Chapter 533 - Cooperative Research (Part II)
Tofowen was silent, the room was silent for a while, the candle flame flickered in the crystal lampshade, and after a long time, the old wizard said in a tired tone: "I am too old, my life is coming to an end, and I no longer have the ability to cultivate the knight bloodline. β
Victor smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Your Excellency August also knows that you are the biggest imbalance, and while you are making arrangements for the Gambis Empire in a few hundred years, Sylvia is now worried about the political balance of the royal family. Now that the royal family has an absolute advantage, you should take the initiative to show sincerity and prove to Sylvia that you are indeed supporting the political ideas of the royal family, and not deliberately paralyzing the hills. β
"Sincerity is the most important potion formula. β
The Auguste family has a deep heritage, with an endless stream of high-ranking knights, three dukes and four princes under her command, and her size is several times larger than that of the York family. The southern expansion strategy is the basis for the cooperation between Jinshui City and Kite Fort within a hundred years, and the concept of the descendants of the royal family is the political foundation for the Gambis Empire to last for thousands of years. However, in the case of the disparity in strength, Sylvia will never be naΓ―ve to believe the pie depicted by the kiteburg, you must know that the York family has been suppressed by August for so long, and the mutual dislike is not so easy to resolve.
Sylvia is completing the York family's strategy at her own pace. The first is to enhance the bloodline of the York family, the second is to express the ambush to August, and the third is to rely on the power of the Kingdom of Gombis and use the identity of the descendants to stake the land in the southern continent.
In short, the York family wants to lie on August's body to suck blood and strengthen its own strength, and must not pin the future of the family on the political conception of the royal family.
Even if the Kite Fort is full of sincerity now, who can guarantee that the Kite Fort will remain the same in hundreds of years?
Strengthening strength is the last word in the development of the family.
Marquis Goron was not worried about Sylvia's layout, if Auguste needed to rely on suppressing the development of the lord in order to ensure his dominant position, it means that the family has gone into decline, and why should he create a big empire?
Kite Castle holds the position of lord and follows the same policies as the Centaur Hills, and as the House of York grows, Auguste only becomes stronger than her.
Of course, the bloodline of the god knight will threaten Auguste's lordship, but Sylvia and Victor don't even have children, and the influence of the blood of the god knight is there, and the kite castle now has a golden bloodline, which means that August is about to reach the end, and the York family is just beginning.
The future is left to posterity, and the advantage of the Kite Castle is so obvious that Auguste's descendants still lose to the Yorks, and Goron has nothing to say.
What he was most worried about now was that His Highness Randall, the next guardian of the Centaur Hills, would reach out to the kingdom's Southland family.
The lifespan of the Divine Knight is limited, and Victor, as Sylvia's companion and His Royal Highness of the Legendary Rank, must be the guardian of the next generation of the York family. If he had taken the scattered southern lords' families under his command and controlled all the ports on the north bank of the Gangbyskin River, the Kite Castle would have only one battle.
Because Victor controls the ports of the Jinshui River, he can decide how many soldiers and supplies each family can send to the Southern Continent. If the Kite Fort does not take measures, it will not be long before the three major dukes may fall to the Centaur Hill.
It's not about winning at the finish line, it's about tripping over the finish line.
In order to ensure that the royal family had control of the port and fleet, the Kite Castle took a number of measures, including driving out Lady Judy and garrisoning the city of Wild Willow, and removing the knights of the Solim family to support the Chebman family in the Bronze City. For eight years, the old Marquis of Solim will not be promoted to the Golden Knight, and if he does not return to Gambis, the Kite Castle will try to replace the territory of the Chipman family.
All this was done behind Victor's back, and Sylvia chose to forbear in order to improve the family bloodline. But neither Toferwen nor Goron expected Victor to be promoted so quickly. It will take another 5 years for the Kite Castle to send the Chebman family into the Copper City and take control of the situation in the southern border of the kingdom. Victor was promoted to the Legendary rank, and the Chebman family was too close to His Highness Randall and too far from the Kite Castle, so it was not surprising to make any choice. Unless, His Royal Highness Randall fully supports the idea of a political marriage between the descendants of the royal family.
