Chapter 168 The Mystery of Immortality (23)

Central Avenue, Hall of the Elders.

"Why didn't you tell the viscount the news?"

This was Elder Purdue's immediate doubts after learning of Patrick's hostility towards Ian: "Even if the two of them have a good relationship, but they have been involved in the internal strife of the Ellen family, at this time, the Viscount must be informed and the At the same time as we pick it out, we should immediately inform the Ellen family of this key information through official channels!"

"I have no proof."

Ian shook his head, he was a little helpless: "You know that I am a prophet, you can believe my words, but do you want me to reveal that I am a prophet? Or do you want to bet on Viscount Grant who you believe more?"

"To be honest, I can't find any clues at the moment... Patrick has no children, and he doesn't tend to either side of the family heir on weekdays. He has no reason to vote for any side at present-he is the future family elder, Ellen The family is already a prestigious industrial host in the southern border."

Speaking of this, Ian also frowned: "What reason does he have to attack Isengarde? Although I have seen it less, I can tell from the performance that the boy respects his uncle very much, and the relationship between the two parties is actually quite good. !"

This is a fact - in Ian's eyes, Patrick actually loves Isengard quite a lot, and the relationship between the two is already very close in a noble family.

Why? Ian is still looking for the answer to this question.

"Too."

Elder Pude also had a headache at this time, especially because this matter is closely related to Ian: "I have another piece of information to tell you about the plans of Viscount Grant..."

He told Ian all the private chats between himself and Viscount Grant, and the young man raised his head in surprise: "There is a child? And he is so kind, willing to give me credit, give me a knight status, and let me leave Harrison." port?"

"of course."

Elder Purdue stroked his beard and let out a long sigh: "In the past, he just wanted to control Harrison Port, and then let the port develop and grow—now that these two goals have been achieved, Ayers naturally has other goals. Intend."

"He has to think about his own future and his heirs. The viscount is already seventy years old, and even if he has fifty years to live, but if he is over a hundred years old, even if he can maintain his full strength in battle, it will never be like what he is now Do everything with your own hands...the power will be transferred to his children, and if you want to develop the white people at that time, he will have no power to suppress you."

"In that case."

The old man said slowly: "It's better to let go."

"Well... indeed."

Ian nodded slightly. After listening to the information, he changed his mind: "Now there is another reason for not telling the Viscount about this—although it is a bit dangerous, I really need this credit. Go to the line of Master Gesai."

"It's okay, the enemy has already exposed their intentions, but they don't know that I already know... They don't even know that my real strength is not just a true form of the Wavesinger."

The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark. For Ian, the risk from Patrick is actually not that great.

Even though the opponent was at the second energy level, according to the psychic prediction, the threat level was not even as high as he went to the core area of ​​the indigenous people. Obviously, he was the kind of civilian who hadn't fought much.

As a double first energy level, facing such a second energy level, even if he is unable to resist directly with absolute strength, he will never lose if he is on guard.

On the contrary, if he can get credit for key missions and connect with the Ellen family and Master Gosse, his benefits will be extremely high.

Therefore, instead of informing the imperial capital and the Ellen family of this news—if the mission is really cancelled, then the person who will come next time will probably be a professional team from the entire imperial capital, and he, a country appraiser, will not be needed.

"That's true. Your Wavesinger inheritance is just an additional function of your sand armor apprentice. With your real strength, even Viscount Grant, as long as you don't use ether armament, you should be able to escape, let alone Patrick. "

Elder Purdue didn't know about the silver chip.

He still believes that Ian's "weak" water control ability is the result of the special construction of the Shakai apprentice.

After confirming his thoughts, the old man nodded, and then reminded: "But, Ian. Unless there is a desperate situation, you can't expose the sand armor apprentice—whether it is Master Gosser or Patrick, they are all old people who have experienced that era, and the sand armor apprentice They are all familiar with the power, if exposed, it is not just your own problem."

"I'm afraid the entire Harrison Port will be razed to the ground, just to find traces of your mentor!"

Elder Purdue also didn't know that Hilliard had passed away, and thought that the other party had just left this area to live in seclusion elsewhere.

"besides."

Speaking of this, Elder Pude smiled: "Didn't you always say that you wanted to use goblin materials to create a weight-reducing alchemy jewelry for yourself? The sand armor apprentice is indeed too heavy, and it is not suitable for you in some places. play."

