Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 63: gift

"Okay."

Ian's ears moved slightly. He turned his head and looked at Hilliard's mysterious expression.

With doubts and expectations, he returned to his room, and then saw a pile of black on his bed.

A black shirt.

"This is"

Slightly surprised, Ian stepped forward, picked it up and looked at it: "Did it for me?"

This black shirt is not completely new, but is repaired from Ian's previous set of clothes that have been damaged a lot, adding a lot of materials that he can't see.

But to be honest, this so-called repair is not much different from making a new set. Basically, all the key parts, damaged parts and links are stitched with brand new leather.

Although it looks repaired, it is no different from the patched clothes worn by ordinary children, but the touch is very tough, and Ian feels that he can't pierce it with a knife.

But it is very light, as soft as cashmere.

"This is the material of the teacher's cloak?!"

Ian's memory is very good. Within a few seconds, he recalled where he had seen such a leather material. It was the black cloak that Mr. Hilliard was wearing when he first met Mr. Hilliard. After disguising as Oceana, I never saw the other party wear it again.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually cut it into materials and sewed clothes for himself

With a slight expression, Ian silently stared at the black shirt in his hand.

The shirt was a little too big, and it was even a bit baggy. It wasn't that Hilliard's workmanship was not good, but that when Ossenna gave him the clothes, he just cut them out of his own old clothes.

After modification, although it still doesn't fit so well, there is no problem with bundling and rolling it up. It can be seen that the repairer has really thought about it seriously.

"Teacher"

Whispering the word to himself, Ian smiled slightly: "It's really a surprise."

He was silent for a moment, letting go of all the emotions in his heart.

The boy turned around and came outside the courtyard. After thanking him sincerely, he said with a serious face that he would give full play to his cooking skills and make more delicious meals in return.

"Haha, I haven't eaten any delicious food, but I want to see how you make delicious food."

Hilliard laughed and shook his head slightly, but he didn't refuse. He just mentioned a few words: "For today, you should eat more yourself, and someone from the nobles or the white people will definitely come to you later. Good spirit."

"Just wait."

Hilliard's words come true, he really knows the empire very well.

In the afternoon, Ian put on new clothes, stewed a pot of beef porridge with the mountain beef jerky he got yesterday, and ate a big bowl with Hilliard.

And just when he was about to strike while the iron was hot, he practiced hard, strengthened his control over his power, and his grasp of the source quality.

Elder Pu De's guards came to the door.

These two guards came to invite Ian to the Viscount's mansion to visit Viscount Grant with Elder Pudd.

Elder Purdue's guards are mostly young people in their early twenties. In a sense, all the young people in the White People who are talented in military force have served as Elder Purdue's guards and received his support. give pointers.

Excellent ones will be recommended by the elders to the port guards or city defense forces of Port Harrison. Ian's father, Ernesto, took this path and became the captain of the guards.

Not so good, just like Brin, who became a herbal gatherer who licked blood with a knife and snatched food from the mouth of the aborigines. Most of the white people hunters also came from the same background.

As for the worse ones, they are not suitable for the profession of force at all, so just obediently become a fisherman, a farmer, or a coolie craftsman.

But this time, the two guards who came to invite Ian were male fighters in their thirties who were in the prime of life and at the peak of their personal condition.

They stood at the door, wearing strong horned deer leather armor, with firm expressions, looking at Ian with a hint of novelty in their eyes.

"Come with us, little Ian."

"At the beginning, your father and I were comrades-in-arms in the same group, and we took down several deep swamp wolf lairs together."

They are the true confidantes of Elder Purdue, so they naturally know Ian's identity as a psyker, so when they invited them, their tone was very gentle, and they looked at the boy with appreciation.

The status of the people of Bai in Harrison Port all depends on Elder Pude alone.

He is a sublimator, proficient in alchemy and craftsman skills of dwarves, and even mastered the art of inscription because of his noble career and blood in his early years.

Such a sublimator with multiple skills is enough to become a guest in the mansions of various nobles. In fact, Viscount Grant treated Elder Purdue like this, and the White People became an important part of Port Harrison. part, rather than the dispensable exiles before.

However, what should the people of Bai do if Elder Pude passes away?

Without a second sublime who is so versatile and has a good relationship with the local nobles, the people of Bai will certainly not be able to maintain their current power. For the people of Bai who have lost their value, the Viscount Mansion may not continue to support them.

Of course, it’s still too early to talk about this. Elder Pude has at least 20 to 30 years to live. With the current development speed of Bai Zhimin and Harrison Port, 20 to 30 years are enough for them to cultivate a sublimator .

It's just, how can the possibility of the future be compared to Ian, such a young psyker, who is actually right in front of their eyes?

He was almost protected by two guards and came to the Viscount's mansion. He was relieved. Ian, who broke free from the two sides, looked up and saw Elder Pude waiting for him at the gate. .

"It's sudden, but don't worry."

The elder with a lush beard is dressed quite formally today, and even the fluffy beard in the past has been tidied up very well.

He was dressed in a pure white robe with light red trim, took Ian's hand, and walked into the Viscount's mansion under the guidance of his attendants.

"Viscount Grant wants to see you, and in accordance with the usual practice, give you the corresponding qualifications to practice the true form of blood."

Elder Purdue’s voice was soft but quite clear: “This was originally a fairly formal procedure, but because of yesterday’s attack by the natives, everything has been simplified. Don’t be nervous. It’s essentially asking for your name. Just look at your face and register your name on the roster of sublimators in Port Harrison."

"Yeah."

Ian is naturally not nervous, but he still pretends to be quite restrained and careful.

They came to the door of the Viscount's study on the second floor, but they heard reprimands from inside the door.

"The outpost on the east bank was raided, but you said you didn't see the signal for help?"

The viscount's voice was low, obviously angry: "The entire sentry tower was burned to the ground, and the flames could be seen from five miles away. Then tell me, you didn't see the signal for help?"

The reprimand continued for a while. A dark-skinned red-haired man bowed his head expressionlessly and exited the study. pupil.

"Unfortunately."

After saying hello to Elder Purdue, the fairly decent-looking red-haired man returned to silence and was led away by the maid.

"Lubeck, the mercenary leader."

Elder Pude seems to be whispering to himself: "He is a mountain dweller in the north of Nanling. The tribe only swore allegiance to the empire 20 years ago. He is considered half aboriginal. More than ten years ago, his child was killed by Sequoia. The natives on the side were captured as sacrifices, and they have stayed in Port Harrison for fifteen years to take revenge.”

"Strange." At this point, Elder Purdue frowned: "How could Lubeck make such a low-level mistake? He is a good player, and Harrison Port is no more than five fingers better than him. "

Ian, however, keenly noticed that the opponent's expression and the leather armor on his body showed traces of battle. The opponent must have fought last night, and he was definitely not avoiding battle to fish for fish.

The mercenary leader concealed his actions last night.

He could tell that the Viscount and Elder Purdue were naturally not blind, and it was no wonder that Viscount Grant was so angry, because the other party was unwilling to be serious about lying, which was too perfunctory.

It may also be that Lübeck has a simpler mind, but the result is the same.

This is not a big deal. Soon, Ian entered the study room under the leadership of Elder Pud after the calm Viscount Grant summoned him.
