December 27, 9:30 a.m. Silvermoon Federation time.

After several days of light snow and cloudy weather, it finally cleared up today.

Anjou and Janice couldn't wait to go shopping.

Xia Zuo woke up in the bedroom.

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I rescued Ross last night.

He had no choice but to take a half-day vacation with Bald Head. As soon as he woke up today, he immediately had breakfast and then went out to train in the manor.

Before going to bed last night, Xia Zuo lay in bed and recalled what happened to Scarface, and felt a sense of joy in his heart.

I'm glad I didn't think about getting Scarface's bloodline mark and using [Bloodline Curse] to gain experience!

Some time ago, while monitoring the movements of mixed-blood mages in the Silver Moon Federation, Xia Zuo determined that the blood magic talent spell of casting curses through the air did not exist in the Church of Strange Demons. It was definitely the best in blood magic and was very representative. .

Using [Blood Curse] to gain experience in Stillwater Town, deep in the interior, there is no guarantee that it will not attract the prying eyes of the Strange Demon Church.

From the perspective of ensuring your own safety, perhaps using ordinary and common firearms and ammunition to gain experience is the safest way.

In the backyard of the witcher master's manor.

Xia Zuo landed in the training ground, emerging from a swirling turquoise whirlwind.

Rexall lay bored by the stove, meditating with his eyes closed, and woke up as soon as he heard the movement in the yard.

"You're here." The bald man stood up, stretched, and squinted at the sun in the sky. "It's really a rare good weather, isn't it? I haven't been exposed to the sun for several days."

"Good morning, Master." Xia Zuo also felt that the weather was very comfortable, unlike Jingshui Town where there was no sunshine all day long and the weather was always gray and drizzled from time to time.

If you really want to say it, the Silver Moon Federation is like heaven compared to Stillwater Town.

In terms of food, drink and fun, the Silver Moon Federation is at least ten times richer than Stillwater Town. Medical care, public security environment, etc. are not comparable to Jingshui Town at all.

Even the original old buildings in Beicheng District are cleaner than the main road in Jingshui Town...

Xia Zuo thought of this and asked in a casual tone, "By the way, Master. I have previously obtained permanent residence in the Federation as a [Category 1 Alchemist Talent], so people from other regions can also use the same status. Do you deserve this right?"

Rexor put his hands on his hips, took a breath of fresh air, and exhaled a white mist.

"You can, but it's very, very difficult. The Silver Moon Federation is one of the safest and most comfortable places within the territory of the Mage Temple.

“The conditions for obtaining federal residency are very demanding.

"Either, after becoming a high-level mage, come here to serve as a resident mage, or like me and Seret, come to the federation as a consultant. Or... you can only enter the federation based on your own skills."

Rexor spread his hands forward and said:

“Compared to people born in other places on this continent, people born in the Silver Moon Federation are the happiest.

"Their birth environment is much better than that of people in other places on the mainland. When walking on the street, you don't have to worry about being smashed on the head. When walking in the woods, you don't have to be wary of monsters. They have stable jobs, regular holidays, and travel. Convenient trains are available.

"If I really want to say there's something wrong with it, it might be that it's too comfortable, and it's easy for people to forget the potential dangers. If a crisis breaks out occasionally, if we don't handle it well, the number of casualties will be higher than the total number of casualties in other areas during the same period. many."

Rexor picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, then waved his hand and walked to the weapon rack, "Okay, no more words. Let's start training."

Xia Zuo took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, picked up the armor and put it on, recalling the wild V-shaped alchemy armor that could withstand bullets.

Without considering the physical damage caused by the bullet rolling after entering the human body, only penetrating injuries are considered.

The power of revolver bullets within the effective range is roughly equivalent to the [sharp] energy bullet with a power level of 11 points. (Note: The theoretical value is calculated based on the kinetic energy of the muzzle and combined with existing damage data. Factors such as special warheads and special materials are not considered.)

The modified gun used by Andrew, which looks like a bolt-action rifle, visually inspects the caliber of the ammunition used to be 7.62x54mm rifle bullets. Its power within the effective range is approximately equal to a [sharp] energy bullet with a power of about 55 points.

This damage, this power, let alone the mail armor, even if the plate armor comes, it can be easily torn into pieces.

