In the morning, the summer is the wind and the moon is seven times, and the weather is clear. ⊙

It has been almost ten days since Tolia and Port Louis. The young men on the boat still enjoy themselves outside every day, as if they have endless energy to vent. This is normal. After all, anyone who has been wandering on the vast sea for weeks will be suffocated, let alone a group of young and strong men.

But I can't do it, because as the captain, I always have to be busy with many things, such as ship maintenance, freshwater grain supply, dealing with those ugly-looking port officials, contacting new trade and business, etc. Of course, I will never admit that I am old!

After lunch every day, as long as the weather is good, I will lie leisurely on the rocking chair on the deck and take a while to take a nap, listening to the flying gulls, melodious horns, noisy voices, and then fall asleep in my smile.

I like such a comfortable enjoyment. From the sailors who are not cleaned on the deck to their current position, I have experienced too many things. Inadvertently, time always passes so quickly. When I am free, I think about it carefully. It seems that yesterday's incident is still happening in front of me. It is often said that when I get older, I like nostalgia, but I don't agree with this statement. Once I get empty, I like to think randomly in my mind. Nostalgia is just one of them, and it has nothing to do with age. Well, yes, that's what I think!

I have accumulated a lot of money over the years, but unfortunately I have used it to buy this ship. Speaking of which, it was sold to me by the old captain for special discounts. If ordinary people want to buy it, they may have to spend a lot of money. Although it looks old and old, don't underestimate its power. The storm and waves of the past did not overturn it. It is enough to show its sturdyness and reliability!

I heard that the old captain has moved to Magnido recently. Maybe he can visit him if he has time in the future. I don’t know if the leg disease that has troubled him for many years has healed.

As the captain of the Oak for five years, I had already made money back from buying this ship and even bought a farm in Engli. I planned to work for a few more years. After I earned enough money for the rest of my life, I would not plan to continue wandering on the sea. I want to have a home, a truly stable and happy family.

Why do I say that? Because I married a wife when I was young. Unfortunately, one day when I came back from sailing, she ran away with another man. The bitch not only took away all my money, but even took away my most beloved dog! From then on, I realized a reality that unless I really love you wholeheartedly, she would not have been waiting for you to wander outside for several months before returning home.

It’s just a woman, I don’t care. As long as I have money in my pocket, what kind of woman can’t be found? So I stopped thinking about getting married and devoted myself to my maritime career. Perhaps it is this thing that makes me now!

As for the woman who abandoned me with her lover, I saw her once when I returned to my hometown two years ago. What is incredible is that she was once beautiful and graceful, and she was even thicker than a bucket. She was full of filthy words in the conversation. If it weren't for the solemn instructions from a friend, I really couldn't believe that she would have become like this.

A friend said that she had been away with her lover for a few years, but her lover came to another woman to abandon her, just as she was to me back then. Later, she worked as a prostitute in a tavern for several years and finally married an honest and loyal tailor.

I can only sigh at the impermanence of the world.

Not long after I took a nap and fell asleep, an uninvited guest suddenly disturbed my peace. You know, when the things you like the most and enjoy most are interrupted by a rough interruption, you will definitely feel extremely angry and irritable!

However, when my emotions were about to explode, I was stunned.

Because there was a sword on my neck.

The uninvited guest who threatened me with a sword was a pretty young and handsome man. I felt an extremely unusual sense of danger from him, which was more dangerous than all the pirates I had ever encountered!

This young man called himself Xia Lan. The reason he came to me was to make a deal with me.

I don't know where he transformed a pile of shining gold coins, which piled up the deck in front of me like a hill, and I surrendered! Yes! I surrendered in front of the great gold coins!

The transaction content of the young man is very simple. He wants to take a boat across the Xiafeng Strait to the opposite continent, and he requires only one thing. We must do our job to leave the port all the time. No matter what happens in the process, you cannot violate it. Otherwise, he will kill everyone on the ship, including me. Of course, my reward is the pile of heart-pounding gold coins under my feet.

I can understand the caution of young people. After all, I have met many pirates who use similar threats, but pirates will not be as generous as this young man.

