Back then, his ancestor Garriott was limited by his own knowledge and was ignorant of the price he had to pay in exchange for the "Golden Compass."
But!
With Elvin's current knowledge and the family's nearly two hundred years of history, it was not difficult to guess that the so-called "timid and comfortable" heart must have a direct relationship with the inexplicable adventurous factor in his family's blood!
After all, for a normal person.
Who would not want to live a rich and comfortable life after having status and wealth? Instead, they would risk their lives and swim in the dangerous sea all day long?
If only one or two people were so adventurous, it could be said that it was a coincidence and natural instinct.
But eight generations of Garriott barons and almost all the male members of the family were like this, which meant that there was obviously something strange about it!
As a wizard who dealt with the mysterious side all day long, Elvin clearly knew that for highly mysterious existences, the "items" that could be used for trading were far more than just physical objects!
"A trade can affect a family for nearly two hundred years and eight generations.
Perhaps, this is a mysterious person that I can't avoid on my future path of Transcendence!
… From the other side of the sea? "
Elvin did not forget that as a descendant of Garriott, he also had the "adventurer's blood" flowing in his body!
As for the mysterious person with a mysterious background, Elvin's attitude was somewhat unclear.
If it were not for the "Golden Compass" that he gave away, his Garriott family would most likely still be an ordinary civilian family.
One must know that in this era, even if there were no natural or man-made disasters, it was rare for a civilian family to be able to pass down eight generations and not be cut off for nearly two hundred years. Not to mention the various resources and Transcendence inheritance that were obtained because of aristocratic status.
Strictly speaking, as a descendant of the Garriott family, he was also, to a large extent, a beneficiary of the "Golden Compass."
However, from another perspective.
Because of the restless "adventurer's blood," too many ancestors of the Garriott family had died unnatural deaths over the years.
Even his father in this life, the previous Baron Garriott, "Furman Garriott," died early because of the lingering effects of his explorations when he was young.
So, if one day he met this "mysterious person" who was very likely to still be alive, he really did not know whether to regard him as an enemy or a friend …
Thud … Thud … Thud …
"Elvin, are you done?"
After going to the military headquarters to receive the reward of "Rising Star of the Navy", Elvin returned to the Storm Horn.
Other than sorting out his rewards, he also considered the fact that Milan had been forced to stay on the Storm Horn for the past few days while he was helping Angel convert her meditation technique.
As half a landlord of New Haven, he was invited to go out and do his part as a host.
"Yes, it's done!" Elvin quickly stored his rewards in his magic pocket and changed into some casual clothes.
Since they were going to an entertainment venue, it would be too eye-catching to wear a military uniform.
Today, it was the first mate's turn to be on duty. As usual, Gary led the crew to practice swordsmanship.
"Learning from each other" was applicable to Elvin, and it was also applicable to Gary. Now, Gary had some of the experience that Elvin had when he was a swordsmanship instructor, and he was enjoying it.
Thus, Elvin and Milan, who were dressed casually, walked down the Storm Horn side by side.
However, even if he did not wear a military uniform, Elvin had been a navy captain for a long time. Ordinary clothes could not hide the fierce temperament that he had cultivated.
Milan, who had changed into a new set of clothes, instantly turned back into the elegant noble young master. She was far more popular than Elvin in the city.
What was even more unexpected to Elvin was that …
Walking on the street, this guy was even more familiar with New Haven than himself.
"Has the Goliath Hotel been rebuilt? It wasn't like this two years ago when I came here. Also, Central Park and Rose Avenue have changed a lot compared to the past. "
"Yes, although it is said that it was restored to its original state, the buildings look a lot newer. Some of the sculptures and decorations can't be restored in a short period of time. When the finances are better, they will slowly be added.
Many of the old flowers and trees were burned before, and it won't be restored to its original state in three to five years. "
Half a year ago, on the night of the arrival of the God of Opera, Persephone, because of the "berserker" awakened by Wacker Wells's infection, it caused great damage to the city. Many iconic buildings and city public facilities were destroyed.
Fortunately, the kingdom's officials responded well.
Especially with Royal Highness Levina taking out her own little treasury and personally supervising it, after such a long time, the city's restoration work was actually nearing its end.
