Chapter 56: The Land is Fertile
Lowe didn't take Renzi Stuart's head with Heidi, but he brought back a worn-out headband for Heidi, the last request that the former ruler had made to Lowe.
Lowe granted his request.
In the process of battling the rotten beasts outside the ruined city, Heidi has obtained enough data about Luo's ability potential that she begins to prepare for surgery on the strange gene chain in Luo's body.
Heidi was busy, and at the same time, her half-brother Heyman was not idle.
Heyman sat again opposite Paul Begou, Marquis of the Begu family, in the Begu family estate, the marquis's mansion.
As the younger brother of the head of the Begu family, and with the title of marquis, Paul Begu is definitely one of the pinnacle power cores of the Begu family.
The Begu family has followed the tradition of the ancient tribe of matrilinealism, and the family has had three generations of female heads in a row. The patriarch who had lived in the Begu family manor for a long time and had not been out for many years was none other than the marquis's sister, Amandina Begu.
"Uncle Paul, Heyman is here to ask for your favor to allow him to enter the Lost Trench under your name."
The Marquis has hundreds of wilderness cities under his control, and one of them is called the Lost Trench.
The old man was silent, he still had a grudge against the mutant spider mother that had destroyed, and he believed that should know this.
Heyman was not a reckless man, on the contrary, he was very cautious and intelligent.
"Heyman, you know that the Lost Trench is not open to anyone outside the family, and instead of discussing such an unpleasant thing, don't you think it would be more pleasant to talk about the past with me, an old man who only wants to bask in the glory of the past?"
The Marquis sat lazily there, gently shaking the red wine in his hand, and the wrinkles on his face were more dense.
"Uncle Paul, with all due respect, for you, Marquis, all the people who are eligible to enter the Lost Forest should belong to outsiders."
Heyman's words were a bit irreverent, especially for the marquis, who wielded great power but had no heirs.
"Dear Heyman! It seems that you should cherish the opportunity to sit across from me and talk more than to say something less polite, which is not many. And as I get older, my patience becomes less and less. ”
The Marquis's voice was slightly cold, and he looked through the glass in his hand at Heyman, who was still sitting there.
's slightly embarrassed expression in the glass was covered with a thin layer of blood red, just like his current situation.
"Uncle Paul, if Heyman can receive your boon, Heyman will be grateful to you, including after taking over the family scepter. I'm still a little far away, but I'm still young, aren't I? ”
The Marquis did not speak, but stood up and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window.
"The esteemed Patriarch Amandina is old enough that she has forgotten even her promise, and the absence of the Begu family has put the northern battlefield in an awkward position, and my great father seems to be displeased with it."
Heyman still said calmly, and there was no need for him to deliberately keep his voice down in the Marquis's mansion.
The Marquis looked out the window at the old face with a hint of bitterness, and the endless wilderness outside the window seemed to be like the old man in front of him, lonely and decaying, with no hope in sight.
"Uncle Paul, this is a little compensation from for trespassing on your private spider garden last time, and I hope you will accept it."
Heyman placed a small metal box on the table, drank the glass in front of him, and then bowed respectfully to the Marquis, who was still standing in front of the window, facing the wilderness, and turned and walked out.
The Marquis of Paul Begu never looked back until Heyman left.
Power, abilities, ambitions, all of these things seem to become less important to an old man who has no heirs, as the hero dies.
The Marquis waited until the last rays of light above the wilderness were swallowed up by darkness, and then slowly turned to look at the sealed metal box that Heyman had placed on the table.
He knew very well what was inside, and this kind of thing was also what Heidi needed, and in order to get it, Heidi even blatantly modified the trade agreement between the Cardivan family and the Begu family.
But the Marquis wasn't going to trade it for Heidi's automatons, and he needed it so much that he began to consider Heyman's request for him.
Heidi eventually decides to operate on Lo to repair Lo's genetic strand and help Lo regain his instinctive ability to remove the genetic sequence.
"Here's a list of abilities I can help you implant, along with the pairings I personally recommend to you, and of course, you can choose to reclaim your old abilities."
Heidi's tone was still as cold as ever, but Lowe was not disgusted by it. Coldness, like calm, is just a protective color, and Lo himself is very good at taking advantage of this. And he's working on the list Heidi has given him, and he doesn't have Heidi's ability to multitask.
So low, medium, and high-tier abilities, as well as some super-tier abilities, and even two abilities that are only possible to comprehend once you've stepped into Domination.
Each ability is followed by a detailed commentary, including dozens of aspects such as the strengths and weaknesses of the ability, its potential, and the complementarity of the ability.
Luo knew very well what the piece of paper in his hand meant, it was a family heritage, something that had been precipitated over the years, and it was another great gift from Heidi.
With all of Alex's manpower and material resources and decades of time, he couldn't even come up with such an exhaustive list of ability annotations.
