Chapter 346: Cangxing Greed (5400)
Some time ago.
When Ian returned to the Silver Peak Realm to check the discoveries related to the 'Dou Qi' and refine the arcane path.
The Glass Dragon followed the fleet of the Far Shore Island, silently moving forward in the dark sea.
In the deep and secluded sea, only a faint cyan light flickered, suppressing all his external power manifestations, Ian, widened the distance from the fleet, wandering on the edge of danger, but maintaining his own monitoring of the fleet's information.
It all started with that thunderstorm.
Borrowing from the celestial changes when the Phantom of the Terra Dragon dissipated, the Glass Dragon blended part of its scales into the Thunderstorm, using attacks to hide its purpose, and inlaid its own fragments into the hull of the fleet, especially the hull of the flagship.
At this point, he can use the special characteristics of his star god soul to cross distances and all barriers, and listen to the communication of the people on the ship.
I have to say that this has also made Ian very rewarding.
It must be known that this fleet is basically the elite of the Far Shore Island, and even the unique 'Dream Silencer' of the Far Shore Island has three people, and their daily conversations and psionic conversations are all monitored by Ian, and a lot of extremely valuable information has been obtained.
[It's terrifying, whether it's that dragon or the strength of the fourth-level powerhouse on the empire's side...... If it weren't for the three-year-old Dream Elixir in this operation, and the share of my family was full, I would never dare to participate]
[Isn't it, and the Empire's Sun God Bird is really disgusting, you have no idea when they will come back...... But why weren't there any reinforcements this time? 】
[Who knows?] They have a lot of battlefields, Flying Flame Land, Yanjiang, Junling Fort and Cangtian Royal Court, which side needs to be taken care of]
[Fuck, it turns out that we are the neglected side]
[Don't complain, it's good to be ignored...... If the above plan can work, I will respond to the call to immigrate to the new continent as soon as possible, and I don't care if this group of mainlanders lives or dies......]
Although there was some foul language, it was normal for the low-level creeps who were relieved to end their classified mission, and Ian noticed the key words in their mouths: "New World immigrants...... Really. ”
"Except for the necessary confrontation, they basically don't have the action of snatching the Tranquility Sea resource area with the Empire and the Seven Cities Alliance as in the past, and they should spend all their energy on the Great Migration and the transformation of the mainland."
"But what is a dream potion?"
Ian was a little puzzled, it sounded like this dream potion was some kind of daily commodity, and the soldiers talked about it for months and years, even civilians had to use it.
Is it some kind of addictive substance? But it doesn't seem like it either.
Most of the topics exchanged by the low-level soldiers focused on military salaries and rewards, future immigration qualification planning, and some pornographic jokes, and Ian listened to it, and found that there was nothing new, so he turned his attention to the officers.
There are many topics for military officers, such as the increasingly severe situation in the country, more and more geological changes on the islands, more and more people living on the 'ship archipelago', and the current situation of the collaborators in the Seven Cities Alliance.
Ian knows that this is a unique living area on the far shore island - because the geological changes on the far shore island are extremely frequent, it is difficult for some ordinary people to buy a house in an expensive address stability area, and they do not want to build a house and buy a house in an unstable area that will become a big rift in a dozen years or a few years, so they simply spend money to buy a sturdy house and ship, and build a 'ship group' to live on the coast with the family as a unit.
The capital of the Far Shore Island is actually a super giant sea ecological ship, which will be anchored in Port Sudant, the Obola Inland Sea and the Yinbo Inland Sea according to time and geological changes.
This is also the origin of the name 'Far Shore', because it is essentially a sea people who settle on the far shore coast, so the Far Shore Island attaches great importance to sea power, if it were not for the Flying Flame Land, the Seven Cities Alliance and the three major forces of the Empire are vaguely joining forces to prevent the expansion of the power of the Far Shore Island, perhaps the Quiet Sea Inland Sea has long become their territory.
And now, the Far Shore Island probably doesn't want to play with this group of mainlanders on the Terra continent anymore, and they want to develop their own new continent - only before that, they need the permission of the Terra Dragon, so they make one last move.
The officers were talking about the details of the 'Great Migration'. Unlike the soldiers, the officers were worried about the Great Emigration.
