Thirty-six years ago, Kannepal Tiphon, who had just inherited the title of earl, was like every other Tissen nobleman. He spent his days partying, hunting, playing, socializing, etc. The territory was managed by a steward who had served the Tiphon family for generations. He only needed to build good relationships with other nobles in the kingdom and sign some major events.
Although Tisen was a seaside kingdom and the Tiphon family also had a port, he was not interested in sailing. What he was really interested in was painting, and he was a good painter. Even many nobles often asked him for paintings.
He often went to the Thyssen Kingdom Academy to exchange painting skills with many masters, and there he also met a woman who changed his life.
Cathy, who has no last name, is a sea merchant who is attached to the Tisen nobles. She was recommended to the Kingdom Academy because of her amazing talent as a mage.
I don't know when the two of them started dating, from chatting a few words when they met to painting her portrait, from talking about art to exchanging their troubles, from suddenly thinking of her when I was lonely...
However, Kannepal Tiphon was a nobleman, and he knew that there was no possibility for the two of them to be together. Cathy was also a proud woman, and she would not allow herself to become the mistress or plaything of a nobleman.
The two have always been friends, but the traditional power of the Central Garden Continent makes it impossible for them to stand together.
After graduating, Cathy returned home and became a ship's wizard on the family fleet, but the two did not lose contact. Instead, they kept in touch, but they both tacitly wrote down some insignificant little things or experiences.
As Cathy stayed on board the ship longer, she would draw some nautical charts, and the letters she sent always included charts of the seas he had sailed through.
His life was very dull. The housekeeper tried to arrange a marriage for him many times, but he always refused. He didn't know why, but he seemed unwilling to do so. He knew it was impossible, but he just didn't want to do so.
However, for the sake of the Tiphon family, Kannepal Tiphon finally compromised. On the day when he was about to meet his first blind date, he stood on the top of the castle and looked towards the sea early in the morning.
"Master, you will meet a girl you like this time. Even if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. There are many young ladies who admire you, and you will always find your love." The butler bowed behind him.
Kannepal Tiphon spoke for a long time, and finally asked, "Why haven't you received a letter from Miss Cathy for so long?"
"Miss?" The butler was obviously stunned by the address, but he still replied politely: "It seems that her fleet encountered a storm. You know, since the Stormfall incident, the sea is no longer docile..."
Kannepal Tiphon stayed in his room all day and didn't come out, nor did he go to meet the girl he might like...
A few days later, a major event happened in the Kingdom of Tisen. Kannepal Tiphon passed the title of earl to his younger brother and disappeared.
From then on, a man named Kannili went from being a sailor to having his own ship, and later his own fleet. He crossed countless dangerous seas, opened up countless waterways, conquered the seven seas, and connected the East and the West...
He didn't know why he did this, leaving behind his noble life to go to the dangerous sea. Perhaps he wanted to see the scenery Cathy had described, or perhaps it was to make himself run, run non-stop...
Listening to the story of this dirty old man, everyone on the Silver Deer fell into a long silence.
Finally, someone broke the silence. It was Frederick who spoke. He scratched his red beard, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe he doesn't love Cathy at all. He's just tired of the aristocratic life."
"Oh, Boss Frederick, don't say such discouraging things." Kahneman was a little broken by Frederick's somewhat hurtful words.
"No one will get tired of the aristocratic life." Wodek doesn't believe that anyone would not want to be a noble.
"Frederick, you should keep more beautiful things in your heart," He Li crossed her arms, obviously dissatisfied with the gang leader. Although she was a little stronger, she was still full of yearning for love.
"I've never figured out what her death has to do with your sailing." Another straight man, Melvin, asked politely, but was pushed away by the orc Good.
"He said he wanted to run, and keep running!"
“But running doesn’t have to be sailing, it can also be jogging…”
Looking at the people sitting around Count Kannepal Tiphon arguing endlessly, Xia Lan stopped them and asked, "So you were trapped in Boravice on your last voyage?"
"Yes, but it's not my fault. It was that idiot captain who ignored me and insisted on having his own way that caused the accident.
After crossing the Baltic Islands and connecting the eastern and western continents, many in my fleet felt accomplished and disbanded. I was forced to board an idiot's ship to search for Boravus, and ended up being trapped here for sixteen years. Fortunately, I became a Golden Warrior, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to see my bones.
After the initial excitement, Kanni began to speak more. Perhaps because he had not communicated with others for too long, his voice was halting and difficult to hear.
"What's the current situation in the waters around Bolavis? It hasn't been discovered for so many years. There must be something special about it." Xia Lan was full of curiosity about this lost land.
Kanepal nodded and said, "Boravis is close to the Storm Sea, and the surrounding waters are indeed very dangerous, which is why no one has found it. However, after years of trying, I have found a safe route. As long as there is a ship, it can be brought back to the Atrium Continent."
"Really, that's great!"
When many people heard the news, they all cheered excitedly. With this legendary navigator, the hope of returning to the mainland increased.
"If we take this news about Bolavis back to the mainland, do you think we will be granted the title of nobility?" one of them asked.
