Chapter 589 Ian's Comfort (23)

"The objectives have been accomplished."

After arming Lübeck and preparing the team, Hui Jian found Ian: "Next we have to prepare to withdraw - the Church of Huaiguang will not be involved in the conflicts and disputes between the kingdoms, even if it is the empire and the Suo The same is true of Grand Duke Lin's 'civil strife'."

【Ian, I suggest you evacuate】

On the surface, it was just an ordinary announcement, but in the spiritual communication, Huijian gave quite serious suggestions: [The Lord of the Dead has those fourth energy levels to solve. No matter what experiment Grand Duke Sorin wants to do, Avak The background of the laboratory cannot exceed the expectations of the empire]

[If he can hide himself until the plan is successful, he may still be able to resist, just like how he was able to become independent when he obtained the "Apocalypse Armed Forces" from the pre-era civilization when he secretly developed the Great Labyrinth in the Fortress of the High Ridge]

【If Grand Duke Sorin really got the possibility of leading to the fifth energy level, or some kind of ability of the fifth energy level, from Inaiga's inheritance, it will have to wait for the possibility to become a reality】

——It's not worth risking your life just for a possibility.

Hui Jian obviously thought that Ian wanted to get the inheritance of Inaiga II, so he took the risk to do so.

And Ian...

To be honest, he didn't know either.

"Xio was rescued, so were the goblins, Lübeck even became a clergyman. For humans, Viscount Avak took away their souls... Anyway, it's not something I can care about now. "

Thinking of this, Ian looked around the entire thorny plain, staring at the 'not dangerous' choice gates in the distance.

If you want to leave, now is indeed the best time.

But the problem is that the things he wants to know the most...the truth about the dead king, the true purpose of Grand Duke Sorin, and the inheritance of Inaiga II, none of them are close to him now.

Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, and knowledge is the same.

But he couldn't force the Huaiguang Rescue Team to accompany him on the adventure.

So, after thinking about it, Ian decided to wait until later.

Anyway, they will have to walk together for a while—after all, according to the words of the Institute of the Intellect, the Dead King is firmly blocked at the exit of the subspace maze.

Although he is now leading a team to crusade against the last researcher faction in the laboratory, his lair must be heavily defended.

Actually, not necessarily... Ian can't even see the danger now.

In short, after helping them get through there, consider whether to leave or stay.

Therefore, after agreeing to Huijian's plan to leave, Ian took the lead again and led the Huaiguang rescue team towards the exit, which is the lair of the dead king.

But have to say...it's been a pretty long road.

Even Ian spent several hours all the way from the entrance to the central area of ​​the Thorn Plain... The road to the dead king's lair is almost as long.

Ian doesn't need to rest, he has plenty of energy and physical strength to fight, but the Huaiguang Rescue Team is different - they fought all the way here in a serious way, and after all, they are just ordinary people with strong will and tenacity.

They need rest.

So, En took them another way - a safer, but also longer, way with plenty of time to rest.

Subspace labyrinth, black soil pastoral, decayed land.

The phantoms in this small garden are very weak, mostly plants and human phantoms, not a single monster.Ian believes that this is probably a small garden transformed into a subspace of the potion cultivation garden built in the laboratory. The black corrosive soil will gradually melt people's shoes and flesh, and the rotting flesh mud forms flesh and blood quagmires here.

This is probably why there are no Warcraft here.

Of course, the members of the Huaiguang Rescue Team are not so easily eroded off their shoes. Rather, this is already a rare resting point for the Subspace Labyrinth.

The rescue team set up a camp here, and some of them fought more and were more tired. For example, the swordsmen headed by Redemption and followed Ian to charge the whole way even fell asleep after eating some dry food. Enter deep sleep to recuperate the spirit.

Anyway, if they really need to fight, they can get up immediately, seize the time to sleep for a while, and with a little more energy, they will have an extra chance to leave alive in the final breakout battle.

The rescue team rested alternately, and Ian didn't want to expose his specialness, so he decided to sleep for a while during the second batch.Anyway, with the silver chip and the warning from the vision horizon, he could foresee that there would be no problems with this break.

