Ian had indeed been prepared for the fact that he would be targeted by the person behind Sai Nan.
No matter who the other person is, whether he is good or bad, it is definitely not wrong to discuss it with your elders first.
"Sainan was entrusted by someone to identify fluorescent algae on his behalf, but you sensed the signs of a change in the maze?"
"Do you think the other party is not stupid and will soon realize that you saw the danger in the maze and will be noticed?"
"You want me to talk to Viscount Grant about labyrinth-related issues and remind him to prepare early to prevent coastal disasters caused by mutations. By the way, who is he?"
At that time, Elder Puder was auditing the account books in the Presbytery Hall. Four years had not made him many wrinkles, but he had put on a pair of glasses.
The old man wearing glasses stroked his beard in confusion and said: "Sai Nan shouldn't have the courage. If nothing else, where did he get the brains to lie to people? Where did he get the courage to lie to you?"
"That's true." Ian thought for a while and felt that it was true: "But the disaster omen is real - there are only four to eight years left before the maze is fully formed. It is estimated that it will be fully formed around the next big storm."
He reminded: "Elder, didn't the Viscount always want to monopolize the treasures of the maze? I guess that group of people must have come for the maze. If they are not crazy and dangerous people, their background is probably not small. This should also be related to
He mentioned it."
"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't know that the Viscount wanted to monopolize the maze." The old man Bai Zhimin shook his head.
He stared at the account book in his hand and said slowly: "And I see that he is not very interested in the labyrinth itself, and he did not stop the labyrinth researchers sent by the empire. He obviously has other ideas."
"But I do have to say that it's not our turn to take the lead in this kind of thing - even if we do, someone has to endorse us."
"And... Sainan, right."
After saying this, Elder Pu De frowned.
Because of this keyword, he thought of something, then raised the account book in his hand, glanced at it carefully, and nodded slightly: "He is currently cooperating with the Platinum and Iridium Workshop, and it was a job that the Viscount himself introduced to me, saying that he owed me a favor.
I want you to recommend a captain who is reliable and has a strict mouth."
"I recommended him."
"Platinum and Iridium Workshop?" As an alchemist, Ian is also very aware of the power of this workshop with the logo of the Royal Alchemy Society of the Empire. He can't help but sigh: "What a great background."
"Well, it's a big force. It seems that it is indeed coming for the maze that is gradually becoming active. It can be considered a normal process."
Chewing on this word, the old man seemed to have some enlightenment and murmured to himself: "Is it the two mentors from the Royal Alchemy Society, or the Marquis family..."
Until Ian left, Elder Puder did not tell him the results of his thinking. He only told him that Sainan's client had multiple backgrounds, involving a marquis family, the Alchemy Association and the will of the imperial capital. It was also Viscount Grant who was in the imperial capital that year.
If you are an acquaintance, give face to each other.
Other than that, he didn't say much.
Facing a prophet, speaking out random guesses that are not certain will mislead the other person's thinking.
And Ian didn't care, because he already got the answer he wanted.
"In this case, as long as you refuse, Uncle Sainan should be safe."
The young man thought: "When I go to the pier to buy fish later, let's check on him."
Regardless of the Platinum and Iridium Workshop, the Royal Alchemy Society or the Marquis Family, they are all larger forces than Ian thought before.
But this can be said to be good news, proving that the danger Sai Nan will encounter is not related to people, but to the content of his next mission.
Ian was originally worried that what Sainan had encountered was some unruly bounty hunter, or an agent of the Canaan Moore pirates...
This kind of people, if they find a resource point in the distant sea, they will basically grab it and leave.
If Sainan and the others really accidentally discovered a sea area where a large amount of this kind of fluorescent algae was produced due to the mutation in the maze, they would definitely be killed and silenced after identification.
Then, this group of people plundered the place of origin and left.
Although the fate of these people was definitely to be exterminated, and finally hanged in Harrison Harbor or the square and coast of some other city port, and their bodies were fed to seabirds and fish.
But people cannot be resurrected after death.
The big forces, on the other hand, stick to some rules.
After all, they set the rules themselves.
Although they also rob things and eat people, when they rob money and eat people, they will consider the sustainability of fishing, and they will be more far-sighted, and they will not be so cerebral as to provoke local snakes and make themselves difficult.
"The mutation in the maze will indeed pose a threat to Harrison Port. It is considered a natural disaster, but depending on the density of the black fog, it is not difficult to withstand it by taking preventive measures. At least it is much better than a major storm."
At this time, Ian has arrived at the pier. This street was originally damaged when the crocodile dragon entered the city. It was rebuilt three years ago and is almost exactly the same as before.
Wearing a hood, he was in a relatively relaxed mood: "As for the man-made disaster, it must be the indigenous people? I have long seen that Viscount Grant is proud of raising bandits, but this time it seems that it is not just them, the Ellen family must also bring some
Some trouble came over."
"If I were approached by the Platinum and Iridium Workshop, maybe it would actually be a good thing - many of the alchemy instruments in my workshop are second-hand, not to mention that I still don't have a complete set of inscription tools."
Ian is not boasting. With his original skills, he learned alchemy and inscriptions from scratch, and was able to cross the two professional levels of 'apprentice' and 'junior' in four years, and directly move towards the second level that can compete with him.
The official bachelor's impact can only be described as sparse and ordinary.
If there were no further notes from the classics and no experimental equipment to study on his own, he might have tried to prepare an elite potion long ago.
After all, Ian himself is also very interested in the labyrinth that is attached to the "Relics Group of Pre-Era Civilization" in the depths of the South China Sea.
The teacher's mission is to quell the abnormal movements of the ruins group. Although the maze does not completely represent the ruins group, there is no doubt that if he can get close to the maze and analyze its essence, Ian can also learn more about the nature of the ruins group.
.
It can even be said that with the silver chip and precognitive vision, he can collect enough information just by taking a look.
Nowadays, a change in the maze is coming, and a big force like the Platinum Iridium Workshop is taking the lead in exploring it.
Ian felt that he could sneak in as an ordinary, young, and somewhat keen appraiser, and use the opponent's strength to take advantage of the situation to see what the current situation of the maze and ruins was like!
It's nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree. He is an ordinary alchemist and wave chanter, so he must be able to hide behind and follow the team!
As for possible dangers...
Ian is not worried about this.
Because, in the past four years, Ian's biggest gain was not alchemy and inscriptions.
Instead, with the help of the silver chip, two sets of sublime inheritance have been integrated!
