Chapter 8 The Land of Dreams

Guao, Guao—

The morning sun is very bright, illuminating the sea surface. In the vast blue sea and sky space, a group of white and gray seagulls flapping their wings and soaring to the fullest.

A medium-sized three-masted sailboat carrying nearly 500 stones slowly sailed on the sea surface, raising waves. The hull was carved with wheat ears totem representing the Dongraoqi family. The sail flag fluttering in the wind was written with three golden characters "Jingu".

Huh, the sea breeze is really comfortable! Xin Lie stood at the bow of the boat and felt the blowing of the sea breeze. The Golden Valley has been sailing on the sea for more than half a month, and it is less than a week to reach Giant Rock City! What kind of world is waiting for him?

"Hahaha! Xin Lie." Before the laughter came, Xin Lie turned around and saw that the person who came was Captain Baru. He had a national face, his beard was shaved, and there was a scar on the bridge of his nose to his left face. The middle-long black hair was tied into a ponytail. According to Xin Lie's observation, Captain Baru liked his ponytail very much, and he liked others to praise him for his handsomeness. Before, he saw Xin Lie wrapping a blue forehead hoop, which looked very handsome, so he thought he would also wrap it around.

"What are you doing when standing here!" Captain Baru smiled brightly on his face and patted Xin Lie on the shoulder, without caring about his strength at all. Fortunately, Xin Lie was strong and might have been shaky when he was replaced by someone else.

Because he was wary of the robbery of money, under the arrangement of General Manager Keno, Xin Lie was a poor farmer who went to the giant rocks to rush to reduce the ship's expenses. During this period, Xin Lie was very diligent and very smart, and everything was understandable at a glance. In addition, Captain Baru really admired this young man after reading books and reading some words.

Guao—

"These birds are so chirping!" Baru looked at the seagulls in the sky and said with some dissatisfaction: "I woke me up early in the morning, grandma, I almost kissed me! Oh, by the way, what are you doing?"

Xin Lie smiled. I don’t know if he was following this interesting captain or was in a good mood, but he had been laughing all day long recently, saying, “I’m just thinking about what the hell is like.”

"I wonder about a bird! Will you see it in a few days?" Baru laughed again and said, but he still thought about it and tried to describe it: "The giant rock is pretty good, um... the scenery is beautiful, the road is spacious, the buildings are very high, the market is very lively, uh, it is very big... Not only is the city big, but the women's place is also big." He held his hands in front of his chest, looking ambiguous.

Xin Lie smiled and nodded, saying, "I like big ones too."

"Good one, big one!" Baru suddenly laughed to the sky. The boy was just his temper! The captain smiled and said, "But boy, it's not interesting to work in the city. It's better to stay on the boat and run around with me. How happy it is! Do you think there is a better place than the sea? This route is very safe!"

"Captain, thank you for your kindness, but no, I want to make a breakthrough myself." Xin Lie sincerely refused. Baru calmed down and looked at him a few times, asking for his thoughts that had always existed: "Are you going to participate in the warrior assessment?"

Xin Lie remained silent. He neither wanted to deceive the captain who was straightforward and easy-going, but he did not forget to agree to Keno's words.

"I know." Baru patted his shoulder without any attention and said seriously: "If you can't pass the exam, you can't make it! Come to this boat, your future will be great, you are likable."

"Thank you!" Xin Lie nodded heavily, and suddenly thought, "My parents used to be like this, right?" Facing the sea breeze, he went to an unknown place. He couldn't help but ask: "Captain, I have always wanted to ask you, have you ever been to Hecheng?"

Baru has long been used to his learning and asking questions, how to see what kind of navigation compass, why can sailboats travel against the wind, what is scurvy, why is it good to eat vegetables and fruits, and what... It's like trying to be a captain! But Baru likes to teach others, so he will teach each other patiently every time. After hearing the question, he shook his head and replied, "I haven't been there, the sea over there is very fierce. I'm not a bird warrior. This boat is small, so I dare not go!"

"Isn't the Golden Valley?" Xin Lie looked around. The canvas was bulging by the wind and the deck was as stable as flat. A few days ago, the hull was just shaking.

"Of course not!" Baru denied his love ship in one breath. He pulled the mast rope at the bow of the ship, and his thick eyebrows frowned, "The Golden Valley is a three-masted sailboat. You don't even think about it without six masts! Otherwise, a huge wave rushed over and everyone fed fish. What's the best bird steamship? And! There are too many pirates and pirates, and my brothers are dead there. Those who escaped said, "The thieves catch warriors one by one!"

