In the yurt-like house, Ellie was lying on her bed, staring at the sky with a pair of big eyes open, but her eyes were not anxious, obviously thinking about something else. "Today is my sixteenth birthday, and I am considered an adult, and every year my father always gives me a gift on my birthday, and this year is probably no exception, and when my father goes out these days, he told me that he wants to bring me back a surprise. What would that be? I'm looking forward to it. ”

......

I am very happy today because I have finally found a cure for my daughter's illness, and the excited Takero can't contain his emotions.

The problem that had plagued her daughter for years was now hopefully solved, and how could it not excite him.

Now I have to hurry towards the mercenary guild in Boulder City, it's almost time to make an appointment with that mysterious person, so I have to hurry up and don't leave a bad impression on others.

Wu Lang silently thought in his heart, he must be polite when he met that person.

Speaking of that mysterious man, it was also a few days ago that I happened to meet Adventure before I was lucky enough to get acquainted with him.

That day on the ship was no different from usual, counting the days, Wu Lang had been out to sea for more than ten days, and the harvest was quite rich, and it was almost time to return.

The voyage had been smooth until today, when the weather had taken a turn for the worse, and it was evening, and the sky was full of dark clouds, and the raindrops of beans were pounding on the deck and hull, and looking up, stout electric dragons rolled in the clouds, flashing with purple light.

After a while, the downpour had turned into a violent storm, and the sails had already been lowered from the mast, but the wind still shook the big ship, but this little action was nothing to us who have been making a living at sea for many years, but the lightning in the sky was much more terrifying and scary than before.

The thunder dragons jumped up, the clouds were torn everywhere like rags, as if the sky was about to hold them, and the slender thunder pillars falling from the sky were constantly extending their posture, and some had even hit the water, stirring up huge waves.

Wu Lang hurriedly guided the sailors to hide in the cabin to avoid accidents.

Everyone sat around the cabin, blowing cowhide and drinking wine to keep warm, so comfortable, some of the well-equipped even took out their own treasured pickles, three or two friends gathered together to row a fist, and the people next to them were also watching and applauding.

Wu Lang watched everyone's harmonious atmosphere from the side, and he also felt a sense of accomplishment.

At this moment, there was a violent vibration in the cabin, and all kinds of drinks were tilted out of the table, making everyone embarrassed. This fluctuation was also engaged, and everyone was terrified, thinking that it had touched some reef.

After a little calm, everyone hurried out of the cabin to see if there was any damage to the hull, when suddenly there was a scream from the side of the ship, and everyone hurried over, and when they came to it, they were also stunned by what was in front of them.

A behemoth, the sea in front of it was occupied by a huge whale, and rows of disc-shaped blood holes were exposed on the whale's body, as if it had been torn apart by some creature. Human knowledge is limited, and even I, the head of a chieftain, have never seen such a horrible creature in my experience, and the sea around me is stained red with the blood of this giant beast, which has just risen from the surface of the sea and struck our ship.

...... One night

The next day, under the scorching sun, Wu Lang commanded everyone to scavenge for as many useful things as possible on the whales in front of them, such as those blubber fats that would definitely be able to be bought for a good price if they were placed in Boulder City, I thought so.

In the end, because the boat really couldn't fit it, we had to give up the search, and looking at the giant whale in front of me, I thought I should bring some souvenirs or something back to Ellie, just in time for her birthday was approaching.

Just do it, Wu Lang jumped out of the boat and swam to the whale's eye, only to find that the eye in front of him was so huge, it was almost the same size as mine.

Takerou pulled out his saber and stabbed it into the cetacean and stirred it back and forth, finally letting me touch a hard object, and then I used the knife to peel it off from the other tissues around it, and swam it in the surrounding water, and then I got a milky white smooth sphere, which is the whale bead in the cetacean.

According to the old people in the tribe, the whale's eyes produce a kind of bead called the whale bead, and its peculiarity lies in the fact that it can emit the same glimmer as the night pearl, which is a rare treasure. And the one in front of Wu Lang is the size of a basketball, this must be a good treasure, but unfortunately the other eyeball has been sucked away by the unknown creature, leaving only a hollow eye socket.

......

As soon as he returned home, Wu Lang couldn't wait to transport the harvest of this trip to the trading market in Boulder City, after all, meat can't be stored for too long, and of course the whale bead was also brought on Wu Lang's body.

In the port, Wu Lang was unloading the cargo with everyone, and at this moment, a passenger merchant ship came from a distance, the hull was richly decorated, and at first glance it was not something that ordinary people could sit on.

When I got closer, I saw that most of the passengers who came down from above were well-dressed, thinking that it was a team of nobles, and there were some neat guards around them. Until finally a mysterious man wearing a black cloak appeared in the cabin.

The mystery man wasn't with the people before him, he stepped off the boat and looked around, finally looking in our direction.

......

The mysterious man stood in front of me and asked Takero where the whale came from, and Takero answered him truthfully, and then he asked me if I had whale beads on me, and I was amazed at his guessing ability, and then took the whale beads from the cabin.

Seeing this whale bead, the mysterious man seemed to be very excited, although Wu Lang couldn't see his expression, but Wu Lang felt his mood.

Then he asked Takero if he could sell him this whale bead, and he offered me a price that I couldn't refuse, Takerou thought that the whale bead was of little use to me, and sold it, so that I could buy all kinds of dresses for Ellie that she had been describing from my mouth, after all, the harvest of every voyage belonged to everyone, so Takerou never had the opportunity to buy her these expensive clothes, and now it finally came.

Takero agreed to the deal, and just as he stepped forward to give away the item, Takerou's hand inevitably touched his hand, and at this moment, the mysterious man was a spirit's backhand and held Takerou's hand.

This made Takero scratch his head, did he want to regret it? Then after a stalemate for a while, the mysterious man let go of Takerou's hand, and seemed to want to observe me carefully through his eyes.

Then he directly said whether I had a daughter and was frail and sickly.

Takero was very surprised, and then he said that he could cure my daughter's illness. Wu Lang was completely stunned at this moment, and then reacted and quickly knelt down and prayed that he could cure my daughter.

It is said that men have gold under their knees, and Wu Lang is also really in love, and he is eager to save women, and he can't care about any dignity.

Then the mysterious man told me Wu Lang that he was very busy and asked me to go back with the gold coins, and I would wait for him at the Mercenary Guild on time in a few days, and then handed me a membership card of the Mercenary Guild.

Takero knows that this membership card is usually owned by very powerful people, which makes Takero convinced of the identity of the mysterious person, and expects him to cure Ellie.
