It means a few things, but not much.

Mrs. Ellen mainly thanked Ian for his achievements and thanked him for helping Isengard and Master Gosei in the maze. She also expressed her appreciation for Ian, encouraged the young man to continue working hard, and then told him that he Many of the things that help Isengard reason are critical, even crucial.

of course. Ian raised his eyebrows. He felt that the other party would not deliberately send him a letter just to express his gratitude.

Continuing to read, Mrs. Ellen asked him if he was willing to work in the Platinum and Iridium Workshop. As long as he went to the main workshop of Nanling in Nauman City and participated in a scene test, he could become the exploration alchemist of the workshop.

My daily job is to travel around, and I only need to write some relevant reports on a regular basis, and I will receive a basic salary of four talers per week. I can also get free food and accommodation in a place with a workshop. If I get any new and special alchemy materials, or from If you collect any niche pharmaceutical formulas from the public, you can also get a share from the workshop.

This is simply because Ian has not yet tested for the official alchemist qualification certificate. If he has the qualification certificate, his basic salary will rise to four hundred and fifty thalers a year.

"So generous?"

Ian was a little surprised. Money or not was a trivial matter. If nothing else, even if he became an official alchemist, his annual salary would probably not be as much as the refined alchemy instrument given to him by Isengard.

He knows very well that what is really important is the establishment of this 'exploration alchemist', but the establishment of the Imperial Capital Headquarters!

Those stewards in rural areas may never have the chance to join the headquarters staff in their lifetime, and the resources of the headquarters, the alchemy potion formulas available, and many benefits are certainly not comparable to those of the local branches.

Just like the formal alchemist establishment at the headquarters gave a one-story apartment building as a residence... It also means that the Platinum Iridium Workshop is so wealthy that it can actually give away a house in the imperial capital!

Although you have to pay it back if you resign, but who will resign?

This letter is almost over.

The letter did not mention why Ian needed the second-level potion materials now, nor did it mention any other superfluous matters. It was obvious that he had considered the possibility of the letter being discovered.

On the surface, it seems that Mrs. Ellen admires Ian, a young genius who saved her child's life, and uses quite generous terms to win over him.

"It's more formulaic. It seems that Isengard is smarter. He listened to my instructions and didn't tell his mother the information in the ruins in detail - which is a bit of progress."

Ian put down the letter and felt calm. His mentality was much more mature than his age, and he would not be excited about such a degree of wooing.

On the contrary, he doesn't want to draw too much attention yet, and the current level of attention is just right... It happens to be that he is applying to be a patrol knight. At first glance, those who review him will think that he is a direct descendant of Viscount Grant, but if they take a closer look, they will think that he is the princess. A section under Mrs. Ellen.

With these two layers of protection, he basically doesn't have to worry about his identity. He is truly a son of a good family.

Putting the letter aside, Ian began to check the potion materials in the snow crystal storage box.

There are three materials in total.

The main material is [Fairy Feather], the secondary materials are [Essence of Green Grass] and [Lingguang Pumice]

Counting the main ingredient Ian already has [Fairy Streaming Light] and the auxiliary ingredient [Psychic Nourishing Extract] that he is about to purchase, the second-level fairy potion is complete.

Needless to say, the fairy's flying feathers are the same template as the first-level molting feathers.

It's just that the flight feathers are the feathers left by the real fairies. As the name suggests, the feathers are the parts that fall off from childhood to full body.

The waterweed is a sublimated plant that only grows in fast-flowing underground rivers that do not see light. Its appearance is as pure as snow, and its leaves are curled into a cylindrical shape similar to pitcher plants to filter nutrients and water system sources in the underground river. growing up.

Its complete body is the second-level predator magic plant "Mingliu Grass Group". Multiple Mingliu grasses will gather together and sneak into the huge underground lake to actively hunt other water-type monsters as their own nutrients.

Lingguang pumice is a unique sublimation material that can be suspended in the ocean and is not affected by tides and gravity. It is blue and translucent in color and is very light. It can convert source matter and water into extremely huge propulsion force, and can also The propulsion is converted into energy and stored inside. The more energy stored, the brighter the light becomes.

It is said that the King of the Seaborn once built a huge palace in the sea with cool pumice stones, standing in the middle of the Wandering Sea, and it could be used as a fortress when needed.

The materials in the precognitive vision are all dark purple, which means they are substantial and of high quality. It is indeed a thank-you gift from the Ellen family, and there is really no shame in it at all.

