In the sky, the dark clouds that covered the entire sky were pressed by the strong wind, and the torrential rain slowly pressed down, as if it was about to crush the sea.

On the surface of the sea, the rolling waves were like the palm of the demon god, throwing the thousand-ton cargo ship around like a toy, and the mournful cries of many crew members who unfortunately fell into the sea could be faintly heard in the wind and rain.

When lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating the distorted faces of those who had fallen into the water, everyone in the caravan clearly felt the taste of despair.

"Leave the cargo, we must leave the cargo to reduce the weight of the ship, otherwise we will all die..."At the last moment, the human desire for survival finally triumphed over the order of greed and social inferiority, and several young sailors on the flagship of the fleet tied themselves to the mast with cables could not hold back the panic in their hearts, and told the most direct and simple way to save the life of the ship in a desperate situation.

As soon as the words were spoken, the icy rain rushed into the mouths of these sailors, choking them and coughing heartbreakingly, but with the 'picker', the old sailors and even the veteran fleet guards with several years of sailing experience immediately shouted, "That's right, if we want to live, we can only throw our cargo into the sea...", smashed open the cargo door and began to throw the priceless Hell specialties into the sea.

Seeing the frantic actions of the sailors and guards from the window, Vitas opened the door with trembling all over his body, and shouted angrily: "I don't want to live, you don't want to live anymore, this is the cargo of the 'Golden Velvet Flower Firm', if you dare to leave it in the sea, try it...", but his hands clutched the doorknob in the cabin, and he didn't dare to go to the deck at all.

At such a life-and-death juncture. Of course, the middle-aged merchant's cowardly and powerless prevention could not have any effect, and I don't know if it was an illusion or a real effect, after leaving some goods, the crew and guards of the caravan flagship felt that the wooden ship under their feet was really much more stable.

So they threw all the things in the warehouse that could be thrown away by manpower into the sea, just as a kilogram of weight can be reduced to give one more hope of life.

After a night of exhausting all his might to fight for that insignificant glimmer of life, everyone was stunned when the rain clouds gradually dissipated, the sea slowly returned to its calm appearance, and the warm sunlight shone through the clouds on the deck. Then he sat down on the ground in ecstasy and shouted hoarsely, "Victory." We survived, hooray, we won...";

"I survived, I survived. Ha Lu Ha... I have been adrift at sea for twenty years. I've never heard of such a big storm. It turned out that he survived, Ha Lu Ha...";

"This must be the protection of the goddess of the sea, Tina Silk, if not for the help of the gods. Yesterday we will surely die at the bottom of the sea, and I will pray to you more sincerely in the future..."

Hearing the noisy cheers outside the cabin, especially when someone began to pray to the gods of faith, Zhang Lisheng pursed his lips and tied a sturdy and simple animal skin bag, hung it on his waist, turned around and strode out of the door.

The sky was still drizzling wet, but the sea breeze had long since lost the suffocating frenzy of storms, and was refreshing and pleasant.

Walking around the deck and looking out into the sea, there were less than twenty tattered caravans left of the caravan of hundreds of cargo ships, and the only reason why these survivors were not destroyed by the terrible tsunami last night was that the young man consumed three faith gems and quietly saved them.

In fact, without the strength of burning the Stone of Faith, Zhang Lisheng could save the flagship of the fleet, and even in order to cover people's eyes, it is not impossible to save two or three more cargo ships, but in that case, it is too easy for people to see the flaws.

For the sake of prudence, after thinking about it, he finally used the 'strategic reserve' of the Faith Gem, and when he thought of using up the three Faith Stones for no reason, the young man unconsciously touched the animal skin bag on his waist and sighed secretly.

Fortunately, Zhang Lisheng was very satisfied with the effect of releasing the Faith Gem, and the feeling that the world was in control could be said to have determined the goal of his first step, and when he was reminiscing, the young man suddenly heard a hoarse and sharp shout, "It's gone, it's all gone."

Except for the ballast wood, all the other goods have been lost by you, do you know how much gold is worth, a city, can buy the wealth of a small city is thrown into the sea like this, according to the "Maritime Law" you have to compensate, compensate..."

"Mr. Vitas, it was Anozzi and Sandra who first mentioned the way to save their lives, and we just did it, and I saw that the other cargo ships in the caravan also threw their goods into the sea, I'm afraid that the merchant ships that escaped the tsunami were just like us, and there was only wood left in the cargo ships, and everyone was the same.

