Chapter 47: The Ruins of Krimatha (8)
"There are signs that the gods and demons are preparing to deal with us. The two families ...... together This is very bad news. Humans themselves are too short to accumulate enough magic power, and their dependence on gods and demons is much heavier than that of any other race. Mr. Lefableble said that once we are punished by the gods and demons, we will lose the magical civilization we are proud of in an instant. The 'Human Improvement Program', based on the creation of life and the extension of human lifespan, has been carried out for thousands of years, but has not yielded satisfactory results. ”
"The news has reached Kremasha, but the stupid officials don't seem to believe it at all. They claim that this has happened countless times over thousands of years, but if we turn to the other side, we can solve all the problems. The antagonism of gods and demons is innate. When we are hostile to the Holy Spirit, the Demon Lord will protect us. And when we are hostile to the Demon Lord, the Holy Spirit will also be on our side. Even if they have reached a consensus, we can solve the problem as long as we provoke contradictions between them. ”
"Mr. Lefebble tried to mobilize the resources of the entire Krimatha to prepare for the impending catastrophe, but his proposal was rejected at the Council of Mages. It was rejected by a large margin of votes. Oh my God, what's going on with these top mages, why don't they trust Mr. Lefeble?"
"Mr. Reffible decided to force the implementation of the incomplete improvement program and apply it directly to the human body before it was fully validated. His good friend Barsaromu volunteered to be the first volunteer. ”
"The situation in Barçalomu is very bad. He became manic and bloodthirsty. He also bitten Adrien and Felix. It's like a contagion, and the two of them have become just like him. The experiment failed. Mr. Lefebble tried to restore them to their original state, but the experiment was irreversible. ”
The names of the three elders of the Blood Clan...... It's all done.
When he saw the names, Jones got goosebumps. This means that Andrew is telling the truth. The Bloodlines really evolved from humans.
In Jones's hand was a magical notebook, which, as soon as it was opened, would emerge with phantom-like words, but intermittently. It seems that because of the age, some of the text displayed has become a glimmer of light, and nothing can be recognized.
However, purely from the intermittent content, Jones can already judge what it has recorded.
"We found some special cases. How can I say that...... It's as if we've created a new race. Barcelomu, oh no, not just Barcelomu, but also Adrien and Felix, who were bitten by him, have a perception of magic, though not yet to the level of angels and demons, but they have surpassed any human known to us. But they can only drink blood, and they are very interested in human blood...... Also, they are very afraid of sunlight and holy arts. These will burn them. Not only that, but they are very emotionally unstable. Becoming selfish, greedy...... It's strange that all three of them were originally very nice people. Now the personality seems to have completely changed. Maybe it's because we used something from outside space in the process. In fact, as experimenters, we don't fully understand those things ourselves. ”
"Their mood seems to have changed and stabilized. They tried to convince Mr. Leffible to release them from their confinement for further study. I mean, research on themselves. Mr. Lefebble agreed. But the result ...... As a result, they took advantage of this opportunity and bit four other people...... Mr. Lefabler had to send four other people into confinement with him. ”
"There may have been some mistakes in our experiments. The current situation is something we never imagined. We sacrificed seven people for this. Although they are not dead, they are no different from sacrifice. ”
"Studies have shown that their bodies show no signs of aging and are even getting younger. Barçaromu is sixty years old, but he now looks as if he is in his early thirties. Maybe...... Maybe our experiment was unexpected, but at least we made a breakthrough on the issue of immortality. ”
"News of the accident of the seven has leaked, and Krimatha's Mage Council is meeting to discuss sanctions against Mr. Lefableble for violating the law by conducting human experiments. He could be sentenced to life in prison. Either way, the experiment continues. Mr. Lefebble was arrested, and before leaving, he told us to continue the experiment. I'm running out of time. ”
"I just received word that seven mutants had escaped on their way to Krimasha. Those escorts did not follow our advice, they underestimated the power of those seven mutants. Several of them were even bitten on the spot and then taken away. ”
"The Council of Krimatha Mages asked us to hand over all the information about the seven men, but we refused. Seal off the entire shelter and keep them all out. It is not possible to hand over the information of the seven of them, and if they do, the results of the improvement plan will be exposed. There are rumors of traitors within the Council of the Mages, who will hand over our information to Heaven and Hell. ”
"Because of our resistance, Mr. Lefebble was sentenced to death. Yes, they are going to put Mr. Reifeble to death. Unless we are willing to open the passage of the refuge. I don't think we're going to be able to hold it out, they've been besieged for fifteen days. But Mrs. Lefebble did not allow us to do that...... A woman, they were so affectionate, I can't imagine her saying something like that. Perhaps this proves the urgency of the situation. ”
Hell abruptly terminated the covenant with Krimatha and terminated it on its own initiative. This is something that has never happened before. Krimatha is in a mess right now. I don't know how to describe this situation. Luckily, the vault is still functioning normally. Or rather, in the six months of the siege, we have become accustomed to this semi-paralyzed lifestyle. ”
"We're still trapped in the Vault, working day and night on improvements to the plan. However, progress appears to have been limited. We know almost nothing about the outside. However, we can imagine that the situation out there must be very bad right now. ”
"There is good news that the right has attacked the camp where Mr. Lefebble is guarding. The leftists are still thinking about compromising with Heaven and Hell, they think they can change the decisions made by the Demon Lord and the Holy Spirit, and they control the council. The right, together with a part of the army, attacked the camp guarding Mr. Reifebler and rescued him. And, by force, they drove out the besieging army. We were able to open the passage to the shelter again. God knows how long it's been since I've smelled flowers and seen sunshine. ”
"Krimatha is in the midst of a civil war. Differences of opinion are turning into war, hysteria on both sides. We are still hiding in shelters, untouched by the fighting. I wonder if that's lucky?"
