High Above Chapter 621

  Chapter 621 The blue star guiding the way forward (Second update, 5600)

  When Ian and Isengard came home, they were keenly aware that there were people in the room, and it was very lively.

   In addition to Ian, there are two goblins, Shuangdie and Miss Huaan, who live in Isengarde's residence. Occasionally, Mo Feng will come to visit.

   But with the movement of the three of them, it is absolutely impossible to make it so big that the whole room is brightly lit.

  However, after the two came to the door, the movement in the house suddenly became quieter, and even the lights were dimmed.

  Ian and Yisen looked at each other, and Yisen whispered: "I don't know... I haven't been home much recently, so I don't know."

   "It can't be that a group of goblins are planning to assassinate us, right?"

  Ian complained, he shook his head and walked forward, opened the door: "Look what's going on... ouch?!"

  Just as the white-haired boy opened the door, he was hit on the chest by a small icy thing, so he was not injured. If he was really injured, he might have to recover.

   But considering this point, he still let out an 'Aiyo', then took a few steps back, hugging the little thing in his arms: "Frost Butterfly?"

   "Father—"

  Frost Butterfly's voice sounded. She obviously had no idea that Ian was injured at all, that's why she flew over like this... But it's not a big problem, anyway, fairies are like this, no one would think it's a big deal.

  Ian raised his head, looked into the room, and found that behind Frost Butterfly, a goblin with more than a dozen different wings in various colors was poking his head out of the hall curiously, looking at Ian and Isengard.

   "This..." Yi Sen was obviously stunned, he didn't know that since he hadn't been home for a few days, how could his house be divided into a fairy town and an emperor's capital?

   "Ian—"

And Hua Anye and Mo Feng were naturally among this group of fairies. The two fairies flew out and circled around Ian several times, observing the boy's situation from all angles. After confirming that Ian's aura was normal, they couldn't help cheering. Get up: "Yeah! You're done!"

   "Good!" All the goblins behind cheered in harmony.

   After Ian and Hua An finished greeting Mo Feng, he and Yi Sen figured out that it was because of the spirits of the fairies in the Avak laboratory.

If Ian hadn't found a part of the fairy soul in the Azure City laboratory, and told the corresponding fairy breath to the Huaiguang rescue team, even the Huaiguang rescue team would have no way to get another part of the fairy soul from the central laboratory— This is part of the truth that Huijian announced to the outside world.

  He really didn't lie, if it wasn't for the information provided by Ian, they really wouldn't be able to find the Pillar of Binding Soul.

   There are many goblins who have been victimized, and there are naturally many relatives and friends. Recently, Fallen Star City has been putting pressure on Flameland and the Empire to hand over the murderer and mastermind of Avak Laboratory.

  Although it is said that the real masterminds are basically all dead, and Grand Duke Sorin has not been seen recently, but don't expect to pay no price at all.

  A goblin instructor came to the imperial capital to negotiate with the imperial capital in person, and the upper echelons of the empire had to face up to the problem—even the Gnosis Academy couldn't keep people, a chief director stepped down, many leaders dismissed get out of class, and compensation was being negotiated.

   It is also during this period of time that the precision of the goblins in the imperial capital has increased astonishingly by more than ten times, and these goblins all regard Ian as one of the benefactors who rescued their friends.

  Benefactor, naturally we should thank you.

The door of Isengard's house was closed, and the lights were turned on again. A number of fairies with names ranging from high art to easy-to-understand goblins flew up one by one, introducing themselves to Ian and the owner of the house, Isengard—from mirage to rime , from baked stone to mudstone, it was like giving Ian a class in appreciating the names of goblins.

The goblins have prepared all kinds of delicacies unique to goblins here, from the fire dragon soup that Ian has tasted, to the ice wine that Ian has never tasted, and all kinds of desserts and cakes, just waiting for Ian Su to wake up. banquet.

   As for why they know...

  Hua An asked Master Gesai about it.

  Ian seldom participated in this kind of celebratory banquet. He participated in the Harvest Festival in Port Harrison a few times, but it was just that everyone gathered together to eat and drink. It would be quite rich to have some ale, fish and roast chicken.

As for the banquet prepared by the goblins, there are indeed some things that are difficult for humans to understand, such as a piece of white baked salt... It is said that this is a piece of rock salt with very high purity, which is also rich in iron, a kind of The sublimation minerals that heat up and cool down depending on the mood can be used as alchemy materials, but they are a kind of delicacy that the earth attribute goblins especially like.

