Chapter 1676: Chapter 317: The First ‘Ian’ (Part 2)
“Ian’s talents are the most incredible I’ve ever seen, even His Majesty needs to rely on legacy to achieve those exaggerated feats. Weyges, nurture him… he will beco far stronger than you or I.”
“And what about ? Is there nothing you want to say to ?”
The old man was silent for a long ti, then slowly said, “I won’t say I’m sorry. Everything you’ve faced is exactly what my disciples should accept. Whether it’s death or suppression, these are the bitter fruits you deserve.”
“That’s enough.”
Despite such a response, the knight felt relieved: “You’ve never done anything wrong in the first place. You owe no apologies to anyone. The reason I survived… was primarily to hear this.”
“Because my teacher, the Empire’s First Knight, would absolutely never do anything wrong, even if the whole world slanders you, it’s the world that’s wrong!”
And finally.
Hiliard and Ian exchanged glances.
“I’m sorry, it seems I can’t be your teacher anymore.”
The old knight said sowhat apologetically: “I can’t even leave you anything of value, be it The Unyielding Fortress or anything else. Giving them to you would just make you the center of everyone’s attention.”
“I don’t care about that, you truly have taught knowledge.”
Ian calmly replied: “I don’t really understand those things—be it the Dark Moon turmoil, the Forr Emperor’s legacy, or the deepest conspiracies within the continent’s greatest empire… but I know very well that without you, I wouldn’t have had these opportunities at all.”
“So, teacher, is there anything you want to accomplish? To be honest, I think I can change this world.”
“I also…” At this mont, Yisen Gard also mustered the courage to speak: “I can also help…”
“Is that so.”
The old man stared blankly at the two youngsters before him, a certain indescribable illusory vision clouding his eyes, then he laughed: “Then…”
“Then, go and change this world.”
——Just like we did back in the day.
Light and shadow danced.
In the void, Ian and Yisen Gard, along with the Frozen Fish Tutor, watched this scene. Even the most thick-skinned Fae couldn’t speak at this mont, the red orca stared blankly at everything in front of it, and Yisen Gard was also sowhat dazed.
“Why give the Rites of the Star Gods?” he mumbled in confusion: “Isn’t this purely a waste?”
“I see…” Ian also mumbled: “So this is how it all began…”
Under the witness of Embrace Light, Hiliard Lesi departed from this world.
Yisen Gard chose to fake his death, staying in Harrison Port, while Weyges beca their window to the outside world, acquiring resources and information within the Empire for them.
Master Gossay was Hiliard’s most loyal supporter; even Ian, the inheritor of The Unyielding Fortress, he could trust unconditionally. But since the real fortress was right in front of him, he chose to hide everything, bearing the ‘wrath’ of the Ellen Family alone. Strangely enough, the Ellen Family did not take their anger out on Master Gossay for the death of the youngest family mber and a main mber. Instead, Lady Ellen and the Ellen Family split.
Ti flowed like this.
Leveraging the labyrinth Fae’s legacy obtained back then, Ian chose the Fairy Bloodline as his Bloodline True Form. He gradually gained Viscount Grant’s recognition during missions targeting the Natives and Fiery Fla Land, and eventually beca an Apprentice Patrol Knight under Marquis Barton’s recomndation.
Then, ca developnts strikingly similar to the ones deduced with the Forest Sea… the mutation of the Leyan Territory eventually engulfed the entire Dazzling Lake area. However, after killing Leyan’s son, Ian did not obtain the Qing Steel Dragon’s inheritance, seemingly missing essential conditions.
During this process, Yisen Gard also gained considerable knowledge from the Silver Chip; he repaired many facilities in the South Sea Great Labyrinth and even restored a small-scale machinery production line.
“Viscount Grant isn’t really that bad…”
“He really isn’t, even though he indirectly caused my father’s death. However, among nobles, he’s considered elite. My stable growth is evidence of that.”
“But precisely because he’s excellent, he cannot live. Otherwise, we’d be stuck at Harrison Port.”
“I understand…”
After gaining enough power to challenge Viscount Grant, Ian returned ho without hesitation and conspired with Yisen Gard to seize Harrison Port.
It was at this mont that Fiery Fla Land launched a full assault—South Ridge went into ergency lockdown, and Ian, as Inspector Knight, temporarily oversaw Harrison Port after the local lord was killed in a Fiery Fla Land raid.
This marked the beginning of a grand ambition.
Light and shadow flowed, ti sped up.
The Mountain People’s rebellion, Terra’s total war, and the Demon Legion’s invasion—all these events didn’t change. Ian appointed Yisen Gard as his substitute to manage Harrison Port while he ventured out to acquire resources for advancent.
They had heard of the anomalies in Canaan Moore and the City of Knowledge, but did not participate in them. They relied on pre-epoch civilization technology and Earth’s technology, farming at the world’s fringes, biding their ti for a teoric rise.
Then… ca an unbelievable piece of news.
Second Prince Michael advanced to the Fifth Energy Level, led the Western Territory Legion in rebellion, and was advancing straight towards the Imperial Capital.
“Ah?” “Ah?” [Ah?]
