Pat's tone was full of confusion: "After discovering such a thing, the teacher still plans to continue completing the task?"
"of course."
Master Gosei's voice was calm: "Patrick, this is actually a very simple truth... The further away from the imperial capital and the Ellen Territory, the safer Ethan will be. In this remote Harrison Port, who can suddenly unleash his power?"
, to threaten Ethan who is protected by both of us?"
"On the contrary, if you go back rashly, you might encounter an accident, not to mention that if you don't complete His Majesty's mission, the friendship between Madam and Your Majesty will also be reduced, right?"
"Rather, we must complete the mission. Only with Elan whom His Majesty appreciates can we ensure our own safety."
"That's the problem." The man said thoughtfully, "The task is difficult."
"indeed."
Putting down the bracelet in his hand, the old man thought for a while, then stood up and took out a map from the package on the side.
Spread the map out and place it on the long table. You can see that this is a sea map that is even more detailed than the map in Viscount Grant's mansion.
Among them, the "Night-Light Sea" is marked with different colors of gold.
"The original element crystal shells can only be said to be an unexpected surprise. They can enrich the harvest channels of element crystals in coastal areas... but they are not enough to attract His Majesty's attention."
Master Gosei was staring at the map in front of him at this moment. There were small dots drawn on it, which marked the production points of various element crystal shells, as well as the situation of other sublimated creatures in the surrounding area.
"However, the appraisers from the Royal Alchemy Association detected the aura of a superior dragon species from the empty shells of those elemental crystal shells."
The old man's expression was solemn, and even Patrick was very cautious.
Crystal Dragon, a rare and strange dragon species, usually only appears around seafloor mineral veins. It is a close marine relative of the Pyroxene Ankylosaurus. It mostly appears around the Starfall Inner Sea and Whale Song Cliff.
No one has ever imagined that there are crystal dragons along the coast of Nanling, not to mention the variant of the crystal dragon, the 'Zhanhai Crystal Dragon'. This variant will only appear in the formed sea maze. It is the powerful psychic field of the crystal dragon.
Mutated individuals caused by infection.
It would be a joke to say that the empire lacks materials for a crystal dragon...but the labyrinth species is hard to come by.
Most of the labyrinth monsters are far more powerful than their counterparts, and their materials are necessary for certain special high-level inheritances.
"no way."
Whispering to himself, Master Gesai sighed and said to himself: "After the Dark Moon turmoil, the original sea labyrinth of the empire was destroyed in many internal fights. Although it has been rebuilt on the original site, the ecology has not been restored, and the crystal dragon has
It’s one of them.”
"indeed."
Patrick obviously understood the importance of this. He squinted his eyes and stared at the golden marked area on the map: "For the princes and princesses, the reserves are still sufficient."
"But if the group is not restored, the future inheritance will definitely be manipulated by other countries."
With the strength of the empire, although it is no longer at its peak, it is not difficult to purchase the materials for the crystal dragon.
The problem is that high-level Warcraft materials are inherently strategic resources, and occasional interaction is considered a strategic exchange. However, if the Central Empire purchases the same Warcraft materials for a long time, it is enough to prove that there is a huge problem in their internal potion circulation system. , high-end strategic materials are limited by people.
But how can it be easy to capture the Crystal Dragon?
Not to mention that the common places of production are in the territory of other countries, even if it is really captured, how to transport it back to the labyrinth controlled by the imperial capital?
"We can't even let other countries' spies notice this, so they can only send us to take action."
Master Gosei shook his head slightly: "This is Your Majesty's trust. We must not let down the young crystal dragon to feed on elemental crystal shells. If we want to find the crystal dragon, we need the keen perception of the young appraiser."
"Although I can do the same thing, in terms of efficiency...after all, it is a man-made psychic ornament, and there is no 'desire' in it. After all, I cannot compare to that young man."
"It's like giving Ayers and that young man an advantage for nothing."
Crossing his hands on his chest, Patrick said unhappily: "He is really lucky. There is a medium to large maze next to his property. I don't know if he can stay calm..."
"Isn't this the purpose of the Black King sending old Grant here?"
Master Gesai shook his head slightly. He hunched his back and paused on his crutches: "I'm going to rest. Let's talk about the next thing tomorrow."
"Okay. Pay attention to your rest, teacher." The blond man sighed, then turned and left.
The old man reminded: "Remember to inform the Marquis and his wife so that they can start the review of internal personnel as soon as possible! This second layer of inscription structure is definitely made by elite inscription craftsmen. People with such help... are powerful Not too small!”
"I know." Patrick agreed.
Gu Jie
He left Master Gosei's room, walked out of Boyin's workshop, came to the street, then jumped up and left Harrison Port quietly.
