Chapter 1081: Old Duke's Bloodline
After returning to the fort, Chrissy frowned slightly when she saw Old Duke who had left after hurriedly saluting, because Old Duke's performance was obviously different from his previous performance, and he felt like he was in a hurry to do something.
"What's wrong with him?" Chrissy asked directly, sensing that Old Duke's unusual behavior should have something to do with Leo.
Leo explained, "He's having a little bit of a physical problem, and I can save him, if he can gather enough materials in a short period of time for me to make potions." ”
Chrissy instinctively felt that Leo should not be telling the truth, at least not completely, but she didn't care, just reminded: "I don't care what is wrong with old Duke, I just hope to be able to set off normally." ”
"It doesn't affect you. Leo didn't explain in more detail, just made a little promise, and after that, he went to prepare the tools for making wizard potions.
Just now, Old Duke had already believed Leo's words, thinking that there was something wrong with his body, and Leo could help him, and in order for Leo to be able to refine the potion that solved his problem, he should now be doing his best to collect the materials that Leo needed.
The reason why Leo suddenly told Old Duke that there was a physical problem and was willing to help him solve the problem was naturally not because of any kindness, he was completely interested in the bloodline of Old Duke, because he guessed that the original bloodline of Old Duke might come from the Bouc people.
The Bois are one of the most special races in the universe, and their special thing is that their entire race was created with the appearance of Source City, so they are also the original inhabitants of Source City, even before the appearance of the Supreme Council of the Universe.
According to the Bouc people themselves, the meaning of their existence is to maintain the normal operation of Source City, the greatest unnatural creation in the universe, they are not the masters of Source City, they are the servants of Source City, so when the Supreme Council of the Universe appeared in Source City, Source City also ushered in the real master, and they also handed over all the authority of Source City to the Supreme Council of the Universe, and the Supreme Council of the Universe also continued to appoint the Bouk people as the maintenance engineers of Source City.
There are all kinds of mysteries in the universe that have not been solved, and among these mysteries, who created the source city is the biggest mystery, even the owner of the source city, the Supreme Council of the universe does not know who its creator is, but the Bouc people, who are the engineers of the source city, know that they can't be told by various methods, and even extract the relevant memories.
For this reason, the Bois are considered to be the people who hold all the secrets of Source City, not only the secrets that have happened, but even what is happening now.
In other words, if the source city encounters any danger, or even the final destruction, then the people of Bouak also know best how the danger is created, and how the source city is destroyed.
The reason why Leo thinks that the old Duke may have Bouc in him is because he found some of the iconic features of the Bouc in the old Duke, such as the heart of the forty-two sides.
Although polygonal hearts are not only possessed by the Boisks, many races, especially silicon-based lifeforms, have polygonal hearts, but only the Boisk people have a forty-two-sided heart, so some people believe that the number forty-two contains a special meaning, and may even be the core secret of Source City.
After all, there are many Bouc worshippers in the universe, and they will try their best to transform their hearts into a tetradecagon, and what really makes Leo think that the old Duke and the Bouc people have something to do is that there is a badge mark of the Supreme Council of the Universe on the heart, which is the existence of several vertices in the Supreme Council of the Universe imprinted on the genes of the Bouques through special means.
Because the Bouk people are related to whether the source city can operate normally, the Supreme Council of the Universe is also very concerned about the safety of the Bouc people, and has specially formulated a series of strict regulations to protect the lives of the Bouk people, and even feels that this is not enough, so they have engraved the emblem of the Supreme Council of the Universe on the genes of the Bouk people.
The role of this badge mark is not only to allow the Supreme Council to locate the position of each Bouc, but also to allow the Bouc people to use special methods to borrow the power left in the seal by the Supreme Council to protect themselves when they are in danger.
Leo didn't know if the badge imprint in the twenty-four was the power of the Supreme Council, but he could feel a wave of energy in Old Duke's heart that was different from his own power, and that energy fluctuation was similar to psionic energy.
The abnormality in Old Duke's body is caused by the conflict between the energy of the heart and the energy of the body, and if you don't want to solve it, this conflict will become more and more intense, and finally completely destroy Old Duke as an energy host, so Leo is not wrong to say that Old Duke has a physical problem.
As for why Leo knew that Old Duke was taking drugs to improve the purity of his bloodline, it was also very simple, because Old Duke couldn't perfectly control his strength at all, and the only thing he could do was to keep the energy in his body from leaking out as much as possible, which only appeared in the kind of people who gained strength through external forces.
It was precisely because Leo was able to clearly say all kinds of abnormalities in Old Duke's body that Old Duke believed Leo's words, thinking that there was something wrong with the bloodline that he had stimulated after taking the potion, otherwise how could Old Duke believe the words of a stranger he met for the first time.
Leo said that helping Duke Sr. solve the problem was not entirely a lie, because he wanted to try to extract the bloodline in Duke Sr.'s heart that might belong to the Boisks through a bloodline refining potion he saw in the Forbidden Library.
If he can succeed in the end, then there is only one bloodline power in Old Duke's body, and the abnormal power conflict that caused him to appear in his body will disappear, and the problem will naturally be solved.
Even if he didn't succeed, Leo didn't have anything to lose, but he got a very good experience in refining potions, after all, if he was asked to collect the materials needed to refine that bloodline refining potion, I am afraid it would take a lot of time.
In addition, regardless of whether the problem is solved or not, Leo can also get a lot of money from Old Duke, and these rewards are all exchanged for various rare materials in this world according to Leo's requirements, which also happens to make Old Duke believe that Leo is a capable pharmacist.
Although the Maelstrom of the Taranke Trench is very barren, it does not mean that there is nothing good here, in fact, because it is an unregulated area, there is no need to pay taxes for any transactions here, which makes a large number of sea smugglers and pirates choose this place as a distribution center for contraband and dirt trade.
