Chapter 51: Catching the Sea

In the year 766 of the Terra calendar, the seventh month of the Flowing Flames, the second half of the year.

The seventh day of Ian's awakening of memories from his past life.

For the people of the empire in the frontier areas, except for the nobles, basically everyone could not figure out what day it was, and at most they could only tell whether it was the first half of the month or the second half of the month by virtue of some notices and proclamations from the church and the town hall.

After all, they have no holidays or legal rest days, and they have to work every day to survive, and the specific time and number of days are meaningless.

Ian didn't like this vague feeling, he always liked to plan the time precisely, but unfortunately, he didn't know exactly what day it was in July these days, and he could only roughly judge that it was supposed to be the second half of July, which was one of the most tidal months.

For obsessive-compulsive disorder, this feeling is like drinking yogurt without licking the milk cap, and the sleeves are stuck with water when washing hands, which is quite uncomfortable.

Ian, however, didn't have time to dwell on these little things.

Because, he's been 'in class' all the time.

Since four days ago, Ian had shown some of his true psionic abilities, as well as his talent for condensing the source seeds.

Determined to demand Ian at the highest level, Hilliard began to teach the boy everything about the Ascendant, as well as general knowledge lessons including history, geography, and even culture and art.

- The history of the Empire, the history of the Terra Continent, the laws of the Empire, the topography of the Nanling Province, the Empire's sphere of influence, and the distribution of power among the nations......

- Ancient Terra mythology, imperial folklore, Nanling aboriginal categories, special customs and sensitive points that need attention......

- Etiquette in accordance with the etiquette, the secret words of the sublimator, the basic information of various monsters and their weaknesses......

And finally, there are quite a few tips on spiritual practice.

In addition to anything else, Hilliard has a lot of experience in cramming teaching, and during these four days, he will teach Ian a lot of precious knowledge every day, striving to make Ian have the knowledge of the path of sublimation and other aspects in a short period of time, and become a normal sublimator.

"This is all the knowledge that I summarized when I taught those noble imps, and it must and cannot be omitted, as long as you learn it, you will be no different from those bloodline nobles in terms of knowledge reserves, or even better."

That's what the old knight said, and he was very pleased with Ian's serious study - few of his former students were willing to study these 'boring things' seriously, and those naughty and impatient little ones were eager to start practicing the path of sublimation in the shortest possible time, and always disliked these cultural classes as boring and boring.

On the contrary, Ian, as a civilian, can fully understand the importance of this seemingly boring knowledge, absorbing all the information like a sponge, and even regretting that this knowledge is too condensed and not detailed enough.

What teacher doesn't love such studious students? Hilliard is naturally willing to incorporate the lessons of her decades into the curriculum, little by little, so that the boys can avoid detours in the future.

Ian was not complacent about this.

If you just take classes to study, it is nothing at all for him who has been a professional engineer in two lives, and he has to take three certificates every year, and it is even quite easy.

Not to mention...... Who said boring and boring?

- This is knowledge about another world!

For Ian, who pursues the unknown and is curious about the extraordinary, just listening to these common senses of the other world is exciting enough, so that he can't help but clench his hands and listen carefully every time he goes to class.

It's like the setting party bought the long-awaited set of settings, how can they dislike the content of it as boring for ordinary people?

He wanted to memorize every word Hilliard said!

What's more, this knowledge, in this world where the social form is not developed, is obviously a private property of the aristocracy that will not be open to the common people, and only the big families and big forces can learn the privacy.

As long as he can learn this, then there will be no decisive gap between him and those nobles who are one step ahead of him and high up in the sky, except for resources.

Four days is far from allowing Ian to catch up with the genuine sublimators and nobles in this world who have been learning since childhood, and it cannot be compared in terms of the accumulation of snack source food alone.

But at least, Ian is no longer the boy who is ignorant of the way of sublimation, almost ignorant of anything.

Around Harrison Harbor, along the beach flats.

A warm and humid breeze blows across the beach from above the sea, carrying the smell of impending heavy rain.

For the vast majority of Terra, July of Flames is the beginning of the hottest summer months, and the townspeople around the Flamelands even take refuge in their underground tunnels to avoid the scorching sun and hot winds.

But for the inhabitants of the southern coast, the name of the month may be a bit of a mismatch, as the abundant rains and frequent typhoons wash over and over again from July to late autumn, and only the toughest giant trees and rocky houses can withstand this test.

Under the clouds, the sea breeze is howling, and a white-haired boy is jogging along the tidal dividing line of the beach with a small bucket.

His movements are smooth and natural, his breathing is very rhythmic, and his steps are even lighter as if he has not touched the ground, but with a light touch, the person has already rushed forward for several meters, and his body is like a spring, strong and flexible.

Ian is doing his daily afternoon practical training, and after he has mastered the breathing guidance during meditation, Hilliard asks him to breathe in a guided way during any exercise to adjust the direction of essentia in his body.

After all, when exercising, the blood flow around the human body will accelerate, and if this force is also exercised, the body is active and the mind is peaceful, and the condensation of essentia can be greatly accelerated.

This is also the essential quality that an Ascendant needs in battle - the more a Ascendant can maintain a steady flow of essentia in the heat of the campaign, the more he will be able to guarantee an advantage in battle.

According to the old knight, when Ian officially becomes an Ascension and has his first essentia organ, he will teach Ian a special exercise technique, as well as a special channeling technique.

According to that refining method, the sublimator can quickly restore his essentia reserves, but it consumes too much of the body, and ordinary people will not only have no benefit from using it, but will squeeze their life potential, resulting in life danger.

Compared to that wonderful alchemy, the earth's training techniques are detailed and comprehensive, but they are not entirely applicable to Terra, who has extraordinary powers.

Whew, Ian jogged, but his breathing was steady, and his whole complexion looked much better, and there was some blood under his fair skin.

This is the result of eating fish and meat every day in the past few days, combined with medicinal herbs, fruits and vegetables, and exercise, and it is also a manifestation of the spiritual energy that activates the excellent physical talents of the Terra people.

This jogging has been going on for three hours, but Ian feels that his physical strength has not been depleted at all.

On the contrary, he was even more and more energetic, and the blood flow in his body became more and more smooth, and even the faint sound of blood flow could be heard in his ears.

For the sublimators, it is difficult for ordinary people's food to quickly replenish the consumed essentia, but the efficiency is not as low as Ian imagined.

Perhaps it is because the sunlight utilization rate of the Terra plant exceeds that of the earth, even ordinary berries contain far more nutrients than their counterparts on the earth, and the staple food is full, high-quality, and fragrant, which is simply not like the quality that should be in this era.

For high-level sublimators, the food of ordinary people has no edible value, and they need to eat extraordinary ingredients of the blue mist level to replenish their combat consumption.

But for a virtual source sublimator like Ian who is still nourishing his body, eating more is completely enough.

Maintaining a continuous breath, Ian still had the strength to turn on the 'Foresight' from time to time—a hundred meters around him, and many white and gray mist appeared, manifesting in the tidal flats.

"Ha, there's a razor clam here!"

Watery eyes swept over and smiled softly, and Ian found his purpose.
