189. Adulthood
Adam turned to Lina and asked, "How did the reaction of the test subject after practicing the refining technique be collected?"
Lina's answer was much more serious: "All the test subjects in the Free City are under surveillance, and no one has had any adverse reactions other than weakness and exhaustion for the time being, because few people go out, so they have not been able to collect data during the battle, and it is impossible to judge whether the bloodline promotion technique is really effective." ”
Adam felt that this progress was still a little slower, after all, there were still a few people in the Free City, and there were also a few subordinates who could use it as his eyes to monitor cultivators and collect data.
"The moss you provided has been planted in every corner of Liberty City except for the Lord's Mansion and the Laboratory, and this plant is well suited to survive in the ice fields. Lina continued.
"How many forest elves have been sent by the slave traders of the Ethnic Union District recently?"
Lina hurriedly replied, "There are less than two hundred, and after the exchange of blood, less than fifty have survived. ”
"How can it be so little?"
"Most of the forest elf tribes are in the territory of the dragon clan, and the merchants dare not enter the hunt on a large scale, and the forest elves outside live in the dense forest, that kind of place, if a forest elf wants to hide, it is difficult to be discovered. And the mortality rate of exchange transfusion is too high. ”
Adam nodded, accepting Lina's reasoning, and then turned to look at the devil, "How many can be employed in Free City now?"
"There aren't many, most of them are hiding to practice promotion techniques, a small number of them were sent to the racial union zone by me, and only a few poor people who can't even get the money for private transactions are still doing tasks to save money. ”
"After issuing a quest to recruit adventurers to form a slave hunting team, I need a large number of test pieces and forest spirits, and the reward is up to you. ”
The devil was a little distressed: "Master, I'm afraid they don't want to go out and can't go out." ”
"Then send the task to their heads, add a reward, and after the number of slaves captured exceeds a certain number, I will personally guide them in the cultivation of the promotion technique. ”
The devil smiled: "In that case, there will be no problem. ”

After the next task is explained, the devil is left in the laboratory by Adam, and Sophia's problem needs to be solved.
To be honest, Adam wouldn't have any pressure to raise Sophia like this, and a frost dragon was also a good combat power. But her identity as a dragon is a big problem, and now she is mentally unsound, and she will still think that Adam is a dragon that was stolen at a very young age, but as she grows older and the inheritance gradually awakens, this misconception will change sooner or later.
No creature with a legacy is stupid, and even if she is, the knowledge and common sense that has been passed down through countless generations can make her smarter.
The devil was cautiously standing beside the sleeping Sophia, trying to enter her spirit and test her soul.
"How?" asked Adam.
"Her soul itself is defenseless, but the power of inheritance has awakened and is passively protecting her, master, if she is still an egg like me, then there is no problem with the master-servant contract, but now, I am afraid that doing something in her soul will immediately lead to a backlash from the inheritance. ”
"What about the consequences?"
The devil thought for a moment: "If she fails, the best outcome is that she becomes a fool or dies directly, and even a little worse may attract the origin, after all, you also said that the dragon is the closest creature to the origin in the plane." ”
"The second impossibility, there is a big problem with the origin of the dragon plane, and even if it is not, it is impossible to be distracted from observing a young dragon. ”
"So, master?"
Adam looked at Sophia and said, "Try it, see if you can break through the passive defense of the origin, if you can, I will sign a master-servant contract with her, if not, I can only use it as my first dragon experiment." ”
"Actually, the master, you can sign a symbiotic contract or an equal contract with her, and these two contracts will definitely not cause any backlash. ”
Adam shook his head and walked to the side: "Impossible. ”
"What if she's really dead or stupid?"
"Then she can only be blamed for her bad luck. ”
———
The entire dragon plane, even the most unheard of races, gradually learned that a magical city had risen from the ice field and the powerful knowledge it possessed.
More and more people are converging towards the ice field, and this trend has grown rapidly as the bloodline promotion technique has been proven to be effective, and many creatures who want to obtain the promotion technique, or who have problems with the cultivation of the promotion technique, have left the city where they belonged and come to the city of freedom.
Lina numbered each of the practice subjects, collected a huge amount of data for Adam, and spent all his time analyzing this data, so far, except for individuals who died of overdraft, there was no strange way of death that Adam feared.
The slave catchers returned one after another, and Adam selected many samples from them for live experiments according to his promise, most of them died because they could not withstand the rough experimental methods, and a small number of them were 'improved' in strength and bloodline with Adam's support.
No one cared how many people died because of this, they only saw that the person who walked out of the laboratory alive instantly surpassed them, so more people flocked to it.
Through thousands of live experiments and sample analysis, Adam finally determined that the origin of the dragon plane was indeed in a state of daunting or deep dormancy, and that it no longer had the power to monitor its world, and even such a large-scale erosion would not be able to resist.
Adam decides to start his promotion to the transcendent and become an adult frost dragon.
He hid his true body deep in the deepest depths, in addition to the little consciousness he used to control the dragon's body, he even revoked all the electrical element circuits built in his body, striving to erase any trace of the mage world on his body during the promotion process.
After checking that everything was correct, Adam began his first cultivation of the Dragon Refining Technique.
The blood veins are boiling, the elements are rampant, the functions of the dragon body are rapidly improving, and a large amount of blood power appears in the body, because there is no complete dragon inheritance and is stranded, the energy begins to overflow, and it is found that there is nowhere to vent and then all merge into the dragon body.
Adam's height broke through the ten-meter limit, eleven, twelve, thirteen...
The ice elementals inside Freedom City, which had never been attacked by a blizzard since its founding, began to surge, and all races with natural energy in their bloodlines lost all their abilities at this moment, and the uncontrolled elements began to eat away at their bodies, and they were covered in bruises in just a few seconds.
The snow tornado pierced the magic circle, destroying the ceiling of the laboratory, merging with Adam's own elemental aura, and the dragon's body grew again until the dragon's head poked out of the laboratory.
"Roar!"
