High Above

Master Gosei stood upright. After hearing Ian's words, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he forced himself to hold it back.

This old man is actually unexpectedly tall and is the burliest among all the people present. Master Gosei has made his body extremely strong through transformation surgery. Even at the second energy level, he is considered powerful. This is why he can The reason why he could still recover quickly after suffering many serious injuries in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea - if he hadn't found the point where his research overlapped with his dream, and hadn't found a way to transform the world, he might have advanced to the third level long ago. .

Yes. There are very few alchemist masters who can become third-level beings because they are too smart and arrogant. Each alchemist master has knowledge far beyond ordinary people and has a deeper understanding of the world - but it is like the most People who understand society are more aware of the difficulty of changing the world. The knowledge of the masters makes their dreams too lofty and difficult to match the power they possess.

It's like a scholar who has a lot of knowledge thinks he can transform a country, but when he actually starts to do it, he has difficulty even managing a small town; it's like he invented an epoch-making creation, but because of the market, the cost-effectiveness For various reasons, the original backward creation could not be replaced and had to be hidden in the snow to wait for the appropriate era.

Because the masters have too strong wisdom, it is difficult for them to unite their souls with their beliefs, and their dreams and power.

Only after they truly experience the stagnation and slowness of the world and create huge changes in such a world can their dreams and beliefs be condensed.

Gosei Abed knew very well that Ian was just such a researcher. He knew very well that Ian's strength had actually reached the third level.

This means that before he knew it, the young scholar had already conducted research that could change the world, and had even turned the world-changing results into reality and begun to practice them.

so……

He didn't want Ian to take any chances.

"You are true hope."

After taking two deep breaths, Master Gosei suppressed the impulse in his heart. He said slowly: "There are many teams coming to explore the Alien Research Institute this time, and many powerful fourth-level people will be guarding the side."

"Ian, once you use the identity of Rivendell, the exploration teams from other countries may not be able to react for a while, but His Highness Carlos will definitely understand your value as soon as possible - he will, as quickly as possible, You will be suppressed at an absolutely irresistible speed and captured back to the empire."

"This is really too dangerous. It's impossible to hide it from them. Every team will report information in real time to facilitate the rescue... or attack!"

"I know that."

Ian nodded calmly. He looked up at Master Gosei's serious face with a smile, and said relaxedly: "But in fact, the situation inside the Alien Research Institute is definitely beyond your imagination. It may even be impossible to communicate in real time at all?"

With that said, Ian took out the transmitter that Speaker Yapheda gave him and displayed it in front of everyone.

The young man said calmly: "Master, you should be able to see how strong a penetrating signal this transmitter can emit, right? This is the basis of the transmission energy level of the Xenogeneic Research Institute, and it can only carry out extremely single or even 'weak' signals. Tip... if there is a need to use special tools to send messages, it means that there are obstacles that definitely require violent breakthroughs."

"I don't think you need to worry too much about this aspect. The underground ruins are isolated ruins. Otherwise, Canaan Moore would not have discovered the ruins under Half Moon Lake recently."

——It’s even possible that Half Moon Lake is a ‘man-made ruin’ caused by the ruins sinking into the ground? Or maybe it encountered other attacks, such as ancient monsters, alien fire seeds, etc.

Ian did not say this conjecture, but if such a large inland freshwater lake was naturally formed, Ian would not believe it.

After calming down, Ian continued to explain to Master Gosei: "And, in the final analysis, there is something in the Alien Research Institute that I am bound to get."

——The other part of the silver chip, the other half of the Star God's gift.

In addition, there are the echoes of the Forerunners, the database of the civilization of the previous era, the secret communication records of the exchanges between the Forerunners and even the civilization of the previous era and the star god civilization of the ancestor true dragon ruins...

He must get these things no matter what.

"...Is this so?"

Master Gosei was silent for a while. He can understand Ian's thoughts. The other party is a prophet. Since he makes a dangerous choice, it must be because the choice other than this choice is more dangerous... Ian's judgment must be the safest choice under the premise that he can achieve his goal. .

