Ian had indeed prepared himself to be targeted by the people behind Sai Nan.

No matter who the other party is, whether it is good or bad, it is definitely not wrong to discuss with the elders first.

"Sai Nan was entrusted by someone to identify fluorescent algae on behalf of others, but you have noticed a sign of a change in the maze?"

"Do you think the other party is not stupid, and you will soon realize that it is you who saw the omen of the maze and will be paid attention to?"

"You want me to talk to Viscount Grant about the labyrinth and remind him to prepare early to prevent coastal disasters caused by the mutation. By the way, who is the other party?"

At that time, Elder Purdue was reviewing the accounts in the Elder's Hall. Four years hadn't wrinkled him much, but he wore a pair of glasses.

The old man wearing glasses stroked his beard in confusion and said, "Sai Nan probably doesn't have the guts. If nothing else, where does he have the brains to lie to others? Where does he have the courage to lie to you?"

"That's right." Ian thought for a while and felt that it was true: "But the omen is real - there are only four to eight years left before the distance of the maze is fully formed, and it is estimated that it will be fully formed around the next big storm."

He reminded: "Elder, didn't the Viscount always want to monopolize the treasures of the maze? I guess that group of people must have come for the maze. If they weren't some crazy and dangerous elements, their background is probably not small. He mentioned it."

"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't know that the Viscount wanted to monopolize the maze." The old man Bai Zhimin shook his head.

He stared at the account book in his hand, and said slowly: "And I don't think he is very interested in the maze itself, nor did he stop the maze researcher sent by the empire, obviously he has other ideas."

"But I do have to say that it's not up to us to get ahead in this kind of thing—even if we get ahead, someone has to endorse us."

"And... Sai Nan, right?"

At this point, Elder Purdue frowned.

Because of this keyword, he thought of something, then raised the ledger in his hand, glanced at it carefully, and nodded slightly: "He is currently cooperating with the Platinum Iridium Workshop, and it is the job that the Viscount himself introduced to me, saying that he owes a favor, Ask me to recommend a reliable and strict captain."

"I recommended him."

"Platinum iridium workshop?" As an alchemist, Ian is also very aware of the power of this workshop with the logo of the Imperial Royal Alchemy Association. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a big background."

"Well, a lot of power. It seems that it is indeed aimed at the labyrinth that is gradually activated, and it can be regarded as a normal process."

Chewing on this vocabulary, the old man murmured to himself if he realized something: "Is it the two mentors of the Royal Alchemy Society, or the Marquis family..."

Until Ian left, Elder Purdue did not tell him the result of his thinking, but only told him that Sainan's client had multiple backgrounds, involving a marquis family, the Alchemy Association and the will of the imperial capital, and it was also the will of Viscount Grant in the imperial capital. Acquaintances, give each other face.

Other than that, he didn't say much.

In the face of a prophet, random guesses that are not sure will mislead the other party's thinking.

And Ian didn't care, because he had already got the answer he wanted.

"In this case, as long as you refuse, Uncle Sai Nan should be safe."

The boy thought of this: "When I go to the pier to buy fish, let's check his situation by the way."

Regardless of the Platinum Iridium Workshop, the Royal Alchemy Society or the Marquis Family, they are all bigger forces than Ian thought before.

But this can be said to be good news instead, proving that the danger Sai Nan will encounter is not related to people, but to the content of his next mission.

What Ian was worried about at first was that Sai Nan had messed with some unruly bounty hunter, or the agent of Canaan Moore pirates...

This kind of person, if you find a resource point in the far sea, you basically just grab a wave and leave.

If Sai Nan and the others really accidentally discovered a sea area where this kind of fluorescent algae was produced in large quantities due to the mutation of the labyrinth, they would definitely be killed after identification.

Then, this group of people plundered the place of origin destructively, and then patted their buttocks and left.

Although these people must end up being wiped out, they were finally hanged in Harrison Port or the square and shore of some other city port, and their bodies were fed to seabirds and fish.

But people are dead and cannot be resurrected.

On the other hand, the big forces keep a little bit of the rules.

After all, the rules are their own.

Although they also rob things and cannibalize people, at any rate, robbing money and cannibalizing people will consider a sustainable fishing, and they will have more foresight, and they will not be so paralyzed that they will provoke local bosses and make it difficult for them to move forward.

"The mutation of the labyrinth will indeed pose a threat to Harrison Port. This is considered a natural disaster, but according to the concentration of the black fog, it is not difficult to take preventive measures to resist it. At least it is much better than a big storm."

At this time, Ian had already arrived at the pier. This street was originally destroyed by the crocodile entering the city. It was rebuilt three years ago, and it was almost exactly the same as the original.

With a hood on his head, he was in a relaxed mood: "As for the man-made disaster, it should be the natives? I've noticed that the Viscount Grant raised his own self-esteem, but this time it seems that they are not the only ones. There's some trouble coming over."

"It might be a good thing if the Platinum Iridium Workshop came to me. Many of the alchemy instruments in my workshop are second-hand, not to mention that I still don't have a complete set of inscription tools."

Ian is not boasting. With his original skills, he learned alchemy and inscriptions from scratch, and he can cross the two professional levels of "apprentice" and "junior" in four years, and directly move towards the "level" that can be compared with the second level. The official bachelor's shock can only be described as sparse and ordinary.

If it wasn't for the lack of further classics and notes, and the lack of experimental equipment that he could study alone, he might have been able to try to prepare elite potions long ago.

After all, Ian himself is also very interested in the maze that was born in the depths of the South China Sea, attached to the "remains of pre-epoch civilization".

The mission of the teacher is to calm down the changes in the ruins group. Although the maze cannot completely represent the ruins group, there is no doubt that if I can get close to the maze and analyze its essence, Ian can also learn more about the nature of the ruins group .

It can even be said that with the silver chip and the vision of vision, he only needs to go in and take a look to collect enough information.

Now, the labyrinth is about to change, and there are also big forces like Platinum Iridium Workshop taking the lead in exploring.

Ian felt that it was entirely possible to mix in as an ordinary, young, and a little keen appraiser, and use the power of the other party to take advantage of the situation to see what the current situation of the maze and the ruins group is like!

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. He is an ordinary alchemist and wavesinger, so it must be no problem to hide behind and follow the team!

As for the possible dangers...

Ian is not worried about this.

Because, in the past four years, Ian's biggest gains were not alchemy and inscriptions.

Rather, with the help of the silver chip, the two sets of sublimator inheritances that have been mastered!
