Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 165: The surging undercurrent (3/3)
"Oh?"
Pat's tone was puzzled: "After discovering such a thing, the teacher still intends to continue to complete the task?"
"Of course."
Master Goser's voice was calm: "Patrick, it's actually a very simple truth... The farther you are from the imperial capital and Ellen Territory, the safer Ethan is—in this remote Harrison Port, there are Who can suddenly mobilize power to threaten Yi Sen who has the protection of both of us?"
"On the contrary, if you go back rashly, you may encounter accidents, not to mention that if you don't complete His Majesty's mission, the relationship between Madam and His Majesty will also decrease?"
"It's better to say that we must complete the task. Only with Elan, whom His Majesty appreciates, can we guarantee our own safety."
"That's the problem." The man said thoughtfully, "The task is difficult."
"Indeed."
Put down the bracelet in his hand, the old man pondered for a while, then got up, and took out a map from the package on the side.
Lay out the map and put it on the long table. You can see that this is a map of the sea area that is even more detailed than the map in the mansion of Viscount Grant.
And among them, at the 'Yeguang Sea', it is marked with a different color of gold.
"The original element crystal shell can only be said to be a surprise. It can enrich the harvesting channels of element crystals in coastal areas... but it is not enough to attract so much attention from His Majesty."
Master Gesai was staring at the map in front of him at the moment. There were small dots drawn on it, which marked the production points of various elements of crystal shells, as well as the situation of other sublimated creatures in the surrounding area.
"However, the appraiser of the Royal Alchemy Association detected a breath of a high-ranking dragon species from the empty shells of those element crystal shells."
The old man's expression is solemn, even Patrick is very cautious.
Crystal Dragon, a rare and peculiar species of dragon, usually only appears around the seabed ore veins.
There are crystal dragons along the coast of Nanling that no one has ever thought of, not to mention the variant of the crystal dragon 'Zhanhai Crystal Dragon' - this variant will only appear in the formed sea maze, and it is the crystal dragon that is powerful A mutant individual caused by the infection of the psionic field.
It is a joke to say that the empire lacks the material of a crystallized dragon... but the labyrinth species is hard to come by.
Most of the labyrinth monsters are far stronger than the same kind, and their materials are necessary for some special high-level inheritance.
"No way."
Whispering to himself, Master Gosai sighed and said to himself: "After the Dark Moon turmoil, the original sea labyrinth of the empire was destroyed in various infighting. Although it has been rebuilt on the original site, the ecology has not yet recovered. Crystal Dragon is one of them."
"Indeed."
Patrick obviously understands the importance of this point, he squinted his eyes and stared at the golden marked area on the map: "It's okay for the princes and princesses to say that the reserve is still enough."
"But if the group is not restored, the future inheritance will definitely be determined by other countries."
With the strength of the empire, although it is no longer at its peak, it is not difficult to purchase materials for crystallized dragons.
The problem is that high-level Warcraft materials are originally strategic resources, and occasional interaction is a kind of strategic exchange, but if the Central Empire purchases the same kind of Warcraft materials for a long time, it is enough to prove that their internal potion circulation system has extremely serious problems. The big problem is that high-end strategic materials are limited by people.
How could it be easy to capture the crystallized dragon?
Not to mention that the common place of production is in the territory of other countries, even if it is really captured, how can it be transported back to the maze controlled by the imperial capital?
"Even, spies from other countries can't be aware of this, so they can only send us to act."
Master Gesai shook his head slightly: "This is Your Majesty's trust, we must not let it down - juvenile crystallized dragons feed on elemental crystal shells, and to find crystallized dragons, you need the keen perception of the young appraiser .”
"Although I can do the same thing, but in terms of efficiency... After all, it is a man-made psionic ornament without 'desire' lodged in it. After all, it is inferior to that young man."
"It's for nothing to take advantage of Ayers and that young man."
Holding his hands on his chest, Patrick said a little unhappy: "He is really lucky. There is a medium-to-large maze next to his own territory. I don't know if he can live in it..."
"Isn't that why the Black King sent Old Grant here?"
Master Gesai shook his head slightly, he hunched his back and paused his crutches: "I'm going to rest, let's talk about the next thing tomorrow."
"Okay. Pay attention to rest, teacher." The blond man sighed, then turned his head and left.
The old man reminded: "Remember to inform the Marquis and his wife to let them start the review of internal personnel as soon as possible! This second layer of inscription structure is definitely made by elite inscription craftsmen. People with this kind of help ...the strength is not small!"
"I know." Patrick agreed.
He left Master Gosser's room, walked out of Boin's workshop, came to the street, and then left Harrison Port quietly with a leap.
