  Chapter 151 Abnormal Taste (34)

  Lamar is the financial officer of Port Harrison, the deputy of Viscount Grant, and together with Yam, the city defense officer, is the real confidant and team member of the Viscount.

Similar to Elder Pude, this good-looking Chimin is the leader of the tribe, but he does not have the prestige of Elder Pude, and there is even a line of patriarchs in the clan, but now they are dormant and silent .

   But on the other hand, the red people in Harrison Port are different from the white people.

  They are not sinners migrating, but fleeing from the Flaming Land.

  The internal struggle of the Flying Flame Thirteen Kingdoms is extremely fierce, especially at the junction of the two bloodlines. If one party fails in the struggle, it will be forced to relocate.

This is exactly the case for the one in Port Harrison, but their fleeing ship was blown off course by the storm, and they ran aground on the coast of Port Harrison and were besieged by the natives. At that time, the old Viscount sent troops to rescue them and let them settle in this.

Lamar was able to become the leader of the Crimson People entirely because of the strong support of the Viscount, and he has enough strength to take on this responsibility—this red-haired civil servant's talent regeneration ability far exceeds that of his fellow clansmen. After the wolf hunter's true form, his personal strength is enough to suppress the whole clan.

  Of course, Ian thinks that this is also a means of political manipulation...There are still forces within the Red People who dislike Lamar. If the financial officer wants to better manage the clan, he must rely on the power of the Viscount.

   There may also be emotional elements involved. Both Lamar and his cousin seem to have a close relationship with the Viscount, and there are a lot of gossip in Hong Kong.

   But Ian is not too interested in these.

  He is more interested in the issue of the noble heirs of the Terra continent.

As we all know, blood inheritance requires both parents to have the same inheritance to play a role, and the genes of the Terra people are very complete, even if close relatives marry, it will not increase the chance of distortion, mental retardation, and disability. It is common sense, if you have to find an outsider, you have to spend a lot of money to train the other party to become a sublimator.

  Because of this, it is actually very difficult to achieve aristocratic marriages in the Terra continent, and they cannot be combined at will due to considerations of power and alliances. It is only possible if there are similarities in blood or research.

  Similarly, because there are very strict restrictions on fertility, the private lives of bloodline nobles are mostly very chaotic and random, and some aspects can even be called novelty hunting.

  Viscount Grant is already very innocent in this respect—he simply likes red-haired beauties, that's all, and he doesn't even have any other superfluous hobbies.

  Because of the special bloodline, the political ecology of the nobles of Terra is completely different from that of Ian’s hometown in a similar period. They appear to be more independent and restrained, and the prosperity and decline of the family are also faster.

   Just like the father of Viscount Grant, Harrison Grant died early and did not leave many heirs. Otherwise, Viscount Grant would probably have married and had children at his age. It would never be like this, with only two lovers.

   Ian and Lamar have a great relationship.

   In other words, Ian has a good relationship with almost everyone in Port Harrison.

  Who wouldn't like a sweet-mouthed prophet psyker who is polite, good-looking, funny, and can even directly see changes in favorability and choose the future?

  At least Lamar, who had a good time chatting with Ian, is very optimistic about this future "colleague".

   "But why would he take my brother to buy fish?"

   The strangest thing about Ian now is this. It's not that I'm worried about abduction. The main reason is that Elan is very obedient and won't go with strangers. How did the other party get his younger brother to follow him?

  As soon as he thought about it, he asked, and Ian stepped forward.

   "Ian?"

  Before the boy opened his mouth, Lamar sensed Ian's approach. He turned his head and smiled slightly: "Your brother is looking for you."

Saying so, he let go of Elan's hand, and the little boy who was looking around the market noticed his brother, his eyes lit up, and then he ran over and stood beside Ian obediently side.

   "You haven't come home for a long time... I was wondering, is there something..."

   "That brother, I can find you. I know him, he likes to grow flowers, it's amazing!"

  Gripping the corner of Ian's clothes, Elan whispered, and the young man nodded slightly when he heard the words, knowing clearly.

   This is mainly his own problem.

  Ian remembered that he seemed to have told Elan in the morning that he would take him out to see the flower market tonight, but it was delayed because of a series of things about Sai Nan.

   Lamar probably went to his home to look for him for something, and happened to meet Elan who also wanted to look for his brother, so he just brought him here to look for him.

  As for liking to grow flowers...it's true.

