MTL - High Above-Chapter 38 Choice (Thanks to the lord of Zuobojia Coconut for the reward!)

  Chapter 38 Choice

  The aroma of the Ningshen herbal potion is fresh, but the more intense is the fresh aroma of fish.

Although many people admire the umami taste when eating fish and seafood, it is a pity that Ian has a heavy taste, and he will not eat well without chili. Like a little salt and pepper.

  Not to mention fish, at least some steamed fish with soy sauce, right? Unfortunately neither.

   This is what makes Ian quite dissatisfied in the Terra continent—the spices and various food sauces here are quite precious, and even refined salt is a luxury, and only coarse salt can be used for daily cooking.

   "Eat? There is no rush."

   Walking into the house, Hilliard carefully observed the fish steak on the plate. The orange-red fish is steaming hot, and the heat is well controlled. The oil in the fish is overflowing, and the fragrance is exuding, which attracts the appetite. There is also a small spoonful of salt beside the plate.

  The price of salt in the interior of the empire is quite high, but it is limited to refined salt. In Harrison Port, there is no shortage of coarse salt. Not to mention that there are salt farms in the surrounding villages, and rock salt mines can be mined in the Bison Mountains beside it.

   "The craftsmanship is very good, very fragrant."

  Feeling that he really has an appetite, Hilliard turned his head and praised: "And you are really lucky, you can actually find a primordial monster..."

   "No. Wait..."

  Looking at his disciple's blue eyes, the old knight suddenly thought about it. He changed his words and said in a daze, "It's not luck...it's your spiritual power?"

  Ian didn't answer, he smiled slightly, and Hilliard didn't ask any more questions. He also just laughed and turned to look at the fish steak: "It seems that even without me, you can live well, even quite well!"

  Since Ian is not like a normal child, he will respect Ian's secret when asked where he went in the afternoon.

Relying on his own experience, through Ian's attitude towards himself, Hilliard discovered in advance that there were natives in the house, and the characteristics of "picking out the first-born monsters that are difficult to find in the fish pile" can reverse Ian's spirit. It can have the characteristics of 'emotional grasp', 'perspective', 'high-precision observation' or 'source quality observation'.

   All in all, it is an extremely rare compound observation-type psionic ability.

  This kind of spiritual power has no special direct combat power, but it has a great auxiliary effect on the growth of the awakened. It can be said that the higher the energy level, the more useful the spiritual power.

  If it weren't for this psionic ability, Hilliard would most likely not consider accepting Ian as his disciple.

  Because he will leave eventually.

  The disciple didn't have the potential to become stronger by virtue of himself, so why did he take him into the dangerous world of sublimation and be implicated by his identity?

   But if he didn't accept the other party as a disciple, he wouldn't be able to discover Ian's talent on the road to sublimation.

   "Your psychic power is really the ability to bring good luck."

With a word of emotion, and looking at the steaming fish steak, the old knight noticed Ian's smiling expression, but shook his head and said: "You should eat more, these things are very useful for beginners like you, but they are not good for you. For me, it has no effect.”

   "It's just dinner, teacher, you pay for the tuition." Ian insisted, and looking at the eyes of his students, Hilliard laughed dumbly: "Okay, okay, I'll just eat a little and try your handicraft."

  He was not hypocritical, stepped forward, forked the fish, and bit down.

   Immediately, Hilliard's eyes lit up.

Ian handled the fish very well. He thought that there would be some spines and bone residues, but he didn't expect that there was nothing, only the fish with tender and smooth taste, and the degree of grilling was quite appropriate. With a slight pressure on the tongue and palate, the oil and The delicious gravy contained in the fish fiber spreads to all the taste buds, and the fresh taste of the magic salmon has not been tasted for a long time.

  Of course, according to his evaluation criteria, the taste of this fish is strictly speaking a bit bland, but it doesn't make an eight-year-old child compare with the palace chef about the amount of seasoning.

"It's really hard to imagine." Hilliard couldn't help but wondered in his heart: "Aside from my cultivation, is it possible that my student is also a natural chef? If I cultivate it well, just this pair of eyes that can identify good ingredients can be enough To be a special palace chef..."

   Taking another bite, he recalled some past memories and couldn't help sighing: "It's amazing."

  When Hilliard turned his head again, what he saw was Ian's curious eyes.

"teacher."

  The boy asked: "What is the first birth of Warcraft?"

   "Are there many types of monsters? This fish is so weak, can it be considered a monster?"

  Ian is very interested in this knowledge. After all, he is still young in this life, and he doesn't know much about many "common sense" that may be taken for granted on the Terra continent.

   Coincidentally, my teacher seems to be well-informed. Apart from common sense, he may also know a lot of 'secrets'.

