Chapter 163 The Extreme Domain (33)

"The real mission?"

Although Ian showed a proper puzzled expression, he didn't ask any more questions, but waited for the Viscount's explanation.

Sure enough, Viscount Grant didn't really wait for the two white people, one old and one young, to continue to cheer, and continued on his own: "Actually, you should also be aware that if it's just the element crystal shell, it's impossible to let those A doting Marchioness who sent her son to our country place in Port Harrison."

When talking about the countryside, the Viscount didn't laugh at himself, but elaborated seriously.

He could even say calmly: "Ellen's family has three sons and two daughters. Our young master is the third son. He has two half-brothers, an older sister and a biological younger sister."

"The blond middle-aged man with the nose on his forehead is his uncle, Patrick Ellen, the general director of the southern region of the Platinum Iridium Workshop."

"And the slightly hunchbacked old man is one of the [-] honored royal masters of the Royal Alchemy Association, and one of the two masters who are still teaching within the association. He is also my alchemy tutor, Gosai Abed."

Speaking of this, the Viscount did not continue, because he believed that the two people present could understand what he meant.

"indeed."

Elder Pude nodded thoughtfully: "Although strategic creatures are important, they really need to be divided into levels. A few sublimators of the first energy level are enough-element crystal shells are not considered magical beasts in essence. An ordinary detective The team can complete the material recovery task."

"At most, a second-level team leader is enough. This young master is worthy of this configuration, but the two are really a bit fanfare."

"Patrick may not be able to make a move." Viscount Grant said: "The competition within the Ellen family is very fierce now...Little Ethan's two brothers and that sister are not easy-going lamps. Although Pat is not smart, he will not choose Take a side—especially Ethan."

——No, he has already chosen, but he did not choose Yisen.

Ian complained in his heart, he knew that the viscount's conjecture was correct, the reason for the blond nobleman to come here was absolutely impossible to be the element crystal shell, and the other party was obviously not very interested in this task.

On the contrary, he has other things in mind. As for whether this matter is the real mission of the viscount, or to assassinate his nephew... that is another matter.

"Anyway."

And Viscount Grant made a conclusion: "Besides the element crystal shell, the Ellen family must have other plans, and maybe the element shell is just a cover-up."

When the Viscount said this, his tone was firm. Both Ian and Elder Pude knew very well that the other party must have obtained some information to dare to be so sure.

In fact, it is true - thanks to the special product trade in recent years, Viscount Grant has a lot of channels in the Imperial City. Of course, it may also be due to his father's past grace. Most of his sources are very accurate.

"Pud, Ian."

The man stared at the two Bai Zhimin with piercing eyes: "For you, this is an opportunity."

"Ian, I am amazed at your talent, you are also very smart, and you have not been tempted to know that staying in Harrison Port is the best choice for you-but what Master Gosser said is not wrong, compared to I will only delay your potential, so for this mission, you must maintain a good relationship with Master Gosai."

"He is the only master in the Alchemy Association who is still educating the younger generation. He has a complete set of alchemy classics in his hands. The collection is rich and comprehensive. I am afraid that the entire empire will not be able to find a second one. As long as he is willing to help you , you don’t have to worry about self-study material at all.”

He turned his head and looked at Elder Pude: "Old fellow, you are thinking about the opportunity to lead the family to clean up your reputation. The first emperor relegated you, but now His Majesty doesn't care too much. As long as you make contributions and show your value, Getting back the surname is just around the corner."

It has to be said that Viscount Grant has done a good job in drawing big cakes and guiding people. This ability has nothing to do with learning ability, but a natural instinct, which Ian also admires.

But... Ian sensed a sense of urgency from the other party's words.

"Oh... I probably understand."

The young man Bai Zhimin had a realization: "If there is a so-called real mission, it is definitely inseparable from the maze. It may even be the ruins!"

"Viscount Grant is also a descendant of the previous pioneering team. He should also know the existence of the South China Sea Great Relics Group and regard it as a forbidden zone. Therefore, he wants to pay close attention to the movements of this survey team and use us as nails to insert into it."

"We can indeed gain benefits, and we will definitely do our best. The mission of the survey team will be smoother with the help of us locals, and he can also successfully obtain information. It is a win-win situation."

After almost giving such instructions, Ian left the Viscount's Mansion, while Elder Pude stayed behind. The two still had some government and military affairs to discuss.

When he left, he saw that Yam and Lamar were also in the lobby on the first floor of the Viscount's Mansion. They seemed to be talking about something, and they both smiled and nodded at Ian as a greeting.

Because of the missions of the Ellen family and the imperial capital, the high-level management of Port Harrison has started to function again... Maybe it's not just that.

But Ian didn't care much about that.

Now, he pays more attention to his strength.

"My sand armor apprentice has already cultivated three source matter organs. In the past four years, he has been improving his physical fitness. Now he has fully adapted. It can be said that even when the teacher was at the first level, he should be able to Between my brothers and sisters."

On the way home, Ian couldn't help thinking about his sublimation heritage.

Hilliard once said back then that because of Ian's superb source seed, the speed and quality of his condensed source matter far exceeded those of ordinary sublimators. Even the descendants of great nobles would not choose him for safety reasons Radical high-efficiency source species.

It is precisely because of such a high-quality source seed that Ian was able to quickly accumulate the source quality for building his own sublimation organs in the follow-up, and became an official sublimator.

However, he was too young at that time, and even if he became a sublimator, he could not fully exert that extraordinary power.

until now.

Now Ian, after four years of precipitation, has reached what Hilliard said, theoretically, the limit of the first energy level of the "Sand Armor Apprentice".

His three sublimation organs, 'Heart of Fertile Soil', 'Pure Rock Crystal Bone', and 'Sand Armor Rock Core' are almost fully mature.

And the reason why he didn't completely fix them into a complete form was only because of a possibility that Hilliard told him at the beginning.

——There are speculations about the fifth energy level and above, the 'extreme domain'.
