"Big problem!"

The member of the Dragon Worship Sect who contacted Ian was Pansha, the grandson of Elder Manya, and the mountain people's foreign trade presiding officer spoke to Ian in a solemn tone at the moment, telling Ian about the current bad situation.

"Lord Theo is actually very cautious, he knows that his disguise is not very good, so he has not officially appeared from beginning to end, but only uses the dragon soul perception to help find the location of the group of villains in the Flying Flame Land...... As a result, the enemy may have spies among us to deliver the news, and the men of Grand Duke Thorin and the Flying Flame Land have long been guarding the perimeter in advance, directly capturing Lord Theo and Lübeck and their team. ”

"After that, Lord Xi'o originally wanted to take back the dragon soul, but the other party used some kind of special psionic ritual, relying on the trace of dragon soul in the adult's prosthetic body, and in turn imprisoned the adult's dragon soul!"

"Don't worry."

Ian took a deep breath, then calmly said, "What did the King of the Mountain say?" ”

"Something happened to the king, he said some time ago that he had found the remains of the ice dragon four hundred years ago, and he has not yet returned—but we think that the king must have been plotted as well, and even the enemy's target was the king from the beginning......"

Although Pansha seems to be very aggressive, he is actually a careful man, and his account of Ian is very detailed and clear: "The king himself does not need us to worry, after all, if the king cannot escape, it is useless for us to try—the problem is how to save Lord Theo." ”

"What can I do?"

Ian calmly asked, "Do you need intelligence from the West, or potions?" If there is anything else you need help with, please don't hesitate to let us know. ”

"Huh?"

Pansha was a little surprised, he didn't seem to expect Ian to be willing to help: "But, Ian, you haven't been in the Dragon Worship Sect for a long time...... Although you are also a dragon blood holder, you can now develop well in the imperial capital, which is the greatest help to us. ”

"After all......" he smiled bitterly, "if something really happens...... I mean, after all, we have to prepare for the worst. ”

"If that's the case, we probably have to wait for you to come back and preside over the overall situation in the future."

To put it nicely, I don't expect Ian to be of any help.

Ian was silent for a moment, and he wasn't surprised by that.

His age and strengths are also weaknesses, and the advantage is that everyone thinks he has a promising future, is willing to invest resources, and is willing to protect him.

The disadvantage is that no one thinks that Ian can really do anything now, whether it is the Alchemy Association's research on biological warfare that has not been said to him from beginning to end, or the Dragon Worship Sect has not said bad news until he asks.

It's protection.

Just like the elders didn't want their situation to affect the juniors who were studying seriously, everyone felt that Ian should improve his alchemy now, and he had more important things to do in the future.

So for now, forget it.

"Ugh." He sighed in his heart and took out the spiritual protection necklace that Theo had given him from his arms: "What is the problem?" Theo's body should be specialized in soul and spirit, and a single scale is enough to protect all of the first level and some of the second level from damage and curse psionic energy. ”

"His deformed body gives his soul extra strength, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be so easily plotted."

"But in other words, if someone is eyeing this, they are deliberately plotting against Xiou...... Xiou, who didn't expect this, with his intelligence, it is indeed difficult to have any countermeasures. ”

- It should be the Book of Silver Yao.

The Book of Silver Yao was stolen, and there must have been some of the skills related to the True Dragon...... In other words, the reason why the Nanling Dragon Worship Sect cares so much about the Book of Silver Yao may be because there is some kind of method that can target Xi'o's 'freak dragon' state.

It can be treated, but it can also be restrained. So this time, I'm afraid that Xiou really sent it to the door himself.

With his mind racing, Ian ignored Pansha's slightly pessimistic tone, he still said calmly: "Recently, the empire and the Flying Flame Land have been fighting a big biological war, and it is said that the Western Plains are already full of all kinds of wild beasts, and the Flying Flame Land may have established a stronghold in such a chaotic environment and captured Xi'o and others. ”

"But I know that the Empire is about to launch a counterattack, and I will be able to tell you the specific time later, if you really want to rescue Theo and them, it should be the best chance to launch it while the Empire is counterattacking."

"Contact Marquis Batun, the empire may be a bit big, but at least the Southridge Province will not want the chaos in the western realm to spread to the Southridge, and they should not refuse the Dragon Worshipper's plan to help them destroy the Flying Flame Land."

