Chapter 862 Now Becomes Earl of Silver Peak (6000)

Different from the sunny plain environment of the primeval tropical jungle of Canaan Moore, the Nanling group forest with the Baisen Mountains as the core is more inclined to the mountain forest environment with continuous rain and abundant water systems.

There has been heavy rain in recent days, and it should have been difficult to walk in the Mountain Autonomous Region because of the swollen river and muddy land, but because Xiahui took the new policy, all the mountain tribes under the call of the Dragon God Messenger have carried out preparations for the surrounding environment of important roads. The building itself is also very strong, so it has not been affected in any way.

It was raining heavily, and Scott, the leader of the Xiahui leader, was sitting in a hot air balloon, overlooking the roads around the territory together with Guying (Adelbert), the alchemist leader of the Xiahui leader.

Lush mountains and forests, the shadowy scenery is dim, and there are pyroxene lamps on both sides of the main road of Xiahui Lord to illuminate the road and both sides, making the whole territory look full of vitality.

Like the only light in the darkness.

"Why did your lord ask us to come out..."

Scott was very puzzled. Ever since he received Ian's remote communication a few days ago, he knew that it would take some time for his lord to come back—not just about Canaan Moore, even if he returned to the Empire, he would have to Deal with the Institute of Truth of the Institute of Intellectual Knowledge.

As a prophet, when he gained great prestige, he would also be subject to many explicit or covert constraints.

So, when Ian sent a message this morning, telling him that he and Guying were waiting for the surprise that 'will appear on the outskirts of the city', he knew that this was definitely something that other spies in the territory, especially the Empire, would not know about. 'surprise'.

Even though the eldest prince and the Marquis of Barton have long been the most reliable friends, there are some cards that even the allies cannot tell.

"Wait patiently."

Seeming to see Scott's expectation and nervousness, Guying comforted in a soft voice: "Ian always likes to make plans. If he doesn't tell the exact time, it means that this matter is out of his control."

"In contrast, the value of the surprise that allows him to accept this is definitely beyond our imagination."

indeed so.

Hearing Gu Ying's consolation, Scott couldn't help but gradually calm down, but in contrast, his doubts about Gu Ying were getting thicker and denser like the fog at night.

—Who is he?First-class alchemy, strength beyond the second energy level, easy-talking and approachable personality without grabbing power, an alchemy supervisor who basically has no shortcomings except for always asking for money...

If it weren't for the mismatched eye color, Scott seriously suspected that Gu Ying was Ian's twin brother.

At this time, Guying suddenly changed his expression slightly, and he looked at an open space on the outskirts of Xiahuiling - where a grain storage center was supposed to be built, but it has not yet started.

Because in fact, the underground of this 'granary' is where the most secret underground experiment area of ​​Xiahui Territory is located.

"Here we come." The white-haired researcher said, followed by a burst of fluctuations.

The originally gloomy outskirts of the city in the rainy day suddenly lit up with streaks of silver light. Countless silver powders were dotted in the hazy rain curtain, and a door was slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, metal boxes the size of several containers were transported out of the door.

"coming!"

At this moment, Scott didn't hesitate at all. He jumped off the balloon with Gu Ying, and the white-haired researcher of the Dead King led him to the ground and floated around the container.

Seeing this scene, Scott was really full of surprises - teleportation, although there are indeed some powerful inheritances with this ability, but at least it is a sublimation skill that can only be used at the fourth energy level.

The value of the materials transported by teleportation can be imagined, and more importantly, there are related sublimators who are willing to help their lord...

My lord, why does it seem like there are people helping me wherever I go?

"This is……"

Scott carefully read the instructions on the container, and he couldn't help opening his eyes wide: "Terminal core chip?"

"This is... the core production line?!"

He knew at the terminal that this is a new technology further developed based on crystal plate technology. In Canaan Moore, it has replaced identity cards and various documents, and has become the only tool for elves to prove their identity and make payments and collections.

Some time ago, the document sent back by Ian to Xiahui collar stated that he would introduce terminals to pave the way for a new generation of Xiahui collar management technology... But he never thought that his lord just went to Canaan Moore, and unexpectedly Even the core production line has been moved here? !

In this way, as long as Ian obtains the qualification for the pilot test of the Empire terminal later, he can produce his own terminal with independent specifications openly and aboveboard, and carry out related experiments.

"Huaiguang..."

On the other side, Guying also let out a suppressed exclamation: "The core parts of the most cutting-edge bioalchemy equipment... With such a batch, all the equipment in the central laboratory can be replaced!"

Although Scott doesn't know the concept of all the replacement of all laboratory parts, but it can make the story feel unbelievable, and its value is definitely beyond his imagination!

But Albert was more surprised than Scott imagined in his heart: "This is... a professional equipment part comparable to Avak Laboratory! My God, as long as I have this precision equipment, my research can go further... ...and even continue the original research to make a breakthrough!"

