“…… I know very well that knowledge is a trap. ”

Isengard was silent for a moment, and then slowly said to the other end of the communication, "There is something about the Thousand Stars Beast, and the Sun God Bird, right?" ”

【…… You already know? 】

"Yes, I already know."

[Is it]

On the other side of the communication, the Marquis of Wilde paused, and then said with some relief: "You have a good friend...... You finally have your own business]

"My best friend indeed." Isengard smiled as well, but soon, he became serious, "Still, I have to thank you, father. ”

"We have gone through many dangers to find this truth, father, you are for me...... Go look for it too. To be honest, all I can say is thank you. ”

【……】

The Marquis of Wilde was silent for a long time on the other end of the communication, until Isengard wondered if the other party might have hung up: "You have really grown up, no one needs to worry]

"Father."

Isengard spoke, he hesitated, but as soon as he spoke, he made up his mind: "I know how special I am, and I even understand that in a sense, the Ellen family is the victim. ”

"I can understand your subtle feelings for me, and for my mother."

"So, I'm not going to compete for the Ellen family's throne."

"After all, my uncle has always been very good to me."

Saying this, Isengard lowered his eyes, he recalled what Patrick had done to him, and sighed: "Although he and you both want to get rid of me, in reality, he can't face me at all. Uncle can't face me, father, you and brother, so you can't do it, leaving Ian and me a chance to find relief on our own. ”

"You know that. I don't need to say more. So...... So be it, whether you want to keep my Eren surname or not, I'm not going back to the Northlands. ”

[Do you really want to choose this way?] 】

The voice on the other end of the communication was a little tired: [The inheritance of the Ellen family will not be left for you from now on, isn't your friend befriending you for this? 】

[Your mother's wealth is always limited, she is a powerless princess, I am afraid she cannot support your dreams]

"I have a stake in Yinfeng." Isengard is not worried: "All the orders of the platinum-iridium workshop and Yinfeng are in my hands, father, I am their communication channel with the industrial circles around the imperial capital, and some things are better to do without the platinum-iridium workshop." ”

[You trust Earl Yinfeng so much? 】

Count Wilde was a little surprised, although he knew Ian Yinfeng's achievements in the recent period, but when it came to the background, there was still a considerable gap between him and the great nobles of the frontier like them: [Moreover, he is the head of a family after all, and you are an outsider...... Even if you have shares, you will be excluded from the power center in the future.

[Not to mention, the Silver Peak Leader is now in the risk zone of the Empire and the Flying Flame Land, they can carry it once, but they may not be able to carry it a second time]

"I believe in Ian."

Isengard said without hesitation: "The Silver Peak Collar is only his career, not his family business, and I am the same. ”

"And, you're wrong about that, father. After Silverpeak Leader defeats the Demon Army's invasion, even the Flamelands will not use that place as their first point of attack unless they have an extra hole card. But what hole cards must be used in the South Ridge, not in the West? ”

Speaking of this, Isengard smiled confidently: "Nanling will become the safest rear of the Empire's southern theater of operations, and the wealth of the Western Frontier, those immigrant merchants, and the Empire's inclined logistics expansion materials will flow there." ”

"It will siphon the heritage of the West, absorb the wealth, the talent, and the population there...... This is the general trend, and the future of Yinfeng Ling is unlimited. ”

【…… Can this be said? 】

"Of course, it's something that everyone should know, and Ian thinks it should even be advertised, and I'll announce it."

Isengard said calmly, "So, I don't need the Ellen family's property, father. ”

[In that case, then I'll let it go]

Marquis Wilde sighed, his tone relieved: [This is not fair to you. You are the son I don't want but have, and I'm the father you don't want but have]

[This will not change, you are still a member of the Eren family, but I will not restrain you anymore]

[However, I still have to explain one thing to you]

[The trap in the capital of knowledge, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think]

Isengard did not speak, but listened attentively.

And the Marquis of Wilde continued: [The Gate of Silver Heaven can see people's past lives, see some past mysteries and some parallel possibilities, this was a channel for those tower masters in the City of Knowledge to delve into various forbidden mysteries in the past]

[But if the Silver Sky Gate wants to use it, it needs an extremely large amount of energy, which restricts the pace of those crazy people]

[But recently, they have cooperated with the Empire and obtained the technology of the Apocalypse-level Antimatter Furnace in the Imperial Capital, which has made the operation of the Silver Sky Gate smoother and smoother]

[At this time, they invited 'special psykers' from all over the world to the City of Knowledge...... Ethan, you're not a psyker, haven't you ever wondered why you were invited? 】

- I'm a friend of Mahdi (Ian)?

Isengard thought so, but the moment he thought about it, he immediately understood that there was no such good reason for this.

Only Isengard and Ian themselves know how sensitive their identities are, and outsiders, especially those in the City of Learning, shouldn't invite them with such fanfare...... They invited themselves for some other reason.

[Because of the blood veins in your body, the power of other people sleeps]

Marquis Wilde said lightly: [The blood of the Sun God Bird in your body does not come from your mother - she has not inherited the bloodline, she is the test product of the previous generation]

[The bloodline in your body is a special key to control the authority of the part of the Thousand Star Beasts in the possession of the Empire...... You should know all about this.]

[So, with your wisdom, can you guess who the power in your body comes from?]

Isengard was silent.

He really guessed it, so he was silent.

"Impossible......"

He muttered to himself, "How can there be such a ridiculous thing......"

[Yisen, have you ever wondered why the second prince, the eldest princess, and even the eldest prince are quite kind to you, which is not the same as the royal family in the past records? 】

Marquis Ellen sighed at this time: [And why do I feel uncomfortable when I look at you...... Have you really thought about the reason for this? 】

[The reason is actually very simple]

[Ethan.] You...... It's really a bit like Inaga II]

[It's okay when you were a child, as you grow bigger and bigger, except for these green eyes, you are like a phantom of the black sun]

This is the real reason why the City of Learning invited Isengard alone, and I am afraid it is the real reason why the Empire will let Isengard go to the City of Learning.

[So, the best way to deal with it is not to go]

After the Marquis de Wilde left this sentence, he hung up the communication: [This is my last piece of advice]

This is indeed advice.

Isengard was silent for a long time. He froze in place for a long time, then stood up abruptly and strode towards the elf's office in the imperial capital, where Ian and Birch's acquaintance, the 'Inkwind Elf', was located.

He had to tell Ian about it right away.

He must also inform others about this.

Otherwise...... He couldn't ease the confusion in his heart.

The follow-up plot is more important, I wrote and deleted, I still need to think more, today's small chapter, do a good job of the detailed outline, and prepare for the explosion in the future!
