Returning to Harrison Port was Ian's long-established plan.

Whether it is further cooperation with Viscount Grant, large-scale trade orders with large foreign chambers of commerce, or discussions on various smuggling activities in the future, these are all things that need to be discussed by Ian in person.

Of course, some people without emotional intelligence may ask: Then why didn’t Viscount Grant come to Xiahui?

Ian is not stupid. Viscount Grant is his old superior and his former lord. It is reasonable for him to visit him, not to mention that the other party is the owner of the port and the current lord of his Bai Zhimin family. Where? There is reason to let elders and landowners visit younger generations and partners.

Moreover, there is one more important thing.

Viscount Grant's child is about to be born.

The reason why Viscount Grant has not made any big moves or news recently is because he has been waiting for the birth of his child. Now that the situation is stable, he also wrote a letter to Ian specifically, saying that he hopes that Ian can be the child. The nominal teacher.

The Viscount obviously doesn't really think that Ian has time to teach his children. Even if he does have time, it will be at least six, seven or even ten years later.

But the name is the name, and it is essentially the same as being a godfather to a child.

Moreover, Viscount Grant is very optimistic about Ian's future development. He has already called Ian a master in his letter... Thinking about it carefully, in six or seven years, Ian will be a master, so he should make a decision at this time. As a result, his child will be the disciple of the youngest alchemist master in the empire.

This kind of investment will make you nothing!

In addition, there are many things in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea... not only Shark Shark and Dragon Egg, but also Birch An and Frost Butterfly.

According to what Hua An wrote and complained about some time ago, Frost Butterfly has now become the king of the hot water fairies. He spends his days unblocking the circulation pipes inside the maze, which makes him very unhappy.

Ian felt a little strange when he heard it - helping to organize and clean the circulation pipes inside the maze, isn't this a great thing? When he heard it, he wanted to hug Shuangdie tightly. Such a well-behaved child is really great!

But Hua An's next words immediately made his eyes darken: "Now, Frost Butterfly has begun to entrust the fairy knights, using each pipeline as its territory, and it has begun to expand!"

Good guy, feelings are this goblin king, right? Do you really want to be crowned king and split the earth?

However, just like the master of the maze, who is also the maze manager (even responsible for cleaning the toilet), this Goblin King is essentially no different from the 'maze pipe manager'.

According to Hua An's words, Frost Butterfly just assigned the work of cleaning the pipes and daily maintenance, and appointed other fairies who were awakened to wisdom as knights, using this name to restrain the free fairies so that they can Work happily.

This was a quite smart move, and there was no doubt that the wisdom provided by Ian had an effect. Hua An complained mainly because Shuangdie didn't let her play with her, because she was too strong and could not be the emperor.

The tidying up of the goblin lair makes people happy and dark at the same time. God knows what kind of work they can do, but in general, it is like what Qing Chao often said.

——It’s all good things!

And just as Ian was on his way to where the good stuff happened.

Port Harrison, Viscount House.

Viscount Grant was having a drink with Elder Puder in the study.

"Already on the way."

Elder Puder picked up a glass of Canaan Moore's fruit wine and drank it in one sip. The light orange liquid emitted a rich aroma, filling the whole study with a warm and fuzzy atmosphere.

Putting down the wine glass, the old man with a faint red nose sighed: "To be honest, it really feels like a dream. In just one year, the family has been revived? I never thought of such a thing in my wildest dreams."

"You are just idle, you haven't read enough books~"

The Viscount obviously drank too much or even got drunk - as an ascendant, of course he could not get drunk, but as long as he wanted to get drunk, he could do it without drinking.

There is no doubt that now is the time to get drunk. Viscount Grant, who has encountered so much good news one after another, will naturally get drunk: "Those knight novels~ don't say one year! Three months can revive the family!"

"Our Ian...will he be inferior to the characters in those novels? Far beyond that, for sure!"

"You'd better wake up."

Elder Puder shook his head and said: "Don't confuse fiction with reality. I just feel that the mountain that originally shrouded the family's head has completely melted away... This is certainly due to Ian's actions, but I'm afraid it's also Because the higher ups no longer care about it.”

"yes."

The Viscount's expression returned to normal. He turned his head and looked at the location of the Imperial Capital on the map on the side of the study: "In the past few years, I have received documents from the Nobles' Hall of the Imperial Capital for the first time in a long time... although it is just the most ordinary document. Ratings are given back, but neither my father nor I have received these things over the past few decades that represent 'imperial concern'."

"The status of Nanling is gradually normalizing. There must be Marquis Barton's efforts behind this, but I'm afraid it is also proof that the one at the top has decided to take a new step."

