Opening his eyes, the old elf's gaze was bright: "Perhaps, before I die, our research will yield results!"
He had already begun saying 'our research', a detail that made Ian smile slightly.
Master Gravie's complex emotions towards Canaan Moore, and his deep love for the Elves as a race, were impossible to deceive or ignore. He could certainly see the awkward situation and determination of this elder, so after considering, he did not kill him or allow him to be killed, but instead invited him to join forces.
Of course, Ian would not let Master Gravie pretend to die and return to Xiawei Territory... Not to mention that the Siren being isolated at sea makes this quite difficult, even if it were successful, it wouldn't essentially enhance Xiawei Territory's research capabilities.
After all, with Ian and Adalbert, the two most brilliant talents of the new generation, even Master Gravie's profound skills cannot bring about a qualitative change.
