Chapter 724 Elan, who grows savagely

"Have you heard? We have another noble here, Ian from Bai Zhimin!"

"I heard, I know that kid. He was smart since he was a child, and later he learned alchemy and inscriptions with the help of Master Grant... My dead ghost learned a little bit of fur, and he was able to work in the guards. The child is proficient in everythinghe can become a nobleman, I believe it!"

"Hey, when will my child be half as smart as Ian... no, a quarter smart? It will save me a lot of worry..."

This is the content of the exchange between several women with children at home on Sea Street in Harrison Port.

"Xiahuiling, that place seems to be recruiting skilled craftsmen... You don't need to be too proficient. They will provide training there. What you want is young and imaginative. How many buddies seem to be suitable?"

"Don't, really don't, do you believe when people say you don't need experienced masters? Isn't it like saying 'the soldier next door doesn't care about your physique, he will help you exercise, all he wants is a dead life'? This iron handle Let's be cannon fodder!"

"What kind of cannon fodder is there to be a craftsman? Arrest us to forge iron day and night, and burn the furnace sooner or later? You see, the list says that what they are going to do is a very new thing, and the experience of the old master is useless..."

"It's still the same sentence, you believe what they say? Although Xiahui Ling is also in Nanling, he has to go over mountains and mountains!"

"Hey, just as you said, my life is worthless, and now that I'm old, if I don't find some regular work, won't I have to live with my parents for the rest of my life? This time, I will fight!"

This is a conversation between two apprentices who are resting in the backyard of the blacksmith shop.

"Brother, did you see the notice of recruiting manpower from the leader of Xiahui? The salary is quite generous!"

"The Xiahui leader...is it a little dangerous? It hasn't been long since the battle on the mountain people's side, and many people have died... Besides, didn't the lord's mansion also say that? The master and Ian and his Qingchao's guards teamed up to repel the attacks of special forces from other places... Obviously it's dangerous! I'm not willing to go."

"Doesn't this prove that the leader of Xiahui has the strength? I know Qingchao, my good guy, there are at least ten of me who wielded that sword. I can't wait to learn from him, and the leader of Xiahui is said to be joining the guards." Team, you can get the guidance of that swordsman!"

"Huh? Brother, are you determined to go to Xiahui to collect it? Harrison Port is a good place. Although there are fewer jobs after the loss of the aborigines, the master is generous and suitable for settling down and raising a family."

"That's buddy, you have a wife, of course you want to settle down, brother, I plan to try again to see if I can break through - fewer jobs, fewer opportunities, and less credit, then Qingchao was better than the brothers before." A little bit stronger? He was adventuring in the South China Sea Labyrinth with Young Master Ian, so he has the second level of merit and love! This is a chance to get a chance!"

"Hey, brother, you dare to fight - here is a toast to you, let's not go home today if we don't get drunk!"

"Next time if I can come back alive, I will invite everyone in the group to drink, and if I don't get drunk, I won't return!"

This is a business negotiation between two mercenaries in a tavern in Port Harrison.

The entire Port of Harrison was full of news about Xiahui leading the convoy.

Not only because the lord of the Xiahui collar was also a native of Harrison Harbor, and he was warmly received by the Viscount Grant, but also because the compensation offered by the Xiahui collar was indeed quite attractive.

Although since last year, there have been news of Ian becoming the lord, success and fame, and news of Ian's perfect performance in the imperial capital earlier, but all of this is far worse than Ian carrying a whole load of novelty goods The convoy with various high-end alchemy equipment returned to Port Harrison's tenth.

With these definite and practical things, the people of this era who see no rabbits or scatter eagles will have a little perception and understanding of the 'new territory' in the distance, and will arouse 'curiosity and desire'.

Of course, in a sense, Xiahui's recruitment operation in Harrison Port this time is to use money to compete for the talents accumulated over the years in Harrison Port. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is blood sucking.

But in fact, everyone in Port Harrison, including Viscount Grant, believed that Port Harrison had made money.

