In the past three hundred years, there have been twelve generations of the Elbiore family, with a total of eighty-five people.

Judging from the number of squibs, if the blood factor of the squibs is recessive, it can meet the ratio of three to one, which makes sense from the phenomenon point of view.

What really puzzled Reiner was the distribution of hair color.

Among the eighty-five people, only five are red-haired, and among the remaining people, except for the nine who died at birth and have not confirmed their hair color, the remaining 61 blonde hair, even if it is assumed that red-haired newborns are prone to early death, and the people who died are counted in the red-haired camp, the ratio of blonde hair to red-hair is far from reaching three to one.

The red-haired Elbiore family is both male and female, so it's clear that it's not a trait that is inherited from the sex.

After enumerating the numbers, Reiner opened the family tree where Elimia was.

Elimia's father's generation, William and his three sisters, and George, were all blonde, and William's father's generation was also blonde, and if you go back up, there was only one redhead in their vein, which of course was the basis of Reiner's reasoning.

At least, from this red-haired senior, Reiner was able to confirm that in the process of inheriting the lineage of Elemia, the red-haired bloodline factor did appear.

Without the red-haired ancestor, Reiner would have had a much harder time proving Elimia's lineage.

"If redhead is recessive and blonde is dominant, then there seems to be a big problem with this ratio, is it manipulation or something else?"

Reiner thought that some families might drown some newborns and not be registered in the family tree, but he quickly dispelled this concern, because even the despised Squibs were accurately and meticulously recorded in the family tree, such as the daughter of Elimia, who was considered to be fornicating, and Reiner saw that even the illegitimate children left behind in the family tree were recorded.

It seems that this genealogy will be registered as long as there is the blood of the Elbiore family, and it is unlikely that Reiner will guess.

Reiner picked up the pen and began to mark on the paper with the names of the generations of the Elbiore family, he first wrote aa under Elemia's name, which means that she is a pure recessive blood factor type, and then, working backwards, can get her parents should be Aa type, otherwise you can't get the recessive homozygous Arymia.

He then marked Edward and Elemia's two older sisters with the symbol Ax, both of whom were blonde, and Reiner had no way of knowing if they carried the Recessive Blood Factor.

Similarly, William's two wives and his half-brother George are also of the Ax type.

"You can't deduce anything like that......"

Reiner muttered to himself, the information he had at hand could only show that according to the laws of heredity, Arymia could indeed be the child of William and Lady Martha, but he could not conclude that this matter.

If you really want to say it, Reiner's current research is actually only the tip of the iceberg for heredity, and there is still a huge and insurmountable gap between peas and humans, and it is really a bit too much to rely on this paper to solve the problem of bloodline.

But Reiner knew that this paper was enlightening enough to allow other mages to use it as a reference in a short period of time to design more experiments on different species, and eventually reveal the secrets of life inheritance.

Not intended to prove what the laws of heredity in this world are, Reiner's actions are really just so that Arymia can get out of the prison she has drawn for herself, and if she knows that her mother has not betrayed anyone, then Arymia will be able to raise her head and fight against her own family, at least, to escape the tragedy of being ravaged by her own brother.

Elimia's previous attitude towards Reiner, and her attitude towards her own family made Reiner very clear, she was definitely not the kind of weak guy who simply succumbed to fate, but rather, Elemia was actually a stubborn and stubborn dead brain, as long as she believed in what she believed, she would stick to it to the end, so she would fall into such a predicament.

After pondering for a long time, Reiner still had no clue, and seeing that night had fallen, he decided to go out for a walk, maybe he could get some inspiration.

The twilight was already dark, and after a whole day of high temperatures, the ground of the Crescent Academy still had residual warmth, and the wind was also a little hot.

The street lamps in the academy gradually turned on, and the light-seeking insects wandered under the lamps, leaving ambiguous shadows one after another.

Reiner walked slowly along the corner of the square, and in his mind, each member of the Elbiore family that had lasted for hundreds of years appeared one by one, forming a huge tree in the void, with branches and leaves, and each of them was like fruit on the branches, glowing with a ghostly light.

Most of these fruits are golden and dazzling, and there are only a few of them, which emit a strange red light, which is blurry and difficult to see.

Reiner tried to find a vein in the towering tree, but was soon dazzled and lost.

"Eat slowly."

At this moment, the sound from the side brought Reiner back to reality, and he walked a few steps to find the source of the sound, only to find that under a street lamp, Fina was feeding the cat with the extra stew from dinner.

The tiger striped kitten buried its face in the whole plate, feasting on the stew, and occasionally sticking out its tongue to lick the juice off its nose.

Fina crouched down in front of the kitten and watched it eat her dinner intently, until Reiner stepped up to her side and was suddenly surprised.

"Mr. Lay, Mr. Reiner......"

Somewhat scrambled to her feet, Fina showed a panicked expression that had rarely been seen before.

The kitten didn't react, as if the stew in front of him was its whole world.

"I've seen you feed it a few times."

Reiner said, smiling as he tried to ease the student's nerves.

"Well, I used to, when I was at home....... When I was at home, I used to have a cat for a while, it was a pregnant stray cat, I don't know when it started to stay in the backyard of the tower, I would take some food and feed it every day, and after a week, it gave birth to four kittens. ”

Fina looked at the kitten who was happily enjoying the meal and whispered.

"But before spring passed, the boys in the town found the litter of kittens, and by the time I got home, it was too late......"

Without going on, Fina seemed to remember something sad, and the lenses of her glasses seemed to be a little shining, and she turned her face away.

"They must have gone somewhere without pain."

Reiner said he had also fed the wild cats on campus during his college days, and during that month-long period, the two seemed to have developed a kind of tacit understanding, and whenever Reiner went there at a fixed time, the cat would crouch in the corner, as if waiting for Reiner's arrival.

The rest of the story is like that of many others, one day, when Reiner went to a familiar place with a can, he never waited for the cat, Reiner did not know where it had gone, what had happened, he could only pray that the little one had a better life, and Reiner's own life was peaceful as usual.

"Well, I hope so."

Nodding, Fina suddenly thought of the topic of the bloodline factors that she had studied in the past few days, and spoke.

"But speaking of which, although the she-cat was variegated, the litter of kittens was a mixed bag, with pure white and patterned kittens, and a pure black kitten, and now that I think about it, according to genetics, their father doesn't know what it looks like."

But her words made Reiner feel like he had been struck by lightning, and the whole person stood in place for a long time.

"That's ...... so"

Reiner muttered to himself, and in his mind, countless fragments were intertwined, faintly forming a picture.

The towering trees of the Elbiore family burst out with dazzling light, and the red fruits in them were like stars, which were particularly dazzling.
