Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 189: Ian’s team (2/4)
After seeing off Isengard, Ian sat in the box for a while.
He closed his eyes, thinking about the question.
"Indigenous... yes, indigenous."
Ian muttered to himself: "Yeah, I almost forgot - the natives must have noticed the existence of the Zhanhai crystal dragon earlier than us, and their totem master is probably still raising the one who was injured by the teacher back then." Injuries, so facing a dragon species at the peak of the first energy level, you need to retreat step by step, and even almost lose your lair."
"It is impossible for the natives to be unaware of this matter, they will not sit back and watch the exploration team act."
"Also, where did they get those flying firearms? Although the guards didn't say it clearly, I can also see that this incident is unusual, and the meaning behind it may be similar to that of the Ellen family. The mission is more than less!"
After all, the Ellen family and their mission to capture the Zhanhai Crystal Dragon is just an extra joy, the icing on the cake.
And the changes of the natives and the potential hidden dangers in the Flaming Land can really threaten the daily safety of Port Harrison and Ian!
——No one knows whether Feiyandi, which has been silent for four or five years, has dispatched a special operation force behind enemy lines to plan some secret plan that is unknown to the public?
This kind of thing is really hard to say.
"The top priority now is to determine your own plan and report the news to the elder and the viscount—they are in charge."
The Ellen family, Patrick and the pirates, Viscount Grant, the aborigines and the dark son of the flying flames that may exist behind the aborigines.
Multiple forces gathered in the South China Sea because of Zhanhai Crystal Dragon and some hidden purposes. Their goals are different, and their plans are intertwined to form a complex network.
Ian was able to find the best possibility for himself from this complicated network.
"I really need to make some plans."
Opening his eyes, the young man got up and left Changou Wine House.
The direction he was heading was not the studio in the new town, nor the Viscount's mansion.
It is the guard station in the northwest city area, the Weirong Station near the city wall.
The Guardhouse is essentially a small castle located in the city and rooted at the key point on the bank of the Ewok River. It was a frontier fort built when Harrison Port fought the natives. There are a large number of soldiers stationed all year round, and those who want to attack the city Indigenous forces engaged in a round-the-clock firefight.
With the passage of time, the offensive power of the natives gradually weakened, and the guard station gradually changed from a castle fortress to a central point for stationing and rotating soldiers.
As of now, the natives who have completely lost their initiative to attack can't even get out of the big redwood forest in the north outside the Elephant Bone Mountain.
Ian wore a hood and walked on the road to the west of the city.
Most of the streets in the west of the city were destroyed in the war that year, but they have been rebuilt long ago. Compared with other lively urban areas, the XC area, which had to face indigenous pressure back then, was a bit deserted. The complex streets were laid out like a net, obviously preparing for possible street fighting.
The Weijun Palace is located at the point where all the streets converge. This blue-gray hexagonal castle has towering spires and six built-in alchemy cannons. Its defense is even stronger than that of the Viscount's own mansion.
This is also the style of defensive fortress that humans often build when they open up forests and wilderness.
Ian took off his hood when he came to the guard station, and the guard who wanted to stop him let him go. There was even a guard who walked out to guide him and asked the famous alchemist in the port Want to find someone.
If you are looking for the White People's captain, Lei Li, he should be patrolling the infield now.
"I want to find Captain Scott and ask him about the situation of the northern redwood forest and the indigenous people."
Ian asked with a smile, and the guard who led the way knew immediately, and there was no doubt about him: "Captain Scott has just returned from a shift, and he should be in the equipment warehouse now...do you need me to summon the captain to see you? "
The boy shook his head: "No, I'll just go find him."
Now the entire Port of Harrison knows that this young appraiser has identified a life-extending magic plant... There is no doubt that if there is a plant, there will be a second plant, even if Ian is still young, but as a As an alchemist, researching life-prolonging potions is also an excellent way to improve his level.
It is quite normal for the opponent to find Captain Scott who is in charge of the outfield.
