Chapter 193: Bloodline Detection
We have overcome all obstacles to reach the other side, pushed open the gates of the new world, and lifted the throne to the heavens, so that we will be immortal forever. 【(7764)】
Bahamut "The Road to the Wild"
Legend has it that after the first opening of heaven and earth, the gods began to create life with their imagination and cast these lives on the earth, allowing them to live and multiply freely and compete with each other. Of course, this is nothing more than a fool's statement, and it is a joke in the eyes of the wise who really have knowledge.
The "ancient gods" who truly created the life of the race are no longer verifiable, and the gods who rule this world now are the "new gods" who rose in the barbarian era. Long before the new gods ruled the world, there were already many ancient races in this land, such as centaurs, trolls, orcs, etc., and the races that could dominate one side in that era first needed to have a strong physique, and humans at that time were obviously not among them.
Humanity's strength lies in its bloodline adaptability, and in this respect there is hardly any race other than the dragons that can be compared to humans. The bloodline of dragons is extremely aggressive, and they are also known to have no lower limit in some aspects, thus creating a thousand strange wurmists and dragonblood creatures. Humans' bloodline adaptability is the opposite, and is known for its strong assimilation ability, which can absorb the advantages of other races' bloodlines for their own use.
Strictly speaking, the human beings who now occupy the dominant position on the continent are obviously different from the primitive human tribes of the barbarian era. This difference is embodied in the fact that many of the unique racial talents of human beings have disappeared from history and become ancient legends.
It is said that the human nobility living in the southern world of Northrend still has an ancient bloodline, but that is too far away for the inhabitants of Kanillas. The main reason why he talked about this topic was because El had doubts about his own bloodline.
Compared to the unreachable Golden Gate, El was now more concerned with the second cycle of runes he had established, and the two newborn runes involved the soul level, which was completely beyond his comprehension. And the Rune Language "Requiem", which is composed of seven runes spontaneously, also faces the same problem. I think that when Master Stephen forced him to study, he even used his sister as a reward to stimulate El's interest in learning, but because of the tight time, he couldn't do it in the end. At the time, El didn't realize what he had missed, and now he can't help but regret it.
Knowledge is power, this saying is not only the motto of magicians, but also the common rule of this world. El had longed for great power, but when he did, he found that he lacked the knowledge he needed to control it. ((7764)) It's like a man who needs warmth and finally lights a bonfire, but when he finds out that he has lit a forest and has no tools to extinguish the fire, the fate can be imagined.
He now desperately needs the encyclopedia girl Lolana to help him solve his problems.
"So you suspect there's something wrong with your bloodline?" asked Lolana, looking at the runic abilities that Elro had listed, with her cheeks in her hand.
"It just doesn't feel right. Ella pulled up his sleeves and revealed to Lolana that although the rune inscription on the back of his hand had exited its perfect state, the seven runes that had established the second cycle had not disappeared, but had been combined into a complex totemic symbol full of mystery, engraved on the back of his right hand. He could clearly feel the power coming from this totem symbol, slowly and orderly transforming his body.
"Although I have had similar fantasies subconsciously, the soul realm is clearly not within my grasp. I used to think that I would be able to control the power of these runes, but now the power of awakening feels strange to me, and it feels like ...... I thought I had found my way, but that path had already existed. I'm not a trailblazer, just a pedestrian. El said worriedly, frowning.
"It does look a lot like the heritage of that ancient race, and I've heard that that ancient race has a special kind of warrior who is called a headhunter by outsiders. They are both excellent hunters and brutal exorcists, and like to wear the skulls of their enemies as ornaments, from which they absorb the souls of their enemies and transform them into their own power...... I don't remember which book it was in, so you can look for it on the shelf over there. Luo Lana thought carefully and said, "I can also help you check your blood, if there are signs of blood awakening, it is easy to see." ”
"The old man who adopted me before said he picked me up from a ravine, but that's pure. El looked at the black ring on his finger, pouted and said, "Our ravine is full of jackals, tigers and leopards, how can it leave me alive...... I knew he must be hiding something from me, but before I could say anything, the old man was stricken with the plague and died. ”
"It's common for humans to be mixed, there's nothing to make a fuss about, and you're not one of those princes and nobles who insist on pure-bloods. But then again...... If there is really a bloodline inheritance factor, then your bloodline is not simple. Lolana babbled, her hands had been cleared of the table, all kinds of experimental utensils were placed, and her face was full of "I'm very curious".
