201: Chapter 190: The Conspiracy of Fiery Fla Land (4/4) 201: Chapter 190: The Conspiracy of Fiery Fla Land (4/4) “What did you say?” “Explain in detail.”
Elder Prude who knew Ian was a Prophet revealed a look of astonishnt; he had not expected Ian to have such a detailed premonition…
Although not explicitly stated, it’s difficult for ordinary Spirit Energy Users with perception abilities to have such specific and keen insight.
Viscount Grant, however, did not show any hesitation or doubt.
He lowered his gaze, seemingly thinking of sothing, and then directly asked Ian to explain.
“I sensed a danger from Yisen Gard like the prick of a needle, not originating from him, but from sothing much greater.
These are all I can feel, just as one wouldn’t want to embark on a ship about to encounter a storm and capsize, my premonition tells to keep my distance from him.”
Ian, however, was not as sensitive as Elder Prude.
Had he been pretending to be a Prophet, he might have shied away from discussing premonitions, as it could expose the fact that they did not truly have the ability to foresee the future.
But a true Prophet would not be stingy with displaying their keen perception, for they understand all too well the vast difference between their true abilities and re hunches.
All they need to do is ntion the ordinary premonitions, and that alone would suffice, and no one would suspect whether they are really a Prophet.
Just like now, Viscount Grant did not harbor any doubts.
The premonitions of Humans are indeed a strange thing.
So people might suddenly feel anxious and uneasy before embarking on a journey and cancel their sea voyage, only for that ship to indeed encounter Magical Beasts or a mariti disaster and disappear.
Such events are indeed common in coastal regions, and the main characters are often ordinary people.
Therefore, it’s not surprising for Spirit Energy Users to have a keen sense of their own life and death.
“Indeed.”
Sitting upright, Viscount Grant entered a working state.
The noble with brown hair and blue eyes pondered, “I had also thought that if it were an internal struggle within the Ellen Family, it’s precisely because the hidden attack was discovered, they would certainly choose a direct assault — since they can’t use the Blue Fla Bracelet to make Yisen Gard’s Sublimation fail and lose his eligibility for the head of the family, then they would definitely opt for murder.”
“Now that they’re exposed, with the power of the Ellen Family, it’s not difficult to find out who’s behind it, so they must achieve their goal before being discovered.”
“Huh.”
It was now Ian’s turn to fall into contemplation.
He thought to himself, “The Blue Fla Bracelet is only ant to lower the success rate of Yisen Gard’s Sublimation, making him lose his potential and not compete for head of the family?
And here I thought it could suddenly trigger an explosion and kill him outright.”
“That explains why Patrick’s attitude towards Yisen Gard was so strange…
That guy doesn’t really want to kill his own nephew; he just wants to make him noncompetitive…
but what I’ve done forces him to resolve things quickly through murder.”
“So that’s it!
No wonder he imdiately harbored the intent to kill from the start — though I did nothing wrong, in a way, my actions forced him to personally take action to kill his nephew, so instead, he wanted to kill !”
Upon realizing this, Ian couldn’t help but feel it was curious, “Just what kind of benefits could drive Patrick to do such an awkward thing?
And indeed, these Imperial Nobility really are sick.”
He vaguely felt that behind all of this, there were details and information that he had not yet fully uncovered.
While there might be benefits, it’s utterly improbable that benefits alone are the motivation — such twisted actions prove that there’s plenty more hidden behind them.
Patrick’s motives might just be the clue to uncovering it all.
“As for these firearms…”
At that mont, Viscount Grant also took the blood-stained Alchemical Handgun from Ian’s hands, not minding the blood, and observed seriously.
He confidently stated, “Indeed, it’s the new model of Alchemical Firearm from the Fiery Fla Land…
Damn it, they haven’t launched a direct attack, but they have already started to dispatch special agents to infiltrate?”
At this mont, Viscount Grant was clearly serious.
Six years ago, the countries of the Fiery Fla Land had opened a passage through the Bison Mountain Range and Abassalom Mountain Range, connecting to the Western Plains of the Empire.
Everyone originally thought that a brutal fortress-canyon battle would erupt between the two sides, but unexpectedly, both parties slacked off.
Inside Fiery Fla Land, the struggle for dominance among the various nations’ blood alliances began, while the Imperial Capital engaged in an open and covert fight with the Western Grand Duke, marking them as evenly-matched opponents.
However, since the passage had already been breached, it was impossible for neither side to do nothing.
What the Empire did, Viscount Grant did not know, but what Fiery Fla Land did had now beco quite clear.
——They sent spies to the South Ridge hinterlands, inciting the Natives, helping with training, and providing weapon supplies…
“It’s possible, an entire Sublimation Agent Squad has already been deployed!”
With such thoughts, Viscount Grant, whose mory was still good, recalled the ‘Flash Mosquito Disease’ from a few years back, which had tied down the Bishop of White Mist: “This plague isn’t typical of the Natives’ doing, after all, our epidemic prevention is simple, and they actually live among a swarm of mosquitoes and are more likely to get infected!”
“Could it be that the spies from Fiery Fla Land had already begun their operations so early?”
At this thought, the Viscount cald down.
Fiery Fla Land’s scrutiny of the Empire was obvious, and to undertake actions couldn’t be so swift, at most they would start now, having to readjust their policies and attitudes towards the Natives.
A dispersed group of Natives and a group trained by Fiery Fla Land and supported with firearms are two different matters.
As for this very mont…
“Ian, your intelligence is vital, I’ll rember it.”
The middle-aged Noble prioritized matters, slowly saying, “Let’s first talk about the situation with the Ellen Family.
After all, as the emperor’s grandson, I don’t wish to be reprimanded by His Majesty.”
“Do we need to do sothing?”
Ian spoke up, “As a fellow traveler, I’m sure to be implicated — Lord Viscount, I don’t believe I could survive an ard assault ant for Yisen Gard.”
“I can’t intervene directly.”
Viscount Grant stood up and paced in his office, then slowly said, “These are all conjectures, I have no room to get involved — the Ellen Family does not need my protection, they have their own strength, and Patrick brought a part of their family’s Aether Armant as a final trump card.
Although it’s not as powerful as the original, it is more than enough for us here.”
“With him there, I doubt they’ll need to protect Yisen Gard.”
——He’s the real problem, okay!
Ian couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Good grief, it was a stroke of luck that he had planned to report the news to both the Viscount and Elder Prude; otherwise, he might miss out on crucial information!
An Aether Armant copy, he hadn’t asked about the specific aning of this term, but as the na implies, it surely must be a replica of the Aether Armant.
Viscount Grant had said, although not as strong as the original, it was still Aether Armant, facing it without an Armor Suit would be impossible.
“The problem also involves the Natives.”
Dwelling on this point, Ian once again shared his discovery, “Viscount, the unusual changes within the Tenglan Tribe have beco very apparent, for over ten consecutive days I haven’t seen Tenglan rchants co to sell their materials…”
“Yisen Gard has already inford of their real mission…
Sir, you must also be aware, so could there be a connection between the Tenglan Tribe’s anomalies and the mission objectives?
Could the spies from Fiery Fla Land already know about the ‘Deep Sea Crystal Dragon’?”
“The enemies the exploration team faces might not only be the assassins targeting Yisen Gard…
but also the Natives, and Fiery Fla Land behind them!”
