"You say, even if I go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, I won't blink an eye!" When such an honest guy said this, no one would doubt his sincerity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"When you open a chain store in a city other than Cherbourg, if you meet those homeless children, you can send them to the sailors' estate in Cherbourg, of course, you have to be innocent, and war orphans are preferred." Murong Tao's request was not very difficult for Fat Willy, these businessmen had their own intelligence networks, and they could also entrust organizations like the Treehouse Tavern, but he didn't understand why Murong Tao suddenly became interested in these orphans.

"You don't need to have a psychological burden, I won't treat these orphans as slaves, I can't do this kind of thing!" Murong Tao's words dispelled the last trace of worry in Fat Willy's heart, patted his chest heartily, and took over this little favor that was not easy but also not too difficult.

Sending off the confident Fat Willie, Bayard walked to the kitchen again, knowing that he would not be able to make any use in the following conversation, and that it would be better to study some more dishes on his home turf.

"Grandpa, there are some things I've wanted to ask you for a long time." Murong Tao sat across from Captain Franks, "I know that everyone has secrets of one kind or another, or some troubles that they don't want to share with others, but we are now our own people, relatives, can you tell me?" ”

"I know you're going to ask me sooner or later, so I'm ready." Captain Franks bit his pipe and smiled bitterly, "Do you want to ask me about my wife and children?" I can tell you unequivocally that there have been two marriages, both of which were not happy, and the first marriage has no heirs, and that woman may have forgotten who I am. As for the second marriage, it was the daughter of a nobleman from a small country, and we fell in love at a ball, and it was a beautiful woman, at least that's what I thought. ”

Murong Tao just sat there and listened quietly, as long as Franks was willing to share it with him, then he would explain it himself.

"I stayed in that place for a long time, and when I left, she was three months pregnant." Captain Franks took two puffs of his cigarette and his voice became a little choked, "By the time I returned with a full load, I wanted to share my wealth with her, and the property I had purchased had changed to a different family, and the family told me that the woman who lived here had sold it to them with a child in tow, who looked a little thin and the child who also looked malnourished. ”

"Didn't you go to them?" Murong Tao heard that the captain's grandfather had at least one wife and one heir, but it seemed that the situation of both of them was not very good, but as long as he looked around, a woman who had just sold a property and owned a huge amount of money with a child should attract the attention of others.

"How could you not have looked for it? I went crazy and searched the whole city, but to no avail, I even went to the manor where my wife's maiden family was, but..."Captain Franks was too excited, choked on the smoke, coughed vigorously, Murong Tao stood up and walked over and slapped it a few times, before he waved his hand and continued, "But it has become a ruin, and it is said that the fire came very suddenly, but overnight, the entire manor was engulfed in flames. ”

"Could it be that the enemy came to the door?" Murong Tao secretly said in his heart, how is this so similar to the Noah family extermination case mentioned by Luther?

"I thought it was the enemy who came to kill him, but the official in charge of the case only got very little information, but he only knew that someone from the family had gone out before and never returned, and as for the whereabouts of my wife and children, he was not very clear." Captain Franks was in such pain, apparently there was something else left unsaid, "But... But he revealed something to me privately, and according to him, it was obvious that there was a child's body found inside the charred corpses. ”

At this point, Captain Franks couldn't stop crying, and anyone who lost two direct blood relatives would be heartbroken, let alone his wife and children!

"Grandpa, that doesn't mean that your wife and children are buried in a sea of fire!" Murong Tao said with relief, "Maybe there is this possibility, they were lucky to escape the catastrophe, and in order not to be chased and killed by the enemy, they went incognito, so you can't find them!" ”

"Is this possible?" Captain Franks laughed to himself, "Although I have gained some in business, I don't think I have been very lucky, otherwise I wouldn't have had to work in this dangerous job of maritime trade, and if I had been by her side, maybe it wouldn't have been like this?" ”

After decades of paranoia, Murong Tao felt that it was not possible to persuade success in a few words.

