Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 99: Hand touching the stars
The status of the White People in Port Harrison is entirely rooted in Elder Purdue alone. It is not only the personal friendship with Viscount Grant, but also the personal strength of Elder Purdue. Hilliard believes that the other White People do not understand. Clearly, facing Elder Pude's authority, they can only obey and cannot refute.
But for the rights of the "future Elder Bai Zhimin", there must be fools and greedy guys who will feel unwilling and try to attack Ian, the "default elder heir".
"Of course, I can clearly see that the captain of the Red Guard looks down on me."
Picking up an oyster and swallowing the meat with a slurp, Ian is not interested in this kind of thing: "He thinks what is a psychic, anyway, there is no inheritance, no resources, no matter what is the first Energy level——and I am too young, how can I shoulder the big responsibility, he, the sublimator who fought hard for the people of Bai, and fought **** battles for the family and the aborigines, is the real leader!"
"The alchemist, Minin, didn't care about this, but she was dissatisfied that Elder Pude didn't teach her everything. She is Elder Pude's niece, and she secretly satirized her uncle for several times. The kung fu of the bottom box is passed on to 'outsiders' and not to her."
"Haha." Hearing this, Hilliard also laughed, and he felt a little nostalgic for this kind of contradiction that was too lifelike: "But the knowledge of ether armament that Elder Purdue taught you comes from Grant Viscount, without the consent of the Viscount, he can't pass it on privately anyway."
"What's more." He stretched out his hand and rubbed Ian's rain-soaked hair. The source essence evaporated and dried the water: "The inscription is either not or not. She must not be as smart as you. "
"It's boring anyway."
Ian shook his head, and he let the old knight straighten his growing white hair expressionlessly: "That captain is very friendly to me, because my spiritual power can tell which catches can be sold If I pay more money, it may be related to my father, he was the first to directly light up the green favor mark to me."
"And his nephew, Uncle Sai Nan, has a good relationship with me, so he supports me very much."
The source quality of a sublimator is the power of life, which can only be stored in one's own body, and the body structure of hair, which has a simple structure and can be repeatedly superimposed, is a good material for storing source quality.
Ian can easily hunt those wild beasts that contain source quality, which allows him to obtain a large amount of source quality at a young age. No matter how hard he exercises, it is difficult to consume all of it.
As for Elder Purdue's vaccination behavior, Ian can understand, but he is not interested.
He fully understands the importance of interpersonal relationships, and also understands the necessity of various tactics, but he is too lazy to use his brain in this regard, because it is actually a waste.
When he was still on the earth, he was the most standard nerd character. He usually studied ~IndoMTL.com~ stargazing, researched and made manual models.
Singing K, having meals, and class reunions are a waste of time. He would rather stay at home and spend eight hours building a model of the Defender of Truth class battleship than go out to participate in social networking.
It has changed a bit after work, but that's only because Ian has come to understand that socializing with people can save more time at a more critical time by relying on relationships—and occasionally meeting fellows, then It is double happiness.
Because of this, even though he was not interested, Ian did not refuse Elder Pude's invitation to meet with those Bai Zhimin elders one by one.
"How did you solve it in the end?"
Hilliard was very interested, and he asked Ian about the final result: "Even if Elder Purdue did not regard you as his heir, he would not allow other people to show 'dissatisfaction' with his choice even if you He doesn't want to be the leader of the White People in the future, and he won't accept the fact that someone dares to disobey him now."
After all, whether Ian takes over in the future is one thing, but the elder himself can live another twenty years.
If he is not obedient now, he will be fine when he is really old!
"Elder Purdue showed 'my' Wavesinger inheritance to them."
Ian said simply: "Elder Purdue appointed me to decide who can practice the inheritance of the Wavesinger in the future. After all, I got the reward from Viscount Grant, which is very reasonable."
"Captain Reid has given in. His inheritance is a return to his ancestors, because the energy level is too low to pass on to his children—he has three children."
"Smart people."
Hilliard nodded slightly: "No one will have any doubts now."