Soon, Ian met Scott,
Six years ago, when the native elders and the Swamp Crocodile invaded Port Harrison and fought with Viscount Grant, several heroes stepped forward and fired alchemy cannons at the most critical moment, accurately and severely wounding the Crocodile. The old injury caused the opponent to flee, thus laying the foundation for the peaceful development of Harrison Port today.
Unfortunately, several heroes died in the follow-up indigenous desperate attack, only the two youngest, Scott, the artillery loader, and Ian, the eight-year-old Ian, the inscription genius who restored the dilapidated artillery. Survive that raid.
Several tower soldiers who died even had their own statues at the ruins of the tower in the east of Port Harrison, and their families were compensated. Ian, who survived, was discovered to have dual talents of alchemy and inscriptions. Today, he is the only alchemist in Port Harrison who is close to the official level and can look forward to the title of master in the future.
As for Scott, he also became the youngest captain of the Harrison Port Guard.
Although he is young, Scott always stands up for danger and is very responsible in the world. He has encountered raids by indigenous hunters a few times, and his team members have been poisoned. The antidote that you carry with you saves a life.
Scott is very popular among the younger generation of guards. If you have to say that his only shortcoming is that he does not know how to adapt, he is too rigid, and he will punish him for mistakes. In this regard, he does not look like a young man at all. People, on the contrary, seem to be old-fashioned middle-aged people in their forties or fifties.
Ian and Scott met in the equipment warehouse. There were two soldiers preparing and inspecting their weapons in the warehouse. After seeing Ian coming in, they left with interest. The warehouse full of armor and bows suddenly became quiet.
"Long time no see, Ian, I'm still wondering when I can help you."
Scott's appearance is quite handsome, with dark brown hair, eyes like dull amber, and a small silver stripe like metal on his face. Like the gem-shaped eyes, this is the symbol of the Iron People.
He just took off his armor at this moment, and he returned from patrolling the field near the sphere of influence of the natives. It seemed that he was afraid that the miasma left on his body would affect Ian, and he even took a few steps back before speaking to the boy.
For Ian, Scott's attitude has always been respectful and enthusiastic. After all, only he knows the truth of what happened back then - he was just a survivor protected by his teammates, and Ian was the one who really saved Port Harrison The hero, just in order not to attract too much attention, gave the credit to himself, the assistant who carried the cannonballs, so that the families of those comrades who died had enough pensions.
This is kindness...a kindness that is enough to make him remember his whole life.
He is also one of the few people who knows part of Ian's talent... At least he knows that Ian's strength and knowledge are far greater than others imagined.
Ian chatted with him about his recent work and situation for a while, and Scott answered seriously, as if reporting to a superior's inquiry. In the past, Ian still wondered if Scott wanted to please him, but later found out that this was the character of the other party. He was such a strict character, and he had great respect and admiration for himself as a benefactor.
It can even be said to be loyal.
Perhaps most of the Iron People are like this? At least the iron people that Ian has met, such as the guards of Mr. Yinfang, have such a personality.
They don't necessarily have to obey other people's orders and submit to others, but they are willing to become part of the power of the "benefactor" when they are sure that a person is stronger than themselves and has a kindness to them.
Until life, or the end of grace.
"I really need your help with something."
Although Scott seems to automatically regard himself as his superior and object of allegiance, which makes Ian have an extra 'team' in the guard for no reason, Ian has always regarded Scott as a friend: "I will go to sea recently, and I will not come back for quite a long time."
"Elan is under the care of Elder Pude, so I don't have to worry about it, but according to my calculations, there will be a storm in the South China Sea in the next week. At that time, I need your help to crush this wooden box and throw it away. To the sea..."
Listening to Ian's words, Scott's expression was very serious, and his standing posture was very upright, like a soldier listening to the chief's lecture. This posture made the young man sigh: "Relax, this is not difficult. You can do whatever you want when you're out on the coast."
"You can't be casual."
Hearing Ian's words, the young soldier raised his head, and he said solemnly: "I firmly believe that behind your simple order, there must be a greater meaning."
"I don't need to know these details, but I must ensure that I will not make any mistakes in these 'casual' places." (To be continued)
