Pirate's Swordsmanship Supreme

After a night of carnival, many bachelors slept directly in the square, while those who had homes and company returned home halfway through the party.

After filling his stomach, Qi Ya wandered around the village for a while with the little evil girl.

During this period, either the little evil girl was chattering about interesting things about herself, and Qi Ya listened patiently; or Qi Ya was talking about future arrangements, and the little evil girl listened carefully.

Early the next morning, Aipuli came over to wake Qi Ya up.

Instead of knocking with a metal stick like the first time, he just took out the key and opened the door, and walked into the room to make a fuss.

Qi Ya got up in a daze. While admiring the little evil girl's energy, she began to make plans for shipbuilding.

There is no need to worry about manpower. What you need to worry about is the talents who really know how to build ships and can design good ships.

He couldn't trust this matter to the clan elders' association, so he had to let the little evil girl deal with the errands handed over by the clan leader, while he had to do it himself before the shipbuilding thing got on track.

The first step is to hire someone who knows how to build a ship and can design a good ship!

The difficulty of this point is quite high when the overall cultural level of the villagers is not high.

Demand breeds talent. Now the shipbuilding industry on the island has been in a downturn for several years. When fishermen encounter broken boats, they mostly choose to repair them themselves.

Under such circumstances, even if there are talents he wants hidden on the island, most of them are difficult to discover.

At the same time, Qi Ya also has to bear the risk of the other party's skills being unfamiliar.

After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Qi Ya first took April to find the old patriarch and entrusted the little evil girl to temporarily take over his duties.

Saint Zachary did not express an opinion on Qiya's request, and even the clan elders' council controlled by Emerson's group did not dare to have an opinion.

Among a total of 12 clan elders, members of the Garcia, Silas, Evan, Moore and Joan family began to speculate like this:

Is Garcia Zia just a political puppet promoted by the old patriarch?

Is it his granddaughter Emerson April who is really in charge?

……

Don't think about the intrigues in the clan elders' association.

After placing the little evil girl in the position she liked and the position that Qiya wanted, the young swordsman took the lead in going to the blacksmith shop by the dock and asked Senior Ma Long for information about the shipbuilder.

Then he had seafood fried rice made by Yukina for breakfast.

After saying goodbye and leaving, Qi Ya followed the vague information given by Senior Ma Long and found a low house at the other end of the village, built alone at the foot of the back mountain.

The low house looked like it had not been repaired for a long time, and it was hard to believe that there were still people living in such a house.

After knocking on the door three times, there was a burst of movement inside, and then a lean old man wearing a floral shirt, floral pants, and a pair of flip-flops appeared behind the door.

It's just that the outfit he wore was as old as the hut on the floor where he lived.

"Who are you?"

The other party's voice was a bit unkind, revealing the indifference of a strange old man who would reject others from thousands of miles away.

Obviously, the old man in front of me did not participate in the activities of all the villagers yesterday.

"I am the new patriarch of the village, and I came to you to build a ship." Qi Yayan said concisely.

The old man looked at the young man in front of him up and down. He had no intention of exploring the truth or falsehood of the first half of the other person's sentence. Instead, he asked directly: "Why build a ship?"

Qi Ya pondered for a moment, quickly searching for the answer to this question in his mind.

According to the traditional rules of the pirate world, the old man's question must involve the other party's persistence for half his life and the source of the current embarrassment.

If you answer well, the other party will even rush to build a boat for you for free;

If you don't answer well, the other party may tell you that you have the wrong person.

"Because people shouldn't be trapped on this small island all their lives. The world is so big and I want to see it!" Qi Ya said solemnly.

Something seemed to flash in the old man's brown eyes, and his dry mouth began to murmur.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Qi Ya felt a little reassured, it should be done now!

Then I heard the other party say: "Give up, kid! You can't get out anymore!"

"Why do you say that?" Qiya asked with a frown, noticing the old man's lean body. He took out a piece of bread and a bottle of ale from the storage space like magic and handed them to him.

"Sit down and talk!" The old man happily took the things from Qi Ya's hands, and while speaking enthusiastically, he sat directly on the ground and ate the bread in his hands.

Qiya: "..."

As you always say, sit down and say it, do you mean sitting on the ground through the door frame?

After the other party finished the bread in his hand, licked his fingers with unsatisfied content, and drank two sips of ale, Qi Ya squatted down and asked the old man the previous question.

"For the sake of this bread and strong wine, I will tell you the truth!" The old man touched his swollen belly and said with satisfaction.

"Wait a minute, I still don't know your old name!" Qi Ya said.

"Just call me Silas. I have already thrown my name into the sea." The old man said.

Qi Ya looked at Silas and thought to himself: "You call yourself by your last name. Do you have any unbearable past? That's why you don't even want a name?"

The old man didn't know Qiya's psychological activities. After brewing his emotions for a while, he continued:

"Actually, it's not just you who wants to see the outside world. People like me, who have been outside before but are now trapped here and unable to fulfill their obligations, are more eager to return to the outside world than you are."

"44 years ago, I went out to sea for six years and finally settled on an island called the Seven Waters."

"At that time, I had just been married for a year and had a baby. I came back here happily and wanted to pick up my parents and live in the Capital of Seven Waters."

"Who knew, just as we were on our way back, that damn annular current appeared, and crazy winds began to blow in the sky."

"Since then, any ship that dares to approach and try to break through the blockade has been destroyed by the harsh environment up to [-] meters long."

"In the past 44 years, I have tried 43 times and used various methods, but none of them succeeded. My child, why do you think you can get out?"

After listening to Silas's words, Qi Ya thought carefully for a while, and then said:

"There are some things that you have to try, otherwise you may regret it for the rest of your life. Besides, if it really doesn't work, I can choose to swim out."

"Swimming?" Silas chuckled. "It's at least 100 meters to cross the circular current. There are strong winds above and sea kings below. Can you tell me how to swim?"

Qi Ya smiled noncommittally, and instead of arguing with the other party, asked directly:

"With a full stomach and a bottle of ale a day, you can help me build the ship without you having to do it yourself. Do you want to do it?"

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Silas put away his chuckle and turned to ask seriously: "Really plan to give it a try? Even if the ship is destroyed and everyone is killed?"

Qi Ya: "Even if the ship is destroyed and everyone is killed!"

Silas: "Okay, it just so happens that my old bone has half of its foot in the coffin. Come with me to see if the half-built ship I built still suits your eyes."

"If you think it's appropriate and don't want to waste time, I can give you this semi-finished ship first."

With that said, the old man stood up and patted the dust on his butt, carrying the ale and walked towards the beach by the back mountain.