【Ian, tell me, will mom scold me this time】

While on guard, Xiou's dragon soul made a pitiful sound—until now, he didn't understand what was going on. After being deeply grateful to the Huaiguang Rescue Team and Ian, he began to feel a little Nervous: [I volunteered to help my mother solve the troubles of Flameland, but they caught me... Now, I have become my mother's trouble...]

When he said this, the fear and pity in Xiou's voice was like a puppy that was about to be abandoned.

——Essentially, Xiou is very inferior.

Ian listened to the voice of his real dragon friend, and he thought silently: "Because he has been taken care of by his mother for many years, he feels that he is a drag on his mother... This body is so bad that he can't even move freely. It even became the weakness of Mother King of the Mountain."

"Xio must have been very scared all the time, right? Afraid that his mother would abandon the weak Him... Maybe the instinct of the dragon clan will do this kind of thing, abandon unqualified offspring, and optimize the bloodline of the offspring."

That's why Xiou hopes to be useful, to help his mother, and to do something for the Dragon Worship Cult as much as possible.

but……

According to the description of the silver chip, Ian knew that Xiou was the child that the King of the Mountain tried his best to protect.

It was impossible for him to be born alive at all, and he was destined to be a stillborn child. It was the king of the mountain who fought hard with his destiny to save his child and raise Xiou safely.

Until now.

But... Maybe it's the pride of the dragon, or it's simply never thought about it - the king of the mountain didn't show his deep love, so much so that Xiou had no idea about his own existence. A kind of inferiority complex.

"80.00% of the world's problems may be the education of the original family."

Ian thought to himself: "It's really difficult. Should I talk to Xiou? I feel that we should wait until the future king of the mountain is present. It won't work if I say it unilaterally."

After making up his mind, Ian comforted Xiou who was flustered: "Don't worry, Xiou, your mother will definitely be proud of you - you want to help your mother out of your own will, if it's not an intelligence issue , Let Feiyan land lay an ambush in advance, you must have succeeded."

"Besides, your existence has completely exposed the central laboratory of Avak, which has attracted the empire, Feiyan, and Grand Duke Sorin to fight against each other. The Dragon Cult just needs this opportunity, for the future development of the Canaan Moor Ancient Dragon Labyrinth. Find an excuse to cooperate with the Empire, your mother will definitely be overjoyed at this excuse to cooperate with the Empire."

"And, haven't I already rescued you?"

Ian's comfort was orderly. According to his thinking, Xiou would definitely turn his worries into joy at this moment.

But without thinking about it, Xiou's mood became even more depressed: [Don't be happy for my mother, I already knew that I want to do a lot of things for my mother, but whether it succeeds or fails, it doesn't even take my head off. will take a shot]

【He won't even hit me and scold me, it makes me feel so uncomfortable】

Ian frowned, and he said strangely: "Slap on the head? Hit you?"

"Xio, what are you talking about, your mother is a real dragon—look at your head, if the old man slaps him with a slap, wouldn't the reverse-growing scales and thorns on your head make you full? Bloody head? Let alone hit you, He definitely doesn’t want you to die!”

Ian said firmly: "Listen to me, the next time you use your human body to talk to your mother, at that time, he might be willing to hug you."

【Really? 】

Xiou was a little moved, he had never done this before—the King of the Mountain did have a humanoid prosthetic body, but it was only used for meeting with Dragon Worshipers and discussing cooperation with some powerful forces. Xiou had never done this before. At that time, I used my human body to talk to my mother.

"At least you have to try."

Ian smiled, and he began to understand why Anfa and Xiou were pen pals—this little dragon’s character is indeed quite cute. For a person like Anfa who obviously has a lot of secrets and has a lot of things in his heart, there is such a thing. Friends do bring a lot of relief.

"Let's rest first."

It's time for Ian to rest, and Ian is going to pretend to sleep, but he also urges Xiou to sleep: "You are not in a good condition now, don't waste too much power, lest I rescue a A broken dragon with a damaged soul will make everyone unhappy."

【Yeah, I'm asleep then】

Xiou went to sleep obediently, and Ian also came to the rest camp beside him. He lay on the sleeping blanket and closed his eyes.

He thought it was just a doze.

But for some reason, Ian fell into a real sleep in the subspace maze.

as far as...

Resonate with a soul.

Resonate with many souls.
