Chapter 84: Orbital Dragon Island and the Polar Wind Dragon King (5200)
The best way to work together is when both parties feel that they are taking advantage.
Needless to say, Ian Bai Bai Yinfeng never thought about the time when he suffered a loss, and for the eldest prince, the cooperation with Ian is nothing more than that he uses a little political power that does not need to be wasted, but he can get the vital and laborious social experiment information from Ian.
In the same way, the Flint Group is simply using their surplus funds to exchange key technologies from Ian that they can use to make more money in the future.
Everyone can get the resources they want from Ian, which is why everyone is happy to work with Ian.
For the Prophet, this was a basic operation.
So, for Scott and Qingchao, what do they want from Ian?
"So fast?"
Qingchao is not straightforward, in fact, he is quite delicate, so he usually doesn't mind having fun to liven up the atmosphere for everyone.
But now, he became serious: "Boss, what I need is a second-level potion, even if our territory is rich, but there is no hurry to give me an advance now, right?"
"At present, there is no war in Nanling, and in terms of funding, it is better to focus on development." He suggested.
What Qingchao wanted from Ian was called 'Hope for the Future', an ethereal thing that he had never gone to school or systematically learned, but he was indeed a gifted swordsman, and he had an instinctive judgment in seizing the moment.
He believes that Ian is fundamentally different from others, and that the other party's talent is something he has never heard of, and it is even more unbelievable than the protagonist of the legend - in his opinion, with Ian here, the territory is developing normally, and he absolutely does not need to worry about his future.
Therefore, in the face of the 'second-level potion that ordinary people would like to drink immediately, he maintained his concentration very well.
"The seized materials of the Kamu Department don't need to be used in vain, and they won't be sold anyway."
Ian smiled, Qingchao has a much more cheerful personality recently, after all, the salary he gives is high enough, and the wife and children of the other party who are far away in the Whale Song Cliff have sent letters to tell him that everything is fine, and there is a faint idea of wanting to move over.
Life goes well, and the desire for strength is less urgent.
If you want people to be patient and stay focused, you really need a stable environment.
- No wonder the cadres and officials in the previous life gave priority to those who were married and had families.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Ian motioned for Qingchao to sit down: "There needs a resident second-level in the territory, don't you think I will stay in the territory forever?"
"Whether it's a business trip and research on alchemy in the future, or when the war resumes in the future, when I need to confront the enemy sublimator, the territory needs to be garrisoned by a second energy level other than me."
"Qingchao, you are already at the peak of the first energy level, so the sooner the second energy level, the better."
Everyone present didn't know the strength of the old shadow, and even if Scott vaguely saw that this mysterious researcher's strength was not ordinary, he would not regard it as the combat power that the territory could show regularly.
Since this is the case, then Qingchao will not have an opinion.
Actually, for Ian, it is not difficult at all to help his followers become sublimators.
The most difficult point for an ordinary person to become an ascendant is actually how to obtain the 'potion recipe' and get to know the 'alchemist' who can refine this potion.
Others, such as potion ingredients, prior exercise and preparation, and various nutrients, are all available at a clear price.
And the potion recipe and the service fee for refining the potion can add up to two or three times more expensive than the potion itself.
But Ian himself is an alchemist, he has a potion formula, and he doesn't charge for manual fees, and the basic qualities of Scott and Qingchao are also fully qualified - in this case, what needs to be paid is only the price of the potion materials themselves, which is not at the same level as the average person who needs to spend a few thousand thalers to become an Ascension.
That's why Alchemist Lords are always quick to make their realms prosperous, as they represent the highest productivity in the world of Terra.
As for why there are so many lords who don't learn alchemy......
It must be stated here: it's not that you don't want to learn, but that you can't learn.
Everyone in the world knows that they are not afraid to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and go all over the world, but how many people can be proficient in mathematics, physics and chemistry to the point where they can actually produce value?
