Above The Sky

A piece of armor naturally can't do anything, and it is difficult to block the short bows and arrows of the natives.

But hundreds of thousands of pieces of armor are connected in series to form a whole, but they can form an external defense module of ether, which can block the fangs and claws of monsters or the bullets of alchemy firearms.

If coupled with the enhancement of the energy supply of the etheric hearth, even the alchemy artillery can be blocked!

In the final analysis, that is the strongest trump card that the Governor of Port Harrison and Viscount Grant relies on to suppress the surrounding natives. Naturally, the more spare parts of this defense module, the better.

Although theoretically speaking, this most basic inscription defense armor can be made by anyone with the level of a junior inscription craftsman, but not everyone can have such a stable hand and gain the trust of the viscount. The key, and the work that can't go wrong.

What's more, it took Ian nearly half an hour to inscribe such a piece of armor.

If you fight against a powerhouse of the same level, the speed of armor consumption is probably several per second.

"Destruction is always more difficult than creation... Without the assistance of silver chips, and relying only on my own basic skills, I am afraid that it is close to the level of an official inscription craftsman, and the assessment may be a bit strenuous."

After finishing this successful drawing, put down the nail plate and lithography pen, Ian stretched his back: "Well~ today's task is completed, and the progress is not very obvious."

Looking sideways at his workbench, he couldn't help complaining: "The tools are still too poor, and Port Harrison can't buy a full set of inscription tools for normal craftsmen."

The youth who has not yet fully developed has a handsome face, a pair of light blue eyes, and waist-length hair is braided into a long braid, which falls from the shoulders to the waist.

He was wearing a black hooded off-the-shoulder vest, the white robe that should have been wrapped around his waist, and the crocodile leather waist bag was tied by a belt, which seemed to contain a lot of things.

Even for Terran people with decent looks, Ian's appearance, which has gradually grown, is extremely stunning. If Tang Xuan appears in an unfamiliar place, he will definitely attract a lot of attention, so he usually uses a hood to cover him when he goes out. Keep your face down so you don't get into trouble.

But fortunately, he does seldom go out, and he acts quickly even if he travels on weekdays. Only during festival celebrations and important gatherings in Bai Zhimin, will he be a disciple of Elder Pude, a person who gradually emerges as a prodigy, and has a talent for alchemy and alchemy. Psykers with inscription talent appear.

As an ordinary person, being too good-looking may cause a lot of trouble.

But as the future leader of a family, with outstanding looks and abilities, it can impress everyone and provide significant cohesion.

At least, when there are many white people who can't recognize all their relatives, they all recognize Ian.

A face that can be deeply remembered and even recognizable at a glance is also a kind of extraordinary power.

"Today's schedule has been completed, it's time to take a break."

Packing up the nail plate and the inscription knife, Ian put away the lithography pen carefully - even though the lithography pen is very old, it is actually the most valuable tool in his body today.

The crystal of the ultra-high-purity lightning element at the tip of the pen alone is worth fifty thalers of silver... You know, a deerskin coat worn by a noble is only about twenty thalers.

On the pen body, you can switch the inscription array paths of different thicknesses and sizes of lithography knives through different buttons, which is also worth dozens of talers.

With just such a pen, you can buy more than half of a cow, and the price is comparable to the price of all the materials on a first-level monster... And after the light core of a thunder-hunting jellyfish is refined and processed into elemental crystals, it can at least make Thirty nibs came out.

——What is the added value of technology? What is a cutting-edge processing product? What is profiteering?

Since knowing the value of his pen, Ian has also deeply understood why Viscount Grant has made every effort to train him to become an official alchemist, an inscription craftsman, and even a scholar's determination.

Really, really lucrative...

It has been six years since the youth awakened to the memory of his previous life, and the teacher has also left for four years.

Thanks to Hilliard's dedicated teaching and the silver chip he left behind, even if Ian is studying inscriptions and alchemy at the same time, two subjects that are hard enough for ordinary people to study, can easily go hand in hand and directly pass the Apprenticeship and junior professional grades, moving towards full professional grades.

In addition, his sand armor apprentice True Form practice, as well as the practice of the wave chant, also accumulated a lot.

If you count the large amount of source material stored in the ancient dragon's core, Ian's real combat power is probably second only to the two second-level powerhouses in Harrison Harbor today.

Whether it is his own elder Pude, or the two assistants of the viscount, or the mercenary chief Lubeck, at most they will draw out their cards and fight him.

