As Pansha said, Ian himself didn't really want to muddy the waters.

It's not that the identity of the Dragon Worship Sect is exposed, it's not that it's an inconsequential part, the main thing is that he can only show the strength of the first-level goblin in front of others, and the restrictions are too great.

But if you don't follow the Empire, it's too dangerous to act alone.

The boy didn't know what was going on in the West, and he didn't know what to prepare.

Although Theo is indeed a good man, a good man and a good dragon, it is up to Ian to risk his life and exposure to save him...... Even Theo himself may think it's outrageous.

"But I can't do nothing, I'm going to be in a bad mood."

Ian thought, "At least he gave me a piece of jewelry, so I'll have to help out." ”

"Given enough information, for the Cliff Elders, it is no different from my personal estimate."

If others treat him well, he will inevitably reciprocate, unless the reciprocation itself will put him in danger.

This is Ian's credo in the world.

Knights of the Patrol, Lower City, garrisoned in the fortress area.

This place is in full swing, many teams are gathering, all kinds of transport vehicles and even flying cars are taking off and landing here, and the noisy communication sound is endless, obviously there is a big move.

And Ian also saw acquaintances here - Tress also gathered his team here, and just after the lecture, the knight also saw the boy.

"Ian? I haven't seen you in a while. ”

The tall knight was a little surprised, and he smiled and waved at Ian, "What, you also got a notice?" ”

"Nope."

Ian looked at the other party's fully armed appearance, from armor, weapons, alchemy firearms, and emergency potions hanging from his waist, it was obvious that he was about to go on a mission immediately.

He shook his head and said, "That's why I came over to check on the situation." ”

"Don't you know?"

Tress was also a little surprised, but he quickly reacted: "It seems that the group is unwilling to affect your research. The deputy head of the regiment personally instructed that if it wasn't something important, don't bother you, so that you can do experiments with peace of mind. ”

"Does it matter?"

Ian asked, "I wanted to continue experimenting, but it turned out that there was something going on with the Guild, my papers weren't being reviewed, and there was something big going on with the Knights—I felt a little isolated." ”

"Isolated? It's protection. After all, it's not a particularly important thing. ”

Tress touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he gestured to the southwest, "Overall, the Gnostic Academy has poked a big basket." Do you know the conflict between Count Phoenix and Gnostic House a few days ago? ”

Of course. Ian thought to himself. He stirred up this from the beginning.

Could it be that there is a ripple effect on the success of this thing? Is he really the wings of that butterfly?

"Recently, under the auspices of the Count of Phoenix, many people have discovered that in addition to the Imperial Capital Grand Library, there are many private libraries and related book depository where similar thefts have occurred."

"Some of them were done by the Gnostic Academy, and some were done by unknown forces in the name of the Gnostic Academy, which made their ministers anxious."

Tress didn't notice Ian's subtle expression, he looked in the direction of the imperial capital, and gloated with a grim expression: "All stolen books have one characteristic, that is, they have a special 'psionic energy' boarding ...... The information that can be traced indicates that the final meeting place of these books is the Avak region within the Grand Duke's territory of Thorin. ”

"But is it a coincidence? Just two weeks ago, the Avak region of the Grand Duke of Sorin's territory was completely out of contact with the outside world, and several cities and dozens of towns and villages in that area, with nearly a million people completely silent, no refugees and no voices - the Huaiguang Church said it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, so they could not predict it. ”

"And guess what?" Tress had a sell-out expression.

Ian narrowed his eyes, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Flying Flame Land, right?" ”

"Yes. You're smart! Tress laughed, and then sighed again: "After checking for a long time, we found that the Gnostic Institute actually has a super giant unregistered laboratory there, and there are many illegal experiments that do not comply with the laws and regulations of the empire, and it is the result of one of their experiments that causes the silence in the Avak region." ”

"Now it is almost certain that the entire Avak region has become a human purgatory, many scout teams have gone and never returned, and those who have come back have also gone crazy, shouting corpses all over the ground, and the city has been covered in the shadow of death...... There is no doubt that this is the destruction caused by some kind of psionic energy. ”

"But here's the problem, the Gnostics Institute doesn't know why there is a problem, and it's also confused. But they believe that all this is a conspiracy between Grand Duke Thorin and Flying Flameland, and the Gnostic Institute guesses that Grand Duke Thorin has secretly signed an agreement with Flying Flame Land a long time ago and wants to rebel! ”

"So......" Ian said abruptly, "this is your mission?" Find out what Grand Duke Thorin is trying to do to stop the plot of the Flamelands? ”

That's exactly what the Knights of the Patrol do.

"yes." Tress turned his head and looked at his squad, he shrugged: "After becoming the squad leader, it can be regarded as a big task." We'll have to find out what's going on in the Awak region. ”

"And, speaking of which, it has something to do with our original mission - didn't we stop the hijacking of the Flamelands on the train? The target of the Flying Flame Earth Spy, the 'Leyline Source Crystal' itself is a powerful natural psionic energy aggregate, and the ancients often used this precious treasure to create some sustainable psionic creations...... And this leyline crystallization itself can also connect with natural spiritual energy. ”

"The Knights speculate that what the Gnostic House said may be right, Grand Duke Thorin has committed treason and is joining forces with the Flying Flame Land to create a huge psionic ritual, which is not good for the Empire!"

When he said this, Tress's expression also became solemn.

Although dissatisfied with many things, the knight wanted to protect his country from the bottom of his heart: "We don't know exactly what ritual they are going to perform, but whatever it is, we have to stop it." Protecting this kingdom is the honor of our Knights of the Patrol! ”

But at this point, Tress changed his words: "Not to mention, the task is dangerous, but it is also a good opportunity to take credit......"

"After all, we are different from you, I have no culture, but I can't take credit for doing experiments in the imperial capital."

Tress's words in the second half were a little sour, but he didn't mind showing this envy, and Ian wouldn't care about the other party's reasonable jealousy.

"Thank you for telling me this."

Saying this, Ian thanked him earnestly, took out two potions from his waist bag, and handed them to Tress, who was a little surprised: "This is the potion I made recently...... One is an enhanced version of the Demonic Weapon Potion, and the other is a Focus Potion, which has special effects against psionic energy and curses. ”

"Don't worry, this magic weapon potion is different from the one on the market, it will definitely surprise you."

"Then I'll say thank you first."

Tress cautiously took Ian's potion, he thought about it, and thanked Ian with great solemnity: "What I told you is not a secret, wherever you ask, someone will answer you." But I'm willing to accept your favor, Ian. ”

"I didn't doubt your strength or sarcasm you just now, I know that an alchemist like you usually has a much harder job than a knight like me, but it seems easy, after all, you have to use your brain. But why do you care about this? ”

"How can I say it......"

I don't know when Ian's eyes flickered with a halo of water, reflecting the mist that was fading in front of him, turning from black-red to blood-red.

After sending out the potion, the signs of death on the knight in front of him began to change dramatically, and now it was only a mortal danger rather than a mortal danger.

So, the white-haired boy paused for a moment, and then said, "I'm wondering if I should give you a few more bottles of potion." ”

"In that case, at least you can save your life on this mission."

Tress: "? ”
