Chapter 1: The Boy of the Sea

Next Chapter

At the end of the day, where the water and the sky meet, the blood dripping from the remnant sun is stained red, attracting several crows crossing the sea to hover and fly on it. They kept screaming in hoarse voices, which angered the otherwise quiet sea, so they set off a monstrous wave and smashed it into the sky.

Eventually, the sky was smashed into a sieve, revealing specks of light, commonly known as starlight.

Xiang Yu is standing on the deck of the Flying, and like all pirates who seek the other sea, they often look up to the stars to determine their position.

However, this work is generally the job of a navigator, and he is just a floor cleaner on the Fleye.

He looked at the starry sky for a while, waved away the gloom in his heart, and then pushed the rag and continued to swing around Class A, wiping off all the damn moss bit by bit.

There is no moss on Class A, otherwise the next time you fight, you will easily be defeated by other pirate ships because of your slippery feet, so the marauders on board require him and another floor cleaner to clean every inch of the deck, and never allow any moss.

He was a very obedient crew member, and he was very careful and diligent in his work, so after wiping the floor twice, he wiped the floor again, and now the whole deck really didn't grow moss.

"Hey, Xiang Yu, are you done wiping it over there? On the other side of the deck, his good friend Claire waved at him with a rag.

Claire was a young man about his age, seventeen years old, just the right age for sunshine. Claire was good-looking, blonde, with a high nose and two cute dimples, and was recognized as a handsome young man on the Flyer. He is not only handsome, but also tall, at this age he is already taller than most people, and Xiang Yu is still a head shorter than him.

However, although he is tall, his strength is not great.

Xiang Yu looked thin and weak, not tall, and dark-skinned, just like those poor children in the slums. But he has a lot of strength, he has never lost Claire in a wrist wrestler, and the ship generally has to carry goods, and he and Claire are in a group, and he often contributes more.

He was a real man, and his diligence and hard work were his most valuable assets, so although these vicious men on the ship often teased him, they never deliberately made things difficult for him.

It is precisely because of this that he feels the taste of home that he has not seen for a long time on this big ship.

He was an orphan and never saw his parents, and one of his grandmothers died when he was five years old. Since then, he has been a man, begging, doing small jobs, delivering letters, picking up garbage...... Everything he could do, what he could do to support himself, he did.

This kind of days went on until half a year ago, one day he heard a few drinking men in the tavern talking about men's dreams-after the sea, he suddenly had an idea in his heart to go to sea, he also wanted to chase his dreams like a man, he also wanted to go to sea, to be that free sea man.

At that time, the Feiyang also happened to dock at the Pearl Wharf.

He went to the docks, saw the huge behemoth, and the vicious skeletal pirate banner with the knife, and he knew it was time for him to get out of here.

So he simply packed his luggage - a low-quality knife and half a steamed bun - he got on the Feiyang as a floor cleaner.

The Flappy was in need of a floor cleaner, because there were a lot of people on board, but no one wanted to be a floor cleaner, so they wanted him, as well as Claire, the third son of the Don Quixote family, who had just run away from home.

But they didn't know Claire's identity, and Xiang Yu didn't know either, he only knew that Claire must be a rich child, otherwise she wouldn't be able to carry it on her shoulders or lift it in her hands, she looked white and tender, and she was more beautiful than a woman.

At this moment, the friend who was more beautiful than a woman was waving at him, and he stood up with a smile and waved at him as well, "I'm done too." ”

Claire ran over with her tools, revealing her still white teeth, and asked excitedly, "Then today's business is done, let's go see Peng Yu and them gambling, okay?"

Xiang Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, they'll ask us to bet too, I don't want to put all the money into it." ”

Claire said: "Don't be afraid, I have a weapon to win this time." ”

Xiang Yu asked curiously, "What weapon do you have?"

"This one. Claire pulled out a statue of the god of wealth from her bosom, "I've heard many people say that if you want to get rich, you have to worship this." ”

Xiang Yu said angrily: "Are you mistaken, you are not a yellow race, what's the use of worshipping our gods?"

Claire smiled: "You don't understand this, this can show my sincerity, maybe he will take time out to bless me." ”

Xiang Yu smiled, feeling that Claire was thinking too much, how could there be a god in this world, but he didn't intend to discourage Claire's enthusiasm, he just asked, "Where did this idol of yours come from?"

"The last time I caught it, it was a hundred nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor. The captain said, there are a lot of good things under the big sea, I heard that the cities built in the old era are under there, Peng Yu also specially dived down to see, he said that there is a golden mountain below, but it is too deep, so he didn't bring gold up. I guess this statue of the god of wealth was made by the people of that city. Claire was convinced.

Xiang Yu smiled, there may really be gold on the bottom of the sea, but you can't see it, there is no light in front of it, how can Peng Yu see gold, he must be a liar. Besides, if there really is a mountain of gold, with the character of the captain, will he not want to find a way to catch it? Impossible, we are pirates, how can we not want gold?

He looked at this stupid friend, and said helplessly: "You're right, then you can take your God of Wealth to gamble." ”

"You're not going?"

"I don't want to go, I want to save some money to buy some books to read the next time I go ashore. ”

"Books, are you still reading?" Claire looked at Xiang Yu in surprise, as far as he knew, Xiang Yu should not be able to recognize a few words.

