[I see, I thought you had contacted Andor through some means. Otherwise, how could that guy say such coherent words... Didn't you expect that he was actually a small crystal dragon? 】

In Master Gosei’s private encrypted channel, the old man’s sudden voice came: [It’s incredible that the insect nest’s transformation of dragon eggs has such an effect... Ian, when I come back from the Eastern Great Plains, can you control the small crystal dragon? Will you cooperate with me in my research? 】

"no problem."

Ian agreed readily. After all, Master Gosei was also an alchemist. Regarding the unknown events that he could not figure out, he was immediately intrigued: "Is your student reliable?"

[As a student, Idwa respected his teachers very much]

Master Gosai said: [But he is a very vulgar person. He trusts me and obeys me because I am his teacher and the master of alchemy in the empire. He does not have the courage to go against the will of the empire for me - but as long as his position is stable, he will not mind being with this future master. cooperate】

[You can’t tell him the truth about Little Crystal Dragon, but you can use my name to contact him, and he will be willing to facilitate it]

Having said this, the master smiled: [Don't worry, this is not a crime. Many researchers in the Atlan breeding ground will open back doors. After all, there are too many rare monsters in it, and many alchemists want to get some research information. . 】

"I understand."

Ian nodded. He didn't find it strange. In a country with such a big empire and such a long history, it would be surprising that there is no corruption, let alone only through the back door.

Rather, if it weren't for the father and son Inaga II and Axel, plus Hilliard, the three of them basically wiped out the old empire one after another, the current empire would probably not be able to maintain such a large empire. territory.

【Is there anything else?】

Master Gosei realized that Ian seemed to have something else to do, so he asked first, and the young man hummed and said directly: "My younger brother is the child of an elf and a white people, and his dominant bloodline is a white people. He is about to awaken his spiritual power recently. I want him to register with the 'Academy of Truth' as ​​soon as possible."

[Does your family have a good bloodline? 】

Master Gesai on the other end of the communicator sounded quite surprised: [Both of you brothers are psykers? This is quite rare... You are half-brothers, right? Did your mother have a powerful psionic ancestor? 】

[No, there were no particularly powerful psychics in the Cejalrovo family at that time... Now it seems that it should be pure luck]

[God knows how many great nobles hope to have this kind of luck, even the emperor would envy him] the old man sighed.

That's not the case.

Ian shook his head silently. His ability to awaken spiritual energy obviously has nothing to do with the physical body. It is mainly because he has awakened the memory of his past life. In other words, it is the specialness of his soul.

And Elan may really be related by blood... After all, Elan's elf mercenary father is said to have married a white citizen just to give birth to a psyker child.

This incident is common in Terra. In order to make the bloodline more excellent and to provide better inheritance for future generations, bloodline holy marriages between nobles are not uncommon, let alone cross-race marriages...

But this statement is mostly folklore, and there is no scientific evidence to prove that the descendants of elves and white people are more likely to awaken psychic powers.

"I'm mainly curious."

Turning his thoughts back, Ian asked Master Gosei doubtfully: "The various races on Terra, gold and black iron, chalk and red blood... plus elves and dwarves, different demi-human races, and many special ones Small races...they all have different bloodline abilities."

"The people of the chalk where I live are easy to awaken spiritual energy. I have studied my body in detail in this regard and found that the brains and various sensory organs of the people of the white are indeed more developed, and they can easily give birth to souls. This may be why they are easy to awaken. The reason for psychic energy...but where do the environmental adaptability of the people of gold and the ability of the cells of the people of iron to resist mechanical damage come from?"

"Not to mention the two ethnic groups, elves and dwarves - my elder, Elder Pude, inherited the true form of the dwarf's father's blood, causing his body to be the same as that of a dwarf, which made his physique extremely strong and tough... and the elves are even more It is unusually quick in dexterity and thinking.”

"This is obviously unnatural. It should be the result of the improvement of human race by the civilization of the previous era. I have been very curious about this recently, so I would like to know, Master Gosei, if you have any recommended books so that I can study them."