Unless, he wants to prevent Ian from achieving his goal. But this is impossible.

Everyone watched Ian communicate with Master Gosei. They watched the two people's mouths open and close, but remained silent and did not join in at will.

yes. With the power of everyone present, it was easy to use lip reading to analyze what Ian and the master said. However, they did not deliberately analyze the information exchanged between the two, because some things were not good to know. The reason why Master Gosei The use of the Ring of Silence takes this into consideration.

Not to mention, if Ian feels the need, he will definitely say it - even the prophet said it, let alone other things?

And... there is a deeper reason.

Isengard and Master Gosei, Anfa and Xio, they are not from the same camp. They only came together because of Ian and became familiar with each other because of this banquet - what made them cooperate with each other was simply because they both trusted and valued Ian.

"You have to compete, and there is a high possibility that you have to compete with other people - in this case, using Ian's identity is an absolute mistake, and Mahdi can divert attention and ensure the safety of Ian's identity."

At this moment, the old man nodded slowly: "I understand, I will cooperate with you."

Ian also bowed deeply: "Thank you for your understanding, Master."

"But Ian."

Master Gosei put his hand on the Silence Ring. Before canceling, he still said earnestly: "Even if you are a prophet and can see all the signs, you must remember it and protect yourself."

"You have already embarked on the road to changing the world, embarking on the dream that I have not completed so far. Don't stop halfway."

"I will."

Ian said softly: "I will keep it in mind - the reason why the road is the road and the way is the way is because more than one person can walk on it, and it is definitely not built for myself alone. My progress is not just for myself. , but all those who support me and believe in me.”

"I am the one who guides the way forward, the one who opens new paths."

At this moment, a pale blue star crown appeared vaguely above Ian's head.

The Heart Light Body [Guiding Star] appeared slightly, and it disappeared in a flash, but its unique and extremely obvious presence was like the sun suddenly penetrating through the gaps between clouds, and was keenly felt by everyone.

Then, great surprise!

"Heart Light Body!"

Isengard immediately noticed this strange presence. He stood up suddenly and stared intently at Ian's forehead, where there were still some blue psychic stars shining: "It is still very complete. level!"

——Stronger than my mind, light, and body? !

Anfa's reaction was not much better. Although she did not stand up directly, she put her hands on the tablecloth and leaned forward, almost overturning the wine glass in front of her.

The shock in the elf girl's heart is hard to describe to others. Her body has reached the third energy level. It is a miracle created by the combination of dragon soul and dragon blood and the inheritance of the Jin Deng family. Although her belief is firm, the dream in her heart still remains. It was blurry, so her mental light body was still a little vague, and she needed to be mentally prepared. She could only use it after holding her breath for a while. She couldn't use it like Ian did just now, and she couldn't use it as she pleased.

As for Xiou, she already knew this, but she was still a little surprised: "Wow, it's only been a few months, how come Ian has improved so fast?"

But other than that, she didn't think about anything else and continued to eat with her head down.

Master Grave?

Master Grave had only watched Ian kill the spies of the Three Kingdoms for a week, and he was just curious about Ian's mind-light body ability.

"you……"

The same was true for Master Gosei. After the initial brief shock and astonishment, he quickly discovered that Ian's mental light body did not seem to be some kind of direct attack mental light body for combat - but he was not disappointed by this. Rather, he was full of expectations: "It's so smooth... As expected, Ian, you are worthy of being the successor of those two adults!"

Taking a deep breath, Master Gosei canceled his ring of silence.

He turned sideways and said to Ian and everyone present: "In two days, the Exotic Research Institute's exploration team will gather for the first time and head to Half Moon Lake."

"Isengard and I will initially move with the team of the Setal Empire, but later we will separate and move with you. His Highness Carlos agreed to this, but only if he wants to meet Ian - Ian, I will take you to meet His Highness tomorrow. Miss Anfa, Your Highness Carlos has entrusted me to send you the greetings of the Empire. We believe that the cooperation between the Nanling Dragon Worship Cult and the Canaan Moorish Dragon Worship Cult is the link between the Empire and Canaan. A microcosm of Moore’s friendly environment.”

