Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 144: Omen of death (1/4)
"How's it going, Ian? Any results?"
When Ian walked down the stairs with a serious face, he was walking back and forth in front of the counter of the grocery store. Sai Nan, who didn't hide even the slightest anxiety, suddenly smiled.
He stepped forward and asked urgently, "What's the result?"
Because Ian watched him seriously and realized his gaffe, Sai Nan coughed lightly, and then managed to return to normal: "I... have been in a hurry to spend money recently, and I'm a little anxious."
"Hmm..."
After pondering for a while, Ian maintained his pressure on Sai Nan, and then slowly said: "Very good, Uncle Sai Nan... what you sent is a radiation variant of Taixi fluorescent algae, with With a little thunder source quality, it is a very high-quality raw material for inscription light ink."
"Together, this bag is worth a complete Warcraft material, and at least five bottles of first-level high-level high-quality light ink can be made. The price of this generation of algae is about 140 talers or more .”
The glossy ink Ian himself used to make the anti-shock armor is all incompetent-level ordinary glossy ink. Although a bottle costs more than a dozen talers, it is only a premium in Port Harrison.
As for the inscription light ink of the first energy level, a bottle starts at seventy talers, which can be used to manufacture the core ignition module of the alchemy cannon. It is considered a strategic material reserve, and the price is naturally extremely high.
So saying, Ian opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, his tone raised slightly: "Recently, there are a lot of elf pirates on Canaan Moore, and the goods can't arrive. The city hall and the alchemy workshop are both worried."
He leaned forward slightly, and asked tentatively: "How about I pay for it?"
"Although the success rate of my alchemy is not high, if the success rate is more than half, I can make money. It's a good time to practice the technique of making light and ink."
One hundred and forty talers is a really huge sum of money. The annual salary of the guards of the Viscount's mansion is only this amount. Of course, the attendance allowance is not comparable.
Ian's appraisal results are not much except for the share of Elder Purdue and Viscount Grant, and most of them are invested in the daily consumption of alchemy inscriptions, as well as the food and clothing of him and the Elland brothers.
But even so, no one doubted that Ian was unable to come up with the money.
The white-haired boy stared at the fisherman in front of him. Theoretically speaking, if Sai Nan really wanted to sell for money, he should be overjoyed at this time——after the appraisal, there is no need to find a buyer, and no need to worry about being cheated. The one who came down was his acquaintance with a good relationship, and Ian would not give him a low price to cheat him.
It is very convenient for everyone to earn money.
It can be said that selling this bag of fluorescent algae to Ian is the best choice in theory.
But Ian noticed that Sai Nan's expression became visibly flustered.
"Uh..."
It can be seen that the fisherman has thought about the reason as much as possible. He racked his brains and said intermittently: "This bag of fluorescent algae... um. It has been ordered!"
"Although their price is about the same... But, how to say, I'm not at ease! So, I came to you to see the price..."
Speaking of this, it undoubtedly took Sai Nan a lot of effort to fabricate lies to Ian. His face and ears were a little red and he said: "Yes, that's it, I'm sorry, Ian, this bag of fluorescent algae can't Sell it to you!"
"That's it."
The young man Bai Zhimin sighed. He sat on his counter with his elbows on his knees, propped his face helplessly and said, "So you are really here to appraise things on behalf of others?"
"Huh? This..."
In the first moment, Sai Nan's brain crashed, and he tried hard to refute, but in the end he couldn't form a sentence: "No, I'm not... this..."
Seeing this, Ian could only shake his head sympathetically: "Oh, Uncle Sai Nan, next time you lie, remember to prepare a good draft, and don't lie to me, I have psychic powers. Of course, it's best not to lie to others. People lie, you are not suitable for this kind of thing."
"Now."
At this moment, water-colored brilliance lit up in his eyes: "Tell me what's going on."
"It's about your life, don't lie this time."
Outside the window, the clouds in the distance of Harrison Port are surging, and an early spring thunderstorm is gathering.
