From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 227 Goatee Old Man 【4K】

There is a flash of reminiscence in Sterling's eyes. This is a story from a thousand years ago, about a group of exiles working hard to continue the family.

It turned out that the Edward family suffered heavy losses in a battle with the devil, and its main family, the Ness family, made an exception and approved the Edward family's request to spread seeds outside.

Before that, almost no one came out of the barren land, and they were the first batch to return to this world.

As a result, a group of elites from the Edward family came to the ruling area of ​​the Dawn Empire at that time through a special method. As exiles, they presented a magical [Space Orb] to the then emperor.

The emperor was very happy, inlaid the orb on his crown, and gave the Edward family a place to live. Later, the Edward family continued and became one of the eastern countries of mankind.

Meilan was of the orthodox royal blood of the Edward family, and was the eldest daughter of His Majesty the King at that time. However, not long after he was born, a minister launched a military rebellion.

He bloodbathed the Edward family, leaving only one prince who was still in his infancy. He proclaimed himself the regent, appointed the young prince as king, and took the emperor as his vassal.

Mei Lan was rescued by a nobleman who was loyal to the king and brought up, but the good times didn't last long, and the nobleman's family was divided.

In the chaos, Mei Lan's adoptive father was killed, and she lived a life of wandering. However, her magical talent is amazing. In just over twenty years, she reached the stage of a great magician. bit.

Moreover, because of the pure blood of the Edward family in her body, when the Dawn Empire collapsed, the [Space Orb] that the ancestors of the Edward family took from the emperor's crown was also controlled by her.

This legendary extraordinary treasure is second only to the divine weapon in terms of power. Holding it can not only travel through space at any time, but also greatly enhance the strength of the magician's spellcasting.

Relying on this treasure, Mei Lan can display the power of an epic magician in a short period of time.

However, such strength is still not enough for his enemy, because he is a legendary magician known as the strongest in the kingdom of Shano for thousands of years.

Therefore, in order to enhance her own strength, Mei Lan began to wander away from the mainland and go into various dangerous situations. By chance, she got news about the ruins of the Warcraft Mountains from an orc shaman.

That is Research Institute No. 52, which is the place where Ryan and Mei Lan first contacted.

After the story was finished, Ryan finally understood why Mei Lan took the risk to snatch the evil artifact, and also understood why he signed a contract with him to produce weapons that could threaten legendary powerhouses.

Everything is for the deep hatred of blood on her body.

"I didn't expect that the iceberg had such a past, but how did you know this? I don't believe she would take the initiative to say it." Ryan said with emotion.

Sterling smiled and said, "Of course, she is a stubborn and vigilant girl.

In fact, when I first saw her in the castle, I already knew her identity. You may not have a very obvious feeling, but the human race in the wasteland is very different from the people outside.

This is reflected in the level of life. In the barren land, everyone is a transcendent. Even if they come to this continent to intermarry with the locals, the chance of giving birth to a transcendent is still very high.

It's just that with the dilution of the blood, the effect will become weaker and weaker. Your blood is inherited from your grandfather, and to the generation of your brother and sister, the blood is actually relatively thin.

You are not bad, your sister is thinner, so she did not inherit the knight blood of the Black family.

Back to the topic, the Edward family maintains a tradition of inbreeding, so the blood of the royal family members has always been relatively pure. The first time I saw her, I felt the breath of "similarity".

It's just that I wasn't sure about her identity and purpose at the beginning. It wasn't until I felt the breath of [Space Orb] and looked up some ancient books that I realized that Mei Lan was from the Edward family.

Although their tribe has been separated from the barren land for thousands of years, they have always maintained contact with the clan, and the channel of communication has always been in the hands of the king.

Just when your grandfather was about to leave, the Edward family lost contact. At that time, the patriarch of the Edward family asked your grandfather to help him find out the news.

You may not know that the Edward family and the Black family have been family friends for tens of thousands of years in the barren land, so I know these things relatively clearly.

I have been observing her secretly, until yesterday, I had a formal and frank talk with her, and she told me the information just now after gaining her trust.

Believe me, she is your trustworthy companion, just like how the ancestors of your two families fought side by side on the battlefield countless years ago. If there is a chance in the future, I may take her back to the ancestral land to see. "

It suddenly dawned on Ryan, it turned out that they were talking about this for so long yesterday, but in this way, Mei Lan is indeed more reliable than ordinary people, after all, it has been exclusively certified by Sterling.

"Also, I think the combination of the two of you is the most suitable. When you combine, the child must be born extraordinary." Sterling said with a sudden smile.

"Ah? Cough cough cough..." Ryan, who was drinking from a cup, was almost frightened to death by the sip of water. When he thought of Mei Lan's iceberg-like face, he couldn't help shivering. I can't think about marrying such an ice bump, he still likes to be gentle and kind.

Thinking of this, the image of Aisha involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"Hahaha, just kidding, I saw you were scared." Sterling was amused by Ryan.

Ryan cleared his throat, looked at Sterling with resentment and said, "This kind of joke is not funny, teacher."

"Okay, okay, you're busy, I'm going to practice." Sterling waved his hand and left with a smile on his face.

"It turns out that you are really from the Black family. I thought it was just the same surname." Xiao Hei's voice suddenly sounded in Ryan's mind, and the voice was full of... Excitement?
"Why, could it be that you also came from there?"

"Hey, you suddenly became smarter, but I must have come out earlier than you imagined. At that time, your Black family was still headed by a woman." Xiao Hei said triumphantly.

Ryan's heart moved. He knew that the soul-eating worm had an unusual origin, but he didn't expect that it also came out of the barren land. This guy has a lot of secrets.

"Then do you know where the Badlands are?"

