Chapter 161: The Real Mission (2/3)

"Everybody did a great job!"

After the end of such a 'play' arranged by Viscount Grant with a very good and even unexpected ending, Viscount Grant encouraged everyone, and then invited Elder Pud and Ian to the Viscount's Mansion to continue to discuss the follow-up details.

He will explain to Ian why he was the main character and performed such a arranged scene in front of the Ellen family.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

On the way, Elder Pudd noticed Ian's frowning slightly, thoughtful expression, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just that I feel a little bit about the relationship between the nobles. It's hard to understand. ”

Ian's answer made the elder mistakenly think that he was talking about the relationship between Viscount Grant and Patrick, so the old man laughed, "They did have some contradictions in the past...... But the contradiction is better than nothing at all, not to mention that Lord Patrick is actually a good man, and his strong support at the beginning did save the life of Port Harrison. ”

At this, the elder showed a look of remembrance. He let out a long sigh, Those difficult years were too hard for the old man to forget.

"Yes."

Ian's original opinion of Patrick was the same as that of Elder Pudder, and the other party really had a hard mouth.

If a real acquaintance is in trouble, no matter what the mentality is, he will really help - this is already considered a good heart.

But now, his eyes narrowed, and his heart was puzzled.

"A 'good' aristocrat, a good man who would really help his friends, and an uncle who does seem to be gentle on the surface...... Why did he assassinate his nephew? ”

Yes.

With the hostility he finally perceived in Patrick, Ian understood it in the first place.

The second layer of inscription structure on the Blue Flame bracelet is the handwriting of this good uncle of the Eren family!

At the beginning, the other party may just want Isengard to talk more with him, set up something like something, but he didn't expect the blonde boy to be so straightforward that he asked directly about his skills, and then he didn't hesitate to choose the Blue Flame Bracelet, which surprised him.

But in fact, everything is fine until here...... It wasn't until he actually saw something that the other party was surprised, and became hostile to him...... Even a deep killing intent in an instant!

"My uncle was the assassin of his nephew, and he was not discovered by anyone else...... Why is that? It's hard to understand. ”

Ian struggled: "And the killing intent, there is no reason - although I exposed his conspiracy, killing me will not solve the problem, and he doesn't look like a person who will kill people because of anger...... There must be something hidden behind this! ”

Although, facing the killing intent of a second-level imperial nobleman.

But he wasn't too worried

Because the killing intent is just the killing intent, Patrick is not reckless, or stupid enough to do it on the surface.

Let's not talk about whether he can kill himself, from the emotional point of view alone, the other party's emotions are more shocked and incredible, annoyed and inexplicable, I don't understand why this kind of thing can be exposed, although the killing intent is accumulating, but there is no plan.

Moreover, the nobleman was not nervous, did not worry about being suspicious, and did not show even the slightest flaw.

So even if he really wants to make a move, it will definitely not be now, but after he has a detailed plan.

"Patrick's inscription skills are certainly not good enough to make a second composite inscription structure - there must be someone else behind him, and this is definitely not his madness, but a reflection of the internal struggle behind the Ellen family...... Hey, the relationship between the nobility is really hard to understand. ”

And Ian couldn't help but sigh: "This imperial capital lord who seems to be just a little arrogant is actually a pig who eats tigers." ”

"Everyone thinks he's simple-minded, just a moody guy, but in fact, he can hide his true purpose and make his goals unsuspecting."

"You can't underestimate anyone."

With such feelings, he and Elder Pude came to the Viscount's Mansion and entered the study on the second floor.

Viscount Grant, who had returned early, was waiting for them in front of a large map of Southridge.

"The Eren family and the Imperial Royal Alchemy Society have joined forces to come for the mission of His Majesty today."

The Viscount looked at the map, he took out his pen and drew a circle in the sea area close to the Tenglan Ministry, and he said bluntly: "Elemental Crystal Shell - about eight months ago, a new magical beast discovered by an unaffiliated adventurer appeared in this sea area, near the Luminous Sea. ”

Turning his head, Viscount Grant motioned for Ian and Elder Pud to come forward and look at the map: "That's a special 'strategic creature' that can produce crystallized natural elements of extremely high purity. ”

Gu Ying

"The unaffiliated adventurer team was taken over by the Platinum-Iridium Workshop, and they also reported the news to the Empire, and the Empire's higher-ups took this very seriously, so they sent a team to determine the authenticity of the information. If you can, capture the species and bring it back to the imperial capital for research. ”

"They're that team."

Ian nodded, and he had already guessed this: "The Eren family is here for this credit. ”

At this moment, he also understood why Sai Nan would come over with that pile of fluorescent algae to identify it - because that pile of fluorescent algae was coming from the origin of the element crystal shell, the noctilucent sea realm of the Tenglan Department.

