Ian's tone was tinged with a hint of nervousness and solemnity: "And why talk to me—even though I think I'm a genius—but at the end of the day, it's just a little guy of the first level?" ”

"Because for more than 20 years, I have been patrolling the entire empire with my heart light, raising pigs with my own hands, feeding chickens, and baking biscuits and bread in the fields. Honestly, I'll bet Ian, you're not as good at cooking as I am, I know the seventeen local cuisines of Terra, and I can even make a good marching meal. ”

Holding the back of his head with his hands, Mikael tilted his head easily, looked up at the ceiling, and said with a smile: "Surprised? Don't think too much of royalty, we have brains. The Settar dynasty lasted for nearly a thousand years, longer than the Terra calendar, and even produced an incredible emperor like his grandfather - a fool could not become an ascendant, let alone a fourth level. ”

"As for why I ...... you?"

The blonde prince repeated this sentence once, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and his gaze relaxed: "Maybe a little narcissistic." ”

"Because I see myself in you, and I had this idea when we first met, that you and I are the same kind."

"I know very well that you are such a genius, that you have the potential to become a legend like the great master Friedrich - if you let go of your hands and do it, you can change the world, I have this hunch, and I am convinced of my hunch."

"But you're going in the wrong direction. Ian, I'm here to tell you. ”

"Don't continue to study the path of 'simplifying and popularizing alchemical potions'. It's a path that looks good, but turns out badly. ”

"The cul-de-sac that grandfather walked, I don't want you to walk again."

also said something narcissistic, and Ian also didn't think it was strange for the other party to talk to him about this.

He is the first energy level less than sixteen years old, a psionic person, an elite alchemist, with courage, decision-making, merit and actionability, and the resources in the future can almost be said to be stable to the third energy level and alchemy master - and even the latter is estimated to be within four or five years.

The second prince ran over to remind him that it was really normal, because it involved the future of an alchemy master related to him...... At the end of the day, it won't take him half an hour.

Wasting half an hour on Mikael, the second prince, Ian still has this qualification.

"What dead end?"

At this moment, Ian's brow furrowed, and he just right—and perhaps really puzzled—showed a negative expression of his research direction, and his tone became a little intense.

Ian is as vigorous as a real young genius: "I have always found it strange that the raw materials of alchemy potions are not expensive, but the expensive thing is the alchemist's service fee, and my set of techniques can allow the alchemist to increase the service fee and make the product available to more people." ”

"That should be a good thing."

"It's a good thing."

Mikael was turning his head, he looked at Ian, stared at Ian's somewhat unwilling eyes, and said calmly, "So what I said is, don't continue researching." ”

"Because if you continue to study, you will leave the frontier of alchemy and step into the abyss of popularization and practical technology."

To be honest, Ian didn't understand what Mikael was talking about at first - what kind of abyss is the practical use of technology? All technologies need to be put into practice

But soon, he reacted and kind of understood what the second prince really meant.

- Sublimators do not need to be technically practical...... They themselves can directly convert technology into power. Only ordinary people, ordinary people who can't use essentia, psionic energy, and can't use their bodies as tools to directly use technology...... It needs to be practical.

"You mean ......"

Ian's tone was a little harsh: "I want to delve into the deeper theory of alchemy, to develop techniques on how to make potions stronger, not more...... Serving the strong and not the common man? ”

Because this sentence was so direct that he didn't even know how to say it tactfully.

But what Ian didn't expect was that Mikael was also silent because of this sentence.

“…… Grandfather had always thought of something very grand. ”

After a long while, the second prince slowly spoke, and talked about another topic that seemed to have nothing to do with before: "He has a very, very big dream, that dream is the source of his psychic power, that incredible dream and desire made him one of the most powerful psionic beings in the Terra Continent at that time, only the first knight, the immovable city Hilliard, knows the whole of that dream." ”

"For the sake of this country and for the people living on this land, from the most ordinary people to the highest aristocratic royal family, he has made many decisions that later generations criticized or secretly appreciated...... How can I say it, even a genius like me, after seeing what my grandfather has done in his life, has nothing to compare with him in his heart except admiration. ”

"Where is it, everyone is more or less self-aware, and people who don't have self-knowledge can't go up to the third energy level."

"In short, neither the Black King, nor the Tyrant, nor the Great Emperor can sum up the heart of the grandfather. He loves everyone so much, hopes that everyone can be happy, ordinary people can be treated with healing agents when they are injured, they can protect themselves with anti-damage drugs when they encounter danger, every family has meat to eat, a house to live and good clothes to wear, and every family has dreams and pursuits. ”

"And the sublimator can also pursue his dreams, become stronger and greater, and transform the world."

With that, Mikael and Ian looked at each other.

He uttered three words.

"He's dead."

Mikael was even laughing when he said this, but Ian could only hear a sigh: "There are many people who help him, and the First Knight demolished half of the imperial capital for him - don't you believe it, at that time, there was a major earthquake in the entire plain around the imperial capital, and the lower city was almost rebuilt in recent years, the buildings in the middle city were destroyed by a quarter, the upper city on the top floor was blown away by a third, and there was a black iron mountain in the north, that is, the wreckage of the imperial capital that was cut down by the first knight's sword." ”

"But my grandfather died. So powerful and invincible, I watched my grandfather, who felt so small, die...... You can understand that, right? If you've seen your grandfather's manuscripts, you'll understand just how amazing he was...... But he still failed. ”

"And decades later, those who supported my grandfather back then called him the Black Tyrant."

Mikael seems to have assumed that Ian is the one who inherited the alchemy of Inaga II, because their thinking is extremely similar, which may not be confirmed to others, but for the second prince, who is the heir of Inaga II, Ian even reminds him a little of the past.

Reminiscing about his grandfather and the First Knight, the two seemed to become one in this teenager.

Of course, he simply attributed it to Ian who had inherited the manuscript of Inaga II, and did not think much of it elsewhere - Mikael's powerful inspiration for the truth was ignored by himself.

Ian sensed the slight gaffe of the second prince, and he actually wanted to sigh a little.

But in the end, he was still in disguise.

Disguised as confusion that doesn't know whether it's true or not.

"Isn't this imperial propaganda?" The white-haired young man asked puzzledly, "Isn't this a propaganda strategy made by the empire to discredit the first emperor?" ”

Hearing this, Mikael shook his head and walked out of his loss.

He laughed and teased: "Look, even such a smart person thinks so, let alone ordinary people? ”

"Think about it, Ian, in order to show its legitimacy, the new dynasty on the Yanjiang side must prove the authority of the previous dynasty, Inaga is Grandpa Ju, my father's father, and it is not the Dark Moon Turmoil set off by my father, he is such a smart person would do this, and degrade the throne he has gained?"

"You don't think that the Dark Moon Turmoil is just an internal matter of the Empire, do you? The one who first called my grandfather the Black Tyrant was not our Imperial people themselves...... It was really called like this, but it was the Mighty Ridge Castle and the Heavenly King's Court. ”
