Chapter 4071 on the sea
Zhao Hai took out two jars of wine from his own space. This wine was made during his boring time. Originally, he also liked drinking, so he made some wine. Come.
After a while, all the food and wine were brought out. Zhao Hai and the others filled up the wine glasses. They held the wine glasses on the dragon boat and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we have encountered a great danger today, but now the danger is over. It’s over, we defeated the pirates, and we robbed the pirates’ ship. This is a great event, let’s have a drink together!”
Everyone responded with a cheer, and then raised their heads. Wine glasses, let’s drain the wine together Then they all had another glass of wine, and then they came to the side of the boat with the wine glasses. Captain Long looked at the sea and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, you were born on the seaside, grew up in the sea, lived in the sea, and now you also have souls." Returning to the sea is a good destination. Brothers, let’s toast to you. Have a good journey. It won’t take long for us brothers to go down to find you. Then we will drink together.” After that, he poured the wine into the sea. , the same goes for other people.
Zhao Hai and the others also followed suit. To be honest, Zhao Hai still admires these men in the sea. They may not be very strong, but with their own courage, they can survive. A bloody path was carved out in the sea. It is simply impossible to say which of these routes in the sea did not leave the blood of the men in the sea.
After toasting the deceased with a glass of wine, he returned to the boat and started drinking in earnest. There were a few people running the boat who were not willing to drink.
Everyone enjoyed the meal and drank happily. In the end, many people on the boat drank too much. Although Zhao Hai did not drink too much, he still pretended to drink too much. , went back to his room to rest.
After Zhao Hai woke up, he found that it was still dark. As soon as Zhao Hai came out of his room, he found that almost everyone on the boat was up. Of course, the fat Jade Dragon and the indifferent young man did not come out.
When Captain Long saw Zhao Hai coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, smiled at Zhao Hai and said: "Mr. Zhao, you are awake. If you want to say that the wine you brought out is really good, I will I drank so much yesterday, but I didn’t feel any headache at all. Good wine, good wine. "
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "I still have some here, so I'll give them to you. By the way, there's one more thing I want to give you. This, here." After saying this, Zhao Hai said. After turning over, there was an extra branch in his hand, and Zhao Hai handed the branch to Captain Long.
Captain Long couldn't help but be startled when he saw the branch that Zhao Hai handed over. Then his eyes lit up and he said: "Is this a natural staff?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Yes, a natural staff. , haha, I was taking a risk I got it when I was in danger. I gave it to you."
Captain Long waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this staff is too expensive and I can't afford it. It depends on the length of the staff. and thickness, must be very expensive, I "No."
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "It's okay, I didn't pay for it anyway, just keep it. To be honest, the Kun Whale Staff you gave me is really good. Very useful to me.”
When Captain Long heard what Zhao Hai said, he looked at the staff again, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, then I'm polite. If you return to the Ice Ocean Continent in the future, you must come to find him." Me.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "I will definitely do it."
Captain Long nodded, looked at the natural staff in his hand, and said solemnly: "When I was young, I also used a natural staff. , I didn’t expect it to be useful now, yes, it’s really good.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and didn’t say anything. He looked at the information around him and said in a deep voice: “Is it getting dark again?”
Captain Dragon He nodded and said: "Yeah, it's dark again. We were delayed here for a day, but it doesn't matter. This ship is much faster than ours. When we get to the thick soil continent, it may be faster than now. "
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we are not in a hurry anyway. By the way, if we take this ship to the Houtu Continent, we won't be regarded as a warship, right?"
Captain Long shook his head and said: "No, don't worry. Although this ship looks a bit like a warship, it is not a warship after all. A discerning person can see it at a glance. We merchants use cargo ships, while the military uses Warships, and those pirates use a combination of warships and cargo ships. This kind of ship can't carry as much cargo as cargo ships, and it can't run as fast as warships. But in the same way, it can also carry more cargo than warships, and it can't run as fast as warships. The ship is fast, which is suitable for pirates."
