Chapter 429 The Marquis' Invitation (33)
On the top-floor terrace of the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce, a white-haired boy sat on an armchair, reclined and stared at the starless night in the sky.
The brilliance of the phantom moon was so bright that it stained the edges of the clouds with a layer of silvery-blue fluorescent light, beams of moonlight fell down on the ground, and when they reached Shuangshu Town, they were overwhelmed by the lights of the villages and towns.
The streets are full of lights and pedestrians, and the windows of every household are hung with falling garden flowers, a kind of light yellow flower that is common in the courtyard of a home. It is named because it looks like spots of sunlight falling on the courtyard. In Nanling It symbolizes good harvest and unexpected wealth.
The so-called curfew can't really stop a large trade center like Shuangshu Town. The bosses of all the shops have paid the fines in advance, and the soldiers patrolling the streets don't want to really make life difficult for their relatives and friends, so in addition to sending additional manpower Outside of patrols, no attempt was made to close any of the shops.
In the final analysis, the chaos around Nauman City is basically fake - the Dragon Worship did not attack the city at all, the people from the Canaan Moor side are also in the city, and the ghosts on both sides are also in the quiet period, the only possibility is to do something A section chief of the Lingzhi Institute died, and the leaders were gone, and they all huddled in their own laboratories and did not go out.
Flame?
It's Feiyan is the one behind the blame, how can it really cause chaos in Nanling, at most it will engage in biological warfare, and the effect is not very good.
Just because of this, several strongholds were pulled out due to the actions of a certain knight, and the empire surrounded them in the forests and mountains. It is estimated that most of them were withdrawn to the western provinces.
Of course, they may succeed in a certain hive timeline, but at this point in time, Flameland has already exited.
Ian just stared at the lights in the city, while reading the alchemy books in the silver chip in his mind, while distracted from eating meat.
Eat a lot of meat.
The waiters of the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce delivered a steady stream of steaming dishes, including barbecued meat with browned skin and sizzling fat, and carefully cooked steamed fish with tender meat.
Even the sweet and sour pork ribs with honey vinegar that Ian ate in Jinye Town had thick juice hanging from the ribs that were almost separated from the flesh, and the whole terrace was filled with a strong fragrance.
Ian likes these very much. He chose a poultry leg and bit it off. The crispy skin cracked immediately, and the juice overflowed from it, which was extremely satisfying.
It tastes really good.he thinks.
But what really matters is the follow-up.
The chewed food enters the abdomen, and is crushed immediately by the peristaltic steel-grained stomach pouch, and on the inner side of the stomach wall, under the almost metal grinding grain, the pure black gland is secreting a special kind of decomposing enzyme, which dissolves everything into pieces. Food is transformed into a material that is easily absorbed, and then sent to other digestive systems.
Eating and digesting.The most important activity for the human body to obtain energy and growth materials.A series of chain reactions, manifested externally, is an inexplicable heat flowing up and down Ian's body.
He obviously sensed that the muscle structure in his body was being fine-tuned, and some old fat, which was used as a reserve of energy and insulation layer, was gradually being absorbed by the body and then replaced.
The reason why the steel grain starfish is very unpalatable is because its energy storage structure is too tough. Eating it is like eating rubber inlaid with iron, and the normal human body cannot digest this specialized fat. On the contrary, it will be like lactose intolerance, and even cause allergies.
And now... because the conversion process is not so fast, Ian is not sure how much defense bonus this transformation can bring to him.
But at least, he is very clear.
It doesn't taste good on its own.
"But it wasn't very tasty in the first place, so it's not bad."
After eating five times the usual amount, Ian even felt that he was still a little unsatisfied. With him as the center, bursts of heat were rising, and even created a burst of updraft on the top floor of the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce.
This is the vision caused by his physical body working at full strength, digesting food and strengthening his body.
The core of the ancient dragon was also supplemented with a large amount of source quality, which almost made up for the consumption of Ian's previous killing of Baron Ryan and the section chief of the Institute of Gnosis.
The ability of the stomach sac to dissolve iron has been confirmed. This digestive organ is indeed one of the sublimation organs that Ian needs most now.
"Ian."
And just when Ian finished the experiment and planned to go back to his room to rest.
Suddenly, Mr. Yinfang came over with a serious face and called softly: "I have something to do."
"What is it, sir?"
The boy stopped, and he looked at him curiously.
He has never seen Mr. Yinfang look so serious to himself - this kind old man has always been very cheerful, even if he is troubled in his heart, he will hide his expression, and he has never put his worries on his face like he is now .
"Someone is looking for you. It should be a good thing...but it must be unusual."
The old man didn't know Ian's inner thoughts, he just sighed lightly, then frowned and said: "There is an emissary from the Marquis below."
"Ian, Marquis Barton wants to see you."
"interesting."
Ian raised his eyebrows, and he laughed: "Then what are you waiting for, I'll go downstairs now."
The emissary of the Marquis of Barton was waiting downstairs. He was a young Iron Man who was dressed like an ordinary adventurer.
He was wearing a dark brown cloak and carried a hunting bow. The quiver was covered by the cloak and hung under the leather armor, which looked quite cheap.
In addition, there were a lot of small pieces of equipment and a machete hanging on his belt. The handle of the machete was very old, but it was wiped clean.
Obviously, if the adventurer hadn't shown the documents from the Marquis of Barton, Mr. Yinfang would never have come to remind Ian so cautiously.
When a nobleman sends such a dark man who has been hiding for an unknown period of time, instead of a knight in full armor, to invite a person.
That situation must be much more dangerous than usual.
"Ian Knight, Lord Marquis invites you, as a representative of Port Harrison, to go to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow to participate in the banquet meeting with the envoy of Canaan Moore."
The messenger said blankly, and he took out an invitation card: "The time is before noon tomorrow, please be sure to arrive on time."
The emissary's tone was emotionless and businesslike, and the underlying command was obvious.
But Ian seemed unable to comprehend this unkind and dangerous omen. Instead, he smiled at the messenger of the Iron People and said one word: "Seven times."
The envoy showed a somewhat puzzled expression. He seemed completely unable to understand what Ian said seven times, and was not moved by Ian's words at all.
But the emotional perception brought by the extreme domain made the young man sure that the other party was indeed shocked for a moment.
Therefore, he continued firmly: "Just now, you spied on the chamber of commerce three times from the corner of the street, the roof in the distance, and the crowd, and confirmed my location."
"Then use your flying bird partner to determine my position in the sky, and then use the small telescope on your left to determine my movement twice."
"And before you finally came to find me, you used some kind of sublimator's ability to confirm my strength again."
"A total of seven times, no one noticed, very cautious, and very powerful."
The adventurer was silent for a while, then smiled, and withdrew the invitation in his hand.
"Ian Knight." He nodded to Ian, took out something from his arms, and said calmly: "You have proved yourself, please forget what I said before."
He handed Ian a badge: "The general invites you to have dinner with him tomorrow evening."
"The general said that you can come later, he doesn't mind, but the meat will be eaten up, so we can only drink tea with him."
