Chapter 18 Schumpeter's Legacy
Master Long was also a master of erudition. She has identified hundreds of different tree species from the green forest. Several of these trees are valuable in Norland, and dragon mages have been cutting down these trees and transporting them back to Norland in exchange for military expenses and maintenance of the plane.
After listening to Lina's introduction to the tree species, Richard asked, "Is there any difference between the natives of the area?"
"So far, we have found only one kind of intelligent life, and of course, they are divided by tribes within themselves," Lina said. After many experiments, I found that they have a lot of similarities with the forest elves and wild elves of the Norland plane, but they are not identical. Come with me and I'll show you something. ”
Richard followed Lina to the basement of the Lord's Castle. Guards were placed everywhere along the way, and it appeared that they were heavily guarded. There is a prison in the underground space of the Lord's Castle, where only the most important prisoners are kept. In addition, Lina's own magic room is also housed here.
Lina first takes Richard into a prison deep underground.
There were twenty cells in total, all filled with prisoners, all of whom were native spirits of different genders, ages, sizes, and tribes. But except for the indigenous elves in the first few cells, who are fully clothed, all the indigenous elves in the back cells, regardless of men, women, and children, are **.
Richard glanced at many of them and saw signs of torture and abuse, while the two beautiful young elven women were a little confused.
"I didn't expect your taste to be quite heavy. Richard said lightly, but did not accuse anything.
"Most of the things here are left by Schumpeter, but they are actually a complete set of real yàn systems. Read on to find out. Lina said, leading Richard to the end of the cell, opening an iron door to reveal a wide space behind it.
It's a dark, eerie, and bloody place. A total of four magicians and alchemists were busy inside, and the arrival of Richard and Lina did not attract their attention in the slightest, and they did not even look up. Their actual materials are humans, beasts, and indigenous elves.
At the end of the hall there was a row of cubicles, large enough for one person to lie down. In each chamber lies a pregnant female, not only humans, but also native elves, Norland elves, orcs, and simple monsters.
On the other side, there is a complete set of alchemy instruments that Richard can't name. The scarlet liquid boils in one vessel and flows through a transparent pipe to another vessel. A dwarf alchemist was engrossed in observing the face of the liquid, and from time to time he would unleash a specific spell on the container. His assistant was always ready with a clipboard, recording whatever words came out of the warlock's mouth.
In two iron cages placed against the wall, three strong human men are surrounding an indigenous elven girl, ravaging her. In another iron cage, an elven man with a very delicate appearance is having sex with a human woman.
"Here, the bloodlines of the indigenous elves will be combined with the various species through large-scale hybridization, hybridization or black magic sacrifices, so as to screen out particularly strong or weak combinations, and then continue the next step of research. Lina explained.
Richard frowned slightly, didn't say a word, and followed Lina to the next space. There are two old magicians working at the desk, and there are several alchemy machines everywhere, all of which are high-end goods, all of which are used to assist calculations.
Behind it is a warehouse, where samples of various organs and blood are stored, and there are nearly a thousand kinds of them!
Then there is the incubation room, the exhibition room, the beast room and the material recovery room.
Dark, brutal, and bloody, Richard had to admit that what he saw was a complete and rather rigorous system, with a rich and well-developed methodological guidance, and that such a scale had obviously accumulated a considerable number of jù. If it weren't for the different materials, this would be a large-scale and well-equipped magical base.
After a full circle, Richard and Lina walked out of prison and went to Lina's own magical room. Her real room had just been built, and it was rudimentary in size and equipment. However, when he saw that the actual samples here were all kinds of magical beasts, Richard still felt refreshed and relaxed in front of him.
Lina also seemed to become a little more relaxed, and pointed to the various magical beasts in the cage, and said, "They are all unique magical beasts of this plane, I need to figure out which one has the most appetite for dragons." If not, then try to cultivate one yourself. It's not so easy to keep a dragon as a partner!"
Richard remembered the dragon mage's red dragon and nodded.
