Chapter 148: Collaborators (4000)

"Pioneer...... Is that your code name? ”

Master Gravi whispered to himself, "True to the name. ”

After a brief moment of surprise, he was no longer surprised that Ian could see through his own thoughts - there were many people in the Terra Continent, and if Ian had similar thoughts, he could indeed see through part of his plan.

Yes. Purely research on the tribalization is only one part of Gravi's plan, but it is a central part.

Other ancillary enhancement surgeries, as well as genetic modification, and the inheritance of cooperation, are just derivatives generated around the core.

That's why he was so surprised. A scholar like Ian can't be self-taught, and there are definitely famous teachers to teach...... Especially the other party's familiarity with the super life structure is enough to prove that Ian has a huge inheritance and research team behind him!

He never thought that Ian had an ancient dragon core in his body, so he did have a unique insight into the structure of the sublimation organ of the fifth energy level.

As for Master Gravi, Ian was also quite emotional.

"There are a lot of talented people in the Terra Continent, and there are a lot of scholars who have the same ideas as me and want to fundamentally improve the way of sublimation, but their research directions are hindered by knowledge and the times, so they are all biased towards 'top-down reform'."

"Whether it's Teacher Hilliard, Inaga II, or Grand Prince Carlos, Master Gravi, they are essentially reforms from top to bottom. In the Extreme Domain, all kinds of science and technology and policies, divine power transmission and dependentization are all similar ideas, that is, initiated by the strong, implemented by the strong, and promoted by the strong, and ordinary people can only accept it. ”

This line of thinking is not surprising, rather, it is perfectly normal in Terra.

It would be difficult for Ian's Arcane Path to escape this framework, after all, if the Arcane Path didn't have a fifth-level level, it would be extremely difficult for him to carry it out.

Even in the Extreme Domain, there is a requirement, and that is 'genius'...... If it's not someone of Ian's level or Hilliard, they can't find the missing part of themselves.

The vast majority of people are very tolerant and feel good about themselves, and feel that they are the victorious and superior side regardless of their position.

But this kind of mentality is absolutely impossible to find in the Extreme Realm, and even without this kind of mentality, the cultivator's perception must be very keen.

But here's the problem...... The arcane path can be practiced spontaneously by the people, and many 'top powerhouses' are allowed.

Whether it is the familyization or the divine power of the prince of Carlos, it is a plan that needs a 'god' as the core.

Moreover, it is very difficult for a practitioner to surpass the original creator, the so-called 'god'.

The arcane path path can be the upper limit of the fifth energy level, which is higher than these paths.

"It's no wonder that the Age of the Gods came so quickly on the way to the Spirit Calamity...... Terra really has a bunch of people who study god-related technology. ”

In addition to that, Ian does have an additional understanding and concern for the Ladder of Life Tree.

"Immovable Fortified City...... and the imperial capital, which has something to do with it. ”

When he saw the fragments of the Ladder of Life Tree, Ian's heart moved slightly, which was what prompted him to destroy the Three Kingdoms Killer.

It's just a matter of fighting for life and death with this group of people, but don't hurt that box!

Before Ian first entered the Imperial Capital, he had seen many biological veins inside the walls of the Imperial Capital that resembled sponges or roots.

The Imperial Capital is a living creature, or rather, its base is a giant creature fortress - both the Silver Chip and the Prophetic Horizon say so, and now it seems that the base of the Imperial Capital should be a super plant similar to the Ladder of Life.

And the Ladder of Life Tree may be a super life that was suppressed by the Imperial Capital under the Quino Plain, and in the thousands of years of sealing, it gradually absorbed part of the power and essentia structure of the Ladder of Life Tree.

When Hilliard and Inaga II created the Immovable Fortified City, they definitely borrowed from the overall structure of some of the imperial capitals, so they also brought a little bit of the power of the Ladder of Life Tree, so Ian was familiar with it.

"Anyway."

