"I've got a baby, Pudde."

Viscount Grant smiled and said good news to his old friend: "It's Clendale's." ”

"Heh......"

Looking at his smiling old friend blankly, Pude subconsciously took another sip of wine, smashed his mouth, and said in disbelief: "I thought it was ...... Are you serious? ”

"I thought you were just playing......" he muttered under his breath.

"At first, it was. I like them all. Maybe I prefer Lamar a little, but Clendale is also very good, she's a good woman. ”

Viscount Grant didn't have any mood fluctuations because of Pudde's words, because normal imperial nobles would be like this, and he was actually no exception, he was a real scumbag in terms of feelings.

It's just that he, who has never had children, suddenly has an heir, this feeling...... It's amazing indeed.

Enough to change the wonder of a person.

"In recent years, Clendale has been cultivating hard, and finally cultivated the first-level 'Abyss Lizard Whale' bloodline...... You know what that means, Pude, it took me four years, and I didn't put in any additional resources, and she did the most basic practice. She gave birth to a true heir who could inherit the blood of the Grant family! ”

With such emotion, the viscount shook his head and said, "It's a little slower than Lamar, their brother and sister...... It was my right-hand man. ”

"Of course." Thinking of something, the viscount looked at Pud with a smile: "It's not comparable to Ian." ”

"Ayles!" Pude raised his voice: "Be careful. ”

"You still don't know me after all these years? He's not redheaded, what are you worried about. The viscount was unimpressed, and he lay down on the sofa and said to himself with some longing, "And how to say it...... It's a little wonderful, but I do feel that I'm completely different from what I used to be. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "Pudde, my father told me back then that you were the greatest aid in my ability to settle Port Harrison—I didn't believe it at the time, but now it turns out that it is. ”

"Although Yam is loyal to me and a good friend of mine, he is not capable enough to complete the tasks I have given him, and he has no ideas of his own...... It's not bad, but if it's smarter, it's even better. ”

'Lamar is very capable but still too young and can be naïve in some ways...... It's not a bad thing now, of course, but it can go wrong on your own. ”

"You're the ...... Alone"

"Oh, sir......" elongated his tone, and Elder Pud already knew what the viscount was trying to say.

He also understood why the other party wanted to keep him, so he shook his head with a smile and said, "Ian, I don't think it's possible for your son to suppress him...... I can't hold it back, you can't tell. ”

He already knew that Ayres had indeed changed now: "You can see that, right? He...... It's not like us. ”

The old man sighed softly, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "He is going to go out—the kind of person who can get glory himself!" ”

"Yes, I can't hold it down...... It was the first time I had seen Mr. Goesi look at a young child...... It's like staring at a rare treasure, wanting to touch it, but fearing that his old hands will stain him. ”

Squinting his eyes, Viscount Grant whispered to himself: "Even Mr. Gosai thinks that he may not be able to grasp it, so how can I do it?" ”

"But so what?"

Raising his head to look out the window at the rain clouds that were gradually converging, the viscount narrowed his blue eyes.

He said slowly, "At that time, he will leave Port Harrison, right?" But in any case, Port Harrison is his hometown...... He couldn't give up this place entirely, and my child would be the lord here. ”

"In the past, I might not want to let go and eliminate those uncontrolled 'elements', but now I gradually understand something...... There has to be some leeway. ”

"You have to save some." The man repeated.

Elder Pud was silent for a moment, then he sighed, "You've done a good job, two great storms......"

"Don't say much, Pudder."

The Viscount raised his hand, he knocked on the table, and said calmly, "Ian is the only genius I can cultivate here, and I will definitely not let go now...... But the teacher was right, Port Harrison would only bury him, and that didn't do me any good. ”

Grain blue

"If this time, he can successfully mix the credit among the group of people in the Ellen family, I will use the relationship left by my father to go to the imperial capital to apply for him to be an 'official knight'."

"Coupled with the official alchemist status he will definitely have in the future, he will be able to walk all over Terra in the future, and the nobles should not be underestimated."

Because he was so stunned, the elder didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's time to say thank you." The Viscount prompted.