[It is really a matter of time to dispatch most of the fleet to escort the immigrant team on the island, but in this way, the island's defense will be empty]
An officer sighed and said, "Now that the war between the Flying Flame Land and the Empire has eased, if Abasalom's side feels ashamed of ceding the land and wants to take back the land in Spire Harbor, we may not be able to defend it]
[Flying Flame Land is not so stupid, it's not enough to provoke the Empire to provoke us, if you really have so much courage, then let's just join forces with the Empire and destroy the Flying Flame Land and divide it] Another officer who was a little irritable snorted coldly and looked in the direction of Flying Flame Land: [When I asked for reinforcements, I said it so lowly, but it turned out to be 'leased for a hundred years'...... If it weren't for the greed and credibility of this group of mainlanders, we might have found a piece of land to live in a long time ago, instead of floating around here]
[What if you find it] This voice is quite pessimistic: [Even if the great immigrants go to the New World, don't they all start from scratch? Our generation still has to live at sea, and even our children's generation may not be able to land smoothly...... We need our grandson, our grandson's son......]
[That's better than now] The irascible voice sneered: [At least our grandson won't be burned to ashes by the earth fire - the group of people in the Flying Flame Land think they have taken advantage? Then they will know what retribution is! 】
[Not only that, but all those mainlanders have to be punished! 】
This was unanimously agreed upon by all the officers - their hatred of the mainlanders could be regarded as a consensus.
[But then again, what happened over there in the City of Knowledge?] The fifth energy level seems to have made a move...... Then all the nations will suppress the war, which is strange ......]
[This, this is because of a breakthrough research, I heard that it is called ...... The Arcane Path? 】
These officers are more aware of the inside story of the Great Migration, and know that the authority they seized this time is to restore the ecology of the New World, but they also know that if nothing else, even if the New World is ecologically transformed, it will not be a matter that can produce results in a few years.
But Ian heard a deeper meaning from their exchange: the fifth-level powerhouse of the Far Shore Island, Cangxing Greed, may be about to be unable to suppress the restless geological changes of the Far Shore Island, so the Far Shore Islanders will carry out these plans in a rather hasty manner to immigrate to the New World without doing a good job of the whole people's work.
Or another possibility: Cangxing can still suppress geological changes, but because there is a new world, she doesn't plan to suppress it, who wants to accept the mess of the far shore island, she plans to pat her ass and leave.
It's not fun...... The Far Shore Island exploded, all the countries west of the Heavenly King's Court would have to feel bad, the Flying Flame Land and the Seven Cities Alliance, as well as the countries of Forster Fortress had to be washed by the tsunami and the great earthquake, and the empire also had to eat a set, and the demonic beast riot in the Dark Mountain Range could definitely choke the Junling Fort, the Empire, and Yanjiang.
Next, the officers talked about some mainland news, among which there were also arcane paths, and some officers who had a deep understanding of the arcane pathways spoke highly of the arcane paths.
[In the future, in the New World, the equipment will not be mentioned, it will definitely not be enough, and the manpower will definitely not be enough]
[This arcane path can cultivate everyone to the point where their physique is comparable to that of a first-level sublimator, which is enough, with the strength and physique of a sublimator, it is not a problem for one person to do the work of ten people...... It may not be long before we can build a brand new continental nation in the New World! 】
[Yes, the popular arcane path is most useful in our resource-poor country, although it requires computing power, but at least it is not like a potion material is not ......]
[From a small cultivation to the age of seventeen or eighteen, he almost has a physique comparable to the first energy level, maybe a little worse, but it is more than enough to build a new home]
[No wonder all the countries on the mainland have suspended the war for this reason, and I am now also bent on returning to Hong Kong and trying the miracle of this arcane path! ] 】
Ian, who listened to this, nodded slightly, and his heart was secretly refreshed.
In the land of Terra, a place that reveres strength, no one can refuse the power brought by the arcane path, even the far shore islands that are unwilling to participate in the entanglement of the mainland, they attach great importance to his path.
But then, the emotion of these officers made him slightly stunned.