Shaking his head slightly, Ian raised his hand and gestured to Master Gravi for the silent silver box in his hand: "Its fragments, I will take it." I was paid for saving your life, and to tell you the truth, it worked very well for me. ”

"Oh, you're really not going to kill me?"

Master Gravi raised his eyebrows, and he raised his head in some surprise: "And you are still openly trying to take away my most precious research materials...... I'm sure you can see that my life is short, and I value this thing as a treasure...... Aren't you afraid to let me go back, and I'll publicize your true strength and hidden identity to the outside world? ”

"Ian, you have a lot of secrets behind you."

"Just because you say that, it means you won't do it. Moreover, I didn't say that you wouldn't use it, if you want to use the Life Tree fragments for research in the future, then we can study it together. ”

Ian waved his hand, although it was not good to believe in psionic energy 100%, but Master Gravi had been green in the Prophetic Vision since just now - when Ian pointed out his true purpose, the old researcher who had been seen through quickly resonated with Ian and recognized him deeply.

But he didn't know about the experience of Master Gravi as a spy for Canaan Moore and then being backstabbed by Canaan Moore - if he knew, I am afraid that many suspicions in his heart would be dispelled.

In short, Master Gravi's attitude gave birth to another thought in Ian's heart...... That's the idea of trying to increase the number of 'collaborators'.

Master Gravi is a rather embarrassing master, he is a Canaan Moore immigrant of the Empire, the most glorious years of his youth are shining in the Empire, he is dying of old age when he returns to Canaan Moore, although he still wants to be loyal to Canaan Moore, but Ian can think with his toes that this master can get absolutely very few resources when he returns home.

This can be seen from the fact that Master Gravi risked his death to bring back the fragments of the Living Tree...... He also knew his embarrassing situation, so he set his last research project and inheritance, and the only research time left in his life would be dedicated to 'familyization'.

In that case, they can cooperate. Ian can't give Master Gravi any resources...... But he can share his own ideas and some of the research results!

The arcane path requires brainstorming, and it does not conflict with tribalization.

Ian stood up, and he walked over to Master Gravi, then raised his hand in the other's puzzled expression.

"I thought you were going to kill you."

The old elf snorted twice, he was not afraid at all, and reached out to shake Ian's hand.

He sensed Ian's essentia, so he also used his essentia to sense.

And then...... His eyes widened in disbelief.

"What?! That's impossible! ”

Master Gravi stood up from his bed, he was old but quite tall, and the battle directly stepped into a depression in the cabin floor—but it still did not alleviate Gravi's shock.

"Your essentia purity, density...... I sensed, this new, extraordinary essentia organ?! ”

Under Ian's guidance, Master Gravi sensed the 'essentia furnace' in Ian's body, as one of the best biological alchemists in the world, it was impossible for him not to understand the superiority and perfection of the essentia furnace, so he exclaimed: "All souls are above, this organ that can adjust the purity, density and pressure of essentia at will, this structure that can continuously refine essentia and store essentia...... How much essentia can be reduced to the physical body! ”

"In addition to the increase in combat effectiveness, this sublimation organ can also greatly reduce the physical load caused by the overly powerful essentia of high-level powerhouses! Ian! ”

Master Gravi stared at the young man in front of him seriously, and he said slowly, "Maybe you young man haven't felt it yet. ”

"But, this is a sublimation organ that can prolong life!"

"Although there is not much life extension, it can indeed make up for the shortcomings of some contemporary sublimators." Ian happily admitted, "And you didn't find out? Your research on dependentization can greatly improve the physical fitness of ordinary people...... It was a metamorphosis of the essence of life, but because of the erosion of the power of the tree of life, people could not control the power of this family. ”

"But if there is a essentia hearth, people will be able to better use their essentia to control the power of the tree of life, and then stabilize the aberration brought about by the family."

"The two technologies are combined...... It's not just about longevity. ”

As early as just now, when Ian suppressed the Tree of Life Clan's Clannization Erosion for Master Gravi, he found that the other party's Clanization technique had quite a lot of flaws, the most important of which was that the entire body would gradually become lignified, increasing its strength but reducing its dexterity.

