Chapter 2 2. The Three Takaia Brothers and Sisters
The Winter Ship was sailing on the vast northern ocean shrouded in fog, the black sail stretched to its limit and making a hunting sound. The crew members wore worn-out thick-leather katans and worked hard to wipe the deck. The boatswain waved his long whip and scolded them, his eyes full of malice. The soldiers conducted morning exercises under the leadership of Centurion Edmund.
Captain Dastan Lengyan was steering the ship. When he saw Darkus walking up to Class A carrying a halberd, he quickly asked the first mate to take over the helm.
The captain and the centurion walked to the two swords of Darkus and bowed their heads and said, "Good morning, sir, young master."
Darkus looked at the captain and thought in his mind: "Dastan Cold Eyes? And Loxia Fallen Heart bet, the one who sank the third Dark Ark in the Sea of Claws? This is also a legend, but he is still an inferior captain."
Darkus waved his hand to Edmund and told him to continue training. , then opened his mouth and said slowly: "Good morning, my captain, how long will it take for us to reach the Kingdom of Charis?"
Dastan Lengyan said without even thinking: "Master, we will arrive at the Kingdom of Charis tomorrow." After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Master, we encountered a warship with the emblem of the Kingdom of Yris last night. We used the night and fog to get rid of them."
Ulthuan was like a toilet seat. The ring and the inner ring are composed of ten kingdoms. The coasts of the outer ring are connected to the vast ocean, while the land of the inner ring surrounds the inland sea. The endless ring of mountains stands between the outer ring and the inner ring. It is insurmountable. Only a few specific mountain roads and tunnels can pass through. Giant fortresses stand on the mountain roads. Darkos' first stop was the outer ring of Ulthuan, the Kingdom of Charis in the north, while the Kingdom of Yrys was in the east of the outer ring.
Darkus was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Iris's warship? Appeared in the waters of Charis?"
"Yes, young master."
"You used to come here often?"
Dastan Lengyan raised his head proudly Qizhu said: "Yes, young master. No Druzi is more familiar with the sea areas of Ulthuan than me. I often transport some spies here."
Darkus suddenly remembered a sentence from his previous life. To survive, a person must There is a unique ability. Then he nodded and complimented: "Awesome, you go and do your work first."
Dastan Lengyan lowered his head and saluted and was about to leave, when Darkus asked again: "Do you know how many years in the imperial calendar it is now?"
"Young Master , 2008."
Darkus was stunned for a moment and thought in his mind: "Good guy! I will still be born in the 1990s in this life, but if I am lucky this time, I can survive for 550 years."
Darkus walked to the edge of the deck and held on to the guardrail, looking at the Reaper ballista wrapped in canvas, and then at the thick fog outside the ship. The summer monsoon caressed his face, and strands of black hair fluttered in the wind. Darkus heard the footsteps coming from behind, and turned around to see three figures approaching, only two standard Situan sword distances away from him.
Franais, the eldest brother of House Takaia, wears an old set of articulated plate armor forged from black steel. He is tall and burly, with a standard Druchi aristocratic face, full of ruthlessness, a head of glossy thick black hair, and the whole person is restrained and calm. Hardrika, who wears the emblem of the white lion around her neck, is outdated and tacky and complements the age of her armor.
The second child, Wren, was the complete opposite, wearing a set of beautifully crafted black steel articulated plate armor decorated with polished gilding. He looks very much like his brother, almost cut from the same mold, with a hint of extravagance and flamboyance.
Alyssa, the youngest, wore a tight black silk dress with a violet cloak draped over her left shoulder. Wearing a spiked crown, black hair draped over his right shoulder, and a pair of captivating amber eyes, like an unruly leopard. He held a staff in his hand, with a golden snake entwined on the staff. The snake's mouth was wide open, holding a huge emerald gem in its mouth.
The three brothers and sisters saluted and said in unison: "Good morning, sir."
"Morning, we will arrive at the Charis coastline tomorrow. Can you tell me about the White Lion Trial?"
Franais glanced at Renn, Renn He said knowingly: "Sir, our Takaia family came from the Kingdom of Charis before the Great Split. To be worthy of this surname, family members must return to the Kingdom of Charis, hunt and kill a white lion, and take its If the fur leaves this land, of course killing the white lion lackey of the false king will prove its worth more."
Darkus remembered that his cousin told him before setting off that the Takaia family was the first to recognize the fur in the Kingdom of Charis. Rekis is one of the families of the legitimate Phoenix King. After Caledor learned the news that he would become the next false king while Charis was hunting, he immediately set out on the road to the Asuryan Temple. The Druchi assassins led by the Takaia family intercepted. House Takaia would have succeeded if it weren't for a group of Charis woodcutters who burst out of the forest to protect Caledor. Afterwards, the group of woodcutter became the lackeys of the false king, bringing disrepute to Charis, and the white lion lackeys also drove the Takaia family out of the Kingdom of Charis.
When the three siblings were in their twenties, their parents were killed by Kane assassins, and they were later taken in by an uncle. But that uncle had severe mania. In desperation, the three brothers and sisters killed their uncle one night when they were in their fifties. They were then taken in by another uncle Coulon who had completed the raid. Coulon was still alive when their parents were still alive. He proposed adoption when he was young, but his father rejected it. Coulomb discovered early on that his nephews and nieces were very attractive and talented compared to their father. Coulon used the few Sovereins to provide the two brothers with more and better aristocratic education, and sent Alyssa to the Tower of Destruction to learn to control the wind of Gur. The three siblings are now more than 110 years old. The youngest Alyssa has just completed twelve cruel trials from the Tower of Destruction and successfully graduated as a beast warlock. Coulon followed the elders of Darkus to participate in the Dark Ark raid and has not returned yet. The three Takaia brothers and sisters were unable to maintain the maintenance of their ancestral home, so they were called by Darkus' cousin to help. In a word, we are our own people.
Darkus didn't want to go into the woods, so he shrugged and said, "I wish you success, it's time to train." After saying that, he walked towards the training soldiers with his halberd and started to warm up.
The three siblings looked at each other and shook their heads.
Darkus and Centurion Edmund sparred, practicing movement and coordination as well as stretching and distance. Although Darkus was only 16 years old, his years of noble training made him master all kinds of Druchi techniques. The use of weapons is very skillful.
No one mentioned the fault of falling into the sea, and no one dared to mention the fault of falling into the sea.
