The next morning.

The sky in the east was just revealed, and there was still a little water remaining on the wooden deck of the Sea Wolf, walking through the waves. Eddie Campbell put his hands on the side of the boat that was tall, his eyes narrowed slightly, breathing freely with the humid air, and enjoying the blowing of the sea breeze.

Edie breathed a sigh of relief.

The weather on the sea was changing. Last night, a sudden heavy rain and wind and waves made everyone on the boat experience what the bad temper of the sea is. The bumpy boat made many people vomit.

Among them is Edie's businessman friend, poor Milne has already vomited and is lying in a hammock like a dead dog.

As a level 7 mid-level warrior, Edie's body is much stronger than that of ordinary people. The bumps caused by the wind and waves did not have much impact on him, but the terrifying smell emitted by the vomit still made the noble young master miserable. This is also the reason why Edie came to the deck early in the morning.

In fact, it's not just Edie, but many people come to the deck to get air.

The sailors on the Sea Wolf, who, or "they", rose up their sails under the command of the Black Scale Fishman, and wiped the water from the wooden deck.

The surface of these dense oak decks is coated with a layer of resin, which has strong waterproofing function. If the accumulated water on the surface cannot penetrate, it needs to be wiped manually.

"Hey, sir, please move."

The common phrase with a strange accent came into Eddy's ears. Eddy turned around and saw a black-scale fishman standing behind him with a ball of rag, an employee on the boat.

Edie nodded and smiled at the fishman, and walked to the place that had been cleaned up. After a brief time yesterday, Edie could no longer regard these monsters from the overseas archipelago as ordinary monsters.

Except for their different appearances, these monsters in the overseas archipelago are no different from humans.

It's not just Edie, it's also what most passengers on the ship feel.

In fact, Eddy believes that these monsters on the ship are better than most civilians in Red River City, which is an indescribable feeling. Eddy feels that these monsters are full of energy and are full of energy in everything they do.

You should know that although Nord Hill is a very powerful plane and has developed magic civilization, these precious resources are in the hands of the ruling class represented by the nobles. Civilians do not enjoy the convenience brought by magic, so that spiritual numbness has become a norm.

However, these barbaric and backward monsters can maintain a good mental outlook, which surprised Eddie and was also very curious.

"Hey, Fishman, can we talk?"

The busy black-scale fish man continued to work on his hands and turned his head to look at the human being asking questions.

"Of course, guests from afar, and my name is Kem Michao."

"Hello, Kam, can you tell me about your hometown?"

When looking for opportunities in an unfamiliar environment, you must first understand the environment. The most effective and cheap way to understand the environment is to ask locals.

Speaking of his hometown, Kem paused his movements and spoke proudly.

"My hometown is on Nuchao Island, which is the territory of our Dark Tide clan, yes! It is the territory! That is the reward given to us by the owner of the archipelago - Lord Bailong, you may not know that our Dark Tide clan was one of the earliest fishmen to follow Lord Bailong,..."

Edie patiently listened to the fishman telling the glorious history of the Dark Tide Clan, but what he wanted to know was not history, but the current situation of the overseas archipelago.

"The Unchao Clan is really an amazing clan. Since the Unchao Island was given by Lord White Dragon, do the Unchao Clan have any privileges?"

Kem was very happy to hear the compliments from humans.

"Privacy? Of course there is! The taxes on the Imperial Island only need to be paid 70% to the White Fort, and the remaining 30% will be retained by the Imperial Clan, and they will be used where needed, such as repairing the hatching pool and building several more schools..."

Edie was shocked when she heard the school.

"School?! The Anchao Clan still builds schools?"

"Of course! About fifty years ago, Lord White Dragon personally issued an order that every gathering place must have a school, and every underage fishman must go to school to study until he masters basic texts and some archipelago common sense."

Kam shrugged at the stunned human.

"Of course, the teachers of these junior schools can only teach these primary knowledge. In addition, some schools can also teach advanced knowledge such as magic and martial arts. Such higher education institutions are not something ordinary fishman can enter, which requires certain talents and money."

