The ban on port system is still continuing, and fish prices continue to soar. On the island of Sicily, the price of a salted fish is several times higher than that of mutton, and a live fresh sea fish is even more expensive than that of sky-high prices. It is a valuable material that even money can't buy.

Under the temptation of money, some fishermen began to take risks and secretly sailed from the beach on small boats, wanting to catch some sea fish.

Rambo gave enough food and other work, and they could have enough food, but unfortunately their stomachs could fill them, and human greed was a gully that would never be filled.

A fresh fish is the harvest of a day of work in the past, and a boat of fish can be exchanged for a cow. With such huge profits, there are always people who want to take a try.

Ignorance is like this, pitiful and hateful.

On the northwest corner of Sicily, there is a small village called Cape Mirazo. The terrain here looks like a narrow and long ox horn extending from Sicily. The village is surrounded by the sea. Even children in the village have excellent boat driving and swimming skills. The main identity of adults is fishermen who make a living by fishing.

During the ban on port, a small team of soldiers also arrived here, responsible for supervising the situation in the village and preventing anyone from going out to sea secretly.

Twelve Imperial soldiers supervising a village with only more than one hundred people is just a simple small task. Usually one soldier in such a task is enough to complete supervision. Now is a special moment, and it is naturally more than enough to increase to twelve.

However, the main supervision target of these soldiers was to focus on adult fishermen, and inadvertently ignored the children who were less than twelve years old and had not yet become strong.

They underestimated the children's abilities and courage, and also looked up to their judgment and vision. After learning about the soaring fish prices, all they could think of in their minds were dazzling gold coins exchanged for fresh fish, and the praise they might get when handing the gold coins to their parents.

In particular, the supervision of soldiers also brought different stimulation to this matter, which triggered more pleasant fun. So, three children who were just taller than the water tank, Tom, Thor and Cruise, secretly planned to go out to sea to fish.

The boats in the village were strictly controlled, and they could not even get the smallest monorail sailboat. So the clever ghost Tom proposed to use the trunks of small trees in the bushes south of the village to make a raft. Thor, who had no opinion, agreed happily and took the hand axe and rope from his home.

Cruise was as strong as a calf, and could cut down a small tree in an hour. Three days later, a simple raft tied with more than a dozen trunks and ropes appeared in front of the three.

They found solid wooden barrels from the village and tied them to both sides of the raft to increase their benefits, and stole three oars with less strict control. Then, on a quiet night when the stars were sparse, they quietly slipped out of the village and pushed the raft out of the harbor.

Cruise, the worst water quality among the three, was able to swim in the sea for three hours. All kinds of strange undercurrents in the sea could not stop them at all. Soon, the raft was driven quickly into the vast sea under the push of a strong offshore current.

Thor was very brave when he went out to sea. After leaving the land for a long time, he developed an irresistible sense of fear, especially in the village, the horror legend of the cannibals at sea has been circulated recently, which made his fear even worse.

Seeing that Thor was in poor condition, Tom suddenly spoke in a strange tone: "Hey, Thor, Cruise, do you know, the legend about the ghost ship on the sea."

As soon as he heard Tom's strange tone, Thor was already panicked. He hurriedly said, "Tom, we don't know, and we don't want to know. We should concentrate on rowing and fishing, and don't forget the purpose of our coming out."

But Cruise gave Thor a blank look, looked at Tom with great enthusiasm and said, "I haven't heard it before, Tom, I really want to hear it."

Tom said this just to scare Thor, but he didn't expect Cruise to cooperate so much. Seeing this, he immediately spoke: "Hehehe, it is said that ships that never dock are sailing on the sea. The ships are filled with treasures that can blind you. The cabin is filled with radiant gold coins. The deck is full of egg-sized gems and pearls. Even the masts that hold the sails are carved from thick and long ivory."

Listening to Tom's narration, Cruise's eyes showed a fascination, but Thor shouted in a sharp voice: "You lied to people, how could you have such a big ivory? If it were really how big the elephant would be? Besides, if there was such a ship, it would have been taken away by the nobles long ago. How could it be our turn?"

Tom, as if he had expected Thor to say this, showed a contemptuous smile on his face, looked at Thor condescendingly and said, "Hehe, fool, have you forgotten the name of that ship? No one can take away the treasure from that ship. Because the owner of the ship is not a human, but a terrible ghost!!!"

After saying the last half, Tom's voice suddenly rose, imitating the terrifying howl of the ghost, and shouted loudly.

Thor screamed in panic, with tears in his eyes already flowing. Cruise was also stunned, his expression became a little nervous.

Tom laughed unceremoniously, covering his stomach while laughing, "Hahaha, look at you fools, I lied to you, there are no ghost ships, those are lies made up by adults, and they want to scare us not to let us go out to sea."

Just now, there was a sudden sound of hollow impact from one side of the raft. The bang sounded like a boat hitting their raft. The raft also suddenly shook violently, and the feeling of being hit was very strong.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Cruise was a little unsteady because of the violent shaking, but he still grabbed Thor's belt and pulled him hard to prevent him from jumping into the water.

Tom's face turned pale, as if he was frightened. He held the oars tightly with both hands and said angrily: "Stop quarrel, I'll go and see what it is!"

Among the three, Tom was the most prestigious. When he heard that he was angry, Thor immediately closed his mouth and stopped screaming. Cruise raised his head and looked at the direction Tom was facing. He was also puzzled by what was hitting the raft just now.

Tom walked forward carefully, raising the oar in his hand high like a warrior about to go into battle, step by step towards the back.
