Dusk has arrived, the twilight is sinking, the sun gradually disappears among the Baisen mountains, and the purple-blue sky slowly turns to blue-gray.

The moonlight gradually enveloped Shuangshu Town.

Due to the raid by the 'Dragon Cult', the defense in Shuangshu Town became tighter. In addition, a large-scale escape occurred in the prison in Nauman City at noon today. Even the patrolling guards seemed more vigilant than usual. Three points.

It's just that all these methods used to increase vigilance are of little use to an ascendant who wants to deliberately hide his whereabouts.

When Mr. Yinfang saw Ian in his robe safe and sound in his chamber of commerce, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his inner mood was not that surprising.

Of course, the old man still showed great concern on the surface, and could even be said to be 'shocked'.

For ordinary people, this disguise is enough, but for Ian, he can completely see that Mr. Yinfang had received the news before he came back and knew that he was fine.

He even knew exactly when he would set out and when he would arrive.

——As expected, the background behind Mr. Yinfang is the Dragon Worship Cult.

Ian knew it in his heart. No wonder a businessman who was not an Ascended person could be appreciated by the Marquis of Barton, and could become a rich man without having his wealth snooped by other nobles and Ascended people...

But at the same time, Ian was also on guard.

In the future, if he meets someone like Mr. Yinfang who appears to have little strength but actually has a high status, he will never underestimate him.

Maybe there is some big force lurking behind it!

"Fortunately, you are back in good health - my knight, if you make even the slightest mistake, how can I, an old man, have the nerve to meet your family..."

With a long sigh, the old gentleman held the young man's hand tightly.

Mr. Yinfang meant this sentence 100% sincerely. He was frightened by Ian's 'reckless decision'.

In the middle of the night, he was attacked by a mysterious sublimated person, and then without hesitation, he turned around and chased the opponent who was suspected of cheating.

Just saying this is outrageous.

Even if you have psychic powers and can see that the opponent's strength is lower than yours, you can't do this... There is no guarantee that the opponent will be able to hide his strength, or have some dangerous sublimation items, or even more simply, just do it with a backhand. What about the gun-charged alchemy gun?

"I understand. I'm sorry, sir, for worrying you."

And Ian gave Mr. Yinfang a hug, and his apology was sincere.

This adventure, which was decided because of the 'opportunity' of foretelling the horizon, really gained him a lot. Not only did he get to know Anfa, Xiou, Elder Manya and others, he opened up the network of people in the Dragon Worship Sect, but he also gained a lot. The material for the fourth organ of the Sand Armor Apprentice.

Is this difficult to say? The main difficulty is that in order to avoid suspicion, Ian cannot purchase relevant materials in Harrison Port, and it is difficult to find suitable ones when hunting by himself.

With the channels of the Dragon Worship Cult, things will be much easier if you don't have to deal with so many middlemen.

Ian even had a hunch that he would start preparing soon. The second-level materials for the Sand Armor Apprentice would basically have to be obtained through the Dragon Worship Cult.

After meeting and reporting that they were safe, Ian went to talk to Viscount Grant, Elder Puder and Elan.

The Viscount seriously criticized Ian's unintended move this time, and reminded Ian that recently there is a force in Nanling that seems to be operating secretly, trying to break the balance of Nanling.

He thinks that if Ian senses something is wrong, don't be afraid of embarrassment and just stay in Nauman City. He just needs a spokesperson in the capital. If Ian is there, he doesn't have to send out the Yam Knight.

This was considered concern. After all, Viscount Grant did not know the details behind so many incidents. For this, Ian expressed his gratitude, but still insisted on going to the Imperial Capital, because Master Gosei's guidance and the recruitment of Boin Workshop needed to be there. can be completed.

Not to mention the assessment of the Inspector Knight. If Marquis Barton agrees to Ian becoming an apprentice of the Inspector Knight, the assessment will have to go to the imperial capital.

In this case, after comprehensive consideration of the final benefits, Viscount Grant decided not to interfere with Ian's experience. Ultimately, as long as he remembers this lesson, he believes that Ian will never put himself in danger.

