  Chapter 35 Ethnicity

   "Unexpectedly, Teacher Hilliard actually asked Sai Nan and the others for news this afternoon..."

   Smiling and waving, after saying goodbye to Sai Nan and other fishermen, Ian was about to leave with unexpected joy.

  Ask the fisherman. It seems that the teacher's goal is at sea, but the boy doesn't know what Hilliard is going to do, and he doesn't want to ask. Anyway, the other party will tell him when the time comes.

   As for now, it's time to prepare dinner.

This blue misty salmon is equal to eel meat, slightly inferior to tuna, but it is not frozen. Now home cooking, whether it is grilled with salt, sashimi or steamed, it is very fresh, and he is indeed hungry .

   As for the rest of the blue haze…

  Ian can see that Harrison Port catches some rare fish every day, but their identification methods are not developed enough, and many rare catches are sold as ordinary fish, which is cheaper for the lucky ones who don’t know it.

  But Ian is different. His spiritual power seems to be specially used to identify leaks.

   "It's a fish for nothing, this time's favor, remember."

  Ian didn’t have any psychological pressure on accepting what others gave, but Sai Nan was indeed a good person: “If you have the opportunity, help them recognize the true value of their catch, how rare it is.”

  He can take advantage, but he doesn't need to take advantage all the time.

  However, just when Ian left the fish market.

  However, he found that on the street at night, in the drizzle, there was a group of people standing by the roadside.

   In the center of the crowd, a sturdy, rather short white-haired old man stared at him.

   "Elder Purdue?"

   Looking up, Ian showed a surprised expression, this was not a disguise, he really didn't expect it: "Why are you here..."

   "As expected of Ernesto's child."

  Elder Purdue didn’t answer Ian’s confusion, but just sighed with ambiguous meaning: “It’s really tricky.”

  Afterwards, he stepped forward and handed a brown-red box sealed with lacquered wood to the boy: "Take it, it contains medicinal herbs that can relieve mental effects, Siberian Concentration Grass."

"After returning home, soak in boiling water to clean up the foam. After settling for a whole day, take the topmost clear water to drink, and use the bottommost dregs to apply externally to the temples and corners of the eyes for seven days. The effects of nerve poisons such as paralyzing venom...Elan is still young, so the dosage can be less, and you have to use it once yourself to avoid sequelae."

  The elder spoke concisely, then patted Ian on the head, and said: "As for now, come with me. Walk with me, the old man."

   Saying so, Elder Purdue stretched out his hand, motioning for Ian to take it.

  His words were soft, but there was no room for rejection, and Ian did not show any hesitation. He nodded obediently, held the elder's hand, and then walked slowly on the street with the old man.

  The street where the Yushi Wharf is located goes further out, and it is the Central Avenue, which leads directly to the official road. Almost all chambers of commerce have set up their offices and storefronts there, and walking west from there is the guard station where the guards and magistrates are stationed.

   Further outwards are the city walls and the Ewok River.

  Most of the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and some of them were Bai Zhimin. When they saw Elder Pude, they all stopped to say hello to this old man who almost watched everyone grow up.

   "Your father, Ernesto, was once the captain of the port guard, and a sublimator of the first energy level."

  While smiling and nodding at the white people who stopped by and greeted him, Elder Purdue talked softly with Ian: "You may not remember him, but your mother should have said his name."

The old man's hand was rough and powerful, as if covered with a layer of stone skin. He gently held Ian's hand, and his voice was low and clear: "He was expected to take over the post of sheriff after the Yam Knight retired. One of the elder candidates is an upright, resolute, and extremely responsible young man."

  The old man recalled the past, with a little nostalgia and regret: "And your mother Evelyn is smart and strong, and can bring up your two brothers alone."

  Ian remained silent and listened carefully to every word Elder Pude said.

The other party suddenly found him and began to talk about the past of his parents. Obviously, he didn't really want to remember the past with him, an eight-year-old child... Among other things, his father in this life had been with the port guards before he was born. Many of his colleagues died in a shipwreck together, and he didn't understand this.

  Eight years ago, the storm destroyed the whole city and destroyed countless families. Elder Pude was so busy at that time, how could he care about the problem of a single family?

Sure enough, Elder Pude continued: "For so many years, the family has indeed owed your family. This indigenous attack woke me up. Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, you have not had any accidents. Otherwise, when I fell asleep and met your parents, I really don't know how to deal with them."

After a slight pause, the old man said calmly: "I have already sent someone to tell Oceana that the house along the coast will be given to you to live in without any extra money. There is no need to worry about those herbs. They were given by the generous Viscount Grant. Very good, don't be polite to him."

  —he should… no, must have seen something!

  Although all the news he got was good news, Ian's vigilance had been raised to the maximum.

  But he didn't have any sense of crisis.

   There is no need to use the vision of vision. Ian is very clear that even if he reveals that he has awakened spiritual power, he will not encounter any problems at all.

   Look, Elder Purdue sent so many condolences just for doubting.

  If the other party is really sure that he has awakened his psychic powers, as the elder Bai Zhimin, will he still suppress himself, an eight-year-old child? I am afraid that it must be extremely severe to think of this kind of progress due to persecution paranoia.

  The other party will definitely focus on cultivating himself, and according to the hints in Elder Pude's words, it can even be said that the other party will help him embark on the road of ascension, and even become a future elder reserve.

  This is the treatment a psyker should have.

  If Ian isn't...

  Elder Napude is not bad either.

The silent white-haired boy and the old man walked through the bustling central avenue, passed the stone hall of Huaiguang Church with a towering bell tower, and not far away was the most gorgeous Viscount's mansion, where the terrain is relatively high and you can overlook most of it from a high position. Port Harrison.

   On the way, they even encountered a caravan from Nauman, the capital of the southern province. The tall horses with exorcism bells were guided by the sheriff to the warehouse area of ​​the Eastern District—where all the transit and transportation of goods took place.

   But they didn't stop there. Elder Purdue took Ian across half of the city until the sky was dark and the algae oil lamps on the street were dimly lit, flickering and flickering.

   They came to the city wall on the west side of the city.
