Chapter 21: Unlocking Ancient Magic Seeds!

Sparrow returned with two large carriages in just three days.

There were long hardwood bows in one carriage and arrows in the other.

Sparrow was curious about why Alan would buy bows and arrows.

After all, in his eyes, Rose Town did not have any reason to use these things. This was a waste of gold.

However, Lord’s decision couldn’t be changed by a financial officer at all.

“My Lord! I’m back!”

The middle-aged financial officer with a mustache and shrewd face seemed a little excited.

“Oh, Sparrow, this time you came back much faster than before.”

Alan smiled slightly.

“Haha, my lord, that’s because Viscount Elon has already fulfilled his promise. He’s starting to open up the business road. It will take him at most two weeks to clear the mountains.” Sparrow smiled.

Opening up the business road was the most important thing for the financial officer.

“Oh? I didn’t expect Elon to move so fast. Now we should prepare and go to town to choose some people. Let’s do it here to get through the business road as soon as possible!”

Alan said with a smile.

“Yes, My Lord. I’ll take care of it!”

Sparrow laughed. The moment he mentioned the business road, he naturally thought of gold coins. Things related to gold coins were his favorite.

“My Lord, there is one more thing. The hides you asked me to sell have all been sold, and I have also purchased some of your favorite collections of ancient magic species.”

As he was speaking, a servant behind Sparrow came up holding a small box.

“Look, these are some of the collections I have collected. It looks like they have been around for a few years. I wonder if you need them.”

Sparrow was a very smart person. He was smarter than everyone else. Others only respected and even worshiped Alan.

Sparrow, on the other hand, was trying to observe Alan’s preferences, and curry favor with him.

Alan was very satisfied with this.

“Very well, Sparrow, you are a clever man, and your cleverness will fill your future with brilliance.”

Alan smiled slightly, a hint of satisfaction appeared on his slightly immature face.

Sparrow suddenly bowed his head and said: “I will be glorious throughout my life by following you.”

After speaking, he left wisely.

Alan set his sights on the small box that Sparrow gave to him.

“Let me see what’s in it.”

Alan opened the first box, which was filled with all kinds of fur or bones.

It should be a beast or something from a magical beast.

However, he had touched a few items without any response from the system.

It showed that these were not the fur or bones of ancient magical creatures at all.

“Unexpectedly, those ancient magic seeds are not so easy to get even if they are fur…”

Alan chuckled and said indifferently.

He slid his finger slightly and was about to close the box.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the ancient magic sea lion beast! Bonus creature card sea lion beast*20!”

The sudden notification startled Alan for a moment before his face turned wild with joy.

Is there any kind of ancient magic?!

He took out the creature card of the sea lion beast. This dark blue creature card had a deeper color than the magical creature cards had unlocked earlier.

“Sea lion beast! Ancient magic species, a marine magical creature. Adult sea lion beasts can reach six meters in length and four meters in height!”

“The sea lion beast is proficient in water element magic and it is one of the powerful species in the ocean!”

Seeing the introduction of the sea lion beast, the smile on the corner of Alan’s mouth became more obvious.

“Sparrow did a great job. He helped me unlock the marine creatures in advance!”

Alan was delighted. “This time, I’m more and more looking forward to the arrival of the pirates.”

Earlier, he had only thought about passive defense because the current strength of Rose Town was not enough for him to have a maritime force.

They had no choice but to wait for the pirates to get close enough before they could attack.

It would be even better if he could take the initiative to attack.

Twenty sea lions were probably enough to make the pirates doubt their lives.

Alan put away the sea lion creature card and continued to stare at the fur bones in the small box with fiery eyes

He touched them with his hands one by one.

However, aside from the sea lion, he did not find any other ancient magic species.

Alan was not too disappointed about this either. After all, ancient magical species had unimaginable powers.

Those powerful species that had completely withdrawn from the mainland stage and only left a ray of brilliance in the historical record were almost invisible in this era.

They were far more powerful than today’s magic species, and he was already extremely happy to be able to unlock a sea lion beast.

In the next two weeks, Alan would keep a completely low profile and at the same time, he would secretly place the sea lion beast in the water.

Furthermore, he had already instructed them to not hurt the citizens of Rose Town, not to show their face, and to live in the sea a little further away.

When Alan needed them, he would naturally call them.

As Alan’s summoned creatures, they had a subtle connection with Alan that allowed him to contact them.

Of course, the premise was that the distance between them was not too far.

Two weeks passed in a flash.

When the night was getting dark, Alan suddenly received a reminder from the sea lion that unknown ships were slowly coming towards Rose Town.
