Chapter 607 The Omen of the Prophet (33)

"Is this kind of inheritance?"

Ian is not stupid, he can hear that Grand Duke Thorin's meaning is very clear - Adbert is the 'inheritance of Inaiga II'.

He gave Albert to himself.

Leaving aside whether Yadbert is willing to follow him or not, a living person... Uh, the dead king should also be considered a living person, right?In short, whether he has the right to give Yadbert to himself is irrelevant.

The Grand Duke is really right.

Ian looked at the dead king researcher with his eyes wide open, almost stunned - yes, both the dead king and the dead soul are here, and the R&D personnel of the core technology are also here, although Adbert I may not know it, but the knowledge in his brain, the techniques that Grand Duke Thorin let him learn without knowing it, are obviously almost the complete set of Inaiga's inheritance.

Not only that, but Yadbert is still a living person and can continue to develop technology.This guy is young, only in his early twenties, and the future is promising!

【this? ! 】

How could Yadbert think that it was this expansion?And he was fired?No, that's not the point...

Did he get fired just now? !
So what did Grand Duke Sorin plan to do to himself?
He thought he was going to die!
Obviously not.If Ian had to guess, Grand Duke Sorin wanted to cultivate a 'successor' who had a personality completely opposite to his own, but also possessed Inaiga's legacy.He is very pessimistic about his own destiny, or his views on the world, so no matter what his actions are, he wants to leave 'traces'.

Or 'Tombstone'.

The dead king and Yadbert are both his tombstones.

[Glenknight, do you really want to reproduce the dead king?Or even a dead river? ! 】

And Yadbert Shicheng is in this place—although he had the courage to question Grand Duke Sorin just now, but when Grand Duke Sorin said to let him follow Ian and expel him, he actually turned his head, sincerely Ask Ian for his opinion, and advise him: [Once this technology is born and started to be used, it will definitely go in an evil direction! 】

[In the past, I thought technology was not evil or good, but now I don't think so... All technologies that involve playing with the soul and essence of life are a taboo! 】

"As far as morality is concerned, Adalbert, you are right."

Ian calmly glanced at the dead king beside him, and said in a low voice, "But I've never been moral. I just want to fulfill my wish."

"For me, the technology of Dead King and Dead River is a must...Adbert, you are a very good person and an exceptional researcher."

"But you are not someone who can reach the top of a mountain, let alone the sky."

Ian put the heavy iron sword in his hand back into its sheath. He knew that there was no point in fighting anymore: "But Grand Duke Sorin is right. After leaving the laboratory, he will be inspected by the empire. He has no Energy to protect you... It is indeed a bit troublesome for you, a dead king, to keep going."

"I just happen to be able to help you a little bit."

Raising his head, the knight looked at the Dead River armed forces in mid-air.

Even if he wanted to beat up Grand Duke Sorin, the other party would not fight back, just remove the projection.

At this moment, after being suppressed by Grand Duke Sorin, the originally dark blue Dead River Armed Forces began to slowly bloom with silver light——During the time when Grand Duke Sorin projected his body, through the fourth energy level The fine-tuning and reconstruction of the strong, the current Dead River Armed Forces has undergone a transformation.

A transformation that is enough for Ian to pay attention to.

【anymore question? 】

At this moment, Grand Duke Thorin was still patient.

I have to say that because he knew the existence of Ian, or the Knight of the Valley, he was in a very happy mood, even with a smile: [Outside, King Tianhong and Mikhail are still fighting, and Moze was thrown by me. To the void, it’s almost time to come back now]

[If you want to leave, it is best to take advantage of the recent period]

To be honest, Ian has nothing more to ask, thank you Adbert, he has asked all the questions.

What the Grand Duke of Sorin did is the classic Terran sublimator—even though he is a nobleman who values ​​his people very much, he is still a sublimator in the final analysis. He will do his best to protect his people. souls, then kill them all and turn them into tombstones.

You can't say that Grand Duke Thorin doesn't care about or love his people... He's just naive, a madman.

This is not a disease that cannot be cured, but it is a pity that the patient is too strong.

