Long Gull Tavern is an evolution of Long Gull Tavern.

As the current Viscount and Knight Yam's comrade-in-arms and cook when he was an apprentice under the old Viscount Grant, the owner of Long Gull Wine House, Old Man Deli, is an easy-going mute.

Originally a fisherman's child, he joined the pioneering group with his parents and came to Nanling. In the war with the aborigines, his parents died. Deli himself had to join the guards to receive training and fight against the aborigines.

Because of malnutrition, his physical fitness is really not flattering. He can't be a spearman or lift a shield. Wearing armor can exhaust him to death. Even if he is sent to be a cook in the end, he can only stew fish soup with one hand... …

Indeed, all kinds of stewed fish soup taste good, but once recalling the greasy taste after eating for five years, every member of the team at that time will show a painful and distorted expression.

However, Deli has an advantage.

That is, he is a very reliable person.

Not many people know about what happened decades ago, and Deli himself can't brag about it, but Ian learned from Elder Pudd that Viscount Grant was ambushed by an elite native hunter, and his shoulder was shot by the new The developed 'Bauhinia detoxification' poisonous arrow was stabbed, and the anti-poison medicine carried with him had no effect at all.

Seeing that the arm of the top fighter in the team was about to be corroded with a large piece of flesh, and the team was on the verge of being wiped out, it was Deli who rushed up to suck out the venom at the first time... As a result, his mouth and teeth were corroded in a mess, I can't speak in this life, and I can only drink soup and porridge.

The grace of saving life can never be repaid too much, so even Old Deli's poor cooking skills can still have his own shop not far from the Viscount's Mansion, on the most elegant street of Central Avenue, open The tavern he had always dreamed of opening.

And now, after four years of great development in Port Harrison, the Long Gull Tavern has also successfully evolved into the Long Gull Tavern... and it also has many additional functions.

For example, the business meeting place designated by the lord of Port Harrison.

The private rooms on the second floor are dim, but they look quite bright after the fluorescent lights are turned on, and a light yellow halo fills the soundproof private rooms. Many business cooperation and confidential agreements in Port Harrison are reached here.

Viscount Grant himself endorsed the reliability of this place, and the slogan is "Even patrolling knights can't find even the slightest loophole and trace from here"... Although the facts are true, Ian, who knows the truth, has a complicated mood.

"I've had breakfast, so I don't need to order food. What I did just now can only be said to be exercising after dinner."

As soon as he entered the private room on the second floor, Ian informed him in advance: "You can try Uncle Deli's fish soup. It tastes good, but it is a country dish after all, so be careful not to acclimatize to the environment."

And Isengard's honest answer made him look sideways: "Ah, don't worry, I have taken anti-virus potions before, and I usually take very simple ones, usually the physical potions that the teacher made for me."

"Do you take stamina potions for food? Is that the stamina potion that contains all the nutrients that humans need, but tastes like water plus protein powder?"

Glancing at the young master of the Ellen family with an extremely weird look, Ian had a hard time explaining his emotions: "Only eat the necessary protein, fat, carbohydrates, salt, vitamins... and pure source matter?"

——Are you man-made?

"Eh?" But Isengarde was a little confused: "In order to avoid the disorder of the source quality caused by eating normally, and the increase in the probability of distortion caused by accidentally eating a different kind of monster... Isn't everyone like this before the end of puberty? Is there something to eat?"

"This is the healthiest and safest recipe that has been proven by the research of the Royal Alchemy Association!"

"It's outrageous." Regarding this, Ian just sighed inexplicably: "The nobles of this world..."

At this time, there were only Ian and Isengard in the box, and two tall guards stayed at the door.

In such a confidential environment, the young master of the Ellen family revealed his real purpose of coming to find Ian.

"Excuse me, can you sense the source quality breath on this dragon scale through the box?"

Isengard placed the silver-blue metal box in front of Ian. There was a window made of transparent crystal in the middle of it. The workmanship was very exquisite, and there were inscriptions on the outside that were very regular and beautiful.

And what was placed in the box was a blue translucent crystal scale.

At this moment, the scales are still emitting a halo that flickers on and off, like breathing. Although it is not strong, it reveals a special charm, just like the tide.

"Dragon scale? Too fast?"

Ian glanced at the box, then raised his head to look at the expectant blond boy.

He pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Has the Ellen family always been so straightforward? I thought you would first ask about the distribution of Warcraft around Harrison Port, the situation of the indigenous people, and the abnormal phenomena in recent months, and then wait until We'll get to the point after we've finished our tea..."

"Mom... my mother once said to me that for a smart person, if you can directly tell the purpose, you can directly tell the purpose."

Isengard almost got his words off track again, but his last words were still smooth: "I was a little hesitant at first, but after seeing your strength just now... I completely believe what the teacher said!"

"Ian, you are indeed a real genius. Facing a genius like you, you don't need to be so devious!"

