High Above Chapter 625

  Chapter 625 Above the Lonely Mountain (Second update, 5400)

  In the imperial capital, if you don't get the limelight, you don't invest, you don't have connections, and life is even worse than in a small place, because there is never a shortage of talents, and if you can't keep the heat, you will soon pass away.

   But for Ian, he can't be too famous, once he is too famous, he will be noticed by the high-level empire.

   "Got to run."

  Ian made up his mind: "The sooner the better!"

  After making up his mind to run, Ian did not immediately leave the imperial capital nervously, but conceived several plans and made predictions one by one.

First.

  —I put on the Cyclops armor, and left immediately without stopping.

  Shuangdie and Hua An have not changed, they are still black and red like death.

   "It seems that they are already watching me. My hasty departure will definitely arouse suspicion." Ian is not surprised. Although his other identities are constantly being seen through, the core secret has been well protected.

   This is all due to the fact that Ian is not suspicious, his identity is innocent, and occasionally there are doubts, the identity that the Ciehalorvo family hopes can also be concealed.

   But this is dancing on a tightrope. Once you become suspicious and investigate carefully, flaws will appear in Ian's resume, and if the flaws continue to expand, it is very likely that all his secrets will be revealed.

  So you can't run away right away... You need to dispel suspicion, find an excuse, or let people who care about you no longer pay attention to you.

  Eldest Empress Alegria is very interested in designing the armor herself. This is the cause of concern, but she must not participate in the design call.

   Then, the second type.

  —Give the design of the Cyclops to Isengard, and let him participate in the design in the name of the Eren family.

   Just to repay Isengard for his help all the time.

   Can this dispel suspicion and make it less abrupt for him to leave the imperial capital?

  Black and red have not changed.

  But Ian keenly noticed that the black mist on Hua An's body flickered for a moment, which meant that although the same death was inevitable, the time and place had changed for the reason for the inevitable death.

   Very good, it works.

  He patiently continued to try to think about the next possibility, and asked Isengard for other information: "Which other big figures from the imperial capital will come?"

Isengard didn't know why Ian cared so much about these matters, but when the other party wanted to know, he was very happy to answer: "Don't talk about those royal family members, the two marquises and two earls of the Northland, my father is the leading one. .”

   "The five earls from the western border have come a long time ago. I watched their expressions change all day today."

"There is nothing to say about the group of people dominated by the Aishard family of the Grand Duke of the East. They are not like the Sorin family that was suppressed by the late emperor very early, so they avoided His Majesty's iron and blood cleansing. This generation of the Grand Duke of the East is our Your Majesty's most loyal supporter."

"There is also the special envoy of Governor Bai Ji in the Ice Wind Autonomous Region... He is the king of the Ice Wind Butterfly. He will not leave his lair unless it is a crucial event. His special envoy is one of his best sons. There are three Ice Wind Lords."

   "It is said that the Marquis of Barton from Nanling will also come. The three governors from Inner Sea and Wusha have all come, and at least the deputy head of the Twelve Knights has come, and there are many things on the Fort Junling."

   "These are probably the big people who are qualified, but there are actually quite a few people...but I can't remember the names."

Isengard was a little sorry, but Ian sketched a picture in his mind: "Because the transportation in this world is very convenient, the big people really want to come and go so soon... so many forces and so many mountains gathered together, if it wasn't for Ak Searle is the fifth energy level, with absolute violent support, no emperor can suppress it."

"And this is just nobles. There are still many forces in the imperial capital, such as the Ministry of Truth of the Gnosis Academy, the Patrol Knights and Jinghaiwei... It is simply a political quagmire. People who are not qualified go in and melt away without a sound. There is no way.”

   "Axel must have something big to announce. Not only the war with Flameland, but even the instigation of Flameland fortresses are not qualified."

   "I think about it, what's the special news recently... The shorter the better, the shorter the matter, the bigger it is."

  In a few seconds, Ian retrieved the corresponding information from the memory bank.

  —The special envoy of the Canaan Moore Federation came to the imperial capital.

  Yes, this is it!

   As we all know, the shorter the word, the bigger the matter.

  A country's special envoy came to a country's imperial capital, and all the news is just this line. The things behind it must be big!