Because on the continent of Terra, the most important thing is not these relatively low-end 'talents'.

It's the knowledge of'alchemy'.

Xiahuiling shared the technology of the 'new agricultural planting building' with Port Harrison, and allowed Port Harrison to open a production workshop for 'conventional plant culture fluid']

Harrison Port has the right of first repurchase of new weapons such as 'Magnetic Storm Armor' and 'Charging Rifle', and is allowed to open three production workshops for related equipment

Harrison Port and Xiahuiling have reached an all-round cooperation agreement: the territories of both sides allow free exchange of personnel, caravans of both sides enjoy tax and fee reductions, and the two sides have reached a number of bulk trade agreements related to raw materials and grains

Xiahui will help Harrison Port cultivate basic alchemists, and as a price, Harrison Port needs to assist Xiahui to purchase large quantities of alchemy substrates and related alchemy crops. The specific agreement is still being negotiated...

These agreements were all news released from the Lord's Mansion before Xiahui led the team to arrive.

After hearing these agreements, no matter who they are, they all feel the generosity of Ian and appreciate his act of giving back to his hometown.

After all, as an alchemist close to the master level (Ian's alchemy level in the eyes of ordinary people), he is willing to accept the Viscount's unborn son as his disciple. The fact alone is enough to make Viscount Grant smile. It doesn't matter that Xiahui led the 'blood sucking' of Port Harrison.

After all, there is no shortage of ordinary talents with the treatment of Harrison Port, and a genius like Ian, who has no feelings, how could he accept apprentices so casually?

As for the relationship between Viscount Grant and Ian, at least the cooperation between the two parties is still continuing, and the child of the Viscount must be Ian's personal disciple.

In this way, even if Port Harrison suffers a little more, so what? What's more, they didn't suffer at all.

Then, is Xiahui Ling the one who suffers?

Of course not.

Harrison Port has the commercial port that Xiahuiling needs most today, and also has the "low-end technical personnel" that Xiahuiling lacks most today.

Because the Sequoia natives have been pacified, Harrison Port does not need to maintain so many standing troops, so even experienced mercenaries and adventurers don't have to keep so many. These people can be attracted by the Xiahui collar, Be the strength they most desperately need.

Moreover, it's hard to say about other aspects. As a port city, Harrison Port, which lacks arable land, really needs the design of the agricultural building. They will definitely popularize this technology as much as possible, and use themselves as Xiahui. Xiahui led the summary of relevant technical experience.

One side needs technology, the other side needs raw materials and population; one side needs the direction of future progress, and the other side needs trial and error experimental fields and population data...

A match made in heaven!

This is what Ian and Viscount Grant were thinking after discussing in Viscount Harrison's mansion.

"Come here for today, Ian."

The Viscount stood up and said with a smile, "Your brother and Elder Pude are waiting for you outside, so I won't disturb your time to communicate with your relatives."

For this series of cooperation, he is undoubtedly the most satisfied one.

Yes. In the short term, there is no doubt that Port Harrison is at a disadvantage: the benefits that Ian can give are all things that will only be effective in the future after a few years, especially those production rights that require early investment. Things that can take effect slowly in the later stage.

Is something good? indeed. But not only has there been no long-term actual verification effect, but it also cannot make quick money, and even needs to lose money.

For many lords, this alone is enough to make them cautious, or even wait and see.

Only Viscount Grant, who no longer cares about short-term gains and only invests in the future of Ian and his children, can accept it.

As for the population loss in a short period of time, not to mention, Viscount Grant knows very well with his eyes closed that there will be a large number of capable white people who will move to Xiahui Territory in the future.

Many of his alchemists are white people.

But the pancake Ian drew for him is really delicious...

"It was a pleasant morning."

Of course, Ian is also very satisfied, after all, Harrison Port is also his hometown, and there will definitely be a considerable number of Bai Zhimin who will not migrate to Xiahui in the future, but will continue to stay in Harrison Portfor decades, this is also considered Bai Zhimin a piece of foundation.

