"You come with me."

Emilian gave the apprentice a look, and as the two entered, the latter closed the door to the potions shop and locked it with a deadbolt to keep the probing eyes out.

"I'll just tell you straight, you're from the Southland, right?"

"Nanguo?"

"Oh, that's what we're called here, referring to people who live on the southern continent."

After the development of the seafaring industry, people's understanding of the world has been further improved, according to the report brought back by the navigators, there is another people living in the southern continent, their belief system, cultivation methods have nothing in common with the people of the Kingdom of Dom, there is no faith, and there is no complete military system.

That people have survived to this day because they have developed unparalleled physique and fighting skills in extremely harsh environments.

The navigators who had fled said they had met a southerner who had single-handedly dismantled four ships.

In Emilien's mind, there is no such thing as a Dom who can tame an ice dragon, and compared to them, this person is simply a different species in human skin.

"No, my village is deep in a canyon."

In his time, the whole world was occupied by the believers of the Protoss, and they established city-states in various places, and before the outbreak of war, Gu Yun would often go to the city to exchange some new things with the believers with the objects he hunted.

"In that case, what you want to learn from me shouldn't be ordinary pharmacy, right?"

A person who deals with ice dragons will definitely not be interested in the work of collecting medicine to heal injuries.

However, Emilian changed her mind, as she was no ordinary apothecary in the first place, and as a witcher, she managed to combine the two disciplines to create Potions.

And for her, Gu Yun is tantamount to a research sample falling from the sky.

"That's right, I recently encountered a monster ......"

…………………………

"In other words, they can take on the form of someone else by contact, eh...... It's a bit like a case I heard recently. ”

After patiently listening to Gu Yun's description, Emilian took out a file and spread it out on the table.

"A few days ago, the Kiriyama Hermit Society discovered a monster that can disguise itself as a human, which explains why they were able to successfully abscond under a heavily guarded patrol after attacking the baron's son, in this case, a demon hunter who had been registered with the Kirky Mountain Hermit Society for more than ten years."

The file that was spread out was the announcement about werewolves issued by the Kirishama Hermit Society, and some people believed that there were still more werewolves lurking in the Holy Capital, and now more witchers have begun to investigate secretly.

"The Holy Oil and Silver Weapons are said to verify their identities and deal effective damage, and we can simply divide the Changelings you just mentioned into two types - the two Changelings you killed can be considered the first generation products, and the Changelings that you guess the Holy Water and Silver Weapons may not work, we can tentatively classify them as the second generation products."

Emilian started working, in fact, during the time that Gu Yun was away, she had been working on the case of the werewolf.

And what Gu Yun mentioned just now just met her guess.

"The interesting question is, how did the second generation, which has more powerful capabilities, come about?"

"Their bloodlines are purer?"

Gu Yun guessed with his own personal experience.

In his opinion, the relationship between the first and second generations is similar to that between wurms and real dragons, most wurms have some of the characteristics of dragons, but they have a tyrannical personality and are extremely aggressive, but their actual combat power is much weaker than that of dragons, just like an inferior product of evolutionary failure.

"Indeed, a few years ago, when I was wandering away from a border village, I discovered a virus that carried this virus is a monster similar to a bat, and the individuals whose blood is sucked by them will become ill and die violently in a short period of time, but after the death of these individuals, their bodies will become a breeding ground for the virus, becoming the walking dead, these corpses have inherited the characteristics of the host to some extent, are afraid of the sun, like to walk at night, and the witchers who are injured by them will soon be infected with the same virus."

In Emilyanne's view, this is the difference between pure-bloods and inferior bloodlines, what she refers to as "a generation".

"But in subsequent research, I found an interesting individual - he was completely eroded by the virus, but still retained consciousness, not only his physical strength is different from ordinary people, but he also has the ability to command other walking corpses."

"And then?"

"Then I managed to catch him and did some in-depth research by the way."

The in-depth research she was referring to was, naturally, to tie the other party to a stone platform and test him with various potions while retaining his consciousness.

"So I found an interesting phenomenon - he also became extremely tolerant of targeted exorcisms, but he could hardly damage weapons that worked for ordinary walking corpses, so I think the pedigree theory that people often talk about is not always true, and in many cases, the change from one generation to the second generation is not genetic but evolutionary."

"You mean to say that the shapeshifters I encountered have also evolved?"

This is indeed an angle that Gu Yun has never thought about, but after thinking about it, he feels that what Emilian said is very logical and logical.

Unlike most of the monsters he has encountered, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, and even the evil spirits he encounters in City X have the ability to think on their own.

If you have the ability to think, you will try to become stronger and overcome your weaknesses.

"After all, I haven't really seen a shapeshifter, and unless you can catch one and put it on the stone platform for me to study, I can't guarantee that my conclusion will be correct."

"Then if it were you, what would you do when you encountered the second generation of Changeling?"

Gu Yun decided to find out the experts' opinions.

"I'm going to take all the suspects up and study them, and if you get a hundred people, there's always one or two that will be right - but since you're asking me about it, I'm guessing you can't do that for some reason."

Emilian saw Gu Yun's ability, although the latter was not good at research, he was fully capable of directly killing all the objects of suspicion.

In fact, in Dom's history, when a similar situation arises, those in power often send troops to slaughter cities and villages in the spirit of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than spare one.

Gu Yun nodded, he didn't have the idea of becoming an internationally wanted criminal for the time being.

"It's a lot of trouble, but it's not completely impossible."

"For example?"

"For example...... Do you know why holy oil and silver weapons can damage monsters? ”
