This was the first doubt that Elder Puder had after learning about Patrick's hostility towards Ian: "Even if the two of them have a good relationship, they have been involved in the internal fighting of the Ellen family. At this time, the Viscount must be informed and
When we pick it out, we should immediately use official channels to inform the Ellen family of this key information!"
"I have no evidence."
Ian shook his head. He was a little helpless: "You know that I am a prophet and you can believe my words, but do you want me to reveal that I am a prophet? Or are you betting on who Viscount Grant believes more?"
"To be honest, I can't find any clues yet... Patrick has no children, and he doesn't tend to be the heir of any family. He currently has no reason to vote for any party. He is the future patriarch of the family, and is the leader of the Ellen family.
He is already a very prestigious industry host in the southern region."
At this point, Ian also frowned: "What reason does he have to attack Isengard? Although I have seen it less, I can see from his performance that the young man respects his uncle very much, and the relationship between the two parties is actually quite good.
!”
This is a fact. In Ian's eyes, Patrick actually loves and protects Isengard, and the relationship between the two parties is already very close in aristocratic families.
Why? Ian is still looking for the answer to this question.
"Too."
Elder Puder also had a headache at this time, especially since this matter was closely related to Ian: "I have another piece of information to tell you about Viscount Grant's plan..."
He told Ian the contents of the subsequent private chat between himself and Viscount Grant, which made the young man raise his head in surprise: "You actually have a child? And you are so kind, willing to give me credit, give me knighthood, and let me leave Harrison.
port?"
"of course."
Elder Puder stroked his beard and sighed: "In the past, he only wanted to control Harrison Port and let the port develop and grow. Now that these two goals have been achieved, Ayers naturally has other plans.
"
"He has to think about his own future and his heirs. The Viscount is already seventy years old. Even if he still has fifty years to live, but if he is over a hundred years old, even if his combat power can still be at its peak, it will never be like this.
Do everything with your own hands...the power will be transferred to his children, and if you want to develop the White People, he will not have the power to suppress you."
"In that case."
The old man said slowly: "It's better to let go."
"Yeah... indeed."
Ian nodded slightly. After hearing this information, his thoughts changed: "Now there is another reason not to tell the Viscount about this matter. Although it is a bit dangerous, I really need this credit to catch up with Gosei."
Master’s line.”
"It's good that the enemy has revealed his intentions, but they don't know that I already know... They don't even know that my true strength is not just the true form of the Wavesinger."
The enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. For Ian, the risk from Patrick is actually not great.
Even though the opponent is at the second level, according to psychic predictions, the threat level is not even as high as if he went around the core area of the indigenous people. He is obviously the kind of civilian who has not fought much.
As a dual first level, facing such a second level, even if he is unable to resist head-on with absolute strength, he will never lose if he is on guard.
On the contrary, if he can get credit for key tasks and join forces with the Ellen family and Master Gosei, his benefits will be extremely high.
Therefore, we cannot inform the Imperial Capital and the Ellen family of this news. If the mission is really cancelled, then the person who comes next time will probably be an entire professional team from the Imperial Capital, and there will be no need for him, a country appraiser.
"It is true that your Wavesinger heritage is just an additional function of your sand armor apprentice. With your true strength, even Viscount Grant should be able to escape as long as he does not use ether weapons, let alone Patrick.
"
Elder Puder did not know about the silver chip.
He still believes that Ian's "weak" water control ability is the result of the special construction of the sand armor apprentice.
After confirming the idea, the old man nodded, and then reminded: "But, Ian. Unless it is desperate, you cannot expose the Sand Armor Apprentice. Whether it is Master Gosei or Patrick, they are both old people who have experienced that era. The power of the Sand Armor Apprentice
They are all familiar with it, and if you are exposed, it will not only be your problem."
"I'm afraid the entire Harrison Port will be razed to the ground just to find traces of your mentor!"
Elder Puder also did not know that Hilliard had passed away, and thought that he had just left this area to live in seclusion elsewhere.
"besides."
Talking about this aspect, Elder Pude smiled: "Have you not always said that you want to use goblin materials to make yourself a weight-reducing alchemy jewelry? The sand armor apprentice is indeed too heavy and not suitable for you in some places.
Play.”
