I Will Be The Crowned King

"Well... I agree with Anson's speculation that emotions may indeed be the key factor affecting bloodline inheritance."

After pondering for ten minutes, August, who slowly raised his head from behind the desk, looked at the two in front of him, and replied in a very serious tone: "Actually, after reading all the materials, I also had a similar experience. judgment, but could not find any strong supporting evidence.”

"Now Anson deduces the same result from the prophecy, proving that the whole idea is worth scrutinizing and testing."

"The original ring is on!"

Rune, who was mumbling to himself, let out a long sigh, as if in disbelief, and as if the tense heartstrings finally relaxed, and he slumped directly on the sofa opposite:

"It's really... I should be ashamed. When Ansen said his guess, he mistakenly thought that he was just passing away and didn't want to go to the Blood Desire Hall with me!"

"I reminded you, Researcher Collins, Anson is a very insightful evolutionary." August leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, showing a reserved and elegant smile:

"If you don't keep working hard, you may even lose your job to him."

"I am willing!" Rune's expression suddenly became serious:

"I'd love to have Anson take my job, August, if it makes the big plans come to fruition sooner rather than later."

"Maybe, but certainly not now."

August shrugged indifferently and said in a flat tone: "After all, in a strict sense, he is still on vacation now, so dear Researcher Collins, I still need your help for the time being, okay?"

"of course can!"

Rune, whose eyes lit up, agreed immediately, and almost got up from the sofa in excitement: "The original ring is on, I will definitely become an indispensable assistant by your side like Anson - I swear!"

"Well...it doesn't have to be the same, I still look forward to more different surprises from you." August's smile was a little more helpless, and he said softly:

"But for now, I can probably just say wait and see."

"Yes!"

Rune pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded vigorously, as if he was excited to have the opportunity to work with his idol.

Well, not like, it is.

An Sen, who was at the center of the conversation between the two, did not join in, and stood silently by the window, looking around the room and the scenery outside.

Dark golden brass pipes are all around, and several vents with valves flow filtered air into the room. It can be clearly felt that the temperature here is much stronger than the street outside Boredim; soft carpet And the sofa resembles both silk and animal fur, and a few hollow gemstones floating in the golden decoration of the ceiling emit a faint shimmer, bright and warm.

This luxurious office is only a microcosm of the entire alchemy room. Looking out from the window, the entire building is comparable to the size of a half Saint Isaac's College, and it is only the part that you see.

And when Rune took himself on a four-wheeled carriage with a driverless driver, it took him an hour and a half to cross most of the Boredim city and found the so-called "Bloodline Alchemy Room", which was only two stories high and broken. Just a dilapidated building.

Using the new knowledge just learned from the Great Corridor Hall, the building outside is just an illusion, and they actually entered the "distorted realm" set in advance by a conjurer.

According to Rune's description, not only this alchemy room, but most of the buildings in the entire Boredim are actually twisted fields, created by the magic apostles in the original tower according to the needs of users. .

Like the twisted realm where he is, because of the needs of the experiment, the air itself contains excessive magical reactions and elements that can preserve samples, but are deadly enough to ordinary people, so they are equipped with purification devices that cover all living and working spaces.

The reason why Anson felt that the air outside Boredim was not very comfortable was because of the "blood pus fog" covering the city, which was responsible for monitoring and managing most of the city's activities and adjusting the temperature difference between inside and outside; the disadvantage is that it is too strong The magic reaction makes it difficult for those who experience it for the first time to adapt.

In other words, the entire Boredim is under the surveillance, management and control of the apostles in the Primordial Tower.

Looking out at the twisted sky that seemed to be a mix of countless kinds of paint, and the faint green dust floating in the air, An Sen suddenly had a certain guess in his heart.

It was clearly mentioned in the book in the hall of the Great Corridor that all the distorted fields were created by a conjurer, and at least "Tutoer", that is, a conjurer of the blasphemous mage level, was able to create this kind of magic. Domain, and need to sacrifice part of the casting space.

But the spellcasting space is essentially a conjurer's ability level, that is, the range within which he can distort the laws of nature; in theory, if the spellcaster dies, the distortion field he created should not exist.

And Talia once clearly stated that the Lord of the Abyss, who fought with her, possesses both black magic and blood magic, and is not a conjurer, so who is maintaining its twisted realm?

"What are you thinking about?"

The gentle voice interrupted Anson's reverie, and August, with his waist on his back, suddenly walked behind him, with a somewhat teasing smile on his face: "I know Boredium is a magical place, but Shouldn't I be so fascinated by my well-informed deputy?"

"Just a little distracted."

An Sen, who immediately regained his composure, opened his mouth and said, his eyes showing the tension that amnesiacs often show: "I'm trying to observe the surroundings as much as possible to familiarize myself with the environment, so that my colleagues in the alchemy room may not find out what I have on my body. …unusual."

Hearing this answer, August, who was still thinking about joking just now, immediately restrained his smile. After being silent for a few seconds, he patted Anson on the shoulder lightly:

"I know you're nervous right now, but you don't have to; trust me, as long as you keep your style, they won't find a problem."

"Also... don't think the apostles are too powerful. At least in this era, they are far from being omnipotent like the true gods, they are just a group of false gods."

The comforted An Sen nodded lightly, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

What is...in this day and age?

And listening to August's tone, he seemed to disapprove of those apostles, which was completely different from Rune's attitude - of course he also has this capital, after all, he will become an apostle in the future.

