Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 103: Patroll Knight (2/10)
"——wife, I'm back—" "Damn it, the child is still there!" "Hey, wait until night, night!"
"Boss, do we really not charge protection fees? With so much money, I'm so jealous..." "Stupid, that's a worker hired by Lord Viscount himself. If you dare to do it, your neck will be hot!" "
"Hey, the price of chicken has risen again. The chicken farm was blown up last year. No matter how much the subsidy is, it is impossible to make it out of nothing." "Why don't we raise the price too?" "How is it possible? Prices..." "Then let's go get the subsidy!" "Silly woman, how can small traders like us get the subsidy..."
"Uncle went out to have dinner with friends today, and I think he will come back very late, just the two of us, what do you want to eat?" "I want to eat, berry stew! Brother, good!" Yes, remember to wash your hands later, and don’t eat with hands that have been playing with ants all day.”
"It is almost impossible to reproduce this new type of alchemy cannon with our workshop in Port Harrison. Its main structure is a pressurized structure, and the strength of the core parts is close to that of polycrystalline black steel secrets. Silver-based alloy is a brand-new sublimation alloy, we can't reproduce it..." "Then reduce the power and try with high-carbon steel. If it really doesn't work, I will apply for ten grams of fine gold from Lord Viscount."
"The natives are too stable recently..." "Do you still want to fight?" "That's not what I mean. I'm afraid they'll start a new job, so I don't feel at ease." "Plant your sugar cane, this kind of thing Ah, it's not our farmer's turn to worry!"
A variety of voices.
One thought at a time.
Different positions, different ideas, different classes.
Different choices, different attitudes, different emotions.
Ordinary people can only hear one, stick to one, and think about one.
But the inspector of the empire, the censor from the imperial capital, [Verges of Flowing Sound], can hear everything.
"Well, Port Harrison has confronted the natives for many years. The Grant family's rule here is deeply rooted, authoritative, and very stable...and has defeated the natives a while ago. It is estimated that it will be very peaceful within ten years."
"However, the basic materials in Harrison Port are insufficient, the food abundance is also flawed, and local officials are also corrupted and bribed. This is the norm in the border areas of the empire."
"Are you planning to copy the latest generation of alchemy artillery from the empire? Although the hard power is definitely not enough, using high-carbon steel, fine gold and heavy iron alloys is also a way out. It seems that the alchemy level of Port Harrison should not be underestimated."
"Start to promote the cultivation of sugar cane... Well, the climate in Harrison Port is indeed quite suitable, and it is also an option."
The knight closed his eyes tightly, but it was faintly visible, and there was a faint light flashing in his eye sockets, as if originating from the depths of his head, body and soul.
Continuing to listen to the voices echoing from the 'imprints', Weggs whispered to himself: "Elan and Ian...is that the name of those two children? A very ordinary family , this Bai Zhimin psyker is very mature, he seems to be the head of the family, and the uncle who doesn't come home in the middle of the night and goes out to drink seems to be eating and drinking."
"I heard that I used to smoke black mushrooms, but I quit in the past two years... probably because I was afraid of my nephew, and the local elders ordered me not to influence my nephew."
"It's not surprising, the family environment of psykers has always been bad."
The knight laughed at himself, and he continued to listen carefully, paying attention: "Oh? I'm teaching my younger brother math...I'm also reciting the content of the inscription, really hardworking."
"Well, life is very regular, very self-control, very smart... At least this is indeed an achievement. If Lord Viscount is not bragging, then he really produced a genius here who can enter the Royal Academy of Alchemy."
End of listening.
Weggs opened his eyes, and there was a light white gleam in the dark green eyes.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's write the report like this, Harrison Port is considered qualified."
"The work is over...the next thing is business."
The knight got up, he stood on the reef, looking at the sea in the distance, the psychic light in his eyes gradually dimmed, revealing those deep green eyes: "Teacher—you must have been back here."
He muttered to himself: "Where are you?"
Late at night.
When Hilliard was about to return home, he saw a code at the door.
This is an agreement between him and Ian, which represents a signal of vigilance.
"...Oh?"
Squinting his eyes, recalling the recent rumors in Port Harrison, the old knight already understood.
He quietly came to the courtyard and found that Ian was sitting on a logging stake practicing breathing guidance.
"Teacher, there are sublimators of the second energy level who use spiritual power to monitor us."
Noticing Hilliard's arrival, Ian stood up gently, motioned for the old knight to bend down and lower his head, and whispered in the other's ear: "He has the ability to monitor, teacher, you can pretend to be out drinking Come back, just find any reason, we may need to put on a show recently..."
Ian talked about his own handling methods and the script he had thought up before, and Hilliard nodded slightly: "Well, very good."
He patted Ian on the shoulder and agreed: "Very good, Ian, if it weren't for you, I might be exposed today."
"Huh?"
Ian is a little puzzled: "Exposed? At most, I think our family is a bit strange. Teacher, will you come home late?"
"Osenna is not a family-friendly persona, isn't that particular?"
"No."
But Hilliard shook his head, and he said solemnly: "I think it should be an acquaintance of mine who used psychic power to monitor Elan this time. If I don't act in advance, I'm afraid I will soon Be exposed."
"The inspector of the empire... that is his dream, and now that the dream has come true, I don't know whether it is good or bad..."
The old knight was silent for a while, and then sighed softly: "He came to Harrison Port, certainly not only to complete the work of the empire - he came after me."
——Is it an acquaintance of the teacher in the past, or an enemy now...
Ian is thoughtful, but he is not surprised by this.
It would be better to say that, as my teacher, the most wanted criminal in the empire, it would be strange for someone to chase after him after two years.
Looking at it now, the other party should still be suspicious, collecting information in his spare time, not 100% sure that Hilliard is in Port Harrison, and it is not clear whether Hilliard is hiding in a corner Life is still wandering in the mountains.
Even if the other party has the ability to easily collect all kinds of information, it is impossible to quickly dispel these doubts.
And this doubt will inflate over time, until it leads to disappointment.
"In other words, it only needs to be dragged on long enough, will he leave on his own after his job is over?"
The boy talked to himself like this.
