Chapter 165: The Surging Undercurrent (3/3)

"Oh?"

Pat's tone was puzzled: "I found such a thing, and the teacher still plans to continue to complete the task?" ”

"Of course."

Master Gosai's voice was calm: "Patrick, it's actually very simple...... The farther away from the Imperial Capital, the Farther away from the Eren Realm, the safer Ethan will be—who in this remote Harrison Harbor can suddenly mobilize forces to threaten Ethan, who has both of us? ”

"On the contrary, if you go back rashly, you may encounter an accident, not to mention that if you don't complete Your Majesty's task, the relationship between Madame and Your Majesty will also be reduced, right?"

"Rather, we have to get the job done. Only with His Majesty's admiration can Elam ensure his own safety. ”

"That's the problem." The man said thoughtfully: "The task is difficult. ”

"Indeed."

Putting down the bracelet in his hand, the old man pondered for a while, then got up and took out a map from the package on one side.

Spread out the map and lay it on the long table, and you can see that it is a map of the sea that is even more detailed than the map in Viscount Grant's mansion.

Among them, at the 'Luminous Sea', it is marked with a different color of gold.

"The original element crystal shell can only be said to be an unexpected joy, which can enrich the harvest channels of the element crystallization in coastal areas...... But it was not enough to arouse His Majesty's attention. ”

Master Gosai stared at the map in front of him at the moment, and there were small dots on it, indicating the production points of the various elemental crystal shells, as well as the situation of the rest of the sublimated creatures in the surrounding area.

"However, the appraiser of the Royal Alchemy Society sensed the aura of a high-ranking dragon species from the empty shells of those elemental crystal shells."

The old man's expression was solemn, and even Patrick was very cautious.

Crystalline dragon, a rare species of peculiar dragon, is generally only found around the veins of the seabed, and is a close relative of pyroxene ankylosaurus, mostly found in the inner sea of Starfall and around the Whalesong Cliff.

The existence of a crystallized dragon along the coast of Nanling is something that no one has ever imagined, not to mention the variant of the crystallized dragon, the 'Zhanhai Crystallized Dragon' - this variant can only appear in the formed sea labyrinth, and it is a mutant individual caused by the crystallized dragon being infected by a powerful psionic field.

It's a joke to say that the empire lacks material for a crystalline dragon...... But the labyrinth species are hard to come by.

Most of the labyrinth-like demonic beasts are far more powerful than their peers, and their materials are necessary for some special high-level inheritances.

"No way."

Whispering to himself, Master Gosai sighed and muttered to himself: "After the Dark Moon Turmoil, the original sea labyrinth of the empire was destroyed in the internal strife of many parties, although it has been rebuilt on the original site, but the ecology has not yet been restored, and the crystallized dragon is one of them. ”

"Indeed."

Patrick obviously understood the importance of this, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at the gold-marked area on the map: "A few princes and princesses are okay, the reserves are still enough. ”

"But if the clan is not restored, then the future inheritance will definitely be handled by other countries."

With the strength of the empire, although it is no longer in its heyday, it is not difficult to purchase the materials of the crystallized dragon.

The problem is that high-level Warcraft materials are strategic resources, and occasional interaction is a strategic exchange, but if the Central Empire buys the same Warcraft materials for a long time, it is enough to prove that there is a great problem with their internal Potion circulation system, and high-end strategic materials are limited by people.

But if you want to capture the crystal dragon, how can it be easy?

Not to mention that the common origins are all in the territory of other countries, even if they are really captured, how can they be transported back to the labyrinth mastered by the imperial capital?

"Even, we can't let the spies of other countries detect this, so we can only send us to operate."

Master Gosai shook his head slightly: "This is Your Majesty's trust, and we must not fail to live up to it - the juvenile Crystal Dragon feeds on elemental crystal shells, and if you want to find the Crystal Dragon, you need that young appraiser's keen perception." ”

"I can do the same thing, but when it comes to efficiency...... After all, it is a man-made psionic ornament, and without 'desire' to live in it, it can't compare to that young man after all. ”

"It's a good idea to take advantage of Ayers and the young man."

Holding his hands in front of his chest, Patrick said a little unpleasantly: "He is really lucky, there is a medium and large maze next to his territory, and I don't know if he lives in ......."

"Isn't that why the Black King sent Old Grant here?"

Master Gosai shook his head slightly, he hunched his back and paused on his crutches: "I'm going to rest, let's talk about the next thing tomorrow." ”

"Good. Take care of the recuperation, teacher. The blonde man sighed, then turned to leave.

And the old man prompted: "Remember to inform the Marquis and Madame so that they can start the review of the insiders as soon as possible!" This second layer of inscription structure is definitely made by elite inscription craftsmen, and people with this kind of help ...... The strength is not small! ”

"I know." Patrick agreed.

He left Master Gosai's room, walked out of the Platinum Workshop, and into the street, and then left Port Harrison without a word.

