Chapter Four After Midnight

Sled Street is located at the southernmost point of Bolang Town, and is also the place where most residents live when this town was originally the village of Bolang. With the prosperity of tourism, more residents moved north and moved to the road connecting the intersection of Bolang Scenic Area and next to train stations. It started hotels and other services related to tourists. Sled Street became deserted.

Wang Ning walked past the paper pockets containing two huge toast bread and a bottle of orange jam, and passed the old wooden houses with signs of worrying about collapse in front of the building. He came to No. 11-a, Sleigh Street, a wooden house smaller than other houses. This is also Wang Ning's home. Standing at the door, Wang Ning carefully put his pockets next to the door, because opening this old wooden door requires hands and feet. If you hold the thing in your hand and break the glass bottle of jam on the ground when opening the door, it will be no more than the loss.

After putting his pocket, Wang Ning took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole, twisted it a little, then kicked it a few times in the lower half of the door, and then heard a creaking sound, and the old and broken wooden door was finally opened.

The house is not big. In the space of more than ten square meters, except for a room with a table and a bed, the remaining area is just enough for the toilet and kitchen. The furniture in the room is also old and valuable. There were some valuable things in the past, but the old man Barnes sold them and paid Wang Ning the tuition fee for the sale.

Wang Ning first lit the lantern on the table, then put the food in the kitchen. After a sound of pots and pans, Wang Ning returned to the table with the prepared jam sandwich. The sandwich was very large, almost twice as much as before. Wang Ning still listened to what the fat staff member said. He had a higher chance of getting enough to awaken his bloodline ability.

After comfortably finishing the most sumptuous meal in the three years since the death of Old Man Barnes, Wang Ning quietly took out the textbook of Bolang class and began to preview the content of the chapter on exploring the Dark Clan, while also waiting for the passage of time.

"I'm not sixteen years old yet? What if I woke up in these few hours?" Wang Ning read the book for a while, but although he looked very quiet, he was worried and could not read the book at all.

So Wang Ning decisively gave up reading and lay down on the bed. Then he picked up a black and white photo at the head of the bed. With the dim light of the lantern, Wang Ning looked at a man and a woman in the photo holding a baby and laughing happily. From the characteristics of the man's appearance, it can be concluded that this man's race is a yellow race that accounts for more than 70% of the population of the Aslam continent, while women are not easy to judge. It may be a brown race in the Osmarin continent, or a white race in the Osmarin continent. Because the brown race in the Osmarin continent and the white race in the Osmarin continent are very similar, and the women in the photo also meet these characteristics. However, the photos are black and white, and the skin color is not visible at all, so it is impossible to judge the woman's race.

These two are Wang Ning's parents. The baby being held in the photo is Wang Ning when he was a child. The towering snow-capped mountain in the background of the photo is Bolang Peak. After Wang Ning's parents took this photo, they threw him to a hotel for foster care. Then the two set out to climb the top of Bolang Peak. Since then, the two have never come back.

The beauty of Beau Bang is limited to the mountains. Beau Bang can be displayed in the ski resort, and you can soak comfortably and quickly for several hours in the natural hot spring pool. Whether rich or poor, you can have a glass of ice-cold beer next to the hot spring pool. This cross between cold and hot will make people feel a fantasy, and countless people are fascinated by this. This is also the reason why more and more people come to Beau Bang to travel.

However, above the mountain, there will be another situation, where there will be snow that never melts all year round, the bitter mountain wind, the rugged rocks, and the road is difficult, but these difficult environments have attracted another group of people - climbers and explorers. Countless climbers are proud of conquering Beaulang. Every year, hundreds of climbers come here to try to climb Beaulang, but few successful people have been recorded. So far, there are only eight people who have successfully conquered Beaulang, but these eight people are all guys with a bloodline of level 6 or above. On the mountain, nearly a hundred people die or disappear due to avalanches, slips or some other reasons every year, and Wang Ning's parents are two of them.

