Chapter 3: The Limits of Humanity
An elven philosopher once said that the dragon was born as the sapling of the legendary Flo pine, and that the larvae were not tree species, but seedlings that fell directly from the mother tree, and that they were tens of meters tall when they landed, and that they would absorb nutrients from a radius of hundreds of miles no matter where they grew, and they were extremely domineering. After thousands of years, the seedlings mature, and once they mature, they become a forest of trees, covering one side.
Elves and dwarves are the seeds of a hundred wheels of wood, and after planting, they slowly sprout and sprout, and they will grow once every hundred years, one round is ten meters high, and after a thousand years, they will grow into ten rounds high.
Humans alone are a magical seed. When you only have one in your hand, it's a weed seed. When you have ten, there may be a dandelion in it. When you have hundreds, sprinkle them all and you can harvest one or two small trees several meters high...... But when you have hundreds of thousands, millions of seeds, Mia doesn't know what can grow out of them, and maybe a few giants will pop up and chop down Flo pine and hundred wheels with axes for firewood.
The meaning of these words is obvious, that is, among many races, although human beings are weak, they have no limits, or the limits of human beings are unlimited.
This is also where Gotick's mistake lies.
There is no doubt that he succeeded, he fused himself with the yellow-striped spotted butterfly, and then completed the metamorphosis, with a perception and two bodies that ordinary people did not have, and the fluttering moth form could fly into the sky, faster than ordinary birds......
But again, his talent as a human is erased, and the talent genes of the yellow striped spotted butterfly override his talent genes as a human. And for the latter, evolving from an ordinary beast to a monster depletes its lifetime potential.
In other words, Gotik has come to an end in this life, and the level of strength, agility, perception, and magic ...... His attributes have been like this all his life, they will only decline with age, and he will not be able to improve in any way, even if he exercises no amount of workout.
The problem comes from "synthesis", which can naturally be solved by "synthesis", but when it comes to "re-optimization of synthetic products", this topic is not something that a "doctor of biology" who is an ordinary person can solve, at the very least, Gotik has to become a mage, and it is better to study the forbidden necromancer, because this involves soul science......
However, he is not, and will not be able to become a mage for the rest of his life, he has managed to break into a dead end.
Fortunately, Gotik is a person who is at ease with what he encounters, although the result is not perfect, but at least the purpose of delaying aging has been achieved, and at the same time he has a keen sense and a handsome appearance, he simply left the dense forest, packed his things and went to the holy place of the mage in Falan City to see what he had dreamed of, and by the way waited for the next instruction from the "above", because the other party had not heard from him since he proposed the deal, and only told him some scattered information, not including the specific content of the "two-headed Chimera".
Mr. Gotik Florno came to the city of Falan in 775 A.D. to engage in the spice business, taking advantage of his ability as a fluttering moth, and his keen perception and affinity for insects allowed him to quickly find the gathering place of the yellow-striped spotted butterfly, pacify and breed them on a large scale.
But three years later, he still hadn't waited for the next instruction from that gentleman......
However, just this morning, he ran into the legendary "Lord Zaix".
"Could it be that you are the man standing behind him?" Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.
"No, no, no, how could it be 'Lord Zayx'!"
Before Mr. Za could speak, Gotik hurriedly retorted, "That guy is just a servant of Lord Zaix at best!" No...... He doesn't even deserve to be a servant! ”
"Tut-tut...... It's like a fan meeting an idol......"
Mu Yan shook his head and looked at Teacher Zha.
If the eyes could kill a man, the mouthy Gotik would have been stabbed to death by Mr. Piercing.
"That's another story......"
Teacher Zha hurriedly cleared his throat and spoke eloquently.
……
……
As people who walk in a darker place than the shadows, there is naturally no shortage of communication and exchange between necromancers. After all, they are also a kind of mage, and it is not advisable to work behind closed doors, and communication and learning are always an important means of progress.
As a result, during the fifteen years from 760 to 775 in the Faith Calendar, there was such a "subject" among high-level necromancers: the "Two-Headed Chimera" subject.
It's a very clear, scientific subject that aims to combine the best of two creatures and work them one step by step to create a more perfect one. Of course, "1+1" is only the beginning, and what will be carried out after this is the "1+1" of the two "1+1" products to each other...... And so on, and in the end, you can create perfect creatures that are pushing the limits in every way.
As masters of soulology, necromancers are naturally not naïve enough to think that this is their home, their future shell, and so on. They know that the superiority of the body can add up to each other, but the soul cannot, and that a soul with too much composition will only cause disorder and madness.
Therefore, the purpose of this move is not to create a body, but to create a perfect "minion", or "puppet", which can then be manipulated as long as the soul is inserted into it, and become a powerful weapon.
So it's more like building an "ultimate weapon".
It is unknown who first proposed the subject, but since it spread among mages, almost everyone has been feverishly researching it. The way in which each of them researches is also different, with people like Mr. Za immediately starting experiments, with Manny, the Bone Spirit Swordsman, and the Lady of the Dead Whisperer who was not born in this worldline being the intermediate products of this project, and the people who secretly bewitch Gotic, they choose the more clever method of "outsourcing......
Gotik was the one he was entrusted with.
"And who is this man?" Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.
"John DiPert." Teacher Zha said.
Seeing that Mu Yan was still confused, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, there is finally something that you kid doesn't know......
"You may not be familiar with this name, but I'm afraid you've heard of another of his names, such as 'Count Frankenstein.'"
"Oh......" Mu Yan suddenly realized.
He had heard the name before, and more than once.
Frankenstein is one of the thousands of counts in the territory of Morningstar, and the territory is still on the edge of the Hilde Hills far from Morningstar City, it stands to reason that no one will care about him except for the civil servants of the Population Registration Office, but Frankenstein has become a hot topic in the imperial capital for a while, and there was a period of time when people frequently disappeared in the place, and the number was so large that the paper could not contain the fire, and the bizarre events spread to the imperial capital, and finally even the Count Frankenstein himself disappeared......
Things got to this point, and Morningstar's secret service organization, Thorn Nightsong, had to go out to investigate the situation in person, but then the group of agents was gone...... Later, things seemed to encounter some kind of resistance, and they were gradually pressed down, until finally no one cared.
This mystery happened to take place during the fifteen years of the year 760-775 A.D., when the topic of the "two-headed Chimera" was raised, and the most important thing is that John Dupert, also known as Count Frankenstein, had a third identity.
And this identity is the key reason why Mu Yan knows him.
He also has a name, Mora.
That is, the Pope of the Heresiophobia, Mora.
