Chapter 217 The Destiny Revealed
Akkad is a vicious pirate. When he was a pirate, he did a lot of evil things, including slaughtering civilians, forcing a whole boat of people to jump into the sea, and even framing his companions. Quite a lot.

After getting older, Akkad deeply felt that he could not continue to wander in the sea, so he tried to buy an identity with the money he saved in his early years.

He didn't want to live on land far away from the sea, but he was tired of the sea breeze. This kind of strange thought made him finally settle down in the small town.

In this small town, you will not be blown by the sea breeze, and you can also take a bullock cart to the pier to watch the ships coming and going.

On this day, Arkad walked on the edge of the town with his beloved binoculars as usual, intending to go there to watch the morning sunset.

That telescope was a lucky item for Akkad when he was a pirate, because once he was almost hit by a bullet during a robbery, and a man who was cut down by him actually pulled out a pistol and shot him. It was the bullet that eventually got stuck in the telescope that kept him alive.

After Akkad returned to the land, he repaired the telescope and used it as his own amulet. Even though he left the sea to retire in the small town, he did not discard this former amulet, but today this amulet has become the only one for him to reveal his identity. clue.

Mar was once a child of the Loen Kingdom who grew up in the colony of the southern continent. He had a relatively happy childhood when he was young. His father was a relatively famous ship repairman in the local area.

Although he often had to stay in the ship and couldn't go home, Marr never lacked food and clothing when he was a child. After all, if he couldn't treat ship repairers well, those who have been drifting on the sea all year round People are also afraid that one day they will experience a storm, and suddenly find that the cabin is leaking, and they will have to be buried in the sea.

In that way, no one will find anything at all, because in this era, it is very common for a cargo ship to disappear into the vast sea. It may be hijacked by pirates, or it may be that something happened on the cargo ship. The civil strife may also be a sacrifice caused by the storm, or it may even be a legendary event such as encountering a sea monster ghost ship.

For Marr, the happy childhood lasted until Marr was seven or eight years old. That day several pirate ships jointly attacked the colony of the Loen Kingdom. Marr remembered that his mother and father suddenly left their jobs and rushed back. At home, he took Mal and fled outside overnight.

It's a pity that they didn't run away after all. Mal and the others were overtaken by someone in the forest. Mal's father hid the horse in a tree hole. The tree hole was very narrow and could only hide a child like Mal.

From the hole in the tree, he watched the pirates catch up to his parents, hacking them to the ground with two blows.

The sound of begging for mercy finally turned into the sound of blood spraying on the leaves, and even a few drops of blood fell on Mal's forehead and flowed into his lips.

He remembered his parents' teachings without making any sound, he only remembered that the taste of blood in his lips was salty, and he remembered that one of the pirates who killed his father and mother had a telescope on his waist , Gunshots sounded, and the telescope deformed.

Then the enraged pirates chopped Mal's parents into countless pieces in front of Mal's face.

From then on, Mal became an orphan. After the official Loen rescue team arrived, he also followed the rescue team to live in other cities.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he boarded a ship and became an adventurer and a pirate hunter, but the one thing Mal wanted to do most was to find those pirates back then.

It's a pity that he got nothing for more than ten years. In the end, everyone's faces have been gradually forgotten with the passage of time, and they have become symbols one by one, even Mal's parents.

Sometimes he sits quietly by the window and thinks about his past, but he can't remember the faces of his parents. He only remembers two people with blurred faces, and one of them takes him to the beach to watch the morning sun every day.

The other would bring back some gifts for himself regularly, and he couldn't remember the appearance of those pirates. The only thing he remembered was the telescope studded with bullets, which might be the only clue.

In the ten years since he became a pirate hunter, Marr has searched for the telescope countless times, but every time he has failed. In the end, Marr is no longer young, without that impulsiveness and vigor. He was injured once when he was in his twenties. , plus he met a very gentle woman in Loen.

In the end, all this made him settle down. He seemed to have forgotten the past, or in order to completely separate from the past, he chose to stay away from all seaside cities.

But he couldn't really completely forget the past, so he lived in this small town for three or four years.

This day, Mal prepared breakfast in the house after getting up in the morning as usual. He loved his wife very much, so he would rather get up earlier every day and let her sleep for a while.

Then he would wait until around ten o'clock before going out to work in the tavern on the right side of the town.

After leaving the sea, he chose to become a bartender, and because there were usually no customers in the tavern in the morning or during the day, no one would mind even if Mal went a little later.

When I came to the tavern, I heard a crackling sound as soon as I entered. An apprentice broke a wine barrel, and now he was very at a loss.

Mal had a headache. He said, "For such an expensive wine, the price of shipping it back from the Southern Continent is almost sky-high. How dare you break it."

"I, sorry, I don't know, sir..." the apprentice stammered.

"Forget it, talk to the boss yourself later." Marr would not help this apprentice out of sympathy, even if the price of a barrel of wine was nothing to him, he had a lot of experiences when he was young deposits.

But sometimes, there are too many situations where good deeds are not rewarded.

And if this careless apprentice is not taught a lesson, he might become careless in the future.

Mal took out the cleaning tools and prepared to clean up.

At this time, a person walked in outside.

As usual, Akkad walked back from the edge of the town. Seeing the morning sun, he felt that he was still full of vitality. Passing by the tavern in the town, Akkad's originally strong steps suddenly felt heavy.

