Above The Sky

"I have a child, Purd."

Viscount Grant smiled and told his old friend the good news: "It's Clendelle's."

"Ah……"

Staring blankly at the smiling old friend, Pu De subconsciously took another sip of wine, smashed his mouth, and said in disbelief, "I thought... are you serious?"

"I thought you were just having fun..." he whispered.

"In the beginning. I liked both. Maybe Lamar a little better, but Clendelle is pretty good too, she's a good woman."

Viscount Grant didn't have any mood swings because of Pude's words, because that's what normal imperial nobles do, and he's no exception. He's a real scumbag in terms of emotions.

It's just that he, who has never been childless, suddenly has a child. This feeling... is indeed very strange.

Amazing enough to change a person.

"In recent years, Clendale has been working hard to cultivate, and finally cultivated the bloodline of the first-level 'Submarine Lizard Whale'... You know what this means, Pude, I didn't invest any extra in just four years. resources, she has completed the most basic practice. What she has bred is a real heir who can inherit the blood of the Grant family!"

With such emotion, the Viscount shook his head and said, "It's a little slower than Lamar. Their brothers and sisters... are indeed my right-hand man."

"Of course." Thinking of something, the Viscount looked at Pude with a smile: "It's incomparable to Ian."

"Ayers!" Pudd raised his voice: "Pay attention."

"Don't you know me for so many years? He's not red-haired, so what are you worried about." The Viscount didn't care, he lay on the sofa and said to himself with some yearning: "And how do you say it... Although it's a bit strange, But I do feel that I am completely different from the past."

At this point, he paused for a while, and then changed the subject: "Pude, my father told me back then that you were the greatest helper who could help me settle Harrison Harbor - I didn't believe it at the time, but it proves now. That's true."

"Although Yam is loyal to me and is also my good friend, his ability is not enough. He can only complete the tasks I gave him, and he has no ideas of his own... This is not bad, but it would be better if he was smarter."

"Lamar is very capable, but he is still too young, and he will be naive in some aspects... Now it is naturally not a bad thing, but acting alone can make mistakes."

"Only you..."

"Oh, sir..." The tone was lengthened, and Elder Pude already knew what the viscount wanted to say.

He also understood why the other party wanted to keep him, so he smiled and shook his head and said, "Ian guy, I don't think your son can hold him down... I can't hold him either, you might not."

He already knew that the current Ayers had indeed changed: "You can see that? He... doesn't look like us."

The old man sighed softly and praised from the bottom of his heart: "He wants to go out - the kind of person who can be honored by himself!"

"Yes, I can't help it... This is the first time I saw Mr. Gosey look at a young child like that... It's like staring at rare treasures and wanting to touch them, but I'm afraid that my old hands will get dirty. took him."

Squinting his eyes, Viscount Grant whispered to himself, "Even Mr. Gosey feels that he may not be able to handle it, so what can I do?"

"But so what?"

Raising his head and looking at the rain clouds gradually gathering outside the window, the Viscount narrowed his blue eyes.

He said slowly: "At that time, he will leave Port Harrison, right? But in any case, Port Harrison is his hometown... He can't completely give up here, and my child will be the lord here. "

"In the past, I might not want to let go and eliminate those uncontrolled 'elements', but now I gradually understand... There must be some leeway."

"You have to save some," the man repeated.

Elder Pude was silent for a while, and he sighed: "You have done very well, two big storms..."

"Don't talk too much, Pude."

The Viscount raised his hand, he knocked on the table, and said calmly: "Ian is the only genius I can cultivate here, and I will definitely not let go now... But the teacher is right, Port Harrison will only bury him, It doesn't do me any good either."

"If this time, he can successfully get credit among the Ellen family, I will use the relationship left by my father to go to the imperial capital to apply for a 'official knight' status for him."

"In addition to his future status as an official alchemist, he will be able to walk around Terra, and the nobles should not be underestimated."

Because he was too shocked, the elder didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's time to say thank you," the Viscount suggested.

