Chapter 212: Battle on the Island (Part 211)

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.

A smattering of small fishing boats set out from various crude ports and cast their fishing nets in the coastal areas before the large fishing boats set out.

Poseidon Island is an island.

It belongs to the archipelago terrain.

Meat supplements mostly rely on seafood.

Fish, clams, shrimps, crabs, and many other kinds, even soul beasts, are all delicacies on the sea people's menu. They only need to be processed a little bit to change their appearance and be served on the table and eaten away with chopsticks.

Sea people are people who live by the sea.

Mountain people, fishermen, farmers, and many others.

That's what I mean.

However, the sea people are different from each other. Just like a farmer who owns ten acres of land will look down on a farmer who owns five acres of land, among the sea people, there are also different levels, with ninth level being the lowest, sixth level being the middle, and third level being the highest, for a total of eighteen special occupations.

Among the nine classes, only pearl diver has a technical job.

The other eight special occupations are all physical work.

Among the six levels, only the majority are managers.

The other five special occupations are all technical positions.

Among the three classes, the captain is the most common. As long as he has strong strength and rich sailing experience, he can become a big man in the eyes of most sea people. Among the remaining two special professions, the navigator has the highest technical content. Many of the technologies in their hands have the rule of being passed down from male to male, and they have a high status. Even the captain has to obey the navigator's command in terms of technology. Of course, if no fish can be caught, the navigator will be to blame.

The rarest ones are the believers of Qi Hai.

That is, the believers of Poseidon who are blessed by Poseidon.

As the name suggests, Poseidon believers are people who believe in Poseidon and are recognized by him. In the Poseidon's doctrine of faith, the sea is the source of everything. Therefore, the high priests of Poseidon in all generations never prevent these believers from going to the sea. On the contrary, they even encourage Poseidon believers to 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 Poseidon believers. At critical moments, Poseidon believers can really save lives and are the last trump card of a fleet.

However, believers of Qi Hai also have three major shortcomings.

First: Believers in praying for the sea are not allowed to participate in fishing.

Second: Sea Prayer believers cannot serve in a fleet just for money.

Third: Every time going out to sea, the fleet must release living seafood equal to the weight of the believers in praying for the sea from the seafood that has been salvaged.

Despite this, it is difficult to find a believer who prays to the sea.

After all, what happens at sea is the same as what happens in the air.

Generally nothing happens, but when something happens, it is a big deal.

A believer in praying for the sea, at most, will not weigh more than 300 kilograms. 300 kilograms of fish is less than one percent of the total seafood revenue of a fleet at one voyage. It is better to spend a little money to get peace of mind than to encounter a storm, whirlpool, or tsunami and have the ship destroyed and people killed.

And this is the world through the eyes of the sea people.

They were ordinary people who could not imagine the power of the Seven Holy Pillars of Poseidon, let alone the world in the eyes of the High Priest of Poseidon. For them, filling their stomachs was the most important thing.

And among all the options for filling your stomach.

Going out to sea to fish is the easiest.

Due to the special environment of the archipelago, the soil here is not suitable for farming.

Although there must be fertile fields in such a large archipelago, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on these fertile fields to feed everyone on Poseidon Island. Food is more expensive than meat. This is Poseidon Island.

Among them, the near sea is the fishing ground chosen by some small fishing boats and small fishermen. The fish here are not big, and the heaviest will not exceed 50 kilograms. The fish are gentle in nature. There are no giant sharks that need fishing crossbows to hunt in the open sea. Some giant sharks are even ten thousand year old soul beasts, and fishing crossbows are not effective. The captain, who is a soul master, can only take action and rely on his powerful strength to drive away the soul beasts.

Within a thousand miles, it is considered near the sea.

A thousand miles away is considered the distant sea.

And today!

At this moment, when the sky is hazy!

On the dividing line of exactly a thousand miles, not a single inch off!
A small boat came from nowhere, and its bow slowly touched the line and stopped!

The black-haired boy sat cross-legged at the bow.

He is handsome and bright like the sun and stars.

The black and gold cloak, in theory, does not match the surrounding environment, but when draped on the young man, it looks more pleasing to the eye than the straw raincoat.

The people on Mo are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

Even without any embellishment of gold, silver or jade, it is still invaluable.

The kind that makes people feel the difference at a glance.

However, this is also the world in the eyes of the sea people!

It was the first thought that came to the mind of the fisher girl who was rowing the small fishing boat after she caught a glimpse of Ye Qingcang's face!
"Xiaoyu?" On the back deck of the small fishing boat, an old man with white hair and beard also noticed that the fishing boat below was drifting with the current. He put down the fishing net that had not been sorted out yet, bent down and walked into the cabin, walked to the front deck, looked at the back of his little granddaughter in confusion, raised his voice and repeated: "Xiaoyu, what are you looking at?"

"Hey, Grandpa, when did you come here?" The fisherman girl, who looked about twenty years old but was actually only sixteen, was startled when she suddenly heard her grandfather's voice. She turned sideways, on the one hand to talk to her grandfather better, and on the other hand to let her grandfather see Ye Qingcang who was not far away. The deck of the fishing boat was only this big, so it was normal for the line of sight to be blocked: "Oh, by the way, Grandpa, look... there's a person over there!"

"There's someone?" The old man with white hair and beard looked in the direction pointed by his granddaughter. He was startled at first, but then understood. He stroked his long beard, feeling relieved but also a little helpless. "I was saying, how could my little granddaughter, who has always been smart, capable, aggressive, unyielding and full of energy, make such an inappropriate mistake today? Calculating your age, you are indeed old enough to fall in love... But as a person who has experienced this, grandpa has to remind you that love between people of equal status is suitable for people like us. That young man is not someone we can marry!"

"No, Grandpa, what right do you have to judge us?" The girl was immediately angry, but the strong family affection prevented her from arguing with her grandfather. She just argued unconvincedly: "Our family is not bad either. My eldest uncle works in the city, my second uncle is a sailor, and my brother is the helmsman of the 17th ship of the Rock Fleet... Look at him, he only has a small boat, why is he not worthy of him?"

“You are still young…” The old man with white hair and beard smiled bitterly and shook his head: “I know that you young people all think that only those who ride on big ships have wealthy families. This perception is not wrong, because most people with wealthy families have big ships. However, there are exceptions to everything… Look at the clothes on his body, and then look at the configuration of the small boat under him; as I expected, the clothes were cut from a complete soul beast skin, without any traces of sewing. Even if there are, the seams that can’t be seen by an old man like me are of extraordinary high quality. There are no oars on his boat, nor any first aid supplies. Look at his state, he is not panicked at all… He does this because he has the confidence!”

The fisher girl was shocked when she heard this.

Looking carefully again, he saw everything his grandfather said, as well as Ye Qingcang who took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped into the sea!

At the center of the eyebrows, the blood-red vertical sword mark shines brightly!
Take a step forward and set foot on a thousand miles of sea!

In the distance, the light of the Sea God that penetrated the sky and the earth seemed to have sensed the provocation of this alien god. Layers of golden ripples visible to the naked eye spread out in the air, and the entire Sea God Island was trembling under the divine light!
