From the beginning, no one felt that Ian was in any danger.

Not to mention that Ian was originally trying to lure the enemy to attack and capture the target, so he deliberately came outside the defense line and made all the preparations a long time ago.

His own martial arts are also excellent, if he is holding a sharp blade, the Phantom Woman's attack will not hurt him at all, and he will be shredded by a few swords.

Not to mention, there are two goblins, one big and one small, to protect his safety, and there is also a second energy level among them.

Eating soft rice?

Being able to eat goblins' soft rice is something that many people dream of - not to mention Ian's soft rice? It's called mutual help between goblins!

At least Ian wasn't ashamed at all.

After all, if it weren't for him, these goblins would have played themselves to death a long time ago.

Not to mention...... The soft rice is really delicious.jpg

Looking up, Ian looked to the sides.

Although the mechanized iron-clawed honey badger is strong, it is not so strong that it can't be dealt with by the second energy level, and now Tress is just observing the data of this modified beast, and this thing is sent back to the camp, which can be regarded as a credit.

On the other side, the phantom of the man holding the carpentry knife is now on the verge of collapse - he is a strong phantom type, who should have broken through the enemy's formation with the assault form of the ironclaw honey badger, and the phantom woman in the form of assassination crushed all the enemy's counterattacks from the inside out.

Through the information fed back by the silver chip, Ian knew that all phantoms had corresponding prototypes, and after being designed, the power of the Void would bring the power of the Void to these existences that were originally just ordinary people according to different feelings and emotions, turning them into real weapons of war.

However, this design is not yet fully completed, and the Phantom Army's technology is still very flawed.

Ian estimated that it would take them more than ten years to complete the first step of the plan, and even if Grand Duke Thorin had reached an agreement with the Flamelands in the first place, it would have only been about seven years so far.

Although there are already quite a few technologies that are being experimented.

For example, the 'artificial psykers' and 'resurrection of the dead', which were supposed to be carried out by the Gnostic Academy, were almost successful despite the harsh conditions.

For example, the 'Phantom Army' that Grand Duke Thorin obtained from Inaga inheritance, although there are still many hard conditions that cannot be normalized, but many of the pre-technologies that support it are quite mature.

But there are certainly many more difficult technologies to be done in the AVAK laboratory.

Naturally, they are also more dangerous.

Soon, all of these strikers, who were only used to test them, were eliminated, and only the Phantom Woman, who was captured by Ian, remained.

In fact, Ian also noticed that the man's phantom also had quite strong emotions, but compared to the woman, it was a little less agile, and it was likely to activate the ability of 'going back to the past', but if Ian didn't want to expose the specialness of his spiritual ability, he could only choose one.

At this moment, Tress was directing the team to regroup and clear the corpses around the camp, and after saying hello to him, Ian and Birch Frostbutterfly returned to the laboratory with the phantom woman's imprisoned spirit.

"I'm going to use psionic energy to observe this apparition and see if I can find any clues." He said, "I may need help looking after it, I use my psionic energy to the fullest extent and ignore the reactions around me. ”

"If an enemy is coming, remember to call me."

"Okay."

Birch and Frostbutterfly naturally have no doubt about him, Ian's strong observation psionic ability can indeed see things that many people can't see, and some people even suspect that Ian's psionic ability has a certain 'true vision' effect - no matter any invisible, hidden or even hidden secret secrets, it can't escape Ian's prying eyes.

It is this ability that allows the boy to advance by leaps and bounds in the two fields of alchemy and inscription.

After all, in a situation where many people couldn't even distinguish between fifteen red alchemy substrates of similar colors, Ian could already treasure these materials that seemed to him to be labeled with names, and the various reactions that many ordinary people needed to 'remember' were just 'common sense' that Ian had known for a long time.

In fact, this speculation is indeed correct. The foresight and silver chip may be the effect of true vision, and it may even be stronger.

And this time, Ian is going to use his abilities under the pretext of observation.

"Let me see ......"

In the small alchemy room in the car, Ian stared at the phantom woman in front of him who was sealed in the 'Sealed Spirit Confinement'.

The other party is very soft on the outside, and you can tell at a glance that she is most likely a woman with a gentle temperament, but a rather tough heart - her projection has been transformed by the Phantom Army into a rather tricky killer.

That is, Ian's real strength is too strong, so he can use her as a sparring partner to exercise his fist and foot skills, and by the way, delay the time, waiting for Hua Di to cast the confinement spell.

Now, the watery glow in Ian's eyes flowed.

Then he saw.

Everything hidden behind this apparition, behind this projection of the mother's soul.

See what happened to all the 'ordinary people' in the Azure City.

Ian saw a lot.

[Miles, don't carry me anymore, let mom down...... With me on your back, you won't be able to escape.]

[No kidding, I still have the strength, I'm just carrying you, why can't I escape?! 】

[Miles, please, my mother is already sick, even if I am rescued...... I'm afraid I won't live long. But if I die, what's the point of my life? 】

[Please, Miles, let's go...... Even for Cynthia's sake, Aunt Lydia has taken care of us for so long, we can't let her little granddaughter not escape]

[No...... Sure...... Whoosh...... There must be some other way to get the best of both worlds......]

The sound of slashing, roaring, and mournful cries filled the city, and the original Azure City was now covered with the smell of fire and blood, and on the streets where children played peacefully, there were broken corpses of children, white fog that diffused, and scarlet blood that flowed constantly.

A man with his mother on his back, a little girl in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, fights his way through a crowd of mad madmen and a crowd of moving corpses.

He's an ordinary person, but he's not.

He is more ordinary than anyone else.

He has a mother, a family, people who love him and he loves, friends and objects of reverence, he doesn't have big dreams, he just wants to make money and live a good life.

But now, whether it is a dream or the object of the dream of repayment, they are no longer seen and completely disappeared.

He is no ordinary person.

Because ordinary people will not insist on practicing swordsmanship day and night for nearly ten years because of their childhood yearning, they really have their talent, and they have explored a set of swordsmanship that is enough to be proud of among mercenaries.

There will be no ordinary person who can still have the physical strength after slashing and killing more than 20 crazy people who choose people to eat in a row, holding the girl on his mother's back, gritting his teeth and rushing all the way out of the city.

He failed, and he succeeded again.

A man doesn't have that much physical strength, and he does have good talent, but as long as he doesn't become an ascendant, this talent can't be fully displayed - in other words, he doesn't have that much strength.

He couldn't have it both ways, and escape from the city with everyone.

He had to give up one.

Thankfully, but also sadly.

He doesn't have to make his own choices.

He didn't make his own choice.

He didn't make his own choice.

His mother chose him.