This meeting was actually a test of Kiteburg's next generation of guardians of the Centaur Hills.
After listening to Victor's words, both Toffwin and Goron realized that His Highness Randall had seen through the essence of the problem, and that his emotional negotiation tactics had failed.
The Marquis of Goron said: "Your Highness has said that August has the advantage, if we have a potion formula, how can we not show our sincerity?"
Victor raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to the old wizard.
Tofowen shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "Your Highness Randall, I don't even have the ability to manifest witchcraft runes, according to the standard of witchcraft changing reality, I can't even be called a wizard, what is the potion recipe there?" The Church's dragon vein potion is the closest thing to a potion of magic, but it also requires divine magic to restore a person's completely shattered muscles and bones. β
"My talent for witchcraft is only to probe the changes in human blood and understand the properties of medicines, and I am the most useless wizard. It took me a long time of study and trial and error to master the method of cultivating the blood of knights. Each knight's bloodline is different, which requires me to keep track of his bloodline changes for a long time and constantly adjust the potion recipe to ensure that he advances to the Silver rank. It took me 16 years to cultivate the blood of the Moon Elves...... Do you think that with my current lifespan, I have the energy to cultivate silver knights again? My bloodline ability to cultivate knights cannot be replicated, and when I die, how can the kite castle and the centaur hills be unbalanced? Besides, doesn't the York family have wizards? Even if there are no now, there will be no wizards in the future of the Gangbis descendants?"
Victor nodded and said, "Master Tofowen, please let me judge if there is a potion recipe in the Kite Castle, you just need to talk to me about the knowledge of human bloodline." β
Tofowen thought for a moment, then said, "Then talk about my understanding of human bloodline...... In my eyes, the human bloodline is very inclusive, and can accommodate elves, barbarians, and even gnolls and ogres......"
"Wait, wait!"
Victor was startled, raised his hand to stop the old wizard, and asked cautiously: "Master, there is a realistic basis for the human bloodline to accommodate the bloodline of elves and barbarians, and it is too scary to accommodate gnolls and ogres, right?"
Tofowen shook his head and smiled: "I'm not talking about reproduction, but the characteristics of human bloodlines that carry many monster bloodlines, which are usually hidden and need to be activated for a short time through potions. The Berserk Potion is the same as the ogre's berserk principle, and the effect of the Boiling Blood Potion is the same as that of the Gnoll's bloodthirstiness. These are enough to show that the human bloodline contains many bloodline talents. β
Victor's eyes flickered, nodded, and said, "Master Tofowen, please continue." β
"Because of inclusiveness, human blood is complex and changeable. The old wizard continued, "I have seen hundreds of changes in the human bloodline, and carrying the Void Element is one of the bloodline changes, that is, the knight's bloodline. β
"The human bloodline is complex and changeable, so it is very malleable. The principle of shaping is that one is purified, the other is dormant. The high-ranking knights purify their bloodlines through the Void elementals, and I purify the bloodlines of knights and moon elves through potions. β
Marquis Goron explained: "Victor, the Golden Knight purifies the knight's bloodline and passes it on to his children, and after four or five generations of reproduction, his descendants begin to awaken the mixed parts of the bloodline. Master Tofowen is to use the medicine to let the mixed bloodline continue to lie dormant and purify the knight's bloodline. So in the past few decades, many high-ranking knights have emerged in Auguste. β
Toferwen nodded and continued: "The shaping principle of purifying dormant reveals the stability of the human bloodline, just like the water in a basin, high on one side and low on the other, but after all, it is contained in a basin. No matter how much the human bloodline adjusts and changes, it is still a human ...... The Moon Elf bloodline is a special case, and the Sword Saint Draven eventually becomes an elf. Therefore, I believe that by allowing the Moon Elf bloodline to draw power from the dormant human bloodline, a Sun Elf can be cultivated. β
"However, human bloodlines are complex and changeable, and the bloodlines of the Sun Elves may not be single, so it is clear that you have embarked on a different path than Draven. β
"There are hundreds of changes in the bloodline, purify one, let the rest of the hundreds hibernate, how can I use a potion recipe to achieve such complex control? β
Tofowen raised his head, glanced at Victor, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness can also see the bloodline?" I don't know, in your eyes, what does the bloodline look like?"
