Volume 3 Preface (2)
"Venland..." Hestein shook his head, and the focus of his eyes drifted from Vigdith's face to the roof.
"Scandinavia is too barren. But there has always been a rumor among the tribesmen that there is a rich continent in the west of the ocean, named Wenlan, which is three times the size of the entire Europa. My father believed this rumor and began to explore with his tribesmen. I followed my father's fleet and sailed north from the Isle of Man."
"Have you found Wenlan?"
"It's not that easy. After leaving the British Isles for a while, we found a huge island. But it was not much better than Scandinavia. We named that island Iceland."
"Then what?"
"My father was unwilling to give up, so he continued to explore the West with Iceland as his base. I don't know how long we found another piece of land, which was very huge, far exceeding the area of Scandinavia."
"Is Wenlan there?"
"Ventan? The climate there is colder and more barren than Scandinavia, and even the wood that can be used to make ships is extremely scarce. We call it Greenland. After that, my father wanted to continue exploring the west, but the people's hearts were already disintegrating and the material conditions were not allowed."
Vigdith sighed regretfully:
"What a pity. Maybe you can discover the real Wenlan by continuing to sail west."
"After all, Wenlan is just a legend with no basis. Okay, the story is over, can you leave me now?"
"Not yet."
"What else do you want to do?"
"Tell me a story about your adventures on the sea every week. If you promise me, leave."
Hestein was a little surprised:
"You really want to leave me on the island? Your father hates me very much! I was born in Scandinavia and was the son of a pirate!"
"What does that matter? This island has taken in people from all over the world, Almani Federalists, Saxony Kingdoms, and Island Republics... Why can't there be another pirate kingdom... no, what about Scandinavians?"
Vigdis's eyes were so innocent.
"When I learn my father's swordsmanship and become the new lord of Antilia, I will allow all nations and all cultures to live happily in Antilia as they are my people."
——I woke up from my dream.
The face that appeared in front of Hestein was so nostalgic.
"Vigdis?"
"It's Lily!"
Lily Mistertin knocked Hestein's head hard, causing Hestein to wake up completely - Lily and Vigdis look very similar, but there was a black cloth on their eyes and no copper bell was hanging on their wrists.
The down-and-out boy now has now become a man nicknamed "King of the Beasts". Vigdis Mistertin has passed away ten years ago.
Hestein pushed Lily away roughly, rubbed his eyes, walked off the bed, and asked while putting on his clothes:
"How did you come in? Where are the guards at the door?"
"I fell asleep, so I came in."
"Sleep?" Hestein opened the tent with anger, but saw the pirates guarding the door lying on the ground. They were asleep, and they were clearly knocked out.
At this moment, Hestein had already brought the gold found by Ella to join his troops. But in this nearly 10,000 troops, only Bjorn could block Lily Mistertin for a moment.
"Hestein, did you just call my sister's name again..."
"Okay! Stop talking!"
The King of Beasts rudely interrupted the topic. However, Lily seemed to have no intention of stopping at all:
"It's so funny. The person who killed his sister is..."
The entire tent was suddenly blown into the air. Hestein raised his spear and pointed it at Lily Mistertin, and all the veins on his hands and neck were stormed.
"Hestein? Did you point your weapon at me?"
Lily Mistertin's invisible eyes pointed aimlessly at the sky, but his body exuded a sharp murderous aura.
No one dared to stop the fight between these two people.
Just then—
"Little rice! Where are you going to go for small rice? Come back soon! Little rice! Feed! You two! What did you suddenly do in the early morning?"
A certain Barcelona protested at the two of them with a crowbar in the distance.
Hestein's and Lily's faces appeared strangely on their faces.
"Lily, who is Xiao Rice?"
"It was your Barcelona-Lisa who caught a wild cat on the island... For some reason, she and her maid have been trying to catch mice with empty hands these days. After finding that they could not catch them, they ran to catch a cat..."
"Catch mice? Why? Even if there are mice, they don't eat her bread!"
"I heard from her that it seemed that she wanted to feed the mice to someone... The culture of the Qiqiu Empire... is really weird."
"Freaky." Hestein repeated the word. For some reason, the words Ella said to Hunter Mistertin on the ship:
"In my eyes, the people on Antillia are also people of the Seven Hills Empire."
In the distance, Ella finally found that she could not catch the cat with force and crowbar, so she took out a bell and tried to lure the cat into her arms through "temptation".
Ding bell, Ding bell, Ding bell.
Hestein's burly body trembled slightly, and the world in front of him seemed to have been twisted, which coincided with the day more than 20 years ago-
But when he heard Lily sighing from the side, he said to himself:
"If my sister was still alive, her child should be so old now, right?"
"No, if Vigdith was still alive, her child was only ten years old last month, much younger than her." Hestein glared at Lily, "I will never miscalculate such a thing."
Amy grabbed a mouse's tail and found Ella excitedly.
"Your Majesty! Look at what this is! It's a mouse! It seems that the leftovers of Xiao Shui Rice yesterday!"
"Little Rice, you're beautifully dried!" Ella cheered, threw away the bell, and turned to dig up the soil on the ground. She dug a small hole in the ground and inserted the crowbar into it. Then Amy covered her nose and carefully placed the half of the mouse in her hand in front of the crowbar.
The two bowed to the crowbar together:
"Snake, look, it's the rat you love to eat!"
"Snake, come out quickly! Help me bite Hestein to death!"
The crowbar silently expressed its thoughts about the two women in front of him.
Ella fell into deep thought: "Strange, Jabir obviously put such a big Baslik onto the crowbar, why can't I just scream?"
"Does snakes don't like to eat dead mice?"
Ella suddenly thought of something and turned her gaze to Amy. Her gaze made Amy feel that danger was coming and she took a few steps back.
"Amy, try seducing her with magic again!"
"I don't want it! I don't want to use Aphrodite's sacred protection to seduce reptiles! And I seduce the same single twice in a row! What do you want to do if your Majesty is so anxious to call out the big snake?"
"Of course it's to kill that Hestein! No matter what, he is a scum! I want to avenge the girls he was murdered!"
"Your Majesty! You are Barcelona! Not an assassin! Please don't be obsessed with doing this with your own hands and spend some time learning how to magic..."
Looking at the two people making noise in the distance, Hestein carried his body speechlessly.
"I originally wanted to take Gold with her to meet Lord Brock..."
Hestein whispered to ask for Lily's opinion.
