Back at the ferry terminal, Princess Elizabeth was picked up by the palace guards waiting at the pier.

Sean retrieves his horse and notices an unmarked carriage parked on the side of the road.

Lieutenant Colonel Frank sat in the carriage and beckoned to himself from the window. Sean tied the horse to the back of the carriage and got into it.

Facing Lieutenant Colonel Frank, Sean couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"I wonder if Your Excellency is looking for me?" asked Sean.

Frank smiled mysteriously: "I'll take you somewhere." ”

He took out a strip of cloth and motioned for Sean to blindfold himself.

Sean particularly hates this kind of betrayal behavior, but the guy in front of him is not an ordinary person, so Sean has to do it.

The carriage seemed to enter the city, and various noises were heard in the carriage. Sean waited patiently until the carriage stopped, and he was helped out of the carriage for a short distance and down a long flight of steps.

The blindfold was removed, and Sean found himself in a dimly damp dungeon, with a heart-rending scream in his ears.

Frank said, "Welcome to the Imperial Special Prison!"

"I don't want to be in this blood-smelling place, it reminds me of hell. Sean said unceremoniously.

"Hell, yes, this is hell. Frank didn't feel offended in the slightest, "In fact, I wouldn't have come here if it wasn't necessary." Every time I go out, I take a shower three times. ”

Walking through the long corridor, Sean followed Frank to the depths of the dungeon, his figure pulled by the oil lamp, which was very strange.

Behind the thick iron gates are rooms separated by iron bars. Frank stopped in front of one of the iron fences.

Here is a taxidermy samurai dressed in full-body chain mail, specially erected, his hands on a giant sword, his eyes deep. If it weren't for the fangs that bared from the corners of his mouth, he would have been considered a great general.

"He was really a general, a general at the beginning of the Fourth Reich, brave and good at war, and innumerable for his exploits, but it is not found in any history books or private biographies.

The founding emperor of the Fourth Reich even promised to marry him the pearl of his palm. But he was a bloodthirsty man, and he killed several sons of the founding emperor of the Fourth Empire, so that the old emperor had to pass the throne to one of his nephews. "I want to make it clear that this prison was not built by this dynasty. Successive imperial courts have wanted to know what it was like to be a blood warrior and a bloodthirsty person. ”

"Then why don't you send someone directly to the territory of the northern Assyrian kingdom?" Sean questioned.

"Of course there are, but they are like sheep in the mouth of a wolf, and there is no return. The reason is very simple, because of the difference in appearance, the blood warrior has a stout physique and is very abnormal. As for the barbarians, they are just too ugly. Monsters like the Bloodthirsty lurk between you and me. ”

Frank's joke is not so funny. Sean and Frank continued on their way.

In an open room, a corpse is laid flat on a platform, the corpse is dissected, and someone is making specimens.

Sean was used to seeing blood and death, but he still felt disgusting.

"Blood Samurai?" Sean asked.

"That's right. Frank nodded.

"What did you find?" asked Sean.

"As you can see, his body structure is the same as you and mine, but it is thicker than us, for example, his heart and lungs are larger than our normal humans, so they are more athletic. But that's all. Frank Road.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, is this what you want me to see?" Sean was puzzled.

"Wizard Shaun. Seeing Sean's ugly face, Frank smiled and said, "This is a nickname given to you by someone who doesn't know the truth, and I think it's very appropriate." ”

"Your Excellency, I am not a wizard. Sean emphasized.

"Don't be nervous, this is not the time of theocracy. Science, we respect science. "I invited you here to give us advice on our research." ”

"We?"

"Yes. It is home to some of the country's best surgeons, biologists, chemists, and pharmacists. Each of them is eligible for the so-called Royal Society of Science, but they are unknown in the outside world. "They came here and spent countless sums of money on the empire, just to find a way to defeat the mighty ones. ”

"Do you think this power can be artificially controlled, or can it be artificially created?" Sean snapped.

"Exactly, it looks like you're looking for the right thing. Frank laughed.

"But I don't know anything about it. Sean wondered.

"But your judgment of human blood type is very enlightening for our research work. Frank said, "Based on this, we have conducted a study on the blood of the Blood Warriors. Besides......"

Frank paused: "You smashed a Blood Warrior on the battlefield with your own hands, and that can be attributed to luck, but in the extermination of the Benjamin Don Gang, you were unscathed by the assassination of a bloodthirsty man. ”

"You know that, too. Sean was taken aback.

Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Horns will not inform, but only his subordinates, who are too talkative, and it is difficult to guarantee that someone will be informant because of the huge amount of stolen money that Sean and Horns shared.