[Is it race-specific? In fact, this is a big subject, but major research institutes hide their research results very deeply]

Master Gosei understood. As soon as he heard this, he knew that Ian had already mastered biological alchemy, and even went as far as the 'relationship between body and soul' due to some research, and was now looking for a further path.

He could even guess that Ian must have obtained a lot of information on human experiments, or that he was conducting some inhumane human experiments in Xiahui Ling...

He guessed correctly. But Master Gosei doesn't care. Rather, even the most well-intentioned alchemist can become a little ruthless in the pursuit of truth.

What's more, he is not a good Samaritan in the usual sense.

【This is a good question】

After pondering for a while, Master Gosei laughed and said calmly: [I am not proficient in this area. I am afraid of misleading others and delaying your progress, Ian... But the Ellen family is an expert in this area]

[Isengard’s research in this area is quite deep. Although he is not as good as you, Ian, Isengard is indeed a very good alchemist. He can definitely be your teacher in biological alchemy]

"I completely believe it." Ian's eyes lit up. He originally just wanted to ask if there were any introductory books, but he didn't expect that his friend was a master in this field.

But it’s normal if you think about it carefully. The Ellen family can create fourth-level etheric equipment. Their biotechnology can be regarded as the top batch even on earth or in pre-era civilizations.

[Ethan, Ian wants to see you if I have something to do]

On the other end of the communicator, Master Gosei's voice calling for Isengard can be heard.

[Hey, is this Ian? 】

Soon, Isengard's delighted voice sounded: [Have you returned to the South China Sea? The teacher said you have questions to ask me...]

"Yes, I'm in Harrison Port. It feels good to be back home, especially after becoming famous."

Ian shrugged, he answered his friend's question with a smile, and then repeated the question to Isengard before asking Master Gosei.

[I see...I don’t know what will happen when I return to my hometown]

Isengard sighed, but quickly returned to normal: [The differences in human race talents... In fact, there is almost a consensus answer, especially the people of gold who have studied the most]

[The extraordinary environmental adaptability of the people of Jin was discovered to be related to the ‘Crystal Dragon’ and ‘True Dragon’. Sounds weird, doesn't it? But this is a fact. The genes of the people of gold have a structure similar to the endogenous structure of dragon blood. At the same time, the body of the people of gold will naturally absorb the source of the surrounding environment to transform itself]

[This is why we (the people of gold) have such strong environmental adaptability. This is the same sublimation ability as the crystal dragon, but it does not reach the level of a real superpower, so it can only be regarded as a talent]

"Is that so?"

Ian nodded slightly. He was not surprised at all. After all, the crystal dragon was an artificial super life form created by the civilization of the previous era using the 'Ether Dragon' as a sample. Although the 'Ether Dragon' was not a real dragon, it was definitely thousands of years older than the real dragon. There are inextricable connections, and maybe even the prototype of the real dragon is also the ether dragon.

In short, this extraordinary adaptability is best explained by the fact that what he really cares about is the "psionic talent" of the White People.

And Isengard obviously knows what Ian wants to know most. He told the people of gold just to give Ian an example to compare: [As for the people of white, they have a certain connection with fairies... Haha, I know, Ian, you are Fairy bloodline, but this is really not a coincidence]

[The bodies of the White People need to live in areas with relatively dense source matter, otherwise they are prone to distortion. This is why people often say that the White People will spontaneously gather in big cities and stay away from the wilderness... This is actually a matter of backward reasoning based on the results]

[Actually, many White people once lived in the wilderness and formed pioneer communities, but their bodies could not support them. Most of those communities died. The remaining ones also became people of gold or iron due to bloodline transformation. civil】

[This characteristic is actually that of goblins - in the pre-era period, the active area of ​​goblins was actually not large. It was only in a few dense areas of source matter. It spread to the whole world after the disaster of falling from the sky. The white people obviously imitated some goblins. Characteristics that give it the advantage in psychic abilities]

[As for the elves, they are a 'native race' that has existed in the pre-epochal civilization. They are not transformed. They are a branch of humans. Due to special mutations, they have psychic acuity, which is different from the psychic qualities of the White people. The same, so there is a saying that combining two pairs makes it easier to give birth to psykers, but in fact there is no special effect]

"Is that so?"