"What do you want?" Xiao Hei's tone suddenly became vigilant.

"My roots are there anyway, but I have never really seen what it looks like, just curious."

"It turned out to be like this, but... I also forgot where it was. You know, I have lived for a long time, and such unimportant things have long been forgotten." Xiao Hei said with a guilty conscience.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Ryan was speechless immediately, even if he refused you, he should find a better reason.

"Well, anyway, if you say you don't know, you don't know." Xiao Hei replied very stiffly, and then there was no movement.

------

During the time when Ryan and Xiao Hei were arguing, the gears of Gray Moth's fate quietly started to turn.

He has been imprisoned since he was caught for theft last time. He was dizzy from the learning tasks arranged by Xiu Lun. He went out to attend the observation meeting yesterday. He originally thought that this painful day was over.

Who knew, just after the end, he was kicked back again, and continued to suffer from Xiu Lun's torture.

Today is a rare rest day, so Gray Moth plans to take a good night's sleep to make up for his damaged body.

As soon as his head touched the pillow, Gray Moth fell asleep. What he didn't know was that the moment he fell asleep, the bell hidden in his arms also emitted a hazy black light...

"Huh? Where is this?" Gray Moth opened his eyes and found himself in a strange space. Although he didn't know where it was, he was sure that this was definitely not his cell.

"This is messing around. Hey, is there anyone who can breathe, tell me where this is? Ryan has changed again?"

Gray Moth roared to the surroundings, but the space seemed to be small, as the words echoed back as soon as they were spoken.

"Hey, young man, stop shouting, it's useless." A voice suddenly appeared behind Gray Moth, startling him a lot.

He turned around suddenly, and found that it was a thin old man with a goatee.

Gray Moth became angry at that time, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is it you again, the young master said that he doesn't want to be your troublesome walk, are you annoying, don't force me to slap you."

The old man looked at Gray Moth's flashing fist, smiled indifferently and said, "Okay then, let me ask you, what is your dream?"

Gray Moth didn't seem to find anything wrong, followed his question, and answered confidently: "Of course my dream is to become the number one thief in the world. I heard that someone once successfully stole a country's treasure house. In the future It must be stronger than him, I want to steal an artifact."

The old man with the goatee smiled mysteriously when he heard the words, and said persuasively: "This is your dream? Whether it's a treasure house or a divine weapon, they are all tangible. Is this considered a skill?"

Gray Moth suddenly became dissatisfied, sat down on the ground, crossed his legs and said, "Do you want to listen to what you are talking about, the thief must have a shape, or the man will steal the air?"

"Who said that the theft of tangible items can only be said to be meticulous and low-level. A real thief can steal intangible treasures." The old man was not angry and said with a smile.

"Don't be kidding, what baby can be invisible?" Gray Moth didn't believe it at all, and wanted to send the old man away with a wave of his hand.

"Of course, if you become my walker, you can travel through other people's dreams at will. In the dream, you can do whatever you want, anything.

Moreover, you can also learn the secrets that only exist in his mind, the real thief can steal other people's memories. "The old man with the goatee continued to lure Gray Moth with words.

Gray Moth's consciousness gradually became a little chaotic, he simply lay down on the ground, half asleep and said: "That's all right, the young master reluctantly agrees, if you dare to lie to me, I will definitely slap you."

After finishing speaking, the gray moth lying on the ground fell asleep. The old man with the goatee grinned and flicked his fingers at the gray moth, and a dark chain of order sank into his body.

"Hey ha ha ha... I'm walking too, I'm walking too!" The old man who was originally normal suddenly became crazy after doing all this, and he was still making some strange noises while dancing. It looked like he had just escaped from some mental hospital.

After a burst of madness, the old man's body gradually faded, and then disappeared...

In the prison cell, Gray Moth was sleeping soundly, scratching his foot with one hand, and was still mumbling non-stop. Did he dream that he was eating pig's trotters?

After a long time, he didn't wake up until a huge mouse crawled across his face.

Stretching lazily, Gray Moth woke up sleepily, and looked out the window, the sun had already passed the middle.

"Why did I sleep for so long, and no one asked me to have lunch." Gray Moth muttered dissatisfiedly, but lay down on the simple wooden bed the next moment, ready to sleep again.

But before falling asleep, he frowned and sat up again, feeling something tight in his chest.

Looking down, his chest had indeed become swollen a lot, Gray Moth was startled suddenly, could it be that he has become a woman?
He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately stretched his hand in and fumbled for a while, but he didn't touch the imaginary thing, but he touched a hard thing.

Gray Moth took that thing out, and at a glance, it turned out to be a strangely shaped pitch-black mask.

"What is this? Why is it in my arms? Where is my original bell?" Gray Moth was greatly surprised. The bell in his arms disappeared, but there was another mask for no reason.

"Damn, is it because I haven't woken up? It's going to be sunny, so I just use this to cover my eyes."

This mask is a bit strange, there are no holes in the position of the eyes, I really wonder how the person wearing it sees things, but this is good news for Gray Moth, it can be regarded as a blindfold.

He lay down on the bed behind him, and put the mask on his face casually. Soon, there was another loud snoring sound in the empty cell.

Gray Moth, who was sleeping soundly, didn't notice at all that the mask on his face was slowly wriggling, and after a while, the mask that was originally a bit too big actually covered his face tightly.

No one noticed such a weird scene. In the eyes of the jailer, Gray Moth's face just became a little more blurred.

In the eyes of the mice with poor eyesight, the face was even more blurred, leaving only a silhouette.

Gray Moth had another dream, this time it was not the old man with the goatee, but another person. He had the impression in his mind that this was the prisoner in the cell next to his own, who snored louder than him.

"This...what the hell is going on?"
