Zhao Hai took out two jugs of wine from his Space. He made these jugs of wine when he was bored. Originally, he liked to drink, so he made some wine.
Before long, all the dishes were brought out. Zhao Hai and the others filled their cups with wine. Then the captain of the Dragon Boat said, "Everyone, today we encountered a great danger. But now, the danger has passed. We defeated the pirates and seized their ships. This is a joyous occasion. Let's drink together!" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Everyone, today we encountered a great danger. But now, the danger has passed.
Everyone responded, then they raised their cups and drank the wine. Then they poured themselves another cup of wine before they went to the side of the ship. Captain Dragon looked at the sea and said, "Brothers, you were born by the sea, you grew up in the sea, you sought survival in the sea. Now, your souls have returned to the sea. This is a good place to return to. Brothers, let us give you a toast. Have a safe journey. It won't be long before us brothers go down to look for you." Then he poured his cup of wine into the sea, the others did the same.
Zhao Hai and the others did the same. To be honest, Zhao Hai admired these men of the sea. They might not be strong, but they relied on their courage to kill their way through the sea. It was impossible to say that these sea routes didn't have the blood of these men.
After giving a toast to the dead, they returned to the ship and began to drink. There were also some people who didn't want to drink.
Everyone ate and drank happily. In the end, many people on the ship drank too much. Although Zhao Hai didn't drink too much, he still pretended to drink and went back to his room to rest.
When Zhao Hai woke up, he found that the sky was still dark. When Zhao Hai came out of his room, he discovered that almost everyone on the ship was awake. Naturally, the fatty Jade Flood Dragon and the indifferent youth didn't come out.
When Captain Dragon saw Zhao Hai come out, he quickly greeted him and smiled, "Mister Zhao, you're awake. The wine you brought out is really good. I drank a lot yesterday, but I didn't feel any pain in my bones. Good wine, good wine."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I have some more here, I'll give it to you. Right, there's something else I want to give you. Here, take it." Then Zhao Hai turned his hand and took out a tree branch. Zhao Hai handed the tree branch to Captain Dragon.
When Captain Dragon saw the tree branch that Zhao Hai handed over, he couldn't help but stare. Then his eyes lit up as he said, "Is this a natural staff?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, a natural staff. Hehe, I got it during an adventure. I'll give it to you."
Captain Dragon waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this staff is too precious. I can't afford to use it. Looking at the length and thickness of this staff, it must be very expensive. I don't want it."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's fine, I didn't spend money anyway. You can keep it. To be honest, the Kun Whale Staff you gave me is really good. It's very useful to me."
When Captain Dragon heard Zhao Hai, he looked at the staff again. Then he nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll be polite. If you return to the Arctic Continent in the future, you must look for me."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I will."
Captain Dragon nodded, then he looked at the staff in his hand and said, "When I was young, I also used a natural staff. I didn't expect to use it again. Good, very good."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Then he looked at the surrounding and said, "It's dark again?"
Captain Dragon nodded and said, "Yes, it's dark again. We've been delayed here for a day. But it doesn't matter, this ship is much faster than ours. When we reach the Thick Earth Continent, we might even be faster than now."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry, we're not in a hurry anyway. Right, if we take this ship to the Thick Earth Continent, we won't be mistaken as a warship, right?"
Captain Dragon shook his head and said, "No, don't worry. Although this ship looks like a warship, it's not one. People with discerning eyes can see that it's not a warship. We merchants use cargo ships, the army uses warships, and the pirates use a combination of warships and cargo ships. This kind of ship doesn't have as much cargo as a warship, but at the same time, it has more cargo than a warship and faster than a cargo ship. It's very suitable for pirates."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Does the Empire really not care about these pirates? How much do the merchants lose every year? "
Captain Dragon smiled bitterly and said, "Even if the army wants to, they can't. The Navy isn't as familiar with the sea as the pirates. If the pirates hide, the Navy simply can't find them. Although the Navy's warships are faster than the pirates, the Navy isn't familiar with the sea. Therefore, it's easy for the pirates to escape. At the same time, the pirates have a good relationship with the sea beasts. These sea beasts are fed by the pirates and will attack the pirates' ships. And do you think that the pirates are really independent pirates? Some of them aren't pirates, they're actually Royal Privateers. "
Zhao Hai stared, then he asked, "Royal Privateers? What's that? "
Captain Dragon replied, "Royal Privateers are pirate ships supported by the Imperial Family. Not only are these pirates better equipped, they also have a privateer license issued by the Imperial Family. In other words, they can rob legally, even the Navy doesn't care."
"Legal robbery? How is that possible? "
"How is it impossible? These privateers are actually good. Some of them are pirates who have surrendered. They also abide by the rules of the pirates. If you encounter a Navy ship, then you're out of luck. Pirates aren't like other pirates, they don't abide by the rules. If you encounter them, not only will they rob you, you won't be able to survive."
Zhao Hai was speechless, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation. The sea was really a lawless world. However, this had nothing to do with him. He'll talk about it after he takes over the Five Spiritual Realms.
Captain Long sighed and said, "It's getting harder and harder to do business on the sea. Fortunately, I've been doing business for many years. Generally, pirates have to give me some face, especially the pirates here. But this time, I've never seen these pirates before. It's really strange, they don't look familiar. Most importantly, they don't look like they're here to rob, they look like they're here to kill."
Zhao Hai nodded, then with a serious tone he said, "This time, I suspect that they were targeting Fatty. When Fatty was helping you attack the pirate ship, I discovered that a lot of pirates were targeting him. The number of people attacking Fatty was much more than the number of people attacking you." Zhao Hai nodded, then with a serious tone, he said, "I suspect that they were targeting Fatty.