"Ian ......"

Pansha was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "Very important information." Thank you so much. ”

"No thanks." Ian analyzed the information he had, translating it into words and saying, "What about Elder Cliff? He must be investigating who the enemy really is, right? You tell him that although it is ostensibly the Gnostic Courtyard and the Flamelands, it is actually the Grand Duke of Thorin. ”

"The Gnostic Academy cooperated with Grand Duke Thorin, and at the same time, Grand Duke Thorin cooperated with Flying Flame Land - the one who blocked Theo's soul should be the 'Book of Silver Yao', which was originally stored in the Imperial Royal Library, but was stolen by the Gnostic Academy and used as a related experimental ......"

When he said this, Ian was suddenly stunned for a moment, because he thought that the experiments conducted by the Gnostic Institute in Ryan Collar also seemed to be about souls and psionic powers......

It seems that the Gnostic Institute should have obtained experimental materials in the western realm, and then conducted experiments in a relatively peaceful place in Nanling.

And in the Western Plains, they must also have a large-scale experimental center, at least the kind of experiments that require more materials must be carried out there.

And with the depth of cooperation between Grand Duke Thorin and Flameland, this laboratory is definitely not just for the Gnostic. There's definitely a part of the Flamelands in that too.

In other words, the headquarters of the Flying Flame Lands in the Westplains should also be nearby.

In the past, Xi'ou and the others did find the headquarters of the Flying Flame Land Special Operations Force, but it was basically equivalent to throwing themselves into the net.

"Things are getting in trouble."

Ian's brow furrowed, and he thought about all the things and everyone he had passed since he left Port Harrison, and realized that things could be more complicated than anyone had imagined.

- The Hive Pathway, who defeated the independent Grand Duchy of Thorin.

The memory of the foreknowledge dream was weightless, and it didn't even meet any decent resistance.

If you think about it carefully, it may be that the Grand Duchy of Thorin has been almost plagued a long time ago.

A large number of refugees from the West have been relocated, and the Flamelands and the Gnostic Courtyard and even the Grand Duke of Thorin himself have come and gone back to the land.

It's the Gnostic Institute experiment and the Flying Flame Land biological warfare, and people who can really stay in this kind of ghost place are either crazy or stupid.

But the premise of this thinking is that Grand Duke Thorin is a retarded man who takes pleasure in torturing himself and his own basic plate.

But he clearly wasn't.

The question is, what is his real purpose?

Ian's hunch told him that this was crucial...... On the surface, it seems that it is only the Flame Land and the Gnosis Academy that use the power of the Grand Duke Thorin to achieve their own goals, but in fact, it is the Grand Duke of Thorin who uses the technology of the Gnosis Institute and the Flame Land to achieve his goals.

"Could it be that it was at this time that the Grand Duke became independent? But it's too early for the Hive Trail - is anything going on? ”

Everything was vaguely connected in the boy's mind, and he vaguely sensed that a huge conspiracy was taking shape.

Grand Duke Thorin, at the cost of his own territory as a place for the two countries to clash, gathered the biotechnology of the Flying Flame Land and the soul psionic technology of the Gnosis Academy, and his ultimate goal was definitely beyond everyone's imagination.

That is probably a force that can affect the situation in the world.

But it was difficult for Ian to express this instinctive danger to the others, so he could only say to Pansha, "That's the general situation, I'll go to the Patrol Knights to ask about the situation again." ”

“…… I'll relay the news to my grandfather. ”

The mountain people said seriously: "But it's still the same sentence, Ian, you still put self-assurance first. We believe that the king will definitely be able to get out of trouble, and when the time comes, the matter will naturally be resolved. ”

"If the king can't...... You still don't want to be exposed. ”

- Don't be exposed? What are you kidding, is there anyone who doesn't know that I'm a dragon worshipper?

"I understand."

Ian couldn't help but feel a little helpless, obviously, Pansha still didn't quite understand how strong the empire's intelligence network was, if it was Elder Manya, he would definitely not be able to say such a formulaic word.

After finishing the communication, Ian closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

He then left the laboratory and headed to the garrison of the Knights of the Patrol.
