Chapter 4 Contract? free! Head to Poseidon Island!
Wells and Lan were sitting at the table. There was a lot of food and drinks on the table.
Lan didn't say a word, just sat quietly at the table.
"If we don't talk about work today, let's talk about our hearts."
Wells looked at Lan who said nothing and smiled lightly. Immediately, he picked up the wine glass and poured the wine for Lan himself.
While pouring the wine, he said: "Lan, do you hate the teacher and the empire?"
It was Wells who set him on this path.
Yilan's talent should have blossomed on the mainland stage, enjoying the spotlight and being a free shark galloping across the sea.
But because of his words,
Lan spent the first half of his life living in a dark cage.
Training, endless killing, no publicity
This is too cruel for a child.
Sharks should be swimming in the ocean,
Instead of being restricted to one gutter.
Wells also felt very guilty about Lan.
He also spent some time with Lan,
He knew that Lan was far from being as cold and mature as he appeared.
"I don't hate it. It was the Empire that saved me. Teacher, you gave me a new life. If it weren't for the Empire and Teacher, I would have died at the hands of pirates along with the people in the small fishing village." Lan's voice was particularly low.
"But you should have had a better childhood." Wells suddenly spoke. Lan shook his head after hearing this, with a flash of pain in his eyes: "Teacher, I don't want to talk about this."
"Okay." Wells' voice was a little hoarse, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes reflected the growth rings of the years.
He is old.
But Lan is still young.
Such an outstanding talented young man should not die in this dark and damp prison.
He pondered for a long time.
Wells looked at Xiang Lan.
"Lan, do you want to be free?"
Suddenly, Lan's heart suddenly trembled!
Free...free...
These two words were familiar yet unfamiliar to him.
This was something he had always longed for, but was out of reach.
Immediately afterwards,
Wells took out a contract from his arms and pushed it in front of Lan.
"I have applied to His Majesty to give you a chance to escape from the black ice."
"But you must complete your last mission for the empire, no matter when and where."
"One year, ten years, maybe even longer."
"Until you complete the final mission assigned to you by the empire, you are still a member of Black Ice and a killer of the empire."
Wells pondered slightly, a smile flashed across his face: "But before that, you can live the life you want."
"As long as the mission is completed, you will no longer be Black Ice's killer, Lan."
"Lan, are you willing?"
Wells's voice echoed quietly in the cell.
Lan's numb body shook violently. He tremblingly picked up the contract and checked it carefully several times.
His Majesty's seal. This contract is genuine.
"Lan...is willing."
Lan signed his name on the contract.
When Lan pushed the contract out, he felt a sense of relief.
He is free...
It all happened so suddenly and dreamily that Lan thought she was dreaming.
Wells put away the contract, put his hand on Lan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Live well, the world is a big place, and there are many beautiful things that you need to discover with your heart."
"Also, the teacher hopes that if the empire is in danger one day in the future, you can also stand on the side of the empire."
"Teacher knows that your unwillingness to mention your childhood is all because of the empire."
"But this is a world where the weak eat the strong. Without cruel survival laws, the empire would not be what it is today."
"Even Your Majesty, this is how he came to be."
Wells sighed slightly.
The competition among the Star Luo royal family is far more cruel than that of Black Ice.
After all, the enemies standing in front of them are all their beloved relatives and friends.
Lan also had a short childhood.
He lived under the same roof with many children his own age, playing and laughing together.
Until one day, the nightmare comes.
The Empire puts these children in a cage to kill each other, and only the last one alive can enter the black ice. And Lan is the last child alive.
His hands were stained with blood,
Including his childhood friends.
From the moment the contract was signed, the strongest assassin in Black Ice was already dead.
Die in childhood memories.
As for the last mission, for Lan, it was just another killing. Lan was already used to killing.
Lan bowed deeply towards Wells.
Turn around and leave.
Wells looked at Lan's back with a relieved smile on his face.
Lan.
Live well,
for yourself.

Lan walked out of the underground cell and returned to the ground. The dazzling sunlight made him feel dazed for a moment.
Speaking of which, this seemed to be his first real exposure to sunlight.
Lan looked at the pedestrians in the streets and alleys. Some of these people were in a hurry, some were comfortable, and more or less had their own things to do.
Lan is a little uncomfortable,
This sudden feeling of freedom.
It's like being fired suddenly by the boss of the company.
"I don't know if the kid is okay?"
Qian Renxue's dirty face suddenly appeared in Lan's mind.
Why did I suddenly think of that kid?
It must be because I am too busy,
Looks like I need to find something to do.
Soon,
In the next six months, Lan embarked on a journey alone, traveling all over the country, and saw flowers blooming on the road, withering and blooming.
This has benefited him a lot.
The scenery along the way and the interesting things that happened made Lan feel the meaning of life for the first time, and also made him understand many truths.
It turns out that life without killing can really be so beautiful.
Just,
Not without killing.
Lan also encountered many pirates during these journeys.
But now Lan,
He is no longer the weak boy he was before.
He easily dispatched those pirates.
But, he couldn't go back to that summer.
Back to the day that changed his destiny
I don’t know why, but during the six months of traveling, Lan’s cultivation speed was many times faster than before.
Now Lan's soul power has reached level 70.
He only needs to obtain one more soul ring to enter the Soul Saint realm!
Twenty-year-old soul saint.
This talent has surpassed Tang Hao, the number one genius in the mainland today.
However, Lan, who is sneaking in the darkness, is destined to not enjoy the attention that belongs to him.
Even,
He has forgotten,
Today happens to be his twentieth birthday.
Happy birthday.
——Lan
Lan set off for the sea. His martial soul was of the shark type, and the soul ring he needed was preferably a sea soul beast.
Lan's Breath of the Deep Sea martial soul is very special. When he first awakened, he was still a young shark. As Lan obtained the soul ring, his soul power gradually changed.
And Lan will have an inexplicable affinity with the sea, as if the sea is his relative and partner.
Therefore, when Lan absorbed the soul ring on the sea, he could basically absorb the soul ring without any pain or even any hindrance.
This also resulted in the life span of all Lan's soul rings exceeding the limit.
Only Lan himself knows this secret.
Lan took out a map from his arms. The route on the ocean was depicted on the map, and the end point of the map was a place called Poseidon Island.
He captured this map from a pirate.
Lan is a soul master,
Cultivation and becoming stronger is what every soul master desires.
He is no exception.
"Poseidon Island, I hope it will be a good journey..."
