Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A crisp knock came from the wooden door of the house.

Sigurt's voice sounded outside: "Arka, are you ready? We are going to sea today."

"Right away, I'll be right away."

Alka in the room had just gotten ready. He picked up a piece of bread on the table, stuffed it into his mouth randomly, chewed it twice, and rushed out of the house.

Looking at the bread that Alka was chewing in his mouth, Sigurt swallowed the words he wanted to ask Alka if he had breakfast.

I had no choice but to pull him and say, "Then let's go quickly. The ship should be setting sail in a while."

After saying that, he took Alka on the path through the town and came to the port of the island.

Facing the salty and humid sea breeze in the morning and the slightly hot sunshine.

Fishing boats that could only carry two or three people slowly left the port.

The fishing boats on the island usually set off in the early morning and may not return until the afternoon or even at night.

Only the two large sailing ships seen before were still at the port.

One of the cargo warehouses has been opened, and many sailors who have never seen it are carrying packages of wheat into the warehouse.

There was also someone who looked like a supervisor watching from the side.

"Hug them well, don't let them scatter or get wet. These are golden ears of wheat."

At this time, there were only a few bags of wheat piled on the wooden planks not far away, and it would not take long for them all to be transported into the cabin.

"This is Uncle Hols' merchant ship. Uncle Hols, you know that, right?"

Alka nodded, remembering this person.

He is also a resident of the island. You can often see him in taverns or at the port. Did you expect that he works on a merchant ship?

Sigurt looked at the sailboat, patted Alka on the shoulder, shook his head, and motioned for them to get on.

"Uncle Halls relies on this ship and often transports goods between the surrounding islands. Sometimes I will go with him a few times to be a sailor on it."

The two chatted, boarded the ship through the connecting wooden planks, and came to the deck.

"Hurry up, you lazy idiots, check if the cables and locks are ready, and you..."

This middle-aged man, who looked a bit thick and thick, and looked a bit like a reckless man, was yelling and cursing the sailors around him.

Alka didn't remember seeing him, so he probably wasn't a resident of the island.

He was wearing very ordinary linen short sleeves and shorts, with a long sheathed knife on his waist.

Suddenly he saw two people without work standing in front of him, and he was ready to scold them together.

"It turns out to be Sigert, here you are."

As he spoke, he smiled, walked over and hugged Sigurt.

Then he saw Alka next to Sigurt: "This is..."

"This is my brother, Alka." Sigurt introduced.

Alka also quickly reached out his hand: "Alka Lagu, nice to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Sigurt's brother is my brother. Just call me Toefl."

As he spoke, he stretched out his broad palm, held Alka's hand, and shook it vigorously twice.

Seems very enthusiastic.

Sigurt said next to him: "He has just grown up, bring him to the ship to see the world."

TOEFL nodded understandingly and laughed twice.

"A man in the sea should become a man in the storm, hahaha!"

After exchanging a few words.

A tinkling sound like a bell came from the bow.

Hearing this voice, TOEFL said quickly: "I still have work to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he left.

Before Alka could turn her head, she heard a rough voice.

"Sail!"

Sigurt also pulled Alka forward: "We are about to sail the boat. It is a bit bumpy. Find something to hold on to and stand still."

The words fell before Alka could hold the baffle next to him.

With a brushing sound, the sail was pulled down.

With the force of the wind, the canvas swelled, pushing the sailboat away from the port.

Sigurt saw that Alka was not holding on to the thing that fixed his body, and immediately wanted to reach out and grab him.

After all, this was Alka's first time boarding a ship. If he didn't stand firm, he might fall down.

People who are not used to the rocking and bumping during navigation can easily roll into a ball.

However, before he could reach out his hand, he saw that Alka's legs were firmly nailed to the deck as if there were nails on them.

There was no instability at all with the rocking of the sailboat.

"Have you been on a ship before?" Sigurt said in surprise.

Alka shook his head. He just felt that this shaking would not make him lose his balance.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the ring on his left thumb.

It seems that when sailing on the sea, the balance and body coordination brought by the ring are indeed very useful.

Unexpectedly, it was this attribute that first made Alka experience the strange power.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start walking on the sailboat that had just sailed and had not yet completely regained its stability.

This feeling of moving smoothly on a shaking object is really strange.

"Sigurt, look at his posture, he is really a natural sailor, just like an old sailor."

Alka looked in the direction of the sound. A middle-aged man with messy hair and a well-groomed beard mixed with a few white hairs strode over.

The clothes he wore were obviously different from those of the sailors around him, a brown-gray leather coat, and a hat similar to a captain's hat on his head.

On the strong body, there is a very simple-looking long knife at the waist.

After speaking, without waiting for Sigurt to answer, he came to Alka's side, patted his shoulder, and squeezed the muscles on his shoulder.

"Alka, why don't you come and work on my ship from now on? Treasure hunting may not be suitable for you. Hahaha."

This is none other than Halls, the captain of the ship and a resident of the island.

Sigurt walked over quickly and said with a rather arrogant expression and tone: "Uncle Halls, you don't know, Alka is now a real treasure hunter."

As he spoke, he patted Alka's chest proudly.

One piece is like finding a treasure.

Then he talked about how Alka had found the magician's treasure a few days ago, although he had already gotten there first.

"Good boy, that's good. I didn't expect you to find me. I really underestimated you before."

Halls looked at him as if he just knew Alka.

Did you never expect that the child who once loved playing treasure hunt games has become a real treasure hunter?

Alka immediately laughed and said in a showy tone: "No, no, you are really over the top, it's just a little treasure."

Seeing that Alka was still the same as before, Hols couldn't help but shook his head in amusement, laughed twice, patted his shoulder and left.

Siger pulled Alka towards the poop at the stern of the ship.

After bypassing some sailors saying hello, we came to a small warehouse.

It was filled with various iron items, like a tool library.

Long sailor's daggers were hung firmly on several of the wooden stands.

Sigurt walked up to find two daggers that looked good and had scabbards. After taking them off, he handed one of them to Alka.

"This is……"

Seeing Alka's confusion, Sigurt explained: "This is the sea. There are too many dangers. You can't protect yourself properly without weapons."

After Alka took it, he looked at the sailor sword in his hand.

This kind of sword is more similar to a short sword, probably shorter than an adult's entire arm. The wider blade is in an arc shape, and the hand guard is a D-shaped hand guard that extends to the handle.

A weapon that is very useful for chopping, with a relatively short blade that can also be used in more complex situations.

Pulling out the scabbard and looking at it, the blade flashed with a cold metallic light.

"But I don't know how to use weapons."

"It's okay. It's mainly to make you brave. If you are really in danger, you will at least have confidence, right?"

Sigurt adjusted to the short knife in his hand and raised his head and said with a smile.

"And this kind of knife only requires you to be able to cut. It doesn't necessarily require much experience. It can cause damage to the enemy with random slashes."

Alka nodded. Although he said this, he still liked it in his heart.

After all, this is a real weapon with an edge. I held it in my hand to compare with it, and even made several poses with it.