Later, Barnes, the owner of the hotel, took the initiative to take care of Wang Ning. Wang Ning sometimes thought, not knowing whether he was lucky or not. Although he had lost his parents since childhood, Barnes, a kind and widowed old man, raised and cared for Wang Ning just like his own son. Ten years passed. When Wang Ning was ten years old, an unexpected fire destroyed Barnes' hotel. After losing his source of income, the life of the old man and his children suddenly became difficult. The old man used his small savings to buy this small house in the sled street, and then went to do odd jobs every day to provide the two with some bits of copper coins to live. However, the old man, who was 70 years old, was getting worse every day. Three years passed. It was still winter. After Wang Ning came home from school, he found that the old man was sleeping in bed forever.

While sorting out the relics, Wang Ning discovered a notebook, which was the travel notes of her mother Elizabeth, which recorded the story of her journey in beautiful fonts. In the story, her footprints are all over Aslan and various places in Orbis. In the story, she met the person in her life, that is, Wang Ning's father, Wang Mu, and another explorer with footprints all over the world. The two met in a bar. When they saw each other, they both understood that their other half had appeared in this life, the same dreams and the same hobbies, and the next time, the trip changed from one person to two people. Then, naturally, Wang Ning was born, and the trip changed from two people to two people plus one baby. Later, the two disappeared, leaving only one baby.

Wang Ning flipped his body on the bed and took out the basic potion from his arms. There was a rumor from that, after he was sixteen years old, the earlier he used the potion, he would have a greater chance of gaining bloodline abilities. Therefore, Wang Ning decided that if he did not wake up from his own luck in the last few hours, then when the bell rings in the bell tower in the town, he would drink the bottle of potion.

·······

When you are not paying attention, time passes quickly, but when you are waiting, it passes extremely slowly.

Finally, Wang Ning, who was rolling on the bed countless times, heard the sound of the midnight bell.

Wang Ning did not wake up himself.

After the bell was over, Wang Ning had unscrewed the cap of the potion glass bottle, and a faint fragrance came from the bottle. It smelled as good as the floral honey that Old Man Barnes often bought for him when he was a few years old, but after the hotel was burned, he hadn't drunk it for many years.

Wang Ning drank the entire bottle of potion with a decisive and hopeful expression.

This cottage does not have a heating steam stove. In winter, the temperature inside and outside the house is no different. Even if Wang Ning is wrapped in his only super thick quilt, he will not feel very warm.

But as soon as this sweet potion reached the stomach, a warm heat radiated from the stomach and wandered to all parts of the body. According to the records, as long as the body became hot, it was possible to unlock some blood power. At this time, the excited Wang Ning instantly felt the warmth of spring.

But this warmth comes quickly and goes quickly. In just a few ten seconds, the warmth disappears, as if it has never appeared. According to previous records, to unlock bloodline power, the body will have at least three minutes of fever.

In an instant, Wang Ning was thrown back to the cold winter.

Wait a little longer, maybe there will be fever in a while, Wang Ning comforted himself and thought.

But ten minutes passed, and the warm feeling never came out of the stomach again.

Wait a little longer, maybe I can wait a while. After I awaken my bloodline, I don’t have to work anymore. I don’t have to eat only five points of full every meal. I can also live in a warm room with a steam stove. Wait a little longer.

Twenty minutes passed, and the warm feeling still did not appear again.

At this moment, Wang Ning was already in tears. He had no blood power, no powerful ability, and no family to help him take care of his. He seemed to have seen his hopeless future.

Forget it, I have to live anyway, and the future will definitely be better. Wang Ning wiped away his tears. After the hotel was burned, the old man often kept this sentence and encouraged him. After the old man left, Wang Ning would also talk to himself like this with this sentence to encourage himself every time he setbacks, but a better future seems to have not yet arrived, and I don’t know when it will come.

Wang Ning seemed to suddenly remember something, and got up from the bed, walked into the kitchen, and found a small bottle of vodka and a glass in the storage cabinet. The bottle of wine was bought by Old Man Barnes when he was alive. Wang Ning has been collecting it and is preparing to celebrate his successful unlocking of bloodline power, but it seems that there is no need to celebrate now.

Then Wang Ning went out with a horse lantern.

He wanted to talk to Old Barnes now.
