the coast.

In the wind and rain, Shajin stood proudly on the reef, as if fighting against the sea and the storm.

His eyes were concentrated and serious, just like the statues of heroes placed on the square of the Evil Peninsula Temple, he was unmoved by the suffering that rained down on him.

Suddenly, a beam of light from the lighthouse behind him shone down and landed on Sha Jin's body. Then, a furious voice came from above.

"What are you doing standing there, lazy bastard?"

"Why don't you hurry up and check the lights on the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 reefs, dawdling, are you a pack animal?"

"You don't know how to move twice until I whip you twice?"

The voice was full of vigor, as if just listening to the noise gate, one could imagine the image of a bearded and strong man.

Sha Jin turned around and shouted, "It's raining so hard."

The voice said, "It's raining. If you don't know the situation at sea, you will die. There will be a big accident."

Shajin finally made preparations and took off in the wind and rain.

In the strong wind, he still flew very smoothly, even though his vision was not clear, he still quickly came to a reef in the distance.

Sha Jin fell down immediately, opened the small door of the lighthouse built of dark stones, and came up to check.

The items to be checked include fuel, brightness, damage and so on.

"no problem."

After some busy work, the dirty placer gold left the reef.

He wiped the sweat or rain on his face, and immediately followed the route skillfully to the next reef, repeating the previous work.

He is already very familiar with the situation here, and he seems to be able to find the location of every reef and lighthouse with his eyes closed.

Ten years ago, he was assigned to work on a seaside lighthouse on this island, and he was not the only one guarding the tower, there was also another old man.

The function of the lighthouse is not only to let the ships lost in the dark find their way, but also has many other functions.

For example.

When you see the red light on the route, go to the left, and when the green light is on, go to the right, so that you can guide the direction and avoid the ship from running into reefs and running aground.

Lighthouses in different places also have different functions, some are to guide the entry into the port, some are to warn the reefs, and some are to transmit information.

The different flickering frequencies of the lighthouse have different meanings, and even the light can be used for early warning or detailed information.

On the sea of ​​this era, the role of lighthouses is extremely important, and it is the guarantee of the lives of ships and crew members.

But I have to say that guarding the lighthouse is an extremely hard and boring job.

Return to the five-story lighthouse on the shore of the island.

Sha Jin didn't stop either, he carried the oil drum upstairs, and the bearded old man downstairs who was turning the hinges started talking again.

He said, "You useless guy, today's inspection was so slow."

Shakin: "I'm not some useless guy."

The old man: "It's not a useless guy, why did you come here to guard the lighthouse?"

Sha Jin: "Huh~"

He didn't bother to tell the old man how the other party understood the great mission he shouldered and what he was doing.

But the more Sha Jin thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he carried the barrel to the top, he shouted from above to below.

"Then you are also here to guard the lighthouse, aren't you?"

The old man admitted it readily: "I'm an old man, I'm here to eat and die. If I were as young as you, I would never come here."

"I was not like you. When I was young, I was the lookout and scout of the adventure fleet."

Sha Jin was a little curious: "Then what kind of adventures have you experienced?"

But the old man said: "You have no blood and courage, you don't deserve to hear my story." Sha Jin was furious, but he couldn't say anything.

I am a dignified alchemist, a super powerful person, and a devout person who was appointed by the gods to come here to find the traces of the supreme god.

Now being despised by a stinky old man, he can't wait to give the other party a hand on the spot and let the other party kneel on the ground and cry for his father and mother.

But these fantasies only flashed in his mind, and then turned into peace.

He scratched his head helplessly: "I can't help it. I'm not good at dealing with people. The job of guarding the lighthouse is the best for me."

The old man snorted coldly: "Not promising."

After all the busy work, the old man went up to watch the light of the lighthouse and keep an eye on the sea. At this time, Sha Jin could finally take a rest.

Beside the small bed in the room, Sha Jin lit a lamp.

