Viscount Grant knew that Ian was the real master of the maze, and the steel-armored shark in the sea was just Ian's animal companion.

In recent times, sharks have been colliding with ships crazily, preventing Nauman City's exploration team from inspecting the maze. This has indeed provided Harrison Port with a lot of time, and has also attracted many people who want to come and explore the Great Maze of the South China Sea. Risk-takers choose to act with caution.

This is a good thing - obviously as a local lord, Viscount Grant knows almost nothing about the Great Labyrinth, and if he wants to make money from the Labyrinth, he must master more information.

Hua An and Shuang Die, who came on behalf of Ian, cooperated with him.

As a local lord, Viscount Grant provided all conveniences for Shuangdie and Hua An's operations, and even supplemented the operation funds for Hua An on behalf of Paradise Township, which moved Miss Goblin extremely.

In return, the goblin team representing Ian provided the Viscount with all the maps of the 'usual area' of the South China Sea Labyrinth.

This general area refers to other places that do not involve the core ecosystem of the South China Sea Labyrinth and the important areas of the Sequoia Base. There are also a large number of Warcraft lairs marked in it, which makes Viscount Grant very satisfied.

Now that we have the map, the next step is to relax control and let adventurers go in to check for omissions and destroy the monsters.

In the continent of Terra, due to various technologies and the legacy from before the Skyfall, there will be a lot of "surplus population and surplus force" in human society. Most of these people come from retired soldiers after the war and declining Ascended families. Everyday They are not needed sometimes, but at critical moments, these forces will bring considerable assistance to human society.

Whether it is resisting natural disasters, assisting disaster victims in relocating, or hunting monsters and exploring new territories, these are tasks that are difficult to mobilize for conventional troops.

Not to mention exploring mazes. If soldiers with regular personnel are sent to carry out exploration missions, regardless of the issue of casualty pensions, in many cases some small and medium-sized mazes have no value at all.

And this ambiguous area is where adventurers take action.

Although the value of the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea is enough for the empire to dispatch a professional exploration team, this place is too far and remote, and the local forces in Port Harrison cannot fully grasp it. Therefore, in order to develop the labyrinth as quickly as possible, Resources, the participation of free adventurers is a must.

Around this summer, the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea will be relaxed and many adventurers will be welcome to explore.

And Frost Butterfly is preparing for this.

"Father said it - they can all take away the surface heritage of pre-era civilization. Those automatic sweeping robots, smart trolleys, and kinetic weapons of pre-era civilization are all valuable but not of much value. We need Give it a little sweetness to attract as many people as possible.”

Frost Butterfly recalled the action plan that Ian taught him, and his will became smoother during the telepathic call: "What we have to do is not only guide these adventurers to obtain treasures, but also let them use force to control the proliferation of monsters in the labyrinth. Case!"

The Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea has now been fully activated and has become the core of the natural psychic field in the surrounding sea areas. The number of magical beasts is increasing almost every day.

Now, Shark Shark can still rely on the power of the second-level steel-armored shark to control some monsters from acting carelessly. But when a new second-level monster is born in a few months or a year or two, things will be different. It's more troublesome.

This kind of out-of-control monster not only poses a threat to people, but also destroys some precious historical relics and information in the maze, which is not allowed by Ian.

Therefore, instead of letting these monsters grow wildly, it is better to let adventurers destroy them and maintain the basic ecology!

This is what the hot water fairies have to do - when the adventurers don't know where to go, they use various prompts and movements (such as throwing stones, spitting water and making loud noises) to guide the adventurers to the place where the treasure is. Next to the monster's lair, let these outsiders help the maze master (and cleaner) clean up the garbage in the maze.

"You too, Shark Shark, you can't collide with ships these days!"

After mentioning the hot water fairies, Shuangdie also reminded the most important general: "This is what my father said! He said that you have done a good job, but you can't hit everyone next...those people are Our helper is also our source of wealth!”

"After some time, Xia Hui Ling's alchemy pharmacy will open a small sea shop around O'Dell Reef... specifically to provide pharmaceutical services to these maze adventurers!"

"Oh..." (slouching...)

Shark Shark, who had no ship to hit, couldn't get excited, but Frost Butterfly, or in other words, Ian behind Frost Butterfly, had already anticipated this, so he added: "But next! Shark Shark, you also want to I’m starting to get used to controlling the crystal dragon clone!”

"It's okay. When the crystal dragon clone grows up, you can use the body of the crystal dragon to crash ships in other sea areas!"

"Oh!" (Full of energy!)

Just when Frost Butterfly successfully grasped the situation and played with all the hot water fairies and sharks in its palm.

Ian stood aside invisibly, holding a sea urchin-shaped hot water fairy (the spines are soft) in his hand. He looked at this scene with relief: "Both the frost butterfly and the shark have made progress. It's really good."

I have to say, at first Ian heard Shark say, ‘The Hot Water Goblin looks delicious! ’ I was still a little strange in my heart, thinking that goblins are made entirely of inorganic matter, how could they look so delicious? Unexpectedly, each of them was half seafood, which was indeed delicious.

And I don’t know why, these hot water fairy-like seafood are very plump and soft to the touch, which really makes people want to knead them again and again.

Of course, you can't rub it for too long. When the sea urchin fairy in Ian's hand was turned into a whirlpool by Rua's eyes, the young man let it go with some reluctance - you should play with stress relief balls in moderation, otherwise The decompression ball itself is stressful.

