Above The Sky

"Oh?"

Pat's tone was puzzled: "I found such a thing, the teacher still intends to continue to complete the task?"

"of course."

Master Gosse's voice was calm: "Patrick, this is actually a very simple truth... The farther away you are from the imperial capital and the Ellen Land, the safer Yisen will be - in this remote Harrison port, who can suddenly Unleash power to threaten Yisen, who has our two protections?"

"On the contrary, if you go back rashly, you may encounter an accident, not to mention that if you don't complete His Majesty's mission, the relationship between Madam and His Majesty will also decrease, right?"

"It's better to say that we must complete the task. Only with Elan, whom His Majesty admires, can we ensure our own safety."

"That's the problem." The man said thoughtfully, "The task is difficult."

"indeed."

Putting down the bracelet in his hand, the old man pondered for a while, then got up and took out a map from the package on one side.

Spread the map out and put it on the long table, you can see that this is a map of the sea area that is even more detailed than the map in the mansion of Viscount Grant.

Among them, in the 'Sea of ​​Lights', it is marked with a different color of gold.

"The original element crystal shell can only be said to be a surprise. It can enrich the harvest channels of element crystals in the coastal areas... but it is not enough to attract His Majesty's attention."

Master Gosse stared at the map in front of him at the moment, and there were small dots on it, which marked the production points of various element crystal shells, as well as the situation of other sublimated creatures around.

"However, the appraiser of the Royal Alchemy Association detected the aura of a high-ranking dragon from the empty shells of the crystal shells."

The old man looked solemn, and even Patrick was very cautious.

Crystal Dragon, a rare and peculiar dragon species, generally only appears around the seabed mineral veins. It is a marine relative of the pyroxene ankylosaurus, and it mostly appears around the Inner Sea of ​​Starfall and Whale Song Cliff.

There is a crystal dragon along the coast of Nanling that no one has ever thought of, not to mention the crystal dragon's variant "Zhanhai crystal dragon" - this variant can only appear in the formed sea maze, it is the crystal dragon's powerful psychic energy. A mutant individual caused by a field infestation.

It would be a joke to say that the Empire lacks the material for a crystal dragon... but the labyrinth species are hard to come by.

Most labyrinth beasts are far stronger than their counterparts, and their materials are necessary for some special superior inheritance.

"no way."

Whispering to himself, Master Gosse sighed and said to himself: "After the Dark Moon turmoil, the original sea labyrinth of the empire was destroyed in a multi-party infighting. Although it has been rebuilt on the original site, the ecology has not yet recovered, and the crystal dragon will is one of them."

"indeed."

Patrick obviously understands the importance of this. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the golden marked area on the map: "Several princes and princesses can say that the reserves are still enough."

"But if the group is not restored, the future inheritance will definitely be manipulated by other countries."

With the strength of the empire, although it is no longer prosperous, it is not difficult to purchase the materials for the crystal dragon.

The problem is that high-level Warcraft materials are originally strategic resources, and occasional interaction is considered a strategic exchange, but if the Central Empire purchases the same Warcraft material for a long time, it is enough to prove that their internal potion circulation system has a great problem. , high-end strategic materials are limited by people.

But how can it be easy to capture the crystal dragon?

Not to mention that the common origins are all in the territory of other countries, even if it is really captured, how should it be transported back to the labyrinth controlled by the imperial capital?

"Even, we can't let the spies of other countries notice this, we can only send us to act."

Master Gosey shook his head slightly: "This is His Majesty's trust, and we must not let it down - the juvenile crystal dragon feeds on the element crystal shell. To find the crystal dragon, the young appraiser needs the keen perception."

"Although I can do the same thing, but in terms of efficiency... After all, it is a man-made psionic jewelry, and there is no 'desire' lodged in it, after all, it can't compare to that young man."

"It's an advantage for Ailes and the young man for nothing."

With his hands on his chest, Patrick said a little unhappily: "He is really lucky. There is a medium and large maze next to his own territory, and I don't know if he can live in it..."

"Isn't that what the Black King sent Old Grant here back then?"

Master Gosser shook his head slightly. He hunched his back and paused on his crutches: "I'm going to rest. I'll talk about the next thing tomorrow."

"Okay. Recuperate, teacher." The blond man sighed, then turned to leave.

The old man reminded: "Remember to inform the Marquis and his wife, and let them start the review of internal personnel as soon as possible! This second-layer inscription structure is definitely made by elite inscription craftsmen. People with this kind of help...strength Not small!"

"I know." Patrick agreed.

He left Master Gossey's room, walked out of the Platinum Workshop, came to the street, then jumped out of shape, and left Port Harrison quietly.