"nature."

What he said now was official talk, and Anfa also restrained his previous gaffe a little, and replied seriously: "The friendship between the two countries is everlasting, and the friendship between the Jin Deng family is even more unbreakable."

The dinner is over.

The specific cooperation matters and subsequent cooperation plans will not be decided until Ian meets with the eldest prince Carlos tomorrow. Master Gosei left Isengard at the Jindeng family mansion and returned to the capital of the world tree. Imperial embassy.

Anfa in the long skirt took Isengard to his room, and Ian gave him a look, indicating that he would talk to him later.

As for now, Ian and Tuxedo Anfa came to the hall of Jindeng Mansion.

"What happened when the bloodline collapsed?"

Ian asked this question without any tact. He knew that there was no point in beating around the bush on this kind of issue: "Xio's problem must be more serious than yours, otherwise, you would definitely not be procrastinating. You won’t go to the Holy Mountain to solve the problem in person - but your problem must not be serious, otherwise, the other ten blood kings will not use this problem to attack you."

"You are unable to fuse dragon blood and elf blood, will it cause distortion?"

——Like the reason why human beings were deformed in the first place?

Ian's question was clear and simple. Anfa silently lifted his hair, adjusted his hairstyle, and then said calmly: "It's actually a very simple thing... I have to decide within five years whether I want to be a person with a dragon." The elves inherited from the blood should still be regarded as true dragons who were once elves."

"The former is meaningless. There are countless elves with true dragon blood, and they cannot meet Mother's expectations at all... And the latter is not difficult. If I want to become a true dragon, I can become a true dragon."

"But, Ian."

Anfa raised his head and looked at the young man.

The elf's golden eyes were bright and clear, like shining gems. She asked softly: "Who is the leader between an individual and a world?"

"That's the biggest problem I face."

"As for the collapse of the bloodline, it's just that I am in the middle of the situation and need to frequently suppress the bloodline with medicine. The poison of the medicine seeps into the internal organs. It is not a big deal. It is incomparable with Xiou's void poison. I will use my true body to do it in five years when I have time. One visit to the Holy Mountain will probably eradicate it."

"Of course, the poison may also be a way for my mother to gently urge me to make a choice from my heart... After removing the poison, I will have more time to choose, or wait."

"Is this so?"

Ian frowned slightly. If you are not familiar with real dragons, or are people who superficially know real dragons, you will never be able to understand what Anfa is talking about.

But the young man understood in an instant that Anfa's real problem was whether she would be swallowed up by the huge information contained in the true dragon's fire, equivalent to an entire world, after she chose to become a true dragon.

Theoretically, Anfa, who has a dragon soul, does not need to worry about this problem - she can completely withstand the erosion of huge information in the fire, even if she is only half a dragon soul. It is better to say that an ordinary human like Ian can do it. There is no reason to enforce the law.

But it's actually different.

The thinking patterns of most true dragons born from fire are completely in line with that fire civilization. This is why there are always conflicts between true dragons, which is incomprehensible, because it is a conflict between the logics of two self-consistent civilizations. There may even be conflicts between cultural customs.

But Anfa was not shaped by fire from birth... He was still an elf.

Can her elf thinking mode, now called the 'Elf Anfa', be able to cope with the erosion of civilized information in her dragon blood, hold on to herself, and not become another person?

If she accepts it, is this some sort of 'spiritual death'?

After all, the thinking logic has changed, and the thinking mode has also changed. Even if there are still memories of the past, you certainly can't have the same feelings, right?

This is... the real problem facing Anfa.

It's not a bloodline breakdown, but a 'mental breakdown' in a sense.

"Suppose you have a high-level third energy level and a complete heart-light body."

Ian murmured: "Then even if you experience a world being washed away, you will not be changed."

"But the problem is that you are the dragon's blood, you are the real dragon in the future - the information of that world is part of you. If you don't experience its erosion, you will not be able to reach the perfect third energy level and have a complete Heart light body.”

"It's a contradiction."

"yes."

