There is always a lot of foggy weather on the misty sea, and even on the safe waterway, you can't avoid this fog that covers the sky and the sun.

After many days of traveling through the fog, the Dawn came to the edge of the raging sea, finally saw the sun and saw the bright sun, but also ushered in more manic waves.

Bernadette stood on the bow deck of the ship, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, with the Prince River floating beside her.

"Your ability to reproduce mysteries is interesting, is that all the stories Russell told you when you were a child?"

Wang Zichuan is a little envious, the abilities developed by Bernadette are easy to use and good-looking, unlike himself, he has no special effects at all.

Bernadette, as usual, ignored the lamp god with an abnormal brain.

"Tsk, or I'll tell you a story."

"Hmm...... How about telling a story about seven gourd babies vs. snake spirits? ”

Bernadette didn't even give Wang Zichuan a look, but her thoughts couldn't help but diverge.

The battle of seven gourd-like children against extraordinary snakes, huh...... Seven, why seven? There are also seven dwarfs in the story of Snow White that my father told me, will they all refer to the same thing? There is no short humanoid race in the creation myth, could it be a race that became extinct during the Dark Ages or the Cataclysm? Or maybe they're the children of the Old Gods who can fight extraordinary species at an early age. Extraordinary snakes, is it a feathered serpent? He's talking about the history of the melee between the Old Gods of the Second Age?

Well...... Perhaps, I should listen to it?

But Bernadette only had an idea in her head and didn't put it into practice.

……

Tingen, Howlersstraße 19.

After his regular prayer to the Great Lord before supper, Siris enjoyed a rather sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, he went straight into the living room and took out several pieces of paper with handwriting from the safe containing important belongings, on which he had obtained the contents of the Antigonus family notes.

Silis leaned back on his bed, once again poring over the manuscripts. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that there were deep secrets hidden in these contents, and he even regretted selling the notes a little.

The Antigonus family mastered the extraordinary way as the "soothsayers", which, according to the notes, were an extraordinary way of divination, and they should have had some spiritual intuition about their fate. Then, for the decay of the family, if the low-rank people can't feel it, the high-rank powerhouses should also feel it. Are they willing to be puppets of fate without trying to resist, or to make some extra preparations for the arrival of their destined fate?

Is there really a Night Country on the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains? What is its connection to the Antigonus family?

The more Siris thought about it, the more his thinking diverged.

In the early morning, June in the city of Tingen has already entered summer, the sun is shining brightly and the temperature is noticeably higher. Only in the early morning, the temperature is acceptable, suitable for going out.

Cialis woke up early, had a hasty breakfast, and headed straight for the Deville Library.

This time, he brought the dictionaries and other books he had borrowed before, and planned to borrow some books that specialized in the Honachis Mountains.

After completing the return, Siris once again shuttled through the shelves.

Based on the initials, Siris quickly found the bookshelves associated with the Hornachis Mountains. Unexpectedly, there was already a man standing there.

It was a young man with round glasses, holding a book in his hand, the pages of which had not been opened, perhaps just pulled from the shelf, or perhaps he had finished flipping through and was about to be inserted back into the shelf. On the cover of the book are the words "Distribution of Mineral Deposits in the Hornachis Mountains" in regular print.

Cialis felt a little familiar, and thought about it carefully, remembering that the last time he had come to the Deville Library to look for Quaternary history materials, he had met this young man once.

Thinking that he had met this strange young man twice, it meant that it was the arrangement of fate, and because of the habit of businessmen who liked to expand their contacts as much as possible, he stepped forward and prepared to say hello and get to know him.

"Young man, interested in things in the Honaches Mountains?"

Siris laughed and took the initiative to stir up the topic.

The young man in front of him with neatly combed black hair smiled lightly.

"It's a mountain full of miracles!"

"Oh? Are you saying that there are also legendary treasures on this mountain range? ”

"For the wise, there's treasure everywhere, isn't there?" The young man first laughed, and then replied in an extremely confident, even arrogant tone.

"Hahaha, yes, you're right!"

Siris was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Meet me, my name is Sirius Arepis, and I'm a cloth merchant."

"Lang Uss Wizton, from West Velas County."

After introducing each other, the two talked for a while about the legends of the Hornachis Mountains, the different customs of West Velas from Ahowa, and the purpose of the city of Landus.

"I wanted to start a steel company, and Tingen was a good place to start. The distance from Beckland is just right, not far from Beckland, which is convenient for the expansion of the market, and not too close to Beckland, real estate and labor are relatively cheap. ”

"Well, that's a good idea to say that the city of Tingen. Do you have a stable supply channel for raw materials? Maybe I can introduce you to some acquaintances, there will always be opportunities for cooperation. ”

Lanlius was a very talkative young man and very articulate, which made his every word seem particularly convincing. This also made Siris fully believe in his reasoning, and was even willing to offer some help.

"No, I got the right to mine a newly discovered iron-rich ore in West Veras County, which can supply the steel company."

Siris felt that the person in front of him was confident in his tone and demeanor, and had a unique personality charm. The two of them communicated smoothly and pleasantly, which made him more and more enthusiastic about Lanrius.

Upon learning that Lanerus also lived in the Hallse neighborhood, Siris left his house number and invited Lanerys to come to the house at his convenience.

Bidding farewell to Lanrius, Siris returned home with his newly borrowed "Research on the Ancient Ruins of the Main Peak of Honachis".

He didn't return to the living room, he sat in the living room, intending to read it carefully.

Picking up the book, he thought of his new friend Laneus, and recalled the details of their conversation, and suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.

Am I trusting what he says too much? He said that he had come to Tingen to form a steel company, but his reasons didn't seem to be so good when you think about it. Perhaps, he also has extraordinary abilities? Well, the purpose of his coming to Tingen may not be as simple as he said.

What a cunning guy!

As for the character of Lang Erus, Siris made a far cry from his previous time in the Deville Library.

After that, Siris returned his attention to the book in front of him and began to read it seriously.