But the Crazy V-type blocked several shots, and the shield placed on his left arm was even more indestructible. It not only withstood the explosion damage of the explosives, but also perfectly protected its owner in the hail of bullets.

If it were not for the inability to completely offset the impact, the wearer would be temporarily frozen in the torrent of bullets coming towards the face. The protective power of the Crazy V-shaped weapon is unparalleled, equivalent to adding more than ten centimeters of steel plates to the body.

Xia Zuo thought that if he had fifty or sixty small earth or wind elements, he could also use protective spells to do this.

But the consumption of energy or vitality is huge.

Because every time you resist several rounds of bullets, you have to cast protective spells again to maintain your own spell barrier or spell shield.

Therefore... condensing the elemental body as soon as possible is the right way to save life.

With a thought in mind, Xia Zuo patted the mail armor and asked, "Master, what alchemy props did you install on the elemental body? I mean, the kind of props that provide protective functions like armor."

Rexor came to the training ground carrying a mace and shield. "It's different from the elemental body you will condense in the future. My elemental body is an old style from the previous era. The alchemy props installed on it, Most of them are monster scales. Of course, you don’t just pull out the monster scales and put them on. Instead, you use bio-alchemy methods to process them to remove toxicity and other side effects, and then put them back on.”

"Bioalchemy..." Xia Zuo rubbed his chin and his eyes flickered, "You mean, in addition to the products of strange object alchemy, the products of bioalchemy can also be installed on the elemental body?"

"Yeah, yes." Rexor thought for a second and then said:

“But don’t think about using monster scales.

"The Silver Moon Federation has so many products of Rare Item Alchemy, why bother using rare monster scales? Besides, the quality of the products of Rare Item Alchemy is much better than the monster scales processed by Bioalchemy. According to your alchemy school's rules It can be said that the monster scales are components of the first-generation elemental body, while the product of strange object alchemy is the second-generation."

Rexor is right, Xia Zuo himself does not need the monster scales processed by bioalchemy...

But the hemogen servants living deep in the interior can use it!

If we can collect local materials and collect usable monster scales in Jingshui Town, and use local production equipment for processing, the self-protection ability of the hematin servants will be greatly improved.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, put on his mail armor, picked up his weapon and shield, "Let's get started, Master."

Rexor looked at Xia Zuo who was inexplicably excited. Without saying anything, he put down the visor on his helmet and charged forward with the hammer raised.

Xia Zuo once received an introductory textbook on bioalchemy from Beatrice - "Encyclopedia of Biological Organ Knowledge".

Anatomy focuses more on teaching students to correctly understand, handle and separate animal organs.

On this basis, the "Encyclopedia of Biological Organ Knowledge" also includes plants and monsters within the scope of research.

In addition, detailed knowledge such as the evolutionary history of organs and the reasons why some organisms have such organs while others do not in the same environment are also mentioned in this book.

When Xia Zuo was studying this book by himself, he was purely rushing to unlock the health bar. He did not carefully think about other uses of bioalchemy, and only treated it as an alchemy for making secret breathing medicine.

Upon hearing Rexor's words today, Xia Zuo immediately realized that his understanding of bioalchemy was too one-sided.

Can't blame him.

In Starry Night Academy, the knowledge of bioalchemy that can be accessed is indeed limited to using this alchemy to make potions. After all, there are no powerful monsters in the Western Continent.

There is absolutely no need to teach the knowledge of using monster materials in a place like that.

Now, it's time to learn about bioalchemy.

After training at Bald Na, Xia Zuo went home to have dinner with Anruer and Janice, and then went to the Mage Guild of Yingrui Academy to redeem the bioalchemy textbook written by the Bioalchemist Association.

Not all textbooks used by schools are written by the schools.

Textbooks on herbal alchemy and mineral alchemy are compiled by the corresponding alchemist associations.

The same goes for bioalchemy.

And since he has not joined these alchemist associations and does not have the status of a formal member, Xia Zuo can only redeem textbooks from apprentice level to proficient level. Textbooks from expert level and above require corresponding membership levels to unlock and redeem them.

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when Xia Zuo put down a pile of books on the desk under Janice's admiring gaze.

Anruer was grading her homework, leaving the task of peeling the fruit to Janice.

The little girl put the fruit plate on the empty space on the table, looked at the cover of the book curiously, and muttered, "Uncle Xia Zuo, you are so hardworking. Sister Anruer said that you read until three or four in the morning for several nights in a row. I ordered it, and now I have brought back so many books that are difficult to understand.”

