High Above

Ian thought of Baron Ryan.

Before he was exposed, this nobleman was quite popular among the people. If he did not go crazy and arrested people for experiments, his reputation in the local area was very high.

Because the baron will use the money earned from sublimation and psychic plants such as Xiahui grass to subsidize local residents, allowing them to grow normal crops, purchase food storage, and ensure food prices are stable, so that everyone can settle in him with peace of mind. territory.

why? Because even if he gives a hundred-year subsidy to the entire territory, the benefits will not be as high as the fire dragon burning a cart of Xiahui grass in the warehouse.

The ecology of aristocrats and sublimators has become out of touch with ordinary people. The resources required by the former cannot be obtained by oppressing the latter. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to hunt wild beasts and monsters frequently. And even if the former accumulates food from more than a dozen granaries, it is impossible to use them to sublimate themselves.

But this only made Ian feel worried.

For such a civilizational system with a primitive system, such 'decoupling' is essentially a break at the level of life... This is not even a matter of class solidification.

The ecology is completely messed up.

"Fifth-level sublimators...even battles cannot take place on the planet. A dragon flies across the surface at twenty times the speed of sound, which is enough to destroy ten cities."

Watching the laughing scenes of the residents of Shuangshu Town in front of him, Ian had an extremely complicated emotion in his heart: "The only value ordinary people have for high-level sublimated people...is to select new sublimated seeds."

"Other than that, there's no other meaning."

After a moment of silence, Ian shook his head and stopped thinking about this issue.

He said goodbye to Mr. Yinfang and came to Shuangshu Town.

It took about five minutes for Ian to find his target in a pub.

The green-haired elf sat contentedly on the edge of the noisy bar. Although it was still very noisy here, at least it was not easily noticed.

But because of his appearance, it was a bit difficult to keep a low profile. Anfa politely declined three waves of people who invited him to have a drink with him, one of which was even a man.

No matter whether the other party is a man or a woman, Anfa is always very polite. His tutoring is definitely extraordinary. This is not a habit of ordinary scholars, but Ian does not care about this. If the other party is really with Bailong If he has connections with the church and can attract a dragon to find him, then his behavior may be quite ordinary in his own eyes.

"I don't drink. You don't mind if I drink tea."

Ian strode over and stood in front of Anfa as he watched in surprise. Ian's tone was intriguing: "Scholar Anfa, your whereabouts are really mysterious."

"Guide Knight, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The elf scholar smiled and cleared away the wine bottles on Ian's side of the table: "I don't really like drinking, but blending into the local atmosphere is obviously a more sensible approach."

Ian sat down with a smile and looked at the other person seriously, while Anfa also smiled politely in return.

Just what the young man said next made the bachelor's expression stunned: "Your friend found me yesterday and asked me where you were, and I thought you had returned to the mountain, so I suggested that he go back to the mountain to find you. "

"I didn't expect to see you in town today. I'm a little embarrassed now. I'm afraid that guy's trip was in vain - I didn't mean to lie to him."

"He... actually came out to you and asked me where I was?"

At this time, the elf scholar was also a little confused. He shook the wine glass and blinked, his golden eyes full of absurdity: "Nonsense, too nonsense... I'm sorry, Guide Knight, this is definitely not your fault."

After reacting, Anfa stood up and bowed to Ian very politely: "It was a communication error between my friend and I. Your guess is correct. If it weren't for an accident, I would not have returned to Shuangshu the same way I came. town."

"It's not a big problem." Ian told Anfa the truth directly without telling a lie: "We will set out to find your friend early tomorrow morning. We will probably meet him in a few days. He is riding a pony and his speed should be Not happy..."

This time the young man came here specifically to find Anfa, and he did so deliberately.

As soon as he left Ryan Territory, he noticed that there were people following him, and there were more than one person.

One of them is Xio, the dragon in disguise.

It is not clear which side the other one belongs to.

It may be because of the Dragon Worship Cult, which is involved in the Anfa line; it may also be because of the relationship between the Leian Territory and the Lingzhiyuan.

Although Xiou volunteered and said that he could help solve this problem, there was no way Ian could agree.

He is not stupid, and asked this dragon to help him drive away the pursuers behind him. If he was discovered, wouldn't he have become a Dragon Worship Cult inexplicably?

If he is just an ordinary knight, the investigation will be over. It is not surprising that dragons like to play tricks on people.

But Ian can't stand the investigation.

He really has the heart of an ancient dragon!

Because there really is a cow, the problem becomes troublesome... Ian even guessed that the dragon was just like the mountain elders he met at the mouth of Indoshan Gorge before. He saw a trace of dragon aura in his body, so he came here specially. Test yourself and win over yourself.

Ian is indeed very interested in the Dragon Worship Cult, especially information related to ancient dragons. It will definitely take a long time to obtain it from normal channels.

But with his current status, it is obviously unwise to be associated with the Dragon Worship Cult for no reason.

But this does not mean that Ian cannot take advantage of the opponent's power.

For example, it was hinted that Anfa should set off, leave Shuangshu Town, and find Xio.

