Overgod Ascension - 811. Chapter 811

Emerald Harbor.

As the largest port in the Sor Kingdom, it has always been very prosperous, with countless ships berthing every day, and the demand for unloading cargo alone is enough to feed the coolies of the entire terminal.

Chopper is one of them.

As an ordinary wharf coolie, in addition to sweating and working hard every day, he has to watch his hard-earned money being exploited by port officials and gangs. In the end, the remaining bit is only enough to satisfy the family’s rations, even his wife. I have to pick up wild vegetables to survive, and the family conditions are really not good.

And the wife’s instructions when I went out today made this honest guy frown deeply.

“Little Bruce is ten years old, it is time to think about his future way out!”

As the son of the dock coolie, it is impossible for Little Bruce to go to school like the children of the nobles and wealthy citizens, or hire a tutor to train him more luxuriously.

The world has always been unequal. Even if the number of pastors and training opportunities in the church is monopolized by the upper echelons, for the people below, there is almost no hope of changing their destiny.

In the same way, knight training, even if it’s just the training of the most common fighter, is simply impossible. The daily cost of eating meat is an astronomical figure.

And if you don’t have a skill, you should be an adventurer or a mercenary? Beware of the corpse lying in the sewer the next day!

“Perhaps…you only have to become a sailor, right?”

Chopper murmured.

Naturally, he didn’t want to see Bruce stepping into his own path and becoming the most inferior coolie. After thinking for a long time, it seemed that only sailors were more suitable. After all, the only things he could contact were the docks and the big ships. The relationship between the three mates of the New Moon, it is not a big problem to put an intern sailor in hand.

The only key is that in the past few years before becoming a trainee sailor, what should Bruce do?

Even a ten-year-old kid is already half a labor force and should contribute to the family.

In addition, Chopper was very worried. If Bruce didn’t find something to do, the troublemaker would soon be bought by the three hands and become a very common thief at the dock.

The gods are on top, that is not a glorious thing.

As a result of his cares, Chopper looked a little dazed, and he didn’t even pay much attention to the new notice on the side of the road.

To be honest, even if there is any big news in the announcement, for a small person like him, there is only a little more talk after dinner, even if it is the order of the new king!

For the nobles in the Emerald Harbor, the Suar Kingdom suddenly changed to a king, which was a shocking event.

But as far as Chopper is concerned, the king is too far away from him, and it is not as thrilling as the news that the prices of black bread and wheat flour are about to rise.

“Hey, old fur seal, thank you for the rum!”

“Doc, the barbecue last time was really good!”

“Jeff, have you heard? Yesterday Old Bailey caught a golden eel. It was a legendary delicacy. Unfortunately, he didn’t taste it, but sold it…”

…

When he arrived at the dock, he greeted the workers without a word, and Chopper took off his jacket and folded it carefully.

Carrying cases and cabinets, it is really wearing clothes, this is a rare complete and decent outfit, he is also going to let little Bruce continue to wear it in the future.

“Chopper, do you have anything to worry about?”

However, he looked absent-minded, and when he was seen by the workers, he asked immediately.

“Oh…it’s not even Bruce’s business!”

Chopper answered with a wry smile, and the workers around him suddenly showed sympathy or understanding.

The problem of the little ghosts in the family is also their difficulty. After all, children at this time need to grow up and eat too much, which is also a great burden for the family.

Moreover, both parents are busy with work, and there is no one to take care of them. It is easy to be abducted or learn badly.

“In fact, in a family like ours, the kids in the future will be either fishermen or sailors, or coolies like us. If you are lucky, work harder, are favored by the shipowner, promoted to chief mate or something, you will be a great decent person. …”

After Chopper said his plan, he suddenly sighed.

He looked at the sea not far away, smelling the slightly fishy air in his nose, but a trace of unwillingness appeared in his eyes.

Because he knows very well that if this continues, unless a miracle occurs, his family will have to struggle at the bottom of society for several lifetimes.

But even if you know it, what about it?

The children of nobles are still nobles, and the children of slaves are still slaves. There are still too few people who can change their own destiny.

“Let’s go, go to work!”

Chopper put a rag on his shoulders and greeted the workers.

The work on the wharf is settled daily, and the daily work is received every day. If you do less, the family’s dinner today will be lost, and the most important thing is.

