When he was young, Angni liked to travel around. When he returned one time, he found that his family had been destroyed by the enemies he had provoked during his travels.
It was a group of pirates who destroyed the Angni family.
Well, actually, in the past, Angeni dreamed of being a sailor and had no intention of becoming a traveling merchant.
When I was young, I mostly traveled by boat. I often took a boat to explore other islands or countries, and also did some small business.
As for how the pirates were provoked, the letter did not mention it, it only described the result. And Leiter was not curious about the reason for the provocation.
It was only from then on that Angni began to flee inland, and according to the hint in the suicide note, he found the family treasure, used it as initial capital, and became a traveling merchant.
"Tsk tsk, a dog will always eat shit, maybe this kind of person is what they mean?" Rhett smiled helplessly. This Angni acted too presumptuous and brought disaster to his family. Now, for the same reason, he has ruined his own life.
"By the way, where is the shell mentioned in the letter?" Rhett suddenly remembered the ancestral relic mentioned in the suicide note of Angnie's father - a magical shell.
But why didn't he have any impression just now?
Rhett rummaged through several linen bags and searched carefully among the miscellaneous items on the ground, but still could not find any trace of the shell.
"That's strange, where did it go?" Rhett scratched his head. He was curious about the origin of the shells described in the letter.
A gift from the fishman under the sea? Lei Te had also heard this fairy tale when he was a child.
It is said that there is another world in the deep sea, where two strange creatures live: fish-men and mermaids.
Angni's family made a living by fishing a long time ago. An ancestor more than ten generations ago was casting a net to fish on the beach one day and rescued a seriously injured fisherman.
After the fishman woke up, he claimed that he was the prince of the fishman kingdom. In order to thank the fishman for saving his life, he gave the fishman a shell with magical powers.
However, the letter did not mention anything about the magical powers of shells, and Rhett felt that it was most likely made up.
Moreover, there was no trace of the subsequent story about the fishmen in the letter. In addition, Leiter had never seen or heard of the appearance of these two creatures in the historical records of the Kingdom of Jinlun, and he always regarded them as a man-made fantasy story.
Therefore, Rhett became even more skeptical about the authenticity of the origin of the shells.
"Huh? Here!" Rhett's eyes suddenly lit up and he discovered the colorful shells at the base of the wall at the far side of the fireplace.
Walking over to pick it up, Lei Te's eyes flashed with surprise. Why did the shell come to this place? He turned his head and saw that there was a distance of about ten meters between here and the area where the linen bags were piled.
Could it be that he accidentally kicked the shell and sent it here? It couldn't be that the shell grew legs and ran here.
He frowned. There were so many things in a mess just now, and he had indeed touched a lot of things while walking.
He looked at the colorful shells carefully; they were surprisingly new, without any trace of time.
There was a flash of disappointment in Rhett's eyes, and he completely lost all hope. It seemed to be just an ordinary shell.
There was no elemental fluctuation or sense of fighting spirit from it. Rhett shook his head and placed it on the table in the room.
The colorful appearance makes it a good decoration. At least in the deep inland area like the southwest border, seashells are rarely seen.
After dealing with these chores, Rhett looked at the panel in his mind. The poor [Fate Value: 7] was hanging at the bottom of the light curtain. Dealing with the traveling merchant cost him 8 points of fate.
The remaining 7 points were only enough for one [Text Simulation] and two [Real Simulations], which gave Rhett a sense of crisis.
He picked up the blueberry juice and put it to his lips, his eyes full of surprise, "Huh? It's a little warm now, but it was still cold when it was served to me."
Rhett turned his head and looked out the window. The dead trees on both sides of the graystone avenue were supporting tender buds, and migratory birds could be vaguely seen flying high in the sky, chirping.
As Leiter's mind moved, a wisp of cold air floated into the crystal cup, and the temperature of his palms became cold again.
That night, Rhett called everyone to the lobby on the fifth floor and held a brief family meeting.
The next day, taking advantage of the dim light of early morning, the group set out on their journey.
"Father, look at the muscles in my arms. Are they bigger than a week ago?" Taylors was wearing a thin, light-colored windbreaker today. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms.
He had a show-off look on his face, but he was startled when he saw Tucker approaching him, his two big eyes were like copper bells, “Tucker, what are you doing?”
"Let me check for you." Tucker chuckled, stretched out his hand and pinched Taylor's biceps, nodding and touching his chin, "Well, not bad, the progress in a week is quite obvious, my role as a sparring partner is not in vain!"
Leiter, who was sitting on the back of the gray grid, smiled slightly, "Thales, if you were asked to choose, would you rather be a knight or a magician?"
Thales pushed back his sleeves and said without hesitation, "Of course it's the magician! Only magicians are qualified to glimpse the truth of alchemy. The knight can only choose to be a blacksmith and sit in front of a hot furnace all day long."
"Huh? Don't look down on the knights!" Tucker glared, gently pressed Taylor's head, and ruffled his hair, "Don't forget that the famous artifacts in history were all forged by blacksmiths.
No matter how strong the magician is, does he have the strength? He might not even be able to swing the hammer! "
"Huh! Alchemy is more interesting than forging anyway!" Thales took Tucker's hand away and shook his head nonchalantly.
Tucker was open-minded and didn't bother with Taylor. Compared to this trivial bickering, due to Hager's pregnancy, he could only ride an ordinary gray horse on this trip, which he was not used to at all.
After four days of exhaustion, we looked at the towering peaks and the endless mountain ranges, which were dressed in a colorful coat of lush plants.
Rhett knew that the destination of this trip, the Dark Eagle Branch, had arrived.
He had a large linen bag hanging around his waist, but it was empty except for a few solid pieces hanging at the bottom.
These are the magic crystals obtained from killing the magical beasts encountered on the way here.
As he let nature take its course, the situation turned out to be exactly the same as in the simulation. A fire lion, a flaming rhino, and two wind wolves were all severely injured by him effortlessly, and then he controlled them and handed them over to Thales to deal with personally.
At this time, Thales had many monster lives on his hands. When faced with Rhett's order to kill the monsters with his own hands, he already had a good psychological quality and went ahead without fear.
"We're finally here, the Dark Eagle branch!" Ruilai raised his head and looked at the peaks ahead.
"Father, should we only move around the periphery?" Ruilai looked at his father. "I heard that there are often third-level monsters in the depths, and there are even fourth-level dark-patterned eagles that rule here!"
"Well, there should be a fourth-level dark-patterned eagle in the depths." Rhett narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes seemed to pass through the gaps in the mountains and jungles, looking into the deepest part.
He speculated that perhaps the current beast tide was influenced by the Dark-Striped Eagle.
The fourth-level monsters can be called mid-level monsters. Compared with low-level monsters, their intelligence is also a level higher. It is not difficult to influence a wave of low-level monsters! Thanks to the book friend 20170214115324722 for the reward of 500 starting coins.
