NOVEL NEXT Chapter 551 The Unknown Call
At the gate of the castle, Verin held two letters of recommendation written by Lord Partridge, feeling a little dazed in his mind.
Recalling what Partridge said half an hour ago, "To be valued by an aloof guy like Gloria must be something special. I look forward to your future achievements."
As for Angus, he was holding a catalog of the Aylan Kingdom's floating fleet, looking at it with relish, and thinking in his mind about which items he must buy based on the magic crystals and elemental crystals he carried. Stuff can be purchased.
For this trade, Angus brought out almost all of the family's magic crystals and elemental crystals, worth about 15 billion gold coins, accounting for 30% of the family's wealth.
It can be said that the three space rings on his body store all the magic crystals and elemental crystals accumulated by the Akers family for more than 700 years, making him extremely rich.
Apart from him, not even his wife knew how many magic crystals and elemental crystals he carried.
"Here, father, take it first."
Angus took the recommendation letter and said with some confusion: "Why, you are not going to attend the Adrian Gala with me."
"No." Verin replied, "Father, I have other things to do, so I am not going to attend the Adrian Gala with you."
"I know, stay vigilant and don't be defrauded of money by others."
"I know that."
Afterwards, the three of them took a carriage and returned to Karida Manor.
The Adrian Gala will be held on January 9748, 1 in the Glorious Calendar, which is still more than half a month away.
During this period of time, Verin prepared to visit the Aylan Kingdom's floating fleet docked at the Angara Legion naval port in District 12.
As for Angus, he has no interest in this aspect. He holds the catalog all day long and makes plans based on the actual situation of the family.
Opportunities are rare. As the patriarch of the Akers family, sometimes you have to consider the future development of the family.
Since Verin chose to become a pioneer knight when he was eighteen years old, he has become a branch of the family. He only needs to take care of his direct descendants.
However, as the patriarch of the entire family, Angus not only needs to consider the development of the main line, but also take care of the development of the branch lines and make a detailed and comprehensive layout. Only in this way can the family flourish and the clan members be more cohesive and not scattered. .
Before heading to the Aylan Kingdom's floating fleet, Verin promised himself to follow Kyle to the lower city of Angara Port to find something that attracted Kyle in the dark.
Areas 1 to 6 of Angara Port are the lower city area. Most of the residents living here are half-orcs and humans. As for elves and half-elves, the number is very small, and they are basically troops stationed here.
As a port autonomous region, Xiacheng District has its highest administrative power in the hands of the autonomous assembly. The members of this council are mainly composed of influential local adventure group leaders, wealthy businessmen who control a large number of shop resources, and some suburban manor owners.
Standing on the wide avenue paved with stone slabs, Weilin looked around. The environment he saw was relatively neat and orderly, not as dirty as he imagined.
At this time, Kyle pointed to the overcrowded residential area with low-rise and dense houses in front of him, and suggested: "My lord, the target should be near this area, we might as well take a stroll."
Looking at the long, dark alley not far ahead, Weilin couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile and muttered softly: "That's all, let's experience the real living environment of the lower-class residents of Angara Port in person. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked straight towards the alley without hesitation.
It was noon at this time, the sun was extremely hot, but the residential area seemed particularly deserted.
The young men and women in most families have left their homes and gone to the busy docks to work as coolies unloading or loading goods; some have gone to the suburbs to become employees of various manor owners and help with farm work.
On the empty streets, only some old and frail women and young and ignorant children were left.
As Weilin walked, he was keenly aware of the various complex smells permeating the surrounding air.
He frowned slightly, but did not show too much disgust - after all, such an environment was not completely unbearable for him.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the effective management of local officials or the mandatory order issued by the Angara Port Governor that even in this ordinary residential area, the overall environment remains relatively clean and tidy, and is not as bad as imagined. So dirty and dirty.
After entering the long and narrow alley, the old people and children they met along the way consciously moved out of the way when they saw Weilin and Kyle. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them, as if they were afraid of accidentally provoking someone. What trouble.
The two walked aimlessly through the residential area. Weilin had forgotten where he was, but Kyle naturally knew the direction back.
Unconsciously, the two of them stopped in a deep alley.
Unknowingly, the two of them came to a quiet and deep alley. Looking at the scene in front of him, Weilin felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, as if he had experienced a similar scene in the capital of Duke Bogonghan.
"Lord, this should be here." Kyle stared at the deep alley in front of him, and the memory from the depths of his blood told him that there was a weapon waiting for him inside.
Seeing the excitement on Kyle's face, Verin couldn't help but feel doubtful. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "This time, I will go with you to see. If we can't get to the end, I will quit."
"Yes, my lord." Naturally, Kyle would not refuse his lord's request.
Although he hit the south wall once, Weilin firmly believed that it was just a coincidence.
This time, however, Verin let Kyle go ahead and he followed.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Weilin’s eyes were in a trance, and he realized that he had lost track of Kyle.
"never mind."
Weilin, who was always open-minded, quickly calmed down and turned back along the way he came. Not long after, he returned to the original alleyway safe and sound.
Looking back, it was as dark as ever. Even though it was noon, there was no sunlight shining into the alley.
……
Not knowing how much time had passed, Kyle turned around in confusion, only to find that his master was no longer behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.
He shook his head helplessly and murmured to himself: "According to the words of the Lord, he has no connection with this place."
Kyle tried hard to recover from his random thoughts, then took a deep breath, stepped forward again, and continued walking forward. Along the way, there was still endless darkness around him, but he did not stop moving forward.
Finally, after passing through this seemingly endless darkness, a huge stone door appeared in front of Kyle. Without hesitation, he reached out to push open the door and walked into the world behind it.
For a moment, the strong light stung Kyle's eyes. He closed his eyes subconsciously and slowly opened them after he got used to it. The sight before him shocked him - this was actually a strange space full of light power!
About a thousand meters away from Kyle, there was a skeleton that had turned into white bones lying quietly on the ground. On the head, chest and crotch of the skeleton, there were three sticks containing light power. of spear.
When Kyle stared at the spears, he suddenly felt the angel's heart in his chest begin to beat violently, and at the same time, the blood in his body also surged like boiling.