When Ian is strong in the future, he will definitely ask Grand Duke Thorin to treat him well.

As for Dead River and Dead King—Ian wasn't lying.

In his opinion, this technology is definitely not just such things as tinder and artificial hell, it has more mysteries and more uses.

It can even become a part of the core of his future territory...

Grand Duke Sorin saw that Ian had nothing to say to him, so he nodded slightly: [Then, everything will be witnessed by time—although I don’t know who you are, but the inheritor of Hilliard, I look forward to the day you succeed】

[But if you also give up... there is no need to be too disappointed.Because it is indeed not a problem that we can solve]

"I'm afraid it will have to wait until I die."

Ian said lightly, he didn't think there would be such a day: "Compared to this, the empire already knows that you are going to be independent, don't expect Feiyandi to help you, because the fortress group on the far side of Yandi was also instigated by the empire It's over—the war will be postponed, and your fears have become reality."

"When the Empire and Flame Land are ready to start an all-out war again...the Grand Duchy of Thorin will be destroyed."

"Besides, you don't really think Flameland will keep its promise, do you? The Central Laboratory of Avak was destroyed, and the Dead River Armed Forces was lost. They don't care about your excuses. They will definitely betray you."

He knew very well that Grand Duke Sorin's worries were correct—if it wasn't for him on the way of the insect swarm, the empire and Flameland would definitely start a full-scale war, and at that time, it would be good for the Grand Duke of Sorin to become a war wasteland Yes, probably biochemical wasteland, gunpowder wasteland and natural disaster wasteland together.

Nanling couldn't stay out of it either, as his farming plans would be disturbed.

That being the case, it's better for the Grand Duke to be on guard against this... Even if Grand Duke Sorin continues the plan of the dead king, the little power he left behind can cause some disturbance to Fei Yandi, at least know a little bit of news in advance.

Speaking of which... what about the Institute of Spiritual Knowledge?
Ian suddenly thought of one thing.

The Death River Armed Forces of Flameland regards the souls of other people as the driver's fuel, and uses these fuels to continuously strengthen the driver. As long as the driver can resist this passive "one-to-one complement", then the essence of his soul will It will improve rapidly, and with the Death River weapon, there is basically no difficulty in reaching the third energy level, and the fourth energy level is not impossible.

Of course, the driver's potential should also be good, otherwise, he would be like Viscount Avak, who was disturbed by the soul that was used as fuel after being resurrected a few times, and turned into a monster thinking almost like a demon, completely chaotic.

This can be regarded as a successful research—and Needless to say, the dead king, Ian personally experienced it, and felt that it was also very successful.

Could it be that the plan of the Institute of the Intellect...the 'savior of the unknown' failed?

Ian is not surprised at this point. After all, the research of the Academy of Gnosis is the most difficult, and they have no intention of succeeding. They just plan to gain a little more related psionic technology in the process of trying to break through this impossible problem.

Compared with this savior, the 'Nightmare Demon King''s plan to summon void spawn might be more destructive than Dead River and Dead King combined—if it succeeds, I'm afraid a fifth-level powerhouse will be needed to come to the rescue.

But Ian felt something was wrong.

He suddenly felt something was not normal.

According to what Ian has seen and heard in the imperial capital, he knows very well that the Institute of the Intellect is the imperial department most loyal to the emperor...so many of their bad deeds have not been liquidated.

Emperor Axel almost acquiesced, allowing the Institute of the Intellect to 'steal' the precious collections in the Imperial Capital Library to the Adalbert and Avak laboratories, allowing them to complete their respective technologies... just like the flames Agreeing to come up with their own technology to cooperate, all three parties have needs for each other's technology.

The needs of Grand Duke Thorin are now obvious, and Flameland also has the experience in making the ultimate "biological ether weapon" such as the dead river weapon.

So what about the Institute of Intellectual Knowledge?

The plan of the Institute of the Intellectual is the "savior of the nameless" that uses psychic birth, resurrection, artificial human body, and explores the limits of psychic energy...

"Wait." Ian suddenly understood: "Isn't this still an echo?"

