More than a month has passed, and the long-term negotiation of multinational cooperation and exploration is about to officially begin.

The Sattar Empire, the Canaan Moore Federation, and the Three Kingdoms of the Heavenly Court are close neighbors, and they are also old friends who often have some minor frictions in history, so when the other forces of Terra knew that these three countries would actually join forces for the relics of a pre-era civilization, they all understood that this matter must be very big.

They definitely found something in it that was extremely dangerous, but also extremely valuable. In fact, it is.

The central-level biological laboratory of the pre-epoch civilization, this kind of goal was placed four hundred years ago, enough to set off a world war.... In fact, up to now, the value of the Institute of Alien Civilization is enough to start several wars.

And the reason why there was no real fight was precisely because of the union of the three countries.

Regardless of the strength of the Three Kingdoms, their geographical location spans the center of the entire Terra Continent, and the location of the ruins happens to be in the center of the Three Kingdoms, as long as the Three Kingdoms do not have internal strife and civil war, it is impossible for any force to seize the ruins by force.

Of course, more importantly, even the three countries that occupy this advantage have no intention of eating alone.

All interested Terra forces can send their own exploration teams to explore the ruins of this pre-era civilization, and with the four Orthodox conventions as evidence, they will guarantee the safety of all those who explore the ruins, and all past grudges will be erased for the time being.

[The relics of the pre-era civilization are the common property of the countries of Terra, and they are by no means something that we can monopolize]

In the official speech, the spokesperson of the imperial side, Count Chongming, who has royal blood, said righteously: [In order to avoid the destruction of the ruins, in order to avoid the omission of key facilities and technologies, and to better deal with the dangers in the ruins, we believe that the most reasonable way to develop is to work together and share with many countries]

Although everyone knows that this exploration must be a joint effort of the three kingdoms to eat the big head, and the others will take the small head. But there is a chance to get into it, and who knows the final outcome?

What's more, the alliance of the three countries is not monolithic in the first place..... Not to mention that Canaan Moore only ceased war with the Heavenly Court a few years ago, the empire and the Heavenly Court have an old feud, no one believes that they will stop for the sake of a relic, they will definitely stumble on each other.

And that's the opportunity for those of them who are invited.

In addition to the Terra Kingdoms, independent forces such as Dragon Island, the Four Orthodox Churches, Far Sword Harbor and the Goblins of Falling Star City have also sent emissaries.... As the first discoverer of this ruin, the Bailongist Sect is naturally among them.

"Ian, you can go in any role you want."

In the study room of the Lord's Mansion, Elder Manya took a sip of flower tea and said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you use your identity as the host of the Nanling Dragon Worship Sect or as a specially invited researcher of the Alchemy Association..... Anyway, your very existence can represent our Dragon Worship."

"Lord Baron, I only sent a notice, and I can't make a decision."

An elite mentor of the Imperial Royal Alchemy Society sat aside with a wry smile, holding a teacup in his hand, but he didn't take a sip: "We all know your identity, but Master Gosai has reserved a place for you..... Whichever identity you plan to use to get there, we'll sign it up."

Facing the third-level Elder of the Cliff, and Ian, who was stronger than him in terms of status and research ability, this elite alchemist, who would be respected the most everywhere, could only respectfully use honorifics in every sentence: "Master Gosai asked me to bring you a message - he said that this opportunity is rare, no matter what, it must be passed, and the territory can be developed in the future, but if the relics of the pre-era civilization are not gone, it will really be gone."

When he finished speaking, he was sitting on the sidelines, not daring to say more. "That's ....."

Ian nodded slightly, he understood the situation.

Now, with Ian's identity, of course, it can't be an invitation from two parties, threatening him to join one side - whether it is the Empire or the Dragon Cult, they will follow his heart and do whatever he wants, this is the advantage of a genius who is favored.

But the reason why they still want Ian to give an answer is because of the quota.

There are a number of exploration team members that can be sent by various countries and major powers

Quota, Ian passed as a dragon worshipper, and the empire could have an extra quota, and vice versa.

And with one more person, it is more likely to be harvested in the ruins, not to mention that there must be mountains within the empire, and the competition in this area must be quite fierce.