Captain Long stared blankly, then said in a deep voice, "That's possible. If they were really pirates who came to rob us, then they wouldn't have directly penetrated the ship. You should know that even if they penetrated the ship, all the things on the ship would have been destroyed while we were fighting."
Zhao Hai replied, "They arrived earlier than us. At that time, Fatty still hasn't boarded your ship. But it's very simple to determine whether or not Fatty was on your ship. As long as they follow Fatty, they would know that he booked a spot on your ship. When the time comes, they can arrange for someone to board your ship. This way, you wouldn't be suspicious." Zhao Hai nodded.
Captain Dragon said, "Mister Yu is a member of the Ice Jade Country's Imperial Family. It's not strange for someone to target Mister Yu. Well, we can only blame ourselves for being unlucky. Right, Mister Zhao, I heard that you want to travel with Mister Yu? Is that true? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's true. But I don't think there will be any danger. After all, it's the Thick Earth Continent, not the Arctic Continent. The Ice Jade Country is very far away from the Thick Earth Continent. It's impossible for them to send people to the Thick Earth Continent to kill us."
Captain Dragon nodded and said, "That's unlikely. But when you come back, if you're able to reach Broken Sea City, you must look for me. When the time comes, I'll invite you for a drink or two."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Then he chatted with Captain Dragon for a while and ate something before returning to his room.
Early the next morning, Zhao slowly woke up to the sound of the ship's music. He went out of his room and saw that Fatty had woken up earlier than him and was strolling around the deck.
When Fatty saw Zhao Hai come out, he immediately greeted him and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, you woke up late today."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's not that I woke up late, it's you who woke up early. I woke up last night, but you didn't wake up until now. You're really good at sleeping. "
Fatty laughed and said, "Being able to eat and sleep is a blessing. You can't be envious of me."
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "I'm not envious of you. Alright, let's take a walk on the ship and have breakfast. In any case, the ship is only this big, there's not much we can do."
When Fatty heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Right, there's not much we can do right now. The ship is only this big. Even if you play with flowers, what can you do? It's so boring." Zhao Hai laughed but didn't say anything. Nobody could do anything about this situation.
In the following period of time, they didn't encounter anything. At this time, it wasn't the time for the sea breeze. They just sat on the ship and hurried along. This kind of journey was very boring. On the other hand, the indifferent youth rarely came out of his room. He just stayed inside his room every day.
After nearly 20 days, they could see more ships on the sea. Zhao Hai and Fatty stood on the deck and looked at the ships with excitement on their faces. To be honest, they had been at sea for more than 20 days, but they rarely saw ships. This kind of loneliness wasn't something that ordinary people could endure. In the end, Zhao Hai and Fatty also drank a few glasses of wine with the people on the ship every night. Now they knew why the people on the sea were so good at drinking.
Captain Dragon walked towards the two and looked at them, then he smiled faintly and said, "We're about to reach the Thick Earth Continent. We'll arrive in about three days, which is five days faster than we expected. And this is because we didn't leave quickly. Otherwise, we would've arrived two days earlier. But this is already very good. How about it? Are you tired of staying on the ship?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly but didn't say anything. The reason why he looked annoyed these days wasn't because he was anxious, but rather because he was pretending. In fact, a month of travel was nothing for him. His seclusion didn't last for a month. But on the ship, he couldn't just go into seclusion openly. However, this wasn't a big deal for Zhao Hai. But in order to not be seen through, he could only pretend to be annoyed.
The fatty laughed and said, "That's true. Speaking of which, I was very happy in the first few days of the boat ride. I felt that everything was new. But after a long time, it's the same every day. This is really annoying." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Captain Dragon laughed and said, "You think it's annoying, but we think it's good. This kind of boredom also means that everything is going smoothly. For us, this is good news."
Fatty sighed and said, "It's not easy for you to be so happy. It seems like I won't be able to sail for the rest of my life. Next time I come back, I'll take a passenger ship. I heard that there are more people on a passenger ship, it's not as boring."
Captain Long nodded and said, "That's true. There are a lot of people on the passenger ships, and the environment is also much better than our cargo ships. There are a lot of fun things on the ship, there are taverns, theaters, and even brothels and casinos. Hahaha. But the cost is also very high. The tickets you bought only have room and meals. If you want to go to those places, you will have to pay extra. The cost isn't low, it's ten times more than the cost of our ship."
Hearing Captain Long's words, Fatty couldn't help but be speechless. "So many! This passenger ship is really expensive. Hey, Old Zhao, do you think we should take a cargo ship or a passenger ship from the Thick Earth Continent to the other continents?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "We'll take whichever ship we catch. I don't have high requirements, any ship is fine. Cargo ships are cheaper while passenger ships are more comfortable. But the next time we go on a cargo ship, we should bring some fun things in advance. Uncle Dragon, I think you should also prepare some fun things, such as beast chess, fishing rods, and so on. This way, we won't be too bored, right? Otherwise, we'll be drinking every day, it's boring. "
Captain Dragon stared, then he nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Moreover, the things you mentioned aren't difficult to prepare. Hahaha, good, good. Next time, I'll certainly prepare these things. But Mister Zhao, Mister Yu, next time you go on a cargo ship, don't let people know that you have the Space. Otherwise, it'll be very dangerous. Some cargo ships will become pirates as soon as they go out to sea. You should be careful."
When Fatty and Zhao Hai heard Captain Dragon, they couldn't help but stare. Then their expressions changed, Fatty asked, "Uncle Dragon, are you serious?"
Captain Long nodded and said, "Of course, there are a lot of people who die at sea every year, so you must be careful. They may not necessarily use force to deal with you, but they will drug you, making it impossible for you to guard against it."
Zhao Hai and Fatty nodded solemnly.
