  Chapter 262 I’m just an ordinary appraiser (33)

  Qing Chao’s real name is ‘Ai Ray Onassis’, which means the Onassis clan, his father’s name is Lei, and his own name is Ai.

   This is a tall swordsman with blue short hair, narrow and long eyes, and very sharp eyes.

   It’s a bit of a coincidence that his sea-born tendencies are also ‘sharks’—Qing Chao swims faster in the sea than the average sea-born, his skin is rough and hard, and his teeth can be replaced and regenerated continuously.

  He is usually forthright, but he likes to hide in a corner and be alone when he is not talking to others. He is obviously a big and three rough, but he usually gives people the feeling of a melancholy literary youth.

  Sea descendants can be regarded as a kind of demi-human spirit companions. Qing Chao has a mouth full of sharp teeth that look like sharks. It is said that his father's animalization is even more serious, and there are even bony shark fins on his arms.

  At this time, Qing Chao had already injected the regenerative potion, and the injury was mostly healed.

  He came to thank you this time, or in other words, came to 'seek refuge'.

   "You saved my life, Mr. Guide."

  The sea-born swordsman knelt on one knee to Ian, and the subordinates of Whale Song Cliff said frankly in a deep voice to Ian, "I won't lie—I'm extremely optimistic about your future."

   "You are strong enough and young enough, but now you don't have an identity worthy of your potential—I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you and become your swordsman and your strength."

   It can be regarded as a wise man who does not speak dark words.

  Qing Chao owes his favor to Ian, and also believes that Ian has great potential and potential, and the future is limitless, so he simply joins him directly.

   "It's true that I saved your life, but it was only to protect the front line. The potion belongs to the Ellen family, so I'll just change hands."

  Ian didn't let Qingchao get up, nor did he refuse or acknowledge the other party's 'loyalty'.

  He is also very clear that the reason why the other party does not join the Ellen family is because the Ellen family is too strong, and he may not be able to pass the political review if he wants to join.

   On the contrary, it was his own side. The real private team under him had to say that Scott was the only one who really needed some good hands to move easily.

   Moreover, he also knew about Qing Chao's past.

  Back then, after the Battle of the Three Seas where Whale Song Cliff and Sea Demon Worm crossed the Surging Ocean, Wandering Sea, and Storm Ocean, a large number of injured veterans retired, and they couldn't even get enough retirement pay.

  But from this group of veterans, a new group of martial arts nobles also emerged.

  Although most of the new nobles are 'vassals' selected by the various sea ethnic groups and mermaid tribes of Jinggeya, there are countless people robbing this right to be a vassal.

  Qing Chao's father is one of the qualified contenders.

   It's just that this veteran is qualified but has no background, and he has been secretly suppressed a lot to prevent him from really competing for the seat.

  In addition, there are too many retired soldiers, and he still has hidden injuries, so it is difficult to find a job, so in the end, due to the attack of hidden injuries, the blood circulation in the body is disordered, and he died of heart failure.

  First-level sublimators, although they have a higher status than ordinary people, they cannot reach the threshold of nobility, and it is not difficult to cultivate them.

Although it is said that more than 4,000 Thalers are needed to cultivate a first-level sublimator, this is a combination of 'potion ingredients', 'potion formula', 'hired alchemist', 'teacher's salary', and adaptability Training' and 'additional nutritional supplements' and many other costs.

  For the military, there is almost no cost for potion formulas, refining, teachers, and subsequent adaptive training. Only potion materials and additional nutritional supplements cost money.

  But for a large organization, the flesh and materials of low-level monsters are mass-produced products that can rely on mazes for large-scale breeding.

   Only a family that starts from scratch and has never had an inheritor before needs to spend several thousand Thalers to cultivate the first sublimator in their family.

   After that, it will be much easier to cultivate the second place.

  This is also the importance of the so-called 'inheritance'. The simplest effect is to reduce the cost of training and restore glory faster.

  For example, if the Bai Zhimin of Port Harrison were not exiled, the secrets of the silver peak envoy inheritance, alchemy and inscriptions mastered by Elder Pu De alone would be able to help the family recover as quickly as possible.

   And large organizations can mass-produce a considerable number of first-level sublimators at any time.

  But the follow-up maintenance is actually a problem.

  Every sublimator is a high-precision source material machine, and the source material food it consumes is a large sum of money every month.

  The scariest thing is not even the funds, but the lack of resources—the production of Warcraft flesh and blood is limited, and resource planning has always been a big problem.

For the sake of war, a large number of first-level sublimators are cultivated to consume combat power, but after the war, there is no need for so many individuals with individual force...Compared with spending the overall resources of the entire force to support a group of veterans, It is better to disarm, train a group of young ordinary soldiers, and upgrade them to consume when needed.

  This is why there are so many ascendant mercenaries and adventurers in the world of Terra—most of their predecessors are veterans or lost nobles.

Just like Qing Chao - he received his father's education since he was a child, and used the last sum of money in his family to become a sublimator, constantly sharpening his skills, until the previous battle with moths, he even broke through the first energy level peak.

  High level and peak are a threshold.

  Such a young swordsman at the peak of the first level, even a big noble like the Ellen family, even if he does not accept allegiance, is willing to give him the status of a diner with good food and drink.

  Actually, Qing Chao was originally a long-term partner of Platinum Iridium Workshop, so he was able to rush to Port Harrison in the first place.

   "I don't want to work for Whale Song Cliff, so I always want to find a place to settle down...Have you chosen Harrison Port now?"