The same goes for alchemy. Not to mention that alchemy represents not only mathematics, physics and chemistry, but also mechanical engineering and psionic powers, as well as all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge.
Aside from manual ability, inscription is essentially a set of hard power disciplines that extremely test memory and operational accuracy, even if Ian has a silver chip, it took four or five years to lay the foundation, so that he can have an elite alchemist level...... Of course, it's also because Port Harrison doesn't have many alchemical texts.
And the average genius needs more than twenty years to get to this point, and he may not be as proficient as Ian.
"Thundercaller potion, and tidebringer potion."
Two bottles of potions.
A bottle of light blue has a shimmering silvery arc of electricity that winds its way through a cloud-like essentia.
In the other bottle, the dark cyan waves are churning endlessly, layered on top of each other, and the swirling essentia structure forms a very regular pulsating pattern.
Pushing the two potions out, Ian motioned for the two to accept them, "Think of it as last year's year-end bonus. Find a time that is right for you."
"Scott, it's your first time taking potions, if you don't feel at ease, you can ask Qingchao or the old shadow to help you see, if you really can't find me, but I don't think it's too nervous, taking the potion will hurt a little, and then I won't feel anything."
"As for Qingchao, you have transferred from the Wave Patrol Swordsman to the Tide Bringer, I have tried my best to find the same sequence of advancements for you, and the possibility of distortion is very low in theory, but it is better for you to eat more fish in the recent period, not eat food on land, and it is better to insist on taking potions after a week."
Ian's advice is the most practical and has the highest success rate.
With the ability to predict the horizon, predicting oneself still needs to use others to go around a few times to be sure, but predicting the future direction of others is really a matter of looking at one by one, as long as these two people act according to his instructions, the chance of advancement is 100%.
It is the prophet's time to prophesy to others.
"Yes! Your Excellency!" "Okay boss!"
When Scott received his own 'Thundercaller, the potion, his heart was so full of emotion that even his eyes lit up visibly: "If Mom and Dad knew that I had become a sublimator...... How happy they must be."
Although it is much later than the great nobles who have become sublimated at the age of thirteen or fourteen, for the vast majority of non-aristocratic sublimators in the Terra Continent who only become sublimated after the age of thirty or forty, Scott's age of less than twenty is quite young.
Moreover, as the only person in Ian's core team who is not a sublimator, Scott's inner pressure is also very high, and now that he has finally achieved it, he naturally breathes a long sigh.
The reason why he follows Ian is not only to repay the favor, but also because Ian can bring him a different future. Now that that expectation has been fulfilled and is visibly getting better and better, it is only natural that Ian will do whatever he says.
For Ian's request, he would even go and teach himself advanced math!
As for whether the thundercaller has potential in the future, whether it is strong or not, it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as it is a sublimator.
It was only natural for Scott to become an Ascendant, and when he got the potion on the same day, he achieved it directly on the same day. After all, he had been preparing for this day for too long.
Qingchao, on the other hand, was going to go to the beach for a while according to Ian's instructions to ensure that there were no other external sources other than the water essena in his body before advancing - he knew very well how painful the distortion was.
Even if you don't die, the future is locked there, completely losing your potential.
A smooth time has arrived.
With the establishment of cooperative relations between various chambers of commerce and Xia Huiling, winter has also become hot.
Tuo Qingchao has indeed been studying all kinds of knowledge seriously recently, and has gradually established his own learning methods and thinking patterns, and the process of his advancement to the second level of the tide messenger has not made any waves, at most he complains that the seafood in Nanling is salty and spicy, and he is not used to eating.
Some time later, in the third week of planting, the first fruits and vegetables in the hydroponic farm building appeared, and the envoys of the Thin Green Chamber of Commerce and other visiting alchemists and representatives of the various chambers of commerce visited this scene, and they saw the oily green spinach and lettuce being picked by the growers and delivered directly to them.