"It just so happens that a few days ago... I acquired a piece of material about goblins."
Guxu
With that said, under Ian's rather surprised gaze, the old man stood up and took out a sealed marble box from the secret room of the Elder's Hall without any concealment.
He handed the stone box to Ian and said with a smile: "I don't dare to use the share you got from the appraisal... Just yesterday Mr. Yinfang said that he had channels to buy fairy materials, so I used alchemy as an excuse.
Bought it.”
"The other party originally said that he didn't want to accept money, but I know that with your personality, you would rather spend money than owe the other party a favor."
"This is really...an unexpected surprise!"
Ian was naturally surprised and delighted.
He was indeed willing to spend money, but he didn't expect Elder Puder to be so concerned about his past words.
He kept a lot of things from Elder Pu De, but most of them only had secrets that really could not be revealed at all. But in contrast, Elder Pu De was very dedicated to him and had absolutely nothing to hide.
The young man took the stone box, but before he could open it, the psychic energy told him what was inside.
【Fairy's Feather Shedding】
A rich dark blue halo is flowing.
After cautiously accepting this material, Ian planned to keep it until he went to the workshop for further identification.
Now that the goal has almost been achieved, Ian wanted to ask one last question before leaving.
"Elder, what kind of bloodline or true form did we, the Zhibai people, practice back then?"
In order to understand the origin of Elan's 'cyborg', Ian asked directly: "And why was our family exiled to Harrison Port by the late emperor?"
"You finally asked."
Regarding this question, Elder Puder couldn't help but be surprised, but rather sighed: "I originally thought you would ask four years ago, but I didn't expect you to be so calm and wait until our family has the opportunity to regain its glory before asking."
After stroking his beard, the old man slowly said: "As for inheritance... what our family inherits is not the bloodline, but the true form of the 'Silver Peak Messenger'."
When he said this, the elder's tone was filled with nostalgia.
He stroked his beard and lowered his eyes with a complicated expression: "This is a quite ancient inheritance."
"Back then, our Cieharolvo family settled around the 'Silver Peak' on the edge of the Huaiguang Mountains, and made a living by extracting high-quality ores from the Silver Peaks. Because the mountains are steep, the higher the quality of the ores, the more valuable they are.
High above, our ancestors blended the bloodlines of the 'Black and Silver Giant Eagle' and the 'Air Feather Bird' to create the 'Silver Peak Messenger'... a weapon that is both strong and extremely light, capable of controlling steel and wind, and can travel in the mountains.
The true form of free exploration.”
"Because he can move freely among the mountains, like a messenger from heaven covered with silver feathers, he is called the Silver Peak Messenger."
"At that time, our family could not be called a family. It was just a group of tribes of white people scattered in the mountains. Until an ancestor who became a famous labyrinth explorer returned to his ancestral land and unified all the tribes with absolute power and wealth.
, the Cejalrovo family was truly born.”
"During this time……"
Talking about the past was endless, but Ian listened patiently.
Because this may be the first time in decades that Elder Puder has had the opportunity to be so proud...and so lonely in explaining the history of his family.
The family's past once rejected him and was indeed where his heart lay.
"...Probably due to the influence of that ancestor, even though the clan was forced to move to the north of the empire due to the first Dark Mountain Unrest, the traditional exploration and research of the labyrinth has never been left behind. For hundreds of years, we have been
He persisted in adventure and exploration activities, and gradually developed influence in the imperial capital, becoming a family of Labyrinth Bachelors who played a decisive role in this aspect."
After elaborating on the family's origin, rise, migration, resurgence and final prosperity, Elder Puder's excited face gradually dimmed.
He closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Then, decades ago, when the late emperor was at his peak and overwhelming the continent of Terra, our family was imprisoned because of a major discovery about the labyrinth.
Demoted to exile."
"What major discovery is it?" Having obtained the information about the family inheritance, Ian continued to listen patiently, and then praised it appropriately: "Could it be that our family has made an extremely critical discovery and kept it secret, so why? Being punished by the emperor?"
This is the most reasonable guess.
But Elder Pude shook his head: "It's not that our family respected the late emperor very much at that time... We could even say we worshiped him, because the other party's support for scholars like us was far greater than that of any emperor."
"So our family informed him of the mystery of 'eternal life' right away."
