【Wanghai Expedition Road Bosang】

In the depths of Wanghai, if the Bosang Empire is compared to a big tree, then its city is like the branches of a big tree, these branches surround the main trunk of the tree, forming a barrier, and in the main trunk of the tree, the top bud that extends towards the high point is the royal symbol of the commanding height.

Ace doesn't like to listen to the Viscount's gossip, since leaving Ike, they have gone straight to a big city close to the palace, the fish-people here are basically nobles, even if they don't have titles, they are high-level fish-men, this society is close to the human society, they use a language that humans can understand, wear gorgeous clothes, come and go, and be polite to each other.

"I have to say that this place is indeed a resort, if it weren't for those enemies, there might have been a lot of communication with the Noah people here." Ace thought to himself, he could feel that there were several very powerful forces here, maybe the people he was looking for, although these people had great strength, but the innate deficiencies of the fishmen made it impossible for them to pose a threat to the apostles no matter what.

The magic of the fish-people requires the help of water, however, as energy bodies, the apostles will not be harmed by anything material, and in the fish-people, there is no way to limit the existence of souls.

"My lord, the Duke we are going to see is a great man, he has unimaginable magic and power, his garden can be compared to the back garden of the palace, his wealth is enough to make everyone's eyes blush, you look at the magnificent mansion, how tempting." The viscount's praise to the duke made Ace smile, the fish-man duke, no matter how powerful he is, can he be stronger than his duke.

"In this way, I really like to understand that he is powerful, who knows, can he be my opponent, hehe." With that, Ace and the others walked towards the magnificent mansion, and he could see that in the mansion, countless brilliant treasures were shining, and in the depths of the mansion, there was a man who was quite powerful, if nothing else, it should be the duke.

On the other side, Ike was still surprised by what the old fishman said to him, he couldn't understand what the old fishman meant, if the two had never met, then why did he stop him, but, just by feeling, how could he conclude that he was the descendant of that person.

"Old gentleman...... This...... I don't understand what you're saying. Ike stammered, he should have been surprised, and the old fishman slowly came out of the bar and sat down beside him, taking in his appearance.

"There should be nothing wrong, except for that family, there will be no other family with such pure blue eyes, young man, if you don't know, let me tell you, you are a descendant of the Clofadi family of the Marginal Sea, you will definitely not be wrong." The old fishman's affirmative tone made Ike a little incredulous.

"I ...... I've never been to the Rim Sea, and besides, I'm from the city-state of Kuyman in the Crescent Empire, and ......" Before Ike could finish speaking, the old fishman's words surprised him again:

"Do you have a necklace in the shape of a coiled dragon?"

Ike was stunned, he didn't know why the old fishman knew this, he didn't know why he happened to be here, could it be Ace's arrangement, impossible, how could he arrange it so carefully, obviously he was with him before he left himself.

"I'll tell you, if you hadn't grown up in your family, you wouldn't have known about it." The old fishman thought for a moment and took out a necklace that was exactly the same as Ike's: "Young man, you should know this thing." ”

Ike touched his neck, took out his necklace, and after taking the necklace in the old fishman's hand, he compared it carefully, and it was exactly the same.

"It's ...... How did you get this necklace? Ike was a little excited, he probably didn't notice that his hands were shaking.

"Twelve years ago, the Pro-Earth faction invited a great man from the earth to Bo Sang for an exchange, and later, in the Clofadi family, the eldest son of the youngest and most senior patriarch, came here, and it was I who entertained him, and we made a deep friendship, and I helped him to obtain the highest privilege of mankind in Bo Sang, the mermaid royal medal. This can be regarded as a duke-level treatment. The old fishman said as he looked at Ike, who was a little excited, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Then, in return, he gave me this necklace, and if I go to Teague in the Rim Sea, he can give me the highest level of enjoyment in the earthly world, we can drink together, we can enjoy the dance of those beautiful girls together, but, alas." The old fishman sighed and looked at Ike, and when they looked at each other, he slowly asked Ike:

"Do you think that your father, a nobleman, could have been an insidious murderous robber?"

