Chapter 147: Sai Nan: Cong Xin (3/4)
Chapter 147 Sai Nan: From the Heart (34)
After so many years of continuous experimentation and summarization, Ian has been able to roughly grasp the signs represented by the various colors in his psychic power.
The dark air represents pure bad luck or natural disasters. For example, a tornado brings a piece of wood and falls into the air and smashes people half to death—the disasters brought about by such things are reflected in the "foreseeing horizon". It is black air.
The thicker the black air, the more serious and inevitable it is. Pure black mist with no other colors visible is a deathly stillness, just like a group of people going to sea suddenly encountered a big storm, there is no room for it.
Only life's all-out resistance and a trace of miracles can crush such inevitability.
The scarlet gas is related to other life.
Whether it’s humans or beasts, sea monsters wandering in the deep sea, or all kinds of monsters and aliens that can’t be wiped out in the Baisen Mountains, aboriginal robbers, all belong to this category.
Being murdered by people, being robbed by pirates, being attacked by wild animals, being dragged down by a big fish while fishing, or even the whole ship capsized and sunk, all of them are in this category.
"It's very abnormal. The ruins in the far sea have not been abnormal recently. I have confirmed it last time. There is still a long time before the natural disaster of the big storm."
Although he had a hunch for a long time, Ian's mood became heavy after he was sure that the entire Port of Harrison would be in crisis.
He went back to the shop and washed his hands, drank the warm water soaked in blood-blood grass, sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind, which was very healthy.
After learning the professional method of using psychic powers and growing himself, Ian can also try to observe the future trends of multiple people at the same time.
Even in a small urban area, backlash and physical exertion would not cause him to completely lose his physical strength. At most, the spiritual energy load was too large, causing capillaries to rupture and mucous membranes to bleed.
It looks scary, but it’s actually similar to kicking a cabinet with your toes. It hurts, but it’s nothing.
"Go to Elder Pude first, and then go home."
Opening his eyes, Ian stood up: "By the way, let the elder secretly mention the mutation to Viscount Grant... at least be prepared."
Although the black mist is not too thick, it proves that even if there is a disaster, it will not be too serious, but if the preparations are not well prepared, it is not impossible for dozens or even hundreds of people to die.
When the black air of a city falls on a person's head, it is really either death or injury.
He had made up his mind and set off immediately.
And just as Ian closed and locked the shop, and greeted the acquaintances of the City Guard who were patrolling nearby.
Sai Nan hurriedly walked through the street with a sad look on his face.
Occasionally he braced himself up and responded to the greetings of acquaintances, but most of the time, he walked with his head buried and went straight to his destination.
In the administrative system of the empire with one capital and three directly governed twelve provinces, the southernmost Nanling Province has a vast territory, but it is sparsely populated and has few cities. It has always been used as a classic place of exile.
Because of the low population density, there are many complex terrains such as high mountains and cliffs and valleys, and there are many indigenous colonies in the mountain autonomous region, the policy of the imperial capital and Nanling Province is to 'control trade'.
As long as you master the land trade route from [Harrison Port], [Three Mountain City], [Nauman City and the surrounding canyon gathering place], the internal and external resources will interact smoothly, and then you can guarantee Whale Song Cliff and Canaan Moore to Harrison Port The waterway trade is smooth.
Then, no matter how low the empire’s control over the other colonies and autonomous region villages and towns in Nanling Province is, it can guarantee that the situation in the entire south will not be too corrupt.
Since Viscount Grant built the new city four years ago, a large number of chambers of commerce have begun to settle in this port, so that in a corner of the new city, a long street is formed entirely of caravan shops.
Xincheng District, near Haichang Street.
A street full of shops.
The neat and clean buildings are hung with cloth banners with the emblems and coats of arms of various shops. The straight streets go all the way along the Ewok River to the end of the field of vision. The shop signs are very eye-catching, and some large shops even use fluorescent structures. , Even in daylight, it shines like gold.
It is the gloomy time before the rain, and the light of the fluorescent signboard is simply bright.
The streets are crowded with people, rare ores from the Bison Mountains, precious herbs collected from the surrounding redwood forests-alchemy creations from the imperial capital and even Canaan Moore, sea-born long swords from Whale Song Cliff, and even from Blessing ornaments from distant Yanjiang.
On the coastal long street, everything is available. Adventurers and professional mercenaries deliver their mission goals here, while rich and poor customers look at the merchandise in the window and estimate whether there is enough Thaler in their pockets.
Sai Nan walked through the crowds. He used to like this kind of bustling feeling, which gave him a sense of accomplishment that he grew up with his hometown.
But now, he just frowned, and walked into a shop that was not high-profile, but extremely neat.
【Platinum Iridium Workshop】
"Captain Sai Nan? Are you here so early today?"
The dark-skinned Bai Zhimin is obviously a frequent visitor, even the guards at the door directly bowed to let them go, and the receptionist who received the guests came directly to the door to greet them, and greeted them attentively: "Recently, you have worked so hard to take us to so many places, my lord! I'm waiting for you in the reception room..."
"Um."
Sai Nan obviously had a mood written on his face. He noticed that the other party looked unattractive, and the front desk didn't say much, but directly led him to the reception room on the second floor.
"Captain Sai Nan?"
The adult at the front desk was laughing and chatting with a blond boy sitting opposite him.
When he heard the news of his employees, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and then he looked up at Sai Nan who was already standing at the door: "This is... what's going on?"
"Has the appraisal been completed?"
He was a little confused.
Although he just arrived in Port Harrison today, the cooperation between Platinum Iridium Workshop and Sai Nan has lasted for several months. Come to this frontier land.
That is, today, the Platinum Iridium Workshop has captured a very important discovery on Sai Nan's ship, but due to the lack of professional appraisers, they cannot analyze it in detail.
Regardless of the fact that the Platinum Iridium Workshop is one of the top three workshops in the empire, and it is backed by the Marquis Ellen family of the empire, but I hope they can provide professional equipment and a formal appraisal for remote areas like Port Harrison. Teacher, that's too much thinking.
Even if someone is there, and the appraiser is willing to come, the workshop itself is not willing.
—Is it really that fast? Or the people below have already come up with results, but they just know that I'm coming, so they send a good news to flatter them now?
It's no wonder that this 'adult' is so skeptical. With his status, this kind of fact is very common, so even though he wasn't very surprised, he still showed reasonable joy to the outside world: "Did you find anything? Captain Sai Nan?"
"grown ups."
But unexpectedly, the captain of Bai Zhimin shook his head with a serious face, and then said in a deep voice: "Sorry, I think, I have to terminate the cooperation."
He put a sack of fluorescent algae in his hand on the ground, and saluted awkwardly: "I can only refund this deposit."
"Sorry, starting today, I won't be going to sea for at least a month."
The blond middle-aged man who was pushed back immediately froze, while the blond boy sitting by the side couldn't help laughing, but soon his face was tight.
