High Above

An alchemy genius from Nanling, a guest of the Ellen family, one of the best alchemists of the younger generation, Ian of Harrison Port encountered an accident, and it was a blessing in disguise that he broke through to the second energy level, even in the imperial capital. It can be considered big news.

After all, second-level people in their twenties are common, but second-level people in their sixteenth year old are not common.

Even though Ian almost collapsed his seismic organ due to this, if it weren't for Master Gosei's superb skills and the Ellen family's spared no effort to save him, he would have become a useless person... But being able to reach the second energy level at this age means that he There is indeed this potential.

A potential that is enough to attract the attention of major nobles.

"Where did the Ellen family find such a genius?"

"Have you not paid attention to the news in the Imperial City recently? He has been famous for a long time. He is a talent discovered by Master Gosei in Nanling. It is not surprising to say that he is a descendant of the Cieharolvo family..."

"Oh! Those labyrinth madmen are a clan that was exiled after offending the Black King... Indeed, this is not surprising."

"I don't know whether it was bad luck or good luck. This young man was affected by the attack of that old bastard King Tianhong and had to take magic potion to break through to save his life. The result was really good. His life was saved and his breakthrough was also achieved."

"Does this break the historical record?"

"Almost, almost. The historical record is held by the Kaolin family. The fourteen-year-old Chosen One, the second level. He almost pushed the Kaolin family's inheritance to the fifth level, in just one generation. It’s really not enough…”

"It's also amazing..."

Similar discussions appeared in aristocratic circles that were concerned about the new generation and alchemists. They had long known Ian's name and were quite optimistic about this young future master.

Many of them have already invested in Ian, for example, using various reasons and excuses to provide some experimental materials for Ian's laboratory. Otherwise, how could it be possible for Ian to invest in the platinum workshop alone? Researching highly effective potions or considering etheric weapons?

However, this time, Ian broke through to the second level, which really made some people feel that they were at a big loss - they originally made long-term investments based on Ian's age, but who knew that this young man had only been in the imperial capital for a month, and he directly Breaking through the second energy level?

Do you want it to be so fast?

Some nobles felt that they might not be able to make this connection, so they still maintained their previous efforts after sending condolences to Ian, while some nobles believed that it was not too late, so they increased their investment.

The great knight who visited this time was the representative.

"Ian! You finally woke up!"

When Isengard saw the awakened Ian, he immediately stepped forward in surprise and wanted to give his best friend a hug - but he quickly realized that Ian was still injured, so he hesitated and stopped where he was.

"It's not necessary. My injury is on the seismic structure, and my body is not that weak." Ian laughed, but took the initiative to step forward and give the other party a hug: "I feel very good now. In a few days You can conduct research normally.”

"Also, this is..." He turned his head and looked at the blue-haired knight who was watching the two of them with a smile.

"It's fine if you think it's okay." Isengard was still a little frightened. Who would have thought that King Tianhong would dare to violate the Holy Mountain Convention and take action directly in public?

The people in Feiyandi have been wrangling, saying that King Tianhong was not attacking, but was taking action out of humanitarian considerations in order to completely eliminate the core of the Awak Territory disaster that was constantly causing chaos and death. Not only was the empire not grateful, , on the contrary, it was their good intentions that were not rewarded.

But taking advantage with words is not really an advantage. This time Feiyandi fell into an obvious low point in public opinion.

"As for this one." Turning his head, Isengard introduced Ian: "This is the deputy commander of the fifth legion in the western theater of the empire, the great knight Il Chargaff, and also the baron of Qibai territory."

"I have the temerity to disturb your rest." The blue-haired noble smiled gently, and extended his hand to Ian quite politely: "Before the Avak Territory incident, we have always wanted to find an opportunity to contact you to discuss something. However, I never expected to encounter so many accidents.”

"It's not too late."

The white-haired boy shook hands with the other party. He realized that the blue-haired knight was quite strong, perhaps even better than Viscount Avak who used the Death River weapon, but he would not be resurrected. He is definitely no ordinary baron.

However, if you can find the person or force introduced by Isengard, the background and strength behind it must be extraordinary, and the subsequent conversation with the other party in the reception room also confirmed this.

Il is the representative of the western theater of the empire. He came here with the goodwill of several imperial military and industrial aristocrats.

