Chapter 99: The Visiting Order of the Netherworld (5600)
Higher crystalline organisms related to Elam......
The first thing that Ian thought of was the Elan who was dominated by the swarm on the way to the swarm and transformed into the 'Hive Crystal Dragon'.
I have to say that Ian is still very confident in his design ability and aesthetics.
After being transformed by the swarm master, Elan has both the beauty of strength and the excellent design, not only full of potential, but also perfectly adapted to Elan's psionic talent, and can reach the third energy level as soon as he wakes up, which can be described as strong and beneficial.
But if you think about it, it's impossible—he himself can't directly borrow the power of the swarm path, and he has to rely on the ability of the Guide Star to exchange technology with the other party.
So soon, Ian thought of another possibility.
Crystallized Dragon Egg!
"Elan."
Ian lowered his head and whispered in his brother's ear, what seemed like the usual affectionate greeting from an older brother to his younger brother, "Have you been going to the beach a lot lately?"
"The water essentia on the body is a bit rich."
"Yes!"
Elan didn't think there was anything strange about the question, he nodded happily and replied, "After every training session, I go to the beach and play with sharks......
"Before, when Uncle Qingchao and Brother Scott were there, I often went to the offshore with them, fishing, catching fish!"
- I really can't control your seniority.
It was the first thought that crossed Ian's mind. Qingchao and Scott call each other brothers, and both call themselves the eldest, so they are an uncle and an older brother here in Elan...... I had to go our separate ways.
Speaking of which, although Ian has complained many times, as a disciple of Hilliard, his theoretical seniority on the side of the empire is really high.
Basically, the *** nobles in the imperial court are their own peers and juniors.
And the second thought is that it is.
Elan also likes to go to the beach with him to catch the sea, and this habit will not disappear immediately after he leaves.
With Qingchao and Scott with them, Elan often goes into the sea to play with sharks, which is not a strange thing, not to mention that the birch frost butterfly came back some time ago, and it is estimated that they have also seen Elan.
In this way, with the help of Shark Shark and the two fairy misses, it is indeed possible that Elan has entered the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea and come into contact with the crystallized dragon egg...... But I can't ask in detail here, I'll talk about it when I get home.
"Oh?"
The viscount, who walked out of the study after Ian, became interested, "Your observation system psionic energy is actually so strong? Even Elan has been to the beach recently, and you can tell it?"
"Hmm."
Ian let go of the hand holding Elan and rubbed the boy's head, the psionic brilliance in his eyes dimmed, "Actually, I can only see the type and distribution of essentia in Elan's body...... I know what he likes to do, and I know where he usually goes, so I guess right."
"Ian, you're not honest. Back then, I thought you could only identify ordinary antiquities and metals."
The Viscount pretended to sigh with regret and said Ian, but in fact he looked at Elder Pudde, and the vicious look in his eyes was almost like to make the old man punish himself three buckets.
Elder Pudder pretended not to see it, he stepped forward and patted Ian on the back, and sighed with relief, "I have grown a lot taller, and I am more energetic."
"I went to the imperial capital and became a lord, and my whole temperament changed greatly...... Going out into the world is the right choice for you."
In terms of Terra's aesthetics, if Ian's previous image in Port Harrison was just a country spirit guy with braids, although he was beautiful and stunning, but it was not to the point that passers-by would look back frequently.
And now Ian belongs to the kind of person who walks on the street, and because he is too dazzling, ordinary people subconsciously lower their heads and look sideways, not daring to look directly, but they secretly turn their heads to snoop again and again later.
It's not just about the way you look at you, it's about the transformation of your spirit.
"They all depend on your training, Elder."
Ian bowed his head, took Elder Pudd's hand, and thanked him sincerely, "If it weren't for your teaching, I'm afraid I wouldn't be where I am today."
Without Elder Pud helping Ian cover and learning how to use the Chehalorvo family as a shield for his actions, he would have been sharpened by the Imperial Capital
The great nobles found out that something was wrong, and even peeped through all the vests!
"You've been doing well lately, and you've gotten a lot better with your stomach problems."
At this moment, Ian's eyes lit up with a cyan halo again, and he looked at the area of Elder Pudde's stomach and said conclusively, "There are no signs of any lesions now...... Fortunately, I found it early, otherwise it would have been difficult to remedy it in the middle and late stages."
