After the 'drama' arranged by Viscount Grant ended with an excellent and even unexpected ending, Viscount Grant encouraged everyone, and then invited Elder Puder and Ian to the Viscount Mansion to continue.
Discuss follow-up details.
He will explain to Ian why he was arranged to be the protagonist and perform such an arranged drama in front of the Ellen family.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
On the way, Elder Puder noticed Ian's frown and thoughtful expression, and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I just feel a little sad about the relationship between nobles. It's really hard to understand."
Ian's answer made the elder mistakenly think that he was talking about the relationship between Viscount Grant and Patrick, so the old man smiled and said: "They did have some conflicts in the past... but conflicts are better than no relationship at all, not to mention that Lord Patrick actually
Yes, his strong support indeed saved Port Harrison’s life.”
Having said this, the elder showed an expression of reminiscence. He let out a long sigh. The old man could not forget those difficult years.
"Yes."
Ian's original view of Patrick was the same as that of Elder Puder, who was indeed a tough talker.
If a real acquaintance is in trouble, no matter what his mentality is, he will really help - this is considered a kind heart.
But now, he narrowed his eyes and felt confused.
"A fairly 'good' nobleman, a good man who would really help his friends, an uncle who does seem gentle on the surface...why would he assassinate his nephew?"
Yes.
With the hostility he finally sensed in Patrick, Ian understood immediately.
The second layer of inscription structure on the Blue Flame Bracelet is the handiwork of this good uncle of the Ellen family!
At first, the other party might just want Isengard to talk to him more, to get close to him or something, but he didn't expect that the blond boy was so straightforward that he directly asked about his skills, and then he chose the Blue Flame Bracelet without hesitation.
, which surprised him even more.
But in fact, up to this point, everything was fine...until I actually saw something, the other party was surprised, and became hostile to me...and even had a deep murderous intention in an instant!
"My uncle was actually the mastermind behind the murder of his nephew, and no one else discovered it... Why is this? It's really hard to understand."
Ian struggled for a while: "And the murderous intention is even more unreasonable - although I have exposed his conspiracy, killing me will not solve the problem, and he does not seem to be someone who would kill to vent his anger... This
There must be something hidden behind it!"
Although, facing the murderous intention of a second-level imperial noble.
But he wasn't too worried
Because the killing intention was just killing intention, Patrick was not reckless, or stupid enough to do it openly.
Let's not talk about whether he can kill himself. From an emotional point of view, the other party's emotions are more of shock and disbelief, anger and bewilderment. He has no idea why such a thing can be exposed. Although the murderous intention is building up,
But there was no plan at all.
Moreover, this nobleman was not nervous, did not worry at all that he would be suspected, and did not reveal even the slightest flaw.
So even if he really wants to take action, it will definitely not be now, but only after he has a detailed plan.
"Patrick's inscription skills are definitely not good enough to create a second composite inscription structure - there must be others behind him. This is definitely not his own madness, but a manifestation of the internal struggle behind the Ellen family. ...Hey, the relationship between nobles is really difficult to understand."
And Ian couldn't help but sigh: "This gentleman from the Imperial Capital who seems to be just a little arrogant is actually a man who can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger."
"Everyone thinks that he is simple-minded and just a moody guy, but in fact, he can hide his true purpose so that there is no doubt about his goal."
"Don't underestimate anyone."
With such emotion, he and Elder Pude came to the Viscount Mansion and entered the study on the second floor.
Viscount Grant, who had returned early, was waiting for them in front of a large map of South Ridge.
"The Ellen family and the Imperial Royal Alchemy Association have joined forces for His Majesty's mission today."
The Viscount stared at the map. He took out a pen and drew a circle in the sea area near Tenglan. He said straightforwardly: "Element Crystal Shell - a new magical beast discovered by an unaffiliated adventurer about eight months ago." Appeared in this sea area, near the Luminous Sea."
Turning his head, Viscount Grant motioned to Ian and Elder Puder to come forward and look at the map: "That is a special kind of 'strategic organism' that can produce extremely high-purity natural element crystals."
Gu Yao
"The team of unaffiliated adventurers was recruited by the Platinum Iridium Workshop. They also reported the news to the empire. The empire's senior officials attached great importance to this, so they sent a team to confirm the authenticity of the information. If possible, capture Fan Zhong, Take it back to the imperial capital for research."
"They're the team."
Ian nodded and said, he had already guessed this: "The Ellen family is here just for this credit."
At this moment, he also understood why Sai Nan came to him for identification with the bunch of fluorescent algae - because the bunch of fluorescent algae came from the luminous sea area of Tenglan Department, where the element crystal shells are produced.
