Mystery: The Lamp God’s Path To Freedom

Chapter 17 Getting Acquainted

There is always a lot of foggy weather on the Misty Sea, even if you are on a safe channel, you can't escape the fog that blocks the sky and the sun.

The Dawn traveled through the fog for many days, and came to the edge of the violent sea. Finally, it cleared the clouds and saw the bright sunshine, but it also ushered in more manic waves.

Bernadette stood on the bow deck, leaning on the railing to look into the distance, with Wang Zichuan floating beside her.

"Your ability to mysteriously reappear is very interesting. Are these stories that Roselle told you when you were a child?"

Wang Zichuan was a little envious. The ability developed by Bernadette was easy to use and beautiful. Unlike himself, there were no special effects at all.

As usual, Bernadette ignored this abnormal-minded Djinn.

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

"Hmm... how about telling a story about seven gourd babies fighting a snake spirit?"

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

The battle between seven gourd-shaped children and extraordinary snakes, um... seven, why seven? There are also seven dwarfs in the Snow White story my father told me. Could they have the same reference? There is no short humanoid race in the creation myth. Could it be a race that became extinct in the dark era or the catastrophe era? Or they are the children of the ancient gods, able to fight extraordinary species at an early age. Extraordinary snakes, feathered snakes? What he wants to talk about is the history of the melee between the ancient gods in the second era?

Hmm... maybe, I should listen?

But Bernadette was just thinking about it in her mind, and didn't put it into practice.

...

Tingen, Hallsstrasse 19.

After praying to the great Lord before dinner, Sirius enjoyed a fairly sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, he went straight into the living room and took out a few sheets of paper from the safe containing important items, which recorded the content he had obtained from the Antigonus family's notebooks.

Sirius lay on the bed, studying the manuscripts again. 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 bit.

The Antigonus family mastered the Extraordinary Path as "seers". According to the content in the notes, this is a Beyonder path that is good at divination, and they should have a certain spiritual intuition about their own destiny. Then, if the low-sequence people can't feel the decline of the family, the high-sequence powerhouses should also feel it. Are they willing to be the puppets of fate instead of trying to resist, or make some extra preparations for the fate to come?

Did a Kingdom of the Night really exist on the main peak of the Hornages Mountains? What connection does it have with the Antigonus family?

Sirius thought more and more, and his thinking gradually diverged.

In the early morning, June in Tingen has entered summer, the sun has become bright and dazzling, and the temperature has also risen significantly. Only in the early morning, the temperature is acceptable and it is suitable to go out.

Sirius got up early, had a quick breakfast, and went straight to the DeVille library.

This time he brought the dictionaries and other books he had borrowed before, and planned to re-borrow some books that specialize in the study of the Hornacis Mountains.

After handling the return matters, Sirius once again shuttled through the bookshelves.

According to the initials, Sirius quickly found the bookshelf related to the Hornaches Mountains. Unexpectedly, there was already a person standing there.

This is a young man with round glasses. He holds a book in his hand. The pages of the book have not been opened. It may have just been pulled out from the bookshelf, or it may have been read and ready to be inserted back into the bookshelf. On the cover of the book there are several neatly printed words "Distribution of Mineral Deposits in the Hornaches Mountains".

Sirius felt a little familiar, so he thought about it carefully, and remembered that he had seen this young man once when he came to the Deville Library to look for Quaternary historical materials.

Thinking of the fact that he met this strange young man twice, it was fate, and out of the habit of businessmen who like to try their best to expand their contacts, he walked up to say hello and get to know each other.

"Young man, are you interested in the Hornages Mountains?"

Sirius took the initiative to provoke the topic with a smile.

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

"This is a mountain full of miracles!"

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

"For smart people, there are treasures everywhere, isn't there?" The young man first laughed, and then replied in an extremely confident, even arrogant tone.

"Hahaha, yes, you are right!"

Sirius was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"Get to know me, my name is Sirius Aripis, I'm a cloth merchant."

"Larius Witherston, from West Veras County."

After the two introduced each other, they chatted for a while about the legend of the Hornages Mountains, the customs and customs of Severas County, which is different from that of Ahova County, and they talked about the purpose of coming to Tingen City in Lanerus.

"I want to form a steel company, and Tingen City is a good city to choose. The distance from Backlund is just right, not too far from Backlund, which is convenient for market expansion, and not too close to Backlund , real estate and labor are relatively cheap.”

"Well, Tingen City is indeed very suitable. Do you have a stable supply of raw materials? Maybe I can introduce you to some familiar friends, and there will always be opportunities for cooperation."

Lanerus is a very talkative young man, and is very articulate, which makes every word of him seem extra convincing. This also made Sirius fully believe in his reasons, and even offered to offer some help.

"No, I have obtained a mining right for a newly discovered rich iron ore in Severas County, which can completely supply this steel company."

Sirius felt that the person in front of him was confident in his tone and demeanor, and possessed a unique charisma. The communication between the two was smooth and pleasant, which made him more enthusiastic about Lanrus.

After learning that Lanwusi also lived in Howers Street, Sirius left his house number and invited Lanwusi to come to his house when it was convenient for him.

Saying goodbye to Lanrus, Sirius returned home with the newly borrowed "Study on the Ancient Ruins of the Main Peak of Hornacis".

He didn't go back to the living room, but sat in the living room, intending to read carefully.

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

Am I putting too much faith in what he says? He said that he came to Tingen to form a steel company, but his reasons don't seem to be so sufficient after thinking about it. Perhaps, he also has extraordinary abilities? Then, his purpose of coming to Tingen may not be as simple as he said.

What a cunning fellow!

Regarding Lanerus's character, Sirius made an inference that was far from the one he had made in Deville's library.

Afterwards, Sirius turned his attention back to the book in front of him and began to read it seriously.
