Chapter 57: Rubeus's Ambition
Time seems to pass quickly.
After a few days, everything seemed very calm, but Roya's vigilance grew day by day.
The defected monk seems to have arrived in the vicinity of Loya, and even the wanted portrait has appeared.
"Puldo?" Adam sat in the carriage, looking at a wanted warrant from the monk in the form of an old man with a white beard.
In the past few days, the Adam Reflection Tower and the Boku family have been learning every day.
Whether it is a sorcerer profession or a knight profession, the cultivation of both professions is advancing at a rapid pace.
And the practice of the bloodline warlock has also been put on the agenda recently, and Adam has been vaguely able to maintain the connection between the bloodline and life, and can flow the life force with his own will.
During this time, Adam also told Anthony about his vision of the invisible blade, which was affirmed by Anthony, who believed that Adam's idea had a high probability of success.
He also recommended a few spells to Adam.
Those spells are all amplitude-type spells, which can be used on oneself and others, improving the physical fitness corresponding to the target.
According to Anthony's teachings, this technique uses mental power to envelop the power of nature to stimulate the life of the target itself, so that the operation mode of the target's life force changes for a certain period of time, resulting in amplitude.
Essentially, it's just a tonic for a specific situation.
Of course, there are also techniques to permanently enhance the physical fitness of the target, but this generally requires a large amount of mental power to solidify some natural forces into the target's body, and there is still a certain gap between Adam's purpose of using his own mental power to interfere and let the animal itself form a life chart.
"The gentleman has arrived. Crowe stopped the carriage and said respectfully.
Today, Adam did not rush to study in the Reflection Tower, but went to Rom's house and met Mr. Doug, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.
"How's the results?" Having not seen each other for a few days, Doug's body seemed to have regained some complexion, far less than before.
However, Doug was still very concerned about the elixir, and immediately asked as soon as they met.
"There are already some clues. Adam said, "According to the information I have investigated, the elixir may need xenomorphs as materials. ”
"Does the elixir need a different species?" Doug changed his expression slightly after hearing Adam's words, but he was not too surprised.
After planning the elixir for so long, before the elixir, he had also thought of other methods, so he could naturally detect that most of the elixirs needed xenos as materials.
"But isn't using xenomorphs as a material necessarily to change the bloodline?" Doug wasn't so easy to fool.
"Of course, xenos have a long lifespan, which is brought about by their bloodline, and it has something to do with the sin in their bloodline. Adam said matter-of-factly: "And Teacher Alva has removed the bloodline and sin, but retained the ability to live and refined the elixir. ”
This step was deduced by Jin, if the elixir was really made of xenomorphs, but the final result did not change the bloodline, then Alva must have found a way to separate sin and immortality after they separated from the human body.
Once the power of sin comes into contact with the human body, it will inevitably change the bloodline of the human body and turn it into a different species, and this transformation cannot be suppressed, which has been verified countless times within the alien species.
As for the way to get rid of sin, there is, but it is very difficult.
The Church of the Tears of God did just that, countless xenos joined the church, practiced hard, and spent a lifetime of faith and effort, but only a very small number of xenos were able to successfully remove their sins later.
And the bloodline will be removed with it, and the long-term life, the power brought by the bloodline, and even the special physique will be removed, and even seriously hurt one's own life.
Even professionals need to pay such a big price to know how difficult this is.
Therefore, Alva's only point of operation is to take the immortality from the xenomorph that is the material and transplant it into himself.
Most of the longevity methods are to take away the immortality ability of the xenomorphs, and even some directly take away the sin, and then transplant it to themselves after a little transformation.
The power of immortality is only a subordinate force of sin, and as long as sin takes root in flesh and blood, it will derive corresponding power.
What Alva did was to make a slight transformation of the step, where he separated sin from immortality.
It has to be a separation, not a suppression or reform of that part of sin, because that would be almost useless.
Separation is difficult, but not impossible.
The more powerful the xenomorph, the longer his lifespan, the elixir, which is simply as long as the ability to live and not sinful in the way, naturally requires a powerful xenomorph as a material, otherwise the longevity ability obtained through hard work can only increase the lifespan by a small amount, which is a loss.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Alva chose Count Ronnie as his target in the first place, rather than choosing a random xenomorph.
"So what about the separation?" asked Doug impatiently.
"You're thinking too much, Mr. Doug. Adam smiled and said, "Although I became Alva's student, you should have found out by now, it was Brother Char's recommendation that Alva accepted me, and even for cultivation, most of the time I just read books alone." ”
"This elixir seems to have some side effects, and Alva hasn't refined the elixir for a long time, and there is no stock at all. Adam's charisma changes slightly, making his words more believable, especially when it comes to telling the truth.
Doug naturally got to know Adam more deeply during this time, and knew that Adam was telling the truth.
Under the backdrop of a sentence of truth, the lies mixed in it naturally become the truth.
"So what else do you need to help?" asked Doug after calming his mind.
"It's still my strength, and my authority is only to open the library further and see more materials. Adam took out a gold coin, and there were many chains bound to it.
"It was only when the chains were all off that I could see enough information and even the original separation technology when it was all gone. Adam said.
"And the peeling off of this chain is linked to my strength, and my recent practice requires a lot of experimental subjects to practice. Adam said with a smile.
"Subject, human or ......," Doug asked, nodding his head.
"It's not that an exaggeration, all I need now is a few critters. Adam hurriedly waved his hand and denied the human subject.
Noticing this, Doug leaned back, his body slightly relaxed.
After concluding the conversation with Doug and determining the handover of the animal subjects, Adam once again got into the carriage and headed to the Reflection Tower.
His final performance seemed to lighten Doug's vigilance a little, and his character on Doug's side became a smart, but still immature teenager.
Adam squinted, his value in front of Doug was enough, so what he had to consider was how to make Doug look down on himself, and for the other person, what he had to do now was to make that person value himself more.
He had contacted Will some time ago, and Adel seemed to have been in contact with Sir Ruber, and as he expected, Ruber did not report Adel to the church, but had some negotiations.
Apparently Rubeus was tempted to get help from the xeno.
At the same time, the information from various xeno-investigations was slowly gathered to Adam with Will's transmission.
Rubeus's aristocratic exploits, falling off in his grandfather's generation, changed from a baron to a knight.
By the time Rubeus's generation arrived, there was only one shop left under his command, and he was able to barely make a decent living.
It's just that after that, Ruber began to make frequent moves, and after a few failures, he quickly grew and established a huge chamber of commerce.
During this time, he had frequent contact with church personnel, nominally to prepare for the promotion of the noble coat of arms, and planned to use the church's connections to ask some military magicians to help.
In reality, however, Rubeus seems to want more, and he is not satisfied with just reinstating the baron, but wants more.