He took out a notebook and recorded the various changes in the North Sea and the Primordial Ocean today. This is his daily work.

In addition, every few months he would go deep into the depths of the primordial ocean to observe the changes of the black storm.

In addition to his own observations, he also collected information from passing ships and sailors. He wrote down all possible useful news about the ocean.

In the blink of an eye, Sha Jin has been in Bingshan City for so many years.

The booklets he recorded piled up like a hill, but no matter what kind of news he sent back, there was no response.

This is also normal, because most of the information he collected is irrelevant, at least he still doesn't understand what is in the black storm.

But no matter what, he wrote his records seriously and completed his tasks without any slack.

"Boom boom boom~"

Early the next morning.

Sha Jin was awakened by the violent knock on the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the old man put a list and a stack of paper money in his hand.

"Go, here is the purchase order, and there is money."

Sha Jin took the money and yawned and flew out of the lighthouse. The old man was injured when he was young and couldn't fly anymore.

So many tasks must be done by Shajin, including maintenance and procurement, and the latter is Shajin's favorite thing.

At this time, he can go to Bingshan City.

Iceberg City was built at the foot of the snow mountain in the distance. A long time ago, it was just an uninhabited island on the Northern Sea Route. The first person who discovered it was said to be a snake-man captain named Breman.

It was also he who led his Platinum fleet to discover the Primordial Ocean and named it there.

legend.

He once entered the inside of the black storm, and saw the end of the world inside.

Shakin didn't know if that was true, but only heard it from passing sailors and adventurers. As soon as Sha Jin entered the city, he saw that everyone in the city recognized Sha Jin, and many people greeted him.

It is said to be a city, but in fact Bingshan City is similar to a small town, with a small population, not even as large as a small town in the bustling area of ​​Ruhe Giant Island.

roadside.

A woman from a tavern leaned against the door: "Sha Jin, come drink with me, I'll give you a cheaper price."

Sha Jin said: "All right, all right, I'll buy something else first, and come back later." In fact, his body is far away from there. That tavern is a gold-eating beast, and the money he earns every month guarding the lighthouse Not enough to drink a few glasses, the lack of supplies on such a remote island is unimaginable, especially things like drinks.

Also, the tavern hostess is no easy feat.

But the charming tavern owner waved and winked at Sha Jin: "Then I'll wait for you."

Sha Jin shuddered and fled.

He felt that if the most beautiful women were divided into two types, one was the bright angel of the legendary heaven, and the other must be a fallen angel from the abyss, which made people involuntarily have evil thoughts in their hearts.

Shakin ended up at the grocery store and looked around.

Finding only one child in the shop, he asked, "Where's your father?"

? "

The child pointed to the distance: "I went fishing. I haven't made any money recently. My mother is sick again. I need more money to go to other places to see a doctor."

Sha Jin nodded and patted the child's head: "It's okay, your mother's illness is not serious, go to a witch doctor in a big city on the mainland, and she will definitely be cured."

Even though he said so, whether it was going to the mainland or finding a witch doctor for treatment, it was not a simple matter.

The ferry ticket to the mainland is expensive, and the price is not cheap.

The number of witch doctors is rare, and the paths they take are different. For some complicated diseases, it is difficult to find a witch doctor who specializes in the symptoms.

Then, Shajin took out the purchase order and told the other party: "I want this."

There are not many things, but the stack of money has been consumed. This is the price on the island. Compared with collecting money, sometimes familiar people on the island prefer bartering. It is also possible to know the situation on the island. Few outsiders are willing to come to this island. In the beginning, all the people on the island were exiled here for various reasons. And the people living on the island today are the descendants of those people.

On the face of it, Sha Jin and the old man are not considered to be people on this island. It is just a job for them to guard the lighthouse. One day they don’t do this job or they may leave after the job is finished. But looking at the old man's appearance, he is planning to spend his old age here. And Sha Jin has lived here for ten years, and the people on the island basically regard him as a member of this place.