In order to separate himself from Akkad in the past, Akkad changed a series of unhealthy living habits in the past, such as drinking too much, going to bed late and getting up late, and even after living alone for so many years, he did not find another woman. Mate, it's all about hiding your identity.

However, Akkad actually has several illegitimate children in other places, so there is no need to talk about it in detail.The reason why Akkad couldn't move at this time was actually very simple, that is, he hadn't drank alcohol for so many years, and this time he suddenly passed by a tavern in the small town, but he smelled the aroma of wine coming from the tavern.

Akkad immediately smelled that this was a special wine from the Southern Continent. He didn't expect such a fine wine to exist in the small town. In the past, they seldom drank such wine once.

After hesitating for a while, he stepped into the tavern, and when he came in, he saw the bartender with the broom.

The eyes of the two people looked at each other for a moment, and after staring at each other for a while, the bartender suddenly asked: "Sorry sir, the tavern is not officially open yet, are you from out of town? Haven't seen you in years."

Akkad heard that his speech was a little slow and his voice was a little hoarse. He said slowly: "I'm not from other places, kid. I lived in a small town a long time ago, but I basically didn't know how to drink before. , I passed by the tavern this time and smelled the aroma of this wine and felt very curious, so I came in to have a look."

When Mal heard this, he also hurriedly said: "It turns out that this is the case, sir, this is normal. Many people have not met each other even if they are neighbors for several years because of work and life. There is a family near my house. I have never seen them, only the children of the other party, this may be the arrangement of the goddess!

So, do you want to buy some fine wines back home, sir?This is from South Dalu, even people who don't know how to drink can put it at home to entertain some guests. "

"Let me think about it. In fact, I came in this time to see if anyone needs any help." Arkad said.

"Then you are a moral gentleman."

The two exchanged a few words with each other. Arkad finally didn't buy any bottle of wine, turned and left the tavern with a gloomy expression.

Mal was behind, looking at Akkad's back, staring at the telescope inlaid with bullets on his waist, and said nothing for a long time. After Akkad disappeared completely, Mal found the apprentice who accidentally broke the wine barrel work.

He took some money and handed it to the apprentice, saying: "Only this time, because I remembered that I didn't put the wine barrel in place yesterday, so you will break it today. If you break any wine barrels or If you have other things, you can compensate yourself!"

"thanks, thanks!"

The apprentice apologized repeatedly. He was still having a headache because of this matter.

As for whether the wine barrel was properly placed, he actually remembered it clearly. It was definitely because his hand was not stable that it fell to the ground, but of course he couldn't say anything in this situation. .

"By the way, I'm going to ask for a day off. You can talk to the boss later." Mal said to the apprentice, then turned around and left the tavern.

After Akkad returned home, he immediately drew the curtains inside the house and sealed the door. He was very sure of that look, although it was calm, it contained some kind of hatred.

This is definitely an enemy he once had. Akkad only has two options now. The first is to leave the town directly and live in other places.

There are bullock carts going to and from the pier in the town every day. As long as he arrives at the pier, he can find a boat and leave the Kingdom of Loen immediately. No one can find him.

But this is not absolute. If the other party has been following him, he cannot take action during the day, but at night he can find a way to attack himself.

Then the second method is simple, that is to be ready to fight back directly. Akkad took out a pistol from his bedroom and under the bed and stroked it slowly. He has not touched a sword for many years. He is not sure. He still has some of the strength he once had, and he is indeed old now. Facing the bartender who is still in his prime, head-to-head confrontation is never a good thing. After thinking for a while, Akkad made a decision.

night.

Mal was holding a pistol, which was the weapon he was most familiar with when he was a pirate hunter at sea. His father used a pistol to fight back against pirates.

During the day, he kept staring at Akkad's residence, and he even found an acquaintance to watch the intersection leaving the town, and the other party had no chance to get out of here.

Now he decided to take revenge on him directly.

In fact, the best way is to directly report to the town that Akkad was once a vicious pirate, but Mal hesitated for a while and gave up this opportunity because he had no evidence in his hand, and Akkad's identification information was comprehensive.

The most important point is that Marr really wants to avenge himself.

Quietly approaching the house where Akkad lived, Mal didn't hear any sound or see any lights in the house. He had some indescribable feelings in his heart, and he didn't know whether it was anxiety or excitement.

He opened the window of Akkad's house with a wire, which was a technique he had learned as a bounty hunter. It is usually difficult to use violence to capture those pirates. It is best to approach quietly and sneak attack. Windows are always more unexpected than doors.

Mal walked into Akkad's house, and there was no light in the house. Did he go to bed early or did the other party just leave?

Mal held his pistol and searched bit by bit. In the end, he didn't see anyone in the house. He only found a telescope in the living room, a telescope studded with bullets.

The other party left, left the house, left the town, and left his past.

Mal took the binoculars, walked out of the house through the main entrance, and walked towards the pier.

To leave the small town, the fastest way to leave the country is to go to the pier. Of course, there are other ways to leave, but there are not many people on those roads. If Akkad wants to go from these places, he will definitely be found. There may have been opportunities to find each other in the past.

Mal didn't notice that when he walked out of the house, a pistol was aimed at him from behind.

When he did not go home, but continued to chase in the direction of the pier, the pistol fired directly.

The gunshots alarmed the entire town, and Mal fell to the ground in response.

When the sheriff of the small town came here, Akkad came out from the darkness, and he accused full of justice: "This is a thief or a robber. I came back from my friend's house today, and I just saw him coming from my house." He came out of the house with a gun in his hand, and to ensure my safety, I had to shoot back."