"But Lord White Dragon is very kind. It provides us ordinary fishmen with loans, and we only need to pay it back after graduation. If we can join the official institution of White Castle with excellent results, we don't have to pay back the money."

"I am trying to raise money to pay off my debts now, and I forgot to say that I am a second-level soldier."

After saying that, Cam showed his anger. Edie looked at the faint energy in the fishman's hand and nodded. Unexpectedly, the fishman who was not good-looking in front of him was still a professional.

Edie quickly glanced at the fishman's thin arms and legs. The warrior was a profession that relied on his body to make a living, and the fishman was weak. According to his estimate, the real combat power of the fishman in front of him might be similar to that of an ordinary human veteran.

Of course, it would be a different matter if it is in the sea.

"Can you introduce me to the academy system of the overseas archipelago? I'm very curious."

"The schools here are divided into ordinary schools and magic martial arts academy. Ordinary schools can only teach some ordinary knowledge. Magic martial arts academy is divided into three levels: junior, intermediate and advanced."

"There are the most basic magic martial arts academies, at least one thousand, there are only fifty-six intermediate magic martial arts academies, and only five advanced magic martial arts academies."

"In addition, there are a few special academies, such as the Alchemy Academy, which specializes in cultivating alchemy talents, the military academies that provide talents to the White Fort army, and the most powerful Holy Dragon Academy, but the Holy Dragon Academy is only open to absolute geniuses and descendants of those who have great dedication to the White Fort."

Kem's tone was filled with admiration for the Holy Dragon Academy, and Edie was already stunned.

Even the Kingdom of Horn, a kingdom that has been passed down for thousands of years, has no more than thirty academies that can teach magic and martial arts knowledge, but the overseas archipelago...

The fishman looked at Eddie in a daze and smiled. This was not the first human being tortured to doubt his life. It turned around and continued its work.

Not long after, Edie woke up and saw the fishman who was already busy, and his throat rolled and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The wild land in the impression of the Overseas Islands is actually more developed than the Kingdom of Horn, a kingdom that has been established for thousands of years.

Eddy finally understood why he saw such a good mental outlook in these monsters. The development level of overseas archipelago is no less than that of the powerful countries in the south.

The poor news blocked himself and others, thinking that this was a wild place. Edie smiled self-deprecatingly, and at the same time, he had more expectations for his journey. He continued to inquire about the news from others...

More than an hour later, Eddy discovered that there were several fishmen gathering at the bow of the boat, and among them were Kem Dark Tide, and they were discussing something in the fishman language.

Then, in the curious eyes of everyone, several fishmen dragged a huge fishing net and jumped directly into the sea from the boat.

Everyone watched the boat side. At this time, the wind and waves on the sea were not heavy. Several fishmen dragged their open fishing nets and dived into the sea without a trace. At the same time, the ship slowed down.

A strong man couldn't help but sigh.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's so convenient. If you want to eat fish, just drag the fishing net into the sea to get it."

A junior mage in a robe rolled his eyes.

"That's as simple as you think. The danger in the sea is not less than that in the forest. Haven't you seen the harpoons on their backs? They are like us human hunters entering the forest, and they are risking their lives to hunt."

The kowtower sailor spoke proudly.

"What you said is not right. Fishman goes into the sea to catch fish, but you don't have to risk your life."

Seeing everyone's eyes shifting to him, the dog-headed man introduced this novel way of fishing to everyone.

"It's simple, not simple. The most difficult step in this way of fishing is to find the fish, and other predators often appear around the fish."

"It's not difficult. The martyrs often clean up high-risk animals in the ocean, so in most cases, our brave martyrs sailors won't encounter too tricky predators. If everything goes well, we can eat fresh seafood at noon."

“So that’s what it is….”

Everyone suddenly realized.

More than an hour later, the fish people came back and brought their spoils - sea fish swinging in a net.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the fishing net was dragged onto the boat by sailors, and the fish in the net were bouncing on the deck.

