Chapter 429: Where the Shark Lovers Come From (2/3)
Just as Ian was suspicious, a stout elf with no clothes on, but wrapped in vines and foliage, walked towards him on foot.
He looked natural, as if he was strolling through his own home: "Yes, that means you." Cute ice goblin, who else do you think there will be? β
This elf was very tall, more than two and a half meters tall, and Ian could only reach his chest in front of him, even if he was sitting on a camel beast, he was a little lower.
The vines on his body were unusually densely entangled, even resembling some kind of plant vine armor, and the outermost vines were even translucent, with a dark blue fluorescent liquid flowing inside.
Woody roots clinged to the sides of his cheeks, and behind his ears grew two long, sickle-shaped leaves, standing tall and erect like some kind of horn or antenna.
If it feels primitive, it would be a big mistake, and Ian can see at a glance that this vine is not an ordinary tree vine at all, but some kind of sublimation plant, and it has been carefully blended, a bit similar to the Aether Armed Gloom of the Eren family.
In other words, it's a biological equipment, a living armor!
"Is your companion a steel-armored shark?"
The tall elf came to Ian's side, and compared to this oppressive body, his voice was very gentle and magnetic, which could make people feel reassured in an instant, and even the somewhat panicked camel beast calmed down: "I sense its breath from you...... It's only recently advanced, it's full of potential, and it's incredibly healthy. β
His tone was very emotional: "I haven't seen such a healthy steel armored shark in Canaan Moore for decades, if it weren't for the urgency, I really wanted to see that cute little guy." β
"Hello...... I think it should be thankful for your compliments. β
It was the first time Ian had seen a third-level in the true sense of the word, and he replied with some caution, "Do you like sharks?" β
"Maybe it's a blind date."
The tall elf grinned, and a row of shark teeth was clearly displayed, giving a dangerous but harmonious sense of contradiction: "But the main thing is that I have never seen such a healthy shark." You're really good, you're a goblin, and you can raise small animals, flowers and plants. β
He looked at the white hair in Ian's hood: "That little goblin is also quite healthy, but Nanling is too hot and not very energetic, make a small cold storage for it, and it will be able to advance soon." β
"Thank you very much for the point."
Surprised and delighted, Ian could see that there were no humans in the eyes of this oak master, he could only see his own fairy blood and sharks, and he was more interested in sharks than himself.
As for Frostbutterfly's situation, Ian had already thought about it, but Master Oak's hint proved it thoroughly.
"Don't bother you, General's guest."
The tall elf stretched out his hand and patted Ian on the shoulder, he turned around, and laughed: "Sure enough, you have to go out from time to time to see, how can there be such a healthy shark, the wonder of nature is comparable to the ecological laboratory." β
Master Oak came and went in a hurry, his personality was far from what Ian imagined the Master Elven to be, he was approachable or not, but it was not quite right to say that no one was doing his own thing, presenting a strange sense of contradiction, but quite harmonious.
As for the other party, he deliberately ran over to say hello to himself......
Ian tilted his head to look at the 'left' thing that Master Oak had patted on his shoulder......
"Hey."
The young man shook his head slightly, and said in his heart: "It seems that he is being used as an intermediary in the fighting method...... It's not a bad thing, at least it's not malicious to me. β
"But how exactly did he see that I was 'me' and how did he find me from the crowd?"
Maybe it's still his own fairy blood and the breath of frost butterflies.
There are indeed few goblins in Nanling, and even fewer of them are water attributes, and if you see one occasionally, plus the goblin you carry with you, you should be able to confirm it.
It's just such a keen breath sense......
"Fortunately, I learned the secret method of concealment from the Dragon Worship Sect, otherwise, the other party would be able to see my ancient dragon core at a glance."
Watching Master Oak's procession disappear down the road to a coastal town to the south, Ian turned his head and continued toward Nauman City.
The bustle of D.C. is more bustling than that of Twin Trees, but it's a place full of businessmen, with expansive Sycamore Square surrounded by all sorts of billboards and agencies, and at least five different signs pointing to different shops on the walls of the hotel.
The only good thing is that there are more literate people in Nauman City, and when they see Ian's alchemist sign and the alchemy potion with a skull, they will obediently avoid approaching, so that there will be illiterate thieves coming up to steal.
At the very least, they recognize the potion.
Along the way, he found the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce, and with the help of the staff who had long known that Ian would come, the boy settled his luggage, and then changed into the clothes that Mr. Yinfang had communicated in advance and asked the Chamber of Commerce in the city to prepare for him for the Marquis's dinner.
"The marquis doesn't like dresses - the more fancy they are, the more they don't like it, but you're not a soldier, and he won't be happy if you really wear armor in the past, he will only feel that you haven't been on the battlefield, how can you be embarrassed to pretend like this."
When he was in Twin Trees, Mr. Yinfang gave this advice.
He was indeed familiar with the Marquis of Barton, and personally purchased a set of clothes for Ian: "Are you planning to go as an alchemist, or a knight in Port Harrison?" Former? Then wear a formal robe, the kind that you can wear when you fight, at least he will think you are more capable. β
The robe that Mr. Silverfang prepared for Ian was an alchemical robe with black edges on a white background, the robe hung down to the calf, and a circle of silver metal star studs on the edge of the hem as an ornament to avoid being lifted up.
The belt was naturally the same alchemist belt that Ian had brought with him, and he fastened it tightly, and he also wore it in his belt bag, because 'how can an alchemist look professional if he doesn't bring alchemical potions?' βγ Mr. Silverfang was well aware that the Marquis liked professionals and respected technicians.
Other than that, there is nothing else. Ian looked at his gear and felt that it did fit, but it wasn't really suitable for adventure.
It's not that it's a matter of material, this alchemy robe has a texture similar to silk, but it's actually made of some kind of insect silk thread, which is tough enough to resist swords, and it's not difficult to layer a layer of armor on the inner lining.
It's really not good, just open the button, and wear a leather armor inside, although it is not good-looking, but practical.
It wasn't for the adventure, mainly because of the colorβit was so white, almost the same shade as his own hair, and when the time came, it would be a hassle to splash mud and water, dust and leaves to fall, and to wash the dirty ones.
"Why do you have to dress me in white? This is true of the Viscount, and so is Mr. Silverfang. Ian thought helplessly: "I actually prefer lake green and golden red, but unfortunately these two shades really don't go well together......"
He has never been very interested in dressing, but formal dressing for formal occasions is not only a courtesy to other people, but also a sign of respect for himself.
Freshly rejuvenated, Ian walked out of the Chamber of Commerce and headed for Uptown, his lack of a hood, so every now and then someone would glance at him.
When he walked across the bridge of the Naumanwei River, there were no guards to check his identity, perhaps because Ian's appearance was too obvious, coupled with his natural demeanor and neat clothes, he felt that he didn't need to look it up at all, and he could find it at a glance.
It was only when he approached the street where the Governor's Palace was located that a knight politely asked Ian about his identity, and when he saw the badge given by the Marquis of Batun, he himself led him into the front yard.
But Ian didn't feel that Uptown was poorly guarded.
"All the way through, there were five people staring at me all the way, twenty-three different people snooping...... I'm afraid that even a fly flies in this place are being watched, right? β
"Oh, forgot, there are no flies and pests in Uptown."
Bright humanoids in the vision of foresight and silver chips were almost everywhere, and Ian even suspected that he was entering a high-secret barracks rather than a bustling city streetβeven the top of the towering alchemy workshop tower was filled with binoculars to look through the city.
"I'm not afraid of being struck by a thunderbolt on a rainy day."