Ian was a little surprised now. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the Great Maze of the South China Sea - if Hua An and Shuang Die knew this, wouldn't they be happy? The words ‘Ian, you are indeed a goblin’ are definitely indispensable.

After calming down, the young man did not expect that the principles behind the talents of each race would be so interesting: "Dragons and fairies... what about the people of iron and people of red?"

[Iron People are even more special]

Isengard also likes the feeling of sharing his research results with people of sufficient level. He talked eloquently: [The Iron People sound like they are simply special bodies, or they are composed of metal-based life, plus The name can easily make people think of "Iron Golem" or "Humanoid Armor"... This is indeed consistent with their strong resistance to mechanical damage]

[But in fact, the body of the Iron People is the race that is most closely integrated with the 'source'. I wonder, Ian, have you ever seen ‘gas life’? Those ‘elemental beings’ that use pure source matter as their body structure? 】

"I saw it when I was flying on an imperial aircraft." Ian narrowed his eyes. He remembered the life in the atmosphere that he had seen when he took the pumice aircraft to the Avak Territory. He said thoughtfully: "You mean... …”

[Yes, the Iron People are the transformation result of certain elemental life forms] Isengard chuckled and said: [The Iron People's resistance to mechanical damage comes from the fact that their bodies, in addition to having certain metal-based life characteristics, also have It has certain elemental life characteristics, but human beings are material lives that rely on the body after all, so their elementalization tends to be material elements—the so-called metal-based life characteristics]

[As for the last Red People, their super-regenerative ability seems to be just ordinary vitality, but you have also seen the breeding costumes of our Ellen family... Several Red People have mutated in our Ellen family. The ancestor of the Chinese people, a considerable part of the important functions in the colonial clothing are the result of his research on the mutations of his own blood]

[Therefore, the essence of life of the Red People may be very different from that of most lives. Every piece of their flesh and blood and even body tissues are capable of regeneration and relative independence. If this talent is continuously strengthened, it can even evolve into a drop of blood. To the point where an independent life can be derived, this incredible vitality is almost akin to some kind of 'swarm life' or even 'swarm life'...]

Speaking of this, Isengard was quite proud: [This is the nature of the talents of the four major races of mankind, and it can be regarded as the secret of our Ellen family]

[It may not be entirely correct, but in Terra, the only ones who are more proficient in this area of ​​knowledge than our Ellen family are the group of inquiring madmen in the City of Knowledge...]

Seemingly sensing something, the blond boy quickly said: [But Ian, don't take it too seriously. This is not a special secret. It doesn't matter if I tell you. No one else will know about it anyway]

[I can talk to you about the details of these issues in detail next time you return to the Imperial Capital! 】

"Of course I care. I will definitely repay this gratitude for imparting knowledge."

Ian couldn't help laughing. Isengard told him everything he knew, obviously sincerely wanting to help him. Moreover, this is obviously very secret knowledge, and it is an outline for Terran ethnographic research. Just knowing this will save Ian from making decades of detours in his future research.

How could he not care? Of course thank you seriously.

[Anyway, I am very happy to be able to help you! ] Isengard said softly, and Ian could imagine that the other party was a little embarrassed, scratching his cheek with his fingers: [In short, the secrets behind the four great people are very deep, and they may involve the most profound creatures of the civilization of the previous era. Research technology, many things are not as simple as they appear]

[If you have any discovery ideas, you can also tell me. I am actually very curious about this knowledge! 】

It should be free today, right? There will be another update at 12 o'clock later, so please give me a monthly pass!