"The dead king's technology can still be improved!"

But whether it was Scott or Adalbert, the biggest thought in his mind at the moment was still that.

——My lord, what kind of winner did he find in Canaan Moore? !
And right now.

Another silver door opened, awakening the two people immersed in the harvest.

But this time, the container that appeared was slightly smaller... but it was also 20 meters long and [-] meters high. The pattern on the outer shell was very beautiful, and it was much more expensive than the previous equipment at first glance.

"What is this?"

Having experienced the baptism of terminal chip production lines and high-precision experimental equipment parts, both Scott and Adalbert are very interested in the contents of the third batch of containers.

They went to the front and read the explanatory text above.

"World Tree Battleship..."

"Scale model?"

The two looked at each other blankly, with great doubts popping up in their heads: "What is this?"

Fun stuff of course!

At this moment, Ian, who was already sitting on the airship and slowly flying towards the Yongjiyang Wharf, estimated the time in his mind, and said with a satisfied smile: "Scott and Yadbert should have received the letter sent by Yafoda now." The equipment...they're going to be taken aback."

After creating his own fairy body and communicating with Yafoda and World Tree, Ian has no reason to stay in Canaan Moor, where the struggle is becoming more and more intense.

Yes, the fifth energy level is lost, and even the future fifth energy level is on the side of the maintenance party, but the pillar party is still resisting.

This resistance is not simply causing trouble, it is more like a display of strength... For example, some new technologies are displayed, some new sublimation skills are displayed, and then...

In exchange for the price of recruiting security.

The general trend is over, and Canaan Moore is no longer the same as it used to be. In the future, the four families other than the country are destined to become members of a lower level of power and need to depend on other powers to exist.

But in the final analysis, they are also the blood of the ten kings, and they are qualified to sell themselves.

The integration of forces within the elves is in full swing, but even so, Anfa still took time to give Ian and Isengard a ride.

"If you need anything, just come to me."

Without saying anything extra, the green-haired elf girl just smiled and made a casual gesture, and then said to Ian: "We will meet again next time, maybe it will be Dragon Island——I will go to Dragon Island to register my Your identity, your body..."

"My main body is estimated to stay on Long Island for a long time."

Ian nodded slightly. For people of their level, it is very easy to get in touch, and leaving temporarily does not affect anything.

I just don't know if Anfa can adapt to such a living environment.

After bidding farewell to Anfa, Ian got in touch with the Institute of the Zhizhi.

Although he disapproves of the Academy of Gnosis in his heart, Ian must also admit that they are the two most important scientific research departments under the empire and one of the largest sublimator management departments.

Theoretically speaking, the prophetic assessment they have to carry out on themselves should be very strict.

But actually, no.

"Nice to meet you, Baron Silver Peak, or rather, Lord Prophet."

A woman wearing a veil to cover her face and wearing the costumes of the Lingzhi Academy greeted Ian on the airship, and then presented a certificate and a small silver cane to the boy without any hesitation.

That is the proof of the Prophet signed by the Four Orthodox Churches, and the symbol 'Staff of Omen' bestowed by the Empire on the Prophet.

The whole body of this scepter is made of mithril. Although it looks similar to a small sports dumbbell, it is actually a very powerful spiritual energy accessory, which can freely convert spiritual energy into a shield or impact.

For a prophet with powerful psychic power but no lethality, it is a very handy protective and offensive equipment.

"It's really easy to use."

There was a silver light in his eyes, and after silently listening to the staff of the Gnosis Institute explain to him a large section of the prophet's privileges and interests, Ian asked calmly, "Then what does the empire need me to do?"

"The normal prophetic announcement process is not like this. You should hold a grand celebration for me after I return to Nauman City-on top of that celebration, you publicly presented me with these certificates and scepters."

"But now, you took the initiative to find me on the airship, which proves that you need me to do something that the normal process does not need to do..."

Having said that, the white-haired boy rested his chin on one hand and asked with a smile, "Do you need me to act? What events do you need me to predict?"

"I said in advance that I can only predict what I can see with my naked eyes."

"You really foresaw everything."

Regarding Ian's straightforwardness, although the staff of the Institute of Intellectual Awareness were surprised, they still smiled, as if they knew that all this could not be hidden from the young prophet in front of them: "Since you have guessed it, then we will not keep it secret."

"Master Prophet, now that the empire has launched a two-line battle against the Flying Flame Land and the Royal Court of Heaven, we hope you will make a prediction about the current situation."

"Hmm." Ian was noncommittal, he thought for a while, and then slowly asked: "What tendency prophecy?"

"Good regards, my lord."

As soon as this question is asked, it proves that Ian has realized that the prophecy he needs to make may not simply report 'good news'. The staff of the Institute of Gnosis said convincingly: "It is a prophecy with a bad tendency."

