Witch, I am really not the ancient god of the deep sea!
Chapter 19 Lighthouse
In stormy weather, sailing in a small boat and then going ashore is not an easy task.
Raindrops kept hitting Chen Qi's body. His thoughts changed from going ashore early at the beginning to just not falling off the boat.
His body became tired and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
I don't know how long it has been, the blazing day in the sky began to become weak and finally extinguished.
A bright moon with a slightly reddish color slowly rose from the end of the coastline.
This marked the arrival of night and the dispersal of day -
Is it night... The weak Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dark world in front of him.
The storm tortured his body.
In the heavy rain, his perception of time was blurred.
The steam boat was also damaged by the impact of the waves, and its speed was greatly reduced.
I am afraid that this boat will not be usable after it goes ashore.
However, there is also good news.
As night falls, the storm is now only wind and some drizzle.
Where am I? Chen Qi looked forward against the sea breeze.
Suddenly, a faint light hit his eyes.
It was light again... Chen Qi raised his head and looked in the direction of the light.
The light was getting stronger and stronger.
Facing the strong light suddenly, he had to squint his eyes.
In the blurry distance, above a huge tower building, there was an old man holding an oil lamp, looking at him with a puzzled look.
It was a lighthouse...
Chen Qi lay on the boat, with a faint smile on his lips.
Finally...
He finally arrived on land...
Seeing the lighthouse meant that he was not far from the town and the shore.
Chen Qi shook his head, sat up, and stretched his muscles.
Lighthouses are important navigation buildings for sea navigation.
The lighthouses in the Witch Sea are also responsible for guarding against special situations such as large sea beasts and island fleet attacks.
Therefore, the keeper of the lighthouse is usually a highly respected, highly inspired, and highly powerful extraordinary person.
This is an extremely boring, but extremely important job.
The lighthouse keeper, who is over 70 years old, looked in the direction of Chen Qi.
Today's storm has lasted for so long, how can there still be someone on the sea!
And it seems to be a young man!
This is too rough! As an old man, the lighthouse keeper always cares for young people.
He moistened his throat and shouted in a loud voice:
"Young man, are you okay? Do you need help!?"
"What did you say? The voice is too soft!"
Chen Qi patted his head and poured out the water in his ears.
After he saw the light, he became energetic!
In any case, smile first, then wave!
When are you still laughing? Be serious! The lighthouse keeper shouted anxiously in a louder voice:
"The wind is wrong tonight, there may be monsters in the sea! Go ashore quickly, don't go out to sea today or tomorrow!"
He shook his head. The boy didn't look nervous at all. I'm afraid he didn't know what happened tonight.
He was very inspired and could clearly feel that there was a hint of ancient breath in today's storm, like the whisper of a monster.
It had been a long time since this kind of wind blew over the sea.
According to his experience, this sea breeze that sounded like a monster's roar meant that some monsters that were originally active in the deep sea would also come to the surface of the sea!
I'm afraid that something big had already happened.
Today, many fishermen and merchants had encountered accidents.
And at night, sea beasts will be even more rampant!
This young man, sitting in such a small boat, was lucky not to be attacked by sea beasts.
"Go ashore quickly!"
The lighthouse keeper shouted loudly, but he didn't dare to guarantee that any strange things would emerge from the sea.
"Okay! I'll go ashore right away!"
Chen Qi replied, and slightly increased the speed of the steam boat.
As the propeller turned, his boat headed towards an island town called 'Maro Town'.
This was the town he was about to arrive at, and the town where the original owner was born.
Chen Qi opened the sea chart again and took a look at the terrain of the Kingdom of Shells and the location of Maro Town.
The big city near the sea in the Kingdom of Bei is called Moonstone City.
In addition to Moonstone City, there are a large number of islands on the coastline of the Kingdom of Bei where humans can survive.
Moonstone Islands, Devil Islands, etc.
Towns of all sizes have been built on these islands.
And Maro Town is one of the many towns in the Moonstone Islands.
By reading the memories of the original owner, Chen Qi has a lot of knowledge about this place.
First of all, for everyone in the Kingdom of Bei, the archipelago is not a good place.
The transportation is not good, there is a lack of entertainment measures, and there are often threats from waves and sea beasts.
Not to mention the increasingly arrogant pirates recently.
The small town on the island is a remote countryside.
Many young people in the archipelago yearn for the wealthy big cities in Bei.
They get up early and work late every day just to be able to go to the big city and have a house of their own.
Every year, a large number of young people leave the archipelago and go to the big cities in the inland of the Kingdom of Bei.
