In a low-rise building not far from the docks, an old man with a rather thin build looked at the two "young men" in front of him, who were much younger than him, and asked, "Who is that person?" "He seems to have a certain prestige at the docks. I don't remember the company or the docks having such a figure. His appearance is clearly beyond my knowledge." A subordinate said softly, "That person is named Lance. He's a... uh, gang leader." "A gang!" The old man pursed his lips. "I don't like gangs.…-

The Professor slowly placed the phone back on its base. The cigarette by the ashtray had burned to its end; he had only taken two puffs. He took out another, lit it, and his whole demeanor seemed somewhat dejected. Wolf said nothing, just looked at him. He probably knew what had happened, but surprisingly, he didn't show any rage. "I made a mistake." He took a drag of his cigarette, placed it on the ashtray, rubbed his face hard with both hands, then tousled his hair, and finally, as if in a…

Ace conducted a detailed mental perception check on Tag, confirming the effect of the sphere of light: Tag’s mental power seemed to have undergone an alteration, and he was now incredibly devout toward the Son of the Sea. Ace investigated several other blessed individuals. Some of them had not yet fully absorbed the sphere of light, which Ace successfully siphoned off using a Magic Item. He removed the sphere of light from Emberlight, preparing to keep it for slow research. Ace cast Lesser Charm…-

The sphere of light made contact with “Emberlight,” instantly erupting in an extremely bright flash, and then vanished. Small spheres of light continued to burst into light one after another across the square. People were unsurprised, only looking at these lucky individuals with envy. “Sir, you have received the blessing of the Son of the Sea. May He protect you. You can feel carefully; I hear that a blessing can realize a person’s wish to some extent.” Perry spoke with a mix of envy and…

“That sounds good. What is your fee?” “It only costs one Silver Thales, Sir,” Perry replied eagerly, rubbing his hands. “Then take me to experience the warmth of Cimali.” Ace said gently. “Certainly, Sir. Would you like to change into our local traditional attire to better feel the festive atmosphere? Renting a set of clothing is only 10 Copper Thales, and buying one is 1 Silver Thales,” Perry said to Ace, somewhat eagerly. Ace had no ill feeling about this. Participating in a…

At night, the stars twinkled. Ace presented the scholar's badge issued by the city-state, and with the aid of the charm spell, he gained the trust of the village chief. He rented a room in an abandoned courtyard for the price of one Silver Thales and had been living in this courtyard for over half a month. The village was called Thirty Miles, named because it was 30 Miles from the Cimali Fishing Port. Ace tried to research the burning short sword but found that the short sword would burn any…

“Crack!” The middle-aged Sea Raider stabbed the same spot repeatedly. The transparent shield cracked. He applied more force, piercing through it. The transparent shield shattered, dissolving into starlight. In his vision, the burning short sword struck Ace. “Slash!” Ace, upon being struck, broke apart into starlight and vanished. The middle-aged Sea Raider’s momentum greatly diminished. He looked around suspiciously. “I see you! Stop hiding!” he roared loudly, trying to trick…

“Name.” “Yus Eric.” “A Noble?” Ace was slightly surprised. “I am a descendant of His Excellency, Eric, the God of Flame.” The tall, strong Sea Raider replied proudly. “Eric City-State is in the far north of the Salia Peninsula. Why did you come all the way to the south to become a Sea Raider?” Ace was intrigued and couldn't help but ask. Yus's eyes became distant, recalling a memory, and he looked fearful. “There was unrest in the city-state. The descendants of the…

The Pontos Coast, where the Son of the Sea Pontos is said to have brought the City Founder Ronamos and others ashore. Walking along the coast to the furthest south is the southernmost point of the Salia Peninsula, Cimali Fishing Port, the promised place of worship for the Son of the Sea, and the destination of Ace's current journey. Ace's carriage was moving along the dirt road beside the coast. The carriage bumped constantly on the rutted road. He was driving the carriage leisurely, watching the…

It was deep winter. Des Town's climate this year was unusually cold. Goose down snow had fallen for three days and three nights continuously. Ace was eating breakfast while warming himself by the cozy fireplace in Hicks's clinic. Over two months ago, Ace had thoroughly explained the estate's development plan for the next two years to his mother, Marina. Carson was responsible for implementation, and Romon and Marina were to supervise. He left a letter for his mother, instructing her to give it to his…