After tasting it, they were shocked to find that the vegetables produced in the building were sweeter and more tender than those grown on natural soil...... This is not only the environmental control, but also the catalysis brought by the advanced hydroponic liquid developed by Xiahuiling.
There is no doubt that the hydroponic farm building is feasible, and such a fast output rate is enough to convince people of the future agricultural potential of Xia Huiling.
Of course, this alone was not enough for cautious businessmen to place orders right away.
They also need to look at the output two or three times to be confident in the stability of this production model.
However, unlike the out-of-town merchants, the merchants of Southridge and Westland, who had experienced the direct attack of the food disaster, were keenly aware of the safety and reliability of the production model of the farm building, so they immediately placed a large number of orders and asked Ian if he could sell the architectural design of the farm building.
Ian naturally agrees - the design of the farm building is not a complicated thing, and it can be reproduced by those who are interested in visiting it, not to mention that he mainly sells hydroponic liquid, which is the main source of money, and the more farm buildings other people build, the more he sells.
And Gera foreman smiled. As the only person to have actually built a farm building, he immediately received a large number of invitations for future construction.
Of course, he wasn't stupid, and with Ian's consent, Foreman Jera sold his entire construction team to Xia Hui Ling - his old workers would become teachers at the vocational construction school, teaching and training a new batch of construction workers, and he and several other skilled workers would learn from Ian a method of industrial construction production called 'modular construction'.
As long as they grasp this, then in the future, they can sell 'buildings' on a large scale!
And Scott, who is in charge of the production and the construction of the academy, has been really busy lately, and he finally understands why Ian would prepare potions for him and Qingchao so quickly - this kind of work intensity, if not the sublimator, he would have died suddenly.
Scott's true form is a thundercaller, which has an accelerated effect on thinking, and he himself is half a workaholic, although the work is hard, but as long as he feels that the work has results, then the overflowing sense of accomplishment makes him can't help but want to continue working, and even take the initiative to work overtime.
Seeing that Scott was still working on various documents at three o'clock in the middle of the night, Qinghu, who had just finished reading and writing several sets of papers, was shocked.
He hurriedly reported to Ian, who was also asleep and still studying the potion formula, and the lord immediately rushed out to send his deputy to sleep.
- What a good territory, why are you so powerful!
And just when Xia Hui Ling was on the right track.
-- Terra Star Satellite Orbit --
- Orbital Dragon Island -
After many years, the king of the mountain, Amok Nosdil, returned to this place.
It is a disc island that appears as a whole, and it can even be said that it approximates a kind of 'saucer-shaped world'.
It is evenly divided into 12 areas by 12 pillars, which in turn belong to 4 major areas, and the interior architecture is clearly different in design.
Because the true dragon itself is a cosmic creature, there is no life support in this place, and creatures that cannot walk in the cosmic space in the flesh cannot survive on Dragon Island at all.
In the center of all the pillars and regions is a perfectly circular cavitation space, making the entire Dragon Island look like a planet, and a huge ring continent is derived from the equator.
It is the ancestral hall of Dragon Island, and it is constantly changing in color and transparency by a layer
The void is shrouded in light and shadow, giving all visitors an atmosphere of mystery.
Dragon Island is quite large, each area is enough to stuff a dozen human cities, accommodate tens of millions of people to live, for the scarce number of true dragons, such a space is also enough for the pool to rest on weekdays...... It's just that apart from the dragon kings, there are generally no other life on the dragon island that lives for a long time.
Amok Nosdil slowly landed in the Second Division's Weaving Lodge, where there was an extremely imposing "Y′-shaped tower with an arc of electricity flowing from it.
The tower, made entirely of sublimated metal's flash silver, is worth enough to buy a kingdom on the earth, but in Dragon Island, it is just a lair.