On the way back, Sha Jin passed by the only pharmacy on the island.

Carrying a heavy bag, Sha Jin entered the pharmacy, looked around, looked at the bottles and cans in the glass window, and smelled the weird smell.

It seems that some are intoxicated by it.

The clerk at the pharmacy was a girl younger than Sha Jin. At this time, she came out of the pharmacy, showing a very standard smile, and then asked the usual questions.

"Do you want to buy medicine?"

"Still seeing a doctor?"

If the owner of the tavern is a fallen angel, then the white-clothed pharmacy clerk in front of him must be an angel of light.

Of course, it may also be because there are not many young women on the island.

There are even fewer beautiful ones, and these two are the only ones Sha Jin can meet on a daily basis.

Sha Jin looked up at the other party and shook his head: "No."

The girl smiled and asked, "Let's take a look?"

Sha Jin smiled shyly. He did come to visit often, but he never bought anything.

On the surface, he just said that he was curious.

In fact, Sha Jin is also a alchemy pharmacist. Although he hasn't refined medicine for many years, nor has he shown his strength, but he has never stopped practicing. Here, the pharmacy is the only place where he can come into contact with medicine.

Even if it is witch medicine placed here.

But the familiar crucibles, flasks, test tubes and smells all made Sha Jin think of the long-ago college life, everything he had in the college, and those friends who practiced together.

Sha Jin walked around, and then saw a strange smell coming from behind the curtain in the side room. Sha Jin just sniffed it, and then looked at the clerk.

He was a little surprised: "Are you trying to refine witchcraft?"

The other party nodded: "Witch medicine is very powerful. With witch medicine, you can cure the disease. Otherwise, even if the doctor sees what the disease is, there is no way to cure it."

"However, witch medicine is too expensive, and there is simply not enough of it."

"I just want to give it a try and see if I can make it myself."

The other party seemed to have analyzed some of the ingredients of the witch medicine, and wanted to make the witch medicine in his own way.

Sha Jin couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, how is this possible?"

"The witch doctor is a witch medicine made with extraordinary power. How can you do it like this." The clerk was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything. He just closed the curtain to prevent Shajin from looking at his burnt cauldron.

Although Sha Jin felt that the other party was a little whimsical, but also felt that the other party's thoughts

It really moved him a little.

He couldn't help reminding a few words: "You can't do this, you can do this..."

Sha Jin couldn't help but teach him a few tricks. Although he is not a witch doctor, he has a wide range of knowledge after systematic training at the Alchemy Academy. He also knows the secrets of witch medicine potions and how to make them.

The clerk in white tried it according to the sand gold method, and said in surprise: "It seems to be really possible?"

Sha Jin looked at the finished product in the test tube and shook his head: "The effect is much worse."

The clerk in white asked Sha Jin, "How do you know this is okay?"

Sha Jin's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "I don't know how to make witchcraft, but I often hear the sailors on those ships say this. They used to drink a lot of witchcraft, and some large adventure fleets still have wine. There is a witch doctor on board."

The other party nodded ignorantly: "Yes, those sailors know a lot."

Sha Jin left in a hurry.

After returning to the lighthouse.

Sha Jin locked the door tightly, took out some alchemy tools he had used before, put them together, and fiddled with them left and right.

He smiled at first, but then let out a sigh at the end.

Sha Jin's eyes were a little confused.

He had learned pharmacy and alchemy for so many years, but in the end he couldn't use it for anything.

He went to a foreign country when he was young, and studied hard day after day, year after year, with the bells of the dawn and the candlelight of the dark night, and only then did he acquire the knowledge he wanted. He once thought he could achieve something, At least something can be done.

In the end, he just worked as a lighthouse keeper on an isolated island. After so many years, he did nothing.

After a few days, Sha Jin came to the city again.

At the only pier on the ship, Sha Jin found a few sailors, chatted with them, and asked some questions inadvertently.

"Breman?"

