    Xiao Ran walked from the outside of the city to the pier for a cup of tea. When Xiao Ran came here, he saw what a huge crowd of people.  There are countless people wearing coarse cloths or holding fiber dust or hemp rope fishing nets in their hands. However, the faces of these people are either filled with youthful and contented smiles, or full of simplicity after vicissitudes of life.  These people look very rough in their clothing.  Although Xiao Ran's clothes were not very expensive, Xiao Ran's snow-white gown and such a simple style still attracted the attention of many people.  But because Xiao Ran looked really young, those people just looked at Xiao Ran curiously and didn't say anything.  "This little brother, this is Wang Hao, the team leader here. I wonder what brings you here?!" A middle-aged man with a slightly rough appearance and a face full of rust lines stepped forward.  Xiao Ran asked in front of him.  He is a team leader in charge of security in this area. Now that someone like Xiao Ran is here, he needs to ask.  Xiao Ran stopped and looked at the middle-aged man.  This man is more than half a head taller than Xiao Ran, and because he has been doing rough work all year round, he is extremely strong. Compared with him, Xiao Ran can be called skinny.  Looking at this strong man, Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said, "I want to buy a ship here for sea use, but I don't know who I should look for?!" Xiao Ran's polite answer made this big man instantly fall in love.  However, when I heard Xiao Ran said that he wanted to buy a boat to go to sea, he became a little confused.  Although the scenery here is beautiful, no one has come back to go out to sea since ancient times. Even if they go out to sea, they can only rent a boat and go out to sea for a while and then come back. However, the young man in front of me actually said that he wanted to buy a boat.  Just, is he too rich?  Seeing the doubts in the heart of the big man in front of him, Xiao Ran had no choice but to explain: "I'm from inland. I heard that the scenery here is very good, so I came to see it. I bought a boat purely for convenience!"  Hearing what Xiao Ran said, the big man was immediately relieved. Also, a young man from the mainland would definitely not be short of such a small amount of money to travel.  Thinking of this, the big man waved to Xiao Ran and said, "In that case, come with me. I will take you around here to see if anyone has extra boats that can be sold to you!" Xiao Ran did not hesitate and followed directly.  He walked out behind the big man.  And the people who were watching suddenly dispersed and started busy themselves.  "I wonder what kind of ship this little brother wants to buy? Does he need to hire someone else? The sea area here is not calm. There are often many monster attacks. If it is a small ship, it will be fine offshore. If it enters  Deep down, that would be dangerous!" Wang Hao chuckled.  "I just need to buy one that can go into the deep sea. I don't need to hire someone else. I like to be clean!" Xiao Ran said with a slight smile.  Hearing Xiao Ran¡¯s words.  The big man frowned visibly, but he did not continue speaking.  Soon, Xiao Ran followed the big man to a huge dock.  According to Xiao Ran's preliminary estimate, the number of ships on this pier must be at least close to a thousand.  There were also a large number of large ships floating on the sea, and even the huge ship that was a hundred meters long that Xiao Ran saw in the air was parked quietly at the dock.  Most of the ships on this pier are occupied, but a few of them are almost empty.  It even looks brand new.  Xiao Ran immediately understood why this big man brought him here.  Sure enough, I saw the big man leading Xiao Ran straight towards the location of those brand-new ships, walking as he did.  While turning back to Xiao Ran, he explained: "Those ships were all built by the shipyards nearby. They were prepared for those who were shipwrecked or were under attack. However, there were only a few dozen ships. If we don't rush, I estimate.  The ships will be sold out. ¡°Why?  !  "Xiao Ran was stunned. Since it was kept as a spare, how could it be sold so quickly? Is it possible that ships are sinking here every day? As if he knew what Xiao Ran was thinking, the big man's face was a little heavy, and then he said with a smile: "Little  Brother, you don¡¯t know. It seems to you that we are very prosperous living in the sea, and we can indeed get the benefits we want from the sea.  But within three years, a large number of monsters will appear on the bottom of the sea. These monsters will launch attacks at irregular times. As long as they attack, those in the offshore may be able to escape, but those in the deep sea will be able to escape.  , it¡¯s impossible to come back!  ¡± Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, he hadn¡¯t thought of it yet.Of course this will happen.  Speaking of this, Wang Hao's face turned a little sad, and it was obvious that he was thinking of something.  Xiao Ran didn't say anything else. These had nothing to do with him at the moment. Besides, he didn't have time to take care of these things. It was unknown whether he could even take care of them.  But Xiao Ran knew that there must be a reason for these things.  In silence all the way, the two people soon arrived at the docks where dozens of brand-new ships were moored.  There are about fifty or sixty boats moored at this pier. These boats are completely new. They only have different sizes and specifications. But judging from the style, they are all the same sailing boats that go out to sea for fishing.  