Azure sky, azure sea. A British patrol ship quietly drove on the surface of the sea.
Three ships loaded with metal sank to the bottom of the sea and could not be salvaged. The timber in the two boats was scattered all over the place instead. But unfortunately, Raine did not want these things.
Raine also thought he was gotten too cocky lately. If in the past, he would go to great lengths to collect all the wood.
But now it was different. A pearl can buy 10 units of wood. It was not good for his navigation with so much heavy and take-up spaced wood.
In the current situation, it is more important to ensure the speed of the ship unless it is on a navy-protected voyage.
In addition to some supply materials, the focus of everyone's salvage was still on the pearl.
Armin and the others were counting the pearls they had salvaged. With the two gold chests they had found, they had harvested nearly 30,000 pearls on this trip.
Of course, the pearls were secondary. The point was Avril's revenge was finally avenged.
Avril's mood was much more stable, and she sat alone on the deck, dazed.
Raine came over and sat beside her, "Hey, a pearl for your thought."
"Captain, am I... too cruel? Are you disappointed in me?"
Raine smiled faintly, "Oh, to be honest, I was afraid that you let them go."
Avril looked at Raine half-heartedly, "Really? In your mind, shouldn't I be an easily soft-hearted girl?"
"Yeah, that's why I was worried. But it's good you didn't let me down." Raine continued, "I used to be an ordinary person. Not even fought a few times. But I know the truth that to be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself."
"Avril, they can do that to your family, then they will also do that to others."
Avril repeated Raine's words blankly, "To be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself... Yes, if I let them go, then we would be in hot water."
Raine smiled and patted Avril's arm, ready to stand up. Suddenly, Avril pulled Raine's tiny hand, "Captain, you... nothing to ask me??"
"Yes, of course there is. I'm just looking at you in a low mood." Raine replied.
Avril was amused by Raine's money-hungry look. This was the first time she smiled since her revenge, "It's nothing really. Just... I finally avenged them."
"Captain, ask whatever you want."
Raine resat next to Avril, "Your family was the first group of mariners?"
"I don't know about that. But when my grandfather was young, he was a seaman indeed. That's why he had that chart."
Raine thought about it and said, "Didn't your grandfather ever mention treasure or anything?"
Avril carefully recalled for a while, but finally shook her head, "No."
Raine was a little disappointed.
"Oh, yes, Captain. Although my grandfather did not mention the treasure, he told me about a place." Avril suddenly woke up, "He mentioned that place to me and my brothers more than once."
"What place?"
"The Fountain of the Sun!" Avril recalled, "My grandfather said that somewhere at the bottom of the endless sea, a huge dragon guarding a cave there. There was no seawater in that cave. It was just like a strange space that the seawater could not enter it."
"In that cave, there is a fountain named Sun Fountain."
"My grandfather often said that human selfishness and evil deeds will eventually be punished. Greed and lust will create unparalleled demons. Only the Sun Fountain can wash away the sins of human beings."
Another esoteric legend. Raine had been immune to this. People had been also believing in God and Buddha in times of peace, let alone in today's world full of unknown and horror.
There should be a lot of these kinds of legends and prophecies just like spiritual pillars.
Raine pondered for half a day but did not understand what the old man wanted to express. Perhaps this just is an old man's faith.
Seemed like he can't count on this legendary treasure. It is better to change the subject.
"Avril, your road to revenge is not over yet."
"Um? Captain, you mean the United Merchants Bank? Aren't they too strong for us..."
"Yes, they are the boys in the back room!" Raine said, "Even if I do not want to trouble them, they will come to trouble us."
"Why? Have they found us out?" Avril looked at Raine nervously.
"It's not hard to find us. First, my current body is the Son of Poseidon. I won't be able to hide it sooner or later even if I hide deeper. Second, if the United Merchants Bank know that you were still alive, perhaps they would not give up to search for that so-called treasure."
"So, I believe they will get about us sooner or later whether the D-class bounty group or the United Merchants Bank. We must always be prepared." Raine rarely looked grave, "We must grow fast and be strong enough to fight them all the time."
"But you don't need to be nervous either. I didn't say we would go to them now. We should still develop first."
Although Raine was weak in the past and live in clover in no man's land, as his strength continued to grow, he would be involved in the Azure Era competition.
"So, Captain, What do we do next?"
"Next?" Raine winked mysteriously at Avril, "Do you know where the Black Hell merchant usually ship their slaves to be sold?"
"Captain, are you going to... buy Fancy's clans?"
"Of course, there are too few crew members now. If we encountered a cut-throat fight, y'all would not even have time to reload shells. I need to recruit more reliable crew members!"
Avril got excited all of a sudden. Raine called out When she was about to tell Fancy, "Don't tell them. Give them a surprise!"
........................
A month later, the ship docked at an island, Bankra Island.
This is not a small trading market or a harbor for docking ships. This is an island in human-class waters covering hundreds of kilometers!
There are large fences built around Bankra Island. According to Avril's introduction, these fences serve a great purpose. Besides defending against enemies, they can also divert the sea currents to avoid the island being flooded.
There are a large number of ships docked in the shallows outside the fence. Several of the harbors seem to be dedicated to large ships. The smallest ship inside is 35 meters!
Behind the enclosure, Raine saw the island was almost full of houses. densely packed.
In this era, the land is so precious. Naturally, no one dares to waste a little space.
"Holy shit, we finally see real land!" Raine was hyped and his eyes were full of fascination.
It was worth mentioning that now he had grown into the appearance of an eight or nine-year-old boy about one meter four.
"Wow!" Terry was even more full of shock, "Those who can afford to buy a house here must be tycoons!"
Raine didn't expect that houses are still a luxury after 300 years.
However, Raine was not here to see the house. He looked at the spectacular Bankra Island and smiled faintly.
"Yo, human-class sea? I'm coming!"
