Chapter 1 Journey at Sea
On the small passenger ship, the sound of the "boom...boom...boom...boom..." steam engine has been ringing for nearly five hours. The cries of seagulls, and the crashing of waves against the hull.
The passenger ship rides the wind and waves, constantly stirring up piles of snow-white water drops on the bow of the ship. The snow-white water drops fly high, shining brightly under the sunlight, like silver beads, piercing the standing position. Zhang Tie, who was staring at the sea ahead on the second deck of the passenger ship, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Today is December 5, Monday, when Zhang Tie reported to Qianlongtang.
Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining brightly, I think that I was still participating in the Oktoberfest in Brape on the first weekend of last month, but a month later, I am already in the vast sea, going to a brand new Zhang Tie couldn't help feeling the magic of fate.
Thinking of those things, the shadow of a girl with black eyes couldn't help appearing in Zhang Tie's mind again. Pandora! Before leaving Karur, what Zhang Tie missed the most was this name.
The Pandora family has already left the Black Flame City and disappeared suddenly. No one knows where Pandora has gone. This girl seems to have never appeared in the Black Flame City, just like a drop of water jumping up in the sun, suddenly In the meantime, it fell back into the sea without any traces. Even the neighbors next to their house didn't know when their house was vacant.
Alice's family also left Heiyan City. When Alice's family left Heiyan City, Alice left a letter for herself and asked Barry to give it to her. Alice's father took her and her mother to Nottingburg, the northern capital of the Norman Empire.
Beverly became a nurse in a hospital in Heiyan City, and the girls in the Rose Society lived their own lives according to their original life trajectories. The absurdities of the past seemed to have become distant memories.
The former city defense army of Heiyan City has been completely disbanded, and the thirty-ninth division stationed in Heiyan City has begun to officially expand. Most of the partners and friends I used to know in school were recruited into the army, and only a few of them were recruited because of past mistakes. The medical check-up for recruits who failed was brushed down.
Fatty Barry was dismissed because he had asthma, Chauvin was dismissed because he was too thin and did not meet the minimum standard for recruits from the Norman Empire, and the other was Porter, who was originally recruited by the Norman Empire. The reason why Porter, a teenager who fooled himself into a fireman, was brushed off was flat feet. People with flat feet, like people with asthma, were not allowed to join the army in the Norman Empire.
Compared with the former Andaman League, the recruiting conditions of the Norman Empire are indeed much stricter.
For Porter, Zhang Tie still felt a little guilty until now, because by the time he left Black Flame City, other members of the Divine Favor Society had already enlisted in the army, and only Porter was still digging and persisting in mining through mining. This kind of penance has been inherited by the "Great Blessing Technique". In this regard, Zhang Tie has no other way except to expect Porter to give up automatically after persisting for a period of time and to ask Barry to take care of him when necessary. Facing Porter's thin and thin body's persistent and determined eyes like fire, Zhang Tie couldn't even bear to tell him that this was all a joke.
"Ah, look, Haimai..."
A surprised voice behind him brought Zhang Tie's thoughts back to reality. Zhang Tie shook his head and drove everything related to Heiyan City out of his head. The most important thing now is to accumulate his own strength. If I have the strength, in the future, when the holy war of the human race comes, it will be no problem to bring everyone I know in Black Flame City, including their families, to the Eastern Continent.
And at this moment, I am just a small shrimp in the torrent of fate, I can barely jump a few times under the water, but I can't even see the direction ahead.
On the sea in the distance, several dolphins that jumped out of the water from time to time were happily chasing and playing with the ship. Zhang Tie looked back and found that five people had already come up on the deck next to him.
These five people, three men and two women, are all older than Zhang Tie, and all five of them carry weapons. The three men are thick-backed and have very strong physiques. They look like martial arts practitioners, and the other two women are in their thirties. , a woman in her thirties, with a slender waist and breast augmentation, is heroic. Although there is a little bit of wind and frost on her face, it is like a ripe peach, and her whole body is full of temptation. femininity. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman has almond eyes and peach cheeks, has a pair of long beautiful legs, and is somewhat pretty. Although she is a little younger, she is still a little taller than the woman in her thirties.
