Chapter 229
Fang Yuhao walked into a bookstore.

Books are a luxury here.

The owner of the bookstore was facing a big box, smiling stupidly.

A ray of bright sunlight appeared on his face, and his whole body was illuminated with a pale white color. This was because his skin had unhealthy spots because he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

He even laughed wildly like a drug addict, indulged in the sunshine, and didn't even notice Fang Yuhao's arrival.

"Jingle Bell."

The magic bell in front of the door rang suddenly, and the shop owner finally reacted and covered the box with a snap.

"Hello, what book do you want to buy?"

Fang Yuhao picked two books on navigation, put them on the counter, and took out a few silver coins, "I have some questions, and I want to ask you."

For the sake of a deal, the owner of the bookstore didn't show any impatience, "What's your problem?"

Fang Yuhao took out a world map, "Isn't the continent behind the Boulder City uninhabited?"

"Of course not! How can humans survive away from the sea? Moreover, it gets colder the further west you go, and it can directly freeze humans to death. You simply don't know how cold it is!"

The owner of the bookstore thought for a while and then said: "It is just said... that the Stone God lives on the other side of the continent, which is a paradise full of sunshine! However, the best expedition troops cannot cross the entire continent on foot and can only pass through The way of the ocean, to the sunny sea.”

"Is the entire Wuguang Continent full of coal?" Fang Yuhao asked curiously.

"Of course, this is the gift of the stone god!" The shop owner said very piously: "It has been 2000 years since the opening of the second era, maybe... we only dug up one millionth of the coal in the entire continent. .”

The so-called first era may be an ancient century with extremely advanced technology.However, due to a certain disaster, the planet stopped rotating, and the current "Second Age" was formed.Anyway, in the eyes of humans in this world, everything in the First Era is good and high-tech...

Fang Yuhao nodded, and left the bookstore with two books.

Now there is the first clue, about "Stone God" Emilia.This deity lives on the other side of the continent.

There are a total of three serious gods in this world, namely "Stone God", "Salt God" and "Storm God".

For the time being, Fang Yuhao doesn't know whether the "gods" in this world are real or not.

"Anyway, if you have a chance, you can visit these gods. I hope they are wise."

Judging from the known information so far, "Stone God" Emilia prefers the human side and has a large number of devout believers; "Salt God" is extremely fierce and curses at every turn, and it favors all kinds of marine life.

As for the Storm God, it seems to be neutral.Occasional disturbances are caused by the God of Storms.

If you want to explore "gods", the best way is of course... sailing on the sea!
Fang Yuhao flipped through two sailing books under the street lamp, and under the influence of [Navigation Talent], he quickly mastered the tricks.

He walked quickly to the pier.

"Snapped!"

Then there were screams of pain.

A smuggler was being whipped.The prisoner was tied to the Xingtai, and the places where he might be beaten except the buttocks were tightly wrapped, and then he was whipped.

The whip is a cane whip produced from "Namen Moor", soaked in some kind of religious liquid, and the whole process is very sacred.

A wizard was checking the mental state of the prisoner with a smile.

The strong executioner took the whip in his hand, turned it in a big circle, "cracked", and beat his buttocks desperately.This whip can consume most of the strength of the executioner.

With this whip, the prisoner didn't even scream, and passed out from the pain.

The surrounding onlookers whispered: "After seeing so many whippings, no one can survive the third whipping soberly."

"... What did he smuggle?"

"It is said that it is a kind of jewelry produced in the volcanic belt. Each jewelry can be sold for several gold coins! Then I was reported by my companions."

The wizard began to restore the prisoner's consciousness.Caning must be carried out when the prisoner is mentally alert to intensify the pain.

Fang Yuhao watched for a while and lost interest.It's just a way to deter the smugglers... He's not going to smuggle anyway.

His ultimate goal is to explore the secrets of this world.

There is also a large-scale talent recruitment site nearby, and every voyage has to risk death.A dark ocean without light, the level of danger has been greatly increased.But the crisis is accompanied by wealth, and the young people who come to the wharf are still flocking to it.

"...Almost all the nobles obtained their first gold from sailing. The wealth of the last era is hidden in the endless ocean! Especially the mysterious no man's land, an area that few people explore..." a person wearing The flamboyant aristocrats, chanting provocative slogans, are delivering an emotional speech.

Behind him, there was a gigantic steel ship, and the hideous gun barrels exuded a metallic luster.This kind of force alone can bring enough sense of security.

