Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 427: Invitation from the Marquis (3/3)

On the top-floor terrace of the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce, a white-haired boy sat on an armchair, reclined and stared at the starless night in the sky.

The brilliance of the phantom moon was so bright that it stained the edges of the clouds with a layer of silver-blue fluorescent light, beams of moonlight fell down on the ground, and when they reached Shuangshu Town, they were overwhelmed by the lights of the villages and towns.

The streets are full of lights and pedestrians, and the windows of every household are hung with succulents, a small light yellow flower that is commonly seen in the courtyard of a home. It is named because it looks like spots of sunlight falling on the courtyard. In Nanling, it means a good harvest and unexpected wealth.

The so-called curfew cannot really stop a large trade center like Shuangshu Town. No attempt was made to shut down any of the shops, except for manned patrols.

In the final analysis, the chaos around Nauman City is basically fake - the Dragon Worship did not attack the city at all, the people from the Canaan Moor side are also in the city, and the ghosts on both sides are also in the quiet period. A section chief of the Institute of Intellectual Intelligence who was engaged in some affairs died, and the leaders were gone. They all shrank in their own laboratories and did not go out.

Flying flames?

Flying Flame is the one behind it. How can it really cause chaos in Nanling?

That's all, because of a certain knight's actions, several strongholds were pulled out, and the empire surrounded them in the forests and mountains. It is estimated that most of them were withdrawn to the western provinces.

Of course, they may succeed in a certain hive timeline, but at this point in time, Flameland has already exited.

Ian just stared at the lights in the city, while reading the alchemy books in the silver chip in his mind, while eating meat distractedly.

Eat a lot of meat.

The waiters of the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce continuously delivered trays of steaming dishes, including grilled meat with browned skin and sizzling fat, and carefully cooked steamed fish with tender meat.

Even the sweet and sour pork ribs with honey and vinegar that Ian ate in Jinye Town, there are thick juices hanging from the ribs where the bones and flesh are almost separated, and the whole terrace is filled with a strong fragrance.

Ian likes these very much. He chose a poultry leg and bit it off.

It tastes really good. he thinks.

But what really matters is the follow-up.

When the chewed food enters the abdomen, it is immediately crushed by the peristaltic steel-grained gastric sac, and on the inner side of the stomach wall, under the almost metallic abrasive grain, the pure black gland is secreting a special kind of decomposing enzyme , turning all food into a material that can be easily absorbed, and then sent to other digestive systems.

Eating and digestion. The most important activity for the human body to obtain energy and growth materials. A series of chain reactions, manifested externally, is an inexplicable heat flowing up and down Ian's body.

He obviously sensed that the muscle structure in his body was being fine-tuned, and some old fat, which was used as a reserve of energy and insulation layer, was gradually being absorbed by the body and then replaced.

The reason why the steel grain starfish is very unpalatable is because its energy storage structure is too tough. Eating it is like eating rubber inlaid with iron, and ordinary human bodies cannot digest this specialization. Fat, on the contrary, will be like lactose intolerance, and even cause allergies.

And now... because the transformation process is not so fast, Ian is not sure how much defense bonus this transformation can bring him.

But at least, he knows it well.

It's not very tasty.

"But it's not very tasty, it's not bad."

Eating five times the usual amount, Ian even felt that he was still a little unsatisfied. With him as the center, bursts of heat were rising, and even created an updraft on the top floor of the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce.

This is the vision caused by his body running at full strength, digesting food and strengthening his body.

The core of the ancient dragon has also received a large amount of source quality supplements, which almost made up for the consumption of Ian's previous killing of Baron Ryan and the section chief of the Institute of Gnosis.

The ability of the stomach sac to dissolve iron has been confirmed. This digestive organ is indeed one of the sublimation organs that Ian needs most.

"Ian."

And just when Ian finished the experiment and planned to go back to his room to rest.

Suddenly, Mr. Yinfang came over with a serious face and called softly: "I have something to do."

"What is it, sir?"

The boy stopped, and he looked at the other party curiously.

He has never seen Mr. Yinfang look so serious to himself - this kind old man has always been very cheerful, even if he is troubled in his heart, he will cover his expression, and he has never put his worries away like he is now on the face.

"Someone is looking for you. It should be a good thing...but it must be unusual."

The old man didn't know Ian's inner thoughts, he just sighed lightly, then frowned and said: "There is an emissary from the Marquis below."

"Ian, Marquis Barton wants to see you."

"Interesting."

Ian raised his eyebrows, and he laughed: "Then what are you waiting for, I'll go downstairs now."

The emissary of the Marquis of Barton was waiting downstairs. He was a young iron citizen who was dressed like an ordinary adventurer.

He was wearing a dark brown cloak and was carrying a hunting bow. The quiver was covered by the cloak and hung under the leather armor, which looked quite cheap.

Besides that, there were a lot of small pieces of equipment and a scimitar hanging on his belt. The handle of the scimitar was very old, but it was very smooth and clean.

Obviously, if the adventurer hadn't shown the documents from the Marquis of Barton, Mr. Yinfang would never have come to remind Ian so cautiously.

When a nobleman sends such a dark man who has been hiding for an unknown period of time, instead of a knight in full armor, to invite someone.

The situation must be much more dangerous than usual.

"Ian Knight, Lord Marquis invites you, as a representative of Port Harrison, to go to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow to participate in the banquet meeting with the envoy of Canaan Moore."

The messenger said with a blank face, and he took out an invitation card: "The time is before noon tomorrow, please be sure to arrive on time."

The emissary's tone was emotionless, businesslike, and the underlying command meaning was extremely obvious.

However, Ian seemed unable to comprehend this unkind and dangerous omen. Instead, he smiled at the messenger of the Iron People and said one word: "Seven times."

The envoy showed a somewhat puzzled expression, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of the seven times in Ian's mouth, and he was not moved by Ian's words at all.

But the emotional perception brought by the extreme domain made the young man sure that the other party was indeed shocked for a moment.

So, he continued firmly: "Just now you spied on the chamber of commerce three times from the corner of the street, the roof in the distance, and the crowd, and you confirmed where I am."

"Then use your bird partner to determine my position in the sky, and then use the small telescope on your left to determine my movements twice."

"And before you finally came to find me, you used some kind of sublimator ability to confirm my strength again."

"A total of seven times, no one noticed, very cautious, and very powerful."

The adventurer was silent for a while, then smiled, and withdrew the invitation in his hand.

"Ian Knight." He nodded to Ian, took out something from his arms, and said calmly: "You have proved yourself, please forget what I said before."

He handed Ian a badge: "The general invites you to have dinner with him tomorrow evening."

"The general said, it's okay for you to come later, he doesn't mind, but the meat will be eaten up, so I can only drink tea with him."
