After seeing off Isengarde, Ian sat in the box for a while.

He closed his eyes, thinking about the question.

"Indigenous... yes, indigenous."

Ian muttered to himself: "Yeah, I almost forgot - the aborigines must have noticed the existence of the Zhanhai crystal dragon earlier than us, and their totem master is probably still recovering from the injury that was injured by the teacher back then, so Facing a dragon species at the peak of the first energy level, it needs to retreat step by step, and even almost lost its lair."

"It's impossible for the natives to be unaware of this matter. They won't just sit back and watch the exploration team act."

"Also, where did they get those flying firearms? Although the guards didn't say it clearly, I can also see that this incident is unusual. The meaning behind it may have something to do with the mission of the Ellen family. More than anything!"

After all, the Ellen family and their mission to capture the Zhanhai Crystal Dragon was just an extra joy, the icing on the cake.

However, the changes of the natives and the potential hidden dangers in Feiyan Land can really threaten the daily safety of Port Harrison and Ian!

——No one knows whether Feiyandi, which has been silent for four or five years, has dispatched a special operation force behind the enemy to plan some secret plan that is unknown to the public?

This kind of thing is really hard to say.

"The top priority now is to determine your own plan and report the news to the elder and the viscount—they are the ones in charge."

The Ellen family, Patrick and the pirates, Viscount Grant, the aborigines and the dark son of the flying flames that may exist behind the aborigines.

Many forces gathered in the South China Sea because of Zhanhai Crystal Dragon and some hidden purposes. Their goals are different, and their plans are intertwined to form a complex network.

However, Ian was able to find the best possibility for himself from this complicated network.

"You really need to plan."

Opening his eyes, the boy got up and left the Changou Wine House.

The direction he was going was not the studio in the new town, nor the Viscount's mansion.

It is the guard station in the northwest city, the garrison near the city wall.

The garrison is essentially a small castle located in the city and rooted at the key points on the banks of the Ewok River. It was a frontier fortress built when Harrison Port fought with the aborigines. Fourteen hours of firefights.

As time went by, the offensive power of the natives gradually weakened, and the garrison gradually changed from a castle fortress to a central point where soldiers were stationed and rotated.

But now, the aborigines who have completely lost the right to take the initiative to attack can't even get out of the northern redwood forest outside the Elephant Bone Mountain, and the garrison has completely become a police station, similar to the patrol station in the city.

Ian wore a hood and walked on the road to the west of the city.

Most of the streets in the west of the city were destroyed in the war that year, but they have been rebuilt long ago. Compared with other bustling urban areas, the XC area, which had to face the pressure of indigenous people back then, was somewhat deserted. The complex streets were laid out like a net, obviously preparing for possible street fighting.

The garrison is located at the point where all the streets converge. This blue-gray hexagonal castle has towering spires and six built-in alchemy cannons. The defense is even much stronger than the Viscount's own mansion.

This is also the style of defensive forts that humans often build when they open up forests and wilderness.

Ian took off his hood when he arrived at the garrison, and the guards who wanted to stop him immediately let him go. There was even a guard who walked out to guide him and asked the famous alchemist in the port if he wanted to find him. who.

If it was looking for the White People's captain, Lei Li, he should be patrolling the infield by now.

"I want to find Captain Scott and ask him about the situation of the northern redwood forest and the indigenous people."

Ian asked with a smile. The guard who led the way knew immediately, and there was no doubt about him: "Captain Scott has just returned from a shift, and he should be in the equipment warehouse now... Do you need me to summon the captain to see you?"

The boy shook his head: "No, I'll go find him."

Now the entire Port of Harrison knows that this young appraiser has identified a life-extending magic plant... There is no doubt that if there is a plant, there will be a second plant. Even if Ian is still young, as an alchemist As a magician, researching life-extending potions is also an excellent way to improve your level.

It is no longer normal for the opponent to find Captain Scott, who is in charge of the outfield.

