Before boarding the Siren, Ian first went to Nauman City and reported his movements and choices to the real aristocratic eldest brother of Nanling, the Marquis Barton.

This is human nature and a sign of etiquette - although Ian has already completed all the procedures for leaving the country through the channels of the Royal Alchemy Society, and Anfa has also given him the green light to apply for relevant entry documents. It can be said that since then Everything from top to bottom.

However, as a noble of Nanling, if Ian wants to leave Nanling, he must say goodbye to Marquis Barton in person, meet him, have a meal together, say goodbye and then leave.

This is not a rule, it is just to give face.

But a young genius like Ian didn't just leave on his own in a young and arrogant way, thinking that his relationship could solve everything. Instead, he came over to have lunch with him, and humbly said that his territory still needs a big brother. Taking care of him, Marquis Barton was naturally very satisfied.

Therefore, he told Ian a rather confidential news.

"The former biological director of the Spirit Academy, Master Grave Feiye, is ready to return to his hometown and contribute to the development of Canaan Moore. To this end, Canaan Moore officials dispatched their diplomatic ship 'Siren', and the passengers on it There are not many, but they are all famous, and Master Gravi is the most prestigious among them."

Marquis Barton stabbed a piece of smoked fish with his own knife, and said calmly: "And the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge doesn't really want him to go back safely."

"Master Gravi is an extremely rare biological alchemy genius in our empire. The 'Permanent Strength Potion' he took the lead in developing is a high-level alchemy potion that can directly enhance a certain physical quality of the sublime. If it is not too expensive to make, and can enhance The upper limit of physical strength is not high, this is probably a huge and epoch-making change."

"Even so, the 'Advanced Soldier Potion' transformed from the permanent strength potion, although the effective time is quite short, can greatly improve anyone's physical fitness in a short period of time. This has become a necessary potion for the elite troops of the empire. It is the second life when you are fighting for your life.”

"If Master Gravey hadn't been old, the Academy of Gnosis would not have been willing to let him return to Canaan Moore anyway."

"But they are still preparing to attack." Ian raised his eyebrows. Not only was he not unfamiliar with this situation, but he was quite familiar with it: "Such a master who can be equivalent to an army, even if his brain is not working well, such a Years of research data must be very precious... Is this what the Lingzhi Academy is going to do?"

"Yes."

Marquis Barton glanced at Ian with admiration. He raised his knife and waved it casually: "The Academy of Spiritual Knowledge will not use drastic measures - although you may not agree with it, the Academy of Spiritual Knowledge will never 'force' a person. People do whatever they want. They will induce, create accidents, pay for their lives, and make people have to follow them... They will not leave 100% clues."

"They will definitely take action this time. Although the Siren is safe, and the captain 'Tidewalker' Elden is a third-level powerhouse, they will definitely be in a hurry when encountering the chaos they have carefully prepared. They got it."

"Ian, this time you were invited by the Ember Lantern Department (the Elf Department where Anfa is located), and you also went to Canaan Moore as a Dragon Worship Cult to participate in the exploration of the great ruins. Give the Gnostic Academy ten thousand courage, they It’s impossible for them to take action against you, so this time is an opportunity.”

"Chance……"

Ian was thoughtful, he also raised his glass and took a sip of grape juice: "You mean..."

"Both the second prince and the eldest prince have sent their own people to Canaan Moore."

Marquis Barton did not answer Ian's question. He said bluntly: "But this time, the eldest prince will personally lead the team, and the second prince needs to be in the west. This is very unfavorable to the second prince, but it is also a trade-off."

"Ian, dancing on two eggs is a very challenging thing. Smart people will appreciate their dexterity, but it is best not to play more... This world is like a game. No matter what, someone will win in the end."

"If you don't want to lose, it's best not to choose. If you have to choose, just choose one side."

"...If this is your suggestion."

Ian was silent for a while, and he said thoughtfully: "Then I agree."

"But I think it might not be that complicated. As long as I serve the Empire, then I can't lose."

"You are smarter than me."

Marquis Barton nodded slightly. He glanced at Ian appreciatively, and then sighed: "Yes, this is also the privilege of a genius like you. By the way, the second prince has something to tell you."

"He said that the results of Awak Ling are out, and if you want it, you can get it now."

The communication with Marquis Barton has always been simple and complicated.

The simplicity is that the Marquis of Barton assumes that Ian can understand all his subtexts, so all the information, advice, thoughts and judgments will be expressed in one conversation, and only half of it will be said every time.

The complication is that this man is really good at riddles and adding information to his words.

To put it simply, Marquis Barton told Ian that there was a group of very important people on the Canaan Moorish ship 'Siren' he was riding this time from the empire to Canaan Moor with him, and among them, there was a man named Gra. Wei's master biological alchemist.

This master alchemist has countless achievements, and he is just on the verge of becoming a master who will change the world... It would be better to say that he already has this achievement, but is suppressed because of his identity as an immigrant elf.

Such an old master wants to return to his roots. Under the background of the current friendship between the Empire and Canaan Moore, neither country can stand in the way.

