Chapter 12: Bloodline

Once a creation like a glass mirror is put into the market, it will have a huge impact on cities and even the whole world. This is not only a commodity that brings more convenience to people, but also a concept that is ahead of its time - just as the ancestors were able to extract metals from ores and use plants to make medicines, people today can also synthesize items like glass from various materials. According to this line of thinking, a system will inevitably be formed, and more things will be created slowly.

It can be expected that it will not be long before more and more novel items will appear one by one compared to this era. And the concept of "alchemy" "created" by Sutum will also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Of course, this is something that needs to be considered later.

For Sutum now, promoting the glass mirror will not only bring him and Sauron huge profits, but also bring huge risks. If it is not handled well, all the manufacturers of copper mirrors, as well as the forces behind them, will become his enemies. Those forces who see the prospect of the mirror will also be jealous of their profits and secretly resort to various means.

These are all potentially dangerous. No matter what kind of force it is, there are people behind it. The weaker ones might just be small areas like Sauron. And the powerful ones are likely to involve prophets and angels. None of this is what Sutum is willing to face. After all, he hadn't been a demon for a long time, and his power was only just getting acquainted, so he might not be able to defeat these people.

To exist is to have everything. Strength is the foundation of existence.

This is Sutum's first idea in this world.

Fortunately, neither he nor Zoro were stupid, and they took this into account the moment they saw the glass mirror. Sutum himself was not good at dealing with these things, so he left these things to Sauron. As for whether Sauron can do a good job - he is also a local snake, and his tavern is also well run, it must be better than Sutum himself.

Sutum also told some of his memories and experiences, such as "win-win cooperation, let those forces enter the market together", "scarcity is expensive", "proper publicity, hunger marketing" and so on, although I don't know what the effect is, it should be able to play a role more or less.

Then he asked Sauron to find some craftsmen to help Sutum further refine the technique of making glass, so that he could produce more numerous and more beautiful products.

These craftsmen have all gone through Sutum's [hints] to perform certain manipulations on memory and consciousness to prevent this technique from circulating and causing some trouble.

As time went by, the technology of mirror making gradually developed, and some finished products began to be sold, becoming a hot commodity. Sauron's power is also slowly growing, surpassing some of the opponents in the Outer Ring City.

Although these Sutums had heard of them, they did not pay attention to them. His attention was drawn to the vision of Eloth.

Eloth had been in a coma in Redlight City for almost a month since she was taken to Sisos City by Sutum. During this time, she remained in a coma and did not wake up.

If it weren't for Sutum's sense that her life was stable and there was no danger, I am afraid that she would have to find all kinds of treatments - people in this era are generally strong, and the number of doctors who have mastered treatment techniques is relatively small, and it is not easy to find one. If it's a minor problem, you can buy some potions in the city to solve it.

In the past few days that Xia has taken care of Eloth, some faint light has begun to appear on Eloth's body, this light is as clear as water, and when it shines on people, it can make people feel calm and peaceful.

When this light appeared, Eloth still did not wake up, but began to burst out of her mouth from time to time with some inexplicable words.

"How long has she been like this?"

Sutum asked, sitting on the edge of Elloth's bed.

Aloth on the bed looked calm. The snow-white skin exudes a soft clear light, and with her beautiful and picturesque face, she is like a sleeping beauty out of a fairy tale.

Sutum was in a trance, and he had the urge to be a prince for once.

The blue-haired girl stood next to her and said timidly, "It's been like this since last night." ”

"Hmm. Sutum groaned and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing, you can go out first." ”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and went out in a bit of a panic.

Sutum looked at her back, thoughtful.

Ordinary people must be amazed when they see this vision, and it is not impossible to even regard Eloth as a prophet. And the girl didn't have the slightest surprise on her face, obviously she had seen a similar scene before.

Sure enough, he is a person with the potential to awaken the prophet, and the origin is probably not simple.