"Never heard of it!"

Sha Jin said, "Many years ago, the first person to discover this island!"

The other party immediately shouted: "Platinum, I've heard of this!"

Sha Jin nodded: "That's right, Bremen is the captain of the Platinum."

A few days ago, recalling everything in the academy, recalling that he was still an alchemy pharmacist, Shajin suddenly had a strong desire to complete the task and mission.

Sha Jin wanted to know more about the adventure ship Platinum, because the other party was the only ship that entered the black storm, and it should be the only one that came back alive. In this world, there should be no one who can understand the secrets and truths better than them!

Actually, a long time ago.

He wanted to investigate the people on that ship. He felt that since the other party had completed such a great adventure, the crew members must be very famous.

Even if they are all gone now, at least there should be many stories left behind, or their descendants can be found.

But, it's a pity.

Sha Jin asked many people and conducted investigations everywhere, but still found nothing. That ship was like a fleeting firework. After leaving a rich legend and firework in history, it dissipated like a cloud of smoke.

And the extremely powerful captain of the Platinum might be Breman, a mysterious figure in the apostle realm, Sha Jin also couldn't find him at all.

But now, he started a new round of investigation.

Unknowingly, a person stepped off the boat docked at the pier and came to Sha Jin who was recording something in his notebook.

The other party shouted: "Shajin!"

Sha Jin immediately turned his head and shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The person who came was actually one of his roommates at Ganye Alchemy Academy, the handsome Yiren who said that the gods would treat him preferentially because of his appearance.

But now the other party looks a lot rougher, with a mustache, the whole

People are not as delicate as they were when they were young, just like a beautiful woman.

But even though the other party had changed so much, Sha Jin recognized him at a glance, without any hesitation in his tone.

He was absolutely sure that it was the other party.

Sha Jin stepped forward excitedly, and he repeated it happily.

"How did you come here?"

Mustache looked at Shajin's face that became a little rough in the wind and rain: "I passed by here on a mission, so I stopped by to see you."

Sha Jin was very happy today, and completed today's task at least several times faster than usual, and then asked for leave with the old man.

He even reluctantly bought a bottle of wine just to celebrate the reunion with old friends. Wine is not a good wine, and what goes with it is not a good thing.

But the two of them ate very deliciously, as if there was no better delicacy in the world.

Before Sha Jin took a few sips, his face turned red.

He talked at least ten times more than usual, and he kept chattering, and the two of them talked a little bit exaggeratedly.

The two of them talked and laughed out loud.

Although.

Those words didn't look funny to outsiders.

The two of them didn't seem to feel strange at all, and there was even an indescribable tacit understanding between their words.

Friendships between men are weird sometimes, they can not see someone for many years, they can have no contact for many years, but they say that person is his best brother.

When they meet again, they will still be as cordial as ever.

I can clearly know what you want to say, and I can feel your emotions, just like when we were teenagers.

Their friendship has not been changed by time and years.

Looking at the scenery outside the lighthouse, Mustache couldn't help but said.

"It's nice here too."

"At least, it's quiet, and there's no danger or trouble."

Sha Jin: "You mean it, if you come here and stay here for a month or two, you'll feel like you're going crazy."

After speaking, Shajin looked at the other party enviously.

"You returned to your hometown back then, and you must have accomplished a great deal by now!" The other party fell silent.

Sha Jin looked at Mustache's face and suddenly understood something, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Sha Jin poured a glass of wine for the other party, and then asked about those people who used to be in the Ganye Alchemy Academy.

But Mustache said, "Dead."

Sha Jin: "Dead?"

Mustache nodded: "Dead."

Sha Jin stood up: "They are all dead?"

Mustache said, "They're all dead."

Mustache seemed to feel that this was not right, so he added it.

"The ones you mentioned are all dead."

Sha Jin was a little dazed: "How come, they were so good back then."

Sha Jin seemed to find it difficult to accept such news, which was different from what he had imagined. In his imagination, these people should all be successful.