[This Mahdi, if it were our people, or even our leader, how nice it would be]
[Isn't it, he is now almost wanted by the countries of Terra, and can only hide in the Holy Mountain...... If you want me to say, you should find a way to save this kind of genius, hasn't Lord Cangxing always been worried about not being able to find an heir? This Mahdi was a disciple of the First Knight back then, and his talent was definitely enough]
[You say, now that all the countries on the mainland are studying the arcane path, if we send an envoy to the holy mountain, can you invite this person over?] 】
[I'm afraid Xuan, our strength is not as strong as the Holy Mountain, and it is estimated that we will not be able to protect him]
"Huh?"
For the first time, Ian met a middle and lower class of a big force who had such a good attitude towards him, not only valued himself, but also planned to make himself their leader?
Although Ian took this for granted, there was no doubt that he had the ability to be the leader of a nation...... But it sounds like the fifth energy level of the Far Shore Island is actually not a bloodline inheritance?
【Cangxing】...... This star ......
Because he had seen too much, Ian couldn't help frowning: "Could it be, my 'Guiding Star' still has a part of this lady's power, right?" ”
"Although I know that I have done a lot of things in my previous life, but is this too much involved? I wouldn't really have a life when I went to the Far Shore Island and became the boss of the Far Shore Island, right? ”
"I'm sorry I just beat you up, my past subordinate."
Pressing down on the doubts in his mind, Ian continued to listen to the exchange in the fleet.
But then, the information they exchanged was less critical.
What made Ian listen the most was the rumor about Whale Song Cliff - Far Shore Island invited Whale Song Cliff to go to the New World to open up the wasteland, which is not to say that Far Shore Island is kind enough to give Whale Song Cliff a piece of land, but Whale Song Cliff has two fifth-level powerhouses, and they are both water-attribute island covered dragon whales, which is extremely helpful for the big migration.
In addition, there are also a lot of Warcraft clans and monsters in the New World, and it may not be developed in decades if the Far Shore Island is developed by the Far Shore Island family, so it is better to ask the Whale Song Cliff, which has always been absolutely neutral, to get a piece of the pie, so that the Whale Song Cliff will also help them block other Terra forces that peep into the New World.
Sadly, however, Whalesong Cliff declined the offer on the grounds that they were still guarding over the Sea Devil Worm, the alien swarm that had almost actually overturned Terra.
For this reason, the people on the far shore island feel very outrageous, although the sea devil insect swarm is indeed still there now, but because of the loss of the mother worm, it has become an ordinary sea monster group, although it will indeed land from time to time to fight with humans, but that's all, it can no longer make up the tide of sea beasts that besieged half of the Terra coastline back then.
[This group of fishmen is used to the supply of various countries, and they don't want to develop it themselves! 】
An officer said indignantly: [Five or six hundred years ago, they still want to continue to eat? What are you kidding, if the Sea Demon Worm was really that strong, then it would be impossible for the countries not to join forces to completely exterminate it in the first place...... Extinction is long overdue! Save the self-respect of this group of fishmen! 】
"Sea Devil Worm......
Ian nodded thoughtfully: "For the first time since the Lost Era, Terra was almost on the verge of extinction, and it was after this war that the true form of the bloodline came out independently, and it was at that time that the Huaiguang Church joined forces with various countries to determine the recipes of various potions, and completely finalized the tone of the current sublimation path." ”
"At the beginning, I didn't understand why Huaiguang exterminated the insect swarm everywhere, but now it seems that Huaiguang Daqun is because he is a 'swarm thinking' in a certain sense and knows the horror of the insect swarm, so he will never allow another insect swarm without 'morality' to exist."
Moreover, if the sea devil worm is still alive......
"It's been more than five hundred years?"
Ian muttered to himself, "And it was after the end of the war that he survived in Terra for five hundred years as an undefeated 'vanquished'. In this case, perpetual motion voting, maybe there is still a vote for the sea devil worm? ”
"Although the collective consciousness of the swarm intelligence machine is only counted as one vote most of the time, and the independent consciousness nodes at most are counted as hundreds or thousands of votes, the mother body of the sea devil insect has been eliminated, and the remaining sea demon insect ......."
Shaking his head slightly, Ian knew that the point was not here.
The number of sea devil insects is not large, and the whale song cliff is constantly annihilating, controlling the remaining number of these scattered insect swarms, but not completely eradicating them - on the surface, it can't be done, but in fact, the sea devil insects are used as the source of magical beast materials.
Just like Atlan Megacity, every large sea devil worm nest is a small Atlanta giant city for Whalesong Cliff.
