Chapter 424: The Weakness of the Prophet (3/3)
Dusk has arrived, the sun is fading into the mountains of Baisen, and the purple and blue sky is slowly turning to blue and gray.
The moonlight gradually envelops the town of Twin Trees.
Because of the raid of the 'Bailong Sect', the garrison of Shuangshu Town has become tight, and there has also been a large-scale escape from the prison in Nauman City at noon today, and even the guards patrolling are more vigilant than usual.
It's just that all these methods used to raise vigilance are of little use to a sublimator who wants to deliberately hide his whereabouts.
When Mr. Silverfang saw Ian in his robe appear safe and sound in his chamber of commerce, he was greatly relieved, but his emotions were not so surprising.
Of course, the old man was still very concerned on the surface, and it could even be said that he was 'taken aback'.
For ordinary people, this disguise was sufficient, but for Ian, he could tell that Mr. Silverfang had been informed that he was okay before he returned.
Even when he left and when he arrived already knew eight or nine.
- Sure enough, the background behind Mr. Yinfang is the Dragon Worship Sect.
Ian knew in his heart that it was no wonder that a merchant who was not an ascendant could be appreciated by the Marquis of Barton, and become a wealthy man without being spied on by other nobles and sublimators......
But at the same time, Ian was on the lookout.
In the future, if he encounters a person like Mr. Yinfang, who has no strength on the surface but is actually not low-status, he will definitely not underestimate the other party.
Maybe there's some big force lurking behind it!
"Thankfully, you're back with all your beards and tails—my knight, if you make even the slightest mistake, how can I, an old bone, have the face to see your family......"
With a long sigh, the old gentleman held the young man's hand tightly.
Mr. Silverfang was 100% sincere in this sentence, and he was frightened by Ian's 'reckless decision'.
In the middle of the night, he was raided by the mysterious sublimator, and then he didn't hesitate to turn around and chase the other party who was suspected of cheating.
It's outrageous just to say it.
Even if you have spiritual energy and can see that the other party's strength is lower than your own, you can't do this...... Is it possible to guarantee that the other party will be able to hide their strength, or is there any danger to sublimate the props, or even simpler, a backhand directly to charge the alchemy gun?
"I understand, I'm sorry, sir, for worrying you."
And Ian gave Mr. Silverfang a hug, and his words of sorry were also sincere.
This adventure, which was decided because of the 'chance' of foreseeing the horizon, did make him gain a lot, not only to get to know Anfa, Xi'ou and Elder Manya, and others, to open up the network of the Dragon Worship Sect, but also to obtain the materials for the fourth organ of the Sand Armor apprentice.
The main difficulty is that in order to avoid suspicion, Ian can't buy the relevant materials in Port Harrison, and it is difficult to find the right one when he goes hunting.
There is a channel for worshipping dragons, and it is much more convenient for a middleman who does not ask so many middlemen.
Ian even had a hunch that he was about to start preparing, and the second-level materials for the Sand Armor apprentice basically had to be obtained through the channel of the Dragon Worship Sect.
After meeting and reporting safety, Ian went to speak with Viscount Grant, Elder Pudd, and Elam.
The Viscount seriously criticized Ian's unconspiracy this time, and reminded Ian that there was a force in Southridge that seemed to be operating in the shadows recently, trying to upset the balance of Southridge.
He thought that if Ian sensed that something was wrong and was not afraid of being embarrassed, he could just stay in Nauman City, he just needed a spokesperson in the capital, and if Ian was there, he wouldn't have to send the Yam Knight out.
After all, Viscount Grant didn't know the details behind so many events, for which Ian expressed his gratitude, but insisted on going to the Imperial Capital, as Master Gosai's guidance and the onboarding of the Platinum Workshop would need to be completed there.
Not to mention the assessment of the patrol knights, if the Marquis of Barton agreed to Ian to become the apprentice of the patrol knights, the assessment would have to go to the imperial capital.