When Frank said this, he was also subtly reminding Sean that he could find a lot if he wanted to find Sean's handle.

Frank led Sean deeper into the room, where a living Blood Warrior was held in place by several thick chains, and several guys in white robes were using special blood drawers to draw blood from the Blood Warrior's body.

"Don't worry, he's already anesthetized and will have to sleep for at least a day before he wakes up. With chloroform, with the same dose, normal humans will die, while they won't. Not for fear of his pain, but to make him quiet. Frank explained, "These guys have a hard-hearted heart, and there's no way they're going to give in." ”

"This blood warrior, I knocked out on the battlefield?" Sean asked subconsciously.

"No, the one you captured has been dissected, the one you just saw. Frank said lightly, as if to say something insignificant.

"What do you do after the blood is drawn?" asked Sean.

"Imported into the bodies of ordinary humans, of course, death row inmates. ”

Sean decided to stay away from this man in the future.

"Seven death row inmates died, and three were still alive, but the blood transfusion didn't seem to have any effect on them, and they didn't become stronger because of the blood transfusion of the blood samurai. This also seems to prove that you are right, that human beings have different blood types, and only people with the same blood type can transfuse blood from each other.

But the problem is, it also proves that the blood of the Blood Samurai is no different from the blood of ordinary humans, because there are death row inmates who survive. That's why I asked you to be here, can you find anything out of it?" asked Frank.

Frank was full of expectations, and it seemed that there was no way for him to find him.

"I guess it's just a racial difference. Sean struggled to think through the wording, "For example, if you plant beans and get beans, you can't plant beans and get melons, right?"

"Of course not. Frank nodded and asked hesitantly, "Oh...... I know what you're thinking, my predecessors had blood warriors in a relationship with normal human women, you know? ”

"What you say is the same as what I want to say, but it is different. Sean said, "Have you ever seen a giraffe?"

"Of course I do. Frank Road.

"This involves the origin of the species, sir, do you have any religious beliefs?" asked Sean again.

"What a! Oh,. Seeing Sean rambling around, Frank, who has always been gentle and elegant, couldn't help but burst into foul language.

"Then I'm relieved. The doctrine says that God created all things, which is certainly not true. But skeptics can't explain the origin of the species. If the weather is dry and the grass on the ground is dead, then the deer can only eat the leaves of the small miscellaneous trees, and if even the low miscellaneous trees are dead, then they can only raise their heads and eat the leaves of the higher trees. After countless generations of cycles, those deer that could only graze with their heads down died, and only those with long giraffes survived, which is natural selection, natural selection. Sean said, "It's just my bold guess, I won't admit it to leaving this prison, otherwise a bunch of people will eat me." ”

Frank was dumbfounded, but felt that it made sense. But Frank is still not overshadowed by Sean's theory:

"Blood warriors are far more powerful than normal humans, and their IQs are normal, according to your theory, at the beginning of the birth of humans, they should be the only surviving human race, or at least the largest of the race. ”

"Your Excellency, you really don't look like a lieutenant colonel, but a scholar who has inquired into the truth, and has pointed out the loopholes in my suspicions. Sean said.

"How do you explain my doubts. Frank was unfazed by Sean's compliments.

"The difference between the first giraffe and the common deer, I call it 'variation', but this variation is passed on to the offspring, and the long neck becomes a stable state, which I call 'heredity'. ”

"I'm particularly interested in 'genetics'. Frank's eyes lit up.

"We can imagine that the state of normal humans is a dominant trait, and that the blood warrior exhibits a recessive trait, and that internal intermarriage gives birth to their own normal generation. When two different humans are married, they may be born as normal humans, but when these next generation of normal humans grow up, what about the marriage between them?"

"Ah, that seems to make sense. ”

Frank was successfully fooled by Sean, and if it was an experiment like Sean's, it would probably take more than a decade to know the results, and it would be difficult to do it if there were enough samples.

As for the ethics in this, both Sean and Frank deliberately ignored it. Sean is trying to get out, Frank really doesn't care, in Sean's eyes, Frank is much more terrifying than a blood warrior or a bloodthirsty.

Even if Frank gets the result he wants, the blood warriors have a short lifespan and a quick temper that is easy to revolt, which is one of the reasons why the northern barbarian empire has not been able to defeat the southern civilization for eight hundred years. Not many normal humans want to be like that.

Moreover, if the firearm is developed to be powerful enough, a single rifle can also make the Blood Samurai hate the battlefield.

In fact, combined with the ancient legends of this world, as well as clues such as the Great Xia Kingdom, Sean has a bold conjecture about this world, including the existence of blood warriors and bloodthirsters.

But this conjecture may not have been confirmed in Sean's lifetime.