The hardest person to fool was fooled. Elder Puder and Elan were obviously not worried about Ian at all - Elan's psychic potential was manifested in his super-sensory ability. He could know Ian when he was emotional. and Elder Pude, two people he cared about.

"Don't be too arrogant." This is the advice left by Elder Pu De: "If you think you are smart, it is a fact."

"But how big is the world? Even if there is no one smarter than you, there are always many like you. Don't believe too much in 'wisdom'."

The ‘wisdom’ implied by the elders originally meant ‘prophet’. And Ian thought so.

This time he encountered the 'Momentary Skull' in the Ryan Territory. Although there is a high probability that the Academy of Gnosis is conducting prophetic experiments, and it is not true that there are so many prophetic items circulating in the world, this also proves that the world of Terra has Major forces have some counter-prophecies or prophetic abilities.

It can even be said that in an extraordinary world with a clear prophetic heritage, if a big force does not have the ability to prophesy and counter-prophecy...

How strong must it be to avoid being destroyed?

However, after confirming this, Ian relaxed a lot.

Because he was actually based on his place of birth, the intelligent monitoring and prediction system of the 'Earth Federation', as a substitute simulation object for the 'Prophet of the Great Power'.

But now, after actually seeing the inheritance of another prophet, Ian understands that any prophet's ability has limitations, and this limitation is huge. It can be said that he only specializes in one aspect, which is far inferior to one that covers the whole world. The world’s smart network.

At most, it is an advantage in predicting the future.

Compared with other prophetic powers, the advantage of precognitive vision is that it can check trends at any time.

There are no conditions for precognitive vision, and the existence of the other party's prophet can be detected at the first opportunity - as long as Ian can't see the change in trend or the fog of the other party, he can be sure.

In this case, as a prophet who cannot be predicted, his advantage is actually greater than he imagined.

After all, Ian's prophecy requires only physical strength and can be turned on as long as needed, but this may not be the case for other prophets.

But what Elder Puder said is right.

Ian knows very well that he cannot blindly trust his own psychic powers, and he should really be more vigilant in important matters.

"Brother, look, the flowers are blooming!"

As for Ellan, although he misses Ian a little, he has actually long been accustomed to studying and living alone... Over the years, the most time Ian spent with him was actually when the boy was working and the little boy was playing by himself. Or study.

Not to mention, after awakening his psychic potential, Elan didn't feel that his brother was far away from him - as long as he wanted to, he could get a rough idea of ​​Ian's situation. At the very least, you can feel the emotional resonance.

After the meditation training at Huaiguang Church, Qingchao accompanied him everywhere to fish and catch shells, and discussed flowers and plants with Finance Officer Lamar, and he lived a very happy life.

This is enough.

At this moment, the little boy was describing to Ian the fluffy pot in his hand through the communication device. It looked like a dandelion, but it was bigger and did not shed hair as easily as a 'white velvet flower'.

He said the flower felt very good and felt like the leopard blanket Ian brought back last time. Every time he touched it, he felt refreshed.

"It's great, but be careful about allergies."

Ellan's laughter sounded quite sunny, and Ian couldn't help but laugh together.

After spending a sum of money from Mr. Yinfang and chatting with his family for a while, Ian closed it.

He stood in front of the communication equipment and was silent for a while, his eyes a little dazed.

Unknowingly, he already had real family and friends in this world, his own family and companions, and his own 'power'.

Although it is still very small and inconspicuous, it is even just a prototype.

But there is, there is.

"I have a weakness. The prophet's weakness, in the final analysis, is the people around him."

Talking to himself and looking at the communication device in front of him, Ian chuckled: "Interesting, this feels pretty good."

"It's time to move on."

With such a sense of urgency and full motivation, Ian borrowed Mr. Yinfang's alchemy laboratory and began to prepare the relevant semi-magic potion for the Sand Armor Apprentice.

Two hours and forty minutes later, the semi-magic potion related to the 'melting iron stomach pouch' was freshly baked.
