Chapter 129: The One Who Foresees the Future (part 2 of 3)
Ian ...... Wait, you're hurt?! ”
The moment the visitors entered, Elder Pud was stunned and wanted to stand up—it was only when Elan, who had just woken up, was still in his arms, so he didn't really do so.
"Alive."
The boy said calmly, he didn't look good at the moment.
The white-haired young man who had just entered the door was soaked with clothes soaked by the torrential rain, and there were many holes in his cuffs and trouser legs, and he held a black sword in his right hand, and there were blood stains flowing under the shirt on his chest, clinging to his skin.
Ian's long hair was not tied up like before, but spread out and pressed against his face and neck, his bright pupils dimmed, an obvious after-effect of overuse of psionic energy.
However, compared to these embarrassed images, his ecology was quite calm, and at the same time, two white people guards also came to the door, and they wanted to ask Elder Pude for instructions in some confusion.
No matter how much Ian was valued by Pudde, there seemed to be injuries on his body, but this kid was carrying a sword after all, and even they felt that even if they gave Ian another sword, it would not be possible to pose any threat to Elder Pudd, but they would definitely do their duty.
"Stand down."
Elder Pud nodded, motioning for the guards to stand down, and only after the sound of going downstairs could he put Elan on the chair and walked up to Ian to check his injuries.
"It's okay, Elder."
Ian opened his hand and let the other party do it a little helplessly: "It's a little bit of a small injury, but it's all healed." ”
"It's fine, but these blood ......"
Elder Pudder's brow furrowed, and when he checked it, he found that Ian was not injured—the blood on his chest had turned into a blood scab, but his clothes were not torn...... He had a lot of thoughts on his mind, but in the end he decided not to ask anything.
There is no need to ask.
If there's something Ian needs to know, then he'll say, if he doesn't need to know, then it's best not to ask.
He knows this better than anyone else - knowing what he shouldn't know will only have the most tragic consequences.
Just like the old family, they seek things that should not be explored, and they crave impossible rewards.
"Give it back to you, Elder Budd."
And just as the old man was thinking, Ian pulled out the silver handcuff from his waist that the elder had lent to him when he had left.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the hammer calmly, "I don't need it. ”
"Huh?"
Squinting his eyes, he took the handcuff handed out by Ian, and Elder Pud examined it as he said slowly, "Ian, what does this mean?" ”
"Elder, don't worry."
And the boy withdrew, his tone calm: "I know what you mean, and my answer, is that everything is expected by me." ”
Elder Pud checked the handcuffs, and he didn't find any signs of use—not a single bullet was missing, and the ignition inscription engraved on it wasn't lost in the slightest.
Ian did not use his 'aid' and returned victorious.
Looking up, the old man and Ian looked at each other.
The young man said, "When I see the future, there is no it. ”
"It doesn't make sense, but I'll take it anyway."
“…… I understand and forgive my temptation. ”
After being silent for a while, Elder Pude sighed, and he nodded: "For a second-level sublimator, even if it is a seriously injured or unconscious sublimator, an ordinary handgun without the power of the alchemy module will not be able to cause effective damage. ”
"But in any case, it does bring certain advantages, and if it were an ordinary person, even if it was meaningless, it would definitely be used a few times."
"Ian, you are indeed a prophet...... It's true. ”
He finally admitted it from the bottom of his heart.
Elder Pud was not disbelieving that Ian was a prophet, but rather he was the one who most hoped that Ian could indeed foresee the future.
But to what extent is it possible to predict the future? Most psykers have some experience of precognitive dreams, and foreshadowing of danger is even more common.
A psyker with little talent will always feel like he might be a prophet—but a true prophet is very different from the kind of foreboding that a prophet shares with a psyker.
But now, the old man can be sure that Ian is at the very least, a true prophet who can see the trajectory of the future and even the obvious signs...... When he sees the future, he does not have his own help, so when he acts later, he does not need his own help.
Ian wasn't lying.
"It's yours."
Without hesitation, Elder Pud handed the handcuff to Ian again: "Although it is useless, it can be regarded as a portable self-defense tool, better than ordinary swords. ”
He looked sideways at the black long sword clenched in Ian's right hand, his eyes froze slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "Of course, it can't be compared with this sword in your hand." ”
There was some hesitation, but in the end, Pud asked solemnly, "Ian...... The lord ......"
“…… He left. ”
Taking the gun, the boy was silent for a moment, his tone smooth and natural: "I won't come back." ”
"yes, he's been found, and he should leave anyway."
Elder Pudd didn't doubt him, and he sat Ian on the guest couch next to him, pondering, "What is your injury......?" Externally, I declared that it was the failure of the condensation source species, so I needed to rest recently...... No, let's just say that I've been exercising too hard lately, and my spiritual energy is not smooth, so I take care of my uncle by the way. ”
"And your uncle, let's say it's an aberration attack, and you need to recuperate at home and not be disturbed. I had already prepared the materials and the next treatment plan, and I had already sent his request to the dock, and the salary was paid for three months, and he died of natural illness after three months. ”
As for Ian, Elder Pud spoke slowly and cautiously, deciding on the spot depending on the situation.
As for the identity of 'Orsna', his thinking on handling it is quite smooth, and he is obviously mature.
"You are a psionic, a talent for an ascension...... If I can be his disciple and get that inheritance, I naturally don't need to worry. ”
The old man's brows furrowed, he was obviously very distressed: "But in this case, what should the inheritance of the Wave Singer do?" Viscount Grant's inheritance is the 'Abyss Lizard Whale', which is the upper bloodline of the fourth energy level, and in his eyes, he can roughly sense the progress of any low-level water bloodline. ”
"That's not a problem." Ian didn't care: "Before the second energy level, I can disguise myself as a water true form inheritance...... After the second level, I will leave Port Harrison for a while. ”
Sensing Elder Pude's expression, the young man said with relief, "Don't worry, the existence and prosperity of the family is the foundation of my future plans. ”
"Elder, don't talk about feelings, only about future interests, and I won't give up the white people of Port Harrison."
