Chapter 212 211. The battle to land on the island (2)
In the early morning, the sun has not yet risen above the horizon.
The hazy white light rising from the horizon has already announced the time in advance.
Scattered small fishing boats set out from various simple ports and cast fishing nets in the offshore area before the large fishing boats were dispatched.
Poseidon Island is an island.
It belongs to the archipelago terrain.
Most of the meat supplies rely on seafood.
Fish, clams, shrimps, crabs, and other kinds, and even spirit beasts, are all delicacies in the sea people's diet. They only need to be processed a little later, and they can change their appearance and be picked up with chopsticks on the dining table.
Sea people are people who live by the sea.
Mountain folk, fishermen, farmers, and many more.
That's what it means.
However, there are also differences between sea people and sea people. Just like a farmer with ten acres of land at home will look down on a farmer with five acres of land at home, among sea people, there are also three, six, and nine grades, with ninth grade being the lower level, and sixth grade being the lower. The third level is the middle level, and the third level is the upper level. There are a total of eighteen special professions.
Among the nine classes, only pearl divers are skilled workers.
The other eight special occupations are all physical labor.
Among the six grades, only Da Da is a manager.
The other five special occupations are all technical positions.
Among the third class, captains are the most common. As long as they have strong strength and rich navigation experience, they can become a big shot in the eyes of most sea people. Among the remaining two special professions, navigators have the highest technical content. Many of the skills in hand have rules that are passed down from male to female, and the status is high. Even the captain must obey the command of the navigator in terms of technology. Of course, if the fish cannot be caught, the navigator will take the blame.
The rarest ones are undoubtedly the Qihai believers.
That is, Poseidon believers who have been blessed by Poseidon.
Poseidon believers, as the name suggests, are people who believe in Poseidon and are recognized by Poseidon. Since in Poseidon's belief doctrine, the sea is the source of everything, therefore, the high priests of Poseidon in the past generations have not prevented these believers from going to the sea. On the contrary, they have even encouraged Poseidon believers. Get close to the sea and help fishermen, including calming down storms, whirlpools, tsunamis and many other harsh environments. This is why all fleets welcome sea praying believers. At critical moments, sea praying believers can really save lives and are the last resort of a fleet. trump card.
However, Qihai believers also have three major shortcomings.
One: Sea Prayer believers are not allowed to participate in fishing.
Second: Believers of Qihai are not allowed to serve in a certain fleet because of money.
Third: Every time they go to sea, the fleet must release live seafood equal to the weight of sea-praying believers from the seafood that has been salvaged.
Despite this, it is difficult to find a single believer in Qihai.
After all, things on the sea are just like things in the air.
Usually nothing happens, but when something happens, it's a big deal.
A believer in praying for the sea, to be honest, would not weigh more than three hundred kilograms at most. Three hundred kilograms of fish would not even account for one percent of the fleet's total seafood income from one trip to sea. Spending a small amount of money to have peace of mind. It is better than encountering a storm, whirlpool, or tsunami and destroying the boat and killing everyone.
And this is the world in the eyes of Haimin.
Ordinary people, they simply cannot imagine the power possessed by the Seven Holy Pillars of Poseidon, let alone the world in the eyes of the Poseidon High Priest. For ordinary people, filling their stomachs is the most important thing.
And of all the options to fill your belly.
Going out to sea to fish is the easiest.
Because of the special environment of the archipelago, the soil here is not suitable for farming.
Although such a large archipelago must have fertile land, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on this fertile land to feed everyone on Poseidon Island. Food is more expensive than meat. This is Poseidon Island.
Among them, the offshore is the fishing and hunting ground chosen by some small fishing boats and small fishermen. The fish here are not big, and the heaviest does not exceed fifty kilograms. The fish are mild-tempered, and there is no need for fishing crossbows in the open sea. The giant sharks killed, even some of them were ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the fishing crossbows were not easy to use. The captain, who was a soul master, had to take action and rely on his powerful strength to drive away the soul beasts.
Within a thousand miles, it is considered offshore.
Thousands of miles away is considered a distant sea.
And today!
At this moment, when the sky is hazy!
On the dividing line that is exactly a thousand miles away!
A small boat came from nowhere, and the bow slowly touched the line and stopped!
The black-haired boy sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat.
The God of Feng is handsome and bright as the sun and stars.
Logically speaking, the black and gold cloak does not match the surrounding environment, but when draped on the young man, it looks more pleasing to the eye than the raincoat.
The people in Mo Shang are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
Even if there is no embellishment of gold, silver and jade, it is still extremely expensive.
The kind that makes people feel the difference at a glance.
However, this is also the world in the eyes of Haimin!
It was the fisherman girl who was rowing on the small fishing boat. After seeing Ye Qingcang's face at a glance, the first thought came to her mind!
"Small fish?" On the back deck of the small fishing boat, an old man with white hair and beard also noticed the momentum of the fishing boat drifting with the current. He put down the fishing net that had not been sorted, walked into the cabin and walked to the front deck. , looked at the back of the little granddaughter in confusion, raised his voice, and repeated: "Xiaoyu, what are you looking at?"
"Ah, grandpa, when did you come here?" The fisherman girl, who looked about twenty years old but was actually only sixteen years old, suddenly heard grandpa's voice and was startled. She turned sideways. It was to talk to grandpa better, and on the one hand, it was also to let grandpa see Ye Qingcang not far away. The deck of the fishing boat was only so big, so it was normal for the line of sight to be blocked: "Oh, by the way, grandpa, look...then... There’s someone next to you!”
"Is there someone?" The old man with white beard and hair looked in the direction pointed by his little granddaughter. He was surprised at first, and then understood. He stroked his long beard. Apart from being pleased, he also felt a little helpless: "Let me just say, I am How could my little granddaughter, who has always been smart, capable, fierce, unreasonable, and full of energy, make such a mistake today? Calculating your age, you should indeed be old enough to fall in love... But as a person who has lived through it, grandpa I have to remind you that a well-matched love is suitable for a family like ours. That young man is not something we can reach for!”
"No, Grandpa, why do you make conclusions about others and us?" The girl immediately became angry, but the strong family affection still prevented her from arguing with her grandfather. She just argued unconvinced: "Our family is not bad at all. , the uncle works in the city, the second uncle is a sailor, and the elder brother is the helmsman of the seventeenth ship of the Panshi Fleet...Look at him again, he only has one small ship, why is he not worthy?"
"You are still young..." The old man with white hair and beard smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know that you young people think that those who ride on big ships are from well-off families. This perception is not wrong, because most of the families are well-off. Rich people all have big boats, but there are exceptions to everything... Look at the clothes on the person, and then look at the configuration of the small boat under the person. As I expected, the clothes are from a complete picture. There were no traces of sewing on the soul beast's skin. Even if there were, the seams that I couldn't see were of an unusually high standard. And there were no oars or any first aid items on his boat. If you look at his condition, he is not panicking at all... He has the confidence to do this!”
The fisherman girl was shocked when she heard this.
Looking carefully again, I saw everything my grandfather said, as well as Ye Qingcang, who took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers and stepped into the sea!
Between the eyebrows, the bloody vertical sword mark shines brightly!
Take a step forward and set foot on a thousand miles of sea!
In the distance, the Poseidon's light that penetrated the sky and the earth seemed to be aware of the provocation of this strange god. Layers of golden ripples visible to the naked eye swayed in the air, and the entire Poseidon Island trembled under the divine light!
