"Don't underestimate each other, Ian."

When the boy told Hilliard what he thought, his teacher shook his head slightly: "Things are not that simple - even if it has nothing to do with me, as such a young psyker, you will definitely be noticed by the other party. "

"Huh?"

Ian didn't understand much now, he frowned slightly, and thought: "But this kind of attention should be a good thing, he probably wanted to investigate my daily life, to determine whether I have the genius that Viscount Grant said—— He'll figure it out pretty quickly."

"You think it's easy."

The old knight shook his head meaningfully: "You also know that the imperial government will gather all ordinary people who have the qualifications of sublimators and psykers, and let the local nobles or official organizations give them grace and inheritance, and then Take the bearers of these powers into your own hands."

With that said, Hilliard pointed to a fact: "Do you think, with your talent, you won't attract the attention of bigger people?"

"Do you think that if Viscount Grant wasn't your 'teacher' in name, where would you be taken?"

Ian opened his eyes wide.

The old knight continued: "You will be taken to the Royal Academy of True Knowledge in the imperial capital to study psychic abilities...and also be studied. That is not a good thing, unless you are a real son of a great nobleman, otherwise, it is definitely not a good thing .”

"Not only that, but if you leave Port Harrison, the frontier of the empire, before you mature, do you think you can hide the fact that you are a sand armor apprentice practitioner from those real powerful sublimators?"

"Of course, these are minor problems. Ian, with your ingenuity, I believe that no matter what trouble you encounter, you can resolve it."

Sighing, Hilliard straightened his back and said leisurely, "But what about Elan? Do you think they will let a ten-year-old child live with his younger brother?"

"Even if you can, is that the life you want?"

Ian narrowed his eyes.

"Ian... this inspector is a big trouble."

The old knight looked in the direction of Elan's room, and he whispered to himself: "It's not just ours."

"It's also a problem for all Harrison Porters."

Ian nodded.

"Indeed." He raised his head and looked at the deserted street. The young man said softly, "It's a big trouble,"

...

During the recent period, Harrison Port, which had been quiet for a long time, ushered in a storm.

The imperial inspector, the royal knight Viggs Grall, often called "Liuyin", arrived in Harrison Port.

Some people say that this is the emissary of the imperial capital to investigate the progress of the reconstruction of Harrison Port, and the investigator responsible for determining the follow-up support.

Others say that this is a deep and dark political struggle, and what ordinary people see is only one ten-thousandth of the surface.

But no matter how everyone guessed and analyzed, after meeting with the Governor of Harrison Port, Viscount Grant, the Flowing Sound Knight did get the right to move freely and have full powers of inspection.

It may sound unremarkable, but in fact, the process of patrol knights getting their due rights has never been smooth sailing. It is absolutely impossible for any nobleman to let an outsider check every trace of secrets in his territory at will, even if the other party is Coming with the imperial emperor's will, it is absolutely impossible for them to make the other party act so comfortably.

But after a secret meeting, Viscount Grant agreed to all the requests of the inspector knight, and even asked his confidant, the local sheriff and city defense officer, Knight Yam, to follow and assist him in his work.

Some people may think that this is also Viscount Grant's restriction on the opponent's actions, but in fact, the Yam knight only followed in name.

Patrons can move freely without any supervision.

This was considered big news, but for ordinary people, they didn't understand or care about the struggle of the upper class, and the appearance of the Flowing Sound Knight didn't affect their lives, so they were quickly forgotten.

But for those who have a better understanding of the structure of imperial officials and the ranks of sublimators, the existence of a patrol knight at the peak of the second energy level is itself a signal.

On the continent of Terra, there are five energy levels for sublimators, which originated from the allusion that the heavenly father built the ladder in seven steps.

The reason why the sublimated person does not have a seventh energy level is because above the "top seat" (Master Throne) of the fifth energy level "True Form" is the sixth ladder "Gnosis" representing the gods, And the seventh ladder 'truth' (Logos) representing the Creator.

That is not an insurmountable sacred seat for ordinary people.

The goal of the sublimated person is to reproduce the way of truth in his own body.

It's just that no one has done it yet—since Skyfall, no one has ever set foot in the sixth energy level representing the "Star Crown", and the most peak person is only the fifth energy level holding the "Steel Authority".

The first energy level, in the current Terra continent, is called "Enlightenment".

At this level, one can already obtain privileges, join the army as an officer, and be regarded as a strong person for adventurous exploration.

On the sea is the captain, on the mountain is the beast king, they are the representatives of the 'Warrior' (Warrior), no matter what country it is, it will not prevent a sublimated person from becoming a citizen of his own country, unless the other party is a notorious person, Or they are suspected of being spies from other countries.

The second energy level, 'Condensation', is the foundation of nobility.

Only when you reach the second energy level can you inherit the title and enjoy the privileges of nobility, and only at the second energy level can you be regarded as a "philosopher", become an elite in various fields, and be respected by everyone .

And the third energy level, "heart light", is actually very simple.

The powerhouses of the third energy level already have the power of the "hero" (Hero) in ancient legends-they can lift boulders like hills and cut off the rushing Yangtze River. They have all awakened the spiritual power of life and have A radiant soul that can be seen with the naked eye of ordinary people.

They are masters of fighting. Even if they die, their souls will not leave for the time being, and they can entrust their hearts and light bodies to continue fighting, and their blood can also be passed on to their offspring, and they can obtain the 'title' that can be passed on. A true great knight, the commander of the army.

In some small countries, a strong person at this level is even called a national teacher, a sage, who is enough to secretly control the authority of a country, even the king.

And the inspector of the empire, Liuyin Knight Wiggs, is a peak of the second energy level, far away from the third energy level, and perhaps just a strong man of the simple ceremony of "the royal family bestows potions"!

"He came here, he must have made a contribution!"

Downtown, Viscount Mansion.

In the study, Viscount Grant was pacing back and forth in his territory like a violent lion.

And Knight Yam and Financial Officer Lamar stood aside, one looking at the report in his hand, and the other looking at the pocket watch in his hand, waiting for the next step from his lord.

At this moment, Viscount Grant was speaking in a deep voice, with a sense of crisis: "The inspector knights are directly under the royal family, and they are the elite among the elite drawn from the legions of various places. Where can there be second-level ones? They are all the first-level knights. A three-level great knight!"

"Even if there are occasional ones that don't reach the third energy level, they're just put down and plated with gold—just like my father did back then!"
