The sound of a noisy sea tide came from outside the window.

Because few people cleaned it, the small wooden houses near the sea were full of dust.

But Hilliard and Ian didn't care, they sat cross-legged on the bed, sitting opposite each other.

"How much do you know about the Sublimator?" The old knight asked.

"Just know that there are sublimators." Ian replied dryly, "And psionics." ”

"At least you can spell the words right." Hilliard didn't think Ian would know much, he bowed slightly, "So do you know about aliens and demonic beasts?" ”

"Yes." Ian naturally knew, "I've seen it. ”

How could immigrants living in Nanling not know about alien beasts? Those powerful creatures who were born with psionic energy and roamed the wild wilderness of the mountains are legends in the mouths of all.

It is said that some of the totems worshipped by the natives were powerful monsters that were friendly to humans, and their protection made the imperial army return in vain, forcing them to recognize the autonomy of the natives in the redwood forest.

And strange beasts in the sea are more common.

Ian remembers that when he was four or five years old, he and his mother were in the harbor watching the fishermen join forces to drive away a giant sea serpent.

The blue-black sea serpent was more than thirty meters long, its scales were stronger than steel, and its long tail flicked, and it could even create vortices in the sea to help it devour fish.

Neither harpoons nor crossbows could damage it, and in the end, it was the Viscount's Chamber of Commerce ship that risked sinking and crashed to drive it away.

"All living beings are of the same origin, they are all children of the sun, whether they are plants or animals, monsters or aliens, and even we humans, we all need to bask in the light of the sun, so all living beings are brothers and sisters."

"But as time goes by, everything differentiates and has different talents and abilities."

Hilliard turned his head sideways, the sunlight shining through the curtain and the window seemed quiet, and he reached out and let the sunlight shine on his palm, staining it a layer of gold.

The old knight said calmly: "In ancient mythology, the common ancestor of many intelligent beings such as humans, elves and dwarves received the fruit of wisdom and then possessed wisdom. ”

"And the ancestors of the beasts, those alien demonic beast ancestors with powerful bodies and even all kinds of supernatural spiritual abilities, have obtained the fruit of life, so they have extraordinary power."

Turning around, the knight looked at Ian and said seriously: "Integrating wisdom and the power of life is 'sublimation', and those who are sublimated are all walkers who walk on the path of sublimation, chasing the ultimate promotion. ”

"To put it simply, an ascension is an existence that uses wisdom to make oneself equal to or even surpass the power of alien beasts."

- Mythology? Sun worship. The science of the unexpected.

Ian didn't fail his culture and history lessons, and he was well aware that Hilliard's description was only a small part of the complete mythological system, and that the legacy of the Ascendant was inextricably linked to it.

Sun worship is not uncommon. Rather, in any myth or legend, the position of the sun is quite important.

Moreover, from the perspective of energy transmission, the sun is indeed the source of all living beings, and all living beings are also brothers and sisters under the knees of the sun, a loving father and mother.

As for the key words of wisdom fruit and life fruit, Ian will write it down for the time being and prepare to ask for advice in the future.

Because now, he has another question he wants to ask.

"Teacher."

Ian frowned in confusion, and he asked softly, "How do you unite wisdom and the power of life?" ”

"Eat."

Hilliard put it succinctly: "This is the true meaning of the practice of the ascendant. ”

"The beast itself contains the power of the fruit of life. Through wisdom, refining its elements, extracting its essence, and using alchemy techniques, using the materials of alien beasts to blend into potions and supplements, so that humans can also absorb the power of the fruit of life, and gradually improve their rank on the road of sublimation. ”

"As for the results, Ian, you can touch my arm."

Hilliard raised his hand and showed his arm to Ian: "I am a knight of a certain big man, I used to be a high-level sublimator, but in the past battles, due to the essentia plague poison, almost all of the sublimation organs were destroyed, and even the higher-level sublimation structures such as the 'phase nervous system' built in the body were completely dissolved. ”

"In other words, I'm basically a mortal anymore, and I no longer have the divine power of a high-level sublimator."

"But even so."

Clenching his fists and puffing out his muscles, the old man emphasized at this moment: "The essence of my life has also been transformed, far stronger than ordinary people, and even some low-level sublimators. ”

At this moment, Hilliard's face has returned to its true face at this moment, and it is no longer the appearance of Osenna.

He is not as handsome and handsome as an elf, but he can also be called a good look, the bridge of the man's nose is straight, his long gray-brown hair is slightly curly, and he has a calm and solemn military temperament, and the wrinkles do not make him look too old, but only the majesty of time engraved for the knight.

"Okay, teacher."

Without hesitation, Ian reached out and touched Hilliard's arm.

- He had long wanted to touch it, the body of the sublimator in this world must be extraordinary!

However, it was only when Ian actually touched it that he realized that the 'skin' he had touched only looked like skin.

"This touch ......" the boy's eyes widened.

It was layer after layer of fine smooth scales superimposed on top of each other, layers of crystalline crystalline carapace, strong and flexible, no matter whether it was water or fire, it seemed difficult to invade, it could be said to be a layer of chain mail that could be carried around.

And under the skin, it is not flesh and blood in the traditional sense, but an extremely soft, but also extremely hard non-Newtonian fluid, Ian even has the illusion that he is touching a humanoid crane, Hilliard's power in his heyday, I am afraid that it can easily lift off a house, or even far more.

Raising his head, Ian and Hilliard looked at each other, the old knight's slightly brown eyes looked ordinary at first glance, but Ian was keenly aware that the other party's pupils would shrink and enlarge with the surrounding light all the time, observing the distance and proximity of the target, and adjust the angle, just like a high-precision reconnaissance camera, covering everything in the field of vision in detail.

This power ...... Ian's breathing was slightly shorter for a moment.

This unprecedented possibility......

It's exactly what he's been pursuing, exploring!

Noticing the boy's mixture of anticipation and longing, Hilliard nodded in satisfaction.

Obviously, the bright boy in front of him has sensed the key.

"The teacher's body is very special."

Letting go of his hand and calming down, Ian summed it up seriously: "Although it looks like just ordinary skin muscles and eyes, it has abilities beyond ordinary people. ”

"Beneath the seemingly human shell, there is a transcendent power."