"Indeed."
Viscount Grant also came to Ian and Elder Pudde: "Pud and I have been drinking more and more recently, and the more we drink, the more energetic we become—on the contrary, my demeanor was not right when I was disciplined before."
"The place where the bloodline is not as good as the real form is this—many living habits also tend to be Warcraft, and they need to be adapted."
At this point, he glanced thoughtfully at the watery glow in Ian's eyes, and then said seriously, "Ian, I have a reluctant request."
"Please?"
Ian looked up, he smiled imperceptibly, and then said seriously, "If there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate."
"I want, please help me see how my unborn child is doing."
Viscount Grant's tone was very serious, and even Elan quietly hid behind Ian, and the nobleman said in a deep voice, "You can see the possibility of Pudde's stubbornness and aberration...... I don't know exactly how it works, and I don't care, but I'm sure you have the ability."
"In that case, I'd like to ask you Ian to help me see how Cormit is doing."
"Of course. It's my pleasure."
Ian nodded, and he replied earnestly.
He deliberately stirred up the topic in front of Viscount Grant and showed his psionic powers, just so that the other party would invite him to observe his child.
Ian is well aware of the importance that Viscount Grant values his children, and he also knows very well what a father who has not yet been born will worry about - whether his children will inherit his bloodline? Was he born with an aberration or a flaw?
These things can be made up in advance, but there are very few people who can see through these before the child is born, not a psionic person, at least a third-level mental light level existence with relevant spiritual energy.
This requirement is too high, Viscount Grant doesn't have such a big face, he can ask a third-level powerhouse to come over and check on his child.
And if Ian shows this ability, he will never let it go.
As for why Ian was observing Viscount Grant's children...... In fact, it is also because of a very simple thing.
Ian didn't yet know how the 'Bloodline Nobles' Bloodline was passed down - especially how babies in their mother's womb developed the 'Sublimation Seed', something that would allow them to save a lot of potion materials.
As someone who wants to forge a new path from the true form of the bloodline, Ian has studied the true form very well, but lacks many objects to observe for the more primitive bloodline.
Viscount Grant and his child Cormita, who was his future disciple, were very important 'samples'.
Since Ian agreed, in order not to waste time, the Viscount personally led them to the third floor, where his wife was.
The Viscountess's name is Clendale, and she is the cousin of the treasurer Lamar, and the two siblings are considered to be the Viscount's roommates - this is nothing at all in Terra, but it is better to say that the Viscount actually likes their brother and sister, and is already a very pure type of love among the nobles.
"Ayers? And Ian Jr. Elan...... Ah, Elder Pudd, you're here too? Today this is ......."
I couldn't help but be a little surprised to see a group of people arriving, sitting on a deck chair basking in the sun, and holding a red-haired beauty with a big belly.
Mrs. Clendale certainly did
Knowing Ian and Elan, not because Ian often came to the Viscount's Court to borrow books to read, but because she was the owner of the flower shop that Elan liked very much, and Lamar took care of the store for a while on her behalf, and the two siblings liked Elan, who loved plants from the bottom of their hearts as much as they did.
Both Viscount Grant and Ian are happy to see this happen—both parties need this emotional connection, not just a link of pure interest.
"Honey, today I'd like to ask Ian to come over and take a look at your body, as well as Cormita's condition......
The Viscount came to his wife's chair, whispered a few words to her, and then explained the purpose of his visit.
Of course, Clendale will not refuse, the psyker's observation of the child's condition has always been a necessary item for those big nobles before giving birth, and she can only sigh with emotion, "I didn't expect me to have this treatment."
"Excuse me, boss, I'm going to see how the little boss is going to be in the future.
Ian stepped forward, laughing and quipping, turning on the Prophetic Vision and the Silver Chip as Lady Clendale giggled, observing the child in the other's womb.
"Hmm......"
His brow furrowed slightly, but not because it didn't turn out well, but because of a simple exclamation: "Is this the case......
