Central Avenue, Hall of Elders.

"Why don't you tell the viscount the news?"

This was the first doubt that Elder Pud had after learning about Patrick's hostility towards Ian: "Even if the two of them have a good relationship, but they have been involved in the infighting of the Ellen family, at this time, we have to inform the viscount, take us out at the same time, and then use official channels to immediately inform the Ellen family of this key information!" ”

"I have no proof."

Ian shook his head, he was a little helpless: "You know that I am a prophet and can believe my words, but do you want me to expose myself as a prophet?" Or bet on who Viscount Grant trusts more? ”

"To be honest, I can't find any clues at the moment...... Patrick has no children, and he doesn't usually lean towards either side of the family, so he has no reason to vote for either side at the moment - he is the future patriarch of the family, and he is the head of the Ellen family's already prestigious estate in the South. ”

Speaking of this, Ian also frowned: "What reason does he have to make a move on Isengard?" Although I have seen it relatively rarely, I can also see from the performance that the young man respects his uncle very much, and the relationship between the two parties is actually quite not bad! ”

This is true - in Ian's eyes, Patrick is actually quite fond of Isengard, and the relationship between the two is already very close in an aristocratic family.

Why? The answer to this question, Ian is still searching.

"Yes."

Elder Pud also had a headache at this time, especially since this matter was actually closely related to Ian: "I still have a piece of information to tell you here, there is a plan for Viscount Grant......"

He told Ian the contents of his private chat with Viscount Grant afterwards, which made the boy raise his head in surprise: "There are actually children?" And so kind, willing to give me credit, give me knighthood, and let me leave Port Harrison? ”

"Of course."

Elder Pud stroked his beard and let out a long sigh, "In the past, he was only single-minded about controlling Port Harrison and then making it grow and develop—now that both of these goals have been achieved, Ayers naturally has other plans. ”

He had to think about his future and his children. The viscount is already seventy years old, even if he has fifty years to live, but more than 100 years old, even if his combat power can still maintain its full strength, it is impossible to do everything by himself like now...... The power will be transferred to his children, and if you want to develop the white people, he will not have the power to suppress you. ”

"In that case."

The old man said slowly: "It's better to let go." ”

"Hmm...... Truly. ”

Ian nodded slightly, and after listening to this information, his mind also changed: "There is one more reason not to tell the Viscount about this now-although it is a little dangerous, I do need this credit to catch the line of Master Gosai." ”

"It's good that the enemy has revealed his intentions, but he doesn't know that I already know...... They don't even know that my true strength is not just a true form of a Wave Singer. ”

The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark. For Ian, the risk from Patrick isn't really huge.

Don't look at the other party's second energy level, but according to the psionic prediction, the threat level is not even as high as if he went around the indigenous core area, and he is obviously the kind of civilian who has not fought much.

As a double first energy level, in the face of such a second energy level, even if the absolute strength cannot resist head-on, he will never lose if he is on guard.

On the other hand, if he can get credit for key tasks and catch up with the Eren family and Master Gosai, his income is extremely high.

Therefore, on the contrary, it is impossible to inform the imperial capital and the Ellen family of this news - if the mission is really canceled, then the person who will come next time is estimated to be a professional team of the imperial capital, and there is no need for him, a rural appraiser.

"It's true, your Wave Singer Inheritance is just an additional role for your Sand Armor apprentice, your true strength, even if it is Viscount Grant, as long as you don't use the Aether armament, you should be able to escape, let alone Patrick."

Elder Pud didn't know about the silver chip.

To this day, he still believes that Ian's 'weak' ability to control water is the result of the special construction of the Sand Armor apprentice.

Sure of his thoughts, the old man nodded, and then reminded, "But, Ian." Unless you are in a desperate situation, you can't expose the Sand Armor Apprentice - whether it's Master Gosai or Patrick, they are both old people who have lived through that era, and they are all familiar with the power of the Sand Armor Apprentice, and if it is exposed, it is not just your own problem. ”

"I'm afraid the whole of Port Harrison will be razed to the ground, just to find the trace of your mentor!"

Elder Pud also didn't know that Hilliard had died, and thought that he had just left the area to live in seclusion.

"And."

