Chapter 166: Surging Undercurrent (3/3)
Chapter 166 The surging undercurrent (33)
"Anthracene?"
Pat's tone was full of doubts: "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, the Ellen Territory, the safer Ethan is—in this remote Port of Harrison, who can suddenly activate the 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 decrease, right?"
"It's better to say that we must complete the task. Only with Yi Sen, whom His Majesty appreciates, can we guarantee our own safety."
"That's the problem." The man said thoughtfully: "The task is difficult."
"indeed."
Putting 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.
Spread 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.
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 crystal shells of various elements, as well as the situation of other sublimated creatures in the surrounding area.
"However, the appraiser of the Royal Alchemy Association detected the aura of a high-ranking dragon species from the empty shells of those element crystal shells."
The old man’s expression was solemn, even Patrick was very cautious.
Crystal Dragon, a rare and peculiar species of dragon, usually only appears around the seabed ore veins. It is a close relative of the pyroxene ankylosaurus, and it often appears around the Starfall Inner Sea and Whale Song Cliff.
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 powerful spiritual field of the crystal dragon. Mutant individuals caused by domain infection.
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. 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, then 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 considered a strategic exchange. However, if the Central Empire purchases the same kind of Warcraft materials for a long time, it is enough to prove that there is a huge problem in their internal potion circulation system. , High-end strategic materials are limited by people.
How could it be easy to capture the Crystal Dragon?
Not to mention that the common places of production are all 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, the spies of other countries can't be aware of this, so they can only send us to act."
Master Gesai shook his head slightly: "This is His Majesty's trust, we must not let it down—young crystalline dragons feed on elemental crystal shells. To find crystalline 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, and there is no 'desire' lodged in it. After all, it is not as good as that young man."
"It's a free advantage for 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 this the purpose of the Black King sending 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.
And the old man reminded: "Remember to inform the Marquis and Madam, and let them start the review of the 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... are not strong enough. Not small!"
"I know." Patrick agreed.
He left Master Gosser's room, walked out of Boyin's workshop, came to the street, and then leaped and left Harrison Port quietly.
The riverside along the port is untouched at night, and there are no wild animals. The surrounding is a quiet darkness, 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 this city. Fifteen years ago, it was only in its infancy. The towering city walls were full of traces of battles. At night, the entire city was only lit by patrols and the flames of 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, a star between mountains and mountains. A shining pearl in the sea.
"I'm really... envious."
Sighing lightly, 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 panel from his pocket, and then took out a special pen, and began to write rapidly on it.
East side of Nanling.
The junction of the Yongji Ocean and the South Coast.
"Oh... The boss summoned me... Let me see what instructions the adults have..."
Beside the dense sea of algae, in the dark sea area shrouded in clouds, a fleet composed 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 is in harmony with the faintly lit fluorescence in the sea of algae.
"The summons came in the middle of the night, our boss is better than our elves' master at ordering people."
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? Are you going to make a surprise attack so soon? But I haven't gathered 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-blooded elf.
The elven pirates off the coast of Canaan Moor have basically become a regional feature. This group of loose elves who refuse to obey the rule of the elven royal court is not so much a bandit as a group of freelancers—they undertake all types of tasks, including armed transportation. 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 furiously on the crystal plate at the moment, but the speed of the other side’s reply was so slow, the communication between the two sides fell into a fierce silence for a while, and only the rustling of the crystal pen across the crystal plate could be heard.
"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?"
"Now there is a loss - 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 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 The first energy level... is okay, at least this time 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 it was, and he said it was better-looking than us elves. "
"Haha." The first mate laughed: "That's really obvious, but compared with those masters, we are a bit rough."
"Not aristocrats, but commoners—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 just raid the survey ship, that Viscount Grant might come over armed with ether .”
The elf pirate's dark green hair dangled, and he raised his finger: "Fortunately, the sea protects us."
Saying so, 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...wait for the survey ship to explore for a few days before making a move...or to say, 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 running a high fever.
