This is just a guess.

Ian did not dare to say what Inaga II's purpose was in the first place.

But there is no doubt that the master of the labyrinth he wants to be is not ordinary.

Only, in any case, this speculation can explain at least some of the puzzling elements.

The boy didn't continue the conversation, he had already gotten the answers he wanted from Master Gosai, and knew what he should do in the second or even third level in the future.

Condensing essentia, sublimating essentia structure – he has done this perfectly.

And then there is the soul and psionic structure of the second energy level.

Master Gosai is already old, and it will be difficult for him to become a third level, but it is not impossible, so he is very well prepared, and what he informs Ian is also a key element.

"Ian ......"

At this moment, Ian and Master Gosai were silent in the rain, as if thinking about something.

Isengard spoke, as if he wanted to say something to the white-haired boy, but he hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

Ian turned his head to look at Isengard.

He thought that the other party wanted to ask him some questions about cultivation and alchemy, but he didn't expect the blonde boy to hesitate for a while before he said lightly: "We are...... Friends, right? ”

- Just ask this?

"Of course." Ian didn't hold back, he laughed out loud: "We lived and died together in the underground ruins, fought together several times, and we weren't friends before, but now we're friends. ”

However, after laughing, Ian sighed a little - Isengard's interpersonal relationship, I'm afraid I don't know a few peers except for his classmates, and with his talent, it is estimated that classmates are not peers.

Coupled with the rejection of the family, Isengard really has no friends.

"Okay."

Although he was ashamed of Ian's laughter at first, he had to lower his head under the collar, but soon, Isengard's expression returned to normal, and only the roots of his ears were a little red: "So, look forward to meeting next time, friend." ”

Ian smiled and nodded, "Well, goodbye." ”

So they said goodbye and waited for the next goodbye.

Master Goser and Isengard got into a carriage and left—they weren't sure if there were any other killers besides Patrick, so the trip was deliberately disguised by Viscount Grant, and no one except Ian knew that they were leaving at this time, but they thought they were resting in the Viscount's mansion.

If it's not a killer, it naturally doesn't care when the two people leave, and if it's a killer, there is a high probability of being deceived.

Ian watched as the carriage turned down the street and left in the direction of the west gate, with some subtlety in his heart.

Master Goser and Esengard are the intermediary points between him and Harrison Harbor to peer into the entire world of Terra - it is because of their presence that Ian finds the opportunity to go to the outside world.

"It's coming."

Shaking his head slightly, Ian turned around and walked towards his small shop, his workshop.

He had a few things to do before leaving Port Harrison.

For example, helping sharks break through the second energy level.

If the protagonist of this trip to the South China Sea Labyrinth is Ian on the surface, in fact, the biggest hero is definitely a shark.

Whether it's detecting pirate armor and blocking the bombardment of pirate fleets, or hindering the pursuit of moray eels, sharks play a vital role.

Not to mention, inside the ruins, it was the shark shark that kept luring the giant eel, and on the way out of the labyrinth, the two fast frigates that created the Flying Flame Land one after another could not move.

Without sharks, a lot of fights would be a lot more troublesome.

It is reasonable, even if it is just to ensure that the ruins under the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea are not so quickly detected by subsequent adventurers, Ian has to make the shark shark who is the acting master of the maze stronger.

I didn't go back to the shop and workshop for more than a week, and the papers on both the containers and the desks were full of dust.

Except for the small metal box at the bottom of the building, which was presumably sent by Master Gosai, Ian did not see any sign of anyone else visiting his shop.

Most of the documents on the table were formulas made from Ian's experimental inscriptions, not to mention anyone else, and even Ian himself had to record data with a prophetic perspective and a silver chip to remember what those things meant, and the degree of encryption was better than transliterating the southern dialect.

"I feel that next time, I can use the 'maintenance inscription' found in the ruins to ensure cleanliness, but I don't know how much energy consumption is."

This time Ian's harvest in the ruins can't be said to be better than nothing, it can only be said that it is full of money, not to mention anything else, just a variety of inscriptions, enough for Ian to study for a few years.

