Have you heard? We have another noble here, Ian from the White People!
I heard about it. I know that kid. He was smart since he was a child. Later, with the help of Mr. Grant, he learned alchemy and inscriptions. The damn guy in my family just learned a little bit and was able to work in the Guards. This kid
But he is proficient in them all - I believe he can become a noble!
Hey, when will my child be half as smart as Ian? No, a quarter smarter? It will save me a lot of worry.
This is the content of an exchange between several women with children at home on Harbor Street in Harrison Port.
Xiahui Ling, that place seems to be recruiting skilled craftsmen. You don’t need to be too proficient. They will provide training there. What you need is young and imaginative. You guys seem to be quite suitable?
Don't, really don't, do you believe people who say they don't want experienced masters? Isn't it like saying, 'The soldier next door doesn't care about your physique, he will help you train, but all he wants is your life,'? This iron man controls us.
Be cannon fodder!
What can we do to be cannon fodder for craftsmen? Let us be forced to forge iron day and night and burn the furnace morning and night? You see, this list says that what they want to do is a very new thing, and the experience of old masters is of no use.
Again, do you believe what they say? Although Xiahui Ling is also in Nanling, he still has to climb mountains and ridges!
Hey, just like you said, my life is worthless, and now I have reached my age. If I don’t find some real work, won’t I have to live with my parents for the rest of my life? This time, I will fight hard!
This is a conversation that took place in the backyard of the blacksmith shop between two apprentices who were resting.
Brother, did you see the recruitment notice at Xiahui Leader? The salary is quite generous!
Isn't it a little dangerous over there in the Xiahui Leader? Not long after the battle over the mountain people, a lot of people died, and didn't the Lord's Mansion also say that? The master, Ian and his guy named Qingchao
Guards and teamed up to repel attacks from special forces from other places. It’s obviously dangerous! I’m not happy to go.
Doesn't this prove that the Xiahui leader has strength? Qingchao, I know, good guy, that sword can be played by at least ten of me. I can't wait to become a disciple, and the Xiahui leader is said to join the escort.
, you can get the guidance of that swordsman!
Huh? Brother, have you made up your mind to go to Xiahui? Port Harrison is a nice place, right? Although there will be less work after the indigenous people are gone, the gentleman is generous and it is very suitable for settling down and raising a family.
That's it, brother, you have a wife, of course you want to settle down, brother, I plan to try again to see if I can break through - less work, less opportunities, less credit, then Qingchao was not as good as brothers before
A little stronger? He went on an adventure with Mr. Ian in the Great Maze of the South China Sea, so he has the second level of merit and affection! This is about working hard to have a chance!
Hey, brother, you dare to fight - here is a toast to you, we will not go home until we are drunk today!
Next time if I can come back alive, I will invite everyone in the group to drink until I get drunk!
This was a business discussion between two mercenaries that took place in a tavern in Port Harrison.
The entire Harrison Port was filled with news about Xiahui leading the convoy.
Not only because the lord of Xiahui Territory was once from Port Harrison and was warmly received by Viscount Grant, but also because the treatment offered by Xiahui Territory is indeed quite attractive.
…
Although there has been news of Ian becoming a lord and becoming famous since last year, and even earlier there was news of Ian's perfect performance in the Imperial Capital, all of this combined is far inferior to the fact that Ian brought a whole army full of novel goods.
A tenth of the way back to Harrison Port with a fleet of various high-end alchemical equipment.
With these precise and practical things, the people of this era, who do not see rabbits but do not let go of hawks, will have some perception and understanding of the "new territory" in the distance, and will arouse "curiosity and desire."
Of course, in a sense, Xiahui Ling's recruitment operation in Harrison Port is using money to compete for the talents accumulated in Harrison Port for many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is blood-sucking.
But in reality
In fact, everyone in Harrison Port, including Viscount Grant, believed that Harrison Port made the profit.
Because in the Terra Continent, the most important thing is not these relatively low-end ‘talents.