  Since this is the case, the eldest princess's attention to herself cannot be regarded as the first priority. As long as there are enough normal reasons, she will definitely not keep thinking about 'why Ian left the imperial capital'…

  As long as there is a reason that is still in the past, no one will really care about his doubts.

   "Ethan."

Ian opened his mouth, he thought carefully, and said in a slow tone: "When I was researching the ultimate potion some time ago, I actually restored the home of our Ciehalorvo family in the form of the 'Silver Peak Messenger' potion. gone."

  As soon as he said this, he immediately noticed that the black and red mist on Hua An and Shuangdie's bodies began to change—although it was still chaotic, it was infinitely better than the doomed death before.

very good.

Ian took advantage of the situation to pursue, and he continued: "As you know, I already have a territory in Nanling... Now the situation is turbulent, and Nanling is also quite chaotic. I have to go back and check the situation, stabilize my territory, and then Make plans for what's next."

"In the final analysis, there are too many important people in the imperial capital, and there are many things I can't do well—just like you don't want to go back to the Northland and want to avoid your father, I feel the same when I stay in the imperial capital. It's nothing more than continuing to do some research and get some rewards.”

   "So what if I get a lot of money? It won't make my family revive and my territory prosper."

   "It's even more so now, the imperial capital has gathered so many high-level powerhouses... I'd better leave as soon as possible instead of getting involved or watching from the sidelines."

   "Now that the Cyclops has been roughly completed, coupled with my strength at the second level, it is enough to create a world in Nanling."

  Ian said so, he didn't lie, it was indeed part of his true thoughts.

  He just planned to return to Nanling after a while, but it should be a month later, after he finished all the experiments in the imperial capital laboratory before leaving.

   But Ian is also ready to leave at any time.

   "Is that so?"

Although Isengarde showed a reluctant expression, he had long understood that he had seen all the abnormalities of Ian in the recent period, and of course he was not surprised that the other party wanted to leave: "But it's okay to participate in the design competition Bar…"

  Ian lowered his eyes, and he said seriously: "Let's submit it. The Cyclops was originally developed by our joint efforts."

   "You take it, I take it, it's all the same."

   It is impossible for Isengarde to refuse Ian's proposal, because the white-haired boy's will is so firm, he just wants to go back to Nanling wholeheartedly.

  So he could only nod: "Well, it's a pity, but it's not a big problem."

   "But before leaving, you should also prepare some supplies and information about Nanling?"

   This is indeed a very good proposal.

  It is impossible for Ian to leave that night, that would be a bit too weird—it would be just right to leave in a few days, and if you endure these two days, you will not leave any suspicion.

   "I'll collect it."

  Seeing that the mist on Hua An and Shuang Die's bodies was fading away, to the point where it became almost non-existent, Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

  He smiled and said to his friend: "I also have to ask you to help me prepare some supplies, otherwise, with my channel, there is definitely no way to build a convoy of supplies so quickly."

   "Of course. I will help you organize a group of people, including artisans and craftsmen." Isengard couldn't help laughing, and then sighed: "I just don't know when the next meeting will be."

   "I don't think it will be too long."

  Ian raised his eyebrows and said: "You don't necessarily have to go back to the imperial capital directly when you come back from the Icewind Fortress. Isn't it good to come to my territory to have a look?"

   "Yes." The blond boy also laughed.

   "Miss fairies!"

After chatting with Yisenjiade about the upcoming regulations, Ian turned around and said to Hua An Shuang Die: "We will return to Nanling in a few days! Shuang Die, will you accompany me to the territory, or return to you with Hua An to see the birthplace of

   "Going to Nanling? Just right, I also think that after Mo Feng left, the emperor will be a little bored!"

  Hua An was using his parasol staff to hold a walnut to play with the ball. After hearing this, he immediately tapped the walnut happily, and it turned into a cloud of "Yeah" subtitle dust in mid-air.

   And Shuang Die was cheering and clapping: "Senior Hua An is amazing!"

  The fog on the two goblins has completely returned to normal. After Ian's combination of 'family revival and territory preparation', no matter who he is, he will feel that he has a reason to return to Nanling. It would be more strange not to return to Nanling.