"good."

Ian closed the storage box and smiled: "It's much better than I thought."

Of course, it is actually very simple to be better than Ian imagined, because he usually thinks about worse possibilities, so life is full of surprises.

Putting the preservation box in the safe that came with the room, Ian left the workshop.

He was going to wander around and see what was going on in this peaceful mountainside town.

The results were unsatisfactory.

Not to mention that the sky is full of clouds and a little rain falls from time to time. The early summer Xiahui grass and other crops do not need to be taken care of. There are few pedestrians on the street.

The knight's armor he wore was too conspicuous, more majestic than friendly, and the farmers and craftsmen he met trembled and did not dare to say anything.

If you are an ordinary person, you can just change your clothes at this time. Although your defense is lowered, there is no need to wear armor in the city.

But Ian is not an ordinary person... With his appearance, if he really took off his helmet, communication would be even more troublesome.

At least there were a few people wearing alchemist armor who stuttered in reply and took off their helmets, maybe they were all chatting up.

However, it is not without gain.

Leian City is a peaceful city. The main industries here are herbal medicine workshops and relatively low-end alchemy workshops. It is busiest in late autumn and early winter when potions are harvested. The rest of the time is the leisure season. Some people work part-time as carpenters. Furniture makes a living, and some people go fishing, but the scale is not large, so the permanent population here is not large.

In contrast, the city is quite wealthy. In other words, the entire Ryan Territory is relatively wealthy because of the franchise of Xiahui grass and several other sublimated plants.

The residents of Goldenleaf Town even received planting subsidies, so even if the Baron didn't send an Ascended One to deal with the Sharpclaw Tiger problem for them, they were all speaking for Baron Ryan.

In the same way, most residents of Rhianland are very proud of their hometown and love the baron very much.

After knowing that Ian wanted to come here to buy the psychic nourishing extract, even ordinary people who were afraid of Ian before became energetic and regretfully told Ian that he was a step late.

Although most Xiahui grasses only mature in late autumn, some late-maturing Xiahui grasses obviously have enough nutrients, but they will not show abnormal phenomena in the first year, but after a winter and spring of precipitation. , releasing Xia Hui in the summer of the second year.

This kind of two-year-old Xiahui grass is the real high-quality goods. It is usually sent to Nauman City or even the Imperial Capital. It is impossible to buy it on the market through the Chamber of Commerce. You can only come to Laian City in person or have high-level officials from the empire. Only with the relationship can you have the opportunity to purchase such high-quality products.

But just some time ago, a group of thieves stole a batch of two-year-old rosacea that the baron was going to give to Nauman City. The baron was furious and even imposed a curfew. That's why the city of Ryan that Ian saw was so dull.

The baron is usually quite gentle to his subjects, but it is scary when an honest person gets angry. Everyone does not want to get into trouble, so they have been staying at home during the recent period and not coming out much.

Beyond that, Ian couldn't ask for anything else.

"How can a thief steal a large amount of two-year-old Xia Hui grass? Flying Flame Land? No, I'm afraid Flying Flame Land really doesn't have the energy this time."

Watching the back of a herbal grower leaving, Ian crossed his arms and tapped the armor on his arms with his fingers doubtfully: "And it's said to be martial law, but it's not much of a martial law - the guards didn't do anything when they saw me just now. Interrogation, if there is really a thief, even if I am a knight, I have to inquire about the origin, right?"

Soon, he had a pretty reasonable guess.

"What do you think is going on, Anfa?"

At this moment, Ian turned his head and asked the elf bachelor who was already standing at the intersection when he asked the question, "What did you find out?"

"Sir, the answer to this question is actually very simple."

Anfa also smiled slightly when they met again because the city was too small.

The handsome green-haired elf saluted Ian and said slowly: "You must have thought... Since a batch of 'materials originally intended to be sent to superiors' was stolen by a 'group of elusive thieves', then the Baron himself must There won't be any trouble other than a 'security-conscious' responsibility."

"As for the next answer, you, the knight, may be able to tell me, but I, a foreign scholar, dare not make wild guesses."

"yes."

Ian nodded, and he couldn't help but sigh: "So, this is probably a cutscene that everyone understands."

——The guard steals, and the fire dragon burns the warehouse.

It seems that even in a different world, as long as there are humans and even intelligent creatures, this kind of drama is inevitable.
