As Pansha said, Ian himself didn't really want to stir up this muddy water.

It's not that the Dragon Worship Cult's identity is exposed, it's mainly that he can only show the strength of the first-level goblin in front of others, which is too restrictive.

But if you don't go with the empire, it would be too dangerous to act alone.

The young man knew nothing about what was going on in the Western Region, and he didn't even know what to prepare for.

Although Xiou is indeed a good person, a good person or a good dragon, but for Ian to risk his life and expose himself to save him... even Xiou himself would probably find it outrageous.

"But I can't do nothing, or I'll be in a bad mood."

Ian thought: "At least he gave me some jewelry, so I have to help."

"The information is sufficient. For Elder Manya and the others, it's probably no different than if I went there in person."

If others are kind to him, he will definitely reciprocate, unless the very act of repaying will put him in danger.

This is Ian's creed in life.

The Knights of the Patrol, lower city, garrisoned in the fortress area.

The place is in full swing. Many teams are gathering. Various transportation vehicles and even flying cars are taking off and landing here. Noisy communication sounds can be heard all the time. It is obvious that there is something big going on.

And Ian also saw an acquaintance here - Tres was also gathering his team here. Just after the lecture, the knight also saw the boy.

"Ian? I haven't seen you recently."

The tall knight was a little surprised. He smiled and waved to Ian: "Why, you were notified too?"

"No."

Ian looked at the opponent's fully armed appearance, including armor, weapons, alchemy guns and emergency potions hanging on his waist. It was obvious that he was about to go on a mission immediately.

He shook his head and said, "That's why I came over to check on the situation."

"do not you know?"

Tres was also a little surprised, but he quickly reacted: "It seems that the regiment does not want to affect your research. The deputy regiment leader personally told you not to disturb you if it is not something important, so that you can do it with peace of mind. experiment."

"Is this important?"

Ian asked: "Originally, I wanted to continue doing experiments, but it turned out that there was something going on with the association, my paper was not reviewed, and there was also something big going on with the Knights - I felt a little isolated."

"Isolation? It's protection. After all, it's not particularly important."

Tres touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and gestured toward the southwest: "In general, the Lingzhiyuan has made a big mistake. Do you know the conflict between Earl Phoenix and the Lingzhiyuan a few days ago?"

certainly. Ian thought. He was the one who stirred up this matter from the beginning.

Is it possible that this achievement has a chain reaction? Is he really just that butterfly wing?

"In recent times, under the auspices of Earl Phoenix, many people have discovered that in addition to the Imperial Capital Library, there have been similar theft cases in many private libraries and related classic book depositories."

"Some were done by the Lingzhiyuan, and some were done by unknown forces under the guise of the Lingzhiyuan, which made their ministers miserable."

Tres didn't notice Ian's subtle expression. He looked in the direction of the Imperial Capital with a look of gloating on his face: "All stolen books have one characteristic, that is, they have a special 'spiritual' host... and they can be traced The information indicates that the final gathering place of these books is the Awak area in the Grand Duchy of Thorin."

"But what a coincidence? Just two weeks ago, the Awak area under the jurisdiction of Grand Duke Solin completely lost contact with the outside world. Several cities and dozens of villages and towns in that area, with a population of nearly one million, were completely silent. The refugees also have no voice - the Huaiguang Church said it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, so they could not predict it."

"Guess what?" Tres said with a showy expression.

Ian narrowed his eyes, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Feiyandi did it, right?"

"Yes. You are really smart!" Tres laughed, and then sighed: "After checking for a long time, we found that there is a super giant unregistered laboratory in the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge, and many inappropriate things are done in it. It was an illegal experiment under imperial regulations, and the reason why the Awak region was silenced was the result of one of their experiments.”

"Now it is basically certain that the entire Awak area has become a hell on earth. Many scout teams have gone and never returned. Those who came back are also crazy, shouting that there are corpses on the ground. The city has been shadowed by death. Covering...no doubt this is some kind of psychic damage."

"But here comes the problem. The Lingzhiyuan doesn't know why the problem happened, and they are also confused about it. But they think that all this is a conspiracy between Grand Duke Thorin and Fei Yandi. The Lingzhiyuan guesses that Grand Duke Thorin I have secretly signed an agreement with Feiyandi a long time ago, and I want to rebel!"

"So..." Ian looked astonished: "Is this your mission? Find out the purpose of Archduke Thorin and stop the conspiracy of Flying Flame Land?"

This is indeed the job of the Inspector Knights.

"Yes." Tres turned back and looked at his team. He shrugged: "Being the team leader is a big task. We have to find out the abnormal situation in the Avak area."

"And, speaking of it, it is also related to our original mission - didn't we prevent the hijacking of Feiyandi on the train? The target of Feiyandi's spies, the 'Earth Vein Source Crystal' itself is a powerful natural spirit Able to aggregate, the ancients often used this precious treasure to create some sustainable spiritual creations...and this earth vein crystal itself can also connect to natural spiritual energy."

"The Knights speculate that what the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge said may be correct. Grand Duke Thorin has betrayed the country and is joining forces with Feiyandi to create a huge psychic ritual, which is detrimental to the empire!"

When he said this, Tres's expression also became solemn.

Although he is dissatisfied with many things, this knight wants to protect his country from the bottom of his heart: "Although we don't know what ritual they are going to perform, we must stop it no matter what it is. Protecting this country is what we patrol The honor of the Overwatch Knights lies!"

But at this point, Tres changed the topic: "Not to mention, the mission is dangerous, but it is also a good opportunity to take credit..."

"After all, we are different from you. I don't have much education, so I can't take credit for doing experiments in the imperial capital."

The second half of Tres' words were a bit sour, but he didn't mind showing such envy, and Ian didn't care about the other party's reasonable jealousy.

"Thank you for telling me this."

With that said, Ian thanked him seriously. He took out two potions from his pocket and handed them to Tres, who was a little surprised: "This is the potion I made recently... one is an enhanced version of the magic weapon potion, and the other is The concentration potion has special effects on psychic powers and curses."

"Don't worry, this magic weapon potion is different from the ones on the market, and it will definitely surprise you."

"Then let me say thank you first."

Tres took Ian's potion carefully. He thought about it and thanked Ian with great solemnity: "What I told you is not a secret. Wherever you ask, someone will answer you. But I am willing to admit Your favor, Ian.”

"I didn't doubt your strength just now or mock you. I know that an alchemist like you usually has a much harder job than a knight like me. It just looks easy. After all, you have to use your brain. But you care What’s this for?”

"how to say……"

I don't know since when, a water-colored halo flashed in Ian's eyes, reflecting the mist in front of him that was gradually fading, from black-red to blood-red.

After the potion was delivered, the signs of death on the knight in front of him began to change dramatically. Now it was just a fatal danger rather than a death crisis.

Therefore, the white-haired boy paused for a while, and then said: "I was wondering if I should give you a few more bottles of potion."

"In that case, at least you can save your life on this mission."

Tres: "?"
