Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 408: Dragon Worship: I am the one to blame this time? (3/3)
Ian thought of Baron Ryan.
Before the exposure, this nobleman who was loved by the people, if you don't count the fact that he went crazy and arrested people for experiments, then his reputation in the local area is very high.
Because the baron will subsidize the local residents with the money earned from the sublimation and spiritual plants such as Xiahui grass, so that they can grow normal crops, buy food for storage, and ensure the stability of food prices, so that everyone can feel at ease settled in his domain.
Why? Because even if he gave the entire territory a subsidy for a hundred years, it would not be as profitable as his fire dragon burning a warehouse and a load of Xiahuicao.
The ecology of nobles and sublimators has become out of touch with ordinary people. The resources needed by the former are impossible to obtain by oppressing the latter. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to hunt wild beasts and monsters frequently, and even if the former has piled up grains from more than a dozen granaries, it is impossible for the former to use them to sublimate themselves.
But this made Ian feel a little worried.
For such a civilized system with a system that is biased toward primitiveness, such a 'decoupling' is essentially a fracture at the level of life... This is not even a matter of class solidification.
The ecology is completely staggered.
"A sublimator of the fifth energy level...even the battle cannot take place on the planet. A dragon skimming the surface at twenty times the speed of sound is enough to destroy ten cities."
Watching the laughter of the residents of Shuangshu Town in front of him, Ian has an extremely complicated emotion in his heart: "The only value ordinary people have for high-level sublimators... is to select new sublimator seeds."
"There is no other meaning beyond that."
After being silent for a while, Ian shook his head and stopped thinking about this question.
He bid farewell to Mr. Yinfang and came to Shuangshu Town.
It took about five minutes for Ian to find his target in a tavern.
The green-haired elf was sitting contentedly at the corner of the noisy restaurant. Although it was still very noisy here, at least it was not easy to be noticed.
But because of his appearance, it was a bit difficult to keep a low profile. Anfa politely rejected three waves of people who invited him to drink with him, and one of them was even a man.
Whether the other party is a man or a woman, Anfa is always very polite. His family education is absolutely extraordinary. It has something to do with the Dragon Worship Sect, and if it can attract a dragon to find him, then his performance may be quite ordinary in his own opinion.
"I don't drink, don't mind if I drink tea."
Ian strode over, and then stood in front of Anfa under the surprised gaze. Ian's tone was intriguing: "Bachelor Anfa, your whereabouts are really secretive."
"Guide Knight, I didn't expect to meet you here."
The elf scholar smiled and cleared the wine bottles for the table on Ian's side: "I don't really like drinking, but it is obviously more sensible to blend into the local atmosphere."
Ian sat down with a smile and looked at the other party seriously, and Anfa returned a polite smile.
Just the young man's next sentence made the bachelor's expression stunned: "Your friend found me yesterday and asked me where you are, but I thought you had already returned to the mountain, so I suggested him to go back to the mountain." Looking for you."
"I didn't expect to see you in the town today. I'm a little embarrassed now. I'm afraid that guy's trip was in vain——I didn't deliberately lie to him."
"He... came out to find you and asked me where I was?"
The elf scholar also became a little dazed now. He shook his wine glass, blinked his eyes, and his golden pupils were full of absurdity: "Nonsense, too much nonsense... Sorry, guide knight, this is definitely not your fault."
Responding, Anfa stood up and saluted Ian very politely: "My friend and I miscommunicated, your guess is correct, if it is not an accident, I will not go the same way Go back to Shuangshu Town."
"It's not a big problem." Ian didn't say a single lie, and told Anfa the facts directly: "Let's go to find your friend tomorrow morning, and you may meet him in a few days. He rides a pony , the speed should not be fast..."
This time the young man came here to find Anfa, it was on purpose.
Early when he left Ryan's collar, he realized that someone was following him, and there were more than one.
One of them is Theo, the dragon in disguise.
It is not clear which side the other belongs to.
It may be because of the Dragon Worship Sect, that is, the involvement of the Anfa line; it may also be because of the relationship between Lai'an and the Lingzhi Academy.
Although Xiou volunteered and said that he could help solve this problem, how could Ian agree.
He is not stupid, let this dragon help him drive away the pursuers behind him, if he is discovered, then wouldn't he become a Dragon Worshiper somehow?
If he was an ordinary knight, the investigation would be over. It is not surprising that dragons like to play tricks on people.
But Ian can't stand the investigation.
He really has an ancient dragon core!
Because there is really a cow, the problem becomes troublesome... Ian even guessed that the dragon was just like the mountain elders he met at the mouth of the Indigo Mountain before. He deliberately ran over to test himself and win him over.
Ian is indeed very interested in Dragon Worship, especially the information related to ancient dragons. It will definitely take a long time to obtain from normal channels.
But with his current status, it is obviously unwise to have a relationship with the Dragon Worship Sect for no reason.
But that doesn't mean that Ian can't use the other party's power.
For example, hinting that Anfa should leave Shuangshu Town to find Xiou.
In this way, if the second person chasing him leaves him and goes to find Anfa, it means that the other person is coming for the Dragon Worship Cult—this will save a lot of trouble, Xiou must have a way Get rid of each other.