At this point, it is difficult to continue talking.

After all, both Elder Puder and Viscount Grant were, to put it bluntly, victims of the Dark Moon Rebellion and the previous political changes in the empire... But if they were to insult the late emperor in private, or speak ill of the current emperor's defenders, that would be a waste. Don’t want to or don’t dare.

But now, the Cejalrovo family has regained its reputation, the Silver Peak family has regained its foundation, and the Grant family has once again entered the imperial capital's sight. In addition, his child is about to be born. Of course, the Viscount is not willing to continue this somewhat unlucky topic. .

Pity.

Thinking of this, the Viscount couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sighed: "Such good news... but I can't find many people to share it with."

In addition to being happy, he was actually quite melancholy in his heart, but he couldn't show it to the outside world, so he drank to drown his sorrows: "Hey, Patrick, you idiot."

It is certainly unrealistic to say that Viscount Grant did not have knots in his heart because of Patrick's death, but Patrick himself had such complicated and relieved emotions towards Isengard, and he, as an outsider, could not replace his friend and treat him as a real person. Kill your nephew who really wants to help, right?

The confusion of the older generation will be taken to the grave by the older generation.

The Viscount didn't know that Ian knew more about Patrick than he did.

"Speaking of this."

Putting down the wine glass, the sober Viscount looked at Elder Puder: "I heard that Ian even has the ability to develop his own armor in the imperial capital? The letter he wrote to me even said that he could help me try to repair the etheric weapons. …”

"yes."

The old man touched his beard and recalled the news from the imperial capital. He couldn't help but nod appreciatively: "It is said that the Ellen family has put in a lot of effort, plus the investment from the second prince and Marquis Barton to achieve results. Yes, but Ian did show amazing talent."

"Look at young man, look at you!"

Viscount Grant directly raised his glass and mocked: "It took me more than ten years to repair an etheric weapon. I only repaired the transmission system and outer armor. How many months did it take? The new armor was built!"

"What words!"

Elder Pude's eyes widened. He also raised his glasses, drank the wine in the glass, and then sneered: "To put it bluntly, didn't I teach you? You don't know the secrets passed down from your family, and in the end you still can't. Do you want to rely on our Yinfeng family members?"

"Hahaha."

The Viscount was not annoyed after being choked, but continued to praise himself and Elder Puder: "Anyway, it's all a good thing!"

…

Not only Elder Puder and Viscount Grant knew about Ian's return.

Bishop Baiwu also received the news immediately.

"Huijian and Redemption are on a mission, while Yingguang and Red Blade are still undergoing training in the Holy Mountain. The team that usually observes Ian has been unable to go out for a while, but he returned to Harrison Port on his own."

The old bishop was in his office, staring at the message on the crystal board: "This may be an omen... No matter what, we Huaiguang have done everything we can."

He turned his head and looked at the report on the other side, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "Elan's training is very smooth, and his meditation ability is far beyond expectations - is it the change brought about by Ian, or does he already have potential?"

"Both brothers actually have such high talents. Perhaps they can be regarded as some kind of 'twins'..."

Bishop Huaiguang was silent for a while. But in the end, he shook his head: "This is not something I can decide."

Thinking this, a white halo lit up in his eyes: "These news... need to wait for 'We Huaiguang' to make a decision."

…

Whether it is Ian's relatives, people from the White Nation, or people in Harrison Port who still remember the young appraiser, most of them know through various channels that the young genius they are familiar with has now become a The lord of the land is about to come back to visit his former lord superior and return to his former hometown.

Some are happy, some are rejoicing, and almost no one is sad - Ian? That child has been well-behaved and lovable since he was a child. When he grew up, he became even more intelligent and capable, and helped us solve a lot of troubles...

Now he is going back to his hometown and bringing a big gift to everyone. Who would be sad about this?

Normal people would definitely not do it, at least normal Imperial people would not.

But it’s hard to tell for foreigners.

"This is the best opportunity to assassinate the Lord Xia Hui!"

Harrison Port, outside the port, inside an oyster farm, in a dark and narrow room.

Several dark shadows were hidden in it, and they said in a cold voice: "The real dragon stays in the territory, accompanied by only a second-level guard... This is the best time!"

However, what is different from what many people imagine is that the accent of the person who said this is not the Feiyandi thugs that people in Nanling are very familiar with, but Canaan Moore.

Not only that, the auras of the people gathered here, although most of them are very different, have one characteristic that is very similar.

That is ‘related to dragons’.

These are clearly a group of members of the 'Dragon Worship Cult'!

Today's update is broken, and there is another update from a league leader, waiting for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! Anyway, there will definitely be additional updates, just wait!
