This is indeed a problem, Viscount Grant frowned.

Obviously, what Ian said is correct, he has indeed known about the recent restlessness of the Tenglan Department, and he has indeed thought about the other party's possible influence on Zhanhai Crystal Dragon... But he originally planned to keep this group of natives as demons, In order to increase the key proportion of oneself in this mission.

The natives attacked the exploration team, and the local lords worked hard to rescue them. Although the Ellen family was the main contributor, the Grant family made an indelible contribution to the final success!

This is a good script!

However, if there are killers who attacked Isengard, and possible surprise soldiers in Feiyan...

"I understand. Indeed, this time may be more dangerous than I thought."

Stopping, Viscount Grant nodded solemnly, and said to Ian and Elder Pudd: "Pudd, come with me to overhaul Zhenglan later, I have to keep being able to dispatch anytime, anywhere."

"no problem."

Since it was something that would help Ian's safety, Elder Pudd didn't hesitate—Viscount Grant said some words of encouragement to Ian, praising him for his thoughtfulness and keen perception, and then left with Pudd.

Their actions have always been swift and resolute... After all, they are different from the nobles in the central region of the empire.

Next to Port Harrison, there are really indigenous people!

Guys without such mobility would have died a long time ago.

And Ian didn't rest after being guaranteed. He came to his workshop as quickly as possible, and began to prepare and debug some related alchemy potions.

The time to go to sea is within this week, before the storm.

Although he had some potion reserves before, there is definitely no harm in preparing more... At most, it would cost more money.

"Fortunately, Mr. Yinfang gave me a remuneration a few days ago, otherwise, I would have gone bankrupt this time."

In the workshop, a faint blue light lit up in the fish tank-like element precipitation pool.

Ian stared at the gradually changing alchemy substrate in the pool, but he didn't feel fear in his heart, but he felt anticipation for the upcoming exploration: "Although, these days, I have been thinking about danger or not, conspiracy or conspiracy something like..."

"But the labyrinth, and the dragon species...these are things that have never been seen before."

In the faint blue water, the boy's eyes are reflected, and Ian can be seen smiling slightly: "I'm really... looking forward to it."

Time flies, and the days are spent in preparation and waiting.

Isengard and Master Goser prepare plans for a possible raid. Patrick is still plotting something.

The changes of the aborigines have become so obvious that ordinary people in Port Harrison also have a premonition, and the patrol route of the guards is also pressing forward, obviously looking for loopholes and opportunities.

Viscount Grant and Elder Purdue have not left the armory in the underground of the Viscount's Mansion for several days, while Knight Yam, Lamar and others are also preparing the logistics and funds related to the fleet.

The sea also seems to have fallen into silence. The South China Sea has been considered calm recently, which makes the fishermen feel uneasy, because in this season, the calmer the day, the more violent the typhoon will be in the future.

As for the pirates, Ian didn't know the situation very well, but the silver chip showed that they had moved to another place, which was beyond the limit detection range of the chip.

However, Shasha has been tracking them from a distance, and comes to report to Ian from time to time, so they are not completely ignorant.

Outsiders from the imperial capital, Port Harrison, natives and pirates.

If you add the "Zhanhai Crystal Dragon" which is regarded as the mission target by most of the forces...

It can be said that the entire coast of Nanling Province is like a storm.

And this very day - April 16, 773 Tara.

The storm has arrived.

April 16 morning.

The sweltering morning atmosphere made it impossible to lie in bed at ease. Many elderly people got up early to look at the clouds and mountains outside the sea and the strong wind that was blowing the forest.

They who have lived in the South China Sea for decades know better than anyone else that a rare storm is coming, and it is coming on this extremely hot and humid day, which makes one's desires exhausted.

But just as the storm cannot affect the exploration ship of the Platinum Iridium Workshop to set off for the open sea, the hot and humid weather cannot affect the appetite of the little boy of the White People.

"Hey, eat slowly, don't choke..."

After exercising in the morning, Ian just came out of the kitchen and served a pot of kelp rib soup when he saw that the breakfast on the table had been swept away by his younger brother.

Bread, broth, eggs, and well-prepared grilled devil fish steaks—to be precise, Ian’s handmade fish steak burgers, which also add high-quality vegetable leaves, tomatoes and sour berries, and go down in one bite. Full of healthy flavor.

Telling people in this era that hamburgers are junk food is to underestimate the nutritional value of ingredients. In this era when many people can't afford oil, Ian's ability to fry fish steaks is considered a luxury.

"Um?"

Hearing Ian's voice, Elan raised his head in a daze, still holding the last bit of bread and minced meat left over from the fish steak burger.

The boy's mouth was bulging, and the food was obviously delicious. He looked like a big redwood squirrel.

Weak, cute, and edible.jpg

"Forget it, as long as you don't choke."

Shaking his head slightly, although Elan's appetite was far inferior to his, Ian knew very well that this was probably the 'sequel' of him suppressing the distortion for Elan.

Or rather, reasonable development.

The steel bones on Elan's shoulders did not stop growing due to malnutrition, and then became deformed. Now they have begun to develop slowly... This kind of development is a very slow process, basically growing together with the boy's normal bones. This is a bit like the first The process of spontaneous awakening of the bloodline seeds by the descendants of sublimators above the third energy level.

After Elan passed puberty, the steel bone would gradually mature and become a whole elementary sublimated organ.

During this process, Elan will at some point take in a lot of nutrients and store them in the steel bone process to prepare for the formal sublimation of puberty.

But also, if the threshold cannot be crossed at that time, these nutrients will instead become fuel for distortion, burning up Elan's life and creating a terrifying distortion organization.

"I already have some clues about the potion of the Silver Peak Emissary, mainly because the materials are not easy to obtain... and to be honest, the Silver Peak Emissary obviously has insufficient potential. Make Elam an envoy of the Silver Peak."

Rubbing the little boy's head, Ian asked him to carry the dishes to wash the dishes by himself - Elan was also nine years old, and it was natural to do housework.

What's more, anyone who likes to cook knows that cooking is one thing, and washing dishes after eating is another.
