Back in Port Harrison, it was late at night.

The elves remained in the labyrinth, they had a lot of work to do, and Qingshio was instructed by Ian to go to the bar and other places to collect information on the local sublimators and mercenaries, so only the white people were left.

The soldiers defending the city all recognized Ian and Elder Pud, so they naturally opened the door early to let them go.

While Ian was away, Elder Pud moved into Ian's house to take care of Elan.

In addition, Elan, as Ian's younger brother and future sublimator, naturally has other people who are responsible for taking care of food and daily life.

Although it sounds like he has no father or mother, and his brother has left him, Elan's family has a house and money, and he is favored by the Huaiguang Church, and the future is promising, and he is also serious and hardworking......

A real protagonist template.

So Ian isn't actually worried about Elan's development at all, this kid is healthy.

But Elder Pudd is different.

"The inheritance of the family's Yinfeng envoy, I have perfected, as long as Elder Pude finds qualified children, send them to Xia Hui to lead, I will concentrate on cultivating them, these children will be the backbone of our family in the future."

Ian said, "As for you, Elder, the second energy level is imminent, and the next territory and family will usher in a period of rapid development, in fact, Port Harrison is also in this period of rapid development. ”

"I predict that Viscount Grant will advance to the third energy level within this year, and other sublimators in the port will also have a group of advanced second energy levels...... Elder, if you don't hurry, you will lose some opportunities for the family. ”

"My second energy level, in fact, is not so anxious."

After accompanying the Ian brothers home, Elder Pudder, who originally wanted to go back to the Elders' Hall to drink a little wine by himself, was retained by Ian.

He hesitated a little about Ian's suggestion: "It's better to say, what can I do at the second level?" How can we extend the life span for more than ten years......"

Saying this, the old man sighed, he touched his beard with his left hand, and patted Ian on the shoulder with his right hand: "I don't have any ideas in my life, I just want to live up to my mother's expectations and revive the family - I don't have this ability, but I do, so I have nothing else to ask for in this life." ”

"The second-level potion is a lot of money anyway, and even if there is really a surplus, it should be given to young people first......"

That's right.

The Ascension system does not have any effect on longevity, its source is a primitive spiritual system, in other words, the type that requires the abandonment of the body and the immortalization of the soul.

Of course, this is only a theory, in fact, no one can cultivate it, including the pre-era civilization, but their creation Void Realm Machine God has achieved immortality from a certain point of view.

However, after the catastrophe of the Heavenly Fall, the extreme wealth of all kinds of sublimation materials led this spiritual system to embark on the path of the main body...... It is true that the power of today's sublimation system is incredibly powerful, and it can even single-handedly suppress a planet, but this power does not involve the essence of life, but is similar to the power furnace and the armament module, in other words, it is a sublimation warship that turns humans into human form.

Since it is a warship, it needs to be repaired and maintained, but what Terra lacks today is such a technology - even the Steeldragon can only imitate the 'Shimmer Cradle' system and get a monkey version of its healing ability.

Powerful forces cannot prolong life, and in a sense, they actually promote civilization.

Otherwise, if the fifth energy level can live forever, there will be no need to reproduce offspring, or even rule ordinary people...... It is precisely because the current sublimators do not live much longer than ordinary people that the order of Terra can be maintained.

It was also after Ian experienced the power of the Ascendant that he understood why Inaga II was repulsed after learning about the 'Art of Eternal Life'.

As an emperor, he can indeed live forever, but this denies the necessity of the existence of the whole world he loves, the whole people of the whole empire.

Moreover, the immortal emperor will also shake the stability of the entire system.

Ian believes that the reason why the imperial prince led the rebellion was because he knew that his father had mastered the technology of immortality.

Who wants to be the prince for seventy years? Nobody thought about it.

It does not live forever, but it guarantees stability.