The riverside along the harbor was deserted at night, and there were no beasts. The surroundings were silent and dark, and only a few insects could be heard. Patrick landed on the top of a pine and cypress tree in the night wind. Not far away, the lights of Harrison Harbor shone in the darkness, and a hazy halo was derived from the South China Sea at night.

The man stared at the city. Fifteen years ago, it was only taking shape. The towering walls were full of traces of battle. At night, the entire city was only patrolled and the fire of the towers.

But now, it has become a spark ignited by the empire in the wild and dark place. The fire is burning. His experience and knowledge tell him that this place will become a prosperous business center in the future, and it will become a place between the mountains and the mountains. A shining pearl in the sea.

"I'm really... envious."

With a sigh, Patrick closed his eyes and was silent for a while.

When he opened it again, his expression became firm: "Although I am not a noble with my own territory."

"But this time... Ailes, I won't lose."

He took out a crystal board from his pocket, then took out a special pen and began to write quickly on it.

East of Nanling.

The junction of Yongji Ocean and the south coast.

"Oh... The boss has sent a message... Let me see what instructions your lord has..."

Beside the dense algae sea, in the dark sea covered by dark clouds, a fleet of ships, large and small, stopped in place.

The largest of them is more than fifty meters long, while the smallest is less than twenty meters. It is more a ship than a ship.

The entire fleet was shrouded in a hazy layer of fluorescence, which reflected the faintly glowing fluorescence in the sea of ​​algae.

"The summons came in the middle of the night. Our boss is better at calling people than our elf master."

And on the largest ship in the center, a lazy voice sounded, although the boss and the adults were in the mouth, but there was not much awe from the heart: "Well, the plan is accelerated? Are you going to make a surprise attack so soon? But I haven't gathered all the wandering pirates here..."

Accompanied by the sound of deep thought, the sound of strokes rubbing on the crystal plate can be vaguely heard.

The one who made the sound was a handsome young 'human' with dark green long hair.

His forehead was bound by a long black cloth, and his pure gold eyes with almost pupilless eyes and long pointed ears all proved his identity as a pure-blooded elf.

The elf pirates in the coastal waters of Canaan Moor have basically become a regional feature. This group of loose elves who do not obey the rule of the elf royal court is not so much a bandit, but a group of freelancers - they undertake all types of tasks, including armed Darts, commercial escorts, looting competitors, exploring labyrinths, developing isolated islands and various special tasks such as digging pearls, chasing shells, catching conch, and being a mercenary.

Because of the elves' unique oath culture, as long as the elves can make an oath, there is basically no need to worry about the credibility of the other party.

As for the trivial matter of raiding a country's exploration ship, it's really not worth mentioning.

The elf pirate was writing hard on the crystal plate at the moment, but the speed of the other side's reply was impressive. The exchange between the two sides fell into a fierce silence for a while, and only the rustling of the crystal pen across the crystal plate could be heard.

"Captain, the boss's mission is ahead of schedule?"

Until the first mate's voice sounded from the side of the elf pirate: "What happened, didn't the boss say that it is foolproof?"

"Now there is a loss - the boss has encountered a powerful person, and the hidden means have been discovered. We can only use our safe force method two. And now our target is vigilant, and it is difficult to deal with."

Putting down the crystal pen in his hand, the elf pirate frowned slightly: "We are going to raid the survey ship that the target is on in five days, and the boss has no reason to be there, so we only need to face a second-level high-level alchemist and a few The first energy level...it's okay, at least this time we don't need to divide our forces to pretend to deal with the boss, just bombard the sea with long-range artillery and surround the sea."

"Oh, by the way, he also asked us to add a must-kill list... A young, fourteen-fifteen-year-old Bai Zhimin, who can be recognized at a glance. I asked how handsome he was, and he said he was prettier than us elves. ."

"Haha." The first mate laughed: "That's really obvious, but our food is a bit rough compared to those gentlemen."

"It's not a noble, it's a commoner - does the boss have a grudge against young people? Why does he always have trouble with young people of this age?"

With a tsk, the pirate captain shook his head: "It's not a big problem, just let's go faster, and there is no boss to cover up the signal secretly, if we just raid the survey ship, that Viscount Grant may come with aether armed. ."

The dark green hair of the elf pirate swayed, and he raised his finger: "Fortunately, the sea shelters us."

Saying so, he raised his head and looked at the distant dark horizon.

There, there was a mighty sea of ​​clouds that vaguely gathered, and the dark green long-haired elf smiled and said, "We will continue to wait... wait for the survey ship to explore for a few days before shooting... Or in other words, wait for the storm."

"At that time, it was our home court."

At the same time, Ian frowned and boiled a pot of potion and put it into the mouth of Elan, who was having a high fever.