As soon as Xiao Ran and the two reached this position, an old man came out of the cabin of a large ship. When he saw the two people arriving, his eyes suddenly showed a bright light. He quickly came to the two people and said with a smile: "Captain Wang,  Who is this?!" After saying this, the old man glanced at Xiao Ran.  Because of Xiao Ran¡¯s cultivation, his whole body was filled with an elegant aura, which made people feel familiar at first sight.  Wang Hao obviously knew this old man. When he saw the old man coming out, he also laughed, then pointed at Xiao Ran and said: "This little brother wants to buy a ship for sea use. I don't know.  Have all these ships been sold out? If there are any left, you might as well sell one! " Hearing Wang Hao's words, the old man frowned obviously and looked at Xiao Ran with hesitation on his face.  look.  Even though Xiao Randang noticed the old man's hesitation, he was stunned and blurted out: "Old man, is there any inconvenience? Or have the ships been sold out?!" "There are still a lot of ships. But this year there are three  The annual flood of monsters is about to begin. If the red tide appears, it will be very dangerous for you to sail a ship to the deep sea!" The old man pondered for a moment and then told Xiao Ran.  "Red tide?!" Xiao Ran was stunned, and immediately understood that it was the invasion of the monsters that Wang Hao told him before.  However, Xiao Ran didn't care much about this, so he said to the old man: "It's okay, you just need to sell me a ship!" When Xiao Ran said this, the old man looked at Xiao Ran carefully again.  At this moment, he discovered the Youtian Sword on Xiao Ran's back, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.  Despite this, the old man still had some hesitation on his face, so Xiao Ran could only wink at Wang Hao standing aside.  Wang Hao naturally knew at this moment that Xiao Ran was definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could he dare to enter the deep sea when he knew about the red tide?  Without hesitation at that moment, he said to the old man: "Old Qiu, if you have something here, just sell it. This little brother is not an ordinary person, and we are about to go to sea, so he will help you along the way."  We went with him, so there should be no problem!" "Okay!" Hearing Wang Hao say this, the old man nodded.  "Come with me!" the old man said softly, then turned around and walked up to the cabin behind him.  Xiao Ran and others immediately followed, although the ship was floating on the sea.  However, he almost didn't feel any shaking. Xiao Ran knew immediately that the ship was definitely deep in water, but Xiao Ran didn't say anything.     quickly.  The three of them boarded the ship. Under the leadership of the old man, Xiao Ran and others entered the cabin directly and walked out from the other side.  Here, having already left the cabin and standing outside the side of the ship, Xiao Ran immediately knew why the old man brought them here.  Standing here, Xiao Ran could see all the ships docked on the pier clearly, even the size.  At this moment, the old man said to Xiao Ran: "Although this little friend doesn't know why you bought a boat to go to sea, it's better to be careful. During the red tide, ordinary warriors are not immune! Now, you  Let's see what kind of ship you need! " After hearing what the old man said, Xiao Ran was a little depressed. The old man made it clear that he didn't want to sell the ship to him, but Xiao Ran also knew that the old man meant well, but he was really not afraid.  If not, why not just fly away?  However, Xiao Ran could not explain this lazily, his eyes swept over the ships one by one, and finally stopped on a ship that was not too big, but not too small either.  "Just that one!" Xiao Ran pointed at the ship and whispered to the old man.  "That medium-sized ship costs one hundred and twenty gold coins. It generally requires people who are skilled in driving ships to drive it. Are you sure you need it?" The old man explained to Xiao Ran.  "Yes!" Xiao Ran nodded lightly.  "Then you come with me to pay the bill!" The old man said this.After he spoke again, he turned around and walked in. Wang Hao next to him was a little dazed. One hundred and twenty gold coins. The price of the ship was so expensive. This young man didn't even bargain. He really didn't know what to say.  Okay, he shook his head and followed in. After entering the cabin, the old man glanced at Xiao Ran. Before he could speak, Xiao Ran had already placed a purse on the long table in front of him.  The old man glanced at Xiao Ran, picked up the purse, and then poured it directly on the table.  A small pile of gold coins that looked like a mountain of gold suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, still glowing faintly under the candlelight.  The old man counted it casually and said to Xiao Ran: "Yes, exactly one hundred and twenty gold coins. This is the ownership certificate of the ship just now. Take it. That ship belongs to you now. You  You can drive away now, or drive away in a few days, it¡¯s the same!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s leave it here for a few days, I¡¯ll come back to pick it up in a few days,¡± Xiao Ran said lightly, then turned and walked outside!  past.  Wang Hao took one look and followed him out. He still had things to go back to do, so naturally he couldn't stay here any longer.  "Write more about Brother Wang. This is a small gift, not a sign of respect!" Xiao Ran casually handed over a purse and smiled at Wang Hao.  "Haha, little brother, this is what I should do. I don't need this. You can take it back!" Wang Hao smiled slightly, but did not take the purse Xiao Ran handed over.  Think about it for a moment.  Wang Hao continued: "Little brother, our fleet will go to sea in a few days. If it is convenient for you, you might as well sail behind us. That will increase your safety a lot!" "Haha, no need, I just wanted to take a look.  