Old Duke knows the situation here well, and he knows very well where to find the materials he wants to prepare, so less than an hour has passed, Old Duke has already prepared all the materials that Leo needs, and the weight of each material is not low.
Leo was also surprised that Old Duke was able to find enough materials in such a short time, and after checking the quality of each material and picking out the parts that did not meet the requirements, he began to refine the potion in the fortress, and Chrissy, who had nothing to do, also seemed to be curious about the potion that Leo was refining, so he asked to watch from the sidelines, which Leo did not refuse.
"Are you refining Buck's forbidden medicine?" Chrissy silently watched Leo skillfully decompose and mix the materials, accurately and quickly refining the essence of the materials, the expression on her face changed slightly with the drop of blood-colored medicine dripping from the mouth, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes. Leo didn't deny it.
"You should know that this is a forbidden medicine for sin, and anyone who makes it, even if it is the royal family of the Sea Clan, will be punished as it deserves. Although there was no one else in the fortress, and Old Duke and the others were outside the fortress, Chrissy still subconsciously looked around before warning.
"Hmm!" Leo nodded and said, "Those rules are only for you, and I am not within the scope of the rules." ”
Chrissy didn't say anything more after hearing this, and just stood calmly aside.
The reason why Chrissy reacted so much to the forbidden medicine that Leo had refined was because the potion was so dangerous that it almost caused a civil war in the Sea Clan.
The name of Buck's forbidden medicine is not only the name of the maker, but also the effect of this forbidden drug, in the Hai language, Buck means to refine, extract, and this forbidden medicine is extracted from the original bloodline in the user's body.
For the vast majority of people in the Sea Clan and the Poseidon World, the improvement of the purity of the bloodline also means the improvement of strength and status, if an ordinary low-level Sea Clan person can improve his original bloodline to the limit, it will not be difficult for him to become a Sea King.
Buck was the best pharmacist of the Sea Clan at that time, and his main purpose in making this potion was to improve his daughter's original bloodline, so as to avoid being divided into the lower Sea Clan because of the lack of bloodline purity.
His idea was very simple, that is, to find those lowest-level Sea Clansmen, and then spend a lot of money to buy a part of their primordial bloodlines, and then separate these bloodlines through potions, extract them, and transfer them to his daughter's body, improving the purity of the bloodline in disguise.
The whole process was very successful, whether it was the potion he made or the process of extracting the isolated bloodline, it was completed very smoothly.
Those who were extracted bloodline did not suffer any harm because they still retained part of their bloodline during the quarantine process, but they were slightly mentally exhausted, and the characteristics of the Sea Clan began to degrade in some places, but for those who were already at the bottom, no matter how the characteristics of the Sea Clan degenerated, as long as they did not disappear, their status would not change in any way.
Later, Buck transplanted the extracted bloodlines to his daughter, who successfully fused these bloodlines, and because of the increased purity of the bloodlines, she also retained her position in the Sea Clan society.
Originally, the matter was over here, and as long as this kind of thing was not done again, no one else would know.
But the problem is that after seeing the effect of extracting bloodline on his daughter, Buck started to think about other things, wanting to use this method on himself, so as to improve his status and power.
For this reason, he used the same method to spend a lot of money to buy the bloodline of the low-level Sea Clan, but the financial resources on his body were completely insufficient, and he had soon used up all the belongings on hand, and a small dose of primordial bloodline could no longer have much effect on improving the bloodline, he needed more primordial bloodline. So he thought of other methods, from spending money to buy blood, to forcibly extracting bloodline from captives, from extracting bloodline in controlled isolation, to extracting all the bloodline of the victim without control.
Soon, this unrestrained behavior led to the death of a large number of low-level Sea Clansmen, and also attracted the attention of the Sea Clan higher-ups, who immediately sent people to investigate and caught Buck who was committing the murder.
Buck's elixir also appeared in the eyes of the Sea Clan's higher-ups, and instead of destroying this potion, the Sea-Clan's high-level officials tried to refine it themselves and use it secretly to improve their bloodline.
The actions of these high-level Sea Tribes led to the spread of casualties from the bottom Sea Tribes to the entire Sea Tribes, and after they appeared among their own people, they immediately blamed other groups, and for a time the entire Sea Tribes were in a state of disintegration, and everyone in the Sea Tribes was in danger, feeling that a big war was inevitable.
However, it seems that the Poseidon apparition calmed down the turmoil of the imminent civil war, and all the Sea Tribes who had participated in the refining and use of Buck's potions were either captured or killed, and after the matter finally calmed down, the entire Sea Clan lost almost a third of its population.
Because of this, Buck's potion is regarded as a devil's potion by the Sea Clan, and the Sea Clan also has a rule that anyone who makes this potion will be regarded as an enemy of the Sea Clan, including the powerful within the Sea Clan.
The Spirit Race and the Poseidon Church have issued similar announcements, severely cracking down on anyone who tries to make and use Buck potions.
I don't know if it's because it's been too old, long enough to make people forget about the dangers of Buck's potion, or if it's because the people who organize the library are negligent and misplaced the books, but in short, Leo saw a complete process of making Buck's potion in a bunch of ordinary forbidden books.
This process is extremely complicated for others, and the process of making it is very difficult, but for Leo, who has completely mastered the refining methods of various potions such as wizard potions, the refining of Buck's potion is really simple, so simple that he can refine it with his eyes closed, so the source of the medicinal effect of this potion is not the refining method, but the materials used.
Soon after Leo continued to optimize the refining process, a whole large Buck potion was refined, and Chrissy, who watched the whole process, was frowning all the time, but did not stop it, until Leo began to clean the tools, she said, "Can I use this potion?"