Luo glanced at the low- and mid-tier abilities, and then turned his gaze to the higher-tier abilities behind.
"How many can I choose?"
Luo asked softly, his usually calm voice trembling faintly.
"You have three unlocked pairs of gene sequences, and you can theoretically choose three, of course, after you've decided to give up body shapes and mutant toxins. Alternatively, you can choose to take genetic potions to unlock more genetic sequences, and I have enough potions here to provide to you for free. ”
Heidi has a strange sex appeal at work, and she seems happy to see Lo grow as quickly as Panis.
Luo didn't plan to take genetic pills, and growing up too fast was sometimes not a good thing, especially if he had enough secrets and no strong backing.
Lowe thinks that Panis is different from herself, that she has no secrets that she is afraid of being known, and that she has a backer.
The mid-level ability Lo is the backer of the super-level ability Panis, at least that's what Lo thinks!
Although his instinct forcibly eliminated the body shape, Luo didn't want to give up the ability. Body Shape is arguably Lo's most useful and powerful ability against an unknown opponent.
As for the mutant toxin that he instinctively chosen, Luo intends to give up, at least temporarily.
In the wilderness where the vast majority of Adepts possess toxin immunity, the usefulness of mutant poisons has been greatly reduced, not to mention that large families such as the Kadiwen and Begu families are definitely not short of various antidotes or anti-poison equipment.
The ability of the mutant poison to communicate with the mutant spider group was the reason why he instinctively chose it, but Luo didn't feel that he needed the legion to fight.
The vice-captain of the Night Mercenary Squad, the real speaker behind Alex, Luo, is a lone wolf.
And he has long been accustomed to the lone wolf fighting style.
In other words, in addition to body shape, you have two abilities to choose from.
Lodo didn't even think about retrieving the Poison Resistance ability that could ward off Radiation in the Wilds, or he felt that Poison Resistance was a waste of what few of his genetic sequences.
The night vision ability of others to occupy the genetic sequence is not an anomaly in Luo, but only a physiological instinct similar to the molting of snakes.
Lowe plans to spend enough time in the wilderness to bask in the sun, forcing instincts to develop the ability to resist toxins. He had this faith, and he believed that instinct had this ability.
Otherwise, where does night vision come from?
Manipulation: A high-level ability that can control a certain number of mutated creatures, and the number and effect of control are affected by the level of the ability's mental power and mutated creatures. The specific conversion formula is ......
It's something that instinct should have liked, but Lowe didn't think it helped him stay alive. Luo, who has been worried about food and water for a long time, simply can't feed the hordes of mutated creatures.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Lowe finally started asking Heidi about it.
Heidi glanced at the position of Luo's finger and pursed her lips subconsciously.
Fertile Land: ......
According to Heidi's list of ability notes, this is a super-tier ability.
"The Fertile Land ability was originally a mystical ultimate ability, but for some reason it was eventually downgraded to a super-tier ability......"
Heidi lifted her frame, as if wondering how to explain it to Lowe.
"The land is fertile, the ultimate ability to be demoted?"
Lowe stared at the ordinary four words, waiting for Heidi to continue.
"The land is fertile, and it was on the same level as mystical end-tier abilities like Lucky and Predict. Theoretically, with this ability, one can better get close to nature, listen to nature, and communicate with nature. It's similar to Lucky, but not as useful as Lucky. It also has a more apt name, chicken ribs. ”
As for the meaning of the word "chicken ribs", Luo still understands.
"It doesn't help you in battle, or it hasn't been explored to be useful in battle. Having this ability seems to only make the prey you choose to chase is the fatter one in a pack, or the larger rhizomes of the plants dug out of the wilderness to fill your belly, but that's about it. It didn't seem appropriate to put it in the final ability at the bottom all of a sudden, so ......"
Heidi's explanation was easy enough to understand, and Chlo was still looking down in thought, still pondering Heidi's words.
Heidi is extremely patient in her work and does not skimp on her time.
Lowe finally turned his gaze back to the abilities ahead.
Eventually, Lowe decided on the two abilities he was going to choose. As for Heidi's recommended ability combinations, those things might work for Panis, but definitely not for Lo.
Heidi hasn't fully understood Lowe, and she hasn't fully understood Lo's body.
"I'm going to pick both abilities while keeping my Body Shape mutation!"
Lowe's voice was calm and unmistakable.
Heidi looked at the two skills of Luo's fingers again, and her lips pursed even tighter.
Chains of the mind, and fertile land.
One is a low-tier ability, and the other is a chicken rib ability that falls from ultimate to super-tier.
Psychic Chain: Establish a psychic chain with the other person, and you can perceive the strong emotions such as pleasure, fear, and sadness in the other person's heart.
It's another low-tier ability with no combat value.