The Dragonlord's Dragon's Nest,
[Mentor, I'm back]
The King of the Mountain raised his head under the tower, and his spirit passed out, reporting to the sleeping True Dragon King on the tower: [The inheritance of the steel dragon Solstner has been inherited, and the successor is a white nobleman of the Settar Empire, whose name is Ian Silverpeak, and he is also the current ruler of the mountain people of the Solstner clan, the messenger of Yuan]
There has never been any complicated etiquette in the communication between the real dragons, reporting when there is something, and being silent when there is nothing.
So, after a brief silence, the top of the 'Y, shaped tower, lit up.
It was enough to illuminate the entire Dragon Island, and even the space-time around the satellite's orbit was completely illuminated!
For a moment, the cosmic time and space of Qiguo seemed to become the foil of this dazzling thunder, turning into mottled and gloomy dark clouds, and countless psionic lightning bolts were surging and agitating one after another, born and disappeared from the void, and then like life, entangled and intertwined in the vacuum, and finally formed an abstract dragon-shaped thunder.
【Amour...... You're back......]
The consciousness of the Extreme Wind Dragon King Helm Donaboville returned from the psionic magnetic field that diffused throughout the space-time perimeter of Dragon Island, and this being, who was almost one with the natural phenomena of space-time, briefly condensed the incarnation of the material world.
The highlight of the six flashing thunderbolts was the eyes of the Dragon King, who "looked in the direction of the King of the Mountain, and then sighed: [This time, it's actually the big girl - the influence of human beauty on you is really visible to the naked eye, I remember that Sika (the Dragon of the Mountain King in the City of Knowledge) liked to imitate the six genders of mushrooms and pulled you to play this matching game, but you obviously liked Terra humans more......]
【Instructor】
The King of the Mountain interrupted the Dragon King's reminiscences of the past, also to prevent the other party from continuing to recall the actions of the pools when they were young and frivolous: [Ian restarted the 'Treasure,—— just like the top seats of the Terra humans back then, I think he has the potential to master the 'Treasure, the candidate.]
[He healed my child, Sheomilyska, this is the evidence]
[Hmm......]
The Extreme Wind Dragon King is not annoyed by the interruption of his thoughts, but rather, because of the life form, Chi's thinking is easy to deviate and extreme, so he needs other people to assist and let Chi Neng return to normal topic: [It is not uncommon for humans to open the creator's treasure, but few people can really restore the original function of the treasure]
What is your purpose, then, Amor? 】
The Dragon King bowed his head, and the materialized current came to the King of the Mountain in an instant, and Chi stretched out his flickering thunder claw and stroked his disciple's head: [Let me see......]
And the king of the mountain also closed his eyes and used a more direct method to communicate with his impatient mentor.
【Hmm......】
Using electronic signals to communicate perception, the Extreme Wind Dragon King groaned, and then nodded slightly: [Very good young man, when I was walking on Terra, I had never met a genius of this level - I almost thought he was a large goblin, but fortunately, I saw a lot of goblins back then, so I didn't admit it...... The real goblin should be a little more out of tune, he is still too serious]
[Moreover, is it not the inheritance of blood, but the inheritance of will?] 】
Chi turned his head, and three pairs of eyes looked at Terra in the distance.
Under the sun, the half-bright, half-black planet was shrouded in the dragon king's vision, and Helm Donaburville stared at Terra for a few minutes, and then said: "I see, this is the purpose of Thor (Steeled Dragon)—Yuan really loves his people so much that he uses treasures as a requirement for inheritance]
[Hahaha, it is worthy of being one of the contenders for the position of the Dragon King back then, if it weren't for the fact that Chi fought too much and left too many sequelae, Dolan (Ice Dragon) would not have been able to return to glory with a robe] As if he had seen through everything at a glance, the Dragon King turned his head sideways and looked at his disciple: [I understand, Amo, I will register his name in the register, Ian Silver Summit is a guest of Dragon Island]
[If one day, this human can solve the mystery of the creator's treasure, then I will sign a covenant with him on behalf of Dragon Island]
[This is an ancient covenant, as long as Dragon Island exists for a day, as long as humans do not betray us first, we will abide by it]
