Chapter 6 Horizons

In the dimly lit room, the glow of the fluorescent oil lamp outlined the outline of the room, and the white-haired boy gasped tiredly.

On the long table wrapped in oil canvas, there was not much blood flowing, because the fatal wound of the corpse was not large, and there was still sleep powder as a tranquilizer before death to constrict blood vessels.

Fortunately, it is also thanks to the calmness of the sleeping powder, otherwise, Orsanna struggled desperately and howled before dying, and maybe he would break free from the restraints and let the neighbors around him hear...... That's too bad.

Now, though, Osena is dead. No one can be cut open and suffocated for ten minutes and still alive.

At least Orssena can't.

"Bodies cannot be left at home...... But we'll talk about that later. ”

Staring at the other party's corpse, Ian shook his head, deciding to bother to pay any more attention to how hideous the other party's expression was before death.

Scum, beasts, deserves the end of scum, beasts.

Rather than caring about a long-overdue pedochochal mushroom-sucking pervert, he felt that it was better to think about the nature of his abilities.

At this moment, Ian already had some understanding of the effect of the psionic ability that he had named 'Foresight'.

- When he opens the Foresight Horizon, he consumes a portion of his physical strength, and blood rushes towards his head.

— and at the same time, everything in his field of vision would be shrouded in a mist of various colors.

Ordinary wooden tables, chairs, ropes and other things are filled with white, gray, and even translucent mist, which does not interfere with vision and can be easily ignored.

However, if blue appears in the field of vision, it means that there is a rather unusual object in that area, with strange effects.

Blue represents something 'extraordinary'.

To put it simply, it is the [rarity] of rarity.

Supor Sleep Powder is one, and it is currently the only one.

The effect of sleep powder is obvious, it can quickly make people who have no relevant resistance fall asleep for a period of time, even if it is taken as often as Orsna, causing the body to become resistant, it is nothing more than waking up early, and it is time to sleep or sleep.

This is the effect of the Foresight that can spot the 'extraordinary'.

As for the future, will there be [Very Rare], [Rare and Extraordinary], [Rare] and [Ha! Legend! This grade ......

Then it depends on whether you are lucky in the future and whether you can meet that kind of rare good thing.

"It's not that hard."

Ian opened up his thoughts, and he carefully pondered: "Many places around Harrison Port have not been explored, and there are still many rare medicinal materials and materials left in the jungle and deep mountains, which is why there are still many medicine pickers in the port. ”

The Supor sleeping flower, as well as the kind of black mushroom that my uncle smoked, are all special herbs and materials of this kind, and only a few of them need to be collected to sell them to the city hall and the chamber of commerce in exchange for a lot of money.

However, he didn't need to be like those old medicine pickers, who could only rely on experience to try his luck.

Ian only needs to open his eyes from time to time and take a look at the 'Foresight' to unearth a lot of wealth!

And, it's not just that.

This is just part of the ability of 'Predictive Horizons'!

If I had to find an allusion, Ian felt that his spiritual energy had something to do with 'hope'.

After all, this psionic energy can not only detect the rarity of the object itself, but also observe the future.

Predicting the future is the true core of this psychic power.

With a thought in his mind, Ian went to the room where his brother was - Elan had slept peacefully because he had eaten the wheat porridge soaked with sleep powder, and it was estimated that it would take a while to wake up.

Opening the preview perspective, Ian couldn't help but look at it with palpitations, and said in his heart: "Sure enough." ”

The black-red dead air was gone, leaving only a faint wisp of blood...... Does this mean that there is still danger, but it is no longer a mortal crisis? ”

The death of his uncle Orsanna has made the crisis for Ian and Ellan disappear, but the matter is far from over.

First of all, Orsanna's death, or disappearance, will sooner or later be discovered by the people of Port Harrison and the White People.

While it's unlikely that anyone will suspect an eight-year-old, Ian could blame his uncle's disappearance on his own trespassing into the redwoods to trade black mushrooms with the natives.

After all, there are many hunters who are missing in the forest, let alone a cripple?

Fellows who vaguely know this will not pursue it more.

But that's not insurance.

After all, Ian and Elan are still children, and Orsnah is their last blood relative, without blood protection, they can only be other people's adopted sons or apprentices in this rural place, and the best result is to send them to the Huaiguang Church to help the priest, but others may not accept it.

You must know that in Harrison Port, the southernmost part of the continent, the lord of the Huaiguang Church occasionally has to work in the fields and go out to sea to fish.

Taking care of a child, no one wants to.

This is a long-term crisis, and the short-term crisis is indigenous.

