Perhaps it was a strange coincidence, or this sudden storm in the South China Sea was originally an abnormal phenomenon caused by changes in the ruins.

After Ian and others returned to Port Harrison, the rainstorm gradually stopped.

The rain curtain thinned out, and the thick cloud gradually parted, revealing the bright golden sun behind it.

When everyone saw beams of light hanging down from the sky of the South China Sea to the blue sea, they suddenly remembered that it was still noon, but the gloomy weather that had not seen the sun for several days made them unable to accurately grasp the accuracy of time.

After getting off the boat, Ian was immediately dragged by Elder Pude to the Elder's Hall of Bai Zhimin.

Theoretically, Ian, who had just returned from the maze, had to accept the inquiry of the 19th Legion as soon as possible. After all, a maze of this level was involved. Among other things, a non-disclosure agreement must be signed.

But the regime of the empire means that it is basically impossible for the "theory" to appear, and the "special cases" are everywhere.

Leaving aside the fact that Master Gesai specifically ordered 'don't bother other young people', they are too lazy to ask for trouble...

Even if there are serious people who insist on asking about the situation.

Theoretically, Ian is the registered official sublimator, the first energy level, assigned under the command of Viscount Grant, the governor of Harrison Port in Nanling, and is the "full-time appraiser of the city hall" and the "official alchemist of Port Harrison". A genius psychic, with a local Bai Zhimin's chamber of commerce under his name, a real tycoon.

According to his specifications, a person at the official level needs to preside over the inquiry process in person, and also provide tea and incense, so that it is in line with etiquette.

If it's normal, it's fine-almost all the high-level executives are greeting Master Gosser and Isengard now, so where is the time to find Ian.

It would be interesting to give a report later, everyone is busy, without the imperial capital supervisor and patrolling knights, who is willing to really work hard.

After all, how much does the imperial capital pay? It's worth them looking for trouble when they have nothing to do, and causing trouble to other sublimators and local snakes.

"I won't ask about the specific situation. Later, you will pick something I need to know and tell me so that I can give the Viscount an explanation."

In the Elder's Hall, Elder Pude put down his umbrella, untied his rain-soaked coat, and hung it on a hanger beside him: "Now, go take a bath...I can't smell it, I smell blood all over my body."

He changed into a robe, then took out a change of clothes, and handed it to Ian: "I don't care, don't make Elan uncomfortable."

"Huh?"

Ian, who carried Elan all the way back and asked if he had eaten well in the past few days and whether he had completed his daily homework, was slightly taken aback.

He had really forgotten about the smell of blood—he had killed too many people and beasts in the ruins in the past few days, and he was indeed a little numb.

But thinking about it carefully, not long ago he had killed more than a dozen Feiyan marines, so it was not surprising that the smell of blood was heavy.

The boy lowered his head and looked at his younger brother who was blinking at him: "Does it smell bad? Remember to tell me if it smells bad."

"No way!" The boy replied confidently: "I can't smell it!"

Ian pondered for a while. He remembered that Elan's slow perception has improved a lot in recent years. Although his sense of smell is still a little insensitive, he should be able to feel the smell of blood.

Elder Pude said unhappily: "Okay, even if you smell fishy all over your body, Elan won't say it's bad. Go take a bath and tell me what you want to eat. I'm sure you haven't had much trouble in the ruins these days. Eat well?"

"I didn't eat at all." Ian put down the obedient Elan, then picked up a change of clothes, and was about to go to the bathroom: "However, I drank a lot of stamina potions. Thanks to Master Goser, I drank at least a hundred talers .”

"Physical Potion..."

Elder Pude obviously understands what this means, after all, he was also a member of the imperial family back then.

The old man repeated in a somewhat complicated tone, then shook his head and said, "In that case, then I'll order more food."

The bathroom on the second floor is usually used by Elder Pude himself. In recent years, a hot spring bath has been added, which can be regarded as imitating the public baths in the new city. The cobbled bath bottom even has the function of massaging the soles of the feet, which is very popular among the elderly. welcome.

Although no one will say anything after soaking for a while, Ian will not really take a bath when his family is waiting for him to eat - he turns on the water pipe to rinse his body.

Wow...

The water poured down.

It has to be said that the Viscount's construction over the years has indeed achieved results. Although the hot water supplied by the waste heat from the alchemy furnace core has not spread throughout Harrison Port, at least 80% of the residential areas can use it.

From the perspective of a leader, Viscount Grant is a very good lord.

He does make his territory better and better. Although he can't take everyone into account and enjoys his own priority, he will indeed fight for the future of the people.

But people are not perfect. As Patrick said before his death, his friend was not very ambitious. If there is no accident, maybe the Viscount will try to build Harrison Port better all his life... But if he has If he has a greater ambition, then he will do his best to serve that ambition.

Whether targeting the relics or the aborigines, Ayers Grant has the means and perseverance to achieve his goals.

"This hand..."

Ian washed it quickly. Rather, he wasn't very dirty in the first place—most of the blood was stained on his clothes, and the young man's body was protected by the essence, and he couldn't even use a sword. Mere filth? He washes his body and hair, not so much as cleaning, but as a sense of ritual, a habit.

At this time, he can think more clearly about some problems.

Drying his body with a towel, Ian saw his left arm when he was about to change into clean clothes.

Left arm fused with Moran Steel and Pyder Furnace.

This left arm now presents a special crystalline jade texture, especially on the forearm. It is like a pure white jade with cyan metal patterns etched on it. .

No, it's not cyan, but the translucent texture of the Moran steel—it's just because of the penetration of Ian's source quality that it appears light cyan.

This arm is very heavy, which makes Ian's center of gravity slightly shifted, but this is not a big problem. Ascendants have to adapt to the changes brought about by these special body structures, and they can't adapt to it. Don't fight in the future .

As for the appearance, Ian has a set of alchemy gloves, which can cover this part, but the blue lines on the upper arms and shoulders cannot be covered...but generally no one will pay much attention to it.

In Terra, both inscription emblems and battle patterns are very common, especially in this frontier area with an indigenous cultural atmosphere, it is even more common.

The only problem is that...

"Does this count as my fourth first energy level sublimation organ?"

Facing the mirror, Ian frowned and pointed at the location of several of his sublimated organs in the mirror: "Liver-sand armor core, thymus-heart of fertile soil, spine-clean crystal bone."

"On the silver chip, the Wavesinger's 'Tide Tide Orb' and 'Wave-Singing Throat'—plus the 'Fairy Wings' transferred from the fairy blood, my six sublimation structures are the reason why I am more powerful than ordinary people." A more powerful capital for sublimators."

"But I can still be stronger—whether it's repairing the ancient dragon core left by my teacher, or trying to transform into a goblin bloodline, or the fourth sand armor apprentice sublimation organ, I can become stronger."

Only those who surpass the limit can forge the road to the sixth energy level step by step.

Of course, in the future, Ian believes that he can definitely find a more convenient path to the sixth energy level... He believes that the sixth energy level is not as complicated and difficult as the teacher imagined, and he must break through the five limits Organs can be advanced to the extreme realm.

There must be a key trick, which can make the fifth energy level smoothly step on the sixth energy level, and also make the road to the fifth energy level smoother.

But because they have no one before, and no one in the foreseeable future, they can only try.

This is the meaning of inheritance, and the meaning of 'pioneering'.
