Overgod Ascension

Port Emerald.

As the largest port in the Kingdom of Cerr, it has always been very busy, with countless ships docked every day, and the need to unload cargo alone is enough to feed the entire dock.

Joba is one of them.

As a regular dock, in addition to sweating and working hard every day, you have to watch your sweat money being exploited by port officials and gangs. The last thing you have is enough to satisfy your family's rations. Even your wife has to pick up vegetables for a day. Family conditions are really not good.

And today when I went out, my wife's orders made this honest guy frown deeply.

“Little Bruce is ten years old and should consider the way out! ”

As a hard-working son at the pier, Bruce Jr., is unlikely to be able to go to school or, more luxuriously, hire tutors, just like the children of aristocrats and wealthy citizens.

The world has always been unequal, even though the church's priesthood and opportunities for further education are monopolized by the upper echelons, and for the lower echelons there is little hope of changing fate.

By the same token, knight training, even as one of the most common warriors, is simply not possible, and the cost of eating meat on a daily basis is an astronomical number.

And without a skill, you're going to be an adventurer or a mercenary? Watch out, the next day the body will lie in the sewer!

“Perhaps… there's only one sailor left? ”

Joba muttered.

Naturally, he didn't want to see Bruce go on his own back path and become the most bottom-line hardship. He just thought about it for half a day, and it seemed that only a sailor would be more appropriate. After all, all he could get in touch with was the docks and the big ships, and with the relationship with the Third Platoon of the Crescent, plugging an intern sailor on board was not a big problem.

The only thing that matters is, in the years before you become a trainee sailor, what good is it for little Bruce?

Even though the 10-year-old is already half the workforce, he should contribute to the family.

And Joba was very worried that if he didn't find something for Little Bruce, the troublemaker would soon be bought by three hands and turned into a very common thief at the pier.

Gods, that's not a glorious thing to do.

Joba looked a little tranced because of the number of ideas in his mind, and didn't even pay much attention to changing the announcement on the side of the road.

Honestly, even though there is some big news in the announcement, for a small figure like him, there is only a little more money to talk about after the tea meal, even if the new king's orders!

For the nobility of Port Emerald as a whole, the sudden replacement of a king by the Kingdom of Sur was a shocking event.

But for Joba, the king or something, too far away from him, is not as exciting as the news of the upcoming price increase of black bread and wheat flour.

“Hey, old seadog, thanks for the rum over there! ”

“Doc, the last barbecue was great! ”

“Jeff, have you heard? Yesterday, Old Berry caught a golden jade. It was a legendary delicacy. Too bad he didn't taste it, but sold it...”

……

When we got to the pier, we said hello to the workers, and Joba took off his jacket and folded it carefully.

The trunk cabinet is very worn clothes. This is a rare and complete decorative outfit, and he's going to let little Bruce wear it later.

“Joba, what's on your mind? ”

Instead, he looked faint and was seen by the workers. He immediately asked.

“Alas... it's not about Little Bruce yet! ”

Joba replied with a bitter smile, and the surrounding workmates suddenly showed a sense of sympathy or understanding.

The problem of children in the family is also their difficulty. After all, children at this time need to grow up, eat especially much, and it is also a great burden on the family.

Moreover, both parents are busy working, without care, and can easily be abducted or learned badly.

“In fact, a family like ours, kids are either fishermen or sailors in the future, or have the same hard work as us. If you are lucky, work harder, be seen by the owner of the ship, be promoted to first mate or something, you are a great decent person...”

After Joba said his plan, he sighed.

He looked at the ocean not far away and smelled a little smelly air in his nose, but a hint of discomfort appeared in his eyes.

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

But even if I did, so what?

Too few are the children of nobles or nobles, the children of slaves or slaves who can change their own destiny.

“Come on, get to work! ”

Joba put a rag on his shoulder and greeted his workers.

The docks are full of daily work, and if we do less, the family's dinner will be unlocked today, most importantly.

So Joba couldn't help but feel the emotion and immediately greeted his peers to get to work.

