On the vast sea, the wind swept up the dark clouds, and between the dark clouds and the sea, there was a small boat that walked alone.

The ship was not built of old logs or driftwood from the sea, but was firmly nailed from sturdy wood.

The crevices of the planks are filled with hemp and asphalt, while its sturdy mast and sails dangling the pulley block ensure that one can easily navigate it in a storm.

The hull is also a scaly structure, nailed one by one with teak planks, which is strong enough to sail the most complex seas.

Every part of the boat is so delicate and sturdy that it passes through the waves with only a slight squeak and the sound of the waves crashing against the bow.

Of course, although the boat is good, in fact, "the sea sails by the helmsman" - the real reason for its safety in the storm is actually the young blue dragon sitting in it.

The "generous" benthic demon fish councillor was able to completely reveal the plane coordinates of the "island world" in a few days under the "good temptation" of Queth's psychic ability.

And after repeated screening by the young blue dragon, he was sure that in the memory of this benthic demon fish, that "island world" had not yet given birth to a real god.

Even the "camel god" who made the "Council of Seven Cheeks" quite jealous, his real strength did not reach the entry standard of weak divine power. It was through a contract with an Elemental Plane power that his priest was able to use the magic of transforming the landscape and creating deserts on a large scale.

In the multiverse, there are almost no material planes that are hated by the gods like the Ash Worlds - although the island world has ancestral spirit worship, it is both loosely organized and lacks guidance for believers, so not even a single primordial god has been born.

Upon hearing this news, Quest immediately discovered the value of the island plane.

The young blue dragon is confident that whether it is directly taking a piece of the pie in the process of sea and land hegemony in the island world, or by contacting the indigenous civilizations that have suffered from the invasion of benthic demon fish, and promoting the cross-dimensional trade of the "Scales of Eternal Order" Chamber of Commerce, he can make a lot of money with his own strength.

After making the necessary preparations: purchasing a costume made of shark lizard skin, assembling it into a sailing boat, and calibrating the interdimensional summoning spell with the half-lich Snead, Quest teleported directly from the Leviathan to the island world.

Not surprisingly, in this plane with the ocean as the main body, the place where the young blue dragon appeared was a vast ocean called the open sea. Thanks to the dimensional knowledge he had squeezed from the benthic Moss Councillor, it didn't take him much time to locate himself.

Disguised as an ordinary mortal wanderer, he steered the boat to the nearest human settlement.

In order to make himself look more like the natives of this world, Quest also caught some sea fish and put them in the cabin. With this ballast, the already sturdy boat sailed a little more steadily when navigating the waves.

The young blue dragon in human form stood upright beside the mast, the wind blowing in his face and the torrential rain on his head, and the raindrops still flowed down the skin clothes of the shark lizard and fell into the cabin.

But he seemed at ease, and in fact Quest did enjoy the pleasure of learning to steer the boom in the storm.

In the beginning, Quest couldn't get a good grasp of the angle of the sails, and the hull would always tilt involuntarily. If it weren't for the force field control ability to escort it, this small ship from a distant heterotopic plane would have capsized many times.

However, after mastering the general rules of sail angle, and learning how to maintain the balance of the entire hull by leaning out of the cabin and adjusting the center of gravity, it was time for the young blue dragon to really enjoy the pleasure of driving.

The sail is gently adjusted to the optimum angle thanks to the combination of cables and pulleys. Whether downwind or upwind, the triangular sail can be very full, driving the boat to ride the wind to break the waves.

In the midst of the storm, Quest and his boat galloped through the vast expanse of the sea like petrels, like swordfish, like any indomitable creature capable of enjoying the pleasures of the storm.

Of course, not everyone is as happy as he is at this time—for those who are unable to resist the power of nature, the storm roars like a demon, and the shower is like the poison of the devil's soul.

"Help!"

As Sneijder had made himself a constant tongue trick, Quest understood the cries for help from the storm. He adjusted the sails and steered the boat towards the place where the sound came.

A half-grown boy crouching on a canoe made of reeds appeared in the field of vision of the young blue dragon, judging by the fishskin costume on his body, he should be a fisherman who begged for a living in the sea all year round.

Quest carefully controlled his boat and approached the soaking boy who was holding the reed boat and desperately begging for help. Leaning down and grabbing the little fisherman, he took him by the shoulders and carried him into his boat.

"Thank you...... Thank you," the boy was in a trance for a moment before he learned that he had been rescued, and he looked at the armor on which Quest was wearing a thick tarrizard skin, much like the skin of a shark in the sea, hesitated for a moment, took out a few metal discs from the small leather pouch hanging from his neck, and handed them over: "These steel coins are all my belongings, and the ring base is not far from here, so you should be able to pay off the cost of sending me back." ”

The thin metal disc that the boy called "Steel Coins" was not the hexahedral steel currency commonly used in the Shura Field of the lower planes, but a currency that was able to circulate among the surviving "floating raft people" and empires and federations in the island world after the cataclysm.

Compared to the highly developed human kingdoms of the past, despite hundreds of years of development, the camel empire and the polar bear federation are not comparable to the humans of the past in terms of smelting metals, and steel is still a scarce resource for them.

Of course, the "floating raft people" whose civilization inheritance has been cut off are also not capable of smelting metals, and they only occasionally have the opportunity to salvage some steel artifacts of ancient human kingdoms that have sunk at the bottom of the shallow sea in the process of drifting with ocean currents every year, first scraping off the rust on their surfaces, and then cutting them into valuable steel coins.

In the beginning, the "floating raft people" would use this currency when trading with camel people and polar bear people, but as steel became scarce, the surviving humans also consciously controlled the outflow of this currency.

They would use steel coins as a symbol of wealth - collecting enough steel coins and smelting them to forge weapons and tools made of steel, which was undoubtedly very useful for those who were struggling to make a living at sea.

Quest didn't take the fare the boy had handed him, he just picked up a steel coin and looked at it before returning it.

"Show me the location of the Ring Base, where I'm going to procure supplies. ”
