In mid-April of Terra 774, Ian was preparing to leave Harrison Port and return to Xiahui Territory.

But he had one or two final things to wrap up before leaving Port Harrison.

During the recent period, Ian asked Qingchao to hire a group of people at the gathering places for adventurers and mercenaries in surrounding towns to prepare for the future opening of the South China Sea Labyrinth.

This preparation is simply a matter of care.

After all, it is a large and unfamiliar maze. No matter how bold the average adventurer is, it will take a long time to take the first step... This progress is really too slow, so Ian will hire these adventurers and mercenaries to serve as support. They showed several classic exploration paths and marked dangerous spots such as surrounding monster lairs.

After all, adventurers still trust the experience and lessons circulated among the adventurers more than official news.

Qingchao himself was a mercenary before, so he naturally had connections, which was very reassuring to Ian.

In addition, these trustees also have many things to ask.

For example, there is information about the ‘Lord of the Labyrinth: Lightning Steel Armor Shark’.

In recent days, every time Shark Shark meets Ian, he always has an expression on his face that says, "I haven't hit a boat in a day, and I feel like there are goblins crawling on my body." How could Ian have the heart to let Shark Shark suffer such pain?

So after thinking about it, Ian made a decision that was not very ethical.

He asked Qingchao to spread the news among adventurers and mercenaries that the Great Maze of the South China Sea is guarded by a powerful steel-armored shark of the labyrinth type. It will crash through all ships that make it feel threatened. This is also the way to explore the maze. The biggest difficulty.

but! As an official mercenary once employed by Platinum Workshop and one of the first explorers of the Great Labyrinth, he has a magic potion plating in his hand that can protect ships from being attacked by steel-armored sharks!

Of course, even with Qingchao's credibility, not many people would believe this news... But as long as there are interested people, they will find that only adventurers who purchase plating agent will not be attacked by steel-armored sharks. As for others who didn't buy the plating agent, although there will be some lucky ones who won't be attacked, most of them will become Shark Shark's first defeat!

In this way, sharks can crash boats, Ian can sell potions, and adventurers can safely cross the sea or learn to swim. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

——Win more!

Of course, Shark Shark must bear it before Ian starts selling placebo plating that basically has no effect but has a slight taste and fluctuation in quality!

After doing this, Ian said goodbye to all his acquaintances and relatives in Harrison Port and prepared to return to his own territory.

This time he was in Harrison Port, which was a complete homecoming. Ian brought back several production lines and provided a lot of jobs and investment. When people met Ian on the street, they would show their joy and respect. In terms of popularity, he is even more eye-catching than the Viscount.

Bai Zhimin also gathered a group of young children and teenagers to serve as testers for the future 'Silver Peak Messenger'.

This group of people were all selected by Qingchao, and they were all excellent seeds who in his opinion had both talent and patience.

Ian believed in Qingchao's vision, but also doubted his vision.

"Don't select a group of people who only know how to use swords."

Ian warned Qingchao, and he said earnestly: "The future world cannot only have cold weapons. In addition to swords, you must also learn some other weapons."

"I can use a gun too!"

Qingchao felt that he was definitely underestimated by Ian, and he said angrily: "It's just that for sublimators, if it's not an alchemy gun, its power is too weak - I'm very good at using guns, and it's essentially nothing more than using A very long sword performs a high-speed thrust, and the technique is very simple!”

Ian was silent for a while, and he had to nod, admitting that Qingchao was very good at using guns.

After finishing all the 'work', it was already late at night today.

Ian separated from everyone and returned to White Room Groceries in the new city alone.

This is where he originally worked as an appraiser and his first laboratory.

In the workshop on the second floor, there are many alchemy materials and inscription notes that Ian himself summarized.

Thump thump thump, the young man climbed up to the second floor.

He stood at the top of the stairs, looking at his workshop and the storage cabinets located on the four walls of the room. Various alchemical substrates and disassembled mechanical artifacts were carefully placed in separate compartments, with other items placed next to them. The experience and thoughts when dismantling it.

Looking around the room where he had patiently studied and analyzed during his hibernation, Ian couldn't help but sigh.

During that time, it was really peaceful and peaceful. If this world did not hide so many secrets, the young man thought that he would probably study here peacefully. He would not start until he was in his twenties and had mastered all the knowledge he could reach. Explore outside.

Just like it was on Earth.

But in Terra, just one year feels like a lifetime ago.

Ian walked slowly to the workbench. He stretched out his hand and picked up the translucent crystal box on the top.

Placed inside is a handmade telescope.

The teacher gave him a gift nine years ago to become an Ascended One.

"There is still no change in the sky, and the stars have not decreased in recent times, but I always feel that my heart cannot be calm... Something, a very important thing, is happening in an extremely far distance. I can foresee it, but I can't. We don’t know why and we don’t know what impact it will have on us.”

Ian took out the telescope from the crystal box. This small telescope was designed for use by young children. It seemed a bit small for the slender hands that had grown up and were approaching the age of youth.

But Ian still came to the bedside and looked at the night sky with this little telescope.

"I am a prophet. I know more and more things. There are too many secrets in Terra...the creator of the sky-falling spaceship, the true dragon, the enemy who made the creator's spaceship fall, the fire on the earth of Terra, the former Many studies on era civilization, aliens, and what happened in the lost era... these things are hidden behind the scenes, covered by various curtains."

