"Why haven't you replied to me yet? Got a problem with the review? ”

However, until the afternoon, after Ian's experiment was completed, he had not yet seen the news of the association in his contact crystal board.

This couldn't help but surprise Ian - he didn't come up with a new theory this time, but just published a paper in the name of improving the potion, although it was a bit shocking for his age, but pharmacy was constantly improving.

In fact, before Ian, there were already many people who had tried to transform the magic weapon potion, but it was a bit difficult, and there was a lot of need for repeated experiments, and not everyone had Ian's prophetic psionic ability and the Ellen family's sufficient budget, so they didn't make it to the end.

Ian didn't intend to monopolize his reputation either, he had already contacted the other alchemists he had cited and reached an agreement, so that the guild should be able to give a result soon.

But the result was not, he waited for almost a week, and the most preliminary audit and warehousing notice was not issued.

"Isn't there really a noble alchemist from somewhere who hacked my paper and plans to change it to his own name?"

Even Ian couldn't help but think of this very pompous possible development in his mind, but in fact this kind of thing really happened.

At that time, when the land defender Axel had just succeeded to the throne, an alchemist from the grassroots was forcibly robbed of his research results by an aristocratic alchemist, but there was really no way to ask for help, no one helped him at all, and no one believed that it was his research results.

But fortunately, Axel, who succeeded to the throne, immediately launched a purge of the old aristocratic system, and the result is needless to say, the lucky alchemist has a happy ending, and the oppressive nobles are ruined.

Since then, most of the newly emerging aristocratic forces will not, at least not do such tasteless things so arrogantly.

Shaking his head and shaking off his illusions, Ian contacted the association and asked about his dissertation review.

Two pieces of bad news.

The bad news is that no one has taken Ian's paper by force, it's just that there have been too many things in the association lately to review it.

Now Ian can't show his academic ability by slapping the brainless aristocracy in the face, and by the way, he will become famous in the imperial capital and promote his theory of 'extremely powerful potion'.

It's a shame that an opportunity for exposure and free advertising is missing.

The person in charge said that they were sorry and that they would expedite the review as soon as possible, but they should not think about it until the end of the month.

The other bad news is that the big one is coming.

"What's coming?"

When he heard this, Ian was a little confused.

Of course, the original words of the person in charge of the Alchemy Association could not be such simple and easy-to-understand words as 'the big one is coming', he said it very modestly, which roughly means that the Imperial Alchemy Association will have an extremely important task to complete for some reason recently, and the danger of this task is quite high, and several masters will participate.

After hearing the young man's inquiry, the person in charge once again tactfully reminded that an alchemist of Ian's level was also easy to be selected, and maybe Ian would know what was big by then.

When this kind of thing is said, it means that Ian will definitely not be elected - to put it bluntly, it is just perfunctory.

The Riddler is really damned.

With a wave of indignation against the Riddler, Ian frowned slightly, and instead had some guesses in his heart: "It's the power furnace of the sixth generation of space armor, right?" The armor of the Republic of Ganthrigham is developing too fast, and even the assault armor that can fly several times the speed of sound under normal conditions can be lined up and implemented, while the empire is still stuck in the completion of the power furnace. ”

Air combat armor and land warfare and naval combat armor furnace core is very different, not only the power output is higher, but also needs to be more stable, to ensure that the armor can complete a variety of difficult maneuvers.

The level of the empire's alchemy furnace heart is actually the first in the world, but it is lagging behind in the sixth generation of armor, and it is natural to ask the alchemy masters of relevant aspects to attack in the past.

But the question is, what does this have to do with Ian? He is currently an alchemist specializing in potions.

And, why 'dangerous'?

To tell the truth, Ian has been studying a bit behind closed doors lately, digesting knowledge, so he doesn't care much about the outside news. But it's only been two months, what else can happen?

And it happened.

When Master Gosai learned of Ian's movements, he sent a special communication to inform Ian of the answer.

Recently, the battle situation in the Western Plains, on the side of the Grand Duke of Thorin, and the Flying Flame Lands has deteriorated.

As the spy war heats up, the struggle between the Flamelands and the Empire becomes more and more intense.

After spearheading the use of biological weapons in the Flavour Lands, Imperial spies unleashed a large number of parasitic floaters along the coast of the Flare Lands - the larvae of these mosquitoes parasitize the native schools of fish, killing the fish and using their carcasses as nests to thrive, and the secretions of the floaters accelerate the growth of coastal algae and poison the sea.

On the other hand, the Flying Flame Land has also released a large number of extremely bad corrupt fungi into the territory of the Empire, infecting large areas of farmland and forests in the West, and the beasts and demonic beasts living in it have also been corrupted and parasitized by the fungus, entering a berserk state.

The situation is not obvious because of the good self-purification ability of Nanling, and there is no change in Port Harrison, but it is said that a large number of refugees have poured out from the western border, and among these refugees there are also spies from the Flying Flame Land, which specialize in spreading the fungus to various places.

It is not the way to do it, but it is necessary to develop a special agent for this hatching fungus or to contain the organism as soon as possible.

And all the research of biological alchemy weapons is 'dangerous'.

That's why the Royal Alchemy Society has been so busy lately – in fact, they've been working overtime for a month.

No wonder there was no time to review Ian's paper.

Ian couldn't help even if he wanted to do this - he was too young and too 'new'.

Although it is true that the boy cannot be a spy of the Flying Flame Land, similar biological weapons offensive and defensive battles have always been safe, and a new elite alchemist like Ian is impossible to join the team unless it is really useless.

There is nothing Ian can do about this, qualifications, prestige and fame are indeed what he lacks the most, and strength can only make up for part of it, but it still takes time to grind.

"How many refugees have been sent out of the West...... If you send it like this, everyone will be empty, right? What the hell is Grand Duke Thorin thinking......"

From a different perspective, Ian looked back at the operation in the West, and couldn't help but be confused by Grand Duke Thorin's choice: "The current direction of the world is roughly similar to the path of the hive, but the empire has discovered that something is wrong with Grand Duke Thorin, and in recent times, there has indeed been a spread of 'the Grand Duke has reached a cooperation with the Flying Flame Land', and it is estimated that there will be some action before the end of the year." ”

"The question is, why?"

"Of course, Grand Duke Thorin can blame the Empire for ignoring him and wanting to consume his strength against the Flamelands, but his cooperation with the Flamelands is to poison his own territory? How can there be such a lord...... This matter is not right, no matter how stupid the Grand Duke of Thorin is, it is impossible for him to expend his true strength to take revenge on the Empire. ”

"If he's not stupid, there's something wrong with him. And it's a big problem. ”

Thinking of this, Ian decided to suspend the alchemy experiment and gather news about the Grand Duke's side of the West from various sources.

Then, he received a message from the channel of the Dragon Worship that made him extremely confused and uneasy.

Just as he had anticipated at the time of the train hijacking.

Theo and Lübeck, who went to raid the Flame Lands, were identified and captured.

Moreover, Flying Flame Land uses special means to restrain Theo's dragon soul through the connection in the prosthetic body.