In Ian's eyes, the children of Viscount and Clendale are very well developed, and they are at least 9.7 points healthy, the reason why it is a little less is because Clendale's talent is not very good, even if Viscount Grant has transformed her into a 'diving lizard' like himself in recent years, bloodline, but as a red citizen who once lived in the Flying Flame Land, she is not very adaptable to the bloodline inheritance of the water system.
However, this did not affect Cormitt. The baby with a name before it was born was still asleep, but there were already several faint blue mist spots in its body.
"That is, the bloodline seed, the foundation of sublimation...... The bloodline nobles are still in a strong position in the Terra Continent now, and the key to dominating the position!"
Ian held his breath as he carefully observed the blue dots of light.
Nowadays, the power families on the continent that can produce strong people for a long time are all strong people of the 'blood lineage'. The Sun God Bird of the Settar Empire and the Moon Candle Bird of the Grand Duke of Thorin are all like this, and each of them has at least the fourth energy level or even above the existence of each generation, so they can maintain a stable and strong country.
Although the true form is very strong and the number of inheritances is large, it is really not stable enough, and even if a strong person can occasionally appear, there is no guarantee that his heirs and descendants also have this power.
This is also why, there are many, even many, fifth-level inheritances in Terra, but the number of powerhouses who really have fifth-level strength is not many.
Therefore, these sublimators, who cannot guarantee the future of their family, will instead gather around the bloodline nobles to help the bloodline nobles maintain a stable order, in exchange for the support of the bloodline nobles for their family and inheritance.
Unless, like the Whale Song Cliff, there is a 'Covered Island Dragon Whale, the true form of the twins, and the Imia brothers and sisters have converted the true form into the 'bloodline' with various secret methods, stabilizing the inheritance in this regard.
It sounds like a very primitive thing to inherit by bloodline, and it is a bloodline thing...... But if it is really possible to use blood to pass on knowledge and power, then this is a very advanced technology!
If all humans had access to this technology......
"Perhaps, the sublimator's demand for 'sublimation materials' will drop another level!"
With this in mind, Ian carefully observed the details of the various essentia structures in Cormitt's body.
As a result, he really saw some clues.
The cyan light dots contained in the baby's body are not pure essentia structures, but soul-like structures that contain part of the spiritual structure,...... And this structure, Ian is very familiar with.
"Artificial souls? Wrong...... It's just similar, but obviously, the artificial soul is related to the 'bloodline inheritance, the sublimation seed brought'!"
Ian exclaimed, "Is that so? I'll just say that artificial souls obviously have many inspirations
Source...... I see, it's no wonder that it takes at least a second-level sublimator to turn part of his sublimation organs into seeds and condense them in the bodies of his offspring."
"It's not just genetic inheritance, there's also a part of 'soul inheritance,'"
"A part of the soul of the sublimator will merge into the body of the other person in the process of intercourse with the sublimator of the same bloodline, and the thoughts of the two people, the rudiments of a part of the soul, will then be integrated into the baby's body along the process of the formation of the embryo."
"In this way, the essentia structure in the baby's body has a condensation point, condensed in the area corresponding to the essentia organs owned by the parents, and the baby will also have a part of the spiritual structure of the parents, which is easier to condense the soul than ordinary people, and naturally has an extremely powerful advantage in becoming an ascendant!"
"No wonder the nobles of the empire must have a second level. Without a second energy level, there is no way to stably inherit the bloodline, and it is just a nouveau riche who can get rich!"
"And the artificial soul is also imitating the process of inheriting and sublimating the seeds of the bloodline nobles, using a person's thoughts and memories, plus the spiritual material provided by the possessed brain, to condense the soul of the self...... In essence, it is equivalent to inheriting a 'soul, the seed of sublimation in terms of souls!'
This is quite an important piece of information - although it seems that Ian can continue to transform artificial souls without knowing this step, if he does not understand its origin, he is destined to suffer a lot in the future.
This is the prophet's vision!
At this time, with the observation of the unborn Cormitt, Ian roughly figured out the process of inheritance of blood nobles.
It's not just genes, it's also the guidance of the soul...... It's no wonder why some people can't inherit the bloodline of their parents, even a simple genetic mixture may cause a birth deformity or disability, or two smart people give birth to stupidity, and the sublimator has an additional dimension of the soul, and there are naturally more accidents, whether it is giving birth to an existence far superior to that of his parents, or an abandoned child who cannot contact the path of sublimation at all.