It's just the scenery, thank you very much. If there is a chance, we will meet again!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly.  Since others were unwilling to accept money, Xiao Ran was too lazy to continue giving him money.  After saying goodbye to Wang Hao, Xiao Ran returned to his previous residential area.  The reason why Xiao Ran came to the residential area was that after four or five consecutive days of flying, Xiao Ran was already mentally exhausted, and it would take at least a few months to get out of the Endless Sea.  ¡° If Xiao Ran doesn¡¯t rest well now, it will be really difficult to go out again later.  So no matter what, Xiao Ran must rest first before talking.  With this thought in his mind, Xiao Ran had already arrived at the previous residential area.  At this moment, the sky is completely bright, and there are fewer pedestrians on the street.  The only ones left were some vendors still walking in a hurry.  Not far away, Xiao Ran saw a restaurant called Yuelai Inn. Xiao Ran walked in without thinking.  "Xiao Ran just wants to rest, Xiao Ran doesn't mind any restaurant.  "This guest officer, I don't know whether he is working as a head or staying in a hotel?" A waiter saw Xiao Ran walking to the door.  Suddenly he came over with a smile on his face.  "Prepare a table of good food for me, and prepare a room. The rest is a reward for you!" Xiao Ran took out a gold coin and threw it over.  The waiter hasn¡¯t seen Xiao Ran clearly yet.  Then he saw the gold coin thrown by Xiao Ran, and immediately caught it in a hurry, holding it in his hand and his eyes widened.  He has been working here for several months without getting a single gold coin. This customer will get a gold coin as soon as he sells it, and the remaining money will definitely not be much less.  The smile on the waiter's face became brighter and brighter now. Seeing Xiao Ran smiling softly over there, he opened his mouth and said to Xiao Ran: "Sir, please come in and I will take you to the private seats on the second floor!"  Sitting there, Xiao Ran didn't care. He nodded directly and followed the waiter to the second floor.  Compared with the first floor, the second floor is indeed much cleaner, and there are even many private rooms inside.  Xiao Ran entered a private room directly under the leadership of Xiao'er.  In the private room, the waiter carefully wiped all the tables and chairs, then ran to open the window, and then said to Xiao Ran: "Sir, please sit down for a while, I will go and greet you last time, right away  Come on!" When the waiter saw Xiao Ran nodded, he ran out immediately.  It has to be said that the waiter was so fast. In just one cup of tea, the waiter ran up again, carrying plates of dishes, a pot of wine and a cup in his hands.  When Xiao Ran put down all these dishes, Xiao Ran looked at the eight dishes and a bottle of wine on the table, and even Xiao Ran nodded.  This side is close to the seaside. Xiao Ran¡¯s table is occupied by seafood, and each one is delicious, delicious, and delicious. Even if he hasn¡¯t eaten it yet, Xiao Ran already knows that these are definitely the best.  After nodding to Xiao Ran, the waiter said goodbye and left.  This mealXiao Ran was so full that even before Xiao Ran greeted the waiter, the waiter had already walked in on his own initiative.  Then he took Xiao Ran into a room on the roof of the building near the seaside, and finally said goodbye.  Even Xiao Ran couldn't find anything picky about what Xiao Ran arranged. The food was delicious. Even this room was very nice. You could directly enjoy the sea view outside the city.  But Xiao Ran has no intention to watch these.  After entering the room, Xiao Ran closed the door directly, then took a look at the sea view before returning to the room and falling asleep.  Although practicing can relieve fatigue, Xiao Ran knows that if he continues to practice like this, it will be very detrimental to him going to sea later, and may even make Xiao Ran go crazy, so Xiao Ran will not do such a thing that is not good for him.  Once the whole person relaxed, Xiao Ran quickly fell into sleep.  This time, Xiao Ran didn't know how long he slept, but Xiao Ran knew that he slept very comfortably.  When Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, it was already getting dark. Xiao Ran slept for six or seven hours.  It was a rare moment of relaxation, so Xiao Ran didn't mind. After getting up and washing up, Xiao Ran opened the room again and walked out.  Because it was approaching evening, there were more people eating in the restaurant. Even in the private room on the second floor, Xiao Ran heard many people talking.  And Xiao Ran was just about to go out to find the waiter, but before Xiao Ran went down, he happened to see Xiao Ran and immediately waved to the waiter.  "Sir, what do you want?" The waiter chuckled softly. He knew that Xiao Ran had money. If he served well, there would still be rewards. Even if there were no rewards, the money would be enough for him to spend.  It's been a while.  "Help me prepare some food and bring it to my room!" After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he threw another gold coin. The waiter immediately caught it and nodded, then turned to the other waiter and said a few words.  , he turned around and left.  Even Xiao Ran was very satisfied with the waiter's observation, so Xiao Ran would reward him, otherwise Xiao Ran would not reward someone for no reason.  After taking a look at the private rooms and wine tables around him, Xiao Ran turned around and returned to his room.  After eating the food brought by the waiter, Xiao Ran waited for the child to clean up, then sat cross-legged on the bed and started practicing.  (To be continued)
