"Get up, 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 a fate for yourself."

"So that's the case?" The pirate captain's face showed an expression of envy or even jealousy.

He had imagined countless times that it would be great if he could come into contact with those mysterious knowledge from birth. I have no potential to cast spells, but I wasted decades as a mortal. That was the most precious stage in my life. When I really came into contact with the arcane method, my body was no longer young.

If I can also get the guidance of a mage, the achievement should be much greater than the current one, right? At least much stronger than the Maotou in front of him. Although he was a little unwilling to admit it, the Maotou in front of him had a higher status in the organization than himself.

"May I ask, which master is your mother?"

Edward wanted to make friends with the "second generation of the French" in front of him, maybe the other party's mother had a high status in the organization.

Nathan smiled and called out a nickname.

However, the smile on Edward's face froze when he heard this nickname, and waves of excitement surged in his heart.

He had heard of this nickname, but anyone who had access to some internal information of the Arcane Society would have heard and admired this nickname, because it belonged to the highest organization in the organization—a certain master in the group of ten.

The ten-member group is the core authority of the Secret Law Association. All major actions organized by the ten-member group are discussed and decided by the ten-member group before implementation.

The Master Barnett they talked about just now is a member of the ten-member group, but Barnett has a weird temper and often goes out to work alone, so there are only nine people who often get together.

"So... So... Is your bloodline so great?" Even Edward himself didn't realize it, and he subconsciously changed the name of the other party into an honorific.

Although most mages have a sense of superiority when facing ordinary people, they are also divided into ranks and ranks internally. Although not absolute, the descendants of mages are more likely to awaken as mages, especially when both parents are mages, the probability is even greater. So when mages appeared in a family for several generations, the so-called "mage family" and "pure blood family" appeared. When mages from these families faced those mages from ordinary people's families, they would naturally be full of great blessings

The Arcane Society is the most powerful mage organization that Edward knows. The people at the top of this organization can be the most powerful group of people in the magic world. Nathan has such a mother and such a background, but it makes him He was extremely envious.

He felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority in his heart, but he heard Nathan say: "No matter what others think, I've always been judged by my ability. Bloodline? Hehe."

Edward could hear the sarcasm in his words.

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

"Then your brother?"

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

Edward didn't continue to ask. The other party's family background seemed a bit complicated, and it would be bad if it touched on some things that the other party didn't want to recall.

The atmosphere between the two was a little cold, and neither of them continued talking, drinking the beer in their glasses 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 was gradually becoming clearer.

At this time, the deck suddenly became lively. While discussing, Edward's men squeezed to the port side of the galley and looked north, as if they had discovered something novel.

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

What caught their eyes were several strange ships—not a wooden oar could be seen protruding from the hull, and one or two tall masts stood upright with huge sails on them.

"Is it a sailboat that is propelled entirely by wind? It's really rare."

Nathan said words of surprise while observing the ships in the distance.

"This is reasonable. This kind of sailboat should be used in places like the northern seas where the wind and waves are high."

There was something approving and sympathetic in Edward's tone.

"Ship designers all over the world follow the design concept from the Horn Bay, which leads to the convergence of their ships - all galleys. When I was in the Northwest Gulf, I tried to design ships that did not rely on oars , Unfortunately, with the resources in my hands, I can only make some gadgets."

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

"After all, I ate at sea."

"To the Northwest Gulf..." Nathan looked at Edward with some playfulness, "Do you still have contact with the 'old subordinates' you left there?"

Edward was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what the other party meant by the 'old men'. He waved his hand: "Hmph, they're just some miscellaneous fish. They used to serve as a peripheral force in my team. Ever since I led the fleet south After pursuing the power of arcana, I don't bother to care about them."

"Oh?" Nathan's eyes were full of pity, "When I went to the Northwest Bay~lightnovelpub.net~ but I heard that the big pirate group on the Northwest Bay was wiped out by a certain lord. "

"What?" Edward was surprised now.

"It is said that a lord named Greiman made a weapon that can summon thunder."

"Greyman? That's a very low-key family? It seems that this family has a capable person and is about to rise. As for summoning Lei, this is a bit of nonsense."

"In any case, this lord should have considerable sea power in his hands, otherwise it would be impossible to put down the pirates so quickly. According to intelligence, the lords in the northwest bay transport supplies to the royal family by sea, and we are likely to match up."

"Hmph, the lion is gone, even the monkey dares to be king." Edward's contempt was beyond words.

While they were discussing, one of the men came to Edward and asked for instructions: "Master Edward, you are about to arrive in Westport, do you want to enter the port?"

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

A confident and proud expression appeared on his face, "Nathan, I assure you, within a year, the west coast of the Aldo Kingdom will be brought under the control of the Arcane Society."

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