However, it can't be said that both sides want Ian to pass as the opposite - with Ian's talent and ability to show, he alone will be on top of ten elite researchers in the general sense.

"I went as a dragon worshipper.

After thinking for a while, Ian said to the envoy of the Alchemy Association on the side, "But remember to prepare a copy of the communication equipment within the association for me, even if it is the Dragon Worship Sect, after all, it is an Empire.

"Your choice, I'll pass it on to the master.

The envoy breathed a sigh of relief, of course he didn't care which side Ian chose, the main thing was that sitting with Elder Manya made him feel a little like pins and needles: "Then I'll take my leave first."

"I really didn't expect you to choose the identity of the Dragon Worshipper."

Watching the envoy leave, Elder Manya turned his head, and he said in some surprise, "The exploration team on the Empire's side is a little more formal, and it is more likely that there will be big discoveries - while our side, in the case of having obtained the Dragon God inheritance, there is actually not much demand for ruins."

"Even if there are really descendants of the steel dragon, we don't need to be killed now, but now that you are the envoy of the dragon god, we don't need a 'son of the dragon' who can rob you of authority."

Saying this, Elder Manya was a little emotional, who would have thought that he would be the one who wanted to find the heir of the Iron Dragon the most a year ago?

It's just that time has passed, and with Ian, who can almost be said to be the perfect emissary of the dragon god, unless the steel dragon is resurrected, no one can do better than him.

Especially for the mountain people, what Ian has done over the past year has really helped the mountain people to develop, not to mention that the development of the development area in the swamp in the northwest is booming, and the new gathering place in it uses a lot of new technology, and there are already quite a few mountain tribes interested in it, wanting to introduce various technologies including agricultural buildings and new fertilizers.

To be honest, Elder Mancliff had even considered the plan of "giving up the exploration of the Xenomorph Research Institute".

Now that the eyes of the countries of Terra are on Canaan Moore, it is a good opportunity for the mountain people to develop and recuperate. However, the King of the Mountain is very interested in the Xenomorph Research Institute, and he will go over as one of the representatives of Dragon Island, and when the time comes, he will also merge with the Dragon Worship Sect on the South Ridge side.

"I'm definitely going to go, it's a little itchy to go to such a big ruin."

In this regard, Ian can't say to Elder Manya, "I have the authority to be the head of this research institute", right? It's a bit too much to go here.

The reason why he wanted to go to the Xenomorph Research Institute as an Ibyron Sect was to avoid the eyes of the officials on the imperial side, and the last time he was in Avak, it was too uncomfortable to be stared at by the second prince, and Ian still preferred to act alone.

"And.

Ian raised his left hand, a bright cyan electric flashed, and the young man smiled, "In the territory, there is actually nothing that I need to take charge of personally.

With the popularity of artificial souls, Ian and Adalbert observed for more than a month and determined that their new, version of the artificial soul was very stable, even better than the version of Archduke Thorin, this good news made the Dead Monarch researcher happy and couldn't help but sing a song, not to mention, it was very good, Ian didn't expect Adalbert to be quite artistic.

As for him, there was no surprise, after all, he had foreseen dozens of times, and if this could go wrong, it would only prove that Ian's ability to foresee was wrong.

Even if something goes wrong next, Adalbert can handle it.

At present, the difficulty of meditation is not high, and the only difficulty is to calm down..... As long as you can calm down and build the structure of your soul wholeheartedly, even the most stupid person can learn to meditate.

The only difference is that a smart person can achieve success in a few months, while a stupid person can take ten years..... But being able to practice is better than not being able to, as for the gap between the genius and the fool.... Ian didn't have that either

energy to solve.

Anyway, as long as you can reconstruct your soul, you can optimize your talents, and even idiots can become 'talents.... At most, it was a late start of 10 years.

In addition, Scott's side also received a second batch of funds from the Flint Group - Ian took the time to hand over the paper and test plating agent to the other party some time ago, and the Flint Group was obviously very satisfied.

The battlefield fronts of the Western Province are in full swing, and they need this secret weapon to surprise the Flamelands!

