  Chapter 498 Lonely Mountain Conference and Alchemy Assessment (33)

   It's hard to imagine that someone would actually have the desire to open that bottle of tasteless stamina potion when faced with such a sumptuous feast, and then gulp it down.

  Ian originally only had a phantom in his imagination of this kind of character, but now that phantom gradually changed from virtual to real, and turned into the appearance of a blond boy.

  Yes, the stamina potions that Essengard drank on a daily basis were all top-grade, and even had special effects. A bottle of replenished stamina would allow Ian to continue fighting in the South China Sea Labyrinth for a long time.

   In terms of luxury, Isengard, who eats alchemy potions for three meals a day, is definitely more terrifying than coming to such a dinner once in a while... But what is even more terrifying is this guy's attitude.

  Ian stared at Isengard in shock. The blond boy could glance at the delicacies in front of him, and after admiring, he calmly drank the stamina potion.

  After drinking, Isengard was still able to look at himself with a puzzled and innocent expression in a daze, as if he didn't quite understand why Ian kept staring at him.

  —Is he a child of a poor family, or Isengard is a child of a poor family?

   "Eat something."

   At this time, Mrs. Ellen said, she looked at her son: "You have reached the high level of the first energy level... Ethan, you have grown up."

  Mrs. Ellen's tone was gratified, and Isengard blinked. He looked at the alchemy bottle in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "But I've finished eating... I'll drink the second bottle..."

   "I asked you to eat vegetables."

  Mrs. Ellen's tone was not refusal, and the blond boy looked at the maid in a daze as he brought him a cup of creamy mushroom soup.

   This meal is not so much about flavor as it is about fun.

Ian always pays attention to his food intake, ensuring that he is in the past category that can be explained by the first energy level, while Isengard still seems to be a little uncomfortable with physical food. He frowned, feeling the taste and taste of various delicacies. The taste always feels a little uncomfortable.

   Watching Isengard deal with the food that he had never eaten before with a headache made the boy full.

   Mrs. Ellen looks almost like Ian. It seemed she was one of those grown-ups who would find joy in raising children.

   During this process, Ian also understood why Isengard grew up with alchemy potions as the main food until now.

For a high-level parasitic organism like the Lightning Erosion Dragon, in the process of reproduction instead of splitting its offspring, the mother will supply her own 'blood', that is, the sublimated body fluid, to the offspring for absorption, which is essentially a kind of emulsion and alchemy potion. Crude version, so until the alchemy dragons grow up enough to hunt physical prey, they will eat this liquid as food.

   It is very simple for bloodline inheritance to avoid distortion, that is, to ensure that it acts according to the bloodline. The heirs of other bloodline families may eat some specific monster materials in addition to alchemy potions when they are at a low energy level, while alchemy dragons only need potions.

   During the meal, Mrs. Ellen not only formally thanked Ian again for bringing her child out of the South China Sea Labyrinth, but also asked about Ian's family situation.

  After she knew that Ian's parents had died, he was raised by Elder Pu De, and he had a younger brother who practiced in Huaiguang Church, she nodded as if she understood something.

  There are many delicacies, but it is impossible to eat them all. When Ian felt that he had almost reached the theoretical limit, he stopped.

  Afterwards, Isengard chatted with his mother about the recent situation for a while, and after reporting on his work in the Platinum Iridium Workshop, the two resigned and left the Ellen family's mansion.

   Before leaving, Mrs. Ellen made a meaningful point.

   "Don't forget, Ian...you have a position in the Platinum Iridium Workshop. If you want to receive the salary accumulated in the past, remember to take the alchemy assessment. The higher the job, the higher your salary will naturally be."

   Regarding this, Ian naturally lowered his head slightly: "I will never forget, ma'am."

At the table, Mrs. Ellen asked a lot of questions about Ian's future plans, and Ian's answers were very safe, all of which said, "I want to stay in the imperial capital and study alchemy under the banner of Master Gosser." '.