Of course, the Lingzhi Academy did not dare to take action against such a key figure, but they also did not want their confidential research information to be given to Canaan Moore in vain, so they arranged an accident - no matter what kind of accident it was, the Lingzhi Academy was nothing They are all capable of anything, they are a bunch of unimaginable beasts - and at that time, they will destroy Master Glave's research data.

Even the most powerful master cannot start over from scratch without losing the research data, and with Master Gravet's lifespan, even if he is really a master craftsman and is reborn, he still cannot reproduce the experimental results.

In other words, Lingzhiyuan will definitely succeed.

But Ian had the opportunity to also take advantage of the chaos to try to 'rescue' Master Grave's research data.

Both the eldest prince and the second prince were very interested in the data secretly stored in the Lingzhi Academy.

But here, the Marquis of Barton warns Ian.

He already knew that representatives of the eldest prince came to Xiahui Ling to negotiate part of the cooperation with Ian. He also knew that the development of the Chongling Sect under Ian's command had the tacit approval of the eldest prince and was given the green light all the way in the imperial capital.

Therefore, he warned Ian, who seemed to be under the command of the second prince, not to dance on the tip of a needle and play both sides.

If he is really ready to take action and determine what camp he belongs to, he must choose one.

Wallpaper has never been beneficial.

But Ian doesn't care about this - he doesn't really support anyone, no matter who is on the throne.

In other words, if he really took action and got the information, it would definitely be a copy for each of the eldest prince and the second prince, and he would have to study it himself.

With this kind of attitude, if it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be laughed at, "Who do you think you are? If someone is on the throne, they still need you?" ’.

But he is Ian after all!

No matter whether it is the eldest prince, the second prince, or the eldest princess, who does not need him as a future master or even a grand master?

Therefore, Marquis Barton was also quite emotional - a truly smart person, even if he does not rely on tactics, can live a good life based on his ability... This is invincibility in the true sense.

Just imagine, who would refuse Ian to be on their side? Even if this young man doesn't seem to be so loyal and others give him something to eat, he will come back...but as long as he gives him something to eat, the other person will come back in a fair and just way.

In this case, loyalty is not the most critical thing. The most important thing is actually ability.

As for the final result of the Awak Territory mentioned by the second prince...

In fact, Mikael has figured out the content of the experiments related to the Avak Territory and which part of the psychic heritage the Grand Duke Territory obtained.

He compiled a copy and sent it to Marquis Barton, asking him to ask Ian if he also wanted to know the contents of Inaga's inheritance.

Could Ian still refuse? He must have accepted it!

Moreover, this can be regarded as letting Ian breathe a sigh of relief.

The psychic heritage of the Grand Duke is about spiritual fire and related derivative technologies.

As long as he gets this inheritance, even if he really exposes the artificial souls in the territory, it can be completely explained!

This was indeed a great gift, and Ian thanked Marquis Barton profusely on the spot and praised the second prince for his generosity.

Seeing Ian's happy expression, people like the Marquis of Barton also felt quite happy - it was quite rare for Ian to flatter him from the bottom of his heart, and he felt very accomplished.

So, after lunch, when Ian was about to board the Siren, Barton gave his final message at the door of his office.

"It's actually a good thing that you chose the identity of the Dragon Worship Cult."

Marquis Barton said: "Although the empire has formed an alliance with Canaan Moore, there have always been many forces entangled with each other within the elves. The ten major elves behind the council are also roughly divided into two factions."

"Your friend Anfa, the Emberlight Department behind him, is one of the ten king-blooded tribes of the old Elf Court. He is also a faction in the Elf Council that favors the empire. He is our true ally - you contact An in a private capacity. The law is a good thing, because on the surface, half of the Canaan Moore exploration team is a faction that is more inclined to the Cangtian Royal Court."

"You and the Dragon Worship Cult can explore the ancient ruins from another angle... Compared to the Canaan Moore official exploration team, which will definitely start a civil war in the ruins, the Dragon Worship Cult's team may be safer."

Actually more than that.

Now that Ian has actually boarded the Siren, he feels that there is no need to wait until he enters the ancient ruins of the Alien Research Institute to start internal strife. The civil war within the Elf Council has already started from now on.

Because, the young man had only walked less than five hundred steps on the Siren, and he saw three killers from different forces, a spy from the empire, a trap to lure the monsters closer, and a man who obviously had a very important secret in his heart. The secret master of alchemy.

And...in the cabin, there was a strange golden package faintly shining in the silver light.

"There are so many monsters and monsters on this ship."

Looking at Master Grave's back, Ian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "All parties are intrigues and wary of each other. It seems that they will fight in the next second, but they maintain a delicate balance."

"Now I'm beginning to wonder whether this ship can sail to Canaan Moore."

Recommend a friend's book "Changing the World Starting at Hogwarts"!

Each school is fighting within itself, using dirty tricks in the name of competition.

The wizards are not united, playing foolishly with blood and status.

Denying history, whitewashing cruelty, exaggerating peace, and thinking that we are living in a peaceful and prosperous age.

Therefore, we need a new order.
