  Chapter 532 The Big Trouble of Dragon Worship (13)

   "Big problem!"

  The member of the Dragon Cult who was in contact with Ian was Pansha, the grandson of Elder Manya. The host of the foreign trade of the mountain people spoke solemnly at this moment, and told Ian about the current terrible situation.

"Lord Xiou is actually very cautious. He knew that his disguise was not very good, so he didn't make an official appearance from the beginning to the end. He just relied on the perception of the dragon soul to help find the villains in Feiyandi... The enemy may be among us. A spy passed on the news that Duke Thorin's people and Flameland had guarded the surrounding area in advance, and directly captured Lord Xiou and Lübeck's team."

   "After that, Lord Xiou originally wanted to take back the dragon soul, but the other party used a special spiritual ceremony, relying on the trace of the dragon soul in the prosthetic body of the adult, and imprisoned the dragon soul of the adult in turn!"

   "Don't worry."

  Ian took a deep breath, and then calmly said, "What did the King of the Mountain say?"

   "The king encountered something. Some time ago, he said that he found the remains of the ice dragon four hundred years ago, and he has not returned yet—but we think the king must have been plotted, and even the enemy's target was the king from the beginning..."

Although Pansha looks carefree, he is actually a careful person. He described the situation for Ian in very detail and with clear semantics: "We don't need to worry about the king himself. After all, if the king can't be separated, we Efforts are useless—the problem is how to rescue Master Siou."

"what can I do?"

  Ian asked calmly: "Need information on the western border, or medicine? If there are other places that need help, please feel free to say so."

"what?"

Pansha was a little surprised, he seemed a little surprised that Ian was willing to help: "But, Ian, you just joined Dragon Worship Cult not long ago...Although you are also a dragon blood holder, it is right that you can develop well in the imperial capital now." Our biggest help."

   "After all..." He smiled bitterly: "If something really happens...I mean, after all, we have to prepare for the worst."

   "If that's the case, we probably have to wait for you to come back to preside over the overall situation in the future."

   To put it nicely, in fact, I don’t expect Ian to be of any help.

  Ian was silent for a while, and he was not surprised by this.

  His age and advantages are also disadvantages. The advantage is that everyone believes that he has a bright future and is willing to invest resources and protect him.

The disadvantage is that everyone doesn't think that Ian can really do anything now, whether it is the Alchemy Association's research on biological warfare that has never been told to him from the beginning to the end, or the Dragon Sect until he asked The bad news is the same.

   This is protection.

  It’s like the elders don’t want their situation to affect the juniors who are studying hard. Everyone feels that Ian should improve his alchemy now, and he has more important things to do in the future.

   So for now, forget it.

"Oh." He sighed in his heart, and took out the spiritual protection necklace that Xiou gave him from his arms: "What's the problem? Xiou's body should be specialized in soul and spirit, and one scale is enough to protect all Damage and curse psionic powers of the first level and part of the second level."

   "His deformed body makes the soul extra developed. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so easy to be plotted against."

   "But in other words, if someone focuses on this point and plots against Xiou... Xiou who didn't expect this, with his intelligence, it is really difficult to counterattack."

  —It should be the Book of Silver Glory.

The Book of Silver Glory was stolen, and there must be some skills related to real dragons in it... Or, the reason why the Nanling Worshiping Dragon Sect cares so much about the Book of Silver Glory may be because there is something in it that can target Xiou's "abnormal" skills. Dragon' state approach.

   can heal, but it can also bind. So this time, I'm afraid Xiou really delivered it to the door by himself.

With his mind turned, Ian ignored Pansha's slightly pessimistic tone, and he still said calmly: "Recently, the Empire and Feiyan Land are fighting biological warfare. The ferocious beasts, Flameland may have established a stronghold in such a chaotic environment, and captured Xiou and others."

   "However, I know that the Empire is about to launch a counterattack. I will tell you the specific time later. If you really want to rescue Xiou and the others, it should be the best opportunity to start while the Empire is counterattacking."

   "Contact the Marquis of Barton, the empire may be a bit big, but at least the Nanling Province will not want the chaos in the western region to spread to Nanling, and they should not reject the Dragon Worshiper's plan to help them destroy the Flame Land."