   As for returning to Nanling, Shuangdie didn't feel much.

  Although Shuangdie's hometown is the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, the place with the most real memories is still in the imperial capital, but because the time is relatively short and the imperial capital is also very large, the memory is not too deep.

  As long as you follow familiar people, then any place is a good place for Frost Butterfly.

   "Then you can accompany Hua An to my hometown to see the situation."

Seeing this, Ian felt that he had no choice. Anyway, after he settled the preliminary matters of the territory, he had to go back to Port Harrison—his identity as the master of the maze, as well as Shasha, Qingchao and Scott. Ready to pull over.

  Since this is the case, it is better to let Shuangdie continue to study with the real fairy for a while... Although I don't know what I can learn, it is better than being my own pendant.

   After all, with Shuangdie's strength, it is unrealistic to want to provide herself with prophecies about small things.

   After everything was settled and this huge crisis was completely wiped out, Ian, feeling tired, went to sleep.

  Although the second energy level does not require sleep at all, it is better to recover from the consumption of the foreseeable horizon by sleeping a little longer.

   One night passed.

   Another night passed.

   Soon, it was time for Ian to leave the imperial capital.

at the same time.

   Terra 773, October 8.

  The Setar Empire, the upper city of the imperial capital.

From the middle half of Gushan, there is the upper city in the popular sense. All the sublimators of the third level and above in the imperial capital have their residences here. Uptown has its own family home.

  A high-level sublimator rarely goes to the Midtown and Lower Town except for work. Because if they show their power naturally and walk on the earth in an unrestrained form, they will bring great changes and destruction to the surroundings.

  Only in the upper city, with the suppression of the force field of the imperial capital, can they live more comfortably.

  In addition, Mikael Setar, the second prince of the empire, knew a more secret news.

  That is, all the high-energy sublimators of the Imperial Capital, at critical moments, are the batteries of the Imperial Capital's force field generator... and the drivers of some structures.

Unlike everyone's imagination, the imperial capital is not a dead thing, it is not just a simple giant building of pre-epoch civilization, but after the pre-epoch civilization absorbs the spark spacecraft of alien civilization, it imitates its high-tech 'biological planet' A giant biological fortress created by the Shield Generator'.

   Or… living sanctuary.

  Emperor is alive. It is an elder who has survived the catastrophe of falling from the sky and still exists after thousands of years of wind and frost. It has extremely powerful power even in the fifth energy level, and has witnessed many storms and wars in this land.

  The only thing that can be compared with it is the World Tree of the Canaan Moore Federation.

   It is also interesting to say that the world tree of the group of elves is not a living thing...but it cannot be said that he is not alive.

  The imperial capital is just the opposite. It is a living creature, but it has no self-will.

  So, if in a critical moment, if you want the imperial capital to exert its maximum power, someone needs to control it and exert its true power.

  Many nobles and sublimators living in the imperial capital, after proving their loyalty, will gain the authority to manipulate part of the imperial capital structure, respond to enemy attacks when necessary, or resist the destruction of natural disasters.

  But apart from the fifth energy level, who can control a fifth energy level physical body?

Even at the fifth energy level, if one does not have a strong enough body, a strong enough will, and an extraordinary source of endurance, who can perfectly control the imperial capital, the city of this 10,000-meter-high lonely mountain, Unleash its incredible power?

  So...there is that inheritance.

  【Immovable Fortified City】

  Gathering the resources of the entire empire, deduced and designed the highest level true form... an inheritance in the name of the imperial capital.

   It's just that it hasn't been fully perfected in the future, and most of the information was lost in the Dark Moon turmoil.

  And without the cooperation of an ascensionist with the potential of the fifth energy level to carry out the experiment, it would be almost impossible to reproduce the Immovable Fortified City.

   Mikhail was fortunate enough to meet the first knight when he was young. The mere existence of that calm and reliable knight makes one feel extremely at ease, as if all the dangers and dangers in this world are no longer obstacles.

  When he stood beside his grandfather, the coercion of the two powerhouses of the fifth energy level was like the sky and the earth, occupying the entire world.

