"The environment around Harrison Port is quite favorable. The sea and mountains breed a large number of magical beasts of the water and soil elements. There are also many magical beasts in the redwood forest that have no elemental tendencies and are simply powerful in their vitality. Their bodies can be used for refining. Ingredients for making potions.”
Since Ian asked, Hilliard explained carefully.
At this moment, he returned to his original appearance, no longer pretending to be Oceana, and sat down and said: "I only inspected the monsters in the sea today, but to be honest, the land monsters around the human gathering areas are nothing more than monster wolves, giant bears, and giant monsters. Wild boar is not worth mentioning, other species can only be found in the deep mountains.”
The old knight fetched a glass of water, used the water as ink, and analyzed Ian on the table: "This is Harrison Port, located on the southeast coast of the Baisen Mountains. To the south is the Caotan Cliff, and O'Dell Reef is right next to it. There is ' The giant eel and the swirling sea snake inhabit it, which is quite dangerous."
"To the northeast is the chaotic reef area, where a large number of fortifying corals and reef-eating sea otters inhabit. There are also some coral reefs and labyrinth algae, which are relatively dangerous."
"To the east, there are tidal fish schools in the offshore, and the king fish is the fisherman's favorite. There are armored sharks in the far sea, which are of average danger. Armored sharks generally don't eat people, unless you go into the sea wearing armor or have wounds on your body."
Hilliard's explanation was very serious and detailed. For a moment, Ian couldn't help but recall that his mentor on earth also taught him the same earnestly.
He followed the other party's explanation, and for the first time he had such a clear understanding of the distribution of monsters around Harrison Port.
The boy understood that being able to collect so much information in one afternoon was enough to prove that Hilliard was serious about this matter.
"Finally, there are thunderhunting jellyfish in the sea area near Caotan Cliff, which is extremely dangerous. Those jellyfish can fly and are especially active during thunderstorms. They will attack all creatures that invade their territory indiscriminately."
After speaking, the old knight put down his finger. He frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "The fish, giant eels and sea snakes can follow the 'Sea Dragon Bloodline' line, which is also an inheritance that can advance to the fifth level."
"But it's not orthodox dragon blood. It requires an additional purification ceremony to be washed with the blood of an ancient dragon of the same series. It's no less troublesome than Fudo Fortress."
"But if you don't follow the sea dragon bloodline, the road will be narrow. Except for some extremely secret and rare inheritances, most of the giant eel and sea snake inheritances are up to the third energy level. The fish king of the tidal fish school can only take the first place. The 'wave breaker' of energy levels."
Hilliard's tone even sounded dismissive, but that wasn't the case.
In fact, according to the common sense of sublimated people mentioned by Hilliard and Ian before, the third level is already a well-known strong man on the continent of Terra, and can be called a hero, and bards will praise his deeds.
Apart from anything else, the governor of Harrison Port is only a second-level person, enough to be a hereditary field viscount, and a third-level person can even be a general in the empire.
The first level is enough to become a human master, to be received by local nobles, and to enjoy many privileges.
Having the inheritance of the third energy level is considered a blessing from heaven for ordinary self-cultivated sublimators. In their lifetime, they may not be able to break through the second energy level and qualify as a noble, let alone obtain a high position in the empire. .
In fact, even a perfect inheritance like the Wave Breaker cannot be obtained, and one can only be a bulk sublimator.
But in Hilliard's nonchalant tone, this was obviously not enough.
"The Reef-eating Sea Otter has both water and earth elements, so it can be used as a potion material for the Sand Armor Apprentice, but it's just a bit reluctant. If you want to advance stably, the potion material is still the eyes of the Salt Sea Sand Lizard, and the stone heart of the Mire Bear. Or the petrified poison sac of the Obsidian Stone Scorpion is safer."
The old knight shook his head slightly, obviously not recognizing the quality of the reef-eating sea otter: "Thunderhunting jellyfish is the main ingredient of the low-level potion in the true form of 'Aurora Titan'. It has full potential, but it is too dangerous."
"As for the jellyfish and the labyrinth algae, one can create mirage illusions, and the other can confuse the spirit. They can just get the blood of a 'fairy'... This is not bad. It can be advanced to the fourth energy level, with a few special branches, such as' The high elemental fairies, 'natural fairies' and 'silver fairies' have the potential of the fifth level."
"As for the final armored shark, if it can be combined with the 'Wind Riding Swordfish' and the Tears of the Whale, a special water element crystallization, it can advance to a higher true form, the 'Tidebringer'."
Hilliard's expectations for Ian are high, even very high.
He believed that if there were no advanced forms of the fourth and fifth levels, then this bloodline true form would not be worthy of Ian's learning.
However, even if they are all bloodline true forms with a fifth-level future, the difficulty and intensity of advancement vary.
Unmoving a fortified city is the most difficult and strongest type.
"Is this so..."
After listening to the old knight's explanation, Ian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, his thoughts became firmer.
——He wants to choose the strongest inheritance.
Who doesn't want to become stronger?
You obviously have the conditions to choose the best path, but if you don't try it because it's difficult to advance, you will definitely regret it in the future.
But Hilliard's words were also practical.
The materials for the three ancient dragons cannot be obtained easily. They are the most powerful forces on the continent of Terra, and they need to go all out to obtain materials.
"The Fortress of Immobility is one of the strongest inheritances, right?"
After thinking for a while, Ian spoke and asked Hilliard: "What kind of World of Warcraft materials are needed for its mid- to low-level potions?"
"Should I still choose to practice as a sand armor apprentice?" Hilliard noticed Ian's expression and knew that the other person was serious. He couldn't help but shake his head: "If you don't listen to advice, you will suffer in the future."
But he was not disappointed, instead he smiled and encouraged: "No inheritance is the strongest, only people are the strongest. As for the materials, it is very simple, as long as there is a certain amount of 'earth element' related Warcraft, it can be used as the main material. "
"If you are not afraid of hardships and are willing to take this path, then I have nothing else to say."
"No." Ian shook his head and explained: "According to what you said, the water dragon bloodline, the Aurora Titan and the Tidebringer, and even the fairy bloodline are all very powerful inheritances... But the true form of the bloodline obviously does not depend on knowing how to practice. Yes, isn't it?"
Ian looked at Hilliard's solemn face: "Apprentice of Sand Armor, at least I can learn a lot of experience and skills from you, teacher. There are also some detours that I don't have to take. As for the other inheritance, I'm afraid I can only inherit it myself." Let’s explore.”
“The road is harder than you think.”
The old knight sighed, but Ian didn't care: "There's no need to be too anxious about the future. Just let the future me worry about the future."
"Teacher, you are the master of Fudo Castle. With your guidance, I will at least have a solid foundation in the first few levels."
"The most important thing is." The boy concluded in the end: "It would be a bit silly to not use the teacher's experience and lessons."
"That's not what teachers do!"