The reason why the other party wants to identify is probably to obtain data on local fluorescent algae and other crystal shell companion plants, and prepare for subsequent cultivation and cultivation of element crystal shells.

In addition, whether it is an element crystal shell or a fluorescent algae, it was born because of the mutation of the labyrinth...... So, it's not wrong that their survey team is here for the labyrinth!

"That's true. This was a direct order from His Majesty the Emperor, and the current wife of the Marquis of Ellen was the second daughter of His Majesty, who was unblooded but favored, and who had won the mission for her own son. ”

Nodding, Viscount Grant said calmly: "This is a great credit - element crystals are strategic materials, although the empire already has the original strategic breeding creatures to obtain stable element crystals, but no one will be too much." ”

"It's a great achievement, and it's impossible for us not to get involved."

Elemental crystallization is essentially materialization, and there is no attribute tendency and inscription structure of the 'artificial gem' If the gemstone attracts the power of psionic energy, then the elemental crystallization attracts the power of essentia.

When he said this, the person the viscount looked at was Elder Pudeβ€”the old man of the White People nodded silently, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was pondering.

Ian was also silent, he knew very well that this was the kindness released by the Viscount.

The White Folk of Port Harrison are exiled degraded people, they were the last remnants of the 'Chehalorvo Family', a well-known labyrinth researcher in the imperial capital, but now only Elder Pude is left who remembers this identity.

Derogation is not absolute, and if it is said that it will never be forgiven, then the Emperor could have thrown the members of the Chehalorvo family to the real front line, such as the Great Desert of the Flying Flamelands...... As long as he has made enough contributions, Bai Zhimin may not be unable to take back his surname, become a nobleman again, and regain his glory.

This mission may be a good opportunity...... After all, it was the first emperor who belittled the Chehalorvo family, and the current emperor is Axel the Protector.

As long as there is enough merit, the other party does not mind forgiving the sins of the white people, which is also a matter of many precedents.

"It takes your strength."

This time, the Viscount was talking to Ian.

Viscount Grant looked at Ian solemnly, but his tone was with a relaxed smile: "It's really good, Ian, your performance...... Well, it's far beyond my expectations, but I'm not surprised, because you're that genius. ”

"The fourteen-year-old first-level sublimator, although it is only a low-level inheritance like the Wave Singer, is also talented enough to be a genius...... If I advance to the third level in the future and have more capital, I will consider giving you the second level of the Siren inheritance. ”

Hearing this, both Ian and Elder Pud were shocked, and then thanked them in unison.

"Hmm."

Rightfully thanking the two of them, he slowly sat back down at the back of his desk, with his hands resting on his chin, and he said calmly, "Ian, unexpectedly, the next time I confer with Patrick and Master Gosse, you will be the appraiser accompanying their expedition - a remnant of the Chehalorvo family, as well as my subordinate. ”

Viscount Grant is very good at borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, empty gloves white wolf...... Just as he had borrowed Mr. Silverfang's magic plant to show favor to Master Gosai, and now he had used Ian's abilities and work to help him in the Emperor's mission.

But no one thinks there's anything wrong with that, because it's the link between people - without his diligence with Master Gosai, no matter how much Master Gosai thinks of Ian, he won't try to draw Ian closer to his team.

People who have no background are absolutely harmful and useless to join their ranks.

Perhaps it is because of this talent for interpersonal communication that Viscount Grant is extra well-informed, and leads Port Harrison through the most critical moment, doing things that even the old Viscount Grant may not be able to do.

But that's also a disadvantage...... In addition to the diplomatic field, although Viscount Grant is still talented in sublimation skills, he can be regarded as ignorant of inscriptions and alchemy, so that the maintenance of the aether armament can only be done with the help of Elder Pud and Ian.

Knowing this, Ian continued to listen to Viscount Grant's prompt: "Don't worry too much, this is not a dangerous mission, the Tenglan Department has almost broken with the Mountain Tide Department, even if the Great Shaman still has the authority to command the Totem Lord, they can no longer be harmonious, and there will not be too much danger at sea." ”

"The only problem is the Monster, but with Patrick and Master Gosai, even if those two giant eels appear together, they may not really hurt you."

Saying this, the brown-haired and blue-eyed nobleman nodded seriously: "What you said you need to do is to come back as safely as possible, give full play to your strength, and make them impress you, and feel that you are a manufacturable material and an excellent appraiser." ”

"Then, maybe, maybe, they will reveal to you the 'real mission' of their operation this time!"

"Huh."

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but be stunned.

He and the viscount looked at each other and said with some puzzlement, "The real task? ”
