"I see."

The second prince showed a clear expression.

In the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, it would be strange for the Psychic Church not to interfere. It is only logical that they did interfere but were repulsed.

However, Master Gosei did not publicize this matter... There was no need for it, as long as everyone had a tacit understanding. If it weren't for the cooperation between the Empire and the Spiritual Equipment Church this time, Senior Monk Xin Marcy wanted to resolve some of the previous minor conflicts. She probably won't talk about it either.

Xin told the second prince that Ian came first in the examination and revealed his new alchemy technique named 'reuse'.

"It is said."

The great monk praised: "This young alchemist plans to continue to study in this area - he wants to lower the threshold of alchemical potions as much as possible, while slightly lowering the quality of alchemical potions, using the same Materials to create as many potions as possible so that more people can use them.”

"To be honest, few alchemists want to develop in this direction. Most alchemists want to make the best and most powerful potion as possible. I think this young man is very courageous and confident. , he is trying to open up a road in a barren wilderness."

"Yeah?"

Xin's praise was sincere, and it was undoubtedly a potential flattery to the second prince. Although it had not spread around, people who were interested already knew that in addition to being a patrol knight, Ian is now also a knight lord. And it was Mikael who awarded him the reward.

This genius is the direct descendant and supporter of the second prince and the Ellen family in the future, and with his talent, he will definitely become an important minister of the empire in the future.

But after hearing the great monk's explanation, the second prince frowned slightly.

"He is indeed a genius."

He said this with a solemn tone: "However, I saw a bad momentum from his technique."

"sorry."

Shaking his head slightly, Mikael stood up. He apologized to Xin: "I may be absent for a while. There are some things that I have to talk to him in person."

"You still can't sit back and watch a genius go astray."

"personally?"

Xin was stunned for a moment. She watched Mikael turn into a stream of light and disappear in front of her. She couldn't help but feel confused: [...The eleventh observation of Mikael ended: He seemed to be interested in I’m not too interested in the combination of green hair and golden eyes. And take academic matters more seriously than small talk. 】

"Perhaps next time I should bring a paper before discussing cooperation?"

"But this conflicts with the intelligence that Mikael likes to talk about soothing interpersonal problems. It's so complicated."

At the same time, Ian was in his laboratory, admiring the satisfaction that this large laboratory building with an experimental room of more than 400 square meters and a total of five floors including a huge basement brought him.

The medium and large laboratory provided by the Platinum Iridium Workshop for Ian is located in the lower city area around the Imperial Capital. In the 'Triangular Tower Area', more than half of the alchemy workshops and alchemists in the Imperial Capital are gathered here. It is a veritable alchemy city. city.

This alchemy building nominally belongs to Isengard personally, and the blond boy entrusted its management to Ian - in other words, the entire alchemy building now belongs to his private domain.

"to be honest."

Ian said in a daze - for the first time, he felt confused and satisfied with the facts before him: "I never thought that the specifications of the laboratory in the Imperial City would be so...exaggerated."

This even made him wonder what kind of thing could fill this place. He's doing five experiments at the same time? Come on, he is indeed a genius and has a silver chip. It is indeed not difficult to handle five things at the same time, but he does not have five bodies.

"Ha ha."

Isengard patted Ian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have to thank the teacher - the teacher applied in his own name, and I and the Platinum Iridium Workshop funded the construction. And you are qualified to accept it. "

"Because I don't know your tendencies, all laboratories are equipped with relatively comprehensive alchemy equipment. Basically, all the alchemy equipment on the market is available here... But for some unique alchemy equipment that needs to be customized, there is really no way. "

Ian was shocked - listen, what are these words! Because I didn’t know his tendencies, I bought everything available on the market... In theory, shouldn’t I ask him before customizing it?

This is the tone in which rich people speak, and they are extremely envious.

Oh, these rich people are investing for themselves, so that’s okay, come more, come more.

"I have something to do and I have to go back to Zhongcheng."

After Isengard took Ian to the laboratory - or rather, the laboratory building of Director Ian of the Platinum Iridium Workshop, he had to leave temporarily for something else.

Ian actually has nothing to do now. Hua An and Shuangdie went to meet their elf friends. After admiring the laboratory building and determining what customized special equipment he needs, Ian will return to the central city to meet them.

Just when Ian suppressed his joy for a moment, he was about to calm down and calculate what equipment needed to be completed in the laboratory.

A light suddenly came on.

Within the precognitive vision, the silver light mist was filled with blazing light and came to the door of the building.

"Hey, uncle...are you here...to see Ian for something?"

Surprised Ian turned around, and he heard Isengard's surprised voice, and a gentle male voice that was still familiar: "Well. There are some things that need to be discussed with him. You can continue to do your work, but even if you are working in the workshop, It’s very heavy, but you can’t let go of your skills. You also have high potential in alchemy, so don’t let up.”

"Yes. Ian is my best assistant. I will definitely not lag behind him, so that we can work together!" Isengard was also very energetic after being encouraged: "Then I will leave first?"

"Go." The second prince said with some relief: "I can see your recent changes. It's really good, Ethan, keep working hard, the advantages of the Setar family and the Ellen family will be revealed in you."

The conversation between uncle and nephew continued for a few more words, and then Isengard left.

And the second prince's calm tone sounded.

"Can I come in, Ian."

"...Of course, Your Highness." Even inside the building, his voice was not loud. Through the thick soundproof and explosion-proof wall, Ian knew very well that the other party could definitely hear him, just like him.

The young man was silent for a while. He felt a little bad, or in other words, he had an unexpected sense of crisis.

However, he still said slowly: "I very much welcome your arrival."

The next moment, the second prince came to Ian's side.

The second prince Mikael looked very young, like a young man in his early twenties. He did not inherit the tall and handsome figure of Axel, the landkeeper, but inherited his mother's soft facial features, so he looked a bit delicate.

But no one would mistake him for a woman, because the flashing light in his eyes revealed a substantial will... It was a kind of courage that was absolutely impossible to understand without seeing the real person.

One is called powerful. An overwhelming sense of oppression brought about by pure power.

A feeling almost like the scorching heat of the sun.

The human body... is just a container for this fourth-level peak powerhouse. His true essence and appearance cannot be summarized.

At this moment, the second prince Mikael Setar, one of the three people who might succeed to the throne in the future, stood in front of Ian in his true form, seriously looking at the young man in front of him.

Ian also looked at the other party, and there was silence between the two parties for a few seconds.

Then, Mikael was the first to break the silence.

"Is it inherited from my grandfather (Inaga II)?"

The first words he spoke made Ian's heart tighten suddenly - but with the help of the silver chip, he calmly disguised his performance as 'shock' and 'confusion', and his heart immediately began to Think about why the other person said this.

——It's not the silver chip, nor is it the inheritance of Teacher Hilliard... He must have seen some clues from other places, and misjudged part of my intelligence.

With this idea in mind, Ian appears to be panicked on the surface, but in fact he calmly shows that a talented young man happens to be confused everywhere, as well as the wariness hidden in the "deep".

Even Mikael can't see through such a real disguise...especially when the other party is a smart person and already has an answer in his heart.

He nodded slightly, as if confirming something: "Sure enough. The Cejalrovo family was my grandfather's way of preserving some secrets through exile."

"Your alchemy comes from your grandfather's manuscript, right?"

"There is no need to deny that your tendency to 'simplify and popularize alchemical potions' is enough for me to know this."