Zhao Hai nodded and said solemnly: "Does the empire really not care about these pirates? How much do merchants lose every year?" br>
Captain Long smiled bitterly and said: "Even if the military wants to control it, they can't. The navy is not as familiar with the sea as these pirates. Once those pirates hide, the navy will not be able to control it at all." I can't find it. Although the navy's warships are faster than the pirates' ships, the navy is not familiar with the sea, so it is easy for the pirates to escape. In addition, the relationship between pirates and sea beasts is very good, and those sea beasts are They are fed out and will attack the ships chasing them. And do you think these pirates are really just individual pirates? Some of them are not pirates, but royal privateers. "
Zhao Hai was stunned, then asked in confusion: "Royal privateer? What is that?"
Captain Long said: "Royal privateer is actually supported by the royal family. Some pirate ships, these pirates are not only better equipped, but they also have privateering licenses issued by the royal family, which means that they can rob legally, and even the navy will not care about them.”
"Legal robbery? How is this possible?"
"How is it impossible? These privateers are actually quite good. Some of them are surrendered pirates. They will also abide by the rules of pirates. If you encounter If the navy goes sailing, you will be out of luck. Pirates are not like pirates. They don't follow any rules. All If we meet them, they will not only rob us all, but no one will survive."
Zhao Hai was speechless. He really didn't expect to encounter such a situation. It's really true on this sea. It is a lawless world, but this has nothing to do with him. He will talk about it after he takes over the Five Spirit World.
Captain Long sighed and said: "It is getting harder and harder to do business at sea now. Fortunately, I have been doing business at sea for many years. Pirates in general have to give me some face, especially the pirates here. , but I haven’t seen the pirates this time. It’s really strange. They all look very unfamiliar, and the most important thing is that they don’t seem to come here to steal things, but to kill people.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "What happened this time, I am pregnant with I suspect it was for Fatty. When Fatty was helping you attack the pirate ship, I discovered that there were many pirates going after Fatty. There were many more people attacking Fatty than you. " Captain Long said. He was stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "Then there is Maybe, if they are really pirates who came here to steal things, then they can't come up and just pierce the ship. You know, even if they pierce the ship, when we fight, everything on the ship will be destroyed. Lost.”
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "They were your ship earlier than us. At that time, Fatty had not boarded your ship yet, but it is very simple to determine whether Fatty is your ship. As long as If you follow the fat man, you will know that he has reserved a seat on that boat. They can arrange for people to board your ship, so that you will not be suspicious."
Captain Long said solemnly: "Mr. Yu is a member of the royal family of Bingyu Kingdom, so someone is targeting Mr. Yu. There's nothing surprising. Hey, we can only be considered unlucky. By the way, Mr. Zhao, I heard Are you going to travel with Mr. Yu?”
Zhao Hai nodded and said: “Really, but I don’t think there will be any danger. After all, it’s a thick soil continent. , it is not the Ice Ocean Continent, the Ice Jade Country is far enough away from the Earth Continent, it is impossible for them to send people Go to Houtu Continent to chase us?”
Captain Long nodded and said: “This is unlikely, but when you come back, if you can still get to Pohai City, you must come. Come to me and I’ll treat you to a nice drink.”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said nothing. Then he chatted a few more words with Captain Long, ate something, and returned to his room.
Early the next morning, Zhao Hai slowly woke up to the sound of boat chants. When he came out of the room, he found that Fatty had gotten up earlier than him, which was rare today. Hang out on the deck.
As soon as the fat man saw Zhao Hai coming out, he immediately came up to greet him and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you got up late today."
Zhao Hai said with a smile: "No. I got up late. It was you who got up early. Yesterday I You got up once in the night. You are so good. You are really able to sleep now, right?” Not coming.”
Zhao Hai laughed loudly and said: "I don't envy you. Come on, let's walk around on the ship, do some activities, and have breakfast later. The ship is so big anyway, and there aren't many things we can do."
When the fat man heard what Zhao Hai said, he also He couldn't help but sighed and said: "No, there are really not many things that can be done now. The ship is only so big. Even if you have fun, what can you do? It's boring." Zhao Hai laughed, but Nothing was said, there was nothing anyone could do about this situation.
