Lord of War

The importance of the Gorge Fortress is not just because it is one of the six entrances to the wild land.

In fact, the core reason why this fortress is important is that there is a bloodline laboratory built in the fortress when the Dabiang Kingdom and the Millennium Covenant Empire cooperated. Although a lot of materials in this laboratory have been cleaned up, the crisis that broke out at that time came very suddenly, so some of the materials did not have time to be incinerated and cleaned up at all—and this part of secondary data may be worthless at the beginning, but in the Today, it has become a priceless and valuable information.

Reis, this woman who has an inexplicable and unexplainable relationship with William, is now the new project director of this bloodline laboratory.

When she was in the Millennium Covenant Empire, she was one of the core leaders of the bloodline experiment. She was "rescued" this time, and she naturally brought many highly professional new technologies. Some of the materials left behind made her research advance by leaps and bounds—in Reiss’ words, it shortened the research and development for a full twenty years.

As long as there are suitable research subjects, Reis can immediately develop a new artificial blood.

Artificial blood is a kind of synthetic blood. Although it can give people the ability of blood, it is definitely not as powerful as natural blood. However, the biggest feature of artificial blood is its coverage and compatibility. As long as the body can bear it, a person can even have multiple bloods, and at the same time obtain the special abilities provided by these multiple bloods.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Bloodlines are a very domineering innate ability. Anyone implanted with artificial bloodlines, although their body functions will be strengthened to a certain extent, but at the same time it will also accelerate the consumption of vitality—after all, artificially synthesized bloodlines need to consume vitality to activate. , unlike natural blood that already exists in a person's genes. Therefore, the more artificial blood vessels are implanted, the greater the consumption of vitality, and the most typical characteristic is the decay of lifespan.

But in the game back then, players would not have such troubles, and compared to the aborigines, the rights and interests of players are simply like bugs.

The so-called artificial bloodlines refer to bloodlines of the three grades of bronze, silver, and gold, while Legendary, Manmin, and Shenmin belong to natural bloodlines.

Once a person with natural bloodlines awakens, they can immediately obtain powerful bloodline abilities, and this bloodline ability will not destroy the life genes of the awakened person, but will strengthen the awakened through the power of the awakened bloodlines The life characteristics and genetic abilities of the victim can be obtained to obtain powerful natural abilities. But people without bloodlines will never be able to obtain this ability, and compared to people with bloodlines, they are like waste.

The bloodline experiment of the Millennium Covenant Empire was developed based on the idea of ​​"letting people without natural bloodlines obtain bloodline abilities". It's just that the final research also clearly shows that the artificial blood can never be compared with the natural blood, and once the artificial blood is implanted, it will inevitably destroy the life genes of the implanter. Although high-level bloodlines cannot cover low-level bloodlines, they are limited to gold covering silver and silver covering bronze. Such people will never be able to obtain natural bloodlines.

Only players can use natural blood to cover artificial blood—when the game expansion started, all players could only find a way to obtain bronze-level artificial blood, and then slowly obtain higher-level blood to cover it, or Upgrade your own bloodline. However, compared with the aborigines, the disadvantage of players is that they can only have one bloodline.

It is impossible to implant multiple artificial blood vessels at the same time like the aborigines, thus obtaining the result of the ability of multiple blood vessels.

When Lays withdrew, the Millennium Covenant Empire had developed three types of bronze bloodlines, which were the bloodline of the violent ape representing strength, the bloodline of the black wolf representing agility, and the bloodline of the iron-clad ox representing endurance. But now after Leis was "rescued", because of some relevant information, she not only mastered the three bronze bloodlines of the Millennium Covenant Empire, but also improved them, and developed two brand new bloodlines. His bronze bloodlines: winter wolf bloodline and ghost python bloodline.

The typical characteristics of the former are strength and endurance, while the latter is endurance and a certain ability to poison.

What Leis is currently conducting research on is the silver-level bloodline ability.

But what Sean really cared about was not Leis's blood experiment. He is very clear about what kind of fate these so-called artificial blood vessels will bring to the implanters. Perhaps in a short period of time, it can indeed improve the combat capabilities of a large number of people. The lifespan of people with bloodlines will be reduced by at least twenty to thirty years. If two people are compatible, it will be even greater. Usually, if people with three bronze bloodlines are compatible, they will generally not live past forty years old.

The experimenters who can be selected as bloodline implants have gone through a series of very strict tests and inspections. At least they are people who can live to be hundreds of years old. That is to say, these people at least have the ability to hit gold. The strong potential of the environment.

Of course, it's just potential, but in the process of advancing, it is inevitable that you will suffer some hidden injuries or encounter some accidents. Not everyone can become a gold-level strongman. Therefore, in the two choices of an uncertain future and a definite future, the vast majority of high-ranking people will choose the latter-after all, if three bloodlines are forced to be implanted, as long as it does not cause their own genes to collapse, then at the age of forty Before death, one can definitely become a strong person in the gold realm, and even have a chance to hit the realm of the sanctuary.

