Chapter 2518 Ancient Family

"Are you worried about the apostles?"

I asked tentatively.

"You are still young and don't have much knowledge or experience. It's normal for you not to understand some things."

Simmons Locke said earnestly: "Creatures like apostles have been regarded as disasters since they were recorded in history. Do you know why?"

"Because... powerful?"

He shook his head.

"Because... strange?"

He shook his head again.

After frowning and thinking for a while, I gave up guessing and asked directly: "What's the reason for that?"

"Because it's impossible to grasp."

Simmons Locke said with a serious look: "Human beings will never choose to be in awe of unknown forces that they cannot control. They will instead slander and destroy them."

"Because of fear?"

He nodded: "Because of fear."

"Fear is the most extreme of many human emotions. It can give people courage or despicability."

Simmons Locke leaned slightly, leaning back on the wicker chair, staring at the ceiling in trance. For a long time, he murmured: "My ancestors are not just the legendary hero Simmons, but also the few remaining humans from ancient times. One of the races.”

I was shocked when I heard this. The Simmons family is actually an ancient race that has survived from ancient times!

I half-opened my mouth and looked at him blankly, unable to make a sound for a long time, while he was looking at the ceiling, not noticing my surprise at all.

"It's unbelievable, isn't it?" Simmons Locke said with a self-deprecating smile: "It's no wonder, my family was not outstanding in ancient times, it was just the most ordinary little aristocratic family."

"The most common situation for small nobles like my family is to rely on the fields and working as guards for large noble families to obtain survival supplies, and survive from generation to generation. Of course, I am still referring to the lucky ones. As for the unfortunate ones, Yes, maybe within a few generations, we will be swallowed up by the smoke of war.”

Simmons Locke sighed solemnly: "It is said that the chaotic situation at the end of the ancient era was more chaotic and cruel than the chaotic period."

As he said that, he looked at me and saw the horrified look on my face. He couldn't help but smile: "No need to be surprised. Although the Simmons family is inherited from ancient times, it is only the most ordinary type among the many races of the human race. We do not have the wisdom of the Celestial Race. , without the fighting talent of the Eastern race, nor the fanatical fighting spirit of the Western race, we are just the humblest category among the human race, but luckily we are the category with the strongest desire to survive among the human race."

"My ancestors were not lucky enough to witness the destruction in the ancient times. At that time, they were said to have escaped by hiding in underground air raid shelters that had already been dug."

"My ancestors who survived the disaster, because they were not outstanding in terms of fighting talent, could only rely on the wings of the fairy royal family and continue to live a life of survival. Until the end of the melee, the world was in chaos, and the Simmons family unexpectedly appeared A descendant with outstanding talent, and in a very short period of time, he became a strong man who surpassed the level of national power. In the subsequent battle, he met Carter Adams, and joined forces with him to conquer this land, and then divided the territory and achieved great success. Today's York City and Airey City."

Simmons Locke suddenly emphasized his tone: "Xiaoyi, the reason why I say this is not just to explain to you the history of the Simmons family's fortune, but also to tell you one thing. The reason why our Simmons family is able to The legacy that has been passed down to this day is not due to amazing genius, but to keen judgment of crises and a cautious attitude towards survival."

"What do you mean, do you want me to regard the apostles as disasters and stay away from them?"

"That's not the case." Simmons Locke said in a deep voice: "I hope that when you look at the apostle, you can be careful and don't say what you shouldn't say, don't do what you shouldn't do, and don't touch what you shouldn't touch. If Yes, it’s best to always keep a safe distance, neither too close nor too unfamiliar.”

"It's difficult to do this!" I couldn't help interrupting him.

Simmons Locke was not displeased by my rude behavior. He pursed his lips and said, "It's not easy, but you have to do it."

The conversation stopped there.

After Simmons Locke had breakfast with me, he changed into formal clothes, took several followers with him, and hurriedly boarded the magic airship, sailing with me to the isolated island where the ruins of the Sky Clan are located.

After several hours of flying, we arrived at our destination safely.

After getting off the airship, I followed the route I took the day before yesterday and found Luke with ease.

At this time, Luke was carrying a boulder with a diameter of more than one meter. When he saw me coming, he threw the boulder aside, clapped his hands, and walked towards me. At the same time, he kept looking at Simmons Locke behind me. et al.

"Representative of another country?" Luke asked first.

"Yes." I took a step forward and introduced sideways: "Let me introduce to you, this is my great uncle, the monarch of York and Han City, Simmons Locke."

"Uncle, this is the maker, Luke."

"Hello" Simmons Locke took the initiative to extend his hand and shook his hand.

After putting down his hand, Luke said in a slightly teasing tone: "No wonder the temperament is different. It turns out that he is the king of a country, much stronger than that elder."

I explained to Simmons Locke in a low voice: "He is talking about Elder Priscilla."

"That old woman who is a little unpredictable but very stubborn?" Simmons Locke laughed and said: "I thought the Fairy Queen would send Elder Mai Sonoda as the meeting representative!"

"To be honest, uncle, I think the same thing as you."

I whispered in agreement.

Since the negotiation the day before yesterday had already met Luke's requirements for territory and human resources, Luke did not make any requests during this meeting. He just kept chatting with Simmons Locke as if they were having a normal conversation.

Simmons Locke also kept his majesty as a monarch at all times, and kept chatting and laughing with Luke using some common jokes in the Zephyr Continent.

Although Luke didn't understand some of the jokes, it didn't stop him from having a good impression of Simmons Locke.

After the negotiation, Simmons Locke and Luke signed the alliance convention respectively, and stated that they would support part of the materials to Luke as support for the construction of the castle.

Luke gladly accepted.

When leaving, Simmons Locke boarded the airship first, and I talked privately with Luke for a while.

Luke told me he was pleased with Simmons Rock's attitude.

"This is a human being who knows how to control things. It's easy to talk to him."

"Maybe it's because the family has been passed down for a long time," I said lightly, then turned to Luke and said, "I don't know if you can believe what I say, but my uncle's family history is almost the same as the history of the arrival of the Flame Devourer Antuun to Zephyr Continent. Quite naturally, this also includes the time you came. Precisely because of the two consecutive experiences, his family members have a deeper understanding of the apostle than other humans."
