  Chapter 366 Their respective journeys (w order to celebrate and add more)

   "Emotions are business."

  Ian walked slowly to the front of the team, and he looked at the bustling roadside transactions with interest: "I thought they were going to rob."

   "Haha." Brin laughed, he was basically Ian's dedicated commentator: "How is it possible, people are surrounded with weapons, because they are afraid of being robbed by us."

"Although the mountain people joined the empire and became a member of the citizens, they still remember the war two hundred years ago. Only people they recognized could do business with them, and they all bartered, because they were afraid of being cheated by us. gone."

"When doing business back then, many mountain tribes were deceived and lost their wealth. They could only go down the mountain and attack the towns. The incident became a big deal. Those chambers of commerce were indeed removed, and the leaders hung up the street lamps, but The mountain people who were about to integrate into the imperial system shrank back, and the Marquis of Barton was reprimanded by His Majesty for this, scolding him for not knowing how to manage affairs, but knowing how to raise birds."

Speaking of this, Brin sighed a little: "I was born in Port Harrison. I thought our place was the edge of the world, and there was no one worse than our group of exiles... But after coming out to see the world, Only then did I know that there are people on this land who are suffering more than us.”

  He patted Ian on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Without Elder Purdue, we would really be a mess...Where would there be a caravan like now?"

"yes."

  Ian watched the scene of the transaction. Those powerful mountain hunters worked hard to move their hunted furs, as well as specially crafted fur carpets and murals, in exchange for those daily consumables that were not of high value.

  White Room Chamber of Commerce is not cheating, but it is definitely not honest. Among other things, those herbal medicines are backlog products, which are obviously used to clear the inventory.

   There is an effect, but it must be intentional.

   At this moment, Ian met an old man among the mountain people.

  It was an old man holding a bone staff, whose body was curled up due to old age, but a pair of extremely bright green eyes, his skin was almost the same blue-black color as the steel, and his hair was as silvery as steel.

  He is clearly an Ascendant, and a Man of Iron. He seemed to sense some breath, turned his head with some doubts, and looked in Ian's direction.

   Before Ian had time to take a closer look, he saw the old man slightly opened his eyes, and then saluted him.

  Although confused, Ian returned the gift with the same etiquette.

  The old man smiled.

The transaction with the mountain people ended soon, and the caravan manager came back with a little surprise and reported to Ian: "Master, just now the elder of the mountain people's Avod department asked me to pay tribute to you. I feel a breath of ancestors, if the future destiny guides you to go to the depths of the mountains, they are willing to entertain you, a distinguished guest."

   "So... next time we meet, I want to express my gratitude and my love."

   Nodding slightly, Ian was slightly startled.

  Did the old mountain man just now see his identity as a psychic, or...see the aura of the ancient dragon core on him?

  The latter should not be possible, after all, even Elder Baiwu can’t sense it, but if the relationship between the mountain people and the ancient dragon, Qianganglong, is not a lie, and they still maintain rituals and related skills to worship the ancient dragon...

   "Maybe, from them, we can get some information about the ancient dragon?"

   Shaking his head slightly, Ian didn't think about these things.

  In any case, when he comes back here next time, he will definitely be at the second energy level, equal to the strongest among the mountain people—at that time, whether he is asking about Gu Long or other matters, he will have more confidence.

  The second energy level is the priority now.

  Leaving the Indigo Mountain Gap, Ian and the caravan were ready to part.

   "Be safe, my lord."

The docile camel bears the luggage, slowly leaves the convoy, and walks to the other side, while the tall former herb picker waved goodbye to Ian comically: "I hope you will have a second ability when you come back again." class!"

   After finishing speaking, he laughed, and the other people in the chamber of commerce also laughed kindly.

   "It's not difficult." Ian also smiled and waved goodbye to them: "It might as well be too simple, are you looking down on me?"

   "Next time I wish to choose a more difficult one, I will be motivated."

  The camel beast left from the fork in the road, drifting away from the convoy. Ian followed the road and set off towards Ryan.

   "I didn't expect Ian to have a sense of humor."

Watching the back of the boy leaving from a distance, Brin who was shocked by Ian's words just now said, "I thought he would only smile calmly and say things that were too sensible, but I didn't expect that he would also brag with us. "

"Don't look at the surface too much." The steward also seemed quite emotional, and he patted Brin on the shoulder: "It's been hard for you these days—it's not hard work, our family's geniuses are always better than those unreasonable masters." Good service... go back to work."

  Nodding slightly, the caravan also embarked on their own journey.

  …

   Terra 773, May 14th.

An earthquake occurred in the internal board of directors of the Platinum Iridium Workshop of the Setar Empire. The Southern Prime Minister took the blame and resigned. The three shareholders were investigated. The chief alchemist, Master Bavar, and his team were taken away by the inspector knight for interrogation and returned again. At that time, he was deprived of the title of master, and his private alchemy workshop was also shut down.

   This is a major event that is enough to cause shocks in the alchemy market in the southern part of the empire, but it is only the aftermath of an earthquake within the Ellen family.

   On the 16th, the Marquis of Wilder ended his negotiations with the Yanjiang Mission and returned home immediately. That night, he was found alone at the door of his mansion in embarrassment.

On the 17th, the board of directors re-opened, and a new southern director was nominated. Those who are familiar with the influential figures in the alchemy circle of the imperial capital will find that this new director is a master of the Royal Alchemy Association and a lifelong professor of the Royal Academy of Alchemy. A son of the family and a favorite student.

   On the 19th, the second prince Mikael Setar, who was supposed to be in charge of the fortresses of Mount Iss in the east, met his concubine but beloved sister by his father, who is now Mrs. Ellen, in the imperial palace.

   What this incident represents is still guessed by the nobles of the imperial capital, but this news was quickly overshadowed by the brief firefight between the Heavenly Court and the Republic of Gantrigum on the Frost Moon Plain.

  The east of the Karan Mountains will be in turmoil again, and this is the major concern of all nobles.

  So, under the deliberate ignorance and scrolling of other news, most people did not realize that there was an extra familiar name among the deputy directors of the Platinum Iridium Workshop.

  Isengard Ellen became the deputy director of the southern border of the Platinum Iridium Workshop.

   And on the same day, a small box made of snow crystal immediately set off from the imperial capital to Nanling Province.

   Looking for a monthly ticket~