"But" the old knight said slowly: "Do you really want to be the elder of the White People?"
"Yeah." Putting down the fishbone in his hand, Ian said lazily, he looked at the coastline with surging waves on the other side: "To be honest, teacher, this kind of thing is really boring, but if I am a member of the White People Elders and leaders, many things must be very convenient.”
The boy stared at the surging waves in the distance, and the shadows of fishing boats that could be vaguely seen in the distant sea. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "After all, human beings are social animals, and the more people there are, the more powerful they are."
"If I'm just an ordinary sublimator, at least I can guarantee the safety of myself and Elan."
"If I were Elder Bai Zhimin, I would have the confidence to improve the structure of the ship and make the ship industry in Harrison Port more advanced. It would no longer be limited to the coastal waters, but could develop fishery and commerce, and explore farther afield."
"If I were the governor of Port Harrison, I could try to improve the structure of the alchemy cannon and firecrackers, quell the wars in Nanling for so many years, and build a prosperous city."
"In this way, the surrounding environment will be safer. There will be no wars and vendettas, and I will have less trouble, and I can research what I want with more peace of mind."
Ian's words were as flat as an explanation, without confidence, and without a declarative tone, but it was as natural as eating and drinking, just because everything was taken for granted in his opinion.
However, Hilliard completely believed that he didn't feel that his student's idea was even the slightest bit wrong: "Indeed, you can do it."
After a moment of silence, Hilliard spoke again.
"Ian."
This time, the old knight's tone was slow and erratic, with a long-lasting nostalgia: "Suppose you are a general of the empire, a governor of a province."
"Even, the Emperor of the Empire."
"What would you do?"
After speaking, he waited.
"Haha, there are many things to do, but it is definitely faster than me thinking and doing it alone."
Ian didn't think this topic was strange. He laughed, then raised his head and thought: "I don't understand military affairs, and the general is not easy to talk about, but it's better than the governor of the semi-directed jurisdiction of Port Harrison." With great power, I may use the excuse of military improvement to study alchemy artillery, alchemy rockets and other things, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation."
"Didn't the news come from the businessman recently that the capital of knowledge is building a floating warship? I think I can try it too. They are all rocket ships, and I can do it too."
"As for the governor of the province, there are too many things that can be done. Let's build a material science research center first. I have to study the inscriptions with great concentration. The deconstruction and re-research of the ether armament also has to be mentioned in the plan. There are too many classes, and I feel like I have to make a list all of a sudden.”
"As for the emperor"
Speaking of this, Ian fell into deep thought, and he frowned and fell silent.
While Hilliard waited patiently,
He doesn't think that his student's contemplation and silence are due to fear of the emperor's dignity. During the past few months of living together, he already knows that his student is really a pure person without any fear and natural admiration. own heart.
There is a force in Ian's heart, that pure curiosity is enough to change the world, he just needs a little help.
He firmly believes in this and wants to help his students achieve it.
But first, the old knight wants to know, deep down in Ian's heart, the real desire, ambition
And dreams.
"I"
About a few minutes later, Ian, who thought about a lot of things, conceived a lot of ideas, and wanted to say a lot of things, opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know where to start.
His plans, his lists, his timetable, his research projects all came together to stir his thoughts.
At the end, the boy just sighed, raised his head, and looked at the sky covered by clouds.
Looking at the dark sky where the rainstorm is falling, Ian said softly: "Sure enough, I still want to."
"I want to touch the light of the stars with my own hands."
The heavy rain intertwined into a dark silver curtain between the sky and the sea, and the water flowed along the wide eaves of the giant trees by the sea, forming a series of flowing curtains, dripping on the waterproof oil canvas ceiling of the camp, making porphyria sound.
Hilliard and Ian stared at the sky silently, and there seemed to be lightning flashing across the sky in the distance.
The cloud is rolling.
"Let's go."
Hilliard stood up: "It's time to continue training."
"Yeah." Ian cleaned up the leftovers after eating, and he had regained his strength.
So the master and apprentice continued to exercise until the sun went down.
Until night falls.