And once the attack on the sanctuary realm is successful, it may increase the lifespan-this is why those who are willing to implant artificial blood will agree to become experimental subjects, because no one can refuse the temptation of "obtaining great power" .

This is also the real reason why Sean has not allowed Leis to develop artificial blood in large quantities.

Reis, on the other hand, didn't expect Sean to know so much about the dirty little secrets of artificial blood. However, with the current technology, the bloodline experiment is indeed not mature enough—in fact, according to Sean’s idea, it’s best for Reis to join the Hayerson Research Institute, where the ancient blood faction is the true foundation of all bloodline experiments in the entire Miracle Continent People, in terms of the current progress in bloodline research, there is really no one who can surpass this faction.

According to the history in the game, the Millennium Covenant Empire was the first place where the bronze bloodline appeared. The origin of the later silver bloodline is somewhat unknown, but it was the first to successfully research the golden bloodline and organize all the artificial bloodlines into a perfect system. People—or organizations—are the ancient blood factions of the Haytham Institute.

Accompanied by Stalin, Sains and several other personal guards, Sean entered this secret underground research institute together.

There are not many people who have the right to freely enter and leave this underground research institute. Stalin counts as one, Leis counts as one, and Neil, William, Hela, Cecilia and others naturally count as well. Even the other Saines, who have almost the same authority as Stalin in the entire fortress, must be approved before they can enter this underground research institute.

Following the passage, Xiao En found that the passage of the institute had obviously been rebuilt, and the scale was much larger. And it's not just the expansion, the road that was originally just one road has become all-round, and even the entrance has been modified-this part, Xiao En can clearly see that it is the crypt cold spider's credit. These guys who like to dig caves are the best at rebuilding underground passages. Obviously, under Xina's instruction, the entire underground of the Xiadi Fortress has become a huge and intricate labyrinth.

And stationed in this labyrinth, apart from the Earth Shadow Demon Blade under the responsibility of Harding and Rotikabas, the Crypt Frost Spider produced by the Crypt Frost Spider Queen also occupies an extremely important part.

If I want to make a metaphor, then the Pit Cold Spider is a real army, while the Earth Shadow Demon Blade is more like a sharp knife army, or an expert army.

Ever since Xiao En entered this huge underground palace, he has felt the gazes of countless gazes - being able to make him feel the gazes of the gazers naturally proves that the strength of these people will not be too strong, probably around the golden level . But the weird thing is that Sean can only feel someone watching him, but he can't tell where these people are hiding. This makes Sean clearly realize a problem: in this huge underground palace, they are here This is their home field.

"Is it a vampire or a demon?" Sean asked casually.

"All of them." Stalin replied, "Lord Xiao En, although I am in control and responsible for the entire fortress, to be honest, this underground palace...is really not under my control. So even I don't know about it. What kind of race are the guardians lurking in the shadows and darkness?"

"Oh?" Sean's interest was obviously raised, "You are not responsible for the underground palace? Who is responsible for it? Harding?"

Sean didn't say the name of Rotikabas, this guy doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he doesn't know where he went.

"Neither." Stalin smiled, and seemed to be very happy that Xiao En guessed the person in charge wrongly, "It's Lady Hina."

"Xina?" Sean was really taken aback for a moment, "I didn't expect that she has grown up too."

Hina Vorst, Alfred's daughter, signed a contract with the Crypt Frost Spider Queen with the help of Andrew, and she has the special blood of the Crypt Frost Spider. Although she can't give birth to Crypt Frost Spiders, But she has the ability to control the cold crypt spider. He has studied under William, Neil, Reina, Rotika Bass and others successively. He is extremely skilled in spears and possesses certain sword skills. Moreover, under the training of William and Neil, although he cannot be regarded as an outstanding general, he is also a good general. Possess certain strategic vision and command ability.

"The Earth Shadow Demon Blade troops only have a thousand people, so it's okay to guard some key points, but if you really want them to guard this underground palace, it's really beyond their reach, and this underground palace was also created by the Crypt Frost Spider. Yes, those eight-legged guys also have a strong home court advantage here." Stalin explained with a smile, "Although Lady Hina is not very good at frontal battles, in her home court, relying on those eight-legged guys Guy, she is undefeated.... Lord William asked us to rehearse an offensive and defensive drill before, except for the Wings of Condemnation, no troop was able to break through to the gate of the laboratory."

Hearing Stalin's words, Xiao En's expression finally became serious: "The Wing of Condemnation is already a sixth-level army...In this underground palace, the Crypt Spider actually has the level of a seventh-level army?...The Crypt Spider is just It is a monster of level four or five, which is equivalent to the strength of the silver level, it is impossible to have such a strong strength."

The sixth-level army is already the limit of the general army.