  It is said that when they taste baked salt stones, they can rarely experience a certain "taste" and "deliciousness" like humans. From their description, it seems to be a delicious popping candy.

   In this regard, Ian can only admit that he is not very elf. He took a sip under the expectant eyes of the elf who prepared this dish, and he felt that it was only 'salty'.

   Not enough, but the sublimation organs in his body don't think so - the pure earth-type source quality contained in it can strengthen endurance and physique in a short time, and the effect of earth-type sublimation is better, and it is best for patients.

  If Ian is really hurt, he should like this dish very much.

   "Very delicious, very delicious!"

  Ian ate this baked salt stone with tears in his eyes—I acted, and I will act to the end!

Ethan secretly laughed at Ian, but who knew, after hearing Ian's praise, the earth goblin happily brought out another copy from the back kitchen and placed it in front of the blond boy—this is a thank you to the owner of the house —Isengard's complexion changed slightly immediately, but the good education, as well as the gazes of Ian and the goblins, still made him eat this portion with tears in his eyes.

   "Very delicious, very delicious!"

The goblin's banquet was very happy. Even Ian and Esen, who had been attacked by a huge amount of salt, felt very happy. This relaxed atmosphere has a great effect on restoring the mood, especially for the two minds. For many people, it can boost the spirit and increase the sanity value.

   It was late at night soon, and all the elves left one by one. Before leaving, they even packed up all the dishes in the house, not only washing the dishes, but also cleaning.

   "I thought elves were messy guys, but I didn't expect to help the master clean up... This is too polite!" This is Ian's emotion.

   No wonder fairies like to hold banquets. If every guest has this kind of self-awareness, Ian also wants to hold banquets every day.

   "Mo Feng will return to Fairy Township tomorrow."

There were only two people and two goblins left in the room. Hua An held Shuangdie floating in the air and said, explaining why Mo Feng didn't stay: "Those victimized goblins are very important. For an official apology to be admitted, the victim's testimony is necessary... Having said that, this matter may have some impact on you, Ian.”

   "After all, it was you who cooperated with the Huaiguang Rescue Team to rescue them. Will the empire persecute you because of this?"

   When talking about this, Hua An looked quite worried.

"How is it possible." Ian said with a smile: "Most of the Institute of the Intellect sees me as unhappy, but the Institute of the Intellect is just a hill in the empire. There may not be such an idea in the Institute of the Intellectual."

"That's good."

Hua An let out a long breath, and Shuangdie followed suit, and the air suddenly became a little cooler: "By the way, Ian, my senior said she wanted to see you! She has something to attend. I didn't have time to attend the banquet for the negotiation on the empire's side, but it should be coming soon.”

   "Your senior?" Ian was startled, and he quickly realized: "The... goblin mentor?"

   "Yeah." Hua An nodded slightly. Obviously, it was Hua An's teacher who was sent by Fairy Township to the capital to negotiate with the empire, a fourth-level fairy mentor.

   "That..."

  Ian recalled the other party's name: "Gan Song·Frozen Fish..."

  As soon as these words came out, whether it was Ian, Isengard, or Hua An and Shuangdie, they all felt a clear and dry breath.

   It's like climbing a high mountain for half a day, when a cool breeze suddenly greeted halfway up, gently caressing my heart.

  —No way, just say the name?

  Ian turned his head and looked towards the door. He glanced at Yi Sen, and after seeing the other party nodding, the white-haired boy got up and went to open the door.

Sure enough, there was a fairy floating quietly in mid-air at the door, with white hair and green eyes, and a beautiful appearance. She was smiling and dressed very plainly. Apart from a slightly old research robe, she only had a blue crown on her neck. gemstone pendant.

   "Hello, Mr. Ian, I am Gan Song Dongyu. During the recent period, Hua An and the others have been taken care of."

  When Ian heard the voice of the goblin mentor, he felt like spring rain dripping down on the lake, or like a summer breeze blowing through the leaves.

  At this moment, the boy suddenly understood why fairies claimed to be a 'beautiful' race.

  It really lives up to its name.