But it is precisely because of this that many older sublimators, who have obtained potion materials that can make them go further at the end of their lives, are hesitant and unwilling to use them, but leave them to the next generation...... After all, if they used it themselves, it was nothing more than to protect the family for more than ten years, but if the successor had a higher-level potion, he could protect the family for dozens or even nearly a hundred years.

This kind of humility is very common in Terra, and it's not moral, it's just that it really can't be worth it.

If the essentia structure in the body of the monster is similar to iron ore or poorly processed iron ingots, then the essentia structure after refining potions is screws and steel bars, cement and bearings.

Finally, the sublimation organ assembled by the sublimator himself is the last industrial machine tool, a high-rise building.

After multiple processing, the essentia structure can no longer be directly used by other sublimators, which also means that it is almost impossible for humans to obtain the other person's sublimation organs by killing another human.

Ian was able to inherit Hilliard's ancient dragon core, in fact, thanks to the silver chip - it was the silver chip that helped Ian control the power of the ancient dragon's core, otherwise, he would be very likely to be killed directly by the power of the heart core, or deformed into a half-human, half-dragon monster.

But this is the truth, and Ian has other plans.

"More than ten years is enough time for me to become the fifth energy level."

In the face of familiar people, Ian's tone has always been amazing, especially when he said this, the tone was plain and straightforward, not exaggerated at all, and there was a natural tone: "And this is also so that Elder you can better access a technology I have developed in the future...... A technique called the Temporary Hades. ”

Ian told Elder Budd about the temporary Hades and his speculation about why the Order had come to Port Harrison, which caused the old man to ponder.

"I see, I see."

He nodded slightly: "You hope that I can become the second energy level, condense my soul more, and even if I die in the future, I can use my soul to enter the temporary underworld." ”

"What you want to rule in the future is not only the material world, but also the spirit, the kingdom of the soul after death...... I can't rest even if I die, and I have to continue to work for you as your elder, someone you can trust. ”

With that, Elder Budd smiled and tried to touch Ian's head—but now that Ian was taller, he had to stand on tiptoe to get there.

"Yes."

Ian bent down, he bowed to the elder, and let the other party rub his hair: "I have a lot of things to do, but there are not many people to be trusted. Elamand can share some of the Cult matters for me in the future, but there are many vacancies in other areas. ”

"I see."

Elder Pud sighed, believing in any of Ian's decisions, "But if it's really the same as you say...... The Order of the Underworld is also looking for Futaba, so what should we do? ”

"It's normal to look for it."

Ian didn't care: "I can tell them about the technology of the temporary Hades—it really doesn't work, and I can also pretend that this is the core technology of the 'Soul Cult'." Now, with the help of the Great Prince, the Cult of the Soul has become a legal sect in the empire, and even the Cult of the Soul can only negotiate with us through formal procedures. ”

"That's why I need to have a certain status within the empire before I go back to Southridge to develop...... There is no relationship between the DPRK and China, anyone can handle you, and if there is a relationship between the DPRK and the DPRK, then no matter who it is, even if it is the four major Orthodox Churches, they can only cooperate with us through procedures. ”

Elder Pude's bloodline, the 'Fuyan Bear Lizard', is the bloodline that can reach the highest level of the third level. In Terra, it's the 'middle level'.

The vast majority of small nobles like the Baron and Viscount, the upper limit of the bloodline is the same, and the nobles with backgrounds like Viscount Grant and Baron Ryan are still a minority.

As a bloodline inheritance, Elder Pude only needs a part of the materials of the earth-based demonic beasts, plus a few main materials of the Fuyan bear lizard, and he can easily advance.

This is not a rare material, Ian has collected it all, and even the accessories are made of the highest specification steel pterodactyl materials, which is also thanks to the great gift from the steel pterodactyl group, which suddenly makes the not very wealthy Xia Hui Collar Warcraft material reserves plump.

The materials are on the team, and in a few days, Ian will start refining the second-level potion that is most suitable for Elder Pud, as for the specific time to advance, it must be after Viscount Grant advances to the third energy level.

This rule still needs to be talked about.