To be honest, Frost Butterflies and Hot Water Fairies are much more capable than Ian imagined. He originally thought that he would need to come to the maze from time to time to supervise, or use the authority of the maze to possess Shark to inspect, but now it seems Come on, they can totally handle it.

As expected of a fairy, she looks like she is fooling around, but she is actually working hard.

But on the other hand, when the goblin is working seriously...could he be fooling around?

This is the unsolved mystery.

After the big banquet was over, all the hot water fairies left the cabins full of energy and went to the major waterways where they were assigned to clean up, and Ian showed up at this time.

"Ian, are you here?" "Father--"

Hua An and Shuang Die came forward happily. The former knew that Ian was hiding aside, while the latter thought that Ian would come just at this time: "There was a big banquet just now, Shuang Die is so handsome!"

"Yes, very handsome! My dashing little fairy."

Ian patted the ice fairy's little head with his finger, and then asked about Frost Butterfly's recent situation and whether he needed any sublimation materials to update his body. After getting some requirements, Ian nodded: " No problem, I’ll send someone to deliver all the materials next time.”

Then, the young man turned his head and looked at the black-haired elf lady: "Miss Hua An, what do you need..."

"No, no, no, they will give it to me in Fairy Country!"

Hua An shook the parasol in his hand and declined Ian's kindness: "And the construction here in the big maze is so good. Bo Dai, who came to inspect it, gave me an excellent rating! Now I can go back to Paradise to get the bonus!"

When he said this, Hua An looked happy, his whole body was swaying in the sea water, and he seemed to be trapped in a beautiful fantasy.

"That's it." Ian was not surprised. He nodded: "Then when will you return to Paradise?"

"Probably this is the time."

Hua An thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Next, my teacher, Mentor Gan Song, will come to Nanling to check the construction status of the new goblin nest here on my behalf. At that time, she will also register the frost butterflies. In our lineage of fairies...she will help me take care of this place, and she should also be able to teach Frost Butterfly."

"This is the best!" Ian also has a deep memory of Hua An's mentor, the white-haired elf lady... The other party's mind light body can actually guide Ian's mind light body to spontaneously appear, which is equivalent to saying that it can help The sublime who is stuck at the peak of the second energy level breaks through to the third energy level. As a teacher, such a fairy is undoubtedly the highest level.

Although there is no funding, all the fairies I have met will recognize her professional level when talking about Instructor Gan Song!

"But wouldn't Frost Butterfly be too busy?"

Hua An stretched out her hand and touched Shuangdie's little face. She was a little unsure: "I think having a mentor to teach is good for growth, but Shuangdie is only one year old... A happy childhood is quite important for a fairy. Necessary!"

"Yeah...too."

Ian had never raised a child, so he also pondered, and simply put the little elf on his shoulder: "Frost Butterfly, what are your plans? Do you want to take a break and play, or..."

"Huh?"

Shuangdie's big eyes were full of doubts. She looked around and saw that there were still many hot water fairies that had not set off, so she asked doubtfully: "Father, haven't I been playing all the time?"

"Recently, there is a banquet held every few days. Shuangdie is very happy!"

"...That's it." Ian and Hua An nodded in unison. Indeed, now Shuangdie is basically the king of children. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is just playing.

It seems that there is no need to worry about this aspect.

After solving the matters related to the Great Maze of the South China Sea and goblins, Ian really has nothing to do around Harrison Port.

After Elan awakened his spiritual power, he asked Elan to try to possess the small crystal dragon for the second time. The result confirmed Ian's guess: Elan possessed by the small crystal dragon can also use reading and writing abilities, proving that Elan can also read and write. En Neng's use of psychic powers using the body of a small crystal dragon is not an isolated case.

Moreover, because of his ability to read and write, Elan can also communicate with the pirate captain Andor.

Although the small crystal dragon cannot move frequently because it needs a long period of rest to grow, Ian believes that as long as it is possessed multiple times, both Shark and Elan can learn some of the innate source qualities of the small crystal dragon.

And Qingtong will occasionally 'take the call' on his own, controlling the crystal dragon clone and operating on the other side of the world - when the researchers at the Atlan breeding ground want to check the crystal dragon clone, it will also take the call. Use your own authentic crystal dragon actions to prove that your clone is healthy and normal.

As for why Qingtong doesn't use her own body, but instead controls the clone... the answer is very simple.

Because the resources that the empire can provide to the crystal dragon are temporarily more than those in the Great Maze of the South China Sea. As a result, its clone will grow faster than the main body, and will also encounter some situations in advance that the main body cannot encounter. The advancement of Qingtong's own body provides experience.

If Ian relies on the prophet to make trial and error, then Qingtong uses his own clone to find possibilities on the road to growth!

After knowing this, Ian also agreed very much with Qingtong's idea - it was indeed the crystal dragon he hatched, using the empire's resources to fatten himself up, and his proficiency was almost as good as his!

Ian even taught Qingtong a few tricks, such as pretending that he had a loss of appetite and couldn't eat, so that the breeding ground would become nervous and give it more precious ingredients...

Occasionally, if you behave better, show a human-friendly personality, and act coquettishly towards researchers, you will get better treatment.

And there's more...

After hearing this, there was great confusion in Qingtong's small eyes - it couldn't understand at all, how did Ian, a human, learn these techniques?

And Ian's answer is: watch more cats.

A few more days passed.

After Viscount Grant took care of little Kermit and registered Elan on the Empire's list of psykers, Ian also ended all his work in Harrison Port and prepared to return to Xia Hui.

After obtaining the secret of the Glory of Steel, he could not wait to perfect the 'Lord of Steel'.
