"Styx Elixir?"

Xia Lin looked at the potion of potions, which were as dark and deep as the starry sky, and thought of the legend of the River Styx in the mouth of the bard, and felt more and more wonderful.

In the myths and legends of the Sassen Empire, the world was created by a god named Anya using unquenchable fire, endless soil, endless wind, and endless water.

The original world was desolate, and Anya created a serpent and two ancestral dragons to help her change the world.

The name of the serpent is Antea, which means the half of Anya, the first ancestral dragon is named Yato, which means the lord of the earth, and the second ancestral dragon is named Seto, which means the lord of the sea.

These three beings, created by Anya herself, possess great power and are able to create a variety of beings to enrich the world.

However, their power is too strong, and in order to make up for the corners of the world that they can't take care of, Anya created the first fairy Sevi and the elves to help them improve the vitality of this world together.

Later, the world suffered a catastrophe that shattered the skies and caused the great serpent Antya to fall.

Anya sewed the sky with her skin and tendons, and the silver scales became the stars in the sky, that is, the constellation Megali.

The snake bone is transformed into the dragon bone mountain range of the winding continent, the snake blood is sprinkled on the earth, and it becomes a snake man, and the first snake man is named Herlocks by Anya, which means meritorious person.

These snake people, who later became the death messengers of the spirit world, wore black robes, held scales, weights, and a black book of the dead, and were responsible for salvaging souls on the River Styx, weighing them, and then deciding what creatures they should reincarnate into in their next life.

In this myth, the role of the River Styx is clear, that is, to absorb souls from the mortal world into the spirit world, and then let the death messengers judge and deal with them, and then these weighed souls will flow down the River Styx again into the mortal world and be reincarnated as new life.

Such a mythical story with a complete reincarnation system always makes Xia Lin feel quite subtle, probably because in a world with extraordinary powers, myth and history are always a little difficult to distinguish.

Sophia's concoction of this Styx potion has made Xia Lin a lot of interest in mythology, and the spirits of the four elements can be determined to really exist, so do mythical things such as the Spirit Styx also exist in this world?

After completing the screening of Sophia's apprenticeship and filling in the two research directions she was responsible for, Xia Lin gave her a task, which was to study the true effect of the soul core that he tentatively named the logical rune.

In addition to the new topic in the direction of alchemy and golem, there is also a new topic in the direction of spell research that has greatly increased the number of people, that is, to study the spell model inside the magic organ of the Warcraft according to the mental power simulation method he proposed to study the spell model of the magic organ inside the Warcraft.

It's just that the focus of the spell research direction is still on the research of the spinning spell model, and Xia Lin has only sent eight researchers to take charge of the daily feeding, custody, cleaning, and research of the four demonic beasts on duty for the time being.

The four living demonic beasts that Xia Lin acquired through the Adventurer's Guild were all low-level demonic beasts, and their strength was similar to or slightly surpassed that of the First Ring Mage or the Great Knight, and the species were forest monitor lizards, swamp demon crabs, human-faced spiders, and thick-armored wild boars.

Among them, the forest monitor lizard can spray spell poison, this kind of poison can easily melt armor, ordinary people will die directly if they are slightly contaminated or even smell some, but in the case of isolating the rune and isolating the magic power, its venom power is greatly reduced.

The swamp demon crab is less dangerous, as long as it is not caught by the pair of large pincers more than half a meter long, it is basically not dangerous, and its magic ability is to use mud to form a thick carapace on the surface of the body to resist external damage.

Among the four types of magical beasts, the most dangerous are the human-faced spider and the thick-armored wild boar.

The magic ability of the basin-sized human-faced spider is a terrifying illusion that charms humans, and through the strange face patterns on their backs, they can easily charm humans and become their food.

This spell is easy to resist even for a one-ring mage

The best way to deal with the trick is to increase the resistance of the one-ring spell of the prophecy system, but the researchers in the research institute are all less than the strength of the zero ring and above, and no one has mastered this spell.

For this reason, Xia Lin specially asked Sophia to spend six gold lunds and thirty-four silver mar to make two one-ring prophecy system resistance enhancement rune plates.

A Mana Crystal can be used about fifty times, each lasting three minutes, and the rune node can be recharged for twelve hours, enough for the responsible researcher to complete the daily feeding process.

The spell ability of the thick-armored boar is to generate rock armor similar to the swamp demon crab mud armor, but the thickness of the thick-armored boar is close to two meters, and there are two fangs thirty or forty centimeters long on its mouth.

The huge size gives it strong strength and resistance, even if it is locked in the living demonic beast preservation room with steel plates everywhere, and it is a little restless when it uses a potion that can paralyze the demonic beast, Xia Lin explained that the researcher must be careful when he is on duty with this demonic beast.

After arranging the affairs of the institute, Xia Lin was ready to go to the princess Dorothea again to discuss some affairs.

In addition to the issue of the researchers of the research institute and the progress of the new army, he also had two things to explain to Her Royal Highness, one of which was the source of researchers after the establishment of the alliance's R&D center.

When the business alliance was established, the R&D center was given the right to freely select craftsmen as R&D personnel in the member chambers of commerce, but there is still a problem to be solved in order to truly implement this power, that is, to let each chamber of commerce count the craftsmen under its name.

In addition, the second thing that Xia Lin wanted to discuss with Her Royal Highness was the question of weights and measures that had plagued him for a long time.

The Sassen Empire was officially equipped to become a vast empire after the famous reforms of Sassen IX Lunt the Great 600 years ago.

In terms of administrative division, Lent the Great abolished the overly powerful marquis titles and marquises, and divided the empire into five major realms: east, west, north, south, and middle, and then under the realm were the territories of the nobles everywhere.

The biggest change in this realm system was to position the laws of the empire above the lord's legislation, and to add arbitrators from all over the country, seizing some of the arbitration powers.

Although the most important military and economic power was still in the hands of the lords, they did nominally become part of the empire.

Politically, Lunt the Great changed the traditional court aristocratic deliberations, and chose to establish a series of institutions including the Administration Bureau, the Finance Department, the Commerce Department, the Agricultural Department, and the Military Affairs Department to be responsible for the handling of imperial administrative affairs.

Militarily, Lunt the Great abolished the traditional system of recruiting knights and peasants, and adopted the method of transferring military service and mercenary system in parallel, which greatly enhanced the military strength of the empire.

This series of reforms rejuvenated the already troubled Sassen Empire, and also put the head of Lunt the Great on the gold coin, but he did not solve a very important problem of the Sassen Empire, that is, weights and measures.
