Chapter 20: The Past of the Family
In the evening, the sun sets, the sunset burns the sky red, and the mountains in the distance are also clothed in a layer of colorful clothes.
With his hands on his desk, Al was reading a book on "The Development of Navigation and Ships", and in order to try not to show his feet, he basically learned about the world by reading books. Fortunately, the identity he crossed over was noble enough, otherwise ordinary little nobles could have so many books.
With a long sigh, and after turning the last page, Al put the book on the side of the desk, rubbed his somewhat swollen head, and sighed:
"I didn't expect the situation to be worse than I thought."
Due to the danger of the deep sea and the awe of human beings for the sea, the development of ships is not fast, and basically there are only some fishing boats and small sailing boats in the port. Like warships, large sailing ships, only large kingdoms and ocean-going caravans can have.
As for the legendary ocean-going giant ships that are hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters wide, there are only a few legendary powerhouses and kingdoms that thrive in maritime trade.
Territories like Plantagenet are mostly plain cities, with only a few fishing boats and small sailing boats in the harbor.
As can be seen from the family map, for the layout of the port direction, only nearly a thousand troops were stationed, and if it were not for the occasional taste of seafood and the maintenance of stability, I am afraid that the road would not have been built very well.
However, I remember that in the records of my family's history, my ancestors traveled a long time from the far north to the present-day south. This is known from the fact that his family contains cold blood, and the cold northland should have some kind of relationship with his family.
The Poseidon Orb that he had just obtained confirmed the credibility of the family's historical records.
So, what is a ship that can go through a long voyage and escort the safe arrival of the ancestors?
The obvious answer is that there should be a huge ocean-going ship hidden in the family.
While she was thinking about it, Polly flashed in from outside the door, "Master, Lord Viscount is still waiting for you in the dining room for dinner."
"Okay, I got it". Looking at the sky outside, before I knew it, it was already sunset.
Just right, knocking his father on the side, as the patriarch of this generation of Plantagenet, he must know something, Al thought to himself.
Walking up the long staircase into the dining room, I saw my father and sister already sitting at the table. Nodding to his father, Al sat down in his seat honestly.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the viscount bowed his head and said, "Let's eat."
As soon as she finished speaking, the younger sister sitting opposite her couldn't wait to eat, and the sweat on her cheeks and her wet shirt showed the amount of training this day.
No wonder he ignored himself today, he was too tired, Al chuckled.
Perhaps sensing Al's smile, Lulu raised her head sharply and glared at Al, her pale blue eyes and somewhat baby fat face, indescribably cute.
The Viscount watched it all with a smile.
After a full meal, Al, who had eaten a little bit, drank the last sip of after-dinner wine with difficulty and sighed in satisfaction.
Only food and love cannot be negative.
After thinking about it, he probed to the viscount on the side: "Father, I read the biography of the family today, and I heard that our family used to come from the north"?
Looking at his son's curious gaze, the viscount thought for a moment that it was necessary for future generations to understand the glory of the ancestors, and nodded: "Yes, our family used to be a big force in the northern countries."
"Really," Al questioned in disbelief.
Upon hearing this, the viscount said with some seriousness: "Our ancestors used to rule a kingdom, and even almost unified the people of the northern countries."
Al, who deliberately didn't believe it and wanted to get some information, almost squirted out a mouthful of water after hearing this.
The ancestors were once legends, and the descendants occupied a kingdom, I can understand, you said that you almost united the north, I don't believe it.
After so many days of frantic reading of books, Al is no longer the person who just came into this world with black eyes.
The main areas of human activity are the central continent, the southern countries and the northern countries. This is the exclusive domain of mankind.
Don't think that these three places are small, just the northern countries combined, there are three or five Huaxia as big. Not to mention the Central Continent.
In the current northern countries, there are at least a few larger kingdoms, and even more small kingdoms, at least a dozen densely packed kingdoms. There are only a dozen legends on the surface, not to mention those who have been hidden in the shadows for so many years, you must know that legends can live for nearly a thousand years.
I don't believe that a legend can unify the northern nations. If it's a demigod, that's pretty much it. Could it be that the family rumors are true? Al, who didn't take the rumors seriously, thought about it seriously. There is still too little information, and such family confidential information, with his current age, he still can't access it, Al sighed.
As for why we came to the south from the north, the viscount said with some embarrassment: "According to the information recorded by the family, that ancestor did not hesitate to offend many forces in order to become a god, and at a critical moment, he fell short."
"Fengshen ......" Sure enough, he is still too young, and Al who originally understood everything was completely shocked.
Back then, how prosperous our Plantagenet family was, there were more than 20 branches of the family alone. As a result, only three escaped after that great change, one of which we crossed the ocean, and the other two have not been known since then, nor what happened to them, the viscount sighed.
Both Al and Lulu were fascinated by it, and with the Viscount's exclamation, they longed for the former Plantagenet family.
After a long time, Al asked curiously, "Father, how did our ancestors cross the ocean so far?"
The viscount waved his hand, "You'll know when you're older." Asked about Al instead:
"I hear that you stayed in the same room with your cousin Chrissy that night," said the viscount, with some meaning.
This sudden change made Al look confused, and how did he talk about the good family deeds.
"Nothing," Al waved his hand and refused to admit it.
"Yes or nothing, just restrain yourself before you enter the first order, after all, marrying your cousin is still good for the purity of the bloodline of the descendants of the family," the viscount said solemnly.
After a pause, "You have to prepare well these days, at the welcome dinner in half a month, the lord of the Rand next door will bring his daughter here."
"Don't disgrace my Plantagenet family. Manly, don't be confused by emotions, marry a few if you like a few."
......
Leave El with a messy face.