"Hello, Ms. Gan Song..." Facing the fourth energy level, one of the highest officials in Letu Township, Ian naturally did not dare to neglect. He invited the white-haired goblin lady into the room, but the other party shook his head slightly Rejection: "No, no, there are still many things to be busy."

   "I came here this time mainly because I have something to tell you."

Instructor Gan Song narrowed her eyes, her green jewel-like eyes flashed with faint fluorescence, she glanced at Hua An and Shuang Die who were flying out, and Isengard who was following behind, and smiled at these people. , and continued to look at Ian: "I visited you once when you were injured and unconscious."

When she said this, the surrounding vegetation and the wind echoed slightly, bringing a fresh breath: "At that time, I felt that your injury was not serious... but there was a very strong, but not much malice. Death resides in you. That may be the source of your real coma."

   "I didn't quite understand it at the beginning. Later, when I learned the whole picture of the incident in Avakland, I had a guess—you might have been infiltrated by the many dead souls residing there. Their despair and hatred led to the fall of the void."

   "And you, because of the characteristics of the goblin, it is easy to resonate with the surrounding environment."

  —Is this a glimpse of the dead king? No, it should be exactly as she said, but the dead king aggravated this breath.

  Ian's heart tensed slightly, but he wasn't too nervous.

   It's just that the young man reassures himself that he still has to go back to Nanling.

  There are too many masters in the imperial capital, and they can all see a little flaw.

   "I'm here to help you solve this sequelae."

  Instructor Gan Song smiled at Ian, and then, a gentle wave of spiritual energy overflowed, and slowly approached Ian: "If you want, I can help you."

  Ian was instinctively on guard for the first time, but after thinking about something, he took the initiative to touch Gan Song's spiritual power.

   A breeze blows.

  In an instant, he seemed to be on the top of a high mountain, with boundless white clouds under his feet.

  The young man stands alone in the middle of the vast world. There is a whistling wind blowing from top to bottom, making the sky shake, and there are earth sounds that shake the mountains as if they came from the center of the earth.

   And at the top of this boundless and lonely mountain, which is accompanied by heaven and earth, there is a small nard pine rooted in the cracks of the rock, fluttering in the wind.

Ian saw this little nard pine, and he suddenly felt a sense of tranquility from his heart, as if only himself was left in the whole world, all the external objects that did not belong to him, and all other things that were independent of himself Those who were all gone with the wind, never to be seen again.

  Ian's spirit and soul kept falling, falling... until he was on the verge of a void, until he was in a hazy hallucination.

  He fell into a dream.

   This dream is only for a moment, like raindrops hanging in the wind, like dust floating in the valley.

  Ian dreamed, dreamed of the heavy rain in Harrison Port all day long, dreamed of a mighty storm, dreamed of a tired and weak woman stroking his head, and then closing his eyes forever. He dreamed that the old knight was chopping firewood in the backyard, teaching himself the most precious knowledge in this world, and a vast picture scroll slowly unfolded under the knight's narration.

  He dreamed of a sword. A black and solid iron sword that is as immovable as a mountain. He never loved swords, he never liked fighting, but the world made him have to raise his sword before he could talk about anything else.

  Since this is the case, then swing your sword and cut off the shackles of this world.

  Ian felt that his self was being stretched infinitely, and his anxious and worried heart had found some peace.

  He dreamed of those fragments that happened in the past and have passed away, the dark moon turmoil that buried the sun of an era, the imperial capital shook, and the lonely mountain fell. He dreamed that the sky fell into the world, the new moon crumbled, and that the meteor shower all over the sky drew scorching fire marks on the top of the sky. A doll and a hand were buried in the ruins of the city, telling a beautiful story. The passing of the era.

   Such a thing may happen a second time, or a third time, until all sentient beings are completely destroyed, and there is no hope and future at all.

  Ian's mind gradually became clear and peaceful. He finally understood that those were the traces on his mind given to him by others, mother and teacher, battle and anxiety, whether it was the turmoil of the dark moon or the disaster from the sky.

  He dreamed about those things that might happen in the future. The swarm of insects neighed above the sky, churned in the center of the earth, hot blood flowed through the teeth, but could not satisfy the desire deep in the heart; , but there are still endless regrets in my heart.

   These are dreams. He didn't want them to turn into real dreams. He is thinking about a future, a future where he can pursue distant places with peace of mind and look up at the stars above his head.

  Ian slowly opened his eyes.

