Chapter 334

"Speaking of which, Nathan, how did you get into the secret society?"

The conversation on the deck continued, and Edward asked Nathan about his past.

The young man Nathan smiled, "With a mother who is a spellcaster, you can't choose your own destiny."

"Is that so?" The pirate captain's face actually showed an expression of envy and even jealousy.

He had imagined countless times how great it would be if he could be exposed to those mysterious knowledge as soon as he was born. He had the potential to cast spells, but he wasted decades as a mortal, which was the most precious stage in his life. When he really came into contact with the arcane, his body was no longer young.

If I could also get the guidance of a wizard since childhood, my achievements would be much greater than now, right? At least much better than the young boy in front of me. Although I am reluctant to admit it, the young boy in front of me has a higher status in the organization than me.

"Excuse me, which master is your mother?"

Edward wanted to make friends with the "second generation of magic" in front of him. Maybe his mother has a high status in the organization.

Nathan smiled and whispered a nickname.

However, Edward's smile froze when he heard the nickname, and he was excited.

He had heard of this nickname. Anyone who had access to some internal information of the Secret Society knew this nickname well and respected it, because it belonged to a master in the Ten-Man Group, the highest organization in the organization.

The Ten-Man Group is the core power organization of the Secret Society. All major actions of the organization are discussed and decided by the Ten-Man Group before implementation.

Master Barnett, whom they talked about just now, is a member of the Ten-Man Group, but Barnett has a bit of a strange temper and often goes out alone to do things, so there are only nine people who often get together.

"So... So... Is your bloodline so great?" Even Edward himself didn't realize that he had subconsciously changed to a honorific when calling the other party.

Although most wizards feel superior to ordinary people, they are also divided into different levels internally. Although it is not absolute, the descendants of wizards are more likely to awaken as wizards, especially when both parents are wizards, the probability is even greater. So when a family has wizards for several generations in a row, the so-called "magic family" and "pure-blood family" appear. Wizards from these families are naturally full of superiority when facing wizards from ordinary families.

The Secret Society is the most powerful wizard organization Edward knows. Those who are in high positions in this organization can be said to be the most powerful people in the magic world. Nathan has such a mother and such a background, which makes him extremely envious.

He felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority in his heart, but heard Nathan say: "No matter what others think, I personally always judge by ability. Bloodline? Haha."

Edward heard the sarcasm in his words.

The other party continued, "To be honest, I have a brother who has the same mother and father as me, and the same blood as me, which is what you call 'great bloodline', but he is just a mortal."

"What about your brother?"

"I don't know. We separated when I was very young, and my mother rarely mentioned him."

Edward did not continue to ask. The other party's family background seemed a bit complicated. It would be bad if he touched on something that the other party did not want to recall.

The atmosphere between the two was a bit cold. No one continued to talk, and they drank the beer in their cups silently.

While talking, the ship they were on was getting closer and closer to the land, and the outline of the port city of Westport could gradually be seen.

At this time, the deck suddenly became lively. Edward's men were talking while squeezing to the port side of the galley and looking north, as if they had discovered something new.

Edward and Nathan also looked to the sea in the north.

What caught their eyes were several strange ships - there was no oar sticking out of the hull, but one or two tall masts stood with huge sails on them.

"A sailboat that is completely propelled by wind? It's really rare."

Nathan said something surprising while observing the ships in the distance.

"This makes sense. In places like the northern seas where the wind is strong and the waves are high, this kind of sailboat should be used."

Edward's tone contained a sense of praise and mutual appreciation.

"Ship designers all over the world follow the design concept from the Horn Bay, which leads to the convergence of the ships they build - all paddle boats. When I was in the Northwest Bay, I tried to design a ship that did not rely on paddles, but unfortunately, with the resources I had, I could only build some small things."

Nathan laughed: "It seems that you really have a wide range of interests, not just magic."

"After all, I eat at sea."

"Speaking of the Northwest Bay..." Nathan looked at Edward with some amusement, "Are you still in touch with your 'old subordinates' who stayed there?"

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Edward was stunned for a moment, then realized what the other party meant by "old subordinates". He waved his hand and said, "Humph, they are just some small fry. They used to be peripheral forces in my team. Since I led the fleet south to pursue the power of the Offa, I have been too lazy to care about them."

"Oh?" Nathan's eyes were more regretful. "When I went to the Northwest Bay, I heard that all the pirate groups in the Northwest Bay were swept away by a certain lord."

"What?" Edward was surprised.

"It is said that a lord named Graman created a weapon that can summon thunder."

"Greman? That's a very low-key family? It seems that this family has produced capable people and is about to rise. As for summoning thunder, that's a bit nonsense."

"In any case, this lord should have considerable maritime power in his hands, otherwise it would be impossible to pacify the pirates so quickly. There is intelligence that the lords of the northwest bay transport supplies to the royal family by sea, and we may have to face them."

"Humph, the lion is gone, and even the monkey dares to claim to be king." Edward's contempt was evident in his words.

Just as they were discussing, a subordinate came to Edward and asked: "Lord Edward, we are about to arrive at West Port, do you want to enter the port?"

Edward waved his hand: "Enter the port, let's go ashore and take a look."

An expression of confidence and pride appeared on his face, "Nathan, I promise you that within a year, the west coast of the Kingdom of Aldo will be under the control of the Secret Society."

On the sea not far from them, several sailboats also sailed towards West Port.