Edie had a good look and saw the two sea fishes with silver patterns on their bodies in the fishing net at a glance, and their pupils shrank.

"Good guy! Silver thread fish!"

Silver-wire fish is a precious sea fish. It is small in size and can grow up to two feet at most. It moves like lightning in the water and tastes extremely delicious. They live in sea water about 500 meters below the sea surface, which is extremely difficult for human fishermen to catch, but once they catch one, they will not have to worry about it for a few years.

Because even in port cities like Victoria Harbor, silver-wire fish can buy a pound of hardware coins, and in inland cities like Horn, the price will be twenty times higher, because silver-wire fish must live in sea water at around zero degrees and are extremely difficult to transport.

Edie quickly walked towards the cabin and told the news about the businessman friend lying in the hammock.

Upon hearing this, Milne's tired body immediately burst out with endless strength. He excitedly got up from the hammock and ran out the door. The speed was so fast that Eddie, the serious mid-level warrior, was ashamed.

The two of them squeezed out the crowd and happened to see the fishman taking out the silver-lined fish and putting it into a bucket of ice.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Milne's eyes. It was obvious that these fishmen were identifiable and the idea of ​​picking up bargains would not work.

At noon, there were indeed some more dishes and delicious seafood on the boat.

Eating delicious seafood, Milne became excited again. It was indeed correct to come to the overseas archipelago. It was full of opportunities. As long as he could find a stable supply channel, he could benefit from trade.

The two friends immediately exchanged ideas. Eddie planned to set up her own adventure group to find precious medicinal materials, gems, and hunt extraordinary creatures, while Miln planned to find a local partner to buy ships to form his own caravan.

Both of them felt that their future was full of hope.

Suddenly, a scream came from the deck.

"Demonized creature!!!"

The two people in the cabin changed their faces. After experiencing the magic disaster a few years ago, the mainland talked about demonized creatures changing color.

Then, noisy discussions came from the deck. During the discussions, Edie did not hear any fear, nor did anyone escape back to the cabin. The two couldn't help but feel very confused.

The two walked out of the cabin and found an empty space on the deck, and saw the scene where everyone was watching.

On the sea not far from the ship, a huge turtle was carrying a demonized shark full of blood-red patterns on its back. Of course, the shark was not too big, and it was dead. A group of fishmen were followed around the huge turtle.

These fishmen are well-equipped and hold a spear against large creatures in their hands. The spear is shining cold, making people shudder. Eddy even saw a fishmen mage holding a staff.

It seems that this is the sea parade team of White Fort.

During the bragging of the Gnoll Captain, Eddy learned about the existence of the White Fort Sea Patrol Team, a team of elite fishmen, who were responsible for parading the waters of the overseas archipelago, hunting high-level extraordinary creatures and demonized beasts to ensure the safety of the overseas archipelago.

After opening routes to overseas islands from major ports, the cruise has been increased several times.

In the distance, a fishman from the sea parade team saw everyone on the boat, climbing onto the shark's corpse, waved enthusiastically to everyone, and everyone responded enthusiastically.

...

Two days later in the afternoon.

Eddy and Milne stood at the bow of the Sea Wolf, looking excitedly at the huge island on the sea level, or a small continent - Coomlinge.

Xuetao City, an emerging city at the mouth of the Xuehui River, is the terminal of the Sea Wolf's voyage and their destination.

As we get closer and closer to Xuetao City, the color of the sea water under the ship becomes lighter and lighter. From the beginning, the blue color has become transparent and colorless.

Everyone on the Sea Wolf looked at the neat white houses in Xuetao City and felt excited.

Dangdangdangdangdangdang!

The bell to get off the boat was ringing. Eddie and Milne, who had already prepared, carried their bags and rushed to the newly built pier that exuded the oak fragrance.

In the fiery sunset and amid the chirping of seagulls, the two teenagers rushed to the city of hope with their dreams.
Chapter completed!