From the maintenance rune to maintain the ruins, to the long sword of the green tide, plus the 'Aether Transformation Inscription' of the Spirit Weapon Church, if you study it thoroughly, you may be able to carry many large engineering equipment or alchemy instruments in the future, which is very convenient.

Sitting in a chair at the workbench, Ian opened the metal box, and then gasped in the light released from the box—

He saw a whole row of Warcraft-level elemental crystals, although they were all small crystalline particles like the Shimmering Crystal Shell, but this was just not for aether armament, whether it was used as a potion material or as an energy source, this was precious enough, worth hundreds of thalers.

The other materials are the 'fluorescent algae' and 'solar algae' produced by the maze mutation, which happen to be the old mature 'algae' that Ian himself has identified, and the quality is quite good.

In addition, Master Gosai also stuffed a few books under the box, and Ian looked through them roughly, and determined that they were intermediate and high-level alchemy textbooks from the imperial capital, and there were rows of clear explanation handwriting on them.

“…… It's really bothering. ”

After being silent for a while, Ian couldn't help but sigh - those Warcraft materials and fluorescent algae are just that, it's nothing more than a matter of money.

And those intermediate and high-level alchemy textbooks are truly priceless treasures, knowledge that money can't buy.

But now is not the time to delve into alchemy textbooks.

Ian pulled out a piece of sterling silver from a nearby cabinet.

"The hive of the worm, in addition to absorbing Elan, also absorbed the shark - even the three dragon eggs were accepted by me, and finally fused into the three-headed crystalline dragon Dora."

"Crystal Ultimate Dragon is a system aside, the shark was transformed into a giant weapon platform by the hive of me at that time...... Honestly, not a very innovative option, but it is strong enough. ”

Recalling the scenery in the dream of the hive, Ian weighed the silver ingot in his hand, and he pondered for a moment: "Ironclad Shark, Steelarmored Shark, this is an advanced quality level, after becoming a Steelarmored Shark, Ironclad Shark will become a complete metal-based life, the whole body is covered by high-strength alloys, the reaction speed and agility are far better than before, and you can even go deep into the magma layer to find high-energy minerals." ”

"But the whale shark on the island after that doesn't seem to know how to get stronger, so it can only make itself bigger."

"Getting bigger is part of evolution, but it's definitely not necessary...... I used the larger shark shark as a giant warship, equipped with all kinds of high-energy artillery, and armed it to the teeth using the technology of the pre-era civilization, but I felt that this should not be a serious way to advance the shark series. ”

Just like humans, from essentia, to soul, and then to the fusion of the two to form the life spirit energy and the psychic body, Ian feels that the shark shark should also condense the soul at the second energy level, and then derive its own spiritual energy.

Next, according to the type of psionic energy, the subsequent progression route is decided.

"The soul has a lot to do with efficient thinking, and if sharks want to think faster, they need to reshape their neural networks with precious metals like silver and gold."

Ian had determined last time that the Ironclad Shark was essentially a man-made biological tool, and its mind upgrade was actually similar to a computer upgrade, requiring better and sharper materials to make 'CPUs' and motherboards, so if you just want the Shark to advance normally, just let it drink more precious metal solutions.

But the problem is, better.

How do you make a computer, or rather, a metal life, use its physical strengths and characteristics more efficiently?

The answer is......

"It has to be able to reinvent itself, upgrade itself, and master its own energy......"

Ian stopped weighing the silver ingots in his hand, and thought of the box sent by Master Gosai, and the shimmering crystal in the box: "It's electricity." ”

"It's electricity!"

At this moment, the teenager gradually had an idea in his mind: "electromagnetism, optoelectronics...... As my teacher told me back then, it's easy to find the inheritance of advanced materials in the South China Sea......"

"Mine-hunting jellyfish communicate their thoughts with each other through electric currents,"

"Aurora Titan!" His eyes widened: "Yes, this is it!" ”