What they represent is the largest military-industrial group in the western part of the empire, excluding Archduke Thorin, ‘Flintstone’.

There are more than a hundred professional workshops and factories affiliated to Firestone, and there are countless scattered small laboratories. There are more than 4,000 professional alchemists under its command, and it has a complete talent training system. It is a genuine large-scale military industry. The complex can also be ranked among the top three in the empire.

"incredible!"

Ian took a deep breath in his heart. No wonder he could find Isengard to help introduce him. Love is an arms dealer group.

As Master Gosei said, the imperial military was keenly aware of the value of Ian's highly effective potion. At that time, they planned to discuss cooperation and investment with Ian. Ian could receive a generous amount of funds from the imperial military. , but he also has to study the most effective templates of several pharmaceuticals designated by the military.

But this awareness is just based on instinctive sensitivity. When Tres' team used Ian's extremely effective magic weapon potion, they rushed directly into the Azure City like chopping melons and vegetables, almost completely disarming Viscount Avak's knights without harming anyone, and even... After the annihilation, the Firestone Group, who knew the news, immediately confirmed that the value of the technology possessed by Ian was much greater than they had previously imagined.

Much.

Think about it carefully, how lethal would an agent spy be who can carry various enhanced states for more than twelve hours or even twenty-four hours, and perform various long-term infiltration and sabotage missions?

The reason why many potions are impractical is because their duration is too short.

For example, optical camouflage agents can achieve visual invisibility, which is even stronger than invisibility, but it only lasts for half an hour.

yes. For critical missions that require infiltration, good steel is used on the blade, and half an hour is enough... But if it can last for more than ten hours, will the mission be easier and simpler? It can even be said that it is like entering a deserted land.

What if it is twenty-four hours?

What if this invisible agent also has several rows of countless BUFFs hanging on his body?

Although even Ian cannot guarantee this result, the mere possibility has made the Firestone Group, which has recently become aware of the superiority of special operations espionage warfare, willing to invest a large sum of money in Ian's research.

"The first batch of cooperative development research funds is fifteen thousand thalers. There are no conditions for this, Mr. Ian, it is just our optimism for the future of highly effective pharmaceuticals."

Baron Il smiled and revealed a number to Ian that made him very amiable: "Besides that, we want to ask a question... Can we try the source material structure of the highly effective demonized weapon potion? Connected to the armored alchemy furnace heart?"

After hearing this number, the white-haired boy immediately looked at Baron Il in a new light, feeling that he was quite polite, kind and friendly, and a good person.

Fifteen thousand thalers... He has been in the imperial capital for the past month. Counting the funds supported by Boin Workshop and others, the total is only two thousand thalers. This is actually a waste of money. Even for an alchemist with the support of a workshop, a few hundred talers a month is enough to do many experiments, and not everyone is engaged in high-precision industries.

In addition, Ian smelled the taste of Kaizi from the courage of Baron Il's mouth which was worth fifteen thousand thalers.

Baron Il, who was treated as a kid, was unaware that the cooperative development was essentially buying the patent production rights from Ian. For the sake of the Ellen family and Master Gosei, his offer was actually quite reasonable: "...ours According to Alchemist’s analysis, this is theoretically achievable, but there are still several technical difficulties. We would like to know your thoughts as a developer.”

"sure."

For Taller's sake, Ian pretended to think for a while and then gave an affirmative answer: "The important principle of highly effective potions is to expand the source of potion energy. The human body, natural source matter and even the heart of the alchemy furnace are naturally feasible."

"But the latter is a dead thing after all. It's not like people can fine-tune themselves. Therefore, if you want to make a magic potion that can communicate with armor, you need to carry out a special design."

"Moreover, if successful, the duration of the potion may be very long...even forty-eight hours is not impossible."

"In that case, it would be a great blessing." After receiving the affirmative answer, Baron Il's eyes lit up.

It may sound a bit weird to add potions to armor to strengthen it - human beings need potions as a temporary method precisely because they cannot add parts to themselves casually. If they really want the effect of a magical weapon, they can directly create a strengthened one. Wouldn't weapons be enough?

This is the truth, but cost and design difficulty are also issues. For example, if you want a magic weapon circuit that can strengthen the weapon when needed, you have to add an additional module to the armor, and this module cannot conflict with other circuits, and it must occupy a key position, and its effect But it's not worth it.