The reason why the other party wants to identify it is probably to obtain data on the local fluorescent algae and other crystal shell companion plants to prepare for subsequent breeding and cultivation of element crystal shells.
Moreover, both the elemental crystal shells and the fluorescent algae were born due to the mutation in the maze... So it is not wrong to say that their survey team came here for the maze!
"Indeed. This is a direct order from His Majesty the Emperor. The current wife of Marquis Ellen is His Majesty's second daughter. Although she has no blood, she is quite favored. She won this mission for her biological son."
Nodding, Viscount Grant said calmly: "This is a great achievement - element crystals are strategic materials. Although the empire already has the original strategic breeding organisms to obtain stable element crystals, no one can have too much."
"This is a great achievement, and it is impossible for us not to have a hand in it."
Element crystals are essentially 'artificial gems' that are materialized and do not have any attribute tendencies or inscription structures. If gems activate the power of spiritual energy, then element crystals activate the power of source matter.
When he said this, the person the Viscount looked at was Elder Puder - the old man Bai Zhimin nodded silently, but frowned, as if he was deep in thought.
Ian was also silent. He knew very well that this was the goodwill released by the Viscount.
The White People of Harrison Port are exiled and relegated people. They used to be the last remnants of the famous labyrinth researchers in the imperial capital, the "Cejalolvo Family", but now only Elder Puder is left who still remembers this identity.
Relegation is not absolute. If he said he would never forgive, then the late emperor could throw the members of the Cejalrovo family to the real front line, such as the Feiyan Desert... As long as they make enough contributions, the White People may not be undesirable.
Return your surname, become a noble once again, and regain your glory.
This mission may be a good opportunity... After all, it was the former emperor who demoted the Chehalolvo family, and the current emperor is the land-keeper Axel.
As long as there is enough merit, the other party does not mind pardoning the sins of the White People. This is something that has many precedents.
"This requires your strength."
This time, the Viscount was talking to Ian.
Viscount Grant looked at Ian seriously, but his tone was with a relaxed smile: "You did a really good job, Ian, your performance...well, far beyond my expectations, but I don't
Surprised, because you are indeed such a genius."
"Although a fourteen-year-old first-level ascendant has only a low-level heritage like the Wavesinger, he is still talented enough to be a prodigy... If I advance to the third level in the future and have more capital, I will consider giving it to
Your second-level Siren inheritance."
Upon hearing this, both Ian and Elder Puder were surprised, and then thanked them in unison.
"Um."
As expected, he accepted the thanks from the two people and slowly sat back down behind his desk. The Viscount put his hands on his chin and said calmly: "Ian, as expected, next time I and I will
When Patrick and Master Gosei discuss, you will become the appraiser accompanying their exploration team - as a remnant of the Cejalrovo family and as my subordinate."
Viscount Grant is very good at borrowing flowers to offer to Buddhas, and he is a white wolf with nothing... just like he used to borrow Mr. Yinfang's magic plant to show his favor to Master Gosei, and now he uses Ian's ability and work to help him participate in the emperor's mission.
.
But no one would think there is anything wrong with this, because he is the link between people - without the diligence of his master and apprentice, no matter how much Master Gosei thinks highly of Ian, he will not be able to succeed.
Will try to bring Ian closer to his team.
It is absolutely harmful and useless for people without background to join their team.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this talent in interpersonal communication that Viscount Grant was exceptionally well-informed and led Port Harrison through the most critical moment, accomplishing things that even the old Viscount Grant might not be able to do.
But this is also a shortcoming... Apart from the field of diplomacy, although Viscount Grant is still talented in sublimation skills, he knows nothing about inscriptions and alchemy, so that the maintenance of the etheric weapons requires the help of Elder Puder and Ian.
Done.
Knowing this, Ian continued to listen to Viscount Grant's reminder: "Don't worry too much, this is not a dangerous mission. The Tenglan tribe has almost broken up with the Shantide tribe. Even the great shaman still has the ability to order the totem master."
authority, but they can no longer be harmonious and unified, and there won’t be much danger at sea.”
"The only problem is the Warcraft, but with Patrick and Master Gosei here, even if the two giant eels appear together, they may not be able to really hurt you."
Saying this, the brown-haired and blue-eyed nobleman nodded seriously: "You said what you need to do is to come back as safely as possible, give full play to your strength, and let them be impressed by you and think that you are a talent.
, is an excellent appraiser.”
"Then, maybe, maybe, they will reveal to you their 'real mission' for this operation!"
"Huh."
Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but be stunned.
He and the Viscount looked at each other and said with some confusion: "The real mission?"