And I found an opportunity to help out, and by the way, asked how this group of people sensed the aura related to dragons on my body, so he could suppress it.
This matter is quite important.
Ian believes that the reason why he has a blood-red fate as soon as he enters Nauman City in the vision of foresight is that he has not dealt with the dragon blood breath on his body, and is still searching for the power of the Dragon Worship Found.
The reason why waiting for a period of time is much less dangerous is because the person who can sense the dragon's blood has left.
It's only a moment to go, what matters is the next life.
How could Ian go to the imperial capital without solving the problems related to dragon blood? It's nothing more than a rural place like Nanling, the imperial capital must have relevant experts.
And the second possibility.
If the other party is not here for Anfa, but for me...
That matter is much simpler.
Ian lowered his gaze. He has several ways to let the Dragon Cult take the initiative to help him solve his troubles and make him owe them favors.
Then let nature take its course and tell him without any doubt how to hide the dragon's blood.
Even, take the initiative to earn him into the group!
Voluntarily requesting to join the Dragon Worship Cult, and being invited to join the Dragon Worship Cult, are two different concepts!
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to wait until morning."
Anfa is also a smart person, but it is precisely because he is too smart that he sees that Ian is not lying, the process of description is very real and reasonable, and he also vaguely senses that Ian does have his unreliable friend. breath, so he immediately judged the possible course of events.
The night is long and there are many dreams, he has to set off immediately to find the other party as soon as possible.
"Forgive me, Guide Knight, and thank you for your help and reminder, I have to set off immediately."
After packing up his books and clothes, Anfa still said goodbye to Ian politely: "I wish you a pleasant night."
"You're welcome, it's to make up for the consequences of my random speculation."
And Ian said goodbye to Anfa with a smile.
After a while, after he finished eating a steak in a local tavern, he walked out of the tavern with a calm expression, casually scanning the outside of Futaba Town.
The purple mist is still there, and even the malicious red light has overflowed.
It seems that after all accidental factors have been ruled out, he plans to attack himself tonight.
"Very well, it seems that it was aimed at me. It is too easy for a second energy level to deal with the first energy level. Whether I leave Double Tree Town or fall asleep to make a surprise attack, he is probably sure Confidence that was stunned and taken away by the 'first energy level' for a moment."
Not surprised, but Ian has a countermeasure: "If this is the case, then I will do as he wishes."
Anyway, they are going to be attacked by surprise, so it's better for him to create an opportunity for the opponent to come and attack him.
Ian wants to see who it is, whether it is the Institute of the Intellect or some mysterious organization, and he is going to attack him!
Just act when you think about it, he pretended to want to watch the moonlight at night, and walked towards the deserted corner of the town.
The boy raised his head and stared at the moonlight, and soon came to the edge of the town.
The guard at the gate wanted to stop Ian - everyone who entered or left the town at night had to report. After all, Shuangshu Town used to be a fortress, and now it is an important material transfer center. Naturally, this aspect is stricter.
But after Ian showed his knight crest, everything became simple.
Amidst the salutation of the guards, he left Shuangshu Town and came to the side of the moat, as if he was taking a walk around the city.
For a young knight who just left his hometown and came to another prosperous town after a long journey, such an action is not unexpected, but reasonable.
Ian slowly came to the field. His silver-white armor melted into the moonlight. He even took off his helmet and breathed in the fresh air around him.
At this moment, a shadow quietly approached the boy.
Shadow doesn't find it all easy.
In fact, long after Ian left Lai'an City, he had been following the boy.
But along the way, probably because Ian was very vigilant in the wild. Although he was confident that he could subdue the opponent in an instant, the two temple enforcers, Redemption Light and Bright Sword, were on duty in Laian's collar. As long as there is a little accident, the other party can call two strong men who are about the same level as him.
There is no need to take such a big risk.
But who knows, a little farther away from Lean's collar, the shadow will be shocked, and another person related to Dragon Worship, like himself, is eyeing Ian.
——what's going on?
Bewildered, the shadow decided to wait patiently, and then looked at the red-haired mountain man of the Dragon Worship Cult and the other party for a simple meal, and then bid farewell to each other.
Although it's not impossible to make a move, but just now a dragon flew over, he didn't want to provoke the Dragon Worship Cult alone as an individual, so he waited until the red-haired mountain man left to observe the situation.
That's where things get complicated.
The next day, Ian walked on the avenue all day long. There were only pedestrians coming and going, and it was daytime. If he wanted to make a move, he would almost certainly be discovered, so he couldn't stay silent.
Waiting until Ian entered the city, he didn't find a chance.
Until now, this difficult and lucky young knight finally ran into the field foolishly alone!
Like a breeze, approaching silently, the black shadow accumulated strength in his body, and he quietly reached out, about to touch Ian's armor.
But a hand was on his wrist.
Then, Ian turned his head and looked at the figure who was stunned for a moment. He looked solemn, but actually he was smiling unrecognizably.
Immediately afterwards, an announcement resounded throughout the town.
"Enemy Attack!"
"Dragon worship! Enemy attack!"