  Of course, more importantly, Ian wanted to know the origin of what he ate.

   "The primordial monster is an ordinary natural creature, which is transformed from a normal creature into a monster after being infected by the spiritual energy field, that is, the 'magic' and 'spiritual energy' in the ordinary population."

Putting down the fork, Hilliard thought for a few seconds, sorted out his words, and then slowly said: "The monsters that everyone usually talks about, the scientific name is the original monster, which inherits the genetic gene of the first-born monster...inherited the blood of the first-born monster, And an optimized species that stabilizes benign blood vessels."

"All the monsters on the continent of Terra are basically original monsters. A small number of first-born monsters continue to appear, and most of the weak ones become food. For some excellent first-born monsters, their descendants will increase the types of original monsters and enrich the complexity of bloodlines. .”

   "But in addition, there is another kind of Warcraft that does not have such a chain. They have existed since ancient times, as if they have no source and no derivative."

   Saying so, Hilliard raised his hand, staring at his palm, and said indifferently: "Its name is 'ancient monster', and it is also the most powerful and mysterious type among many monsters."

   At this point, the old knight noticed Ian's expression of listening carefully, and he couldn't help laughing: "These details are like giving you a Warcraft biology class. I will explain it to you in detail when I have time in the future."

   "As for now... since you can eat monster meat, you can foresee the accumulation speed of your source matter, and the condensation of source seed must be faster than I imagined."

  Nodding to let Ian sit upright, Hilliard said seriously: "Ian, the next question will determine your future path of practice."

  He said seriously: "Which inheritance do you want to practice?"

   "Which 'bloodline' or 'true form' do you practice?"

"what?"

  Hearing this, Ian, who was also in awe at first, was taken aback for a moment. He was a little confused, and asked in confusion: "Isn't it like you, Teacher, who inherited the Fortified City and started to practice as an apprentice of Shakai?"

  He still remembered the expression on Hilliard's face when he spoke about his inheritance in the morning.

  The old knight looked like he was fifty years younger, obviously full of great pride and pride.

  He thought that the other party would let him practice the same true form.

   "That is the true form that suits me best, but it may not suit you."

  Hilliard shook his head, and he said frankly: "Besides, the true form of the Immovable Fortified City series is certainly powerful, but the potion materials needed, and the rare parts of various monsters, are all very rare."

"Sand armor apprentices and rock-forged knights may still be able to rely on ordinary monster materials to make the transition. But once they reach the 'Lord of Stone' and 'Apostle of the Mountain', most of the materials needed are the organs and auxiliary materials of extremely powerful monsters. It is also a sublimation plant that is hard to find."

"As for the 'Immortal Fortified City'..." At this point, Hilliard couldn't help but smile wryly: "Its core materials require three incredibly powerful 'ancient monsters', or in other words, 'ancient dragons'. material."

   "Gu Long's core, spinal cord glial and phase neural network, back then even I..."

  Here, the old knight paused and shook his head.

Hilliard said slowly: "Do you understand? Power also requires a price. Some bloodlines are true and can only be practiced by powerful sublimators. You are my disciple, and you are more systematic than ordinary wild sublimators. In terms of resources, they are no better than those who ascended from the countryside."

"I'm going out this afternoon, and by the way, I'm going to inspect the distribution of monsters around Port Harrison. I'm going to list some of the most suitable bloodlines for you tonight. It's best to rely only on the materials of the surrounding monsters. level to the second energy level."

   "At that time, you were estimated to be in your twenties, and you were strong enough to protect yourself. You could travel freely throughout the continent, looking for higher-level materials, so I don't need to think about the future."

   After finishing speaking, Hilliard didn't say much, but Ian was very clear.

  The old knight never imagined that his psychic power would be so convenient, and he could easily find monster meat as food. It can be seen that there will be no shortage in the future, and the speed of cultivation may be much faster than he imagined.

  In this way, the follow-up considerations will also need to be adjusted—after all, if it is Ian, maybe he can really find some materials that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

   It's just that Hilliard can't be sure of this, and it can only be left to Ian's choice.

  —It is to choose a promising future, but doomed to a difficult and bumpy road.

  —It is still a smooth and smooth road, but the end is not necessarily a lofty road.

   "Indeed, the objective situation must also be considered..."

   Frowning slightly, Ian whispered to himself.

  He raised his head, looked at the old knight and said, "Then, teacher, besides the apprentice Shakai, what kind of inheritance can I choose now?"

   It is not now that we want to change our flag.

   He was just going to hear about other options.

   Recommend a high-quality new card book "This Summoner Is Outrageous"! The update is stable, the plot is powerful, the brain hole is wide open, clear and smooth, it is worth watching!
