Chapter 186: The Question of Age

Phil took the juice from Nora, poured half of it in one gulp, then took a deep breath and said:

"Linde was born in that lab thirty-one years ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"At that time, the location of the laboratory was still on Sword and Spear Island, the Brohn Empire was still called the Aurora Kingdom, and the Storm Temple had not yet been involved in politics, and now the Prime Minister of the Empire, Hall, was still the High Priest of the Storm Temple at that time. ”

Lukka frowned when he heard this, not because the words surprised him, but because of Phil's tone. Luca had seen the bear child's ability to imitate other people's speech, but now, there was always a weight in his voice that was not commensurate with his age.

Phil didn't notice Luca's expression, stared at the juice in front of him, and continued without raising his head:

"Thirty-one years ago, in the autumn of 1456, almost the present season, Hall suddenly came to the palace and had a long night of conversation with Carlyle IV, who was then Prince Carlyle. The next day, Prince Carlyle's chief of guard brought Hale to the lab, and I remember it raining that dayβ€”"

"Wait, do you remember, where do you remember?" said Luca, looking at the little boy in front of him, who was about ten years old.

"I was there. Phil said calmly.

Lukka finally realized what he was struggling with, he had had a feeling that something was wrong since he had seen Phil the night before, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Until now, Luca finally figured out that a child around ten years old should be in the golden age of growth, and it is slow to grow five or six centimeters tall in a year. But the current Phil has not changed the slightest bit in appearance from what he saw more than a year ago!

"How old are you?" asked Luca.

"Ten years old. Phil looked up, and the face matched his answer exactly, except for an unpredictable light in his eyes.

"Thirty years ago, I was 10 years old. He added.

"Bell!"

Ollie knocked over a water glass, but quickly pulled the napkin over to wipe the water stains off the table, suppressed her shock, and waited for Phil to continue.

"I grew up in that lab when I was a child, and I should have been brought there at that time when the Aurora Kingdom was searching for children with research talents everywhere. ”

"And where are you, parents?" asked Luca, though he wasn't sure if such a thirty-year-old child would have parents.

Phil shook his head: "I don't remember, at least since I was three years old, I have been in that laboratory, according to the current statement, I should be the alchemy apprentice of the laboratory, every day is to keep attending classes, experiments, and analyzing experiment reports." ”

"Do you have any classmates?" asked Luca.

"No, an alchemy genius like me, there is only one in the entire Sunset Islands for hundreds of years, how can there be classmates?" Phil instantly became proud again, "This is not what I said, I don't believe you go to the laboratory to check the records." ”

"Okay, the lab trained you as an alchemy genius, how did you get involved with Linde later?" Lukka didn't argue with him about what a genius was, and once the argument began, it would definitely be endless.

"Am I about to say this, don't interrupt me all the time?" Phil gave him a blank look.

"That day, Priest Hall was doused like a chicken in soup, went into the lab, threw water everywhere on his body, and wet one of my lab reports. ”

He pulled out a tightly packed glass bottle from his soaked coat that contained some brown, viscous liquid. ”

"'This thing can provide you with a strong army!' were Hale's exact words, and he later gave us detailed instructions on how to use them. ”

Although Prince Carlyle trusted him very much, he was only a prince at that time, and he could only make suggestions on the research direction of the laboratory, and the brains of the laboratory decided to use the methods and materials provided by Hall to conduct an experiment first, and if it was successful, it would be widely promoted. ”

"I was in charge of making all the alchemy materials except for that bottle of liquid, don't look at me like that!well, it's not me, it's all the researchers in the lab who make it together, okay?"

"Soon, we were ready: culture fluid, a lot of growth potion, Hall's bottle of things, plus a three-month-old human embryo, a living body - all said don't look at me like that, of course the embryo is not provided by me, I don't have that function!"

"This was the first experiment, and we used only one drop of the stock solution. Six months later, that embryo grew into a baby, twice the size of a normal human baby. ”

Luca couldn't help but interject and asked, "This baby, is it Linde?"

Phil nodded: "That's right, he wasn't that big back then." However, the giant experiment was ultimately judged to have failed. ”

"Why?" Lukka was a little surprised, judging by Linde's combat power, this experiment should have been a success.

Because, I don't know which part went wrong, his intelligence was judged to be unsatisfactory in the first test, and there was no improvement in the following year. ”

The lab decided to destroy the defective product and start another round of experiments. ”

Phil sighed, "Do you understand? Since he was an embryo, I have watched him grow up little by little. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was me, the growth potion he swallowed was made by me, and the various tests he did every day were guided and recorded by me. ”

Then, he raised his tone: "But, just because my intelligence is not up to the requirements, they are going to destroy my hard work for a year, if it were you, what can you do?"

Lukka guessed where things were going, "So, you stole Linde out of that lab?"

Phil chuckled, "I'm not that easy to handle. ”

"Before leaving, I poured all the original liquid from Hall into the pool of strong acid, and mixed a lot of growth inhibitors with me, and by the way, I filled the laboratory with hypnotic gas. ”

"At that time, Linde was not so big, and he was about the same height as you, and it was not very difficult to disguise himself as an ordinary laboratory worker. In the future, if he can use those growth inhibitors, he should be able to be similar to ordinary people, that is, he has lower intelligence. ”

"But I overlooked one thing, neither Linde, who was only a three-year-old child, nor me, who was ten years old at the time, had no experience of sailing to sea. I naively thought that those small fishing boats would take us away from Spear Island. ”

"As soon as I sailed into the deep sea, the sudden storm taught me a lesson, and I don't know if it was my bad luck, or because I fooled the priests of the Storm Temple and angered the Lord of the Storm, our boat capsized. ”
