Year 1490 of the Round Sea Calendar.
The weather was clear and cloudless.
In the blue sea where the sea and sky met, a merchant ship was slowly moving forward, heading towards an island in the great sea route in an orderly manner.
The huge merchant ship was filled with hundreds of passengers. Some were tourists for personal reasons, some were businessmen who wanted to make money, and there were even a third type of people who boarded the merchant ship for other purposes.
At this moment, on the deck of this merchant ship, on the fence near the sea, an old and a young man were chatting happily.
"…Right! Sakasugi, I've known you for two days, but I haven't asked you what your purpose is.”
Pax, who was wearing exquisite clothes and obviously came from a wealthy family, looked at the young man in front of him who he had only met two days ago and asked with an amiable smile.
Compared to Pax, the young man opposite him was only wearing simple clothes. Although he also had a shrewd and capable spirit, it was obvious that he was not the kind of rich and noble son.
Logically speaking, Pax, who was born into a wealthy family, should not be able to have a relationship with a commoner like the young man. After all, the world they lived in was completely different.
However, as the saying goes, old people are shrewd. Pax, who had decades of life experience, could be said to have seen countless people. With his eyes trained over the years, he could roughly grasp a person's ability and character at first glance.
It was also because of this that Pax was certain that Sakasugi was an extraordinary young man when he saw him for the first time.
Old people who don't die are thieves!
Doing business was an investment, and being a person was also an investment. After Pax saw Sakasugi for the first time, he took the initiative to befriend him.
Afterwards, it was proven that Pax's foresight was indeed very sharp. This Sakasugi was indeed extraordinary.
Although he was born a commoner, his knowledge, speech, and wisdom far exceeded the scope of a commoner. Even Pax, who was a veteran, felt a little overwhelmed.
Even though Pax was just a run-down noble, he was not an arrogant noble who would only be blind and ignorant in his own circle.
Pax had spent most of his life in business to support his family. Through years of traveling, he had accumulated countless experiences. This was his confidence and his only pride other than his noble status. Proud.
However, this pride. Proud seemed to be struggling in front of Sakasugi, which shocked Pax. At the same time, Pax was even more optimistic about Sakasugi, and his desire to befriend him grew stronger.
Fortunately, Pax didn't come from another world. Otherwise, he would have shouted," Rare goods worth hoarding!"
The young man named Sakasugi had no idea that he had become the Qin Yiren in Pax's eyes. After hearing Pax's question, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
"This…I am…"
"What? Was there something he couldn't say? If it is, then forget it. You don't have to answer me.”Seeing the hesitation on Sakasugi's face, Pax said generously.
"No, I can't! There's nothing to hide, Old Pax. I'm actually going to enlist in the Navy Headquarters to protect everyone.”As soon as Pax finished speaking, Sakasugi seemed to have made a decision in his heart. The hesitation in his heart turned into determination as he spoke with a righteous expression.
"I see. I was wondering why you were alone. So you're planning to become a navy officer!”
Hearing Sakasugi's words and remembering that it was the navy's annual recruitment season, Pax said in realization.
"But since you've decided to become a navy officer, why did you hesitate just now? This wasn't something shameful. On the contrary, it was something glorious!”
"This! I still don't know if I can be recruited by the navy. Therefore, he naturally did not have the confidence to tell anyone about this.”Sakasugi made up an excuse to hide the real reason.
"How can that be? This old man has only seen a few outstanding young men like you in my life. If they don't even accept a navy like you, then they're really blind.”
Pax said with admiration. As for whether it was true or not, only God knew. Anyway, he wouldn't lose anything by saying good things. He naturally said whatever he wanted.
"You can't say that. After all, I want to enlist in the navy headquarters!”Sakasugi unconsciously emphasized the words " navy headquarters " as he spoke with an inexplicable expression. There was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
"Hiss! You're actually going to enlist in the navy headquarters! What ambition! A hero really came from a young man!”Pax gasped in shock.
After hearing Sakasugi's words, Pax remembered that their destination was St. Peter Island, and a few islands ahead of St. Peter Island was where the navy headquarters was located.
The navy had branches all over the great sea route, and even the entire four seas outside the great sea route. Therefore, the conscription locations were naturally all over the sea.
Due to the different regions, the recruitment standards of each conscription location were naturally different. Some had high standards, while others had low standards. The standards of the great sea route were naturally high, and the standards of the four seas were naturally low.
Among the many conscription locations, if one had to mention the highest standard of enlistment, it would naturally be the navy headquarters. After all, it was the headquarters of the entire navy.
What was the recruitment standard of the navy headquarters?
Although it was not to the extent of being one in ten thousand, it was at least one in a hundred.
Every year, there would be many hot-blooded or ambitious young people who attempted to enlist in the navy headquarters, hoping to have a better future. However, among these people, there were very few who could really join the navy headquarters.
Because of this, over time, everyone knew that one had to have superhuman strength to join the navy headquarters. Otherwise, they would only be asking for humiliation.
Therefore, those who enlisted in the navy were basically people with real skills and confidence in themselves. This was also why Pax was shocked. It seemed that he had underestimated the young man he had met on the ship.
Sakasugi looked a little embarrassed by Pax's shock, but he couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart.
It was not Sakasugi's own idea to enlist in the navy headquarters, but his predecessor 'Sakasugi's decision!
