Chapter 358: Isolated harbor

After a short winter, Ge Yin felt that his body was aging. Glancing at Joey beside him, he couldn't help shaking his head. Recently, he has gradually realized that there is a need for a young and powerful leader here, not his old age.
Now when he appeared in front of everyone, the power formed by holding power for many years would only bring depression. Moreover, the hard-won power is quickly dissipating.
Crowded in this small harbor, the sense of distance between people gradually disappeared. After losing the distance, without the support of the tall building, he is nothing more than a shriveled old man standing in front of young people.
People need inspiration, they need heroes in their hearts to support their fragile beliefs. And an old man is obviously not suitable to play as a hero.
The severe cold in winter has sealed everything, but it has missed people's hearts alone. Hiding in the relatively warm house, the idle people began to miss their hometown, friends, and most important relatives. The rest of this winter didn't make people refreshed, instead they became haggard.
After removing the thick winter clothes, people gradually regained their vitality while busy. In the new year, people decided to develop the surrounding mountains and forests and no longer crowded in the small harbor.
The consensus was hard to violate, Ge Yin also had to revise some of the raid plans, and at the same time secretly sighed that these people in front of him were a little aggressive.
Ge Yin hoped that Joey could stand up and help him through this difficult time. With his knowledge of Joey, he knew that this was a person who could take care of the overall situation. In addition, Joey has been living here for many years, always expecting scholars to spread their branches and leaves on this continent and become the most important branch of the City of Wisdom.
But Joey turned a deaf ear to the suggestion and just bowed his head to do his own thing.
Now that he has completely lost contact with the City of Wisdom, the only news was learned from two passers-by last year. They have not concealed their goals and opinions, and are not very optimistic about the situation in their hometown.
I don’t know if it’s mocking or complimenting, they said,
If it’s just to survive, this is indeed a good place to survive. A place full of rotten death, no one will attack here for no reason.

He remembered the words of the two when they left, "You escaped the danger, and also lost the opportunity."
The long winter gave Joey enough time to think about these things. He carefully read the information he asked for from Ge Yin, trying to find the truth from those ancient myths and prophecies.
After some searching, Joey found the answer in an unintentional conversation with Paul.
There is only one truth, this is just a group of cowards who escaped. They dare not join forces with those strong, dare not face threats from outside continents, they are a group of frightened cowards.
Scholars like Ge Yin followed Bran's thread and discovered something more terrifying. They had always been above the top and were frightened by the reality they suddenly discovered.
Joey asked Paul, "Aren't you afraid?"
"No matter whether you are afraid or not, you can't change anything. I'm just a little person who obeys orders. I didn't know that this was a battle to determine the fate of my hometown. Even if I knew it, I couldn't do anything. At that time, teacher Ge Yin still had a city of wisdom. Relying on, a word can determine my life and death. Unlike now, he who has lost the city of wisdom is just a little old man who is deteriorating.
Although he no longer has absolute authority, I can do nothing in the current situation. We are trapped here and can't go back again. If we meet those amphibious monsters in the vast ocean, we will not have any hope at all. I'm not very afraid of death, but I don't want to die in vain. "
The volatility of the human heart is fully manifested at this time, and there are many people with similar ideas. Some people understand their goals, and some just miss their hometown after being away from home for too long.
Joey didn't want to participate in this mess. He has always remained neutral, no matter who has any ideas, this is his home, and he must work hard to maintain order here.
Joey didn't bother to care about Ge Yin, the old man, his reputation could not affect those who followed Ge Yin later. Compared with those people, these instinctive residents are only a minority.
Because of the long-standing relationship, they have spacious houses and warm fireplaces, all of which have caused dissatisfaction with latecomers. Facing the long and difficult winter, the opposition caused by resentment has been somewhat out of control.
The status of these locals in the City of Wisdom is not high, and they are a little short of breath in the face of some companions who are used to being superior.
In this case, Ge Yin wanted to divert the conflict through rapid expansion, but Joey didn't want to accompany him on the risk. Unlike Ge Yin, he needs to consider the safety of his family and safeguard the interests of the locals. This is the basis for him to stand firm here.
In the silence of the two, the alarm bell on the watchtower rang. The port began to hustle and bustle, some people hid in the house, some people walked out.
Three large ships gradually appeared in the vision of the two of them. As they approached the port, the large ship lowered its mainsail, lowered its anchor and stopped. This makes the originally nervous people relieved.
Contrary to people’s imagination, no boat was put into the sea. Instead, someone flew over with their huge wings, and slowly landed on the dock accompanied by people's surprised eyes.
He said something to the crowd in unfamiliar language, and made a gesture like greeting. Here Joey stood up and gave a salute.
Hearing Joey's reply, the incoming man smiled on his face and said in jerky words: "Hello, where is this?"