Osenna's death does not mean that the deal he intends to make is over, and the natives who are in dire need of pure sacrificial sacrifices have not been in the harbor, they have long known Osenna's address, and it is not a big deal to forcibly take the Ian brothers away.

"I can't see my own fortune, and I understand very well that in most legends, prophecy and divination cannot predict your future."

Ian stretched out his hand and pinched his brother's little fat face, he thought for a moment and whispered to himself, "But I can see Elan's fortune." ”

"Elan is just a little over a year old, I am his brother, our fate is shared, I am going to die, and he will not live...... Conversely, even if the crisis that can endanger my brother is not so terrible to me, it certainly needs to be cautious. ”

Thinking of this, Ian's eyes gradually lit up, and he had already figured it out: "So. ”

"As long as I observe Elan's future fate and see how good or bad his fortune is, I can see my own future fortune from the side!"

Ian rubbed Elan's face excitedly, the little fleshy face of the white-haired toddler felt very good: "I can't see myself, but I can watch my brother's!" ”

"Who is with whom we two brothers! You're going to die! ”

The white-haired child cowered under the quilt was still smashing his mouth in his sleep, making a cute muttering sound, unaware that he had been used by his brother as a tool to predict the future, a human flesh comparator.

Of course, it's not just that.

The reason Ian is determined to protect Elan is not just because of ability.

At the end of the day, Elam was his only remaining blood relative in this world, his mother was sick and weak, and not long after giving birth to Elam, she died because of the overwork of taking care of two children alone after her stepfather left.

All along, it was Ian who told stories and sang lullabies to Elan, and Elan was closest to his brother.

Elam has a quarter of elven blood, and with the White Folk half-blood, there is theoretically a lot of potential for awakening psionic powers, but in practice it is not, which is why the half-elf stepfather from Canaan Moore left directly.

The white-haired toddler has pointed ears, which is indeed a little cute.

Looking at Elan's sleeping face, the boy let out a breath and calmed down slightly.

Ian stretched out his hand, leaned down, and pinched the tip of the other's ear, and the slight anger in his brow from killing Orsena dissipated. The boy looked at his younger brother gently: "Even if you are really stupid, I will take care of you when you grow up...... Anyway, you are also my only relative in this world. ”

"It's just that in order to better deal with the crisis of this unknown world, I have to make good use of every detail of my ability to find a chance in this bad start."

Whispering to himself, Ian got up and left his brother's room.

As he passed by the long table, he wiped the bloody scabs off his hands with his uncle's clothes.

Coming to the window, Ian cautiously looked around the window.

For a moment, he seemed to see a golden mist, but the next, the light vanished.

"What's that?"

Ian rubbed his eyes a little confused, and finally determined that it was the illusion caused by the flickering lights of the street headlights.

The streets of this coastal city are silent in the middle of the night, except for the dim street lamps around the city center, which are called ever-bright lamps fueled by oil extracted from fluorescent algae, but at most they only shine for about a month.

Forcibly lit up, it will only be like now, half burning and half extinguishing, bright and indefinite.

Once he was sure that no one was there, Ian closed the curtain again.

His heart was full of emotion.

Port Harrison, mainland Terra.

Although it looks very old feudal.

But Ian knew that on the surface, this was at best a different world on the eve of the industrial age...... It's completely different from the earth in the previous life.

Not only psionic powers, but also sublimators and Supor sleep powder and other extraordinary things.

"Sword and sorcery? Psionic and miraculous? ”

Ian stared out the window at the world, and the feeling that everything was unknown was exciting: "It's funny, Terra. ”

Praise him, he was such a character in his previous life.

Ian's pursuit is such a feeling, such a future.

That's why he longed to go to the sea of stars, to that dark and unknowable distance.

Ordinary people fear the silence and darkness, but for Ian, turning the dark unknown into a known frontier and satisfying his curiosity is the meaning of life.

Another world? Psionic powers, sleeping powder, and all sorts of other things that are unheard of and unseen?

Couldn't be better!

Quickly tied the corpse with a canvas, Ian was 100% sure that the cruel and vicious uncle had died very completely, even if there was necromancy in this world, the corpse would be half of the neck, and there was nothing to fear.

"I'll have to dispose of my uncle's body tonight."

In the swaying halo of the living room, Ian let out a long breath, feeling the hunger in his stomach almost painful, and in the soothing period after the excessive tension, the feeling of weakness gradually came to his limbs: "But now. ”

The boy, who had just disposed of the body, came to the right conclusion.

"Gotta eat first."