In the windless house, he stared at the nervous middle-aged fisherman.
Accompanied by the flames igniting in the depths of his eyes, and the invisible power spreading, Ian saw a mass of deep black air permeating Sai Nan's eyebrows.
And the scarlet blood covered his whole body, thick and thick, carrying a biting murderous intent.
——A sign of death.
At this moment, Ian looked solemn, and he stared at the fisherman in front of him who didn't dare to speak: "Is he threatened by someone, or was he involved in some conspiracy? If there is any unspeakable secret, I can ask Elder Pude to solve it." .”
"Tell me the truth and we can help you."
Ian's words are soft and gentle, but very convincing.
Mutual help between communities is not empty talk in this era, but the most important way to unite a community family - Ian's preferential identification, and even the use of spiritual powers to help select catches, Exploring herbs are all such help.
Ian's promise, now, can be regarded as the promise of "Elder Pu De", or even the promise of "People of White".
With his current status and status, he is fully qualified.
Ian believes that if Sai Nan was only threatened by some external sublimation person, or he cooperated with dangerous people, and he has not figured out the status, he should confess to him now.
But to the young man's surprise, even though he had said it so clearly, Sai Nan's expression was still uncertain, as if he wanted to say something, but it was still difficult to speak.
"It's really going to die."
Aware that his old friend was still hesitating, even Ian was a little angry: "You know I'm not lying——my psychic premonition is very strong, and you are very dangerous now!"
"For example, it's like putting a layer of honey and sesame oil on yourself, and going to the indigenous camp naked to take a risk!"
Of course, Sai Nan is not the kind of person who doesn't listen to persuasion. In fact, the first time Ian spoke, he thought about whether to confess.
Others don't know, but can he still not know how strong Ian's psychic premonition is?
As psykers of the perception and detection department, their psychic premonitions can vaguely perceive good and bad things about themselves, so they can choose not to go out at a specific time to avoid disasters.
As for a 'genius' with extremely high perception like Ian, he can even foresee the disasters of others and even objects.
If there is a premonition, the flower pot will be smashed, the horse will stumble, and the human will have an accident.
If you don't obey, Kamai who was swallowed alive by the sharp-clawed tiger three years ago, Icaro who was skinned by the robbers the same year, the Omo Brothers who were swept away by the tide two years ago, and the inexplicable one and a half years ago Ms. Shaka, who disappeared in the mountains and was probably eaten by the natives, is the best example.
Why not in the last year?
Because everyone believed Ian's words in the past year!
Whether anyone believes in it or not, no one knows.
But those who don't believe are dead, and everyone can still see it.
Not to mention, Ian's ability has been approved by Viscount Grant!
It is said that in the typhoon a year and a half ago, it was his early warning that saved a merchant ship of the Viscount from being capsized by the storm and a large merchant ship. A dozen sailors and almost six thousand talers loss of goods.
Since then, Viscount Grant even arranged for Ian to have a vacant job in the alchemy workshop. Even if he doesn't work, he can still receive three Thaler's remuneration per week, as well as various subsidies.
It was also the premonition reminder that all the people of Bai basically acquiesced in the identity of Ian's future elder heir.
—Nonsense! Who doesn't want the leader of their own family to lead the big guys to turn bad luck into good luck and avoid losses?
Even if it's not that accurate, at least it's better than others!
"Is it so dangerous... I thought it was just a big order, a group of monster hunters..."
With a dignified expression, Sai Nan is indeed a good person. He said to himself with fear: "No wonder they insisted that I not disclose the information, so I said why there is such a strange request..."
He didn't lie, and he didn't come to appraise the goods on behalf of others—the price of the seaweed was his deposit.
It's just that the group of 'clients' want him to return the identification results and seaweed for research after he comes back, and they pay cash instead.
But it would be better to say that he is a very nice person, so after thinking that his confession might cause trouble to Ian and other Bai people, Sai Nan began to hesitate whether to tell the truth frankly.