Victor thought for a moment and said truthfully: "What I see are two different colors, red and dark gold. β
"Huh...... It's also rare to be able to see the color of the bloodline. The old wizard nodded reservedly.
Victor had previously claimed that he could see the bloodline, and that he had also incorporated the human blood into the elven bloodline, but a hundred of them did not believe it. He now also said that the human blood is red, and the sun elf blood is dark gold, which further confirms Toferwen's opinion.
Blood is not blood, and the existence that cannot be observed by the naked eye has color? It's just nonsense!
His Royal Highness Randall bragged like a child, and Toferwen, who had lived for more than a hundred years, did not want to debunk him...... After all, I watched him grow up.
"Inclusion leads to diversity, diversity leads to plasticity, and plasticity leads to stability...... Very self-consistent theory. Victor nodded in admiration, Tofer was very profound in his study of human bloodline, which made him feel admired and benefited a lot.
Victor explores the mysteries of the world by setting up false lighthouses, piling them up, carefully verifying, and removing the false from the true. Tofowen's research on human bloodlines fills in the puzzle and disproves a hypothesis.
He initially hypothesized that the creation would transform the Ancestral Gods, that the Ancestral Gods would reproduce bloodline races, and that humans would have their own Ancestral Gods. But Tofo's description of the complex diversity of human bloodlines seems to point to another possibility: that intelligent races descend from the same ancestor.
This corroborates the statement of the old ogre more than 7 years ago. It said to Edwin at the time: We have a common ancestor.
Master Edwin said that the old ogre had the ability to pass on ancient knowledge by blood, and asked Bruce to capture it alive, but it was slaughtered by Nicole, and Edwin struggled with it for a long time.
Victor also feels very sorry when he thinks about it now, the old wizard's time is short, so he can't miss it.
He decided to throw out a little bit of surprise to attract Tofowen's attention, knocked on the table and said, "I'm going to call my servant in." β
Tofowen nodded in agreement. The Marquis of Goron got up and left the hut, and it wasn't long before he returned to the house with Caligula.
"Aka, put your hand on the table and let the lord touch it. Victor commanded.
"Oh. β
Aka obediently placed his twice-sized palm on the table, blinked, and looked at the old and undecent adult with curiosity. Tofowen pressed the back of Caligula's hand and rubbed it a few more times, his sparse white eyebrows tangled together, and he withdrew his hand after a long pause.
Victor nodded and waved, "Go out, stay away from the house." β
Caligula bowed his head as if he had been pardoned, and slipped out of the hut with swift and coherent movements. Marquis Golon couldn't help but look at him more, and secretly wondered: The knight is nothing more than that, but he has such a big body......
"Incredible...... Incredible...... Even if a human is tall, how can he have the strength and physique of a barbarian?" The old wizard was full of shock, turned his head to Goron and said, "In terms of strength and physical strength alone, he is only a little worse than you, and he has already exceeded the limit of a fierce warrior. β
Goron couldn't help but be moved, looked at Victor, and asked, "Your Highness, Caligula ......?"
"Don't worry. Victor smiled and asked Tofowen, "Master, can humans become barbarians?"
The old wizard thought about it carefully, shook his head and sighed, "I can't do it...... A reality-altering potion might do. β
"Potions are related to the wizard's reality-altering sorcery, so can a wizard turn an apple into a piece of meat?"
"Of course, wizards have a lot of talents, and the sorcery of turning apples into meat may also exist. Master Tofowen nodded.
"I can also turn apples into meat. In the dismayed gazes of the two Augustes, Victor added: "Anyone can do it...... Feed the pigs with apples. β
Toferwen and Goron were dumbfounded, and the Golden Knight was the first to react, frowning and asking, "Victor, what exactly do you want to express?
"Your Highness, do you believe that the Elemental Sea is conscious?"
Goron shook his head very affirmatively, "Not conscious. β
"But in my opinion, we are the consciousness of the elemental sea, and every person, every living being, and every soul is the consciousness of the origin of the world!"
