After ending his cultivation, Hai Lei Ding once again embarked on his journey. Just as Captain Mobil had said, this journey only had one goal. No matter what kind of twists and turns lay ahead, it would not be able to stop a man's dream. To give up everything for his dream was the fate of a man of the sea!
They returned to the main route and boarded a boat with a favorable wind. This time, Hai Lei Ding chose to sneak onto the boat and not let anyone see him because he had no money left.
The voyage this time was very smooth, and nothing happened. After changing boats a few times along the way, Haredding finally arrived at the town depicted on the map Peony had given him. It was said that this was the outermost stronghold of the Rockfill family. Just like that, Haredding returned to the world of normal people.
The hustle and bustle of the town made it difficult for him to adapt to it for a while, and the fiery gazes of the bold girls on the street also made him blush. He ran into a tavern as if he was running for his life amidst the laughter of the people on the street.
This was considered a relatively normal tavern. In Hayredding's eyes, those fierce-looking drunkards had been directly ignored.
He sat in front of the counter and asked the bartender bluntly,""Can you tell me something about the Rockfell family?”
The bartender ignored him and continued with his own business. It was not until Hayredding slammed the table impatiently that he glanced at Hayredding. When his gaze fell on Hayredding's left hand, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately became attentive and fawned over him."Sir, what kind of wine do you want?"
"I want to know something about the Rockfall family!”Although he was surprised by the change in the bartender's attitude, Hayredding did not doubt it. The current Hayredding was no longer that fledgling brat. After so many years of wandering, some small incidents could no longer attract his attention.
Hearing this, the bartender looked at Haredding's young face in confusion, then lowered his head to look at Haredding's left hand as if to confirm something. Suddenly, as if he had come to a realization, he took out the good wine hidden in the depths of the counter and eagerly poured a full glass for Haredding. Then, he said,"What exactly do you want to know?”
"The exact location of the family, the composition of the members, and the latest rumors about them.”Hayredding stared at the bartender with a straight face. His sharp eyes looked straight into the bartender's face as if he wanted to see through the bartender's heart.
As expected, the bartender was slightly stunned when he felt Hayredding's gaze. His voice suddenly trembled, but he still pretended to be calm and said,"The castle of the Rockfill family is not far from the east of this town. Everyone in the city knows this. I'm not too sure about their composition, but I heard that they only have five direct heirs. As for the last question, I'm sorry. I'm just a small bartender. Other than knowing that there have been more people coming to the castle recently, I don't know anything else.”
Although he was a little curious about the bartender's attitude, Haredin did not doubt it. He just nodded and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He put down the glass and turned to leave.
" You haven't paid yet…" The waiter saw this scene and hurriedly said. However, the bartender covered his mouth and stopped him from saying anything else.
Did I forget something? After walking out of the tavern, Hayredding scratched his head in confusion, but he quickly let it go. Forget it. It was not a big deal anyway. He already knew what he needed to know. He raised his head and looked at the sky. There were no clouds in the sky. He looked around and did not find anything unusual. Then, he mixed into the noisy crowd and left with the crowd.
However, what he did not know was that the two of them were discussing him in the tavern.
"Boss, why did you stop me? That person didn't pay! Moreover, you actually brought out the best wine. This isn't your style, boss!”The servant stomped his foot and asked the boss.
" Shhh…" The boss put his finger to his mouth and made a soft gesture. He looked around and didn't find anyone suspicious. Then, he approached the servant and whispered into his ear,""Keep your voice down! I've told you many times, you have to know how to read people!”After a pause, the boss continued mysteriously,"Do you know who that person is?"
The servant shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing. Then, he put on a listening posture and waited for the boss to explain.
"I don't know either!" The boss's words almost made the manservant curse, but the boss did not give him the chance. Instead, he continued," But he has an inexplicable aura about him. He's definitely not a simple person, and..." At this point, the boss seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't know whether to tell these secrets to the servant.
"Hurry up and say it!" The servant was anxious.
Gritting his teeth, the boss made up his mind and said,"You have to keep it a secret. This concerns our lives!”Seeing the servant nodding his head vigorously, the boss said,"This guy should be a member of the Rockfell family, and his status is definitely not low! Do you remember the ring on his left hand? I had the honor of seeing it on Mr. Dolan before-that's the mark of a direct heir!”
Looking at the waiter's shocked mouth, the boss continued his deduction,"I think he's from a branch family of Rockfell. He's here for the battle for the inheritance of Rockfell! Old Rockfell is dying. Legend has it that he only has three sons, but the Rockfell family has five heirs. That person, I guess he's one of them!”