The blond boy, who was still immersed in the scene of Ian standing in the blood pool of the corpse, nodded solemnly, then stretched out his hand and pushed the box towards Ian.

He said solemnly: "Last night, the teacher and uncle have confirmed that they invite you to be a member of our exploration team... it is a real exploration team, not an exploration team that looks like Jingbei."

"Ian, you must have known after the appraisal the day before yesterday that even my belongings were secretly cursed, and the mission cannot be canceled because of this accident, so now I must complete the mission as quickly as possible, and then return to The imperial capital will report to His Majesty."

"Now, what we need is speed, not the reduced efficiency caused by secrecy. Everyone is suspicious of each other and doesn't know what they are going to do."

He's outspoken and doesn't mind Ian knowing these things in the slightest.

He didn't need to mind it at first, the blond boy knew very well that based on his identification ability alone, it was a certainty that the other party would become a member of the exploration team, not to mention that the other party was so strong!

Now, there is only one last procedure left.

——That is, to find out how strong Ian's source of stress is!

Only after knowing this, can they determine the scope and time of exploration, and then determine the next plan!

Yes, they originally prepared corresponding exploration instruments, but how could a dead instrument be easy to use with someone who could communicate and accurately point out the direction and range?

The answer to this question is simple.

Ian lowered his eyes, staring at the scales in the metal box in front of him.

[Dragon Scale of Zhanhai Crystal Dragon]

[Peak of the first energy level Vacuum isolation treatment Cornerstone Edible]

[The scales of the crystallized dragon deep-sea specialized species inhabiting the high psionic ecosystem are derived from a young dragon, and they don't have much special effect. The dragon scales of the crystallized dragon are natural source quality storage crystals and raw materials for detectors. They can be used to manufacture a variety of rare auxiliary accessories and props, and can also keenly sense most of the source quality and spiritual energy fluctuations in the surrounding sea area 】

[Because it has not yet entered a mature body, the dragon scales of crystallized dragons do not have the ability to transform into spiritual matter, and cannot absorb water-type source matter for high-speed self-regeneration. The hardness is also relatively average, and it will quickly self-dissolve if stored improperly]

[Contains source quality: 0.054]

【…】

——What can you sense?

——The answer is all!

Discussing this with a seer and chip holder is overwhelming.

"It's a bit like the smell of the Odell Reef, with high purity water quality and natural spiritual energy."

He stared at the deep blue mist in front of him, which had materialized and churned, giving people a feeling of solid metal and vastness like the sea, and he couldn't help but muttered: "I want to ask... what is your standard? Can it sense the fluctuation frequency of the source quality, or can it track..."

"Huh?"

And halfway through hearing it, Isengarde became excited, and he opened his eyes wide: "You can sense it! You can sense its source quality fluctuations even through the silver alloy box!"

The boy stood up, clenched his fists excitedly and said, "Is O'Dell Reef right? That should be the place where it lives recently—I didn't expect you, Ian, to be able to sense this, it's really amazing!"

Afterwards, Isengard went on and on about something like, "The teacher said that your sensitivity is much stronger than mine. I didn't quite believe it at first." It wasn't because of jealousy, but mainly because he couldn't think of the countryside...ah, it wasn't the countryside, it was just... ...Harrison Port actually has such a powerful person like you...' This kind of rather low EQ words.

Ian didn't care, Tongyan Wuji, what did he care about with a fourteen-year-old child.

——Actually, it’s far more than that. I can tell that the owner of this scale is a dragon species... and it’s also a very rare labyrinth dragon species.

Ian remained silent. He knew what Silent Silver was. It was a special metal that could isolate all source matter and spiritual energy reactions, because high-purity Silent Silver would even damage the sublimation organs and spiritual energy of those who approached it. Therefore, if you want to use it safely, you can only use related alloys with low doping.

No wonder he felt that the source quality perception just now penetrated a very thick layer of rock shell. He thought it was a special kind of dragon, but he didn't expect it to be Lonely Silver?

"Fortunately, it didn't reveal that I can even see the general image of the target."

With a sigh in his heart, because he has the ability of the prophet and the silver chip, Ian has no idea how ordinary people should react in this regard.

It's also hard being a pig.

Moreover, relying on the aura of this dragon scale, Ian has already deduced the truth based on the information he had exchanged with the Iron Shark in the middle of the night.

"It seems that there is a labyrinth-species sea dragon on the Odell reef? Or is it a juvenile sea dragon of the first energy level that has not advanced to the second energy level?!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart: "Sure enough, it has to be a prey of this level to attract the attention of the imperial capital, so that the young master of the Ellen family came here from a long distance, and there are two second-level seniors Accompanied by the strong!"

"If it's for a water dragon, then everything makes sense! Whether it's the mutation of the native totem spirit, or the fact that the armored shark is afraid to approach it, it's all because of this!"

"Because a Titan Warcraft cub with the potential of the fifth energy level appeared around Harrison Port!"
