"I know."

Ian lowered his eyes, he had indeed never been a manager, it was a completely foreign field.

The imperial capital is too dangerous and too restrictive for him, although he has indeed obtained a lot of resources and knowledge here, but the very existence of various high-level powerhouses and land defenders Axel has always made Ian have a considerable sense of crisis in his heart.

As long as he is not careful, and his most critical identity is truly exposed, Ian will lose everything, and there will be no room for any reversal.

The fault tolerance rate is too low.

He joked about dropping his vest, but every time he was seen through his identity, Ian's heart flashed with a warning that was close to 'death'.

Fortunately, most of those who could see the clues were those who were familiar with Hilliard and Inaga II, and who also somewhat agreed with their ideas, otherwise he would not have had any place in this world.

To this day, Ian is still protected by the legacy left by Mr. Hilliard.

All in all, the emperor is high-risk and high-return, but now the easy benefits have been taken.

Especially after he had already stored all the key books in the Imperial Capital Library into the silver chip, the value of the Imperial Capital to him had been greatly reduced.

Even the books that had not collected special psionic abilities had been brought out of Avak's laboratory by him, and now they were in a bag next to his bed.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to make another amount of prestige with his papers on extremely potent potions, so that he could attract some investment and open his own laboratory in Ryan Collar in the future, Ian would have been ready to leave this place a long time ago.

"It is true that the imperial capital can be said to be the center of the Setar Empire, but for me, it is not fundamentally different from other big cities."

Ian closed his eyes, and he said slowly: "The people here live well, even those townspeople who are worried about temporary residence permits have never worried about food and clothing, and each of the fifteen satellite cities in the imperial capital is a large metropolis, with different customs and characteristics...... Yes, the imperial capital is too big, it's too complicated, and some things are ingrained. ”

"So I can't change it."

Opening his eyes, Ian said to Master Gosai from the bottom of his heart: "Many of my ideas cannot be realized here, I must have a territory, a laboratory park that belongs to 'me'. From scratch, a blank sheet of paper. ”

"Master Gosai, what is the definition of a good lord? In my opinion, it was just an experiment, a collection of technologies. If a lord cannot scientifically plan his territory, introduce new technologies to serve his people, make life better and better, and maintain the stability of order, he cannot be regarded as excellent. ”

"In this regard alone, I think that the lords and technicians ...... In fact, there is no essential difference. ”

"In addition to technology, the most important thing is relationships and connections...... and the feelings of your subjects. It's not that the better the technology, the more they support you. Master Gosai shook his head slightly, he wanted to remind Ian of this, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to remind him of at all.

- So far, he's never seen anyone hate Ian in particular.

Even Carransier, who had a stinky face at Ian at the beginning, that classmate of Isengard, would show an expression of admiration when he heard Ian's name some time ago, and he would be worried when he knew that Ian was injured.

Indeed, it does seem that there is not much difference.

"That's right, Master Gosai."

Speaking of this, Ian couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he put the teacup on his lap, and wondered, "When will my paper on that extremely potent potion be passed?" I'm planning to use it to get some investment so I can go back and build another lab. ”

——When the time comes, all the utensils in the experimental building on the side of the imperial capital will be directly packed back, and a shape-shifting transposition will be carried out directly.

"That paper of yours? Don't think about it. ”

As soon as Master Gosai's words came out, Ian felt bad, and then his words made him feel 'bad': "The value of that paper is too great, and the Imperial Military has applied for a designated concealment - if it was some time ago, it might have given you a chance to attract investment, but now is the time to prepare for war, and the Imperial Military will not let go of your technology that greatly prolongs the effect of the potion." ”

"But don't worry, although you won't be able to pull the investment, there will be friendships, orders and commissions from the Imperial military. This is a great thing, and it can even be said that it is done in one step. ”

Speaking of this, Master Gosai laughed instead, he took a sip of bitter wheat tea, and said leisurely: "The Ryan Territory happens to be the source of alchemy raw materials, if you can really occupy it, plus the commission order of the Imperial Army, and make a lot of war money, the territory will definitely develop very quickly." ”

“…… It's not a bad thing. ”

Ian's face stiffened slightly, thinking about it carefully, it is really true, in this world, some ordinary technology may be better to get some patents, if the technology developed by himself is too easy to use, it will definitely be hidden.

But his eyes twinkled—Ian sensed that this was a good opportunity: "Is it military...... The leader of the Southridge military...... Isn't that the Marquis of Batun? Or ...... General Batun. ”

- Isn't that my immediate boss? My own people.

"That's pretty much it, Ian, are you going to continue pretending to be seriously injured?"