"But why did he ask those questions?”The servant boy asked in surprise.
"Hmph!" " I didn't believe it at first," the boss said confidently." But it was his three questions that made me confirm his identity!" The first and second questions were definitely to deceive others. The third question was his main point!”The boss continued to infer,""Think about it. If an heir from another country wants to inherit, the resistance he faces is not just a little bit! He must know, so we have to start asking from some of the outer areas, inquire about the current situation of the castle, and then make the corresponding preparations…"
Under the servant's admiring gaze, the boss said proudly,""It's better for us commoners not to get involved in such matters. That's why I did what I did!”
Walking on a small path outside the city, Hayredin, who had mixed into a group of passing caravans and was chatting happily with an uncle, suddenly sneezed. He was unaware that he seemed to have been involved in an incredible whirlpool. Strange, the weather was very good! Hayredin subconsciously swept his gaze across the sky and felt that it was baffling. Then, he smiled embarrassedly at his uncle. Please continue, I'm listening."
" Young man, although you're young, you still have to take care of your health. When I was young…" First Uncle asked with concern and naturally changed the topic to some stories he encountered when he was young.
"Robbery!" Suddenly, some thugs with their faces covered and weapons in their hands jumped out from the roadside and surrounded the entire caravan.
Although Hai Lei Ding had already noticed the breathing sounds from the roadside and the trees, these fellows who did not bother to hide their heavy breathing were not even considered rookies in Hai Lei Ding's eyes. He naturally did not pay much attention to them. He did not expect that they were actually bandits! Hai Lei Ding's good mood instantly disappeared without a trace. These ungrateful fellows!
"Hand over all your valuables! Hurry!" The bandits did not know that there was a dangerous person hiding in the caravan, and he was in a bad mood. They quickly carried out the robbery. "Damned old man!" Just as Hayredding was hesitating on how to deal with these unlucky fellows, a vicious sentence came from beside him. Turning around, Hayredding saw a bandit pushing the kind old man to the ground and raising the weapon in his hand, ready to commit murder.
Seeing this scene, Haredin was so angry that he laughed. Just as he was about to go forward and torture him to death, he felt all the pores on his body shrink. Hayredding felt this way. Bang! A gunshot rang out, accompanied by a " Stop!" His shout entered everyone's ears. The bandit stared at the weapon in his hand with his mouth agape. Seeing that his big uncle's crisis was resolved, Hayredding did not continue to move. Instead, he turned around and stared at the grass that made the sound, secretly putting on a vigilant posture: The person who could make him feel danger now was not a simple person.
After a series of swishing sounds, a young man stood in front of everyone. Her blonde hair was neatly combed. Although his gorgeous clothes were covered with fallen leaves and had a few openings, it did not damage his noble aura. Instead, it gave him an unknown affinity. His young and handsome face, under the reflection of the sunlight that shone through the leaves, looked like a god that had descended to save mankind.
Captain Mobil? Hayredin almost shouted out in surprise, but he quickly controlled his somewhat chaotic emotions and sized up the young man in front of him. Similar, too similar! It was as if Captain Mobil had been reborn. Although he knew deep down that Captain Mobil was dead, Hai Lei Ding could not help but reveal the same respect he had in the past.
As if sensing Hai Lei Ding's unbridled gaze, the young man looked at Hai Lei Ding and was slightly stunned. Then, he turned his attention to the bandits.
The bandits seemed to be wary of this young man. Under the urging of the bandit leader, they reluctantly surrounded him and tried to surround him.
Looking at the bandits in disgust, the young man took out his weapon. With a series of gunshots, a few bandits immediately covered their chests and fell to the ground. Only a few traces of blood bloomed in the air. This weapon... Hai Lei Ding's eyesight naturally saw that the weapon in the young man's hand was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"The wind is tight! Chehu!" Seeing this, the bandit leader shouted and led the way into the forest. The young man did not chase after him. Instead, he walked over and brushed past Hayredding. He helped the old man up from the ground and asked a few questions with concern.
After some thought, Hayredding decided to ask him about the situation personally. He walked over, patted his shoulder, and asked,""Can I ask you a question?"
The young man turned his head and was about to answer when he suddenly saw Hai Redding's hand on his shoulder. Hai Lei Ding only felt his hand become light. The young man quickly dashed out, turned around, pulled out that strange gun, pointed it at Hai Lei Ding, and asked with an unfriendly expression,""Who are you?"
The rising killing intent emitted from the young man's eyes without reservation. Looking at his appearance, as long as Hai Lei Ding's answer did not conform to his wishes, he would definitely attack without hesitation!