Even if it is completely dependent and the life expectancy increases, people will become similar to trees, and it will be difficult for them to move.

I'm afraid no one will want such a long life.

And the reason for this is precisely because the essentia influence of the Tree of Life is too great to be controlled by the Sublimator...... Essentia cores are just the right place to solve this aspect.

"That's true. essentia hearth and family ...... Very good match! ”

Gravi was aware of this, too—he remembered the inexplicably stable Tree of Life factor in his body after he woke up.

There was no doubt that it was the result of Ian's use of his anomalously pure essentia for him, and it was precisely because of this that the other party was able to see through his research on tribalization.

If he also had a essentia hearth, then Master Gravi believed that he could suppress most of the side effects on himself without Ian's help, just relying on the crushing, burning, and purification of the abnormal essentia by the essentia hearth!

In this way, many of the negative effects of dependentization can be improved by the essentia furnace core!

At this moment, Master Gravi could also sense that Ian was using essentia to plant strange mixtures of psionic energy and essence all over his body's internal organs.

Yes, that's the primordial ether of the third level. Ian is using his power to stealthily do it, just in case he leaks his secrets.

But now, that kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.

"Remarkable."

At this moment, Master Gravi was truly convinced by Ian - he held the young man's hand and looked at his chest with complicated eyes: "I have been studying for fifty years, and in the end I have only obtained the most rudimentary 'family framework', and even if I use myself as an experiment, I have not obtained complete experimental data...... You, on the other hand, have already achieved mature results. ”

"Whether you inherited it from your mentor or developed it yourself, as long as you can use it skillfully and master it, it is also an extremely great achievement!"

"Actually, that's exactly what I developed independently."

Ian didn't intend to show any modesty in front of people who knew how to do it—an elderly researcher like Master Gravi might not look at seniority, but he would definitely not be convinced if he didn't look at his achievements and abilities.

"We can work together in the future."

Ian let go of his hand after planting an aether trap in Master Gravi's body that could move at will. Ian smiled gently enough to turn winter into a warm spring, "I'll be in Canaan Moore for a while, and during this time, we can have a good exchange." ”

"I'm looking forward to it."

The old researcher straightened his collar, and he had a very mixed mood at the moment—the joy of picking up a life, the unwillingness to be taken away from the most critical research materials, the joy of seeing his companions, and the regret of seeing a true genius.

- When will the elves be able to transcend the times and even create a new era?

It's impossible...... Under a system like Canaan Moore, even if there really is a handsome man like Ian, he will definitely be strangled in the cradle...... No one can afford such a genius to fall into the hands of an enemy opponent.

Even if Ian is clumsy, it's because he's too shocking...... As long as the boy maintains his disguise, then whoever becomes the emperor will choose to continue to invest in him in the end.

As for now......

There was a loud explosion outside the door, and the faintly audible roar of a sea beast.

- Haha, we were so happy chatting that we forgot that the Sirens were being attacked by sea beasts.

However, now, Master Gravi is not worried about his safety at all.

Regardless of whether Elden can beat the three-headed sea beast king or not, at least with Ian's third-level strength, it won't be easy to evacuate a few people safely?

"What are you going to do?"

The old man asked, "I guess you won't reveal your strength, but how can you help Elden get rid of the three-headed sea beast king?" ”

"I don't need to fix it. In other words, there is no need for violence. ”

Stepping forward and opening the door to the Master's room, Ian said confidently, "I've got friends to have a friendly coke session with them...... And those ordinary sea beasts that only have a number, they don't need me to fight at all, they will collapse on their own. ”

"Not necessarily." Master Gravi shook his head slightly: "The sea beasts that attack this time are all the elite of the king's body, as long as the king of sea beasts does not retreat, they will definitely not retreat." ”

"Absolutely." Ian shook his head slightly: "It's just, I need to go...... Make a little help. ”

"What helps?"

Master Gravi asked curiously.

Then he got a simple answer.

"Drugged."