Besides, you didn't go on deck to stop us from throwing our cargo into the sea during the tsunami last night, and now you are out of danger, and you rely on this method to save your life, but you let us compensate, although I am just an ordinary old sailor, I don't know what the "Maritime Law" is, but if you want to sue us for this crime, I'm afraid the Sailors' Guild will not agree.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will damage your reputation and that of the firm. ”

"It's Mr. Vitas, there are only a dozen or so of the one hundred and nine cargo ships left, and anyone knows how dangerous last night's storm was, and I don't believe the judge will convict us if we lose our cargo and save our lives in that case. ”

"Yes, yes, usually the guild doesn't come forward for us, but I don't believe that no one will care about this kind of thing..."

The middle-aged merchant was speechless, especially when he heard the word 'reputation', he felt that the strength in his body quickly disappeared without a trace as if he was slowly being pulled away, and he slowly collapsed on the deck like mud.

Vitas knew that if he was facing a sailor, he could easily crush him, but when that number became hundreds, his position was not enough to turn black and white upside down.

Thinking of the loss of this voyage, the middle-aged merchant felt a little desperate, calmed down and calculated carefully, in fact, he lost the goods, after all, although the value of those Hell specialties was high, they were exchanged for slaves, and if he was lucky, he might be able to offset it with the wood left on the cargo ship, at most he took a risk in vain.

But the large cargo ships in the caravan that belonged to the powerful families they represented were worth incalculable, and now that they had destroyed so much, even if the tsunami was an irresistible natural disaster, how could they escape punishment.

When the middle-aged merchant was worried about his unpredictable future, some of the sailors on the side had no intention of looking east, and suddenly shouted in amazement: "Then, is that my delusion or is there really a harbor, or is it a mirage?"

A bearded man who sat shoulder to shoulder with the exclamation sailor heard what he said, stood up in surprise, rushed to the bow of the ship and put up a pergola to look at it carefully, then turned his head and shouted in ecstasy: "That is the wall of Heinhemann, not the 'picture' painted by the devil in heaven, our ship has returned to the city of Heinheimman." ”

There are many legends in the city-state of Catama that they were swept by storms and waves overnight and drifted thousands of kilometers overnight, but it is unheard of to have maintained a direct return course due east.

At this time, even the sailors who did not believe in ghosts and gods muttered in their hearts, and when the fleet docked in the harbor outside the city, almost everyone whispered in their mouths to thank the goddess of the sea, Tinaroth, for her grace.

The caravan of a dozen or so large, giant cargo ships was unremarkable in the port of Heinheimmann, known as the 'vice-capital' of the city-state of Cataman, but all the ships were in a dilapidated state that seemed to be about to fall apart at any moment.

Soon the shore was crowded with idlers, standing under the huge sailboats, whispering and looking up, mostly strong laborers waiting to load and unload their goods in the harbor, and the rest of them happened to come to the harbor to watch the lively trading houses and their bosses.

"Vi, Mr. Vitas, is this your 'Golden Seagull'," under the gaze of everyone, the lucky ones who escaped by luck followed the suspension ladder, and the broken suspension ladder relied on the cable, and they disembarked one by one, and when it was Vitas' turn, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd: "You, you have encountered a tsunami?"

"Yes Mr. Savage," Turning his head to look at the unsightly giant ship behind him, Vitas quietly took a deep breath, resumed his contrived posture and followed the direction from which the voice came, and smiled at a short old man dressed in bright silk clothes with thinning hair, "A terrible storm that has been difficult to anomalous for hundreds of years, and there are only these few return voyages left of more than a hundred large ships,

It is thanks to the protection of Tina, that I can speak to you now. ”

"Oh my God, more than 100 large cargo ships have come back and sixteen, and the 'Golden Velvet Flower Firm' is really a heavy loss!"

"Not all of the lost cargo ships belonged to our trading firm, and the ships that returned to the sea were also loaded with timber from the prison sea, so the loss was acceptable. Vitas said pretending to be reserved.

"Wood from the Sea of Hell is a sought-after commodity, and you can always find 'good things', and if possible I would like to book two boats for whatever price you want. Hearing the profit, the short old man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't care about comforting his unlucky counterpart, and said with a smile.

"Twenty-five gold coins on one side, you can pay for the goods first, I have discovered a new trade route, and obtained the right to trade with a tribe of hell, and this kind of wood will be as much as you need in the future. The middle-aged merchant said boldly: "Okay, Mr. Savage, that's it, I'm going back to the trading house first."

The loss of this trade is very large, and I will report it to the owner as soon as possible. He strode out of the port.

The harbor covers a huge area, and along the way, Vitas took off his hat from time to time to salute the merchants he knew, and did not show the slightest appearance of being angry and ruined on the ship, but when he turned out of the port and turned into a remote alley, the spirit of the middle-aged merchant suddenly collapsed, and he showed a bitter smile that was more ugly than crying to the black-haired young man who had been following him.