Xia Zuo scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at the fruit plate, "Have you eaten the fruit? Do you want some?"

"I've had lunch~" Janice said with a smile, her eyes fell on the fruit plate and she hesitated for a moment, stretched out her right hand to take a piece of apple, then stretched out her left hand to take another piece, "I'll take one piece and bring it to Sister Anruer. one slice."

"Go on, go on." Xia Zuo touched Janice's head and closed the study door after she went out.

I am destined to read until the early hours of the morning again tonight...

Xia Zuo sat down at the desk and followed his habit and called up the perspective of the hematin servants to see what the objects of observation were doing.

Alas? The Beast Arena where Servant No. 1 is located is closed?

Xia Zuo sat up straight, bent his arms on the edge of the table, and propped his chin to control Servant No. 1.

The Beast Arena was empty, the doors on the walls were closed, and only the door to the backstage passage was ajar.

Could it be that Scarface didn't come back on time, so Doom mobilized his men and asked them to search for Scarface in the wild?

Xia Zuo brought up the perspective of Servant No. 5.

This is really the case.

Doom was driving a motorcycle, leading five or six gunmen behind him toward the reservoir. It was still more than 30 kilometers away from the forest where Scarface died, and it was expected to arrive there in about an hour and a half.

The place where the two detectives burned the body last night was one to two hundred meters south of the reservoir wall.

If the convoy patrolling the reservoir hadn't looked carefully this morning, they wouldn't have been able to spot the bodies burned to ashes beside the wall.

It makes sense that Doom only came to the reservoir to investigate at this time.

Xia Zuo let the servant No. 6 who was staying in the low building of the reservoir fly out, went to the dense forest to the north of the reservoir, and found a dry tree hole to hide.

Then, he called up the perspective of Servant No. 4.

This minion is responsible for tracking Andrew.

The two detectives were taking turns driving the carriage, driving hard on the winding mountain path.

Xia Zuo sensed the location of Servant No. 4 through Servant No. 1 in Jingshui Town. The latter was about sixty or seventy kilometers north of Jingshui Town, deep in the Mogus Mountains.

The mountain trade route they took was a relatively safe road where they could occasionally see other people. They didn't have to worry about accidentally breaking into monster territory. The only thing they had to watch out for were passers-by.

So when Andrew was sleeping, he was holding his long gun and leaning on the driver's seat, not daring to enter the car and lie down, lest Ross, who looked young and inexperienced, be treated as a lamb to be slaughtered.

Seeing that they were getting along well, Xia Zuo turned off all other perspectives, leaving only the perspective of Servant No. 5 following Doom, and took advantage of the other party's time to read the books on the desk.

There are 5 proficiency-level bioalchemy textbooks.

Three of them are in a set, titled "The Function of Bones".

The other two books are "Monster Shells and Scales" and "The Relationship between Magic Grass, Magic Minerals, and Monsters".

When he mentioned "bones", Xia Zuo subconsciously connected it with bone sacs, and immediately opened the first book and read the introduction.

Bones are made up of three parts: periosteum, bone and marrow.

The periosteum is rich in nerves and blood vessels, which deliver nutrients and blood to the bones.

Inside the bone is the marrow.

It exists in most living objects with vitality. Whether they are ordinary humans or monsters, as long as they can breathe and have bones, they will have bone marrow.

The original words in the introduction say this:

[Bone marrow is very important.

【It is soft and full of blood.

[Take the bone marrow of normal people as an example. There are two types of bone marrow in our bodies—red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow.

[Red bone marrow has hematopoietic function, it can also defend, immunize and repair physical trauma.

[Although yellow bone marrow is composed of fat, when the human body is highly anemic or loses blood, it can be converted into red bone marrow to strengthen hematopoietic function. 】

When Xia Zuo read this, his eyes widened and he blinked.

In his previous life, he was not a graduate of biological sciences, nor had he studied classical or modern medicine.

Although in common sense, there is knowledge related to [bone marrow is responsible for blood production], but I have never thought deeply about it, nor have I connected [bone marrow] with the [blood recovery] data on the character template...

Not to mention using bioalchemy knowledge to explain the principles of blood magic.

Now that I think about it, the bone marrow may be deeply related to the blood power of a pure-blood mage.
