Although Ian showed the right expression of doubt, he did not ask any more questions, but waited for the Viscount's explanation.
As expected, Viscount Grant did not really wait for the two white people, one old and one young, to continue to compliment him, and continued on his own: "In fact, you should also be aware that if it is just an element crystal shell, it is impossible to make that
A doting Marquise sent her son to our rural place in Harrison Port."
When talking about the countryside, the Viscount did not laugh at himself at all, but explained it seriously.
He could even say calmly: "The Ellen family has three sons and two daughters. Our young master here is the third son. He has two half-brothers, one older sister and one biological younger sister."
"The blond middle-aged man who looks like his nose is on his forehead is his uncle, Patrick Ellen, general director of the Southern Region of the Platinum Iridium Workshop."
"The slightly hunched old man is one of the fifteen Royal Masters of the Royal Alchemy Association. He is also one of the two masters who are still teaching within the association. He was also my original alchemy mentor, Gosei.
Abed."
At this point, the Viscount did not continue because he believed that the two people present could understand the meaning of his words.
"indeed."
Elder Pude nodded thoughtfully: "Although strategic creatures are important, we really need to divide them into levels. A few first-level sublimators are enough - the elemental crystal shells are not considered Warcraft in nature. An ordinary reconnaissance
The team can complete the material recovery task."
"At most, a second-level leader can lead the team. This young master is worthy of this configuration, but the two of them are really a bit too grand."
"Patrick may not necessarily take action." Viscount Grant said: "The Ellen family is now very competitive within the family... Little Ethan's two brothers and the sister are not fuel-efficient lamps. Although Pat is not smart, he will not choose
Take sides—especially Ethan.”
——No, he has already chosen, but he did not choose Ethan.
Ian complained in his heart. He knew that the Viscount's speculation was correct. The reason why the blond noble came here could not be the element crystal shell. The other party was obviously not very interested in this task.
On the contrary, he had other things on his mind. Whether this was the real mission mentioned by the Viscount, or whether it was to assassinate his nephew... that was another matter.
"Anyway."
Viscount Grant concluded: "Aside from the elemental crystal shells, the Ellen family must have other agendas, and maybe even the elemental crystal shells are just a cover-up."
When the Viscount said this, his tone was decisive. Both Ian and Elder Puder knew very well that the other party must have obtained some information before he dared to be so sure.
In fact, this is indeed the case - with the specialty trade in recent years, Viscount Grant has a lot of channels in the imperial capital. Of course, it may also be because of his father's past favors. Most of his sources are very accurate.
"Pud, Ian."
The man looked at the two white people with bright eyes: "For you, these are all opportunities."
"Ian, your talent amazes me. You are also very smart and have not been tempted. You know that staying in Harrison Port is the best choice for you - but what Master Gosei said is not wrong. Compared with
I will indeed only delay your potential, so you must build a good relationship with Master Gosai on this mission."
"He is the only master in the Alchemy Association who is still educating the younger generation. He has a complete set of alchemy books in his hands. His collection of books is so rich and comprehensive that I am afraid there will be no second master in the entire empire. As long as he is willing to help you
, you don’t have to worry about the material for self-study at all.”

He turned his head and looked at Elder Pude: "Old guy, you have longed for the opportunity to lead your family to clear your reputation. The late emperor demoted you, but your Majesty now doesn't care too much. As long as you make contributions and show your value.
, getting back the surname is just around the corner.”
It has to be said that Viscount Grant did a very good job at piecing together the pie and guiding people. This ability has nothing to do with learning ability, but is a kind of innate instinct, which Ian also admires a lot.
However... Ian sensed a hint of urgency from the other party's words.
"Oh...I probably understand."
The boy Bai Zhimin had a glimmer of understanding in his heart: "If there is really a so-called real mission, it must be inseparable from the maze. It may even be a group of ruins!"
"Viscount Grant is also a descendant of the previous pioneering team. He should also be aware of the existence of the South China Sea Relics Group and regards it as a forbidden area. Therefore, he wants to pay close attention to the movements of this survey team and wants to use us as a nail to insert into it.
."
"We can indeed benefit, and we will definitely do our best. The survey team's mission will go more smoothly with the help of us locals, and he can also successfully obtain information. It is a win-win situation."
After giving these instructions, Ian left the Viscount's Mansion, while Elder Puder stayed behind. The two of them still had some government and military matters to discuss.
When leaving, he saw that Yam and Lamar were also in the lobby on the first floor of the Viscount Mansion. The two seemed to be chatting about something, and they both smiled and nodded to Ian as a greeting.
Because of the tasks of the Ellen family and the Imperial Capital, the top management of Harrison Port began to move again... maybe it was more than that.
But Ian doesn't care much about this.
Now, he pays more attention to his own strength.
"My sand armor apprentice has already cultivated three source organs. He has been improving his physical fitness in the past four years. Now he has fully adapted to it. It can be said that even when the teacher was at the first level, he should be able to do just that.
Between my brothers."
On the way home, Ian couldn't help but think about his own sublimation heritage.
Hilliard had said back then that because of Ian's super first-class source seed, his speed and quality of condensing source matter were far beyond ordinary sublimators. Even the descendants of great nobles would not choose someone like him for the sake of safety.
Radical high efficiency source species.
It is precisely because of such high-quality source seeds that Ian was able to quickly accumulate the source essence to build his own sublimation organs and became an official sublimator.
However, he was too young at that time, and even if he became an ascendant, he would not be able to fully exert his otherworldly power.
Until now.
Now, after four years of settling, Ian has reached what Hilliard said was the theoretical limit of the first level of the 'Sand Armor Apprentice'.
His three sublimation organs, 'Heart of Fertile Soil', 'Pure Rock Crystal Bone', and 'Sand Armored Rock Core' are all almost fully mature.
And the reason why he didn't completely fix them into their complete form was just because of a possibility that Hilliard told him at the beginning.
——There are speculations about the ‘Extreme Realm’ above the fifth energy level.