"Yes, I want to know about the other sea. Xiang Yu said softly.

"Pihai?" Claire's expression changed, a little excited, "You're also interested in Pihai?"

"It's hard not to be interested. Xiang Yu said speechlessly. As a pirate, everyone who goes to sea is not interested in the other sea, and even says that many people go to sea because of the other sea.

Legend has it that there is a sea in the sea, called the Pihai Sea, which Westerners call the Golden Country or the Golden Sea. It was a fantastical sea, with countless gold, silver, jewelry, and all the things that people could dream of, and even the medicine that brought the dead back to life could be found on that island.

Whatever you want, as long as you enter the other sea, you can get it.

Treasure, power, power, woman, elixir, magic...... Anything you can think of, you can find it on it.

Therefore, every pirate yearns for this, which is also the reason why the era of pirates began.

Xiang Yu is of course one of them, he wants a lot of things, money, power, magic medicine, including his parents, everything he lacks, he wants to have.

So when he heard someone in the tavern say that the sea was magical, he resolutely joined the infamous Flying Pirates and became a floor cleaner.

And Claire has the same idea as him, but what he is looking for is a little different, probably because the young master's days are old, and he wants to try it, but he is as curious about the magical sea as he is.

"Wow, it's hard to imagine that I'm one of the sea chasers, it's so exciting. ”

All the people who go to sea, those who seek the other sea, usually think of themselves as sea chasers, because they think that this title is a bit like a dream chaser, but not as cheesy as a dream chaser, so it has been used all the time.

"By the way, why are you chasing the sea?" asked Claire suddenly.

"Probably nothing, so let's think of everything. Xiang Yu replied casually, and then asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

"I, for the romance of men, enjoy the journey of chasing men's dreams, and want a different wonderful life. "Claire probably watched a lot of dramas like this when she was a young master before, so she made people feel exaggerated and brainless when she spoke.

However, Xiang Yu didn't taunt him, but said: "It's interesting, but now I want to go to sleep, I'm going to chase my dreams." ”

"Oh, please, my good friend, how can you sleep so early? Claire's heart is still gambling, and Pihai is just a temporary outlet for him.

"But I'm so sleepy. ”

"It's okay, we'll bet on three games, and we'll come back if we win or lose three games. ”

Xiang Yu looked at Claire's pleading expression and had no choice but to agree.

The two put away the cleaning tools, then wiped their hands briefly, and bowed to the God of Wealth three more times, before entering Peng Yu's room and preparing to kill the Quartet.

Peng Yu's room was very small, only a few square meters, but it was crowded with more than a dozen shirtless men, who gathered around a small table, and there were two dice cups on the table, which were still compared according to the previous method.

The two sides shook the dice cup in front of them to determine whether they won or lost, and the people next to them could also join in the fun and bet on who would win.

Claire pulled Xiang Yu under the belly of the two shirtless men, and then peeked out of the table with two small heads, four eyes grunting as the dice rolled, and then were crushed under the dice cup.

"Buy big and buy small, buy and leave." ”

Claire and Xiang Yu glanced at each other, and immediately took out their wives' books and threw them on the table.

"I'm betting small!" Claire said loudly.

"I'm betting big. Xiang Yu also said loudly.

The two of them added up to only ten sea coins, and their voices were louder than those around them who bet on hundreds.

Peng Yu wiped his beard, two leopard eyes stared at the two little guys, and said angrily: "What are you here to make a fuss?

Claire said: "What's wrong? You didn't say that you can't play with less money, I'm going to play what's wrong." ”

"No, no, no, the money is too little to be on the table. Peng Yu's greasy big hand pushed back the pitiful sea coins, preventing Claire from comparing them with Xiang Yu.

Claire quit, "Why don't you let me bet, I'm going to bet." As he spoke, he pushed the money over again.

"If I say no, I can't. Peng Yu glared.

"You...... Okay, how much do you say to get to the table?" asked Claire in compromise.

"At least fifty. "Peng Yu wants to be present at a hundred, and fifty is already low.

Claire was a little embarrassed, he only had twenty-eight sea coins on him, and there were no fifty at all.

"If you don't have any money, get out, we're going to go. Peng Yu saw Claire's embarrassment, and waved his big hand to prepare to drive people away.

"I have money. Xiang Yu didn't want his friend to be embarrassed, so he took out all the money on his body, a total of twenty-three, plus Claire's before, a total of fifty-one, just enough for one more.

Claire was overjoyed, and immediately gained confidence in her words, "How about now? ”

Peng Yu snorted lightly, "Place a bet." ”

Claire pushed all the money to the word "small", but Xiang Yu said: "I think it's big." ”

Claire shook her head and said, "Impossible, it's definitely small, I touched the God of Wealth just now, and he agrees with me." ”

Xiang Yu is speechless, how can the God of Wealth agree with your words? Is it cracked?

"Okay, it's all done, then buy it and leave it, I'll open it!" Peng Yu's big hand landed on the dice cup, and then took the dice cup away violently.

Before everyone could see the number of the dice, suddenly the ship shook violently, and then the whole thing shook, and then the alarm of the brass bell striking outside was heard.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"

"Take the guy, there is a sneak attack ......"

"Kill......"