However, in Chen Qi's opinion, Maro Town is a pretty good novice village.
In addition to the fact that he has a household registration in Maro Town.
More importantly, as the rift tides begin, many rifts will be created offshore.
And the cracks are extraordinary resources, land, oil, money, and power!
When the tidal wave of the Witch Sea's rift arrives completely, it won't be the people from the archipelago who rush inland.
Instead, people from the inland came to the sea for adventure, just like the gold rush in the United States, setting off the adventurous era of great navigation.
These islands, which are closer to the crack-intensive areas, are more popular with adventurers than big cities because they have better transportation locations.
Well, house prices may still rise slightly...
"Phew, here we are!"
Chen Qi stopped the steam boat and jumped excitedly to the port of Maruo Town.
Then, like a cat, shake the water off your body!
This is the feeling of solid land, cool!
After Chen Qi set up the steam boat, he was going to get some food first. He was really hungry.
The lighthouse keeper in the distance was relieved when he saw Chen Qi docking.
Fortunately nothing serious happened...
Suddenly, the lighthouse keeper had an idea.
Wasn't that young man just now the young man who contracted leviathan a few months ago and went to work alone in a big city...
He actually came back and bought a boat... The lighthouse keeper was a little emotional.
Leviathanosis, as the name suggests, is the infection of human bodies by terrifying deep-sea creatures.
If you want to cure it, you will probably have to undergo bloody surgery, and even if you go to an unlicensed black doctor, it will cost you a lot of money.
Even he himself might not be able to shell out that much money right away.
In his opinion, if Chen Qi could come back, he was either ready to "die in his hometown".
Or they are forced to join some illegal organizations and make money by selling themselves, and their fate is worrying.
"It's not easy for young people of this generation..."
The lighthouse keeper sighed and shook his head.
…
…
A storm had just ended, and the pier in Marlow Town was particularly deserted.
Chen Qi walked towards the town while rummaging through his backpack.
In his backpack, apart from the treasure map, were the medical supplies given to him by Little Crow.
Among them, the ones that can be sold without losing money should be healing potions.
This kind of good thing that can heal injuries quickly is valuable everywhere.
The problem is that Chen Qi himself currently has a huge demand for healing potions.
There are also painkillers and sea animal oil that can calm the mind, which are also items that can be sold.
But when all the sundries are added up, the selling price is not much...
Could it be that I am going to work in a factory... Chen Qi frowned.
In Maro Town, there is a fracture mine with 0% distortion, and anyone can apply.
You still have to work after time travel, no, absolutely not...
As a strategy UP master, he knows that in many cases, working part-time is a good choice.
However, he now has a black knife with not very good attributes. The fastest way to make money is by exploring cracks.
Chen Qi shook his head. He didn't even have any money on him now.
Gold coins are more popular among pirates. Among ordinary people, shell coins are more commonly used as the official currency of the country of Bei.
Apart from their different names, shell coins are very similar to Earth's currency and are also paper money.
As a country in charge of the nature of "Bei", the currency of the Kingdom of Bei is relatively stable.
Shell coins are also relatively common in other countries and can be regarded as a currency that maintains its value.
"Until I get money, can I just continue to eat bread soaked in seawater..."
Chen Qi looked at the bread soaked in seawater in his backpack and smiled bitterly.
His current money is not enough for him to have a good meal.
But he is a time traveler after all, so starving is not a big deal.
Suddenly, the aroma of barbecue wafted into his nose!
Who is having a barbecue at night? It was still the night just after the storm!
Chen Qi looked in the direction of the fragrance.
The Pier Tavern in Maro Town is also the only pub on the entire island.
I saw a group of young people grilling fish around the oven outside the tavern.
And inside the tavern, you can hear the extremely noisy voices of people!
At night after a heavy rain, there are still so many people...
Is this pub so popular?
Chen Qi was slightly surprised. Even in a tavern in the city, it would be difficult for there to be so many people.
He looked up and saw that the tavern's plaque read in a banner:
"Today is a great day. All drinks, meat, and vegetables are free of charge in the tavern!"
free!
All, all free...
Chen Qi's heart was beating loudly.
This is just an ordinary tavern on a small island. All orders are free, which is enough for the boss to work for a month or even two months in vain!
This is undoubtedly a huge expense for a small boss in a rural town.
What a good day? Can he bleed so much?
Chen Qi thought and took a few steps forward with curiosity.
Unconsciously, he had stepped past a drunkard at the door and squeezed into the noisy tavern.