August, who didn't notice Anson's strangeness, let go of his shoulders and continued: "Rune is going to take us to visit the petri dish of the experimental object, and by the way, test whether the prediction we got is accurate."

"He seems to want to invite you to come with me, I actually think so, but if you feel too tired, or if you still want to visit other areas of the alchemy room, I can ask him to arrange other people..."

"No, I'm willing." Anson raised his hand to interrupt August, smiled and said:

"This is an experiment that can affect the whole world, and it is related to the success or failure of a big plan. What can be more exciting than this?"

"some."

Staring into Anson's eyes, August's expression seemed to change, as if staring at something unspeakable: "There is something more precious than satisfying personal curiosity."

"And when you have it, don't take its existence as a matter of habit and take it for granted; every minute and every second is the last moment it is by your side."

Looking at August, who suddenly became serious in front of him, Anson, who was confused and nervous, felt a little stiff in his expression, swallowed his throat silently, and did not dare to speak.

"But let's focus on work for now, and let's look at the thing that will determine the future of the world."

After the conversation changed, August suddenly showed an easy-going smile as if he had changed himself, and turned to Rune, who was waiting at the door, and said, "My dear researcher Collins, congratulations, you have a new one. Audience!"

"Oh, that's great!"

Rune said happily, not forgetting to wave to Anson.

So the two of them followed closely behind him, walking down the stairs of the alchemy room (castle), where they could feel the squirming, and walked towards the room where the petri dishes were stored.

While leading the way in front, Rune introduced behind him—mainly Anson—the origin and process of the entire experiment.

In this era, due to the spread of the three major pathways and the influence of the power of the three old gods, not only human beings, but many naturally born life forms have been affected to varying degrees in the past thousand years, and many mutant groups have appeared. With the individual, or possessing high wisdom, or possessing extremely strong vitality, or completely contrary to the common sense of existence of life...

This kind of existence that does not evolve according to the path, suffers from magical reactions or fails to evolve, is called "mutant bloodline".

Of course, this is not surprising, because these contents are also recorded in the "Original Book" of the Church of the Ring of Order, but their descriptions are not so academic, but they are called: Beastmen, dragons, vampires, Siren, Goblin, Treant...

In the context of the Church of Order, these inhuman horrors belong to the fallen creatures of darkness, the targets of the hunt and confrontation of the ancient seven knights.

According to the description of the Primordial Ring believers in this era, they are only aliens that have been influenced by the apostles or true gods, the products of natural laws being distorted and tampered with, and some of them have been successfully mutated, and they live in nature. The environment strikes a certain balance.

When the Three Old Gods failed due to evolution—of course, the Old Gods did not admit this—after the fall, the study of these mutant lifeforms became part of the Old Gods believers to regain their former glory, hoping to restore their former glory. The rationale for finding more evolutionary pathways in these bizarre directions of mutation.

"In this regard, our 'Bloodline' alchemy room is at the forefront of research; of course, the same is true for the Bright Star City Laboratory." Rune said proudly:

"Relying on the prophecies of the apostles, we have discovered a very special mutation carrier, which has an extremely interesting characteristic, which naturally derives corresponding magical abilities according to the surrounding environment, and then disappears quickly after leaving the environment. "

"For example, if they enter a relatively extreme environment, their flesh and blood will rapidly expand and strengthen, or directly distort the environment into a more comfortable climate; and when encountering unfamiliar individuals, they will also stretch out hard shells and horns. Or minions, it is also possible to breathe fire, or to communicate directly with strange individuals from the spiritual level."

"This mutant, which is full of changes and can adapt to the environment to the greatest extent, we think is the closest or completely opposite to the true gods - the true gods evolved to resist the influence of the environment, and they rely on mutations. Adapt as much as possible to the surrounding environment.”

"The most important thing is that they have mastered three major evolutionary pathways at the same time, and these forces do not seem to cause any conflict in their bodies!" Rune excitedly said:

"If we can decipher and structure the cause and process of their mutation, the combination of the three magics will go further, and it will no longer be full of limitations and defects like in the past!"

"Not only that~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can also make the group that masters the power of true God more common, rather than just the privilege of a few believers as it is now." August nodded slightly:

"Boridim hopes that these mutants will mate and multiply on a large scale, and finally find a way to pass on their special mutant bloodline, right?"

"Uh... yes, no." Rune suddenly stammered:

"It's like this, we have tried various ways to help them reproduce, including allowing them to mate naturally, but the results are very unsatisfactory - all the offspring individuals born, almost without exception, have a large mutation in the aspect. The magnitude is degraded, and it is impossible to use the three major magics at will like the previous generation."

"So far, there are less than a dozen of the original experimental bodies, and there are hundreds of second-generation ones, but without exception, they can only use one or two kinds of magic power. As for their descendants...even if If one can be used, the level of mutation is obviously different from the previous generation, and there is no trace of mutation at all."

"This kind of 'deterioration' is most obvious when they hybridize with other species, and the offspring that are born will almost certainly lose their strength completely and become ordinary individuals with no appearance; About six generations have completely lost their power."

"Well, so we have to find a way to stop 'deterioration', and the best way at the moment is emotions..." August thought thoughtfully:

"It's not so much because of the environment, it's not about the evolution of completely different powers based on emotions; desire to communicate can obtain the power of black magic, anger can spit fire or grow minions, fear of death can strengthen flesh and blood..."

"These are really strange and interesting races, did you name them?"