"Of course not!" Ike almost blurted out, and then, he was silent for a moment: "Even though I haven't met him, I still won't believe it!" ”

"Like you, I don't believe that such a nobleman would do such a thing. However, the events of more than ten years ago were very surprising, originally, his itinerary should have been very stable and peaceful, but in the days when he was about to leave, a duke, well, it should be said that the duke of the enemy faction, died inexplicably, and a treasure map kept by that duke also disappeared. And at this time, your father, he is in a hurry to return to the earthly society. The old fishman's tone became low.

"Why ......" Ike's voice was lower than his, "Could it be that he really did it?" ”

"No, I don't believe he did it, but the people of the Haters asked to search his residence, and the result was ......" The old fishman paused: "I don't need to say it, you also know, the treasure map is in his residence." ”

"He was framed! I'm sure he must have been framed. Ike was a little anxious: "You must know that, right?" Looking at Ike so excitedly, he gently placed his hand on Ike's shoulder.

"Kid, I know, of course I know, of course I will defend my friend's interests, but when the Haters wanted him to assist in the investigation for a few more days, he and the Haters did ......"

The old fishman's words were like a bolt from the blue, blowing up on Ike's head, and the old fishman's words meant that whether he stole the treasure map or not, once he did it, he would definitely not have any say.

"Not only that, but he killed two viscounts, an earl, and severely injured a duke of the Haters, so to speak, the Enemies were broken by this, and in the end, he fled, and, in the panic, the treasure map disappeared." The old fishman's statement made Ike feel completely reasonable, and he calmed down and let out a slow breath.

"That'...... What the hell happened to him. ”

"He disappeared, but, it's not over yet, the enemy faction used this as an excuse to start cracking down on the pro-local faction, even the emperor who was pro-local was hit by many dukes, in an instant, the number of the enemy faction was increasing, and, because of this chaos, as a pro-local faction, we were suppressed, one duke was forced to commit suicide, and the other duke was abolished all the duke's rights and reduced to a commoner." When the old fishman said this, a gloomy face came to his face.

"Mo Fei, you are ......" Ike finally realized, the fishman in front of him was not an ordinary fishman, he was once a nobleman at the duke-level level.

"Twelve years ago I was Grand Duke Rowan, and twelve years later I am Rowan, the owner of the tavern, alas, these twelve years are really in a hurry." He sighed, and Ike handed him the necklace in his hand, which he wore around his neck, properly tucking the dragon away in his clothes.

"Grand Duke Rowan......" Ike's words revealed a kind of haze, he didn't know what level this grand duke was, but in his eyes at this time, the old fishman in front of him told him his life experience, told his father's past, and told him what kind of person his father was.

"Mr. Rowan," Ike saluted him anyway, "if he is really my father, then I should salute you, thank you for protecting my father like that, thank you, and thank you for not complaining about him even if you lose your official position." After Ike finished speaking, the old fishman patted him on the shoulder:

"Okay, young man, I don't bother with the things that have passed, if he is still alive, please find him and let him come and catch up with me, I haven't seen that guy for a long time, and I actually miss it a little." There was a kind of kindness in the old fishman's words, and he seemed to value the thing of affection more than humans.

"Good! I know. Ike agreed, and at this time, some questions arose in his heart, what made his father so eager to return to his family, and now, his family is still as prosperous as Mr. Rowan said? These questions and everything about his own background were woven into a large net that held Ike's heart firmly in it.

"Young people, wherever you go, remember your last name - Claufadi!"

The voice of the old fishman echoed in Ike's heart, and it did not disperse for a long time, in his heart, there was one more belief, that is, the honor of the family, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, the glory of the family will always shine on his body and mind, he is like the sun shining on the earth, like the sea shining on the sea, in the land of the heart, the family is a sun.

The Clofadi family, his family, for the light in his heart, he must return to that place in the near future.