In this way, if the second person chasing him breaks away from him and goes to find Anfa, it means that the other person is coming for the Dragon Worship Cult - this will save a lot of trouble, and Xio will definitely have a way to deal with him .

And he found an opportunity to help, and by the way, he asked these people how they sensed the aura related to the dragon on his body. He could suppress it.

This matter is quite important.

Ian believed that the reason why he had a blood-red fate as soon as he entered Nauman City in his precognitive vision was that he did not handle the dragon blood aura on his body, and was discovered by the forces who were still searching for the Dragon Cult.

The reason why the danger is much less after waiting for a while is because the person who can sense the dragon's blood is gone.

But leaving is only for a moment, what matters is the next life.

How could Ian go to the Imperial Capital with peace of mind without solving the dragon blood-related issues? It’s just a rural place like Nanling, there must be relevant experts in the imperial capital.

And the second possibility.

If the other party is not coming for Anfa, but for himself...

That thing is much simpler.

Ian lowered his eyes. He had several ways to let the Dragon Worship Cult take the initiative to help him solve his troubles and make himself owe them a favor.

Then let nature take its course and tell him without any doubt how to hide the dragon's blood.

He even took the initiative to recruit him into his group!

Asking to join the Dragon Worship Cult and being invited to join the Dragon Worship Cult are two different things!

"Sorry, I might not be able to wait until morning."

Anfa is also a smart man, but because he is so smart, he sees that Ian is not lying, and the process he describes is true and reasonable, and he also vaguely senses that Ian does have the aura of his unreliable friend, so He immediately judged what might have happened.

The night was long and there were many dreams, so he had to set out immediately to find the other party as soon as possible.

"Please forgive me, Guide Knight, and thank you for your help and reminder. I must set off immediately."

After packing his books and clothes, Anfa still politely said goodbye to Ian: "I wish you a pleasant night."

"You're welcome. It's also to make up for the bad consequences caused by my random speculation."

And Ian smiled and said goodbye to Anfa.

Some time later, after finishing a steak at a local tavern, he walked out of the tavern with a calm expression and casually glanced outside Futaba Town.

The purple mist is still there, and even the malicious red light has leaked out.

It seems that after all unexpected factors have been eliminated, he plans to attack himself tonight.

"Very good, it seems that it is aimed at me. It is too easy for a second level to deal with the first level. Whether I leave Shuangshu Town or fall asleep to conduct a raid, he is probably sure of it in an instant." One level 'knocks out and takes away confidence."

Not surprised, Ian had a countermeasure: "In that case, then I will do what he wishes."

They were all going to be attacked anyway, so why not create an opportunity for the other party to attack him.

Ian wanted to see who it was, whether it was the Lingzhi Academy or some mysterious organization from somewhere, who was going to take action against him!

Acting as he thought, he pretended to want to watch the moonlight at night and walked towards the deserted corner of the town.

The young man raised his head and stared at the moonlight, and soon arrived at the edge of the town.

The guard at the gate wanted to stop Ian - everyone entering and exiting the town at night must report it. After all, Shuangshu Town used to be a fortress, and now it is an important material transfer center, so it is naturally strict in this regard.

But after Ian showed his knight's coat of arms, everything became simple.

Amid the salute of the guards, he left Doubletree Town and came to the moat, as if taking a walk around the city.

For a young knight who had just left his hometown and experienced a long journey to another prosperous town, such an action was not unexpected, but rather reasonable.

Ian slowly came to the field, his silver-white armor blending into the moonlight. He even took off his helmet and breathed in the fresh air around him.

At this moment, a shadow quietly approached the young man.

Shadow doesn't find this easy.

In fact, he had been following the boy for a long time after Ian left Ryan City.

But along the way, probably because of being in the wild, Ian was very vigilant. Although he was confident that he could subdue the opponent in an instant, the two temple executors of Redemption and Sword of Light were on duty in the Ryan Territory. With a little surprise, the other party was able to call two strong men who were almost at the same level as him.

There is no need to take such a big risk.

But who would have known that a little further away from Ryan Territory, Shadow would be surprised to find that there was another person related to the Dragon Cult who, like him, was eyeing Ian.

--what happened?

The confused Shadow decided to wait patiently, and then watched with confusion as the red-haired mountain man from the Dragon Worship Cult had a simple dinner with the other person, and then said goodbye to each other.

Although it was not impossible to take action, a dragon had just flown over. He did not want to provoke the Dragon Worship Cult as an individual, so he waited until the red-haired mountain man was far away before observing the situation.

Then things became troublesome.

The next day, Ian walked on the road all day long, with pedestrians coming and going. It was daytime again, and anyone who wanted to take action would almost certainly be discovered, so he couldn't do it quietly.

He didn't find a chance until Ian came to town.

Until now, this difficult and lucky young knight finally ran into the wilderness alone!

Like a gentle breeze, approaching silently, the black shadow accumulated strength in his body. He quietly reached out and was about to touch Ian's armor.

But a hand pressed on his wrist.

Then, Ian turned his head and looked at the figure who was stunned for a moment. He looked solemn, but in fact he was smiling slightly.

Immediately afterwards, there was an announcement that resounded throughout the town.

"Enemy attack!"

"Dragon Worship Cult! Enemy attack!"