This answer is flawless, and it can be perfectly compatible with all the semi-potion actions Ian wants to carry out next, as well as going to the library, and even meeting the goblin. To please Mrs. Ellen.

"how do you feel?"

   On the way back and on the way to the Alchemy Association to register for the assessment, Ian joked to Isengard: "How does it feel to eat food that can be chewed for the first time?"

"how to say…"

Isengard thought about it carefully, and gave a strange description: "I didn't know what the main purpose of the teeth was before, and why they grow in the lips when they are so strong... But now I probably understand. This feeling may be A snake suddenly learned to bite."

   “Snakes are meant to bite.”

  Ian shook his head and said, "You might as well say that earthworms have grown teeth."

   "Why should I compare myself to an earthworm?" Ethan Gardner laughed: "If I have to say it, I should say that I was an elephant before, sucking water with my trunk, and now I finally start chewing leaves."

   "Yes, Mr. Elephant."

   After teasing each other for a while, Ian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

  The second prince left after awarding the territory for himself. Later, Mrs. Ellen also mentioned that the other party was going to attend the Gushan meeting.

Obviously, the prophecy of the Hall of All Souls may have really foreshadowed some kind of disaster. Although the warnings of the Huaiguang Church are always regarded as alarmist, in the end, the facts will prove that they are right—if there is something wrong, it must be The disaster was inadvertently resolved by some coincidences and miracles.

   "I'm so curious..."

  Ian thought in his heart. Of course, it was impossible for him to get news about the Lonely Mountain Conference from the Ellen family. As a young man, he had no reason and shouldn't be interested in these things.

  However, it’s just this aspect... If it’s a ‘fairy’, it’s normal to ask anything.

   "Ms. Mofeng seems to be the representative of the goblins? She should have participated in this conference. Next time I go to visit her with Ms. Huaan, I will ask."

   "What kind of gift should I bring?"

  The boy fell into deep thought.

  Next, Ian's destination is the Imperial Capital Royal Alchemy Association, to participate in the assessment.

Ian has the certificate of a junior alchemist, that is, the apprentice level, and this time he is estimated to skip the official level directly and directly pass the elite level, which requires an additional application—but it is not a big problem, not to mention the help of the Ellen family, Even Ian himself has enough standards.

Anyway, there is nothing to be nervous about. Even if there is an accident in this test, it will not affect the plans of Ian and Isengard. way to achieve your goals.

   While the two were on the road in the car, a conversation was still going on in the main house.

   "He's not interested in territory."

  Mrs. Ellen stood on the edge of the terrace on the second floor. She raised her head and looked up at the sun on the virtual sky, her eyes indifferent.

  【Not surprising, I have talked with Barton a long time ago, what he loves is adventure and different worlds - he likes to mix all kinds of extraordinary things】

   And in the virtual sun in the sky, a ray of light shone in her eyes, turning into golden subtitles.

   "Not only that. His soul also gives me a strange feeling."

  The blond lady folded her hands on her chest, she frowned slightly: "This feels like, he is a real fairy."

【Yes. His soul is extraordinary, very similar to a goblin... No wonder the people of Bai would choose the blood of a goblin for him, and the envoy from Anle Township would follow him closely... I suspect that he is the chosen one, just the soul of his childhood. It is not obvious, so it is ignored]

"Well. When his observation system was working, I didn't sense it, but neither you nor Frost Moment noticed anything—observation must have a reaction, and his observation made you two strong fourth energy level None of them can sense it, which is enough to show that this ability is extraordinary."

  【This can also explain why he got involved in the matter of Lean collar... Is it the soul resonance of the chosen one? Moreover, his alchemy may also be unexpectedly powerful because of the blessing of psionic energy]

   "You can't see it either?"

【Um. If it’s really the chosen one, it’s normal if you can’t see it]

The subtitles in the light beam slightly adjusted the font, as if to adjust the mood: [In a special area like the imperial capital, it is difficult to manifest multiple heart light bodies. 】

  【Let’s see what kind of strength he will show in the assessment】
