above the sky

After so many years of constant attempts and summaries, Ian has roughly grasped the signs represented by the various colors in his psionic energy.

The dark air represents pure bad luck or natural disaster. For example, a tornado swept a piece of wood into the sky and smashed people to half-death. The disaster caused by this kind of thing is reflected in the 'precognition horizon'. , is black gas.

The thicker the black air, the more serious and inevitable it is. The pure black fog with no other colors is invisible, which is a dead silence, just like a group of people going out to sea and suddenly encountering a big storm, there is no room for it.

Only the resistance of life with all its strength and a miracle can shatter such a necessity.

The scarlet qi was related to other life forms.

Whether it is a person or a beast, a sea monster wandering in the deep sea, or all kinds of monsters and aliens that can never be destroyed in the Baisen Mountains, all indigenous robbers belong to this category.

Murdered, robbed by pirates, attacked by wild beasts, dragged off by a big fish while fishing, or even overturned and sank the whole boat.

"It's very abnormal. The ruins of the distant sea have not been abnormal recently. I have confirmed it last time. It is still quite a long time before the natural disaster like a big storm."

Although he had a hunch for a long time, Ian's heart became heavy after it was really determined that the entire Port Harrison would be in crisis.

He went back to the shop to wash his hands, drank a mouthful of warm water soaked in blood-enriching herbs, and sat in a chair with his eyes closed and rested, very healthy.

After learning how to use professional psionics, and since he has grown up, Ian can now try to observe the future trends of many people at the same time.

Even in a small city, backlash and physical exhaustion will not make him completely lose physical strength.

It looks scary, but it's actually like kicking a toe into a cabinet. It hurts, but it's nothing.

"Go to Elder Pude first, then go home."

Opening his eyes, Ian got up: "By the way, let the elders vaguely mention the mutation to Viscount Grant... At least be prepared."

Although the black fog is not too thick, it proves that even if there is a disaster, it will not be too serious, but if you are not well prepared, it is not impossible for dozens or hundreds of people to die.

When the black air of a city falls on a person's head, it can really be either death or injury.

He had made up his mind and set off immediately.

And just when Ian closed and locked the store and greeted the acquaintances of the city guards who were patrolling nearby.

Sai Nan walked hurriedly across the street, looking sad.

Occasionally, he kept his spirits high and responded to greetings from acquaintances, but most of the time, he walked with his head buried in his head and walked straight to his destination.

In the administrative system of one capital, three direct jurisdictions and twelve provinces, the southernmost province of Nanling, despite its vast territory, is sparsely populated and has few cities. It has always been used as a classic exile.

Because the population density is low, there are many complex terrains such as mountains, cliffs and valleys in various places, and there are many indigenous colonies in the mountain people's autonomous regions, so the imperial capital and Nanling Province's own policy is to "grasp trade".

As long as you master the land trade route from [Harrison Port], [Sanshan City], [Nauman City and the surrounding canyon gathering place], the internal and external resources can interact smoothly, and then ensure that Whale Song Cliff and Canaan Moore to Harrison Port smooth waterway trade.

Then, no matter how weak the empire's control over other colonies and autonomous villages and towns in Nanling Province is, it can ensure that the situation in the entire south will not be too corrupt.

Since Viscount Grant built the new city four years ago, a large number of chambers of commerce have begun to settle in this port, so that in a corner of the new city, a long street composed entirely of caravan shops has been formed.

New town, near Haichang Street.

A street full of shops.

The neat and tidy buildings are hung with cloth banners with the emblems and coat of arms of various shops. The straight streets follow the Iwok River all the way to the end of the field of vision. The signboards of the shops are very eye-catching, and some large shops even choose fluorescent structures. , even the day is shining like gold.

It was the gloomy time before the rain, and the glow of the fluorescent signs was simply bright.

The streets are crowded with people, the rare ores from the Baisen Mountains, the precious herbs collected from the surrounding redwood forests—the alchemy creations from the imperial capital and even Canaan Moore, the sea-born long swords from Whalesong Cliff, and even the Blessing ornaments from far-flung frontiers.

On the long street near the sea, everything is available. Adventurers and professional mercenaries deliver their mission objectives here, while customers with money and no money stare at the goods in the window, and estimate that their purses are full of Thaler.

Sai Nan walked through the crowd. He used to like this bustling feeling and gave him a sense of accomplishment that he grew up with his hometown.

But now, he just frowned and walked into a not high-profile, but unusually tidy shop.

【Platinum Iridium Workshop】

"Captain Sai Nan? Come so early today?"

The black-skinned Bai Zhimin is obviously a frequent visitor, and even the guards at the door bowed and let go, and the receptionist who received the guests came directly to the door to greet them and greeted attentively: "You have taken us to so many places recently, my lord, he I'll be waiting for you in the reception room..."

"Um."

Sai Nan obviously had a mood written on his face. He noticed that the other party didn't look very good, and the front desk didn't say much, but directly led him to the reception room on the second floor.

"Captain Sainan?"

The adult at the front desk is currently chatting with a blond boy sitting opposite him with a smile.

When he heard the news of his own employee, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and then he looked up at Sai Nan, who was already standing at the door: "This... What's going on?"

"Has it been identified yet?"

He was a little confused.

Although he has just arrived in Harrison Harbor today, the cooperation between Platinum Iridium Workshop and Sai Nan has been going on for several months. Come to this frontier land.

That is, today, the platinum-iridium workshop has captured a very important discovery on the Sainan ship, but due to the lack of professional appraisers, they cannot analyze it in detail.

Don't look at the platinum-iridium workshop is the top three largest workshops in the empire, and behind the support of the Empire's field marquis Ellen family, but I hope they can also provide professional equipment and a formal appraisal in a remote area such as Harrison Port. Teacher, that is too much thinking.

Even if there are people, and the appraiser is willing to come, the workshop itself is not willing.

- Is it really that fast? Or did the people below have the results long ago, and they just knew I was coming, so they deliberately sent good news to flatter them now?

It's no wonder that this 'adult' is so suspicious. In his capacity, this fact is very common, so even if it is not very surprising, he still shows reasonable joy to the outside world: "Have you found anything? Captain Sainan?"

"grown ups."

But unexpectedly, the captain of Bai Zhimin shook his head solemnly, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I think, I have to terminate the cooperation."

He put a sack of fluorescent algae in his hand on the ground, and bowed somewhat clumsily: "I can only refund this deposit."

"I'm sorry, starting today, I won't go to sea for at least a month."

The blond middle-aged man who was directly pushed back immediately stiffened, and the blond boy sitting next to him couldn't help but want to laugh, but his face was quickly tightened.