"There's a piece of news that I don't know if it's good news. My daughter...... She has a boyfriend. Ansère Lefebble. Yes, that's the name. He is the grandson of Mr. Lefeble. I'm very happy that she can find her love, but it's an unfortunate time. ”
"Mr. Lefebble has brought with him several archmages who are highly accomplished in human body modification, and they are ready to join our project. The previous case of renovating Barcelona has given them a lot of confidence. ”
"The war is intensifying, and large numbers of civilians are pouring into shelters. They have come to seek refuge. There were more and more people, and the shelter was almost overwhelmed. Mr. Lefebble decided to close the shelter. To be honest, I am not in favor of this decision, but Mr. Lefebble is adamant, and he must do it. ”
"Mr. Leffible has made a new discovery, based on a previously failed experiment, and he has discovered a new theorem. 'Dark'. In the previous experiments, the neutral potion used would shift in the direction of the dark system for some reason. To be honest, I don't understand it, but it probably means that I need to change the recipe and extend the experiment. Anyway, that's good news. It's a little better than no progress at all. In fact, after that failed mutation experiment in Barçalomu, we ran several more experiments, all of which failed without exception. Some of the volunteers died, some lost consciousness, and some grew old rapidly. ”
"Mr. Leffable ordered further tightening of the control against all. Seems to have something to do with experimentation. I wasn't involved and didn't know how it was going. But looking at Mr. Reifebler's form, it seems to be good. ”
"A legion has been accepted, a whole legion, and they seem to have been through a terrible battle not so long ago. The shelter has become more crowded. I really don't know why Mr. Reifeble would take them in. If you are willing to admit them, why not other civilians? Haven't you already ordered the closure of the shelters before?"
"I want to ...... I seem to understand why Mr. Refebble accepted them. They helped Mr. Lefebble erase records of the experiments being conducted in the vault, as well as previous failed experiments. For this, they even burned down the entire Klima archive. At the same time, they also brought a lot of important supplies to the Vault, including several mana pools. It is said that they were all plundered. Many civilians have died. I don't know if I should appreciate such 'heroic deeds'. Let's hope Mr. Lefebble made the right decision. If he's wrong, then we're all done. Humanity is also finished. I heard that the negotiations between the left and the gods and demons are at an impasse. ”
"A new experiment began, and this time the volunteers were...... Ansère Lefebble. When I heard the name, I couldn't believe my ears. Is Mr. Leffible going to experiment with his own grandson?"
"I heard that the experiment was successful, and it really worked. But it takes 10,000 years to transform? God, 10,000 years. Is this a joke? I never thought that what they call 'extending the experiment' could be extended to such an extent. If it takes 10,000 years to complete the transformation, how can they be sure that the experiment has been successful?"
"Mr. Lefebble has started a mass recruitment of volunteers. All residents of the shelter can apply and can start immediately as long as they have a medical examination and confirm that they are suitable. I don't understand that. It's actually an experiment that doesn't confirm its success, isn't it?"
"Elsa, my daughter has applied to volunteer...... Oh my God, why would she do this? Although many people are eager for this experiment, didn't I tell her that there was no evidence that the experiment was a complete success? She didn't do it for eternal life, she just did it for love. Because Anse El's kid was already in the blood crystal of the experiment. ”
"I questioned Mr. Refebler. He told me that now he had no other way. While the right, known as the rebels, has sent us important pools of mana, those pools are now being depleted. This is no longer the time to receive support from angels and demons. What little magic and resources we have left is no longer enough to support further experiments. Now we have only two options, either die of old age in the shelter or become volunteers and participate in the experiment. He would not allow anyone to step out of the Vault, because once the experiments being conducted here were discovered by Heaven or Hell, it would all be over. Therefore, we don't even have the possibility of choosing to get out of the shelter and live in the sun. ”
"I have to say, I can only support him. Because I know what the outcome will be if I fail. We don't have a choice, so why don't we?"
"I watched Elsa walk into the Blood Crystal. As a father, I don't know how to describe how I felt. Perhaps, even death, is better than living forever in this dark place. I also applied to become a volunteer, but I was unsuccessful. Tests have shown that I have no hope of surviving the danger period. Damn 'danger period', a new term I just learned, even if the experiment is successful, it doesn't mean that all the people involved in the experiment will survive. ”
"The last group of volunteers was sent away, and Mr. Lefebble took them all to safety. This refuge is found in many of Krimatha's archives, and both heaven and hell should be known. So, as people living here, we are not allowed to know exactly where they have gone. As a sign of fairness, Mr. and Mrs. Reifeble chose to stay in the shelter and live with us......"
"I accidentally heard the bad news that something went wrong with Ansel's experiment...... He's the first volunteer for the new experiment, does that mean that everyone's experiments are going to go wrong......?
"A group of mages were sent to their secret settlement. Mr. Leffebble told me that it was just a small accident, and that they would readjust the potion they were using, and that it would solve it without causing others to have the same problems as Anse Air. I don't know if I should believe it...... But now, it seems that I have no other option than to believe. ”
"Mr. Lefebble used what little magic he had left to create a new space in the Sanctuary, a space where time flowed very slowly. We can inhabit space and pretend to be living a life back in the surface world. Fifty years here is equivalent to 5,000 years outside. But 5,000 years is not enough, isn't it? Compared to 10,000 years, I still won't be able to see my Elsa. ”
"The vast majority of young people have become volunteers, and most of those who remain are older. I can imagine that many years from now, if we are lucky, our children will open this refuge again, and all they will see will be a pile of dry bones, and there will be no living people. ”
