The sea water rolled up layers of white waves and hit the boat.
Half a month has passed since Star was on this sea boat.
Looking at the vast ocean, he felt a little panic, which made him unable to stay in his room and always came out to wander around.
The sailor on the deck did not stop him and let him turn.
On the deck, the captain was a middle-aged man with scattered hair and a chaotic beard, with rough and wrinkled face, but he could not hide his cold eyes.
Star couldn't help but shudder, and did not dare to continue turning, retreating to the corner to observe.
Si has reached the present moment, but he has not figured out the situation. He doesn't know why he came to the sea and how could he encounter such a strange thing!
He was originally a shipbuilder in the inland area. Half a month ago, he went home for dinner as usual, but was suddenly attacked on the way. When he woke up, he was already on this big ship.
He was somewhat at ease. He was a person on the boat. Although he was cold, he was a little polite. In addition, there were other people with the same identities in the cabin.
Moreover, that noble lady was always kind.
"Mr. Star, aren't you still sleeping?" A gentle female voice suddenly came from behind. Star, who was over thirty, turned his head and saw that the person was the kind lady, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Avesy, I really have nothing to help you, I am just a civilian..." Star explained carefully.
This has almost become his oral words. He hopes that one day, he will suddenly talk about these people on the boat and let him go home.
"Mr. Star, don't be nervous. You can definitely do what we ask for help. It's cool outside, so go back and rest!" Avesie said with a smile as she looked at him.
"Okay!" Star sighed and turned into the cabin.
Avesy stood on the deck, looking at the vast sea, and God emerged.
"Hope Island, what exactly are you going to do this time?" she murmured to herself in some confusion.
She had just returned from the dark area and received this task again. Although she was a member of Hope Island, Avesie could not touch the deep secrets of the island.
This is all the matter that His Highness and the Elders decided together, and the fate of the elf tribe was not in her hands.
Shaking his head and sighing, Avesi also walked into the cabin.
Then, there was a long sea trip.
After a period of contact, the relationship between Star and the crew remained in a good state.
He gradually knew about some things he had not asked before.
The destination I was going to visit this time was a large island, and it lived on that island, which was full of legendary races and other humans that were not tolerated by the mainland.
Secondly, Star confirmed his identity and knew that the reason he was hijacked onto the ship this time was due to the shipbuilding technology he had.
Although the other party did not explain in detail, he already understood that the island must be preparing to build a ship, so that technical talents in this area are needed.
At the same time, he also knew that in addition to him, there were also some people on this ship, but they were not as lucky as him, because they were all people who refused to cooperate and did not have such freedom as him.
"Hope Island?" From those people, Star occasionally hears the name.
For him, this is a very strange island. He was very curious about what kind of existence this island would be in the middle of the sea!
However, he had never asked Miss Avesy, which gave him a gentle feeling, but he had another strange feeling, that was, when facing this lady, he felt a kind of pressure.
The ship that Star was riding in was quite large, but from his professional perspective, it was at most considered medium-sized.
In other words, under normal circumstances, you can travel through some wind and waves. If you really engage in large-scale battles, your service life will not be too long.
If it is only used as a merchant ship, it is still very good.
Star is good at building a warship that is strong and durable and most used in war. Since he knew that he was hijacked and was going to build a ship, Star has guessed which kind of ship it would build.
"Where is Hope Island? What is the purpose of building warships?" He sometimes thinks and thinks.
However, he was not a nobleman, nor was he an official with responsibilities and missions. He was just an ordinary craftsman with skills. He just thought about these things occasionally and did not take them seriously.
As long as he can save his life and his family, it will be enough for him.
"Mr. Star, it's time to eat." The voice of the sailor came from behind.
Star turned around and entered the cabin without looking back.
Over the past few days, the life he lived on the boat was better than he had before on land.
Three meals a day are exactly the same as those eaten by sailors.
Star suddenly thought: Maybe Miss Avesy is right. Instead of working as a craftsman for the nobles on the mainland and living a life of inferior people every day, it is better to start a new life in another place.
Because of the busyness and hardship of life, he still lives alone. Miss Avesie even promised him that it would not be impossible to give him a beautiful bride as long as he could work well on the island in the future.