"Actually......" Lina pondered for a moment before she said, "What you just saw is the Demonic Beast Cultivation Room that Schumpeter established when he was running the Green Forest Plane. The equipment and the magicians and alchemists were all left over from that time. Lord Gordon has kept the system, and I'm helping them maintain it. This real room is one of the core secrets of the Schumpeter family, and their Bear Knight, as well as many other cultivated monsters and cultivated warriors, all come from a similar system. Schumpeter's purpose in establishing the real yàn chamber that we have just seen was to find out the weaknesses in the bloodline of the natives of the plane, so as to completely exterminate them by means such as the plague. The natives of this plane are surprisingly powerful, and the Schumpeter family has not been able to expand their sphere of influence here after decades of war, so they will find a way to do this. In addition, they also covet the powerful abilities of the native elves, trying to isolate them. ”
Richard groaned, and instead of immediately stating his opinion, he asked, "Is there any progress?"
He somewhat understood why the Schumpeter family, which was not very outstanding in force, established itself in Faust, and vaguely guessed what Mensa had taken on him by all means, even at the expense of giving up Joseph to win over Schumpeter. Sinclair's dying request came to mind abruptly, and Richard couldn't help frowning.
Lina pondered her words and said, "It's just a phase. If we want to get really effective results, I am afraid that more than ten years of research will be needed. ”
Richard nodded and said, "It seems that this plane is even more troublesome than I expected." ”
"Of course, otherwise the Schumpeter family wouldn't have been in business for so long, and there was still only such a city. In contrast, their biggest gain may be the actual yàn base. ”
Richard said: "Show me the phased results you just mentioned." ”
Lina walked over to the cabinet by the wall, carefully unlocked the magic lock attached to it, and opened it. I saw that there were three crystal bottles inside, each containing most of the liquid in half. There is a label on each of the three bottles, which says jadeite solvent, crystallization toxin, and elemental quenching.
Lina explained the purpose of each of the three flasks, and the emerald solvent was actually a plague that contained countless very subtle creatures. Schumpeter called it a germ. This is based on the original plague bacteria that the Schumpeter family has studied for many years, and has been re-cultivated with creatures from the green forest plane to adapt to the constitution of the indigenous elves.
The work was long and enormous, and had only succeeded once so far, with a vial of plague bacteria. This germ is not completely completed, and the most fatal flaw is that it is not contagious by contact, but it can be known through the guò test that as long as it has enough doses to enter the bloodstream, even the strong people who have reached the Holy Realm will die of illness within a week. As for whether it will take effect on more powerful native elves, there are no instances so far.
Crystallized toxin is a very violent poison, extracted from a heavy metal in Norland and the core of a rare plant life tree in the green forest plane. It has an incomparable lethality to plants, and a small drop of toxin can completely kill an ancient war tree. The effect on the Green Forest Elves is also obvious, as long as the ordinary elves hit a little, they will die within a few minutes.
Finally, there is the mysterious elemental quenching. This is more than ten years ago, the Schumpeter family captured a mysterious energy-absorbing demonic beast in the green forest plane, and then used black magic to refine it for three full years before obtaining such a vial of elemental quenching. If a Green Forest powerhouse or a powerful demonic beast takes the Elemental Quenching, their whole body will dissolve inch by inch, and they will die in great pain, and eventually the essence of flesh and power in the whole body will condense together and turn into a blood crystal. If a strong person takes this blood crystal, if his physique is strong enough, he can obtain part of the energy contained in the blood crystal, so that his magic power or fighting spirit will be greatly increased. Even if it is in a bottleneck state, it is possible to force a breakthrough.
Elemental quenching mainly draws elemental energy. According to the elders of the Schumpeter family, if you capture a higher-level energy-absorbing beast, it is possible to refine an incredible bloodline quenching. This potion has a chance to kill the target, condensing the blood power of the target's life into the blood crystal, and thus being obtained by another person!
After listening to Lina's explanation, Richard inexplicably felt a chill.
Seeing these things hidden behind the shady scenes, Richard realized that the Schumpeter family actually has a background and a hidden strong strength, which is fully worthy of their identity as a floating island giant. It takes time for Schumpeter to accumulate strength, and the path they choose becomes more and more lenient the more they go. For example, if they are given another thirty years to develop the emerald solution, they can completely set off a great plague in the entire green forest plane. If you're lucky, you can even go straight to extinction.
Another example is the Bear Rider, which is taking the road of mass production. Their strength is not much worse than that of the Constructed Knights, but they are much more numerous. Once Peter Schumbel breaks through several bottlenecks in the cultivation of bear knights, then he can breed in large numbers like raising monsters. At that time, not to mention that their floating island ranking will improve, it is very likely that they will directly rise to the sixth layer.
It's just that the Schumpeter family was really unlucky, and they bumped into Gordon and Akmund under his leadership before they succeeded.