Anfa herself was very calm. She didn't panic at all. She just stared at the toes of her shoes while walking with Ian: "Besides, even if it is really washed away, it may not be a big deal to other people, right?"

"It definitely didn't matter to me at that time. All my mother wanted was whether I could become a real dragon. If I could succeed, my change in thinking would have been expected."

"Others in the Jin Deng family don't care. Instead, they will congratulate me - even Xiou, I'm afraid she will think that I am easier to get along with. I am her kind, right?"

"Even if it's you, Ian."

She turned her head, looked at the young man, and said with bright eyes: "You have dealt with dragons so much, you definitely don't care whether I am an elf Anfa or a real dragon, right?"

——In the final analysis, the only one who is troubled is myself.

"Why are you giving up on yourself? It's not like that." After muttering, Ian shook his head and said: "All real dragons have some mental problems. They are all a bit too extreme. I still care about your mental state."

"and."

After a pause, Ian thought for a moment and said, "I think I may have a solution to your problem."

- Meditation method.

The essence of Anfa's worry now is not about blood or soul, but whether her thinking mode will change - she may even be afraid that she will not be able to understand her past exchanges with friends after transforming into a real dragon queen, and that she will not be able to figure out the elf's safety. In order to understand the meaning of getting along with others, we use the simplest, almost universal, likes and dislikes score to record our communication and favorability with other people.

Because of the mutual achievement of dragon soul and thinking and belief, Anfa cannot become a truly perfect third energy level before becoming a true dragon or returning to a dragon-blood elf. Therefore, he cannot have enough strength to maintain himself. It is like not transforming. The shell can't grow bigger, it's stuck there.

However, it does not mean that only by achieving faith can the strength of the soul be enhanced!

Meditation can also be used to sculpt the soul bit by bit!

Although the strength of the dragon soul is far different from that of ordinary people, and what can be effective on the dragon soul is definitely a higher intensity meditation method, but at least it is a way out.

"I'll find a way."

Ian did not promise anything rashly. He just patted Anfa on the shoulder: "Believe me, I have been studying this aspect recently... But the 'meditation method' will not be clear for a while. I will wait until the end of the alien research." Let’s talk about it after exploring the hospital!”

"Yeah. Haha, Ian, there's no need to be so serious. It's great if you are willing to listen to me."

Anfa couldn't help but laugh. She was just talking about her troubles, but she didn't expect Ian to commit so seriously. It's not that she didn't believe Ian's seriousness, it was just that with the design idea of ​​the Terra Ascendant, she couldn't find it at all. There is no possibility for the other party to help you.

"This is my promise. Rather, only by being able to solve your problem can I prove the success of my research."

Ian did not laugh. He answered seriously: "Believe me, friend, since you are willing to talk to me, then we can work together to solve your troubles - this is a friend, isn't it?"

Anfa was stunned for a moment.

"Actually, it's not necessary." The elf girl's expression became a little complicated, but in the end, she still slightly bent over the boy: "But, thank you, friend."

Anfa still needs to report to his mother. Master Glawei also went back to his room to continue sorting out the information.

But Ian did not go back to his room, but knocked on Isengard's door.

"coming!"

Soon, the blond boy opened the door. He pulled Ian into the room and closed the door carefully.

When Ian was a little confused, Isengard took out a piece of information from his arms and gave it to the white-haired boy.

"This is……"

Ian was a little confused. He came to Isengard originally with the intention of teaching the other party the structure of the meditation method and discussing the details in this regard, but he did not expect that the other party seemed to have something to tell him without telling Master Gosei.

What Isengard said also made Ian look startled: "This is a list of various large-scale studies that my grandfather (Axel the Guardian) has recently conducted, collected by my mother."

"Ian. I actually already know your true identity."

Water-colored eyes and lake-green eyes looked at each other, Isengard smiled slightly and said: "After all, I am not stupid, and I can also investigate some things by myself - so, if you are really my great-grandfather (Inaga II) The heir..."

"Then you can definitely tell how much of my grandfather's research list is from my great-grandfather's research back then!"

It’s still written! Try to update at 8 o'clock tomorrow too!