“It's a dry season, and the wind hasn't come, and it's estimated that there's very little work today! ”

A thin, tall face next to Joba with worries: “Watch out for the East Side guys, they seem to be coming to gun our business! ”

“How dare they? ”

Joba's eyebrows lifted, naturally with a bit of fierceness: “We give the same money to the Blood Axe Gang, if they dare to rob the business, we will do it directly! ”

In front of survival, the more arrogant must bow their heads, and the more honest people who have sex with each other will become vicious.

Especially after seeing few boats aboard the pier and the East End struggle began, Jobaden got up and was about to perform an armored fight on the pier.

The pedestrians next door and the small businessmen, even the patrol, watched with a smile, as the aftermath of a boring day.

“Ship!”

“Lots of boats! ”

……

However, after all, the shelf did not fight, and with shouting, Joba was stunned to see a large cloud drift into the port.

Close together, it was discovered that the clouds were shielded sails, casting a huge shadow, and the tonnage and style of the boat, all the more so in his lifetime.

“What a big fleet! ”

Joba opened his mouth and couldn't hold it together for half a day: "This is definitely not something that the nobles of the nearby islands can handle, is it from the mainland? But the season of trade is long gone...”

“Come on, let's get to work! ”

Because of a lot of work, the struggles of the hardworking can't be fought naturally.

After all, nobody can afford the money. Isn't that why they're fighting?

But now that the experienced painstakings know how many problems only they can do today, there will never be a situation where they cannot start.

“Is this the boat there? ”

Looking at the huge statue of a faucet with scales, like a deer and a horse, Joba asked inexplicably about his stewardship.

“Hey hey... this is a fleet from the Oriental Continent, the Great Chang Empire, the Yunjia Chamber of Commerce, have you heard of it? ”

The administrator said a few stubborn words.

Obviously, he was also unaware of the information and had just heard about it, but it did not prevent him from setting his record in front of a group of hardships and satisfying his sense of superiority.

“Oriental, the Great Chang Empire? ”

Joba blinked: “Where is that? ”

As a dock worker, he had a lot of contact information. He was already a well-informed person compared to farmers who only knew how to bury their fields. He also had a certain understanding of the whole kingdom, but he could not imagine what another continent, or an empire, was like.

“Okay, let's get to work! ”

With a slight embarrassment on the steward's face, he obviously doesn't know much, but at this point he shifts the subject directly: “If today's task is not completed, no one will ever come home for dinner. ”

“Oh!”

The laborers screamed and worked hard. After all, they were paid on a piece-by-piece basis. The more they did, the more they paid.

……

The day passed unconsciously, and the sun set, hanging halfway through the sky with a little purple moon.

Through the bright moonlight, Joba carried a handful of copper in his arms, and two black breads, fresh onions, carrots... he worked a day to harvest and touch the black back home.

“Oh, great! ”

After opening the door, a little boy ran out, lifted the bread and cheered with excitement.

“Ha ha, little Bruce, you can finally eat tonight! ”

Joba touched his son's little head lovingly and said excitedly, "You know what? Today's docks are packed with big Oriental ships and loads of incredible things, such as gorgeous colors, magically supple silk, and glossy porcelain, all said to be very expensive goods... It is a big Chamber of Commerce to ship, if this success, it will continue in the future..."

He had excitement in his eyes: “If that's the case, maybe I can start working every day, save a fortune and send you to study...”

“Honey!”

At this point, Joba was surprised when her wife came out with a pot of broth and a rich aroma.

After all, his wife is a very thrifty man.

“The little Bruce thing has been settled, the sheriff came to our house today to announce! ”

The woman said with excitement, "Didn't you see the Kingdom's message? Starting this year, all children of appropriate age can be sent to the newly built school for unified study, and the school also offers a lunch, all free of charge... I hear the kingdom will also choose from them seedlings with potential to be cultivated as warriors and knights! ”

“Hmm?! I didn't notice! ”

Joba picked up his son and said, "You mean? ”

“Exactly! ”

The woman proudly lifted her chest: “Little Bruce will become a decent man who can read, and perhaps a respected knight! ”