In this case, considering the final gains, Viscount Grant decided not to interfere with Ian's experience. At the end of the day, as long as he remembered this lesson, he was confident that Ian would never put himself in danger.
The hardest person to fool has fooled, and Elder Pud and Elder Elan are obviously not worried about Ian at all - Elan's psionic potential is manifested in super-sensing power, and when he is emotional, he can know the state of Ian and Elder Pudd, the two people he cares about.
"Don't be too arrogant." Here's the advice Elder Pud left behind: "You think you're smart, that's true. ”
"But how big is the world? Even if there is no one smarter than you, there are always many like you. Don't believe too much in 'wisdom'. ”
The word "wisdom" implied by the elders meant "prophet." And Ian thought so.
Although it is likely that the Gnosis Institute is doing prophetic experiments, and it is not true that there are so many prophetic items circulating in the world, this also proves that the big forces in the Terra world have some anti-prophecy or prophecy abilities.
It can even be said that in a transcendent world with a clear prophetic lineage, a great power does not have the ability to prophecy and counter-prophecy......
How strong does it have to be to not be destroyed?
However, after confirming this, Ian was much more relaxed.
Because he is actually based on the intelligent monitoring and prediction system of his birthplace, that is, the 'Earth Federation', as a substitute simulation object for the 'Prophet of the Great Power'.
And now, after seeing the lineage of another prophet, Ian understands that any prophet has limitations, and this limitation is very great, it can be said that it is only specialized in one aspect, far less than an intelligent network that envelops the whole world.
At most, it has an advantage in predicting the future.
Compared to other prophetic psionic abilities, the advantage of foresight is that it can see trends at any time.
There are no conditions for the Prophetic Horizon, and he can detect the existence of the other party's prophet at the first moment - as long as Ian can't see the change in the trend and can't see the other party's fog, he can be sure.
In this case, his own advantage as a prophet who cannot be prophesied is actually greater than he imagined.
After all, Ian's prophecy requires only physical strength, which can be turned on whenever needed, while other prophets may not.
But Elder Budd was right.
Ian knew very well that he could not blindly trust his own psionic powers, and that he should indeed be more vigilant when it came to important matters.
"Brother, look, the flowers are blooming!"
As for Elan, although he misses Ian a little, he has long been accustomed to studying and living alone...... Over the years, Ian spent most of his time with him, in fact, the teenager worked on the side, while the boy played or studied on the side.
Not to mention, after awakening the psionic potential, Elan didn't feel that his brother was far away from him—he could know about Ian's situation as long as he wanted to. At the very least, you can feel the emotional resonance.
After the meditation training at the Huaiguang Church, Qingchao accompanied him everywhere to fish and catch shells, and discussed flowers and plants with the treasurer Lamar, and his life was quite happy.
That's enough.
At this moment, the little boy was describing to Ian the pot of fluffy land in his hand through the communication device, which looked like a dandelion, but it was larger and not so easy to shed its hair.
He said that the flower feels very good, and it feels like the leopard blanket that Ian brought back last time.
"That's nice, but be careful with allergies."
Elan's laughter sounded quite sunny, and Ian couldn't help but laugh together.
After spending some money on Mr. Silverfang, and chatting with the family for a while, Ian closed it.
He stood in front of the communication device and was silent for a while, his gaze slightly dazed.
Unconsciously, he has real family and friends in this world, his own family and companions, and his own 'power'.
Although it is still very small, it is still very inconspicuous, and it is even just a prototype.
But there is, there is.
"I've got a weakness. The weakness of the prophet comes down to the people around him. ”
Muttering to himself, staring at the communication device in front of him, Ian chuckled, "It's funny, it's a good feeling." ”
"It's time to move on."
With such a sense of urgency and full of motivation, Ian borrowed Mr. Silverfang's alchemy laboratory and began to prepare the relevant semi-potions for the apprentice of sand armor.
Two hours and forty minutes later, the half-potion related to the 'Iron Dissolving Stomach Sac' was freshly baked.