"Master Prophet, here is an order from the imperial capital: We need a prophecy for the battle situation in the western border of the empire: this prophecy implies that our western border defense line will temporarily fall into chaos due to a shortage of resources, and the entire southwestern province will face flying flames." direct invasion of the land, and plunged into a great crisis."

"This is not a prophecy, but a fact, but it's not so terrifying." Ian frowned slightly: "It is true that the empire has caused disputes over the resource dumping due to two-front warfare, but it has not reached the point where there will be chaos."

"This is a strategic deception. You must first lure the enemy into deep... But Flameland will not believe my prophecy, they are not so easy to deceive."

"unless……"

Ian's eyes became serious: "You are going to make a fake show and do it for real."

"I can't reach this point, my lord prophet."

The staff of the Academy of Spirits shook their heads, and he said calmly: "We are also very clear that it is impossible for Feiyan to believe your prophecy. This is not a deception aimed at the enemy."

"My lord, this is a prophecy aimed at the people. We want the people to believe that we are at a disadvantage, that we are about to encounter a major crisis, that we are about to lose—"

"Then we won." Raising his brows, Ian said softly, "Indeed. If there is always a stalemate, the people will get tired of it, they will get tired of the war, and they will feel dissatisfied and painful with the flames of war."

"Since this is the case, it is better to directly create a crisis that can threaten almost everyone. According to the reputation of Feiyandi in the western region of Nanling, almost no one will have any luck with the invasion of Feiyandi. As long as they are attacked , the family must be ruined.”

"Under such fear, the originally numb hearts will be cheered up. They are sensitive and expectant, restless and lucky."

"If at this time, someone surpasses the 'prophecy' and brings a miraculous 'big victory'..."

Speaking of this, Ian laughed: "That's really a great victory."

"But this is based on the accuracy and prestige of my predictions."

"Yes. This is the sacrifice we beg you to make..."

Having said that, all the staff of the Institute of Intellectual Intelligence and other officials of the imperial government in the airship bowed to Ian: "Here is a letter from the Royal Palace of Setar, please have a look at it, Mr. Prophet. .”

The imperial edict... Isn't that what Axel wrote to me?
Ian accepted the golden edict in silence. He read the words on it, and then his expression became strange.

"Rehabilitate Mr. Hilliard... Rehabilitate the Ciehalorvo family, restore the title of earl of the Ciehalorvo family, return the forbidden ancestral land, return all the research materials of the Ciehalorvo family, and... "

【As long as your brother doesn't appear in the empire openly】

Without any words, pure thoughts flowed from the paper, communicating with Ian: 【I won't let him do anything】

[In the same way, my Earl Silver Peak, my younger brother in a certain sense...as long as you support the "righteousness" of the empire, if you still have ideals from Inaiga II in your heart]

【Then there is no conflict between us】

"Count? The title jumps to the second level?"

Ian raised his head in disbelief, and looked at the imperial officials in front of him, who seemed to have known about this for a long time, they all applauded: "Yes, congratulations, Lord Earl!"

"According to your achievements and status, the title of Earl is completely suitable!"

At this moment, apart from an instinctive absurdity in Ian's mind, his rationality told him that this was normal.

The Ciehalorvo family was originally the earls of the imperial capital. They were famous for their academics and relics development, but they were not field earls. It was not difficult to restore their reputation and property. It mainly depended on whether Ian was qualified enough.

And now, Ian is determined to be a prophet, not to mention that the Ciehalorvo family has a lot of information and industries that are blocked by the empire with a level of confidentiality, even if it is eaten by other families. In terms of a word, they will take the initiative to spit it out obediently.

A 'prophet' who is less than [-] years old, God knows how long he can live, a family property of the earl of the imperial capital, if you don't want it, you don't want it, there is no need to make enemies with him for this little property!
Of course, it wasn't this that surprised Ian the most, but Axel's incredible move.

Rehabilitation of the Hallorvo family is not a big deal in the first place. What is really important is to return the 'research materials'... Maybe there are research materials related to Echo. Is Axel really ignorant or is he deliberately probing?Or did he not care at all?

And rehabilitating Mr. Hilliard made Ian even more dizzy-if Axel really wanted to be rehabilitated first, why didn't he rehabilitate him earlier, and insisted on waiting until Mahdi became famous, and he was forced to leave by himself Rehabilitate later?

And the next words, as long as Mahdi doesn't show up, he doesn't care... These words are really a bit like when Mr. Hilliard traveled all over the empire and few people followed him. Axel definitely did the same thing back then. Treat yourself as the teacher of the first cavalier.

But why?This kind of attitude of neither destroying nor getting close means that there must be a huge secret behind it!