"As long as he is a kind woman, I can give birth to a few children for me, and live with me with a sewing and tinkering, I will be satisfied." He swallowed a mouthful of bread and thought secretly.
Their ships, under the sea breeze, are getting faster and faster.
The crew members all began to say that their destination was coming.
Where is the destination? Naturally, it is the island called Hope.
In the past few days, the crew members have become very happy. As well, some people who have not been released before will occasionally come out to let go during surveillance.
Star has little contact with them. He was once a slave. Although he has obtained civilian status and is still at the lowest level, he is now brought here and his future is bright.
Different from others, they already have a good position and have relatives and friends in the inland areas. They are reluctant to go to an isolated island on the sea.
After another two days of voyage, a large island finally appeared in front of Star.
"What a big island, you can't see the edge. Is this really an island?" As soon as I approached the island, Star couldn't help but say in surprise.
"Mr. Star, this is Hope Island." At some point, Miss Avesy had already walked to him.
Star said with emotion: "This island is so big. Do you really need me here?"
"Yes, Mr. Star, your talents will be displayed to the maximum extent here. Please rest assured that I hope the island will not treat the meritorious ministers unfairly." Avesie said with a smile.
At this time, the island was already near, and someone patrolled the shore. Seeing that it was they who came back, they allowed them to dock after the code.
"Mr. Star, please get off the boat." When Star came to his senses, Miss Avesy had already greeted him on the shore.
The treatment he received was a very good one. At least, he got off the boat by himself and walked to a hotel accompanied by Miss Avesy.
Star didn't know how the others were sent ashore, he was completely fascinated by the island in front of him.
The previous port had not brought him back to his senses, and the city he saw next surprised him even more.
At this time, it was very dark and there was only a very blurry light.
However, you can still see the city clearly.
The city is surrounded by hills and is a natural harbor.
Looking around, this city is not like Star’s mind, with oily piers, low and dilapidated warehouses, garbage and excrement everywhere on the roadside, crowded streets.
On the contrary, there are newly built roads on the dock, tall and sturdy warehouses, no garbage or excrement on the ground, and the streets farther away are wide and neat.
"Miss Avesy, you're at the right time. After a while, there will be a curfew." A patrol captain greeted him and said.
"Well, lead the way and go to Forest House."
"Yes, Miss!" The soldier led the way.
"A big city." Star said in surprise.
"This is a port city and the capital of the kingdom, and it has only been built!" Avesie said calmly.
"It's amazing." Star murmured.
It is very difficult to build such a big city in the center of the sea.
"It's been five years. There were only eight thousand pirates and one thousand women here, but after five years, by absorbing refugees, most of the original pirates married their wives, owned land and houses, and lived a happy life."
"The remaining refugees also formed families, reclaimed land, and the newly built kingdom was full of vitality." Avesie said respectfully: "They all believe in the great Anne and thank it for bringing happiness."
In five years, the population of this kingdom has expanded to 80,000. This is the strength brought by the unremitting smuggling and transportation over the past five years.
"But, in order to protect our lives, a strong navy must be built."
"I heard that you are a student of Master Elno?"
"Yes, I am a student of Master Elno, but I am from a humble background..." Star suddenly realized why he was "invited" to come.
Master Erno is a famous shipbuilder on the mainland and is highly treated with courtesy, so it is of course difficult to grab such a person.
Star was originally the son of a slave. Because he followed a shipbuilder since he was a child, he lived in a shipyard and participated in the shipbuilding business very early. At the age of fourteen, he was attracted by Master Erno at that time because of his silent study and literacy, and became a servant.
From the age of fourteen to twenty-eight, he studied and worked silently and became the most talented shipbuilder, but he was not valued because of his low background.
At the age of twenty-eight, Master Elno finally removed his slave status and became a free citizen. Of course, he had to continue working for the Master.
In just two years, his fame spread, which attracted the events of this year.
Star was regretting, and heard Avesy say, "Mr. Star, His Majesty the King will meet you tomorrow and appoint you as a shipbuilder. These people who accompany the ship will be dispatched by you. If anyone disobeys the order, you have the right to punish or even kill."
After a pause, he said, "If the ship you build is the best ship, you may even get the title of master and manage the entire shipbuilding industry."