  Perhaps, only such a man can completely complete the inheritance of Fudo Fortified City and be able to control the mighty power of the imperial capital.

   "There are always things from the past that come to mind."

Laughing, Mikael shook his head slightly as he walked on the streets of the upper city, surrounded by newly renovated buildings after the Dark Moon turmoil and many majestic palaces and mansions: "The current imperial capital can't be like it used to be. , giving people an indestructible sense of security.”

   "Otherwise, that little fellow Ian wouldn't have left in such a hurry."

  Ever since I learned the news that Ian was going to leave the imperial capital and return to Nanling the day before yesterday, the second prince, who has been quite high-spirited recently, can't help feeling a little bit emotional.

  As the revivalist of the Ciehalorvo family and one of the inheritors of his grandfather's inheritance, Ian has always been his attention, and the other party has never disappointed him, and he can give people great surprises every time.

Whether it is the repeated use of alchemy technology at the beginning, or the ultimate potion later, it is a pioneering skill that can be titled a master as long as you continue to deepen it... He is undoubtedly the future master of alchemy, or even a grandmaster, and he has always believed that Ian's clumsy Mikhail dares to swear that this seemingly humble and polite, gentle and smiling Bai Zhimin boy is actually a guy with deep scheming and deep city.

  He has definitely hidden more than one hand, and will never reveal it until the critical period.

Just like this time - he was affected by the aftermath of King Tianhong, in order to save his life, he was forced to advance to the second energy level... What are you kidding, I really thought he couldn't see that this kid had advanced to the first energy level four or five years ago year? That kind of reaction speed and proficiency in manipulating the source quality cannot be explained by a genius at all.

  With Ian's talent, as long as he is prepared, he can try to break through the second energy level at any time.

  But in order not to attract attention, he has to wait until he has to.

  The same is true for the talent in armor design. After seeing the Cyclops design composition submitted by Isengard yesterday, Mikael understood that Ian really has a lot of things hidden.

Although the main core technology is still the cheap light element potion and the alchemy that combines part of the Ellen family's clothing design, how can it be impossible to see that Ian is almost as good as a machine with Mikhail's talent? Naturally familiar? Not everyone can piece it together casually, use a few old-fashioned armors to assemble a new airframe that can walk smoothly, fly stably, and have no mistakes in any weapon systems!

  So he didn't want to stay in the imperial capital.

  Stay in this place that is too easy to attract attention.

   "If it's not necessary, I don't want to stand here... standing on the top of the mountain."

  Thinking so, Mikhail strode towards the largest building complex in the upper city.

  The palace of the royal family of the Setar Empire.

The rebuilt palace is no different from before the Dark Moon turmoil. It is still so majestic and majestic. The tower of the lonely mountain on one side stands tall here. It is like a hand reaching out to the boundless sky. Hold it in the palm of your hand.

As soon as he entered the palace, Mikhail saw his old friend, Earl Wisner of the Eastern Realm, following behind the Grand Duke of the Eastern Realm Asuka Aishard, holding a stack of documents in his hand, with a serious expression on his face. Talking to the very young Grand Duke who was less than twenty years old.

   Probably telling the young grand duke what to do when he sees his father and queen. They used the Silence Circle. Although it is meaningless to Mikael, it is also a virtue of self-discipline not to know something.

Moreover, etiquette is meaningless. The strong people on Terra always don't care about rigid etiquette. It is something that only mortals who can't see through people's hearts will care about—after all, the emperor of an empire can easily see his subjects. Who cares about those insignificant things when you are true to yourself, and you can even listen to the insects thousands of miles away with great power?

  As long as there is respect from the heart and the most basic etiquette, there will be no problem. However, with the solemn and cautious expression on the face of the Grand Duke of Edom, Mikael thinks there is no problem.

  Count Wiesner's eyes lit up when he saw Mikael, and Grand Duke Aishard also turned around. The two sides nodded to each other, and then the Grand Duke and his party stepped into the side hall.

   Mikael stared at each other, the big meeting will take some time, they must still be preparing.

  But he is different... No matter what the relationship is, he is the prince, and the palace is his home.

  So he went straight to the deepest part of the palace to meet his father.

  That... His Majesty the Emperor.
