Albert lay on the ground, silent for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He lost, completely lost.

Unexpectedly, in the end, his family's legal code was lost to his classmates.

Albert took out the quaint dossier from the spatial ring and handed it to Caesar.

"It's yours now. ”

Albert's hands trembled, he didn't want to leave everything in his family to an outsider. But he didn't want to lose that last dignity.

He does what he says, and that's his bottom line.

Caesar took the Codex, looked at the esoteric inscription on it, and returned it to Albert's hand.

"Burn it. ”

"What?"

This time, Albert was utterly annoyed.

"Even if you don't want it, there's no need to burn it, this is the hard work of my people for generations, and you are so bad?"

Caesar was expressionless and said indifferently:

"Are you still talking?"

Albert was angry but had nothing to say, so he could only look at Caesar in front of him with angry eyes.

"Since you promised, if you lose, this code will be mine. Then as the master of the code, I have the right to dispose of it at will. Now, I'll let you burn it. ”

Caesar was so unequivocal that he didn't give Albert the slightest room for bargaining.

Albert had no choice but to take the Codex from his hands.

Looking at the code in his hand that had been cleansed by history, Albert's heart was more helpless. On the one hand, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the family from generation to generation, and on the other side is its own life principle and its own defense of the family's honor.

It was hard to choose, but he had to.

A flame of sorrow rose in his hand, enveloping the Codex. The pages of the book turned into ashes and floated into the air, as if they were sublimating, bidding farewell to the world.

Albert looked at the dust flying into the sky, and there was a slight haze in his eyes.

I'm sorry, father, but I still lost everything. At the end of the day, I can't protect anything.

The image of his father touching his head appeared again, and the smile on his face was forever frozen. That longing for the eyes of Albert became eternal despair.

The last bit of the page drifted away, and Albert hung his arm limply.

It's finally over.

But there is also a hint of relief in my heart.

At this point, his mind went blank.

At this moment, the flying ash hovered in the air, as if it was being pulled by some force.

Rumble!

The blazing flames pierced the blue of the sky, flowing gracefully in the air.

"That's like a word. ”

Someone around said something, and everyone looked up.

Albert felt the call in his heart and raised his head as well.

The next moment, his eyes were completely moist. The last vestiges of defense in his heart were shattered, and he held his head in pain, like a child who had not grown up.

Aren't those words in the air the most familiar father's handwriting?

"Son, I'm proud of you!"

A few simple words make the strong disintegrate and let the thoughts surge.

Caesar said silently:

"Your father knows very well that for you the glory of the family is everything. What he wants you to burn is not the difficulties in front of you, but the glory of the past that is meaningless. He always wants you to go your own way and not live under the surname 'Sit'. This is your father's long-cherished wish. ”

The crying did not stop, and for ten years, everything completely collapsed. Albert cried out as if he had gone mad.

He felt like he had gone back to that old time, and his father touched his head, smiled with satisfaction, and nodded to him......

Caesar departed, silently.

He took out the magic crystal and called out to Nicole on the other end.

"What's wrong? I'm meditating. ”

Nicole's coquettish words passed through the magic crystal and reached Caesar's ears.

"Nicole, I may not be able to accompany you for the next few days. I have some business to attend to and will be leaving Virgina soon. ”

"What's the matter? Wait a minute, let's meet. ”

Nicole couldn't sit still any longer and said anxiously.

"No, it's okay, I'll be back soon, don't worry. ”

Caesar said softly, then interrupted the conversation.

The trench coat flutters, leaving a trace of reluctance in the air.

A week later.

Pompeii, the largest city near Mount Vesuvius, which belonged to the Ottoman Empire, welcomes a white-haired adventurer dressed in a trench coat.

This adventurer is none other than Caesar, but he is now known as Cizer, a thunder-attribute great swordsman, and a D-class adventurer in the Westin Continent Adventurers' Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild is one of several behemoths on the Westin continent. These behemoths can be found all over the continent, and no matter which country has their foothold. They remain neutral and do not participate in wars between any nations. It is only when there is a crisis that affects all of humanity that they will step up and join forces with nations to tide over it.

Adventurers are divided into A-class adventurers, B-level adventurers, C-level adventurers, D-class adventurers and E-class adventurers according to their strength and completed tasks, and above them, there are a few and extremely mysterious S-class adventurers. Only by completing enough and difficult enough missions and passing the strength assessment will the adventurer be able to increase his or her level.

Caesar took on the now extremely hot "Vesuvius Investigation" mission at the Adventurers' Guild in Virgina to hide his identity.

As far as he knew, in addition to the Adventurers' Guild itself, there were already multiple forces that had issued quests to adventurers from all sides, and the rewards were handsome. He just took advantage of this torrent of adventurers to hide in it and facilitate his movements.

And now, in front of Caesar is the adventurer's guild of Pompeii.

Looking at the huge guild sign and the loud voices in it, Caesar packed his bags and walked in.

Passing through the porch, a lively scene appeared before his eyes.

Surrounded by tables sat swordsmen in armor and mages in mage robes, chatting merrily, sipping on beer and sharing the news they had received from various small paths.

Many of the quest cards are pointed at and discussed about the difficulty of the quest and the story behind it.

Others wait behind the service window, waiting to hand over tasks or receive payment.

Caesar looked at the many dusty figures, and he knew in his heart that many people had already taken action. Out-of-town adventurers want to be able to get the first step and get first-hand information from the locals, so that they can be more sure of the mission.

Caesar thought the same thing, and he sat down in a random corner, and called the waiter to order a beer.

He carefully observed the various people in the guild, listening carefully to the topics they discussed.

"Do you guys have any news to share with us?"

The middle-aged man in heavy armor on the side said heroically, his voice was so thick that it was difficult for people not to notice.

One of the mages sitting at the same table with him whispered:

"I have first-hand information here, I don't know if you're interested?"

"You say it, come and hear it. ”

"Actually, since the roar of the beast came from Vesuvius, there have been local adventurers who have gone to investigate. ”

"What? Someone has already made a move?"

Dahan slapped the table and said with some annoyance.

This attracted the attention of many people around.

"Shhhh ”

The mage continued to lower his voice while looking left and right:

"It's been so long since this matter came out, how could it be that no one has gone to find out. It's just that legend has it that the group of adventurers who went to the volcano have never been heard from after entering the mountain. Someone followed their trails to look for them, but the traces of those movements disappeared without a trace as soon as they entered the forest, and they could not be traced. In order not to affect the enthusiasm of the latecomers, the Adventurer's Guild concealed this matter. The difficulty of this task is much more terrifying than you think. ”

The mage said with a sneer.

"If you don't have the strength, I advise you to go back as soon as possible. ”

The two exchanged their news with each other, and the more they talked, the more frightened they became.

Caesar smiled silently, but was not worried.

This seems to be interesting!
