Viscount Grant smiled and told his old friend the good news: "It belongs to Crendel."
"Ah……"
Staring blankly at his smiling old friend, Pude subconsciously took another sip of wine, smacked his mouth, and said in disbelief: "I thought... you were serious?"
"I thought you were just playing..." He muttered in a low voice.
"In the beginning, I liked them all. Maybe I liked Lamar a little more, but Crendel is also very good. She is a good woman."
Viscount Grant did not have any mood swings because of Puder's words, because normal imperial nobles would be like this, and he was actually no exception. He was a real scumbag in terms of emotions.
It's just that he, who has always been childless, suddenly has an heir. This feeling... is indeed very strange.
It's amazing enough to change a person.
"In recent years, Clendel has been working hard to cultivate, and finally cultivated the first-level 'Lizard Whale' bloodline... You understand the meaning, Pude, in just four years, I did not invest any extra
With the resources, she completed the most basic practice. What she gave birth to was a true heir who could inherit the blood of the Grant family!"
With such emotion, the Viscount shook his head and said: "It's just a little slower than Lamar. Their brother and sister...are indeed my right-hand man."
"Of course." Thinking of something, the Viscount looked at Puder with a smile: "You can't compare with Ian."
"Ayers!" Puder raised his voice and said, "Pay attention."
"Don't you understand me after all these years? He doesn't have red hair, so what are you worried about?" The Viscount didn't care. He lay on the sofa and muttered to himself yearningly: "And what should I say...although it is a bit strange,
But I do feel that I am completely different from the past."
At this point, he paused for a while, and then changed the subject: "Pude, when my father told me that you were the biggest helper who could help me stabilize Harrison Port, I didn't believe it at the time, but now it has been proven that it is true.
in this way."
"Although Yam is loyal to me and is a good friend of mine, he is not capable enough and can only complete the tasks I gave him. He does not have his own ideas... This is not bad, but it would be better if he was smarter."
"Lamar is very capable, but he is still too young and naive in some aspects... It is not a bad thing now, but he may make mistakes if he is alone."
"Only you..."
"Oh, sir..." he said in a longer tone. Elder Puder already knew what the Viscount wanted to say.
He also understood why the other party wanted to keep him here, so he smiled and shook his head and said: "That guy Ian, I don't think your son can suppress him... I can't suppress him either, you can't even tell.
"
He already knows that Ayers has indeed changed: "Can you tell? He...isn't like us."
The old man sighed softly and praised from the bottom of his heart: "He is the kind of person who can get glory when he goes out!"
"Yes, I can't help it... It's the first time I saw Teacher Gosei show that kind of look to a young child... It's like looking at a rare treasure, wanting to touch it, but afraid of getting his old hands dirty.
Got him."
Narrowing his eyes, Viscount Grant whispered to himself: "Even Teacher Gosser thinks that he may not be able to grasp it, so what virtue and ability can I have?"
"But so what?"
Raising his head and looking at the rain clouds gradually gathering outside the window, the Viscount narrowed his blue eyes.
He said slowly: "At that time, he will leave Harrison Port, right? But no matter what, Harrison Port is his hometown... He cannot completely give up here, and my child will be the lord here. "
"In the past, I might not want to let go and eliminate those uncontrollable 'elements', but now I gradually understand... I have to leave some room."
"You have to save some," the man repeated.
Elder Puder was silent for a while, and then he sighed: "You have done a very good job, two big storms..."
"Don't say so much, Pude."
The Viscount raised his hand, knocked on the table, and said calmly: "Ian is the only genius I can cultivate here, and I will definitely not let him go now... But the teacher is right, Harrison Port will only bury him , this is of no benefit to me at all.”
Valley Green
"If this time, he can successfully get credit among the Ellen family, I will use the connections left by my father to go to the imperial capital to apply for the status of an 'official knight' for him."
"In addition, he will definitely have the status of an official alchemist in the future, and he will be able to travel all over Terra, and the nobles cannot underestimate him."
Because he was too shocked, the elder didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's time to say thank you," the Viscount prompted.