"So, why don't you tell me your wife's maiden name, and when I go to sea, I can secretly help find it, maybe my luck is a little better, maybe I can find it at once?" Murong Tao said this obviously to comfort Captain Francs, and similarly, the old captain also knew what Murong Tao meant, so he didn't directly refuse, but when he said that surname, Murong Tao was stunned, that's right, the surname of the family that Captain Franks said was the Noah family.

The Noah family that was destroyed by Captain Luthor and the others.

Murong Tao seems that this Noah family is now implicated by more and more people, originally he just thought that this family was great and got a peerless treasure like the Star of Saint Noah, the so-called puff is not guilty, and the truth of being guilty will be uprooted, but now it seems that it is far from being that simple.

Captain Franks is just an ordinary old man in Murong Tao's eyes, at most he met him by chance, got acquainted, and got to know each other, but who could have known that this was the two people who had been linked together in the dark, and it was actually the Star of Saint Noah.

"What's wrong?" Captain Franks wondered why Murong Tao's face became so ugly after hearing about the Noah family, as if he had heard some terrible news.

"Actually, it's not the first time I've heard of this family." Murong Tao didn't intend to disclose the secret of the Star of Saint Noah on himself, but he could use the news he heard from Captain Luthor to test the truth of Captain Francs's words, not because of a Noah family who suspected that the old captain was close to his own purpose, speaking of which, he had always appeared in other people's field of vision inexplicably, if it weren't for others, he might have drowned, right?

Now it was Captain Franks' turn to be stunned, "You... What do you mean? ”

"Just a few days ago, I went to the prison of the Doge's Palace, and heard some rumors about this family from Captain Luther's mouth." Murong Tao concealed it a little, concealing the conversation between Luthor and himself, but only telling Captain Luthor and others about the destruction of the Noah family.

"Luther, it's him!" Captain Franks clenched his fists with both hands, his nails were already embedded in the flesh, you can imagine how angry the old captain is now, I'm afraid that if Luthor wasn't now imprisoned in the high-security Governor's Palace prison, he might have rushed over and killed him, right?

At least Murong Tao was sure that Captain Franks didn't show an exaggerated expression when he heard that he mentioned the Star of Saint Noah, and it was obvious that his hatred for Luthor was unfake.

"However, even if the Noah family is a small country nobleman, but because their family has a... People exist, and there should be no one who will not open their eyes to provoke such a family. Captain Franks muttered, his voice was very soft, as if he didn't want Murong Tao to hear it, but Murong Tao had long learned from Captain Luthor that the person who was deliberately hidden was the only saint-level powerhouse in the Noah family, but Captain Franks was reluctant to mention it, so Murong Tao naturally wouldn't talk about it.

"I know there are things I shouldn't hide from you, and perhaps you've heard something incredible from Luthor's dying man." Captain Franks sat down softly, his pipe already on one side, his head in his hands showing a hint of pain, and then he raised his head and asked solemnly, "Son, do you believe that there is magic in this world?" ”

Magic?! If Murong Tao was an ordinary person, he might have laughed out loud after hearing it, and laughed at Captain Franks' brain. It's a pity that although Murong Tao himself doesn't know how to use magic, and he doesn't know the so-called magician, he once occasionally heard the master say that in this world, there are a group of mysterious people, and they will have many skills that sound unbelievable to people now, and magic can only be regarded as a mutation caused by the genetic mutation of the most unpopular Western anomalous people.

Including his own master, although he is only a prefecture-level martial artist, he can also show qigong methods similar to magic, the kind of qigong that can fight cattle across the mountains at any time, which is also an unlikely fact for most ordinary people. In the words of the master, the earth-level martial artists were still far from the heavenly pole martial artists, not to mention those who had already transcended the heavenly extreme.

"You are really not an ordinary person, I don't know why, when I first saw you, I felt that you were different from others." A smile flashed on Captain Franks' face, I don't know what he was laughing for, but he quickly returned to his original state, "The reason why the Noah family has existed for so long before being destroyed by the joint efforts is because they take care of that mysterious saint-level master, I once happened to see fireballs randomly appearing in the palm of his hand, used to light the fire of the barbecue grill, and those firewood were wet by the rain the day before, everyone knows that the damp wood is not easy to ignite." ”
