Chapter 35: Ethnicity
"I really didn't expect that Teacher Hilliard was actually looking for Sainan and them to ask for news in the afternoon......"
Smiling and waving, Ian was ready to leave with a surprise after saying goodbye to Sainan and the other fishermen.
Ask the fisherman, it seems that the teacher's target is at sea, but what Hilliard is going to do, the boy does not know, and he does not want to ask, anyway, when the time comes, the other party will naturally tell him.
As for now, it's time to prepare dinner.
This blue-mist salmon is the same grade as eel meat, slightly inferior to tuna, but not frozen, and now he goes home and cooks, whether it's salt-grilled, sashimi or steamed, it's fresh, and he's hungry.
As for the rest of the blue fog......
Ian can see that Harrison Port catches some rare fish every day, but their identification methods are not developed enough, and many rare catches are sold as ordinary fish, cheaper than the unaware lucky ones.
But Ian is different, his psionic powers seem to be used specifically to identify leaks.
"I got a fish for nothing, this favor, remember."
Ian doesn't have any psychological pressure to accept things from others, but Sainan is indeed a good person: "If you have the opportunity, help them recognize the true value of their catch, how rare it is." ”
He can take advantage, but he doesn't need to take advantage all the time.
However, just as Ian left the fishing market.
He found that in the drizzle of the street at night, there was a group of people standing by the roadside.
In the center of the group, a stout and short white-haired old man stared at him.
"Elder Pudder?"
Raising his head, Ian showed a surprised expression, this is not a disguise, he really didn't expect it: "Why are you ...... here"
"Worthy of Ernesto's child."
Elder Pud didn't answer Ian's confusion, but just sighed meaninglessly, "It's really going to be a fool." ”
Then, he stepped forward and handed the boy a brown-red box sealed with lacquered wood: "Take it, it is a medicinal herb that can relieve the spiritual influence, the Beria Spiritual Herb." ”
"After returning home, soak in boiling water, clean up the foam, and after precipitating for a whole day, take the top water to drink, and apply the bottom residue to the temporal region and the corners of the eyes for seven days, which can alleviate the effects of nerve poison such as most sleep powder and paralyzing venom...... Elam is still small, the dosage can be a little less, and you have to use it yourself once to avoid sequelae. ”
The elder was succinct, then patted Ian on the head and instructed, "For now, come with me." Take me for a walk with this old man. ”
With that, Elder Pudder reached out and motioned for Ian to take him.
His words were soft, but they left no room for refusal, and Ian did not hesitate as he nodded obediently, took the elder's hand, and walked slowly down the street with the old man's steps.
The street where the fishing market wharf is located is further out, and you will find the central street that leads directly to the official road. Almost all of the chambers of commerce have their offices and storefronts there, and from there to the west is the garrison where the guards and sheriffs are stationed.
Further out, there are the city walls and the River Iwok.
Most of the pedestrians on the street were hurrying, some of them were white people, and when they saw Elder Pudde, they all stopped to greet the old man who had watched almost everyone grow up.
"Your father, Ernesto, was the captain of the harbor guard, a first-level sublimator."
Smiling and nodding at the white people who greeted him, Elder Budd spoke softly to Ian, "You may not remember him, but your mother must have said his name. ”
The old man's hand was rough and strong, as if covered with a layer of stone skin, he held Ian's hand softly, and his voice was low and clear: "He was expected to take over the position of sheriff after the retirement of Knight Yam, and he was also one of the candidates for elder after I left, a young man who was upright and resolute, and extremely responsible. ”
The old man recalled the past with some nostalgia and regret: "And your mother, Evelyn, is smart and strong, and can bring up your two brothers by herself. ”
Ian was silent, listening carefully to Elder Pudd's every remark.
The other party suddenly found himself and began to talk about his parents' past, obviously not really wanting to remember the past with him, an eight-year-old child...... Not to mention anything else, his father in this life had died in a shipwreck with many other colleagues in the port guard team before he was born, and he didn't understand this.
Eight years ago, when the storm devastated the entire city and destroyed so many families, how could Elder Pude be so busy at that time that he could care about the problem of a single family?
Sure enough, Elder Pude continued, "After so many years, the clan does owe you to your family, and this indigenous attack woke me up, and thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, nothing happened to you, otherwise, when I was buried underground and met your parents, I really didn't know how to face them." ”
After a slight pause, the old man said calmly: "I have already sent someone to say to Orsena that the house along the coast will be handed over to you to live in, and there is no need to spend extra money." There is no need to worry about those herbs, they were given by the generous Viscount Grant, and they are of very good quality, so there is no need to be polite to him. ”
- He should ...... No, it's definitely something!
Although all the good news has been received, Ian's vigilance has been raised to the maximum.
But he didn't have any sense of crisis.
There was no need to use the Prophetic Horizon, and Ian knew very well that even if he revealed that he had awakened his psionic powers, he would not encounter any problems at all.
Behold, Elder Pud has sent so much condolences just because he was suspicious.
If the other party was really sure that he had awakened his spiritual energy, would he, as the elder of the White People, still suppress his eight-year-old child? Persecution paranoia would probably have to be extremely serious to think of this progress.
The other party will definitely focus on cultivating himself, and according to the hint in Elder Pude's words, it can even be said that the other party will help him to embark on the path of ascension, and even become a future elder reserve.
That's what a psyker should be.
If Ian wasn't......
Elder Napud is not at a loss.
The silent white-haired boy and the old man walked through the bustling central avenue, past the stone hall of the Huaiguang Church with its towering spired bell tower, and not far away was the most ornate Viscount's Mansion, which was elevated above half of Harrison Harbor.
Along the way, they even encountered a caravan from Nauman, the capital of the southern provinces, and the tall horses with exorcist bells were guided by the sheriff to the warehouse district of the Eastern End, where all the transit and transportation of goods took place.
But they didn't stop there, and Elder Pud led Ian through half the city until it was dark and the algae oil lamps in the streets lit up with a dim, dim light.
They came to the wall on the west side of the city.