Speaking of this, Elder Pude smiled, "Didn't you always say that you wanted to use the materials of the goblin to create a weight-reducing alchemy jewelry for yourself? The Sand Armor Apprentice is indeed too heavy for you to play in some places. ”

"Exactly, the other day...... I acquired a piece of material about goblins. ”

Gu Xu

Saying this, the old man got up at Ian's rather surprised gaze, and then unabashedly took out a sealed marble stone box from the secret room of the elders' hall.

He handed the stone box to Ian and smiled, "I don't dare to use the share you got from the appraisal...... It just so happened that Mr. Yinfang said yesterday that he had a channel to buy fairy materials, so I used the excuse of alchemy to buy it. ”

"The other party didn't want to take money, but I know that with your character, you must be willing to spend money rather than owe the other party favors."

"That's really ...... Surprise! ”

Ian was naturally surprised and delighted.

He was indeed willing to spend money, but he didn't expect Elder Pude to be so concerned about his past words.

He had a lot of things to hide from Elder Pudde, but most of them were the ones that really couldn't reveal the slightest secret, but on the other hand, Elder Pude was very dedicated to him and had no secrets.

The boy took the stone box, and before he could open it, the psionic energy informed him of the contents inside.

【Fairy Feather】

A rich halo of deep blue is flowing.

Cautiously accepting the material, Ian was going to leave it for further appraisal after going to the workshop.

Now that the goal has almost been accomplished, Ian wants to ask one last question before leaving.

"Elder, what kind of bloodline or true form did we, the white people, cultivate back then?"

In order to find out the source of the 'steel bones' on Elan's body, Ian asked bluntly: "Moreover, why was our family banished to Port Harrison by the Emperor back then?" ”

"You finally asked."

Elder Pude couldn't help but be surprised by this question, but rather sighed with emotion: "I originally thought that you would ask four years ago, but I didn't expect you to be so calm and wait until our family has a chance to regain glory. ”

Brushing his beard, the old man said slowly: "As for the inheritance...... What our family inherits is not bloodline, but the true form of the 'Silver Peak Messenger'. ”

When he said this, the elder's tone was tinged with remembrance.

He stroked his beard and lowered his gaze with a complicated look: "This is a rather ancient inheritance. ”

"Back then, our Chehalorvo family settled around the 'Silver Peak' on the edge of the Huaiguang Mountains, and lived by collecting the high-quality ore from the Silver Peak, and because the mountain is steep, and the higher the quality of the ore, the higher the place, our ancestors combined the blood of the 'Black Silver Giant Eagle' and the 'Empty Feather Bird' to create the 'Silver Peak Messenger'...... A true form that is both sturdy and extremely light, harnesses steel and wind, and can be freely explored in the mountains. ”

"Because he can move freely among the mountains, like a messenger of heaven wearing silver feathers, he is called the messenger of silver peaks."

"At that time, our family was not a family, but a group of white tribes scattered in the mountains, until an ancestor who became a well-known labyrinth explorer returned to the ancestral land and united all the tribes with absolute strength and wealth, and the Chehalorvo family was truly born."

"...... in the meantime"

It was endless talking about the past, but Ian listened patiently.

Because this is perhaps the first time in decades that Elder Pude has had the opportunity to be so proud...... and so lonely to explain the history of the family.

The one who once rejected him, and what was indeed where his heart was, the family's past.

“…… Probably due to the influence of that ancestor, even if the clan was forced to migrate to the north of the empire due to the first Dark Mountain Rebellion, the traditional labyrinth exploration and research have not been left behind. For hundreds of years, we have been committed to adventure and exploration, and in doing so, we have gradually developed an influence in the imperial capital, becoming the most important maze scholar family in this field. ”

After expounding on the family's beginnings, rise, migration, resurgence, and eventual prosperity, Elder Pudde's excited face gradually sank.

He closed his eyes and was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Then, decades ago, when the first emperor was at his peak and suppressed the Terra continent, our family was degraded and exiled because of a major discovery about the labyrinth. ”

"What exactly is the big discovery?" Having received information about the family inheritance, Ian continued to listen patiently, and then praised appropriately: "Could it be that our family has made an extremely crucial discovery, and we have not reported it, so we were punished by the emperor?" ”

This is the most reasonable guess.

But Elder Pud shook his head, "It's not - our family held it in high esteem at that time...... Respect for the first emperor. It can even be said to be worship, because the other side supports scholars like us far more than any other emperor. ”

"So our family, even at the first time, told him the mystery of 'eternal life'."