Ian, as the current head of the Silver Peak family, would not be able to do such a stupid thing as completely abandoning Port Harrison and putting all his eggs in the same basket.

The construction of Harrison Port is certainly to make Viscount Grant happy, but he will not lose... After all, the employees of those workshops and the artisans who exchanged training must give priority to the white people.

The two lords, one big and one small, looked up, and they looked at each other and smiled, both very happy.

The study door opened, and Viscount Grant opened the door, motioning for Ian to go first.

And the boy had just left the door, when in the reception room not far away, a white figure slammed into Ian's arms with crisp footsteps!

"Ouchwhy do you look like Shasha..."

Ian picked up the white thing that fell into his arms and turned it around, and then put it firmly on the ground: "You guy, you are much stronger!"

He lowered his eyes and looked at his younger brother gently: "And he has grown taller!"

"Um!"

Elan, who threw himself into Ian's arms, raised his head, staring at Ian quietly with a pair of purple eyes, and then showed a big smile: "I've grown taller, brother!"

"it is good!"

Ian's eyes lit up, he laughed and pinched Elan's face: "And... the words are fluent!"

"I practiced for a long time..."

Although it is said to be fluent, Elan's speech still has a pause that is difficult for ordinary people to detect: "Bishop Bishop said that I am, and my mind is used to thinking like this. This is also a good thing, because I am not used to talking, so , very good at meditation!"

"Brother, my meditation has become 'quiet'! Although I have less time...but the bishop said that I am very powerful!"

Tranquility is the third stage of meditation in the Huaiguang Church. The first two stages are 'sitting' and 'no waves', which represent 'can sit for a long time without feeling restless' and 'can calmly look at all kinds of troubles and emotions in one's body anxiety without any mood swings'.

And "tranquility" means that there are very few distracting thoughts in the heart, and a long-term peaceful and peaceful state is reached. At this stage, the painful penance will also become mild, because all the perceptions of the body will be suppressed by the meditator with one A kind of perceptual coping outside the body.

Even among monks, 'tranquility' requires a long period of penance to arrive at.

As for tranquility, there is only 'waiting'. Once meditation has reached this state, there is nothing to actively practice, and it is enough to maintain such a peaceful state of mind.

The meditation method of the Huaiguang Church is obviously born out of the spiritual practice sublimation of the civilization of the pre-epoch, and this meditation method is obviously different from the meditation method created by Ian. It emphasizes not directly using some means to transform one's soul, but using A subtle way, using the method of transforming people's thinking mode, in turn shaping the soul from scratch.

In general, it is a method that places too much emphasis on talent. It is just right for geniuses, but for mediocre people, the effect is not as good as the meditation method created by Ian to transform one's soul bit by bit.

However, Elan's ability to practice so quickly to a stage close to 'tranquility' is enough to prove that he is extremely talented in this regard.

It's no wonder that on the way of the swarm, it took only six years for Elan to go from a disciple randomly accepted by Bishop Baiwu to an official member who can accept the direct inheritance of the Holy Mountain.

It sounds like nothing, but you must know that even a second-level Minoan blood hunter like Redemption is not an official employee of the Huaiguang Church from a certain point of view, but a contract worker at mostand Ai Lan Ke is given potion rations as soon as he reaches puberty, so he can get the preparation directly!

As we all know, the end of the universe is the fabric. Elan can go to the end in one step. Of course, there is Ian's legacy, and his own efforts and talents should not be underestimated.

As Ian sees it now.

In the boy's silver-blue eyes, information about Elan is emerging.

"what?"

Ian was slightly taken aback.

Originally, he thought he would only see his younger brother grow in spiritual power, but he couldn't help but look surprised.

Crystalline life forms have strange connections?

Wait...could it be...

In the path of the swarm, that swarm crystal dragon? !

This Elan has indeed grown up, but the growth is too barbaric, right? !
