Time Travel: Age of Discovery

The warship could no longer sail and now looked like a giant platform standing on the sea. Teya thought that if it was slightly expanded, it could be used as a banquet venue at sea.

He stared at the fish marker floating on the sea and looked up at the clouds drifting in the sky. He did not feel that he was in another world, as if he was just traveling.

During his previous vacations, Teya always chose to stay home alone, not because he was lonely. Even when his classmates invited him out for a trip, he often declined. Teya didn't dislike noise, but he did resent the sight of large crowds. He could only recall rushing to art exhibitions with friends during the holidays. The few times he visited tourist attractions, he was always utterly overwhelmed by the crowds.

After my enthusiasm faded, I even stopped going to art exhibitions, preferring to stay home, enjoying the air conditioning and immersing myself in games. Now I think the lifestyle that makes me happy is the most suitable.

After traveling here, even though he had lost his computer, mobile phone and other entertainment, he still lived happily. Suddenly, the fishing rod in his hand sank. Teya came to his senses and quickly stood up and pulled hard.

Feeling a huge resistance, Teja was delighted. This was a sign of a big fish! The line swayed from side to side. He gripped the rod tightly and reeled it in with all his might. The force was far beyond his expectations.

At this moment, the cabin door quietly opened. "That's right, haha," two navy soldiers said cheerfully as they walked out and witnessed a shocking scene.

Teja leaned over the deck, his fishing rod bent impossibly tight, the line taut. He gritted his teeth and glanced at the soldiers, signaling them to come to his aid. They understood, one scurried forward to help while the other scurried back to the cabin.

A moment later, everyone rushed to help, battling the unknown creature like a tug-of-war. "This fish... it's huge!" "I don't know... maybe it's a sea monster!" Everyone put all their strength into the fight, and after nearly five minutes of stalemate, they finally broke the fishing line.

Teya fell backwards and saw the fishing line fall into the sea. In anger, he threw the fishing rod into the sea. Unexpectedly, a moment later, the wet fishing rod flew back to the deck. This scene surprised everyone.

Could there be something strange in the sea? Teya looked down at the surface and saw nothing unusual, but the bubbles rising from below aroused his suspicion, and he immediately signaled everyone to be on guard.

With a splash, a massive head emerged from the sea. It was undoubtedly a fish, with whiskers on top and a mouth full of sharp teeth. A broken line dangled from the corner of its mouth, clearly Teya's hook. It looked slightly confused, but didn't make a move. It stared at Teya with wide eyes, looking adorable.

"Sea beast?" Teya looked at the strange creature without fear, but the navy behind him was already a little apprehensive. At this moment, another person emerged from the sea. He had striking red skin and a scarf wrapped around his head. He turned his back to Teya and stared at the strange fish.

"Don't be angry, it's all right." The man turned and surveyed the warship, recognizing the naval markings. He remained silent for a moment. Seeing this, Teja stood up and signaled for everyone to calm down. Then, smiling at the man in the sea, he said, "Is that Brother Tiger?" It was Fisher Tiger. He also saw Teja and smiled brightly, but then he touched his head in surprise and said, "Are you Brother Carlos?" The two had never expected to meet again here.

On the deck, Tiger stood beside Teja, silent. Teja hadn't expected to encounter Tiger again in this way. He had once owed him something, and with the strained relationship between humans and the merfolk, Teja worried that Tiger might still be holding a grudge.

He then recounted the entire incident in detail. Tiger remained silent, but after listening to Teya's explanation, he chose to trust her. After all, as a world-traveling adventurer, he had seen a lot. Even if he had known Teya's navy background, Tiger would have become his friend.

"Ah, Carlo... Brother Teja, now that I have acknowledged you as my friend, I will not regret it. Although you are a marine, you are different from the people I have met."

Teya was relieved to receive Tiger's response. Honestly, while he knew Tiger well, his experience was vastly different from the rumors. One thing Tiger hadn't mentioned was that, upon returning to Fishman Island, he had actually encountered the three fish-man brothers that Teya had rescued in Shiyin Town. Though time had passed, judging by the description and the dark hair, it was undoubtedly Teya.

So Tiger seemed silent, but in fact he wanted to hear what Teya had to say. After all, this was also a kind of adventure between people, and Tiger was not disappointed.

"It's been many years since we last met on Sirolo Island. Alas, I should have thought that you were from the navy." "Haha, really?" The two of them had a pleasant conversation. As an adventurer, Tiger had naturally been to many places that Thea had never set foot in.

However, Tiger had to rush back to Fishman Island for business, so he didn't delay. The sea beast had only been his occasional rescue, and it had been with him ever since. "See you again, Carlos... Never mind. I'll just call you Brother Carlos."

Tiger stood atop the sea monster and waved goodbye to Teya, not knowing when they would meet again. Teya promised Tiger that they would visit Fishman Island when they got engaged and that they would have a drink and chat together.

Tiger left, and after a brief reunion, it was time to say goodbye. A sense of loss set in. "I hope we can meet again next time..." Teya whispered, but before she finished her words, she turned and walked into the cabin. "Hey! Save me some grilled fish!"