Although the Jingu hu is engraved with the Qi family's totem, it is actually just that this ship is manufactured by the Qi family, and it can be considered to be hanging under their own jurisdiction. Of course, a large amount of "insurance" is paid to the Qi family every year. Compared with the big ship with sail flags with totems and warriors in charge, it is too far away...

Thinking of the bird energy he had suffered in the past, Baru was a little uninterested. The warrior was indeed a better way out, but unfortunately he failed the assessment back then. Looking at the young Xin Lie, Baru said: "If you want to become a warrior, you can join in the fun with others. There are so many treasures there." He said mysteriously: "I have a treasure map of the parchment scroll. It was found by my brother a few years ago, and the warriors are jealous of it!"

Seeing Xin Lie glaring slightly, the captain looked even more proud and said, "I heard that there is a ruin. I am most interested in how many treasures there are. However, that guy dared not go to Chizhou again, so he naturally couldn't use it, so I bought it and collected it."

Seeing Xin Lie's intrigue, Baru suddenly burst into laughter and seemed to tease him successfully: "I only spent a fortune. Guixin has any treasure. I just saw it handmade and exquisite, and it looks good in the captain's room, hahahaha!"

"Well..." Xin Liehu nodded laughingly. Maybe there is, maybe not, and no one has ever found it. But if you want to sail freely in Chiazhou in the future, it seems that you need to buy a big ship yourself, which means a lot of money.

...

Guao, Guao—

Groups of seagulls flew low, the sky was blue, one end of the sea was no longer loose, and boats of all sizes made the waves cross each other. After twenty-one day sailing, the Golden Valley finally entered the port of Giant Rock City!

"Prepare to dock, prepare to dock!" The deck was busy. Captain Baru walked around, commanding everywhere, and the sailors took the initiative to retract the sails, allowing the ship to slowly advance on the channel.

A huge rock statue towering into the clouds could be seen standing on the shore. A man in armor pressed his sword in his hands and his unsheathed sword stood on the ground. He pressed his hands on the hilt of the sword and his eyes closed, as if he was quietly guarding the capital. He didn't know who it was, so majestic and so intimidating.

Looking at the giant eagle and the blurry city ahead, Xin Lie was completely immersed in his mind. Under his calm face, there was a heart that was about to jump out of his chest, a boiling blood, and a fist that was clenched unknowingly. Is that... giant rock?

The vast giant rock port has countless dock berths for ships, which are divided into ship areas, sailing areas, etc. Large boats and boats sail in, park and leave. Although they seem crowded, they are in order. Xin Lie saw many different totems representing different families, six-masted sailboats, and steamships larger than Neptune, and their chimneys are longer than the Golden Valley!

There was also a boom crane to lift up boxes of goods on the deck and unload them to the dock. Xin Lie had never seen that thing before. It was a bit like orange steaks used to irrigate farmland, but it wasn't. He felt a little surprised. Does that thing still need cool labor? He was stunned for a moment.

There is a lively market next to the port, with people coming and going, and the sound of shouts is loud. Street stalls and shops are everywhere. In addition to selling fruits, wine, etc., the most common means of transportation is for the guests who come from afar. There are common animals such as donkeys, cattle, and horses, as well as some strange beasts that cannot be named, such as gray-skinned beasts with two long horns above their noses; there are also rare treasures gathered from all over the world, and all of these shops have totems.

Of course, Xin Lie also encountered something he liked, but he spent one copper coin as two copper coin, so he didn't buy anything.

Only by walking through a large slope upward road can you see the microcosm of the real giant rock city.

Puff puff puff puff - No wonder seagulls fly so low, a group of unknown brown-red birds jumped from the forest and flew high in the clouds, all of which were big and long wings, almost covering the sun...

"They are called 'Xuanfein' red-bellied sea eagles."

After finishing the delivery of goods, the next thing was the dock warehouse. Captain Baru and others also got free and walked to Giant Rock City with Xin Lie. Seeing that he was curious, Baru took the initiative to introduce: "Don't look at them as birds, their attack power is actually stronger than tigers, and they are still crowded animals. Fortunately, the sea eagles are not proactively aggressive, but it is not easy to ride it, and they are very strong."