   "Ian..."

   Pansha froze for a moment, then said seriously: "Very important information. Thank you very much."

"No thanks." Ian analyzed the information he had, converted it into words, and said, "Where is Elder Manya? He should be investigating who the enemy is, right? You tell him, although it seems that the Institute and Flameland, but it is actually Lord Thorin."

"Ghost School and Grand Duke Sorin are cooperating, and at the same time, Grand Duke Sorin is cooperating with Flameland—the one that sealed Xiou's soul should be the 'Book of Silver Glory', which was originally stored in the Royal Library of the Imperial Capital, but It was stolen by the Academy of Gnosis and used for related experiments..."

   When he said this, Ian suddenly froze for a moment, because he thought of it, the experiment conducted by the Academy of Gnosis in Laian collar also seemed to be about soul and psychic power...

  It seems that the Academy of Gnosis should obtain experimental materials in the western region, and then conduct experiments in a relatively peaceful place in Nanling.

   And in the Western Plains, they must have a large-scale experimental center, at least the experiments that require more materials must be carried out there.

   And with the depth of cooperation between Grand Duke Sorin and Flame Land, this laboratory is definitely not just for the Academy of Gnosis. There must be a part of Flameland in it.

   In other words, Flameland's headquarters in the Western Plains should be nearby.

   Xiou and the others did find the headquarters of the Feiyan special forces in the past, but it was basically tantamount to throwing themselves into a trap.

   "Things are in trouble."

  Ian frowned. He thought of all the things and everyone he passed after leaving Harrison Port, and suddenly realized that the complexity of the matter might exceed everyone's imagination.

  —The self of the Hive Path broke through the independent Grand Duchy of Thorin.

   This memory in the precognitive dream has no weight, and has not even encountered any decent resistance.

  Thinking about it carefully, it may be that the Grand Duchy of Sorin has already been harmed.

  A large number of refugees from the Western Territory were relocated to other places, and the Feiyan Land, the Institute of the Intellectual Mind, and even Grand Duke Sorin himself came back to bring disaster to this land.

   It's the experiment of the Institute of the Spirits and the biological warfare of Feiyan. People who can really stay in such a ghost place are either crazy or stupid.

  But the premise of this idea is that Grand Duke Sorin is mentally handicapped, taking pleasure in torturing himself and his own base.

   But he obviously isn't.

  The question comes, what is his real purpose?

Ian's premonition told him that this point is very important... On the surface, it seems that Flameland and the Institute of the Intellectual Academy are using the power of Grand Duke Sorin to achieve their own goals, but in fact, it is the Grand Duke Sorin using the Academy of Intellectual And Flameland's technology to achieve his goal.

   "Could it be that this is the time when the Grand Duke became independent? But it's a bit too early compared to the Worm's Hive Path—is there anything happening?"

  All things were vaguely connected together in the young man's heart, and he vaguely sensed that a huge conspiracy was taking shape.

  Grand Duke Sorin, at the cost of his own territory as the place where the two countries confront each other, has brought together the biotechnology of Flameland and the soul and psionic technology of Gnosis Academy. His ultimate goal is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination.

   That is probably a force that can affect the world situation.

  But it was difficult for Ian to express this instinctive and dangerous feeling to others, so he could only say to Pansha: "This is the general situation. I will go to the Patrol Knights to ask about the situation."

   "...I'll pass the news on to Grandpa."

  The mountain people said seriously: "But it's still the same sentence, Ian, you still have to ensure yourself. We believe that Wang will definitely be able to get out of trouble, and the matter will naturally be resolved when the time comes."

   "If the king can't...you still give priority to not being exposed."

  —Do not expose? Are you kidding me, does anyone else not know that I am a member of the Dragon Worship Cult?

"I see."

  Ian couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Obviously, Pansha still doesn't understand how strong the empire's intelligence network is. If it is Elder Manya, he must not be able to say such formulaic words.

   After finishing the communication, Ian closed his eyes and thought for a while.

   Afterwards, he left the laboratory and went to the garrison area of ​​the Patrol Knights.
