"Thank you so much."
On the other side, although he didn't wait for a definite answer, Ian didn't take it seriously: "Please bother me."
On the contrary, he could even say that he had put down a big stone and felt much relieved.
--Do not worry? Of course he is not in a hurry. No matter whether this suggestion can be successful or not, at least his future safety will be guaranteed!
You must know that what he is going to do next is very dangerous in the lake forest at night... It is an unexpected good thing to be protected by such an old knight who does not look weak and exudes golden light.
At this moment, Ian turned his head. He took out the rope and tied the bodies of Lin Bao and the indigenous people to his uncle. Then he tested the weight and felt that it was still within the bearing range. He took a step and continued to drag the bodies forward.
Whether it was an attack by a forest leopard or a native, it was just an expected episode. His destination was still the edge of the lake forest.
The old knight stayed where he was. He did not follow Ian immediately, but closed his eyes and meditated.
"Ian."
Repeating Ian's name in his mind, the man thought: "Are they the white people of Harrison Port..."
To the east of Whale Song Cliff, to the south of Flying Flame Land, the Baisen Mountains, and around the narrow coastline where countless giant redwood trees grow, all have a tropical rainforest climate. The pioneers more than a hundred years ago identified this place as imperial territory, and the imperial immigrants decades ago built several small port towns here, and Harrison Port is the largest of them.
As a result, human footprints have expanded to the coast of the southernmost sea area of the continent, but apart from these few cities, there should be more primitive jungle areas.
The man knew very well that Harrison Port was next to him, and the first immigrants in Harrison Port were several families of sinners who had been demoted from the imperial capital or from the frontier, and were exiled to the edge of the world.
Among them, there is indeed a group of white people.
In such a family, it is not impossible for a chosen one to awaken his psychic powers as a child.
The White People are a group of humans who appeared after the Skyfall disaster thousands of years ago. They are a group of humans who are better adapted to psychic energy and radiation. They usually live around the urban energy furnaces with the most radiation, far away from the cleanest forests - the natural environment will make them Rejection reactions occur and newborns develop various abnormalities.
"But even if you are a white citizen, you have awakened psychic powers at such a young age, and you are so smart and calm..."
Muttering to himself, the old knight spoke in a complicated tone: "When was the last time I met such a stunning young man...?"
That was probably over fifty years ago.
That time when the empire was in dire straits and the country was about to collapse.
"My mission..."
Opening his eyes, the man no longer recalled the past.
The old knight could sense that Ian had walked far away and never stopped.
Sighing, then chuckling again, and following the traces, the man continued to follow behind the boy.
——In any case, those missions do not conflict with taking care of a child.
The forest is damp, full of moss and vines, with rot underfoot and looming tree roots, making it difficult for even a skilled hunter.
But the gray-haired knight, who looked like just a tired old man, was walking on flat ground. He trampled on rotten leaves and branches, and passed through the forest like a ghost without making any sound, not even disturbing an insect.
Listening to the footsteps and traces ahead, the old knight knew that the boy had stopped. It seemed that Ian had found a good place to dispose of the body.
But suddenly, there was a familiar smell in the wind.
"Blood?"
Confused, the old knight muttered, "Why?"
"Did we encounter another enemy? But I didn't feel anything..."
Within the knight's sensing range, there was no creature that could be called dangerous or that could pose a threat to Ian.
However, a few seconds later, not far away, the sound of cutting flesh and blood could be heard faintly in the woods. This immediately made him realize, but he was also puzzled: "Are you cutting a corpse?"
——Now that we have reached the woods outside the city, why bother to cut the body into pieces and bury it?
The smell of blood is so strong that even if there are not many wild beasts in the lake forest, it will attract them from afar.
Even if you are promised your own protection, you should not take such unnecessary measures.
The old knight felt that the calm child would not make such a ridiculous move - Ian must have his own thoughts and purposes.
So, he decided to take a closer look.
Then, following the traces forward, the man looking out at the lakeside in the open space saw a scene that shocked even him.
Under the moonlight, sparkling silver waves rippled, the wind whipped the lake rocks slightly, causing a thin mist to rise.
In this night scene by the lake, the white-haired boy was sitting on the lake rocks to rest, panting tiredly. His tattered gray-brown robe could not cover his skin, and his shins that were far whiter than ordinary people were exposed between the holes.
At this moment, he quietly raised his head and stared at the starry sky above his head.
The slender boy's eyes were like stars, reflecting the moonlight in the sky.
Although there were not many stars on the dim sky, and the few remaining ones were getting dimmer, the pair of light blue aqua eyes were still staring.
This is a short break. After the break, Ian lowered his head and began to continue his previous homework.
The child, who was like an elf, took out his knife, swung it at the body lying flat on the lake rock, and cut it off. Everything is contradictory and full of contrasts.
He stared at the corpse with calm and serious eyes, just like an ordinary person staring at a stone, or like a researcher looking at his research materials, even with a little piety.
The sound of flesh and blood being cut was heard.

【Start human body analysis】
[Main anatomy sample: Male White People Osenna; Auxiliary anatomy samples: Male indigenous hunter, wild female forest leopard]
[It is basically certain that humans in the world of Terra (excluding elves and other humanoid creatures) are exactly the same as humans on Earth in appearance, have exactly the same body structure, and have exactly the same facial features and hair follicles]
[By comparing Oceana and indigenous hunters, it can be roughly inferred that the white people are albinos with special genetic characteristics, while the indigenous people are severely malnourished and have adapted to jungle life.]
[The skin of the three anatomical specimens is quite tough. Generally, human skin is thin, soft, and elastic, but I don't know whether it's the Terran race's special physique or whether it's Oceana who is special. His cortex is very thick and tough, like a smooth cocoon, and the subcutaneous fat is also very thick. Thick, it can store more energy, endure colder weather, and lose body temperature more slowly in water]
[Indigenous hunters do not have these characteristics, but their skin is as dry and hard as bark. In terms of pure hardness, it is only slightly inferior to real bark and is on the same level as forest leopards]
[As a wild beast from another world, it is understandable that Lin Leopard has such a tough skin, but both the indigenous people and the white people have almost the same level of tough skin, so it is confusing]
[Coupled with considerable strength, humans in this world, even with their bodies alone, are extremely dangerous, medium to large predators comparable to jaguars or even bears. This is consistent with what I speculated before. 】
[No, overturn the previous idea]
[Further dissection proved that the skeletal structure of Terran humans is different from that of humans on Earth. Several of the upper ribs of Oceana and the indigenous hunters merged into thick bone plates to protect the heart. After self-test and compression, it was confirmed that I also have the same bone characteristics, which should be the common body structure of the Terran people]
[The heart structure is also wrong. The hearts of the Terrans are stronger, similar to those of Earth's military genetic modifications. Even if they have been dead for a period of time, they still retain considerable activity]
[Why are muscle fibers so dense? And it has this kind of structure... This is not the shape of natural muscles! Natural muscle groups are not so simple, clean and aesthetically pleasing. Instead, they are a bit like artificial muscle fibers used in space engineering prostheses... No wonder the strength is so strong]
[Wait a minute, why is there another small stomach around the stomach? Wrapped in muscles, it looks a bit like a bird's gizzard. It feels very hard and is not actually used. But I feel like I might be able to activate it if I have the chance]
[If activation is enabled, the digestive capacity will be enhanced, and many things that ordinary people cannot eat can be digested by the gizzard]
[Leather-like skin, amazingly active heart, almost perfect muscle fiber group, and this second stomach...]
[Are Terran humans...really natural creatures? ! 】