The riverside along the harbor was deserted at night, and there were no wild animals, and there was a quiet darkness all around, with only a few insects chirping. Patrick landed on the top of a pine tree in the night breeze, and the lights of Harrison Harbor not far away shone brightly in the darkness, creating a hazy halo in the South China Sea at night.

The man stared at the city, which fifteen years ago was just beginning to take shape, with the towering walls full of traces of battle, and at night, the whole city was only patrolled and the towers were fired.

And now, it has become a spark ignited by the Empire in the wilderness and darkness, the fire is burning, and his experience and knowledge tell him that this place will become a prosperous center of commerce and trade in the future, a pearl shining between the mountains and the sea.

"Really...... Envy. ”

With a light sigh, Patrick closed his eyes and was silent for a moment.

When he opened it again, his expression became firm: "Although I am not a nobleman with my own territory. ”

"But this time...... Ayles, I'm not going to lose. ”

He took a crystal plate from his bosom, then took out a special pen and began to write on it rapidly.

East side of South Ridge.

The junction of the Eternal Silent Ocean and the coastal area on the south coast.

"Oh...... The boss has summoned me...... Let me see what instructions the adults have......"

In the dark sea shrouded in clouds, a fleet of large and small ships of all sizes was stationed in the dark sea beside the dense algae sea.

The largest of them is more than fifty meters long, while the smallest is less than twenty meters long, and is more of a ship than a ship.

The entire fleet was shrouded in a layer of hazy fluorescence, which was faintly lit in the sea of algae.

"The summons came in the middle of the night, and our boss is more powerful than the master on our elves' side."

And on the largest ship in the center, a lazy voice sounded, although it carried the boss and the lord in its mouth, but there was not much awe from the heart: "Hmm, plan to speed up? Is there going to be a raid so soon? But I haven't gathered all the scattered pirates here yet......"

Accompanied by the sound of deep contemplation, the sound of strokes rubbing against the crystal plate can be faintly heard.

The voice was made by a handsome young 'human' with long dark green hair.

His forehead was tightly bound with a long black cloth, and his near-pupilless eyes and long, pointy ears all attested to his status as a pure-blood elf.

The elven pirates off the coast of Canaan Moore have become essentially a regional identity, and the loose elves who disobey the rule of the Elven court are more of a group of freelancers than bandits, who take on all types of tasks, including armed darts, commercial escorts, raiding competitors, exploring labyrinths, exploring isolated islands, and all sorts of special tasks such as digging for pearls, catching shells, catching conchs, and serving as mercenaries.

Because of the elves' unique oath culture, as long as the elves can make an oath, there is basically no need to worry about the credibility of the other party.

As for such a trivial matter as raiding an exploration ship of a certain country, it is really not worth mentioning.

The elven pirate was working the crystal plate at the moment, but the speed of the reply on the other side was impressive, and the exchange between the two sides fell into a fierce silence for a while, and only the rustle of the crystal pen across the crystal plate could be heard.

"Captain, the boss's mission is going to be advanced?"

Until the voice of the first mate sounded on the side of the elven pirate: "What happened, didn't the boss say that it was foolproof?" ”

"Now it's a loss - the boss has met a powerful person, and the hidden means have been revealed, so we can only use our insurance force method two. And now our target is vigilant, and it is difficult to deal with. ”

Putting down the crystal pen in his hand, the elven pirate frowned slightly: "We are going to raid the survey ship that the target is riding in five days, and there is no reason for the boss to be present at that time, so we only need to face a second-level high-level alchemist and a few first-level alchemists...... It's okay, at least now we don't need to divide our forces to pretend to deal with the boss, just sink the long-range artillery and encircle the sea. ”

"Oh yes, and he's asking us to add a must-kill list...... A young, fourteen or fifteen-year-old Bai Zhimin can be recognized at a glance by his good looks. I asked how beautiful it was, and he said it was better than all of us elves. ”

"Haha." The first mate laughed: "That's really a little obvious, but our food style is really rough compared to those masters." ”

"It's not a nobleman, it's a commoner - does the boss have a grudge against the young man? Why does he always have trouble with young people of this age? ”

With a snort, the pirate captain shook his head: "It's not a big problem, it's just that we have to be faster, and there is no boss to secretly cover the signal, just if we raid the survey ship, that Viscount Grant may come over armed with the ether." ”

The elven pirate's dark green hair swayed, and he raised his finger: "Fortunately, the sea shelters us." ”

With that, he raised his head and looked at the distant dark horizon.

There, there was a faintly converging sea of clouds, and the elf with dark green hair smiled and said, "Let's continue to wait...... Wait for the survey ship to explore for a few days before making a move...... Or rather, wait until the storm. ”

"At that time, it was our home field."

At the same time, Ian boiled a pot of potion with a frown and sent it into the mouth of Elan, who was suffering from a high fever.