At least for someone who hadn't been to this city before, they couldn't see the traces left behind by the turmoil in this city.
"Oh, is that so?" Milan, who knew that there were secrets involved, stopped talking. No one knew better than a "prophet" the terrible consequences of casually prying into the "mystery" could cause.
The two strolled leisurely on the street and chatted.
The missions in the first few months were intense, and it was rare for them to have free time with nothing to do, except … It was a little strange for two grown men to go shopping together.
However, what Elvin didn't expect was that Milan, a rich person, actually had her own house in New Haven. To be more precise, it was a property bought by the Snett family!
It was an exquisite garden bungalow in a high-end residential area, and the bright brass door plate was engraved with the name "Snett". However, although they passed by, the two had no intention of going in.
Because under Milan's constant urging, they had another destination.
"This is … Orfeola Casino?"
Naturally, it could only be a high-end place not far from this high-end residential area. It could be seen from the doormen standing at the door.
Dressed in a white shirt, black bow tie, black trousers, and shiny leather shoes, the two young and handsome doormen took care of themselves meticulously.
However, the pair of shiny patent leather shoes on their feet was a luxury that many small businessmen didn't dare to imagine.
Because in this era, "patent leather", which looked very high-end and fashionable, had not been invented for long.
It was a high-end product made of bright paint mixed with linseed oil that was smeared on leather. The process was complicated and the production cycle was long. Although it looked beautiful and waterproof, it was expensive.
"Why are we at the casino?
Let's go to New Haven's largest Rose Crown Hotel. This season's Chardonnay wine should be good.
Don't worry, we've obtained quite a lot from this operation. It's my treat! "
Elvin had never been interested in gambling, which was an essential entertainment for sailors. Instead, he was very interested in the "eating and drinking" that every Extraordinary Knight was good at.
"Hehe, haven't you always wanted to know what kind of power I obtained after killing Basam?
Let's go, after studying it for so many days, I'll let you see it today! "
Milan smiled mysteriously and said a reason that Elvin couldn't refuse.
To be honest, ever since they worked together to kill Basam, Elvin had been very curious about what benefits Milan had obtained. However, he had always used the excuse that he didn't understand it as an excuse to avoid it.
Today, he could finally satisfy his curiosity. Even a visit to the casino was nothing.
"Welcome to Ophila, honorable Sirs! Do you need me to introduce the two of you? "
As a doorman, his eyes were naturally sharp. When he saw the two of them approaching together, one of the young men immediately came forward to greet them.
Even without looking at their obviously extraordinary clothes, he could tell at a glance that these two young men were the guests that his casino needed.
Their outstanding temperament couldn't be concealed at all! Of course, there was also a bulging wallet that matched their temperament …
"Thank you. Please show us around." Elvin had never been to such a place before. It was all up to Milan.
The young man led them to the front hall that was filled with famous paintings. He pushed open the expensive carved wooden door for the two of them and entered the quiet main hall of the casino.
The interior of the rather large casino was decorated more like a salon used by the upper class to socialize. There were gorgeous chandeliers, fiery red carpets, magnificent furniture, drinks, and delicious food.
Also …
The beautiful ladies that were indispensable in normal upper-class socializing were all young girls with excellent looks and figures. It added a lot of points to the already high class atmosphere here.
The young girls wore similar but different light-colored long dresses. One could tell that they were the casino's staff at a glance.
However, the details on the long dresses revealed their ingenuity. It also highlighted the unique beauty and temperament of each girl.
From this point alone, one could see the casino operator's thoughts and the … level of consumption here.
Whoosh —
Seeing this scene, Milan's original intention of becoming a "prophet" was to attract more girls. She immediately revealed her true colors and whistled softly.
After staying on the ship with a group of boorish men for several months, he almost felt that he was abnormal.
However, the moment he saw these cute girls, he immediately felt alive again.
"Hehe, this place is not bad. I like it!"
Milan waved her hand and handed the attendant a gold note worth 50 Gold Lions, asking him to help her exchange it for chips.
Ignoring Elvin's look of disdain, she walked straight to the gambling table that was surrounded by many people not far away, and … the beautiful female dealer who was wearing a sleeveless dress that revealed her snow-white skin and exuded a charming aura.