Even, it will be slightly inferior to him.

In the entire Nanling Redwood Forest area, it is difficult to break into the few sacred places where the indigenous people worship totem masters. Other areas are like walking on the ground for young people.

But Ian didn't like fighting.

If possible, he would rather read a few more books, do an experiment, or inscribe a few more inscriptions to improve his proficiency, rather than waste his energy fighting.

His time is precious, he has a lot of research to do, and a series of plans and timelines to be realized in the future, and he doesn't want to waste it on pointless disputes.

Of course, that doesn't mean Ian is a nice gentleman with a soft personality.

On the contrary, it means that if Ian takes a shot, his enemies will never have a chance to waste his time.

However, for the past four years, Ian's life has been fairly quiet.

There was no enemy who didn't have long eyes to come and waste his time, which made him feel at ease to accumulate knowledge and skills for four years, and gradually matured his body, completely satisfying the requirements of the sand armor apprentice's next step, and continued to practice. conditions of.

It was also in the past four years that Ian made his name in the 'appraisal circle'.

Identifying a store relies on reputation, fame and hype, and then makes money from the rich man Kaizi at a high price.

With the support and recommendation of Viscount Grant, Ian used his psionic power and the assistance of silver chips to identify ore herbs, unknown brand-new monster materials and some ancient creations for many rich businessmen and sublimators, and even alchemists. .

From the Viscount's point of view, Ian's psionic power is biased towards 'analysis' and 'perspective', and can see changes in part of the psionic field.

This is a fairly high-level observation system psychic ability, and with a little training, extraordinary eyesight can be exercised.

And Ian did not disappoint him.

Except for several unsuccessful identifications of monster materials, most of the natural ores, herbs, and even dilapidated ancient relics, teenagers can show their related attributes and possible functions one by one.

Especially for ore and ancient relics, because of his ability to see through and analyze, Ian can even accurately infer the internal structure of an unknown ore, and even discover precious essentia crystals hidden in the depths.

As for the ancient relics, because Ian can see the changes in the psionic energy field, he can always accurately judge all the source material structures of the other party, and then infer its possible function based on his knowledge of alchemy and inscriptions. above eighty percent.

This is something that many formal appraisers cannot do.

Today's Ian is well-known in the entire southern appraisal circle. Of course, strength is part of it, and youth and appearance are extra points.

There was even a wealthy businessman from Nauman City. After Ian found a piece of natural pure silver crystal among many primitive ores, he not only wanted to spend a lot of money to invite Ian to work in his chamber of commerce, but also wanted to betroth his daughter to him.

Ian is not stupid, so naturally he declined, and this rich businessman has no regrets, but he does not lose his favor. Every time there is a need, he will always come to Ian for appraisal.

nature.

These biases are all disguised.

In fact, with the ability to predict the horizon and the silver chip, Ian has nothing that he can't identify, that he can't pick up, and it's even less likely that there will be mistakes.

But who would be so stupid to show it all before the wings?

So he deliberately set several shortcomings and advantages for himself, such as the "inaccurate identification of animal things" and the advantages of "inanimate things".

The former is the disadvantage of all observation system psionicists who can observe the natural psionic field, while the latter, mainly because Ian wants to obtain more information about the ancient relics of the pre-epoch, so he deliberately shows his advantages and allows more People sent more unknown ancient relics to him for identification.

In this way, he might be able to use the information database of the silver chip to gradually piece together the whole picture of the former era of Terra.

This is a very long process. The four and a half pre-epoch relics identified by Ian in the past four years are the fragments of some kind of insulation facility, the pre-epoch alloy fruit knife-even the rust and the outer plating were washed away, Ian really wanted to scold people at the time - ordinary heated kettles, the swivel bases of ancient statues and the alloy structural fragments of a large engineering creation.

These things are really useful, but they are not useless at all!

However, Ian is not impatient, the truly useful ancient relics, it is impossible to give him such a novice to identify, and the holder will not come to a place like Harrison Harbor.

All he needs now is fame.

Famous, not afraid of no chance.

Just when Ian was about to pick up a book and do some alchemy puzzles to relax his mind, he suddenly heard a wind chime from the door of the shop downstairs.

"Oh? An identified guest?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Ian naturally knew that the person who came to his store also shook the wind chimes in advance.

The teenager raised his head and showed a business smile: "I hope it's something interesting."

Put down the book in hand and go downstairs.

Ian greeted the tall visitor: "It's been a long wait."