In his dream, he might be envious and jealous, he might sigh, and he might wonder why it wasn't me who was sent there in the first place.

But when he learned that the other party was dead, Sha Jin felt extremely uncomfortable. Seeing Sha Jin's expression, Mustache said another thing: "You know, the third child is very powerful now."

Sha Jin turned his head away: "Third brother?"

"By the way, where is he now?"

"Is he doing well now?"

Mustache nodded, and told Shajin: "He was sent back a long time ago and stayed in the Evil Peninsula. He is completely different from us guys, and he is very popular." Shajin laughed and took a deep breath. He took a deep breath, then picked up the wine glass: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that he who was the most ordinary back then was the one who got along the best among us."

Sha Jin was both happy for the other party and a little envious.

"I don't know when I will be transferred back."

Mustache laughed and patted Sha Jin on the shoulder.

"Impossible."

"You'll never be transferred back, those guys have long since forgotten about you."

Sha Jin immediately retorted: "How is it possible, I came here with a mission."

Mustache said: "Isn't it just to find the secret in the depths of the black storm? According to legend, there is a supreme **** there, right?"

Shakin was so shocked that he stood up: "How do you know?"

The other party shook his head: "Who doesn't know, do you think it's a secret?"

"At the beginning, the chief and the second chief of the temple were at odds over this issue because of the struggle of interests and power. A small problem turned into a big problem in the end."

"There is no other way. In the end, we can only declare this matter as an official mission and send someone to stay here all the time."

"Giving them a step down also defuses the conflict."

"No one takes this matter seriously, and no one really thinks that you can find anything here, or wait for something."

Mustache looked at his old friend, that young man who was full of vigor and pride.

"Alluvium."

"Don't say it is ten years, even if you wait for a hundred years, you may not be able to wait for a thousand years." It's killing us all the time."

"Can you afford to wait?"

Sha Jin was silent, he finally looked at Mustache's face.

"I believe that it must be useful for the gods to guide me here."

"My effort, my existence."

"It must have worked."

"It also makes sense."

He repeated the same words several times.

Mustache picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then placed it heavily on the table.

He supported his head with one hand, and there was a smile on his face that was still as indifferent as when he was a boy.

"Don't be so serious."

"Alluvial gold!"

"We are not important to this world, and many things do not depend on us."

"The gods don't need us, and they don't need you."

"He can't see us at all."

Shakin was silent.

He may have understood a long time ago that that is not an important mission at all, and he is just an insignificant role.

He has long been forgotten, and no one remembers a guy like him who was exiled to the depths of the sea.

But he signed the contract, he has come here, and he has been here for ten years. He has paid so much for this matter, so much that it is difficult for an ordinary person to give up. How many decades can an ordinary person have.

It was the most critical and beautiful decade of my life.

Sunfall Desert ~lightnovelpub.net~ In the boundless sea of ​​sand, a huge giant tower is connecting to the sky, opening a passage to the sky.

In the huge cloud vortex, one after another empty boats passed through the sea of ​​clouds to hide in it.

Osis stands at the top of the Babel Tower, behind him is a large and complex sphere, shining with miracles.

Osis said to the Clover beside him, "Another successful one."

Over the years, he spent almost all of his energy on building the sky port, the city of the magic net, and perfecting the universal manufacturing machine and the reincarnation of the three-leaf man.

Where the ladder of the sky can reach today, he has built sky ports one after another at several ends.

Starting from the giant island of Ruhe, it is connected to Tugzman in the Land of Light, and connected to the Sunfall Desert.

connects the whole world.

Osis: "The next one should be at the North Pole!"

The Sanye people on the side nodded: "It's just that the entrance and exit of the sky ladder there should be inside the black storm!"

"Also, that place..."

The Sanye people wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't say it.

Still, Osis understood what he was trying to say. At last, he said, looking to the far north. "Mirror of the Sky!"
