When he was full, Hiko went back to bed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 According to the old man, he is only healing from his bones and internal injuries, and he needs a period of recuperation to fully recover his health. So, for this sake. He was given a rare break.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Hiko. Because it meant that he could be away from the stove and the felt for a while, and he could stay away from the heavy physical activities.

Don't think that a twelve-year-old can play around carefree at this age, when in fact this is not the case at all. At Arest, the age of 12 often means that you have to start taking on the responsibilities of a man, and you have to be a pillar of your family that can stand up and hold up.

Regardless of your situation, you must also learn one or two vital livelihood skills. For example, hunting, sailing a boat, or wielding a hammer by the iron furnace like Hiko. Hikoko had been doing this work for more than a year, although he thought he could start learning to make finished products. But the old man of his family never had such thoughts. The rough billet is already the highest level he can touch, and under normal circumstances, he only forges some formed iron ingots and steel ingots.

Twenty metal ingots a day, this is a task imposed on him by his old man after he learned the basis of forging and smelting, and for this task, Yan has actually been tired of it for a long time. Therefore, to have such an open and honest opportunity to strike, this is naturally very much in line with Hiko's own heart.

Under this rare opportunity, Yan naturally wanted to squint her eyes beautifully first and take a nap before talking. And when he lay on the bed, his ears constantly lingered with the clanging sound coming from outside, he found that he could not sleep. Whether it was the thrill and excitement of escaping death before, or the indignation and desire to forcibly fight for the opportunity when he just faced his old man, his mind could not be calmed for a long time.

In this fluctuating state of mind, Hiko couldn't help but scratch his head in anguish, then rolled over and got out of bed, laboriously dragging out a small tin box from under his bed.

After opening the box, through the faint light of the fire in the room, it was clear that most of the boxes were filled with strange things. There are metal ingots that look crudely made, whale statues carved with strange patterns and covered in wood, and huge bones that look like they are part of some kind of creature. These are all more commemorative things that Hiko himself collected.

For example, the steel ingot you hit for the first time. If you don't have an iron ingot, you can't leave it for long, because it will rust quickly.

There are also the teeth of the sea monster, and the sea monster that was nailed to death by Daddy's sword was punched by Daddy when he was struggling temporarily, so its full mouth of teeth collapsed everywhere like rain. It happened that one of them fell in front of Hiko, and he collected it.

Or the amulet he won from the ship's uncle when he returned from his first voyage to sea. The process is very simple, with the wisdom of his two lives, it is really not particularly difficult to get an old captain who can only play war chess with muscular barbarians and find some self-confidence.

Among them, the most special and meaningful thing is a leather rucksack placed in the corner of the box and occupies that place.

It was his mother's relic, the only thing left to him by his mother, who had not been masked since she gave birth to him. Yan really doesn't know much about his mother in this life. Because less than two days after he was born, his mother died. At that time, as a baby who was not yet able to see with his eyes, Hiko really couldn't look at his mother even once, let alone write her down.

Although he had asked his old man a lot about his mother, the man had remained oppressively silent on the subject. Over time, Hiko quietly drowned this question in his mind. And his impression and longing for his mother can only be pinned on such a wrapped backpack.

It's a backpack that travelers often use, and it's the kind of small backpack that works for women. So this rucksack doesn't look big from the outside. But when you open the backpack, you will find that the space and appearance inside are completely different, even beyond imagination.

If from the exterior of the rucksack, it can only fit two or three large apples, but from the space inside, it can compare with the largest iron box in Hiko's house. That's room for four or five pairs of full-body chain mail, or a dozen Nord-style broadswords. Even a Nord man can barely squeeze into such a big place with a curled up. So, no matter how you look at it, this rucksack can be described as magical.

In fact, it's amazing, and it's even very expensive. Hiko himself remembers very well that once a merchant in a caravan coming from the sea saw this rucksack of his own, and in a shock, he even offered a sky-high price of 1,000 Jindler.

At that time, Hiko, who had not yet figured out the world currency unit in his mind, thought that a thousand Jindler was about the same as a thousand dollars in his previous life. In this regard, he also despised the merchant fiercely. And it wasn't until later that Hiko, who figured everything out, was so distressed that he almost burst into tears.

As the most expensive currency issued by the Central Empire from the first emperor to the thirteenth emperor, Kindler has always been considered the most valuable currency from the founding of the empire to the present day. This 50-gram gold coin bears a portrait of the first Emperor Westfort Dle on one side and a relief of the Alpine griffon, the symbol of the Imperial Family, on the other. In terms of workmanship and volume, it was the best of all the currencies issued by the Empire. And it is said that because of the addition of trace amounts of magical metal to it, this currency is even extremely resistant, and can resist the damage of time, swords, and even magic.