The seventh-level army is a field of qualitative change, at least all members must be high-ranking silver. However, the situation of monsters is different from that of humans. The attack methods of monsters are relatively simple, and there are no divisions such as occupations. If it is the Cold Spider Knight or the Cold Spider Mage and the like, it may be easier for Sean to accept that they have the level of a seventh-level army.

"Lord William was quite puzzled at the beginning, but after understanding the situation, he became less confused." Stalin explained, "This underground palace was built by crypt spiders, and they move freely here. And to be honest... Xiao Mr. En, the situation in this underground palace is more complicated than you imagined. It is directly connected to the underground secret room of the Black Swan Castle, and there are a total of 30,000 crypt spiders living in it. The cold cave spiders swarmed in, attacking from all directions. Even if the Wing of Condemnation has a level 6 level, it can only display the strength of level 4 or 5 here. Coupled with the command of the cold cave spider and Lord Hina, Now these eight-legged guys are not just reckless monsters."

"I see." Hearing Stalin's explanation, Sean understood a lot.

It turns out that it's not just that the cold spiders in the crypt have become stronger, the army that entered the underground palace has also been weakened, and the strength gap between the two sides has become even greater due to the ebb and flow. More importantly, the Crypt Frost Spider has a size of 30,000, and Xiao En has clearly understood how difficult it is to train an advanced army, so it is not an easy task to really want to capture this laboratory.

But it is a pity that these cold crypt spiders can only play their due value in this underground palace. Once they are allowed to fight on the surface, they will be the ones whose strength is greatly reduced. I'm afraid that even the strength of the fifth-level army can't be fully utilized, at best it can only be equivalent to the fourth-level army. This is really not of much value and effect on the current Void Principality. Only in this underground palace can it be regarded as a treasure. Make the most of it.

However, in this way, it is tantamount to tying Hina here completely, which makes Xiao En feel quite sorry.

After all, after possessing the bloodline of the Pit Cold Spider, Hina's potential is not as low as her father Alfred's, and it will be a matter of time before she steps into the Sanctuary. If it is cultivated well, it may even reach the realm of legend—after all, the blood of the Crypt Frost Spider is not a synthetic blood, but a real natural blood. Although the way of activation is a little special, it is still worthy of the lowest level legendary bloodline.

After turning around a long corridor behind the entrance of the passage, everyone came to an open space like a cave, where dozens of larger crypt spiders were lying quietly on the ground.

These crypt cold spiders are almost two meters tall when standing, and their body length is more than three meters. Compared with the huge abdomen, the front body is slightly smaller. No matter the premise, the abdomen or even the four pairs of legs on the left and right sides have no hair. Has a metallic texture. However, the chelicerae are relatively thick, and there are extremely sharp fangs at the front end. Just looking at this part, one can know that the penetrating power and strength are very strong.

The Crypt Cold Spider Guard, a powerful cold spider species that is responsible for the close-up safety of the Crypt Cold Spider Queen, is a level five monster in the true sense. In addition to the conventional attack methods of pounce on food, it also has special abilities such as spewing ice threads and cold air attacks. means of attack. Without an adventure team equipped with more than two heavy shield warriors, it would be very difficult even to deal with a crypt cold spider guard alone - of course, powerful adventurers are not included in this list.

Seeing the dozen or so crypt spider guards, Stalin laughed: "This time, I have been honored by Mr. Xiao En, and Mrs. Hina already knew that we were coming....I came here a few times before. At that time, it would be a great honor for Lady Hina to arrange for a cold crypt spider to pick me up."

While saying this, Stalin skillfully found a cold crypt spider nearby, jumped on it, and sat on the joint between the chest and abdomen. It was only at this time that Xiao En realized that the connection point of these cold crypt spiders could just carry a person, and it really looked like a seat.

Afterwards, several people sat on these cold crypt spiders one after another, and when these cold crypt spiders saw everyone sitting up, they immediately got up and quickly crawled towards the depths.

Xiao En, who was sitting on it, discovered that although these cold crypt spiders walked extremely fast in the underground palace, they didn't feel any bumps. On the contrary, they walked very smoothly and steadily, as if they were galloping while sitting on flat ground. in the same comfortable carriage. In particular, the cold air emitted by these crypt cold spider guards just rightly formed a force field like a protective film, offsetting the cold and strong wind brought about by the rapid advance.

But even with these crypt cold spider guards leading the way, it took Xiao En and others a lot of time to reach the entrance of the laboratory.

Sean, who has basically mastered the law of time, is very clear about the flow of time, and the journey took almost half an hour. And Sean, who also has the concept of the law of space, knows that these cold crypt spiders did not take a detour, but went directly to the destination, which means that the underground palace has been expanded very large, and The entrance to the underground palace is extremely far from the previous laboratory entrance.

Standing at the door to welcome everyone is the current head of the Cold Spider Legion, Hina Vorst. 〖To be continued〗【】