"Indeed, indeed...... Ayles, thank you. I'm really bothering you. ”

Viscount Grant laughed, he continued to lie comfortably on the sofa, looking at the clouds in the sky: "I actually don't have much ambition, I just want this port, this port named after my father, can continue, become bigger and more prosperous." ”

"I just want my father's name, and our family's name, to leave a mark on this world — and one day, I'll leave my mark too, like the Ayers Lighthouse to guide merchant ships in the South China Sea, what do you think?"

"Good idea."

Elder Pude took another sip of bee mushroom wine: "But it's too expensive now, there aren't enough merchant ships, and the natives' Tide Spirit hasn't solved it yet......"

"Wait, when your child grows up, maybe it will be repaired."

Saying this, he wanted to grab the wine bottle, but was snatched away in advance by the viscount who had been staring: "I'll pour it for you!" ”

"No, how can you trouble the noble lord to pour wine for me as a commoner......"

"Shut up, or don't drink. Sip slowly and learn how to drink from a high-grade bar! ”

……

Platinum-Iridium Workshop.

“…… Do you really want to take that child with you? A wave singer has just cultivated for less than half a year, and such strength ...... When the time comes, you have to be distracted to protect him, and having an Ethan is enough trouble. ”

A middle-aged man's voice rang out in the guest room, and an old voice calmly responded, "Of course." Patrick, at your level, simply can't comprehend the gold content of an appraiser who can perceive the structure of the second layer of inscriptions in the Blue Flame Bracelet. ”

In Master Gosai's room, a series of bottles and cans were placed on a long table, and the old man was sitting on one side, using a simple tool to analyze the blue flame bracelet in his hand, while Patrick stood behind the teacher, his expression a little cloudy.

"So what?" The man's tone seemed to be simply unpleasant: "He just found out!" ”

"Why don't you say he's only fourteen? Don't be discouraged with Ayres in this regard, he did find a good material, but your Ellen family has no shortage of geniuses. ”

The old man did not stop the identification work in his hand, but he muttered for a while before continuing: "If I was a little hesitant at first, not because the kid named Ian was not capable enough, but because he was too capable, I was afraid that we would not be able to protect him, and if something happened and cut off his way, I would regret it immensely." ”

"Look at this." He raised the Blue Flame Bracelet in his hand, and the light of his prosthetic eye shone through the Mithril Gemstone Jewelry for a moment: "I need to do a lot of confirmation to discover the second layer of inscription circuit hidden in the natural structure of the gem, this is the work of a master of my level - but he can detect the slightest mistake with his instinctive acuity!" ”

"What a genius." Master Gosai sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have the energy to teach a second true apprentice, and that such a solicitation would be too disrespectful to Ayers, I would have wanted to take him back to the Imperial Capital immediately. ”

"So what made you change your mind, teacher? Our task is not simple, aren't you afraid of his accident? ”

The middle-aged man's voice was suppressed, and the old man said frankly: "His acumen. Patrick, I know, you think that the appearance of this child will share the credit of Bo Yisen, and the other party is Ayers's person and you can't poach it, so that's why you're angry. ”

"But he's really too suitable - whether Ayres's Life Extension Demon Plant is acting or not, the abnormality of the Blue Flame Bracelet is definitely not detectable by chance!"

Speaking of this, the old man's voice carried a deep anger: "Isengard is my most optimistic child in so many years, and the internal competition of your Ellen family is too much...... Pat, remember to report to the Marquis and his wife later, you must investigate strictly, or I will do it myself. ”

“…… Be. ”

The blonde man's voice was reluctant, but the old man didn't care, because his former student was so awkward: "Okay, after all, Ian saved Ethan's life, so how about sharing a little credit with him?" And it's something that takes a risk to do well, and without his keen sense of origin, we might not be able to find a clue for months alone. ”

"After all, our real purpose is to find high-level demonic beasts that feed on the 'Shimmering Light Element Crystal Shell'."

"A high-level dragon species identified as the 'Zhanhai Crystal Dragon'!"