Xin Lie was shocked when he heard this: "Can you tame it? Such a big one, can you fly in the sky?"

"Yes! But there are not many warriors, let alone us! Let's ride something else." Baru laughed, and the sailors laughed, and the captain waved his hand and took the lead in walking: "Let's go and see the best place in this city!" When he remembered something, his smile became brighter, "Do you know what the giant rock is good? All kinds of beauties! Black-haired, blonde, red-haired, brown-haired... you have never seen it before."

Xin Lie laughed again. They were all typical sailors, and they were always inseparable from women. Although after a long voyage, they wanted to see what the golden, red and brown-haired women looked like, but he did not forget what he came to Giant Rock for.

The slightly restless heart quickly became cold. The best place in Giant Rock should be the Warrior Academy. Xin Lie said: "Captain, I want to visit the city first."

"Haha, I know you are shy!" Baru burst into laughter, and the sailors laughed and said, "Brother, there is nothing to be shy!", "You can't be a part of it, right?", "Haha, I have an old girl with good skills, so let her help you break it!", "You can also like the childish birds, everyone will raise money for you!"...

"No, no! Really no..." Xin Lie waved his hands repeatedly. The more they became happy, the calmer his heart became.

"Okay, I'll go with you today. The country man enters the city, there will always be one time!" Seeing that he was serious, Baru stopped pushing. He knew that Xin Lie had ambition, and his opponents said, "Go and have fun!"

When they arrived at the city gate, they lined up for a long time and successfully passed the inspection of the guards. Everyone parted ways. The sailors went to drink and find the woman. Captain Baru took Xin Lie to the most lively market in the city, Nanshi.

Compared to the harbor, the Giant Rock City is a hundred times more lively. Only then did Xin Lie understand what a prosperous metropolis is. The towers hundreds of meters high, the streets and stone roads are dozens of meters wide, the traffic is crowded, and there are so many tourists. There are no need to go to a brothel. Xin Lie has seen men and women of different hair colors and skin colors, plus those unprecedented buildings, animals, clothing, and things...

He was completely confused, and even Captain Baru could not hear Captain Baru's words, his heart was almost blank, and there was only one thought: "Everything in the world is so rich."

"The great heaven, looking down on the land below, gathers the spiritual energy of the world, and brings down sweet rain. Everything and everything in the world can get a suitable environment for survival. Ah - the great heaven, grows grains to nourish people. Now the grains are sick and drought, may not grow. Now, I am honored to put in sake and jerk, please listen to the sound of rain, the rain is lucky to have great rain..."

In a corner of the bustling and bustling Nan City, a shabby blond boy played the guitar and sang the prayer of rain affectionately. Two big dogs, one black and one white, and a little monkey played acrobatics together, attracting a circle of people to stop and watch. The prayer of rain is one of the favorite songs of Dongrao people.

After singing for a while, the little monkey wearing a red hat took a bowl and walked around to ask for a reward. Most passers-by threw one or two copper coins. However, when it came to Xin Lie's feet, Xin Lie was indifferent. The little monkey immediately grinned and muttered to him! Xin Lie turned around and left embarrassedly, and Captain Baru, who was following behind, laughed.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" At this moment, shouts came, and five or six young men and women rode tall horses and rushed from the street. The people hurriedly avoided them. Some people who could not hide even jumped to both sides. Baru also suddenly grabbed Xin Lie and dodged to the side.

"Haha!", "Haha!" The young riders whistled past, and while the dust was flying, there were still bursts of laughter.

How dangerous is galloping horses in the market? No one is surprised or dares to complain. The merchants continue to hawk things, storytellers tell stories, and illusions perform illusions... The blonde boy over there also continued to sing: "Ah, great God, please listen to the sound of rain..."

"Those who dare to run horses in the city and carry weapons are all warriors, especially those famous warriors with totem logos on their clothes just now. Don't mess with them!"

Baru looked serious and without a little hippie smile, the long scar began to appear fierce, telling him that he had experienced a life-and-death battle. The captain could see that Xin Lie was a little angry and his face was still serious: "The giant rocks are different from Good. There are warriors everywhere here. Sometimes you don't know why you provoked people, and you don't know why you are guilty! So don't talk nonsense, don't look at people! If you want to survive, bow your head and be a human being. We can't afford to provoke them."

"..." Xin Lie silently looked around and looked around the prosperity. In any case, he finally came to the dream land, giant rock!
