The Story of Xia Yang's Parents 2
Although the Sea God Island people are leaving, it does not mean that these people on the island can no longer meet with the people on the island.
Because ordinary people on Sea God Island usually go out to sea to fish, and Sea God Island also has its own fleet, and needs to go out to buy supplies every month.
There are also many ordinary people working as shipwrights in the fleet.
These people living on the outlying islands can meet with their relatives and friends while the fleet is purchasing supplies.
You can also go to fishing places around the island and meet your relatives and friends.
Therefore, if Soul Master leaves, they will still have the opportunity to see their relatives and friends on the island, but it will just be a little troublesome.
Xia Shi's parents are ordinary people.
Therefore, they have never seen Xia Shi's son, their grandson.
Because, when Xia Shi had a child, his parents had been dead for several years.
At this time, Xia Shi left the island.
Standing at the stern of the boat and looking at Sea God Island going further and further away, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
After leaving Sea God Island, Xia Shi did not choose to go to the mainland of China, but stayed around the Heaven Dou Empire West Coast.
He is familiar with the sea, and Soul Skill is also suitable for maritime combat. Naturally, he prefers to stay in an environment he is familiar with.
In the first few years, he did travel around, traveling between various ports, and occasionally took on the tasks of escorting merchant ships and cleaning up Sea Beasts.
But gradually, he found that the money earned in this way was too little and his improvement was slow.
People who make a living at sea must either join the official or Spirit Hall fleet and be controlled by others, or they must have their own power.
In his early twenties, Xia Shi got his first boat.
It's said to be a boat, but it's actually just an old modified fishing boat, plus seven or eight brothers who are willing to do it with him.
They began to do less legal business, intercepting small merchant ships to collect "tolls", attacking single cargo ships, and occasionally accepting shady commissions.
Xia Shi has his own rules for doing things: do not kill prisoners, do not rob poor fishermen, and do not touch the old, weak, women and children.
This is a rare "benevolence" among pirates, and it has gradually allowed him to accumulate some reputation.
His North Mystic Black Tortoise Spirit has obvious advantages in sea battles, with extremely strong defense and ability to control the field. He quickly made a name for himself in the West Coast area.
As the fleet size gradually expanded, Xia Shi also began to consider more issues.
Pirates are a risky business and injuries are common.
If there could be a healer Soul Master on board, the brothers' casualties could be reduced by more than half.
Treatable Soul Master How precious is it?
Anyone with a little bit of ability is being offered by all the major forces, so how can they become pirates?
Maybe it's luck, maybe it's fate.
That spring, when Xia Shi's fleet was replenishing supplies at Vast Sea City, he heard that there was a healer Soul Master at the port who was helping people treat their illnesses, and he was looking for a ship to go to sea.
He went there in person and met the man who called himself Liu Feng.
Liu Feng looks to be in his fifties, has a calm temperament, doesn't talk much, has half-white hair, and looks a bit old.
He said that he was level 32, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, but with family medicine, it would not be a problem to treat ordinary injuries.
Xia Shi asked him to demonstrate on the spot, and Liu Feng did not refuse and treated an old injury of a crew member.
The technique is skillful and the effect is really good.
"Why go to sea?" Xia Shi asked him.
Liu Feng was silent for a moment and only said, "No reason, I just want to go to the sea and see a different way of living."
Xia Shi didn't ask any more questions and let him board the ship that day.
With Liu Feng as the ship's doctor, the fleet's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
Injured brothers can receive timely treatment and have less worries during battle.
Xia Shi feels more and more that this is the best deal he has ever made.
In less than five years, the name "North Mystic Black Tortoise" Xia Shi has become famous throughout West Coast.
He has his own fleet, three large ships, a dozen small boats, and hundreds of brothers.
It is no longer just a small fight, but has truly become a force on the sea.
As power grows, ideas change.
Xia Shi began to get tired of simple robbery and turned to a more "respectable" business.
Collect protection fees, escort merchant ships, and even secretly participate in some port trade.
In the process, he met all kinds of people.
The one who impressed me the most was a steward named Ning, who came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect branch.
That man was in charge of trade routes at the Star Luo Empire. He took a fancy to Xia Shi's ability and wanted to recruit him to develop land trade routes together.
"I plan to cross the entire Star Luo Empire this time."
Steward Ning said to him in Vast Sea City's tavern, "If the trade route is open, my status in the sect will be stable."
"Xia Shi, please come with me on this trip. Once this is done, Star Luo Empire Heracles River will be responsible for all the waterway business in the area."
Xia Shi looked out the window at the densely packed ships in the port, shook his head and said, "Boss Ning, I am Sea Soul Master."
"After leaving the sea, most of my abilities will be lost."
"Land... is not my place."
Steward Ning tried to persuade me several times and even promised better conditions, but Xia Shi finally refused.
It wasn't that I didn't want to go ashore, but that at that time, Xia Shi met another person.
During the time when Steward Ning recruited him, a big event happened on the sea.
Spirit Hall went on an expedition to Sea God Island, but returned with a great defeat.
After the war, Spirit Hall learned from the pain and decided to build a new port in West Coast that was completely under its own control and named it Xiling Harbor.
At the same time, we are recruiting Sea Soul Master. Even pirates can be accepted as long as they are willing to submit.
It was at this time that Xia Shi met Huo Yang.
Huo Yang is Deacon sent by the Spirit Hall to prepare Xiling Harbor Branch Hall, a capable and strong woman.
The first time the two met was during a conflict mediation. Xia Shi's men had a dispute with the port guard, and Huo Yang stepped in to deal with it.
She didn't take sides, she just discussed the matter as it happened, punished those who deserved them and compensated those who deserved them, simply and neatly.
Xia Shi At that time, I felt that this woman was different.
Later, after having more contact with him, he found that Huo Yang was not only principled in doing things, but also very powerful.
Level 41 Fire Attribute Soul Master, Martial Soul is Blazing Flame Tiger of Fire Attribute, and has extremely strong attack power.
More importantly, when the two of them are together, Martial Soul actually resonates wonderfully.
Over time, the two of them developed a mutual admiration for each other and developed a deep affection for each other.
Xia Shi, a man who is all-powerful at sea, often doesn't know what to say in front of Huo Yang.
Huo Yang has also changed from his usual coldness, occasionally revealing a rare softness.
The relationship was established on a rainy night.
That day Xia Shi's fleet encountered a storm and lost one ship.
After Huo Yang heard about it, he ran to the port in the rain to wait for him.
When Xia Shi saw Xia Shi ashore safe and sound, Huo Yang didn't say anything, but just stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
"Stop being a pirate."
Huo Yang said in Xia Shi's ear, "Xiling Harbor needs help, please help me."
Xia Shi was silent for a long time and finally nodded.
The process of clearing my name and getting ashore was smoother than expected.
