"How is this possible... No, there is nothing impossible..."
Repeating in astonishment, the old man raised his head and looked at Ian. Elder Puder himself did not know how strange, how surprised, how scared and confused his current expression was.
He himself didn't even know what he was thinking, all his thoughts surged like a tide, and then calmed down quickly.
"No matter what I say, you will leave, right."
The old man, who knew the meaning of confessing all this, stared at the young man in front of him and said solemnly: "I can't stop you. You just want me to fulfill your will and achieve the future you want to see, right?"
"Yes."
Ian responded without hesitation, without hesitation or worry that these words might anger the old man in front of him: "But, that is the future we want to see together."
"What I can see is definitely not my future, elder. This is actually your will."
"It's just that you don't know yet."
silence.
"...Then let's go." Taking a long breath, Elder Puder closed his eyes and then opened them again: "Prophets are all arrogant... I didn't expect that even children are like this."
He reached out his hand and took the dazed Elan from Ian's hand.
"Take this." When taking Elan's hand, he also handed the thing on his waist to Ian.
The young man looked down and was slightly startled.
Because what appeared in his hand was a heavy silver old-fashioned gun.
"It's of no use to the second level." The old man said meaningless words: "But pay attention to safety."
"I will, Elder." Ian replied meaninglessly, and he whispered: "I will be back."
"elder brother……"
Elan spoke, and the boy grabbed the boy's clothes before Ian turned around and left.
His voice made the young man who wanted to leave silently sigh, and his indifferent expression relaxed.
"Elan, be obedient."
He knelt down and said softly: "Follow Elder Pude later, you will not be in danger."
"Brother, we want to go to the end of the world together."
And Elan spoke stubbornly, his purple eyes looking into the young man's eyes filled with psychic aura: "You and uncle... promised me!"
"I will."
Lowering his eyes, Ian said calmly. He put his head close to the boy's ear and whispered: "Don't worry, the treasure my uncle gave me is with me. There will definitely be no problem this time."
"Brother will not lie to you."
Smiling and telling lies, Ian could see that the purple psychic mark on Elan's head vibrated and flickered, transmitting all the sounds in the room.
The scarlet mist on Elan's body gradually became thinner.
Standing up, he turned his head without hesitation, opened the door to the room, and left.
The old man and the young child looked at his back and wanted to say something, but in the end they said nothing.
Ian took all the equipment and props and walked towards the Caotan Cliff in the south of the city.
He and Hilliard had made an agreement long ago. If something unexpected happened and the two sides were separated at a critical moment, then it would be a good place for Ian to set up some traps and facilities by gathering at Caotan Cliff.
Because most of the guards gathered towards the east of the city, and there were no guards in the southwest, the young man quickly circled out of the city, and then ran all the way towards Caotan Cliff.
If an Ascended One wants to run, their speed can easily exceed their theoretical physical limit.
Activate the essence, use the strengthened muscles, and let the optimized body structure serve as the support for your own strength... Every step can be taken ten meters away, even if it is vines and branches in the dense forest, facing an earth attribute
As far as the tough body of the Ascendant is concerned, it is nothing more than weak spider silk.
Along with the sound of footsteps one after another, all you can see on the ground are deep holes sunk into the ground, and a series of frightened birds and insects.
Don't worry about footprints, don't worry about traces, because the rain and fallen leaves brought by the storm will erase everything.
Ian can walk on flat ground in the jungle. After two years of Hilliard's most intense training, he has long been able to leap easily in this complex environment and turn into a swift shadow in the forest.
The rain kept falling.
Cuotan Cliff is wrapped in rolling dark clouds. The strong wind carries surging water vapor, blowing on the cliff. Waterfall-like water flows on the surrounding sandy beaches. Humid and warm sea fog and rain wash away the world between heaven and earth.
All things.
Turning on the precognitive vision, Ian quickly found Hilliard.
Just as the two of them agreed, the old man was sitting and resting quietly in a pit at the bottom of the Caotan Cliff. The golden halo on his body was already very dim and shallow, almost white.
"I brought hemostatic medicine. Brin apologized to me last time. It's the best stuff."
Without any unnecessary words, Ian came to the teacher's side and took out a jar of light cyan ointment that exuded a faint buttery fragrance from the package he was carrying.
"Um."
Hilliard also cooperated to show the wound on his abdomen. The old man's voice was a little weak, but his life was not in danger for the time being.
Ian treated the other party's wound silently. He first used the source material to stop Hilliard's bleeding, then pulled out the bone blade, and then applied ointment to fill the bloody wound on his abdomen. The old man's wound was visible to the naked eye.
It heals slowly, and within a few hours, at least half of the trauma will be healed.
"Drink medicine."
Ian picked up a small bottle of light red potion. It was a regeneration potion made from fertile soil leaves. It can accelerate the body's regeneration. If it is directly injected into the blood vessels, it can also be used as a substitute for plasma.
In fact, coconut water can also replace plasma, and the regenerative agent is more effective.
Hilliard did not lose too much blood, he was simply weak. After drinking the regeneration potion, he gradually regained his strength. At least he could open his eyes and look at the solemn boy in front of him, who was healing himself and filling him with medicine.
"What, did you lose?"
Realizing that his teacher was looking at him, Ian also responded. He was taking out a linen towel to dry the old man's face and hair: "They say that you have been in poor health recently, so you should take more rest."
"If he rests any longer, he will be even more invincible. Fortunately, I cut off one of his hands before so that he could not run. Otherwise, I would not be able to escape even if I walked."
Hilliard stretched out his hand and rubbed the boy's hair and said with a wry smile: "I'm still old. I didn't expect that I'd never been beaten... Hey, he's pretty good. Why didn't you see that he was quite talented back then?
"
"If you could tell, he would have been dead a long time ago."
Not caring that his hair was messed up by the teacher, Ian calmly pointed out this. Hilliard sighed and changed the subject: "Has Elan settled down?"
"Well, leave it to Elder Pude."
Ian said calmly: "After all, the inheritance is with me, they can't find it."
Hilliard blinked, and he quickly realized what Ian meant.
Yes, Wei Gesi's psychic power can eavesdrop on the sounds around the mark. If he fought with the opponent and was stabbed by the opponent's arm bone, he must have been attacked.
"Nonsense!"
So, the next moment, he raised his voice: "I gave you the inheritance to keep, just hoping that it would not fall into the hands of others! You should give the treasure to Elan, and then send him away from Harrison Port. Why are you taking it with you!"
"How could I give up as a teacher?"
Smiling slightly, Ian did not say any lines.
"I would be happier if you didn't come." Hilliard didn't say any lines.
Following this half-truth and half-false atmosphere, they said some words to confuse Wiggs, and then they performed the whole trick.
"What's going on?"
After the play was over, Ian asked rather puzzledly.
At this time, Hilliard's physical condition had stabilized a lot, but it was difficult to move due to lack of source material and physical strength. Therefore, he asked the teacher about the cause of everything: "You said that Wiggs came here for the truth about the Dark Moon turmoil...
…Then what’s the truth?”
"It's still difficult for me to understand. I can only describe to you what I saw and heard back then."
After a moment of silence, the old man glanced sideways at the boy and said with complicated eyes: "As you guessed before, I am a knight of the late Emperor Inaga II."
"And the Dark Moon Rebellion was an action by a group of rebels headed by Crown Prince Ambid to assassinate His Majesty."
