————I’m too sleepy, I’ll make up for it tomorrow~~

After leaving the sequencing laboratory, Horn returned to his office. Brundes had been waiting there for a long time. When Horn finally arrived, Brundes immediately handed over the information he had compiled.

While Horn was flipping through the information, Brundes also explained: "Because of the fear of being discovered by the other party, all the information was compiled from the information collected by the Seven Towers in the past.

"In addition, judging from the source of the blood samples collected in the comprehensive testing plan, the current range that can be targeted can only be accurate to the Drak Territory in the central and southern regions. Going further will inevitably require the use of detection spells.

"If you ask me, the comprehensive testing is too urgent, and many links rely too much on magic. If the identity of every blood collection target is registered, the specific identity of the target can now be determined."

After hearing Brundes' complaint, Horn closed the information in his hand. In fact, it was nothing interesting. It was just some regular information related to the River Drak Territory in the past few years.

Accuracy aside, there is not much point in continuing to check as far as timeliness is concerned.

"You should say this now. Why didn't you say it before? You also need to register the identity of each blood collector. Do you know how much trouble this extra step will cause? I will consider this matter again and wait until I Let’s talk about it when Staff Tower comes back.”

After saying that, Horn threw the information on the desk aside, but after thinking for a while, another mage recalled it to his hand, and then confessed a few words to Brundes, and then hurried out.

…

That night, the Azure Manor in the west of Sevington's old town received a mysterious guest.

He only stopped pretending after entering the laboratory with a higher protection level in the manor. It was Horn who hurried to Gustav Tower at noon. At this moment, he said to Shado apologetically:

"Sorry to bother you so late."

"It doesn't matter if things happen for a reason. After all, one of the responsibilities of a member of Parliament is to keep in touch at all times."

Sha Duo realized that Horn's visit this time might have brought some unexpected but very important news, so he didn't care about small talk at the moment and asked immediately:

"What makes you so nervous, Horn? And you still come to me? Could it be that the abyss was detected in the blood samples in my territory?"

Xia Duo could only think of such a possibility at the first time, but the problem was that before the territory's blood sample was sent for testing, he actually tested it privately once and did not find the abyss aura.

There's no way someone is trying to frame him over this, right? But even if he openly admits that he is a demon, let alone Netheril, even in the Alliance, it is not certain that anyone can do anything to him!

So that’s something else?

Xia Duo quickly ran through many possibilities in his mind. At the same time, Horn also began to explain his purpose, "It has nothing to do with the demon descendants. No, it actually has a little bit to do with it. If it weren't for a comprehensive test, we wouldn't have done it." You may have discovered this. I wonder, Xia Duo, if you know about the recent breakthroughs in the technology derived from the blood sequencing project?"

"Are you talking about bloodline source locking technology?" Sha Duo asked rhetorically.

Although the two parties have separated and merged several times, until now, there are still people from the Tower of Time participating in the bloodline sequencing project of Jilan Tower. However, sequencing is sequencing, and derivative technology is another matter.

If it weren't for the blood source locking technology that can effectively improve sequencing efficiency, Xia Duo felt that Jilan Tower would not necessarily disclose this technology to him.

Now when asked by Horn, it is no surprise that it is the bloodline source locking technology. This technology can quickly lock the most fundamental structure of the bloodline - the bloodline source lock.

The most direct understanding of bloodline sequencing is to determine the status of the countless bloodline source locks contained in the human bloodline sequence.

Under the premise of understanding this technical background, combined with Horn's words just now, it is not difficult for Xia Duo to judge that Horn's visit this time should have detected something extraordinary in the blood samples sent for inspection from various places!

Thinking of this, he continued to ask: "What exactly did you find?"

"You may not believe it, but we have discovered a foreign race that can disguise the blood sequence as a human! If it were not for the breakthrough of blood source locking technology, which can quickly locate and detect the source lock status, we may never have discovered it."

"real or fake?"

Sha Duo's first reaction was disbelief, but at the same time, he also understood that Horn would not come over and joke with him about such a thing in the middle of the night. Therefore, his second reaction was shock, that such a thing could happen? !

The bloodline sequence in the magical world is similar to the DNA on earth. It is the only characteristic of a race that is close to its origin. If you can even disguise this, what else can't be disguised?

In other words, those who have mastered this technology have transcended racial restrictions to a certain extent!

If we use the analogy of the biological classifications on earth - kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species, it does not transcend the level of "genus", but directly transcends the highest "kingdom". class.

Once you master this technology, there is no difference whether it is an animal or a plant, and you can change it at will. This is simply the ultimate goal of the bloodline sequencing project!

Sequencing human blood is not enough. It is also necessary to completely sequence other organisms that want to change.

So after realizing that there was such a possibility of rapid advancement in the bloodline field, Xia Duo instantly ignited an extremely strong desire in his heart——

get it! Definitely get this technique!

But enthusiasm is only temporary, and reality needs to be treated calmly after all. Xia Duo thought for a moment and confirmed to Horn: "It can't be a detection error, right?"

The moment he said these words, Xia Duo was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, he really hoped that this was true, so that he would indeed have the opportunity to make rapid progress in the bloodline field.

But on the other hand, he also hoped that this matter was false, because a being with such technology may not be able to compete with Netheril or even the entire North.

He stared at Horn with a complicated expression. Horn could completely understand this look, and then he gave his own answer:

"This matter has been repeatedly confirmed by Jilan Tower. If this matter is still uncertain, I will not come to disturb you at this point in time. This is indeed a fact!"

Hearing Horn's extremely affirmative answer, Sha Duo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then asked: "What does the Seven Towers want me to do?"

If it were anything else, he would definitely not be so hasty to take up the matter, but he couldn't help but take the initiative to get close to it and even explore it in depth.

"It's very simple. We asked Lord Shado to mobilize the floating city to cooperate with the Seven Towers to capture the target. At present, we have only locked the approximate location of the target, and the information may still be lagging behind. Without the cooperation of the floating city, we are really not sure."

Horn was not trying to cover up the Seven Towers' temporary lag in the movable war spell platform. In order for Shado to agree to help, necessary intelligence sharing was necessary.