The exclamation just now was made by this young woman. The woman looked at the dolphins in the distance and clapped her hands happily.
"Since Fumei likes dolphins so much, why don't you let Yu Shiyu catch two dolphins and give them to you after she has been promoted to the sixth level this time and condensed into fighting spirit? Brother will definitely not refuse, right, Brother Yu!" It was the woman in her thirties who said this, mature women are different, they can make such jokes at will.
"Senior Sister Fang, you are making fun of me again!" The seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman stomped her feet, and secretly glanced at the handsome one among the three men.
That man's face is a little tenderer than this woman's. At this time, he just made a casual joke, his face turned red, and his words were a little flirtatious, "Zichuan..." As long as Fumei... ...Fumei likes it, we can...often go to...see dolphins! "
Flo... Junior Brother... Senior Sister"... Listening to the words in a straight voice and the unique titles of the Chinese people, Zhang Tie has probably guessed the identities of these people. It is estimated that these people are from It must be the sect in the Chinese family that Tang De mentioned.
The sect among the Chinese is still a new thing to Zhang Tie. In Zhang Tie's impression, the sect organization is like a super hodgepodge, which is a collection of clans, business groups, colleges, churches, Guilds and even some characteristics of the army are organized, and interest groups are bound by blood, secrets, various interests and personal attachments.
Such things as sects are rarely seen in other places except in Chinese countries. In places like the Andaman League, Zhang Tie has never heard of any sects. There are quite a few other churches, academies, war halls, and various secret groups. Although the relationship between master and apprentice also exists in some places, they are all sporadic and have not formed a large-scale inheritance system.
In the Siberian-speaking area, sects are the closest organization to sects. Compared with sects, the biggest difference is that all sects involve belief and idolatry, while sects seem to have some and some do not. The organization should be more flexible. Sects highlight beliefs, while sects highlight esoteric teachings, and both have their own merits.
Because it was the first time he came into contact with members of these sects, Zhang Tie listened to their conversation with curious ears while looking at the scenery. I don't care too much, just chatting about the light on my own
The topic of several people quickly shifted from "Mei Fu" and "Brother Yu" to the itinerary and purpose of their trip.
"It's too expensive. It takes fifteen silver coins for each person who only takes a few hours' sea boat. !” A person said in pain.
"Brother Feng, you can be content. This is the first time you, Brother Yu, and Sister Fu have come out to gather fighting spirit. I don't know the situation. If you want to be in other places in Jinyun Kingdom, you just need to spend more money." If you pay ten times the money, you may not have the opportunity to enter the underground world. The five entrances to the underground world discovered in Jinyun Kingdom, except the one on Qianlong Island, which allows you to enter for free, the other three All of them were surrounded by several big families in Jinyun Kingdom, and they were regarded as forbidden land. Each time you enter at least five gold coins, there is also an entrance to the underground world in the Yangui Mountains. The entrance is the nearest The city of Yangui is more than a thousand kilometers away, and you can freely enter anywhere, but except for a few strong people, basically no one goes."
"Senior Brother An, so Huaiyuantang has done a good thing?" This is the voice of Master Feng.
"Hehe, Huaiyuantang's Zhang family is as rich as an enemy country. It owns eight cities and enjoys the benefits of being close to the sea. Only the money that Huaiyuantang's Yiyang City gets from the trade between the East and West continents every year, just leaking a little bit of money is better than taking this land. Enclosing the entrance of the lower world will cost you a hundred times more money. This Qianlong Island is far away overseas. Instead of building a city and stationing troops here for such a small profit, it is better to let everyone in and gain a good reputation. The more people come here, the more useful things and materials you can get from hunting all kinds of monsters in the underground world, because it is not convenient to take it away on the island, most people will choose to go there For transactions, the Changfeng Merchant Group under Huaiyuantang is in charge of trading with everyone here, and if there are more things to trade, the profits will naturally not be less!" Senior Brother An explained.
