He does not need it.

But a man cannot see through his wife's belly, and he cannot see his wife's betrayal - so he is destined to experience this.

His vision is too narrow and his knowledge is too limited.

This is the price of stupidity and ignorance.

Sad and ridiculous.

Thales was tired of all this and turned his head.

Um?

Not quite right.

He had expected to see the interior walls of the mansion.

But what did Thales see?

Rising sun.

besides……

Black, maybe with a little bit of white?

No.

Black is the color of water.

White is the foam and reflection on the water.

What he saw was the ocean under the rising sun.

Endless sea.

Endless?

No.

Too narrow.

This sea area.

From one end to the other, the sea is very small.

It has a smaller island on one side and a narrow coastline on the other side.

But it is very big, very big, almost boundless - especially for this long and narrow sailing ship that sails in the sea like a small boat.

Thales looked at the flag on the ship quietly.

On the flag is a white seagull holding an anchor in its mouth.

interesting.

Seagull and anchor.

The sky and the sea.

That distance seems far away, but is inseparable.

The sailors on the ship did their jobs conscientiously.

A young man without a beard, dressed cleanly and neatly, well behaved and polite - incompatible with the rude sailors who were surrounded by sweat and stains - stood by the helm of the ship, talking to the impatient helmsman.

They were chatting about something while looking at the sea level in front of them with excitement.

"Believe me, the previous troubles were just Errol's test... We have already passed the black whirlpool. According to my ancestral chart, we will find it soon..."

This time, Thales understood.

Although the man's lingua franca has a rather strange accent: the pitch rises and falls and the cadences are very obvious, which is different from the rude and vague, short and powerful accent of the Northland and the pretentious accent of the Star Kingdom.

This young man seems to be someone - the captain? Or an employee of this ship?

Unfortunately, Thales smiled again - once the man turned his head, he would see the contempt and disdain in the sailors' eyes.

"How could the boss listen to this young boy - I heard that he is a gangster from Wariel State, not a noble?" One of the sailors whispered to the old sailor companion who was packing the cable next to him: "Still following him?

Risk taking the ship to a place like this?"

"Of course he is a gangster, but he didn't know that his ancestors a few generations ago were elected to the thirty-six seats." The latter glared at the young man fiercely: "He owes a huge debt to the boss - somehow, not only did the boss not

To touch him, he immediately left Jingbi City and came to this cursed place, not even going to Evergreen Island, which was scheduled in the voyage."

"Terminal Sea Eye—is this place really so unlucky?" The first sailor frowned: "Everyone looks so bad."

"Of course, think about it," the old sailor snorted, with a bad expression: "Right under our feet, in the seabed of unknown depth, is the entire empire buried, and there are millions of imperial people, buried by the sea water.

Soaked into dry bones, chewed into pieces by sea fish..."

"Legend has it that their innocent souls have not been able to rest for six hundred years, and are full of resentment and pain..."

"Weird things happen here every year, very weird and weird..."

But the young man could not see the scene behind him.

Even when he turned his head, the sailors put away the emotions in their eyes and lowered their heads to do their own work - so he never knew his true position on the ship.

Why is he so stupid?

Doesn't he know that the heart of the helmsman beside him is beating faster and faster, the blood is flowing faster and faster, and the whole person is getting more and more irritable?

Why was he still chattering to the helmsman?

Didn't he know that when almost everyone on the ship looked at him, the pupils in their eyes would shrink, and then they would release disgust and disgust?

He didn't know that a piece of wood at the bottom of the boat was already overwhelmed and might be lifted up by a huge wave at any time?

Doesn't he know?

Of course - Thales continued to laugh - everyone on the boat could not see that in the thick fog about several thousand meters away, a ferocious warship with a blood-red parrot flag was coming towards them.

.

The ferocious pirates above opened their smelly mouths, counting their harvests in the past few days amid the noise and drunkenness, wine and blood, and toying with the trembling captives - especially the women.

The pirate leader was still excitedly announcing that he would return to port after grabbing one more ship.

In the pirates' arsenal, polished blades and swords, crossbows and projectile bows are all waiting quietly.

That young man, and the ship he was on - why were they so stupid?

Why keep sailing forward?

It's so simple, so obvious...

Why don't they know?

They are in the most magical world, but they know nothing about everything around them?

What a waste.

It's really boring.

Thales couldn't help but feel irritated.

He turned his head again.

Huh?

He saw a grain of sand under the moonlight.

sand.

Wonderful creation.

It and countless of its kind are stacked together, using the same wonderful and even relative position to construct an entire desert.

In this way, countless pieces of sand rub, squeeze, and stick to each other.

In this way, countless sands push, resist, and move away from each other.

Thales looked at every grain of sand in the desert and sighed in his heart: They formed the same wonderful desert.

He turned his head again.

See - a leaf in the dark?

This time he has experience.

Not just leaves.

It's a forest, a dark forest under the night sky.

Pairs of fluorescent eyes were vaguely visible in the jungle - they were countless animals that were hunting or being hunted.

But they are still so pitiful.

Thales chuckled in his heart.

A badger happily dug an ant nest next to the wet soil. There was a huge beetle in the nest, which made the hungry badger overjoyed. Unfortunately, it had no idea that there was an ant nest hundreds of meters away from it.

The partner who had a one-night stand has become the prey of a lone wolf.

An old lone wolf who hunted a badger and was excited for his supper didn't know that a similar member of the same wolf pack as him was being hunted by a jungle panther jumping down from a branch under another tree.

.

The black panther also didn't know that the offspring she gave birth to six years ago was dying under the hooves of an angry giant rhinoceros by the stream.

The giant rhinoceros didn't even know that upstream of the creek, a group of heavily armed humans were excitedly skinning, leaving bones and removing the remains of its cousins.

And this group of humans also didn't know that in the dense jungle behind them, countless eyes with purple light were staring at them coldly, and they silently opened the bows and arrows in their hands in the darkness.

These pointed-eared creatures with purple eyes probably would not have thought that at a sentry post in the forest a few miles away, one of their kind was engaging in a life-and-death fight with another white-skinned, pointed-eared creature in a life-and-death fight between scimitar and rapier.

, and was stabbed through the chest with a sword at the last moment.

The victor with fair skin and pointed ears took a strong sip, and left with disdain, leaving the corpse with purple eyes on the ground to slowly rot, and then turned into food by a group of ants next to it.

This group of ants had just migrated here a few days ago, and they were the disgraced losers of another battle - another powerful ant colony had driven them here. But they might be happy to know that they were driven out
