Chapter341 【Surge】
Year 1638 of the nautical calendar, the 17th day of the melting ice month.
The weather is sunny, the wind is from the southeast, and the temperature is moderate. It is suitable for fishing on the deck while drinking wine while the cold wind blows.
Li Jiu has fallen in love with fishing.
There is no way, mainly because...
Nothing to do.
Ever since he established his reputation in the waters of Calabis, he has become a symbol of invincibility in this sea.
Except for Erwin who can have a chance to touch him, no other force can compete with him.
But now Erwin and he are still in the honeymoon period, which means that no danger can happen to him on this sea.
One of the joys of sailing is the encounters at sea. After losing this most exciting and exciting part, Li Jiu's life inevitably entered a situation where there was nothing to do.
In order to find something to do for himself, Li Jiu began to study sea fishing, an entertainment project that only rich people could do in his previous life.
Of course, now, Li Jiu can be considered a rich man, and he is still the top rich man.
He drives the most luxurious private yacht, and has hundreds of strong bodyguards when he goes fishing. If he can't catch anything, he can directly ask the men in the sea to help him catch a big fish.
In short, in terms of fun level, it definitely exceeds those wealthy people in previous lives.
However, Li Jiu still followed the most fundamentalist principles of sea fishing and did not use those unconventional and foul-smelling plutocratic methods. He still focused on using his personal strength to conquer sea fish.
To this end, he specifically consulted the sea fishing experts on the boat about the details of sea fishing.
And who is this sea fishing expert? Of course it is Old John.
As a chef, an excellent cook, and a gourmet hunter, catching good fish is one of the abilities he must master.
He can also give specific advice on different fishing hooks, baits, and techniques based on different sea area conditions.
As expected of a man who once served as the Pirate King, he is very powerful.
Well, it sounds a little strange, but that's probably what it is.
Li Jiu has made rapid progress, and in just a few days, he is already considered a qualified fisherman.
So he became a little bored again, so he simply followed the example of his ancestors and started writing a diary.
Although as the saying goes, no serious person keeps a diary.
But you have to leave something behind to prove that you have been there and experienced it.
In the future, when my descendants open their diaries, they will be able to say, "My ancestors are awesome."
He is also someone who is on the road to establishing a sect.
Well, this sentence is a bit ambiguous, but it’s almost the same.
Even the content of the diary is not very easy to write.
If he were to write now, it would most likely be that he had nothing to do today and was fishing by leaning on the railing.
And it is foreseeable that this sentence will be used for many, many days in the future.
Wouldn’t it make people feel very improper?
With this in mind, Li Jiu thought for a while and wrote something on the parchment that still looked very impressive:
At noon on the 17th of the Melting Moon in the year 1638 of the Great Navigation, I felt that my boat was gradually leaving the waters of Calabis that I was familiar with. There was an unknown world ahead. Sitting next to the side of the boat, I held my fishing rod.
, although I am fishing for sea fish, but in my heart I feel that the whole world is gently surging below.
I am about to fish in five seas.
It is truly a turbulent era!
Well, this makes it more stylish, right?
Although it seemed to be a joking expression, Lijiu had indeed left the waters of Calabis.
There is a very obscure and indescribable atmosphere that is slowly coming over me.
That was the message conveyed to him by his special destiny star black hole.
Destiny, on a grander scale, is turning gently, and more magnificent waves and tides are coming.
Li Jiu was really excited.
————————
Leis Island is an emerging island that has been developed for no more than twenty years.
It has the same characteristics as most emerging islands, with few resources, a small arable area, no natural harbor, a complex composition of residents on the island, and complex ownership.
In the West China Sea, most of the resources are abundant, and the islands with large usable areas have been explored and occupied at least a hundred years ago.
The remaining islands were basically picked out. It was not until recent decades that as the large islands were overcrowded and resources were insufficient, people were forced to go to sea to develop the remaining desert islands.
Leis Island is the result of the development of such a typical desert island.
Its qualifications are not very good among many desert islands. The only resource on the island is a little iron ore, which is difficult to mine. The reserves are still very small and there is no port. The location itself is not bad.
, on the line that Wallis passes through, this may be the only advantage.
In the beginning, a group of pirates came here. The pirate captain at that time didn't know the reason. Maybe he had had enough of wandering at sea and wanted to settle down. In short, he just refused to leave and started to develop this place.
islands.
After initially developing the island and building a barely usable port, outsiders began to arrive one after another, and the entire island began to develop further.
After nearly twenty years of development, this island has reached a certain scale. Although the iron ore has been excavated long ago and the things planted are not in short supply, because it is close to the Wallis route, in recent years, with the West Sea,
As the situation eased, the entire pan-Western Sea trade gradually developed. Especially after Mike Barr established the Merchants Association, the connection between the North West Sea and the South West Sea was strengthened, causing the island of Leis to become more important and prosperous.
Disputes ensue.
The main reason for the dispute is the ownership of the islands.
Although Lys Island was originally developed by pirates, it is impossible for a small island to maintain its aloof status on the sea.
It must belong to a certain force.
Therefore, after many struggles in the game, Lys Island joined the Blood Sail Alliance, the largest force in the North West Sea near the Varis route, by paying a certain amount of trade every year.
But it was not annexed. Those who worked hard to build Leis Island still won some independent rights for the home they built.
After developing like this for many years, Leis Island has cultivated its own generation of residents.
Young people have begun to grow up.
However, today, in the afternoon of 1638, the winter of the Great Navigation Calendar, which has not yet passed, a drastic change is coming to the young people on this island.
A group of vicious gangsters, armed with guns and swords, set foot on this island that has been developing peacefully for many years. The dull air is dense in every corner.
The powerful murderous intention left everyone breathless.
