Seeing that his student's thinking became extremely simple as soon as he came to this aspect, and even showed a firm expression full of confidence, the old man even laughed helplessly: "Why should I worry about his safety? You didn't notice that that kid seems
Have you known about the existence of this South China Sea ruins for a long time?"
"He asked me to rush straight into the ground before. Although it was also for safety reasons to prevent everyone from falling to death if I lost my strength... But you didn't notice the excitement, the enthusiasm, the joy of almost becoming a different person.
?"
"Ah this..."
Isengard's face was blank, but when the teacher said this, he also vaguely noticed that something was wrong.
Indeed...it was indeed not like this before Ian.
In the eyes of the blond boy, this white man of the same age whom he met in Harrison Port was a person who was far calmer, more mature, and sharper than him. It could even be said that he was a being who completely crushed him.
He is extremely intelligent, has extremely keen perception, and has extremely high talents in alchemy and sublimation techniques... In addition, his way of life is also very comfortable.
Ian has his own opinions on all topics, and can also start discussions along the lines of other people's words, without making people feel bored or annoyed. Whether chatting or discussing things, it feels very smooth - he
He is probably the kind of social master who will never be cold-hearted or make people feel uncomfortable.
However, in Isengard's eyes, Ian is also a calm and indifferent person who is almost ruthless.
Although his emotional intelligence is not high, the boy's observation ability is actually quite sharp, otherwise he would not be an alchemist.
He could see that Ian didn't take most things very seriously - he didn't care much about fame or wealth. It was obvious that what the Ellen family promised was enough to make ordinary ascendants.
Crazy advanced inheritance and traceable Dettol, he just nodded lightly and was politely surprised.
He actually doesn't care about these things at all.
Ian can kill more than a dozen natives, wipe off the blood on his sword smoothly and gracefully, and then discuss the future mission with himself... He can even kill even one tenth of the time after the exploration ship is attacked.
Is it possible for a person who dives into the sea with himself without even a second's hesitation to be so enthusiastic, excited and joyful?
Of course it's possible.
Because Ian needs something from the ruins. Because Ian needs something from the pre-era civilization. Or...
Ian is a person who can feel great joy and achievement just by knowing the unknown, just exploring and developing...
A psyker who awakened his psychic powers because of his desire to know the unknown and explore the distance.
That's what psykers are like.
Seeing Isengard's expression gradually becoming enlightened, Master Gosei nodded slightly: "This should be a struggle between Ayers and the natives, but it intensified because of Patrick... If my guess is correct,
This place is a sacred place for the local redwood natives.”
"Ian, as for Ian, must know more about this place than many people. A little guy like him who is eager for knowledge must know very well that this place has what he desires, so he is so excited.
"He must have a deeper understanding of this place than we do."
"In other words, if we want to leave this place, Ian's help is indispensable."
After saying such a long words in one breath, Master Gosei breathed a tired breath. Isengard quickly brought purified water, but the old man waved his hand slightly: "You drink it, you have to maintain your strength. I don't have much fighting power anymore."
He felt a little uneasy in his heart at this moment.
Based on Ian's identity...he should not know these things and would not yearn for the indigenous holy land.
One by one, he doesn’t know whether Ayers told him or through other channels... Forget it, now is not the time to think about this.
"Yes, teacher... do you need Ian's help again?"
Isengard was a little embarrassed at first - during their trip to sea, Ian had helped him so many times that he couldn't figure out how to repay him for his kindness.
Fortunately, the Ellen family still has wealth, and as long as he survives, all rewards are easy to come by.
"Teacher, your condition has stabilized. I'm going to check on the conditions of others."
And just as Master Gesai closed his eyes to rest, Yisen stood up and planned to continue to check the parasites on other patients and analyze the cases to optimize the medicine.
The blond boy holding the potion in his hand suddenly froze for a moment, then frowned.
"strangeness…"
He murmured to himself and looked at the tunnel on one side of the cave: "Why is there the sound of armor clashing?"
The wind source quality brought a faint hum in the distance, and Ethan heard the vibration, although slight, was quite clear to him: "There were more than eight people, and it smelled of gunpowder and alchemical potions... It was an alchemical firearm?! And, this
Alchemy gunpowder configuration..."
The young man showed a shocked expression and looked blankly towards the direction where the voice came from: "Feiyandi?"
Hearing Isengard's startled voice, Master Gosei, who had originally planned to take a rest, frowned. Thinking of the incident that Isengard had described before, in which Ian was attacked with firearms from another country, he couldn't help but have a guess in his mind.
"Could it be that they helped the indigenous people for the sake of the indigenous holy land? Originally, they might just want to ask for the key in Ayers' hand, but the ruins were accidentally opened..."
"By chance, they actually took advantage!
Isengard is quite smart when it comes to interpersonal communication. His mind turned and he first glanced at the ordinary people beside him who had mostly fallen asleep under sedatives. Then he gritted his teeth and prepared to carry the old man on his back: "Let's go.
Teacher, let’s leave quickly! The cave here is deep, as long as we hide quickly and I use the wind to block my breath, it won’t be easy for them to find us!”
"Although there are parasites in this place, the parasites can also be used as food after treatment. We can hide for a long time!"
"you go."
But the old man patted the young man's outstretched hand. He looked at his student solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Even if you are an agent of Feiyandi, if you catch me, you will not kill me immediately. You will also take care of me."
Maybe he's more professional than a fussy guy like you."
"And if you take me with you, both of you will definitely be caught. Don't talk too much and leave quickly!"
Master Gosei noticed that before his student was about to leave, he still hesitated because of the fishermen in the South China Sea who he met by chance... If it weren't for himself, he might have stayed.
This silly kid...his temperament is nothing like his parents or his grandfather...
But if he hadn't had this temper, he wouldn't have regarded Ethan as his last direct student.
"……teacher!"
Ethan stood there blankly for a while, then gritted his teeth and turned around.
He knew very well that in normal times, agents from both countries capture important figures, and they must be trying to interrogate key information or ask for ransom... But is it really normal at this moment? If you die in a ruins where no one knows the situation, no one will know the truth.
Condition.
But he also knew very well that he must not let down the teacher's wishes. Isengard acted quickly, and before leaving, he left a potion beside everyone, which could continue to calm the parasites.
Although it was probably meaningless, his heart told him to do it.
But just when the boy was about to leave through the hole on the other side, he stopped.
Because, there are also sounds from the direction of the cave entrance.
Da da da.
The sound of footsteps echoed inside the cave, neither hurried nor slow, just moving forward openly.
This was the pace in the military formation, the sound of the most professionally trained soldiers in action. He was surrounded.
