"The real mission?"

Although Ian showed just the right amount of doubt, he didn't ask more, but waited for the viscount's explanation.

Sure enough, Viscount Grant didn't really wait for the two white people, one old and one young, to continue to praise him, so he continued to talk to himself: "Actually, you should also be aware that if it is just an element Jingbei, it is impossible for the marquise who dotes on her children to send her son to our rural place of Port Harrison. ”

When talking about the countryside, the viscount did not laugh at himself, but elaborated earnestly.

He can even be said to be calm and relaxed: "The Ellen family has three sons and two daughters, and our little master here is the third son, with two half-brothers, an older sister and a biological sister. ”

"The middle-aged blonde man with the nose on his head is his uncle, Patrick Ellen, Prime Minister of the Southern Region of the Platinum-Iridium Workshop."

"And the slightly hunchbacked old man is one of the fifteen royal masters of the Royal Alchemy Society, and one of the two masters who are still teaching within the association, and also my original alchemy instructor, Gossai Abid."

At this point, the viscount did not continue, for he believed that both men present would understand the meaning of his words.

"Indeed."

Elder Pude nodded thoughtfully: "Although strategic creatures are important, if you really want to divide the levels, a few first-level sublimators are enough-the element crystal shell is not a magical beast in essence, and an ordinary reconnaissance team can complete the material recovery task." ”

"At most, a second-level leader can lead the team, this little young master is also worthy of this configuration, but the two of them are really a bit fanfare."

"Patrick doesn't necessarily have to make a move." Viscount Grant said, "The Ellen family is now very competitive within itself...... Neither Ethan's two older brothers nor the older sister are fuel-efficient lamps, and Pat, though not smart, doesn't take sides – especially Ethan. ”

- No, he had chosen, but he hadn't chosen Ethan.

Ian complained in his heart, he knew that the Viscount's speculation was correct, the reason why the blonde nobleman came here could never be the element crystal shell, and the other party was obviously not very attentive to this task.

On the other hand, he had other things on his mind, and as for whether this matter was the real task in the Viscount's mouth, or was it an assassination of his nephew...... That's another story.

"Anyway."

And Viscount Grant concluded: "In addition to the element crystal shell, the group of people in the Ellen family must have other plans, and maybe even the element crystal shell is just a cover-up." ”

When the Viscount said this, his tone was categorical, both Ian and Elder Pud knew very well that the other party must have obtained some kind of information to dare to be so sure.

In fact, it is also true - with the trade of specialty products in recent years, Viscount Grant has a number of channels in the imperial capital, and of course, it may also be that he has pulled his father's past favors, and most of his sources are very accurate.

"Pudd, Ian."

The man's eyes were blazing as he stared at the two white people: "For you, this is an opportunity. ”

"Ian, I'm amazed by your talent, you're smart and haven't been tempted to know that staying in Port Harrison is the best option for you - but Master Gosai is right, compared to your potential, I will only delay you, so you must close your relationship with Master Goser on this mission."

"He is the only two masters in the Alchemy Association who are still educating the younger generations, he has a full set of alchemy classics in his hands, the collection of books is rich and the knowledge is comprehensive, I am afraid that the entire empire will not be able to find a second one, as long as he is willing to help you, you don't have to worry about self-learning materials at all."

Grain

He turned his head and looked at Elder Pude: "Old fellow, your chance to lead the family to wash away your reputation has come - the first emperor has belittled you, but the current majesty will not care too much, as long as you make meritorious contributions, show your value, and get your surname back is just around the corner." ”

I have to say that Viscount Grant has done a pretty good job of drawing pies and guiding people, and this ability has nothing to do with the ability to learn, but a natural instinct, which Ian also admires.

But...... Ian sensed a hint of urgency in the other party's words.

"Oh...... I probably understand. ”

The young man Bai Zhimin had a glimmer of realization in his heart: "If there is really a so-called real task, it is absolutely inseparable from the labyrinth." Even, maybe a group of ruins! ”

"Viscount Grant is also a descendant of the pioneer group in the past, he should also know about the existence of the Great Ruins of the South China Sea, and regard it as a forbidden body, so he wants to pay close attention to the movements of this exploration group, and wants to use us as nails and insert them into it."

"We can really get the benefits, we will definitely do our best, the mission of the expedition will be smoother with the help of us locals, and he will be able to successfully obtain information, which is a win-win situation."

After almost all this instruction, Ian left the Viscount's Mansion, while Elder Budd stayed, and the two still had some political and military matters to discuss.

When leaving, he saw that Yamm and Lamar were also in the hall on the first floor of the Viscount's Palace, and the two seemed to be talking about something, and they both smiled and nodded at Ian, which was regarded as a greeting.

Because of the mission of the Eren family and the imperial capital, the upper echelons of Port Harrison are once again in operation...... Maybe it's more than that.

But Ian didn't care too much about that.

Now, he's more focused on his own strength.

"My sand armor apprentice has cultivated three essentia organs, and he has been improving his physical fitness in the past four years, and now he has fully adapted to it, so it can be said that even when the teacher was at the first energy level back then, he should be in the same position as me."

On the way home, Ian couldn't help but start thinking about his sublimation heritage.

Hilliard had said back then that because of Ian's super-first-class source seed, the speed and quality of his essentia condensation far exceeded that of ordinary sublimators, even the descendants of great nobles, for the sake of safety, would not choose a radical and efficient source like him.

It is precisely because of such a high-quality source that Ian was able to quickly accumulate the essentia of his own sublimation organ in the follow-up and became an official sublimator.

However, he was too young at that time, and even if he became an ascendant, he would not be able to fully exert that transcendent power.

Until now.

Now, after four years of precipitation, Ian has reached the limit of the first energy level of the theoretical 'Sand Armor Apprentice', as Hilliard said.

His three sublimation organs, the 'Heart of Fertile Earth', the 'Pure Rock Crystal Bone', and the 'Sand Armor Rock Core', were all on the verge of full maturity.

And the reason why he didn't completely fix them into their full form was only because of a possibility that Hilliard had told him in the first place.

- There is speculation about the 'Extreme Domain' above the fifth level.
