Chapter 531 Ian: I Feel I'm Isolated (33)

"Why haven't you replied to me yet? Something went wrong with the review?"

However, until the afternoon, after Ian finished his experiments, he still hadn't seen any news from the association in his contact crystal board.

This can't help but surprise Ian—he didn't propose a new theory this time, but just published a paper in the name of improving medicine. Although it was a bit shocking for his age, pharmacy was always improving.

In fact, before Ian, many people have already tried to modify the magical weapon potion, but it is a bit difficult, and there is a lot of need for repeated experiments. Not everyone has Ian's prophetic power and the Ellen family's Sufficient budget, so did not make it to the end.

Ian didn't intend to monopolize his reputation either. He had already contacted the other alchemists who cited the papers and reached an agreement. In this way, the association should be able to give a result soon.

But it didn't work out. He had been waiting for almost a week, and the initial review and storage notice was not sent out.

"Isn't it true that some noble alchemist hacked my thesis and planned to change it to his own name?"

Even Ian couldn't help thinking of this very exaggerated possible development, but in fact this kind of thing really happened.

At that time, when Axel, the keeper of the soil, had just succeeded to the throne, a grassroots alchemist was forcibly taken away by a noble alchemist. The research results were forcibly taken away. No one believed that it was the result of his research.

But fortunately, Axel, who succeeded to the throne, immediately launched a major cleansing of the old aristocratic system. Of course, needless to say, the lucky alchemist had a happy ending, while the oppressive noble family was ruined.

Since then, most of the newly emerging aristocratic forces will not, at least they will not do such shameless things so arrogantly.

Shaking his head, shaking off his illusions, Ian contacted the association and asked about his thesis review.

Two bad news.

The bad news is that no one has robbed Ian of his thesis, it's just that the association has too many things to do recently and has no time to review it.

Now Ian has no way to show his academic ability by slapping the brainless nobleman, and by the way, he will become famous in the imperial capital and publicize his theory of 'ultimate potion'.

It's a pity that an opportunity for exposure and free advertising is missing.

The person in charge expressed apologies, they will expedite the review as soon as possible, but basically don't think about it before the end of the month.

Another bad news is that the big one is coming.

"What big one is coming?"

Ian was a little confused when he heard this sentence.

Of course, the original words of the person in charge of the Alchemy Association cannot be such simple and easy-to-understand words as "the big one is coming". He said it very euphemistically, and the general meaning is that the Imperial Alchemy Association will have an extremely important task for some reason recently. It needs to be completed, and the danger of this task is quite high, and several masters will participate.

After hearing the young man's question, the person in charge reminded again tactfully that an alchemist of Ian's level could easily be selected, and maybe Ian would know what is big by then.

Saying this kind of thing means that Ian will definitely not be selected-to put it bluntly, it is just perfunctory.

The Riddler is really damn good.

With a sense of indignation towards the Riddler, Ian frowned slightly, but he had some guesses in his mind: "It's the sixth-generation aerospace armored power furnace, right? The armor development speed of the Republic of Ganterigum It’s too fast, even the assault armor that can fly at several times the speed of sound can already be installed in line, but the empire is still stuck in the completion of the power furnace.”

Air combat armor is quite different from land combat and sea battle armor. Not only must the power output be higher, but it also needs to be more stable to ensure that the armor can complete various difficult maneuvers.

The level of the empire's alchemy furnace is actually the best in the world, but it lags behind in the sixth generation of armor. It is reasonable to ask the relevant alchemist masters to tackle the difficulties in the past.

But the question is what does this have to do with Ian?He is currently showing as an alchemist specializing in potions.

And, why 'dangerous'?
To be honest, Ian has been studying behind closed doors recently to digest knowledge, so he doesn't pay much attention to outside news.But it's only two months, what else can happen?
It actually happened.

After knowing Ian's actions, Master Gesai communicated specially to give Ian the answer.

In the recent period, the situation of the battle between Grand Duke Sorin's territory and Flame Land on the Western Plains has worsened.

As the espionage war intensifies, the means of struggle between Flameland and the Empire have become more intense.

After the first use of biological weapons in Flameland, the spies of the Empire released a large number of parasitic floaters in the coastal area of ​​Flameland—the larvae of this kind of mosquitoes will parasitize local fish schools, kill the fish and use the corpses as reproduction Large nests, and the secretions of floaters can accelerate the reproduction of coastal algae, causing ocean poisoning.

In contrast, Flameland also released a large number of extremely vile corruption fungi in the empire, infecting large areas of farmland and woods in the west, and the wild beasts and monsters living in it were also corrupted and parasitized by the fungus, and entered a state of rage.

Nanling has relatively good self-purification ability, so the situation is not obvious, and Harrison Port has not changed much, but it is said that a large number of refugees have poured out of the Western Territory, and among these refugees are spies from Flameland, who specialize in spreading fungi everywhere.

Strictly guarding against it is not the solution. It is necessary to develop a special medicine for this hatching fungus as soon as possible or to contain the organisms.

And all bioalchemy weapon research is 'dangerous'.

That's why the Royal Alchemy Association has been so busy these days—in fact, they've been working overtime for a month.

No wonder there was no time to review Ian's thesis.

At this point, Ian couldn't help even if he wanted to - he was too young and too 'new'.

Although it is true that the young man cannot be Feiyan's spy, it is always safe to fight against similar biological weapons. Ian, a new elite alchemist, cannot join the team unless he is really unused.

In this regard, Ian has nothing to do. Qualifications, prestige and fame are indeed what he lacks the most. Strength can only make up for part of it, but it still takes time to hone it.

"How many refugees have been sent out from the Western Territory... If you keep sending them like this, the people will be empty, right? What is Grand Duke Sorin thinking..."

From another angle, Ian looked back at the operation in the western region, and couldn't help being confused by Grand Duke Sorin's choice: "The current world is going roughly the same way as the hive path, but the empire has discovered that something is wrong with Grand Duke Sorin. , Recently, there have indeed been rumors that 'the Grand Duke has reached a cooperation with Feiyandi', and it is estimated that some actions will be taken before the end of the year."

"The question is, why?"

"Grand Duke Thorin can certainly blame the empire for ignoring him and wanting to consume his strength to fight Flameland, but his cooperation with Flameland is to poison his own territory? How can there be such a lord... something is wrong with this No matter how stupid Grand Duke Thorin is, it is impossible for him to consume his true power to take revenge on the empire."

"If he's not stupid, there's definitely something wrong with him. And a big one at that."

Thinking of this, Ian decided to suspend the alchemy experiment and collect information about the Western Grand Duke from various channels.

Then, from the channel of Dragon Worship, he got a piece of information that made him extremely confused and felt uneasy.

Just as he had expected in the train hijacking case.

Xiou and Lübeck, who went to raid Feiyan, were found out and captured.

Moreover, Fei Yandi used a special method to restrain Xiou's dragon soul in turn through the connection in the prosthetic body.
