Ian suddenly thought of a word.
Master Throne.
The Master Throne and the Fifth Energy Level are different.
The Master Throne signifies that this legacy can pass on its core sublimation organ to the next generation... Generally speaking, a legacy that can be called a Master Throne can at least inherit two core sublimation organs of the Fifth Energy Level.
But what Teacher Hiliard passed on to him back then was only the Ancient Dragon Heart Core... a severely damaged Ancient Dragon Heart Core sustained by the Silver Chip.
To this day, Ian has not fully repaired the Ancient Dragon Heart Core; even the Source of Dragon Blood has only reactivated it.
To truly repair it completely, it might require the Galewind Dragon King using the equipnt on Dragon Island for treatnt.
This is only one elent of the Master Throne.
So what is the other one?
Ian believes, if this Ancient Dragon Heart Core actually has so unknown peculiar function, or if it itself is an activation key that can activate another entity of imnse power...
And that existence is the real ’Master Throne’ elent of the Unyielding Fortress...
"Imperial Capital."
Squinting his eyes, Ian had an epiphany: "It’s the Imperial Capital."
"The Unyielding Fortress, that Ancient Dragon Heart Core is related to the Imperial Capital, or it can be said to be the core key of a major plan—back in the day, Inega II and Teacher created the Unyielding Fortress, nad after the Imperial Capital, for this plan."
"The Imperial Capital itself is one of the ’Master Throne’ elents of the ’Unyielding Fortress’!"
"Only when situated in the Imperial Capital, the Unyielding Fortress is truly the invincible legacy as ntioned by the teacher!"
"But now, Axel has other uses for the Imperial Capital—whether the Unyielding Fortress approaches the Imperial Capital or perishes, the disappearance or return of so unique keys of the Imperial Capital would lead to the failure of his plan, so he expelled the teacher and also Mahdi..."
In Ian’s mind, the root structure of biomass inside the sturdy walls of the Imperial Capital erged.
He lowered his gaze, a slight smile on his lips: "Interesting. Luckily I didn’t approach the Upper City District back then."
"If I’d approached the core of the Imperial Capital even slightly, the Ancient Dragon Heart Core in my body would have reacted and alerted Axel."
"No wonder my crisis was so intense at that ti, as I didn’t need to be noticed by anyone; just reaching the higher echelons of the Imperial Capital would have exposed !"
"And now, nothing happens because my current body is Fae, and the Ancient Dragon Heart Core is on Dragon Island."
"This is also Axel’s purpose, he can’t allow the Key to get close to the Imperial Capital, affecting his transformation or other plans for the Imperial Capital."
Upon realizing this, Ian instead felt a greater curiosity: "But, what exactly is Axel’s plan?"
"No, it should be phrased like this. What was Inega II and the teacher’s plan back then? And based on their plan, what does Axel intend to transform?"
Ian couldn’t possibly deduce this, even the Prophet couldn’t.
The young man shook his head slightly: "This probably needs to be investigated by Yisen Gard..."
In fact, aside from this, Axel’s intentions were also very peculiar.
For instance, having Ian exhaust his prestige, enhancing the miracle victory of the Empire didn’t actually cost Ian much.
Because Ian himself is the Southern Ridge Lord, and should Fiery Fla Land’s forces truly invade, as long as they’re not the main force, he’s confident he can rout them and beco part of the ’miracle’.
By that ti, it would be the ’Prophet’ who predicted defeat and then overca that prediction—a scenario not at all strange, rather everyone’s expectation of the Prophet is precisely this.
If it’s good, then the Prophet leads everyone to achieve it.
If it’s bad, then the Prophet leads everyone to avoid it.
The Guardian doesn’t mind this.
What Axel seems to do is incite public sentint, making everyone consider themselves part of the ’miracle’, creating a common sense of glory... As for who benefits the most, or who might suffer, he doesn’t care.
Is this approach and strategy related to the Imperial Capital and his plans regarding the Unyielding Fortress?
Ian doesn’t know for the ti being. But he currently has no reason to oppose.
Because Axel is exceedingly generous—Silver Peak Earl, this essentially ans the Empire has officially entrusted all the Mountain People to Ian, and the entire Bison Mountain Range is his territory.
And soon, when Viscount Grant advances to the Third Energy Level, the entire Great Redwood Forest Zone and the boy beco part of the Grant Marquisate; with him teaming up with Viscount Grant, it’s tantamount to a large part of Nanling Province.
Regarding Marquis Barton, he will be the nominal big brother of the South Ridge, and neither Ian nor Grant would oppose him.
But in reality, he definitely wouldn’t manage affairs.
In the future, Ian will rapidly beco the most powerful noble in Southern Ridge, almost without equal.
