The Righteous Player(s)

phone-reading

"……what?"

Annan looked astonished.

This answer really surprised him.

He was deeply lost in confusion.

How did Nicholas do it? An artificial person who doesn't need a parent...

"Before answering this question," Bishop Daryl said in a low voice, pulling a book from the shelf. "Have you ever heard of the'Giving of the Cup' ceremony?"

"It sounds like a ceremony for a woman holding a cup."

"Indeed."

Daryl said, and sat back on the sofa.

Maybe it was because he was old, or because he was fatter again, just walking so few steps made him a little tired.

After the fat bald bishop sat down, he put the thick book on the table and let out a long breath. Take a sip of the black tea that has become slightly cooler in his cup.

Later, he turned the pages of the book and explained in a low voice: "Although the cup-holder is a righteous god, jade hope is also the cornerstone of human beings. But in many places, publicly acknowledging the belief in the cup-holder is still considered frivolous by the public. , And even mean behavior.

"However, even so, many aristocratic families still openly believe in cup-holders. This does not necessarily mean that they are indulging in sensuality...but to practice the ritual of the gift of the cup.

"If you want to perform this ceremony, you must publicize your belief in the cup-bearer for at least nine years, and hold an official and public worship ceremony in September each year. Then prepare a pure gold cup, which is filled with the performer. The blood that has not been FǔBài saved every month for nine months.

"Then the operator will add a tube of...liquid with its own genetic information, and then close the lid. After that, every month, the liquid level in the cup will drop by one-ninth, gradually revealing the embryos in the cup. ; And after nine months, a newborn baby will appear in the cup.

"——It's the so-called ‘child in the cup’."

Daryl replied.

...A clone?

This should be an emergency method used when the blood cannot be inherited... For example, infertility?

Annan was taken aback and asked, "Then in this cup...is it exactly the same as the surgeon?

"Roughly so. And on this basis, their bloodline will be optimized, their appearance will become more beautiful, their intelligence and physical strength will be more outstanding. Although not a child of a cup girl, they will also get some of his characteristics. ...

"Therefore, when some families have completely cut off their blood for some reasons..."

With that said, Darryl took a deep look at Annan, and then slowly replied: "They will hold the ceremony of'Giving the Cup'.

"The cup-holder does not require them to maintain faith in themselves. So after the baby is born, they can declare to give up their belief in the cup-holder... But as long as this ceremony is used, there will be traces of the cup-holder—— That is, the eyes turn red.

"The family with red eyes will still get a child if they hold the'Gift of the Cup', but the bloodline will not continue to be optimized. They will only get a child with a similar talent to the surgeon.

"Therefore, there will also be some merchant families who can purchase gold cups, or a rare aristocratic family with a'genius' born in the family. When they hope to continue the glory of a generation of families, this ceremony will be held. But in more cases, it is still When the bloodline is about to be cut off, the'last resort' used when leaving the seeds.

"--And this is a typical'artificial human that needs a sample of a father or mother to be made'. Although it borrows the power of the righteous god, it is not operated by the cup-holder, nor is it the **** of the cup-holder Surgery.

"'Rituals' belong to human power, not to gods. Such man-made humans are still unnaturally born in nature."

When Bishop Daryl said this, he paused: "I think you have guessed it."

"...For example, the Royal Family of Noah?"

Annan asked softly.

If he wants to talk about the red-eyed family, he can only think of this...

Bishop Daryl nodded slowly.

...That's it.

This statement answers one of Annan's doubts.

That's why Philip dared to openly believe in the cup-bearer as the heir to the royal family in a country that widely believed in the Silver Sir. It will not even be regarded as misconduct by others.

This is a tradition instead.

Because the royal family of Noah has actually cut off blood once. Now it is renewed...

When was it cut off?

Thinking about it carefully, Annan didn't seem to have heard of what brothers and sisters the King has now.

Maybe in Henry VIII's father's generation, the natural bloodline was completely cut off.

Suddenly, an idea came to Annan's mind:

——Could it be that Nicholas appeared in Noah and not elsewhere because Henry VIII was a human being?

"What about Nicholas?"

After understanding that there are artificial humans in this world, Annan immediately noticed the problem: "His technique of creating artificial humans is better than that of a woman holding a cup?"

Hearing what Annan said, Darryl sighed.

"You are really smart, Your Highness Annan. And you are very keen...

"You might be right what you said before-what Nicholas created can indeed be called a monster.

"But it's not because they are ugly, and it's not because they don't have intelligence. It's the opposite...

"The artificial humans made by Nicholas can be considered handsome and beautiful even by the strictest aesthetic standards. You can call them Chéng Rén-with the Hermetic sage stone and some cheap materials. ChéngRén can be easily synthesized in the flask.

"Their bodies are strong and healthy, free from disease, they are even very smart, and they are very united with each other-considering the implantation of common sense and the convenience of life, Nicholas tied their minds together and shared one from the beginning. Soul. Therefore, there will be no conflicts between his creations, and the efficiency of work and study is also very high. It is better to call it “them” or even “him”.

"I have to admit that this is indeed a better species than human beings. Nicholas has indeed created new lives and new races...just like gods.

"However, there is a fatal problem with his creation. The person who discovers the problem is the mother of the moth who is in charge of the concept of'pregnancy'."

"Although these creations ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can be born only on the stone of the sage, without human flesh and blood. But after they are born...they can reproduce each other normally through the relationship between men and women, like human However, it is impossible to give birth to offspring with human beings."

Annan's pupils dilated slightly.

What did he realize: "So they... finally lost control?"

"No."

Darryl said simply: "If twelve righteous gods are staring at it, it will cause the situation to get out of control, then this is the disaster of the era.

"But it's actually not much different from the Disaster of the Era-they didn't lose control, not because they won't lose control, but because we found it in time.

"As a superior substitute for all aspects of human beings, common sense that has been infused into the entire human society, looks the same as humans, but has reproductive isolation from humans, and can multiply as quickly as humans... For humans, they are more Horse people are much scary.

"This is the cause of Nicholas' death and his crime.

"Finally after his death, all his research results and writings were completely destroyed, all the Hermetic Sage Stones that had been made were destroyed, all Chéng Rén were captured and executed and burned, and the body was also destroyed. Was completely destroyed. The memory of the transcendent who knew this matter was cleansed. Therefore, even if it is a nightmare, there will be no traces of this matter.

"From the perspective of an alchemist, Nicholas is indeed the greatest alchemist in the world, the second Hermes. He has truly accomplished a great cause belonging to a **** in a human body...

"But he betrayed all mankind for his great cause."

Daryl said slowly: "That's why I said, if that person is really Nicholas. Even if it is only related to him...

"Then our trouble will be big, Your Highness Annan."
