"Hi."

Ian put down the information in his hand, shook his head slightly, and smiled sarcastically in his heart: "Even a dragon can have a human body - Xio's body is pure blood and cannot be more pure blood, but it does not hinder His or her true identity is a dragon. The essence of the Ascendant is the same. For Terra, many steel-like concepts on the earth are meaningless."

"Because this world... really has extraordinary power."

When I think of Xio, I think of dragons. Speaking of dragons, the two dragon eggs from the Crystal Dragon mission come to mind.

Ask as soon as it comes to mind.

Isengard seemed to have expected that Ian would ask this question, and handed another document to the boy with a smile.

"The Quiet Sea Labyrinth next to Wusha Port...I know this, but it hasn't hatched yet?"

Ian looked at the report on the file and nodded clearly: "If you think about it carefully, it's true."

On the way of the insect swarm, only one of the three dragon eggs left by the ether crystal dragon could hatch normally, and the other two were defective. After being transformed into a insect nest, he fused with the normal dragon egg and turned it into a normal dragon egg. The three-headed Ether Ultimate Crystal Dragon.

Even if it is taken away by the empire for special care and hatching, it may still be a bit difficult to hatch it normally.

and……

Ian suddenly had a premonition.

"Is it possible... that merging them into one would be the normal choice?"

With the power of the insect nest, if he wanted to cultivate three etheric crystal dragons normally, he would definitely not forcibly merge them into one - after all, three to one. For me at that time, even three etheric crystal dragons were The cultivation speed is inferior to that of the Ultimate Crystal Dragon, but it is definitely better than one.

Moreover, although the ether crystal dragon tried to expel the influence of the insect nest on the three eggs before it died... but due to the super adaptability of the crystal dragon eggs, the three dragon eggs may still be contaminated with some characteristics of the insect nest.

For example... psionic neural network?

"We have to see what happens to the crystallized dragon egg that Shark takes care of."

Just when Ian thought of this, Isengard also curiously asked the same question: "Ian, what about the shark and the dragon egg left behind? Has it hatched?"

"I'm not so sure either."

Ian raised his left hand and stared at the authority of the 'Lord of the Labyrinth': "Let me sense it."

"Can you still sense it?"

Amid Ethan's surprised voice, Ian closed his eyes, and he began to try to use the power of the core authority of the Sequoia Base in the silver chip to sense the situation at the end of the South Ridge and the distant sea of ​​Harrison Port.

Suddenly, a vague feeling came, as if he was swimming in the sea, and he was still glowing "didi beep beep".

--ah? Glowing brightly?

Ian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt a sudden strong impact - it was as if he hit his head on a ship, and then his body smoothly passed through the big hole and returned to the sea... A wave of spontaneous The joy and joy in my heart emerged, making me want to shake my tail!

Forget it, be confident, he can remove the 'almost like'.

Shark did hit a boat! It was a very happy collision! The beeping beeping light is a sign that it is very happy!

"Why are you ramming another ship? Whose ship is it hitting?!"

Ian was shocked and asked immediately.

The shark was surprised. It seemed that it did not expect that Ian would actually contact him at this time today, so it stopped swinging its body, and the whole shark began to sink quickly to the bottom with a gurgling sound: "Oh! (Boss!)"

"Stop it, what's going on?"

"Oh——" (Breaking people——)

Along with the violent swimming sound, the happy voice of Shark sounded: "Oh. Oh! Oh~" (I saw someone. They entered the maze! I hit the boat~)

"I see."

Ian understood. It seemed that Shark was indeed acting according to his instructions: "Well done, pay attention to safety, and keep up the good work!"

"Oh!" (Yes!)

Shark is happy.

Ian asked again about the dragon egg, and Shark said the egg was very good, just as good as him, but unfortunately it would not move.

It's good that it can't move, otherwise, this shark might bring the crystal dragon with it and crash into the boat.

The young man imagined that a steel-armored shark was traveling across the South China Sea with a small crystal dragon, bumping into anyone it looked at, and leaving a "What are you looking at" ooh...

Does he feel quite sexy?

"Not hatched, but healthy."

Ian turned his head and said to Isengard: "The crystal dragon probably won't hatch so soon. There will probably be some signs until the end of the year."

"Yes." Isengard sat at his desk and wrote down the news: "Then I will ask about the situation after a while, and then we will compare and confirm it."

Ian raised his eyebrows. He stood behind Isengard and looked at the dense notes he had written down: "You have changed a lot, Ethan. You are much more mature than you were two months ago."

“It’s so well prepared, it’s completely different from the past.”

"Actually... I'm just imitating you." Isengard stopped writing. He was silent for a while, and then admitted sincerely: "In other words, try to learn a correct example. And you are the most correct and powerful one in my knowledge."

After writing the notes, Isengard turned his head and looked at Ian. He said seriously: "I used to be too arrogant and too inferior."

"My arrogance is because I think that I don't need to understand these things, and I can still learn and do research with peace of mind. It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But my family background allows me to do this. My father hopes that I don't understand these things. , Mother also wants to protect me better."

"And my low self-esteem... is because I feel like I'm not worthy of understanding these complicated things."

Lowering his eyes, Isengard's tone gradually became firmer: "But now, I understand. Ian, I saw you walking to the imperial capital step by step, and when I heard the things you did along the way, I understood."

"I may have been born with a good family background and excellent conditions...but I have never taken my destiny into my own hands."

"I have to change that. It starts with understanding the world around me."

"You are more powerful than I thought." Ian nodded slightly and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Almost all my questions have been answered. I also know the situation in the imperial capital and the information about the three princes and princesses - —The nobles outside may only be able to guess based on superficial appearances, but we have already grasped the fundamentals."

"The next step is to solve your problem. Isengard, don't deny it. I saw that you were worried when you were reading in the park. You must have something to solve."

"I really can't hide it from you."

In response, the blond boy shook his head with some shame. He closed his notes, thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, it's a problem with the platinum and iridium workshop. As you know, I have now become the deputy manager of the Southern Territory. Although He has a high position and great authority, but he doesn’t have many real people under his command.”

"Actually, it's still authority. I'm too young, and I don't have the support of anyone except the teacher's faction in the Platinum Iridium Workshop. Although it's not like I'm being blocked by others, I really don't have enough authority to do some things on weekdays."

"Ian, you have to help me with this." He sighed.

"No problem." Ian said seriously: "The question is, what specific things need to be done to solve your problem?"

"Show your true skills."

Looking at Ian, Isengard nodded slowly. His tone was solemn and full of expectation: "Join the Platinum and Iridium Workshop, Ian, and become my deputy."

"Then, let them know your level and talent - and I'll have a whole lab ready for you."

"Let's have a big fight and show off our skills. Let them see how close you are to a master level!"

"This...this condition."

Raising his head slightly, Ian blinked, feeling like he was about to fall asleep when he reached for the pillow.

He laughed: "I really can't refuse."