  Ian admired Qingchao's subjective initiative of knowing the current affairs and seizing opportunities to act, but it was impossible for him to agree so directly.

After pondering for a while, Ian slowly said: "Let's wait until we get out of the ruins alive, and I'll give you time to think—Qing Chao, I'm just an ordinary Port Harrison appraiser, so I can't give you much salary. If you really want to follow me, the days to come will be very hard, you have to think about it."

  The corners of Qing Chao's eyes twitched slightly, apparently unable to hold back.

  The average Port Harrison appraiser?

  Are you kidding, he is not blind!

  Ian's swordsmanship is so superb that he thinks it is powerful, obviously not the high-level inheritance of the Wavesinger, and the ability to withstand the situation at critical moments and make decisive decisions...It is enough to prove that his future is limitless!

Not to mention, he has already made friends with the Ellen family, and is also the official appraiser valued by Viscount Grant. In the process of communicating with other Harrison Port sailors, he knew that Ian was the future elder of the White People of Harrison Port .

ordinary?

  If Qingchao hadn’t clearly sensed that he had reached the peak of the first energy level, and his strength could go further after he recovered from his injury, he would not even be ashamed to come to Ian to serve him!

   "Don't take yourself too lightly."

  As if he could sense the inner activities of the swordsman, the young man shook his head slightly and said, "You are at the peak of the first level of swordsmanship, even the Ellen family is willing to invite you as a swordsmanship instructor."

   "It's my honor to be willing to find me... Get up."

   "So my joining now is valuable, isn't it?" Following Ian's voice, Qing Chao smiled and stood up.

  —Is it more rewarding to join in the applause when everyone is cheering than to fight together at the last minute?

   In the eyes of the swordsman staring at Ian, some of them naturally cannot be 'blind loyalty'.

  He didn't make up his mind for that kind of thing, to pledge allegiance to a boy who was probably only half his age.

  Even if he really thought so, with Ian's intelligence, how could he believe it?

  However, the feelings in the swordsman's heart... are deeper and heavier than loyalty.

  —That is hope.

   Qing Chao saw the hope in Ian's heart.

  Although he can't explain clearly, the way is unclear, and even the swordsman himself doesn't know why.

   Maybe it was that sword. The wave-breaking sword tore apart the array of apes, beasts and moths, and defeated the besieging formation with one blow.

  Such an amazing and refined sword definitely requires talent and thousands of days and nights of hard work to achieve a small achievement... and at Ian's age, he must have never stopped practicing since he was able to hold a wooden sword.

  A psychic genius who can persist in practicing swordsmanship at the age of fourteen and has never stopped.

  Just relying on this bit of perseverance and talent, the swordsman knows that the future of the opponent is absolutely impossible to be just an appraiser in a frontier town, and it is absolutely impossible to be just an elder of Bai Zhimin in a mere place!

   This is derived from the swordsman's intuition.

  Compared to that, the regenerative potion, although it was a life-saving grace, was just an introduction.

  Qing Chao has made up his mind.

  —He doesn't want to be a "mercenary swordsman" who can only bring pain to his relatives when he dies, and who can only sell his own force in his life, and become a "ronin".

  At least, this young man, his goal must be bigger and more valuable than his own.

  It's more worthwhile than...the battle my father joined.

  You can also make money, so why don't you choose a more promising path? Let yourself not regret the way.

   Wizard. Chewing on Ian's alias, he couldn't help feeling extremely appropriate.

Yes.

  Guide is indeed his future guide.

   Qingchao's allegiance is a small episode.

  When Ian found Master Goser and Isengard in the cabin, the two seemed to be discussing some issues about the next action.

  The boy's voice was full of doubts: "Teacher, if you move forward, you will go deep into the heart of the ruins. Don't we need to leave this ruins first?"

The voice of the old man was full of hatred: "You, are you confused because of alchemy? Like this kind of super-large ruins, even if there is no maze, it is already a maze. If you don't go deep into the ruins to understand the specific interior Map path, we can't go out at all!"

   "What's more, the core facilities of this pre-epoch relic generally extend in all directions, and you can go to any area and find the entrance and exit there, but it is faster than walking out with one mind now!"

  A very classic topic—when entering the relic maze by mistake, is it better to go towards the center of the maze, or to leave directly?

  Ian thinks it’s fine, anyway, he has a vision of vision, and no maze can stop him.

   But this time, he definitely supports Master Gosai.

So he knocked on the door, got permission, and said after entering the room: "We must go to the center of the ruins. There are too many weird things here, and there are countless weird parasites. If you don't understand the secrets , You may die unexpectedly when you walk halfway.

   When the master and apprentice noticed the knock on the door and turned their heads together, Ian calmly interrupted the topic.

  He looked at the two of them curiously, and asked, "What's the matter, you two, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

  The two masters and apprentices looked at each other, and naturally it was Master Gesai who spoke first.

   "It's not a big deal."

  The old man shook his head and said: "Someone found a map recorded on the crystallized paper of the previous era from the bones on the ground."

   "There are many places marked on the map, including the signs of 'sacrificial place', 'holy place' and 'exit'."

   Tomorrow there will be an update! Absolutely super big change! Everyone just wait!

   Recommend a friend's novel, "I Rewrote Family History"

   The author overlooks the past

   (There is already a million-word masterpiece "The Heavens Beginning from Bailuyuan")

   The 120-year-old man traveled through time and became a white fox in the second year of Xuantong, pointing out the boy himself. Republic of China, double wear text.
