"After washing the dishes, go to Elder Pude's place. I won't be going home for a while. The elder will take care of you."
After giving instructions to Elan, and receiving an obedient "OK~", Ian smiled and went to look at the tool fish he used to predict the future.
Well, the result is good, but it's just ordinary red, not black.
This is quite surprising to Ian - the fatal black and the dangerous red often appear together. After all, some dangers cannot be avoided, like a big storm. What's the use of knowing it in advance? It takes more than half of the time to leave Nanling.
Months, and in Nanling, there is a possibility of being affected by a big storm. At most, you may be killed directly by hail and waves, or you may be killed by a flash flood and mudslide.
But this time, it was just a pure red danger... proving that there was not even a trace of elements brought about by the natural environment in this mission.
It is a pure human disaster.
"Human beings are indeed more terrifying than nature."
After sighing with emotion, Ian hugged Ellan who rushed over to say goodbye. After feeling that the other person's weight had indeed become heavier, the young man even felt a little emotional that his light brother would never come back.
——Steel bones harm people!
After saying goodbye, Ian went to his workshop again, sorted out all the medicines he had prepared, put them in his pocket, and then went to the dock to gather.
The air in the morning was dull and hot. Even though the wind in the distance had begun to stir up the sea tide, the heat had not dissipated immediately. From the weak clouds farther away, a little dark red light leaked out, but it was not as good as the algae at the port.
Oil lamps are even more eye-catching.
Not many people went out to sea today. After all, they were all old fishermen. Who would go far in this kind of weather? But there were still some workers and fishermen sitting at the pier chatting and playing cards, in groups of two or three, chatting and bragging about everything they knew.
topic.
In the compound of the dock management office, many people wearing platinum and iridium workshop uniforms gathered, including men and women, but most of them were experts with unique skills and strong strength.
As members recruited from all around Nanning by the Platinum Iridium Workshop, they are either senior explorers, elite mercenaries recruited, adventure experts trained since childhood, or knowledgeable appraisers.
.
Of course, there are also some locals from Harrison Port who were brought in by Viscount Grant, such as experienced crew members and navigators. Even the captain is a reliable old captain transferred from the Red Hook Fleet.
Most of them have already demonstrated their amazing skills before today, but there are still a few who arrived at Harrison Port yesterday and are now demonstrating themselves in front of Master Isengard and Gosei.
A coastal explorer has demonstrated an astonishing ability to identify and decompose fish. He can distinguish more than a dozen fish with similar appearance but different species at a glance and name them.
It's clear where these fish come from.
Another first-level wave patrolman is even more remarkable. He can see the traces of fish swimming in the water with the naked eye, and his ability to sense life in the water is also quite good.
As for combat effectiveness, it is not something that is valued. After all, with Master Gosei in charge, one or two more first levels will not make any essential difference.
But these people who show off their abilities have no idea what the people above are thinking.
"Theoretically, among these people there will definitely be one or two killers arranged to come in."
The soundproof ring on his finger flashed with gray light. Master Gosei frowned and stared at the crowd in front of him: "Ethan, remember not to be alone with these people and pay attention to safety. The only person we can trust a little is Ai.
Those 'outsiders' arranged by Charles."
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
The blond boy was a little depressed. The long-distance communication with his mother a few days ago made him really exhausted... Although he was well protected, he still knew the complexity and cruelty of the power struggle.
To be honest, Isengard doesn't have much desire for power, but his mother is the princess and the current wife of the Grand Duke. Even if he is only the third son, he still has to compete with his eldest brother who is a common son and his second brother who is the eldest son to be the head of the family.
position.
If he doesn't fight, neither he nor his mother will have an easy future.
Even, like now, he may be under the threat of death at any time.
Such worries are naturally unlikely to make the young master feel better, but the thought of being able to explore the distant seas that he has never been to soon makes him feel a little better.
The arrival of Ian made both him and Master Gosei's eyes light up, and their moods improved a lot.
Although it took him a while to get the potion in his studio, Ian arrived not too late - the exploration ship only went to sea at noon, so he was several hours early.
But after they actually arrived, Ian discovered that he was actually the slowest group to arrive... Except for Viscount Grant, almost everyone had arrived. Even just now, Patrick had just gotten off the boat and was chatting with the singer.
The elders were chatting about some related safety issues.
After Ian arrived, all eyes were on him.
Several alchemists and appraisers who were probably from other platinum and iridium workshops in Nanling looked at Ian with suspicion and jealousy in their eyes and expressions, because Ian was appointed as the chief appraiser of the exploration ship.
This means that if there is credit, Ian can get a share of the pie no matter what.
This makes these outsiders who are not very familiar with Ian's reputation think that this young white man is a gilded guy who relies on connections... After all, according to common sense, in a place like Harrison Port, the age of fourteen is almost official.
A genius at the level of an alchemist?
The locals of Harrison Port and those who came to work as guards based on their strength looked at Ian with nothing in mind. They were not in the same ecological niche and there was no competition. Some acquaintances even showed flattering smiles to Ian.
, after all, they will all be hanging out in Harrison Port from now on, so they can get familiar with the alchemist as much as possible, otherwise they may not be able to buy any potions in the future.
Ian's opinion of everyone is relatively average. These people are capable, but they are still a little unable to deal with the raids of elf pirates and natives. What's more, there may be a killer hidden by Patrick, so they cannot be trusted.
Already.
If he were not accompanied by the second-level Master Gosei, no matter how great his credit was, he would never have agreed to this task and would rather stay in Harrison Port and continue to develop.
Except for a warrior holding a strange sword.
That's a wave patrolman.
The long sword in his hand had a wavy shape, but upon closer inspection, it was straight. The previous bend was just layers of water vapor that distorted the vision.
This is an alchemical weapon, the Sea-born long sword from Whale Song Cliff, and it is also one of the highest-quality Sea-born long swords.
