Pirate Traveling Merchant

The next day, after Nolan and Robin cleaned up the tavern together, they went to the beach to fish.

The sea surface is sparkling in the sun, and the gentle breeze blows, making people feel very comfortable and making people close their eyes involuntarily.Nolan simply lay on the bed and fell asleep. After all, it would take a while for the fish to take the bait. There was no need to watch it all the time and wait for the fishing rod to move before getting up.

Robin also felt this rare tranquility. After arriving here, she slowly came out of the previous trauma.Although she can't be said to be relieved, at least the people here gave her enough care and concern.It made her feel like she was wrapped in a heavy warmth, and she would cry softly only late at night.

However, the warmth brought to her by the people here helped her slowly get out of the haze in her heart.

Looking at the young man lying on the grass in front of her, Robin couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps she was also alone. This young man took care of her with all his strength and care, making her happy through pranks, making her familiar with the people in the village, etc. wait.

Looking at the calm sea, Robin gradually felt a little sleepy.

"The life here is so wonderful, I really want to live like this forever." Robin said in a voice that only he could hear.

"Well Robin, what did you say?" Nolan asked, looking at Robin with his eyes open.

"No, it's nothing." Robin replied in a panic. She didn't expect that Nolan's ears were so sensitive and could detect such a small sound. She immediately blushed. If her skin hadn't been a little dark, it would have been noticed immediately.

Nolan looked at Robin suspiciously, but Robin turned his head away from him so that he could not see his expression.Nolan stopped asking questions and continued to enjoy the breeze.

Two small figures, facing the endless sky, the sun shines through the leaves and is scattered on the grass. The breeze blows, bringing with it the sound of rustling leaves, and the light spots also fluctuate. It seems so beautiful at this moment. harmonious.

Nolan asked softly: "Robin, do you have a dream?"

Robin didn't expect Nolan to suddenly ask this question. Dreams, maybe before, but now Robin really doesn't have any ideas.Robin shook his head slightly to indicate that he had answered.

Nolan sat up and said, "Then let me talk about my dream first."

Robin looked at Nolan. Although she had just recalled bad things, she was still curious about what Nolan's dream was.

Nolan put his hands on his feet and said loudly: "My dream is to become the freest businessman."

"The freest and richest businessman" Robin asked doubtfully.

"Yes, the freest and richest." Nolan said excitedly, "I don't like to be restrained and controlled. There are too many rules in the navy. Forget it, if you become a pirate, you will be hunted down as a whole. , it’s not good either. As for the pirate hunter, I don’t have the strength and can’t do it. After much thought, the profession of merchant is the most likely to succeed.”

Nolan danced and started talking about his dreams and some future plans.

"When I grow up, I will leave here and go to a bigger and more prosperous island to start my dream. For this dream, I have already started saving money. Hehe" Nolan smiled so much that his face almost wrinkled. Together.

"Robin" Nolan suddenly patted Robin's shoulder, "You have a dream, I know, it's just that you don't want to say it. I saw you just now and you seemed a little painful, although I don't know what happened to you before, But if you have a dream, say it. We are friends and I will help you."

Looking at this sunny smiling face, coupled with the word friend, Robin couldn't help but think of Salon's last words, "The sea is boundless, and one day you will definitely meet a partner who will protect you. You are not destined to be alone in this world.”

Maybe the young man in front of him is the partner that Saron mentioned. Robin thought, maybe he should give it a try, try not to simply live, but try to live with his dreams.

Maybe it is good to have a dream life. Robin stood up, walked to the beach, and looked at the endless sea. She recalled the time when she stayed up all night reading and studying in order to know more knowledge, even if it made her People of the same age laugh at me for still working tirelessly to acquire knowledge, but there are still many things I don't know on this ocean.

The doctor, mother, Salon and everyone else wouldn't want me to live my whole life in such a muddle-headed way.As I thought about it, my hands clenched unconsciously.

Nolan looked at Robin. He knew that the current Robin was fighting with himself, and he did not disturb the current Robin. Even if the fishing rod was moving, he did not care. He just waited quietly. Robin, make your own decision.

After a long time, Robin took a deep breath and turned around. Maybe it was an illusion, but the Robin who turned around made Nolan feel that Robin was different at this time, although he didn't know the specific changes. What it is, but Robin is no longer the same Robin.

"I, I want to know all the history, this is my dream," Robin said loudly, with a hint of perseverance in his eyes.

"Hehe, let me tell you, you have a dream." Nolan stood up and walked to Robin. "Let's work hard for our dreams together, Robin."

The two looked at each other and slowly changed from smiling to laughing.

"Robin, let's compete," Nolan said.

Robin: "Compared to what"

"Competition to see who can fulfill his dream first." Nolan said confidently.

Robin was not to be outdone: "Let's compete. Who is afraid of whom? Don't cry when you lose."

"How could I lose? I am Lord Nolan, hahahahahahaha"

Looking at Nolan who was laughing wildly with his hands on his hips, Robin could only smile helplessly.

"Oh, my fish." Nolan ran to grab the fishing rod, which was almost dragged into the water by the fish, and began to hurriedly pull the rod and the fishing line.

Seeing how this man who was quite mature a moment ago turned into a funny young man, Robin covered his mouth and laughed.

Beep.........Beep.........The sound of merchant ships arriving from the dock came.

"Ah, today is the day when a merchant ship arrives once a month. Come on, Robin, let's go see what goodies there are." Nolan packed up the fish and tools and ran quickly to the dock, with Robin following closely behind.

When I arrived at the pier, I saw a small merchant ship parked there.

Every time a merchant ship comes, it mainly brings daily necessities and vegetables.The villagers used the caught seafood to trade with merchant ships in exchange for goods.In this isolated island, even news birds rarely come over, unless something big happens and newspapers are distributed for free.After all, people here don't have the habit of buying newspapers. To know what's going on outside, unless someone goes out for business, it's when merchant ships arrive every month.

The villagers moved the seafood they prepared to the dock one after another and traded with people on the merchant ships.By the time Nolan and the others arrived, the entire dock had turned into a small market.

Taking Robin with him, Nolan walked through the crowd.When you see something new and interesting, stop and look at it and ask about it.However, they usually stop at asking about the price. Except for daily necessities, the prices of other things are generally relatively high.If this island wasn't rich in marine resources, merchant ships would be too lazy to come to this inhospitable place.

This time Nolan saw a very strange thing on a street stall, which was a watch with a pointer on it.Nolan had never seen anything like this before. He was curious and picked it up to play with.

"Robin, look, this watch is so unique." He said, pulling Robin to look at it together.

It was also the first time for Robin to see such a thing. He seemed very curious and looked at it carefully.At this time the stall owner spoke: "This is not a watch, this is a record hand."

Nolan and Robin looked at the stall owner in confusion: "Record pointer"

"Yes, record pointer, this is something that can only be found in the great waterway." The stall owner continued.

"The great waterway is the great waterway full of all kinds of strange and weird things?" Nolan asked with bright eyes.

"It's not something weird, kid. Why do you say it's only found in the Great Waterway?" the stall owner said dumbfounded.

Nolan and Robin shook their heads.

"That's because in the great waterway, the magnetic field and the climate are changing every moment. It is impossible to navigate the great waterway with an ordinary compass. We can only rely on this recording pointer, which records the magnetic field on an island and It points to the next island, so recording the pointer is a necessity in the great waterway." The stall owner said.

"That's it," Nolan said, looking at the record pointer in his hand.