It's about knowledge of alchemy.
[Xiahui Ling shared the technology of "new agricultural planting building" with Harrison Port and allowed Harrison Port to open a "conventional plant culture solution" production workshop]
[Harrison Port has the right of first refusal to purchase new weapons such as "Magnetic Storm Armor," "Charging Rifle," and is allowed to open three production workshops for related equipment]
[Harrison Port and Xiahui Ling have reached an all-round cooperation agreement: the territories of both parties allow free exchange of personnel, the caravans of both parties enjoy tax and fee reductions, and the two parties have reached a number of bulk trade agreements related to raw materials and grain]
[Xiahui Ling will help Harrison Port cultivate basic alchemy craftsmen, and as a price, Harrison Port will need to assist Xiahui Ling in purchasing large quantities of alchemical substrates and related alchemy crops. The specific content of the agreement is still being negotiated.]
These agreements were all news that had been released from the Lord's Mansion before Xiahui arrived with his convoy.
After hearing these agreements, everyone was moved by Ian's generosity and grateful for his actions in giving back to his hometown.
After all, as an alchemist close to the master level (Ian's alchemy level in the eyes of ordinary people), he is willing to accept the Viscount's unborn son as his disciple. This fact alone is enough to make Viscount Grant smile.
It doesn't matter that Xia Hui Ling's blood-sucking attack on Harrison Port.
After all, those ordinary talents will not be in short supply with the treatment provided by Harrison Port. But how could a genius like Ian, who has no emotions, accept disciples so casually?
And based on the relationship between Viscount Grant and Ian, at least the cooperation between the two parties is still continuing, so the Viscount's children must be Ian's direct disciples.
In this way, so what if Port Harrison suffered a little more loss? What's more, they didn't suffer a loss at all.
So, is Xiahui Ling the one who suffers?
Of course not.
Harrison Port has the trade port that Xiahui Ling needs most now, and it also has the 'mid- to low-end technical personnel that Xiahui Ling lacks most now.
Because the Sequoia Aboriginals have been pacified, Harrison Port does not need to maintain so many standing troops now, so even experienced mercenaries and adventurers do not need to be retained as many. These people can be attracted by the Xiahui Leader.
Become the force they most urgently need.
Moreover, it’s hard to say about other aspects. As a port city, Harrison Port, which lacks cultivated land, really needs the design of agricultural buildings. They will definitely popularize this technology as much as possible and use themselves as a test field for Xiahui Ling.
One side needs technology, the other side needs raw materials and population; the other side needs the direction of future progress, and the other side needs trial and error experimental fields and population data.
——A match made in heaven!
This was the inner thoughts of both Ian and Viscount Grant after their discussion in the Viscount Harrison's Mansion.
That's it for today, Ian.
The Viscount stood up and said with a smile: Your brother and Elder Puder are waiting for you outside. I won't disturb your time to communicate with your relatives.
He is undoubtedly the most satisfied with this series of collaborations.
Yes. In the short term, Harrison Port is undoubtedly suffering a loss: all the benefits that Ian can provide will only be effective in a few years, especially those production rights, which are needed
It’s something that you invest in upfront and will slowly take effect later on.
Is the product good? Indeed. But not only has the effect not been verified over a long period of time, but quick money cannot be made, and it may even result in loss of money.
For many lords, this alone is enough to make them cautious or even wait and see.
Only people like Viscount Grant, who no longer care about short-term gains and only invest in the future of Ian and his children, can accept it outright.
As for the loss of population in a short period of time, let alone Viscount Grant, he knew clearly with his eyes closed that in the future, a group of very capable white people would move to Xiahui Territory in large numbers.
Many of his alchemist craftsmen are white people. But the pie that Ian painted for him is really delicious.
A very pleasant morning.
Ian is of course very satisfied. After all, Harrison Port is also his hometown, and in the future there will definitely be a considerable number of White people who will not move to Xiahui Territory, but will continue to stay in Harrison Port - for decades, this can be considered a place.