Standing up slowly, Master Gosai came here this time mainly to see the results of Ian's recent meditation alone, and the result was ...... It can only be said that it is not what he expected.

The old man originally thought that Ian was planning to use the power of the Patrol Knight and the Marquis of Batun to use his status as a lord and the relationship between the Dragon Worship Sect to operate, trying to accept the mountain people as the basis of his rule from a higher level, and then supplement it with his henchmen, the white people of his own family, to establish a ruling system.

In this way, the forces of all sides have reached a balance, and Ian is also the supreme leader of the forces.

But this is just the way of thinking of ordinary people. Ian obviously didn't intend to waste energy on such a trivial matter, since he had the technology of armor, he could run over it in armor, why should he balance the forces of all parties?

He is obviously confident that he can provide people from different backgrounds and camps with the same satisfactory life and hope.

In that way, there will no longer be any mountain people, dragon worshippers, imperial people, and white people in his territory...... Only his Ian's people.

"No need."

The white-haired young man stood up, he stretched and looked at the ceiling with bright eyes: "The physical fitness of the sublimator is not so bad, not to mention that you can't weaken your name Master Gosai." ”

"You've taken care of me for so long, it's rude not to wake up."

"Haha, okay. Thank you for caring about my reputation. ”

The old man laughed, shook his head slightly, and left Ian's room: "After a while, Ethan will come to visit you, and you can do it yourself." ”

"Then I'll read a book again."

The boy smiled and watched Master Gosai leave.

Then, he stood up and walked over to his bag with a large collection of rare tomes.

In recent days, he has been reading, analyzing the psionic and special structures in these texts, trying to understand why the originals of these psionic texts are so different from the rubbings.

The answer is actually quite simple, and that is that these psionic texts, in a sense, have 'souls' in the dwelling.

If it had been before, Ian would have thought it was a mysterious statement...... Soul? It's better to say that it is psionic dependent, right? In other words, the inscriptions in the entire text are condensed into a whole set of psionic fields, so there are all kinds of wonderful abilities.

But now, after Ian received the inheritance related to the Dead King, he understood a little...... At the time of writing, these texts definitely consumed a large number of souls, and the unique structure of these souls condensed a huge amount of different emotions, information, and even special spiritual structures in them.

Fear, hatred, despair, adoration, fanaticism and fear...... Each book has its own differences, and there are also different emotional attachments, which are no different from the essence of the Dead King and the Dead River Army.

These books, in a sense, are 'dead kings' who entrust different beliefs and consensuses.

Back then, Inaga II must have been keenly aware of their considerable potential from these ancient primitive psionic methods - he could store a lot of information through a single book, but what about a super large book? What about a spaceship?

Is it possible to record all the information of a civilization?

Because of this, they want to use the spiritual fire to store the souls of all mankind.

It's like the book of silver that Ian is holding in his hand at the moment.

The young man could sense very clearly that this book of silver shine was stained with countless blood...... The sacrifices of the mountain people, the self-sacrifice of the elders and sacrifices of the generations, the soul, the perception and even the memory of a lifetime are integrated into it......

Because of the consensus of the 'people of the dragon god', all souls and memories can be unified and used by future generations...... Undoubtedly, this is also the inspiration for the Dead King, and this kind of selection of users through consensus, and the decision that only the 'people of the Dragon God' can use the power of the predecessors and the dead, is honestly a more detailed and meticulous method than the specific rules.

While it is also possible to be deceived, consensus needs to be deceived twice – once by oneself and once by a collection of the dead.

For example, Ian can read the mysteries, it is Ian himself who has never regarded himself as an outsider, he is a core member of the Dragon Worship Sect, isn't it the people of the Dragon God. And with the ancient dragon heart core and ether crystal, he is indeed the people of the dragon god for the consensus of the revenant.

- Everyone's brothers!

The Book of Silver Yao, as a classic book for the Nanling mountain people to record the mysteries of the dragon god, the content of which Ian has already read in the big library, records a large number of advanced methods inherited by the mountain people, special meditation techniques and related corresponding breakthrough locations and secret methods, this alone is precious enough.

But the reason why it can really be stored in the Imperial Library is because the Book of Silver Yao is an extremely detailed manual for the observation of ancient dragons - although the mountain people at that time may not think so, but for Imperial scholars, it is essentially a record of the inheritance of the steel dragon, how to learn, simulate its living habits, and even some ways to take care of the steel dragon to make him feel comfortable and happy.

In addition, the original Book of Silver Yao also stored a large number of primordial memories recorded in a psionic way, many sublimation techniques and psionic skills that simulated the ability of the steel dragon, and some inscription arrays that were unique to the mountain people and were almost totem-like.