Soon, Ian saw Scott,

Six years ago, when the native elder and Swamp Crocodile invaded Port Harrison and fought with Viscount Grant, several heroes stepped forward and fired alchemy cannons at the most critical moment, accurately injuring Crocodile's old wounds, It caused the other party to flee, thus laying the foundation for the peaceful development of Port Harrison today.

Regrettably, several heroes were killed in the follow-up indigenous desperate attack. Only the youngest two, Scott, the artillery loader, and Ian, the eight-year-old genius who restored the dilapidated artillery, recovered from that battle. Survive the raid.

The few tower soldiers who died even had their own statues at the ruins of the tower in the east of Port Harrison, and their families were compensated. Ian, who survived, was discovered to have dual talents in alchemy and inscriptions. The only alchemist in Port Harrison who is close to the official level and can look forward to the title of master in the future.

As for Scott, he also became the youngest captain of the Port Harrison Guard.

Although he was young, Scott always stood up when he was in danger, and he was very responsible in the world. He encountered raids by indigenous hunters a few times, and his team members were poisoned. The antidote saved a life.

Scott is very popular among the younger generation of guards. If you have to say that his only shortcoming is that he doesn't know how to adapt, he is too rigid, and he will punish him for mistakes. In this regard, he does not look like a young man at all. Like a rigid middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Ian and Scott met in the equipment warehouse. There were two soldiers preparing and inspecting their weapons in the warehouse. After seeing Ian coming in, they left with interest. The warehouse full of armor and bows suddenly became quiet.

"Long time no see, Ian, I'm still wondering when I can help you."

Scott was handsome, with dark brown hair, dull amber eyes, and a small metallic silver streak across his face. Like the gem-shaped eyes, this is the symbol of the Iron People.

He had just taken off his armor at this moment, and he had returned from patrolling the field near the sphere of influence of the natives. It seemed that he was afraid that the miasma left on his body would affect Ian, and he even stepped back a few steps before speaking to the boy.

For Ian, Scott's attitude has always been respectful and enthusiastic. After all, only he knew the truth of what happened back then - he was just a survivor protected by his teammates, and Ian was the real hero who saved Port Harrison. Just in order not to attract too much attention, he distributed the credit to himself, the assistant who carried the cannonballs, so that the families of those comrades who died had enough pensions.

This is kindness...a kindness that is enough to make him remember his whole life.

He is also one of the few people who knows part of Ian's talent... At least he knows that Ian's strength and knowledge are far greater than others imagined.

Ian chatted with him about his recent work and situation for a while, and Scott answered seriously, as if reporting to a superior's inquiry. In the past, Ian still wondered if Scott wanted to please him, but later found out that this was the character of the other party. He was such a strict character, and he had great respect and admiration for himself as a benefactor.

Even... it can be said to be loyal.

Perhaps most of the Iron People are like this? At least the iron people that Ian has met, such as the guards of Mr. Yinfang, have such a personality.

They don't necessarily have to obey other people's orders and submit to others, but they are willing to become part of the power of the "benefactor" when they are sure that a person is better than themselves and is kind to them.

Until life, or the end of grace.

"I do need your help with something."

Although Scott seems to automatically regard himself as his superior and object of allegiance, which makes Ian have an extra 'team' in the escort for no reason, Ian has always regarded Scott as a friend: "Recently I'll be out at sea for a while, and I won't be back for quite a while."

"Elan is under the care of Elder Pude, so I don't have to worry, but according to my calculations, there will be a storm in the South China Sea in the next week. At that time, I need your help to crush this wooden box and throw it into the sea... ..."

Listening to Ian's words, Scott's expression was very serious, and his standing posture was very upright, like a soldier listening to the chief's lecture. This posture made the young man sigh: "Relax, it's not difficult, you are in the field You can do it anywhere along the coast.”

"It can't be casual."

Hearing Ian's words, the young soldier raised his head, and said solemnly, "I firmly believe that there must be a greater meaning behind your simple order."

"I don't need to know these details, but I must ensure that I will not make any mistakes in these 'casual' places."