No one walks on the riverside along the port at night, and there are no wild animals. The surrounding is a quiet darkness, and only a few insects can be heard. Patrick landed on the top of a pine and cypress tree in the night wind. Not far away, the lights of Harrison Harbor shone brightly in the darkness, creating a hazy halo in the South China Sea at night.
The man stared at the city. Fifteen years ago, it was only in its infancy. The towering city walls were full of traces of battles. When night fell, the entire city was only lit by patrols and fire from towers.
But now, it has become a spark that the empire ignited in the wild and dark place. The fire is burning. His experience and knowledge tell him that this place will become a prosperous business center in the future, and become a The shining pearl between the mountains and the sea.
"I'm really... envious."
Sighing slightly, Patrick closed his eyes and was silent for a while.
When he opened it again, his expression became firm: "Although I am not a nobleman with my own territory."
"But this time... Ayers, I won't lose."
He took out a crystal plate from his pocket, and then took out a special pen, and began to write rapidly on it.
The east side of Nanling.
The junction of the Yongji Ocean and the South Coast.
"Oh... The boss sent a message... Let me see what instructions the adults have..."
Beside the dense sea of algae, in the pitch-black waters shrouded in clouds, a fleet of large and small ships stopped in place.
The largest ship is more than 50 meters long, while the smallest is less than 20 meters long. It is not so much a ship as a ship.
The entire fleet is shrouded in a layer of hazy fluorescence, which complements the faintly lit fluorescence in the sea of algae.
"The summons came in the middle of the night, our boss can order people better than our elf master."
And on the largest ship in the center, there was a lazy voice, although the boss and adults were in the mouth, but there was not much awe from the heart: "Well, the plan is to speed up? It is going to be a surprise attack so soon Is it? But I haven't summoned all the wandering pirates here..."
Accompanied by the sound of deep thought, the sound of strokes rubbing against the crystal plate can be vaguely heard.
The one who made the sound was a young and handsome 'human' with dark green long hair.
His forehead was tightly bound by a long black cloth, and his pure gold almost pupilless eyes and long pointed ears all proved his identity as a pure blood elf.
Elf pirates off the coast of Canaan Moor have basically become a regional feature. These loose elves who refuse to obey the rule of the elf court are not so much bandits as a group of freelancers—they undertake all types of tasks. , including armed darts, commercial escorts, plundering competitors, exploring mazes, exploring isolated islands, and various special tasks such as digging pearls, chasing shells, catching conch shells, and being a mercenary.
Because of the unique oath culture of the elves, as long as the elves can make an oath, there is basically no need to worry about the credibility of the other party.
As for the trivial matter of raiding a certain country's exploration ship, it is really not worth mentioning.
The elf pirate was writing quickly on the crystal plate at the moment, but the speed of the other side's reply was impressively slow.
"Captain, the boss' mission is about to be advanced?"
Until the voice of the chief mate sounded from the side of the elf pirate: "What happened, didn't the boss say it was safe?"
"There is a loss now - the boss has encountered a powerful person, and the hidden method has been seen through, so we can only use our safe force method 2. And now our target is vigilant and difficult to deal with."
Putting down the crystal pen in his hand, the elf pirate frowned slightly: "We are going to raid the survey ship that the target is on in five days, and the boss has no reason to be there at that time, so we only need to face a second-level high-level alchemist." And a few first energy levels... It's okay, at least we don't need to send out troops to pretend to deal with the boss, just bombard the boss with long-range artillery and surround the sea area."
"Oh, by the way, he also asked us to add a must-kill list... A young, fourteen or fifteen-year-old Bai Zhimin, who can be recognized at a glance. I asked how good-looking he was, and he said he was better than us The elves are all pretty."
"Haha." The first mate laughed: "That's really obvious, but compared with those masters, we are a bit rough."
"It's not a nobleman, but a commoner—does the boss have a grudge against young people? Why does he always have trouble with young people of this age?"
Tsk-tsk, the pirate captain shook his head: "It's not a big problem, it's just that we're going faster, without the boss secretly covering up the signal, if we raid the survey ship alone, that Viscount Grant may drive the ether Armed and over."
The elf pirate's dark green hair dangled, and he raised his finger: "Fortunately, the sea protects us."
So saying, he raised his head and looked at the distant and dark horizon.
There, there is a vast sea of clouds looming, and the elf with long dark green hair smiled and said: "We will continue to wait...we will wait for the survey ship to explore for a few days before making a move...or let's say, we will wait for the storm."
"At that time, it was our home field."
At the same time, Ian frowned and boiled a pot of potion, and put it into the mouth of Elan who was having a high fever.