For all these reasons, Kindler has always been an expensive currency for large transactions, and its purchasing power can even be recognized by all races and nations in the world. Even at the height of the empire, such a currency could buy a sturdy slave. And now, with the empire overwhelmed by the rising kingdoms, even several major mines have fallen to rivals. The value of this expensive currency is even higher.

According to rumors he heard when Hiko and his father went to sea for the last time to sell weapons in a distant coastal city, the price of one Kindler had risen to more than double its original price. In other words, you can use it to buy a sturdy war horse or a good-looking slave girl.

After hearing this news, Hiko almost slapped himself in the face. This is a thousand yuan, this is clearly 10 million. If he had known this, he would not have refused so simply in the first place. Although it is not enough to really sell his mother's relics, it is not a big deal to call a few fierce Nord men and stop the caravan and loot it.

In addition to producing the best steel and the best warriors in the world, Areste also produces some of the world's fiercest bandits. The Nord men were the most feared pirates on the sea, and the caravans they sacked each year were more than they could count on one hand. At this point, you don't have any problem with the anemone devil who is full of poisonous fingers.

For this matter, Hiko regretted it for a long time. He waited for the merchant of the caravan to change his mind, and then find him to talk about life, ideals, and price. But the merchant of the caravan seemed to have become much more clever after that foolish mistake, and never flaunted his pockets in the place where the banditry was rife in Arist, not even to visit the village where Hiko lived.

This made Hiko very disappointed, but it was useless to be disappointed, missing is missing, and it is impossible to have a second chance. However, this also gave Yan a new understanding, that is, his mother, who was never masked, was actually a super tyrant.

Think about it, tens of millions of bags, even in the era of material explosion and luxury goods in his previous life, there were few of them. What's more, this world is still half a step in a slave society and half a step in a feudal world.

This made Yan full of hope for the contents of the package, and he even once fantasized that he could rely on the inheritance left by his mother to buy a large manor in the warm south, raise a hundred and ten beautiful maid girls, and live a life of wine pond and meat forest. But the contents of the package really disappointed Hiko.

Except for a pendant with a young old man holding a beautiful woman who suspected to be his unmasked old lady, revealing an unbearable sweet appearance, most of the backpacks were books, and they were the kind of thick tome notes. The notes were piled up in a mess in every corner of the backpack, and the blackened, smudged ink inside could be clearly seen on some of the yellowed paper. It can be seen that these notes are not printed products, but real handwritten copies.

How much are manuscripts worth? Hiko, who had once had fantasies, estimated the notes here, and then he realized that these things were impossible to sell. Not to mention how many people can understand the content of the note, and how much it can be sold for. Let's just say that his old man will never allow him to sell the notes left by his wife.

Yan is not tired of being crooked, so he will never dare to touch this thunder pool.

Dreams and fantasies have been shattered into scum, and the contents of the backpack have become a pastime for Hiko. When he had nothing to do, he could only take out a random notebook from his backpack and read the contents of the notes in his somewhat lame imperial Chinese and even more picky elven language. It's a good way to polish your time, and under this method, Hiko has learned a lot.

First of all, the mastery of the imperial Chinese and elven languages is a must. As two languages often used in the upper class, it cannot be said that he is proficient, and Hiko can be regarded as having a small success. But for Arest, who has no nobles at all, and everything depends on his ability, this ability is completely useless.

On the other hand, Hikoko has a lot of knowledge about the customs of this world. And this is due to his wife's love of writing diaries and travelogues. From the beginning of learning to read and write, Hiko has read about 100 notebooks. Except for professional notes that are basically incomprehensible, such as records of the construction of the element model and the experimental report of the control of active magic molecules, most of the others are diaries and travelogues written by their own mothers wherever they go.

This included most of the empire's territory, the rising kingdom. As well as the forest capital of the elves, the city under the mountain of the dwarves, and so on, it sounds very emotional. These interesting notes have been with Hiko for many years, and even now he hasn't read them all.

And in this situation of not being able to sleep, Hiko once again opened the dusty notes. I want to follow the footsteps of my wife from the inside and find more fun. This time, however, he found a somewhat strange black notebook.

"It's strange, it seems to be a note that I put at the bottom and didn't pay attention to it at all. Could it be that my mother just started to learn to write notes. ”

With this in mind, Hiko opened the metal cover of the note.