In the next period of time, they did not encounter anything. This was not the time for the sea breeze. They just sat on the boat and drove on the road every day. This trip was boring enough. But that indifferent young man rarely comes out of the room and stays in the room every day.
After nearly twenty days, they could already see more ships on the sea. Zhao Hai and Fatty stood on the deck, looking at the ships, with a look of excitement on their faces. , to be honest, after more than 20 days at sea, they rarely saw the ship. The feeling of loneliness was really not something ordinary people could endure. In the end, Zhao Hai and Fatty would also drink with the people on the ship every night. After a few glasses of wine, they now understood why people at sea were so drunk.
Captain Long walked up to the two of them, glanced at them, smiled slightly and said: "We are about to arrive at the Thousand Earth Continent. We will arrive in about three days. Compared with our expectations, it will be five days faster. It’s about two days later, this is because we didn’t leave quickly, otherwise it would have been about two days earlier, but this is pretty good, how about it, are you tired of staying on the boat?”
Zhao Hai smiled slightly but didn't say anything. The reason why he acted like he was annoyed these days was not because he was anxious, but because he was pretending on purpose. In fact, it was only a month's journey, which was really nothing to him. , he does not retreat for more than a month at a time, but on the ship, he cannot blatantly retreat, but this is nothing to Zhao Hai, but in order not to be seen, he can only pretend to be a little annoyed look like.
The fat man laughed loudly and said: "Well, speaking of it, in the first few days of the boat ride, I was very happy and felt everything was new, but as time went by, It’s the same every day, which is really annoying.”
Captain Long laughed and said, “You guys. It’s quite annoying, but we feel good about it, because this kind of boredom also means that nothing happens, which is definitely good news for us sailing people.”
The fat man sighed. He said in a tone: "It's really not easy for you. You are still so happy when you are so bored. Look. This life is not suitable for me to run a boat. Next time I come back, I will take a passenger ship. I heard that there are more people on the passenger ship and it will not be so boring."
Captain Long nodded and said: " It’s true. There are a lot of people on passenger ships, and the environment is much better than on cargo ships like us. There’s a lot of fun on board. Yes, there are pubs, theaters, and I heard there are even brothels and casinos, hahaha, but the cost is also very high. The ticket you bought only includes room and meal money. If you go to those places to play, you have to It costs a lot of money. Compared with the one on our ship, it costs more than ten times.”
When the fat man heard what Captain Long said, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "There are so many, this passenger ship is really expensive. Hey, Old Zhao, if we go to other continents from the Houtu Continent, should we go by cargo ship or go by cargo ship?" Take a passenger ship?”
Zhao Hai said with a smile: “I can take whatever ship I catch. I don’t have too high requirements. Any ship will do. It’s cheaper to be a cargo ship, and it’s more comfortable to take a passenger ship. No more If we are going to be a cargo ship, we must bring some fun things in advance. Uncle Long, I see you also prepare some fun things, such as war beast chess, fishing rods, etc., so that everyone can have something on board. It’s a pastime, so everyone won’t be too bored, right? Otherwise, it would be boring to drink every day.”
Captain Long was stunned, then nodded and said: “This is a good idea. , and what you mentioned is not difficult to prepare, hahaha, yes, yes, I will definitely prepare these things on the ship next time, but Mr. Zhao, Mr. Yu, I can tell you that next time you take a cargo ship, Qian Don’t let anyone know that you have space in your hands, otherwise it will be very dangerous. Some cargo ships will become pirates as soon as they arrive at sea. You must be careful.”
When Fatty and Zhao Hai heard what Captain Long said, they couldn't help but be stunned. Then their expressions changed, and Fatty even said: "Uncle Long, are you telling the truth?"
Captain Long clicked. He nodded and said: "Of course, a lot of people die at sea every year, so you must be careful. They may not use force to deal with you, but they will drug you to make you defenseless."
Zhao Hai and Fatty nodded solemnly.