In front of the curious eldest lady, El didn't dare to disobey, and obediently stretched out his hand to let Lolana draw a whole tube of blood. When drawing blood, Lolana also specially instructed him to suppress all his rune power so as not to affect the blood sample. Despite this, the blood drawn out still had a faint blue glitter in it, and it looked as if it had been added with phosphorus powder.
"It's clear that you haven't fully absorbed your newfound power...... The talent of a rune master is not something that ordinary people can possess, maybe you are really the last prince of some ancient troll empire. Lolana held the test tube in front of her eyes and shook it slightly, then turned her head to El half-jokingly.
"Please spare me. El waved his hand and climbed up to the bookshelf at the other end of the carriage, looking at the neatly arranged books on the shelves and sighing. Master Stephen once said to him that Gogari is a written language specifically for record-keeping. The reason why the lingua franca is universal is that the grammar is simple and the communication is convenient, with a total of less than 800 words, which can be easily mastered even by uneducated countrymen. As a written language, Gagari requires rigorous grammar, clear meanings, and a vocabulary more than ten times that of the lingua franca, which can reach about 8,000.
Even so, Gogari is still a basic language, and almost every race, school, and even country has its own unique language and culture, and even language masters who specialize in this field dare not say that they are proficient in all kinds of scholarship. As a result, the library became a desperate existence, and a semi-literate person like El could not even recognize the title of the book, let alone find it from inside, and it would be easier for him to go out and find Hagnan to fight it alone.
Lolana used her memory to point out a few random books for El to find, and then devoted her attention to the experiment in front of her. As for whether El can find what he wants from the book, it is not within her consideration, and the idiot can't read it anyway, so it is better to pass the time.
"There's no ...... in this book either," El whispered after a while.
"Look at the twelfth book on the right in the sixth row of the bookshelf on the left, I remember the "Historical Examination of Civilizations and Races in the Middle Ages" written by Van Dillen" Lolana stared at the test tube and casually said the name of a book.
"History again, please, don't we have a slightly more vulgar troll-related reading here?" El grumbled as he closed the book.
"Vulgar reading? You mean the kind of novels sold on the stalls? Sorry, there's no way a teacher would put that kind of thing on his shelf. If you need that, I can make a copy for you. Lolana said with a sad voice.
The gap between the cultural level of the two people is too big, of course, the books that Luo Lana usually reads can't stay at such a shallow level, she wanted to use this opportunity to arouse Er's interest in learning, but she didn't expect this guy to be hopeless, even reading quietly for a while is too troublesome, I really can't have any hope for him.
"Okay, then let's settle for the next best, there will always be a record of the Fallen Leaf Sword Saint, right?" Perhaps sensing the eldest lady's unhappy mood, El pretended to be calm and patted the dust on the book in his hand, stuffed it back to its original position with an expressionless face, and then changed the subject without a trace.
"Deciduous Sword Master, I have an impression of this, you look for it in the bottom row, there should be a copy of "Exploring the North", I don't remember who the author is, but I am very impressed by the content in it. ”
Luo Lana put down the blood test tube in her hand that had already taken on a strange color, rubbed her temples and thought about it carefully, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she whispered: "I remember that the Fallen Leaf Sword Saint Cyprus seems to be a ...... ?"
"What?!" El's hands trembled, and he threw the book he had just found to the ground. At the same time, the dragon tooth bow behind him also seemed to tremble slightly, but the movement was relatively weak, and neither of them noticed.
"Ah...... I remembered why I felt that this person was more impressed. Lolana shook her fingers and said with a wicked smile on her face, "During that period of history, the four knights who followed the ancestors to open up the northern realm later started their own families and established their own families, such as the White Lion. But only the Fallen Leaf Sword Saint did not leave any descendants, and returned to the Sword Castle to live in seclusion alone, and never asked about the world. ”
A hundred years later, the master of drama, Mel Brest, adapted the book "Frontier to the North" into an epic play, and set the Fallen Blade Saint Cyprus as the lover of the first king...... In short, it's full of emotion. Although it has been criticized for this setting, this drama has also shined because of it, and it is still being remade until now......"
"You're a! your whole family is a!" Cyprian's grief-stricken voice suddenly appeared in El's head, and his brain was buzzing.
"Uh...... The ......" El was embarrassed to speak.
"Shut up, don't talk to me!" said Cyprus, gritting his teeth, his voice abruptly halting, as if to close himself off unilaterally.
