Upper Stratoia, Headquarters of the Immortal Throne, inside the Great White Tower.

Located at the top of the tower, in an office with a great view.

Legendary mage Charles. Preston was sitting behind his desk, his hands folded in front of him, covering the lower half of his face, and on the other side of the desk was Preston's student, who had only returned to Stan Shoja two days earlier. Rockfield.

“...... This time, the pure-blood faction can be said to have been completely defeated, the radicals are almost completely wiped out, and among the remaining pure-blood families, the majority of those who tend to befriend the Magic Association, and more importantly, the theory of the bloodline factor is currently in the hands of the Magic Association. ”

Rockfield concluded by recounting the events that took place at the wedding of the Elbiore family.

"The pure-blood sect has suffered from the gradual weakening of the bloodline power for many years, but as long as they can grasp the theory of the bloodline factor, they must not say that they will be restored to their former glory, at least, they can make many pureblood mages go further, this is the power they crave."

"But if the mystery of the bloodline is analyzed, the pure-blood sect will no longer have a reason to maintain, and every mage can rely on bloodline transformation to gain great power, right?"

Preston looked at the information on the desktop and said lightly.

After the theory of the bloodline factor was verified, one of the key tasks of the Immortal Throne was to complete the measurement of human chromosomes.

Different blood factors correspond to different characteristic traits, and these blood factors exist in different parts of different chromosomes, and the necromancers are currently concerned about whether there is a pattern to the existence of these blood factors, and to find this pattern.

It's a long job, but if it can be done, the whole world will be different.

One of the most central studies is the origin of magic and why humans are able to use it.

While other factions rely on world analysis to find the essence of this powerful energy source, the Necronomicon Department explores the causes of magic by studying various magical creatures, as well as humans themselves, but unfortunately, so far there has been little progress.

And if the study of chromosomes and blood factors is successful, it can at least solve the problem of how humans use magic.

But this work has just begun, the necromancer mages have encountered many difficulties, the observation magnification is not enough is one of the most prominent problems, relying on the traditional light microscope, although people can observe chromosomes, but want to study in more detail, the current level is far from enough, but the means of light microscopy, it seems that the end has been reached, and the mages need to find another way.

In addition, for the measurement of chromosomal components, the microscopic model of the control traits of the bloodline factor, these all need the help of other factions, and the Immortal Throne has not yet asked for help from the academic organizations of other factions, but it is only a matter of time.

"One more thing, teacher, I found traces of blood rock at Elbiore's house."

Rockfield added that at that time, in addition to the dozen or so pure-blood mages who had cognitive collapses, there was one more person, Cologne. François's death, he was not a cognitive breakdown, according to Rockfield's corpse examination afterwards, it can be known that Cologne's cause of death was cardiac arrest caused by a large amount of inhalation of blood rocks, and the blood rock itself has a strong stimulating effect on the nerves, and Cologne's body is weaker than ordinary people due to the previous cognitive collapse, so it will have problems after sucking a large amount of blood rocks and strenuous exercise.

Of course, even if it is an ordinary person, inhaling that dose of blood rock at a time, there is only one way to die, according to the aftermath, ask Margaret, who has gone insane. Elbiore's record, judging from the answers pieced together in a few words, Cologne thinks that Bloodrock can reinvigorate him, in fact, the nerve-paralyzing Bloodrock does allow him to regain some degree of his past strength, but that is only an overdraft of his life.

"I didn't expect that the blood rock has infiltrated into the mage, and it is still in the pure-blood sect, the initial reaction of this drug is relatively light, and many people don't care, and when they realize it, they have become addicted and can't quit, it's really a difficult drug to deal with."

Preston whispered, glancing at another report at his desk that he hadn't told Rockfield.

This is a death report, which Preston had previously sent to investigate the source of the Blood Rock, Sherlock and John.

......

In the middle of the Midlands, in an old mansion.

The walls of the mansion were mottled and faded, and in the living room, the half-coagulated blood was emitting a disgusting stench on the old and almost decaying furniture.

There were two people lying on the ground, both wearing black mage robes with three gold trims on their cuffs, these were two three-ring mages.

Their deaths were horrific, their clothes engraved with defensive magic were torn open in the middle, and they were pierced through their chests, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the arteries in their throats, and you can imagine how quickly the blood would have spurted outward when they were killed, so that the cupboards several meters away from the corpses were stained with blood.

The faces of the two mages were still shocked, as if they couldn't believe that they had been killed like this, and they had no power to fight back, which added to the terrifying atmosphere of the scene.

In the corner of the living room, a man sits.

He looked like someone who hadn't slept well for days, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, black messy hair, to be precise, he was not sitting on the sofa, but squatting in the broken leather sofa, and the man was holding a cup of coffee in his hand, but this cup of coffee may have been put in too much sugar, and it has become a semi-solid state, and even a spoon can be erected in it.

The man, dressed in an ordinary gown, was spotless despite the dilapidated and bloody surroundings, took a sip of his coffee and looked to the side of the living room.

A man in a delicate gown cautiously walked into the living room, tiptoeing to avoid the blood splattering on the floor.

The man had gray hair and deep blue eyes, which looked somewhat similar to Reiner.

"Do you have to make such an exaggeration every time?"

The gray-haired man looked at the two corpses on the ground and pulled out a handkerchief to cover his nose.

"Blood Rock has attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Magic Association, and these two people have reports ready to be submitted to high-level mages."

The black-haired man said coldly, and beside him, a blood-stained document floated, but soon, a flame ignited, incinerating it all, leaving only ashes to scatter.

"You better be careful, it's hard to guarantee that someone else won't start investigating you."

"I see."

The gray-haired man said impatiently, glancing at the corpse again.

"What about these two corpses?"

"Just put it here, their whereabouts are already in the hands of the Magic Association, and it's useless to hide them."

The black-haired man finished the coffee in his cup and got up from the couch.

"It's time for us to move."

"Transfer? Where to go? ”

The gray-haired man asked with wide eyes, as if the dark-haired man was the real master.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place."

The black-haired man said lightly, glancing at the map of the entire continent hanging on the wall, and his gaze fell on one point.

It was the center of the mages, the headquarters of the Magic Association, the Tower of the Rainbow.