And Viscount Grant and Lady Clendale were lucky - all the sublimation seeds in Little Cormita were very stable, and as long as he was born, he would definitely inherit the bloodline of the 'Abyssal Lizard Whale'.
"Congratulations, Viscount, and the hostess."
The light in his eyes dimmed, and Ian looked at the nervous Viscount couple on the side, and he smiled brightly, "My future disciple's talent may be even higher than that of the Viscount himself—let me say that under my tutelage, he will definitely surpass the Viscount."
"Haha, that's too early."
When Viscount Grant heard Ian's assurance, he knew that the bloodline issue he was most concerned about did not exist, and he let out a long breath.
After that, he also laughed, smiled with his own mouth, hugged his wife with a happy face, and then said heroically: "I feel that I may be able to break through the third energy level this year, this kid, can I chase in the future!"
Ian wasn't lying, and that's something anyone can see.
With this reassurance, Viscount Grant was more comfortable to devote his energy to taking care of his wife, and not to pour potions that were said to make up for distortions or defects.
Of course, such a trivial matter as helping the Viscount look after the child's situation does not require any payment, but as a father, Viscount Grant does not think it is a trivial matter, and he hints that Ian will come to the Viscount's Mansion in the future, and there will be a personal thank you gift, and Ian will definitely not shirk at this time.
For now, Ian plans to go home with Elder Pud and Elam.
"But not now."
After leaving the Viscount's Mansion, Ian took the hand of the bouncing and happy Elan and turned his head to Elder Pudde and said, "I want to visit Bishop White Mist first—I have something to talk to him about, and I can ask about Elan practicing there."
"Whatever you want." The old man shook his head and said, "You are the head of the family, I am just an elder - Ian, now it is you who make the decision, no matter how big or small the matter is."
"You still have to respect the old and love the young, this is also the rule of the head of the family, isn't it?"
Ian shrugged and said this
, he turned his head again to look at his brother, who was also looking at him.
The white-haired boy shook Elan's hand and teased, "What, are you afraid that your brother will go to see your teacher?"
"I'm not afraid! Because I'm doing well!"
In this regard, Elan did not hesitate to say, "Although I am not as good as my brother, I have always worked hard...... Everybody loves me! The bishop and grandfather also praised me for my talent!"
"Haha, that's confident. I love Elan too!"
Ian is quite relaxed now, and his brother is healthy and in a good state of mind, which is the biggest good news.
Even if there is an implication with the 'crystalline creature', it doesn't show that this is a bad thing in the Foresight Horizon...... It's an interesting opportunity.
In this way, there is no hurry.
Ian took Ellan through the familiar streets of Port Harrison, and after buying him two skewers of grilled fish, a skewer of grilled sausages, and a glass of lemon juice, he realized a little sluggishly: "This kid eats a lot—Elder, how much does he eat in a meal now?"
"Not much, the same amount as children of the same age."
Elder Pud glanced at Elan, who was still nibbling on the fish's head, and shook his head slightly, "But he eats five meals. Ian, you're right, the possibility of Elan's so-called aberration may be due to insufficient nutritional intake."
"But once there is no distortion and the steel bones develop normally, his appetite begins to increase dramatically."
Speaking of this, the old man's tone carried a hint of sadness: "In fact, this is a genius - a child who has inherited the sublimation seed of an ancient ancestor, because our cultivation is not conducive but distorted, and we almost wasted a rare talent."
"How many of our white people are aberrated because they have not been cultivated? When I think of it......
"Don't worry, Elder."
Ian spoke, interrupting Elder Pudd's sigh.
His eyes were level with him, and he said in a calm tone, "I'm here. So, there will never be anything like this again."
The old man was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"yes. There you are."
Touching his fluffy beard, Elder Pude smiled with relief, "You are truly our sun, our hope......
Ian never turned down such an expectation.
If anyone wants him to be the sun, he is the sun – the guiding stars are not just the stars in the sky, but also the sun and the moon.
Soon, the trio arrived at the Huaiguang Church in Port Harrison.
But. Somewhat surprisingly, they weren't the only ones visiting.
Another team with the 'Soul Cult' logo on them was also waiting here.