"This is really a good plan!" Brother Yu said with emotion.
"It's just a fluke that a big family like Huaiyuantang can have the scale it is today. With their means, this matter must be done in a watertight way, which can not only be praised, but also be beneficial." This is Fang Senior sister's voice.
"Senior Sister Fang, I heard that the monsters in the underground world are very vicious and huge, and the lowest black spider is as big as a scalper..."
"Miss Fu, don't worry. Although the black spiders are vicious, you and I, senior brother An, have experienced them once before. If we come this time, we will be able to deal with those black spiders. We will fight for the three of you. The three of you condensed into a fighting spirit without any risk. After the three of you have advanced to the sixth level, you and I, Senior Brother An, will go to the seventh level. When you come, accumulate a little advanced level seven experience!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tie was about to turn around and leave the deck, and the outline of a big island had already appeared in the distance. Watching the passenger ship heading straight for that big island, counting the time, Zhang Tie knew that that island was Qianlong island.
As soon as he left the deck, Zhang Tie only heard the sound of water splashing under the boat on the other side of the deck. Zhang Tie only felt that the sound of the water was different. "Bang bang bang bang" several fighting sounds, accompanied by a few roars and muffled grunts.
Zhang Tie turned his head and saw that there was already an extra person on the original deck.
A man in a tight-fitting swimsuit, dripping from his body, and disheveled hair stood in the middle of the deck. The man's fierce eyes stared around vigilantly, and one of his strange claws was tightly clasped on the one just now. The position of "Fumei"'s throat, "Fumei" has a painful face, and has lost the ability to resist under the man's hands. The few people who were with "Fumei" just now have fallen in the distance at this moment, Brother Yu and Brother Feng are struggling to get up from the ground, while Brother An and Senior Sister Fang are standing a few steps with ugly faces After that, Senior Sister Fang's hands were trembling and her face was pale. Senior Brother An's mouth had a trace of blood dripping from it. Both of them were injured in the moment of the fight.
Behind the man, fighting spirit tumbling, showing the appearance of a big snake.
There was another sound of splashing water, and in an instant, there was another young man under the age of twenty on the deck. The young man was shirtless, barefoot, wearing a pair of underpants casually, and his hands were twirling. With a stinger, he looked at the man helplessly, "Let her go, it's already come to this point, why bother to involve innocent people to increase your crimes?"
"Fart!" The man who held Fumei yelled sternly, looked at the young man, and pulled the hostage on his hands towards him, carefully hiding his body Behind the hostage, "You jump off the boat yourself, then turn the boat around and send me back to the shore!" The man was already yelling incoherently.
"You violated Huaiyuan County's laws and regulations on Qianlong Island, killing people and taking goods, do you think you can still escape? Even if you can go ashore, do you think you can escape from Huaiyuan County? Don't be naive,""" Playing to divide the water The stabbing young man's tone became more amiable, "Since I chased and killed you for three days and three nights, we have become friends, you give me face, I will give you a happy, you hurry to reincarnate, we Hurry up and hand in the task, everyone will be irrelevant in the future, what do you think?"
"Let your sister go..." The man was about to curse, or wanted to say something, but unfortunately, a bright long sword had come out of his throat, and the man's eyes suddenly protruded, as if he wanted to look back Who gave him a sword, but he failed to complete this action after all.
The battle spirit totem on the man and the life of the man collapsed in an instant.
The man fell down, and Fumei, who had been hijacked by this man, also ran away from the man in a hurry, with a look of shock on her face.
A handsome young man dressed in white and holding a long sword appeared behind the man. No one, including Zhang Tie, knew when this man appeared behind the man on the deck.