"Exactly, a few days ago... I bought a piece of material about goblins."

Having said that, under Ian's surprised gaze, the old man got up, and then took out a sealed marble stone box from the secret room of the elder hall without any concealment.

He handed the stone box to Ian, and said with a smile, "I don't dare to misuse the share you got from the appraisal... Just yesterday, Mr. Yinfang said that he had a channel to buy fairy materials, so I used alchemy as an excuse Bought it."

"The other party originally said that they didn't want to take money, but I know that with your personality, you would rather spend money than owe the other party a favor."

"This is really... a surprise!"

Ian was naturally surprised and delighted.

He was indeed willing to spend money, but he didn't expect Elder Purdue to care so much about his past words.

He kept many things from Elder Pude, but most of them were only those secrets that could not be disclosed at all. On the other hand, Elder Pude devoted himself to him very much and never kept any secrets.

The young man took the stone box, and before he opened it, the spiritual energy told him what was inside.

【Fairy Moulting】

A dark blue rich halo is flowing.

Carefully accepting this material, Ian is going to keep it until he goes to the workshop, and then conduct further identification.

Now that the purpose is almost accomplished, Ian wants to ask one last question before leaving.

"Elder, what kind of bloodline or true form did our white people cultivate in those years?"

In order to find out the source of the 'steel bone' on Elan, Ian asked bluntly: "Besides, why was our family exiled to Port Harrison by the late Emperor?"

"You finally asked."

Regarding this question, Elder Pude couldn't help being surprised, but rather emotional: "I thought you would ask four years ago, but I didn't expect you to be so calm and wait until our family has a chance to regain glory before asking."

Stroking his beard, the old man said slowly: "As for the inheritance... what our family inherits is not the blood, but the true form of the 'Silver Peak Messenger'."

When he said this, the elder's tone was full of nostalgia.

He stroked his beard, lowered his eyes with a complex expression: "This is a rather ancient inheritance."

"At that time, our Ciehalorvo family settled around the 'Silver Peak' on the edge of the Huaiguang Mountains, and made a living by extracting high-quality ore from the Silver Peak. Because of the steepness of the mountain, the higher the quality of the ore, the more High above, our ancestors blended the blood of the 'Black Silver Giant Eagle' and the 'Empty Feather Bird' to create the 'Silver Peak Messenger'...a kind of strong, yet extremely light, manipulative steel and wind, that can be The true form of free exploration in the mountains."

"Because he can move freely between the mountains, like a messenger from the sky wearing silver feathers, he is called the messenger of the silver peak."

"At that time, our family could not be called a family, but a group of tribes of white people scattered in the mountains, until an ancestor who became a well-known labyrinth explorer returned to the ancestral land and unified all the tribes with absolute power and wealth , the Cehalolvo family was truly born."

"During this time……"

Talking about the past would go on and on, but Ian listened patiently.

Because this may be the first time in decades that Elder Pude has the opportunity to be so proud...and so lonely to explain the history of the family.

That once repulsed him, and it was indeed where his heart was, the family's past.

"...Probably due to the influence of that ancestor. Even though the family was forced to migrate to the north of the empire because of the first Dark Mountain turmoil, the traditional labyrinth exploration and research has never been abandoned. For hundreds of years, we have been Adhere to the activities of adventure and exploration, and gradually develop influence in the imperial capital, and become a family of labyrinth scholars who play an important role in this regard."

After explaining the family's origin, rise, relocation, rejuvenation and final prosperity, Elder Pude's excited face gradually darkened.

He closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and then slowly opened his mouth and said: "Then, decades ago, when the late emperor was at its peak and oppressed the continent of Terra, our family was banned because of a major discovery about the labyrinth. relegated to exile."

"What is the important discovery?" Having already obtained the information about the family inheritance, Ian continued to listen patiently, and then praised him just right: "Could it be that our family has made an extremely critical discovery, which is kept secret and not reported, so Being punished by the emperor?"

This is the best guess.

But Elder Pude shook his head: "It's not—our family respected...respected that late emperor at that time. It can even be said to be worship, because the other party's support for scholars like us is far greater than that of any emperor. "

"That's why our family, even at the very first moment, told him the mystery about 'eternal life'."