There is no doubt that these are all technologies related to psionic energy, resurrection, and even 'echo'!
yes.This is not Ian's nonsense. In fact, when Ian saw the essence of the dead king, he engraved the "soul" on himself, and when he recreated "resurrection" in the future, the first thing he thought of was " Isn't this the echo? '.

If coupled with soul transfer, it is almost a 'mirror image'!

"I see……"

Ian was stunned for a while: "It seems that the real purpose of the Institute of the Intellect has already been completed! All the research they will conduct next is of the type that it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not!"

"No wonder... no wonder!"

Grand Duke Sorin's ambition may have been seen through by Axel the Defender from the very beginning.

Of course, they haven't seen it through yet.

That is, Grand Duke Thorin was so courageous that he dared to use the "laboratory accident", that is, the incident of "Adbert released the souls of the dead and killed everyone in the territory of Avak" to destroy the ultimate goal of his own research And cover up!

As long as Adalbert is intact, the Dead River weapon in the hands of Viscount Avak can still be used, and the "souls of all residents of Avak Territory" in it are still there... so for Grand Duke Thorin, it is basically equivalent to " No one dies, all plans are completed, Feiyan steals chickens and loses nothing, loses his weapons and loses people, and the empire will think his plan has failed, so he relaxes his vigilance' This is the ending of a complete victory.

Ian believes that the reason why the empire didn't expect Thorin to become independent in the way of the swarm was precisely because of the apparent "failure" of the Avak Territory—they never expected that theoretically all the research results of Sorin would be destroyed. Grand Duke Lin is actually able to carry out the plan of the king of death and take most of the citizens to the center of the earth!

【Um? 】

After hearing Ian's warning, Grand Duke Thorin immediately became serious—most of his energy and thoughts were put on the plan of Avakland, and he didn't know much about the things on the other side of Flameland.

It's better, this is a top secret, Ian himself knows it through the prophet, and Feiyan himself doesn't know it.

[Thank you for your information] He nodded seriously, then glanced at Adalbert: [Knight, I will leave the Dead River Armament to you]

[I want to take all the souls in arms.They are still my people, but the souls of the two of you... are already your people]

[Don't let them down.I won't say sorry]

After finishing speaking, with the flash of silver light, the silver moon directly above Little Garden disappeared, and the radiant Dead River Armed Forces fell obliquely from the midair as if they had lost their operators, and fell on the ground. above the earth.

It happened to fall right in front of Ian.

"……he's gone."

Ian looked around, he seemed to be speaking to Adalbert, but also to himself.

Sighing, the young man walked forward with a somewhat complicated expression. He raised his hand and pressed it on the dead river that was no longer scarlet but black in front of him: "Leave it to me... hmph, there are no completely successful experiments." It doesn’t hurt to send it out, does it? But it doesn’t matter, anyway, I just plan to use it as a reference.”

"Exactly, it's time for me to prepare my ether armament...huh?"

The moment he touched the Dead River Armor, Ian's expression suddenly changed.

He felt that on the Dead River armed forces, condensed into endless 'emotions' like mountains roaring and tsunami!
Oops—forgot, even though the soul has been taken away, there are still millions of soul-level hatred and despair left on this weapon!

Adbert on the side was also in extremely complicated moods. The final battle with Viscount Avak and the appearance of Grand Duke Thorin were beyond his expectations in every aspect.

Although the result is not the worst ending, it is still impossible for him to accept and understand so simply.

He turned his head, and originally wanted to have a chat with Ian, trying to understand what kind of person this fellow dead king, who might also be a colleague in the future, was like.

But Yadbert noticed in astonishment that in the eyes of the Knight of the Valley, there was an extremely bright, water-colored radiance like a blue sun.

Time is like water, with layers of waves.A piece of golden light was reflected in the pupils that were like vortexes.

——Because I know too many truths... The vision of prescience has ushered in a new evolution!
Before starting to predict, Ian saw it, saw a golden road shining in endless black resentment and despair...

That is the way.

It is also a prophecy.

A classic, clear... prophetic omen.
