Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 1: New beginning

   The night is heavy.

   In the slightly cramped room, the teenager lying on the bed was sweating profusely, his eyes rolling under his closed eyelids, and even his face was distorted, but he could not wake up.

   Obviously his dream tonight is not wonderful, or it is more appropriate to call it a nightmare.

   "Hoo--!"

   suddenly sat up from the bed, the young man who had just gotten rid of the nightmare had a terrible face, his chest rose and fell like a bellows and panted violently. He hugged his head silently with his hands, and it took a while to recover from the day-to-day horror.

  Don't want to sleep anymore, Aiwen got up and got out of bed in his linen pajamas, poured himself a glass of cold water, standing in front of the window with dark eyes.

   "Have that nightmare again."

   Ivan Garrett, his identity is after the declining aristocracy, or more accurately, after the declining aristocracy. Since the night of blood and fire three years ago, the honor, wealth and even family members have been far away from this boy.

  As a traditional fiefdom noble of the island country of Ilya, the Garriott family, who possessed the baronial title, was also prominent in those days.

The starting point of the family is legendary. As one of the pioneers who opened the era of great navigation, the civilian explorer Galliot drove his expedition ship to overcome the reefs, storms, and ferocious sea beasts through the treasure sea, and was the first to explore and arrive safely in the shortest time. A new route in the southern continent.

   The opening of the new route allowed the abundant precious metals, spices, agricultural products, and raw materials in the southern continent to enrich the kingdom endlessly, and enabled Ilya, who was at the bottom of the Tulip Alliance at that time, to gain a lot of benefits and leap to become a regional power.

With this feat, the explorer Galiot was canonized as a fief baron by the Ilya royal family, and he became a fief aristocrat from an unnamed commoner, and added a new name to the aristocratic lineage of the Ilya kingdom called "The Galiot family". member.

   It is a pity that this great explorer, great navigator's ability to manage the territory is far from his ability to sail and explore. The Garriott family under his leadership has not only failed to shine in the kingdom of Ilya, but has been on the decline.

And since him, the Baron Galliot is worthy of his descendants, all of them are adventurers in the bones, all day long thinking about taking advantage of the great voyage that just started, but no one wants to go. Run your own territory well.

   How can such activities as ocean exploration be affordable for ordinary people? The huge benefits are naturally accompanied by huge risks. Family wealth and even land have gradually filled the bottomless pit of ocean exploration!

  Ocean Exploration is not only about ideals and persistence, but also strength and luck. This family seems to have exhausted all its luck in the battle of the rise. Since then, there has been no adventure that can bring the glory and wealth to this family enough to stand up.

   Only after more than a hundred years of eight generations of Baron Garriott, the fief that was originally equivalent to at least forty knights was left with only one remote town-Blackstone Town. If Ilya didn't have the restriction of title and title linked to the fiefdom, it would be difficult to retain the title of this short baron.

  In this generation, the entire Garriott family has only one father who wears the name of a baron, and lives with two siblings who lost their mothers in childhood. The only aristocratic ostentation is probably only the old butler, Leo, who still takes care of himself even though he is down.

   Maybe the gods in the sky really can't stand it. When they are about to end up, things have turned for the better.

   A huge-scale rich iron ore was discovered underground in Heishi Town! You can imagine how ecstatic they were at the time.

   It’s just that it’s too early to be happy.

   Even in legal terms, even the king cannot deny the ownership of the iron ore by the Garriott family, but the extremely weak Garriott family does not have enough force and assistance to preserve the wealth that has fallen from the sky.

   As long as they are willing to use their brains, there are always loopholes in the rules established by mankind, not to mention the price paid is negligible.

   In the kingdom of Ilya at this time, the emerging commercial aristocracy has risen strongly, the personal liberation movement has intensified, and the power of the traditional fiefdom aristocracy and even the king is not as good as before.

   A new change is brewing. Who are allies and enemies in this storm, even the oldest politician can hardly say.

   A large group of hungry hyenas are already eyeing the lonely Galliot. Among them are emerging nobles, but there are also "old friends" from the previous family.

   The ferocious predators are all waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that will not make other opponents nervous.

  So, after the father Furman Galliot, the owner of the family, died suddenly due to old injuries and heavy pressure during his early expeditions.

   Taking advantage of the young age of Alvin and his sister, the title temporarily hangs. The town of Blackstone, which had lost its legal protection, was raided by a group of well-equipped "bandits".

  The last foundation of the family is destroyed!

   What happened afterwards was so natural that the "robbers" who dared to attack the aristocratic territory were wiped out by the enthusiastic aristocrats. I don't know what kind of transaction went through behind the scenes, and the iron ore fell into the hands of this "good-hearted man", who is called the escrow of the Galliot family.

   As for the search for the two legitimate heirs of the Garriott family who disappeared in this incident: Anita Garriott and Irvine Garriott, there is no one to mention it tacitly.

   Actually, by this time, the overall situation has been decided, and no one cares about their life and death anymore.

   Aiwen drank the water in his glass and suppressed the thoughts that were surging in his heart. In fact, even if the family's property is ten times more, it will not be enough for Ivan to worry about him. It is his nightmare that makes him escape from birth, but his sister Anita, who is three years older than herself, disappears in the turmoil.

   did not dare to expose the old butler who was looking for the eldest lady, and fled Ilya with the only remaining Evan, and went to Leopold, a small seaside city in the Kingdom of Falitis, which belongs to the Tulip Alliance.

  Leo, the old butler, threw away most of the objects on the two of them that might reveal themselves, and used the last wealth and knowledge of herbal medicine from their youth to open a pharmacy and settled down in a small town to live ordinary life until today.

   But just the day before yesterday, UU read www.uukanshu. com was seriously injured on the night of the escape and left the root of the disease, but the old butler could no longer hold it, grabbing Aiwen's hand and slowly closing his eyes.

   The last relative passed away, and the overwhelmed Aiwen cried out and fainted.

   When he woke up again, the consciousness of the traverser who had been silent in the boy's body for thirteen years was revived, and he merged with the superficial personality of Aiwen and became one again.

  Different from other soul wearers driving on the road, lacking a sense of substitution for the experience of the predecessor, Aiwen is the traverser, the traverser is Aiwen, and Aiwen’s experience is actually his own experience.

   It is only because the body was too weak in the past to bear the huge soul and memory of adults. This is the difference between the superficial personality Ivan and the silent consciousness.

  The two-in-one Aiwen will not be as weak as the former boy, no longer afraid of loneliness and lost in the future. A strong enough heart and broad enough experience allow him to have a clear understanding of what he wants and where his path is.

   "I will live on!"

   The handsome young man with brown hair, dark eyes and fair skin looked at his shadow on the window and said to himself softly.

   At this time, the night sky outside the window is still dotted with stars, and the seaside town named Leopold has regained consciousness and is gradually busy.

   There are many Gothic buildings dominated by black tones. The gas lamps along the street sprinkle warm yellow lights, and the streets are filled with steam wafting, creating a prosperous Victorian port city.

   The era of great navigation has opened for two hundred years, and the navigation industry and ocean trade have become an important part of the country’s assets. The invention of the steam engine seems to have added a powerful engine to this world, and everything is accelerating towards a better future.

   Well, at least it looks like this on the surface, isn't it?