No one walks on the riverside along the port at night, and there are no wild animals. It is surrounded by a quiet darkness, and only a few insects can be heard. Patrick landed on the top of a pine and cypress tree in the night wind, not far from Harrison Harbor. The lights shine brightly in the darkness, creating a hazy halo in the South China Sea at night.
The man stared at the city. Fifteen years ago, it was only beginning to take shape. The towering walls were covered with traces of battles. At night, the entire city was only lit by patrols and the firelight of towers.
But now, it has become a spark lit by the empire in the wild and dark land. The fire is burning. His experience and knowledge tell him that this place will become a prosperous business center in the future, a star in the mountains and mountains. A shining pearl in the ocean.
"I'm so...envious."
With a slight sigh, Patrick closed his eyes and was silent for a while.
When he opened it again, his expression became firm: "Although I am not a noble with my own territory."
"But this time... Ayers, I won't lose."
He took out a crystal plate from his arms, then took out a special pen and began to write quickly on it.
East side of Nanling.
The junction of Yongjiyang and the southern coast.
"Oh... The boss has sent a summons... Let me see what instructions you have..."
Next to the dense algae sea, in the dark sea shrouded by clouds, a fleet of numerous ships, large and small, was parked in place.
The largest ship among them is more than fifty meters long, while the smallest one is less than twenty meters long. It is more like a warship than a ship.
The entire fleet was shrouded in a layer of hazy fluorescence, which complemented the dimly lit fluorescence in the algae sea.
"The summons came in the middle of the night. Our boss can order people better than our elf master."
On the largest ship in the center, a lazy voice sounded. Although he spoke of boss and adults, there was not much awe from the heart: "Well, the plan is accelerating? Are we going to raid so soon? But
I haven’t gathered all the wandering pirates here yet…”
Along with the sound of deep thought, the sound of strokes rubbing against the crystal plate can be vaguely heard.
The one who made the sound was a young and handsome 'human' with long dark green hair.
His forehead was tied tightly with a long black cloth, and his almost pupilless eyes of pure gold and long pointed ears proved his identity as a pure-blood elf.
The elven pirates off the coast of Canaan Moore have basically become a regional feature. This group of unorganized elves who are dissatisfied with the rule of the elven royal court is more like a group of freelancers than bandits. They undertake all types of tasks, including armed escorts.
, commercial escort, plundering competitors, exploring mazes, developing isolated islands, and various special tasks such as digging for pearls, catching shells, catching conches, and serving as a mercenary.
Because of the unique oath culture of the elves, as long as the elf can make the oath, there is basically no need to worry about the credibility of the other party.
As for a trivial matter like raiding a certain country's exploration ship, it is really not worth mentioning.
The elf pirate was writing furiously on the crystal plate at the moment, but the reply speed on the other side was surprisingly slow. The exchange between the two parties fell into an intense silence for a while, and the only sound that could be heard was the rustling of the crystal pen across the crystal plate.
"Captain, the boss's mission is going to be moved forward?"
Until the first mate's voice sounded from the elf pirate's side: "What happened? Didn't the boss say it's foolproof?"
"Now that the boss has met a powerful person, his hidden methods have been discovered, so we can only use our safe force method. Moreover, our target is wary now, and it is difficult to deal with it."
Putting down the crystal pen in his hand, the elf pirate frowned slightly: "We will raid the target's survey ship in five days. The boss has no reason to be present at that time, so we only need to face a second-level high-level alchemist master and a few
The first level... is okay, at least now we don’t need to dedicate troops to pretend to deal with the boss, we can just directly sink it with long-range artillery and surround the sea area."
"Oh, by the way, he also asked us to add someone to the must-kill list... a young white citizen, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who can be recognized at a glance because of his good looks. I asked him how good-looking he was, and he said he was prettier than us elves.
."
"Haha." The first mate laughed: "That's really obvious, but we, who live in the open air, are indeed a bit rough compared to those gentlemen."
"He is not a noble but a commoner boss. Does he have a grudge against young people? Why does he always have trouble with young people of this age?"
With a click of his tongue, the pirate captain shook his head: "It's not a big problem, it's just that we need to be faster and there is no boss to cover up the signal secretly. If we raid the survey ship alone, the Viscount Grant may come over with the Ether Armed Forces.
.”
The elf pirate's dark green hair swayed, and he raised his finger: "Fortunately, the sea protects us."
Saying this, he raised his head and looked at the distant dark horizon.
There, there was a vast sea of clouds gathering vaguely. The elf with long dark green hair smiled and said: "We will continue to wait... wait for the survey ship to conduct surveys for a few days before taking action... or in other words, wait until there is a storm."
"At that time, it was our home court."
At the same time, Ian frowned and boiled a pot of medicine and put it into the mouth of Elan, who was suffering from a high fever.