An inheritance of the white people.
As the current head of the Silver Peak family, it is impossible for Ian to do such a stupid thing as completely abandoning Harrison Port and putting all his eggs in the same basket.
The construction of Harrison Port certainly makes Viscount Grant happy, but he will not let it go to waste. After all, the employees in the workshops and the craftsmen who have been exchanged and trained must be the white people first.
The two lords, one big and one small, raised their heads and looked at each other, smiling happily.
The study door opened. Viscount Grant opened the door and motioned for Ian to go first.
The young man had just gone out. In the reception room not far away, a white figure walked crisply and ran into Ian's arms!
Ouch - how come he looks the same as Shark?
Ian picked up the white thing that jumped into his arms and spun it around before placing it firmly on the ground: You guys are so much stronger!
He lowered his eyes and looked at his brother gently: And he has grown taller too!
Um!
Ellan, who threw himself into Ian's arms, raised his head, stared at Ian quietly with a pair of purple eyes, and then showed a big smile: I have grown taller, brother!
good!
Ian's eyes lit up, he laughed and pinched Ellan's face: And his words became smoother!
I have practiced for a long time
Although it is said to be fluent, Elan's words still have a pause that is difficult to detect by ordinary people: Bishop Baiwu said that my mind has become accustomed to such thinking. This is also a good thing, because I am not used to speaking, so it is very difficult for me to speak.
Good at meditation!
…
Brother, my meditation has become peaceful! Although I have less time, the bishop said I am very powerful!
Tranquility is the third stage of meditation in Huaiguang Church. The first two stages are 'sitting still' and 'no wave', which means that 'you can sit for a long time without being agitated, and' you can calmly look at all the troubles and emotions in your body.
anxiety without any mood swings.
And 'tranquility' means that there are very few distracting thoughts in the mind, and reaching a state of long-term tranquility and serenity. At this stage, the painful ascetic practice will also become gentle, because all the perceptions of the body will be absorbed by the meditator in a way.
Sensory coping with the external body.
Even among monks, 'tranquility' requires a long period of hard work to achieve.
As for tranquility, all that is left is 'waiting.' When meditation reaches this state, there is nothing left to actively practice. It is enough to maintain such a peaceful state of mind.
The meditation method of Huaiguang Church is obviously derived from the spiritual practice of the civilization of the previous era, and this meditation method is obviously completely different from the meditation method created by Ian. It emphasizes not directly using certain means to transform one's soul, but using
A subtle way, using the method of transforming people's thinking patterns, in turn shaping the soul from scratch.
In general, it is a method that places too much emphasis on talent. It is fine for geniuses, but for mediocre people, the effect is not as good as the meditation method created by Ian, which transforms one's soul bit by bit.
However, Elan's ability to practice to a stage close to 'tranquility' so quickly is enough to prove that he is extremely talented in this area.
No wonder, during the journey of the insect swarm, it only took Elan a mere six years to go from being a casual disciple accepted by Bishop Bai Wu to becoming a formal member capable of accepting direct inheritance from the Holy Mountain.
It may sound like nothing, but you must know that even a second-level Minos blood hunter like Redemption of Light is not a formal employee of Huaiguang Church from a certain perspective. At best, he is a contractor - and
As soon as Elan reached puberty, he was given potions.
You can get it prepared directly!
As we all know, the end of the universe is the system. Elan can reach the end directly in one step. Of course, it is because of Ian's legacy, but his own efforts and talents cannot be underestimated.
Just as Ian sees it now.
In the young man's silver-blue eyes, information about Elan was emerging.
【Elam】

【.】
Huh?
Ian was slightly startled.
He originally thought that he would only see his younger brother grow in psychic abilities, but he couldn't help but look shocked.
——Is there a strange connection between crystalline life forms?
Wait, is that so?
In the insect swarm path, that insect swarm crystal dragon?!
This Elan has indeed grown, but the growth is too barbaric, right?!
