  Chapter 930 Phantom of the Black Sun (small chapter)

   "...the capital of learning is a trap, I know that very well."

  Isengard was silent for a while, and then slowly said to the other end of the communication: "It's about the beast of a thousand stars, and the sun bird, right?"

  【...you already know? 】

   "Yes, I already know."

【Yeah】

  On the other side of the communication, Marquis Wilder paused for a moment before saying in relief: 【You have a good friend...you finally have your own career】

   "It is indeed my best friend." Isengard also smiled, but soon he became serious: "However, I still want to thank you, father."

   "We have gone through many dangers to find this truth. Father, you... also went to find it for me. To be honest, I can only say thank you."

  【…】

  Marquis Wilde was silent for a long time on the other end of the communication, until Isengard wondered if the other party might have hung up before speaking: [You have really grown up, no one needs to worry about it]

"Father."

  Elsengarde hesitated a bit when he spoke, but he made up his mind when he spoke: "I know I'm special, and I even understand that, in a sense, the Ellen family is the victim."

   "I can understand your subtle feelings for me and your mother."

   "So, I no longer plan to compete for the position of the Ellen family."

   "After all, my uncle has always been very kind to me."

Saying so, Isengard lowered his eyes. He recalled what Patrick had done to him back then, and sighed: "Although he and you want to get rid of me, in fact, he can't face me at all. Uncle can't face me." For me, father, you still have an older brother, so you still can't do anything, leaving Ian and I a chance to find relief by ourselves."

   "You know it all. I don't need to say more. So... that's it, whether you want to keep my surname Ellen, I don't plan to go back to the Northland."

  【Do you really want to choose this way? 】

  The voice on the other end of the communication was a little tired: 【The Ellen family's property will not be reserved for you from now on, isn't your friend making friends with you for this? 】

  【Your mother’s wealth is always limited, she is a princess with no power, I’m afraid she can’t support your dreams】

"I own shares in Yinfeng." Essengarde is not worried: "All the orders from Platinum Iridium Workshop and Yinfeng Ling are in my hands. Father, I am their communication channel with the surrounding industrial circles of the imperial capital. Leaving Platinum iridium workshop, some things are better."

  【You trust Earl Silver Peak so much? 】

Earl Wilder was a little surprised. Although he knew Ian Yinfeng's achievements in the recent period, but in terms of background, there was still a considerable gap between them and the big frontier nobles: [Moreover, he is the head of a family after all, And you are an outsider... Even if you have shares, you will be excluded from the power center in the future]

  【Not to mention, the Yinfeng leader is now in the risk zone of the struggle between the empire and the flying flames. They can survive it once, but they may not be able to survive the second time】

   "I trust Ian."

  Isengarde said without hesitation: "The Silver Peak Leader is only his career, not his family business, and I am the same."

"Also, you are wrong about this point, father. After the Silver Peak leader defeated the invasion of the demon army, even Flame Land would not use that place as the first point of attack unless they had extra hole cards. But What cards must be used in the South Ridge instead of the West Territory?"

   Speaking of this, Isengard showed a confident smile: "Nanling will become the safest rear of the southern theater of the empire. The wealth of the western region, the merchants who immigrated, and the logistical expansion materials inclined by the empire will all flow there."

   "It will siphon the heritage of the Western Territory, and absorb the wealth, talents, and population there... This is the general trend, and the future of the Silver Peak Territory is limitless."

  【... Can this be said? 】

   "Of course, this is something that everyone should know about. Ian thinks it should even be advertised, and I will announce it."

  Isengard said calmly: "So, I don't need the property of the Ellen family, father."

  【In this case, let me let go】

  Marquis Wilde sighed, with a relieved tone: 【This is not fair to you. You are the son I don’t want but I have, and I am also the father you don’t want but have]

  【This will not change, you are still a member of the Ellen family, but I will not restrain you anymore】

  【However, I still want to explain one thing to you】

  【The trap in the capital of knowledge may not be as simple as you imagined】

  Isengard did not speak, but listened carefully.

  Wilder Marquis continued: [The Gate of Silver Heaven can see people's past lives, some past mysteries and some parallel possibilities. In the past, this was a channel for those tower masters in the capital of knowledge to delve into various taboo mysteries]

  【However, if you want to use the Gate of the Silver Sky, you need a huge amount of energy, which limits the pace of those crazy people】

  【However, during the recent period, they have cooperated with the empire and obtained the technology of the imperial capital's apocalypse-level antimatter core, which made the operation of the gate of the silver sky smoother】

  【At this time, they invited 'special psykers' from all over the world to the capital of knowledge... Yisen, you are not a psyker, haven't you thought about why you were invited? 】

  —I'm a friend of Mahdi (Ian)?

   Essengard thought so, but the moment he thought about it, he immediately understood that there was actually no such sufficient reason at all.

  Only Isengard and Ian themselves know how sensitive their identities are, and outsiders, especially outsiders from the City of Knowledge, shouldn't invite them with such a big fanfare... They invited themselves for other reasons.

  【Because of the blood in your body, the power of other people is sleeping】

  Marquis Wilde said indifferently: [The blood of the sun bird in your body did not originate from your mother—she did not inherit the blood, and is a test product of the previous generation]

  【The blood in your body is a special key, used to control the part of the authority of the thousand-star beast controlled by the empire... You should know about this aspect】

  【So, with your wisdom, can you guess who the power in your body comes from?】

   Isengard was silent.

   He really guessed it, so he remained silent.

"impossible…"

  He muttered to himself: "How can there be such a ridiculous thing..."

  【Yi Sen, have you ever wondered why the Second Prince, the First Princess, and even the First Prince are quite kind to you, which is different from the royal family in the past records? 】

  Marquis Ellen sighed at this time: [And why do I feel uncomfortable when I look at you... Have you really thought about the reason for this? 】

  【The reason is actually very simple】

  【Yi Sen. You... really look a bit like Inaiga II]

  【It was okay when I was young, but as you grow up, you are like a phantom of the black sun except for the green eyes】

   This is the real reason why the City of Knowledge invited Isengard alone, and I am afraid it is also the real reason why the Empire would let Isengarde go to the City of Knowledge.

  【So, the best way to deal with it is not to go】

  After Marquis Wilder left these words, he hung up the communication: 【This is my last advice】

   This is indeed advice.

   Isengard was silent for a long time. He stood there in a daze for quite a long time, then stood up abruptly, and strode towards the goblin's office in the imperial capital, where Ian and Hua An's acquaintance "Mofeng goblin" was located.

  He must tell Ian about this immediately.

  He must also tell others about it.

  Otherwise...he couldn't ease the daze in his heart.

   The follow-up plot is more important. After writing and deleting, I still need to think about it. Today’s chapter, make a detailed outline, and prepare for future explosive changes!