The mountaineers wanted to reclaim the book, no doubt for the sake of its legacy—Ian even saw a fourth-level lineage record in it, including the common rockwood white deer and steel pterodactyl.

There is even a second-level primordial true form inside, known as the Dragon's Lair Guardian, which is a special inheritance composed of Wulong Mountain Shaking Dragon and various earth-attribute bird organs, specifically taking care of the steel dragon's lair, and not being harmed by the radiation of his psionic field.

Recently, during the time of pretending to be unconscious, Ian has been studying the content of this book, it is really broad and profound, although some knowledge is outdated, but there are also some knowledge, such as the key to the third and fourth energy levels, which is beyond Ian's reach today.

Even, Ian sensed that there were some secrets hidden in the deepest part of the Book of Silvershine...... He knew of its existence through the silver chip, but had yet to find a way to read it.

All in all, each of these ancient and rare psionic texts is priceless, and the knowledge and information contained in them is far superior to their rubbings, which I don't know how many times more.

After all, a book, even if someone is as thick as a fist, is nothing more than one or two million words or even less, how can it contain so much information? It's all made using a psychic structure, preserved in the book in a unique way, almost like a psionic chip.

And why the King of the Mountain wanted this book, it was naturally because of a secret method recorded in the Book of Yinyao.

The steel dragon, or the true dragon of the fifth energy level, is naturally one of the strongest in this world. But even so, in Terra, the fifth energy level cannot be called invincible.

Not to mention the Elder Dragon, the Ice Dragon, who eventually disappeared with him, during the hundreds of years he ruled Byson, the Dragon also encountered many challenges, and although he defeated his opponents every time, he was also seriously injured several times.

At this time, the steel dragon will use some secret method to drill into the depths of the earth and carry out a 'shell changing' transformation that is almost like an arthropod...... After the transformation, he will enter a period of weakness, but all injuries, even theoretically incurable soul damage, will heal most of them.

And as the price of healing, the entire land and even the mountains will be infiltrated by the power of the steel dragon, becoming his new dragon's nest, which is also the reason why the areas where the steel stone spreads such as Indigo Mountain can spread throughout the Baisen Mountains.

Every area of the steel stone is a proof of the victory of the steel dragon over a strong enemy.

The mountain people recorded this process in great detail, and even combined with dragon blood, they imitated a special sublimation technique of 'earth healing', although they could not heal most of the injuries after changing their shells like a real dragon, and most of the fatal injuries and permanent injuries could be removed, but most of the serious injuries, severed limbs and soul damage could be treated.

This is known as the art of resurrection from the dead given by the dragon god, and it is undoubtedly the true purpose of the King of the Mountain to recover the Book of Silvershine.

"It's Theo."

Ian nodded slightly, he was basically sure of this: "There is a high probability that the King of the Mountain has used all the conventional methods, but they can't cure the void toxin on Xiou's body, and he can only target the healing method left by the dragon god Baisen." ”

"He's a true dragon, and he's sure to get more inspiration from Earth Healing, a sublimation technique that mimics the abilities of a true dragon."

Ian felt that the Book of Silver Yao might really be able to be returned to the mountain people in exchange for the other party's support for him...... Whether it is the Dragon Worship Sect or the mountain people, it is a great help for their future.

The Spiritual Calamity Path himself probably did just that, and without the help of these two Nanling indigenous forces, it would be impossible for him to establish the Spiritual Cult.

However, in this life, is it still necessary to establish the Cult of the Worship of the Spirit?

"Hmm...... It should be a must. But maybe it could be a different name, or a different form......"

Ian lay sideways on the bed, staring at the light above his head, as if looking directly at the moon, thinking about his future plans: "With the position of the head of the church, I can be the lord and the leader of the church at the same time, and the three powers of the military, politics and religion are in my hands, and I can completely lead everyone in my territory, both physically and spiritually, so that I can carry out a comprehensive reform......"

"These are all matters of government affairs. The real key is, what exactly is a real dragon? What exactly is the void, that is, the toxin in the universe, caused by the battle of other ancient dragon creatures? Or is there something else going on? ”

"It seems that it is necessary to go to Dragon Island once...... Speaking of which, the space elevator over there in Port Harrison can't be repaired, but the orbital launcher seems to be able to see the situation? ”

"I don't know how long it will take to fix."

Ian's gaze seemed to pierce the ceiling and dirt, through the clouds and sky, into the void...... He had only known that the Dragon Island of the True Dragon had not been in the balance orbit of the planet for a long time, so he was curious about the situation inside the current Terra Star Field.