What is the secret?
"He seems...doesn't want Fudojiancheng to disappear at all, and he doesn't want Fudojiancheng to die—so he is in the Alien Species Research Institute. On the surface, it seems that he wants to kill me, but in fact he uses a beam of light to push me to speed up and leave , to avoid the intervention of other fifth energy levels.”

Although his face remained unchanged at the moment, Ian's heart was full of turmoil: "Behind the immovable fortified city, there is definitely a secret that I don't know yet... Yes, the immovable fortified city of the empire has not yet been perfected, only the immovable fortified city in the hands of the teacher. Jiancheng is a perfect inheritance of the fifth energy level... Where is the gap between them?"

Ian suddenly thought of a word.

top seat.

The top seat and the fifth energy level are different.

The top seat means that this inheritance can pass on its own core sublimation organs to the next generation... Generally speaking, the inheritance that can be called the top seat can inherit at least two core sublimation organs of the fifth energy level.

But what Teacher Hilliard passed on to him back then was only the core of the ancient dragon... a severely damaged core of the ancient dragon that was maintained by a silver chip.

Until now, Ian has not completely repaired the core of the ancient dragon, even the source of the dragon's blood has only revived it.

If it really needs to be repaired, I'm afraid it will have to wait for Jifeng Dragon King to use Longdao's equipment for treatment.

This is just a capstone element.

What about the other one?

Ian believes that if this ancient dragon core actually has some unknown and peculiar functions, or it is itself an activation key, it can activate another existence with extremely powerful power...

And that existence is the real 'top' element of Fudoken Castle...

"Imperial capital."

Squinting his eyes, Ian realized something in his heart: "It's the imperial capital."

"Do not move the strong city, the ancient dragon core is related to the imperial capital, and it can even be said that it is the core secret key of a certain big plan - it was for this plan that King Inaiga II and the teacher created the different city with the same name as the imperial capital. Move Fortified City."

"The imperial capital itself is one of the 'top elements' of the 'Immovable Fortified City'!"

"Only in the imperial capital, the immovable strong city is the truly invincible inheritance in the teacher's mouth!"

"But now, Axel has another use for the imperial capital—whether it is moving the strong city close to the imperial capital, or saying that the moving strong city is dead, the disappearance or return of certain unique keys of the imperial capital will lead to his plan failure, that's why he expelled the teacher and expelled the Mahdi..."

In Ian's mind, the root structure of biomass inside the solid city wall of the imperial capital emerged.

He lowered his gaze and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Interesting. Fortunately, I was not close to the upper city."

"But any closer to the core of the imperial capital, the core of the ancient dragon in my body may react, let Axel discover me."

"No wonder my crisis was so strong at that time, because in fact, I don't need to be noticed by anyone. As long as I come to the top of the imperial capital, I will be discovered!"

"But now, it's all right, because my current body is a goblin, and Gu Long's core is in Dragon Island."

"This is also Axel's purpose. He cannot let the secret key get close to the imperial capital, affecting his transformation of the imperial capital or other plans."

After trying to understand this, Ian had even greater doubts in his heart: "But, what exactly is Axel's plan?"

"No, it should be said that way. Back then, what was the plan of Inaiga II and the teacher? And based on their plan, what is Axel planning to transform?"

Ian couldn't have guessed that, not even a prophet.

The boy shook his head slightly: "It is estimated that I will ask Isengard to find out..."

In fact, apart from this, Axel's purpose is also very strange.

For example, letting Ian consume his prestige and increase the miracle victory of the empire is actually not a loss to Ian.

Because Ian himself is also the lord of Nanling, if the army of Flaming Land really attacks, as long as it is not the main force, he is confident that he can defeat them and become a member of the 'miracle'.

At that time, it is the 'prophet' who predicted the failure and defeated his own prediction-this is not surprising, but rather, it is what everyone expects from the prophet.

If it is good, then the prophet leads everyone to realize it.

If it is bad, then the prophet leads everyone to avoid it.

For this, the landkeepers don't care.

What Axel did seems to be just to stimulate the hearts of the people, so that everyone considers themselves a member of the "miracle" and has a common sense of glory... As for who gains the most and who is likely to lose, he has no choice. not give a damn about.

Is this approach and strategy related to the imperial capital and his plans for the immovable strong city?

Ian didn't know for a while.But he now has no reason to object.

Because Axel is really too generous—the Earl of Silver Peak, which actually means that the empire has officially handed over all the mountain people to Ian, and the entire Baisen Mountain Range is his territory.

And not long after, Viscount Grant advanced to the third energy level, and when the entire Great Redwood Forest and the South China Sea became the Marquis of Grant, he joined forces with Viscount Grant, which was equivalent to half of the South Ridge Province.

As for the Marquis of Barton, he will be the titular big brother of South Ridge at that time, and neither Ian nor Grant will sing against him.

But in fact, he will never take care of it.

In the future, Ian will soon become the most powerful noble in South Ridge, almost none.