Although I don’t know why young people make such a transaction request, everyone has a secret. For the sake of gold coins, I agreed to the young people’s transaction, saying that whether I am bold or want money or life, isn’t this the case for any adventure and hard work at sea? The sea is not like land. The capricious sea is full of crises. If it were a little unfortunate, a storm would cause the destruction of ships and people to die. If it weren’t for the generous trade rewards at sea, who would have fought to the sea to run to the sea?

I asked young people why so many boats have to choose me?

The young man said that he had asked many of the crew members around who are the most reliable in sailing, but most of them chose you!

Haha! I was so happy to hear this! I didn’t expect that those kids still knew the famous name of Prous!

When I was young, I followed the old captain back and forth across the Xiafeng Strait for trade about three or four times. I am not the coward who only dares to trade offshore in this generation. Although the danger of crossing the Xiafeng Strait is indeed very high, usually ten ships have returned successfully, and sometimes none of them have even returned. This shows the degree of danger in the sailing.

The Xiafeng Strait is not a strait. If you want to set out from Port Louis to the nearest port city of Vysinger across the sea, it will take as soon as a month. All of this always makes people sigh, is this the so-called strait?

In fact, Xiafeng Strait was indeed an ordinary strait in ancient times. With the distance between the two sides of the straits at that time, it took about one day to sail to the other straits. However, as time goes by, the distance between the straits has become farther and farther, until it becomes what it is today. People are used to the name of Xiafeng Strait, so they have been used to this day.

After reaching a deal with the young man, he left, and I began to call the crew to prepare for the long voyage. Day by day, Mr. Xia Lan never went there, and the crew's patience was almost exhausted. I was very worried about this. What I was worried about was not the psychological problems of the crew, but the time limit for the transaction I forgot to ask Mr. Xia Lan!

Yesterday, something particularly terrifying happened in the harbor, including the murder of the harbor, the explosion of the harbor warehouse, and the strange scenes above the harbor. Since I was resting in the cabin at that time, the first two things were told by the crew, and I only saw what happened in the end. Although I was not a devout believer of the Radiant Church, the scene above the harbor really shocked my heart. This was a scene I had never seen before. Such a solemn and solemn scene. At that time, many crew members on the ship knelt on the deck and prayed silently until the vision disappeared.

What happened? I believe many people have such questions as me. Later I inquired a lot of news, but none of them could convince me. Some people said that there was a coup in the parliament, some people said that God was punishing the sinners on the earth, and some people said that this was a riot secretly incited by the enemy country Efia... In short, I just think something bad happened in Port Louis, and it would be best to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

But... I have to wait until Your Excellency Xia Lan to leave according to the transaction, which is really annoying and frustrating!

Perhaps God heard my heart, but he didn't expect that Lord Xia Lan really came, and it also brought the trouble that I least want to see...

...

...

"Captain!! Not good!! The ship behind is about to get on us!"

At this time, the door suddenly made people push open, and a young and tender sailor shouted anxiously.

Prous put down the pen in his hand and closed his captain's diary. He sorted out his triangle cap and said calmly: "Anphere, how many times have I said, you should be calm when encountering things, don't yell casually, as this can easily cause uneasiness among the crew!"

"But... Captain! There seemed to be a sacred knight of the Holy Ray Cathedral on the boat that was leaning over!" said the young sailor named Anphir, trembling.

"What did you say? The Knight of the Celestial?"

Prous immediately stood up from the chair and stared at him in shock.

He is not a young man who doesn't know anything. He knows the meaning of the Knights of the Holy Tribes more than anyone else! The influence of the Holy Tribe on the mainland is not a joke. In half of the stories circulating in the minstrels every year, there are those Knights of the Holy Tribes who represent bravery, uprightness and kindness.

In order to protect the peace of the mainland, they did not hesitate to fight heresy on the most dangerous and dark frontline. Basically, they had all kinds of heroic deeds, which showed the unrivaled power of the Light Hall in propaganda!

Over time, an impression has emerged in people's minds that all enemies of the Knights of the Holy Tribe are enemies of the mainland!

Then the Lord Xia Lan on the boat is—

Slightly cold sweat broke out, and Prous could no longer think about it.

"Where is Mr. Xia Lan?"