The Terra Continent, or planet, is undoubtedly the home of mankind, and many fifth-level and powerful forces make the true dragon extremely fearful, and he has never thought of challenging the authority of mankind on the planet.

But beyond the planet Terra, not to mention the shattered New Moon, is there a dragon's lair on the intact Phantom Moon, or is it the lair of some cosmic creatures?

In the Terra Star Domain, there are eleven planets in addition to Terra to sublimate the vitality of living beings, and there may also be the possibility of special life survival on those planets.

Not to mention, there must be gas giants in the star field...... This must be a huge energy reservoir for an interstellar civilization or a high-level sublimated being. Just because the Terrans can't use it now doesn't mean that creatures like real dragons can't use it.

Just like the dark golden true dragon that can go to the Prison Star Heavenly Prison on its own, even if the other true dragons are not that strong, it shouldn't be difficult to go to the gas giant to collect resources and build a nest, right?

If you expand your thinking, you can see that the world is actually quite large.

However, because of this, Ian is also keenly aware of the special features of the planet Terra.

"Essentia."

Ian sat up straight, his brow furrowed, "Essentia...... Too much. ”

According to various sources, whether it is the pre-era civilization or the current Terra civilization, Ian is well aware that essentia is a 'natural substance' derived from the sun.

It may not be natural, but for the Terrans who haven't even gone out of the star field now, it's no different from nature.

Part of the energy that the sun shines on Terra is manifested in the form of essentia, and essentia will give birth to sublimated life, and the soul bred by sublimated life will create a natural spiritual cycle, which will further strengthen the planet's retention rate of essentia, so that there will be more and more essentia on a planet, and stronger and more sublimated organisms will be born.

This is the natural rule of the universe in which Terra is located.

But the problem is that Terra's ecosystem is too luxuriant.

According to the pre-epoch data and the description of the silver chip, Ian can know that on a planet, creatures that can naturally breed a third energy level are already considered extremely developed.

Just like the civilizations of the previous era, even if they could build all kinds of giant buildings, their individual strength was the highest third energy level.

And if this third energy level is a natural beast, this planet can be called a high-risk planet.

As for the fourth energy level...... It's enough to be called the miracle of life, the Titan Star.

This is the limit of the planet's ecology. Natural creatures of this level of the fifth energy level must at least be like the Aether Stardust Dragon and the Void Breeder, with the river system and multiple star fields as the territorial range.

But what about Terra?

Isn't the number of fifth-level levels a bit excessive?

Even not only humans, but even cosmic lifeforms of the level of true dragons can naturally live very well when they occupy a small hill in Terra...... Are you kidding! The lair of a creature like a true dragon is obviously counted by how many planets, right? In Terra, you can actually be satisfied with a mountain, and be a Baisen dragon god?

"There's definitely a big problem with that. Moreover, this problem happened right after the catastrophe of the fall from the sky,"

Ian was sure that he was pretty certain that Skyfall would bring more than just destruction and curse to Terra...... Perhaps there was also an unprecedented and great 'blessing'.

It is this blessing that has caused an abnormal labyrinth in various parts of Terra after the Heavenly Fall, resulting in all kinds of alien creatures, artificial monsters, and all kinds of super life forms flourishing, forming a chain of super sublimated creatures that can now be accommodated by at least a few thousand solar systems in the past with a single planet.

It is precisely because of this anomaly that the human sublimation system can transcend the constraints of the past and develop the fourth and fifth energy levels, and the true dragons that should theoretically be spread throughout the Terra Star Domain will choose to build Dragon Island in the orbit of the planet, rather than go to gas giants or planets close to the sun to build nests.

The reason why the Heavenly Fall Disaster was able to destroy the civilization of the previous era may be related to this extremely large amount of essentia explosion.

For the Terra, all of this is taken for granted, and nothing surprising.

But as someone who has an in-depth understanding of pre-era civilizations, and even understands some alien civilizations through the silver chip, Ian can detect this extreme anomaly.

This is undoubtedly one of the ultimate secrets hidden behind Terra, and even Inaga II did not think deeply about it.

Ian jotted it down.

"Another big mystery...... In the future, this information will be focused on gathering. ”

Closing the Book of Silver Yao, the young man adjusted his breath, weakened his vital signs through the secret method of the Dragon Worship Sect, and then disguised himself as a weak image of recovering from a serious illness.

He had already seen that upstairs, Isengard was approaching, and with him was an unfamiliar third level.

The armor on the stranger had very distinct military features.

It seems that the 'return from the military' that Master Gosai said has come.

It's time to meet your friends and new friends.