Ian also communicated with Elder Pud about the plans for the next development of the family, but this must be endless in a short period of time, and the two of them will probably set an outline and wait for the future to be slowly improved.

The old man left, leaving only Ian and Elan in the house...... As it has been in the past few years.

"Why, haven't you slept yet?"

Back in the room, Ian saw Elan sitting at the head of the bed, lighting a small lamp, staring at a pot of frost grass next to the window.

Ever since he was a child, Elan had been fond of raising flowers and plants, and he could hear the 'voices' of these flowers and plants, which in retrospect was a sign of psionic potential.

The boy turned his head, and he looked at his brother.

Elan hesitated a little, but finally spoke: "Brother...... It's been hard lately, isn't it? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he also sat on the edge of the bed, leaned next to Elan, and touched his brother's head: "Why do you suddenly ask such a thing?" ”

"You're tired. It's always been tiring and hard, but when I was in Xia Huiling, it was the hardest. ”

Elan said firmly, staring at Ian with purple eyes: "But back to Port Harrison, brother, your mood is still the same as when Xia Hui led it...... Not much, the peace of returning home. ”

"Even when you get home, you're chatting with Elder Budd about something very heavy......"

"The rest of the time, you're thinking, worrying about something far away...... For the time being, I haven't learned anything yet. ”

Saying this in one breath, Elan's tone was a little low, but he quickly cheered up: "So I want to help you!" ”

"Brother, I can feel it, you ...... I've always considered myself a human being. You never think other people can understand you, so it doesn't matter if you're lonely. ”

"But I'm different - other people may not support you for various reasons, separate from your brother, and go down a different path...... But I'll support you for whatever reason, no matter what the situation, whatever the reason. ”

"Because I'm your brother. I want to help you. ”

Ian touched Elan's head in silence.

After a long while, he sighed softly: "You little guy, have you thought so much?" ”

"I've been thinking about it all the time."

And Elan lowered his head and said softly: "Brother is a unique genius in this world. The more I listened to Bishop and the Elders of the White Mist praise me for being smart, the more I understood that even I, brother, who couldn't fully achieve a quarter of your achievements, could be praised like this, which was enough to prove how terrifying your achievements were, brother. ”

"But even if he is such an elder brother, in this world, there are many problems to solve, which requires hard work and troubles."

"I can't be your soft underbelly......"

The boy clenched his fists and said, "I want to be your strength." ”

"You may not support me. Elan, if you understand my dream, understand the world, and can still say this, then that's true support. ”

Ian stared at the candlelight on the bedside table in front of him and said calmly, "But I have to say...... I'm really happy. ”

"No!" And Elan waved his fist and said dissatisfiedly: "I will definitely support my brother!" ”

"So you don't understand." Ian shook his head slightly.

Is there no reason to support it...... Is this the relationship of blood?

Although it was only a child's words when he was ignorant, it did warm his heart.

"Alright. It's time to sleep. ”

He patted Elan's back and motioned for him to rest early, and Elan obediently lay down and got into the bed.

Ian went to the window and looked out at the moonlight and the sea.

There were still not many stars in the dark sky, even rarer than in the past, the tide was churning, and the fishing boats in the harbor were undulating in the moonlight, outlining patches of shadows.

The damp warm wind blows from the open sea to the Baissen Mountains, and this wind sweeps through the forests around the harbour, causing the rustling of the sea of trees to echo in the quiet night with the real tide.

Everything was so familiar, just as it was nine years ago when Ian's memories awoke and he stared at the world seriously for the first time.

But it's not the same as it was nine years ago. At this moment, Ian already has friends, family, dreams and wishes.

Not only that, but there are many other people's dreams pinned on it, both as a burden and as a blessing.

For no reason, the boy smiled.

"In any case, I don't regret coming into this world."

He said to himself, his tone was calm and firm, like an eternal stone: "I also hope that the world will not regret welcoming me." ”

"Because I'm going to change it. Make it what I want it to be. ”
