Transcendent Journey

The night is heavy.

In the slightly cramped room, the young man lying on the bed brow beaded with sweat, his eyes rolling under his closed eyelids, his face was distorted, but he could not wake up.

Obviously, his dream tonight is not wonderful, or it is more appropriate to call it a nightmare.

“Hoo–!”

Sit up suddenly, the young man who had just gotten rid of the nightmare had a terrible face, his chest undulating and panting like a bellows. He hugged his head silently with his hands, and it took a while to come back to his senses from the horror of day after day.

Not wanting to sleep anymore, Ivan got out of bed in his linen pajamas, poured himself a glass of cold water, standing in front of the window with a dim look in his eyes.

“I had that nightmare again.”

Ivan Garrett, his identity is after the declining aristocracy, or more accurately, after the declining aristocracy. Since the night of blood and fire three years ago, the honor, wealth and even family members have been far away from this young man.

As the traditional Fiefdom nobility of the island country Ilia Kingdom, the Garrett family, who holds the title of Baron, was also prominent in those days.

The starting point of the family can be called Legendary. As one of the leading figures that opened the era of great navigation, civilian explorer Garrett drove his expedition ship to overcome the reefs, storms, and the murderous Sea Beast to cross the treasure sea and take the lead in exploring Take the new route to the south continent safely in the shortest time.

The opening of the new route allowed the rich precious metals, spices, agricultural products, and raw materials of the South Continent to enrich the kingdom from Danger Land, and allowed Ilia, who was at the bottom of the Tulip Alliance at that time, to gain a lot of benefits, and became a Regional power.

With this feat, the explorer Garrett was conferred as Fiefdom Baron by the Ilia royal family, and he became a Fiefdom aristocrat from an unnamed commoner. He also added a “Garrett family” to the aristocratic pedigree of Ilia Kingdom. new member.

Unfortunately, this great explorer, great navigator’s ability to manage territory is far from his ability to sail and explore. The Garrett family under his lead has not only failed to shine in the Ilia Kingdom, but has been on the decline.

Since him, Baron Garrett is worthy of his offspring. All of them are adventurers in the bones, thinking all day to grab the benefits in the era of great voyage that has just begun, but there is no One wants to manage his own territory well.

How can such activities as ocean exploration be affordable for ordinary people? The huge benefits are naturally accompanied by huge risks. Family wealth and even land have gradually filled the bottomless pit of ocean exploration!

Ocean exploration is not only about ideals and persistence, but also strength and luck. This family seemed to have exhausted all its luck in the battle of the rise. Since then, there has not been an adventure that can bring the glory and wealth to this family enough to stand up.

After only a hundred years and eight generations of Baron Garrett, Fiefdom, which was originally equivalent to at least forty Knights, only left a remote town-Black Stone Town. If Ilia hadn’t had the fiefdom and noble title restriction, even the title of this short Baron would be difficult to retain.

In this generation, there is only one father in the entire Garrett family who bears the name of Baron, living with two siblings who lost their mothers in their childhood. The only aristocratic pomp is probably only the old steward Leo who still takes care of himself even if he is down.

Maybe the gods in the sky really can’t stand it. When they are about to end up in poverty, things have turned for the better.

A huge-scale rich iron ore was discovered underground in Black Stone Town! You can imagine how ecstatic they were at that time.

It’s just that it’s too early to be happy.

Even in legal terms, even the king cannot deny the Garrett family’s ownership of this iron ore, but the extremely weak Garrett family simply does not have enough military force and assistance to preserve the wealth that has fallen from the sky.

As long as we are willing to use our brains, there are always loopholes in the rules established by mankind, and the price paid even more how is negligible.

In Ilia Kingdom at this time, the emerging commercial aristocracy has risen strongly, the personal liberation movement has intensified, and the power of the traditional Fiefdom aristocracy and even the king is not as good as before.

A new change is brewing. Who are allies and enemies in this storm, even the most veteran politician can hardly say.

Large groups of stomach rumbling with hunger hyenas have like a tiger watching his prey against the lonely Garrett glare. Among them are emerging aristocrats, but there is no shortage of “old friends” from the previous family.

The ferocious predators are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that will not make other opponents nervous.

So, father Furman Garrett, a patriarch, died suddenly due to old injuries and heavy pressure during his early expeditions.

When Ivan and elder sister were young, the title was temporarily vacant. The town of Blackstone, which had lost its legal protection, was breached by a group of well-equipped “bandits” like lightning.

The last foundation of the family will be destroyed!

What happened afterwards was that as it should be by rights, the “robbers” who dared to attack the noble territory were wiped out by the enthusiastic nobles. I don’t know what kind of transaction went through behind the scenes, and the iron ore fell into the hands of this “good-hearted man”, who is well-known as the Garrett family escrow.

As for the search for the two legal heirs of the Garrett family who disappeared in this accident: Anita · Garrett and Ivan · Garrett, there is no one to mention them tacitly.

In fact, by this time, the overall situation has been decided, and no one cares about their life and death anymore.

Ivan drank the water in the cup in one sip, suppressing the thoughts that were surging in his heart. In fact, even if the family’s property is ten times greater, Ivan will not be able to worry about it. It is his own escape alive that makes him nightmare, but the elder sister Anita, who is three years older than him, disappears in the turmoil.

Don’t dare to expose the old steward who was looking for Eldest Miss, and escaped from Ilia with the only remaining Ivan, and then came to Leopold, a small seaside town of Fallis Kingdom, which belongs to the Tulip Alliance.

old steward Leo discarded the items that the overwhelming majority of the two men might expose themselves, and used the wealth and knowledge of herbal medicine from their youth to open a pharmacy and settled down in a small town. until today.

But just the day before yesterday, old steward, who was severely injured on the night of his escape and left the root of the disease, was unable to hold it anymore, holding Ivan’s hand and slowly closing his eyes.

The last family member passed away, and the overwhelmed Ivan cried out in grief and fainted.

When he woke up again, the transmigrator, who had been silent in the boy’s body for thirteen years, regained consciousness, and merged with Ivan, the superficial personality.

Different from the situation of other soul wearers driving on the road and lacking a sense of substitution for the experience of the predecessor, Ivan is the transmigrator transmigrator is Ivan, and Ivan’s experience is actually his own experience.

Only because the body was too weak in the past to bear the huge soul and memory of adults, this is the difference between the superficial personality Ivan and the silent consciousness.

The two-in-one Ivan will not be as weak as the boy once, and will no longer be afraid of being alone and lost in the future. A strong enough heart and a broad enough experience allow him to have a clear understanding of what he wants and where his path is.

“I will live well!”

The handsome young man with brown hair, dark eyes and fair skin looked at his shadow on the window and said to himself softly.

At this time, the night sky outside the window is still a little bit of starlight, and the seaside town named Leopold has regained consciousness and gradually becomes busy.

Black-tone Gothic architecture stands in great numbers, the gas lamps along the street sprinkle warm yellow lights, and the streets are filled with steam wafting, creating a prosperous Victorian port city.

The era of great navigation has opened for two hundred years, and the navigation industry and ocean trade have become an important part of this country’s assets. The invention of the steam engine seems to have added a powerful engine to this World, and everything is accelerating towards a better future.

Well, at least it looks like this on the surface, isn’t it?