Looking at the man lying on the ground, the young man in white shook his head, "I really don't know how a person like you got into the eighth level. After being chased and killed for three days, you don't even know how many people are chasing and killing you!" , and it is you who have the guts to do business without money on Qianlong Island, your IQ is really "" Chuan the young man holding the long sword flicked the long sword smartly, and put the blade on the long sword The blood drop bounced off, then raised his head, looked at the sky with forty-five-degree eyes, "What a tragedy! "
As soon as the word "ah" fell, the young man in white jumped up from the deck, and made a beautiful 720-degree turn in the air. During the turn, the sword was sheathed with a bang, and then the whole person was like a chic petrel , threw it into the sea with a beautiful arc, and disappeared without any splash.
"Why do you play handsome in the front every time, and I wipe my butt in the back?" The other year, who was shirtless and playing with squirts, muttered twice, then walked over with his mouth curled up, and squatted down. Turning around, turned over the corpse, took out a bag from the corpse's arms, opened the bag in front of everyone, took out a small round red bead from the bag, looked at it, nodded, Then put it away.
"Someone will take care of this corpse when the boat reaches the shore!" After saying this, the young man who was playing with water thorns also jumped off the deck and jumped into the sea.
At this moment, around the deck, a large group of spectators had already gathered. Nine out of ten people who can come to Qianlong Island by boat are warriors, and everyone has become accustomed to such things as fighting and killing. , Therefore, when they discovered that there was an accident on the deck, many people who had gathered in the cabin ran out without fear to watch the excitement.
This excitement is really exciting.
"Why does this dead guy look familiar?" Someone among the spectators said.
"This person is Deng Tong, the Sea Demon, a pirate leader wanted by the Qilan Kingdom. I never thought he would be here today!" There were hundreds of passengers on the passenger ship, from all corners of the world. He looks a little familiar, someone here has already recognized his identity
"I heard that Deng Tong is proficient in water skills and has a secret biography. He claims to be able to enter the sea for seven days without drowning. In the past, this man relied on his ability to escape the pursuit and killing of others in Qilan Kingdom several times, and even Turned defeat into victory twice in the water, and killed the people who chased him. Unexpectedly, this time, the boat capsized on Qianlong Island, and he was chased from the water and jumped onto the boat. In the end, he still couldn’t escape, alas... "
"If it wasn't for this man's banditry, he did things like killing people and stealing goods on Qianlong Island, how could he end up like this? I heard that Deng Tong only reached the seventh level. I guess he came to Qianlong Island this time to advance. , I didn't expect to die after being promoted!"
"Where are those two young men who chased and killed Deng Tong just now?"
"Those two young men must be from Qianlongtang of the Zhang family. Qianlong island is the place where the elite Zhang family of Huaiyuantang practiced. I heard that those who can come here to practice are people who have awakened the blood of their ancestors. ..."
After sighing for a while, the crowd dispersed, but after seeing the corpse on the deck, many people couldn't help but quietly warned themselves in their hearts, don't rely on a little ability on Qianlong Island. Do something criminal.
"Fumei, are you okay!" Brother Yu looked at his Fumei nervously, and after saying the same thing several times, his Fumei seemed to realize it.
"Ah... I'm fine!"
"It's good that it's okay, I was really anxious to death just now!" Brother Yu smiled as if he was relieved, and he didn't realize that his sister Fu was a little absent-minded at the moment.
Only Senior Sister Fang sighed faintly in her heart after seeing the face and expression of Junior Junior Sister. The two young people just now were unrestrained and unruly, each with their own demeanor, especially the young man in white who rescued Junior Junior Sister. After arriving at that person, the junior sister never took her eyes off that person. What was the last sentence of that person, Brother Yu, alas, what a tragedy!
"Qianlongtang..." After Zhang Tie said the name twice in a low voice, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Everyone returned to the cabin of the ship.
Twenty minutes later, the figure of Qianlong Island straddling the sea grew bigger and bigger.
Qianlong Island is 190 kilometers offshore and covers an area of 340 square kilometers. The island is densely covered with jungles and surrounded by mountains. It is a large island in the sea area under the jurisdiction of Huaiyuan County.
On the same island as Qianlongtang is the "Sea Island Dragon Cave", which is known as one of the entrances to the five subterranean worlds of Jinyun Kingdom... .If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
