or something." ”

"Sir, do you want to buy a ship? I know Director Jack of the Heronrum Shipyard, whether you want to buy a ship or repair a ship, I can help you get the best price!"

These children, who were only twelve or thirteen years old, surrounded Tang Jie and could not move an inch, their eyes were full of innocence and eager expectation, although they were ragged, but they were not dirty and unpleasant.

Tang Jie couldn't ruthlessly drive them all away, he was dizzy by the sound of their chatter, and hurriedly looked at Captain Barr for help.

Old Barr, apparently accustomed to such things, took a handful of copper coins from his bosom and threw them into the sky.

The eyes of these children were immediately attracted, they cheered, and they were busy picking up copper coins on the ground, where could they care about pestering Tang Jie?

Old Barr squeezed his eyes at Tang Jie: "Why don't you go quickly?"
