Rebirth: The New Game of Life

442 Catharina, the Pirate of Greed

The Ling clan was not considered a super clan, but also was not weak, because of the lack of ancestors of level 900 and rank 9, they did not have a super clan status, the Ling clan was considered only great.

Despite this, many super clans and sects still respected them because the elder brother of the clan patriarch Ling was the husband of the matriarch of the Xiao clan. This increased the status and influence of the Ling clan.

Currently, Liu Yang and Ling Xi were inside the main mansion of the Ling clan, they were looking for information left by Ling clan's old woman before she committed suicide.

Inside the old couple's room was a small box one with an entry device that was the same size as the medallion. After fitting the item, Ling Xi dripped a drop of blood on top, a strong light appeared, the inside of the box was an old parchment and a crystal of image.

Ling Xi was shocked when he read the letter, he also showed Liu Yang the contents of the letter to see if he would know anything. The message on the letter was as follows.

"Two hundred years ago, my husband and I were traveling the worlds to see the sights and explore secret realms together, our grandson had come back to the clan after traveling with us for several dozen years, as it was time for him to learn more things.

During our trip, we encountered a strange artifact that was stuck on the wall, my husband was curious to know what that artifact was, after following the instructions and he threw a drop of blood into the artifact, which seconds later, began to shine and my husband fainted then.

I panicked at first, but soon I calmed down after remembering that it might be an inheritance process, but I did not know whose heritage it was, for there were strange letters beside the text of instruction, these letters seemed to be of some sort strange or ancient language that no longer exists in the Nine Worlds. I recorded the images of the texts in the image crystal.

After a few months my husband woke up, but I did not know that from that day on, his personality would gradually change. The man who had always been kind and gentle with me began to get cold and distant, because of that, I focused on my grandson as my husband was wandering the world.

I do not know what happened to my husband during the inheritance challenge, but I know one thing happened within the challenge and that changed my husband forever.

My dear children, if you are reading this, I ask that you never go to that place, for if you try to challenge the challenge of inheritance and fail like your father, you will also change. So try your best to avoid that location."

As he finished reading the letter, Liu Yang was not surprised by the contents of the letter, for he already imagined something like that when he remembered information about the old Ling couple. The old couple who were loving and always were together, but one day they decided to separate and each traveled on their own. This shows that something must have happened to the couple.

What left Liu Yang curious was the strange letters that the old woman had never seen before, he thought it might be the letters of some kind of alphabet from his previous world.

"Uncle, could you show the images of the crystal? Let's see what kind of weird texts the old woman said" Liu Yang should call the old woman as grandma since he was Ling Xi's son-in-law, but he did not because he was annoyed by the fact that the old woman cursed Fang Luoyang in the Xiao clan. Ling Xi knew this and he could only sigh about it.

Activating the crystal, the images of the place where the old Ling clan couple have appeared, the old man was lying on the old woman's lap. The images of the text began to appear, Liu Yang immediately knew what language it was, while Ling Xi had a curious look on his face, for he had never seen those letters before.

(English!!!) Liu Yang exclaimed in his mind, he began to read the text and was shocked at what he read.

"Hello, my name is Catharina, the Pirate of Greed, if you can get this text, know that you will be ahead of the other competitors. Here are written instructions on how the challenge will be, the challenge itself is quite simple. Have a strong heart and will.

My inheritance test will be to test your heart and will, for I will be testing your greed. If you succeed, you will receive my class inheritance and my treasures, but if you fail, you will be controlled by your deepest desires and live only by desire, nothing more."

That was what was written in English, the words that were in the language of the Nine Worlds was just the instruction to activate the artifact of the challenge of inheritance. Those who did not know how to read in English had a great disadvantage because they would not know what the challenge would be.

Liu Yang understood that the old man had failed the challenge and was controlled by his desires and later, he found the Remnants, and his situation became much worse. Liu Yang had some information about this woman named Catharina, according to the history books, Catharina had a special power, she could feel the presence of rare and precious treasures when she was some distance from it.

This caused her to be persecuted by the Nine Worlds, many super clans and sects wanted to kidnap her to use her power, but they were never able to because she always ran away because of her class that was specialized in an escape.

After many years of being persecuted, Catharina created a group of pirates and began to kill and steal treasures of the great clans and sects that tried to kidnap her. After thousands of years of robbery, she has amassed an absurd amount of treasure.

In the end, she was betrayed by her subordinates because of greed, Catharina managed to get away with all the treasures that her pirate group has plundered for thousands of years. She hid and was never seen again.

...

"Uncle, could you destroy this crystal image?" Liu Yang said with a serious tone.

"Boy, why do you want to destroy this crystal?" Ling Xi was surprised to hear Liu Yang's words.

"I can only say that the inheritance of this person is not something that an ordinary person can take, even the most outstanding ones would not be able to." Liu Yang spoke in a profound way.

"Boy, did you get to read those strange texts?" Listening to Liu Yang's words, Ling Xi was shocked internally when he thought of this possibility, he never imagined that Liu Yang could read ancient and extinct languages.

"I can read some things, but this inheritance can cause many problems if the wrong person tries to get it"

"This inheritance belongs to whom?" Ling Xi was curious to know the owner of the inheritance.

"This heritage was created by Catharina, the Pirate of Greed"