After Sutum bought Talos and Shia back, he had instructed Nick to secretly investigate their origins. Talos was originally a defender of the distant Storm City, but unfortunately he offended an elder with real power in the city, was assassinated and seriously injured, and was thrown out of the city. Later, he was captured by the team in the wasteland, bought and sold several times, and became a slave in the city of Sisos. This identity is quite transparent.

As for the blue-haired girl Thea, she was brought over by a wasteland caravan and became a slave for some reason. Her previous experience was a blank slate, and no trace could be found at all.

While investigating them, Nick also gathers some information about Wright and Mulder.

Wright and Mulder hail from the Nile City in the Central Heath, a megacity with a population of over a million and extremely prosperous. If it weren't for the fact that the concept of a state had not yet appeared in this world, the city could even be called the Nile State. Wright and Mudd belonged to a powerful and prestigious family of prophets in the Nile.

The Nile is so far away from Sisos that it takes months to ride a horse. They have worked hard to come here, and naturally they have an important purpose. Of course, that's not what Nick can find.

Wright is not really the only one with Mud, they are a large team, and there are not a few strong people in it.

Sutum looked at the clear light on Eloth's body, closed his eyes, and the ability of the mirror was activated, sensing all the changes in her.

This clear light is essentially the power in Eloth's body emanating from the void, gathering some kind of homologous energy, and it has wonderful power. Sutum tried to sense it with a wisp of his own spirit. As soon as I came into contact, the emotions contained in this spirit seemed to be purified by the clear light, and the ** inside was slowly dissipating.

Sutum already knew that Eloth had the ability to perceive people's hearts, but he didn't expect that he was stronger now, and the clear light emitted could even purify people's **. In a sense, her ability was designed to restrain demons.

Sutum cut off his spirit and began to perceive the source of the clear light.

As you look through the mirror, dig deeper. He discovered that the light came from Elloth's blood and heart.

Blood flowed from her heart, resonating with a mysterious place in Eloth's body, possibly her soul, producing a powerful rush of blood around her.

Because there was no one to control it, the power in these blood naturally escaped, and the vision occurred.

Sutum unexpectedly discovered that there was a layer of wonderful runes growing on Elos's heart, and as the heart beats, this layer of runes emits a faint light.

These runes made him feel a strong sense of déjà vu, and when he thought about it, he realized that they were somewhat similar to the tattoos on the wild man.

With a thought, the scope of Sutum's mirror eyes quickly expanded, enveloping Xia.

In Xia's body, he also found a heart with runes, and the same light emitted.

There was no doubt that Mudder and the young man with potential should have similar runes on their hearts, which was the source of their strength. It is also the reason why they can awaken to the potential of prophets again.

The bloodline of the prophet really gained strength because of the bloodline.

The two savages themselves were mere mortals, but they were able to rely on the tattoos on their bodies to gain great power. The tattoo is probably also based on the runes in the blood of the prophet.

Sutum's mirror eyes used to only look at the fire of the origin of human life, and never looked at the details, so he never discovered these things.

This discovery made Sutum suddenly realize, and there was a feeling of tearing the veil and seeing the truth.

If so, it is clear that the wild man wanted to capture the boy.

Sutum glanced at Talos, and sure enough, as he expected, although this strong man was powerful, he had no runes on his heart, and obviously did not have prophetic blood.

Even so, in the future, as Sutum collected more information, he naturally had a way to make Talos more powerful.

“...... Sue...... Dangerous ......"

At this moment, Eloth's face turned painful, and a small sound came from his mouth.

Sutum gathered his thoughts, walked to the bedside, took her hand, and listened.

"Is this saying that I'm in danger? What is it?"

He was a little confused, but he didn't know where the danger Eloth spoke of came from. Eloth just repeated these two sentences without revealing any further information.

Gently soothing Eloth until she regained her composure, Sutum thought to himself, "Perhaps, I should make some preparations. ”
