Pulling Qianyu, Lily led the three young men towards the hotel where they lived. In her opinion, these three humanoid sea dragons were their hope of crossing to Dix. Although she might not be able to convince the young men, but in the hotel
There is another person who might be able to convince the boy...
Just when Lily was taking the three dragons to find Lan, Fan was secretly following Jacks, thinking about how to persuade him. He was controlled by Kaz. If Lily hadn't saved him in time, he might have done many wrong things.
Come. If I don't do something for you, I'm afraid Fan will feel uneasy.
Fan followed Jacks and came to a secluded harbor. There was only one ship parked in this port. It looked very new and seemed to have not experienced many winds and waves. Jacks stood on the dock, looking at the ship.
Without looking back he said, "Okay, you've been following me for so long, just say what you want to say."
Fan smiled bitterly, walked out of the corner, came to Jacks' side, and also looked at the ship with a dark red hull. Compared with the ships moored in the port north of the Backwater Bar, this ship seemed smaller.
A lot.
"Actually... I'm a little confused." Fan smiled bitterly, looking at the seabirds hovering on the mast, and sighed, "When I was young, my father and mother abandoned me and left home. Maybe I resented my parents' ruthlessness.
Well, so instead of continuing to learn the swordsmanship inherited from my family, I became very interested in magic..."
Fan lowered his head and looked at his palms, and the azure magic power was flowing in his palms: "But I really don't have any magic talent. Although Teacher Sophia recommended me to learn magic from Teacher Zhanbis, Teacher Zhanbis is teaching now.
I gave up on me after a few months... Hehe, come to think of it, for a magician whose elemental sensitivity is horribly low, if I were a mentor, I would probably give up, right?"
"Then why do you continue to learn magic?" Jacks raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "If you learn swordsmanship, I'm afraid you can achieve great achievements, right?"
Fan shrugged and said with a smile: "No, I don't regret it. I like magic, very, very much. Even if I can't use too advanced elemental magic, I have only relied on arcane magic to reach my current level..."
The light of magic power surrounds Fan's body, and the magic power in Fan's body is already comparable to that of a high-level mage! Reaching this level by just practicing arcane magic does not rely on talent, but sheer hard work.
"During those years in Dix, I have been studying magic in the small room that belongs only to me in the Mage Tower." A look of reminiscence appeared on Fan's face, "I have no friends, no partners, if the mentor does not
If I drive out of the Mage Tower, I'm afraid I will choose to leave sooner or later, right?"
"If it were me, I would have left long ago." Jacks sneered, sat on a wooden barrel nearby, stepped on the barrel with one foot, put his left hand on his knee, and said casually, "My parents are both pirates.
, although he is not the most powerful pirate in this area, he is the most adventurous pirate."
Jacks looked at the sea, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "Originally, when I was a child, I always wanted to be like my parents, crossing the sea, exploring those secret and dangerous places, and seeing what the end of the sea is like... But under the circumstances of my parents
After I died, I suddenly found that my goals had become meaningless... It turned out that what I wanted to do was to surpass my parents. My parents are not in this world, so what's the point of surpassing them?"
"Why is it meaningless?" Fan shook his head and said, "Your parents should be the same as you, wanting to conquer this ocean, right? Aren't their unfinished dreams about to be realized by you?"
"That's what I thought at the time..." Jacks looked at the ships on the side and sighed, "This Cardinal is a replica of my parents' Red Eagle. Every time I see this ship, it reminds me of
My parents...I have no reason to go to sea anymore..."
Fan chuckled and said, "The day I first saw you, you seemed to have just returned from going to sea, right?"
Jacks did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, I have recently been helping my uncle Sachi sail a boat to earn some living expenses. Although my parents left a fortune, they basically used it on this Cardinal.
The ship is on board. I don't hate the sea, but I can't go to sea on this ship. That's why I told you that I can rent the ship to you, but I will never take you to sea on this ship.
"
Fan asked helplessly: "Does it mean that we can just change to another ship?"
Jacks chuckled and evaded: "No, I will help my uncle sail the boat in a while. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to take you..."
"Oh~" A thick and heroic male voice came from the Cardinal, and a middle-aged pirate with a black beard was leaning on the ship with one elbow, greeting the two of them.
"Uncle?!" Jacks looked at Blackbeard who appeared on the ship in surprise, "Why..."
"Haha, I don't remember that I asked you to sail the boat in a while." Blackbeard smiled boldly, grabbed the swing rope in one hand and jumped off the boat to the two of them. Fan noticed that, unlike Jacks, Blackbeard's eyes
It's not blue, but brown. "Jacks, do you really want to stay stuck in this small port and give up on your dream?"
"I..." Jacks smiled bitterly and sighed, "Uncle, you know..."
Blackbeard put his right hand on Jacks' shoulder, stopping what Jacks wanted to say: "You have always been eager to go to sea, right? It's just that you don't want to face it. Although your uncle promised you to do everything possible to find your parents
and the Red Eagle, but they may be waiting for you somewhere in this sea area, and only you can find them!"
Jacks opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally said with a wry smile: "I... some things can't be overcome by just talking..."
"But if you never take the first step, then there is definitely no way to move forward." On the Cardinal, another figure appeared. Who else could it be if it wasn't Robert, the owner of the Backwater Bar? He looked at Jacks condescendingly, seriously.
He said, "Some things should be let go when it's time to let them go. As a man, stand tall and move forward to the future!"
Seeing Robert, Jacks laughed: "Boss, let me tell you why uncle is here. It seems you told him! It seems boss you really want me to go to sea!"
Robert also smiled and said: "Of course, it gives me a headache to have a drunkard stay at the bar all day long. If you leave, the backwater bar will be much cleaner."
"Other bars wish they were full of customers from morning to night, but you guy thinks the bar is not quiet enough. What a weirdo." Jacks laughed and cursed, looking at Fan, "It seems like this place no longer welcomes me.
But...anyway, thank you for your care over the years!"
Jacks bowed deeply to Blackbeard and Robert. When he raised his body, he secretly wiped the corners of his eyes and said without looking back: "Van Genos, right? I'm going to let my Cardinal be in Isley."
Take a walk around the Tehai Sea. If you want to take a smooth sailing boat, come quickly!"