   Lamar's hobbies are indeed flowers and plants, just like Elan's. No wonder these two people had a happy chat before, and it seems that they really hit it off.

"Yes."

On the other side, the red-haired financial officer also smiled gently. He and Ian looked at each other and explained: "Mr. Kutag, the rich businessman from Nauman City came to the port today, and he is discussing cooperation with the viscount. events, and acquired a brand new mysterious sublimation plant.”

   "You understand." He blinked, pretending to be a little helpless and said: "He still appointed you to do the appraisal."

   "Mr. Yinfang? He is really rich."

  Hearing this, Ian suddenly realized that it was because of his old client, a businessman from the capital of Nanling Province, who specializes in building materials and rice oil business, and is known as the "Silver Square" rich man Kutag Lavent.

   This is the acquaintance who wanted to marry his daughter to him at the beginning. Every time he comes to Port Harrison, he must appoint Ian as his identified fund provider.

Three years ago, Mr. Yinfang suffered from a strange disease. He had a long-term loss of appetite. Even if he ate it forcibly, he could not digest it. After diagnosis, it was confirmed that it was a miasma disease common in Nanling, and it had penetrated deep into the internal organs. Seek medical advice.

  He spent a lot of money to buy a copy of the "Qingning Tree Root", which is said to be able to expel Gu insects and purify toxins, a parasitic sublimation plant entwined around the roots of rotten trees in the miasma forest, which can effectively relieve all Nanling miasma diseases.

  At that time, he was a guest at the Viscount Grant's mansion. When talking about this matter, the Viscount just wanted to promote Ian's identification ability, so he invited the young man to try to identify the medicinal effect of the Qingning tree root.

   Identification result: One eye is fake.

   What Mr. Yinfang bought was just a well-disguised foggy forest root entanglement. The difference between the two is only that one has a refreshing aroma and the other has a strong earthy smell.

  In other words, as long as it is soaked in the same kind of perfume for a long time, the root can also have fragrance.

   After a long period of camouflage, even the source quality fluctuations are very similar.

   If you really eat this thing, let alone recover from your illness, this rich man will definitely die.

  Ian saved his life and saved his face, so Yinfang has always looked at him differently.

   After several follow-up appraisals and confirmation of Ian's ability, the wealthy businessman even wanted to marry his daughter to him.

   "It must be that after purchasing a lot of 'unusual plants', I encountered a few things I didn't know. Let me go over and confirm them one by one."

   Knowing that it was the other party, Ian couldn't help but smile helplessly. He knew that the other party sometimes just looked for opportunities to give him money, but he didn't understand why.

  Theoretically speaking, it is enough to take care of his business for three years and promote word of mouth for him for free. Why waste money like this.

  —Anyway, it’s going to be drawn by Viscount Grant and the elders, so it’s better to pay directly in private!

"no."

   As a result, Lamar shook his head, and he said directly: "This time, the adventurer team under Mr. Kutag's command wiped out a small monster lair in the northwest mountain forest, and obtained the mysterious sublimation plant from the lair."

   "It's a brand new sublimation plant that I've never seen before. Even the pharmacy can't figure out the specific effect, so I want to ask you, a professional 'appraiser', to take a look."

  Hearing the news, Ian didn't like to be suspicious.

  He smelled something unusual.

   "Is that so?"

   Responded casually, the white-haired boy pretended to be surprised, but his heart fell into deep thought: "Because of Sai Nan, I felt that he might be targeted because of his identification ability..."

   "As a result, as soon as the evening came, there was an event where I was named for appraisal and showed my appraisal ability?"

   If it is not a coincidence, it can only show that the group of old employers behind Sai Nan may be more powerful than he imagined!

   Or in other words... offered a condition that even Viscount Grant and Mr. Silver Fang could not refuse.

   Of course, it is not surprising to have both.

   "Interesting, sublimated plants that have never been seen before, it is a challenge."

  Thinking in his heart, Ian smiled on the surface: "Good thing, I will definitely agree."

   "When will the appraisal start?" He asked.

   "Tomorrow." Lamar's answer was also very fast: "Tomorrow morning, the identification site is at Harrison Pharmacy, and the instruments are all ready, just go there tomorrow morning."

   Saying so, the red-haired financial officer restrained his gentle smile, and said with some seriousness: "Master Viscount asked me to tell you something."

   "Ian." He lowered his voice, imitating Viscount Grant's tone, and said slowly: "Don't worry about other messy things."

   "This time, show your true strength!"