Staring at the night sky, Ian murmured to himself: "In addition, the relationships between countries are also complicated. The alliance between the Empire and Canaan Moore seems to be to dispel each other's vigilance and to fully deal with the increasingly manic Feiling Land and Canaan Moore. Cangtian Royal Court, but according to what Anfa revealed to me openly and secretly, there is a force in Canaan Moore that has always been deeply connected with Cangtian Royal Court."

"The Cangtian Royal Court and Canaan Moore have been openly engaged in a war for more than two hundred years. In fact, since the post-war decades, the two sides have only been silently confronting each other. The two countries have definitely discovered something, so they are confronting each other on the surface. In fact, We stopped... and now, the cooperation has ended, so the two countries have ended the state of war."

"Teacher, I found news from the mainland nine years ago... In the year I awakened my memory, the last stargazer organization in Terra, the stargazer tower in the capital of knowledge, destroyed itself, and all the stargazers chose to commit suicide. What exactly did they find? If it was just that there were no stars, and it was just a prison for stars, it would not be like this - they must have found something more desperate, but no one said it, but they used their own deaths to conquer the world. Its cover.”

"I want to know. I'm never afraid of despair. I just hate the unknown. I just want to know."

"The plan behind the emperor is gradually revealed. Teacher... the master you are loyal to, Inaga II, may still have a remnant soul left in the world. Maybe he still has sanity, or maybe not? I don't know. Wait until Elan's soul Once he has a second level, I will try to ask him to 'profile' information about Inaga. I think there will definitely be gains, but it will also be absolutely dangerous."

Ian was silent for a while. He didn't actually want to risk Elan.

If he had the power of profiling, he would definitely profile all the powerful people in the world after reaching the second level, trying to find out some secrets that might be hidden behind them... Afraid of death? What Ian is afraid of is dying without knowing anything. He doesn't care about the danger at all.

But my brother is different from me...

Until the end, Ian let out a sigh, and then looked determined.

With his current third-level strength, he can already insert himself into many major events in Terra... He will dig out all the secrets behind this planet bit by bit, and find out how to escape from the prison of the star. Methods.

But in this way, this road will become more and more dangerous - if before, Ian was found to be the most likely to die himself, then now, the secret behind him is discovered, then the entire Xiamen may be destroyed. Hui Ling and all the white people of the Yinfeng family.

Even if they are not discovered, when the "New Era Creatures" that have begun to take shape in Xiahui Territory gradually spread to the outside world, Terra will also usher in drastic changes and wars, because new technologies are destined to bring about ethical and moral changes. Changes have caused drastic changes in social order.

and numerous deaths.

One general's success will lead to thousands of bones drying up... Anyone who wants to do great things must understand this truth and have this awareness.

Ian is standing here. He is a prophet and has foreseen the tragic death and sacrifice in the future.

But he never hesitated or apologized.

"Artificial souls, imaginary network, temporary underworld, and meditation methods... The extraordinary job of the sublimator is about to usher in a complete innovation."

Just when Ian made up his mind, he was about to put down the telescope in his hand and leave the small house that brought him a sense of peace.

In the young man's silver-green eyes, he suddenly noticed an undetectable shadow flashing in the distant sky.

Hilliard's handmade telescope can't really look at the stars, nor can it penetrate the atmosphere and see the universe... but Ian's psychic power and silver chip can.

So, he saw it, a tiny dot.

A small dot called 'Orbital Dragon Island'.

"What?"

Ian was slightly startled. He calculated in his mind and then realized that during the recent period, Dragon Island will be located in the orbit around Terra's equator. Now is the time when Dragon Island can be seen: "What a coincidence... but , is there something unusual about the fluctuations in the virtual realm?"

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something related. When he saw Dragon Island, Ian keenly noticed that in the entire Harrison Port, it can even be said... in all areas of Terra where Dragon Island can be seen, there was a small-scale The peak energy level of the psychic field changes.

Not only that, when Ian sneaked his spirit into the virtual realm and wanted to actually observe the situation in the virtual realm, he was shocked to find that the brand-new virtual realm machine god [Ulakan the Destroyer] he had seen some time ago was actually The bright silver light flashed directly and flew towards the top of the virtual realm where Dragon Island was located.

More than that……

In the surrounding virtual realm, all the virtual realm machine gods are floating in the sky, flying towards the bright stars floating in the sky on the virtual realm dragon island!

One after another, the streams of spiritual light rising up against the sky drew many intersecting or parallel arcs in the sky, converging to the center like blooming fibrous flowers. These thousands of meteors flying backwards flickered one after another, Bring forth a bright light, illuminating the surroundings of the virtual realm.

"What happened to Dragon Island?!"

Ian opened his eyes wide. At this moment, whether in reality or in the virtual world, he was staring at the artificial star above the sky, but no one gave him the answer: "What is the difference between Dragon Island and the virtual machine god?" relation?"

"No - it does matter!"

At this moment, Ian suddenly recalled that the real cause of Xio's deformed injury...it was the poison of the Void Demon, the poisonous injury left by the battle between the King of the Mountain and the Void Demon!

The Void Realm Machine Gods are originally Void Realm programs left behind by the civilization of the previous era. One of their original missions is to 'annihilate the Void Realm demons and maintain the stability and security of the human Void Realm network'!

Yes, both the real dragon and the virtual machine god have a common enemy, the virtual demon... But how strong is the virtual demon, which causes thousands of virtual machine gods to gather into an army and go to the dragon? The situation on the island?

late! Chapter 2 will be released before 12 o'clock!

I have a little rhinitis, it’s not a cold or COVID-19, it’s just too dry and cold that makes me uncomfortable. It’s okay, and I can update!
