Chapter 189: Ian's Crew (2/4)

  Chapter 189 Ian's Team (24)

  After seeing off Isengard, Ian sat in the box for a while.

  He closed his eyes, thinking about the problem.

   "Native...yes, native."

Ian muttered to himself: "Yeah, I almost forgot—the aborigines must have noticed the existence of the Zhanhai crystal dragon earlier than us, and their totem master is probably still recovering from the injury that was injured by the teacher back then, so face to face For a dragon species at the peak of the first energy level, it needs to retreat step by step, and even almost lost its lair."

   "It's impossible for the natives to be unaware of this matter. They won't just 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. The meaning behind it may have something to do with the mission of the Ellen family. More than anything!"

   After all, the Ellen family and their mission to capture the Zhanhai Crystal Dragon is just an extra joy, the icing on the cake.

  The changes of the aborigines and the potential hidden dangers in Flame Land can really threaten the daily safety of Port Harrison and Ian!

  —No one knows, has Feiyandi, which has been silent for four or five years, dispatched a special operation force behind enemy lines to plan some secret plan?

  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 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 boy got up and left the Long Gull Restaurant.

  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, the garrison near the city wall.

The garrison is essentially a small castle located in the city and rooted at the key points on the banks of the Ewok River. It was a frontier fort built when Harrison Port fought with the aborigines. Fourteen hours of firefights.

  With the passage of time, the offensive power of the natives gradually weakened, and the garrison gradually changed from a castle fortress to a central point for stationing and rotating soldiers.

  Now, the aborigines who have completely lost their right to take the initiative to attack can’t even get out of the big redwood forest in the north outside the Elephant Bone Mountain, and the garrison has completely become a police station, similar to the patrol station in the city.

  Ian wore a hood and walked on the road to the west of the city.

  The streets in the west of the city were mostly destroyed in the war that year, but they have been rebuilt long ago. Compared with other bustling urban areas, the XC area, which had to face the pressure of indigenous people back then, was somewhat deserted. The complex streets were laid out like a net, obviously preparing for possible street fighting.

  The garrison is located at the point where all the streets converge. This blue-gray hexagonal castle has towering spires and six built-in alchemy cannons. The defense is even much stronger than 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 arrived at the garrison, and the guards who wanted to stop him immediately let him go. There was even a guard who walked out to guide him and asked the famous alchemist in the port if he wanted to find him. Who.

  If you are looking for the White People captain, Rayleigh, 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. The **** 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 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 though Ian is still young, as an alchemist Master, researching life-prolonging potions is also an excellent way to improve your level.

   It is 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 Swamp Crocodile invaded Port Harrison and fought with Viscount Grant, several heroes stepped forward and fired alchemy cannons at the most critical moment, accurately injuring Crocodile's old wounds, It caused the opponent to flee, thus laying the foundation for the peaceful development of Port Harrison today.

Regrettably, several heroes died in the follow-up indigenous desperate attack. Only the two youngest, Scott, the artillery loader, and Ian, the eight-year-old genius who restored the dilapidated artillery, recovered from that battle. Survive the raid.

The few 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 in alchemy and inscriptions. 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 was young, Scott always stood up when he was in danger, and he was very responsible in the world. He encountered raids by indigenous hunters a few times, and his team members were poisoned. The antidote saved a life.

Scott is very popular among the younger generation of guards. If you have to say that his only shortcoming is that he doesn't 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. Like a rigid middle-aged man in his 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 crossbows 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 metallic silver stripe on his face. Like the gem-shaped eyes, this is the symbol of the Iron People.

  He just took off his armor and returned from patrolling the field close to the sphere of influence of the natives. It seemed that he was afraid that the miasma left on his body would affect Ian. 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 knew the truth of what happened back then—he was just a survivor protected by his teammates, and Ian was the real hero who saved Port Harrison. In order not to attract too much attention, he distributed 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.

  Even… arguably loyal.

  Maybe 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 better than themselves and is kind to them.

  until life, or the end of grace.

   "I do 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 **** for no reason, Ian has always regarded Scott as a friend: "Recently I'll be out at sea for a while, and I won't be back for quite a while."

"Elan is under the care of Elder Pude, so I don't have to worry, 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 into 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, it's not difficult, you are in the field You can do it anywhere along the coast.”

   "Not casually."

  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."
