Chapter 187: Boundaries

Late at night, Zhang Cheng returned to his lodgings and did not fall asleep, but continued to hide in his room alone, concentrating on the new theoretical knowledge he had gained from the dragon and the contents of the dragon crystal stone engraved by the Valyrians.

In particular, the part about blood magic and human body transformation is equivalent to opening a new door.

According to his understanding, the dragon's initial modification of the Valyrians was equivalent to combining part of its own genes with human genes to produce an entirely new species that resembled a half-human, half-dragon.

Later, with the dilution of intermarriage and blood, the proportion of human genes began to increase more and more, and finally slowly became the image of gold and silver hair and purple eyes that the world later became familiar with.

In fact, this is just the appearance of ordinary Valyrians, like the Targaryen family from the bottom of society, but the real "dragon kings" remain close to half dragons and half humans, for example, the stone tablets record that the dragon kings of all generations have a pair of iconic vertical pupils, and their limbs and fingers are more slender and powerful than ordinary people.

According to Valyrian tradition, every enthroned dragon king is required to perform a terrifying ritual to awaken the sleeping power within his body, and only those who pass the ritual are qualified to become the ruler of Valyria.

As for the losers......

Well, it is impossible for a dead man to become a dragon king.

Zhang Cheng felt that this transformation was very similar to the dragonmen created by the Azeroth Guardian Dragons.

Although he has no idea of transforming himself at all, he doesn't mind using it to create a batch of tough cannon fodder at some critical moment.

"Life...... Indenture...... Give...... Hatch...... Rebirth......

I see! The so-called transformation is essentially reinvention and regeneration. As for the person's previous memories, personality, and way of thinking, they will all disappear and be replaced by a completely new creature.

Interesting...... It's so much fun...... It's like genetic modification and cloning in a science fiction movie.

It's just that this technology doesn't seem to be very mature, and once the body of the transformed person can't withstand the tearing of the powerful magical power, the cells will collapse in an instant, leading to inevitable death......"

Just as Zhang Cheng was muttering to himself while carefully experimenting with mice, the magic sword placed on the table suddenly asked: "Dear master, I don't understand, why are you so cautious, with the power you currently have, do you still need to see the faces of those stupid nobles? You can kill all the guys who dare to resist, and then ascend the throne as the king and conquer the entire continent." ”

"Hmph! Yes, I do have the strength to conquer this land, but what about after the conquest? I need to spend a lot of time and energy to maintain my rule, put down rebellions, and restore agriculture and trade, what good will it do me? And most importantly, I can't guarantee that when I go to the next world, I will be able to have the absolute advantage I have when I have the power I have now? If not, then I have to learn to gain an advantage under the rules, as you see me doing now, and use the rules flexibly to seize the initiative. Zhang Cheng gave the answer with a sneer.

It is not easy to break the original rules, this is the restriction he has set himself, and it is also to better hide his identity, integrate into the environment, and ensure his own safety.

If he is like an idiot, he arrogantly rebels everywhere he goes, and clashes with the natives of the local area, it will not be long before he dies in some unknown corner.

"What do you mean...... Studying?" the magic sword asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure.

Zhang Cheng nodded without thinking: "Yes! I want to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to ask those conspiracy masters for ways to play with people's hearts." I'm invincible from now on, so why not enjoy this Game of Thrones, and even if I lose a battle of wits, I can turn the tide with the power of magic. So shut up and stop bothering with my research. ”

"Well, my evil master, I'm actually quite satisfied with pushing a young girl into the abyss of power, though it's a pity that a little violence and bloodlust are missing. Although the previous masters have also done a lot of evil things, they are not like you, after a deep understanding of what evil is, they still unswervingly embark on the path of evil, in my opinion, your whole soul exudes a melancholy, deep and dead atmosphere. ”

"Hahahaha!Evil?Can you tell me who defines evil and justice?Why do you think what I do is evil?" Zhang Cheng laughed and turned around.

"Hmm, don't you think what you've done is evil?" said the magic sword's tone with undisguised surprise.

"No, of course not, why should I admit that I am evil?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head slightly, put down the notes in his hand, and stretched out a finger to himself.

"First of all, to correct a little bit, many people think that the main difference between evil and good is motives, but they are actually wrong.

Think about it, if a person is doing something good to help others, and the result is an irreparable disaster, or even the death of thousands of people, do you think his actions are evil or righteous?

Do you think a man who killed his companion out of malice, but who inadvertently sabotaged the research of a terrible virus that would kill tens of millions of people if it leaked?

There is no doubt that the former may have good intentions, but the disaster he brought to the whole world is the real evil in my opinion;

Although the latter committed murder, he saved countless lives, which is true justice.

Many times, the line between good and evil is blurred at all, and I personally prefer to judge by the results.

With the examples out of the way, let's take another look at my behavior.

I admit that I am using Sansa to get revenge on Berish, and I admit that I have pushed this otherwise kind girl into the vortex of power.

But beware, if my plan succeeds, the civilians suffering from war and chaos will be liberated, and the continent will be restored to peace.

This means that the consequences of my actions are beneficial to the majority of people, and if most people can get benefits, how can they be considered evil?

So pay attention to your wording, instead of being evil, I should be called the messenger of justice. ”

After hearing this, he didn't know whether it was a quibble or a sophistry, and the magic sword fell into silence for five minutes, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

"Alasβ€”I really don't know whether to praise you for your eloquence and wisdom, or for your shamelessness. Well, from now on we are the messengers of justice. Believe me, if one day you meet the devils of Bato's hell, you will become best friends with them. These guys will be more than happy to talk to you about the art of deception. ”

"Hehe, I'm looking forward to meeting these devils, it's going to be very, very interesting......"
