  Chapter 531 Ian: I Feel I'm Isolated (33)

   "Why haven't you replied to me yet? Something went wrong with the review?"

  However, until the afternoon, after Ian finished his experiments, he still hadn't seen any news from the association in his contact crystal board.

   This can’t help but surprise Ian—he didn’t come up with a new theory this time, but just published a paper in the name of improving medicine. Although it was a bit shocking for his age, pharmacy is always improving.

In fact, before Ian, many people have already tried to modify the magical weapon potion, but it is a bit difficult, and there is a lot of need for repeated experiments. Not everyone has Ian's prophetic power and the Ellen family's Sufficient budget, so did not make it to the end.

  Ian didn't intend to monopolize his reputation either. He had already contacted the other alchemists who cited the papers and reached an agreement. In this way, the association should be able to give a result soon.

   But there was no result. He had been waiting for almost a week, and the initial review and storage notice was not sent out.

   "It's not true that some noble alchemist hacked my thesis and planned to change it to his own name?"

  Even Ian couldn't help thinking of this very exaggerated possible development, but in fact this kind of thing really happened.

At that time, when Axel, the keeper of the soil, had just succeeded to the throne, a grassroots alchemist was forcibly taken away by a noble alchemist. The research results were forcibly taken away. No one believed that it was the result of his research.

   But fortunately, the successor Axel immediately launched a major cleansing of the old aristocratic system. Needless to say, the result is that the lucky alchemist had a happy ending, while the oppressive noble family was ruined.

  Since then, most of the newly emerging aristocratic forces will not, at least not do such shameless things so arrogantly.

   Shaking his head, shaking off his illusions, Ian contacted the association and asked about his thesis review.

   Two bad news.

  The bad news is that no one has robbed Ian's thesis, it's just that there are too many things in the association recently, and there is no time to review it.

  Now, Ian has no way to show his academic ability by slapping the brainless nobleman. By the way, he will become famous in the imperial capital and publicize his theory of "ultimate potion".

   Missing an opportunity for exposure and free advertising, what a pity.

  The person in charge expressed apologies, they will speed up the review as soon as possible, but basically don’t think about it before the end of the month.

   Another bad news is that the big one is coming.

   "What's the big one coming?"

  When Ian heard this sentence, Ian was a little confused.

Of course, the original words of the person in charge of the Alchemy Association cannot be such simple and easy-to-understand words as "the big one is coming". He said it very euphemistically, and the general meaning is that the Imperial Alchemy Association will have an extremely important task for some reason recently. It needs to be completed, and the danger of this task is quite high, and several masters will participate.

  After hearing the young man's question, the person in charge reminded again tactfully that an alchemist of Ian's level is also easy to be selected, and maybe Ian will know what is big by then.

   Saying this kind of thing means that Ian will definitely not be selected-to put it bluntly, it is just perfunctory.

   The Riddler is really **** good.

With a sense of indignation towards the Riddler, Ian frowned slightly, but he had some guesses in his mind: "It's the sixth-generation aerospace armored power furnace, right? The armor development speed of the Republic of Ganterigum It’s too fast, even the assault armor that can fly at several times the speed of sound can already be installed in line, but the empire is still stuck in the completion of the power furnace.”

  Air combat armor is very different from land combat armor and sea battle armor. Not only must the power output be higher, but also need to be more stable to ensure that the armor can complete various difficult maneuvers.

  The empire’s alchemy furnace core level is actually the best in the world, but it lags behind in the sixth-generation armor. It is reasonable to ask the relevant alchemist masters to tackle the difficulties in the past.

   But the question is what does this have to do with Ian? He is currently showing as an alchemist specializing in potions.

   And, why 'dangerous'?

  To be honest, Ian has been studying behind closed doors recently to digest knowledge, so he doesn't pay much attention to outside news. But it's only two months, what else can happen?

   It turned out that it really happened.

  After knowing Ian's actions, Master Gosai communicated specially to give Ian the answer.

  Recently, in the Western Plains, the battle situation between Grand Duke Sorin's side and Flameland has deteriorated.

  As the espionage war intensifies, the means of struggle between Flameland and the Empire have become more intense.

After the first use of biological weapons in Flameland, the spies of the Empire released a large number of parasitic floaters in the coastal areas of Flameland—the larvae of this kind of mosquitoes will parasitize the local fish schools, kill the fish and use the corpses as a breeding ground. nests, while the secretions of floaters can accelerate the proliferation of coastal algae, causing ocean poisoning.

  In contrast, Flameland also released a large number of extremely bad corruption fungi in the empire, infecting large areas of farmland and woods in the western region, and the wild beasts and monsters living in it were also parasitized by fungus corruption and entered a state of rage.

Nanling has relatively good self-purification ability, so the situation is not obvious, and Harrison Port has not changed much. However, it is said that a large number of refugees have poured out of the Western Territory, and among these refugees are spies from Flameland, who specialize in spreading fungi everywhere.

   Strict defense is not the solution. It is necessary to develop a special agent against this hatching fungus as soon as possible or to contain the organisms.

  And all research on bioalchemy weapons is 'dangerous'.

  This is why the Royal Alchemy Association has been so busy these days—in fact, they have been working overtime for a month.

   No wonder there was no time to review Ian's thesis.

   At this point, Ian can't help even if he wants to - he is too young and too 'new'.

  Although it is true that the young man cannot be a flying flame spy, it is always safe to fight against similar biological weapons. Ian, a new elite alchemist, cannot join the team unless he is really unused.

   Ian has nothing to do about it. Qualifications, prestige and fame are indeed what he lacks the most. Strength can only make up for part of it, but it still takes time to hone it.

   "How many refugees have been sent out from the Western Territory... If this continues, people will be empty? What is Grand Duke Sorin thinking..."

From another angle, Ian looked back at the operation in the western region, and couldn't help being confused by Grand Duke Sorin's choice: "The current world is going roughly the same way as the hive path, but the empire has discovered that something is wrong with Grand Duke Sorin. , Recently, there have indeed been rumors that 'the Grand Duke has reached a cooperation with Feiyandi', and it is estimated that some actions will be taken before the end of the year."

   "The question is, why?"

"Grand Duke Thorin can certainly blame the empire for ignoring him and wanting to consume his strength to fight against Flameland, but his cooperation with Flameland is to poison his own territory? How can there be such a lord... something is wrong, No matter how stupid Grand Duke Thorin is, it is impossible for him to consume his true strength to take revenge on the empire."

   "If he's not stupid, there's definitely something wrong with him. And it's a big problem."

  Thinking of this, Ian decided to suspend the alchemy experiment and collect information about the Western Grand Duke from various channels.

  Then, he got a piece of information from the Dragon Worshiping Cult channel that made him extremely confused and felt uneasy.

   Just as he expected in the train hijacking case.

  Theo and Lübeck who went to raid Feiyan were found out and captured.

  Furthermore, Feiyan used a special method to restrain Xiou's dragon soul in turn through the connection in the prosthetic body.
