   Chapter 237 Nature (24)

   "Is this the point?"

Seeing that his student's thinking became extremely simple once he got to this point, and even showed a firm expression full of confidence, the old man even laughed helplessly: "Why would I worry about his safety? You didn't notice, that kid seems to be Did you already know about the existence of this South China Sea relic?"

"He asked me to go straight to the ground, although it was for the sake of safety, to prevent everyone from falling to death after I lost my strength... But the excitement, the enthusiasm, the joy of almost being a different person, didn't you see the slightest bit? ?”

   "Ah this..."

  Isengard's face was blank, but when the teacher said this, he also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

   Indeed... Before Ian, it was indeed not like this.

  In the eyes of the blond boy, the Bai Zhimin peer he met in Port Harrison was far calmer, more mature, sharper than himself, and could even be said to be an existence that completely crushed him.

  He is extremely intelligent, extremely sensitive, and has extremely high talents in alchemy and sublimation skills... Besides, he is also very comfortable in the world.

Ian has his own opinions on all topics, and he can also start discussions following other people's words, which will not make people feel bored or bored. Whether it is chatting or discussing things, it feels very smooth—he probably It's the kind of social master who will never stand in the cold and never make people feel uncomfortable.

  However, in the eyes of Isengarde, Ian is also a person who is so calm and indifferent that he is almost ruthless.

  Although the EQ is not high, the juvenile's observation ability is actually quite keen, otherwise he would not be an alchemist.

He could tell that Ian didn't care much about most things—he didn't care much about fame and wealth, and he didn't care much about wealth. What the Ellen family promised was enough to make ordinary sublimators go crazy He just nodded lightly and was surprised politely.

   He doesn't really care about these things at all.

Ian could wipe off the blood on the sword smoothly and gracefully after killing more than a dozen aboriginals, and then discuss with himself the next task... He was even more capable of even a tenth of a second after the exploration ship was attacked. Without any hesitation, he directly took himself into the sea.

   Such a person, could be so fanatical, so excited and joyful?

   Of course it is possible.

  Because Ian needed something from the ruins. Because Ian needs something from pre-epoch civilization. Or rather...

  Ian is a person who can feel great joy and achievement just by knowing the unknown, just by exploring and developing...

  One, because of the desire to know the unknown and explore the distance, so awakened psychic, psychic.

   Psykers are like that.

Seeing Isengarde's expression gradually becoming dazed, Master Goser nodded slightly: "This should be a struggle between Ayers and the natives, but it was intensified because of Patrick... If I guessed right, this place is the home of the local Sequoia natives. 'Holy place'."

   "And Ian's knowledge of this place must be better than many people. A little guy like him who is eager for knowledge must be very aware that this place has what he craves, so he is so excited."

   "His understanding of this place must be deeper than ours."

   "In other words, if we want to leave this place, Ian's help is indispensable."

   After saying such a long word in one breath, Master Goser took a breath wearily, and Isengard hurriedly brought clean water, but the old man waved his hand slightly: "You drink it, you have to maintain your strength, I don't have much fighting power anymore."

  He felt a little uneasy at the moment.

  As Ian... he should not know these things, nor would he yearn for the holy land of the aborigines.

  —I don’t know if Ayers told him, or through other channels... Forget it, now is not the time to think about it.

   "Yes, teacher...do you need Ian's help again?"

  Isengard was a little embarrassed at first—they had been helped by Ian so many times when they went to sea, so much that he couldn't think of how to repay the other party's kindness.

   Fortunately, the Ellen family still has family property. As long as he can survive, all rewards are easy to negotiate.

   "Teacher, your condition has stabilized. I'll go check on other people's condition."

   While Master Gesai closed his eyes and rested his mind, Yisen got up and planned to continue to check the parasites on other patients and analyze the case to optimize the medicine.

  The blond boy with the potion in his hand froze for a moment, then frowned.

"strangeness…"

   He muttered to himself, looking towards the corridor of the cave on one side: "Why is there the sound of armor colliding?"

The wind source quality brought a distant whisper, and Yisen heard a slight, but quite clear vibration to him: "There are more than eight people, with the smell of gunpowder and alchemy potion...Is it an alchemy firearm?! And, this alchemist Gunpowder configuration..."

  The young man showed a shocked expression, and looked in the direction of the voice in a daze: "Flying flames?"

  Hearing Isen's astonished voice, Master Geser, who was planning to take a rest for a while, frowned immediately. Thinking of the incident that Ian was attacked with a firearm from another country described by Isengard before, he couldn't help but have a guess in his heart.

   "Could it be that they helped the aborigines for the sake of the aborigines' holy land? They might have just wanted to ask for the key in Ayers' hands, but the ruins were accidentally opened..."

   "By chance, they actually took advantage!"

Isengard is quite smart in terms of not involving interpersonal communication. He turned his mind, first glanced at the ordinary people who had mostly passed out under sedatives, then gritted his teeth, and prepared to carry the old man: "Let's go, Teacher, let's leave quickly! The cave here is deep, as long as we hide quickly, I will use the wind to block the breath, and it will not be easy for them to find us!"

   "Although there are parasites in this place, the parasites can also be used as food after treatment. We can hide for a long time!"

"you go."

But the old man took the boy's outstretched hand, looked at his student solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Even if the agents of Feiyan land catch me, they won't kill me immediately, and they still have to take care of me. Maybe it's more professional than your hands and feet."

   "And if you take me, both of you will definitely be caught. Don't talk too much, go!"

  Master Goser noticed that before his students were about to leave, they were still hesitant about those South China Sea fishermen they just met by chance... If it wasn't for him, he might have stayed.

  This silly boy...this temperament is not at all like his parents and his grandfather...

  But if it wasn't for this temperament, I wouldn't regard Yisen as my last personal student.

"…teacher!"

   Ethan stood there for a while, then gritted his teeth and turned around.

  He is very clear that the agents of the two countries usually capture important people, and they must try to interrogate key information or ask for ransom... But is it really normal at this moment? Died in the ruins where no one knew the situation, no one would know the real situation.

   But he also knew very well that he must not disappoint the teacher's wishes.

  Essengard acted quickly, and left a potion beside everyone before leaving, which can continue to calm down the parasites.

  Although it may be meaningless, his heart tells him to do it.

  But just as the boy was about to leave through the hole on the other side, he stopped.

  Because, there is also sound in the direction of the hole.

Da da da.

  The sound of footsteps reverberated inside the cave, not in a hurry, but just moving forward in a fair manner.

   These are the steps in the military formation, the sound of the actions of the most professionally trained soldiers.

  He is surrounded.
