Hearing Freya's words, Ivas and Sherlock's expressions suddenly changed.

They looked at each other, and they were sure of something in each other's minds.

"—that's not just broken!"

Master Janis was the most panicked person in the audience as if he had seen the sky fall: "I must inform His Majesty the Pope immediately...... It's just too dangerous! You're doing something dangerous, why don't you tell me? ”

"I just didn't say anything to anyone, so it's safest."

Freya struggled to argue, "Tell anyone that there is a chance that it will leak out." ”

But now, the words pale in comparison.

After all, if she really didn't even say anyone, then how did this bottle of "Tears of Time" disappear out of thin air?

It would be risky to steal exactly what a fifth-level transcendent was synthesizing and was very concerned about. It's like stealing a hatching egg from a female dragon looking at the nest.

Unless the other party has a very clear direction and knows that it is extremely valuable, it is possible to get into danger.

"No, I'll have to go find Cardinal Loki."

Master Janis still looked panicked: "I have to explain to him how important things you have lost, let him help you find them!" He's spying on the entire church every day, and that's when he's needed! ”

Hearing this, Ivus and Sherlock looked at each other again.

Then Ivus immediately dissuaded: "Don't worry, Master Yanis. ”

"That's right."

Sherlock on the side nodded in agreement.

Seeing that both of them reacted like this, Yanis immediately reacted: "Can't you say this thing?" Or is it ...... Cardinal Loki has a problem? ”

"It's hard to say."

Ivus shook his head and said sternly, "It's not absolutely certain yet. ”

"If you don't have 100 per cent certainty, you have to leave room for it. Even if 95% is confirmed, the remaining 5% may be reversed. ”

Sherlock raised his cane and tapped it on the ground, his expression very serious: "Because it is entirely possible that it is a trap that deceives the impatient." ”

In other words, Cardinal Loki is indeed suspicious?"

Janis keenly picked up information from the attitudes of Ivas and Sherlock: "No wonder...... Gloria...... Controlled Fire ......"

She also immediately thought of Gloria's death that she had just heard about.

Gloria Bluerose, who had improved her condition a few months ago, had suddenly deteriorated and committed suicide in front of Ning Po after the murder.

Is there a possibility that the "Tears of Time" took effect on her?

If Freya really didn't say anything, I'm afraid that only Cardinal Loki knew about it—as Janis just said, Cardinal Loki was constantly watching over the entire Church.

If he had the ability, he could find the thieves who had stolen Freya's lab...... Then he can also commit theft without anyone noticing. As long as he knew what the bottle was used for.

- It was like a corpse being quietly stuffed into Ivus's room.

"How many people can you give your 'third'?"

Janis suddenly thought of something and turned to ask.

Freya's expression was a little ugly.

She also realized that there was a big mess here, and her voice was a little weak and softer: "If it takes effect slowly, there will probably be more than a dozen people." It only takes three drops for a healthy elf to have a gel and crystallize in a short period of time. ”

"Then if," Ivas suddenly asked, "the other party already has coagulation, can the dosage be reduced as appropriate?" ”

"That's right." Freya nodded.

She paused, gasping.

Considering the purpose of "controlled fire", she suddenly realized what Ivas was trying to say.

"The number of dead people involved in this incident may be far more than these dozen or so."

Ivas said slowly, "Let's assume — let's assume it. Let's assume that Gloria's death has something to do with it. Then this matter should at least have something to do with the controlled fire, and most likely it will have something to do with Cardinal Loki.

"So, what would happen if the 'Tears of Time' fell into the hands of an extremely controlled firefighter?"

"—a catalyst for the situation."

Sherlock replied crisply.

A deep blue flame burned in his pupils, a sign of his full contemplation and resonance with the path of wisdom: "A more useful meaning than to make a healthy elf sick is to let the already condensed elf die quickly." In other words, it is a 'torture drug'. Like Gloria, quickly shorten their illness...... And in the process, there may be special mental illnesses, or mental extremes, or even hallucinations—"

Sherlock said, walking quickly over to Freya, "How are you sure it can make the elves glow?" ”

"Principled analysis...... Are you going to listen from the beginning? ”

"Not necessarily. That is, you haven't done human experiments yet? ”

“…… What experiments can I take? ”

Freya was also a little helpless.

"Then you should talk about the principle."

Sherlock is as good as a stream: "I don't know much about alchemy, it's best if I can understand it." ”

Although Freya didn't like the somewhat familiar man, she was clearly aware of Sherlock's reliability and knew she was in trouble.

So she explained to Sherlock very seriously, "It goes back to the elves' immortality. Through the analysis of elven blood samples and the blood of giant trees, I found that the long lifespan of elves is actually unnatural. Once the elves' body tissues leave the body, the rate of cellular aging increases dramatically, causing the parameters of the physiological samples to be seriously inconsistent with expectations—"

"I can probably understand. But is there a more precise way to say it? Sherlock pondered for a moment, then confirmed.

Freya simply replied, "To put it simply, elves should have a lifespan similar to that of humans. It's a little longer, but it's definitely not more than twice as long as humans. ”

"-What?"

Hearing this, the other three were taken aback.

Janis's eyes widened: "In other words, ......?" ”

In the past few days, Yanis has suffered a huge blow, and the extremely exciting news has come one after another.

"That's right, for now...... The immortality of the elves, the condensation, and the weakness of desire are all inherited gifts that are formed after tomorrow. ”

Freya nodded, and confirmed, "Essentially, it's the same as a griffin being promoted from an ordinary transcendent creature to a silver-crowned dragon; Or Wild Hunt gets promoted from Wei Zhe.

"The physical parameters of the elves are definitely not enough to support them to live so long and maintain their youthful state for so long.

And you all understand...... When it comes to the abnormal prolongation of lifespan, that is the realm of the Dusk Path.

"That's right, this gift comes from the Lingpo Heavenly Division. The 'life-prolonging potions' currently in vogue on the market are all based on the study of this phenomenon - they are also of the same origin as the study of the 'wine of eternal life'. ”

- This is nothing short of a heretical finding.

This means that elves are not actually immortal, which directly denies the nobility of elves.

According to Freya's research, the elves are equivalent to another human who has been automatically taking life-prolonging potions every year since birth. Therefore, the half-elf can only inherit a small part of the elf's long lifespan, and if the bloodline is diluted again, it will have little effect on the lifespan.

Even Ivas had never heard of such outrageous knowledge.

…… No, it's not.

Aihuas's eyes widened slightly.

He seemed to have heard something like that.

It was after Janis went mad after she drew a magic painting with the fragments of Lingpo Tianji, and the Church's Gloom Disease was lifted. Therefore, they believe that the coagulation is a curse from the Lingpo Celestial.

However, after that, there was a strange "abnormal aging phenomenon" in the church, which is suspected to be the sequelae of the coagulation disease that was forcibly removed in this way. However, this part of the plot has only one beginning, and there is no follow-up.

But if you say...... Isn't that a disease?

As the power of the Spirit Celestial Division dissipated, the elves' long lifespan began to decline.

- Gradually revert back to short-lived.

Return to their true form.

But the culture of the elves has adapted to immortality and is accustomed to the unbridled consumption of lifespan. Their leisurely, plain, calm, and fair all come from "not urgent".

And if the elves realize that their life is going to decline, it will be in unimaginable chaos...... Even a reversal of the position of an entire race is possible.

That will no longer be a simple sequelae, but the beginning of the decline of the entire race.

This is the real "Tree and Perk Disaster".