Viscount Grant laughed. He continued to lie comfortably on the sofa and looked at the passing clouds in the sky: "I actually don't have much ambition. I just want this port, named after my father, to be able to Continue and grow bigger and more prosperous.”
"I just want my father's name, and the name of our family, to leave a mark in this world. And one day, I will also leave my mark, such as building an 'Ayers' to guide merchant ships in the South China Sea." Lighthouse, what do you think?"
"good idea."
Elder Pude took another sip of Bee Fungus Wine: "But it costs too much money now, there are not enough merchant ships, and the indigenous Tide Spirit has not yet been solved..."
"Just wait, maybe it can be fixed when your child grows up."
With that said, he wanted to grab the wine bottle, but was snatched away by the Viscount who had been watching: "I'll pour it for you!"
"No, how can I trouble you, noble sir, to pour wine for me, a commoner..."
"Shut up, or don't drink. Sip slowly and learn how to drink from a high-end bar!"
…
Platinum and Iridium Workshop.
"... Do you really want to take that child with you? A Wavesinger has just been practicing for less than half a year. With such strength... I will have to focus on protecting him when the time comes. It will be troublesome to have Yisen."
A middle-aged man's voice sounded in the guest room, and an old voice responded calmly: "Of course. Patrick, at your level, you can't understand an appraiser who can detect the second layer of inscription structure in the blue flame bracelet. The gold content.”
In Master Gosei's room, there is a series of bottles and cans placed on a long table. The old man is sitting on one side, using simple tools to analyze the blue flame bracelet in his hand, while Patrick is standing behind the teacher, with an expression on his face.
It's a bit cloudy and uncertain.
"So what?" The man's tone seemed to be simply unhappy: "He just found out!"
"Why didn't you say he was only fourteen years old? Don't be angry with Ayers about this. He did find a good material, but your Ellen family has no shortage of geniuses."
The old man did not stop his appraisal work, but he pondered for a while, and then continued: "If I was a little hesitant at the beginning, it was not because the kid named Ian lacked ability, but because he was too capable.
I'm afraid that we can't protect him. If something unexpected happens and his path is cut off, I will regret it extremely."
"Look at this." He raised the blue flame bracelet in his hand, and the light of the prosthetic eye instantly illuminated the mithril gemstone jewelry: "I need to make repeated confirmations to discover the second layer of inscriptions hidden in the natural structure of the gemstone.
Circuit, this is the work of a master at the same level as me, but he can detect the slightest thing wrong with his instinctive sensitivity!"
"What a genius." Master Gosei sighed with emotion: "If I didn't have the energy to teach a second real apprentice, and such recruitment would be too disrespectful to Ayers, I would really want to take him back to the imperial capital immediately.
"
"Then what made you change your mind, teacher? Our task is not simple. Aren't you afraid that something will happen to him?"
The middle-aged man's voice was suppressed, and the old man said frankly: "His keenness. Patrick, I know that you think that the appearance of this child will share the credit of Bo Yisen, and the other person is from Ayres and you can't poach him, so you are angry.
"
"But he is really suitable. Regardless of whether Ayres's life-extending magic plant is acting or not, the abnormality of the blue flame bracelet is absolutely impossible to detect by chance!"
At this point, the old man's voice was full of deep anger: "Isengard is the child I have most valued for so many years. The internal competition in your Ellen family has gone too far... Pat, remember to talk to the Marquis later.
Report it to my wife and you must investigate it carefully, otherwise I will take action myself."
"……yes."
There was a hint of reluctance in the blond man's voice, but the old man didn't take it seriously because his former student was so awkward: "Well, in the final analysis, Ian saved Ethan's life, so what if he shares some of the credit? And what's more?
This is also something that requires taking risks to do well. Without his keen sense of source matter, we might not be able to find clues for several months just relying on us."
"After all, our real purpose is to find high-level monsters that feed on the 'Shining Element Crystal Shell'."
"A high-level dragon species identified as the 'Zhanhai Crystal Dragon'!"