  For a while, he didn't see anything, but it seemed that everything about him was right in front of his eyes. The throbbing of the battle that happened in the central laboratory of Avak and the deepest part of the subspace labyrinth reappeared.

  He saw a star.

  A pale blue star.

  Guide the light that leads to the distance, the star that hangs high in the sky forever.

  A sense of enlightenment emerged in his heart, as if the dust in his heart was wiped away, and the mirror was bright and clear again, like a glass of clear water when he was thirsty, making his body finally peaceful.

   But Ian backs away abruptly.

  He broke free from this illusion.

  A gust of cool wind blew up, kicking up dust and fallen leaves on the street. Ian and Gan Song's mentor's clothes flapped, and Ian, with clear eyes, looked at the calm and indifferent fairy again.

   "You have a big, big obsession..."

  Gan Song sensed that his psychic energy had been broken free, but he was not surprised. The goblin mentor flew around Ian and said thoughtfully, "Sure enough."

She said firmly: "You already have a mind light body—but you are resisting. Contrary to what I thought, it is not the resentment of the dead that prevents you from understanding your own mind light body. You understand it better than anyone else, so you don't willing."

   "Why is this? You are more genius than everyone imagined, but you are still not satisfied?"

  Ian was silent for a while, and he first bowed deeply to Tutor Gan Song: "Thank you very much for your guidance and help... If I hadn't resisted, I'm afraid my heart light body would have emerged."

"Um."

  The white-haired goblin hummed lightly, neither surprised nor surprised. Obviously, her psychic power can guide other people's mind-light bodies to present themselves, and she really deserves the name of a goblin teacher.

At this moment, Gan Song looked at Ian with a smile, with curiosity in his eyes: "You will actually resist your own heart-only the wisest sages and the stupidest fools will do this. The former is greedily longing for something. and a better future, the latter is ignorance that doesn't even recognize itself."

   "You are obviously not the latter. So I was wondering what kind of dream you are longing for."

  "...The blue star that guides the way forward, this is indeed the desire in my heart."

   Saying this, Ian closed his eyes, and he opened them again, his eyes were as deep as a deep spring: "But the meaning of the starry sky is countless stars. The galaxy I yearn for should definitely not have only one star."

   "There shouldn't be only one Canglan Star. Everyone should have one."

   "That's it. There's just such a gap between what I have and what I want."

   "It seems that you don't need my help. You want to carry everything on your back, even the beliefs left to you by others. Then go ahead, it was a pleasant meeting."

  Gan Song sighed lightly. This goblin mentor is quite free and easy, with wings spinning like crystal plates behind his back. She turned around, waved with Hua An behind her back, and was about to leave: "Hua An, I have already seen Frost Butterfly. It seems that there is indeed a large and well-developed goblin gathering place in the South China Sea Great Maze."

   "This is a good opportunity for our department to expand our manpower, don't fall behind."

   At this time, the communication between her and Ian can be heard by others.

  Before this, all sounds and wind flow were restrained, and it was not free until this moment.

   "Mentor—"

Hua stared blankly at the back of Gan Song who had disappeared, and the eyes of the black-haired goblin lady gradually widened, and her voice trembled: "But what about the funds?! Didn't you say that you will give me new funds after seeing the frost butterfly?" !"

   "Teacher, don't leave! There is not enough money to summon the team to explore the maze!"

  The calm and free-spirited goblin has already left.

   Obviously, Gan Song is a good mentor.

  But as Hua An has complained many times in the past.

  She has no funds.

   “…what are you going to do next?”

  Isengarde walked forward slowly at this moment, and he felt that Ian at this moment seemed to be a little different from before—the white-haired boy had clear goals and plans as always, but now, he seemed to finally let go of something on his mind.

  So, he didn't ask what the two sides talked about, Ethan just asked what they were going to do next.

   "I won't sleep today."

Ian calmly gazed at the end of the night street, the dark road leading to the invisible depths: "I once talked to a guy whose morals need to be lowered, saying that he can't rest... Now it seems that I am the same. "

   "The goblin's banquet is over, I am very happy, and I should continue to work to prepare armor drawings and tools."

  He turned his head sideways, looked at his friend, and invited with a smile: "Want to be together?"

  Isengard was a little dazed at first, but later, he also laughed: "Of course."

   Thanks to RenLin for the reward!