For another example, is it more expensive to make a batch of inscription-etched warheads as shield-piercing weapons, or is it more convenient to make a batch of magic submunition coatings, store them in armor to maintain their effect, and soak them when needed for firing?

This kind of consumable product does not need to be stable for a long time. Even if only five of the ten bullets are effective, it is still profitable.

For another example, if you want the aerospace armor to have the ability to ignore inertial movement, you need to design it from the ground up. In the end, you can only create a high-speed model for reconnaissance, which does not have the imagined combat effectiveness.

But if there is the blessing of the 'Extremely Effective Wind Blessing Potion', the combat type aerial armor can also have the maneuverability of the high-speed type for a long time!

As for the duration, it may not be as long as other potions...

Anyway, an armored battle lasting more than four hours is considered a super long-term battle. If nothing else, a cruise in the heart of an alchemy furnace doesn't last that long.

The reason why no one thought about this technology before was mainly because the duration of the potion was too short. The effect was only half an hour or ten minutes. It might have just left your own war zone, let alone a long-term attack behind enemy lines. A strategic mission.

Moreover, the only covering agents that can be used for armor are basically smear-type covering agents. The amount that can be used on humans and the amount used for armor are not the same thing. After calculating the cost and effect, the number of applicable agents is not large.

But overall, it still has considerable potential.

Ian showed that this idea was feasible, proving that the Empire had another advantageous technology in armor. The Firestone Group had sensed the potential of highly effective potions in this area, so they sought connections and entrusted Isengard to help introduce it.

And Isengard also knew very well that his friends needed this kind of support.

"but."

At this moment, Ian revealed his true purpose: "For the experimental process, I need an armor to conduct relevant disassembly analysis."

"You don't need the latest model, as long as the alchemy furnace and skeleton are complete."

"Understood." Baron Il didn't think this was a problem: "How many do you want?"

Ian's eyes widened and he stared at the other person in shock.

——How many units? Do you just use plural numbers for armor? !

But Baron Il doesn't think there's anything strange about this at all... It's not the latest armor in active service. For military-industrial groups like them, the old-fashioned armor will only be sold to other small countries, waiting to be scrapped or replaced. Treated as a target.

Not to mention, compared with the value of Ian's experiment, even the latest armor in active service will do. Air and sky armor may be a bit expensive. Isn't the armament of lower-class troops like naval warfare and land warfare just made casually?

According to Baron Il, if necessary, he can even find a few pilots to cooperate with Ian's experiment, and he can test it for as long as he wants.

——Is this human language? !

With a shock in his heart, Ian turned his head and looked at Isengard, who was drinking tea, and found that the other person had a calm face. He even smiled and nodded after noticing his eyes.

Apparently, Isengard is not sensitive at all in this regard.

"good!"

In this case, Ian was not polite to the empire. He nodded: "I want three, two for land combat and one for naval combat. The fourth generation is fine, and the fifth generation is best."

"It will be delivered to the backyard of your laboratory tomorrow." Baron Il promised with a smile. He did not hesitate at all. Obviously, he could make the decision on the spot for such a small matter.

Next, Ian chatted with the representative of the Firestone Group about other issues. Finally, after Isengard euphemistically stated that 'Ian is not in good health and should not spend too much energy for a long time,' Baron Il left happily. .

Watching Baron Il's leaving figure, Ian's smiling expression slowly calmed down, and he frowned slightly: "Ethan, who is behind the Firestone Group?"

"Aunt Alegria, as well as Earl Red Wind, Marquis Boluo and other military nobles. The Marquis Barton is also one of them. She recently heard about your name and deeds, so she specially chatted with me for a while."

Isengard reported a name that was not surprising to Ian, and the white-haired boy nodded clearly: "I said, why are you so generous? It turns out that there is a relationship between the eldest princess and the Marquis of Barton... Then I am indeed You’re welcome.”

"You're welcome! They have money."

Isenguard immediately said that his aunt and the Firestone Group were very wealthy and they should take advantage of what they deserved. Don't be lenient.

"How are you feeling?"

This is what Isengard is more concerned about. Ian raised his hand, turned his wrist, and said with a smile: "It's pretty good. At least I can do alchemy experiments."