"Indeed, indeed... Ailes, thank you. I'm really bothering you."

Viscount Grant laughed, he continued to lie comfortably on the sofa, watching the dark clouds in the sky: "I don't actually have much ambition, I just want this port, the port named after my father, to be able to Go on, get bigger and more prosperous.”

"I just want my father's name and our family's name to leave a mark in this world - and one day, I will also leave my mark, such as the search and construction of an 'Ai' to guide the South China Sea merchant ships. Lighthouse, what do you think?"

"good idea."

Elder Pude took another sip of bee fungus wine: "But now it's too expensive, there aren't enough merchant ships, and the indigenous spirit of the tide has not been resolved..."

"Wait, when your child grows up, maybe it can be repaired."

With that said, he wanted to grab the wine bottle, but was snatched away in advance by the viscount who had been staring at it: "I'll pour it for you!"

"No, how can you trouble the nobleman to pour wine for me, a commoner..."

"Shut up, or don't drink it. Sip it slowly and learn how to drink a high-level bar!"

...

Platinum Iridium Workshop.

"...Do you really want to take that child? A wave chant, who has not been trained for half a year. With such strength... At that time, he will be distracted to protect him. Having Yisen is enough trouble."

A middle-aged man's voice sounded in the guest room, and an old voice responded calmly: "Of course. Patrick, you can't understand at all at your level, an appraiser who can detect the structure of the second layer of inscriptions in the blue flame bracelet. gold content.”

In Master Gesai's room, there is a long table with a series of bottles and jars. The old man is sitting on one side, using simple tools to analyze the blue flame bracelet in his hand, while Patrick is standing behind the teacher, looking Some are cloudy.

"So what?" The man's tone seemed to be simply unhappy: "He just discovered it!"

"Why don't you say he's only fourteen years old? Don't be mad at Ailes in this regard, he did find a good material, but your Ellen family has no shortage of talents."

The old man did not stop the appraisal work in his hand, but he pondered for a while before continuing: "If I was a little hesitant at first, it is not because the child named Ian is not capable, but because he is too capable. I'm afraid we can't protect him, and if there is an accident that cuts his way, I will regret it immensely."

"Look at this." He raised the blue flame bracelet in his hand, and the light of the prosthetic eye instantly illuminated the mithril gemstone jewelry: "I need to confirm repeatedly to find the second layer of inscriptions hidden in the natural structure of the gemstone. Circuit, this is the work of a master at the same level as me - but he can sense that something is wrong with his instinctive sharpness!"

"What a genius." Master Gosse said with emotion: "If it weren't for me having no energy to teach the second real apprentice, and such solicitation is too disrespectful to Ailes, I really want to take him back to the imperial capital immediately. "

"Then what exactly made you change your mind, teacher? Our task is not easy, aren't you afraid of his accident?"

The middle-aged man's voice was suppressed, and the old man said frankly: "His keenness. Patrick, I know, you think that the appearance of this child will share the credit of Yisen, and the other party is from Ailes, you can't poach, so you are angry. "

"But he's really suitable - no matter whether Ailes's life extension magic plant is acting or not, the abnormality of the blue flame bracelet is absolutely impossible to detect by chance!"

Speaking of this, the old man's voice carried a deep anger: "Isengard is my most optimistic child for so many years, and the internal competition of your Ellen family is too much... Pat, remember to talk to Lord Marquis later. Report to Madam, you must investigate carefully, or I will do it myself."

"……Yes."

The blond man's voice was reluctant, but the old man didn't take it seriously, because his former student was so awkward: "Okay, in the final analysis, Ian saved Yisen's life, so what's the point of giving him a little credit? It is also a matter of taking risks to do well, without his keen sense of origin, we may not be able to find clues for months alone."

"After all, our real purpose is to find a superior beast that feeds on the 'Shining Light Element Crystal Shell'."

"Identified as a high-level dragon species of 'Zhanhai Crystal Dragon'!"