The plan is progressing steadily, and the flow of funds is also healthy, not to mention that with the end of spring planting, the agricultural building of Xia Hui Ling has begun to produce the third batch of vegetables and fruits, and the growth of Xia Hui grass is also very good, and the first batch is expected to be harvested in July and August.

At that time, even without the financial support of the Flint Group, Xia Huiling could be self-sufficient! "If that's your judgment, then I'll agree."

Standing up slowly, Elder Manya frowned slightly: "It's just that the mountain people can't leave Nanling with both leaders, since you want to go as a dragon worshipper, I can't leave... In this way, it just so happens that the king of the mountain is also going to Canaan Moor, and you ask Theo if he would like to go there."

"If He wants to have a third level with him, it's safer."

--Theo protects me? I'm pretty much the same as protecting Him.

Ian sighed slightly in his heart, although Elder Manya knew that Ian had a heart light body and was not a normal second-level dragon, he didn't expect that Ian's true strength could already surpass the third-level true dragon - but this was not a bad thing.

Even Elder Manya couldn't think of it, and no one else could think of it.

Let alone..... Sheo's prosthesis.

Thinking of Theo's prosthetic appearance, the young man's heart moved slightly, and he had an idea, so he nodded and said, "Indeed, with Him with him, many things are much easier."

"I'll ask Theo."

"Ruins? Great! I'm going!"

This was Theo's reply, and when he heard Ian invite him to explore the Xenomorph Institute, the true dragon immediately cheered, "I can finally leave Southridge!" Or go to Canaan Moore!"

"Last time, Anfa came to Nanling, and we entertained her, this time I must go over to eat and drink, and let her treat us well!"

Saying this, Theo swallowed, and he muttered to himself, "Anfa and I have blown so many elven pastries and delicacies, and every time she sends pictures to covet me, this time if she doesn't prepare them for me, I will be satisfied...... I'm going to eat all these flavors in her dreams!"

As a Shroud Dragon, Theo does have the ability to sneak into other people's dreams and devour associated feelings and memories..... If Anfa is really eaten by Theo and has a perception of pastries, he will not be able to eat them for at least a week.

"Calm down."

Ian raised his eyebrows slightly, he and she in the Terra language not only write differently, but there is also a certain difference in pronunciation, Theo himself did not pay attention, but some key information has been exposed.

It's not a big problem, he has already guessed it.

However, seeing Theo's happy appearance, Ian couldn't help but want to tease him, "Do you need to ask the King of the Mountain? Although it is only to explore the ruins, there is no danger in theory, and there are fourth-level powerhouses in various countries.... But I still need to ask your mother, right?"

「... I've grown up and become independent! I've moved out alone, so I don't need to ask!"

Theo was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head like a rattle and refused, "Even if I want to say it, I have to go to Canaan Moore to say it - even if he doesn't let me go, I'm going to play with the elves!"

"Okay."

Ian couldn't help but laugh, he understood Theo's excitement and eagerness, after all, a dragon who had been locked up in Nanling for many years because of his physical disability, after recovering his body, must want to play everywhere - how could the king of the mountain not understand his child's thoughts?

The Cliff Elders would come over to him and ask him if Theo would like to go over, which was probably the result of the Mountain King's special instructions.

Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to prepare.

Ian called himself

The leadership team in the territory informed them that they were about to go to Canaan Moore to participate in the exploration of ancient ruins, and instructed them on the key points of the territory's work in the next month or two.

This is not a particularly big deal, it is impossible to expect all the nobles to stay in their territory honestly and not move, the lord travels the continent, and the barbaric development of the territory is not a matter at all in Terra, as long as he remembers to come back.

On the morning of May 25th, Terra 774, after Ian perfected the power supply route of the 'Leyline Source Hearth' in his chest, the completion rate of the Steel Pioneers officially exceeded 60%.

At this point, Ian can already be regarded as an official "third energy level", with both the power of the third energy level, and the mind of the third energy level, and the heart light body is also extremely strong.

On the afternoon of May 25th, Ian, who had everything ready, set off for Nauman City. There, a large ship from Canaan Moore awaited him.