Therefore, Chopper also ignored his emotions, and immediately greeted his companions to start work.

“It is a dry season and the trade wind has not come. It is estimated that there is very little life today!”

A thin and tall man next to Chopper looked worried: “Be careful of those people in the Eastern District, they seem to be coming to shoot our business!”

“Dare they?”

Qiaoba raised his brows, naturally with a fierce aura: “The money we give to the’Blood Axe Gang’ is the same. If they dare to grab business, we will do it directly!”

In the face of survival, no matter how arrogant people are, they have to lower their heads, and no matter how honest they are, they will become extremely vicious.

Especially after seeing that there were few ships on the pier and the coolies in the east side started to move, Joe Baden got up and almost immediately staged a battle on the pier.

The pedestrians, small businessmen, and even the people on the patrol team watched with a smile, as a side show to pass the boring time every day.

“ferry!”

“Many boats!”

…

However, the fight did not start after all, and with the exclamation, Chopper was stunned to see a large cloud of clouds drifting into the port.

When he got close, he discovered that the dark clouds were all sails that obscured the sky, casting huge shadows, and the tonnage and style of the ships were the only thing he had seen in his life.

“What a big fleet!”

Chopper opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time: “This is definitely not something that the nearby island nobles can buy. Is it from the mainland? But the trade season has long passed…”

“Hurry up, go to work!”

Because of the arrival of a large number of jobs, the coolies naturally couldn’t fight.

After all, no one will have trouble with money. Isn’t that the reason why they have to fight for it?

But now, experienced coolies already know how much they can do today, and there will never be situations where they can’t start work.

“Where is the ship?”

Seeing the huge dragon head statue that resembles a deer, a horse, and scales, Chopper asked his steward in a puzzled way.

“Hey… this is the fleet from the Eastern Continent, the Dachang Empire, and the Yunjia Chamber of Commerce, have you heard of it?”

Guan Shi said a few slurred words.

Obviously, he didn’t know the inside story either, and these news were just heard, but it didn’t prevent him from showing up in front of a bunch of coolies and satisfying his sense of superiority.

“Eastern Continent, Dachang Empire?”

Chopper blinked: “Where is that?”

As a dock coolie, he has come into contact with a lot of news. Compared with those farmers who only know how to farm, he is already a well-informed person and has a certain understanding of the entire kingdom, but he can’t even imagine another continent and an empire. What kind of concept.

“Okay, hurry up and work!”

There was a trace of embarrassment on the steward’s face. Obviously he was not quite clear, but at this time he changed the subject directly: “If today’s task is not completed, no one can ever want to go home for dinner.”

“Oh!”

The coolies screamed and motivated. After all, they were paid by the piece. The more they did, the more they were paid.

…

One day passed unconsciously, the sun set, and a purple moon hung in the sky.

By the bright moonlight, Chopper carried a handful of copper in his arms, and two pieces of brown bread, fresh onions, carrots… He returned home in the dark after the harvest of the day.

“Oh, great!”

After opening the door, a little boy ran out, holding the bread, and cheering excitedly.

“Haha, little Bruce, you can finally get a full meal tonight!”

Chopper touched his son’s little head affectionately, and said excitedly: “Did you know? A bunch of big Eastern ships came on the dock today, and many incredible things, such as gorgeous colors and magical softness, arrived. The silk, as well as the polished porcelain, are said to be able to sell high-priced goods… It was shipped by a large chamber of commerce. If this is successful, it will continue in the future…”

There was excitement in his eyes: “If this is the case, maybe I can get full work every day, save a sum of money, and send you to study…”

“Dear!”

At this time, her wife came out, holding a pot of broth, exuding a strong fragrance, which surprised Chopper.

After all, his wife is a very frugal man.

“Little Bruce’s matter has been settled. The sheriff came to our house today to make an announcement!”

The woman said excitedly: “Did you not read the Kingdom’s notice? Starting this year, all children of school age can be sent to the newly built school for unified learning. The school also provides a lunch, all of which are free of charge. …I heard that the kingdom will also select potential seedlings from them, and cultivate them as warriors and knight masters!”

“Huh?! I didn’t pay attention!”

Chopper picked up his son: “You mean?”

“Yes!”

The woman raised her chest proudly: “Little Bruce will become a decent literate man in the future, maybe he will become a respected master knight!”