"Let's conquer the ocean and sea monsters!"

"Marquis Edward, will you also go on this voyage?"

"Of course, our fleet will go to the mysterious Arctic Ocean this time! We have the most sophisticated equipment and can kill powerful sea beasts!"

"Wow!" Many young people shouted excitedly, eager to go to sea immediately.

Fang Yuhao has no interest in competing with so many people, nor is he interested in exploring the Arctic Ocean.That ran counter to his goal, he wanted to go to the sunny sea and meet the so-called "stone god".

Carefully browse the various recruitment information on the bulletin board.

After a few minutes, Fang Yuhao walked up to a large steam cargo ship.Although it is not comparable to the [-]-ton giant ship of the great nobleman, this ship also looks to have a tonnage of seven or eight thousand tons.

The long voyage has made the bottom of the deck full of shellfish.Some sailors were diving into the water, hanging shells with knives, and they looked like water ghosts with disheveled hair in the dark environment.

"Are you recruiting sailors? Go to the Sunshine Sea?"

"Yes."

The captain in his 40s carefully examined Fang Yuhao's face, frowned and said, "Young man, you should know that the Sunshine Sea is the most distant destination, and it comes with huge risks...Your life is still very short." Long, you shouldn't be going to that kind of place."

Fang Yuhao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

"Sorry sir, please give me a chance!"

Fang Yuhao said very sincerely: "I want a large sum of money to pay off my personal debts, so I have to take a risk. I can watch astrology, use a compass, and use mathematics to calculate the position of a ship. I think there must be something useful on your ship." I deserve my place... I hope you will give me a chance."

"Do you know astrology?"

"Yes!"

The captain was slightly surprised. In this era, there are not many people who graduated from college, and there are even fewer people who know astrology and compass.The star map in the sky will change with the seasons of the year. It is not so easy to master it. You must know a little mathematics, astronomy and geography.

He looked at Fang Yuhao. Although this young man was dressed in ordinary clothes, he had clear eyes and a spirit that ordinary people did not have.

Fang Yuhao was tested several questions one after another, such as what is the difference in the astrology throughout the year, the calculation method of latitude and longitude, common sense of ocean navigation, and common sense of various emergencies, etc.All the answers were better than expected, as if this young man was already a skilled sailor who had experienced several long-distance voyages.

"Look at my hand," said the captain at last.

A red light flickered in his hand.

Fang Yuhao took a step back subconsciously, just frowning, without any change on his face.

Seeing that his "frightening technique" had no effect, the captain was quite satisfied.He was worried that some newly recruited sailors had poor psychological qualities, and they would infect others with their fearful psychology after sailing for a few days.He definitely doesn't want this kind of person.

"You follow me here."

The captain said a few words to the first mate beside him, and the first mate began to examine Fang Yuhao's body up and down.Then another wizard came. This old wizard shined a crystal ball on Fang Yuhao.

"Don't worry, lad, just see if you have been cursed by the gods."

The second officer at the back was comparing the portraits of wanted criminals issued by the navy, but Fang Yuhao's face was not matched.

"Should not be a wanted criminal."

After a full set of inspections, the captain suddenly knew: "What's your name?"

"Hot."

The captain waved his hand, "Come on board, Haote, there is a place for you among the sailors!"

The interview was successful, Fang Yuhao was overjoyed, and followed the chief mate onto the cargo ship. He shared a room with an old sailor.

"Don't worry, I, old Duncan, will take care of the young people. When I see you, I think of my son who is still studying. In a few years, he will be as old as you and go to sea." A senior citizen The slightly older, good-tempered sailor said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Duncan." Fang Yuhao greeted politely.

After putting away his few clothes, Fang Yuhao began to move the goods with the others, mainly coal and steel.

Sell ​​the unique products of Boulder City to other places, and then bring back the special products from other places.Almost all merchant ships make money this way.

"Hot, your strength is really great!"

"Where is it?" Fang Yuhao smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing Fang Yuhao lifting a [-]-jin coal by himself, the veteran sailors were dumbfounded, and buried their desire to teach the rookie a lesson.

In his current incarnation, he spent nearly 220 pieces of belief, and his cell activity was around [-], which is "far beyond the level of ordinary people". He could lift two hundred catties of coal without much effort.

Fang Yuhao did the work of two people alone, and even the captain was quite satisfied with the newly recruited sailors.