The two giants of the August family looked at each other, and Toferwen said with deep eyes: "Your Highness, what you said is very profound, and we can't keep up with your train of thought, please continue to declare your opinion." β
Why can't you match a little shocked and inexplicable expression...... Victor sneered and continued:
"The origin of the world constitutes the countless laws of the real world, and the wizards can change reality by using the laws, and we can do the same, the difference is only in the process, there is no essential difference between will, principle and result, they are all the application of the laws of the world. And we ourselves are also a reflection of the world, the soul is the master, and the blood is the law...... We can also change the law of bloodline. β
Tofowen fell into deep thought, Marquis Golon's eyes turned pure earthy yellow, and he said in a low voice:
"You have mastered the secret of the Church's psychic method!"
"No, I created the Secret Method of Spiritual Bloodline. Victor said lightly: "Caligula refined my Spiritual Bloodline Secret Method to become so strong, and it is with my Spiritual Bloodline Secret Method that I fuse human and elven bloodlines. This is the evidence I give you. β
Marquis Goron was silent for a moment, but then asked, "How did you do it?"
Victor smiled faintly, and said: "It's okay to tell you, Nelson has created a set of pile methods that are only suitable for the cultivation of fierce warriors, and Turnans has modified it, and I have added meditation methods on their basis, with the mind as the master, the body as the world, and the blood as the law, simulating the world on the verge of destruction, and dominating the law of mobilization...... Then I saw withered human bloodlines and vibrant elven bloodline. β
The Marquis of Goron spat out word by word the secret method recognized by the knights:
"Life, death, try, practice!"
"More advanced, just as effective for ordinary people, Nelson's strength has also improved dramatically, and he has also designed the secret method of fighting bears and wild apes. Victor says:
"I use Caligula as an example and call them Psychic Warriors!"
"Soul Warrior...... A warrior comparable to a knight?" Marquis Golon's expression finally became complicated, and he said bitterly, "The tenant system is designed for this new force...... Everyone is guessing the purpose of His Highness, it turns out that you are starting a new era. β
Victor smiled, "Sylvia doesn't know yet, the two adults are the two people who know this secret at the same time, besides Nelson. β
Marquis Goron was in a good mood immediately, and said with a smile: "Victor, your Soul Blood Secret Method can allow knights to simulate the process of life and death trials, which is of great significance and far-reaching impact, and I express my high respect to you on behalf of all knights." With that, he stood up, solemnly made a knightly salute, and said, "But the Soul Blood Secret Method is not suitable for more people to know about it at present......
Tofowen interjected and said: "Your Highness has a place where you can get me, please say it directly, even if I fight for this old life, I will definitely do it for Your Highness." β
"The master's eyes are like torches. Victor slapped his ass first, and said: "The meditation stage of the Soul Blood Secret Method is very difficult, except for me, Nelson and Caligula can't enter the state of life and death silence. I want to study a psychotropic potion to help them get into meditation ......" After a pause, Victor said distressedly: "That kind of potion can only make people in a trance, answer all questions, and then become idiots...... I changed it a few times, but it didn't work, so I had to ask the master for help. β
"Your Highness was born with the talent of awakening wisdom, and he can disturb the fire element in the wind stage, and his spiritual power is different from ordinary people, no wonder he can cultivate the Spiritual Bloodline Secret Method...... "I have researched the formula, plus your Spiritual Bloodline Secret Method, even if I die, August and the York family can cultivate the Silver Knight, which is equivalent to having a potion formula...... There's no reason why I shouldn't say yes. So how do we work together?"
"I need all the research results of your Excellency on the human bloodline and the medicinal properties of the medicine, I will return to the Centaur Hills, and I will send Lord Nelson to the Kite Castle to teach the secret method of the Soul Bloodline, and when you develop a spirit potion, he is bringing the formula back to the Centaur Hills. But...... Definitely don't experiment with Nelson!"
"Hehe, Your Highness, you can rest assured that there are many vicious death row inmates in Cambys, and I will never use Lord Nelson to test the medicine. The old wizard smiled and said:
"I have a research manuscript at home, so I'll give you my original manuscript...... Since we share the golden potion and the secret method of the soul and bloodline, the imperial political pattern of the royal family will also be our common interest and pursuit. β
Victor replied, "I couldn't agree more. "Mobile phone users look at the extraordinary aristocracy, please browse, a better user experience.