"That's good……"

In fact, if it weren't for his aunt's request, Isengard would not have wanted to bring Baron Il here to hinder Ian's recovery.

That is to say, Master Gosei has always ensured that Ian's health has recovered well, and talking about this kind of topic can make him more energetic, so Yisen gave it a try with hesitation.

Unexpectedly, this is really the case!

As soon as Ian talked about the alchemy experiment and armor, he became much more energetic. Although he could still see that he was a little weak, his energy had recovered to 90%.

Now that Ian has woken up, there is no need to stay with Master Gosei. After the two of them greeted Master Gosei, they took a car from the lower city back to Isengard's residence in the middle city.

There was quite a silence in the carriage. Ian was thinking about the design of the armor he would need next. He had materials and tools, as well as silver chips to ensure processing accuracy. His extreme realm allowed him to rival industrial machines with his bare hands. But it’s too much work to rub the parts with bare hands from scratch.

In this case, it may be a good idea to use military armor parts for raw material transformation, which can save more time.

And Isengard is also thinking.

The blond boy was not stupid, he was very smart. Isengard was keenly aware that there must be a secret that he didn't know between his teacher and Ian, and this secret had existed since the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea.

In fact, Ian's injuries may not be that serious, just to cover up his true advancement speed... After all, they have fought side by side. Isengard certainly knows that Ian's combat power has been quite outrageous since the Great Maze of the South China Sea. .

He even guessed that the reason why Ian took the risk to become the second level was to prepare for returning to the territory of Nanling.

The second-level lord and the first-level lord knight are two different concepts.

Therefore, Isengard is thinking about what else he can do to help Ian.

"Don't think so much."

Ian, who had decided on the next plan, raised his head. When he looked at Isengard's face, he knew what he was worried about.

Ian smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder: "Haven't you helped me enough? From the alchemy laboratory to subsequent investments, and even the funding of this batch of imperial military, they basically rely on your help. Yes. You have half of the credit for all my achievements."

"On the other hand, I didn't do anything to help you."

Speaking sincerely, Ian remembered the echo-related research conducted by the Academy of Gnosis in Avak Laboratory, so he turned on the Ring of Silence and told Isengard about it.

"Grandfather...has your Majesty's research gone as far as this?"

It concerns his own life and even the survival of his soul. Isengard also attaches great importance to this aspect. He frowned: "But it seems that your Majesty's real purpose is not just to borrow my body for rebirth - he is sure There are other related plans, and I am just an important experimental subject."

"But the problem is, no one in the entire empire knows what His Majesty is thinking."

"The information is still too little."

Ian shook his head slightly. He could not figure out the true purpose of Axel, the land-keeper. Although the emperor did not seem to appear often nowadays, his influence still covered the entire empire and even covered major events.

Even a crazy genius like Grand Duke Thorin was plotted by him without knowing it: "Where is your home?"

"The situation is very bad." Isengard shook his head slightly and broke a big news: "My father has not contacted me for a long time, and the struggle between the brothers and sisters has gradually escalated... I really don't want to go back to Ellen's territory, but One day I have to go back.”

"That's my real home after all." The blond boy said softly.

"yes."

Ian nodded slightly. He understood Isengard's complicated feelings, and he also understood that the reason why Isengard repeatedly wanted to help him was precisely because he had lost many 'family members', so he did not want to lose himself as a friend.

Therefore, he said seriously: "Then when I have the opportunity, I will accompany you back to Ellen Territory."

"Furthermore, judging from your father's reaction, he should also have some information about the Earth Keeper's plan, which is what we need."

"Sometimes, you have to talk things through so that you can solve the problem."

Isengard was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Yes. Thank you, Ian."

"You're welcome."

Ian turned his head and looked out the window at the dusk. It was now dusk. The dark golden light on the other side of the sky turned into a line on the horizon, lighting up the clouds and the tops of distant mountains.

The scenery made him relax: "No matter what, Terra is always beautiful...even if you just look at the sunset and clouds."

"Yes." Isengard also looked out the window, and his originally anxious expression gradually relaxed.

The two of them stared at the sunset in the distance in silence until the alchemy cart drove into Midtown and returned to Isengard's residence.

But Ian didn't expect that there would be goblins waiting for him here.

To be precise, a group of goblins were waiting for him.