As a coastal force with almost no arable land and all its output depends on the sea, Whale Song Cliff does not rely on blood transfusion from mainland countries, so it can only cut the insects and leeks in the sea in this way.
Moreover, even if he could canvass for votes, Ian would not vote for this swarm of insects that had caused great trauma to humanity. His basic plate is still human, Ian thinks this very clearly.
Next, most of Ian's consciousness returned to the Silver Peak Realm to study the deduction of the arcane path, and the Glass Dragon quietly crossed the Tranquil Sea all the way to the vicinity of the Far Shore Island.
Originally, Ian's main consciousness was still teaching Elan Myers, Loren and others how to practice Dou Qi and strengthen their bodies.
But suddenly, the highest level of warning came from the Glass Dragon, which made Ian immediately stop teaching, and directly jumped to the perspective of the Glass Dragon.
As soon as he returned, Ian almost gasped.
At this moment, it is evening, the sunset is sinking into the sea, and the sky and the earth are red. The phantom of the Far Shore Island had appeared on the sea level, and all the soldiers were relieved to have come to the vicinity of their homeland, and the officers were smiling at each other, their faces filled with the joy of 'successfully completing the mission'.
But there was a pale blue star piercing the sky, and the powerful spiritual energy penetrated through the reality of the virtual realm, forcibly breaking a hole in the center of the sky, allowing the hole to flow out of the spiritual quality like a waterfall and river.
The spirit of the sky drifted away, condensing into a sassy ice-blue female phantom, she slowly descended from the gap in the void, came to the front of the farshore island fleet, and greeted the heroes of the kingdom with a smile.
"Lord Cangxing!"
"It's Lord Cangxing!"
For a moment, the entire fleet cheered, and although they soon calmed down and bowed to the woman's phantom that was slowly approaching, their hearts were filled with the joy of being recognized.
Because, the fifth-level powerhouse of the Far Shore Island came to greet them in person!
"Why did you come forward in person!"
And Ian, who was far behind the fleet, immediately mixed himself with the surrounding sea - although he relied on the scales to telepathize, and was more than sixty kilometers away from the Far Shore Island fleet, who knew what special abilities the fifth-level powerhouse had?
In particular, Cangxing is also good at spiritual energy, although it is inferior to Yanjiang and the capital of knowledge, but it is only inferior to the foundation and grassroots, and in terms of strength, they have their own strengths.
Ian wasn't that stupid, he turned himself into a stone, or he was stealthy. Suddenly concealing his breath, it was a proof that 'there was something here', so he just shrunk, contracted his strength and momentum, disguised as an ordinary ironclad shark, as if he was alarmed by the momentum in the distance, so he turned around and left.
And just as Ian turned around and left, he realized that all the eavesdropping scales he had planted on the fleet of the far shore island had been found, and an incomparably powerful pale spiritual energy swept across the realm, tracing the scales to find the source.
But Ian's psionic grade is also extremely high, and even the stars can't shine through.
【…… Hide quickly]
A murmur could be faintly heard, and the massive psionic phantom withdrew its searching hand.
The empress with her long ice-blue hair slowly lowered her right hand, and Cangxing Greed frowned slightly.
She vaguely sensed the breath of the crystal dragon, but searched for hundreds of miles around, but did not find the other party: [Perhaps, the empire must also have a backhand, but since the authority has been obtained, there is no need to entangle with them]
And just when Cangxing no longer paid attention to the possible existence of the 'Crystallized Dragon', he was ready to reward his troops.
Ian was in another hallucination.
And this time, he saw someone else.
It was Cangxing Greed.
In that illusory image, the fifth-level powerhouse was not his enemy...... It's the opposite.
The Tired Empress of the Stars looked at her with a smile and a gentle gaze of anticipation—she reached out and slowly placed a crown encrusted with dazzling pale gemstones on Ian's head.
【Ian Chehalorvo】
Her face continued to deteriorate, and she was almost about to turn into ashes, and she whispered with her last strength: "So far. You are the Lord of the Far Shores, shining on the stars of dreams]
[But always remember that we do not create dreams for the sake of eternal dreams]
[It's to wake up from a dream one day and set foot in a beautiful and real world]
Ask for a commuter pass! Let's see if we can write another chapter when we wake up at night!
